(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of last week’s show. Raven Roberts and Madison Kaline talk to the crowd, Raven solidifying that she came back after a long time of not having any energy to come back, she came back to fight against Devolution and their antics. Pandora and Halsey come out as well as the four women go on a quick back and forth before they solidify this will be a past versus future match. Clayton Golde defeats Roque Santa Cruz. Kennedy Street tells Mattias Burke that he will have a special match in the Christmas Show. Auburn Ware defeats Jade Phoenix. Usagi Senshi and ARIA have another back and forth, before Usagi drops a bombshell on ARIA, revealing to her that she was the sole reason why her wrestling career starting out in Japan was hell, as this reveal makes ARIA snap and attack Usagi, promising her she will send her to purgatory at RTR. Jon Kelton defeats Ashlynn Quinn with Veena attacking him after his match, and later, Veena cuts a passionate promo promising that she will win the National Elite Championship back. Halsey Neel is able to steal a win against Madison Kaline. Heidi Huxley announces that Candice Blair, Miku Sakai and Delilah Rose are in a four person brand crossover tag match at RTR. Kennedy is angry at Damien for disappointing the past few weeks but after some convincing, Kennedy tells Damian that she will give him a second chance. Veena Adams is able to defeat Usagi Senshi as Kelton tries to ambush her but Veena is able to dodge just in time. Heidi Huxley demands Caroline to come out, as she finally appears, and after some talking, Heidi announces Caroline will be forced in the four person brand crossover tag match, Caroline is forced to accept but she shoots some black mist at Heidi’s face before leaving. And in the main event, all of the participants in the Showdown EEC participate in a 6 man tag match that ends in a draw as all the participants end up brawling with each other as security and referees rush to separate them.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of Desert Financial Arena in Tempe, Arena. Blue fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the Showdown crowd can be seen cheering in excitement. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators.)
Eve: Welcome everybody…TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!! We are just one week away from Road to Redemption as we look forward to various exciting match-ups in the Marquee Event!
Gavin Kirkland: EXACTLY EVE, AND AS WELL AS THE MATCH-UPS TONI- Oh, wait, nevermind, we don’t have those tonight.
Deadprez: But we do have various match recaps from other RTR events as well as us hearing from all of our Showdown elitists as we head into Road to Redemption, so without wasting any more time-
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S GET RIGHT ON WITH THE SHOW! :blessed:
(“Her” by Megan Thee Stallion plays throughout the arena as Kennedy Street in tight black pants, boots and a blue blouse paces in the ring, AJAX stands in the corner. She doesn’t look very happy, and is ready to address the crowd and the roster as the General Manager grabs the mic to speak as her theme slowly starts to fade.)
Kennedy Street: What Kennie needs right now is for all of you here to shut up and let me speak.
(The crowd boos loudly.)
Kennedy Street: Anyway. Let Kennie start off by saying that this is a very important time for the Showdown Brand with Road to Redemption next week. The matches which represent this brand are showcased and will follow one of the most successful Marquee Events for Showdown since Kennie took over as General Manager, in The Last Stand. Now, we have blood feuds, titles on the line, incredible tag matches and probably the most stacked Extreme Elimination Chamber on the card and one for the history books.
(She pauses for a moment, before looking into the camera.)
Kennedy Street: And this is why all of those matches need to set the bar high to the point that no one can say that Dynasty nor Voltage could outshine them or the Blue Brand. But it seems like there is a bit of an attitude problem here, that the locker room forgot who is in charge and who can make their lives a living hell! Oh, Kennie has heard it all these past few weeks, from the terms “Lazy Booking” to “Predictable”, to just simply disrespecting Kennie because all of them can’t run a brand like I do. I really thought the problem was gone after the draft, but Kennie was obviously wrong.
(The crowd boos at Kennedy who just shakes her head.)
Kennedy Street: SHUT UP! WHEN KENNIE TALKS, YOU LISTEN!
(The crowd continues to boo as Kennedy paces, AJAX tries to calm her down, but she tells him to stay away.)
Kennedy Street: Kennie has invested a lot of time and money on certain Elitists who were supposed to be the faces of this brand have used their platforms as grievances toward Kennie! Then, if it doesn’t get any worse then what Caroline did to Heidi Huxley who went blind after she had that goo sprayed in her eyes! She can’t even do her job right now and is out indefinitely, well Kennie sure as hell isn’t going to do this by herself, so she had to turn to her best friend, a woman that was Kennie’s tag team partner, who was a champion with Kennie and was a former World Champion herself.
(The crowd suddenly is silenced; they look at the entranceway waiting for who they think they know is coming out.)
Kennedy Street:: And she will play the role of Assistant General Manager for Kennie and handle ALL Disney operations as well while Heidi is gone…. Here she is….. “The GOOD Girl”… ALANA STARR!
(“Good Girl” by Carrie Underwood” cranks up in the arena as the crowd erupts in boos and cheers as the very eccentric former tag team partner of Kennedy Street slowly walks out, the gorgeous Alana Starr with a huge smile on her face, slowly walks out and many have not seen her for some time. She does slap a few hands as she heads to the ring.)
Deadprez: Alana Starr!? For those outside of the EAW, Alanna Starr was an incredible wrestler who is still young and a highflyer that really put that genre on the map, she is coming out here and is connected to the hip of Kennedy Street!
Eve: I always wondered when she would show up and all it took was for Heidi Huxley to get blinded by Caroline! She is definitely a personality to say the least!
Gavin Kirkland: I….. I am in love…… I am in love…. I…..
(Alana Starr hops on the apron and flips over the ropes showing her agility, she then embraces with Kennedy Street as they once made the tag team, Flawless Goodness. Kennedy is elated and hands the mic over to Alana as the music dies down.)
Alana Starr: Oh wow, thank you so much for the reaction, that feels really GOOD!
(Known for emphasizing the word “GOOD”, the crowd pops.)
Alana Starr: I have to admit, when Kennedy made the call, I was super excited to be here and help her out with all of this bull sugar. Yeah, I still don’t curse and that is not about to start but I just want to say that what Kennie wants, Kennie gets. I am not happy that Kennie has had to deal with these things and poor Heidi, she didn’t deserve that, but I want to promise you one thing, Kennie, that we will make sure that the Showdown roster understands just how lucky they are to have you!
Kennedy Street: Oh Alana, thank you so much honey, Kennie loves you!
Alana Starr: Oh…. I love you too!
(They hug again as the fans boo. Kennedy raises her arms with Alana as “Good Girl” by Carrie Underwood starts to play. Kennedy has a huge smile on her face knowing that her friend is now there to help her take care of the disrespect and lawlessness of Showdown.)
Deadprez: What does this mean for Showdown now? Heidi is down, and she isa here and will speak tonight about what happened, but until she gets her sight back, it looks like Alana Starr will be taking over and it looks like our General Manager has had enough!
Eve: That might be the angriest I have ever seen Kennedy Street. So she went to someone that she trusts and knowing how “nice” Alana is, this is going to be really interesting to say the least.
Gavin Kirkland: I am in love…. I…. I don’t know what else to say than that.
(Kennedy and Alana continue to hold their hands high as it fades into a commercial break)
(Showdown came back from commercials and it tuned now into backstage, as it showed a television screen propped up on the wall and then the camera turned quickly towards Kyra Phillips, standing there with a microphone on her hand and a small smile on her face, and once she noticed the camera was recording, she cleared her throat and then started speaking towards it.)
Kyra Phillips: Hello to everyone watching, I am Kyra Phillips and here I am to bring you a special segment for all of you, as you all know, Road to Redemption is just around the corner with various incredible matches that our Showdown Elitists will participate in, jaw dropping Extreme Elimination Chambers as well as various titles on the line and matches with a lot of stakes on them but on this time of this year when this Marquee Event rolls around, we can never forget about possibly one of the most important matches of them all, the Extreme Enigma Battle Royale! And I think for all of our new watchers it is important to talk about this one especially, this Battle Royale is a tribute to an incredibly amazing competitor that stepped foot into EAW and has etched his name in the history of this company ever since he arrived the first time here, Extreme Enigma!
(Kyra then turned towards the television as it quickly began showing rapid highlights of Extreme Enigma and all of his accomplishments and best moments in the promotion, with Kyra quickly turning to the camera once more.)
Kyra Phillips: A Cash in the Vault Holder, a 2 time EAW Tag Team Champion, an EAW National Elite Champion an a 2 time EAW World Champion as well, Extreme Enigma made sure to leave his mark on the company and get everyone to remember through everything that he put inside of that ring, even though during his time wrestling he considered himself an anti-hero and someone who fell from grace, he will always be remembered as an amazing person and competitor for everything he has done, and we make sure to remember his name through this special battle royale full of incredibly hungry competitors trying to claw their way into achieving a win that will shoot them into superstardom, and hey, maybe the Extreme Enigma Battle Royale will be their first step into achieving that goal, because for the Showdown representatives of the match, we have all of this incredible and talented people to look towards to! Let me talk a bit about all of them and show you what they have been able to do so far!
(Kyra quickly turns towards the screen as it quickly starts moving through the roster of Showdown before landing first on one man, Mattias Burke.)
Kyra Phillips: Starting off, we got Mattias Burke! A young man from Liverpool, England with a dream to wrestle here in EAW and be able to succeed as a wrestler, even though he has been very unlucky when it came to gaining wins and making a name for himself in the blue brand, he has never lost the motivation or the fire to keep going, he has brought the fight to a lot of a talented Elitists and even though he was unsuccessful in capturing the New Breed Championship earlier in the year, he has shown to be a man that won’t be easily back down against anybody that he faces in his path, as it seems this battle royale will be the perfect match for him to prove to everyone that he will finally find a light at the end of the tunnel and succeed through sheer hard work!
(The screen quickly started to change to another wrestler now and it quickly landed on Damien Kutcher.)
Kyra Phillips: Alright, now this man is… very interesting to say the least! Damien Kutcher, ever since he has arrived he has not been scared from picking verbal fights with anyone that tried to cross him, I am not sure how accurate this is but I would like to say he considers himself big into social media and expressing his thoughts and words through his own Youtube channel, he was able to succeed in his debut but after that he has had a rocky start trying to get his footing around here, but surprisingly he has been able to catch the attention of the General Manager, Kennedy Street as well due to his outgoing personality, so even though he hasn’t achieved the luck he has been hoping for just yet, this EAW rookie is a killer when it comes to the microphone and we are sure that he won’t hold back on any of his opponents to go the distance and be able to win the Extreme Enigma Battle Royale.
(The screen changed to the next person now as it quickly landed on Clayton Golde now.)
Kyra Phillips: Another very interesting wrestler added into the mix here, Clayton Golde! Another rookie who just debuted last week and has jumped right into the EAW scene, he is more well known for his ventures outside the wrestling company, being a famous but also considered a very controversial figure by various people due to the podcast that he does, even though he has already made himself home in EAW and isn’t afraid of letting everybody know his thoughts and feelings about certain topics, he definitely seems like a focused competitor who will do whatever it takes to get to the top and live up to the hype that he always brings by himself whenever he pops up in a room, a man who chases the fame and the money, his gospel will show that he is a fearless competitor!
(The screen changed to another person on the roster as it now landed on Roque Santa Cruz.)
Kyra Phillips: Here we have Roque Santa Cruz! Another competitor to not take your eye away from either, he carries himself with grace and respect always making sure to get inside of the ring and prove that when he calls himself the king of wrestling, he is not joking around at all, he goes out there and relishes in the hate from the fans and all of the wrestlers that he faces as well, not being afraid at all in stomping on some feet and breaking someone’s fingers to achieve his objective, he has not been very lucky in his first few months here in EAW but he continues to push forward through sheer determination of showing everybody that he can be one of the best rookies all around the company, and if you want to go down this route, I can also say he is the dark horse in the whole match, this is a big opportunity for him to demonstrate that he has what it takes to succeed here in EAW, and finally prove himself to the EAW audience.
(The screen changed to the next wrestler on the list, as it quickly selected and showed Jade Phoenix.)
Kyra Phillips: A very confident and hard working woman whenever she has popped up in everyone’s screens, we are talking now about Jade Phoenix, a young woman from Las Vegas, Nevada, who has made sure to make a name for herself in every opportunity that she was given in EAW, she has been very unlucky as well when fighting against all of the different wrestler in the Showdown brand, but she has never let any of those losses bring her down from showing up and showing out in every match that she has had, she is sure to once again put on a stellar performance when it comes to participating in this match, and I am sure this will be an incredible match for Jade Phoenix to win and to show everyone that due to all of her hard work that she has shown and done, it will end up being all worth it, like a phoenix rising from its ashes to be reborn anew!
(The screen quickly changed once more as it now showed the next wrestler, Auburn Ware.)
Kyra Phillips: Next, we have an incredibly kind and promising woman ever since she stepped foot into EAW, Auburn Ware! She has been impressing everybody when it comes to the art of wrestling, debuting in EAW and making sure to pass with flying colors every match that she ended up being put in, quickly gathering up a winning streak that sadly ended up being broken at The Last Stand, and through all of those wins she has also caught the eye of Kennedy’s bodyguard, AJAX, and the two seemed to have become good friends since then, it is clear that Auburn has a bright future here in EAW with a never back down attitude and the objective of being able to succeed here in the company, and just like I said already, the Extreme Enigma Battle Royale might be the great first step that she needs to be able to succeed in what she sets forward for herself, and show what the prodigy is all about!
(The screen then changed one last time as it showed the last wrestler out of the bunch, Kirk Redwood.)
Kyra Phillips: And finally, last but not least, we have Kirk Redwood! A former Unified Tag Team Champion who has had a harsh and cutthroat attitude whenever he first appeared here in EAW, he is a man who despite all of the losses thrown his way, he continues fighting and he comes back stronger than ever despite all of the failure, that has been basically most of his career alongside his other partner in the Off-Brand Amphetamines, Solomon Stane. The two of them fought side by side as partners but they were forced to fight each other at The Last Stand to gain a spot in the Showdown EEC, and Solomon was the one who succeeded in that match and inserted himself in the Chamber, and sadly, that has ended up brewing some bad blood between the two that hopefully they have been able to resolve, but luckily, for his hard work, Kirk Redwood has been given a spot as well in the Extreme Enigma Battle Royale and it will be the perfect opportunity to prove himself that he isn’t the weak link in the Off-Brand Amphetamines and that just like Solomon, he can also succeed all by his lonesome.
(Finally, the screen turned off and Kyra then turned once more towards the camera with a smile.)
Kyra Phillips: And those are all the Showdown wrestlers that are in the Extreme Enigma Battle Royale, who will be the one to take the win? We will just have to wait and see what happens! I wish all of them good luck! I have been Kyra Phillips!
(Kyra then gives a quick goodbye before Showdown fades away from backstage.)
(We cut to the back where Mikaela Street is standing by, stood by her side none other than Heidi Huxley who is wearing black glasses, and her eyes are bandaged after the attack by Caroline. She is holding onto a walker than helps her to get around, and stood next to her is another girl, who it seems is her personal assistant, paid handsomely to help Heidi. It really does paint a sorrowful figure of a woman who has shown such strength in recent months and has aided Kennedy Street in making Showdown the number one show in Elite Answers Wrestling.)
Mikaela Street: Heidi, thank you for joining us today, it can’t have been easy.
Heidi Huxley: No, it has not been easy…
(Heidi is looking in totally the wrong direction to where Mikaela is, and isn’t even looking at the camera. Her personal assistant gently turns her head so that she is ‘looking’ directly at the interviewer.)
Heidi Huxley: That is better… Now where was I. Oh yes, it has not been easy. Many people would not have been able to continue with their responsibilities, but I am a martyr to this company Mikaela, and I will not be stopped by that… excuse for an Elitist.
Mikaela Street: You are talking about Caroline?
Heidi Huxley: OF COURSE, I’m talking about that woman. Who else would I be talking about?
Mikaela Street: I’m sorry, of course you are. My apologies.
(Although Mikaela apologizes, she is a Street after all and a glimmer of a smirk appears on her face which thankfully Heidi cannot see. The personal assistant does however, and she does smile, this not being her favorite job by a long shot. When she was told by the agency that she would be working for a high-powered executive in EAW, she had imagined Kennedy Street, and not her gopher. But she would never say that to Heidi of course… but it was funny to see how dramatic Heidi was being over the whole deal.)
Heidi Huxley: Apology accepted
(Heidi loses her bearings again, the PA once again moving to turn her head, but this time Heidi flicks her head away.)
Heidi Huxley: I shall look, where I want to look. I am Heidi Huxley… revered Disney employee, and this is wrong. This should not happen to someone like me.
(The PA takes a couple of steps back, recognising that she had been reprimanded. She then rolls her eyes, her immediately thought that at least she can, another grin almost escaping.)
Mikaela Street: No, it shouldn’t, but I guess the question that everyone is asking is what happens next. I can imagine that you will be looking for punishment.
Heidi Huxley: Do you think Mikaela?
(The tone in her voice is obvious, as is her annoyance. Revenge for what had happened to her was most certainly on her mind. Mikaela, for perhaps the first time in her life decides to stay quiet and allow Heidi to have her moment. Strangely, Heidi manages to look directly at the camera, dragging her walker around with her, emphasizing the agony she is in.)
Heidi Huxley: What ‘she’ did, is totally against every single value, and everything that Disney stands for. The virtuosity, the magic, Caroline has spat in the face of it all. She became consumed by the fact that Disney is a more powerful entity, than she could possibly EVER imagine, and is bitter that it overcame her so easily, and that after these events, it will overcome her once more.
(She takes her glasses off dramatically, pointing at the bandages that cover her eyes.)
Heidi Huxley: THIS is the result of me forcing Caroline to team with Princess Candice. Forcing her to do her JOB as an Elitist. Her actions were ridiculous, they were petty, and they were pathetic. And worse of all, it is not my injuries I am concerned about. No, I am a company woman, and I know the dangers I put myself in for the Disney name. No, my concern is for the damage she has done to the company that I love. And I will not stand by and let that happen, even blind, I can still see quite clearly what she is. A menace. A menace that SHALL be eradicated.
Mikaela Street: You seem like you have a plan
Heidi Huxley: Yes Mikaela. Yes, I do have a plan. And through that plan, you can rest assured that Caroline will pay for what she did and that I will be keeping an eye…
(Mikaela puts her hands to her face, stifling her laugh as Heidi hesitates, realizing what she was about to say. Heidi thankfully seems totally unaware of what is going on around her.)
Heidi Huxley: … Well, I will make sure that she stays in line. By the time I am through with her, I promise… to all of you, and most of all to my employers at Disney. Caroline WILL understand her responsibility to those values. She WILL know that she will never, EVER, overcome a machine that brings joy to millions every single day.
Mikaela Street: And if she doesn’t? I mean, I’m only asking what the viewers are thinking of Heidi. The question is warranted.
(If she could, Heidi would now narrowed her eyes, but instead the camera focuses on her whitened knuckles, grasping the walker tightly.)
Heidi Huxley: If she doesn’t Mikaela, then everything she experienced at the hands of Princess Candice will seem like nothing more than a pleasant nursery rhyme. Because Caroline WILL endure the full force of the Disney Corporation. MARK. MY. WORDS.
(With that, Heidi goes to walk off in the wrong direction, the PA whispering in her ear that she is going the wrong way. Heidi then shuffles off screen, Mikaela now not bothering to hide her smile, as the scene fades.)
[RTR REWIND]
(RTR returns and the crowd pops for the next match of the evening!)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen the following is a TABLES LADDERS AND CHAIRS MATCH, and it is for the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! Introducing first…
(‘Money and Power’ by Kid INK hits and the crowd explodes into boos. Chris Elite and Ahren Fournier make their way out to the stage, and despite the reaction the two have very smug and confident grins on their faces. You can tell the two believe in their chances of winning, and as they run down the ring they maintain their composure as Gina Romano begins to speak.)
Gina Romano: MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE RING… AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 420 POUNDS… CHRIS ELITE AND AHREN FOURNIER, THE ILLIONAIRES!!!!!
Eve: The ILLIONAIRES have a ton of confidence instilled into them tonight, and honestly why shouldn’t they? We already have seen the two of their careers separately, and together they’ve been a pretty much unstoppable force. Honestly, there’s a very good chance that they just might become tag champs tonight, and then they would’ve done exactly what they said they would from the start.
Deadprez: Maybe, but don’t you feel like Chris has put himself in a tough spot? If Chris goes all out now, what’s he going to bring to the Extreme Elimination Chamber? If Chris doesn’t go all out, would the ILLIONAIRES be able to win the titles still? Confidence is a great thing, but Chris may have also made a mistake, and it’s too late to turn back now.
Gavin Kirkland: Chris and Ahren have been a great team so far, but Minerva and Constance have been a team for far longer. Surely that may help them in some way.
(‘No More’ by Disturbed hits and the crowd continues booing, but after everything that happened the past few weeks the reaction is not nearly as negative as with the former team. Minerva and Constance Blevins make their way out to the stage, and you can see the focus and determination in their eyes as they begin walking down to the ring, not with the same smiles as Ahren and Chris, but instead with a more angered look.)
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS.. AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 245 POUNDS… THEY ARE THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… CONSTANCE BLEVINS AND MINERVA, HEAVENLY H*LL!!!!!
Eve: These two have been through a lot with the ILLIONAIRES, to say the least. From losing their shots at the Chamber to Jamie and Cameron thanks to them, or Constance losing her match against Raven for the Universal Women’s Championship, also thanks to the ILLIONAIRES. Tonight is gonna be their chance at getting payback.
Deadprez: Now Gavin, for once you did say something smart. Not only do these two make a great team, but they’ve been a team for most of this year. Chris and Ahren haven’t teamed up anywhere near as long as them, and I wouldn’t be surprised if teamwork came a long way in a match as chaotic as TLC.
Gavin Kirkland: Yep! I just want these two to retain. I don’t want any guys taking those titles from them, unless Jamie decided to go to the tag division maybe.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Eve: This match is underway! Heavenly H*ll versus the ILLIONAIRES! Constance and Minerva seem ready to start this match- but the ILLIONAIRES seem to be in no rush as they roll right out of the ring! I’m sure Chris especially is in no rush seeing as he does have to compete in an Extreme Elimination Chamber later tonight. Chris bringing a ladder into the ring as Ahren Fournier grabs a chair, and it looks like the two are finally about to get back into the ring to start things off!
Deadprez: The two are back in the ring- AND THE ILLIONAIRES GO RIGHT AFTER CONSTANCE AND MINERVA- BUT HEAVENLY H*LL WERE PREPARED! MINERVA DUCKED A LARIAT BY CHRIS MEANWHILE CONSTANCE DODGED A CHAIR SHOT BY AHREN, AND NOW THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ARE TAKING IT IT TO CHRIS AND AHREN! THE ILLIONAIRES GETTING BACKED INTO THE ROPES BY THIS OFFENSE, AND NOW MINERVA AND CONSTANCE BOTH RUN THE ROPES SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND CONSTANCE MANAGES TO SEND AHREN OUT OF THE RING, BUT CHRIS THREW MINERVA OVER HIM, SENDING HER OUT AS WELL! CONSTANCE AND CHRIS BOTH RUNNING THE ROPES NOW, AND THERE’S A SIMULTANEOUS FOSBURY FLOP BY CHRIS, AND SUICIDE DIVE BY CONSTANCE!!
Gavin Kirkland: AHREN AND MINERVA HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT, AT LEAST FOR NOW, AND NOW CHRIS IS GOING RIGHT AFTER CONSTANCE! CHRIS WITH A KNEE LIFT INTO THE MIDSECTION, AND NOW HE RAMS HER INTO THE BARRICADE! Man.. As cool as the ILLIONAIRES may be, I don’t think I want them to win. Nothing against them, they’re great and all just not..
Eve: Women?
Gavin Kirkland:… Anyways Constance looks like she’s in a lot of trouble right now! She’s getting relentlessly beaten around the ring right now, almost reminiscent of Chris Brown versus Rihanna. Constance trying to roll into the ring, but Chris follows behind- JUST FOR CONSTANCE TO SMASH THAT STEEL CHAIR OVER HIS HEAD! AHREN BROUGHT THAT CHAIR INTO THE RING, LOOKS LIKE HE JUST PAID FOR IT AS CHRIS FALLS RIGHT BACK OUT TO RINGSIDE!
Eve: Constance now exiting the ring, AND SHE SMASHES THE CHAIR ACROSS THE BACK OF CHRIS ELITE! AND SHE DOES IT AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! CONSTANCE ISN’T STOPPING HERE AS SHE’S REPEATEDLY SMASHING THAT CHAIR OVER HIS BACK! CONSTANCE FINALLY DROPPING THE CHAIR, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS SOMETHING ELSE IN MIND AS SHE LOOKS AT THAT NEARBY LADDER! AS IT STANDS NOW, CONSTANCE MAY ALREADY HAVE A CLEAR PATH TO VICTORY FOR HER TEAM!
Deadprez: Constance bringing that ladder into the ring, and in the meantime it looks like Ahren and Minerva both managed to get back to their feet! You can see Minerva tried to go right back for Chris Elite after how this match started, BUT AHREN’s NOT LETTING HER! AHREN JUST PULLED MINERVA BY THE HAIR, AND NOW HE SMASHES HER FACE ACROSS THE APRON! AHREN MANAGING TO NEUTRALIZE MINERVA JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, AND NOW AHREN ENTERS THE RING TO CONFRONT CONSTANCE BLEVINS!
Gavin Kirkland: CONSTANCE HAD NO CHANCE TO REACT AS SHE JUST GOT INTO THE RING, AND NOW AHREN IS UNLOADING! AHREN WITH REPEATED LEFTS AND RIGHTS SENDING CONSTANCE INTO THE CORNER, AND NOW HE’S JUST STOMPING AWAY AT HER! I GOTTA SAY THIS MATCH HAS BEEN OFF TO AN EXPLOSIVE START, AND RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE TIDES ARE TURNING TO THE ILLIONAIRES FAVOR THANKS TO AHREN’S RECOVERY!
Eve: THAT DOESN’T LAST TOO LONG THOUGH! MINERVA MANAGED TO RECOVER FAIRLY QUICKLY, AND NOW SHE ATTACKS AHREN FROM BEHIND TO SAVE HER PARTNER! MINERVA ATTACKING AHREN AND GETTING HIM AWAY FROM THE CORNER, IN THE MEANTIME ALLOWING CONSTANCE TO GET BACK UP! BOTH WOMEN WITH A DOUBLE KNEE LIFT INTO THE MIDSECTION, AND NOW THE TWO WITH CLUBBING BLOWS TO THE BACK! CONSTANCE SLOWLY PICKING AHREN UP, AND THEY’RE AIMING TO TAKE HIM OUT OF THIS MATCH AS CONSTANCE SETS UP FOR THE LIONESSPRIDE!! MINERVA OFF THE ROPES!!
Deadprez: AHREN WITH A BOOT TO MINERVA’S FACE, AND A PUNCH TO THE FACE OF CONSTANCE, FIGHTING BOTH WOMEN OFF OF HIM! AHREN NOW GRABBING CONSTANCE FROM BEHIND, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S SETTING UP FOR SOMETHING! THE CLIMAX- NO!! THE CLIMAX DOESN’T CONNECT AS CONSTANCE USES HER FOOT TO PUSH AHREN BACK!!
Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT INTO THE DARK FROM MINERVA!! MINERVA JUST SPIT THAT BLACK MIST RIGHT INTO AHREN’S EYES, AND THAT’S ALL LEGAL HERE, REMEMBER! IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE GONNA SET UP FOR TAKE TWO NOW AS CONSTANCE ONCE AGAIN GETS AHREN IN POSITION FOR THE LIONESSPRIDE, ONLY THIS TIME I DON’T KNOW IF HE’LL BE ABLE TO COUNTER IT! MINERVA NOW OFF THE ROPES!!
Eve: NO!! CHRIS ELITE JUST PULLED THE ROPES DOWN, CAUSING MINERVA TO FLY RIGHT OVER THEM AND OUT OF THE RING! CONSTANCE LETTING GO OF AHREN REALIZING WHAT JUST HAPPENED, BUT NOW HERE COMES CHRIS! SPRINGBOARD UPPERCUT!! IF I WERE CHRIS I’D WANT TO TAKE A BACK SEAT IN THIS MATCH SEEING AS THERE’S A CHAMBER COMING UP, BUT YOU CAN SEE CHRIS WANTS TO BECOME A TAG TEAM CHAMPION JUST AS MUCH AS HE WANTS TO BECOME ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!
Deadprez: AHREN STILL SEEMS TO BE TRYING TO GET THE MIST OUT OF HIS EYES, SO NOW CHRIS IS TAKING THE TIME TO SET THE LADDER UP! IF CHRIS COULD MANAGE TO GET THE VICTORY THIS EARLY ON, SHOCKING WOULDN’T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE IT! CHRIS CLIMBING UP THE LADDER NOW- BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO GET BACK INTO THE RING! SHE COULDN’T CLIMB UP TO THE OTHER SIDE, INSTEAD SHE GOES STRAIGHT AFTER CHRIS, HITTING HIM IN THE BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: CONSTANCE IS GETTING BACK UP, AND I THINK SHE WANTS TO CLIMB UP THE OTHER SIDE, BUT LOOK! AHREN IS BACK IN IT AS HE THROWS HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THAT RING POST!! IN THE MEANTIME MINERVA MANAGED TO GET CHRIS OFF OF THE LADDER- BUT HERE COMES AHREN BEFORE MINERVA COULD CAPITALIZE!! PROTECT YA NECK!!
Eve: MINERVA MANAGED TO DUCK IT AT THE LAST SECOND, AND SHE SENDS AHREN OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE! CHRIS LOOKS READY TO ATTACK THOUGH! LOOK OUT MINERVA- BOX OFFICE SMASH!!! WAIT NO, MINERVA JUST MANAGED TO DUCK THAT AS WELL, AND SHE JUST LOW BLOWED CHRIS ELITE!! MINERVA JUST KICKED CHRIS BELOW THE BELT, AND NOW MINERVA LOOKS LIKE SHE’S READY TO MAKE HER WAY UP TO THE TAG BELTS!
Deadprez: MINERVA IS FIXING THE LADDERS POSITIONING, AND NOW SHE’S MAKING THE CLIMB! I THINK SHE’S GONNA DO IT, I THINK MINERVA’S GONNA HELP HEAVENLY H*LL RETAIN THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS! AHREN FOURNIER IS BEGINNING TO GET BACK UP, BUT CAN HE STOP MINERVA, OR WILL IT BE TOO LATE!? CHRIS IS DOWN! CONSTANCE IS DOWN! IT’S ALL UP TO MINERVA AND AHREN RIGHT NOW-
Gavin Kirkland: AND AHREN JUST THREW A STEEL CHAIR AT MINERVA’S BACK!! AHREN BUYING HIMSELF SOME TIME AS THAT CHAIR CONNECTED WITH MINERVA’S BACK, CAUSING HER TO STEP DOWN A RUNG, AND NOW AHREN IS ENTERING THE RING! AHREN PICKING THAT STEEL CHAIR BACK UP, AND HE WHACKS MINERVA RIGHT IN THE BACK WITH IT! AND THERE’S ANOTHER CHAIR SHOT! AND ONE MORE, CAUSING MINERVA TO FALL OFF THE LADDER! AHREN NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, PROTECT YA NECK!!! IT CONNECTS!!!
Eve: BUT THERE’S CONSTANCE FROM BEHIND!! SHE SETS UP FOR IT ONE LAST TIME BUT THIS TIME SHE DOESN’T WAIT FOR THE TAG MOVE! LIONESSPRIDE!!! THE LIONESSPRIDE CONNECTS, MEANING NOW BOTH AHREN AND MINERVA HAVE ONCE AGAIN BEEN TAKEN OUT! ALL THAT’S LEFT NOW IS CONSTANCE BLEVINS AND THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS AS SHE BEGINS CLIMBING THE LADDER!
Deadprez: I THINK YOU FORGOT ABOUT SOMEONE! CHRIS ELITE NOW IS GRABBING CONSTANCE AND PULLING HER RIGHT OFF THE LADDER IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! THIS COULD OBVIOUSLY ONLY MEAN BAD THINGS FOR CONSTANCE, BUT CONSTANCE IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT BEFORE CHRIS COULD GO FOR A MOVE! CHRIS WALKING TOWARDS THE ROPES, AND THERE’S A TABLE AT RINGSIDE JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THOSE ROPES! IF THIS IS GOING HOW I THINK IT IS, THIS COULD BE BAD FOR CONSTANCE! POWERBOMB INTO THE TABLE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO!! THANK GOD, CONSTANCE MANAGED TO HANG ONTO THE ROPES, AND NOW SHE’S TRYING TO PULL CHRIS OUT OF THE RING WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE A HURRICANRANA! SHE MANAGES TO DO IT, AND NOW BOTH COMPETITORS ARE ON THE APRON AS THEY BOTH GET TO THEIR FEET! CONSTANCE GOING FOR A RIGHT HAND, BUT CHRIS DUCKED IT, AND THERE’S A FOREARM! CONSTANCE WITH A FOREARM OF HER OWN IN RESPONSE, BUT THERE’S A KICK BY ELITE, SENDING CONSTANCE INTO THE RINGPOST!
Eve: CONSTANCE RESPONDS WITH A SPEAR, BARELY MANAGING TO MISS THE TABLE!! THAT TABLE IS SAFE BUT THAT DOESN’T TAKE AWAY FROM THE DAMAGE THAT MUST’VE BEEN RECEIVED AS CONSTANCE JUST SPEARED CHRIS ELITE OFF OF THE APRON! NEITHER COMPETITOR IS GETTING BACK UP TO THEIR FEET YET, AND I SUPPOSE THOSE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES AFTER TAKING SUCH A HUGE RISK!! AHREN AND MINERVA ARE BEGINNING TO STIR, AND HONESTLY I COULDN’T TELL YOU MYSELF HOW THIS ONE IS GOING TO END! ALL FOUR COMPETITORS ARE DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO KEEP EACH OTHER DOWN, AND AS IT STANDS NOW IT’S JUST NOT WORKING!
Deadprez: Minerva slowly rolls out of the ring, creating space from her and Ahren, and the first thing she does is look under the ring! Minerva taking out, ANOTHER LADDER, BUT SHE’S NOT BRINGING THIS ONE INTO THE RING! MINERVA SETTING IT UP ON THE BARRICADE AND APRON, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S MADE SOME SORTA LADDER BRIDGE! MINERVA LOOKING UNDER THE RING ONCE MORE, AND NOW SHE TAKES OUT A TABLE, AND SHE BRINGS IT INTO THE RING! MINERVA ENTERING THE RING AS WELL, BUT AHREN WAS WAITING FOR HER! ANOTHER PROTECT YA NECK!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! MINERVA WITH A POKE TO THE EYE, AND NOW SHE PULLS AHREN IN! REVERSE STO!! MINERVA NOW SETTING THAT TABLE UP IN THE CORNER, AND HONESTLY I DON’T LIKE THE IDEA OF YET ANOTHER TABLE COMING INTO PLAY HERE AFTER CONSTANCE AND CHRIS NEARLY WENT THROUGH ONE NOT TOO LONG AGO! MINERVA PICKING AHREN UP, AND SHE RAMS HIM INTO THE TABLE!!
Eve: NO! AHREN MANAGES TO STOP HIMSELF AT THE LAST MOMENT, AS HE HITS MINERVA WITH AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! MINERVA TURNING AROUND HOLDING HER HEAD IN PAIN, AND THERE’S A GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE- NO! MINERVA WITH AN ELBOW OF HER OWN TO STOP THE SUPLEX, NOW WHAT!? MINERVA BACKING UP AS AHREN IS LEANING ON THE TABLE, AND NOW SHE CHARGES IN!!!
Deadprez: RIGHT INTO THE TABLE!!! AHREN DOVE OUT OF THE WAY, AND MINERVA JUST WENT AND PUT HERSELF THROUGH A TABLE!! AHREN COULDN’T HAVE COME ANY CLOSER THERE, BUT NOW HE NEEDS TO CAPITALIZE!! AHREN SLOWLY MAKING HIS WAY UP THE LADDER, IS THIS GONNA BE IT!? ARE THE ILLIONAIRES GOING TO DO IT, ARE THEY ABOUT TO BECOME THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!? AHREN REACHING FOR THE TITLES, HE’S GONNA DO IT!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO HE ISN’T!! CONSTANCE HAS MADE HER WAY BACK INTO THIS MATCH, AND SHE MADE HER WAY RIGHT UP THE LADDER!! CONSTANCE WITH A FOREARM ON AHREN, CAUSING HIM TO TEMPORARILY LOSE HIS BALANCE!! AHREN RESPONDING WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN, AND THINGS AREN’T LOOKING GOOD HERE FOR EITHER COMPETITOR! NOW IT’S CONSTANCE WITH ANOTHER FOREARM! NOW AHREN! NOW CONSTANCE! NOW AHREN! NOW CONSTANCE! CONSTANCE NOW GETTING THE UPPER HAND AS SHE’S REPEATEDLY HITTING THESE FOREARMS! CONSTANCE NOW SMASHING AHREN’S HEAD ONTO THE LADDER, AND NOW LOOK, SHE’S REACHING FOR THE TITLES!
Eve: BUT THERE’S CHRIS ELITE!! CHRIS HITTING CONSTANCE FROM BEHIND, CAUSING HER TO DROP DOWN A RUNG! RIGHT NOW SHE’S OUTNUMBERED AS IT LOOKS LIKE CHRIS IS TRYING TO PULL CONSTANCE DOWN- BUT CONSTANCE MANAGES TO KICK CHRIS AWAY! AHREN WITH A PUNCH RIGHT TO THE FACE THOUGH, AND THAT SENDS CONSTANCE DOWN ANOTHER RUNG! CHRIS NOW MANAGING TO PULL CONSTANCE DOWN THIS TIME- BUT THERE’S A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI, DROPPING CHRIS TO A KNEE! CONSTANCE RUNNING TOWARDS AHREN NOW, AND SHE PULLS AHREN OFF THE LADDER!
Deadprez: CONSTANCE NOW LOOKING FOR THAT FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX- BUT AHREN WITH A PUNCH TO THE MIDSECTION, CAUSING CONSTANCE TO LET GO! HEAD SHOT BY CHRIS!!! CONSTANCE JUST GOT NAILED WITH THAT PELE KICK, AND NOW AHREN GRABS HER FROM BEHIND! THE CLIMAX- NO! CONSTANCE AT THE LAST MOMENT MANAGED TO RAM AHREN INTO THE LADDER, TIPPING IT OVER AND DROPPING BOTH COMPETITORS! CHRIS NOW IS GOING AFTER CONSTANCE AS THE NUMBERS GAME PROVES SUCCESSFUL ONCE AGAIN, BUT CONSTANCE MAY HAVE BOUGHT SOME TIME BY TAKING DOWN THE LADDER!
Gavin Kirkland: CHRIS ELITE NOW JUST STOMPING CONSTANCE OUT, AND RIGHT NOW SHE MAY BE OUT OF IT! CHRIS NOW PICKING CONSTANCE UP- BUT CONSTANCE JUST SLAPS HIM IN THE FACE! I DON’T KNOW IF CONSTANCE REALLY THINKS SHE CAN TAKE ON BOTH AHREN AND CHRIS, OR IF SHE’S JUST TRYING TO BUY SOME TIME FOR MINERVA TO GET BACK INTO THIS, BUT SHE’S GETTING TORN UP RIGHT NOW AS CHRIS SIMPLY JUST KICKS HER BACK DOWN!
Eve: CONSTANCE IS USING THE ROPES TO TRY AND PULL HERSELF UP, BUT AHREN DELIVERS A KNEE RIGHT INTO HER MIDSECTION! AHREN WITH AN IRISH WHIP, AND THERE’S A BACK BODY DROP ON CONSTANCE! CHRIS NOW, FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT!! AHREN NOW GRABBING THAT LADDER, AND THIS COULD BE IT! CONSTANCE IS DOWN AND OUT, AND BOTH ILLIONAIRES ARE IN THE RING! AT THIS RATE, I THINK WE’RE ABOUT TO SEE NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS-
Deadprez: MINERVA WITH A BROKEN TABLE PIECE RIGHT INTO THE MIDSECTION OF CHRIS ELITE! MINERVA NOW, SLAMMING IT OVER HIS BACK! AHREN NOW TRYING TO THROW MINERVA OUT OF THE RING, BUT MINERVA TURNS IT AROUND AND SENDS AHREN OVER THE TOP ROPE! AHREN LANDS ON THE APRON, BUT A HUGE DROPKICK BY MINERVA SENDS HIM RIGHT OFF OF IT! CHRIS IS TRYING TO GET BACK UP, BUT MINERVA GRABS THAT STEEL CHAIR FROM EARLIER, AND SLAMS THAT INTO HIS BACK AS WELL! POOR CHRIS, THE MAN HAS AN EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER LATER ON!
Gavin Kirkland: AHREN IS ON HIS FEET, BUT NOW MINERVA RUNS THE ROPES! BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK!! MINERVA IS A ONE WOMAN WRECKING CREW RIGHT NOW, AND IT LOOKS LIKE CONSTANCE FIGHTING AS LONG AS SHE DID WORKED AS MINERVA IS SINGLE-HANDEDLY TAKING OUT THE ILLIONAIRES!! MINERVA NOW, SENDING AHREN RIGHT INTO OUR ANNOUNCEMENT TABLE! AHREN HOLDING HIS STOMACH AFTER THAT, AND NOW MINERVA IS BRINGING AHREN TOWARDS THAT LADDER BRIDGE, AND SHE SLAMS HIS HEAD RIGHT ONTO THE LADDER! MINERVA NOW SETTING AHREN ON THE LADDER, AND I DON’T LIKE THIS, NOT ONE BIT! MINERVA NOW GOING UP TO THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: WAIT, WHAT!? CHRIS ELITE JUST SPRINTED UP TO THE TOP ROPE, WHAT IS HE THINKING!? CHRIS, THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES, THIS ISN’T YOUR ONLY MATCH TONIGHT! OH MY GOD!! BROOKLYN HIGH, THROUGH THE LADDER!!!! CHRIS ELITE JUST HIT A HUGE SPANISH FLY GOING THROUGH THAT LADDER BRIDGE, AND LOOK AT THAT!!! AT THE LAST SECOND, AHREN MANAGED TO ROLL OFF OF THE LADDER!! AHREN IS SAFE, BUT CHRIS AND MINERVA HAVE TO BE DOWN AND OUT! WHAT ON EARTH, WHAT DID WE JUST SEE!?
Deadprez: Ahren and Constance are barely even awake as is, but you can just see the shock in their eyes as their partners may have just been taken out of this match! Ahren now is slowly beginning to make his way back into the ring as Constance is starting to get back up, and I’ve gotta say I’m interested to see where we even go from here. It looks like this match has been shortened down to a one on one match, but even Constance Blevins, who’s still in this can’t help but look worried for Minerva! Someone needs to get out here and see if Chris and Minerva are okay! WAIT, AHREN UP THE LADDER! AHREN’S CLIMBING UP THE LADDER WHILE CONSTANCE IS DISTRACTED!
Gavin Kirkland: CONSTANCE JUST NOW REALIZING IT, AND NOW SHE CLIMBS UP AS WELL! AHREN IS SO CLOSE TO GRABBING THE TITLES- BUT CONSTANCE ONCE AGAIN JUST BARELY MANAGES TO STOP AHREN, JUST BEFORE HE COULD GRAB THE TITLES! AHREN NEARLY MANAGED TO CAPITALIZE PERFECTLY OFF OF A BAD SITUATION, BUT CONSTANCE IS STILL IN THIS! CONSTANCE WITH REPEATED PUNCHES TO AHREN, CAUSING HIM TO SLOWLY DROP DOWN THE LADDER, BUT CONSTANCE IS FOLLOWING BEHIND, LIKELY REALIZING NOW’S NOT THE TIME TO REACH FOR THE TITLES!
Eve: BOTH COMPETITORS NOW MEETING EACH OTHER TOE TO TOE, AND THEY’RE GOING RIGHT AFTER EACH OTHER TRADING LEFTS AND RIGHTS! AHREN GAINS THE ADVANTAGE AS HE SENDS CONSTANCE INTO THE ROPES, BUT CONSTANCE RESPONDS WITH A CALF KICK! AHREN STUMBLING INTO THE CORNER, AND CONSTANCE CHARGES IN- RIGHT INTO A BOOT TO THE FACE BY AHREN! AHREN NOW IRISH WHIPPING CONSTANCE INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, AND THIS TIME IT’S HIM THAT CHARGES IN!
Deadprez: CONSTANCE CATCHES AHREN, AND THERE’S A REVERSE STO INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! AHREN HOLDING HIS FACE AS CONSTANCE THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! AHREN HANGS ON AS THAT’S THE SAME AREA WHERE THAT TABLE IS, BUT CONSTANCE NOW RUNS THE ROPES- RIGHT INTO A FOREARM BY AHREN! AHREN NOW GRABBING CONSTANCE BY THE BACK OF THE NECK, AND HE SHOVES HER FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! CONSTANCE STOPPED HERSELF, AND MANAGED TO INSTEAD CLIMB UP TO THE TOP ROPE! THE TWO ARE JUST OVER THAT TABLE, THIS COULD BE BAD! AHREN CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP- BUT HE THINKS BETTER OF HIS DECISION AS HE CHANGES HIS POSITION TOWARDS THE INSIDE OF THE RING! IT LOOKS LIKE AHREN IS STILL SETTING UP FOR A SUPERPLEX, OR SOME SORT OF TOP ROPE MOVE THOUGH, WHAT’S HE GONNA DO!? NOTHING! CONSTANCE MANAGES TO PUSH AHREN OFF OF THE TOP ROPE, AND NOW SHE GOES FOR A DIVE AS AHREN LANDED ON HIS FEET!
Eve: AHREN DODGES THE DIVE, GETTING BEHIND CONSTANCE AND GRABBING HER! THE CLIMAX!! THE CLIMAX CONNECTS, THE RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS PERFECTLY AND BOTH COMPETITORS DROP TO THE MAT! AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW NOBODY IS CAPABLE OF GETTING BACK TO THEIR FEET, MUCH LESS CLIMBING UP THAT LADDER AND GETTING THOSE TITLES, HOW IS THIS MATCH EVER GOING TO END, WHO’S GONNA BE ABLE TO WALK AWAY WITH THE WIN!?
Deadprez: AHREN IS SLOWLY CRAWLING TOWARDS THE CORNER! HE LOOKS MORE THAN EXHAUSTED, BUT OBVIOUSLY IF HE WANTS TO HAVE A CHANCE AT GETTING THOSE TITLES, HE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE CONSTANCE IS DOWN FOR GOOD! AHREN SEEMINGLY WAITING FOR CONSTANCE TO GET UP, AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT HE COULD STILL BE GOING FOR AT THIS TIME OF THE MATCH! CONSTANCE SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO BOTH KNEES, AND NOW AHREN IS CHARGING IN, STORYBOOK ENDING!!!
Gavin Kirkland: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!! THE STORYBOOK ENDING DOESN’T CONNECT, CONSTANCE BARELY MANAGED TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, AND NOW SHE GRABS THE STEEL CHAIR AND SLAMS IT ACROSS AHREN’S LEG! CONSTANCE NOW CRAWLING OVER TO THE LADDER, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S JUST TRYING TO REACH THOSE TITLES AT THIS POINT! CONSTANCE USING THE LADDER TO PULL HERSELF UP, AND NOW SHE’S BEGINNING TO CLIMB! AHREN IS TRYING TO STOP HER, BUT CONSTANCE HITS AHREN WITH THE STEEL CHAIR ONCE MORE BEFORE THROWING IT OUT OF THE RING! CONSTANCE CLIMBING AS FAR AS SHE CAN, IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S HOPING TO STEAL THIS!
Eve: NO! AHREN NOW RUNNING OVER TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE LADDER, AND HE FOLLOWS CONSTANCE UP TO THE TOP! THIS IS A SCENE WE’VE SEEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN THIS MATCH ALREADY, BUT EVEN NOW WE HAVE YET TO SEE A CONCLUSION! WHO’S GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH!? BOTH COMPETITORS TRADING LEFTS AND RIGHTS RIGHT NOW, AND NEITHER OF THEM ARE LETTING UP! AHREN QUICKLY TRYING TO REACH FOR THE TITLES, BUT CONSTANCE PUSHES HIS ARMS AWAY! CONSTANCE NOW REACHING FOR THE TITLES HERSELF, JUST FOR THE SAME RESULT AS AHREN PUSHES HERS AWAY! WAIT, LOOK WHO’S HERE!
Deadprez: CHRIS ELITE AND MINERVA, THEY’VE SOMEHOW MADE IT BACK INTO ACTION, AND I’M NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT IT’S OUT OF PURE ADRENALINE, BUT THEY’RE STILL IN THIS MATCH! CHRIS IS PULLING CONSTANCE BACK INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION, MEANWHILE MINERVA JUST DRAGS AHREN OFF THE LADDER! WHAT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN!? BOTH COMPETITORS SETTING THEIR SIGHTS AT THE SAME PAIR OF ROPES, AND THEY BOTH CHARGE!! OH MY GOD, MINERVA JUST SENT AHREN THROUGH THE ROPES, AND CHRIS ELITE JUST POWERBOMBED CONSTANCE OVER THE TOP! BOTH AHREN AND CONSTANCE JUST WENT CRASHING INTO THE SAME TABLE, BUT I DON’T THINK NEITHER MINERVA NOR CHRIS REALIZED WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO THEIR PARTNERS!
Gavin Kirkland: CHRIS AND MINERVA NOW HAVING A BRAWL RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES, AND IT’S CHRIS WHO’S OVERPOWERING MINERVA AS HE MANAGES TO TOSS HER INTO THE ROPES! MINERVA DUCKS A CLOTHESLINE BY CHRIS THOUGH, AND THERE’S A LOU THESZ PRESS! MINERVA NOW WITH REPEATED MOUNTED PUNCHES TO CHRIS, AND NOW MINERVA IS EXITING THE RING, AND FOR SOME REASON IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S LOOKING FOR EVEN MORE!
(After those words, Minerva starts taking chair after chair out of the ring, almost creating a pile. The fans all seem to be intrigued as Minerva begins setting up all the chairs outside of the ring making two small rows of chairs facing each other vertically from the post, with even more chairs on top of the seats. Minerva does keep one chair however, and brings it into the ring with her.)
Eve: Minerva making what almost looks like some kinda bed of chairs or something, and I can only wonder what something like that would be used for. In the meantime though, Minerva is setting that chair up around Chris’s neck, and, oh no. I don’t think I like where this is going! MINERVA PICKING CHRIS UP WITH THAT CHAIR AROUND HIS NECK, AND NOW SHE THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH THE BED OF CHAIRS!! WAIT, NO! CHRIS HANGS ON, CHRIS MANAGES TO HANG ON!
Deadprez: CHRIS MANAGED TO HANG ON, AND NOW HE’S ON THE RING APRON! MINERVA RUNNING THE ROPES- BUT CHRIS QUICKLY MANAGED TO TAKE THAT CHAIR OFF HIS HEAD AND SLAM IT RIGHT OVER MINERVA’S HEAD!! MINERVA LOOKS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF IT AFTER THAT, BUT CHRIS ISN’T DONE YET, AS IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO SET UP FOR A SUPLEX OUT OF THE RING!! PLEASE DON’T, IF THIS CONNECTS BOTH CHRIS AND MINERVA ARE GOING TO FALL INTO A BED OF CHAIRS, AND IF THAT FALL ONTO THE LADDER COULDN’T KEEP THEM DOWN, THAT CERTAINLY WOULD!
Gavin Kirkland: MINERVA WITH THE SUNSET FLIP! MINERVA MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE SUPLEX WITH A GREAT COUNTER, BUT SHE CAN’T ACTUALLY GET CHRIS OFF THE APRON FOR THE POWERBOMB! CHRIS NOW KICKING MINERVA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, CAUSING HER TO TUMBLE OVER ONE OF THE CHAIRS AND ONTO THE BED! CHRIS NOW JUMPING OFF THE APRON, AND WITH MULTIPLE PUNCHES IT LOOKS LIKE MINERVA IS OUT! CHRIS LOOKING INSIDE THE RING, I THINK THIS MAY BE HIS CHANCE AS MINERVA IS LAID OUT ON THE CHAIR-BED! Wait… He’s not looking at the ladder, is he…?
Eve: NO! INSTEAD, HE’S SHIFTED HIS ATTENTION TO CONSTANCE BLEVINS! CHRIS NOW THROWING CONSTANCE INTO THE RING, AND GOD I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT HE’S THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW! WAIT, CHRIS PULLING CONSTANCE UP TO THE TOP ROPE WITH HIM, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO PULL HER UP FOR A POWERBOMB! BUT, WHAT’S HE DOING!? WAIT, OH MY GOD! NO! NO! CHRIS TURNING AROUND TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING, HE’S GOING TO PUT HIS OWN HEALTH IN JEOPARDY IF HE GOES THROUGH WITH THIS! CHRIS ELITE, WITH A SIT OUT POWERBOMB ONTO THE BED OF CHAIRS, RIGHT ON TOP OF MINERVA!!!
Deadprez: SURELY THIS MATCH NEEDS TO BE CALLED OFF OR SOMETHING, THERE’S NO WAY ANY COMPETITOR SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO EVEN MOVE AFTER THAT! WHY WOULD CHRIS DO THAT, WHAT WAS HE THINKING!? YOU COULD SEE THAT THE HATRED THESE TWO TEAMS SHARE FOR EACH OTHER MAY HAVE BUBBLED OVER, BUT WHAT CHRIS JUST DID, JUST IMAGINE THE CONDITION HE’LL BE IN BY THE TIME THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER COMES AROUND! THERE’S NOT A SINGLE PERSON MOVING RIGHT NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS MATCH NOBODY IS ABLE TO GET UP!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh great, now what? We can’t just end this in a no contest or anything, it’s a TLC match! I don’t know how, but someone needs to find a way to get back up! Someone needs to climb that ladder and win this match! Unfortunately, I don’t see a way for either Minerva or Constance to get back into this match! Constance was just powerbombed from the top rope onto both chairs and her own partner, and I can only imagine how that must’ve felt for Minerva. Being squashed between chairs and.. Constance Blevins.. On second thought, maybe that isn’t so bad.
(A few minutes pass with nothing but near silence, until both Chris Elite and Ahren Fournier show few signs of life. Ahren is the first person actually able to get to his feet as he wasn’t involved with that powerbomb to the chairs, but after seeing the carnage, Ahren makes his way towards Chris Elite to try and help finish this match.)
Eve: Ahren helping Chris back to his feet, and if you ask me I think we may finally be approaching the ending of this match. Chris can barely even stand right now, needing Ahren’s help to get back into the ring, but even so, the Champions are out of it. Ahren repositioning the ladder, and at this point the titles are theirs. Chris waiting in a seated position in the corner as Ahren climbs up the ladder, this match is over- What?
Deadprez: MINERVA IS MOVING! MINERVA IS SOMEHOW BARELY SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE, BUT AHREN CLEARLY HAS THE MATCH WON, WHAT IS HE DOING!? AHREN IS CLIMBING DOWN THE LADDER, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE JUST SAID SOMETHING TO CHRIS! CHRIS JUST NODDED HIS HEAD AS AHREN EXITS THE RING, I THINK AHREN IS LOOKING TO FINISH HEAVENLY H*LL OFF FOR GOOD! AHREN NOW DRAGGING MINERVA INTO THE RING, AND SHE’S NOW SURROUNDED BY WHO JUST MIGHT BE THE NEXT UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
Gavin Kirkland: CHRIS ELITE MANAGING TO GET BACK UP FINALLY, AND HE’S PUTTING MINERVA ON HIS SHOULDERS IN AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION! AHREN NOW CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE, AND OH DEAR GOD, I THINK THIS MAY BE IT! THE MOVE TO CLOSE THIS MATCH OUT FOR GOOD! THE ELECTRIC CHAIR AND PROTECT YA NECK COMBINATION, PUT IT ON ICE!!!
Eve: NO!! MINERVA WITH A THUMB TO CHRIS’ EYE, AND CHRIS JUST BARELY STARTING TO LOSE BALANCE! AHREN DOESN’T SEEM COMMITTED TO THE MOVE YET AS AT THIS POINT THERE’S NO ROOM FOR ERROR- BUT NOW MINERVA MANAGES TO ESCAPE CHRIS’ SHOULDERS, BEFORE PUSHING CHRIS RIGHT INTO AHREN, CAUSING AHREN TO LOSE BALANCE ON THE TOP ROPE AS HE FALLS TO THE OUTSIDE! BUT THERE’S AN ENZUIGIRI BY CHRIS, JUST AS HE TURNED AROUND! MINERVA SOMEHOW WAS STARTING TO FIND HER WAY INTO THIS ONE, BUT JUST LIKE THAT HER OFFENSE WAS CUT OFF!
Deadprez: MINERVA SEEMINGLY LIKE A ZOMBIE AT THIS POINT, BUT WHAT SEEMED LIKE LUCK MANAGED TO TEMPORARILY TAKE OUT THE BIGGEST THREAT IN THIS MATCH AS ONCE AGAIN AHREN WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THAT CHAIR MESS THAT WENT ON A WHILE AGO! CHRIS NOW DRAGGING MINERVA UP, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO SET UP FOR THE FACE VALUE- BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO RAM CHRIS INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, DROPPING BOTH COMPETITORS! ARE YOU SERIOUS!? ARE WE SEEING A POTENTIAL COMEBACK RIGHT NOW!?
Gavin Kirkland: AHREN IS STILL UP THOUGH! HE CLEARLY LOOKS FRUSTRATED AS HE GETS INTO THE RING AND IMMEDIATELY GOES AFTER MINERVA WITH HARD HITTING MOUNTED PUNCHES! AHREN LOOKS LIKE HE’S LOST IT, HE HAD THE TITLES AT HIS FINGERTIPS, BUT THE ILLIONAIRES GOT TOO CAUGHT UP IN WANTING TO TAKE MINERVA AND CONSTANCE OUT, AND RIGHT NOW THEY’RE SEEING THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS! OR AT LEAST, THEY WOULD BE IF MINERVA WAS IN ANY SHAPE TO DEFEND HERSELF! AHREN IS UNLOADING RIGHT NOW, AND MINERVA CAN’T REALLY DO ANYTHING AS AHREN PICKS HER UP- EXCEPT THAT MAYBE!!
Eve: MINERVA JUST HIT ANOTHER LOW BLOW, THIS TIME ON AHREN FOURNIER!! AS DISCUSSED BEFORE, STUFF LIKE THAT IS LEGAL IN THIS MATCH, AND JUST WHEN MINERVA WAS BACKED INTO A CORNER, SHE ONCE AGAIN USED THAT TO HER ADVANTAGE AS SHE GRABS AHREN FROM BEHIND! TWILIGHT!!! THE TWILIGHT CONNECTS, AND NOW I THINK AHREN IS DONE FOR AS HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! THAT LEAVES MINERVA AND CHRIS LEFT, WHO’S GONNA WIN, WHO’S GONNA LEAVE ROAD TO REDEMPTION WITH THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!?
Deadprez: MINERVA AND CHRIS ARE BOTH SOMEHOW PULLING THEMSELVES UP TO THEIR FEET, BUT IT’S CHRIS WHO MANAGES TO ATTACK FIRST! MINERVA IS CLEARLY DEFENSELESS AS CHRIS JUST SLAPPED HER IN THE FACE, EVEN WITH NEAR MINIMAL EFFORT BEING PUT INTO IT! CHRIS NOW WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, AND HE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH THE FACE VALUE!! CHRIS LOOKING TO ADD A LITTLE INSULT TO INJURY THOUGH, AS IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE PEOPLE’S MOONSAULT! CHRIS NOW RUNNING THE ROPE-
Gavin Kirkland: CONSTANCE BLEVINS JUST HIT CHRIS IN THE HEAD WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!! IT LOOKS LIKE PAYBACK WAS JUST GIVEN TO CHRIS, BUT HOW!? HOW ON EARTH ARE THE CHAMPS IN THIS AT ALL!? CONSTANCE NOW GETTING BACK INTO THE RING, AND SHE’S HELPING MINERVA UP! IT LOOKS LIKE THE CHAMPS ARE READY TO FINISH THIS! CONSTANCE SETTING UP FOR THE LIONESS PRIDE AS MINERVA BEGINS RUNNING TO THE ROPES, AS QUICKLY AS SHE CAN IN HER CURRENT STATE! FALLEN ANGEL!!! YES!!
Eve: IT CONNECTS!!! THE FALLEN ANGEL CONNECTS, AND CHRIS ELITE LOOKS OUT COLD!! THE FALLEN ANGEL CONNECTS, AND RIGHT NOW I THINK THIS MATCH IS OVER! ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS CLIMB THAT LADDER AND- PROTECT YA NECK!!!
Deadprez: NO!! IT DOESN’T CONNECT, CONSTANCE BARELY MANAGED TO DUCK THE PROTECT YA NECK, AND THERE’S A FOREARM, SENDING AHREN MINERVA’S WAY! PARADISE LOST!!! THE PARADISE LOST CONNECTS, AND THAT’S BOTH MEMBERS OF THE ILLIONAIRES DOWN AND OUT! CONSTANCE NOW SLOWLY MAKING HER WAY UP THE LADDER, AND SHE DOES IT! CONSTANCE GOT THE TITLES, IT’S OVER! THE TAG CHAMPS DON’T CHANGE HANDS!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS… AND STILL, EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…. CONSTANCE BLEVINS, MINERVA, HEAVENLY H*LL!!!!!
Eve: THEY DID IT! MINERVA, CONSTANCE BLEVINS, THEY MANAGED TO RETAIN! THEY ARE STILL YOUR UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION!!
Deadprez: After everything they’ve went through with the ILLIONAIRES, somehow Minerva and Constance managed to endure and in the end, come out as Champions once again! I’ll admit, I didn’t think they’d be able to do it! The ILLIONAIRES seemed like they had everything on track, and they nearly had the match won too! In the end, it was their own greed and desire for leaving nothing left of the Champions that stopped them from actually becoming Champs themselves!
Gavin Kirkland: Thank Gawd the ones with titties won.
Eve:… Anyways, I can only imagine what the ILLIONAIRES are feeling right now, but if I were Chris I’d dust myself off and get back to work, because despite all that just happened, Chris does have an Extreme Elimination Chamber to get through.
Deadprez: I guess that just shows what the man’s willing to do to get his gold. He knows he has another huge match, but still did all he did here. Honestly, Minerva and Constance may have just gotten lucky.
(‘No More’ is playing and the crowd reaction is surprisingly mixed, solely due to the performance by both teams in that match. Constance holds both titles up at the top of the ladder, before slowly making her way down and handing one of them to Minerva. It takes a little while to process the victory after such a chaotic match, but the two finally begin to celebrate their win, as Chris Elite and Ahren Fournier are outside of the ring, both exhausted and furious as they’re forced to watch as Heavenly H*ll managed to retain their titles once again. Road to Redemption once again fades to commercial break.)
(“7 Rings” by Ariana Grande plays as Veena walks out in casual attire receiving a mixed reaction from the crowd. She makes her way to the ring quickly before demanding a microphone.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE WELCOME…VEENA ADAMS!!!
(Veena’s theme dies down as she brings the microphone to her lips.)
Veena Adams: One week away, one week away until I can prove every single point correctly and shut up every single narrative that has been used against me ever sInce I became a full time active wrestler. Some might ask themselves if I shut up every narrative last year when I won the National Elite Championship for the first time, but no because every ugly internet troll and their damn mothers who want them out of their house wanted to use the word “fluke” everywhere I went. You wouldn’t think that considering I best one of the best National Elite Champions of all time in Donovan Duke…but it is what it is I guess. In one week I get to show that I never even deserved to lose my title in the first place, I prove that I’m not a fluke, I prove just how far I’ve come as a wrestler compared to where I was a few years ago being everybody’s punching bag, and my importantly….I prove that that championship only truly matters when it’s around my waist. I will undo the damage that Jon’s overrated ass has done to that title and pick up where I was very rudely I might add, interrupted back at Pain for Pride.
(‘ Paint it Black ‘ by The Rolling Stones hits for a brief moment cutting Veena off as she isn’t too pleased at that before Jon Kelton walks out, visibly annoyed with the National Elite Championship on his shoulder. He stands on the stage and puts the microphone to his lips.)
Jon Kelton: I’m sorry, but I couldn’t just sit back there and listen to this garbage any longer. Do you hear the things coming out of your mouth Veena? You’re really going to stand there and say I don’t add any prestige to this championship on my shoulder when the reality of the fact is people you were champion to begin with? That’s all you are Ceena is a trivia question nobody will remember of who did Jon Kelton beat for this title. You’re not going to stand there and spew nonsense much like how you did when you called me a punching bag who “stole” this title from you when I did zero wrong in winning it. How about you do what I did and stop batching and just put in the work? If you wanna be the dumb blonde you are and ignore my body of work and all my real progress in strides I’ve made the past few years unlike yourself, then be my guest but that’s you walking into your own trap that you set.
(Veena does the yawn motion with her hand.)
Jon Kelton: You’re not the only one tired of all this. I’ve had to listen to you bitch and moan ever since Pain for Pride acting like you are owed anything. Newsflash sweetheart, even your own uncle don’t give a damn about you and never did. You are looking to shut up many narratives but the difference between me and you is I’m only looking to silence one, which is this idea that I stole this title and don’t deserve it. I’m going to put this narrative to sleep and show that me winning at Pain for Pride was no accident, but fate that resulted in my hard work. Knowing you though, you’ll still bitch and whine like the Karen you are afterwards because God forbid, everything don’t go your way. All you are is a broad who has overstayed her welcome years ago, finally lucked into a championship after a million tries. You have hit your ceiling in this industry and the sooner you accept that reality, the better off you will be.
Veena Adams: I know YOU of all people aren’t talking about ceilings?!
(Jon Kelton puts the mic up again to speak but Veena cuts him off.)
Veena Adams: NO! I’m done listening to YOUR stupidity in thinking that you didn’t steal that title from me. Talking about me having many title shots and failing? Can you read a room you moron? We just going to pretend you didn’t do the same thing or you winning a newcomers belt at your age? Get outta my face with that {BLEEP}! I’m taking back what is mine and I’m putting your pathetic title reign out of its misery. Devolution won’t be a factor which you seem to always need because Iearned this chance by winning the Trials of Fire match. When this is over and you don’t have the title anymore, I look forward to watching them kick you out realizing you’re the weak link that you are. All your progress and all your narratives go poof in a matter of three seconds and that scares you don’t it Jon?
(Jon shakes his head with a sarcastic smile.)
Veena Adams: Last year at Road to Redemption, me winning that title was an exorcism of all my demons of finally winning a championship, but this year…this year is going to be a STATEMENT and I look forward to doing it at your expense and shoe that the National Elite Championship has been in the wrong hands for the past six months. You stole that title and you will pay for your sins as I take everything from you and retake my spot as the National Elite Champion.
(Jon Kelton makes his way up the steps and steps into the ring and gets in the face of Veena.)
Jon Kelton: You really need to get something through that head full of air of yours which is I didn’t steal ANYTHING. Deep down you know I’m better but you use it as an excuse for nothing more than a coping mechanism. You are just coping with the fact that for once, something in your life isn’t going your way. That’s who you are Veena and no matter how much crop you spew about change, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a self-entitled rich little bitch who for the first time in her life isn’t getting what she wants and you just have no idea how to deal with it which is why you’re putting all your eggs in this Road to Redemption basket and don’t even realize it. You can say whatever you want about me, but at the end of the day, YOU were the one who attacked me from behind like a coward last week after I competed in a hard fought match showing just how much I’m in your head and you fear me and fear losing your one last ticket to glory. Some things change but even more stays the same and it will stay that way next weekend at Road to Redemption when you leave the event the same way you entered….a loser.
Veena Adams: Some things change but more they stay the same huh? The same exact thing can be said about you Jon who has been everybody’s bitch on this roster for most of his career, and next weekend … .nothing changes when I make you mine and take my championship back from your slimy ugly ass.
(Veena drops the mic before Jon and her have a face off in the middle of the ring before Kelton punches her in the face and both of them behind going back and forth with the other!)
Eve: OH MY!! THINGS GOT A BIT HEATED THERE AS VEENA AND JON ARE NOT WAITING UNTIL ROAD TO REDEMPTION, THEY’RE TRYING TO TEAR ONE ANOTHER APART RIGHT NOW!!!
Deadprez: KELTON MANAGES TO SHOVE VEENA BACK…AND OH A HARD RIGHT HAND KNOCKS VEENA OUT AND SHE’S OUT COLD ON THE MAT!!
(Kelton holds his fist up revealing the brass knuckles that Pandora uses on occasion as he is showered with boos.)
Eve: Well that certainly explains a lot. I find it hypocritical in my opinion crying about hitting from behind then using a secret weapon but maybe that’s just me. Things got heated tonight but it comes to a head next weekend when these two clash for the National Elite Championship at Road to Redemption!
(The final shot is of Jon Kelton picking up his title and standing above the lifeless body of Veena Adams and holding his National Elite Championship up high.)
Deadprez: Will this be the scene come Road to Redemption?!
Eve: BUT LOOK!! ASHLYNN QUINN RUSHES THE RING!
(Jon quickly exits the ring and backs up the ramp talking trash as Ashlynn checks on the motionless Veena in the ring as the camera fades to black.)
(The camera fades elsewhere.)
(Showdown slowly came back from commercials and then the mood completely shifted once more, instead of the arena or backstage, the cameras quickly tuning into a normal looking room, two leather chairs looking right in front of each other. Suddenly, two scenes in the same room started to shift between each other, the first one showing Kyra Phillips sitting down on one of the chairs, and then cutting into another scene, with Mikaela Street instead sitting down on the same chair with the usual bright smile she had on her face.)
(First, with Kyra, a woman calmly walked inside of the room wearing a white women’s suit and black high heels, Usagi Senshi, sat down in the other empty chair, crossed one of her legs over by the other and sat there with an expressionless face like before, simply here for business with the interview.)
(And then, with Mikaela, another woman walked inside of the room, wearing a black women’s suit and white high heels, ARIA, she was surprisingly elated and in a good mood, she adjusted the sunglasses she was wearing and sat down in the empty chair, resting her head on her hand as she waited for the interview to start.)
Kyra Phillips: All good to start, Usagi-
Usagi Senshi: Let’s get this done already.
(Kyra blinked confused as it seemed Usagi was in a bad mood, so she decided not to continue asking and she decided to start the interview. Meanwhile, Mikaela looked slightly confused seeing ARIA in such a cheery mood as she quickly spoke up.)
Mikaela Street: Hi there, Aria! Everything good?
ARIA: Oh, Mikaela, it couldn’t be any better! It feels like a weight was just lifted right off my shoulders and I feel like I could run through a brick wall at full speed! Why do you ask?
Mikaela Street: That is good! I was just asking because of, you know-
ARIA: I am sure we will get to my answers through your questions Mikaela, so go on!
(ARIA said to Mikaela with an even brighter smile than her’s, with this smile weirdly not as sincere as Aria’s smiles usually are. Mikaela felt kind of worried now but she decided to clear her throat and go on with the questions anyway.)
Kyra/Mikaela: Do you regret any decisions you have taken this season.
(Usagi’s eyes roll a bit once she hears that question.)
Usagi Senshi: Kyra, I’ve been asked this question many times throughout this season. Maybe a bit too much. From the very first day of Season 17, I knew that something was going to happen, I knew that a major change was going to be made, it was only a matter of time. After what happened at Midsummer Massacre, things started to tick – things finally started to make sense – and by the time that Territorial Invasion had came around, by the time that I had gotten a knee to the face by someone who I thought I could consider my best friend in this whole entire world, I made my decision, and I made it without hesitation. And then, I aligned myself with Devolution, and when I get asked this same question over and over again, I have the same exact answer. It won’t change now, Kyra. I don’t regret anything.
Usagi Senshi: Do I wish sometimes I could go back in time, and change things to see if it would have resulted in anything different than what happened in this reality? Maybe. Maybe I wish I could go back in time, and I could tell ARIA how this was going to end; in hopes that she would have been able to change herself so this never happened, but I can’t do that. I have to live with my own decisions and I have to say, I am living with them pretty peacefully right now. I feel free. I feel like I don’t have a burden on me anymore, I don’t have a chip on my shoulder anymore. I’m not in her shadow like I used to be. I can finally be my own person, I can finally be myself, and that would have never happened if I didn’t take the initiative and I didn’t turn my back on her all of those months ago. I don’t regret anything, because there is nothing to regret, there is never going to be anything to regret. I know what I am capable of, and it’s about time that people around me do too.
(Somehow, Aria’s smile gets a bit wider when hearing that kind of question before responding.)
ARIA: Honestly, no. I have tried my best to end up fixing something that was unfixable. And it feels like the world or destiny in some way ended up working out in my favor, because the decisions of everyone else, the decisions of the woman that I am going to fight at Road to Redemption, it ended up leading me to find out the genuine truth of everything. It does make me very angry though that I basically wasted months of my life in basically nothing, actually, why am I saying months? It was more years of my life having to waste my time on someone I thought I could actually trust, on someone who I could finally call a true friend, someone who wouldn’t take advantage of the love that I show for the people that I care about but hey, that is how the life story of little Aria goes, that is how the world is sometimes, take advantage of those weak who just want another hand to hold onto… what you see in front of you is biting the hand that starves you.
Kyra/Mikaela: Are you proud of the person you are right now?
(A small smile actually forms in Usagi’s face when hearing that question as she quickly responds.)
Usagi Senshi: For the first time in a very long time, I can proudly say; that yes. I am. I’m proud of who I have become, I am proud of the person I am, and that is because for years now, I have been left in a constant state of stress, that what I am doing is not enough, the crippling anxiety that maybe it is never going to be enough. Now, it feels as if the weight of the world has been lifted off of my shoulders, like I have cut a cancer within me and I have finally stopped carrying these burdens around with me. When you ask if I am proud of the person I am, that is an understatement, and an easy answer, because this is the real me. I can be confident with myself now. I can be who I was always meant to be.
Usagi Senshi: I always held back, because I knew that the people around me wouldn’t be able to handle the real side of me, who I truly am, who I was always going to be. So I changed the way that I perceived myself, I looked in the mirror and I gaslit myself into thinking that I was not that person, but now, because of Devolution, because of Pandora, I don’t need to worry about that anymore, I don’t need to worry about hurting anybody’s feelings. I will be as blunt and transparent as I possibly can be, and I will do it with a fucking smile on my face and no one is ever going to be able to stop me. And if being the real me, means that I am going to be hated amongst the fickle ass fans of Elite Answers Wrestling, then so be it, because one day, they are all going to come around again, they are all going to love me through the suffering and dread of their fan favourites falling to my sword. I am proud, I am very fucking proud, and it is time I finally live up to my true potential.
(Aria immediately begins to laugh in front of Mikaela’s face as soon as she hears that kind of question.)
ARIA: Oh come on Mikaela, did you make this question in like a few worthless seconds or did someone above your position give you a sheet of questions to throw at me? I don’t want you to think the wrong thing now, I haven’t drastically changed who Aria Lestrade is, I won’t suddenly start popping up in front of this camera twirling my evil moustache and monologue about plans to destroy the world, none of that. It is still me, it is still the Aria you all know and love, I still love the people who support me, I still love my ACTUAL friends, I will still give everything that I have to make sure to change the world for the better, it is just simple logic that after they tell you a big part of your life was a complete lie, something inside of you just completely shifts into something disgusting and vile that you will have to be forced to live with, this happened to little old Aria, and she broke down crying when it happened to her, when it happened again, the Aria of now decided to do something about it.
ARIA: I evolved into something more, Mikaela, into something that needed to be born. And besides, everyone has been clamoring and some of them have been poking the bear when it came to who Aria Lestrade truly was, some of them told me something I wasn’t, some of them told me something needed to change, some of them told me that I needed to do something about it, well? Here you go. You got what you wanted, but don’t blame me if you end up regretting your wish for it at the end. So yes, I am very proud of it.
Kyra/Mikaela: What are your current thoughts on this match?
(Usagi’s face formed into an expressionless one once more when hearing that question.)
Usagi Senshi: My current thoughts on the match for Road To Redemption, are the same exact thoughts that I have had from the moment that ARIA threw out the challenge, from the moment that I accepted that challenge under the terms of it taking place within my own playground of the Trip To Purgatory match. This is my time to show up, to show out, and to finally change the narratives and perceptions of the way people have looked upon me, because ARIA has never been able to beat me in a clean setting. She has had to climb up a ladder twice to retrieve something when I was already taken out both times, she has had to escape a Temple of Trials with the rest of her team. She hasn’t pinned me, she hasn’t made me tap out, and she hasn’t knocked me out all on her fucking own.
Usagi Senshi: And now, she finally has the chance to do that, and, much like she always does, she is going to crumble under the pressure, she is going to crumble under the weight of the world being placed onto HER shoulders, and in the big lights, that’s it. She’s going to fall to me, and she is going to fall to my sword, and there is nothing that she is going to possibly be able to do to change that, and that is there is to it. I have always been better than her. I have beaten her time and time again and I know that I can beat her again, and now that it is in my playground, now that it is under my own stipulation? I am the motherfucker that is going to be in control, and it is all going to be the fault of her own. She made the challenge, she made her own grave, and now she is going to lie in it six feet under while I am going to be the conductor of the funeral of her career, because after all of this time, it is only right I am the conductor.
(Aria ended up letting out a small yawn as she heard this question.)
ARIA: Bit of a boring one here, huh? I already explained it myself when I first threw the challenge towards my former friend but you know what? I have no problem playing into it, you know? Because this is indeed a very juicy match from a business standpoint, no? The Ice Aces Implode! Two longtime friends going right at each other’s neck in a bloody spectacle! There will be those kinds of neanderthals who will look at what is happening in that kind of way, but it does say a lot for all people if this match is just for everyone else’s entertainment to watch, no, no, this will probably be the first time in my long career than I am not going into a match for fun, for pride, for a championship or for the love of the game, I have shed tears, I have suffered mentally for this, I have sacrificed my body to make sure I got this kind of opportunity, I ended up showing a completely different side of Aria Lestrade to be able to go into this as strong mentally and physically as I can be, this isn’t just another match for me, this is the culmination of years of my life full of pain and torture that I will be able to correct and make all of it worth it at the end, by beheading the monster who brought it to me in the first place. You know what I think of this match? I wish I could kill a person on it, but that is frowned upon in all 50 states so I will go with the best option of bringing my former friend a feeling as close to death as possible.
(Mikaela felt kind of disturbed now after hearing those kinds of words from Aria but there was just one more question and she would be done. It quickly switched to Kyra and Usagi once more.)
Kyra Phillips: After what you revealed last week, who is Aria to you?
(Usagi’s face actually shows some emotion, one of annoyance and a bit of anger to it.)
Usagi Senshi: That’s such a foolish question for you to ask, Kyra, but, I’ll entertain it and answer it for you anyways. If you want me to be completely truthful with what you have to ask, do I see ARIA any differently? Not at all. She’s still the same person who I always tried to help no matter what, no matter the good or the bad, and in the end, she used me, she took advantage of me, and she made me out to be nothing more than a fool when I needed her. Everything that I revealed, of what I did to her amongst the locker rooms back in Japan, it doesn’t change my point of view on her. I gave her a second chance when I thought she deserved it the most, and she let me down, and she let me down in more ways than one.
Usagi Senshi: And now? I finally got my revenge. She doesn’t have anyone who is going to save her from Purgatory, she doesn’t have anyone who is going to save her from the pain and the suffering that I am going to put her through, for everything that she has ever done to me. I tried toughening her up, and clearly, after all of this time, it didn’t work for shit, because she is still the same innocent, sensitive, naive piece of trash that she always has been, just now? She is also a hypocrite on top of all of that. I’m not surprised. I wish things had turned out differently, I wish that things could have gone a completely different route, but in the end, it’s how we evolved. I made the mistake of ever thinking that ARIA deserved a second chance, that I could trust her to have my back if I was going to have her back. Everything she had ever gotten in this company was and is because of me, and now that she doesn’t have me to protect her, to watch her back, to save her from disaster, I’ll never be in her shadow again.
Mikaela Street: After what was revealed to you last week, who is Usagi to you?
(As soon as she hears that question, Aria’s smile immediately disappears and it turns into an expressionless face. She carefully took off her sunglasses and then she let out a sigh before she continued talking.)
ARIA: That woman has been a very big part of my life, I can not deny that at all, she has been one of the only people I have been able to open my heart to and be able to express all of my feelings to, my problems, my mistakes, my insecurities, all of the things I truly cared about, she was my friend, she was someone I loved with everything that I had, and even after the match that we have is over, we will still be together in a way, the scars that I cause her and she causes to me, they will stay forever…
Mikaela Street: So… what about trying to fix everything that happened-
ARIA: Why would I try to do that now, Mikaela? Why would I continue to chase some dumb objective from the start? I naively thought that I would be able to something after everything that happened, I genuinely believed that I would be able to get through to my “friend” and then be able to get her back, the old Usagi that I knew, but it seemed that she was horrible inside and out since the very beginning, everything that she has accused me from the past few months after we broke up she was the one who did since the start, why would I try to be friends again with someone who made my life hell since the very beginning? Why would I rep now the name of a group that was just full of lies since it was first conceived? This isn’t the truth I want to pursue anymore, the absolute truth of it all is that what I am going to be fighting for is to make sure that Usagi Senshi faces justice, she regrets everything that she has done since the very beginning of this whole problem she caused between us, I am going to make sure she pays for every bit of manipulation she tried to make over me and everyone else, she will finally realize the wrong of her ways and maybe she will finally understand all of the mistakes she has done, she will finally be able to understand how much she lost by doing the things she did to me or she will farther down her own personal hell. Either way, you can say what I am fighting for right now is just revenge, but it isn’t just that. It is divine intervention by my hand before she causes any more damage to anybody else.
Kyra/Mikaela: Any last words?
Usagi Senshi: Everybody already knows what I’ve had to go through my whole entire runtime of my career in Elite Answers Wrestling, and nothing was changing. I was considered an outcast, I was considered a career failure, I was considered lesser of my own group that I had created because of a bond of trust, and after all of this time, I’m still not validated enough to do what I did, because ARIA has forever been the golden girl of this company, from the moment that she signed the dotted line. She made The Ice Aces all about her, she succeeded without us even though she had always needed us the most when she was in trouble. Nobody seemed to care about how I have felt whenever I got the shit for the most outrageous things, and they expect ME to care about what I did to their precious fuckup?
Usagi Senshi: And so, what I am going to do by the time Road To Redemption comes around, when I face her inside of Trip To Purgatory, I am going to do it with a smile on my face and not a single care in this whole entire world, because she deserves it. She deserves the pain, she deserves the agony, she deserves the mental deterioration that I have had to go through for years upon end without any stop in sight. I know what I am going to be getting myself into, Kyra. This is my adaptation. This is my child. This Trip to Purgatory has been paid for by Starboy Inc. and ARIA is going to be getting the first fucking ticket to hell at Road To Redemption. I hope she is grateful for everything that I have ever done for her, I hope she is grateful for the times that I helped her win, that I helped her within her big moments, because those are never going to be a reality ever again. I am going to beat her an inch of her life and I am going to do it for myself and my own satisfaction. This interview is over.
(Usagi took the microphone off her blouse and threw it away, getting up and pushing the chair away in a harsh manner, as she turned and quickly left the room, as finally, it ended up switching to Aria and Mikaela.)
Aria: …Nah. I don’t need to say anything more when you can just look at me and you will understand everything I say. For I am that truth you all need… and will loathe to hear. Bye.
(Aria quickly put her sunglasses on once more and without saying anything else, she took off her microphone, got up and out of the chair, turned around and walked out of the room abruptly. And on that last note, as Kyra and Mikaela finish their interviews, Showdown fades away into commercials.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: And it is for the EAW New Breed Championship!!!
Gina Romano: Introducing first, the challenger…
(“POA” by Future hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: Currently residing in New Jersey, in the United States of America weighing in at 198 pounds he is the “Charismatic Artist” JAY JERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSON!!!!!
(Jay Jerry Johnson makes his way out to the ring looking chill and like this isn’t the biggest match of his career so far. He is looking to take his place as the face of the New Breed Division and it is clear that he is determined to do just that.)
Eve: Jay Jerry Johnson is coming into this contest with a lot of confidence in himself and there are many people in the EAW Universe who think that he has what it takes to win the title here tonight.
Deadprez: Triple J has referred to ending Jon Kelton’s New Breed Championship as a commitment and I personally think you should not count the Charismatic Artist out! We could have a new champion here tonight!
Gavin Kirkland: You know I am something of a Charismatic Artist myself. Would you like to see some of my artwork Eve?
Eve: Never again.
Deadprez: Wait you mean you saw… nevermind I don’t even want to know.
Eve: It’s true. You really don’t. Let’s just focus on the artwork that Jay Jerry Johnson is sure to perform in this match here tonight.
(‘No Surburban Pt. 2 ‘ by Sheff G hits to a big pop from the crowd as they rise out of their seats in anticipation.)
Gina Romano: Introducing the champion… currently residing in Dallas, Texas weighing in at 210 pounds he is “The Chosen One” JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN KELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Jon Kelton comes out to the ring holding his championship in one hand with a scowl on his face. He stomps his way down to the ring glaring at Jay Jerry Johnson not even blinking. He tosses his championship with one arm over to the timekeeper’s table as he enters the ring and clenches his teeth looking like he wants to murder the challenger here tonight.)
Eve: God damn this man is intense he is showing that he is bringing a very intimidating presence here tonight and Jay Jerry Johnson will need to be able to keep his cool with this kind of tension.
Gavin Kirkland: Lmao he doesn’t scare me. He’s not that big. I could take him. All he needs is the Gavin special and I’ll make sure that I beat the shit out of him AND take London as well.
Deadprez: :mjlol: Yeah I hope you try. But seriously Jon Kelton is on a mission to prove to the haters and losers that his EAW New Breed Championship is no fluke. He is a future Hall of Famer and that starts by dominating each and every man and woman in this New Breed Division. That includes you too Gavin he will end you if you even think of becoming a wrestler.
Gavin Kirkland: I think I will stick to commentary then.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: We are underway as Jay Jerry Johnson and Jon Kelton face off in the ring knowing full well what is on the line. The New Breed Championship. They are going to kill each other to walk out with the gold and tonight they have the opportunity to prove who is the face that represents the very future of this company. Jay extends his hand to Kelton in a show of respect.
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t do it! It’s a trap!!!
(Jon Kelton shakes Jay Jerry Johnson’s hand.)
Eve: Well I guess it wasn’t actually a trap. They are now circling around the ring as they showed some respect and can now get to the actual wrestling portion of this match. Round and round they go at impressive speed before they aggressively lock up in the ring. It appears that Jon Kelton has the power advantage over Jay Jerry Johnson to start here as he pushes him back into the corner as hard as he can slamming his opponent back first into the turnbuckle. Wait no! Jay managed to use Kelton’s momentum to spin around and slammed Kelton into the turnbuckle instead! But Kelton angrily charges out of the corner shoving Jay all the way across the ring before grabbing him by the neck and hurling him back first into the corner. Jay slams into the corner and ragdolls over the top turnbuckle tumbling down and out to the floor outside.
Deadprez: Jon Kelton flexing in the ring as Jay Jerry Johnson recovers on the outside. Kelton waits for him as he rolls back into the ring clearly posturing as the champion in this match. Jay is not going to take kindly to that however as he is back in the ring and Kelton charges in with a vicious Clothesline! But Jay ducks beneath! He runs across the ring off the ropes as Kelton collides with the corner turnbuckle hitting his arm hard on the padding from the momentum of that Clothesline. Jay charges in and knocks Kelton down with a Running Shoulder Tackle! Kelton back up now and this time he’s the one being postured on as Jay yells at Kelton to come on and give him the New Breed Champion that he wanted to face this week! An angry scowl on the face of Kelton as it quickly turns into a smug smirk and he tightens his ring gear before pacing around the ring once again not allowing Jay to get into his head.
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Jon Kelton once again as he locks up with Jay Jerry Johnson on equal footing in the squared circle once more. No! Jay swerves around and grabs Kelton from behind! But Kelton hauls back and catches Jay in the head with a hard back elbow staggering him as he caught him on the side of the head with that blow. He got him right on the ear and that drops Jay down to his knee as he holds his head in pain and the ropes with his other arm as he tries to recover and Kelton looks down on him with disdain. Jay pulls himself back up now and he knows for sure that Kelton is not playing around. His title is on the line after all. Jay charges in as Kelton tries to catch him but ends up going low. Jay grabs the legs of Kelton trying to take him off his feet and get him into a more vulnerable position but Kelton refuses to allow Jay to even lift his leg! But Jay gets it up!
Eve: Jon Kelton tries to stomp down hard on the boot of Jay Jerry Johnson who ducks behind his opponent grabbing him around the waist. He tosses him back with a German Suplex dropping Kelton hard on his neck! But Kelton rolls through back to his feet. Jay lying in wait as he begins to hammer and bash in the skull of Kelton again and again battering him across the ring and into the ropes as he has him shaken. Jay with a hard bashing of Kelton’s head as he punches him closed fist right in the jaw and I think I just saw a tooth fly there. Jay is mean mugging Kelton now as he begins to talk some smack that the audio isn’t picking up which is probably best for our innocent younger viewers. Kelton retaliates by shoving Jay away from him hard but Jay charges back in. Kelton grabs him by the throat tossing him into the corner. Kelton charges in but Jay leaps up to the middle rope and kung fu kicks the shit out of Kelton-
Deadprez: No! Jon Kelton caught the leg and he whirls down with Jay Jerry Johnson’s leg bringing him down from the middle turnbuckle to the mat. Jay pulls himself up in the corner but gets met with a one handed choke from Kelton who then begins to batter on Jay with repeated Clotheslines into the corner. But Jay manages to stay on his feet despite the immense force of those Clotheslines as Kelton waits for Jay to come out of the corner. Jay comes out and he throws some punches before Kelton responds with some of his own! Jay gets the advantage! He runs off the ropes as he looks to take Kelton off his feet!!! NO!!! BICYCLE KICK FROM KELTON CONNECTS RIGHT IN THE HEAD OF JAY WHO GOES FLYING ACROSS THE RING! JAY KEEPS ON ROLLING UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND FALLS TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING HOLDING HIS JAW IN SEVERE AGONY!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Jay Jerry Johnson staggers around ringside like a drunk as his brains have clearly been scattered here tonight. He yells at the timekeeper demanding the New Breed Championship but the timekeeper reminds him that he hasn’t won the match yet. Jon Kelton is looking pissed from inside the ring. He’s not going to give up that belt unless you beat him Jay! You gotta go in the ring and beat him! Then hopefully we can get this match over with and get to another match that has more sexy bitches in it. :mjlit:
Eve: Eeew no. I hope this match goes on all night long. Just to piss you off Gavin you dirty perv. Anyway this match is getting heated now as Triple J begins throwing chairs and shit around ringside. He’s not happy but he needs to calm down and can’t let Jon Kelton get all up in his head. Eventually he walks back up the steel ring steps and into the ring. But Kelton kicks him in the chest as he climbs between the ropes! Jay staggers forward and Kelton grabs him around the neck and drags him down into the Ether!!! He has it locked in tight!!!
Deadprez: No! Jay Jerry Johnson rolls through and gets to the ropes forcing Jon Kelton to break the hold immediately. That hold can be deadly and he sure as shit don’t wanna tap out in this match or he can say goodbye to that championship. Jay back up as he ducks a Clothesline from Kelton and goes behind him applying a Headlock and drags Kelton down to his knees. He wrenches back on the head as Kelton is bent backwards in a dangerous way as Jay applies a Dragon Sleeper hold and continually pulls back on the back of Kelton. Kelton just may snap and too off this!
Gavin Kirkland: But Jon Kelton manages to use all his strength to pull forward and tosses Jay Jerry Johnson up over his head and shoulders breaking the arm free and whipping him down to the mat with a classic throw. Jay rolls up to his feet in the corner as Kelton charges in! He leaps up to the middle ropes and grabs onto the shoulders of Kelton before rolling back into the ring launching Jay high in the air to land on his back! He holds onto it too as he rolls onto the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE————
Eve: Kickout by Jay Jerry Johnson as the match will continue. Jon Kelton stalks his prey in the corner waiting for Triple J to get back up before charging in… DOUBLE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE!!! No! Jay dodged it!!! He grabs the arms of Kelton from behind and drags him down into a pin of his own!!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE————
Deadprez: Jon Kelton kicks out! He grabs the legs of Jay Jerry Johnson and twists him around into a Sharpshooter! But Jay kicks him off! No Kelton holds onto the legs of Jay who flips over onto his stomach and it looks like he is going to lock him into a Boston Crab now! But Triple J tosses Kelton off him sending him flipping over on the mat. Jay quickly goes in to lock Kelton into an Ankle Lock as he is flexing his mat wrestling on this challenger here tonight. Jay screaming in pain as he strives to reach the ropes. He manages to turn himself over onto his back and begins punching at the face of Kelton before kicking him off and breaking out of the hold. Jay runs off the ropes as he gets back up and collides with Kelton taking him down but Kelton immediately kips back up and takes out Jay with a lightning speed Superkick to the face out of nowhere!!!
Gavin Kirkland: God damn! Jon Kelton with that second wind! Jay Jerry Johnson back up as Kelton comes off the ropes with immense quickness and leaps like a cat up onto Triple J! LOU THESZ PRESS!!! I DON’T KNOW WHO THAT IS WAS HE A WRESTLER BACK IN THE OLD DAYS OF EAW LIKE 2008 OR SOME SHIT? BUT JON KELTON IS PUNCHING AWAY ON JAY AND JUST LAYING INTO HIM!!! JAY IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN AS THE CRIMSON MASK HAS BEGIN TO FLOW ACROSS HIS FACE HERE TONIGHT IN INDIANAPOLIS!!!!!!!!!! THE CROWD IS WILDIN’ FOR JON KELTON!!!
Crowd: KEL-TON! KEL-TON! KEL-TON!
Gavin Kirkland: He sucks ass tho. Gonna lose that title tonight fr! :russlol:
Eve: :usure:
Gavin Kirkland: :imsure: Jon Kelton grabs the arm of Jay Jerry Johnson and he wrenches it back… he wraps his arm into his legs and extends into the Crossface!!! The Ether has been applied!!! Kelton has it locked in tight and there is nowhere for Triple J to go! He is going to have to tap out here and walk away in shame. THE HOLD IS IN AND THERE IS NO ESCAPE!!! JAY IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AS HE TRIES IN VAIN TO GET OUT OF THIS CONTRAPTION THAT HE FINDS HIMSELF IN! KELTON KNOWS HE HAS THIS THING WON!!! JAY REACHES OUT HE HAS A HAND UP! WILL HE TAP?!?!? WILL HE TAP?!?!?
Deadprez: He refuses to tap! In the corner of his eye Jay Jerry Johnson sees the EAW New Breed Championship glimmering across the ring over by our announce table here at ringside! He sees the prize and knows that he can’t give up! Not just yet!!! It gives him a second wind to keep fighting! He manages to drag himself and Kelton across the ring a few inches further! He is just millimeters away from the ropes! He reaches for it! But he can’t quite get it! He’s almost there! He raises his hand up. BUT IS IT TO TAP OR IS IT TO GRAB THE BOTTOM ROPE??!?!?!?
Eve: JAY JERRY JOHNSON REACHES THE BOTTOM ROPE! THE ETHER HAS BEEN BROKEN AND JAY HAS BEEN FREED!!! Jon Kelton is enraged. He won’t be having no more of this shit as he releases the hold and Curb Stomps Jay’s head into the mat as punishment for defying him. Kelton is on some shit and he is not going to allow this rebellion from Jay to continue here tonight without crushing his ambitions.
Gavin Kirkland: Jon Kelton is seething as he climbs onto the back of Jay Jerry Johnson and delivers blows into the back of his neck repeatedly bashing his skull into the mat leaving a blood red stain as his face repeatedly collides with the canvas. Kelton showing no mercy as he is going to knock Triple J out and prove who the dominant competitor is here tonight at all costs. He gives zero fucks and he is going to wipe out all competition in his path to ensure that nobody in the New Breed even thinks of challenging him again without knowing that they are about to get into the ring with a real savage type gangsta motherfucker.
Deadprez: The referee now pulling Jon Kelton off of Jay Jerry Johnson as he goes to check on him clearly concerned by his motionless state in the ring. But Jay is moving just a little bit! That is enough for Kelton to shove the referee aside as he grabs on the leg of Triple J. But Jay grabs onto the bottom rope! Kelton yanks him off as Jay flips up to his feet and manages to catch the head of Kelton from behind!!! He yanks him down!!! JAY PULLS KELTON DOWN INTO A CROSSFACE OF HIS OWN!!! THE JERRY SPECIAL HAS BEEN LOCKED IN! KELTON GETTING A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE AS HE HAS BEEN TRAPPED IN THIS MOVE AND JAY IS PULLING LIKE THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE HE HAS AT WINNING THIS MATCH AND THE TITLE!!! AND IT VERY WELL COULD BE!!! BUT KELTON IS FADING!!! YEAH HE ALL FADED.
Eve: BUT JON KELTON DRAPES HIS ARM OVER THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! Jay Jerry Johnson just so happened to apply the Jerry Special a little too close to the ropes and Kelton was able to capitalize on that! Kelton showing that finely tuned ring awareness developed over the centuries that he has been here in EAW. Triple J collapses to the mat in sadness as the referee forces him to break the hold and he has lost so much blood and taken so much skull trauma at this point he may be losing self-awareness and not even know where he is as he stares up at those bright bright lights shining down on him in the Lucas Oil Stadium. Jay is going to need to get some of that oil in him to keep going at this rate. Both men down as the referee starts a ten count for them to get back up.
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: FOUR!
Referee: FIVE!
Referee: SIX!
Referee: SEVEN!
Referee: EIGHT!
Referee: NINE!
Referee: TE-
Gavin Kirkland: Both men groggily make it back to their feet in time as they meet in the ring and exchange hard forearms to the face!!! Jay Jerry Johnson tries to take Jon Kelton’s head off! Kelton returns in kind! JAY! KELTON! JAY! KELTON! JAY! KELTON! The crowd is behind both men here tonight and they don’t know who they want to win but it is clear both men themselves will fight until they get knocked the fuck out here tonight! They want to win that championship or die trying!
Deadprez: Hard forearm to the face from Jon Kelton nearly takes Jay Jerry Johnson off his feet! Kelton takes Jay down with a rapid arm drag but Jay rolls back to his feet! Kelton off the ropes… but Jay back up and leapfrogs him! Jay grabs the arm taking Kelton down into the Jerry Special once again! No! This time Kelton rolls through it back up to his feet! Kelton charges full forces towards Jay!!! KELTON WITH A CHARGING SPEAR SENDING JAY ALL THE WAY INTO THE CORNER WITH THE FORCE!!! SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR!!!
Eve: Jon Kelton just ripped Jay Jerry Johnson in half with that Spear. :whew: Kelton taking control here as he signals that he is going to end this thing. He is going to mercifully put Jay Jerry Johnson away who has put on the fight of his life tonight against the champion! But he hasn’t been able to pull it off and Kelton is going to put a cap in his ass with the Final Atonement right here right now!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Jon Kelton kicks Jey Jerry Johnson in the midsection followed by locking Jay’s armed behind his back as Kelton goes to drop Jay face first to the canvas!!!
Deadprez: No! Jay Jerry Johnson manages to break his arms free!!! He twists around and grabs Jon Kelton by the head and pulls him down with him!!! He pulls him into the Small Package!!! WHAT A COUNTER HE’S GONNA STEAL THIS THING!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: No! Jon Kelton managed to kick out! Jay Jerry Johnson nearly had him there!
Gavin Kirkland: Jay Jerry Johnson and Jon Kelton back up as Jay catches Kelton out of nowhere with the Pretty Visitor! The Cutter connects!!! Kelton is down and Jay is measuring his opponent!!! He charges in and kicks Kelton’s head off his shoulders with a Punt Kick! That may be all she wrote for the champion! Kelton being pulled up by Jay and I am not sure what he is going for here!!! He has Jay up on his shoulders!!! But now he is climbing the corner turnbuckle! That ain’t easy to do with a guy like Kelton on your shoulders but Jay will do whatever it takes to win! Holy shit what the fuck does he have planned here. IT CAN’T BE!!! HOLY SHIT JAY JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH KELTON ON HIS BACK!!!
Deadprez: TOP ROPE EMERALD FLOWSION!!! YKHM ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S ALL OVER!!!
Eve: Or it would be had it actually connected. :mjlol: !!! Which it didn’t!
Gavin Kirkland: Jon Kelton flips out of it and lands on his feet in the ring!! Jay Jerry Johnson spins around wildly thinking he had just finished off the champion. But he realizes quickly that is not the case!!! He turns arou-
Eve: FINAL ATONEMENT!!! THIS TIME KELTON GETS ALL OF IT!!! THE COVER AS JON KELTON FALLS ONTO TRIPLE J LOOKING TO RETAIN!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… and STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION………. JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN KELTONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘No Surburban Pt. 2 ‘ by Sheff G hits as the crowd erupts into cheers while Jon Kelton is handed the EAW New Breed Championship by the referee and has his arm raised in victory.)
Eve: A dominant retention here tonight from the EAW New Breed Champion! Jon Kelton continues to be the face of the New Breed Division here in EAW and tonight gave the entire roster a reminder as to why!
Deadprez: I don’t know if there is anyone who can stop this man! He is dangerous and has likely shortened Jay Jerry Johnson’s already short career just by being in the ring with him here tonight. He claims to be the Chosen One and after this performance can anyone doubt him?
Gavin Kirkland: Yes they can. And I will. :wow:
Eve: Well I guess if you are an idiot you can.
Gavin Kirkland: :comeagain:
Deadprez: Jon Kelton’s ultimate goal here in EAW is to be one day sitting in the Hall of Fame and he clearly has what it takes to get there but I feel like this may be only the beginning for the path of dominance that Kelton intends to unleash upon the poor unsuspecting innocent wrestlers on the EAW roster! Ain’t nobody safe!!!
(Jon Kelton is shown celebrating with his valet / manager Londyn Zelaya as he leaves ringside with the championship. Fans in the audience are shown thirsting wishing they too could leave with someone like Londyn. Gavin Kirkland is shown somehow at the top of the ramp trying to convince her to leave with him but Kelton tells him to sit his ass back down.)
Eve: What the… he was just next to me a second ago…
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Ronan Malosi’s Let’s Play of Spider-Man on PS5. The game begins with Spider-Man leaping out of his apartment window with the game slowing down to show the controls for web swinging. However, he immediately crashes to the ground and dies as the stream comes to an end.)
(Showdown fades backstage where interviewer, Kyra Phillips is standing with the four women representing Showdown in the ‘Showdown vs. Voltage’ match at Road to Redemption — Princess Candice Blair, IDOL-GUN’s Miku Sakai, The Devolution’s Delilah Rose and ‘The Queen of Shadows,’ Caroline. On paper, it seems like a solid group. On anything else, you can see the obvious dysfunction with these four. These are four Elitists that you would never put in a match due to different egos and personalities that will end up clashing.)
Kyra Phillips: In about one week’s time, the four of you will be facing Voltage’s NICHOLISM, Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro in a ‘Showdown vs. Voltage’ bout. As of earlier this week, this match has been made official —
Princess Candice Blair: — Don’t remind me.
(Everyone else proceeds to ignore Princess Candice Blair as her comment was just saying, but not really acknowledged much. The three other women are in tune with Kyra Phillips as Candice continues to throw herself a bit of a pity party in the background of it all.)
Kyra Phillips: Well, earlier in the week, this match was made official for Road to Redemption next weekend. Last week, we had Heidi Huxley announce the team for the Showdown brand, which would take on Voltage’s side, which was announced the night after with NICHOLISM’s Ruler and Alex Myers versus #DOMIA, also known as Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro. Ladies, what are your thoughts on everything about this?
Princess Candice Blair: You want to know MY thoughts on this? This entire thing is HORRIFYING to me! H-O-R-R-I-FYING! Oh my god, I hope I spelled that right! I googled that word when I realized that this match became official. But, I’m not sure if Caroline’s spooky black mist getting into the eyes of my sweet bestie Heidi #PrayForHeidi or Miku Sakai’s awful screeching voice and even more annoying partner or Delilah’s gap tooth and ugly cheap haircut – no offense- but I do NOT want to team with any of them! I think that this entire thing is an abomination. A princess like myself deserves soooo much better than to be dealing with women who want nothing more than to tear a beautiful, kind-hearted, soul like myself down. I mean, who would ever want to do that to someone like me?
Miku Sakai: Excuse me? First off, you’re fucking annoying and second: my voice is BEAUTIFUL! You’re just a hater, Candice. All of you bitches in this match are the same. This entire brand is full of haters. I fucking it hate it here. And, they’re also ugly, but Candice, you’re the fakest of fakes. Just like your tiara. I bet that tiara is fake like your tits —
Princess Candice Blair: LANGUAGE, MIKU! Do you want to get fined by Disney? We’re trying not to get Showdown off the air!
Caroline: That’s tragic.
(Caroline is heard in the background as she’s filing her sharp black nails with a nail file. Just like with Princess Candice Blair earlier, no one puts much attention to her as they’re all focused on this interview.)
Miku Sakai: FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK …
Princess Candice Blair:
Miku Sakai: Fucking dumbass motherfuckers. You think that I want to be spending my Road to Redemption week teaming with you whores? I don’t give a shit about this match. I don’t give a shit about any of you. Do you want to know what I give a shit about? Those Unified Tag Team Championships. Now, that’s good shit there. Do you want to know what else is good shit? Teaming with my BEST FRIEND in this ENTIRE world, Hikari Kanno. What is the one thing in this world that makes me truly happy in this place? So why are we not trying to do that? Why are we not trying to make Miku happy? Does my happiness not exist around here, hmm? I thought that Disney was supposed to make EAW the ‘Happiest Place on Earth,’ but I feel like a sad panda right now? Can you really blame me when we have Tits McGee from Whore Island, Daryl Kinkade in drag and spooky emo bitch #5 as partners? None of these bitches have shit on Hikari Kanno! Hikari SHOULD be in this match! Hikari should be standing alongside me! Kennedy just threw away her only shot at winning this match by making Hikari sit this one out!
Princess Candice Blair: Over who though?
Miku Sakai: I think it’s obvious.
(Princess Candice Blair’s jaw drops completely on the floor. She feels completely offended as she steps aside to let everyone else talk. She begins to fumble around with her anxiety ring, looking down as Caroline glares at Candice from across Kyra Phillips. Candice is oblivious to the entire thing .With that, Delilah Rose takes it as her cue to say something to add onto the interview.)
Delilah Rose: It seems like the feeling is quite mutual here. No one wants to team with each other. It’s fair. I don’t want to team with any of you. The more I stand here and let all of you talk, I lose braincells. I begin to lose all sense of sanity, but we need to all recollect our thoughts. We have our issues with each other. Caroline has been looking at Candice like she’s envisioning fifty ways to murder Candice in cold blood. We have Miku, who is a ticking time bomb and will snap at anyone. We have Candice who looks like she might legit throw up —
Princess Candice Blair: Does anyone have a brown bag?
(No one answers, completely ignoring ‘The Face of Disney’, but Princess Candice Blair proceeds to look at the gothic fedora hat on the top of Caroline’s curled blonde locks.)
Caroline: Don’t even fucking think about it.
Kyra Philips: (talking to someone off camera) Can someone please get her something before she throws up here?
Princess Candice: Don’t worry. It passed.
Miku Sakai: Sadly, you haven’t.
Delilah Rose: Guys, let’s focus here. Think about the possibilities that could come off winning this for Showdown. For you, Caroline or Candice, it can get you back in the championship hunt. Candice, I know that you’ve been putting in the work to get that first title. Caroline, I know that you’d love ANOTHER championship to add to your collection. As for you, Miku, it could be a step into getting IDOL-GUN that opportunity at the Unified Tag Team Championships — well, maybe, after Devolution gets their shot. After all, I’m doing this match for mine and The Devolution’s gain.
Miku Sakai: At least, you got your intentions in the way. But, if you think that The Devolution is ever getting another title outside of the National Elite Championship…
Delilah Rose: And, you think that you’re getting a shot at the tag titles after Hikari Kanno’s efforts this season —
Miku Sakai: One: Hikari doesn’t need to prove shit to any of you Devolution dumbasses. Two: Wasn’t Hikari on the winning team at The Last Stand? A match that you tried to cost us? Three: at least, Hikari’s been champion…twice. Talk to me when you got one title to your name. As of right now, talk to the hand. 🫸
(Miku Sakai pie faces Delilah Rose, causing ‘The Final Boss’ to stumble back a bit. Meanwhile, it seems like Kyra Phillips is trying to get this interview back on track.)
Kyra Phillips: It seems like everyone in this match has some things to say to each other, but Caroline, we haven’t heard much from you. It took you a few weeks following your ‘Disney Park Brawl’ with Princess Candice Blair for you to return to Showdown. You returned and sprayed the black mist into the eyes of Heidi Huxley. Now, what was the reason for the action last week?
(Caroline remains completely silent, but pulls the act that she’s pondering. She tries to look like she’s genuinely pondering over her actions towards Heidi Huxley last week, but you know that there is zero remorse from Caroline. The longer that Caroline ‘ponders,’ the more that it tends to irritate Princess Candice Blair.)
Princess Candice Blair: You sprayed Heidi Huxley with your black mist and you say NOTHING? You say NOTHING at all? This is unbelievable, but what can I expect from a woman who saw the ‘fun’ in bullying me for two plus months?
(Caroline stands there, with a soft smirk on her face and says nothing.)
Princess Candice Blair: I am horrified with having to team with all of you, but I am horrified about having to team with YOU the most. I’m not sure why Kennedy was even thinking when she decided to put you and me on the same side, but maybe, she wasn’t thinking straight. Maybe she didn’t have her Starbucks before the show? Maybe, she had other things to be focusing on. You should be thankful that Heidi’s giant red, pumping heart, had some compassion to make sure that you wouldn’t be left off this Road to Redemption card. You hurt Heidi the most and she could have hated you. She could have stood there and coware over the sight of you, but she remained her brave, beautiful and flawless self. Still, you showed yourself to be such an ugly, vile, little witch. I thought The Last Stand was going to be the night that I brought the light out of you —
Caroline: You thought wrong. You are a pathetic little girl, who has lost all touch of reality. You believe there is such a thing as ‘happily ever after.’ For those few weeks, I allowed you to think that you got your happy ending, Candice. I allowed you to continue to go down the path of delusion as you thought that being on the bottom of a pile of Disney princesses was going to be enough to get rid of me, but I am someone, you will never get rid of, Candice. I am the monster underneath your bed. I am the shadow of the moon at night – if you want to get all Disney. Most importantly, I am in your head, Candice. I will always be a part of you – no matter where your career is headed. You can thank me for bringing that side of you at The Last Stand. I gave you a few weeks of relief and a happy ending. You thought the ending was you bringing me into the light and finding ‘Sweet’ Caroline in your presence. You’re really pathetic.
Miku Sakai: ‘RT.’ Remember when Twitter was a thing? But, I agree with you, Caroline.
Princess Candice Blair: Oh shut up, Miku.
(Before that, a bunch of commotion erupts as the four women are arguing with each other. It’s not clear on what exactly is being said, but all four of them have some issue with the other. After a while, all four of them are turned back-to-back-to-back-to-back. No one wants to look at the other.)
Delilah Rose: OKAY, I’ve had enough with this! I’m out!
Miku Sakai: Yeah, fuck this! Just stay out my way and we’ll be good!
Princess Candice Blair: I AM GOING TO KENNEDY ABOUT ALL OF YOU!
Caroline: See, if I care!
(Princess Candice Blair pulls out her iPhone and begins to dial Kennedy Street.)
Princess Candice Blair: I AM TELLING ON YOU FIRST—
(A shriek pierces through backstage as Princess Candice Blair is taken down by NICHOLISM’s Alex Myers. An Elitist that she has her fair of history with. A few years ago, the two of them faced off in a Casket Match at Road to Redemption, which landed in Candice Blair winning and sending Alex Myers off to Dynasty in losing note. Alex is completely battering Candice with their fists snatching the tiara off her head and snapping it like a twig. Alex sends Princess Candice Blair through the ‘Showdown’ monitor right behind them. The glass shattering as Candice is now full of cuts and glass around her face, clearly unconscious.)
(With that, Miku Sakai and Delilah Rose race to attack Alex Myers, but Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro step in front of them. We have Miku and Donovan, who are throwing punches to each other. Donovan is ramming the former Unified Tag Team Champion against the wall. While not much interactions like the latter, the two of them were in the same Cash in the Vault ladder match earlier this year at Pain for Pride. Donovan is able to isolate Miku from the rest of the group. Meanwhile, we see Mia, who is holding her own against Delilah. Both women are around the newer side, despite being here for several months. Both of them are rising stars in their own right, looking to solidify and make names for themselves. Mia manages to take Delilah away from the rest of the group before nailing her with a ‘Safe Passage’ — the gut wrench into a backstabber. Just like in perfect timing, Donovan nails Miku with a ‘Duke of Hazzard’ — a fireman’s carry back-to-belly piledriver as Miku is dropped on the concrete floor. Mia walks over to Donovan, looking impressed at him taking down Miku.)
Mia Santoro: Great job, Donny!
Donovan Duke: Thanks. Great job too!
(Mia Santoro extends her hand to help Donovan Duke up. Donovan takes it with no hesitation as Mia pulls him up to his feet. The two of them look at each other, almost lost in the moment, before looking across from them and it’s Caroline that is staring down at #DOMIA. With almost the confidence and determination that had been growing with Mia during her time on Voltage, Mia steps up to ‘The Queen of Shadows’ — even impressing Donovan. But, there’s a reason for that. Mia is looking over Caroline’s shoulder as Caroline realizes that it’s not her that Mia is looking at. Caroline turns around as she’s looking at the same man, who played a role in her transformation, Ruler. The entire backstage goes silent at these two. This is a rivalry that goes back to last season on the Dynasty brand and still, there seems to be still bad blood between them. Caroline goes to surprise Ruler with the black mist like she did with Heidi Huxley, but it’s Ruler who sprays his black mist to Caroline first before taking her down with ‘The Revolutionizer’ — the spinning back heel kick that takes Caroline down instantly.)
(Voltage’s group with Donovan Duke, Mia Santoro and NICHOLISM regroup with each other, looking down at the mess they created backstage with the bodies of Showdown’s Caroline, Candice Blair, Delilah Rose and Miku Sakai. All of them are being checked on by medical personnel, who are yelling at Voltage’s group at Road to Redemption to get away from the scene. NICHOLISM looks more than proud of their handiwork. There’s some remorse with Donovan Duke, but Mia Santoro looks quite pleased as she tries to be happy for her and Donovan.)
(The scene fades elsewhere.)
[SCREEN BAR- EARLIER THIS WEEK]
(We are just mere days away from Road To Redemption, and these 3 ladies will be participating in the match up, on behalf of Showdown! Starting with Ashlynn Quinn, who was posted up in a very nice residence, sitting poolside. She had a robe on to truly nail it home, as she sat in a chair.)
Ashlynn Quinn: In just a few days, the long winded, and waited opportunity for me to step inside the Specialists Chamber. Personally, I’m not going to act like I LOVE the idea of sharing this opportunity with multiple other women, especially the diplomats on Showdown, AKA the former Cosmic Brownies, who horrifically went above and beyond, and quite frankly, if I were the one calling the shots, I would have them removed from the premise, and be eligible to enter the chamber! And then, there wouldn’t be anything stopping me even less! Not that these two wannabe main characters are stopping me anyways. It really is a disease, like a very, very bad disease. They had a match against each other that they thought meant something, and now think just because of that, they’re set in life. As if, not ever. Bea Valentine may be pretty and all – but let’s face it, who would you rather have on a poster? Me, or her? my thoughts exactly. I have nothing else I could possibly prove to the other women in this match either, outside of Showdown. Do you think I’m going to be moved by a Sally or a Rory? No way. I’m going to put it to all these women on Showdown, and rightfully become, champion 💅 I’m sorry for anyone in the match that actually believes they have a chance, but by luck of the draw, I’ve had the easy path in since the start! clobbered Delulu, and got to ride my high horse to this moment!! I can’t wait to serve everyone up in this match with a high dosage of reality! To be honest though, I may keep the Gloria name, kinda cute to be honest. But yeah, my post victory photoshoot is going to be iconic!!!! none of the other losers can ever slay this hard 💅💅
(Ashlynn looked at her nails, examining and nodding her head. But then the scene would shift focus, and show elsewhere else. Footage began playing of other members of the chamber. We saw Rory, Bea Valentine, Kasai, Sally and Ashlynn. But they aren’t being shown as highlights, more so.. being studied. Nikki Kimura closely examined the tape as it followed.)
Nikki Kimura: My whole life, I feel like it has been reduced down to one thing, tape study. Even back when I was a young girl playing soccer, I kept my premise at large, focusing on the balance, and shifting the narratives as they swapped in my favor. I have paid close attention to what the other women have done in this match. And for others? maybe just.. a little too close. I pride myself on the match that I had with Kasai, but I still want to, and need to, get better. For example, I take a look at what I did wrong in that match. I take a look at what I have done wrong in all my matches really. I think of the setbacks, but most of all, I consider the steps forward. Walking into this chamber, I don’t know what to predict – but I know to be on my A-game. I am a lockdown defender for a reason, I possess the wear and tear that only one woman in this match really knows all too well about. And when you put me in between multiple others before getting to her, the same mistake won’t be made as last time. I have done nothing but spend my valuable time dedicated to knowing every flaw, nook and cranny of my opponent. Naming a championship may be one of the biggest disgraces to our sport, almost as much as Ashlynn Quinn being considered a professional wrestler. I will be taking that crap out, and putting the prestige back into it, I can promise you that much. I know every counter and flaw, and I will use that to my advantage.
(Nikki confidently said, as she went back to viewing the footage in front of her, very focused and locked in on the tape in front of her. We then pan, and see Kasai now. She was getting herself ready for the match as well. Maybe a bit too extreme however, as she was sitting inside a tub of ice. As a narration from her, played over.)
Kasai: The reason I stand here today is not in part to show off. I go back to my first calculated encounter with Kasai, and how we spoke of bee stings and so on, so forth. I sat inside this bathtub, the cold ice.. I showed her that I was a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately for me, she managed to get the best of me. I had to go on some serious soul searching, finding myself embarking on a partnership with one woman in this match, Nikki Kimura. Since coming to Showdown, I put my foot on the gas. I said I wasn’t going to allow another peer of my equal to surpass me. I won at Territorial Invasion, and I won at The Last Stand. But my hunt is still not over yet, and my thirst for hunger is still driven, as no one is going to stand in my way between me and becoming Specialists Champion. Not Ashlynn, not Nikki, not Rory, not Sally.. not Bea Valentine herself. I love being in a chaos controlled environment, as you can’t predict what will happen! You only have to stay on your feet and hope for the best. That’s where I thrive. I always prepare myself, and get ready for what comes next. I always make sure to stay in tippy top shape. That’s why I sit here, because I want to traject this back to the beginning of my career here at EAW. I want to show the likes of Bea Valentine what others like Nikki Kimura have learnt. I have changed so much, in just a little time. I waited all this time, for an opportunity to come along, and I’ll never run away from the task ahead.. only embrace it. And with the task that lies ahead; becoming champion is my underlying goal.
(With that being said, Kasai would rise up from the tub of ice, as it soon cut and showed Ashlynn entering the pool after getting up from her chair, and then a shot of Nikki Kimura tentatively focused on every little detail of her opponent. It would fade out from that final shot.)
[RTR Rewind]
(The ominous Chamber starts to lower as the fans in Beijing get up off their seat and go wild. Gina Romano standing on the side of the ring is ready to announce the match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… the following contest is the MAIN EVENT of night one and it is THE SHOWDOWN ELIMINATION CHAMBER for the ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
(The crowd roars.)
Gina Romano: Here are the rules! In a few moments I will introduce all six participants in the match, the first four will be sealed inside the Chamber, the final two will start and wrestle for five minutes. Once the time is up one of the chambers will open they will then wrestle for five minutes and continue util all chambers are opened. The only way to be eliminated is by pinfall or submission. They can happen at anytime during the match. The last person remaining will be the Answers World Champion!
(As the crowd continues to cheer, as “M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena. The fans start to boo.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! He is the Answers World Champion! From Seattle, Washington! Weighing in at 221 lbs.! “THE QUINTESSENTIAL CHAMPION” … IMPACT!!!!!!!!
(The crowd continue to boo as Impact slowly walks out holding the Answers World Championship. He smirks before walking toward the ring, stopping at times, and looking at the crowd.)
Deadprez: Her comes the Answers World Champion and what a hell of a year he has had so far and looks to continue cementing his legacy! I don’t think he has to worry about Jake Smith in a cash in, they are still trying to unbury him from under the rubble thanks to Kassidy Heart!
Eve: Well, she did Impact a favor and now he can focus on the five men in the match here tonight which is going to be nothing short of spectacular!
Gavin Kirkland: He is entering the ring and Impact is right at home as Answers World Champion!
(Impact looks around and relinquishes the Answers World Championship before entering into the first chamber. The officials lock him in as his music fades, and it is replaced with “Bad Habit” by Steve Lacy as the crowd start to cheer.)
Gina Romano: The next competitor! He hails from Dallas, Texas! Weighing in at 202 lbs.! Accompanied to the ring by Londyn Zelaya! “THE CHOSEN ONE” JON KELTON!!!
(The crowd cheers as Kelton looks at Londyn, they hug, and he walks toward the Chamber as she heads to the back. He slaps hands with some of the fans before entering the chamber. Jon Kelton then walks up to Impact’s Chamber who looks on and smiles, Kelton motions the World Title around his waste before heading into his own Chamber.)
Deadprez: Jon Kelton has been on a different level, but every chance he has gotten to win some gold he’s come short, but there is something special about him that we all know this could be his night.
Eve: It really could, and this is the match to do so because in the Chamber anything can happen, there are so many variables.
Gavin Kirkland: The man to beat is Impact, and until he is eliminated it is his title to lose! But Jon is looking swole.
(As the referees lock in Jon Kelton inside the chamber, the music starts to fade and is replaced with ‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ by Mick Gordon. There is a mixed reaction though mostly boos.)
Gina Romano: The Next competitor…. He hails from Montreal, Quebec, Canada! Weighing in at 220 lbs.! He is “THE ARCHITECT” RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!!!!
(The fans continue to jeer him as Ryan Joseph Wilson walks out and he looks serious. Wasting no time getting into the Chamber. He walks by Impact and stares at him for a moment, then to Jon Kelton before he finally is led into the chamber without incident as they close him inside.)
Eve: Ryan Joseph Wilson is a very interesting choice because since teaming with Xander Payne we have seen a new version of Ryan. I see big things from him in this match.
Deadprez: Ryan Wilson is one of those that is ready for a breakout, and I think the union with Xander Payne has really helped him a lot with that.
Gavin Kirkland: It really has, and he is a threat in this match, one that people better not sleep on Ryan.
(As Ryan is locked into the Chamber, his music starts to fade and is replaced by “It Follows” by Cane Hill. The fans start to boo.)
Gina Romano: The next participant. He hails from Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 255 Lbs., “THE BEST IN THE WORLD” XANDER PAYNE!!!!!!!!
(The boos continue to ring out as Xander Payne slowly walks out intense, looking at the Chamber. He understands the relenting structure, a veteran of it as he gets to the ring. He slowly enters and walks by Ryan Joseph Wilson’s pod, then by Jon Kelton and stares him down for a moment until finally to Impact’s where he slams the Plexiglas a few times as the referee’s escort him to the last Chamber where he gets inside.)
Deadorez: He is the best in the world, he is Xander Payne, and his season so far has been nothing but extraordinary. Now it is time to put up or shut up inside the Chamber! The last to be locked in the pod!
Eve: He is dangerous in that Chamber, a real threat to the Answers World Championship, Impact knows it and the thoughts of Pain for Pride a few years ago are still fresh in his mind.
Gavin Kirkland: He may have girth, but he moves like a cat, a fat cat but nonetheless a cat.
(As they lock Xander Payne in the last chamber, his music fades and is replaced with “The Outsiders” by The Church. The crowd stands up and cheers at one of the two men that will start this match.)
Gina Romano: And now the first of the two starting participants! First from Stillwater, Oklahoma! Weighing in at 212 lbs.! He is the reigning National Elite Champions…. “THE OKLAHOMA GENTLEMAN” DONOVAN DUKE!!!
(The crowd erupts as Donovan Duke walks out with his title in hand. He high fives some of the Beijing crowd before he takes a deep breath and slowly steps into the chamber. Looking around at the four filled pod, Duke nods and starts with his warm-up exercises.)
Deadprez: A crowd favorite and definitely a man that has an uphill battle to climb here tonight. We already saw what the luck of the draw can mean in the Dynasty Chamber Match to open up Road to Redemption and now we are about to see it again.
Eve: This was all Kennedy Street, the new Showdown GM who is watching from her sky box and let me tell you, that both he and the next participant are going through hell thanks to her!
Gavin Kirkland: Close to breaking the National Elite Championship record, could he add another title to his already impressive resume!? We are about to find out!
(As Donovan Duke waits inside the ring, his music fades, “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd cheers.)
Gina Romano: The Final Entrant! He hails from New York City, New York! Weighing in at 231 lbs.! “THE NEXT LEVEL” ADAM LUCAS!!!
(He gets a warm reception from the Beijing crowd as Adam nods and makes his way into the Chamber. He stops and slaps hands with some of the fans before glaring at the structure, then entering it and walking around the ring at all the other four participants that are locked inside the Chamber, he stops at Impact who smirks. Adam then turns around and is face to face with Donovan Duke.)
Deadprez: This is it! Everyone is in and now the Answers World Championship Chamber 2022 is about to begin! Remember, the pods open at five minute intervals!
Eve: Two guys that defied the new General Manager and here they are starting out the chamber. Will they have enough! Guess we are all about to find out!
Gavin Kirkland: The referees are locking the chamber! Kennedy Street, our General Manager is watching from her sky box! Here we go!
(The referee checks both competitors. He then signals for the bell and the start of the match!)
(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
(Donovan Duke and Adam Lucas circle the ring before they both shake hands. The crowd loves the sportsmanship as both wrestlers circle again and tie up.)
Deadprez: There is a lot of respect between these two, they are friends, tag team partners and were put into this mess together. They had to face all four other members of the Chamber at the last Showdown and trust me, they have not forgotten. Both lock up and Adam has the size advantage, pushing Donovan Duke to the ropes. There is a clean break here as both men circle the ring again and lock up!
Eve: This time, Duke is able to drop a knee for more leverage, he is able to push Adam now to the ropes and both men again have a clean break. These two are playing it smart and I am sure that our new GM right now is not liking this one bit.
Gavin Kirkland: Now they circle the ring again, locking up, but Duke is able to get a side headlock, Adam tries to push him off, but cannot, he quickly though does, and Duke bounces off the ropes, shoulder block by Adam and Duke falls to the mat! Adam quickly adjusts and runs against the ropes, Duke drops to the mat, he jumps over, Duke is back up and he leap frogs Adam who is still running across the ring and dropkick by Duke! It caught Adam flush in the face!
(Adam Lucas gets up quickly and Duke is there with an arm drag into an arm bar, but Adam is back up on his feet.)
Deadprez: Adam is back up, Duke though holds the arm bar tight, Adam pushes him against the ropes causing him to release the arm bar, Irish whipping him, this time he goes for a clothesline, but Duke ducks and he bounces off the ropes, Adam bends down and Duke leap frogs, he comes back with a flying bodypress! NO! Adam catches him and powerslam to the mat for the first big move and hooks the leg for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!
Eve: Donovan kicks out after one, Adam is back up on his feet, Duke is up as well, Adam with a forearm and another, whipping him into the ropes again, but Duke reverses, Should block by Adam takes Duke down, he springs off the ropes, Duke though is back up, hopping over Adam, who springs back from the rope, Arm Drag! Adam back up and he lands in a hip toss! Adam is back up and Duke goes for another arm drag but Adam reverses, blocking it into his own hip toss!
Gavin Kirkland: He goes for the cover, but Duke is quickly out and small package by Donovan Duke!
ONE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam rolls and reverses it!
ONE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But no! Duke kicks out and Adam is back up, Sunset Flip by Duke and he has a pin!
ONE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam Lucas shifts his weight on top of Duke clamping down on the legs!
ONE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But Duke kicks out and both me kip up and stare at each other!
(The crowd stands and claps at the wrestling being shown inside the Chamber right now between two friends and respect each other. They slap hands again. Kennedy Street can be seen watching from the Sky Box and she is not amused.)
Gavin Kirkland: These two are putting on a clinic right now and I see that our General Manager is not very happy at the moment.
Eve: She really isn’t but Duke and Adam are wrestling, they are playing it smart, knowing that in just two minutes and some change that the first pod is going to open and that will change the dynamic of this match! The two circle the ring again, they lock up… no! Adam with a knee to the gut! And another! Adam whips Duke into the ropes, though Donovan reverses it, he lowers down for a back body drop but no! Adam hooks Duke and hits a quick snap suplex! Donovan hit hard, slowly getting back up and Adam Lucas with a headlock take over!
(Adam tightens the grip of the headlock as she holds it close, Donovan Duke though tries to turn it around and turn him into a pinning predicament.)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Adam is able to push himself back up and is holding the headlock tight. It is definitely a wear down hold, and he has it locked in, but Donovan Duke is feisty, getting to his knees for leverage, as he tries once again to pin Adam!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Only a one count! Adam still was able to turn it over and still has it locked in, but Donovan Duke again is up to his knees, forcing Adam to get up as well…. Elbow to Adam’s midsection! And Another! And a third causing Adam to break the hold! Adam falls back some and Duke runs against the ropes, head scissors and Adam falls to the mats!
Eve: Donovan Duke is trying to stay one step ahead of Adam Lucas, as he runs against the ropes, a great corkscrew elbow on Adam and he goes for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Adam and Duke seem to be quickly kicking out, they don’t want to waste any time whatsoever here! Adam is back up and Donovan whips him into the turnbuckle, he runs and hits a Clothesline on Adam! He follows it with a Bulldog…. No! Adam pushes him off and Duke turns…. High Knee by Lucas hitting Duke flush in the chest! He may have knocked the wind out of him with that move! Adam picks up Duke, he sets him up for another suplex, but Duke holds on with his leg wrapped around Adam’s! He tries to reverse it, but Adam too blocks the attempt and wait a second….. the count down clock is starting, we are about to get the first pod to open!

(The lights start to flicker around the pods, waiting for one to land on it, suddenly it does as the buzzer sounds. The pod opens….)
Deadprez: IT’S THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… IMPACT! HIS POD HAS OPENED AND HE HAS JOINED THE FRAKKAS! HE DIDN’T GET THE LUCK OF THE DRAW BUT IF ANYONE CAN SURVIVE THIS CHAMBER IT IS THIS MAN WHO HAS HAD A CAREER YEAR AND A RESURGENCE!
(Impact gets out of his pod when suddenly Adam and Donovan stop what they are doing, they look at each other and nod.)
Eve: Wait a second…… wait a second! THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE FIRST POD TO OPEN! ADAM LUCAS AND DONOVAN DUKE HAVE BEEN PLAYING POSSUM THE WHOLE TIME! THEY ARE GOING AFTER IMPACT! HE SEES WHAT IS HAPPENING! DUKE AND ADAM ARE MUGGING IMPACT! THEY WERE BIDING THEIR TIME AS IMPACT IS TAKING BLOW BY BLOW BY ADAM AND DONOVAN!
(Adam and Donovan started to pummel Impact the second he stepped out of the chamber and entered the ring. Impact is taking left and right as Donovan Duke whips Impact into the turnbuckle.)
Gavin Kirkland: How is this fair!? But I guess it is everyone for themselves and Kennedy Street is probably furious at this right now!
(The camera shows Kennedy sat up in her seat with Heidi Huxley and now joined by the winner of the Scramble match and number one contender to the National Elite Championship, Veen Adams. She doesn’t look happy and rather annoyed.)
Gavin Kirkland: Duke whips Impact into the turnbuckle, he then grabs Adam and whips him into Impact with such force with a huge clothesline! Impact stumbles out of the corner and he whips him into Duke… BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Impact is in a lot of trouble and if this continues we could be guaranteed to have a new Answers World Champion!
Eve: Impact doesn’t know what hit him as Duke picks up Impact and delivers a few stiff forearms, over and over before whipping him again into Adam Lucas who DELIVERS A BIG BOOT! ADAM AND DUKE JUMP ON IMPACT FOR THE PIN!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: KICK OUT BY IMPACT! THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO HOLD THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION DOWN! Donovan Duke and Adam Lucas are working well together but there is still over three minutes left before the next chamber opens! Adam picks up Impact, he holds him for Donovan Duke who sprints against the ropes, but NO! Impact is able to get out of the way and Duke strikes Adam with a clothesline!
(Duke is shocked that he took Adam down, he turns….)
Eve: IMPACT HITS TURNING THE TIDES ON DUKE! DONOVAN TRIPS AND FALLS INTO THE ROPES AND FALLS BACK INTO THE ARMS OF IMPACT WHO HITS A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! DUKE IS FOLDED LIKE AN ACCORDIAN! Impact is back on his feet; Adam is back up as he charges into Impact…. He stops him with an elbow! Adam stumbles back and the Answers World Champion connects with a Belly to Belly suplex!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam is down too and now Impact is laying the boots into him! Over and over! Kicking him down as Adam tries to get up but Impact now is laying the knees into the abdomen section! Donovan Duke is slowly getting back on his feet, but Impact sees it and charges Duke with a forearm as he falls back into the ropes, Impact backs up and clotheslines Duke over the ropes and on to the steel floor!
(Duke rolls in pain as his back hits the steel, Impact takes a second to catch his breath as Adam gets back up and Impact charges him….)
Deadprez: Adam Lucas this time caught Impact with a stiff right from a Discus Punch and that stifles Impact! Adam Lucas hits a Spinebuster and that was textbook! Impact is down and Adam Lucas drops on Impact for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Impact is able to kick out, but Adam Lucas knows that the time is running out! He scoops up Impact back to his feet and throws him over the top rope! Impact lands hard on the steel and Adam Lucas waits…. He waits…. And as Impact gets up…. Adam runs against the ropes, and he flies over the top rope ON TO IMPACT CRUSHING HIM INTO THE STEEL WALLS OF THE CHAMBER!
(The crowd roars as the bodies crash against the steel walls of the Chamber. There is loud clapping by the Beijing crowd.)
Eve: ADAM LUCAS DID A HIGH RISK MOVE AND IT PAID OFF! BOTH ARE DONE BUT DONOVAN DUKE IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK UP! THERE ISN’T A LOT OF TIME LEFT FOR THE NEXT POD TO OPEN! DUKE SEES BOTH MEN DOWN AS HE GETS UP AND WALKS OVER TO ADAM AND IMPACT, HELPING UP ADAM!
Gavin Kirkland: It looks like both are working together here! They want to survive together inside this Chamber after everything that Kennedy Street has put them through and it makes sense, but in this chamber you cannot trust anyone! Duke and Adam pick up Impact, they have him up and Duke is climbing the top rope, Adam executes a backbreaker and holds Impact…. As DONOVAN DUKE COMES CRASHING DOWN WITH A LEG DROP! IMPACT FLIPS OVER IN PAIN!
Deadprez: It is smart what they are doing but at some point, when will they turn on each other? Impact is down right now, and Adam Lucas is picking up the World Champion, whipping him into the chamber that has Jon Kelton in it as he backs up! Impact crumbles to the steel floor as Adam Lucas wastes no time picking up Impact again, pointing at Duke who waits, and he throws Impact against….. OVER HEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!!! IMPACT HAS TAKEN SO MUCH ABUSE AND DUKE NOW DRAGS HIM INTO THE RING, HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Impact kicks out! Impact cannot hold on much more! We know that the timer is running down, and the next person will be entering the ring in a few seconds! Adam Lucas and Donovan Duke though are not done, they are trying to rid of Impact and here is the timer!

HE THEN GRABS DONOVAN DUKE….. SLAMMING HIM FACE FIRST INTO ONE OF THE EMPTY PODS! DUKE SLOWLY FALLS TO THE MAT WITH HIS FACE CAKED INTO THE PLEXIGLAS!
Deadprez: Now he has Adam Lucas, dragging him out of the ring, lifting him up over his shoulders and running… HEADFIRST INTO THE CHAINS OF THE CHAMBER! ADAM FALLS TO THE STEEL FLOOR! IMPACT PICKS UP ADAM AND STARTS RIPPING HIS HEAD INTO THE CHAMBER AND WE HAVE COLOR!
(Adam starts to bleed. The crowd starts to boo, some cheer as Adam is sitting against the steel chamber wall. Impact starts to kick him while he is down, noticing that the next participant will join the fray soon. Impact drives his boot into the neck of Adam.)
Eve: There are no disqualifications here! Impact is choking Adam out by pressing his boot on the neck of Adam Lucas! There is nothing that Adam can do right now as Duke and Ryan are both down, but it looks like Ryan is back to his feet, he walks over to Donovan Duke….
Gavin Kirkland: … but no! Donovan Duke is back up throwing some fists at the midsection of Ryan Wilson, but Wilson batters Duke down! He starts kicking him down and now Ryan Wilson slams Duke’s head into the Plexiglas! Over and over into the empty chamber, but Ryan Wilson is opening the Chamber! He puts Duke’s head between the door and….

Eve: RYAN WILSON IS SLAMMING THE CHAMBER DOOR INTO THE HEAD AND NECK OF DONOVAN DUKE! HE IS TRYING TO BEHEAD HIM WITH THAT PLEXIGLAS AND SHOWING ABSOLUTELY NO MERCY! RYAN WILSON SCREAMS AS THE CROWD GIVES HIM A MIXED REACTION BUT THE TIMER IS TICKING DOWN FOR THE NEXT ENTRANT INTO THE CHAMBER BUT RIGHT NOW ADAM LUCAS AND DONOVAN DUKE ARE IN NO CONDITION TO CONTINUE!
(Ryan Wilson places his knee on the fallen Duke and adds pressure to the neck and face. The National Elite Champion is barely conscious as Ryan continues the onslaught. Outside the ring, Adam is pancaked in the steel wall of the chamber. Impact has his foot still on the neck of Adam as the countdown clock begins.)

He slowly gets up and walks over as Ryan Wilson is also getting back to his feet. Xander Payne is pacing, the last person to come out of the chamber. He is getting antsy, slapping the Plexiglas over and over waiting for the clock to count down so that he can get out.)
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson is back to his feet, and I don’t think he sees Donovan Duke! He turns right into THE DEALER’S CHOICE!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! (In Chinese)
(Everyone is laid out in the ring, but Adam Lucas seems to be the one that is getting up along with Ryan Joseph Wilson, as he turns, and Adam is holding on to the ropes in the corner. Ryan Wilson runs around the ring Adam is back up…)
Eve: HELLUVA KICK! ADAM LUCAS GOES DOWN INTO THE CORNER AS RYAN WILSON POINT AND STARTS TO RUN AROUND ONE MORE TIME, AS HE …..
Deadprez: NO! DONOVAN DUKE CUTS HIM OFF WITH A SUPERKICK AND RYAN WILSON FALLS BACK AND RIGHT INTO SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY! DONOVAN DUKE WITH THAT VICIOUS LARIAT INTO A BACKBREAKER.

Gavin Kirkland: It was incredible watching Limommy earlier tonight, but this now is pure carnage and now they are focusing on Jon Kelton! Kelton is slow getting up and here comes Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson, they have him up! Xander points to the ropes and he picks up Jon Kelton too!

Xander Payne: (Off Mic) We take him out then clear the field!
Ryan Wilson: (Off Mic) Let’s do this!
(Ryan and Xander now target Impact who is slow to get up as well when the powerbomb earlier did him in. He slowly stirs and starts to get up, but Xander Payne always has a hold of him, throwing Impact to Ryan Wilson who hoists him up, but Xander Payne runs against the ropes….)
Deadprez: IMPACT RAKES THE EYES OF RYAN WILSON AND HE DROPS THE WORLD CHAMPION! RYAN WILSON IS BLINDED AND XANDER PAIN IS BARRELING IN, TURNING THE TIDES, HE CAUGHT XANDER WITH THE FRANKENSTEINER AND THAT CAUSED HIM TO CRASH INTO THE ROPES! RYAN RUNS AT IMPACT….. THE ABSOLUTION!

Deadprez: It is the first elimination! Donovan Duke is gone thanks to an Atonement by none other than Jon Kelton and we are down to five! Jon Kelton can barely get up; he sees Ryan Wilson on the mat, and he goes to pick him up, but he forgot about Adam Lucas!
(Jon Kelton turns around and Adam kicks him in the midsection…..)
Eve: Adam is about to pick up Jon Kelton, NO! Jon Kelton slides off his back! Adam turns and Kelton with a huge forearm! He runs against the ropes…. FINAL ATONEMENT ON ADAM LUCAS!
Deadprez: NO! ADAM LUCAS LEAP FROGS JON KELTON WHO BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES……
Gavin Kirkland: LEVEL UP ON THE PLEXIGLAS! ADAM LUCAS HIT THE POP UP POWERBOMB ON JON KELTON AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: JON KELTON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Deadprez: JON KELTON IS GONE! HE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED SHORTLY AFTER TAKING DONOVAN DUKE OUT! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MOVE BY ADAM LUCAS AND HE JUST TOOK OUT JON KELTON! ADAM LUCAS IS ON HIS KNEES WIPING THE BLOOD OUT OF HIS LONG HAIR AS THE OFFICIALS HELP KELTON OUT OF THE CHAMBER.
(As the officials get Duke and Kelton out of the chamber. Xander Payne is back up and he attacks Adam Lucas while he is on his knees.)
Eve: Xander wasting no time as two have been eliminated! He gets Ryan Wilson back up as both men have made a pact, they start kicking Adam down repeatedly! They grab the piece of Plexiglas and wedge it into his neck! Xander lifts it up and down bashing it into Adam’s chest! THIS IS GETTING REALLY BRUTAL NOW! RYAN WILSON HAS IMPACT NOW UP, WHIPPING HIM INTO THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Wilson charges in and IMPACT WITH A STIFF BOOT! HE THROWS WILSON INTO THE CHAMBER AND GETS INSIDE WITH HIM! BOTH MEN ARE IN THE POD AND IMPACT LIFTS RYAN UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION… BUT WAIT…. HE STARTS SMASHING THE TOP OF WILSON’S HEAD INTO THE TOP OFF THE POD! HE IS TRYING TO BASH HIS BRAINS IN, RYAN WILSON IS LUCKY HE HAS THAT MOP FOR HAIR TO SOFTEN THE BLOW!
Deadprez: RYAN WILSON IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE AND IMPACT SLAMS HIM INTO THE PLEXIGLAS! WAIT! LOOK AT IMPACT, HE IS TAKING THE CHAIN THEY USE TO LOCK THE POD FROM THE OUTSIDE AND HE IS BRINGING IT INTO THE CHAMBER!
(Impact wraps the steel chain around the neck of Wilson and starts choking him out. All the while Xander doesn’t see while he forces the Plexiglas into the throat of Adam Lucas. He then sees what is happening and throws the piece down and starts to make his way into the pod.)
Eve: Xander Payne is making his way into the pod where Impact is choking out Ryan with the Chain! He grabs Impact and rakes his eyes causing him to drop the chain! Xander grabs impact … slamming him into the pod! Over and over! He backs up and HEATWAVE! THE CANNONBALL CRUSHING IMPACT AGAINST THE PLEXIGLAS! XANDER PAYNE DRAGS WILSON OUT OF THERE AND POINTS AT ADAM LUCAS, THEY WANT TO TAKE HIM OUT!
(Xander gets Ryan back in it as he kicks Impact a few times, leaving him crushed in the pod. Kennedy Street continues to look on this time looking a little more worried that she is up to her feet.)
Deadprez: Xander and Ryan are targeting Adam Lucas, that has been the story here, Xander and Ryan have been working together the whole time, they have a plan and plant to keep it until they are the final two! Adam is back up and Xander drops a few forearms, he then holds him from behind as Ryan Wilson tees off on him with some stiff rights and lefts. Adam is barely able to stand right now!
(Adam is spaghetti legged. He can barely hang on as Ryan Wilson backs up some and hits a deadly strike to the face causing Adam’s knees to buckle.)
Deadprez: Xander picks up Adam Lucas and drops him with a high angle back drop! Wow that was intense and now he looks to finish this off, telling Ryan to go to the top rope. Ryan is climbing and he gets to the top. WHISPER IN THE WIND BY WILSON AND….. IT CONNECTS! NOW XANDER PAYN IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE, HE CLIMBS ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP AND IS UP THERE! MOONSAULT BY XANDER PAYNE AND HE JUST TOOK OUT ADAM LUCAS!
(Ryan Wilson and Xander Payne high five each other as Xander turns around and grabs Adam…..)
Eve: Xander about to grab Adam and finish him off, RYAN WILSON ROLLS UP XANDER PAYN FROM BEHIND WITH A SCHOOL BOY!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: XANDER PAYNE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!
Deadprez: WHAT!?!!?!? RYAN WILSON CAME FROM BEHIND ON XANDER PAYNE AND ROLLED HIM UP! HE CAUGHT HIM NAPPING AND JUST ELIMNATED HIS OWN TAG TEAM PARTNER AND LOOK AT RYAN! HE IS SMILING AND SHRUGGING HIS SHOULDERS AT THE SHOCKED XANDER PAYNE!
Ryan Wilson: (Off Mic) Hey! You taught me! You showed me this okay! You would have done the same thing!
Eve: Xander Payne is still in shock! He can’t believe that Ryan Wilson caught him from behind like that and did him in! Xander though shakes his head, he stands up….. and he is shaking Ryan Wilson’s hand! A show of respect……
Deadprez: THE LAST SEDATION ON RYAN WILSON! TALK ABOUT TOUGH LOVE AND HE JUST LAID HIM OUT! XANDER PAYNE IS PISSED AND HE WALKS OUT OF THE CHAMBER! THE CARNAGE THAT IS LEFT IN THE RING, THERE ISN’T ANYONE MOVING RIGHT NOW AND IT LOOKS LIKE ALL THREE MEN ARE DOWN!
(All three are down as Adam slowly starts to stir, he then flips over and lays one arm on Ryan Wilson as the referee drops for the cover.)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: NO! RYAN WILSON WAS ABLE TO GET HIS SHOULDER UP! HE IS STILL IN THIS AS ADAM LUCAS IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK UP! IMPACT TOO SEEMS TO BE STIRRING AS ADAM RISES TO HIS FEETR, PICKING UP RYAN BY THE HAIR, HE HITS A FORARM! AND ANOTHER! ANND ANOTHER STAGGERING WILSON BUT HE DOESN’T FALL, ADAM GOES AGAINST THE ROPES, NO WISON DUCKS, ADAM COMES BACK AND LA BOMBE BLEU!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM GOES DOWN HARD AND HE HAS HIM FOR THE COVER!

Gavin Kirkland: ADAM IS ABLE TO KICK OUT! RYAN WILSON SLAMS THE MATS AND IS BACK UP, HE GOES TO PICK UP ADAM AGAIN BUT THIS TIME ADAM FOREARMS WILSON! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! HE STAGGERS BACK AND…. NO WILSON A THUMB TO THE EYE OF ADAM! HE HOPS OFF THE ROPES…. SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.0! ADAM IS WOBBLY TO HIS FEET AND RYAN HOISTS HIM UP….. NO! ADAM FALLS BEHIND RYAN, HE TURNS…..
Eve: THE NEXT LEVEL! NO! RYAN BLOCKS IT! HE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES, KICK TO ADAM, BUT HE TURNS RIGHT INTO THE FIST OF FURY! RYAN IS ABOUT TO FALL BUT WALKS RIGHT INTO THE NEXT LEVEL AND HE GOES DOWN WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT! ADAM COVERS!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: RYAN WILSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!
Deadprez: RYAN WILSON IS GONE! THERE AR EONLY TWO MEN LEFT AND THE OFFICIALS ARE HELPING HIM OUT OF THE RING. ADAM LUCAS AND IMPACT ARE STARING EACH OTHER FACE TO FACE, BLEEDING, BEATEN AND BRUISED. THE CROWD STANDS UP AND CHEERS LOUDLY.
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! (In Chinese)
Eve: WE HAVE THE FINAL TWO AND THIS CHAMBER HAS BEEN BRUTAL FROM THE START! WE HAVE ADAM LUCAS AND IMPACT LEFT! WHAT DO THEY HAVE LEFT IN THE TANK IS MY QUESTION!? ADAM AND IMPACT STARE AT EACH OTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING. THEY START TO JAW JACK SOME!
(Kennedy Street is pacing in the sky box, she quickly throws her champagne glass down and heads out.)
Eve: THEY HAVE BEEN GOING AT IT ALL WEEK ON PROMO TELEVISION AND ADAM WANTS THIS, HE CAN TASTE IT! HE WANTS TO BE THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AND THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY HE CAN DO IT! THAT IS TO BEAT THE ONE MAN THAT HAS GIVEN HIM PROBLEMS, THE ONE GUY THAT IS HIS WATERLOO!
Gavin Kirkland: TWO MEATY BEEFY PORTERHOUSE STEAKS RIGHT HERE AND WE ARE ABOUT TO GO TO WAR!
(Adam and Impact say a few things to each other as they finally got Ryan Wilson out of the Chamber. The chamber closes and both Adam and Impact start to wailing on each other.)
Deadprez: And here we go! Both men are punching each other! They are going back and forth! Adam Lucas and Impact! Who will be the one to survive at the end! Impact with a headbutt! That stunned Adam Lucas! He staggers and Impact goes FOR THE FIST OF FURY, NO! ADAM LUCAS DUCKS AND HE LIFTS UP IMPACT FOR THE NEXT LEVEL…. NO! IMPACY IS ABLE TO BREAK FREE AND…..
Eve: IMPACT KICKS ADAM LUCAS IN THE GROIN! HE KICKED HIM THE JEWELS AND ADAM BUCKLES OVER! IMPACT GRABS THE LEGS AND HE TRIES TO TURN HIM… HE TRIES TO TURN ADAM…. HE TRIES AND…. HE HAS ADAM OVER ON THE WALLS OF IMPACT! IMPACT HAS THE WALLS AND ALL HE NEEDS TO DO IS PLACE THE KNEE ON THE NECK AND THIS IS OVER!
(Adam is trying to fight it hard as he can, but he is hurt, tired and bleeding, doing whatever he can to reach the leg, but the knee of Impact slowly comes down on the back of his head….)
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS OVER! IMPACT HAS THE WALLS AND ADAM LUCAS HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP OUT OR PASS OUT! HE…… HE……..
Eve; LOOK AT THE STRENGTH OF ADAM LUCAS! LOOK AT WHAT HE IS DOING! HE HAS HIS HANDS FLAT ON THE MAT! LOOK AT THE STRENGTH! HE IS PUSHIN UP! HE IS GETTING UP AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT IMPACT CAN DO TO KEEP HIM DOWN…. HE….. HE….
Gavin Kirkland: HE CAUSED THE BREAK! IMPACT FELL FORWARD AND BROKE THE HOLD! IMPACT CANNOT BELIEVE IT AND HE IS RIGHT BACK UP, LIFTS ADAM LUCAS UP, FIST OF FURY, NO! ADAM DUCKS AND….. FIST OF FURY ON THE COME AROUND AND HE HIT ADAM FLUSH ON THE FACE! HE COLLAPSES AND WE HAVE A WINNER HERE! IMPACT WITH THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
……
…….
Deadprez: HOW!?!?! ADAM LUCAS WITH A SHOIULDER UP AND IMPACT CANNOT BELIEVE IT! HE IS ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE BUT IT WAS ONLY A TWO COUNT! THE REFEREE IS HOLDING UP TWO FINGERS AND IMPACT IS LOSING HIS MIND! IMPACT IS LOSING HIS MIND! IMPACT SLAMS THE MATS AND HE GRABS ADAM LUCAS, RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES…. EVISCERATION!
Eve: NO! ADAM BLOCKED IT AND LIFTED IMPACT UP FOR THE NEXT LEVEL! HE HIT THE NEXT LEVEL AND THE CROWD IS GOING WILD! ADAM FALLS ON IMPACT FOR THE COVER! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…….
……..
Eve: NOOOOOOO! IMPACT NOW HAS A SHOULDER UP AND ADAM CAN’T BELIEVE IT. HE LOOKS UP THOUGH, TO THE TOP OF THE POD….. WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING!?!
(Adam drags up Impact and places him on his shoulders. He then climbs up the ropes with Impact and then to the top of the pod….)
Gavin Kirkland: OH, SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE! SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE HERE! ADAM LUCAS HAS IMPACT ON HIS SHOULDERS BUT IMPACT ELBOWS ADAM REPEATEDLY! ADAM DROPS HIM! THEY BOTH NOW ARE FISTICUFFS ON TOP OF THE CHAMBER!
Deadprez: THEY ARE IN A DANGEROUS POSITION AND LOOK AT IMPACT! HE KICKS ADAM AND IS NOW CLIMBING THE CHAMBER!?!?!?!? WHAT THE HELL IS IMPACT DOING! HE IS CLIMBING THE CHAMBER AND LOOK AT ADAM LUCAS! HE IS CLIMBING AFTER IMPACT! I CANNOT BELIEVE THESE TWO ARE SCALING THE CHAMBER! THEY ARE GOIN UP THE STEEL WALL AND ARE ACTUALLY HANGING ON BY THE CHAINS!
(Their feet dangle as both Impact and Adam Lucas are almost in the center of the of the chamber! The crowd is screaming in excitement and fear as both men are trying to kick each other!)
Eve: I cannot watch! Both are hanging by their arms trying to kick one another off! I can’t…. this is not going to end good at all!
Gavin Kirkland: Not it isn’t! Adam Lucas …… HE JUST WRAPPED HIS LEGS AROUND IMPACT! HE IS CLINGING ON TO IMPACT WHO CAN BARELY HANG ON!
Adam Lucas: (Off mic) If I fall? I’m taking you to hell with me!
Impact: (Off mic) Stupid idiot!
Deadprez: DID YOU HEAR THAT!? DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY SAID! ADAM IS TRYING TO PULL IMPACT DOWN…… HE CAN’T HANG ON….. HE CAN’T….. HE……
Eve: IMPACT AND ADAM LUCAS FALL FROM THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER!
CRASH!!!!!!!!
Eve: THEY JUST CRASHED AND BURNED ON THE MAT AND BOTH MEN ARE LAID OUT! CAN THEY CONTINUE! BOTH FELL HARD ON THEIR BACKS AND ARE NOT MOVING! THEY…..
(The crowd starts to boo as the referee doesn’t know what to do. Suddenly Kennedy Street comes storming out, she takes off her 3000k Louboutin heels and throws them in the air as she screams at the referee to open the chamber.)
Eve: WHAT THE HELL IS THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHOWDOWN DOING HERE!? SHE IS BEING LET INTO THE CHAMBER AND KENNEDY IS WALKING RIGHT OVER THE FALLEN ADAM LUCAS AND IMPACT. KENNEDY GRABS IMPACTS ARM AND DRAPES IT OVER ADAM!
Kennedy Street: (Off Mic) COUNT!!!! COUNT NOW!!!!
(The referee looks perplexed but drops to the mat and begrudgingly counts….)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…….
…….
(DING!!! DING!!!! DING!!!)
(The crowd rains out in boos as “M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena.)
Gina Romano: ADAM LUCAS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED! THE WINNER AND STILL ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION……. IMPACT!!!!
(Impact is still laid out on the floor but Kennedy doesn’t say anything and storms out of the Chamber, she grabs the title and hands it to the referee who still looks confused. Both men are not moving as Impact’s arm is raised.)
Eve: THIS WAS HIGHWAY ROBBERY! WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED BUT THE MINUTE KENNEDY SAW THAT ADAM LUCAS WAS ABOUT TO WIN, SHE MADE SURE THAT THERE WAS A CLEAR CUT WINNER AND I WANT TO HEAR WHAT HER EXCUSE WAS FOR THIS ONE!
Deadprez: I don’t understand this! I really thought that anyone could have won this match! We don’t know what could have happened as the EMT’s are not out for both to check on them, but Impact and Adam Lucas are moving so that is a good sign!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact survived the chamber like he said he would, and Adam was so close! But give it to all the participants in the Chamber match. They all came out, but this night goes to Impact and on to 2023 as the Answers World Champion! He…..
(Suddenly “WAR” by Grandson starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd explodes in cheers.)
Eve: WAIT…… WHAT!?!?! JAKE SMITH! I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD!!!!
Deadprez: THIS CAN’T BE! HE WAS STRETCHERED OUT EARLIER! This cannot be happening!
(Jake walks out barely able to walk, he is wrapped up in bandages, still bleeding, barely able to walk or even breathe carrying the Cash in the Vault briefcase.)
Crowd: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES JJAKE SMITH AND HE HAS THE BREIFCASE IN HAND A,,,,,,
Eve: KASSIDY HEART FROM BEHIND JUST ATTACKED JAKE SMITH! JAKE GOES DOWN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS AND KASSIDY SI STOMPING A MUDHOLE IN HIS ASS! JAKE CAN’T EVEN DEFEND HIMSELF AS KASSIDY IS NOW CHOCKING AND CLAWING HIM WITH HER BAREHANDS! SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO STOP JAKE SMITH!
Deadprez: SHE JUST DID STOP HIM! KASSIDY IS ALL OVER JAKE AND I DON’T THINK WE ARE GETTING A CASH IN AND…..
(Suddenly “Throne” by Saint Mesa starts to play throughout the arena and the crowd stands up screaming….)
Deadprez: WAIT….. WAIT……. IT IS MS. EXTREME! MS. EXTREME IS BACK!
(Ms. Extreme comes running out as Kassidy turns around….. )
Eve: MS. EXTREME TACKLES KASSIDY HEART DOWN! SHE HAS KASSIDY HEART AND THE TWO WOMEN START TO BRAWL ALL OVER THE STAGE! LOOK AT JAKE! HE IS CRAWLING! HE IS CRAWLING TO THE DAMN RING!
Deadprez: KASSIDY AND MS. EXTREME ARE FIGHTING NOW ON THE STAGE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THE BACK O FTHE CROWD! JAKE SMITH IS CRAWLING TO THE RING AND LOOK AT KENNEDY STREET JUST WATCHING! JAKE GETS UP ON THE STAIRS, HE HAS THE BRIEFCASE IN HAND! IMPACT AND ADAM LUCAS ARE STILL BEING TENDED TO!
(Jake Smith slowly gets to his feet, he can barely stand, covered in bandages and blood. He looks at the referee and turns in the briefcase….)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT JAKE SMITH HAS CASHED IN THE CASH IN THE VAULT BRIEFCASE!
Deadprez: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME DAWG!
(DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!!0
Eve: IT IS OFFICAL AND JAKE SMITH HAS CASHED IN HIS BRIEFCASE! HE PUSHES THE EMT’S ASIDE AND PICKS UP IMPACT! ADAM LUCAS IS BEING HELPED OUT OF THE RING AS JAKE SMITH GRABS IMPACT AND…….
Gavin Kirkland: THE WALLS OF IMPACT! JAKE SMITH CAN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT! IMPACT JUST FEEL LIKE 20 FEET AND HE LOCKS IN THE WALLS OF IMPACT! HE HAS JAKE ALMOST TURNED OVER! JAKE CAN’T FIGHT IT! MS. EXTREME AND KASSIDY HEART ARE FIGHTING IN THE CROWD AND JAKE IS ABOUT TO GET TURNED OVER!
(Jake trying to fight it as best he can, but he is hurt and Impact tries to turn him over, the referee is watching as Impact finally has Jake almost over and…..)
Eve: NO! JAKE WAS ABLE TO TWIST AWAY! IMPACT FALLS FORWARD! JAKE GETS UP WITH WHAT LITTLE BIT OF STRENGTH HE HAS LEFT….. IMPACT SLOWLY IS UP AND……..
Deadprez: STARMAKER!!!! JAKE SMITH HIT THE STARMAKER ON IMPACT AND HE JUST FALLS FORWARD ON TOP OF HIM! COULD THIS BE IT!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
(“WAR” by Grandson starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd rises to their feet seeing the second World Title change hands tonight!)
Deadprez: JAKE SMITH DID IT!!!! JAKE SMITH DID!!!! OMG JAKE SMITH DID IT!!!!! HE HAS FINALLY BECOME THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: HE DID IT! JAKE SMITH IS THE WORLD CHAMPION!
Eve: ABSOLUTELY AMAXZING! WHAT GUTS AND COURAGE IT TOOK! HE DEFEATED A MAN THAT WAS ALMOST UNBEATABLE!
(Jake Smith rolls over with tears in his eyes as the Referee gives him the Answers World Championship. Holly Arrow comes running out and rushes Jake while he is on the mat in an emotional moment. Adam looks on leaning on the ropes not knowing what happened, but he nods at Jake who has finally become a World Champion)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…. THE WIINNER OF THE MATCH….. AND THE NEWWWWWWW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!!!! JAKE SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd goes insane as Holly helps Jake up. Impact is leaning against the bottom rope coughing up blood and watching with narrowing eyes, barely able to move. Jake is held up by Holly as the fireworks go off and the streamers ascend from the rafters. Kennedy Street looks on without any show of emotion as jake has his arms held high by the referee and Holly.)
Eve: Jake Smith is the NEW Answers World Champion and Ms. Extreme is back! She is back and we will hear more form her tomorrow night! Her and Kassidy are still fighting somewhere but the night belongs to Jake Smith!
Gavin Kirkland: AGAINST ALL ODDS, JAKE DID IT! HE IS OUR NEW WORLD CHAMPION AND DIDN’T SCREW IT UP!
(Jake gets up on the second rope, barely able to hold the title up, but he eventually does as the crowd continues to cheer loudly. The Chamber begins to rise, and Jake looks on with tears of pain and joy in his eyes.)
Deadprez: What an incredible night we had for you tonight! It had everything we needed! Tomorrow night will be just as exciting! We have a new Answers World Champion in Jake Smith! Adam Lucas was so close, but we haven’t seen the last of him and Impact in the Championship scene! For Eve and Gavin Kirkland! And for all the great announcers here tonight! From Beijing China, thank you for joining us for Road to Redemption Night One! We will see you tomorrow! Good night everybody!
(The final shot is of Jake Smith holding the title in his arms before he looks at it and kisses the faceplate. The confetti and streamers still coming down as Jake Smith has finally done it and become immortal!)
( The camera fades to the ring where we see Kennedy Street and her personal Bodyguard AJAX. In the middle of the ring, a table can be seen with a contract sitting atop it. On both sides of the table, there are two sets of chairs. )
( The crowd begins to boo immediately as ‘ Master of Puppets’ by Metallica begins to play as Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel make their way from the back and down to the ring, where they both greet Kennedy before taking a seat. )
( ‘Master of Puppets’ fades out and is replaced by ‘In My Bones’ by The Score as the crowd begins to cheer as Raven Roberts and Madison Kaline make their way from the back and down to the ring where they completely ignore Kennedy not taking their eyes off British Invasion.Their theme music fades out as AJAX stands tall right next to Kennedy Street. Kennedy now holds a microphone in her hand as she begins welcoming everybody to the contract signing. )
Kennedy Street: Welcome to the contract signing, everybody! Tonight is a very exciting night for all of us. Here, we have two teams facing off: Raven Roberts and Madison Kaline – their names carry their own weight. These two have been crucial pillars of the women’s division. Without them, the women’s division might not have seen the light of day until now. They are undisputed legends, and seeing Raven Roberts back in business once more brings me so much delight to stand here! And there’s Devolution! Oh, honey, let me tell you, everybody is buzzing about Devolution! Right now, they’re the absolute fire in the tag team scene! Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel – I’m head over heels for these two girls! They’re like wildcats-
Madison Kaline: Enough with the praise singing; I’ve had enough of hearing your stupid voice too, Kennedy. Please shut up and do me a favor by acting like this is an AA meeting.
Kennedy Street: :comeagain:
Madison Kaline: Let’s get straight to the point. When these two spineless weasels, as I dubbed them not too far back, throwing down against two of the EAW’s finest ladies – it’s a total dead end for them. Trust me, everyone always sleeps on me. Everybody tends to forget who I truly am until I reminded them. Everyone thinks they can fuck with the Mistress of Death until they step into the ring. That’s what’s going to happen with Devolution. Now, they’re facing double trouble because Raven Roberts, someone who helped create and build this division alongside me and others who sacrificed their lives for this industry, has finally come back and joined me. Devolution is what you both call yourselves, but all I see right now is the destruction of a tag team.
Pandora Paisley: Blab, blab, blab – that’s all you do, you bloody muppet. Hearing someone like Madison Kaline can’t keep our names out of their gobs just annoys me and makes me feel proper queasy. Give me a break. You still think you’re so special, then you look back at us, look at Devolution. Like Kennedy said, we’re the dog’s bollocks, and anyone who reckons they can muck about with us always ends up bollocking it up. Mates, hit the road. The past is history; this is the present, and all it signifies is the future. We’re the present. We’re the future. We’re what Showdown always needs.
Raven Roberts: Stop lying to yourself. The problem with you, Pandora, and Halsey is that you guys are still miles away from making yourselves special for this brand, for this division, and anything else that we both have created with our bare hands. Madison and I shaped and crafted this brand to be a place where both of you can live. Admit it, without us, there’s no Devolution. We have been the cornerstones of this division. We’ve been the linchpins of this division. When I glance at Devolution, all I see is a bunch needing a schooling, a real eye-opener, because right now, you two are so chicken shits.
Halsey Neel: For someone who hasn’t been here for so long but has so much opportunity to talk, it just flabbergasts the hell out of me. The British Invasion is going to destroy both of you and send you both back to retirement at the same time. Madison Kaline has never been at the peak of her career, and the same goes for Raven Roberts, who just came back. Both of you need to understand that you are in our world, stepping into our yard. Your roles are just getting your fucking heads kicked and being sent back to where you came from. We don’t give a shit about how much you’ve built and shaped this division, all that tune.The only sound you’ll catch this week is the wailing of agony before your noggin takes a dip in the crimson swamp – all just to see the havoc the British Invasion is about to wreak on all of you.
Madison Kaline: First off, you shouldn’t be talking at all. Can someone permanently cut her microphone off? Who even let this jobber in my ring?
Halsey Neel: It’s just funny to me how an undeserving Hall of Famer like you talks such things to me. If I’m a jobber? I’m still able to run laps around you any day. You’re washed up just like all the promos and matches you’ve been part of since your comeback. The only time you’ll look half-decent is when some greenhorn drags you to a win.
Raven Roberts: Let’s keep it simple and ask both of you this at the same time.
Halsey Neel: ?
Pandora Paisley: ?
Raven Roberts: How many titles have you guys won?
Crowd: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Pandora Paisley: That’s cute but you know what’s even cuter? I’ve got a question for you, Raven. Why don’t you just bugger off and vanish again for three or four more years?
Crowd: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Madison Kaline: Hey, for you to talk to her like that, it’s no surprise why neither of you has won anything notable here. The loudest one in the room is always the weakest one. You all are just the living embodiment of that. Maybe it would be so much nicer if the team could be fired and gone from this company like those previous friends of yours, Pandora.
Madison Kaline: And Halsey?…
( Madison chuckles a little once she hears her name mentioned before looking up to her. )
Madison Kaline: You-
Eve: OH, AND HERE WE GO! ALL HELL BREAKING LOOSE! NEEL JUST JUMPED ACROSS THE TABLE, LAUNCHING AN ATTACK ON MADISON KALINE BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN SAY SOME WORDS TOWARDS HER! PANDORA DRAGS RAVEN ACROSS THE TABLE, TAKING A PROBLEMATIC STANCE AT HER OWN HANDS! BOTH WOMEN HAVE BEEN JUMBLED, AND THEY ARE BOTH DEFENSELESS AT THE MOMENT!
Deadprez: OH, SOMEBODY HAS TO COME IN A BUNCH AND STOP THIS! IT’S BECOME SUPER CHAOTIC! HALSEY NEEL IS BEATING THE HELL OUT OF MADISON KALINE RIGHT NOW, AND PANDORA PAISLEY IS JUST THERE, UNLEASHING AND DISHING RAPID-FIRE ATTACKS ON HER! THE SITUATION IS DOWNRIGHT DOMINATING RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: Someone seems determined to completely obliterate Maddie! Halsey Neel picks her up and sets her up on her shoulders just there!… POWERBOMB DRIVES MADISON KALINE THROUGH THE TABLE! THIS IS INSANE!
( After Madison Kaline has been laid out cold, Pandora, who already took out Raven Roberts, drags her down to the center of the ring and has her lying in front of the cold body of Madison Kaline, who is being slumped through the table. Raven reaches her hand out for help before those hands are stomped and pressed by Pandora’s boots. )
( Halsey grabs a contract down from the guard and gives it to Pandora. Pandora presses her feet upon Raven while grabbing a pen and signing the contract. She drops the contract to the ground, grabs Raven’s hand, and sits on her back, forcing her to sign the contract there. )
( As the contract has been signed, Pandora slams Raven’s face right into the contract, then rises back to her feet. She grabs a microphone and speaks towards them while standing tall there. )
Pandora Paisley: I told you so, messing with the Devolution is gonna be karma coming back to bite you in the arse. Here are the consequences of both of your actions. Road to Redemption. British Invasion and two uneducated bollocks….
Pandora Paisley: TABLE. LADDER. CHAIR.
Crowd: IBGT8Y-934H89Y54WH094WPJET54HGE4U9GVYJIO4GVJUGHLHGI;ONJG;PERSJGI;OERSHMGIOVWMNERWIOGVLRNHGLRWIWRKNGJVWNHIULGVWIUO3NH3GIUO
Pandora Paisley: We’ll see you in hell.
( ‘Master of Puppets’ by Metallica plays as Pandora slams the microphone down to the ground, standing tall with Halsey Neel right beside her. Both women embrace dominance while standing above two legends. The final shot shows them devilishly smiling in satisfaction before the scene fades into the last commercial break. )
(We cut back to the ring, where Kennedy Street is already standing in the ring, from the contract signing that happened earlier, AJAX by her side. The fans, having given her a predictably ‘warm’ welcome have now calmed down a little, as Kennedy has asked for a mic from ringside.)
Deadprez: Well, it looks like we are going to close out the show with a look at the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Expect chaos folks
Eve: Medical staff on standby right?
Deadprez: I hope so, these never go well.
Gavin Kirkland: I know, great isn’t it?
(Kennedy holds up her hands, and the fans do indeed quieten down.)
Kennedy Street: That’s right, hush now… Kennie has something to say.
(Boos ring out, Kennedy saying something to AJAX who laughs.)
Kennedy Street: Now, usually Heidi would be out here doing this, because I obviously have better things to be doing. But Heidi as you all know was brutal…
(Cheers ring out, which annoys Kennedy, but she ignores them and continues.)
Kennedy Street: …Brutally attacked by that charlatan Caroline, and so you people are lucky enough to see me. You’re welcome.
Deadprez: Kennedy on fine form as usual
Gavin Kirkland: And looking GOOOOD!!!
Eve: Here we go, Gavin commentating with his groin again. Still with as much sense as his mouth.
Kennedy Street: Now, before I bring out the six competitors in what will obviously be the best Extreme Elimination Chamber EVER… and I promise not to get involved in this one.
(She chuckles, referring to her screw job over the current Champion last year in that very same structure.)
Kennedy Street: Kennie is going to give all of you in the back a warning. You come out here, you say your final words, with NO interruptions, and we all go home happy, including me. Any extra ‘ideas’ any of you may have, forget them. Or else you may be staying at home for Road to Redemption with a hefty fine to pay.
Eve: Kennedy knowing just like us the likelihood of this all descending into chaos.
Deadprez: You reckon they are going to listen?
Eve: Doubt it
Gavin Kirkland: They had better, Kennedy is not someone to mess with.
Kennedy Street: So, without further ado, I would like to welcome to the ring… You’re savior, The Deliverer… Solomon… STAAAANE!!!
(Birds with Broken Wings by Ben Caplan plays over the PA, and Solomon makes his way out onto the staging, his hands clasped in front of him. He nods towards the ring, and the crowd’s reaction, before walking down the ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: No Trixie? Dammit.
(Solomon reaches the ring and walks around it, before climbing the steps. Without hesitation he bends through the strands, pulling a microphone from his jacket. As his music hits, Kennedy nods to him giving him his cue, Solomon looking around an arena that boos him almost entirely.)
Solomon Stane: As yes, the jeers of the insignificant. How apt.
(The boos get even louder, a sneer forming on Solomon’s face.)
Solomon Stane: Yes, let us all boo the monster, the man who will slay your hero. How very predictable. But then again, isn’t this whole event predictable in its nature. See, over the course of this month, the Chamber has been called a monstrous structure that has ended careers. It has been called the ultimate equalizer, but is it not true that the same could be said for myself? For some reason, I have flown under the radar as a possible victor in his match, people preferring to look at someone like Scott Diamond, or indeed the man who calls himself a Chef, and believes it to be entertaining. And yet, do I not have the same attributes and those people I mention. People talk of the endurance of a Daryl Kinkade, or an Adam Lucas, and yet have I not endured more than most in my life. And PJ Hendrix, the unknown quantity, everyone’s favorite underdog. Is it not true that NO ONE in this match knows the true meaning of the redemption I am looking to achieve at the aptly named Road to Redemption.
(He walks around the ring, listening to every single word shouted at him as he does.)
Solomon Stane: I know that no one wants me to win this match. I know that I am probably hated throughout this arena after what I did to my ‘brother’ Kirk. But doing the Lord’s work isn’t a popularity contest. Doing what I have to do is not for the benefit of myself. I do this, because I HAVE to. To pay back for all the bad I have done in my life. And at Road to Redemption, all of you will bear witness to the rebirth of the Answers World Championship, when I, Solomon Stane, rip it from Adam Lucas and deny everyone else who is about to tell you that they will be victorious. This is my time EAW… and I will NOT be denied.
(His hesitation tells Kennedy that he is done, and she lifts her mic as Solomon eyes AJAX with disdain.)
Kennedy Street: Thank you Honey for that… it was a speech right and not a warning?
(Solomon just shrugs his shoulders.)
Kennedy Street: Sends a shiver down my spine Solomon, really does. But we need to move on and introduce the second of my guests this evening. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the ring, and remember no funny business Solomon, Daryl KIIIIINKAAAAAAAAADE!!!!
(Kamikaze plays, and Daryl Kinkade bounds onto the stage, eager to make his way to the ring. He strides down the ramp with a purpose, and walks around the ring to grab a mic, before sliding under the bottom rope, purposely walking past Solomon, almost daring him to do something. His music dies down, and Daryl lifts the mic, totally ignoring the noise from the arena. He then turns to Solomon.)
Daryl Kinkade: Gotta tell you bruv, I’ve had better hype men.
Deadprez: Daryl going straight into his routine, Solomon shaking his head predictably.
Eve: Daryl knows this is a huge chance for him, but that is not going to stop him having some fun.
Daryl Kinkade: And Kennedy, thank you for giving me those chances to make sure that I was in that Chamber. Because let’s face it, if I weren’t, that match would be an absolute snooze fest. I mean, get a personality, people.
(Some of the crowd laugh, but he raises a hand.)
Daryl Kinkade: But let’s be serious for a second, because I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Everyone in this place knows that I should be the World Champion already and let my floppy haired brother get lucky. Kennedy, I love you girl, but I should have got an instant rematch, you know it and I know it. As I have said before, there was a reason I was given so many opportunities, and that’s because the management felt guilty.
(Kennedy is about to state her case but is cut off, AJAX stepping forward but Kennedy putting a hand on his chest to stop him and shaking her head.)
Dary Kinkade: It is true… but that’s all water under the bridge, because now I’m here. I’m taking what is mine. No one can deny that I am the star around these parts and the reason that these people pack out arena’s worldwide, just to see me. I am the best on the mic, and I am the best in the ring, and the only thing I am missing right now is the shiny itself. At Road to Redemption, I put all the wrongs of this season, right… and big guy…
(He looks directly at Solomon now.)
Daryl Kinkade: I don’t care what YOU think bruv… I’m the one winning that Chamber. Because I’m the only person in this match WORTHY of carrying that belt, and this brand on my shoulders.
Kennedy Street: Done?
Daryl Kinkade: Short and sweet ‘honey’, just like me.
(Kennedy sighs, but she seems relieved that Daryl did indeed keep his rhetoric brief. She just wanted this over without a hitch, and thus far it was going alright.)
Kennedy Street: Well, thank you honey, and I look forward to seeing how it goes for you in the Chamber. Shall we get another one out guys?
(The crowd roars, Kennedy acknowledging that.)
Kennedy Street: Well ok then… please welcome to the ring, the Founder of the Visual Prophet Leadership Academy, The Wizard and our ‘BAE’…
(The crowd is already cheering, some of course booing.)
Kennedy Street: CHEF VIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZ!!!
(5 Milli by Icewear Vezzo hits, and Chef Viz makes his appearance to a raucous ovation, mixed with some boos from people who can’t forget what he has done in the past. He doesn’t care either way, and makes his way down to the ring, high fiving with some of the fans, whilst jawing with others.)
Gavin Kirkland: Are we looking at the next Answers World Champion guys?
Eve: Wow, a sensible moment?
Gavin Kirkland: Make the most of it
Deadprez: Viz comes into this match many peoples favorites for sure. He has all the attributes necessary to succeed, and a lot of people think this will indeed be the moment we see him as World Champion again.
(Viz grabs a mic, and rolls into the ring, kneeling there and looking at Solomon and Kinkade before jumping up with a huge smile on his face. He lifts the mic to his lips and starts to speak even before his music stops.)
Chef Viz: CATERING IS HERE!!!
(The crowd rejoices, but Viz doesn’t pause for thought.)
Chef Viz: And not before time, because Kennedy looks like she is wasting away
(Kennedy motions towards her perfect body, Viz just shrugging it off.)
Chef Viz: And I dig it you know, there is a lot of ‘wasting away’ these days. I mean, look at Daryl’s career for starters.
(Daryl is going to react, but Kennedy gives him a look, and he had no intention of being kicked out of the match.)
Chef Viz: Ah, Vizzie is kidding Daryl, it’s all good in the kitchen. I got something special on the menu for you all in that Chamber. The perfect ingredients some might say to Chef Viz leaving with a good old Answers World Championship sandwich. That belt tucked firmly between my legs when I went to sleep that night. Back where it should be.
(The crowd roars.)
Chef Viz: I hear you; I hear you loud and clear. My ‘nephew’ Adam had a good run with the belt, but it’s now time for someone with real pedigree to take over and lead this bright young roster into its new era. I get it, you’re sick of the same thing delivered every single week… I mean, you can only have fast food every so often right till it gets bland and boring. Sorry Adam, but it’s true. You people think wrestling ability, you think of Viz. You think of entertainment, you think of Viz. Yeah that’s right Daryl. And come Road to Redemption, when you people think Answers World Champion, you’ll immediately have my handsome face registering in your brains. There is a certain inevitability about it all. Vizzy Cent has been sleeping for a little while, but now he’s wide awake. And he’s ready to COOK.
(Another pop from the crowd, which causes Daryl to kick the ropes in frustration. Solomon just listens intently with his arms crossed.)
Chef Viz: People said that I’d become a parody of myself, knowing I’d already reinvented myself more times than Madonna. They said that I was weak, that I was washed and didn’t have it in me anymore, even though I was knowing over Elitists like they were dominos. They said I would never be World Champion again, and guess what? In the Extreme Elimination Chamber, I’m going to prove them wrong again. And prove once and for all that you can NEVER sleep on Big Viz. I’m about to turn back the clock, back to a more, succulent time. Say it with me people…
(He holds the mic up high in the air, and the fans do not let him down.)
Crowd: COOK VIZ COOK!!!
Chef Viz: Damn right.
(The crowd roars as Chef Viz takes his place in the ring.)
Kennedy Street: Still think you have the ‘Star Power’ Daryl?
(Daryl looks furious, but this just pleases Kennedy, who lifts the mic up to her mouth again.)
Kennedy Street: Guys, it’s time to welcome the fourth entrant in the Extreme Elimination Chamber.
Deadprez: Who is it going to be?
Gavin Kirkland: I hope it isn’t PJ Hendrix
Kennedy Street: The Phantom…
Gavin Kirkland: ….
Kennedy Street: EAW’s Diamond in the Rough… P…J… HEEEEEENDRIIIIIIIIXXXX!!!
(‘Exhibit C’ by Jay Electronica hits, and PJ runs onto the stage to a huge ovation from the capacity crowd. He points down to the ring, and nods his head, before walking down the ramp with supreme confidence.)
Deadprez: Huge fan favorite heading to the ring, and more than ever, looking like he belongs in this chamber.
Eve: He earned it, and first time might I add not like some I could mention.
Gavin Kirkland: Listen to this noise… Why didn’t Daryl get an ovation like that?
Eve: Err… because he is an asshole.
(PJ already has a mic, so slides under the bottom rope, Daryl Kinkade stepping forwards, but AJAX getting between them both, PJ turning away first. As the music dies down, he starts to speak, the crowd hushed and hanging on his every word.)
PJ Hendrix: You know, I look around, and do you know what I see? Victims. Yeah, that’s right, I see three people, and two still to come, who fully believe that they are the ones walking away with the win, and that I don’t have a chance. I mean, I look over at you Daryl, and you should not even be here, I made sure of that. Solomon, you’ve done nothing but fail in the tag division. And Viz, you’re OK I guess, but you’ve been to the top of the mountain, and I haven’t. I got that hunger you don’t. I aim to succeed, where the rest of you won’t.
(The crowd roars again, PJ smirking at their reaction to him as he paces the ring, keeping his eyes on his opponents in case they should try something.)
PJ Hendrix: See, there is one thing that PJ doesn’t have issues with, and that’s opening his ears and listening. And I’ve been listening to every single word coming out your mouth. Not one of you expects me to be the last man standing in that chamber, do you?
(The camera pans around Solomon, Daryl, and Viz, and all three of them shake their heads.)
PJ Hendrix: And that’s cool, I don’t mind that. I can be this underdog if that’s what you all want. Because when someone says I don’t have a chance, that is when I make it my business to show them why they are wrong. I get to see the look on their faces when I make the seemingly impossible… possible. And when I stand alone in that Chamber, with five other Elitist’s dreams shattered into a million pieces, I’m going to live in that moment, and burn the image of your faces onto my retinas forever. At Road to Redemption, I’m making my moment. And after I’m through, none of you will ever sleep on the name PJ Hendrix again. Count on it.
Kennedy Street: Thank you PJ for that ‘inspiring’ speech but we are running out of time now and Kennie got a bubble bath waiting for her so if you’re through?
(PJ just turns away, grinning at Daryl again, Kennedy continuing.)
Kennedy Street: Which now brings us to our final challenger. So, give an EAW veteran, and that doesn’t mean old honey, a warm welcome. The Cold-Blooded Killer and Perfect Storm… SCOTT DIIIIIIIIIIAMOOOOOND!!!
(The boos start this time before ‘In the Air Tonight’ by Phil Collins can even begin. The white spotlight illuminates the stage as Scott appears within it, walking down to the ring as the spotlight follows.)
Deadprez: Last week, Scott Diamond was silent throughout the build to the six-man. For some that are seen as lazy, I see it as Scott focused on one thing, that being the Chamber.
Eve: He’s 6’5, 265 Ibs of pure muscle, and in that Chamber, he can cause some real damage with his power. This for me is Scott’s domain more than any other, and that could be bad news for everyone else.
(Scott enters the ring and reaches over and takes a mic from one of the ring crew. He then, one by one, gets in the face of each of the competitors, his eyes narrowing with each one as he psyches them out. Solomon, who is as big as he is, looks him up and down with a grin on his face, before walking to the center of the ring and lifting the mic.)
Scott Diamond: Make no bones about it, you are all looking at the next Answers World Champion. I don’t have to pander you all by posting pointless videos for what was an even more pointless six-man tag team match. I do what I do…and I am the best at it, bar none. And I don’t need another championship reign to cement my already unrivaled legacy, but you all sure as hell need me.
Gavin Kirkland: Educate them Scott.
Scott Diamond: See, in a few moments, Adam Lucas is…
(A roar goes up at the mention of his name.)
Scott Diamond: Yes, he is going to come to this ring with the belt over his shoulder and you are all going to lap it up, not even realizing what you are doing. You are enabling a fraud, to destroy the very brand that you all obviously love. Well, I’m not fooled by him, even after his performance at The Last Stand. He STILL shouldn’t be World Champion, and in that Chamber, this time, I WILL NOT MISS. I’m going to put him down, and I’m going to keep him down. And save you all from this façade.
Deadprez: Scott sticking to his guns… he doesn’t believe Adam should be anywhere near the World Championship and is determined to make good on his promise.
Scott Diamond: See, in that Chamber, and I speak to you all here, there will be no escape. There will not be a convenient rope break, or a disqualification to save you. I can do whatever I want to claim that title, and when there are no rules, that is when I come to the fore. Just like last year when Impact prevailed, so I will do the same. Only this time, I will not run away like he did. I’ll thrive, just like I have done before. So, I haven’t come out here with some prepared speech. I’ve not come out here to entertain the masses, or act like a jerk off. I’m here, because I am contractually obliged to hype Road to Redemption, and once I’m done here, and Kennie heads for her bubble bath, I’ll be focussed on one thing, and one thing only.
(He looks directly into the camera lens.)
Scott Diamond: WINNING. And in doing so, give Showdown a champion that it can actually be proud of. Instead of the pretender we currently have running around calling himself ‘Champ’. And to coin a phrase from our General Manager… YOU’RE WELCOME.
(The crowd boos, but only because they know that Scott could well make good on his words tonight. A murmur then falls over the crowd, expecting as Kennedy steps forwards again.)
Kennedy Street: I thank all five of you for your words, and for showing a little bit of class. I’m sure it is clear to all that you are all intent on becoming Champion, and I look forward to watching you all put Showdown on the map. But now, I would like to introduce someone who I’m sure has been listening in the back. Someone I’m sure will get a huge ovation regardless of my introduction. Honey, allow me to welcome YOUR Answers World Champion…
(The fans are already on their feet, the noise building.)
Kennedy Street: He is the Next Level… AAAAADAM LUUUUUUUUUUCAS!!!
(‘Be Legendary’ by Pop Evil kicks in, Adam Lucas stepping put onto the stage to what can only be described as mass hysteria. Smirking, he looks at the belt draped over his shoulder, tapping it and then fist bumping where his heart would be. With a deep breath, he then starts walking down the ring and towards his opponents.)
Deadprez: This could be the penultimate time we see Adam Lucas head to the ring with the title, but it doesn’t seem to be concerning him.
Eve: Adam is a realist, he knows that it could be his time, but he isn’t going to go down without a fight.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam Lucas is an asshole. Daryl knows it, Scott knows it. He’s a fraud just like his wife.
Eve: Don’t let Bethany hear you say that Gavin… she’s lost it over on Voltage, you don’t want her turning up here.
(Adam reaches the ring and walks up the steps, stopping a moment to nod to the fans at ringside, before then motioning for Daryl to back off. AJAX again intervenes, and Adam enters, Kennedy actually passing him her microphone which Adam takes respectfully. His music then dies down, but that only serves for an ‘Adam’ chant to break out, Adam nodding his head in time.)
Deadprez: This is quite the moment… you kind of feel like Adam knows this could be his last chance too.
Eve: Maybe
(Adam lifts the mic and turns to Kennedy.)
Adam Lucas: Thank you Kennedy for that welcome, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak
Gavin Kirkland: Suck up
Adam Lucas: I mean, just a year ago, I was preparing for another Chamber, a Chamber I should have won.
(Kennie pulls a face, which makes Adam laugh.)
Adam Lucas: Yeah, I can point to reasonings, but let face it, Road to Redemption wasn’t my time. Pain for Pride was. And since Pain for Pride, I have held this belt with honour, and integrity. But apparently for some, that hasn’t been enough.
(He looks at both Scott and Daryl, and then even glances at Viz.)
Adam Lucas: And now, I find myself back at the scene of one of my biggest heartaches, knowing that the Chamber could deny me again. Knowing that there are some real units in that Chamber, calling it their domain. But you know what guys, I LOVE being your Champion. And I’m not ready to call it a day just yet. People still don’t believe I am the right person for this job, then fine. Put us in that Chamber and we’ll discuss it properly. But don’t be crying about it to management when you finally realize that Adam Lucas is one of the toughest sons of a bitches alive.
(Another huge crowd pop, but this time Adam doesn’t smile, because he is now all business.)
Adam Lucas: Now, because I’m a Gentlemen, and I don’t want to keep Kennie from pampering herself, and because it’s getting cold out there and all of you have got homes to go to, I’m going to leave it at this. PJ, Solomon, Scott, Viz and Daryl this title belt is all I ever dreamed of growing up, it is the symbol of a long road traveled to get here, and road that hasn’t yet come to an end. This Chamber is an intersection, and I can either get off here, or I continue along the road and build a legacy. You might not think much of me. You might not think I have star power, or that I’m boring but just listen…
(Adam holds up the mic, and this time the ‘Adam’ chant is louder than ever before. For fully one minute the fans chant, as the competitors all listen, Daryl especially getting more antsy with the noise levels. Finally, Adam brings the mic down to his lips.)
Adam Lucas: The ones that matter, those fans… THEY know exactly who I am. The truth is, what the five of you think doesn’t even register on my radar. The FACT is, I simply don’t…
(Kinkade has had enough, and his hammers Adam in the back of the head with his forearm, Adam dropping to one knee as Daryl sets about punching him in the face. The other competitors then look at each other, and then set about each other, a huge brawl ensuing. Solomon and PJ find themselves paired off, the two of them landing hammer blows, until Solomon takes PJ through the ropes with a tackle, taking them both to the outside. Viz and Scott are already on the outside, Viz sent crashing into the steel ring post. Back in the ring, Daryl has backed Adam to the ropes, but when he runs in, Adam ducks and sends Daryl over the top rope and to the outside, Daryl’s body narrowly missing Kennedy, her and AJAX having decided it best if they escape the carnage.)
Deadprez: As predicted, this has descended now, and Kennedy is leaving them to it.
Eve: Daryl was the instigator unsurprisingly.
Gavin Kirkland: Leave them to it… see the fans agree.
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT!!! LET THEM FIGHT!!!
(Scott picks up the steel steps, aiming to crush Viz’s skull with them, but Viz kicks Scott in the balls, causing him to drop the steps, Viz reaching over the barricade and picking up a steel chair. Viz lifts it in front of his face, but Scott is up, and kicks the chair into Viz’s face sending him backwards. Solomon has found a lead pipe, and as PJ gets to his feet, Solomon clocks PJ with the implement, PJ dropping to his knees. Solomon then gets behind him and starts to choke PJ with the pipe, PJ struggling for air. Adam and Daryl are now trading blows again, Daryl though headbutting Adam on the bridge of his nose, Adam holding his face. Out of nowhere, Scott then blasts Adam with the steel chair Viz brought to the party, Adam flying backwards and over the barricade.)
Deadprez: What a shot by Scott Diamond
Eve: But hold on…
(Daryl Kinkade has found a 2×4, and he crashes it across Scott Diamond spine, the wood actually breaking in half. PJ is down, almost unconscious from the breath being taken from his lungs, and Daryl Kinkade turns around, Solomon Stane driving the lead pipe into Daryl’s throat, Daryl holding his throat choking. Viz is up however, and on pure instinct spins Solomon around…)
Deadprez: NO, NO, NO!!!
(The announcers try to get out the way, as Viz picks Solomon up and drives him through the announce table with a spinebuster, the two of them left in amongst the wreckage. The camera then pans around all six competitors, all of them in some state of disarray. Finally, Security hurtles down the ramp, as boos ring out over the arena who want the carnage to continue.)
Deadprez: If this is a preview of what is going to happen at Road to Redemption, then I’m in. This event is going to be something else.
Eve: After what I’ve just seen, whoever wins, I don’t think there will be anything left
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t care as long as Adam Lucas doesn’t retain.
Eve: Well maybe after seeing this, you’ll get your wish.
(Adam is getting to his feet, ready to try and go again, but a member of security holds him, another one helping him. Viz and Solomon start to move, and it looks like Solomon is going to go again, but again security drags him away. Diamond gets to his feet on his own, but is visibly holding his back, as Daryl kneels. PJ is sat with his back to the barricade, perhaps now understanding what he is going to have to do to succeed.)
Deadprez: Well, that’s it from us folks, the next stop is Road to Redemption. What is going to happen inside that Extreme Elimination Chamber and are we about to crown a new Answers World Champion. I’ve been Deadprez, we’ll see you in Mexico City. Good night.
(The camera pans around the six individuals again, and then Kennedy and AJAX stood at the top of the ramp, Kennedy shaking her head.)
(EAW Logo buzzes.)
