(EAW intro plays.)
(EARLIER TODAY)
(Alexis Chambers, Nurse Goldstein, and a few others leave the medical office of Dr. Bethany Blue as they all go on lunch break. Goldstein pushes the door open, the door auto locks when you shut it and Alexis and everybody takes off.)
(A hand catches the door from the side. It turns out it was Kassidy Heart hiding on the side of the wall and she stops it from closing. She makes sure the coast is clear before entering the office.)
(Kassidy flicks on the lights next to her, and it looks like the typical doctor’s office. It has a wall full of her accomplishments. It has a picture of her winning the Interwire Championship. It shows before and after pictures of Terry Chambers. It displays her PhD, and photos with her pitching trying to help fight the spread of COVID-19.)
(Kassidy then heads around the receptionist’s desk.)
Kassidy Heart: Alright, Bethany’s file with her information has gotta be here somewhere.
(Kassidy searches through several things but is hanging no luck. Until she opens a yellow folder and stops still. She begins to smile as she starts reading through it.)
Kassidy Heart: Alright. Bethany…I’ll see you late tonight!
(The camera then fades to black, before opening to a recap of last week’s show.)
(A recap of last week’s episode is shown as a heated exchange between Bethany Blue and Kassidy Heart opened the show where Bethany Blue would go on to decline the challenge of Kassidy Heart, who seems to have set her sights on where the condo of Alexis Chambers and Bethany Blue is. In the first match of the night, Kid Ohio would shock the world as he took on the Interwire Championship number one contender in James Ranger and managed to come out victorious much to the shock of the EAW fans and even Justin Windgate and Consuela Rose Ava themselves. We would transition into an interview with Harlow Reichert who would reaffirm that her business with Andrea Valentine is far from over and she plans on dealing with her after Road to Redemption. Harlow then made it very clear that she has her sights set on the Specialists Championship when she competes in the Extreme Elimination Chamber in a few weeks. We then saw the tag team debut of Chained Fury aka Ronan Malosi and Ryan Wilson who would go on to dismantle The Woogieman who received absolutely no help from his tag team partner in Strawberry Steve who was more focused on Among Us than the match. Afterwards, Chained Fury would call out The Realm and even invite them to their own talk show “The Rated R&R Show.” Lucas Johnson and Albert Hitchman would then be seen displaying some more cracks in the foundation between the two before Lucas would get his head on straight and made an absolute statement against Mr. Business. After the match, we’d then see a brawl break out between Bashar Jackson, Maxwell, and Lucas Johnson. Before being interrupted by the Showdown Consultant Alissa Brady who would go on to announce an elimination match between all three brands at Road to Redemption with all four men being announced as participants. After that, we’d see a disappointed James Ranger being consoled by Consuela Rose Ava after his loss. Consuela would go on to let James know that she plans on giving James the fight of his life at Road to Redemption and she expects no different. Justin Windgate would later go on to butt in and reaffirm that he feels he’s walking out champion come Road to Redemption. The segment would close on James announcing that the doubters only fuel him to be better. Next up, we had an Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifying match between SKA and Bronson Daniels that would go up in smoke as both men were counted out. Alissa Brady would once again make her presence known on the show, however, and announce that both men will be in the EEC. Jack Ripley had an interview next where he announces to all his EEC competitors that he doesn’t plan on making the same mistakes that he did last year in the match and that Road to Redemption will finally be his time to win the big one. We then went on to our main event of the evening and in a hard fought match, Andrea Valentine would be victorious over a very game Jon Kelton. Andrea looked to unleash her frustrations after the match on Jon Kelton even more before Jamie O’Hara would make the save and send Andrea Valentine into retreat. Or so we thought as Andrea would blindside the Answers World Champion and lay him out for the world to see with assistance from a steel chair. As after the beatdown, Andrea Valentine would proceed to raise the Answers World Title of Jamie in the air and perhaps signal what’s to come at Road to Redemption as the recap ends.)
(RECAP END.)
(The camera pans into the arena as “Set it Off” by Uncontainable plays and the pyro shoots off in blue and white colors on the stage. It pans around the World 1 Theatre and sees the virtual fans excited for the show to begins before panning over to the trip of Eve, Gavin Kirkland, and Deadprez.)
Eve: WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO ANOTHER EDITION OF SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!!
Deadprez: We’re on the fast track to Road to Redemption, and the chamber match on the Showdown side is set! Tonight, we have a preview match between Jamie O’Hara and SKA! And then we have Consuela Rose Ava taking on Sierra Bradford in a Champion vs Champion showcase later on tonight!
Eve: And speaking of Jamie O’Hara….
(‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin blasts through the speakers as the virtual crowd pops for Jamie O’Hara, who is more than ready to compete in the main event tonight. The Answers World Championship is draped on his shoulder. He has a big grin on his face as he makes his way down the ring.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, ‘THE ACE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING’ … JAMIE O’HARA!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: We are beginning this edition of Showdown in the best note possible! Despite Jamie finding himself on the receiving end of a beating by Andrea Valentine, he seems to be in high spirits tonight. Maybe, the holiday season got the best of him or maybe, that he’s going to be a father within the next few weeks!
Eve: There were rumors that Jamie would be opening the show to talk about Road to Redemption. There’s no doubt that the rest of the competitors will be listening to what he’s saying.
Deadprez: Whatever Jamie O’Hara has to say, it should ignite the motivation of the rest of the participants in this Chamber.
(The camera pans to Jamie O’Hara already in the ring. He gets the microphone from Gina Romano, who takes her cue to exit the ring. ‘Kashmir’ dies down as the virtual crowd continues to show Jamie with love and adoration.)
Jamie O’Hara: First of all, I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine ended in a chaotic brawl with a bunch of healthy Thanksgiving food being thrown around after talking shit about my wife’s support for shitty football teams with her sister’s boyfriend. But, I guess, it was kinda fun, but Cameron did vow that we’re hosting Thanksgiving next year, so we’ll see how that pans out, but after reminding her that she needs to be calm for the baby, she got over it. We bought donuts afterwards and it was fine. But, enough about my Thanksgiving, let’s shift of focus towards Road to Redemption.
(Jamie O’Hara shifts from a festive mood to back to business. We stan a serious Ace.)
Jamie O’Hara: As I look around the list of competitors in this match, all I have to wonder is: is there any reason for me to be intimidated by the competition in this Chamber? Is there a reason why I shouldn’t look at this Chamber like it was 2017, where I stood tall as the record breaking World Heavyweight Champion? It’s 2020 and this is the third time in my career where I walk in as the World Champion. The last two times I entered the Chamber, I walked out STILL with my championship. I walk out as the best that this company has to offer. Now, what makes people think that’s supposed to be different this time around? In a few weeks, I’ll be hearing their motivations. I’ll be hearing their ‘whys’ to why they want to be Answers World Champion. I’ll be hearing about why it’s their time to make something of themselves and take this Answers World Championship from my hands. What is going to make this time different from all of the other opportunities that they’ve been blessed with in their career? What’s going to make mediocre talents like Bronson Daniels and SKA believe that Road to Redemption is going to their moment to stand out of the pack and do something for themselves? What’s going to make ‘old heads’ like Jon Kelton believe that they can even step in the same ring as me? What is going to make men like Jack Ripley, who had a piss poor showing in last year’s Chamber, make this time any different? What is he going to do to make sure that he’s going to do the unthinkable and throw me off my throne? What’s going to make women, who never had to push their own weight around like Andrea Valentine, going to do to make the ultimate statement?
Jamie O’Hara: Andrea Valentine can believe that she made that ultimate statement on Showdown last week. She didn’t stop at defeating Jon Kelton. She needed to keep going. She needed to continue sending a message to me. She wanted me to watch personally what would happen if the two of us crossed paths in the Chamber. The ol’ cliche ‘this is what will happen to you at Road to Redemption.’ It’s supposed to intimidate me. It’s supposed to make me think that my reign COULD come to an end. Most importantly, it’s supposed to make heated over her attack on me. Am I heated about the attack? Yeah, nah. I commend Andrea for making a point, but I’m not the type of man that you should be pissing off in the Chamber. I’m not the type of man that you should be pissing off, period. At the same time, it intrigues me. I was waiting for any of these cunts to step up to the task and take me down. It takes balls to do what Andrea did last week. She took me down. She planted me with my own championship and I’ve been sitting around, watching all of these cunts and wondering: when are things going to get interesting with all of us? I want to feel excitement, but it doesn’t help that a good chunk of the Elitists in this match, are not experienced in this type of environment. SKA, Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton will be stepping into the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the first time of their careers. These three are being given the biggest opportunities of their careers. For the sake of Bronson and Jon, it seems like a consultation prize for their efforts at Reasonable Doubt. For SKA, does anyone know WHY he’s in the match? I’m sorry, mate, but all of these reasonings look the same to me. :mjgrin:
Jamie O’Hara: You have Jack Ripley, who I had already defeated back in August at Midsummer Massacre, had his opportunity taken away from him, but was given this spot in the Chamber. You have Andrea, who was placed in the Chamber because it ‘needed star power,’ like the name ‘Jamie fucking O’Hara’ wasn’t enough of a star alone, but I digress. Looking into this match. You have me, the pinnacle of this business at the top. You have your main eventers who’ve fallen from grace, your mid carders who are looking to make that jump to the main event and whatever the fuck SKA is supposed to be. I look at all these names and I’m not impressed by them. I’m not looking to be the bearer of badness, but I speak uncomfortable truths. I’ve been reigning as Answers World Champion since Pain for Pride. Reasonable Doubt should have been the event where I got dethroned, but I took the two of the best on Showdown plus Jake Smith and proved to everyone that it doesn’t matter if it’s one, two, or three dumb cunts, the same results stands each time – me, still Answers World Champion. Now, it’s it supposed to be different just because there’s FIVE opponents placed in front of me? Yeah, nah; I am going to conquer at Road to Redemption and all you cunts are going down in the Chamber!
(‘Roll With Me’ by Charli XCX plays through the speakers, cutting off Jamie O’Hara, who looks at Andrea Valentine with a brow raised. Andrea is looking quite sassy tonight as she already has a microphone in her possession. Her music dies down as she makes it down the ramp, but begins talking anyway.)
Andrea Valentine: Wow, if Jamie O’Hara says that we’re all going down in the Chamber, it must be so because since whatever Jamie says, it’s the absolute truth. 😌
(Andrea Valentine steps inside the ring. She stands across from Jamie O’Hara, who looks at her with a serious look on his face.)
Andrea Valentine: I don’t know about you, but I was more than waiting for this entire Chamber anticipation to begin. If you weren’t going to do anything about it, might as well make things a tad bit interesting. There are multiple reasons for why I continued my attack on Jon Kelton, but I knew that you were at ringside, Jamie and I thought that I would make your trip to ringside worth your while. One of the biggest reasons for my attack on Jon and then, for attacking you was quite simple: I was making a point. I was making the point that I shouldn’t be messed with going into this match. If there is any other person in this match who was going to take the initiative of sending a message to every other Elitist in the Chamber, it might as well be me. I mean, it’s about time that someone got you on the edge of your seat, Jamie. It was about time that someone from this Chamber had the guts to take you down and solidify their claim for your championship. You just didn’t expect it from me, right? Oh no, ‘sweet Andrea would never put Jamie O’Hara down!’ But, things have changed. People have changed and going into this Chamber, I can assure you that it’s going to be a completely different version of me. From the attack at the hands of me, I do not believe that you’re quite ready for whatever I am going to dish out at Road to Redemption. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that I am going into the match with guns blazing and my sights set on the Answers World Championship. Last year, I surprised everyone by dethroning Charlie Marr and becoming EAW Champion. The year before, I captured the Specialists Championship. My record in Chamber match speaks for itself and I can assure you that this little Chamber winning streak of mine is going to continue at Road to Redemption when I take that Answers World Championship from you —
(‘BxMxC’ by BABYMETAL plays through the speakers, cutting off Andrea Valentine, who rolls her eyes as Jack Ripley comes out with a microphone already in his hands. His entrance music dies down, but he’s still talking. Meanwhile, Andrea and Jamie are more than willing to hear him out.)
Jack Ripley: Since, the bigger threats in the match are already here, I might as well get my words across.
(Jack Ripley steps inside the ring and looks across from Jamie O’Hara and Andrea Valentine.)
Jack Ripley: Honestly, if there is anyone who should be surprised that they were placed in this match, it’s me. I had my sights set on getting a shot at the Interwire Championship, but my minor ankle injury had different plans for me. It was tough to see James Ranger walk away with an opportunity that I always believed that I had in the bag. It was tough to sit out of the Reasonable Doubt card and watch everyone else compete and justify their chances of getting in the Road to Redemption card, but Ryan Wilson managed to put me into ease by making me the first Elitist to be part of this Extreme Elimination Chamber. When one door closes, another one opens. It seems to be the case here. I’m glad that I was one of the first names that Ryan Wilson had in mind for this match. I’m fortunate to find myself in the Extreme Elimination Chamber for a second year in a row. Last year, my performance in the Chamber was something that I wasn’t quite proud of. I look at the match and I always felt like I could have done more. I could have done something that would have made my run in the Chamber last longer, but sadly, I will never figure out that would be exactly. Going into this year, I do have some experience on my side, but it’s not like the experience that you have, Jamie. You are still someone, who I wasn’t completely through with at Midsummer Massacre. I am looking to step into the ring with you and prove that I am more than good enough to take that Answers World Championship off of you. The one person I am looking to defeat at Road to Redemption is you. I know, I’m capable of defeating you, Jamie. I know, I can do the unthinkable and win my very first World Championship. You’ve been resting quite nicely on top, but it’s time for me to take it from here. Not only will I defeat you, but I will right the wrong not only at last year’s Chamber, but at Midsummer Massacre.
Andrea Valentine: That’s a nice little speech, you have there, Jack. Now, who won the Chamber you took part of last year? Oh yeah, that’s me. 🥰 It’s great that you’re focused on Jamie and all, but you still gotta worry about me. If you cross me, I will take you down just like I took down Jon and Jamie.
Jack Ripley: Are you more than willing to put that to the test?
(The crowd cheers for the potential match up of Andrea Valentine versus Jack Ripley.)
???: You think that those two are the bigger threats in the match, Jack?
(SKA comes out with a microphone in his hands. He has an intense look on his face as he looks towards the three Elitists already inside the ring.)
SKA: I shouldn’t be shocked that I am going to be the one Elitist in the match that people tend to overlook, but don’t they know that those that fail at history are doomed to repeat it? Coming into Showdown, people always believed that I wasn’t going to break out of the pack. Ryan Wilson was the one who wanted me to be a part of Showdown and I figured that my luck will turn upside down. Instead, I became the butt of everyone’s joke. People tend to talk down on me due to my use of EAW’s history. People tend to talk down on a man, who actually is able to provide research and facts, something that people normally complain that their opponents don’t do these days and when they do, people try to twist things around and call me someone who is obsessed with the past. I’m nothing more than someone that ‘needs to focus on the present.’ There’s nothing terrible with coming into each match, knowing who I am dealing with. There’s nothing wrong with using EAW history to point out the flaws and facts about my opponents. I like seeing them make excuses for their past. I like seeing them surprised that they’re stepping inside the ring with someone, who knows what they are talking about. Going into this Chamber, it intrigues me because I’ll be stepping into the ring with men and women, all coming from different backgrounds and roads to get to where we are today. There’s no doubt that EAW’s history will be a factor going into Road to Redemption. I’m aware that Jamie is one of the few men in this company to walk into the Chamber with all the World Championships at least once. I’m aware that Andrea has won back-to-back Chambers. I know that Jack was the first eliminated from the Voltage Chamber last year. Experience may be on all of your sides, but on my side, it’s knowledge. It’s looking back at past wrestling tapes, being aware of the psychology that you’ve brought to your matches and knowing where to hurt you.
(SKA looks over to Jamie O’Hara, his opponent tonight.)
SKA: And, you’ll see that when I defeat you tonight, Jamie. After that, everyone should see that I’m not the butt of the joke, but one of the threats going into the match.
???: Blah, blah, blah, blah…
(The crowd begins to pop for the obvious voice of Bronson Daniels booming onto the stage. Bronson stands on the stage with a microphone in his hand. Bronson makes his way down the ramp as all the other Elitists inside the ring look at what he is planning to say.)
Bronson Daniels: SKA, shut up. You never make any sense, so let me come here to provide some sense to whatever the hell you were saying. Come on, guys; am I the only one who just looks at SKA confused at whatever he’s saying? Nothing that comes out of SKA’s mouth makes sense. Normally, there may be people who are able to be manipulated by SKA’s speeches, but I’m not one of those people. I can see SKA and realize that he is everything wrong with the business – selfish, bad attitude, entitled and most importantly, full of shit. You’re the same person, who thinks that they can ‘reset’ their career and believe that they will change something around here. It’s more of Lucas Johnson last year, who got his ass beat by Xander Payne, took like two months off and believed that he was a better version of himself. By the end of the month, he was back to doing nothing. It’s the same thing that’s going to happen to you, SKA. After this Extreme Elimination Chamber, you’ll go back to doing nothing because you are nothing. At least with me, I did something with myself. I won the New Breed Championship at Pain for Pride. Meanwhile, you were busy coming in second in the 24/7 Battle Royal. Yeah, things have been up and down for me, but who’s career hasn’t been like that? Maybe, look back at the EAW history and you’ll see that every other Elitists has been through the same up and down route as me at some point.
(Bronson Daniels takes his eyes off of SKA and onto the other competitors in the Extreme Elimination Chamber.)
Bronson Daniels: Now, onto bigger fish to fry. There’s no denying that the three of you are going to be the main targets going into the match. Despite Jack, having a history of losing World Championship matches and coming so short from winning any other important match, he is apparently someone that I need to keep my eye on. We’ll see about that, but from what I learned from our encounter a few weeks leading up to Reasonable Doubt, all I need to do is keep Jack out of my way long enough to get some eliminations and if it comes down to him and I, it seems like it will be like our last confrontation and it will be me standing tall. As for Andrea, I don’t think that we’ve crossed paths yet, but if what you did to Kelton last week is proof that you are the woman that we all gotta keep an eye for, then, I will be looking forward to the smoke that you got for me, but let’s not forget that since the beginning of the season began, you’ve fallen from the EAW Champion that you were last season. You are no longer the same woman that you were before and at Road to Redemption, you’ll fall flat on your face again. And, Jamie, The Ace, the standard of this company, I may not be like SKA, who is constantly doing research on you, hoping to find a weakness out of you, but I’ve proven that everything you touch really doesn’t turn to gold. Jalyn Garcia may have had you as some sort of teacher, but the one thing that you really should have taught him was anyone was capable to dethrone him as New Breed Champion. Even someone was ‘mediocre’ as me —
???: I’ve let all of you get your words in, but it’s my turn.
(The last man in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, Jon Kelton walks out with a microphone in his hand. He heads down the ring as he scouts the competition already inside the ring.)
Jon Kelton: Now, I’ve been in the back. I’ve let everyone get their words across. It was quite interesting to hear everyone’s reasons for why they believe that they will become Answers World Champion, but I’ve seen on social media. I’ve heard people’s comments and there’s not many people who think that Jon Kelton has it in him to pull off the upset and shock the world by capturing the World Championship. People think that they already think that they know what exactly is going to happen at Road to Redemption. Jamie’s a big favorite in retaining his title. It’s what he’s done each time that he’s walked into a Chamber as World Champion. Or maybe, Andrea will finally get out of that rough patch that she’s been in the past few months and win her third Extreme Elimination Chamber in a row. Trust me, it’s not going to be SKA, who fails to deliver on his promises. It’s not going to be Bronson Daniels, who isn’t prepared for what this Extreme Elimination Chamber has in store for him. It’s not certainly not going to be Jack Ripley, who goes from being inconsistent-consistent non-factor going into this match. Perhaps, it’s going to be one of the dark horses going into the match. Perhaps, it’s going to be a man who made his return just a few weeks before Pain for Pride and managed to win the 24/7 Battle Royal. Maybe, it’s going to be a man who has main evented Showdown three times this season. Maybe, it’s going to be me. It’s not something that people should be counting out on. People can say things about how I lost the 24/7 contract to Justin at Reasonable Doubt and I know, that it’s going to be a talking point when you all can’t seen to find anything else to talk about me, but just envision how it lit a fire underneath me. It motivated me to make sure that I did not fade in the background. The Extreme Elimination Chamber will be a true test that Jon Kelton is never going to be the one to fade into the background and he’s more than prepared to take on anyone in this match —
Gavin Kirkland: JON KELTON WITH A PUNCH TO SKA AS THAT SENDS SKA BACK! BRONSON DANIELS SHOVES JACK RIPLEY, WHO ENDS UP KNOCKING OVER JAMIE O’HARA IN THE PROCESS!!!! ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE HERE BETWEEN THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER PARTICIPANTS!!!!
(Andrea Valentine, being the smart queen, rolls out of the ring and away from all the action. She goes up the ramp to watch everything unfold. Meanwhile, Jamie O’Hara rolls out of the ring, feeling the need to have all of the competitors just rip each other apart before he makes some sort of statement.)
Eve: Bronson Daniels manages to get Jack Ripley, but Jack Ripley shoves Bronson away from him, but Bronson comes after him with a Gunsmoke — spinning roundhouse kick, but Jack Ripley manages to duck! Daylight Slaying Time — the running knee strike to the skull of Bronson as that knocks him down to his knees! Jack gets Bronson before throwing him shoulder against the ring post!
Deadprez: Meanwhile, SKA seems to be getting the upper hand on Jon Kelton, who takes him down with a corkscrew dropkick! SKA manages to get Jon up to his feet before getting Jon up to his shoulders! It seems like SKA is going for the Nähdään taas, but Jon manages to slide off the shoulders of SKA! Code of Silence — the spinning heel kick takes down the bigger man! But, what in the hell? SKA manages to fall to his knees as he’s looking at Jon Kelton! Jon connects with a giant knee strike to the skull of SKA, but SKA manages to catch Jon’s knee, pushing it away from him! SKA gets back to his feet before connecting with an OUCH – rolling elbow on ‘The Chosen One!’
Gavin Kirkland: YOU’LL FLOAT TOO ON SKA BY JACK RIPLEY! AND YOU’LL FLOAT TOO ON JON KELTON! BRONSON DANIELS COMES AT JACK AGAIN, BUT HE ALSO EATS A YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!!! JACK RIPLEY IS THE ONLY MAN STANDING IN THIS MATCH! COULD THIS BE A FORESHADOWING OF WHAT WE CAN EXPECT AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION?!??!
Eve: IN EXCELSIS BY JAMIE O’HARA TAKES DOWN JACK RIPLEY!!!!! WHERE IN THE HELL DID JAMIE O’HARA COME FROM!?!?!
Deadprez: He was looking on at ringside, waiting for his moment to strike. It’s something that we can expect from him going into this Extreme Elimination Chamber. He is the man to beat. He is the man that everyone needs to keep an eye on going into this match.
(Jamie O’Hara looks around the bodies down all around the ring as he raises his Answers World Championship above his head. The scene fades.)
(A commercial for skin care featuring Jake Smith. He has acne.)
(Showdown opens back up with Gina Romano standing in the center of he ring.)
( The instrumental of “I Prevail” by Bow Down blasts through the speaker to a mixed reaction from the virtual crowd. Ryan Wilson and Ronan Malosi jerk the curtains and step onto the entranceway. They scan the atmosphere before marching down towards and into the squared circle together. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!! ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE SHOWDOWN GENERAL MANAGER RYAN WILSON… From Cape Town, South Africa, weighing in at 280 pounds… HE IS ONE-HALF OF CHAINED FURY.. THE HOT TAKE KING… RONNNNNANNNNNNNN MALLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOSIIIIIIIIII!!
Eve: We are less than two weeks away from when Chained Fury get the opportunity to vye for the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships. These two individuals, Ryan Wilson and Ronan Malosi have been fighting for months on end and tonight, they are best friends and they are a relentless pursuit for tag team championship gold. This is a somewhat similar situation of The Wildcards, don’t you think?
Deadprez: Especially, like Xander Payne and Myles before The Wildcards was formed, both individuals had an astronomical amount of hate for each other. When The Wildcards were put together by Veena Adams, their hatred grew into a friendship that led them to sharing the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions… Will this happen with Ryan Wilson and Ronan Malosi? Will they be able to work as a well-oiled machine and obtain EAW Unified Tag Team Championship gold on their first attempt? We’ll see in two weeks time.
( Ryan Wilson gives Ronan Malosi a pep talk in one corner of the ring while “Jet Set Run” by Yuki Hayashi echoes throughout the World 1 Theatre. The virtual crowd responds with a huge positive reception as The EAW Unified Tag Team Champions makes their way down the aisle. )
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY ONE-HALF OF THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS SIERRA BRADFORD.. From Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 118 pounds… SHE IS ONE-HALF OF THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… THE INVINCIBLE…. HARRRRPERRRR LEEEEEE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OF COURSE IT WILL HAPPEN!! Have you seen our current EAW Unified Tag Team Champions? They drench of semen… They are stinking of fish freshly caught off the atlantic.. They should be in the kitchen instead of out here as the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions.. Ronan Malosi and Ryan Wilson are the greatest wrestlers to ever step into the ring and they are for sure going to be the tag champs once Road To Redemption is done and over with!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Eve: This match is officially underway as Harper Lee, one-half of the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions, stands across the squared circle from one-half of The Realm’s challengers at Road To Redemption, Ronan Malosi. Both individuals have been chomping at the bits to stand face-to-face and they get the opportunity to do before their championship match two weeks from now! Harper is looking for a collar-and-elbow tie-up as Ronan Malosi just stands and laughs at her! Ronan doesn’t believe that she’s actually proposing a collar-and-elbow tie-up as he and Wilson are just laughing at her expense!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER LEE CLOCKS MY HOT TAKE KING WITH THE RIGHT FIST!! THE DRAGON FIST CONNECTS AS RONAN MALOSI PLOPS DOWN LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES!! HARPER GOES DOWN FOR THE COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
T-
Deadprez: RONAN MALOSI QUICKLY POWERS OUT AT ONE!! RONAN IS OUT ON HIS STOMACH AND LOOKS AT THE REFEREE IN AWE AS HARPER LEE QUICKLY USES HIS BACK AS A LAUNCHING PAD!! SHE POPS UP INTO THE AIR AND DRIVES HER FEET INTO THE BACK OF THE HOT TAKE KING!! THE STEP UP DOUBLE FOOT STOMP DRIVES RONAN FACE FIRST INTO THE CANVAS AS HARPER PROCEEDS TO RUN AND LEAP ONTO THE SECOND ROPE!! AND SOARS DOWN ONTO RONAN MALOSI WITH A SECOND-ROPE MOONSAULT!! SHE HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER!! THIS COULD BE IT!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!TW-
Eve: KICK-OUT YET AGAIN!! Ronan Malosi is being overwhelmed right out of this gates in this match as he gets up to his feet! Harper continues the fast-pace offense as he nails and peppers him with quick jabs and strikes to the upper body! HARPER WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK BEFORE SPINNING AROUND TO BLAST THE HOT TAKE KING WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI!! BUT RONAN GRABS HER FOOT IN MID-AIR AND TRANSITIONS IT RIGHT INTO THE ANKLE LOCK!! THE ANKLE LOCK IS CINCHED IN THE CORNER OF THE RING BEFORE HARPER TWISTS AND SENDS HIM FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES!
Deadprez: Ronan stumbles through the ropes, but he is able to quickly recover and hop onto the apron! HARPER SHOOTS UP OFF THE CANVAS AND INTO THE AIR!! AND NAILS RONAN IN THE MUSHER WITH A FRONT DROPKICK!! A PRECISION DROPKICK TO THE FACE AS RONAN SPLATTERS DOWN ONTO THE RINGSIDE AREA AND REELS INTO THE BARRICADE!!! THE INVINCIBLE HARPER LEE IS NOW RUNNING THE ROPES!! HERE COMES HARPER LEE!! TOPE SUICIDA ONTO MALOSI!! MALOSI GOES CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE AS SHE NOW GRABS A HANDFUL OF HIS TIGHTS AND SLIDES HIM INTO THE RING!! HARPER LEE IS COMPLETELY BODYING THE HOT TAKE KING!! WHAT IS THIS DISPLAY OF DOMINATION HERE BY ONE-HALF OF THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS??
Eve: This is a reason why she is a champion in the first place! She has what it takes to take the role and play it perfectly, and she’s proving it as she is completely overwhelming an individual that is ten times larger than her. Harper has now fully inserted Ronan back into the squared circle as she slides in- RYAN WILSON FROM BEHIND GRABS HARPER’S FOOT!! HARPER PULLS HERSELF OUT TO CONFRONT HIM AS RYAN IS PLAYING DISTRACTION!! RONAN MALOSI QUICKLY RECUPERATES AND GETS UP TO HIS FEET!! HE STICKS HIS LEFT FOOT BENEATH THE THIRD ROPE AND SMASHES HARPER LEE RIGHT IN THE JAW WITH A KICK!! A KICK TO THE FACE!! I THINK I JUST SAW SOME SPIT FLYING RIGHT OUT OF THE QUOTE-UNQUOTE, UNBREAKABLE HARPER LEE!!
Gavin Kirkland: Our sensational general manager just distracted Harper Lee and opened the window of opportunity for Ronan Malosi to get his head back in the game. That is how great he is! Ryan Wilson’s ring IQ is unmatched and believe me when I say this, Chained Fury is levels above The Realm in the mental game. Ronan takes his sweet time to bring Harper into the ring while he trash talks Sierra in the process! That’s what you get you little bitch!
Deadprez: Ronan Malosi steps through the ropes and grabs ahold of Harp- HARPER WITH A KICK TO THE CROWN OF RONAN’S HEAD!! HARPER WITH AN UPWARD KICK AS SHE WAS OUT ON HER BACK!! Ronan is momentarily staggered as Harper gets up to her feet and rebounds off the turnbuckles! SHE SPRINTS TOWARDS THE HOT TAKE KING!! RONAN DASHES PAST HER, SLIDES BENEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, CIRCLES THE RINGPOST, AND SLIDES BACK IN!! HE BOLTS TOWARDS THE DIRECTION OF HARPER!! AND TAKES HER HEAD OFF WITH A LARIAT!!
Eve: HARPER LEE WITH AN EVASION ROLL!! SHE ROLLED OUT OF HARM’S WAY!! RONAN TURNS AROUND AND GETS CLOCKED WITH A BICYCLE KICK!! RONAN IS STUNNED AS HARPER LEE CIRCLES AROUND HIS WAIST AND JUMPS ONTO THE BACK OF HIS NECK!! INVERTED FRANKENSTEINER!! NO!! RONAN HOLDS ONTO HARPER AS SHE’S DANGLING UPSIDE DOWN FROM THE NECK OF MALOSI!! MALOSI THROWS HER DOWN WITH AN INVERTED ALABAMA SLAM!!! AMAZING FEAT OF STRENGTH DISPLAYED BY THE HOT TAKE KING AS HE QUICKLY ROLLS HER OVER FOR HIS FIRST RECORDED PIN FALL THUS FAR IN THIS MATCH!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOO-
Deadprez: KICK-OUT!! Sierra Bradford is worried at ringside while Ryan Wilson is cheering his tag team partner on! Ronan is carrying out a ground-and-pound assault on one-half of the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions! Punch after punch rain down onto the head of Harper Lee as Ronan now grabs her tights and deadlifts her off the canvas! AND SPIKES HER BACK DOWN WITH A DEADLIFT VERTICAL SUPLEX!! RONAN MALOSI WITH ANOTHER IMPRESSIVE FEAT OF STRENGTH!! Ronan quickly goes for the cover!

RONAN WITH A KNEE INTO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE IRISH WHIPPING HARPER INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER!! HARPER COLLIDES AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES AND WALKS INTO THE DIRECTION OF RONAN!! RONAN POPS HER UP INTO THE AIR!! POP-UP BODY TOS!! NO!! HARPER LEE MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET AND JUMP UP ONTO THE BACK OF RONAN’S HEAD!! INVERTED FRANKENSTEINER!! HARPER MANAGES TO FLIP HIM OVER WITH THE HEADSCISSORS AND DRILL HIS SKULL INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH THE INVERTED FRANKENSTEINER!!
Deadprez: Ronan is able to immediately recover though as he is one one knee! HARPER REALIZES THIS AND COMES FROM BEHIND!! SHE HOOKS BOTH ARMS FROM BEHIND!! RONAN IS SUBCONSCIOUS AS HARPER USES EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY IN HER BODY!! AND DRILLS THE HOT TAKE KING WITH THE SNAPDRAGON SUPLEX!! HARPER WITH THE LEE-PLEX AS SHE QUICKLY HOVERS OVER FOR THE COVER!! RYAN WILSON IS PANICKING AT RINGSIDE!!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
T-
Gavin Kirkland: THE HOT TAKE KING POPS HIS SHOULDER UP AT TWO!! YES!! GOOD JOB RONAN!!! Harper Lee almost had him there as she’s now signalling to go to the heights! Harper begins to step through the ropes and ascend the turnbuckles! If she is able to connect with her patented 450 splash! It could be lights out for Ronan Malosi! BUT I KNOW RONAN MALOSI WILL BE ABLE TO FIGHT THROUGH WHATEVER COMES NEXT!! I KNOW HE WILL! HE IS SIMPLY THE GREATEST OF ALL THE TIME!! THE FISH IS NOW PERCHED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!
Eve: RYAN WILSON JUMPS ONTO THE APRON AND YELLS AT HARPER!! HARPER JUMPS INTO THE RING TO GET HIM OFF THE APRON!! RYAN HOPS OFF AT THE LAST SECOND AS RONAN COMES FROM BEHIND AND ROLLS HARPER UP INTO A SCHOOL-BOY COVER!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!! THIS COULD BE IT!!

RONAN DUCKS THE KICK!! AND HITS HER WITH A THUMB TO THE EYES! THUMB TO THE EYES TEMPORARILY BLINDS HER VISION AS RONAN NOW HOOKS HER UP!! FOR THE GORILLA PRESS BACKSTABBER!! HE LIFTS HER UP INTO THE AIR AND DROPS HER DOWN!!
Deadprez: BUT HARPER MANAGES TO ADAPT IN MID-AIR AND DROP THE HOT TAKE KING WITH A DDT!! HARPER WITH AN IMPECCABLE TIMED COUNTER AS RONAN MALOSI IS DOWN!! RONAN MALOSI’S LIGHTS HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF AS HARPER LEE FLIPPED THE SWITCH WITH THAT DDT!! Harper Lee gradually gets up to her feet whereas Ryan Wilson and Sierra Bradford are exchanging words at ringside! Both individuals are standing face-to-face, barking insults at each other as Harper Lee’s eyes open up to the prospect of it! HARPER RUNS THE ROPES AND SHOOTS THROUGH THE SKIES!!! TOPE SUICIDA!!
Eve: BUT HARPER COLLIDES WITH HER TAG TEAM PARTNER!! THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS BUMP INTO EACH OTHER AS SHE CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! RYAN WILSON PULLED SIERRA IN THE LAST SECOND AND SAW IT COMING!! THE OTHER HALF OF THE TAG TEAM PARTNER IS DOWN-AND-OUT AS HARPER QUICKLY GETS BACK INTO THE RING!! AND WALKS RIGHT INTO THE DEATH-RO!! THE LIFTED REVERSE STO CONNECTS COURTESY OF RONAN WILSON AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER! THIS IS IT FOR SURE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEE
Deadprez: HARPER LEE POPS HER SHOULDER UP!! Ronan can’t believe it!! Both members of The Realm are down-and-out here as Ronan Malosi is up on his feet! He is impatiently waiting in the corner as Harper is slowly getting up to her feet! She is like a turtle at this point!

AND CONNECTS WITH THE BACKSTABBER!! QUEEN OF THE FALL CONNECTS AS SHE GINGERLY ROLLS HIM OVER FOR THE COVER!! THIS IS IT!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: RYAN WILSON PULLS THE REFEREE OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!! HARPER LEE HAD THIS VICTORY IN THE BAG, BUT RYAN WILSON SPOILS IT AND TAKES THE REFEREE OUT OF THE SQUARED CIRCLE!! THE REFEREE IS IN THE FACE OF RYAN, BUT THE OFFICIAL CAN’T DO JACKSHIT TO THE GENERAL MANAGER!! HE CAN’T KICK HIM OUT OF RINGSIDE! HE CAN’T DO ANYTHING!! THAT IS WHAT ALLOWS RYAN WILSON TO DO WHAT HE DOES!! HARPER LEE IS FRUSTRATED AND APOPLECTIC AS RYAN WILSON IS DEMANDING FOR THE REFEREE TO GET BACK INTO THE SQUARED CIRCLE!!
Deadprez: RIGHT AS THE REFEREE GETS INTO THE RING, SIERRA BRADFORD JUMPS OFF THE STEEL STEPS AND ONTO RYAN WILSON!! SHE IS UNLEASHING A CAN OF WHOOP ASS ONTO THE GENERAL MANAGER AS BOTH INDIVIDUALS GET UP TO THEIR FEET AND BEGIN TO EXCHANGE STRIKES AS THEY GET UP THE RAMP!! SIERRA BRADFORD IS FIGHTING THE PRESENCE OF RYAN WILSON OFF AS RONAN MALOSI IS PISSED OFF! RONAN MALOSI IS COMPLETELY AGGRAVATED AS HARPER NOW ROLLS HIM UP FROM BEHIND!! OH NO!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: RONAN SOMEHOW KICKS OUT!! NOW HARPER LEE WITH A YAKUZA KICK TO THE MUSHER!! RONAN IS STAGGERED AS THE INVINCIBLE HARPER LEE NOW JUMPS AND LEAPS ONTO THE BACK OF RONAN MALOSI!! BACKSTABBER CONNECTS!! NO!! RONAN CLOCKED HER WITH AN EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THE SECOND SHE JUMPED UP FOR THE BACKSTABBER!!

( DING! DING! DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….HHAARRRPPEERRR LLLEEEEEE!!!!!
( “Jet Set Run” by Yuki Hayashi hits to a huge ovation from the crowd as Harper Lee gingerly gets up to her feet and gets her arm raised by the referee as Ronan is down-and-out in the center of the ring. Harper Lee brandishes a huge smile on her face while stepping through the ropes and making her way towards the backstage. Ronan Malosi seen gaining consciousness as he rejects the referee’s assistance and pushes him away. He is seen frustrated as he gets a tantrum at ringside. )
Eve: Harper Lee with a well-earned victory tonight on Showdown, may I say, she fought hard to get that! Harper Lee proved yet again why she is one-half of The EAW Unified Tag Team Champions and she gains momentum over The Realm’s challengers as we head into Road To Redemption.
Deadprez: Chained Fury on the other hand? For sure, Ronan Malosi and Ryan Wilson will not take this loss lightly. These two have a history of being short with people and who knows what will be in store for the tag team champions next week! For sure, there will be hell to pay! Congratulations to The Realm, but Ronan Malosi looks like he’s got some dangerous intentions in mine for next week!
(The camera pans backstage. Where we see Maxwell standing in casual attire.)
Maxwell: People are always wondering where I’m going to go next. People are always wondering when am I going to take that next step in my career. I can admit things haven’t gone my way the past few months since I decided to come back, but I can promise you that Maxwell will rise up the Showdown ranks. It starts with small baby step after baby step. I took a step with that victory over Lucas Johnson. I am now in this “Elimination” match at Road to Redemption where we don’t even know what the prize is going to be, but I’m here to say it doesn’t matter. Winning that match is jus taking the next step for me in the right direction when we head into the new year. I’m here to let everybody know that I’m done taking a backseat to anybody on this roster. I’m done waiting for opportunities, because it’s time I go out there and I grab opportunity by the throat and there’s only one way to do it which is making the best of this bad situation I’m in competing against several dudes across all three brands who are NO MATCH for somebody of my talents. I guess Mr. Business couldn’t cut the mustard after the facts I spoke to him and we have not heard from him. Fine by me because it’s one less person in my way. But yeah, I can guarantee you that I will barely break a sweat with the kind of competition in the match, ESPECIALLY the ones already announced.
???: Especially?
Bashar Jackson: Whattup Maxwell? Man, it’s too bad your looks got messed up, because you ain’t much in the brains department, so you like nothing now going for you. Do you honestly think we should be afraid of you because you beat Lucas Johnson? Who hasn’t at this point? All we know is when it matters most, you don’t show up. And if you do, it’s like you were never there in the first place. I’m new to this place, but I’m not fucking stupid. Just a few weeks ago, I picked up the victory over Kid Ohio, you know, that guy who just beat the number one contender for the Interwire Championship. I’ve done nothing but impress since the first day I’ve walked through that door and there’s no reason to think I’m not going to go all out in my free-per-view debut match and go all out in order to show the entire company just what Bashar Jackson is capable of. I’ve been waiting for this chance to show the entire world what I’m all about, and I’m not gonna let some arrogant, egotistical jackass like you stand in my way of doing that homie. You ain’t making no statement out of the competition, the only thing you are taking is another L on FPV. Now, just back it up homie.
Maxwell: You trying to test me? I got more talent in my pinkie than you have in your entire body you hoodlum. And you know what, why wait until Road to Redemption? You are just making my job even easier at Road to Redemption if I take you out now.
Bashar Jackson: I’m always up for a fight bro, you wanna go now? I bet you won’t even make it to Road to Redemption. You are literally all talk, motherfucker. Bet you do absolutely nothing, but Ima be waiting if you do feel cute and wanna try sumn.
???: Shut up, both of you, damn.
(Lucas Johnson in casual attire walks into the frame followed by Albert Hitchman.)
Lucas Johnson: Both of you are content about being in this match? My statement last week was took the wrong way. I got rid of Mr. Business and channeled the Wrestling Machine. I can tell you all right now, all of this is just a waste of time. I would much rather be inside that Chamber match and earning my redemption from years past.
Maxwell: You lost your qualifying match, get the fuck over it. Make the most of what you’re given. You gotta go out there and make a statement if you wanna be taken seriously.
Lucas Johnson: You’re right. Maybe last week wasn’t enough. Nah, I’m telling you I’m done fighting in these bottom feeder matches because I’m better than this. You guys all wanna see something more from me? You wanna see me further channel the Wrestling Machine? Alright, both of you, and the rest of the world, watch what I do later tonight!
(Albert looks at both of them before he follows his client out of the frame. Maxwell and Bashar both look on a bit confused.)
Eve: What does he mean by that? Lucas doesn’t have a match tonight.
(A commercial promoting Ronan Malosi’s Hot Steaks. Join today and get your first steak free, but nobody joined. Except Ryan Wilson, he wants Ronan’s meat. PAUSE.)
(The scene opens into an unknown location. Kyra Phillips is smiling into the camera.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time…Bronson Daniels!
(Bronson nods at Kyra.)
Kyra Phillips: First, let’s take a rewind a little bit to Pain for Pride. How did it feel to walk out of Pain for Pride New Breed Champion when nobody expected you to?
Bronson Daniels: It’s absolutely indescribable. I wasn’t in the company long before Pain for Pride, and I thought I was going to freeze up in the moment but I walked in proved everybody wrong who said I had ZERO chance. I’m walking into a similar situation in a few weeks time inside the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Pain for Pride remains one of the greatest moments of my life, and I will add another one here in a couple of weeks at Road to Redemption.
(Kyra smiles.)
Kyra Phillips: A few weeks ago, you were a heavy favorite in that ladder match at Reasonable Doubt, but then James Ranger came out of nowhere to win. Do you still have a bitter taste in your mouth about the result?
Bronson Daniels: Of course I still have a bitter taste in my mouth about it. I made my intentions clear after losing the New Breed Title that I was after the Interwire Championship, and it’s crushing I took the loss because quite frankly, I underestimated James Ranger and I’ve admitted that was a mistake, but I never make the same mistakes twice, I can guaran-fucking-tee you that. I wanted to be Interwirw Champion but God had other plans for me, and that plan is dethroning Jamie O’Hara to become the new Answers World Champion.
Kyra Phillips: What does this opportunity mean for you?
Bronson Daniels: It means the entire world. Much like Kelton, this is my first ever crack at the World Championship. And no matter what happens in the chamber, I want one thing to happen, which is I want people to remember my name coming out of it. What I do in that chamber will carry over into the new year win or lose. I will come hell or high water so I am a threat to become Answers World Champion by the time the season’s over. Your first World Championship shot, you need to show you belong in that spot, and that’s exactly what I plan on doing, when I hold that Answers World Championship high above my head.
Kyra Phillips: Do you got any last thoughts for your opponents?
Bronson Daniels: I’m not stupid, I’m not gonna do what I did back at Reasonable Doubt and think it’s gonna be some walk in the park. Especially with competitors like Jamie, Jack, and Andrea in this match. I know once again I’m walkin in as an underdog, and I know I got my work cut out for me. I know none of it is going to be easy, but I’m up for the challenge. I was the underdog back at Pain for Pride when I beat Jamie’s “little” friend Jalyn Garcia for the New Breed Championship, so being in this spot is nothing new to me. Nobody sees me as Answers World Championship material, including a few of my opponents, but they will soon enough in a few weeks time. Everyone is going to give their reasons why they THINK they can be the next Answers World Champion, but I told you reason why I KNOW I am the next Answers World Champion. I’m ready to shock the world once again, and I just hope you all are ready for the Bronson era here on Saturday nights.
(The camera then switches to Gina Romano inside the ring.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
World 1 Theatre Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: …AND IT IS A CHAMPION VS CHAMPION MATCH!
( ‘Hey Superstar’ by Madina Lake hits as Sierra Bradford walks down to the ring with the Tag Team Championship wrapped around her waist )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, RESIDING IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED FORTY ONE POUNDS— SHE IS ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!! THE MULTIVERSAL….. SIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BRAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDFOOOOOORDDDDDDDD!!!!!
(‘ Hey Superstar’ by Madina Lake fades as ‘We Appreciate Power’ by Grimes starts playing over the World 1 Theatre speakers as Consuela Rose Ava makes her way down to the ring with the Interwire Championship draped over her shoulder)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY POUNDS… SHE IS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!! THE VISIONARY……. CONNNNNNNNSUEEEEELLLLLAAAAAAAAAAA RRRROOOOOOOOSSEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVAAAAAAAA!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
DeadPrez: Consuela vs Sierra. BIG! FIGHT! FEEL! The rubber match is underway! As both Consuela and Sierra extend a hand to one another before engaging in a test of strength with the much larger Sierra overpowering Consuela and initiating a collar-and-elbow tie-up pushing the Interwire Champion into the corner before the referee demands Sierra to break her hold!
Eve: Sierra breaks her hold and steps away as Consuela restrategizes and the two champions decide to meet back in the center of the ring- as both women once again initiate a test of strength- THIS TIME CONSUELA SHIFTS HER WEIGHT AND SHE MANAGES TO SECURE THE HEAD OF SIERRA— BUT SIERRA WHIPS HER INTO THE ROPES AND KNOCKS HER DOWN WITH A SWIFT MISSILE DROPKICK– NO WAIT! CONSUELA CATCHES THE LEG OF SIERRA AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE AND SHE TWISTING THE ANKLE! CONSUELA HAS SIERRA BRADFORD IN A TIGHT ANKLE LOCK AND ONE-HALF OF THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS MAY BE FORCED TO TAP OUT RIGHT HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh how I wish I could be that referee… or even just the ring canvas…or maybe just one of their tights… ohhh what I would give to be one of their tights :kofi:
DeadPrez & Eve: :dahell:
DeadPrez: Anyway… Consuela is applying some torque on that ankle lock and if Sierra doesn’t tap out now Consuela may just snap her ankle in half! But I know Sierra isn’t the giving up type.. As she crawls towards the rope trying to force the break! Sierra is reaching..SHE’S JUST FINGER TIPS AWAY FROM GRABBING THE BOTTOM ROPE TO FORCE A BREAK AND… SHE GETS IT! DID SHE GET IT?
Eve: No! CONSUELA PULLS HER BACK JUST AS IT SEEMED LIKE SIERRA WAS GOING TO FORCE A ROPE BREAK! AND NOW SIERRA IS TRAPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH NOWHERE TO GO AND NO OTHER DECISION BUT TO TAP OUT! SIERRA TAPS OUT!!!
Gavin Kirkland: — NO SIERRA USES HER FOOT THAT’S FREE TO KICK AT THE FACE OF CONSUELA ROSE AVA AS SIERRA HAS MANAGED TO ROLL ON HER BACK! CONSUELA IS ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE FIRST COUPLE OF KICKS BUT SHE EVENTUALLY IS FORCED TO LET GO OF THE ANKLE LOCK! CONSUELA LOOKS TO REGAIN CONTROL WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK BUT CONSUELA GOES BEHIND AND DROPS SUELA ON THE BACK OF NECK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Eve: Sierra looks to capitalize on a stunned Consuela and nails her with a snap DDT that spikes Consuela right on her head and Sierra shoots for the cover.
ONNNNEEEEEE!
TW-
Eve: CONSUELA QUICKLY GETS THE SHOULDER UP! It’s still early in the match, and the Interwire Champion isn’t going down that easy as Sierra applies a headlock on the now seated Consuela Rose Ava. You can see Consuela looking to pry the arms of Sierra from around her head but it’s no use as Sierra keeps the headlock cinched in pretty tight.
Deadprez: Consuela is forced to take another escape route as she is beginning to work her way up to a vertical base and now she is driving elbows into the midsection of Sierra. And Sierra responds back with a snap Suplex! Sierra got all of that! Consuela looks to regroup in the corner but Sierra isn’t gonna let her as she builds up momentum, AND NAILS CONSUELA WITH A CANNONBALL SENTON IN THE CORNER! WAIT- NOBODY HOME FOR SIERRA AS CONSUELA WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST MINUTE! Now it’s the Interwire Champion’s turn to get back control in this match! CONSUELA BEGINS MOUNTING MOMENTUM AS SHE TAKES SIERRA DOWN WITH A SNAPPY HURRICANRANA!
Eve: SIERRA IS BACK UP AND SHE ATTEMPTS A BICYCLE KICK ON CONSUELA WHO SIDE STEPS IT AND BRINGS SIERRA DOWN WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Sierra has dropped to her knees and Consuela begins laying in shoot kicks to the exposed chest of Sierra Bradford!
(The crowd builds with anticipation as Consuela backs up for the final kick.)
Eve: CONSUELA GOES FOR THE ROUNDHOUSE- SIERRA DUCKS UNDER AND PUSHES CONSUELA IN THE ROPES WHO COMES BACK WITH LA RODILLA DE LA MUERTE!!!!! THE RUNNING KNEE CONNECTS! CONSUELA SCRAMBLES FOR THE COV- SIERRA SHOWCASES SOME EXCELLENT RING AWARENESS AS SHE JUST BARELY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING BEFORE THE PIN CAN TAKE PLACE! Consuela is clearly frustrated as she knows she had the match won there! If there’s one thing Consuela knows how to do as champion, it’s adapt. As she’s gonna continue bringing the fight to Sierra Bradford who is regaining her wherewithal on the outside. Consuela has the devil in her eyes, SHE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES FOR TOPE CONSUELA HILO!!!!
Deadprez: SIKE! SIERRA AVOIDS IT LAST MINUTE BUT CONSUELA IS ABLE TO LAND ON HER FEET! AND SHE ISNT GONNA BE THERE FOR LONG AS SIERRA CATCHES HER WITH A VICIOUS BICYCLE KICK THAT CATCHES CONSUELA RIGHT IN THE FACE! Sierra isn’t looking to stop there as she drags the dazed Consuela over to the steel steps and leans her on there. Sierra creates space between the two and she is lining Consuela up! SIERRA LEAPS IN THE AIR AND THIS TIME THE CANNONBALL SENTON CONNECTS AND THE BACK OF CONSUELA’S HEAD HIT THE STEEL STEPS! Both women are hurt from that exchange, but they need to be wary of the referee’s count who’s currently at five. Sierra realizes this and rushes Consuela Rose Ava back into the ring for a pin. This could be huge for Sierra!
ONNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWOOOOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: CONSUELA GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Sierra Bradford is as shocked as we are! She begins ascending the top turnbuckle though and the best part of that is seeing her ass stick out while she does so.
Eve: :comeagain:
Gavin Kirkland: Shush! I’m commentating. SIERRA LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE- OR SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO DO SO AS CONSUELA HAS RECOVERED AND JOINED HER UP THERE! Consuela is just hammering Sierra with punches and she hooks Sierra up for a superplex. Sierra isn’t too fond of that as she is attempting to fight out of Consuela’s clutches with punches to the ribs. BUT I DONT THINK THATS GONNA MATTER AS THEY BOTH COME CRASHING DOWN WITH A SUPERPLEX!!! The top rope is no small height and both women are feeling the effects from that. Sierra more than Consuela who is currently back up to her feet and looking to lift a downed Sierra up. It doesn’t look like Sierra knows where she is as Consuela gets her up in an electric chair position. This could easily be the Lemon Pledge and if Consuela connects with this, it’s all over.
Eve: SIERRA STILL HAS SOME FIGHT IN HER AS SHE SLIPS OUT THE BACK AND GETS CONSUELA IN AN O’CONNOR ROLL! REFEREE QUICKLY GETS INTO POSITION!
ONNNNEEEE-
Eve: QUICK KICKOUT BY CONSUELA WHO LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE ON SIERRA WHO HAS HER BACK TURNED AT THE MOMENT! BUT BEFORE CONSUELA CAN, SHE GETS CAUGHT WITH A PELE KICK FROM SIERRA WHO LURED CONSUELA IN!! Sierra grabs Consuela and puts her in a powerbomb position.
Gavin Kirkland: :shaq: I wanna be in that position to-
(Eve slaps the back of Gavin’s head before continuing to commentate the match.)
Eve: Sierra hooks the arms of Consuela and attempts to get her up but Consuela is putting all of her weight down. BEFORE CONSUELA BREAKS FREE AND HITS SIERRA WITH A SCORPION KICK! SIERRA FALLS DOWN INTO THE CORNER! AND IS IMMEDIATELY MET WITH THE SOLE OF CONSUELA’S BOOT WHO GETS HER WITH THE RUNNING FACE WASH!! Maybe payback for Sierra kicking her in the face earlier! The referee backs Consuela away to check on Sierra Bradford who is currently crumpled in the corner after that boot.
Deadprez: Match is still going as Consuela begins walking over to Sierra who pulls Consuela in by the waistband of her tights, driving her face-first into the middle turnbuckle!
Gavin Kirkland: If only she would’ve pulled them down a little further. :mjcry:
Deadprez: Anyways, Consuela is pulled out of the corner by Sierra who snaps Consuela down to the mat with an Olympic Slam! And you can feel the paradigm shift for Sierra who has Consuela right where she wants her. Consuela is getting up to her feet but I don’t think she knows what’s about to await her, AS SHES TAKEN DOWN WITH THE SEEKING MISSILE!!! SIERRA HITS CONSUELA WITH A RUNNING KNEE OF HER OWN!!
Eve: Sierra brings Consuela to her knee and Sierra rebounds off the ropes for ELECTRIC FEEL!!! SHINING WIZARD TAKES CONSUELA OUT!! SIERRA IS ON THE VERGE OF A BIG WIN!! WAIT IS THAT—
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT IS THAT IDIOT DOING OUT HERE?!!? THAT’S RONAN MALOSI! AND HE’S ON THE APRON!!! SIERRA BRADFORD STOPS MID MATCH TO CONFRONT HIM AND NOW THEY’RE IN EACH OTHERS FACE YELLING OBSCURITIES AND BELITTLING ONE ANOTH— AND SIERRA KNOCKS RONAN OFF THE APRON WITH A PUNCH TO THE FACE!! AND FROM BEHIND CONSUELA ROSE AVA WITH THE SCHOOLBOY!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!! CONSUELA ROSE AVA!!!!!!!!
(‘We Appreciate Power’ by Grimes hits as Ronan Malosi drops from the apron and laughs at the fact that he’s cost Sierra a hardfought sure victory, as Consuela Rose Ava snatches her hand from the referee as she notices Ronan Malosi’s interference)
DeadPrez: I don’t think Consuela is too happy knowing that her victory came at the hands of aid from Ronan Malosi! And I don’t think Ronan Malosi cares as he just simply points and laughs at the two irate champions sauntering in the ring!
Eve: — Hey wait a minute…is that… ITS HARPER LEE IT’S HARPER LEE! HARPER LEE STORMS OUT FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN AND WHIPS RONAN MALOSI INTO THE RING! LEAVING HIM AT THE MERCY OF SIERRA BRADFORD AND CONSUELA ROSE AVA– WHO SMILE AT ONE ANOTHER BEFORE UNLEASHING A SLEW OF KICKS AND STOMPS TO ONE HALF OF CHAINED FURY!
Gavin Kirkland: IT SEEMS LIKE RONAN MALOSI WAS JUST TRYING TO GET EVEN FOR SIERRA BUTTING INTO HIS MATCH EARLIER BUT NOW IT’S CLEAR THE GUY HAS BIT OFF A LOT MORE THAN HE COULD EVER CHEW– AND THAT IS EVIDENT — AS CONSUELA ROSE AVA PICKS RONAN UP AND HOLDS HIM IN PLACE FOR SIERRA BRADFORD TO CONNECT WITH THE ELECTRIC FEEL!!! ELECTRIC FEEL—
DeadPrez: NO ITS RYAN WILSON! RYAN WILSON SPRINTS DOWN THE RAMP AND SHOVES HARPER LEE TO THE SIDE BEFORE QUICKLY GRABBING HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER BEFORE ANY MORE DAMAGE CAN BE DONE TO HIM!
(‘Hey Superstar’ by Madina Lake plays as Harper Lee, Sierra Bradford and Consuela Rose Ava stand in the center of the ring eyeing chained fury as they hurriedly scurry up the entrance ramp and make their way to the back)

Ryan Wilson: RIDICULOUS! Who do those girls think they are?!
???:Hey, Mr. General Manager.
(Kid Ohio steps into the camera shot with a smug look on his face.)
Kid Ohio: Ryan Wilson, “sir”, I don’t think we have met. I am Showdown’s newest, and hottest acquisition, Kid Ohio.
(Ryan hand shakes with Kid Ohio.)
Ryan Wilson: Yes, I was impressed with your work on the indies which is why I signed you. Great look, great attitude, great athletic skills. You got it all, and you impressed me last week. You defeated the current number one contender for the Interwire Championship, James Ranger.
Kid Ohio: Yeah, well. It’s just what I do. I win.
Ryan Wilson: I’m a big fan of you and what you have accomplished only a few weeks into your career. Keep up the great work and the rewards will come, the same thing I tell my entire roster.
Kid Ohio: Well, there is something I wanted to talk to you about. I heard there’s this elimination match at Road to Redemption, and I want in on it. What better way to show my greatness than with all three brands eyes on me? None of them compare to me, no matter what Maxwell said earlier tonight. You know I’m a good fit for that match and you know I won’t let you, or Showdown down in that match. You know after what I’ve displayed the past few weeks that you just can’t leave Kid Ohio off the Road to Redemption card.
(Ryan Wilson thinks it over.)
Ryan Wilson: You know what, because of your impressive victory last week, I’m gonna add you to that match. So, congratulations. I’m sure you’re gonna represent Showdown well and I’m sure I can count on you.
Kid Ohio: Oh believe you, you don’t even have to worry. That match is mine to win.
Ryan Wilson: I like that confidence. I’m glad to have you on my roster.
Kid Ohio: Me too.

Deadprez: Against the man, he will face along with Consuela at Road to Redemption, he will also want to deliver a message! This is a great opportunity for him to bounce back and get the momentum going!
( Ding! Ding!! Ding!!! )
Eve: And this match is officially under way! Both men are surveying each other and circle each other before going into a clinch! Ranger being the heavier of the two manages to push back Justin and into the ropes before whipping him into a corner. Justin rushes in quickly trying to reply with a clothesline which is dodged by Ranger who twists and applies a Pele Kick to Justin’s face! Down goes Xtreme Classic but he quickly gets back to his feet. Ranger goes for a shoulder block which is dodged and responded to with a mule kick followed quickly by a setup for a pump handle slam which James slips away from by wiggling a little and stands behind Windgate. He spins right into a sit-out facebuster! Down goes Justin! He gets picked up by Ranger who whips him into the ropes! An attempt at a clothesline fails on the bounce! Windgate into the ropes AND JUMPS INTO A SPINNING SOLE KICK! DOWN GOES RANGER! He goes for a cover!
Referee: One! Two!
Gavin Kirkland: A kick out by Ranger!
Deadprez: That would’ve been an upset just by how quickly it would’ve ended!
Eve: Gladly though this match will continue with Justin bringing Ranger to a vertical base and then whips Ranger into a corner with force! Ranger slams into the turnbuckles and James runs in going for a shoulder tackle before jogging away and charging forth for another attack BUT JAMES MOVES FORWARD AND KICKS WINDGATE IN THE GUT! D…D…T!!!! Justin’s face plants into the mat! Ranger continues the offensive running to the ropes and drills a leg drop to the chest of his opponent! He gets Justin up and moves behind his foe before throwing him backward with a german suplex! But he doesn’t let go! He swings Windgate once more for a second suplex!
Virtual Crowd: Two!!
Eve: James is still not letting go of the waist of his opponent, swinging him back for a third suplex, and this time…
Virtual Crowd: Three!!!
Eve: He let’s ah no! I was wrong! He is still coiled around the waist of Classic as this time he gets close to one of the corners he performs the fourth suplex but Justin Slams Into The Turnbuckles!!!
Virtual Crowd: FOUR!!
Eve: Ranger grabs Windgate by a foot, dragging him to the center of the ring to attempt a cover!!
Referee: One! T-
Gavin Kirkland: Kick out at two!
Virtual Crowd: TWO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Advantage Ranger for the moment!
Deadprez: He needs to keep the pressure on if he wants a chance to win! Keep it up, James!!
Eve: James wants for his opponent to get back up at this time, preparing for a move he clearly has in mind while Windgate is dazed this results in a smashing running Enziguri!! But Justin is not going down, he is staggering on his feet which opens James up for another attack! He goes to the ropes, lines up for a clothesline but Justin hits him with a spinning elbow to the face, AND THEN THE CLASSIC ENDING!!! THE REVERSE CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE!! HERE’S A COVER!!
Referee: One! Two! THR-
Gavin Kirkland: HE KICKED OUT!!!
Deadprez: Are you kidding me???
Eve: Even Justin doesn’t believe it! Ranger kicked out of the Classic Ending to keep this match alive! He waits for his opponent to get back up yelling at him as he prepares for his next strike which ends up being the Run It Up! The Sliced Bread Numero Deux! He nails it perfectly! He goes for another cover!
Referee: One! Two!
Gavin Kirkland: Ranger lifts the shoulder up!
Deadprez: He doesn’t want to give up!
Eve: This seems to frustrate Windgate who thought he had this in the bag he goes to James smacking him behind the head arrogantly as Ranger gets up. Windgate spins him around so he could face him but James throws in a series of open palm strikes to the face of Justin who isn’t able to block them! JAWBREAKER BY RANGER!! Justin staggers dazed and stunned which allows Ranger to follow with a reverse Russian leg sweep taking Windgate down! Justin then rolls outside of the ring to try and recover from the attack and this also allows for Ranger to breathe and ponder what his next course of action will be! Ranger slides out of the ring behind Windgate throwing an ax handle to the back of his opponent who lands on his knees near the announcer’s table. Ranger goes for Justin as the official is starting to count both men for being outside of the ring. Ranger goes for a European Uppercut but it’s blocked by Justin who grabs James by the hair and smacks his head on our table! He then does it again! And again! And then three more times! What an attack by Windgate who then moves Ranger on the table laying him on it! He looks around, he is thinking he then looks at the top turnbuckle wait is he … He’s thinking high risk here folks! Quickly he goes inside the ring and on the nearest turnbuckle this is quite high he is going for the X-Factor! The Shooting Star Press from the top turnbuckle! He goes airborne BUT CRASHES ON NOTHING BUT TABLE!!!! RANGER GOT OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME!!
Virtual Crowd: Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!
Gavin Kirkland: The XTreme Classic Flew But Burned His Wings!!
Deadprez: Justin wanted to be Felix Baumgartner but ended up being a splat on the mat!
Gavin Kirkland: Think about our poor announce table man!
Eve: I don’t think Justin cares about our table Gavin he probably is in the stratosphere at the moment. Ranger looks happy to have dodged that big-time bullet while the official is still counting he is at 7 right now! Ranger quickly grabs what’s left of Windgate and rolls him into the ring breaking the count as he attempts a cover! Will Justin’s risk cost him the match??
Referee: ONE! TWO!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: HE… KICKED…OUT!!!!
James Ranger: THE FUCK???
Deadprez: I couldn’t say it better myself!!
Eve: Ranger can’t believe it and neither do we! Justin kicked out and is still in this match!! Ranger gets up, bringing Windgate with him, and throws him into the ropes before slamming him down with a corkscrew tackle! He gives Windgate a few kicks to the midsection followed by an elbow drop to the sternum before getting Windgate up again! He scoops him up in his arms drilling him down with The Sunset Finish!! The Northern Lights Bomb connects! Ranger with a cover!!
Referee: ONE! TWO!! THREEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: HE… KICKED…OUT… AGAIN!!!!
James Ranger: DAMN IT!
Deadprez: Windgate is showing us what he is made up of in the resilience department tonight!
Eve: But how long will he last if he keeps on receiving such assaults though! Ranger moves to Justin, moving him up and throws him into the ropes but Justin baseball slides out of the ring trying to catch a breather. He is staggering close to the ring, James looks away and rushes to the ropes he runs towards Justin with speed and leans under the bottom rope TO SPEAR WINDGATE!! HOLY COW YOU DON’T SEE THAT MOVE DONE THAT WAY EVERY DAY!! Windgate goes down and Ranger tries to rally the crowd as he does a rallying yell he truly is in control of the match at the moment. He goes to Justin who is sitting against the nearby barricade and begins to throw MMA kicks to his chest repeatedly! Justin is only able to take the hits without doing anything else. He dares Windgate to get to his feet, waiting for him to get up Justin is slow to move but he musters the strength to be able to do it. The official is counting from within the ring but that doesn’t stop Ranger from throwing a few knife edged chops to the chest of Justin! His chest is turning a few shades of darker pink from the attacks and suddenly Windgate pushes forward and Rams Ranger Against The Apron!! He throws a few fists to the jaw of Ranger before sitting James on the apron, he moves so both are standing on the apron now and he throws a thumb to the eye of his opponent! Windgate is starting to get wind in his sail as he proceeds from the outside of the ring to choke James on the second ropes the official is counting but then Windgate quickly kicks Ranger to the gut before hopping back in the ring, he leaps quickly over the ropes with his hands and WOAH HE LANDS THE XTREME LANDING! THE SLINGSHOT DDT TO THE OUTSIDE CONNECTS AND BOTH MEN ARE DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE!!!!
Referee: One! Two!! Three!!!
Eve: Windgate is getting up first looking at Ranger, throwing a few kicks to the man’s back.
Referee: Four!!!! Five!!!!!
Eve: He helps Ranger to get to his feet, James is wobbly dazed he looks to be in another timezone! Windgate brings him down with a swinging neckbreaker!!
Referee: Six!!!!!! Seven!!!!!!! Eight!!!!!!!!
Eve: He moves Ranger to his feel and shoves him into the ring counting the official’s count at nine!
Justin Windgate: Come on James! Come on man get up! Get UP!
Eve: James is doing what he can to get to a vertical base, Ranger slaps him to the face but the London born seems to be hulking up! Justin throws him a high kick which Ranger blocks! He spins and throws in a mule kick Windgate leans forward! Ranger calls for the Final Execution!! He hits the ropes, bouncing back towards Windgate with great speed BUT JUSTIN THROWS IN A SUPERKICK BEFORE JAMES COULD PERFORM tHE SCISSOR!!! SUPERKICK ON RANGER WHO FALLS LIKE A LOG! Windgate flips Ranger to his back and applies the X-Grip! The Border City Stretch is locked in! Ranger is in trouble as the official is looking at him asking if he wants to tap out! Ranger is muffling yells clearly in pain as Windgate applies more pressure!! Ranger is trying to scramble, crawling slowly making his way towards the ropes he is inches from it! His size advantage over Windgate allows him to pull this move he finally grabs hold of the ropes and the referee orders Justin to stop the hold! Ranger just saved himself right there it looked like it was the end!
Gavin Kirkland: Both men just throwing everything at each other this is great!
Deadprez: Fast paced action I love it!
Eve: Justin looks to be annoyed at not being able to put Ranger away but the crowd is loving the show they are getting so far and they want more! Ranger gets raised to his feet by his opponent and then throws a punch to James who blocks it and then throws one of his own! Justin throws a fist! Ranger throws one back both men are now throwing haymakers at each other under the cheering virtual crowd until Ranger throws in a knee at Justin’s gut and moves into an armbar! Ranger looks to slow down the pace but then moves Justin quickly into a Double Underhook Backbreaker!! Ranger applies it to perfection and Windgate is down! Ranger with the cover!!
Referee: One! T-
Gavin Kirkland: Windgate says no through lifting a shoulder up!!
Deadprez: How will this match end?? Also who will win it? This feels like a 50/50 affair so far!
Eve: Ranger groans before moving to keep on the attack on Windgate driving a knee to the back doing it three times before grabbing Windgate by the waist and forcing him up! He wants to go for a german suplex he swings Justin over but Windgate ends up on his feet! Ranger throw too much into the move! Ranger turns while getting up Justin swings for the fences with a superkick that Ranger blocks! He has Windgate’s feet held firmly with both hands.
Ranger: Nuh uh! Not this time!
Eve: He shoves the foot down forcing Windgate into a pendulum swing motion which allows Ranger to kick him in the gut and apply an European Uppercut! Then a second! A third! Kick to the gut again and THE DDT!!! Down goes Windgate and Ranger wants to take it to the sky he calls for the Advent Dawn! The Shooting Star Double Foot Stomp! Will this be the end of Windgate will Ranger be able to pull this off? Ranger measures his target, he leaps… WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??? WINDGATE CONNECTS WITH THE CLASSIC ENDING!!! THE CLASSIC ENDING WHILE RANGER WAS IN MID AIR!!
Gavin Kirkland: OUT … OF …
Deadprez: NOWHERE!!!!!
Eve: Windgate hooks the leg up for a cover!!
Referee: ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Referee: ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
Gina Romano: Here Is Your Winner; The XTreme Classic! JUSTIIIIN WIIIIIIINDGAAAAAAAAATE!!
Gavin Kirkland: Holy Cow What A Match!! Both men gave an incredible performance out there!!!
Deadprez: It must be disappointing to James though.
Eve: If I was him, I would actually be proud of that match because he really gave Justin a run for his money and I would feel absolutely no shame regarding losing because he truly gave out a good show! I feel like he is ready for Road to Redemption! I can’t wait to see what they both will do in the triple threat match at the Free Per-View! Consuela must be watching this knowing she is going to be facing quite a challenge with both of these men in less than 14 days!
(Commercial advertising Road to Redemption. Two weeks away LIVE only on Free-Per-View!)
(Kyra Phillips sits across from Kyra Phillips in the same spot Bronson was in earlier, in an unknown location.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time, Jon Kelton!
(Jon nods at Kyra sitting across from her.)
Jon Kelton: Thanks for having me, Kyra.
Kyra Phillips: First, I just wanna touch up on the subject of Reasonable Doubt. We know that you lost the contract to Justin Windgate. You’ve been pretty vocal about it, but I just wanted to know now that the dust has settled over the past few weeks, how you truly feel about it? Do you wish you could have done more, or are you ready to take that next step in your career? I wanna know how you’re feeling about it several weeks later?
Jon Kelton: Everyone seems to have their own opinions on my loss to Justin Windgate at Reasonable Doubt. Everyone seems to think that just because I lost the contract that means I can no longer move forward within my career nor within this company and I think that, that in itself is exhausting. I put on a five-star match of the year candidate at Reasonable Doubt- and that in itself is something I’m proud of and that’s the only take away I have from that. Any lingering feelings I had about the way that night ended faded as soon as I qualified for the Extreme Elimination Chamber.
Kyra Phillips: What was going through your head when you decided to return here last season?
Jon Kelton: I wanted to change the narrative of my career. I wanted to prove to everyone that I’m greater than I ever was my first run here. I’m a main-eventer. I’m a franchise player. I’m the definition of a World Champion. Sure, the groundwork has been messy, but I feel as though each and every week I am solidifying these claims.
Kyra Phillips: You’ve opened many eyes ever since you returned. You want to show that the battle royal win was barely scratching the surface of what you’re capable of. How do you plan to do that inside the Extreme Elimination Chamber?
Jon Kelton: By rising to the occasion. No one thought I would be here. Just like no one thought I’d win the 24/7 battle royal. I take pride and solace in the fact that people still continue to doubt me no matter how much I continue to improve and get better– I find it makes it easier to upset them. People continue to treat me like I’ve lost a step, like I’m a fraction of who I used to be, people completely disregard what I’ve managed to do in such a short amount of time– and I think that makes maneuvering in the chamber a lot easier. No one’s gunning for me..but everyone single one of them are in my line of sight.
Kyra Phillips: What does this opportunity truly mean to you?
Jon Kelton: I’ve never had a chance at a World Championship in my life. Not a single time. Despite everything I was or was becoming in my first run in EAW, I never had a chance at the World Championship. So to now have that opportunity, to have the chance to right all my wrongs and solidify my name in history among some of the greatest EAW has to offer, I truly feel blessed. I’m going to make the most of it.
Kyra Phillips: What would dethroning Jamie O’Hara mean for you and your legacy?
Jon Kelton: Jamie O’Hara is one of the greatest Elitists I’ve ever seen. And even saying that in itself doesn’t do that man justice. But as great as he is, he’s at the top of the mountain, and unfortunately that means he is in my way. Taking the Answers World Championship from Jamie would be huge for me. It would be huge for anyone.
Kyra Phillips: Last week, you had an opportunity to make a statement. But Andrea defeated you in a controversial way. We know it’s gonna take more to keep a competitor like you down. Do you have any comments on that?
Jon Kelton: Andrea, a former World Champion, couldn’t beat me on the strength of her merit alone, and I feel as if that speaks volumes. It’s a true testament to how far I’ve come in such a short time, and I believe that match is pure validation for all the claims I’ve made in this interview thus far– but beyond that it’s validation for the things I’ve been telling everyone all along, I’m truly one of the best EAW has to offer.
Kyra Phillips: Do you have any last comments to all your opponents inside the chamber?
Jon Kelton: Each and every single of one of you have proven yourselves over the course of a calendar year. Each and every single one of you possess the strength and ability to win at Road To Redemption, but you won’t. Not Jack Ripley, not Andrea Valentine, Not Jamie O’Hara — certainly not Bronson Daniels or SKA… none of you want to win as much as me and none of you are willing to do the things I’m willing to do, to win. But nonetheless goodluck to you all.
Kyra Phillips: Well, that’s all the questions I have for you. Thank you for joining me here tonight and good luck at Road To Redemption!
Jon Kelton: Thank you, and any time. I’ve never been more ready for anything in my life.
(The scene fades to darkness before transitioning elsewhere.)
(The scene opens inside the condo of Alexis and Bethany, inside their bedroom. Bethany seems to be freaking out as Alexis is trying to calm her down. Nurse Goldstein is standing guard by the door.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: That madwoman is on the hunt for me, did you guys see her final words after I turned off the camera?!
Alexis Chambers: Babe! Babe! I’m gonna need you to pull yourself together. If Kassidy wants to get to you, she’s gotta go through me and Goldy first, and it ain’t gonna happen. There’s no way possible she can get this address right? This isn’t even our main home. We have made calls and have made sure Kass doesn’t find any way to your personal information.
Dr. Bethany Blue: I SWEAR if she gets anywhere near me–
Nurse Goldstein: She won’t.
Dr. Bethany Blue: What part of get healthy for the New Year doesn’t the woman get? I’m doing us both a favor and now she’s on this wild goose chase for me, because I said what every doctor in America said we should do? Why can’t she just see the bigger picture?! I should be wanting to rip her head off her body for what she’s put me through, but I’ve remained professional. And you know what, I’m starting to get to that point…..where I’m sick of being professional about it!
(Dr. Bethany Blue pulls out a bat from under Alexis’s pillow on Alexis’s side of the bed, and she scares both Alexis and Goldstein.)
Both Nurse Goldstein and Alexis Chambers: :damn:!!!
Nurse Goldstein: Put the bat down!
Dr. Bethany Blue: NO!! I HATE LIVING IN PARANOIA!
(Alexis is trying to wrestle the bat from Bethany’s hands as…)
DOORBELL RING!
(The entire condo is completely silent after the sound of the door bell. Alexis Chambers stops wrestling from the bat from Dr. Bethany Blue, who looks directly at the door. The person on the other side of the door doesn’t need to inform her of who she is. Bethany knows that she has arrived, but Bethany is not going down without a fight because her mom raised no bee-itch.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: (whispers) It’s her. I am going to need all of you to remain quiet. We are not going to let some bottle blonde bee-itch step inside our home without any permission.
Kassidy Heart: (On the other end of the front door.) Just agree to the match Bethany. It’s that simple and I’ll leave right now.
Dr. Bethany Blue: You know that I can’t do that, Kassidy. We’re both not in the shape to be wrestling. I am thinking of what is best for you and your health in the long run and I think that you should sit out of the Road to Redemption card. I know, it’s something that I don’t want for myself, but I am putting my health first and as a doctor, I’d advise you to do the same thing.
Kassidy Heart: Imagine trying to tell Kassidy Heart of all people to take the night off when she doesn’t want to. You’ve said a lot of stupid shit and you event went as far as bringing my twins into it, so you’re gonna fucking pay, bitch. We can go back and forth all night, but I’m not going to sit out. This fight is happening one way or the other so I’m giving you one last chance here. Agree to the match so I can kick the living shit out of you, or don’t agree, and I’ll bust down this door and kick your ass right now into taking the fight and you’ll be in even worse shape come Road to Redemption. It’s the classic easy way or hard way Bethany. Which one is it?
Dr. Bethany Blue: Violence is never the answer to your problems, Kassidy. I know the history of concussions is taking a toll on you, so I am going to need you to think reasonably and calm down. Threatening to kick down my door and kick my butt isn’t going to resolve anything. It may just land you in jail. Is that what you want?
Kassidy Heart: Alright, fuck it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
(A bashing is heard on the other end. Kassidy on the other end is banging on the lock next to the doorknob with some type of object.)
(Alexis and Bethany are holding one another screaming.Goldstein is getting ready by the door.)
(Kassidy gets the door open, and then tosses her weapon aside, before Nurse Goldstein lunges at her and begins to wrestle for control with her, before Kass quickly gains control.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: LEX, CALL THE COPS NOW!
Kassidy Heart: Call the cops, and I take this crowbar to Goldstein’s head!
(Dr. Bethany Blue and Alexis Chambers look at each other. It seems like they have no other choice on what to do. Alexis slowly puts down her cell phone as Kassidy Heart still has a hold of Nurse Goldstein.)
Kassidy Heart: Good girl. Now, as I said, my request isn’t difficult at all. Accept my match for Road to Redemption. It’s the purpose for me hunting you down to this shithole condo.
Alexis Chambers: IT’S NOT A SHITHO–
Kassidy Heart: Quiet, AnorLexis!
Dr. Bethany Blue: You wanna defy orders, and then you damage my property, and now you threaten my best friends. Who in the-FUDGE do you think you are?!
Kassidy Heart: I’m Kassidy muthafuckin’ Heart, bee-itch!
Dr. Bethany Blue: You know what, I tried to be professional. I tried looking out for your career, but you have pushed me over the edge! YOU’RE ON!!
(Kassidy lets go of Goldstein and throws her to the side.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I tried everything to be the better person, but I’m tired of playing that person. You have been due to take your leave for a long time because of injuries and now motherhood. At Road To Redemption, I’m gonna kick your arse home to those babies full time!
(Kassidy charges at Bethany for once again bringing her newborns into this, but Goldstein grabs her by the waist, and then Bethany runs up and hits Kassidy in the side of the head by a knee! Alexis and Goldstein back up, as Bethany picks up Kassidy by her head, and then slams it into the back of the wall.)
(Bethany then grabs Kassidy up, but Kassidy pushes Bethany away trying to fight back, Kass reaches into the closet next to her and pulls out an umbrella, and she drives it into the chest of Bethany. Bethany holds her chest in response as Kassidy bashes an umbrella to Bethany’s skull as that manages to knock her down. Kassidy manages to stand above the doctor as she looks to deliver the final blow, but Bethany manages to catch the umbrella at the last second, even shocking Kassidy in a way.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Not in my fudging house.
(Dr. Bethany Blue manages to kick Kassidy Heart away from her for the time being. She manages to get her hands on the umbrella. Kassidy is trying to make her way back to her feet, but Bethany manages to ram her with the pointy part of the umbrella as that takes Kassidy to one knee! Bethany manages to pull Kassidy closer to her before connecting with a suplex as Kassidy lands on the tile floor of Bethany’s living room. Kassidy is clutching to her back in pain as Bethany gets Kassidy by her hair, looking her dead in the eye.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I really do think that you’ve overstayed your welcome, Kassidy.
(Kassidy then kicks Bethany in the knee dropping her down, and that buys Kassidy enough time as she stands up, and Bethany then charges at her–but Kassidy sends Bethany flying over the couch furniture behind her.)
(Kassidy is then charged by Nurse Goldstein. Nurse swings but Kassidy ducks, and the Kassidy slams Nurse Goldstein face first into the mirror on the wall, shattering it.)
Dr. Bethany Blue and Alexis Chambers: RATH!!!!
(Kassidy is at the doorway, and she backs out of the room.)
Kassidy Heart: I’ll see you at Road to Redemption, you crazy bitch.
(Dr. Bethany Blue runs up and checks on her longtime partner.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: (shouting as Kassidy is long gone) YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!! I SWEAR YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!!!!
(Commercial of The Maidens Of Malpractice encouraging to wear masks and to social distance.)
(The camera pans to Gina Romano standing inside the ring with a mic in hand, ready to start her ring introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for..ONE FALL!!
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Eye of the Tiger’ by New Found Glory echoes throughout the World 1 theatre and the crowd erupts for Harlow Reichert as she steps onto the stage. Harlow moves her sunglasses to the top of her head and grips onto the flaps of her leather jacket as she surveys the virtual crowd and begins making her way down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, weighing in at 137 pounds! She is “MISS NO FUCKS GIVEN” HARLOW REICHERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE ARENA HAS JUST GOTTEN THICC!!
Eve: Don’t start. What my cohort means to say is, here comes Harlow Reichert. A woman who’s been having her issues as of late with Andrea Valentine who may have had some hand in the attack of Xavier Williams, the mentor of Harlow. But tonight isn’t really about Andrea Valentine, it’s about Harlow versus Candice Blair. And it’s a preview of things to come at Road to Redemption with these two women being competitors in the Specialists Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber.
Deadprez: And Harlow is nothing but dead set on winning said championship. Tonight she gets a chance to prove she has what it takes to beat one of the competitors in the previously mentioned, Candice Blair. And Harper has made it abundantly clear that after Road to Redemption, she plans to finish business with Andrea Valentine.
(Harlow slides in the ring and tosses her sunglasses aside as she climbs on the turnbuckles and poses for the virtual fans as she is clearly hyped up about her match tonight. Harlow jumps down and removes her black leather jacket as her theme is replaced by ‘Diva’ by Beyoncé as Candice Blair makes her way on the stage.)
Gina Romano: And her opponent! Hailing from San Francisco, California, weighing in at 126 pounds! She is “THE HOT COMMODITY” CANDICE BLAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I know she’s a Voltage elitist but can we please get a petition to make Candice Blair a permanent part of our show? I think she offers a ton of ass-ets to our brand.
Eve: She does but not in the way you’re thinking bozo. But here comes Candice Blair, someone else competing in the EEC and someone who’s looking to get some momentum back after he lost to a Showdown competitor in the form of Alexis Chambers who is also in the Specialists EEC.
Deadprez: That momentum certainly isn’t gonna come easy as even Candice will tell you, Harlow is one of the most talented technicians we have in this company. But we cannot sell Candice Blair short as even though she hasn’t completely had her moment to break out, she has certainly shown nothing but promise every time she’s stepped into the ring. And for someone that hasn’t been in EAW for long, that’s scary because she’s only going to get better.
Gavin Kirkland: I am so conflicted on who I want to win between these two beauties tonight. :noah: why does it have to be so hard?
Eve: As in the choice?
Gavin Kirkland: No.
Eve: :comeagain:
(Both women have settled into their respective corners and are ready to start this off as the ref signals for the bell!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: There’s the bell and this match is underway! Both these women immediately going for a lock up and jockeying for position. But it’s Harlow who uses that technical prowess of hers to take Candice down to the mat with a headlock takedown and that headlock is wrenched in good.
Eve: Candice is able to turn the momentum over as she wraps her legs around the head and neck of Harlow for a headscissors. But Harlow is able to kip out of it as the two stand at a stalemate before locking up again. And this time Candice takes control with a headlock on Harlow Reichert who is able to find an escape by rebounding Candice off the ropes and meeting her with a DROPKICK!
Gavin Kirkland: Watch the face! :lupe:
Eve: Candice gets back on her feet following that dropkick but she is immediately met with stiff knife edge chops from Harlow Reichert that only echo throughout the arena. As Candice Blair is sent reeling on the ropes, Harlow charges at Candice but is tossed over her head- BUT HARLOW MANAGES TO LAND ON THE APRON! Candice notices and looks to score a punch but Harlow blocks and drives Candice down throat-first on the top rope with a hotshot!
Gavin Kirkland: THICCLOW SLIDES BACK IN THE RING AND LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE BUT CANDICE CATCHES HER WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Deadprez: That certainly staggered Harlow but she manages to stay on her feet. Maybe not for long as Candice delivers a stern kick to the sternum of Harlow which causes her to bounce off the ropes, BUT SHE COMES BACK WITH A ROLLUP! AND SHE IMMEDIATELY ROLLS CANDICE BLAIR TO HER KNEES WHERE SHE CONNECTS WITH A SUPER- CANDICE CAUGHT THE FOOT! Candice caught the foot and spins Harlow around to drive her down to the mat with a back suplex.
Gavin Kirkland: And Candice rebounds off the ropes to leap in the air and drives her knee down on the face of Harlow Reichert. Who you can see sat up, checking her face to see if there’s any damage which I hope isn’t the case as Candice drives her foot into the back of Harlow Reichert who winces in pain.
Eve: This goes to show that sort of clash of styles between the two as Candice leans towards strong style as Harlow leans towards that more-so technical style. As Candice looks to land another shoot style kick but this time to the chest of Harlow Reichert who catches the foot and turns it into a dragon screw.
Deadprez: Both women are able to immediately pop up and Candice rushes to land another roundhouse kick to the head of Harlow who ducks under the foot and manages to wrap her arms around the waist of Candice. SHE BEGINS TO HOIST HER UP FOR A GERMAN BUT CANDICE DRIVES HER ELBOW BACK INTO THE FACE OF HARLOW WHICH HALTS THE PROCESS! You can see Harlow’s grip has loosened as Candice looks to pry the hands of Harlow from around her waist, BUT HARLOW STILL MANAGES TO LAND A GERMAN SUPLEX ON CANDICE BLAIR! CANDICE JUST LANDED SQUARE ON HER NECK! HARLOW SHOOTS FOR THE COVER!
OONNNEEEEE!!
TWO-
Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE MANAGES TO KICKOUT! But she’s clearly favoring that neck as she scoots into the corner. Now Harlow is stalking her prey, AS SHE CHARGES IN WITH A CANNONBALL SENTON!
Deadprez: Harlow pulls the groggy Candice up by the arm and picks her up on her shoulders for a fireman’s carry. Candice manages to slip out the back of whatever maneuver Harlow had planned and she shoves Harlow into the ropes. EVER THE RESOURCEFUL, HARLOW SPRINGS OFF THE ROPES FOR A BACK ELB- NO! CANDICE PUSHES HARLOW OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DUMPS HER TO THE OUTSIDE! Quick thinking on behalf of Candice Blair. Harlow Reichert looking like she doesn’t even know where she is on the outside as Candice follows her out there.
Eve: Candice brings Harlow back to her feet and it seems she plans on capitalizing on the outside environment. As she delivers a Suplex to Harlow Reichert on the steel part of the ramp area. And both women are holding their backs in immense pain after that. That’s the downside of performing a move like that. It not only hurts your opponent, but it hurts you as well. Candice is working through the pain, however, as she slides Harlow into the ring. Candice looks to follow herself but as she gets one foot on the mat, Harlow grabs her by the arm and pulls her forward which whiplashes Candice’s head off the top rope. That thing looked nasty as Candice crumbles back into the ring, holding her neck and Harlow hooks the leg.
OONNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: Candice is keeping the fight alive as she manages a kickout there. Harlow isn’t gonna stop there as she drags Candice in the middle of the ring and aims to work on that neck even more as she locks Candice in a dragon sleeper. Not just that, Harlow has grapevined the legs around the waist of Candice as well which is only gonna help cinch the hold in even deeper. There’s some holds I wanna put both these ladies into myself. :shaq:
(Eve proceeds to spray Gavin with something that reads “Horny Repellent.”)
Gavin Kirkland: What the hell is this?! :sethscust:
Eve: Something you desperately need.
Deadprez: Meanwhile, in the ring, Harlow still has that dragon sleeper locked in on Candice who seems like she could be fading at any moment. Harlow continues to wrench back on the sleeper, BUT CANDICE ATTEMPTS TO FIGHT BACK! She’s elbowing Harlow in the ribs! Harlow’s grip has loosened which is leaving way for Candice to pry the arm of Harlow from around her neck. And Candice drives the back of her head into the nose of Harlow Reichert! Harlow still has that bodyscissors on Candice Blair in tight though as she rolls over to her stomach, causing Candice’s shoulders to touch the mat, turning it into a pin fall.
ONNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEE-
Eve: KICKOUT FROM CANDICE! Harlow almost got her right there as the two women get to their feet. Candice gets the advantage by kicking Harlow in the midsection. AND CANDICE BRINGS THE FACE OF HARLOW DOWN ONTO HER KNEE WITH A FACEBREAKER! This stuns Harlow Reichert who’s down on all fours after that facebreaker.
Gavin Kirkland: Down on all fours you say? :mjlit:
Eve: :snoop: You are the literal worst.
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t be mad cuz I stan the goddesses in that ring. :mjpls:
Deadprez: Harlow Reichert has made it to her knees but Candice Blair begins landing some shoot kicks to the sternum of Harlow Reichert. Candice looks to land the final strike in the form of a roundhouse to the head.
Eve: HARLOW DUCKS UNDER!! SCHOOL BOY FROM HARLOW!! SHE ROLLS CANDICE TO HER KNEES AND LANDS A SUPERKICK! Finally popping off the move she was attempting earlier. Harlow quickly brings Candice to her feet, hooks the arms…THE DIVINE COMEDY!!!!
Deadprez: CANDICE MANAGED TO ESCAPE AT THE LAST MINUTE AND SHE KICKS HARLOW’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HER! CANDICE GETS HARLOW IN A POWERBOMB POSITION AND SHE FLIPS OVER FOR THE CANDY DESTROYER!!! THE FLIP PILEDRIVER FROM CANDICE! WAIT A MINUTE, HARLOW HAD IT SCOUTED AND BACK BODY DROPPED CANDICE OVER HER HEAD BUT CANDICE MANAGED TO LAND ON HER FEET AND SHE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES FOR THE BICYCLE KNE- HARLOW SIDE STEPS AND SPRINGS OFF THE ROPES FOR A BACK ELBOW!!! Candice attempts to roll to the outside of the ring, but Harlow catches her and attempts a cover. The referee gets into position!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S IT! ITS OVER!!
Eve: Not just yet! The referee notices that Candice secured her foot on the rope during the count! You can see Harlow just get a bit frustrated. Candice Blair has posted into the corner after escaping that pinfall and Harlow not only follows but begins laying in a rapid fire flurry of European Uppercuts!
(Virtual Crowd goes crazier and crazier for each uppercut Harlow lands on Candice.)
Eve: Harlow wraps the arms around a dazed Candice and these two are belly-to-belly, and Harlow looks to release Candice overhead with a belly to belly Suplex! But Candice has managed to wrap her leg around Harlow’s which has prevented her from hoisting Candice up. And Candice uses her free hands to bell clap the ears of Harlow Reichert who has to release the belly to belly as that bell clap has thrown her off her balance. Now Candice clasps the arm of Harlow Reichert, AND DROPS HER WITH AN INVERTED STOMP FACEBREAKER! Harlow Reichert falls back but is able to use the middle rope to keep herself somewhat standing.
Gavin Kirkland: Candice is sizing Harlow up, AND SHE CHARGES HER WITH A SPEAR!!! NOBODY HOME!! HARLOW DUCKED DOWN TO EVADE THE SPEAR AND CANDICE GOES FLYING TO THE OUTSIDE! Both competitors are down getting some much needed recovery time.
Eve: Yeah, this match has been back and forth between these two. And you know what the crazy thing is? This is just an Extreme Elimination Chamber PREVIEW. Imagine what’s gonna happen at Road to Redemption. Especially with the talent that not only these two possess but the other four women possess as well. The Specialists EEC certainly has combustible written all over it. But now Harlow begins to stir in the ring as she rolls onto the apron. Candice Blair begins to make it to her feet as well and I don’t think she has any what’s coming at Harlow builds up steam to deliver…A PENALTY KICK TO THE FACE OF CANDICE BLAIR!! OR SO I THOUGHT AS CANDICE MANAGED TO EVADE THE KICK BY ARCHING BACKWARDS FOR A MATRIX STYLE EVASION! Candice looks to trip Harlow up, BUT HARLOW JUMP OVER THE ARM OF CANDICE AND THIS TIME CONNECTS WITH THE PENALTY KICK THAT DAMN NEAR TOOK CANDICE’S FACE CLEAN OFF! HARLOW TAKES A RISK AND SHE HOPS OFF THE APRON TO LAND A SHOTGUN STYLE DROPKICK TO CANDICE BLAIR THAT SENDS HER INTO THE BARRICADE!
Deadprez: You could see the head of Candice Blair bounce off the plexiglass from that dropkick. Both women are down and the referee begins his count.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Deadprez: Both women need to find a way back into the ring before the ref reaches the end of his count. But Candice Blair may not be doing that anytime soon as she remains seemingly unconscious on the barricade after that dropkick. Harlow is able to stir as she begins working her way back to her feet.
Referee: FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGH-
Deadprez: Harlow breaks the referee’s count as she slides in the ring and slides back out! Harlow doesn’t wanna win by count out, she wants to beat Candice Blair in the middle of the ring. As she begins attempting to bring the limp-bodied Candice Blair into the ring. Harlow struggles a bit with the task but she’s eventually able to roll Candice in. And Harlow immediately goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREE-
Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE BLAIR GETS THE SHOULDER UP! And you have to think that the time she had to recover on the outside helped her in doing so. As after that dropkick connected, it seemed that Candice was out cold. Harlow brings Candice to her feet and she lifts Candice to the top turnbuckle as Candice now faces Harlow back-first. Harlow brings the arm of Candice around her head and looks to land a belly-to-back suplex from the top rope.
Deadprez: CANDICE BEGINS TO FIGHT OUT OF IT! She’s throwing punches into the face of Harlow who gets knocked off from the top rope after Candice back elbows her. Harlow is still on her feet as Candice turns around, AND TAKES TO THE SKIES WITH A- HARLOW ATTEMPTS TO RUSH CANDICE BEFORE SHE CAN DIVE OFF BUT CANDICE HAS THIS SCOUTED AND LEAPS OVER HARLOW! CANDICE MANAGES TO TUCK AND ROLL AND SHE CHARGES AT HARLOW FOR A TILT-A-WHIRL CROSSBODY! IT CONNECTS!
Eve: Both women scramble to their feet after that move! Harlow attempts to catch Candice with a leaping lariat- BUT CANDICE DUCKS UNDER AND HANDSPRINGS OFF THE ROPES FOR A CRISP STUNNER!! Harlow falls back into the corner! CANDICE CHARGES IN FOR CORNER SPEAR! It takes the winds out of Harlow who stumbles out of the corner to meet a BICYCLE KNEE FROM CANDICE BLAIR!!!
Deadprez: That knee just knocked Harlow silly and something tells me this is the beginning of the end. Candice Blair hooks Harlow up in a powerbomb position. CANDY DESTROYE- Harlow just collapses down to the mat. Can’t even stand on her own two feet. That knee must’ve really done a number on her. Candice attempts to lift Harlow to her feet agai- ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE!! HARLOW PLAYED POSSUM AND PULLED CANDICE IN FOR THE TRIANGLE CHOKE!! CANDICE IS FLAILING, SHES LOOKING FOR SOME ESCAPE FROM THIS HOLD! YOU CAN SEE THOSE EYES SLOWLY DRIFTING OFF! HARLOW MAY JUST PULL THIS ONE OFF HERE!
Eve: CANDICE HAS MANAGED TO GET A VERTICAL BASE AND SHE’S TRYING TO PIVOT HERSELF TOWARDS MORE THE SIDE OF HARLOW REICHERT!
Deadprez: Candice is successful and she manages to escape the triangle by delivering a stomp to the head of Harlow who has no choice but to let go of it. Candice regains her composure and she charges over at Harlow who lands a knee that connects right under the chin of Candice! CANDICE CRUMPLES TO THE MAT AND HARLOW WASTES NO TIME TO SECURE LES MISÉRABLES! THE TWISTER IS LOCKED IN AND CANDICE BLAIR HAS NOWHERE TO GO! YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE AGONY ON CANDICE’S FACE AS SHE TAPS OUT! CANDICE BLAIR TAPS OUT!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Eye of the Tiger’ by New Found Glory plays over the PA again and Harlow releases the submission hold as she gets her hand raised by the referee to the enjoyment of the fans who roar loudly after that victory for Harlow.)
Gina Romano: HERE’S YOUR WINNER…HARLOW REICHERT!!!!
Eve: It was a hard fought match between both of these ladies but in the end, it’s Harlow who reigned supreme.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: I would’ve been sad to see either of these two lose but in the end it’s a victory for Thicclow.
Deadprez: Harlow has managed to get some momentum ahead of Road to Redemption, but hang on. It seems like we could be seeing part two right here between these two.
(Candice walks over to Harlow and the two shake hands to show a sign of respect for each other.)
Deadprez: You love to see it! Glad to see there’s still sportsmanship between these two even after that hard-hitting match.
Eve: WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! FROM BEHIND, HARLOW AND CANDICE ARE ATTACKED BY NINA BRAVO AND LISA WREN!! THESE TWO SEEM TO BE GETTING THE JUMP ON COMPETITION AS THEY ARE BEATING DOWN HARLOW AND CANDICE AFTER THAT BLINDSIDE ATTACK!
Deadprez: OH- WAIT! HERE COMES ALEXIS CHAMBERS! CERTAINLY DIDN’T EXPECT HER TO BE A NAME OUT HERE AS SHE JOINS THE FIGHT AND THIS THING TURNS INTO AN ALL OUT BRAWL!
Gavin Kirkland: Lisa Wren turns around to eat a “KISS TO THE HEAD” FROM NINA BRAVO WHO JUST TOOK LISA WREN OUT WITH THAT BULLHAMMER ELBOW! This is all out chaos!
Eve: IT SEEMS THAT’S WHAT ATTRACTED OUR SPECIALISTS CHAMPION AS KASEY KAOS RUNS DOWN AND JOINS THE CHAOS!
Deadprez: And in the commotion, THERES THE “FOH” FROM ALEXIS CHAMBERS TO NINA BRAVO WHO GETS TAKEN OUT HERSELF THIS TIME WITH THAT SHINING WIZARD FROM ALEXIS! ALEXIS DOESNT GET TO TRIUMPH THOUGH AS HARLOW COMES BACK INTO THE FRAY WITH “THE ATONEMENT!” BACKFLIP DDT BRINGS DOWN ALEXIS!
Eve: MEANWHILE, KASEY KAOS TAKES OUT CANDICE BLAIR WITH THE SPEAR!! And then there were two as Harlow and Kasey Kaos are the only ones left standing.
(Harlow Reichert and Kasey Kaos stare each other down as the crowd erupts with excitement for this confrontation.)
Eve: KASEY KAOS LOOKS TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE BY CHARGING AT HARLOW WITH THE SPEAR! BUT HARLOW HAS IT SCOUTED AND SIDE STEPS IT! AND HARLOW BRINGS KASEY DOWN WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! Harlow looks around at the damage done and she drags Kasey adjacent to the turnbuckle and Harlow begins to ascend.
Deadprez: WUTHERING HEIGHTS!! CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS AS HARLOW JUMPS TO HER FEET AND STANDS TALL ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE! COULD THIS BE THE SCENE COME ROAD TO REDEMPTION?!
(We fade out with a shot of Harlow Reichert standing tall while there is a pool of bodies that lie inside and outside of the ring.)
(Commercial for a new t-shirt being sold EAWShop that reads “#MylesLovesAdriana 👉👈”)
(The scene opens into the same unknown location as the other two interviews tonight, where Kyra Phillips is sitting six feet across from Andrea Valentine.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome…Andrea Valentine!
(Andrea acknowledges Kyra.)
Kyra Phillips: First off, before we talk about the future. I wanna talk about the past a little bit. We all have seen these glimpses inside of you this entire season dating back to Dynasty where it looked like you weren’t your normal self, doing out of character type stuff. We all wondered if it was just anger, or something else. I guess we got our answer at Reasonable Doubt when you beat down Harlow after the match. And then the way you defeated Jon last week before your assault on Jamie afterwards. I know that you gave your reasonings two weeks ago, but do you have any sliver of regret over your actions the past few weeks?
Andrea Valentine: Was that supposed to be some kind of serious question? If the other week was any indication of what’s going through my mind or how I’m feeling, I think I made it pretty fucking clear what my intentions are, and nowhere in there was even the slightest bit of doubt or regret about what I’ve done. I think the question that everyone should be asking themselves is, why should I feel any other way? Am I supposed to feel bad because of what I did to Harlow? What about Jon and Jamie? Because I don’t. The way I see it, I have no reason to! I said I was going to use the match to make a statement and I know I did that, and better yet, I did it all on my terms like I said I would. I wasn’t expecting Jamie to come rushing to Jon’s rescue in such a hurry but since Jamie wanted to throw himself into the line of fire so bad, why not take it all one step further and put the Answers World Champion down also?! Did I not say I see no opportunity as being off-limits for me the other week, even while going into my match against Jon Kelton? Well, if they didn’t know already, I’m sure those two certainly do now! 😁
Kyra Phillips: I gotta say, it’s really saddening to hear that.
(Andrea shakes her head and laughs, while it’s clear that Kyra is failing to see the amusement in anything right now.)
Andrea Valentine: Honestly, I expected you to say that, but it is what it is. It’s not like anyone has really cared to stop and to think about the bullshit I was facing, which only gets made clearer whenever someone tries to speak on the whole thing, so why should I care for anyone else?
Kyra Phillips: I think you’re wrong on that. You had so many young girls looking up to you, and I think it’s safe to say you’re crushing them with this new change of attitude. Is there anything you wanna say addressing them who bought your merchandise and thought of you as their role model?
Andrea Valentine: Then I’d just have to ask, what exactly is all different? What’s so shocking? I was always telling them to go after what they wanted and to not stop no matter how many times they might’ve been knocked down or faced with an obstacle. As far as I’m concerned, have I not done exactly all of that even now in the last two or so weeks alone?! I went after what I wanted and not one of you can say that I sure as fuck didn’t get it: I won my match against Jon Kelton and I made my statement, knowing that I’m going into that Chamber match with everything it’d take to win and that I’d do it all again if it means winning the Answers World Championship! But if anyone wants to get upset because of what happened the other week or because of what happened to poor, poor Harlow, then they have to know that I just don’t care; they can join in on whatever lame hashtag she’s looking to try to get trending next! But at the end of day, I’m looking out for myself and putting myself ahead of all that because it’s doing that that’s gonna take me to where I want to go, that’s what I know is gonna get me the success I want – not what Susan from Nebraska thinks about the message I could be sending to her daughter by trying to kick Jamie’s dick to pieces in an effort to let him know I’ve got every intention of taking that Answers World Title off of him.
(Kyra shakes her head in a bit of disgust.)
Kyra Phillips: Well, I guess, we move on to the Extreme Elimination Chamber Match. And I guess we’ll start with last week with your attack on the champion, Jamie O’Hara.
(Andrea cracks a smirk.)
Kyra Phillips: Why did you feel the need to attack Jamie from behind like that in such a brutal fashion as you did? What were you trying to prove?
Andrea Valentine: I’m not gonna be one of those idiots that acts like Jamie hasn’t established himself in the ways he’s needed to, everyone knows he has. But why I did what I did goes even beyond that: no one was expecting it. It’s so simple but before I rushed back into the ring, I knew it’d be effective, and I know it caught plenty of people – most importantly, Jamie – off guard. It’s that kind of thing that the both of us know can be a drawback of the Chamber match and honestly, I’m not ashamed to say that I’d look to put it into full effect whenever the chance is there against him or anyone else, because if what went down the other week plays out the same way in the Chamber, not only would Jamie be leaving from the match completely empty-handed but you’d be looking at me at the end of it all as the new Answers World Champion. I picked and chose my moment to strike and it couldn’t have been anymore obvious that it paid off that night; I’d do it all again exact same way if given the chance! But when I’m getting my hands on that Championship the next time, it won’t just be as a sign of things to come – it’ll just finally and officially be mine.
Kyra Phillips: You actually are no stranger to this kind of match. You competed in this match in both 2018, and last year, and you won both of them and walked out with championships. Do you think you can pull it off for a third straight year?
Andrea Valentine: Again with these totally fucked questions, what the fuck is wrong with you? Who the hell hired you and how’d you even end up getting this job? Was that even a real question you just asked? :wtf:
Kyra Phillips: What I’m trying to ask is, how are you preparing yourself? Are you as confident as you were in previous years?
Andrea Valentine: Ummmm, why wouldn’t I be? We just talked about what happened last week, and I’m pretty sure the way I looked said it all while I was holding that Answers World Championship, and I know I looked great with it! 😍
Kyra Phillips: Well, it’s just that some have said throughout the Season that you have been “unmotivated.” Has that been a reason in your shift in attitude and does it play a factor going into the chamber of trying to prove that narrative wrong?
Andrea Valentine: “Has that been the reason”?! Imagine me, after all this time, letting that be what caused a change when there was other shit said about me last Season that I didn’t even bother to get into. People have consistently made their wrong assumptions about the situation, but really, I don’t know how many times I’m gonna have to explain that I’ve just been insanely annoyed by everything for shit to be the way it’s been. There was Veena stopping a match, which pretty much seemingly set the precedent for everything to come next; we had Minerva doing everything she could for a mental advantage by dragging Serena’s deceased relative into their drama just to then turn around and cry about how she suddenly cared for the integrity of competition or whatever, which ultimately led to her interfering in my match; and then Veena tried to make Nina and Viz’s life hell because of her drama with them by trying to capitalize on my involvement with them, because we all know her biggest kink is breaking a World Champion down to bend to her will if she feels she can’t control them from the get-go. And who can forget all the other interferences and Viz’s instance on the games he was playing? And did I ever tell everyone how much I love a no contest finish?! Never mind the fact someone attacked Xavier Williams before Reasonable Doubt and left me to take the accusation, when that was a match I wanted just in case that wasn’t clear enough the first 47494957 times. 😃 But like, yeah, for sure, totally all a reason for me to roll over in the morning and act like everything’s just going sooooo great! Love that for me! But I’m not gonna feel any type of way in the slightest bit for how the way I was feeling seemed to manifest itself, but I know what I can do with a World Championship and when I do win it, those same people can keep saying what they want because regardless of all of them, I fully expect to get everything I want out of what’d be a second World Title reign.
Kyra Phillips: Jamie has been a dominant champion so far. What would it mean to you to be the one to dethrone him?
Andrea Valentine: I mean, what haven’t I proven already? Just an example, but I defeated DEDEDE to successfully defend the EAW World Championship when I had it. We all know he can be crazy as fuck when he wants to be, and that when DEDEDE is determined to accomplish something that there could be almost no stopping him, but I stood in the way of that when it came to us. That’s why taking the title away from Jamie would just serve as another example as to how being a World Champion is just another thing that I can have for myself again, and I’m ready to take that on.
Kyra Phillips: What would it do for the legacy of Andrea Valentine to win three straight Chamber matches?
Andrea Valentine: I think it’d prove that this is a match for me to excel in. I’ve entered last and won, I’ve entered from a starting position and lasted through to the end before I won – winning a third Chamber match is something I know I’m capable of! If that title wasn’t in reach, I wouldn’t have taken on this match anyway when Ryan Wilson arrived to let me know that I was personally being selected for this match, no qualifying match necessary and he clearly knows all of that to be true himself. I’m sure as fuck not gonna be the one to complain if I can have it like this. 😌 I’m sure someone out there will call it undeservingly convenient for me or what-the-fuck-ever they decide to run with for the next two weeks or so, but someone ask me if I care! What’s really important, is me and everyone knowing that I have all the capabilities of winning this match; if people thought Jamie was the biggest threat, then what I have to say is that those same people don’t realize that walking away from after watching the match surprised and shocked is something they don’t know they’re in for, clearly.
Kyra Phillips: Any last message you wanna get across to your Chamber opponents?
Andrea Valentine: A lot of them are gonna talk for days and days and days over the next couple of weeks about how they’re going to want to go into the Chamber to prove their superiority or whatever, and why X, Y, and Z aren’t ready for becoming a World Champion in their eyes, but there’s only two people going into the Chamber who can actually say they know what it’s like to be at the top with a World Title. One of those people is me. Just because there’s been stuff that hasn’t gone my way for a while doesn’t mean shit to me – not Territorial Invasion with Viz, not Reasonable Doubt with Harlow. There was always gonna be more for me once either of those things came to pass after the fact and what that looks like is a third Chamber win! Everyone got their warning when I first got to Showdown about me wanting to get ahead and get to the top, and everyone knows what that looks like now after it took on even more of a whole new meaning last week. The Chamber calls for someone to do anything and everything necessary to be the last one standing, and one way or another, there’s been a way for me to do that the last two times – winning for a third time in a row would just be historic and I couldn’t think of anything better for one of the best to ever do it! 🥰
Kyra Phillips: Well, I guess that’s all the questions I have for you. Thanks for joining us, Andrea.
(Andrea Valentine takes the mic clip from her shirt and tosses it in the face of Kyra as she walks away from the scene. Kyra looks on disappointed.)
(Final commercial break.)
(The camera pans to Gina Romano standing inside the ring, ready to announce the competitors.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!!
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin echoes throughout the World 1 arena and the Answers World Champion steps out onto the stage to a loud ovation from the virtual fans watching at home.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 190 pounds…HE IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…AND THE ACE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING….JAMIE OOOOO’HAAAARRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Eve: As we prepare for our main event, here comes Jamie O’Hara. A man who certainly is gonna have his work cut out for him at Road to Redemption as he competes in one of the most unforgiving structures in EAW, a match that he is no stranger to in the EEC, against six other hungry challengers for his Answers World Title.
Deadprez: Yes, and he looks to take on one of those challengers in the form of SKA who is no slouch in that ring by any means. He will certainly give Jamie O’Hara a run for his money tonight.
(Jamie O’Hara settles in the ring as ‘The Negative’ by Silent Season replaces ‘Kashmir’ which gets a mixed reaction from fans as SKA is expected to come through the curtain but doesn’t show up.)
Gavin Kirkland: We sure SKA didn’t miss his cue or something?
Deadprez: I hear these themes sometimes sound alike to him. :mjpls: Wait- I’m getting word of something going on backstage.
(We cut to gorilla position to see Andrea Valentine assaulting a downed SKA. The referees and officials are doing their best to pry Andrea off of SKA and they eventually are able to as they take her away from SKA. Medics check SKA to see if he can still continue as we cut back to the announcers table.)
Eve: WHAT THE HELL HAS GOTTEN INTO ANDREA VALENTINE?! She assaults SKA and may have just ruined our planned main event for Showdown. Ryan Wilson cannot be happy about this.
Deadprez: Jamie clearly isn’t as he doesn’t seem happy with Andrea injecting herself into the situation.
(‘The Negative’ by Silent Season begins to play over the PA system again and SKA begins making his way down to the ring at a ginger pace from being attacked.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent! Hailing from Rotterdam, Netherlands, weighing in at 269 pounds…he is “GENERATIONAL” S-K-A!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Well, it seems that SKA is indeed going forward with the match. Can’t say this is too wise, but SKA prides himself on honor.
Deadprez: Well, that honor gonna get the kid hurt cause most people can’t even beat Jamie at 100%. What SKA gon’ do at 50%?
Eve: Jamie O’Hara himself doesn’t even seem to know what to make of this.
(SKA makes it in the ring and the referee gives him one last check before ringing the bell.
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The bell rings and SKA immediately extends his hand which Jamie shakes as the two back up into their respective corners.)
Deadprez: Nice to see sportsmanship between these two. BUT SKA WASTES NO TIME AND HE UNLOADING A BUNCH OF STRIKES ON JAMIE O’HARA IN THE CORNER!!! SKA knows he’s a wounded animal out there and he is bringing everything he has to Jamie to avoid being put down as SKA looks to Irish whip Jamie off the ropes.
Eve: SKA attempts a lariat but Jamie has it well scouted as he ducks under as uses the momentum to his advantage to catch SKA with a slingblade. SKA certainly wasn’t expecting that as he jumps back to his feet only to meet a bicycle knee from the champion! SKA looks to immediately regroup on the inside but he isn’t gonna have home to there long AS JAMIE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES FOR A SUICIDE DI- NO!!! SKA catches Jamie with a right hand!
Gavin Kirkland: He had it scouted as SKA scales to the top rope, champion is down! FROG SPLASH BY SKA!! THE 269 POUNDS JUST CAME CRASHING DOWN ON JAMIE O’HARA WHO ROLLS IN AGONY! BUT THE BEATDOWN ANDREA VALENTINE GAVE HIM EARLIER SEEMS TO BE TAKING ITS TOLL AS SKA IS HURT AS WELL! However, he manages to scramble for the cover on our champion!
Referee: OOONNNNEEEEEEEE!! TWWWOO- KICKOUT!
Gavin Kirkland: Jamie O’Hara manages to stay alive. Maybe in relation to the fact that SKA wasn’t able to capitalize on the frog splash immediately as he brings O’Hara back to his feet. It looks like SKA could be going for a twist of fate but Jamie O’Hara fights out of it AND LANDS A SUPERKICK ON THE JAW OF SKA!! JAMIE O’HARA HOOKS SKA UP AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BE GOING FOR A SINGLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER!
Eve: SKA HAS TOO MUCH FIGHT IN HIM AS WELL AS HE PUSHES JAMIE AWAY AND SPINS AROUND FOR A DISCUS LARIAT THAT DAMN NEAR KNOCKS JAMIE’S HEAD OFF!! JAMIE IS DEFINITELY KNOCKED A LITTLE LOOPY! SKA TAKES THIS MOMENT TO TAKE TO THE SKIES WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT BUT THERE’S NOBODY HOME AS JAMIE O’HARA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY LAST MINUTE!!
Gavin Kirkland: NOW THE CHAMPION LIGHTS UP THE CHEST OF SKA WITH SOME MACHINE GUN LIKE BACKHAND CHOPS WHICH SENDS SKA INTO THE CORNER! JAMIE CHARGES FOR A FOREARM STRIKE THAT CONNECTS FLUSH! HE CHARGES FOR ANOTHER BUT THIS TIME SKA GETS THE BOOT UP!!
Deadprez: SKA HOPS ON THE MIDDLE ROPE AND DIVES OFF WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THAT TAKES JAMIE DOWN! And SKA immediately puts the grounded Jamie in a chinlock. Smart plan, maybe wanting to keep that current momentum on his side, get some recovery time, and maybe tire out the Answers World Champion.
Eve: That plan could be coming to fruition as he’s really wrenching on that hold.
Gavin Kirkland: If he’s gonna have him in that chinlock for a few minutes, I might as well go check the old wrestlewiththepl-
Eve: LOOK! JAMIE O’HARA IS BACK TO ONE KNEE, SKA STILL TRYING TO KEEP THAT CHINLOCK IN AS JAMIE BEGINS DRIVING THE BACK OF HIS ELBOW INTO THE MIDSECTION OF SKA!
Deadprez: SKA LOOKS TO CHANGE UP HIS PLAN AS HE TRANSITIONS INTO A SLEEPER HOLD BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO SLIP OUT THE BACK AND DROPS SKA DOWN WITH A BACK SUPLEX! The champion is beginning to rally here. SKA gets back to his feet but O’Hara isn’t far behind as he catches SKA with a flying forearm! ANOTHER FLYING FOREARM!
Eve: SKA LOOKS TO SHUT JAMIE DOWN RIGHT HERE WITH A LARIAT BUT JAMIE DUCKS UNDER AND CATCHES SKA WITH A BACK KICK TO THE STOMACH! SKA DROPS TO ONE KNEE AND JAMIE CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF SKA THAT SENDS HIM IN RETREAT TO THE OUTSIDE! AND MUCH LIKE EARLIER, JAMIE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND THIS TIME SKA DOESNT HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AS JAMIE CATCHES HIM WITH THE LOW-PE SUICIDA!!! JAMIE GOES UNDER THE MIDDLE ROPE! AND HE ROLLS SKA BACK INTO THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: It’s beginning to spell out the beginning of the end for SKA! JAMIE HOOKS HIM UP FOR THE GALACTIC BUSTER!!! PUMPHANDLE LUNGBLO- WAIT!!! SKA USES MOMENTUM TO HIS ADVANTAGE TO SLIP OUT OVER THE SHOULDER OF JAMIE O’HARA!! SKA WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST OF JAMIE AND BRINGS HIM OFF THE ROPES TO SECURE AN O’CONNOR ROLL…NO! SKA ROLLS IT THROUGH AND DROPS JAMIE ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!! THE FINNISH SUPLEX OF SKA CONNECTS!!
Deadprez: I can’t believe I’m saying this but SKA may just beat Jamie O’Hara even after the attack he suffered from Andrea! SKA begins to post in the corner and Jamie is attempting to make it back to his feet! SKA RUSHES FOR A PERFECTUS!!!!
Eve: JAMIE SIDE STEPS IT AND GETS SKA IN A SCHOOL BOY BUT NOT FOR LONG AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND DRIVES HIS FEET IN THE CHEST OF SKA WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!! And almost out of instinct, SKA attempts to get back up to his feet. JAMIE BRINGS THE GROGGY SKA UP FOR A BACK SUP- VISUAL IDENTITY!!! JAMIE TRANSITIONED IT INTO THE PILEDRIVER!! SKA IS MOTIONLESS!!
(The crowd watching at home begin to erupt as they know what’s coming next.)
Gavin Kirkland: JAMIE ASCENDS TO THE TOP ROPE AND LEAPS DOWN ONTO SKA WITH THE GENKI CANNON!!!!!! DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! AND THAT PUTS THE EXCLAMATION MARK ON THIS MATCH UP! JAMIE HOOKS THE LEGS!!
Referee: OOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!! TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin plays over the PA as a victorious Jamie O’Hara gets his hand raised by the referee.)
Gina Romano: HERE’S YOUR WINNER…JAMIE O’HARA!!
Deadprez: AW SHUCKY DUCKY! What a match between these two. SKA really did everything he could to secure a victory out there against the Answers World Champion but like many others he comes up short.
Eve: We can’t entirely blame that on SKA though as we need to keep in mind he was attacked by Andrea Valentine who’s definitely been having her new attitude on display since Reasonable Doubt. But nonetheless, I don’t wanna take anything away from these two men, they fought hard against each other.
Gavin Kirkland: Speaking of hard, I was certainly hard when that blonde beauty was on my monitor.
Eve: Gavin, you know what the best part is about the show ending?
Gavin Kirkland: What’s that? Not having to hear your voice.
(Jamie O’Hara makes his way to the back as a disappointed SKA begins walk up the ramp.)
Eve: WHAT THE- LUCAS JOHNSON JUST BLASTED SKA WITH A CLAYMORE KICK!!! AND HE IS JUST BEATING THE EVER LOVING HELL OUT OF SKA AS ALBERT HITCHMAN WATCHES ON!
Deadprez: Lucas said that he would make a statement and this is certainly a way to do so. We are gonna need some medics for SKA as Lucas Johnson doesn’t seem to be looking to stop his onslaught any time soon.
(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ from Mick Gordon begins to play and Ryan Wilson comes down onto the stage with a mic in hand and a smirk on his face as Lucas releases his mount on SKA to hear what Ryan has to say.)
Ryan Wilson: Lucas, I must say I’m impressed with this new version of you that’s been showing up as of late. Where has THIS Lucas been this season? This version of you looks investable. Hell, this version of you looks like someone who would do great in our Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption. And I know what you’re thinking, isn’t that match already full? Well, not anymore because…
(Ryan Wilson stands over the limp body of SKA and bends over to say…)
Ryan Wilson: YOU’RE FIRED!!!!
Eve: What? Fired? Can Ryan Wilson do this?
Gavin Kirkland: He’s the Showdown General Manager, of course he can do this.
Ryan Wilson: Congratulations Lucas, you are now the sixth and final member, replacing SKA in the Extreme Elimination Chamber match!
(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ plays over the PA again and Ryan Wilson makes his way to the back as Lucas Johnson’s hand is raised by Albert Hitchman in celebration of this big announcement.)
Eve: I can’t believe this…why would Ryan Wilson just flat out fire SKA?
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know but what I do know is that we could be looking at the future Answers World Champion and our time is running out.
Deadprez: WELL, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, AND GOOD NIGHT FROM THE WORLD 1 THEATRE!
