(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of Territorial Invasion from Showdown’s side. Veena Adams successfully defends the Answers World Championship against Jake Smith. Harper Lee defeats Solomon Stane to retain the National Elite Championship, as Silas World brutally attacks Solomon and Trixie after and Donovan and Harper end it all with a kiss. Ms. Extreme successfully defends the Universal Women’s Championship against Daniella Atlas. Vincent Mondrian wins Divide and Conquer. Sadly, Showdown fails in Brand Warfare and Wargames.)
(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 the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators start talking.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN! We come off of a crazy crazy Territorial Invasion, many twists and turns we have suffered in the show and we may not have swept everything, we come back with at least one win!
Gavin Kirkland: Everything ended up more like uh- a three way tie. But at least we got one win, hell yeah!
Deadprez: But now we look forward to heading straight into THE LAST STAND! And with tensions incredibly high all around, tonight will be a treat! We will see Matthew Kazama fight against Bridget Bridget, as well as Clayton Golde going up against Akari Kiyoko!
Eve: We will end up seeing Silas World in action and in the main event, after weeks of problems, fighting and what happened in Brand Warfare, Daryl Kinkade fights against Donovan Duke!
Gavin Kirkland: And to start… a deserved memorial for our Captain :mjcry
(The camera pans to the Tron as it shows a video that starts to play. It shows Joso and his various matches throughout his career, it then shows his time as King of Elite, World Heavyweight Champion, and Main Eventing Pain For Pride. It then has him on the Draft Show nodding when picked by Showdown, and he leading the team into War Games. A voice starts to play.)
Voice: Joso…. So young, energetic, the future of this business. A former World Heavyweight Champion, King of Elite, and Main Eventer at Pain For Pride. He has defeated some of the very best in this business and captained the War Games team for Showdown. He was brave, honorable and most importantly cared about his fellow teammates.
(The footage then shows Joso looking at the grenade before jumping on it to make sure that he saved Bea Valentine. Suddenly it explodes and Joso goes with it.)
Voice: It took such bravery to risk his own life and well-being to make sure that the rest of his team was okay. For that we salute you, Joso.
(The ten bell salute then starts.)
DING!
DING!
DING!
DING!
DING!
DING!
DING!
DING!
DING!
DING!
(The crowd cheers as a picture of Joso is shown on the Tron. A spotlight then shines on a coffin that sits on the stage, it has one of his t-shirts that you can buy at EAWShop.com laying over it.)
Voice: REST IN PISS!
(Suddenly the lights come on and we see Figura Prismatis standing there with their heads bowed down except for Caroline who has the mic.)
Deadprez: What the hell is this, Dawg?
Eve: I have no idea, but I had a feeling this was going to be some opportunist taking what happened to Joso for granted.
Gavin Kikrland: Anytime we are gifted with sexy goth, I am all-in for it!
(Caroline doesn’t look happy as she glares into the camera.)
Caroline: Oh? What did you think it was going to be? Kennedy Street coming out here and giving a eulogy? Did you think that he was going to get a hero’s welcome? No. Joso is the most overrated piece of shit that this company has ever pushed down the throats of this company and every single one of you sycophants have fallen for it!
(The crowd erupts in boos.)
Caroline: Did you really think that I was not the one that attacked Joso at Midsummer Massacre? That I didn’t spit in his face and would have continued to toy and play with him had he not played hero and jumped on a grenade!? I have said it before, and I will say it again that the entire attention has fallen on Silas World while we have been secretly preparing ourselves by constructing the foundation to be the cornerstones of this brand!
(A new side of Caroline is being seen, an angry, very aggressive one as she continues to speak while the trio is being rained with boos.)
Caroline: No, Jake didn’t win the Answers World Championship from that blonde whore, but that will soon be rectified! But as it comes to this, he ruined the game. He decided to jump on a grenade to save what? Bea Valentine? Impact? They still lost. What you have done Joso, is taken away my fun. And now I am left wondering what is next.
(A sinister little giggle escapes her lips.)
Caroline: I will tell you what is next. Since Joso ruined my fun, since he chose to be a hero, then I will ruin your fun Showdown. I will pick and choose my victims until I finally get what I want. And then wait patiently for your return Joso because I know that you cannot be gone too long from the spotlight. But I promise you this, when you do come back, this will be my wasteland and there is nothing that you can do about it.
(Caroline drops the mic as “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie starts to play throughout the arena. She looks over at Jake and Xander before she walks to the back and they follow her behind.)
Eve: I don’t know what this was all about, but we obviously know now that Caroline was the one that did indeed attack Joso a few months ago and lied to his face wen she was confronted by him.
Gavin Kirkland: well, I think she made this even more interesting, and while we don’t know when Joso is returning, one thing is for certain, she is going to be waiting for him when he does.
Deadprez: This was a sick and twisted display that doesn’t surprise me, and I don’t think that any of us are shocked at this young lady garnering some attention for herself, but we will see what comes out of this when Joso does return. We have a great show ahead; we will be right back.
(The final shot is of the coffin with Joso’s shirt on it before it cuts to a commercial break.)
(As if fades back from commercial break, “Bad Bitch” by Bebe Bitch starts up! Bridget Bridget bursts through the curtain first, phone already in hand, recording a selfie video as she walks, mouthing along to their entrance track and tossing her hair dramatically. Clayton Golde steps out next, wearing shades and a designer hoodie, pointing to the hard cam like it’s a livestream audience. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…ACCOMPANIED BY CLAYTON GOLDE REPRESENTING #HASHTAG…FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA WEIGHTING IN AT 114 POUNDS…BRIDGET BRIDGET!
( The arena lights dim, leaving only a single spotlight on the ramp. The opening notes of “Save You” by YUTA hit, and the crowd instantly perks up. A burst of pyrotechnics erupts at the stage as Matthew “Silver” Kazama steps out. He jogs down the ramp. Reaching the ring, he leaps onto the apron, springboards over the top rope, and lands with a crisp, smooth slide into the ring. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM NEW ORLEANS, LOUISANA! WEIGHTING IN AT 220 POUNDS…MATTHEW “SILVER” KAZAMA!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: The bell rings and Matthew Kazama comes out hot! Rushing across the ring with a FLYING KNEE STRIKE!
Eve: Bridget ducks underneath! Rolls through, pops up— SLAPS Matthew across the face!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s how you set the tone, baby! Show ’em who’s in control!
Deadprez: Bridget showboating early, turning to the crowd— wait a second! Kazama’s right behind her! ROLL-UP!
ONE!
TWO—
Eve: Bridget kicks out, and she looks furious!
Deadprez: Kazama smirking, giving a little shrug to the crowd. You can tell he’s having fun out there.
Gavin Kirkland: Not for long! You don’t embarrass Bridget Bridget and get away with it!
Eve: Both competitors back to their feet! Kazama with a CHOP! Another CHOP! You can hear those echoes all the way to the cheap seats!
Deadprez: He whips Bridget to the ropes! She reverses! Kazama springboards off the middle rope! FLYING FOREARM SMASH!
Eve: The impact nearly takes Bridget’s head off! Cover!
ONE!
TWO—
Deadprez: Bridget powers out again, but Matthew Kazama is on fire!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton Golde’s up on the apron! He’s just letting him know about a wardrobe malfunction! This is very important!
Eve: That’s ridiculous! Kazama trying to maintain his focus, Kazama got Bridget lined up with a springboard moonsault— NO! Bridget rolls away!
Deadprez: Kazama lands on his feet but Bridget sweeps the legs! INSIDE CRADLE!
ONE!
TWO!!
Eve: Kazama kicks out!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s strategy! She used the miss to her advantage!
Deadprez: Bridget with a running knee strike to the gut! She hooks the neck— SNAP DDT! Plants him!
Eve: That could be it!
ONE!
TWO!!
Deadprez: Kazama gets the shoulder up just in time!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh come on, ref, that was three and you know it!
Eve: Don’t even start, Gavin. Bridget is now taking control, grounding Kazama with a chinlock, talking trash while she’s got him down!
Deadprez: That’s her confidence shining through, but you can tell Kazama’s fighting through the pain. The crowd’s clapping, trying to get him back into it!
Eve: Kazama up to a knee! Elbow to the gut! Another! Breaks the hold, spins out— PELE KICK!
Deadprez: Right on the jaw! Bridget staggers!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton! Do something! She’s dazed!
Eve: Kazama hits the ropes! RUNNING DROPKICK! Bridget gets sent rolling out of the ring to regroup, right at Clayton’s feet!
Deadprez: Smart move from Bridget, buying herself some breathing room. But maybe not for long, here comes Kazama— SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE ROPES!
Eve: He wipes both Bridget and Clayton out! Kazuma is not going to let Bridget escape so easily!
Gavin Kirkland: No! You can’t do that to Clayton in that thousand-dollar shirt! I think Kazuma should pay some type of compensation!
Deadprez: Kazama pops back up, rallying the crowd, feeding off the energy! He tosses Bridget back inside!
Eve: He’s going up top! This could be the move that seals it! Lining her up for the Corkscrew Shooting Star Press looking to end this one as quickly as he can!
Gavin Kirkland: Bridget, get up! You’re too pretty to lose like this!
Deadprez: Kazama perched on the top rope! Gaining his balance and JUMPINGING INTO THE AIR— NO! Bridget gets her knees up! Now grabbing him going for a quick pin while he’s stunned!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR—
Eve: Kazama kicks out again!
Deadprez: These two young stars are going back and forth, each trying to prove they belong in that spotlight!
Gavin Kirkland: But Bridget’s smarter, Deadprez. She’ll always find that one opening!
Eve: I wouldn’t say all that but she is certainly finding more openings then Kazuma! She is also willing to do whatever as Bridget targets the eyes of Matthew.”
Deadprez: The ref’s warning her, she is trying to play innocent like we all didn’t just see her do it. I swear man— BUT KAZUMA TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH A ROLL UP!
Eve: Matthew rolls her up! Small package!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREEE—
Gavin Kirkland: Kick out! Kick out!
Deadprez: Bridget escapes again! Both competitors are back on their feet! Kazama with a spinning back kick!
Eve: Then followed up with a step-up enzuigiri! Bridget is down!
Deadprez: Kazama pointing to the top rope, he’s going to fly again! If it didn’t work the first time, just try it again! Kazuma walking back to the top rope— BUT CLAYTON IS UP AGAIN! DISTRACTING KAZUMA!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton yelling at Kazuma from the apron! I wonder if it’s anything important?
Eve: I don’t think it is because Kazama leaps off the top rope— DROPKICK TO CLAYTON GOLDE KICKING HIM OFF THE APRON WITH AMPLE FORCE!
Deadprez: The official looking at Clayton, concerned about the fall he just took— but here comes Bridget from behind! LOW BLOW TO KAZUMA!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S HOW YOU WIN MATCHES!
Eve: Come on! That’s disgusting!
Deadprez: Bridget dragging Kazama by the head, lining him up and going for the Backstabber— wait! Kazama quickly throws an elbow to the jaw!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s still alive! He’s still fighting! I don’t know how!
Deadprez: Kazama turns around and quickly lifts Bridget up and slams her down with a POWERBOMB!
Eve: What impact! The match could end right here!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s not done yet standing moonsault into the pinfall!
ONE!
TWO!!
Deadprez: NO! Bridget kicks out at two and a half!
Eve: Both of them are running on fumes, but neither is backing down!
Gavin Kirkland: This one’s still going! Both young stars are giving it everything they’ve got!
Eve: You can see the determination in Matthew Kazama’s eyes , he’s feeding off the energy of this crowd, trying to find that next gear!
Gavin Kirkland: Bridget’s gonna outsmart him, you’ll see. She’s too clever to let this kid finish her off easily!
Deadprez: Kazama drags Bridget up! Knife-edged chop! You can hear that echo! Another! Whips her into the corner! Kazama charges in— RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE!
Eve: He backs up RUNNING BULLDOG! Bridget eats the mat!
Gavin Kirkland: Kazama’s calling for it! He’s signaling for the Silver Diamond!
Eve: He’s got her hooked— WAIT! Bridget spins out of it! Grabs his arm— ARM DRAG INTO AN ARMBAR!
Deadprez: Beautiful counter! She’s wrenching on that arm!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s ring IQ, baby! The match isn’t about power! It’s all about knowing your opponent!
Eve: You can see Kazama grimacing in pain! Bridget’s twisting that elbow joint, making sure that if he does go for that Cyclone DDT again, he won’t be able to hook it properly!
Deadprez: Kazama STILL managing to roll through, stacks her shoulders!
ONE!
TWO—
Eve: Bridget releases the hold to kick out! But the damage may be done!
Deadprez: Kazama clutching that right arm now! Trying to shake off the pain.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, you can’t fly high with one wing!
Eve: Bridget sees that too, she’s right back on him! Kicks to the shoulder, stomps to the wrist!
Deadprez: She traps the arm and— DOUBLE KNEE DROP right into the elbow!
Eve: That’ll numb the entire arm! Bridget knows exactly what she is doing and she is loving every second of it! Bridget taunting the crowd!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s a champion in the making, right there. Showmanship, but not the good kind! The BEST kind!
Eve: Kazama tries to fight back, getting back to his feet, striking with a left-handed forearm strike! Another! But that right arm is limp!
Deadprez: Bridget cuts him off with a FLATLINER! Right into another transition— FUJIWARA ARMBAR!
Eve: Look at the torque! Kazama might have no choice but to tap out here!
Deadprez: The crowd is rallying! Chanting his name! Matthew inching his way to the ropes!
Bridget: Don’t you DARE! DON’T DO IT!
Eve: He’s almost there! Just a few more inches— AND HE GETS IT!
Referee: Break the hold!
Bridget: NO! NOOOO!
Deadprez: Bridget holds on until four, because of course she does! Just continuing to inflict as much pain on Kazuma as she can!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s called using the count! It’s not cheating if it’s within the rules!
Eve: Kazama’s holding that arm close, you can tell it’s compromised.
Deadprez: Bridget’s stalking him from behind, grabs him, and tries to lift— NO! Kazama with a back elbow! Using his good arm!
Eve: He’s fighting through the pain! SPIN KICK TO THE GUT! Then SUPERKICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Deadprez: Bridget stumbles back! Kazama off the ropes! JUMPING CLOTHESLINE!
Eve: He landed hard on that shoulder though! He’s feeling it!
Deadprez: He’s shaking it off! He’s trying again— setting up for the Silver Diamond!
Eve: He hooks the neck! Starts to spin— NO! Bridget pushes off mid-spin and rolls out under the ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: Smartest move of the match! You don’t stay in there when you know you’re caught!
Eve: Kazama’s frustrated but determined! He hits the ropes— TOPE CON HILO OVER THE TOP!
Deadprez: HE GOT HER! The crowd is on their feet!
Eve: But again, that landing didn’t do his arm any favors! hHe’s clutching it in agony!
Deadprez: He’s using his good arm to throw Bridget back into the ring! Slides in himself, he’s gonna try one more time!
Eve: Hooks her head, goes for the Silver Diamond again— BUT HIS ARM GIVES OUT!
Deadprez: He couldn’t complete the rotation! Bridget lands on her feet and CLUBS THE ARM!
Gavin Kirkland: Right back to the weak spot! Brilliant!
Eve: Bridget with more elbows and stomps to the arm! Completely abusing that weak spot! Kazama’s screaming in pain!
Deadprez: That could’ve popped the shoulder! I don’t think Kazuma was coming in, thinking that he was going to need medical attention after!
Gavin Kirkland: Bridget now mocking the crowd, pointing at her head like “I’m too smart for this guy.”
Deadprez: She’s lining him up— RUNNING KNEE TO THE SHOULDER!
Eve: She’s completely dissected him at this point. The tide has shifted drastically.
Gavin Kirkland: Bridget’s taunting him again, now grabs him and tries for her Backstabber!
Eve: Counter! Kazama flips around and catches her and goes for another Silver Diamond attempt again!
Deadprez: OOOOOH! He’s got her hooked but that arm is trembling— HE CAN’T HOLD ON!
Gavin Kirkland: Bridget slips out into a quick ROLL-UP!
ONE!
TWO!!
Deadprez: KAZAMA KICKS OUT!
Eve: These two are absolutely pushing each other to their limits! Bridget’s losing patience now, slaps Kazama across the face! That might’ve been a mistake! He’s starting to get fired up!
Gavin Kirkland: Left-handed shots! Kick to the gut! Bridget swings— MISSES! Kazama ducks under GRABS HER WITH A REVERSE DDT!
Eve: The crowd is going wild! Kazuma is managing to fight through his injured arm! Still taking the fight to Bridget!
Deadprez: Kazama’s crawling to the corner, holding that right arm, trying to will it back into function! He’s setting up for something big! Bridget’s slowly stirring, Kazama pulls himself up with his good arm! Could he finally hit the Silver Diamond on one arm?!
Gavin Kirkland: No way! She’s too smart for that!
Eve: He hooks her again and tries to spin— Bridget slips behind, hammerlocks the bad arm! BACKSTABBER TO THE INJURED ARM!
Deadprez: OH MY GOD! That was right into the shoulder blades!
Eve: Kazama’s rolling in agony, that arm could be dislocated!
Deadprez: Bridget crawling to the corner, smirking, shouting to the fans!
Bridget: It’s over! I WIN! I WIN!
Eve: The story of this match has changed completely! Kazama’s high-flying offense neutralized, all thanks to Bridget’s targeted precision! She’s closing in on the victory here but can Kazama find one last burst of heart to turn this around?
Gavin Kirkland: Bridget Bridget is circling like a shark that smells blood! Matthew Kazama can barely get to his feet, his right arm hanging lifelessly by his side!
Eve: She knows she’s one big shot away from closing this out!
Gavin Kirkland: This is it! Bridget’s measuring him! SUPERKICK INCOMING!
Deadprez: SHE GOES FOR IT—
Eve: NO! KAZAMA DUCKS! He sacrifices his arm and SWINGS THROUGH WITH A SLINGBLADE!
Deadprez: WHAT A COUNTER!
Eve: That took everything out of him though, he used the momentum from the good arm to twist her inside out!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s down! She’s down! This whole thing’s a wreck!
Deadprez: Both competitors laid out in the middle of the ring! Kazama’s clutching his shoulder, screaming in pain but looking at the fire in his eyes!
Eve: He knows he can’t hit the Silver Diamond, that arm’s done! He’s digging deep into his playbook now, heading up top!
Deadprez: The fans on their feet as Kazama climbs with one arm, using pure grit and willpower!
Eve: Bridget’s stirring, trying to crawl away but she’s in position— CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
Gavin Kirkland: HE HITS IT! MY GOD, HE GOT ALL OF IT! OH MY GOD! MATTHEW CRAWLING INTO THE COVER!
Eve: But wait! Clayton Golde is back! He’s on the apron, screaming at the referee!
Deadprez: The official is distracted, Kazama’s fuming, he gets up, wincing, and tries to grab the referee’s attention back— but here comes Bridget again!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s got that weighted purse in her hand! She’s swinging for the fences!
Deadprez: KAZAMA SIDESTEPS!
Eve: OH! She NAILS CLAYTON GOLDE! KNOCKING HIM OFF THE APRON ONCE AGAIN! THIS TIME HE IS OUT COLD!
Bridget: (off-mic) NOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOO!
Deadprez: The purse goes flying! Clayton collapses to the floor! Bridget turns around—
Eve: FALL FROM GRACE!
Deadprez: MATTHEW FINISHER CONNECTS! GOING FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: He’s done it! Matthew Kazama with a HARD-FOUGHT VICTORY!
Eve: What an absolute war! Kazama fought through a targeted arm, through interference, and through sheer pain and still came out on top!
Gavin Kirkland: This is an outrage! Clayton’s hurt, Bridget’s hurt! Somebody needs to file a complaint!
Deadprez: A complaint won’t change the result, Gavin! Matthew Kazama just proved why he’s one of the brightest rising stars in EAW!
Eve: A star-making performance from both, honestly. Bridget showed incredible ring IQ and cunning, but Kazama’s heart just couldn’t be denied tonight.
Deadprez: What a match! What a story! Ladies and gentlemen, your winner MATTHEW KAZAMA!
(Kazama clutches his injured arm, the referee raising his good one. The crowd gives him a standing ovation as Bridget and Clayton retreat up the ramp, furious. Kazama salutes the crowd from the top rope, grimacing in pain but smiling proudly as the show cuts to commercial.)
(The camera shot has returned to the ringside area after returning from a commercial break. There is silence going throughout the ringside area outside of a few members of the crowd talking due to the last match finally clearing out. Seconds later, the sounds of “‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies starts playing throughout the arena as the Universal Women’s Champion, Ms. Extreme enters the arena with a confident smile on her face as she gets a mixed, but more negative reaction from the crowd. She doesn’t care about the crowd’s reaction as she raises the title in the air with an almost arrogant level of confidence at the top of the ramp before she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: At this time, would you please welcome the EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! “THE PHOENIX QUEEN” MS. EXTREME!
Deadprez: Here comes Ms. Extreme to the ring and she is no doubt going to talk about what happened last week at Territorial Invasion as she enters Showdown still the Universal Women’s Champion.
Gavin Kirkland: She’s strong, she’s talented, she’s a champion, and she looks so good. Gosh I wish I was her arm candy! Her match with Daniella was the best match of the night in my opinion.
Eve: You are such a disgusting pervert, but that match was very hard hitting and one of the big high profile matches of the weekend. But Camille, as confident as she makes herself out to be, still holds the gold. Let’s hear what Ms. Extreme has to say about all of this.
(Ms. Extreme, with her confident swagger, grabs a microphone from Gina Romano before she enters the ring. She struts a little while raising the title in the air and that doesn’t win her any new fans as the crowd continues with their mixed reaction as her music fades off and she begins to speak.)
Ms. Extreme: Ladies and gentlemen! Ms. Extreme is in the house and Ms. Extreme is still YOUR Universal Women’s Champion!! I’ll stop for a brief moment so you can give me a round of applause.
(Some people in the crowd give her the applause, but the majority of them are loudly booing at Camille’s egocentric remark.)
Ms. Extreme: I honestly don’t see how any of you people can boo me. I am a legend. I am one of the best to ever be in the ring and AGAIN I am your Universal Women’s Champion! Show some respect.
(The crowd doesn’t feel the same way as they boo her even louder, but there are a few cheers mixed within all the negativity.)
Ms. Extreme: Now that was very rude. How in the world could you treat the woman who has reigned as the Universal Women’s Champion since all the way back at Pain for Pride. Since I won the title, I have taken on every challenge thrown my way and I have taken down both Bea Valentine and Daniella Atlas to keep this reign continuing.
Ms. Extreme: For many years, when you thought about the Universal Women’s Championship, you thought about Ms. Extreme because I took the title to a whole different level. Not only that, for the longest time, I had the record for the longest Universal Women’s Championship reign of all time before that stupid bitch Milli Banks stole that record from me.
(The crowd boos louder at Camille due to the horrible name she called Milli Banks, due to the fact that Milli is loved by the entire EAW fanbase. If there were any cheers before those remarks, they are completely gone now as the only reaction from the crowd are those boos.)
Ms. Extreme: Yeah yeah yeah. You all love Milli Banks for some reason, but you don’t have to tear my head off to prove your point. Anyways, what I am talking about has NOTHING to do with her, but EVERYTHING to do about ME! As it should be and as it will be because I am declaring right here and right now that I plan on reclaiming my throne and regaining the record for longest Universal Women’s Championship reign in history. Thank you very much!
(Camille holds the title up in the air again as she takes a small egocentric bow to the crowd and the crowd continues to boo. The crowd knows she’s talented, but she has reached the point of rubbing it in everybody’s faces.)
Ms. Extreme: Alright, that’s enough of that crap from you people. I wonder if you all know what true talent is unless it hits you in the face. That’s something for another day because I can’t just come out here and NOT talk about my most recent title defense at Territorial Invasion, could I? I mean I could stand out here and talk about how great I am, but there’s more important stuff at hand.
Ms. Extreme: Like Daniella Atlas. Dear sweet and foolish Daniella Atlas. She had such big hopes and big dreams about dethroning me and becoming the next Universal Women’s Champion. She tried so hard. She tried to throw me off my game in the weeks before the match to try to get some sort of psychological advantage.
Ms. Extreme: But don’t get me wrong. Daniella most certainly gave me a hell of a challenge at Territorial Invasion. She fought her pretty little heart out. She was a very tough challenger and really gave me a run for my money last week, but at the end of the day, she just wasn’t good enough to take the championship away from me. Sorry, Daniella, but I’m still the champ and it’s time for you to get to the back of the line.
Ms. Extreme: Speaking of lines of potential challengers, which I know exists because I have one of the most sought after titles in all of Elite Answers Wrestling, Showdown’s next event The Last Stand is coming up. I know. I am excited too.
Ms. Extreme: So being the dedicated champion that I am, I have decided to change things up a little bit and not have a formal Number One Contender. No, I am not going crazy.
Ms. Extreme: But what I am is extending the invitation to all the ladies of Elite Answers Wrestling. That’s right, people. I am issuing out an open challenge for any lady who decides that they have the guts to step in the ring with me.
(Camille turns and looks towards the entrance ramp as she raises her title in the air.)
Ms. Extreme: That’s right, ladies!!! Come on!! Who wants a shot at me? Step right up and accept the challenge.
(Camille starts leaning on the ropes, almost in a way to taunt whoever decides to accept her challenge.)
Ms. Extreme: Come on, ladies. There’s nothing to worry about. You have a golden opportunity to get a chance at becoming a World Champion. All you have to do is get into the ring and beat me!! It might be a very tall task, but it’s not impossible. Don’t let this chance simply go to waste!
(Camille once again looks up the entrance ramp and wonders if somebody will be brave enough to accept her challenge. After waiting a moment, she simply shrugs and walks back to the center of the ring.)
Ms. Extreme: Well what a fucking shock! Nobody was brave enough to come out here and accept my challenge for a title match. Here I am being extremely, no pun intended, generous and allowing ANYBODY to come get a title match and the only person still in the ring is me!
Ms. Extreme: Is anybody else shocked at this result? Because I sure as hell am not.
(Before Camille could fully finish, she is caught off guard by the crowd randomly cheering for some reason, leaving her confused.)
Ms. Extreme: Why in the hell are you all cheering? Did you all come to your fucking senses or something?
(Camille goes to turn around….)
Eve: “URAI’S CURSE”!
Gavin Kirkland: “URAI’S CURSE”?
Deadprez: CAMILLE JUST GOT KICKED IN THE FACE BY… KASAI!! IT’S KASAI FROM DYNASTY!! KASAI IS HERE AND SHE JUST KNOCKED OUT THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION WITH THAT ONE SKULL KICK!! HOLY SHIT!
(Camille was knocked unconscious after the “Urai’s Curse” kick as KASAI reaches down and grabs the microphone next to Camille.)
KASAI: Ms. Extreme… I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!
(KASAI tosses the microphone down to the sound of cheers as she stands over her before she looks down at the Universal Women’s Championship and just starts laughing.)
Eve: Ms. Extreme wanted an opponent for The Last Stand. Ms. Extreme issued an open challenge. Ms. Extreme got exactly what she wanted because KASAI has accepted.
Gavin Kirkland: Does it have to be her? This girl is just laughing maniacally as she stares at Camille’s title belt. KASAI might be crazy. She scares me.
Deadprez: A lot of women scare you, but what isn’t going to be scary is when Ms. Extreme and KASAI meet with the Universal Women’s Championship on the line. KASAI gave Camille a bloody nose from that kick, but when Ms. Extreme wakes up, she’s gonna be pissed!
(The final shot shows KASAI still standing over Camille still laughing and staring at the championship. We can now see blood dripping from Camille’s nose as the camera shot cuts elsewhere….)
(The camera cuts to ringside where Gina Romano is standing in the ring holding a microphone.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen at this time please welcome the Unified EAW World Tag Team Champions… Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts… FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND ICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
( ‘I2I’ by Magnolia Park hits as the crowd explodes into cheers. Red and blue fire and ice special effects are shown across the entire arena as the lights flash signalling the arrival of the champions.)
Eve: Well this was unexpected! I didn’t think we were going to have an appearance by the Tag Champs tonight!
Deadprez: This is Showdown Eve and you should expect the unexpected! Rex and Raven have arrived and they look like they mean business!
(Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts make their way to the ring with the championships which they show off for the crowd before being handed microphones.)
Gavin Kirkland: They say that you shouldn’t play with fire but I’d like to touch-
Eve: Gavin no!
Gavin Kirkland: What? I was going to say I’d like to touch those shiny championship belts! They look so nice!
Eve: I’m sure that is what you were going to say. :mjpls:
(The crowd eventually quiets down as Rex and Raven begin to address the audience in attendance this week within the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.)
Rex McAllister: At Territorial Invasion we did what we said we were going to do.
Raven Robert: We brough the win home for Dynasty in Brand Warfare! We did it for the Dy!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Eve: Clearly it was a bad idea to be on Showdown and brag about winning for Dynasty. This crowd has turned on them instantly!
Gavin Kirkland: SMH no loyalty…
Rex McAllister: Yes I am sure all of you are not happy about that but that is why we are here. We didn’t come to brag or rub it in the faces of the Showdown fans or their roster.
Raven Roberts: Well we might have come to brag just a little…
Rex McAllister: But in fact we are not finished with Showdown. Dynasty might have won but the way I see it the war is not over.
Raven Roberts: It sure isn’t. We have some unfinished business and Territorial Invasion only opened our eyes to our next objectives as Tag Team Champions.
Rex McAllister: At Territorial Invasion we came up against a real fine and tough tag team from right here on Showdown and we are ready for a fight with them. The way I see it the sooner we get this shit done the better.
Raven Roberts: Then we can move onto other things. But we don’t take any challenge lightly. But for a change maybe the champions need to come out here and lay down the challenge?
Rex McAllister: We are the most fightingest champions in all of EAW today which is why we are out here and we want to throw down with all the top tag teams and that includes Akari Kiyoko and Damien Kutcher.
Raven Roberts: We saw the performance that they put on at Territorial Invasion. Akari especially who almost went the whole distance for his team and brought home the W. I think a performance like that deserves to be rewarded don’t you all?
Crowd: YES! YES! YES!
Rex McAllister: Well let’s stop beating around the bush then. We are ready for a fight! We want your asses!
Raven Roberts: At House of Glass… Akari Kiyoko and Damien Sandow… SHOWTIME! WE CHALLENGE YOU FOR THESE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!
Crowd: PAJFOPJAS_$JAOPSFJASOPJPO$JPASOJ!P!JP!J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Holy shit that is a massive challenge! And it is coming from the champions no less!
Gavin Kirkland: Imagine if Showtime refused. That would be some real coward shit.
Deadprez: Somehow I don’t think that will be a proble-
(“24’s” by TI hits to massive cheers from the crowd as the arena begins shaking at its foundations from the hype that the arrival of Damien Kutcher and Akari Kiyoko has generated.)
Eve: Showtime has been one of the most impressive teams in recent memory and the fact that Akari Kiyoko almost brought the win home for Showdown in Brand Warfare was a career making performance for him. The crowd is absolutely insane here tonight and I think we have some real superstars on our hands.
Gavin Kirkland: I’m not seeing what is so impressive. I’d much rather look at Raven than either of them.
Eve: You mean her titles right?
Gavin Kirkland: Yes of course. But you must not look at them directly or you will go blind. They are very shiny after all. As Deadprez once said I GOTTA POP MY-
Eve: :francis:
Deadprez: I never said that… I think I speak for everyone when I say that this has match of the year potential written all over it. LETS GOOOOO!!!
(The music dies down as Akari Kiyoko and Damien Kutcher step into the ring.)
Raven Roberts: Now I got a beef with you after what you did to me at Territorial Invasion. Which is why we need to settle things between us for the title. I’ll ask again. What do you say?
Damien Kutcher: Oh I think you know already! WE ACCEPT!
Akari Kiyoko: Damn right we do!
Crowd: AOOPJFOS_)A$)AJF)JSA_)FJA_)U)$UA)$UA_)$UA)_JFOPAJSOPJ$R!!!!!!!!!
Eve: YES! LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Rex McAllister: Now that is what I like to hear. Now put it there good chums!
(Rex McAllister extends his hand however before they can shake Damien Kutcher decides to speak.)
Damien Kutcher: Before we get all sentimental I have one thing to get off my chest. Everyone is talking about the great career making performance that my partner and friend Akari Kiyoko had at Territorial Invasion. I am real proud of him.
Akari Kiyoko: Thank you Damien.
Damien Kutcher: However, I am telling everyone right now that if you accept this match, I am going to show you all that I can live up to that and more. At House of Glass, it will be MY career making performance just as much as it will be Akari’s because we will capture those Tag Team Titles and leave absolutely no doubt!
Akari Kiyoko: That is big facts on god.
(Damien Kutcher and Akari Kiyoko shake hands before extending their hands to Rex and Raven who accept the handshake.)
Eve: IT’S OFFICIAL! THE MATCH IS ONNNNNNNN!!!
Deadprez: OH IT IS SO FUCKING ON! WE ARE GOING TO SEE SHOWTIME BRING THOSE TAG TITLES HOME TO SHOWDOWN!!
Gavin Kirkland: And this means more appearances from Raven here on Showdown until House of Glass! WOOOHOOOO!!!!
Eve: Clearly everyone is happy about this and nobody moreso than the fans!
(The crowd is shown doing a wave around the arena out of sheer hype for this match as the champions raise their titles into the faces of their challengers. The camera then cuts to black.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring AI generated videos of former EAW Elitists making their returns to Showdown. Get hyped for Hades the Hellraiser vs. Devan Dubian in big 2025!)
(Showdown comes back from commercials, as then “Betty (Get Money)!” by Yung Gravy plays on the speakers to incredibly loud boos, Clayton Golde walks forward towards the stage with a gigantic grin on his face, flaunting the fancy jewelry that he had on himself all while Bridget rushed forward right behind him, lifting up the phone that she had on her and livestreaming their entrance towards her followers all while Clayton walked forward, posing and flaunting at the crowd.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION IN ROMANIA, WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS, HE IS THE “GOLDEN GOD”, CLAYTOOOOOONNNNNN GOOOOOOOLLLLDEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at the Golde God moving right now! He is absolutely beaming with joy! And how could he not be? He brought victory to Showdown at Divide and Conquer!
Eve: Uh… it was only Vincent, Gavin. Only one person can win that match at the end.
Gavin Kirkland: But it is like a team victory overall! So they have all the grounds to celebrate! Truly!
Deadprez: Well, let’s hope that the good attitude can carry him to truly give it his all against his opponent tonight!
(Clayton is able to take off the jewelry after and then enter the ring, as Bridget is able to catch most of it, and lets some of it slip by accident as she tries to turn off the stream. As then, “chAngE” by miwa plays on the speakers to a huge wave of cheers, Akari Kiyoko walks forward onto the stage, flanked by Damien Kutcher and Luna Adeline by his side, the two of them hype him and back him up as Akari looks forward with a focused expression on his face- before then finally going forward, ready to battle!)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT, FROM AOMORI, JAPAN, WEIGHING IN AT 216 POUNDS, HE IS “THE NEW HEART OF SHOWDOWN”, AKARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII KIIIIIIYOOOOOOOOOOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Eve: Akari had a tremendous performance at Brand Warfare last week, he and Team Showdown may not have won due to various conflicts happening all around but he for sure captivated the hearts of many people-
Gavin Kirkland: PEACH BABY!!!
Eve: …Including Gavin’s.
Deadprez: But now he and his partner are looking to win the Unified Tag Team Championships, and Akari is looking to get momentum for that battle tonight as he faces Clayton Golde!
(Akari arrives at the ring as well and enters inside, moving to take his corner and wait there patiently. The referee looks towards the two opponents before…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND WE ARE OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!
Deadprez: Akari barely wastes any time here, he tries to rush forward towards Clayton here and then plans to kick him right in his head! But Clayton is able to quickly scurry away and avoid being hit by Akari! Akari has already had the chance to fight Clayton many times before, and he knows what kind of wrestler he is to fight, he knows he can’t let him run away or try to provoke him.
Eve: He is very good at that kind of thing though! And Akari has to take him down as quickly as possible! Akari moves to go down for his legs and maybe knock him off balance but Clayton ends up hopping over and continuing to run away! Further trying to widen the distance between Akari and him!
Deadprez: It even reaches a point where Clayton is able to slip through and go through the ropes here! He moves quickly to try and run around here in the ring- AS DAMIEN ENDS UP CUTTING OFF CLAYTON HERE! Damien helping out his partner here!
Gavin Kirkland: BRIDGET ENDS UP JUMPING HERE ONTO DAMIEN’S BACK AND TRIES TO PULL HIM AWAY TO GIVE CLAYTON THE CHANCE TO ESCAPE! Damien struggles here as Bridget holds on hard onto him, Luna Adeline tries to help Damien as well but that gives Clayton the chance to keep running!
Eve: FOSBURY FLOP OUT OF NOWHERE! AKARI SNIPES CLAYTON DOWN ONTO THE GROUND ONCE HE LEAST EXPECTED IT! The match just started and pandemonium is already going down here! Damien and Bridget end up spilling over the barricade here and begin brawling across the crowd! Luna tries to figure out if she stays to help Akari or goes to help Damien, but it seems she decides to stay to back up Akari with Clayton here!
Deadprez: Akari grabs onto Clayton and throws him inside of the ring, hopping onto the ring apron and moving through! Trying to gather speed here and get momentum! HE WANTS TO END IT ALREADY WITH A-
Eve: CLAYTON POPS UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND HITS AKARI RIGHT ON THE FACE WITH A BIG BOOT! Clayton backs away slightly, trying to get his focus back after getting hit with that Fosbury Flop!
Gavin Kirkland: MY PEACH BABY DOES NOT GO DOWN! He falls against the ropes here and yet again gathers momentum- A FLYING FOREARM SMASH TAKES CLAYTON DOWN ONTO THE MAT! THERE WE GO!
Eve: CLAYTON GETS HIT RIGHT IN THE JAW AND AKARI MOVES TO TRY AND CAPITALIZE HERE! Quick cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: It doesn’t get anything at all! Clayton is able to kick out right in time before Akari can get the three count! But he was able to stop Clayton from continuing to run away and he has him cornered here in the ring! All while Bridget is out there fighting against Damien and Luna has stayed to back up Akari!
Eve: That has pushed the balance of the match to Akari at the start here! Akari moves over towards the ropes here and then gets momentum, moving quickly trying to get a rising Clayton right on the face with a knee- AS CLAYTON SUDDENLY GOES DOWN AND ENDS UP DROPKICKING HARD AKARI’S KNEE HERE!
Deadprez: Akari goes down! He saw an opportunity to capitalize but Clayton was the one who got to it first! Clayton throws kisses towards a side of the crowd with ladies on it, and they all understandably crunch up their faces in disgust.
Gavin Kirkland: Hey, don’t diss the Golde God himself! Listening to his podcasts has given me a new perspective when it comes to how to go at women and listening towards their problems… and their tactics just ended up getting me slapped in the face 20 times per week compared to the usual 7 so you know, it isn’t working so far, but I appreciate that he is using a platform for that kind of thing!
Eve: If I could roll my eyes to see the back of my head, I would. Clayton moves and tries to capitalize on taking Akari down- stomping on the back of his leg over and over! Before trying to pull it up, and then moving Akari here-
Deadprez: AKARI ENDS UP STOMPING ON CLAYTON’S KNEE INSTEAD WITH HIS FREE LEG! Clayton ends up letting go here from the pain, Akari on the counterattack, he uses both of his feet to push him away! Clayton falls against the ropes here and bounces off them, JUST AS AKARI KIPS UP!
Eve: AND TRIES TO HOIST HIM UP HERE FOR THE ROLLING DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!
Gavin Kirkland: My Peach Baby can’t get it quite right though! Clayton is able to struggle in his shoulders and stop him in his tracks! He is even able to slip right behind him and then push him towards the ropes here! As Akari bounces right into Clayton’s grasp-
Eve: AND SMASHES HIS FACE DOWN HARD WITH AN APRON FACE SLAM! Clayton is now trying to hype up the crowd and get them to cheer him but they just boo heavily at him instead! He definitely wants to use all the time that he has to show off.
Deadprez: He does this everytime, I am not shocked anymore. Neither is Akari, as he rises up yet again in defiance, looking to find- CLAYTON JUST STOMPS ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! And now he starts raining down stomp after stomp onto Akari, trying to keep him down and preventing him from further getting up!
Eve: The boos just keep coming for Clayton as he keeps his foot down on Akari’s neck and he flexes his arm towards those ladies from before, who are still looking very disgusted, and it is starting to give me the ick as well at this point.
Gavin Kirkland: He finally gets off of Akari and he starts making his way towards the corner of the ring. He’s actually giving Akari some room here, what a nice gentleman!
Deadprez: Room so he can get up to hurt him, obviously. As Clayton rests against the corner and he taunts Akari here, what is he- Oh, don’t tell me that he actually plans to do this!
Eve: He is waiting for Akari to get up! And he is planning to use his own move against him already?! Clayton not willing to show any mercy towards Akari, and he is going to make sure that he puts salt in the wound in the process!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the Golde God! AS HE RUNS FORWARD TO TRY AND HIT AKARI RIGHT IN THE HEAD WITH THE “PEACH DREAM!!!” CAN MY PEACH BABY DODGE?!
Eve: NO! BUT HE IS ABLE TO HIT CLAYTON INSTEAD WITH A HUGE SPINNING HEEL KICK! Clayton looks wobbly after getting hit right in the head and he stumbles backwards onto Akari’s grasp! Akari grabs him from behind! BEFORE HE GOES FOR A RIPCORD-
Deadprez: ENZUIGIRI! THE ENZUIGIRI IS ABLE TO HIT CLAYTON RIGHT IN THE FACE! And this loud ass influencer falls down hard against the ground! Akari isn’t able to capitalize yet though as he actually takes the strategy to let that knee heal first before continuing in the offense!
Eve: That actually gives Clayton the chance to roll away slightly, when he has the advantage he ends up playing with his opponent, and once he loses it, he ends up resorting to running away! Gosh, how frustrating it would be having to fight against someone like him!
Gavin Kirkland: It might seem frustrating to you, Eve! I see it as a master genius at work, but the fact that my peach baby is keeping up with that kind of plan and finding ways to counterattack against it shows how talented he truly is!
Deadprez: Damn, I never expected Gavin of all people would end up giving another compliment to another wrestler in that ring without the motivation to get in bed with them.
Gavin Kirkland: Alright, it is not like that either! I just really love women… and Limmy Monaghan.
Eve: Whole… some??? I don’t know man. But Clayton being able to get to the corner is not the advantage that Clayton thinks it is, because Akari is already up! He starts running towards him without holding back! HE JUMPS FORWARD! HE HITS AN EUROPEAN UPPERCUT RIGHT ACROSS CLAYTON’S HEAD! Clayton looks loopy after that one as Akari kicks his feet under him and forces into a sitting position!
Deadprez: Akari is feeling himself! He runs towards the opposite corner yet again! Before coming back to where Clayton is- AND THEN HITTING A HUGE LOW CORNER DROPKICK! RIGHT AGAINST CLAYTON’S JAW!
Eve: That did not sound good at all for Clayton right there! Akari is able to pull him off the corner and then lay him out on the mat, all while he starts climbing up the corner here and he looks to fly right now!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee is actually checking on Clayton right now to make sure that he didn’t get knocked out from that dropkick.
Deadprez: Akari with no care for his opponent though, very deserved knowing Clayton! And he turns, rising up to his feet in the corner… AS HE LOOKS TO JUMP! HE TRIES TO GO FOR A SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: HUH?! BRIDGET JUMPS ONTO THE RING APRON AND SHE PUSHES AKARI OFF THE CORNER, AS AKARI CRASHES HARD AGAINST THE RING APRON AND FALLS ONTO THE GROUND! How did she get back to the ring?!
Deadprez: It seems she was able to get the upperhand over Damien somehow and was able to escape to be able to shift the balance back towards Clayton here!
Eve: BUT BRIDGET DOES NOT GO UNPUNISHED! LUNA ENDS UP TAKING BRIDGET OFF THE RING APRON AND THEN SHE STARTS THROWING HER TOWARDS THE BARRICADE AND THEN TACKLES HER TO THE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING! YES!!!
Deadprez: Luna doing everything that she can to help Akari here! The two are going all out right now! But Akari was the one who ended up taking the hard tumble here! Clayton can easily capitalize on the weakened Akari here!
Eve: And you are damn sure of that! Because he is already moving and going towards Akari! HE THROWS HIM TOWARDS THE STEEL STEPS SHOULDER FIRST! He is not wasting time!
Deadprez: Akari was damn near close to doing some huge damage there, but once more he has to find a way to break through Clayton’s defenses! Clayton throws him back inside and he follows through- Akari tries to get up- BUT CLAYTON OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A FAMOUSER! BRINGS AKARI’S HEAD DOWN HARD ONTO THE MAT!
Eve: And once more he is beginning to taunt, grabbing hard onto Akari’s head and just forcing him to eat the mat, pushing his head down and throwing it from left to right!
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t ruin the face of my peach baby, Clayton! We can’t do that now!
Eve: Clayton finally brings Akari up! BULLDOG BRINGS HIS HEAD DOWN! Yet again he lifts Akari- and he brings his elbow down onto his head! Elbow after elbow after elbow! Further hurting Akari in the process and wearing him down! Clayton once more taunts the crowd!
Deadprez: And now he just- STARTS HIP TOSSING AKARI HARD ONTO THE MAT! Holding onto that arm of his as Clayton continues to pose to the people- WITH A SECOND HIP TOSS TO THE GROUND! Clayton beginning to shout to the crowd some very rehearsed ad reads, before finally-
Gavin Kirkland: BAM! “THE 304!!!” THE HIP TOSS RIGHT ONTO THE CORNER JUST LIKE THAT! Clayton definitely thinks he has it won after that, as he smiles brightly towards the camera in front of him and then he covers Akari.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEE-
Eve: AND IT WON’T BE ENOUGH JUST YET! AS AKARI IS ABLE TO KICK OUT WITH EMOTION! He won’t stay down like that!
Deadprez: Ooohh, look at the face now on Clayton! That overconfidence has quickly turned into anger now as Akari ended up showing up! What are you gonna do about that, huh?!
Gavin Kirkland: It seems that he is going to go the extra step, Deadprez! He grabs Akari by his hair and pulls him up, moving over towards the corner- READY TO SMASH HIS FACE INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: AS AKARI PUTS A FOOT FORWARD AND THEN HE STOPS CLAYTON FROM SLAMMING HIS HEAD DOWN! The crowd are cheering once more and behind Akari, as his head slowly rises up and he shoots daggers directly at Clayton here.
Deadprez: AKARI THEN GIVES IT HIS ALL! HE THROWS A PUNCH DIRECTLY ONTO CLAYTON’S JAW! And now he starts throwing a flurry of strikes right at him, left and right all around, trying to disorient his opponent in every way!
Gavin Kirkland: He is trying to dodge and weave and throw some jabs but Akari is not letting Clayton throw another punch to stop him! HE EVEN SWITCHES TO HIS LEGS TO ATTACK! LOOK AT MY PEACH BABY GO!
Eve: And now Akari has Clayton against the ropes! KICK AFTER KICK TOWARDS THE MIDSECTION OF CLAYTON! Each hit further hyping up the crowd as Akari keeps his stance against Clayton, keeps the pressure on him and does not let go a single bit! Akari turns and then he goes towards the other ropes, pushing for momentum!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THE GOLDE GOD PUSHES THROUGH THE PAIN HIMSELF! HE THROWS HIMSELF AT AKARI AND TRIES TO HIT HIM DOWN WITH THE STUN GUN!!!
Deadprez: BUT AKARI IS ABLE TO CATCH HIS WAIST BEFORE HE CAN BRING HIM DOWN! AKARI TRIES TO HIT CLAYTON DOWN NOW WITH “HEAVY ON MY HEART!!!”
Eve: CLAYTON IS ABLE TO LET GO AND THEN SEND A SHARP ELBOW RIGHT BETWEEN AKARI’S EYES! Akari ends up letting go and now that gives Clayton the chance to grab him from behind! The schoolboy roll-up!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THR-
Gavin Kirkland: MY PEACH BABY ISN’T GETTING TAKEN OUT LIKE THAT EITHER! HE KICKS OUT RIGHT AT THREE JUST BEFORE CLAYTON CAN STEAL IT!
Eve: AND CLAYTON IS ALREADY PLANNING TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO END IT! HE JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE AND THEN HE FLIES OFF! “THE BRAND DEAL!!!”
Deadprez: IS CUT IN HALF AS AKARI HITS CLAYTON OFF THE SKY BEFORE HE CAN DELIVER THE SPRINGBOARD STUNNER! WITH A HUGE ROUNDHOUSE KICK RIGHT AGAINST HIS BACK!
Eve: Akari is able to put Clayton down on the mat and now he starts moving towards the corner right next to him! He is going to yet again attempt another move from the top rope! He wants to end this match this way and he is going to look for it no matter what!
Deadprez: THE PEOPLE ALL AROUND THEM ARE UP TO THEIR FEET… AS AKARI JUMPS OFF THE CORNER! SPINNING AROUND IN THE AIR TO GO FOR A CORKSCREW SENTON!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE GOLDE GOD PUTS UP HIS KNEES UP RIGHT BEFORE AKARI CAN HIT THE MOVE! AND CLAYTON IS ABLE TO GRAB HIS ARMS AND PULL HIM DOWN INTO A QUICK CRUCIFIX ROLL-UP! THIS MIGHT BE IT!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: BUT ONCE MORE AKARI IS ABLE TO KICK OUT IN DEFIANCE! HE DOES NOT GIVE UP JUST YET! He is not able to get up faster though, as Clayton is able to grab onto his arm and once more begins to stomp Akari’s head, over and over and over again! Not willing to let Akari get up!
Eve: BUT WITH EACH STOMP, IT JUST GIVES AKARI MORE ENERGY IN RESPONSE! He only continues to get further and further up, until he is up towards his feet, and he shoots a death glare directly at Clayton! AS HE HITS HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH A SHORT-ARM ROLLING ELBOW!
Deadprez: BANG! CLAYTON FALLS RIGHT ONTO THE MAT AND NOW AKARI GRABS HIM BY HIS HAIR- HE STARTS HITTING HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THOSE KAWADA KICKS! A FLURRY BEING SENT RIGHT AT CLAYTON AS HE CAN BARELY DEFEND AGAINST THEM!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari gives one last kick towards the dome here! And then he pulls Clayton up towards his feet before yet again Akari turns towards the ropes! Ready to follow up with the combo, as he runs at them and bounces off- YET AGAIN TRYING TO HIT CLAYTON DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THAT FLYING FOREARM SMASH!
Eve: WHAT?! CLAYTON GETS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND AKARI ENDS UP HITTING THE REFEREE DOWN BY ACCIDENT! THAT IS NOT GOOD AT ALL!
Deadprez: OVER AT RINGSIDE! Luna is laid out in the ground next to the steel steps! All while Bridget is rushing quickly to grab one of the chairs and then sliding it towards Clayton here! Clayton moves quickly to grab onto it! Akari needs to find a way to avoid this!
Eve: BUT HERE COMES THE CAVALRY AT THE LAST SECOND! DAMIEN KUTCHER COMES BACK AND HE KNEES BRIDGET RIGHT ON THE FACE WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE! DAMIEN WAS NOT LETTING HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER FIGHT THIS ALONE!
Deadprez: Clayton is already lining up Akari to swing the chair here! HE RAISES IT UP!
Eve: DAMIEN HOPS ONTO THE APRON AND THEN TAKES THE CHAIR RIGHT OFF OF CLAYTON’S HANDS! Clayton turns over in pure confusion and anger after seeing that, but Damien is able to hop off the apron in time and avoid Clayton grabbing onto him!
Deadprez: YOU BETTER TURN AROUND, BIG GUY!
Gavin Kirkland: CLAYTON TURNS BACK AROUND TO TRY AND-
Eve: THE “PEACH DREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM!!!”
Deadprez: LIGHTS OUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Akari hits that kick right in the middle of Clayton’s face as well and he falls onto him!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee finally pushes through the pain and he moves to count the pin!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“chAngE” plays on the speakers to loud cheers as Akari slowly rolls off of Clayton, raising up his arm towards the sky in victory, he once more succeeded. Damien rolls back inside and then he ends up hugging his tag partner, lifting him up here to his feet and raising his hand in response.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AKARIIIII KIYOKOOOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MY PEACH BABY DID IT!!!
Eve: What a wild ride that was! Many many times Clayton tried to take the easy way out to beat Akari but Akari persevered and found ways to keep hitting Clayton down over and over!
Deadprez: And when they tried to put the cards against him, his friends arrived to save him when he needed to and he finished it all off by himself! That right there shows they are ready for the tag team champs and are willing to get those tag titles on themselves no matter what!
(Damien and Akari quickly roll out after, moving to help Luna up to her feet after getting hit like that, and grab onto her to help her out of there, but the three are able to stand and celebrate together as they leave.)
(Bridget rolls back inside, moving to check up on Clayton but Clayton does not turn to look at her and leaves out of the ring without her, simply going up the ramp and leaving abruptly, all while Bridget looks at him with a confused and worried look, wondering what happened. Showdown fades away to commercials.)
(The camera shot has returned to the ringside area after returning from a commercial break. There is silence going throughout the ringside area outside of a few members of the crowd talking due to the last match finally clearing out. Seconds later, the sounds of “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande starts playing throughout the arena as the crowd gets loud and goes absolutely wild when the Answers World Champion, Veena Adams enters the arena with a confident smile on her face. She raises the title in the air at the top of the ramp before she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: At this time, please welcome to the ring… THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! “THE GOLDEN STAR” VEENA ADAMS!
Deadprez: Here comes Veena Adams to a loud ovation from the crowd. She was battle tested last weekend and once again persevered and was able to retain her title against a tough challenger in Jake Smith.
Gavin Kirkland: It did suck seeing Jake lose because that would have been great to see, but I love how beautiful and confident Veena looks with the title. She is so proud to be representing Showdown as the Answers World Champion.
Eve: Veena fought through a lot of underhanded tactics to retain her title, but she showed that she can fight and triumph over anything put in her path. She is as confident as can be as she comes to the ring. Let’s hear what the champ has to say.
(Veena has the title on her shoulder as she walks by and grabs a microphone from Gina Romano before she enters the ring. She stands on the ropes and once again raises her title in the air to the sounds of the cheering crowd before she jumps down and stands front and center in the ring. She soaks in the crowd’s reaction until her entrance music fades off and she brings the microphone up to speak.)
Veena Adams: I can not tell you all how good it feels to know that another Uggo Midget with a bad attitude has fallen by the wayside thanks to me. Veena Adams. STILL your Answers World Champion!
(Veena holds up the title again with more confidence and swagger this time as the crowd once again shows their appreciation for Veena and her success.)
Veena Adams: I am so proud of what I was able to do last week at Territorial Invasion when I defeated Jake Smith, an uggo who is a former Answers World Champion and an EAW Hall of Famer. It also felt like a damn handicap match at times with all the crap that was going on in the match. Even with them trying their hardest to stack the odds against me, I still came out victorious with the beautiful title still around my waist… and around my waist it will stay.
Veena Adams: Don’t get me wrong. I know that the road towards the very top is a very tough and challenging one and I also know that the challenges that will be in my way are only going to get more difficult from here on out.
Veena Adams: And that’s fine with me. Because I am the type of competitor that will absolutely do whatever it takes to get to the very top and that means I have to be ready at all times for the next challenge. Being the Answers World Champion means I am also ready to accept the next challenge. Anybody’s challenge, so if you want a chance at glory. If you want a chance to be the top star on Showdown. If you want a shot at the Answers World Championship… STEP! RIGHT! UP!
(Veena adjusts the Answers World Championship on her shoulder as she looks up the entrance ramp to see if anybody is willing to accept her challenge. She keeps watching for a few moments before she turns back to the crowd to say something. Before she can speak, the sounds of ‘Living Dead Girl’ by Rob Zombie starts playing throughout the arena. Veena looks up the entrance ramp and watches Caroline enter the arena. The crowd is booing Caroline as she has an almost demonic look on her face as she heads to the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Ask and you shall receive. Not only will we have one beautiful girl in the ring. We are gonna have two as Caroline is now here! WOOHOOO!!
Eve: You ruined it. Here comes Caroline and Caroline certainly played an integral part in Jake’s strategy to win the Answers World Championship. She interfered in the match and almost got Jake the title, but she was also the reason that Jake lost the match.
Deadprez: Caroline went for that dangerous mist, but hit Jake instead which led to Jake losing the match. Now she is out here after Veena issued the challenge and is Caroline going to accept. I guess we’re about to find out.
(Caroline slinks over to the timekeeper table and grabs a microphone from Gina before she gets in the ring and gets face to face with Veena as her entrance music fades off. Veena can’t help the surprised look still on her face as Caroline starts to speak.)
Caroline: If it’s a ch-
(Before Caroline even gets a chance to speak, she is quickly cut off by Veena.)
Veena Adams: Now hold on a second. First of all, I am not going to apologize for cutting you off because don’t you think that I didn’t forget about the pipe to my ankle or when you tried to use that black mist to try and blind me.
Veena Adams: Because I am going to tell you right now that if you are out here just to pull that crap again that I am going to be putting you on your ass so fast that you will be the same height as your uggo boyfriend. Is that clear?
(Caroline is still glaring at Veena after being rudely cut off by her. Caroline doesn’t take her glare off of Veena as she gives a small nod. She doesn’t appreciate the treatment, but isn’t in the mood to pick a fight right now.)
Caroline: What I was going to tell you was that I believe that Jake Smith deserves a rematch against you for the Answers World Championship. It’s the least you could do.
(Veena looked at Caroline for a moment before she couldn’t help the small bit of laughter that came out, which only served to get Caroline even more annoyed.)
Veena Adams: Man, I really thought that was a joke for a moment before I remembered that you weren’t funny and had no sense of humor. You’re serious, aren’t you?
Caroline: I am absolutely serious.
Veena Adams: Well when you put it that way… NO!
Caroline: No?
Veena Adams: Yes. No. He had his chance and he failed so his uggo ass can get to the back of the line. But if you would like a shot at the Answers World Championship, then by all means.
(Caroline thinks about it for a moment before a smirk appears on her face and she answers Veena.)
Caroline: Well… I would certainly like a title shot. But… I think there might be somebody else that is looking for a title shot as well.
(Veena looks confused at Caroline for a moment before she gets attacked from behind.)
Eve: WHAT THE HELL? VEENA WAS FOCUSED ON CAROLINE AND THEN SHE WAS JUST ATTACKED FROM BEHIND…
Gavin Kirkland: BY XANDER PAYNE! CAROLINE’S FIGURA PRISMATIS TEAMMATE! HE IS IN THE RING AND HE IS BEATING THE HELL OUT OF THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!
Deadprez: CAROLINE BACKS AWAY TO NOT GET HER HANDS DIRTY FOR ONCE AS XANDER PUTS A BEATDOWN ON VEENA! NOW HE BRINGS VEENA BACK TO HER FEET AND TOSSES HER TO THE ROPES–
Gavin Kirkland: Veena rebounds AND XANDER LIFTS HER UP FOR THE “LAST SEDATION” POP UP POWERBOMB JUST DROVE OUR BEAUTIFUL CHAMP INTO THE MAT!!
(Veena is not moving after the beatdown from Xander as he picks up the microphone on the mat and leans down to Veena.)
Xander Payne: I will see you at The Last Stand.
(Xander tosses down the microphone on Veena as the crowd boos. Xander and Caroline leave the ring and head up the entrance ramp.)
Eve: Veena issued out a challenge and a challenge she certainly has now with Xander Payne stepping up to the plate for a shot at the Answers World Championship. Oh great! Look who’s at the top of the ramp.
(Xander and Caroline reach the top of the entrance ramp and Jake Smith is at the top of the entrance ramp and the crowd boos even louder.)
Deadprez: We shouldn’t be surprised that Jake is here. Where one member of Figura Prismatis is, the others are not far behind as they are proud of Xander taking out the World Cham–
???: WAIT JUST A DAMN SECOND!!
(The trio at the top of the ramp were leaving, but they turned around and saw Veena. She is pissed off and we can hear her breaths in the microphone as she is still feeling the effects of the attack. Veena is pissed that she still has to deal with this group. She thought she was done with them. Veena is glaring up the entrance ramp as she brings the microphone up one more time…)
Veena Adams: … I ACCEPT!!
(Veena tosses the microphone down and glares up the entrance ramp as the crowd cheers for the future match.)
Eve: VEENA ACCEPTED!! Veena accepted the challenge and now we have Veena Adams defending the Answers World Championship against Xander Payne.
Deadprez: Figura Prismatis were going to go away quietly. Jake couldn’t get it done, so now Xander gets his chance. But from what we have seen, it’s going to be a fight.
(The final shot shows Figura Prismatis amused at Veena accepting Xander’s challenge before cutting to Veena who holds her back as she still looks up the entrance ramp with a pissed off look on her face as the camera shot cuts elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to ringside where three local competitors are shown in the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… from CLEVELAND, OHIO…
Crowd: AJPOSJFpoASJFOPASJFOPAJSFPOAJS_S)JASOFJASPFSA
Gina Romano: The team of John Smith, Mohammed Al-Ali, and Jose Garcia!!!
Eve: Damn these are very memorable wrestler who I am sure will have a great career.
Gavin Kirkland: Do you think they are all related to each other? They are all from Cleveland after all…
Deadprez: Somehow I doubt that. But I mean you never know. I don’t know anything about them.
Eve: They have a big match ahead of them tonight as-
( ‘Another World’ by Gojira hits to loud boos from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: And their opponents… representing SILAS WORLD… They are the tag team of the EAW National Elite Champion Harper Lee, Brianna Hill, and Pandora Paisley!!!
(The crowd boos extremely loudly as Silas Mason appears on stage and leads his talent down to the ring. Harper Lee shows off her championship on the ropes as Brianna and Pandora circle the ring like tigers ready to strike their fearful opponents.)
Eve: It was at this point that John, Mohammed, and Jose knew that they fucked up.
Gavin Kirkland: Seriously. Why would anyone volunteer to have a match with Silas World? They must be desperate for cash.
Deadprez: Well I respect their bravery but this might turn out to be one of the worst decisions in the young careers of these wrestlers.
(Suddenly Silas World rushes the ring from all sides as all three of them rush into the ring and begin beating the hell out of their opponents!)
Eve: Brianna Hill just dropped John Smith with a Tombstone Piledriver!!! Harper Lee just dropped Jose Garcia with a Burning Hammer! Pandora Paisley just hit a chair shot across the skull of Mohammed Al-Ali!
Gavin Kirkland: I respect that you remembered all their names correctly.
Deadprez: The referee is trying to restore order. The chair has been taken away from Pandora which is good. But Mohammed has been busted wide open! I honestly think that this match should be called off!
Eve: Well I think that the referee is going to do exactly that. It looks like he is going and calling for the timekeeper.
Referee: (off-mic) This match is going to be declared a no contest. Things have gotten way too out of hand!!
Silas Mason: (off-mic) Excuse me. What are you talking about? This match must continue as planned! I have the contract right here these three have agreed to fight Silas World!
Referee: (off-mic) You can’t actually expect them to continue to wrestle under these conditions.
Silas Mason: (off-mic) I don’t just expect it… I DEMAND IT! Unless you would like to be personally responsible for the lawsuit I file against Elite Answers Wrestling for violating the iron clad terms of this contract…
Referee: (off-mic) Look bro I don’t get paid enough for this shit. This is actually more of a part time gig for me. I really don’t give a shit.
Silas Mason: (off-mic) My man! Then ring the bell and let’s get this underway! I respect your dedication to fairness and expect you shall call this bout right down the middle.
Referee: (off-mic) I mean I could call the match right down the middle… Or if you gave me a little motivation I could maybe be a little more inspired to call this match “the way it should be called” if you catch my meaning.
Silas Mason: (off-mic) I do catch your meaning. Unfortunately, it won’t be necessary. Just call it down the middle.
Referee: (off-mic) Damn. I was hoping for a lil bonus tonight. Oh well..
(Silas Mason walks away as the referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Well this farce of a match is underway as it looks like Brianna Hill is starting things off in the ring against Jose Garcia who is barely even standing after being dropped with a Burning Hammer of all moves. Jose just ran up on Brianna out of nowhere and went for a Spinning Headscissors! Jose is flipping around Brianna wildly! But Brianna caught him and slammed him down hard face first! Brianna connects with the HITS DIFFERENT!!! Jose just fell face first to the mat and he is not moving. Brianna to the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: –
Deadprez: AWWW WHAT THE HELL?!?
Eve: Brianna Hill just pulled the shoulder of her opponent back up! And she is laughing maniacally! What a sick piece of shit!!! Brianna picks her opponent up and hurls him over to his partners in the corner before walking over to Silas World.
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Brianna Hill just tagged in the National Elite Champion Harper Lee! Harper just entered the ring as John Smith just tagged himself into the ring. John walks up to Harper and introduces himself properly and offers a handshake.
Eve: Wow what a respectable gentleman!-
Gavin Kirkland: And my queen Harper just slapped the shit out of him! She has no time for his patronizing “respect”! Harper just picked him up and drove him down to the mat with a Double Handed Chokeslam! Harper picks him back up and shoves him into the corner. He staggers out…
Eve: LONELY STAR!!! HARPER JUST KNEED HIS HEAD OFF! HARPER TO THE COVER AND THIS THING IS MERCIFULLY OVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Deadprez: But Harper lifts the shoulder of her opponent! She is laughing as Silas Mason is too and he is jumping up and down joyfully at ringside! He is clearly loving every minute of this sick display!
(Harper drags her opponent over to the enemy corner by the hand and forces Mohammed Al-Ali to tag in to the match. Mohammed is already covered with blood after being hit with a chair earlier but Harper yanks him in forcefully by the hair and drags him over to the Silas World corner.)
(TAG!)
Eve: And now the third member of Silas World, Pandora Paisley is in the ring and she kicks her opponent hard in the head! She is stomping on him now as he chokes and coughs up blood.
(Medical staff is shown coming to the ring with stretchers as clearly they will be needed. However, the referee refuses to end the match and Silas Mason meets them at the bottom of the ramp preventing them from interfering.)
Deadprez: Pandora Paisley just hit a Double Underhook DDT!!! And now she is looking to put the opposition away…
Eve: PANDORA CONNECTS WITH PANDORUM!!! SHE JUST KNOCKED HER OPPONENT THE HELL OUT!!! THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Eve: Come the hell on! Just end it already!!!
Referee; THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Pandora Paisley: LMAO JK!!!
(Pandora pulls the shoulder up!!!)
Eve: This bitch…
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) Nah for real this time! Count again!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Eve: She better actually do the pin this time…
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winners… the team of Harper Lee, Brianna Hill, and Pandora Paisley… SILAS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD!!!!!!!!!
( ‘Another World’ by Gojira hits to even louder boos from the crowd than when it hit the first time. It is almost as if after the match it hits different.)
Eve: What an absolutely disgusting display from Silas World here tonight. I’d love to see them try this with competitors who are actually a threat to them.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know what you are talking about Eve. These were clearly the top wrestling trio in all of Ohio. Maybe even all of the world!
Deadprez: I sincerely doubt that Gavin. Nobody knows who these people were they were probably randomly dragged out here from catering.
(The deceased opponents of Silas World are shown being loaded onto stretchers and carried out. Silas Mason laughs as he flips over one of the stretchers as it is being carried backstage causing it to roll down the ramp and the medical staff have to carry it back up again.)
Eve: :wth:
Deadprez: Sick shit.
Gavin Kirkland: Maybe they shouldn’t have messed with Silas World if they can’t take the outcome. I mean these people are no angels.
Eve: Sure Gavin. Whatever you need to tell yourself to convince yourself that everything you just saw is OK. But I disagree and will be filing an official complaint to both the network as well as the EAW board after this program.
Deadprez: Somehow I doubt that will do anything Eve but I guess we have to try something…
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Hispanic Heritage Month.)
(The camera cuts from the ringside area to a portion of the backstage area where Kyra Phillips is standing in front of the well known rich blue backdrop that represents Showdown. She has a microphone in her hand and a smile on her face as she begins to speak.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, the action has been hot and heavy so far on Showdown as we head towards The Last Stand. But before we talk about The Last Stand, let’s talk about more of the fallout of the Territorial Invasion event last weekend.
Kyra Phillips: There were many high profile matches throughout the weekend and the action was nonstop, but one of the high profile matches of the weekend was the Divide and Conquer match.
Kyra Phillips: Team Showdown took on a team made up of competitors from both Dynasty and Voltage. Both teams brought their all in that match and I am happy to say that Team Showdown was the surviving team in that match.
Kyra Phillips: But there could only be one winner in the match, and my guest at this time is the winner of the Divide and Conquer match. He is VINCENT MONDRIAN!
(Seconds later, Vincent Mondrian appears on camera and stands next to Kyra. In the background, you can faintly hear the sounds of boos coming from the crowd. Whether he knows about the crowd reaction or not, he really doesn’t care as he looks at Kyra.)
Kyra Phillips: Vincent, first off, thank you for giving us a few moments of your time for this interview.
Vincent Mondrian: Naturally. Besides, at least interviewing me will add something that the rest of these losers around here just don’t have.
Kyra Phillips: What exactly is it that you add?
Vincent Mondrian: What I add is on a need to know basis and you really don’t need to know right now, do you? Besides, I don’t think the point of this interview is to find out what I add to conversations, is it not?
(That question caught Kyra off guard. It was a self righteous way to answer that question, but even she had to admit he had a point. She offers a small nod in response to his question.)
Kyra Phillips: Understandable. I can respect that, so how about we continue with why I asked for this interview. First off, I would like to congratulate you on the big victory last week at Territorial Invasion. You first survived the elimination portion of the match and then you became the last man standing over a very tough field of competitors.
Vincent Mondrian: The field wasn’t exactly as tough as you were making out to be, Kyra.
Kyra Phillips: I mean agree to disagree, Vincent. The Voltage and Dynasty had a lot of rising talent and also included a former Tag Team Champion in Kirk Redwood.
Vincent Mondrian: Yeah yeah yeah. I know what Kirk has done before, but Brianna Hill was a former Champion. Hell, I am a former Champion in my own right, so that really doesn’t help the argument, Kyra, because Kirk was taken out very early in the match.
Kyra Phillips: You made your point very clear. Now in the Divide and Conquer match, you eliminated a third of the field including the deciding fall in the match. Do you find that statistic surprising?
Vincent Mondrian: I don’t think that’s surprising at all. Honestly, it’s a little low to my appreciation if you know what I mean.
Kyra Phillips: I’m not sure. What exactly do you mean?
Vincent Mondrian: I mean with the level of talent the opposing team had, I should have been able to easily eliminate the entire other team by myself, but I am not going to quibble about those small details considering I got the result that I wanted.
Kyra Phillips: It sounds like you are saying that the competition in the match wasn’t really up to your standard to provide, what you would consider, an adequate challenger.
Vincent Mondrian: Exactly.
Kyra Phillips: Are you saying the same thing about Brianna Hill? She is a member of Silas World and former Specialists Champion who can certainly provide a challenge to any competitor.
Vincent Mondrian: Don’t be putting words in my mouth. Brianna was without a doubt my biggest challenge in that match. She has an attitude, but she provided the most challenge to me. It came down to a battle of who wanted the victory more. As everyone saw that when it came down to her against me, I was the one who came out triumphant.
Kyra Phillips: We all did see that and it was certainly a hard fought and successful victory last weekend. That leads me to my next question. What is the next step for Vincent Mondrian?
Vincent Mondrian: What’s Vincent Mondrian’s next step? My next step has been obvious since the first minute of the season. What people need to realize is that what I did and what I accomplished at Territorial Invasion is just the tip of the iceberg.
Kyra Phillips: Meaning?
Vincent Mondrian: I mean that people who saw my performance at Territorial Invasion should use that as a warning moving forward and for the future because I am done sitting and lurking in the shadows.
Vincent Mondrian: For months, I have been biding my time waiting for the perfect time to make my move. I am ready… NO! I am actually MORE than ready to take that next step and become exactly what I should be right now and that is to become champion once again. That first reign was just a teasing type of taste. The next title reign will be the truth delectable delight that I have been craving for so long. That main course is going to–
(Vincent stops talking as he looks forward, almost in a trance. Kyra is confused and turns around to see what Vincent is looking at. The camera shot widens to reveal Silas Mason standing next to Kyra. The crowd in the background immediately boos Silas out of the building because of how much they hated him. I think that Silas caught wind of the reaction, but who wouldn’t with how loud the crowd is? Silas simply rolls his eyes and offers the standard Silas smile to Vincent.)
Vincent Mondrian: Can I help you?
Silas Mason: No. But I think that I can help you.
(Vincent looks at Silas with a confused expression on his face wondering what Silas Mason would want with him.)
Vincent Mondrian: Excuse me?
Silas Mason: What I mean is that I couldn’t help but overhear what you were saying to dear Kyra… hello Kyra….
(Kyra rolls her eyes in almost disgust because everybody knows about the reputation and attitude of Silas Mason.)
Silas Mason: Anyways, I couldn’t help but overhear what you were saying and I am very inclined to agree with you, Vincent.
Vincent Mondrian: You do?
Silas Mason: Of course I do. I wholeheartedly agree that you deserve a chance at championship gold. Especially with your performance at Territorial Invasion. Let me say right now that it takes a lot to impress me and I will tell you that I was very impressed with you, Vincent.
Vincent Mondrian: Oh. Well thank you.
Silas Mason: Hear me out. I think that you and I should take a moment to talk a little business. So what do you say?
(Silas walks over to Vincent and pats him on the shoulder before handing Vincent one of his business cards. Vincent isn’t sure what to think, but he takes a moment to read the business card. He knows of Silas’ reputation, but he also knows of Sila’s success. He thinks about that before a smirk appears on his face.)
Vincent Mondrian: I’m listening.
(That answer puts an even bigger smile on Silas’ face.)
Silas Mason: That’s what I love to hear.
(Silas and Vincent begin speaking, safely assuming about business, before they walk away from Kyra and the interview area. The final shot shows Kyra Phillips looking on with confusion as the shot fades to a commercial break.)
(As the last commercial ends, it fades to Gina Romano ready to announce the Main Event.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR MAIN EVENT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘New Devil’ by Asking Alexandria blasts through the arena to a chorus of boos from the crowd, as usual. Daryl Kinkade storms out in a foul mood, weighed down by everything he has endured this year, barely acknowledging the stage before marching straight toward the ring with each step carrying a surge of raw anger and his frustration radiating with every movement.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM NORWICH, ENGLAND!… WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS!… THE KINK OF ELITE!… DARYL KINKADE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Not exactly a great sight to behold, considering everything he’s been through at Territorial Invasion. Despite showing a lot of promise, one bad error and a poor reputation afterward left him wondering what more he could have done between himself and Donovan Duke that leading to a downward spiral that dragged Showdown’s chances into the dirt.
Eve: A dysfunctional team never works well, and those two simply couldn’t co-exist at the most critical time. Now, it’s time for everything to be paid in full for Daryl Kinkade, with the failure he had to endure at Territorial Invasion coming back around tonight as he finally faces Donovan Duke one-on-one to settle the score.
Deadprez: KICK SOME ASSES!
(‘Enemy’ by From Ashes to New hits as Daryl Kinkade is already radiating pure disgust at the thought of Donovan Duke. Duke charges out almost immediately, wasting no time as Daryl glares and points straight at him from across the ring, brimming with anger. Donovan ignores Silas Mason at ringside, who follows closely behind to get this fight underway once and for all, determined to prove who the better man truly is, and who deserves to be blamed for the Territorial Invasion showdown failure.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT!… ACCOMPANIED BY SILAS MASON!… FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA!… WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS!… DEVIOUS & DEBONAIR!… DONOVANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!… DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: After the shocking announcement made at Territorial Invasion and with both men believing they had secured victory that night, the outcome instead left them in a bitter frenzy and that turning point has driven both Donovan and Daryl into a seething conflict to unleash their anger on one another once more in a desperate attempt to finally settle this seemingly endless matter.
Deadprez: We’ve really reached the point where it’s about two men who want nothing more than to tear each other apart. Oh man, we’re finally about to witness some real fireworks ignite tonight!
Eve: Considering the magnitude of the last time these two clashed in a singles match, this is bound to be even more intense. The tension is practically suffocating in the air, and both men show some pure rage as they prepare to collide once again. Pride. Vengeance… and proving who truly belongs regardless of how much the audience despises them both.
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: The bell ri- OH MY GOD!!!! BOW DOWN TO THE KINK!!!!!! Kinkade has been waiting for this very moment, unleashing a speedy strike and immediately planting Donovan down to the canvas as that elbow crashes straight into the jaw from the very start!
Eve: A devastating swinging elbow lands flush, cutting off Donovan’s fiery charge from the corner with brutal precision! Kinkade puts an abrupt halt to all that momentum, dragging him off the mat and driving him further into concussion territory with this one!…. HAIL TO THE VICTOR!!!!!!! KINKADE DRIVES DONOVAN INTO THE GROUND AND HOOKS THE LEG!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: OH MAN, THIS COULD END THE MATCH RIGHT HERE!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: TWO! The former Answers World Champion refuses to let Silas Mason have his way tonight, kicking out of what could have been a devastating downfall in this match!
Deadprez: Donovan is being brutally assaulted by those sudden natural instincts, forcing him to stumble out toward the floor as Silas Mason closes in, taking firm control of him!
Eve: Kinkade pulls himself off the canvas and glares around before finding his opening, already on a mission as he sprints across the ring and rebounds off the ropes!… FLYING HIGH NOW!… SASUKE SPECIAL OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HE CRASHES DOWN ON DONOVAN DUKE WHILE HE’S STILL REELING!
Gavin Kirkland: KINKADE IS RUNNING ON PURE FURY, BAD BLOOD DRIVING HIM TO ERASE THE NUMBER ONE PUBLIC ENEMY OF THE SILAS WORLD!
Eve: Donovan Duke hasn’t even landed a single strike on Daryl Kinkade, who drags him off the ground and tosses the weakened Duke back inside the ring, still reeling heavily. Silas Mason is forced to step back as Daryl threatens to strike him the moment he dares to come any closer.
Daryl Kinkade: (Off-Mic) FUCK OFF, BRUV!
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) Watch your tone!
Eve: Donovan is finally regaining some control, rising to his knees, though barely able to steady himself. Daryl Kinkade reenters the ring and positions himself in the corner, watching Donovan struggle to get fully back on his feet before charging at full speed!… JUMPING REVERSE STO PLANTING DONOVAN’S FACE INTO THE MAT! Daryl hooks him over and goes for another pinfall attempt!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: Two counts yet again, and Daryl is growing a little frustrated knowing that Donovan Duke refuses to stay down so easily!
Gavin Kirkland: It’s not going to be the effortless conquest Daryl expected, as he struggles to dictate the match the way he wants. Kinkade rises back to his feet once more, clutching the ropes for balance, before grabbing hold of Donovan Duke, who can barely stand, only to launch him straight into a European Uppercut, delivered with punishing force from England’s finest sending Donovan reeling backward from that high impact!
Deadprez: That’s one hell of a counter from Daryl Kinkade to put down the challenger but Donovan is showing resilience, absorbing the punishment and firing back with his own strike! An elbow smash crashes across the side of Kinkade’s jaw, staggering Daryl back just a step!
Eve: Kinkade, anger written all over his face, comes storming off the ropes and drives a running boot straight into Donovan’s jaw with the impact lands with a vicious crack, sending Duke reeling once again!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke is clearly running on fumes after everything Daryl has put him through, yet he refuses to back down any longer, even yelling at Kinkade to hit him harder. Donovan gives a quick nod in defiance, and look at how this moment unfolds as a testament to the deep-seated bad blood between these two rivals!
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) YOU HIT ME LIKE A BITCH!
Daryl Kinkade: (Off-Mic) THAT’S WHAT A LITTLE CUNT LIKE YOU DESERVE!
Eve: AND HERE WE GO AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN WASTING A SECOND MORE! A SHARP SLAP CRACKS ACROSS THE FACE OF DARYL KINKADE, BUT DARYL FIRES BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN, STRIKING WITH EVEN GREATER VENOM AT DONOVAN’S JAW!
Deadprez: AND DONOVAN RESPONDS IN KIND, ANSWERING WITH A DEFIANT SLAP, THEN UNLEASHING A STIFF FOREARM BEFORE SPINNING BACK TO DELIVER A BLISTERING BACKHAND! THAT’S A COMBINATION MEANT TO SPIT IN THE FACE OF DARYL’S REPUTATION, YEARS IN THE MAKING, SHOWING HE DOESN’T GIVE A SINGLE CARE ABOUT WHAT KINKADE STANDS FOR!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl steadies himself against the ropes as Donovan Duke tries to charge in, but Kinkade keeps his eyes sharp and drives a boot straight into the jaw as Duke rushes forward. Now using the ropes for momentum, Daryl springs upward… STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI LANDS FLUSH ACROSS DONOVAN’S JAW, RATTLING HIS SKULL FOR A SPLIT SECOND!
Eve: Kinkade is pushing himself up, trying to reclaim his space and slipping in behind Donovan, attempting to gather his grip and set him up…. LOOKING FOR THE LIFTING REVERSE DDT!
Deadprez: But Donovan Duke manages to escape, sliding off Daryl’s shoulder just before the DDT could connect! Duke counters overhead and shoves Kinkade away…. SLAPPING THE SHIT OUTTA THE BACK OF HIS HEAD IN THE PROCESS, BOTH DISORIENTING AND DAMAGING HIM AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl is caught off guard by the sudden counterattack, and Donovan wastes no time as he immediately snares him from behind… GERMAN SUPLEX DRIVING DARYL DOWN ONTO THE BACK OF HIS NECK IN A SICKENING FASHION!!!!!!
Deadprez: That’s doubling down on the damage Daryl has already taken to the back of his head, while Donovan is already scrambling back to his feet!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl Kinkade tries to regain his footing, but he’s dazed, his head throbbing and Donovan puts every ounce of speed and power behind his charge!… SPEAR CUTS DARYL IN HALF AND TURNS HIM INSIDE OUT WITH A FULL 360-DEGREE SPIN!!!!! DONOVAN DUKE IS SET ABLAZE TO PULL OUT EVERY BIG MOVE HE HAS LEFT IN RESERVE TO PUT DARYL AWAY AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG AS THE REFEREE SLIDES IN TO COUNT!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: THE IMPACT BLASTED HIM AWAY LIKE A VIOLENT GUST OF WIND STILL WASN’T ENOUGH TO KEEP DARYL KINKADE DOWN AS HE KICKS OUT AT TWO AND ENDURES YET ANOTHER ONSLAUGHT COMING HIS WAY!
Eve: Donovan looks around, knowing he still hasn’t truly immersed himself in this blood-soaked feud with Daryl Kinkade with his expression turns solemn as he drags Daryl back onto his feet, setting the pace in his hands before swinging his arm wide… AND DRIVES A BLISTERING CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST OF DARYL KINKADE, FORCING HIM TO GRIT HIS TEETH IN AGONY FOR A MOMENT!
Deadprez: Kinkade is already seen shaking his head, while Donovan looks defiant enough against the Kink of Elite, refusing to let himself be laid in his hands. With his palms pressed against his back, Donovan pulses with determination, almost reveling in this war, and showing he has no intention of ending it until he decides the time is right.
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) Show me what you got, you CLOWN-
(CRACK!!!!!!!!!!)
Eve: VICIOUS ELBOW TO THE JAW!!!!! DARYL ISN’T HOLDING BACK AS HIS MIND GAMES WITH DONOVAN DUKE GIVE WAY TO SHEER BRUTALITY AS HE NEARLY SHATTERS DONOVAN’S JAW WITH THAT CRUSHING ELBOW STRIKE!
Gavin Kirkland: THE FORCE SENDS DUKE CRUMPLING TO THE CANVAS, AND EVEN SILAS MASON CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE’S WITNESSING IN FRONT OF HIM! DARYL KINKADE HAS UNLEASHED HIS ABSOLUTE FIERCEST ATTEMPT YET TO KNOCK DONOVAN DUKE OUT COLD!
Deadprez: Kinkade has felt destined to bring this match to an end at any moment now, and he’s dragging Donovan back by clutching his chin tight, forcing him to lock eyes, staring straight down into the very depths of his soul…
Daryl Kinkade: (Off-Mic) FUCK YOU, DONOVAN!
(SLAP!)
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! DARYL JUST SLAPPED DONOVAN DUKE AS HARD AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE, NEARLY SENDING HIM CRASHING TO THE GROUND!
Eve: KINKADE REFUSES TO LET UP, YANKING HIM BACK BEFORE CHARGING DOWN THE ROPES AND LAUNCHING HIMSELF OFF THE SECOND ROPE… SOARING BACK AT DONOVAN FOR THIS NEXT DEVASTATING MOVE TO CONNECT!……. DKO!!!!!!!!!
(CRACKKKK!!!!!!!!)
Deadprez: NO NO NO!!!!
Eve: OH MY GOD!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT A CATCH BY DONOVAN DUKE! DUKE COMES FLYING IN WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT THAT CRASHES INTO THE BACK OF DARYL KINKADE’S HEAD, RATTLING HIS SKULL AND SENDING HIM SPIRALING DOWN HARD FROM THE SUDDEN, JARRING IMPACT THAT NEARLY SEVERS THE NERVES IN HIS NECK!
Eve: KINKADE IS CLUTCHING HIS HEAD, STAGGERING IN AGONY BUT DONOVAN ISN’T FINISHED! DUKE COMES SPRINTING AT FULL SPEED, REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES- OH MY HERE WE GO!… BANG!!!!!! A LARIAT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND IT LANDS WITH DEVASTATING PRECISION, DROPPING KINKADE FLAT! DONOVAN DUKE DIVES INTO THE COVER!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEE-
Eve: AND STILL ONLY TWO IN THIS MATCH, AS DARYL KINKADE MANAGES TO WIPE OUT AT THE LAST SECOND ONCE MORE!
Deadprez: BUT DONOVAN ALREADY HAS ANOTHER PLAN IN MIND, PRYING DARYL BENEATH HIS LEGS AND REFUSING TO LET GO, HOISTING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS DESPITE THE DRAINING TOLL ON HIS OWN BODY!
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN IS SHOWCASING EVERY OUNCE OF STRENGTH AGAINST HUMANITY ITSELF RIGHT HERE!… POWERBOMB!!!!!! DONOVAN FOLDS BOTH OF DARYL’S LEGS DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR THE COVER YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: TWO AGAIN!!!!! DARYL POWERS OUT!!!!!
Eve: Donovan Duke has already unleashed nearly everything in his arsenal to try and put Daryl Kinkade down in this match, but Daryl refuses to surrender unless Duke is willing to give up his very willpower to break him!
Deadprez: Daryl is struggling back to his feet, pushing himself off the mat, but Duke is right there to meet him as he’s catching him by the waist and powering him straight up, forcing both men back to a vertical base as he tightens the grip!… HE LIFTS KINKADE LIFTS HIM OVER FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: ELBOW! Kinkade drives his elbow down hard into the shoulder of Donovan Duke once he manages to free himself, following up with another crushing blow to the same shoulder that had just been targeted in the Northern Lights Suplex as he quickly shifts his position to seize control… DARYL GOES FOR THE SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!
Eve: Duke was able to wriggle his arm free and looked to counter with that arm drag, sending Kinkade flying over him but Daryl miraculously lands on his feet! OH NO, KINKADE DASHES STRAIGHT TO THE ROPES, AND HE’S QUICKLY GOING FOR IT ON HIS OWN ATTEMPT!… DKO OFF THE SPRINGBOARD, CUTTING BACK INTO DONOVAN DUKE!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: BICYCLE KICK!!!!! DONOVAN DUKE COUNTERS BY SMASHING THE BACK OF DARYL KINKADE’S HEAD MID-AIR JUST AS DARYL ATTEMPTED TO TAKE HIM DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: DUKE REFUSES TO BE TREATED AS A PAWN IN DARYL’S BROADER GAME PLAN, CUTTING HIM OFF IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FAILED ATTACK AS HE STEADIES HIMSELF ON HIS FEET, REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES, AND CHARGES BACK IN… LOOKING FOR YET ANOTHER BICYCLE KICK!
Eve: THRUST KICK CONNECTS!!!!!! DONOVAN DUKE WAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AFTER REBOUNDING FROM THE ROPES, CAUGHT FLUSH BY A THRUST KICK THAT CONNECTED FEROCIOUSLY WITH HIS JAW!
Deadprez: BUT DARYL COLLAPSED TO THE CANVAS AS WELL, THE SHEER POWER OF THE STRIKE DRAINING WHAT STRENGTH HE HAD LEFT AFTER FLOORING DUKE!
Gavin Kirkland: KINKADE FORCES HIMSELF BACK UP, PUNCHING THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION, AND IS ALREADY ON HIS FEET AGAIN! HE LETS OUT A SHARP BREATH, SIZING UP DONOVAN DUKE AS HE CLUTCHES HIS JAW AND STRUGGLES TO RECOVER BEFORE MAKING ANOTHER RUN STRAIGHT AT HIM!… DARYL GOES FOR THE STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!!!!!
Eve: AND DESPITE EVERYTHING DARYL HAS BECOME, DONOVAN MOVES OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME!
Deadprez: DARYL HURTS HIMSELF AND DUKE IS REACHING OUT FOR KINKADE NOW, QUICKLY TUCKING HIS ARMS IN TIGHT AND HOOKING BOTH OF DARYL’S ARMS!… THIS COULD VERY WELL BE THE END, AS DUKE FORCES HIM DOWN, GOING STRAIGHT FOR THE RUINS AND DEMISE ATTEMPT!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT KINKADE IS DESPERATELY ATTEMPTING TO FIGHT OUT OF DONOVAN DUKE’S HOLD, THRASHING HIS ARMS TO SHAKE HIM OFF BUT HE CAN’T BREAK FREE IN TIME, AS DUKE FLIPS HIM OVER WHILE STILL MAINTAINING THE LOCK!
Eve: DARYL SHOWS HIS CUNNING, SHIFTING THE MOMENTUM INTO A SURPRISE PINFALL ATTEMPT, CATCHING DUKE OFF GUARD WITH AN INNOVATIVE COUNTER AGAINST ONE OF THE SHARPEST MINDS IN THIS BATTLEFIELD! HE’S GOING FOR THE COUNT WITH BRIDGING PINFALL!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE HAS MANAGED TO WRIGGLE HIS ARMS FREE, FINALLY BREAKING OUT OF THE HOLD, AND DARYL KINKADE IS FORCED TO LET GO AS WELL!
Deadprez: Kinkade scrambles back to his feet despite his face and head still wracked with pain but that only gives Donovan the opening to strike!… SUPERKICK RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW, RETURNING THE FAVOR FOR EVERYTHING DARYL HAS DONE TO HIM EARLIER IN THE MATCH!
Eve: DARYL REELS IN AGONY, AND DONOVAN ISN’T ABOUT TO LET HIM BREATHE AS HE SEIZES DARYL BY THE HEAD…. AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A SITOUT JAWBREAKER-
Gavin Kirkland: OH, BUT THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO BE THE CASE! DARYL KINKADE PULLS HIS HEAD FREE, AND DONOVAN’S MOMENTUM CARRIES HIM STRAIGHT INTO EMPTY AIR!… AND DARYL IMMEDIATELY SLIDES INTO POSITION, SETTING UP FOR THE BOW DOWN TO THE KINK ATTEMPT ONCE AGAIN, RIGHT TO DONOVAN’S FACE, JUST AS HE DID EARLIER IN THIS MATCH-
Deadprez: DONOVAN DUCKS HIS HEAD UNDERNEATH, SLIPPING FREE AND SWINGING AN ELBOW THAT IS SUPPOSED TO GET HIM! DUKE RISES BACK TO HIS FEET AND SWINGS FOR THE RUNNING LARIAT-
Eve: BUT DARYL FLIPS UNDERNEATH HIS ARM, TURNING IT AROUND AS HE SNATCHES DONOVAN BY THE WAIST AND HOISTS HIM HIGH ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, SETTING UP FOR THE LIGER BOMB ATTEMPT!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DONOVAN SLIPS OUT, BREAKING THE HOLD AND LANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF KINKADE AS HE SPINS BACK AROUND… FORCE OF WILL!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: SPINNING BACK FIST STILL COULDN’T GET THE HEAD OF DARYL KINKADE UNDER CONTROL AND DONOVAN IS TURNED AROUND, FACING THE OPPOSITE WAY, AND DARYL SUDDENLY HOISTS HIMSELF UP ONTO DUKE’S SHOULDERS AND SWINGS BACKWARD, DRIVING HIM DOWN!… POISONRANA SPIKES HIM AND NEARLY TAKES DONOVAN’S HEAD CLEAN OFF!!!!!!!!
Eve: Donovan is still reeling from that massive impact to his head, and Daryl isn’t about to let this opportunity slip away as he pushes off his knees, rushes across to the opposite ropes, and comes flying back down!… DKO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Eve: DONOVAN DUKE MAKES A SKILLFUL ESCAPE, KICKING OUT JUST AS THE REFEREE’S HAND WAS ABOUT TO SLAP THE MAT FOR THE THREE-COUNT. DARYL KINKADE REALIZES HE HASN’T SECURED THE VICTORY YET, GROWING VISIBLY IRATE OVER HOW CLOSE HE CAME, KNOWING THIS MATCH IS FAR FROM REACHING ITS END!
Gavin Kirkland: Silas Mason looks toward from the outside with his face tight with an overwhelming sense of relief at what lies ahead of him, and with no small measure of pride watching Donovan Duke hold his own so far!
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) COME ON, DONNY!
Gavin Kirkland: Kinkade is dragging Duke off the canvas once more, locking in both arms yet again! Donovan is still groggy, barely conscious, and Kinkade appears ready to put this to an end!… KINKADE HOISTS HIM UP FOR MISERY LOVES COMPANY!!!!!!!
Eve: Donovan manages to shake himself free, prying both arms loose and slipping behind Kinkade! Daryl tries to turn around, but Donovan slams his forearm straight across the jaw, sending Kinkade stumbling away!
Deadprez: Duke positions himself near the ropes, with Kinkade rushing back at him but Donovan pulls the ropes down, launching Kinkade over and crashing him to the outside! Donovan quickly gets back up, sprinting across the ring, rebounding off the ropes, and launching himself through the ropes… SUICIDE DIVE DRIVES KINKADE CRASHING STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Kinkade writhes on the floor with his back wracked with pain after colliding with the barricade. Duke tangles up with him as Kinkade staggers back to his feet, clutching at his spine for Donovan to catch him from behind… AND SEND HIS FACE CRASHING AGAINST THE RING POST!!!!!!!!
Eve: Daryl ends up leaning against the post, clutching his back in pain. Duke forces him down, sending him rolling to the mat before swiftly hopping onto the apron and climbing the top rope with urgency!
Deadprez: Kinkade struggles to get back up, but Duke has him perfectly measured, waiting for the right moment and he takes to the skies!… DIVING MOONSAULT ONTO DARYL!!!!! COVER!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: AND THAT STILL ISN’T ENOUGH TO KEEP HIM DOWN, AS DARYL KINKADE POWERS OUT AT TWO, LEAVING DONOVAN VISIBLY FRUSTRATED AND DESPERATE AFTER EVERYTHING HE’S ALREADY THROWN AT HIM, WONDERING WHAT MORE IT WILL TAKE!
Eve: Donovan Duke pulls himself back to his feet, seizing Daryl by the head and dragging him upright once again!
Deadprez: He knows nobody in this arena is holding anything back for either of them, but he doesn’t care and he’ll do whatever it takes as the Silas World watches on. Duke twists Daryl’s head around… AND HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE SUPREME VERDICT TO PUT AN END TO THIS MATCH!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT JUST A SECOND, DARYL MANAGES TO SHAKE OFF THOSE LEGS BEFORE THE WIDOW’S PEAK COULD BE EXECUTED AGAINST HIM!
Eve: KINKADE TWISTS DONOVAN BACK DOWN IN THE WORST WAY, DRAGGING HIM TOWARD HIS LEGS AND IMMEDIATELY HOISTING HIM UP ONCE AGAIN, GOING FOR THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT MISERY LOVES COMPANY WITH DONOVAN DRAPED ACROSS HIS SHOULDERS… AND DARYL SPINS HIM OFF IT-
Deadprez: BUT DONNY MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET, AND WITH THE TWIST STILL IN HIS GRASP, HE SPINS OUT!… FORCE OF WILL!!!!!!! DARYL IMMEDIATELY DROPS TO HIS KNEES FROM THE SHEER IMPACT, CLUTCHING HIS JAW IN AGONY!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE REFUSES TO RELENT, DRAGGING DARYL BACK UP ONCE IT CONNECTS AND HOISTING HIM HIGH… CHANGE OF HEART!!!!! A FIREMAN’S CARRY SPUN INTO A CRUSHING SIDEWALK SLAM, PLANTING KINKADE FIRMLY INTO THE MAT AND DUKE GOES STRAIGHT FOR THE COVER!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Just couldn’t keep up with Daryl Kinkade there! What a powerful kick-out, cutting off any chance Donovan thought he had left against him!
Eve: Daryl’s been a man on a mission, carrying that storm of anger straight into this match. He’s refusing to lose focus despite everything Donovan Duke’s been throwing at him but Duke isn’t backing down either. He knows Daryl can shut him down at any moment, and now those arms are hooked once again!
Deadprez: Daryl’s barely conscious at this point and he’s completely out of it, and he’s not getting up anytime soon! Donovan’s got those arms locked tight… HE’S LIFTING HIM UP!… DUKE ATTEMPTS RUIN AND DEMISE TO FINISH THIS MATCH ON THE SPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DARYL! He’s able to counter! Kinkade overshoots himself right over the shoulders and head of Donovan Duke, sliding through into a backslide position before quickly springing to his feet off the ropes as the momentum shifts in his favor… AND COMES DOWN WITH THE DKO ON DONOVAN AGAIN !!!!!!
Eve: Duke’s scrambling to the second rope now, and he leaps, crashing his forearm into Daryl Kinkade’s back, almost knocking him off balance! Daryl’s teetering, but Duke isn’t letting go as he’s got him hooked, refusing to let him slip through his grasp!
Deadprez: Duke’s been playing the long game tonight, and now he’s setting up for something huge! Both men are perched on the second rope… Duke is hooking both arms from behind… what in the world is he thinking here?!-
Eve: DONOVAN DUKE GOES FOR THE DRAGON SUPLEX OFF THE SECOND ROPE WHILE BOTH MEN ARE UP THERE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD, THIS IS GETTING CRAZT! DARYL JUST LANDED ON BOTH FEET AFTER DONOVAN TRIED TO TAKE FLIGHT, COMPLETELY LOSING CONTROL FROM THAT WILD IMPACT! DUKE REALIZES HIS MISTAKE AND TURNS AROUND BUT KINKADE CHARGES AT FULL SPEED!… BOW DOWN TO THE KINK STRAIGHT ACROSS THE JAW!!!!!!
Deadprez: DUKE STILL DUCKS THE ARM THAT WAS MEANT TO TAKE HIS HEAD OFF AND CATCHES KINKADE FROM BEHIND…. LIFTING HIM IMMEDIATELY! DOUBLE CHICKENWING VARIATION INTO THE COURTEOUS COLLAPSE-
Gavin Kirkland: AND KINKADE FIRES BACK, REVERSING WITH A CREATIVE ROLL OF HIS OWN BY SLIPPING OUT OF THE DOUBLE CHICKENWING THAT DUKE WAS TRYING TO EXECUTE! DUKE LOSES HIS GRIP, AND NOW KINKADE’S GOT THE OPENING!!!!!
Eve: THIS COULD BE HIS MOMENT!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Eve: OH MY GOD, THAT WAS SO CLOSE! BUT DONOVAN JUST BARELY MANAGES TO KICK OUT IN TIME! NOW HE’S NEAR THE CORNER, TRYING TO CATCH HIS BREATH, WHILE KINKADE CHARGES IN AT FULL SPEED, LOOKING TO TACKLE HIM BUT DONOVAN CATCHES HIM WITH AN ELBOW, KNOCKING HIM BACKWARD INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl’s staggering and Donovan hangs onto the ropes, springboards off—
Eve: DKO!!! DKO!!! CUTTER IN MID-AIR!!! DONOVAN’S BEEN FLATTENED! HE’S TUMBLING ACROSS THE MAT, TRYING TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET!
Deadprez: BUT DARYL TURNS AROUND, REBOUNDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE, AND… SPRINGBOARD CUTTER!!!!! KINKADE TAKES HIM DOWN AGAIN!!! ANOTHER RKO! A COMPLETE VARIATION OF ITS OWN AND THIS HAS TO BE IT!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl isn’t done with Donovan Duke yet and he knows just how stubborn Duke truly is beneath all of this! Daryl’s got him hooked, both arms locked tight, dragging him up from the mat and hoisting him onto his shoulders!… MISERY LOVES COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: THAT’S IT!!!!!!! DARYL GOES FOR THE COVER-
Gavin Kirkland: AND SILAS MASON HAS SEEN ENOUGH! HE STORMS INTO THE RING, STOMPING DOWN ON DARYL KINKADE JUST AS DARYL WAS ABOUT TO CLOSE IN FOR THE PIN!
Eve: HE’S FOLLOWED BY BRIANNA HILL AND HARPER LEE, RUSHING DOWN THE RAMP AND SLIDING INTO THE RING TO BE JOINING IN ON THE ASSAULT, STOMPING AND BEATING DOWN DARYL KINKADE!
(DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION!… DARYL KINKADE!
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?
Gavin Kirkland: We’re all asking the same question right now but it’s being answered right before our eyes! Daryl Kinkade is getting absolutely destroyed in the ring as Silas Mason takes command, ordering his followers to dismantle him piece by piece!
Eve: Donovan Duke is being restrained by his new associate, trying to hold him back as chaos unfolds-
Deadprez: And wait a second…. Pandora Paisley’s here too! She looks like she wants to get involved, but… what is this? She’s not heading to the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s taking a stand at ringside and watching her old friend get torn apart?!
(Harper Lee and Brianna Hill have joined forces with a battered Donovan Duke, all of them desperate to get their hands on Daryl Kinkade after everything he’s done. Together, they’re mercilessly beating him down while Silas Mason stands over them, barking orders in pure fury, demanding they beat the life out of Kinkade. Meanwhile, Pandora Paisley remains outside the ring, taking a deep breath, crossing her arms, and simply watching the chaos unfold without getting involved.)
(Silas Mason turns and sees Pandora standing there watching. He then smiles and walks over to the ropes and opens them for her as he signals her to come in.)
Silas Mason: (Off Mic) This is the moment you have been waiting for, Pandora! Come on in here and kick his head off!
(She looks at Silas for a minute before hopping on the apron and stepping in. Donovan and Harper Lee hold Daryl’s arms, Brianna has him by the chin.)
Silas Mason: (Off Mic) TAKE HIS HEAD OFF!
(Daryl and Pandora lock eyes, there is almost a hesitation from Pandora but then her face slowly turns into a scowl as Daryl knows what is coming.)
Deadprez: PANDORA IS ABOUT TO PROVE HERSELF!
Gavin Kirkland: KICK HIS HEAD OFF!
Eve: GAVIN!?
(Suddenly “Bad Blood” starts to play throughout the arena as the fans get to their feet, Pandora turns, her eyes widened as Auburn Ware comes rushing down to the ring.)
Deadprez: AUBURN WARE IS BACK AFTER PANDORA TOOK HER OUT AND SHE IS MAKING A BEELINE TO THE RING; SHE SLIDES IN AND TACKLES PANDORA! SHE IS WAILING ON HER WITH FISTS!
Eve: SILAS MASON PULLED HER OFF AND AUBURN WAR JUST LANDED A LOU THESZ PRESS ON SILAS! HARPER LEE TACKLES AUBURN WARE! BRIANNA HILL NOW JUMPS INTO THE FRAY AND –
(Suddenly : “We’re All Mad Here” by Aberdeen is Dead starts to play throughout the arena, as the fans explode in cheers. Impact comes running out and he slides into the ring.)
Deadprez: IMPACT IS RUNNING OUT HERE NOW! WE SAW SILAS WORLD ATTACK TEAM SHOWDOWN WAR GAMES AT TERRITORIAL INVASION! IMPACT SLIDES IN AND HE TACKLES DONOVAN DUKE DOWN! WE HAVE A WAR IN THE RING BUT SILAS WORLD STILL HAS THE NUMBERS!
Eve: IMPACT IS POUNDING THE HELL OUT OF DONOVAN DUKE! BUT PANDORA JUMPS ON IMPACT AND SILAS WORLD IS STARTING TO TAKE CONTROL AGAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN MESSING WITH SILAS WORLD AND –
(But before Gavin Kirkland can finish his sentence, the crowd erupts as “Gloria” by the London Symphony Orchestra starts to play. Bea Valentine then walks out, and she holds up an axe.)
Gavin Kirkland: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? SHE STILL HAS THE AXE FROM TERRITORIAL INVASION! NOW SHE COMES RUNNING DOWN TO THE RING BAREFOOT AS SHE JUST SLUNG HER HEELS AND SLIDES IN!
Deadprez: SHE TAKES A SWING AT PANDORA WHO DROPS TO THE MAT AND ROLLS OUT BEFORE SHE TAKES HER HEAD OFF! DONOVAN DUKE JUMPS OVER THE TOP ROPE! SILAS MASON SLIDES OUT AS DOES HARPER LEE AND BRIANNA HILL!
Eve: BEA VALENTINE HAS CLEARED HOUSE! DARYL KINKADE IS BACK UP! SO IS IMPACT AND AUBURN WARE. LOOK AT SILAS SCREAMING IN THE RING AND –
(“Her” by Megan Thee Stallion starts to play throughout the arena as Kennedy Street walks out in the entranceway with a microphone as the music dies down, she has a mic in hand.)
Deadprez: The GM Is out here, and she has something to say!
(Silas World turns to Kennedy.)
Kennedy Street: We are done! After what you did at Territorial Invasion and costing Showdown in War Games, including hurting a lot of my wrestlers on the roster, that is it! So, if you want a war, I will give you one, Silas!
(The crowd cheers as Silas Mason just shakes his head.)
Kennedy Street: So…. In San Antonio, Texas…. It will be Donovan Duke! Harper Lee! Brianna Hill! And Pandora Paisley! And they will take on Bea Valentine! Auburn Ware! Daryl Kinkade! And Impact at The Last Stand… In …..
(The General Manager pauses for a moment and then she screams it out.)
Kennedy Street: THE TEMPLE OF TRIALS MATCH!
(The crowd erupts in cheers as Silas Mason looks on with disgust and then yells…)
Silas Mason: (Off Mic) NO!
(Kennedy Street drops the mic and smiles as Silas World looks toward the ring, where Impact, Daryl Kinkade, Bea Valentine and Auburn Ware are staring them down.)
Deadprez: AND THE TEMPLE OF TRIALS MATCH IS SET AT THE LAST STAND! SILAS WORLD IS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE!
Eve: SILAS WORLD IS NOT HAPPY AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE WARE GOING TO WAR!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR SILAS WORLD! IT IS NOT FAIR!
(Silas World stare down the four in the ring while Silas and Kennedy do not take their eyes off each other.)
Deadprez: WE ARE OUT OF TIME! THANKS FOR JOINING US AND WE ARE ON THE ROAD TO THE LAST STAND! GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!
(The final shot is Silas and Kennedy glaring at one another as the members of Silas World and Team Showdown have a stare down. The scene fades.)
