(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of everything that happened in the last Showdown. Kennedy Street reveals the rest of the teams for Blind Faith. Clayton Golde defeats Jade Phoenix. Solomon Stane promises to bring redemption and change to Showdown. Auburn Ware defeats Jane Chrissty. Mikaela Street has an interview with Raven Roberts, expressing her problems with what happened last week before she is interrupted by Miku Sakai, reminding her they are teammates for Blind Faith and to not mess this up for her. Auburn Ware has an interview talking about her future before she is suddenly attacked by Ashlynn Quinn, not taking well about Auburn calling her a tool. Usagi Senshi beats Princess Candice after a distraction from KASAI, with Madison coming out after the match to complain to Candice before Candice suddenly lays her out with a punch. Daryl Kinkade walks in on Pandora and Halsey talking, asking questions about why they went to his match, with Pandora explaining that they are just scouting him, Daryl ends up resorting to playing nice with Pandora since they are a team for Blind Faith, but if she tries to screw him over then she will pay. Jon Kelton defeats Scott Diamond after an unintentional distraction from Cy Henderson. Kirk Redwood promises he will bounce back from all of his bad luck and win the National Elite Championship, with Veena coming out and shutting him down in every way possible. She tries to give him some cologne to mock him, and attempts to attack him but Kirk fights back and lays her out instead to stand tall. Adam tries to talk with Caroline to work together at Blind Faith but he is mostly unsuccessful in trying to get on the same page with her. And in the main event, Adam Lucas vs PJ Hendrx ends in a no contest after Terry Chambers interferes, attacking Adam and even attacking PJ for his troubles but he is shut down by Caroline when she appears and she hits him with black mist to actually help Adam.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of the Arena Olympic Hall in Tangier, Morocco 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 two weeks away from Reasonable Doubt, with a lot of tension being brought between all of the different teams heading into Blind Faith. But what do we have for all of the people watching tonight, Deadprez?
Deadprez: First off, we have Kirk Redwood going up against Jon Kelton, Halsey Neel facing off against Miku Sakai and KASAI fighting against Madison Kaline!
Eve: We also see Raven Roberts go up against Ashlynn Quinn and in our main event, the National Elite Champions Veena Adams goes up against Solomon Stane!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S NOT WASTE ANY MORE TIME AND LET’S START OFF WITH MY FAVORITE SPOOKY GAL, CAROLINE! :blessed:
(‘Living Dead Girl’ by Rob Zombie starts to play as smoke starts to fill the staging in front of the entranceway. Boos fill the arena, as the fans recognize who is about to make her way to the ring. After a few moments, a figure walks through the smoke dressed all in black and stands looking out over the arena as the music plays. The reaction she is receiving brings a wry smile to her face which she shrugs off with a hand gesture, before starting her walk down to the ring.)
Deadprez: Caroline making her way out here tonight off the back of some ‘strange’ actions last week. Adam Lucas was on the end of a beating, and Caroline came out to help, or at least that is the way it seemed.
Eve: I’d agree… Adam and PJ Hendrix had just put on quite the match, and Terry Chambers did his best to ruin that. No surprise there. It was a surprise however to see Caroline help, and Adam apparently appreciated it.
Deadprez: That’s the way it looked. And make no bones about it, if Adam and Caroline are on the same page now, it bodes well for their chances going forwards. But can Adam really trust someone like Caroline fully?
Gavin Kirkland: Of course, he can. Just look into Carolines beautiful eyes. She’s an angel. Adam Lucas doesn’t deserve her.
(Caroline reaches the ring, and steps up onto the apron, bending through the strands and then pulling out a mic from her coat. She then simply nods her head, and her music starts to fade, an almost eerie silence falling over the arena.)
Deadprez: Wow, can you feel that? It’s bringing up goosebumps… this place is captivated by Caroline right now.
Gavin Kirkland: They should be, she is captivating. Now shut up and listen.
(The camera pans back to Caroline, who is stood there, holding the moment.)
Caroline: Yes, feel that. Feel that atmosphere than you can cut with a knife. Do you know what that is, that is fear. Fear as to what I may or may not do next. For so long, I was ignored, berated. No one listened to my warnings, what I could do if I chose to. But no one ignores me now do they. Slowly but surely, people are starting to realize the threat I pose to this company. It’s laughable, and yet comes as no surprise, that people like Adam Lucas are now almost begging me for my help.
Deadprez: He certainly wasn’t begging.
Gavin Kirkland: Sounded like it to me, Prez.
Eve: Of course, it does.
Caroline: Let me make it clear to everyone, a misunderstanding that was born of my actions last week. That being NO ONE should read into what I did, or that I in some way care what happens to Adam Lucas. To give even more clarity to that, so that everyone can understand, all I was doing is protecting what I like to call my ‘investment’.
Gavin Kirkland: Bet Adam has never been called an investment before. That’s funny.
Eve: Really? I see no humor in that.
Gavin Kirkland: No because you are dead inside.
Caroline: It shouldn’t come to any surprise, I hate Adam Lucas, and there is no questioning that, nor will it ever change. Truth is, I hate his wife even more after what she did a few years ago. So, there is no one that should expect me to be okay teaming with someone like him. Would he be okay teaming with Kassidy Heart for instance? In fact, forget that he probably would, such is his naivety. The fact is, this isn’t my preference, but Adam raised a solid point. We would be better going at this together. He is, absolutely, a necessary evil, as am I when it comes to Blind Faith, so as long as he holds up his end of the bargain…
(The place pops at ‘Be Legendary’ by Pop Evil hits over the PA system, and Adam Lucas appears in the entranceway, the fans going absolutely bananas. He salutes the nearest camera, and then the fans, before making his way to the ring.)
Deadprez: Adam Lucas coming out here, and my God the noise in this place. He may not have the belt anymore, but he is still one of the most popular Elitist’s on not just Showdown, but the entire EAW.
Eve: He didn’t look like he’d missed a beat last week, and some might say he had PJ Hendrix, but he’s gotten right back on that horse.
Gavin Kirkland: He should fall off that high horse and break his neck if you ask me.
Eve: No one did.
(By now, Adam has reached the ring, and he walks up the steps, keeping an eye on Caroline as he steps into the ring. He then climbs a turnbuckle and holds aloft a hand, before jumping down and holding out his hand, politely asking if he can use Caroline’s mic. She just chuckles to herself, but does indeed hand it to him, as his music fades.)
Adam Lucas: Oh Caroline… I am but a fool.
(This gets a smattering of laughter from the fans, and indeed the announce table. This though doesn’t resonate with Caroline as amusing as she slowly tilts her head.)
Deadprez: Adam trying to keep this lighthearted.
Adam Lucas: I’m the former World Champion, and yet you think I am a tool.
(This gets much more laughter, Adam himself enjoying the moment, Caroline however not impressed.)
Adam Lucas: I’m sorry, I’m not a songwriter, I’m not going to have a number one album that’s for sure. But you know something I am good at… I’m good at getting it done.
(Caroline mouths ‘except at King of Elite’, Adam once again laughing.)
Adam Lucas: No, I didn’t get it done at King of Elite, but I know when there has to be an element of trust, if you want to get to the top. Alliances are forming Caroline, people are figuring out what they need to do, to get inside that cage, and you and I shouldn’t be any different. You talk of me being an ‘investment’, and I know you mean it as some kind of slight, but you see, I don’t care. You came to that ring to make sure I made it to Blind Faith… cool. Let’s keep it right there… and you have my back just like that, all the way to when we stand opposite each other in that Chamber. That’s all I want.
(Caroline is about to walk away, but Adam puts a hand on her shoulder, Caroline turning and looking at the hand with disgust.)
Adam Lucas: I’m sorry for what happened with Bethany. It was unfortunate, but it had nothing to do with me. We can work together, Caroline, at least for this one match. So, what do you say?
(Adam holds his hand out, Caroline looks down at it for a moment, then looking right into Adam’s eyes. A grin forms on her face, but then she just walks away, leaving Adam hanging. She gets out the ring and backs up the ramp as her music plays, Adam just shaking his head and laughing, finally withdrawing his hand.)
Deadprez: Adam Lucas looking to bury the hatchet again…
Gavin Kirkland: And the only hatchet Caroline wants to bury is in Adam’s head.
Eve: I think Adam will just have to trust this notion of an investment, because Caroline will never be on board. All thanks to Dr. Bethany Blue.
(Caroline reaches the top of the ramp and then looks back, looking directly at Adam once more before disappearing. The camera then pans back to Adam who shrugs his shoulders again, before also leaving the ring.)
Deadprez: He tried, no question about it, but this tag team really is in the lap of the Gods. Who knows what happens next?
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline does. The ‘Queen of Shadows’ will hold the key. Just like she likes it.
(The camera follows Adam as he high-fives some of the fans before the scene cuts away to an ad for Reasonable Doubt and Blind Faith.)
(The ad ends and the camera fades to Gina Romano in the ring to announce the participants for the first match of the night.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING IS THE OPENING MATCH OF SHOWDOWN AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE-FALL!
(‘The Dark Horse Always Wins’ by Blues Saraceno begins to play as white smoke covers the stage. Kirk Redwood emerges from it, his fist held high in the air. He points it at the camera, and ‘Kelton’ is written on his knuckles.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS…WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS…HE IS ‘THE UNKILLABLE’…KIRK REDWOOD!
Eve: A battle of number one contenders here! Kirk Redwood is determined to capture his first singles title in Elite Answers Wrestling! We have seen a different side of him lately, as he has stepped his game to a new level! Tonight, he is looking to send a message to Veena Adams who is already at ringside! But before he can off against her, he has to get through a man who he has yet to defeat! Is this new Kirk Redwood capable of beating Jon Kelton?
(Kirk Redwood heads down to the ring and flips off Veena Adams without even looking at her. He gets inside the ring and just stares out at the stage, waiting for his opponent. ‘The Dark Horse Always Wins’ is soon replaced by ‘Paint it Black’ by The Rolling Stones as Jon Kelton emerges. The crowd boos him, but he doesn’t care in the slightest. He just makes his way down to the ring returning Redwood’s stare.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…RESIDING IN DALLAS, TEXAS…WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS…HE IS ‘THE DEVIL’…JON KEEEELLLLTTOOON!
Deadprez: That is a difficult question to answer! Jon Kelton is heading into Reasonable Doubt in pursuit of the world championship he craves! He is so close and he will let anyone get in his way! I mean, this is a new Kirk Redwood, but he’s against a more dangerous Jon Kelton! One thing is for certain tonight and that is that these two are going to beat the holy hell out of one another!
(Jon Kelton ignores Veena as well. He climbs inside the ring and maintains the stare with Redwood. Kirk Redwood smiles at him in anticipation. The referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: And here we go folks! As the bell rings, Kirk Redwood rushes at Kelton! He looks for the double leg takedown, but Kelton refuses to be moved! Instead he hammers down right on the spine of his opponent! He looks to keep it going, sending Redwood into the ropes with an irish whip! HE GOES TO LIFT UP REDWOOD WITH A SPINEBUSTER! Kirk goes up and comes down with an elbow on the head of Kelton! He then turns it around…SNAP SUPLEX!
Eve: Redwood doesn’t want to stop there, grabbing the arm of the downed Kelton and attempting the armbar! Jon Kelton quickly uses his other arm to prevent it from being locked in! He goes to lift up Redwood, but his opponent wisely releases the hold! He lands on his feet and lets a big fist fly! KELTON COUNTERS INTO THE CROSSFACE! He tries to take the Dog of War down to the mat, but Redwood catches himself! Kirk grabs Kelton by the waist and LOOKS FOR THE BACK SUPLEX! KELTON LANDS ON HIS FEET! That is pure athleticism on display!
Deadprez: Damn right it is! Jon Kelton grabs Redwood from behind AND LAUNCHES HIM WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! Kirk Redwood hits the mat with tremendous force! He manages to roll back onto his feet, but it’s clear that he felt the full effect of that one! Kelton looks to continue the offense, smashing him in the face with a massive forearm! He then throws him back towards the center of the ring and looks for the SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! REDWOOD DODGES TO THE SIDE! But Kelton was able to see it coming, able to land on his feet!
Gavin Kirkland: HE LOOKS FOR A STANDING VARIATION…BUT REDWOOD GETS HIS KNEES UP! Kelton bounces away from him pain and Kirk scrambles back up! As Kelton recovers from the counter, KIRK GETS HIM WITH THE RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! He could have decapitated his opponent with that one! And for all we know, that’s what he intended to do! Kelton is laid on the ground and Kirk sees a perfect chance! HE LOCKS IN A KIMURA! He wrenches the arm of Kelton behind his back, applying enough pressure to nearly break the arm!
Eve: Kelton reaches out towards the ropes, but can’t get to them! You can tell that he’s in pain from this brutal maneuver, but he refuses to tap! He twists his body towards the ropes…AND MANAGES TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES! The ref tells Kirk to get off his opponent and he obliges! But not before delivering a smack to the back of Kelton’s head! Jon Kelton does not seem happy about that! He gets back to a vertical base, but Redwood descends upon him! HE LOOKS FOR ANOTHER SUPLEX! Kelton holds onto those ropes, refusing to be budged! He breaks free and drives another forearm into the face of his opponent! He then boots him in the gut…TWIST OF FATE!
Deadprez: Kelton drives his opponents face into the mat, but rolls backwards onto his feet, keeping ahold of Redwood! He gets him in position for the rolling cutter…IT CONNECTS! A masterful combination from Kelton! He looks for the cover!
ONE!
TW-
Gavin Kirkland: Kirk Redwood with the kick out! Kelton doesn’t seem surprised, in fact he just sort of shrugs! He wants the chance to inflict more pain on his opponent! He brings him back up and picks him in the powerslam position! He runs forward, but Redwood slips off the shoulders! He looks for the german suplex, but Kelton is able to shove him away! He turns back around to Redwood, attempting to follow up with a clothesline! REDWOOD CATCHES HIM WITH A STIFF SLAP! It knocks the taste right out of his mouth…AND REDWOOD GETS HIM WITH ANOTHER!
Eve: Kelton nearly falls over from the sheer force of it, but Redwood refuses to let him! Instead he throws him into the corner! HE GETS HIM WITH A CHOP! He looks for another, but Kelton punishes him with a slap of his own! Redwood is shocked by the strength behind it! Kelton throws him into the corner! HE THEN HITS WITH A MASSIVE KNEE! Redwood fails into a seated position, leaving him in prime position! Kelton heads towards the center of the ring THEN RUSHES BACK AT HIS OPPONENT AND HITS A RUNNING METEORA! The full weight of Kelton collides with Redwood! It seems like Kelton has complete control of this match!
Deadprez: Kelton seems to have grown already weary of this one! He brings Redwood to his feet and hooks the arms! HE’S LOOKING FOR THE EGO TRIP! REDWOOD BREAKS FREE OF THE HOLD! He then crushes his skull against his opponents! What a headbutt! Redwood then grabs Kelton AND HITS HIM WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX! More blunt force trauma here tonight! Redwood looks to follow up, getting back to his feet without releasing his opponent! He doesn’t look for a suplex, instead turning his opponent around…AND DROPPING HIM WITH A BRUTAL RIGHT HOOK! He just hit a knockout blow on The Devil himself! He covers!
ONE!
TW-
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton is able to kick out and a smile finds it’s way to the face of Redwood! He’s glad that this one isn’t over yet! He climbs on top of the downed Kelton and starts swinging! He’s throwing right hand after right hand, but Kelton is able to cover himself! Redwood instead tries to drives his elbow down, but still doesn’t seem able to fight back! BUT WAIT A SECOND! HE REACHES UP AND GRABS THE HEAD OF REDWOOD! HE LOCKS IN THE ETHER! Beautiful counter from Kelton as he locks in the guillotine choke! This is one of the deadlier moves in his arsenal, applying it with an iron-grip that even Redwood couldn’t!
Eve: This is like watching a snake squeeze the air of the lung of its prey! He is just crushing Redwood, doing whatever he has to in order to put him down! Redwood is trying to fight back, reaching out towards the ropes but he’s in the dead center of the ring! He starts punching at the ribs of his opponent! But Kelton keeps his grip, refusing to release the hold! Oh my God…Redwood is trying to stand up with Kelton! HE’S LIFTING HIM UP! But he can’t! He falls back to the mat with Kelton still around his neck! This could be an early end!
Deadprez: BUT KIRK TRIES AGAIN! He slowly rises to his feet, carrying Jon Kelton! Still, Kelton doesn’t release the hold! REDWOOD THEN RUNS AT THE ROPES, SENDING THEM BOTH TO THE OUTSIDE! An unconventional escape, but an effective one! But now both competitors are down on the outside! They manage to find their footing, but they’re both beginning to feel the effects of this match! Kelton makes the first move, driving Redwood spine first into the barricade! He grabs him by the hair and looks at the corner post!
Gavin Kirkland: YEAH! Throw into the post Jon! Do it! Do it! DO IT! Wait, Kirk Redwood turns it around and throws Kelton into the post! He then heads back inside the ring and stares down Veena! He turns his attention back to Kelton, who is slowly beginning to get back to his feet! STAR SNIPER! THE SUICIDE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT CONNECTS! I think I saw Kelton’s teeth land a few sections back! Those could be worth big money! Redwood then throws Kelton back inside the ring! He lines up another big manuever…LOOKING FOR THE BLITZKRIEG BOP!
Eve: Kelton ducks under the running knee aimed at the base of his skull! That could have been lethal! Redwood stills runs against the ropes, and Kelton LOOKS FOR THE SINGLE LEG DROPKICK OFF THE REBOUND! But Redwood catches it! He rolls Kelton backwards, putting him back on his feet…AND NAILS HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE FOREHEAD! He’s looking for something else here, pulling the legs out from underneath his opponent! HE LOCKS IN THE COLLINS LOCK! The Figure-Four Sharpshooter is now in! All the weight of Redwood is now applied on the lower back of Kelton!
Deadprez: This is one of Redwood’s most brutal submissions right here! Kelton seems to be realizing that right about now! He’s the one reaching out to the ropes now, but still Redwood drags him away! There is no escape for Kelton at the moment and this could be the beginning of the end! BUT HE DRAGS HIMSELF FORWARD! HE EXTENDS HIS ARM OUT TOWARDS THE BOTTOM ROPE! HE GETS IT! Redwood is forced to release the hold and you can tell that he isn’t too happy about it! Nonetheless, he backs off and lets Kelton recover!
Gavin Kirkland: His patience erodes as he chops Kelton across the chest! KELTON FIRES BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! AND ANOTHER! KIRKWOOD REPLIES WITH ANOTHER SLAP! He then unleashes a fury of blows, hitting him with a series of punches to the stomach! He then switches it up and aims for the head! KELTON SHOVES HIM AWAY! ONE! HIT! WONDER! THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS OUT OF NOWHERE! Kirk Redwood falls back like a tree getting chopped down! Jon Kelton now looks for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
T-
Eve: Redwood manages to remain conscious after that! Kelton kicked him hard enough to fracture his skull! Kelton of course, not done after that! He doesn’t waste a second dragging Redwood back to his feet! He uses the ropes to start building up momentum…AND HE LOOKS FOR THE ANTI-LIFE EQUATION! REDWOOD TURNS IT INTO A HALF-AND-HALF SUPLEX! Redwood tries to get back to his feet, but still seems a little groggy! Kelton is also struggling back to his feet, so Redwood has to act fast! HE HITS A SAITO SUPLEX ON KELTON! He then picks up his opponent…AND HITS ANOTHER! He keeps it going, looking for a snap suplex now!
Deadprez: KELTON SLIPS OUT OF IT! HE THEN HITS A GERMAN SUPLEX ON REDWOOD! Kelton was able to avoid the trifecta there! Redwood seems to be unable to move after that move, his head and back crushed under his own weight! Kelton still wants to inflict more pain! He picks Kirk up and lifts him into the sky…POWERBOMB! That has to hurt! Kelton keeps his arms together, not going for the cover quite yet! Instead, he lifts Redwood back into the air! A SECOND POWERBOMB! KELTON LIFTS HIM UP FOR THE THIRD!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT REDWOOD MANAGES TO ESCAPE IT! HE DROPS ON ELBOW ON KELTON AND THEN LANDS ON HIS FEET! Kelton looks for another One Hit Wonder, but Redwood steps to the side to avoid it! He looks for the uppercut, but Kelton smacks his arm away! He fires back with a right hook…BUT REDWOOD GETS HIM WITH A PALM STRIKE TO THE JAW! Kelton is staggered from the blow, so Redwood grabs his arm! BASTARDPLEX! Redwood hits his signature Wrist Clutch Back Suplex! And now he looks for a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
Eve: Kelton keeps fighting on here! These two elitists are bringing out whatever big guns they can tonight! Redwood looks at ringside and stares down Veena Adams! He turns his attention back where it needs to be! Redwood heads to the corner and waits for Kelton to get back to his feet! He is looking to put an end to this one! REDWOOD WITH THE PAROLE VIOLATION! KELTON LEAPS RIGHT OVER THE ROLLING SPEAR ATTEMPT! Kirk Redwood throws himself at his opponent at breakneck speed, only to land face first on the mat!
Deadprez: Kelton doesn’t waste any time! He hoists Redwood up onto his shoulders AND DROPS HIM RIGHT BACK WITH THE F-10 FACEBUSTER! Down goes the Dog of War and The Devil looks to ascend! Jon Kelton begins to make the climb to the top rope! HE’S ABOUT TO TAKE FLIGHT! But wait, he stops himself, seeing Redwood somehow willing himself back to his feet! Kelton calls an audible, hopping down onto the apron! HE GOES FOR THE SPRINGBOARD CODEBREAKER INSTEAD! Redwood gets a facefull of knees! He goes to the corner himself now, looking to finally put an end to this match!
Gavin Kirkland: HE LOOKS FOR THE FINAL ATONEMENT! KIRK INTERCEPTS IT WITH A DESPERATE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! If it wasn’t for that, it would have certainly been over! But now both competitors are down and it doesn’t seem like either one is going to get back up! But they’re beginning to stir, Redwood manages to get to knees and is looking down at Kelton! He brings an elbow into the side of his head! AND ANOTHER! He’s just raining down strikes into Kelton, doing whatever he can to beat him to a pulp! Redwood then forces him back to his feet! He hooks the arms…HE’S LOOKING FOR THE BRAINDEAD BUSTER!
Eve: KELTON COUNTERS! He unhooks himself and looks for the SITOUT BRAINBUSTER! REDWOOD BRINGS DOWN HIS FIST TO MEET THE FACE OF HIS OPPONENT! He saves himself yet again! BUT KELTON LOOKS FOR THE ONE HIT WONDER! Kirk sidesteps the superkick…AND LOCKS IN THE SLEEPER HOLD ON HIS OPPONENT! Kelton thinks fast and drives himself and Redwood into the corner! The submission is broken before any damage can be done! Kelton goes to exit the corner…but REDWOOD PULLS HIM BACK IN! GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLE! That is the type of move that ends careers!
Deadprez: But Redwood wants to win this match more than anything! He wants to send a message to Veena Adams and everyone else in that locker room! Redwood drags Kelton up to his feet…HE HITS HIM WITH ANOTHER STIFF SLAP ACROSS THE FACE! AND ANOTHER! AND HE KEEPS GOING! Kelton can’t even stand on his own two feet and Redwood knows it! He helps him back up and gets him in position for the end! DOWN! TO! HELL! REDWOOD GETS THE RUNNING LEAPING TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! He scrambles for the cover!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT WAIT! KELTON MANAGES TO PULL HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING! I don’t know if it’s survival instinct kicking or just pure spite from Kelton, but he refuses to let Redwood cover him! He’s collapsed out on the floor and there is a look of absolute shock in the eyes of Kirk Redwood! He cannot believe that Kelton slipped through his grasp like that! Veena Adams is laughing on the outside! I mean, she is just eating up Redwood’s devastation! It is kind of funny when you think about it!
Eve: The disappointment turns to fury as Redwood exits the ring! He gets in the face of the National Elite Champion and gets some trash talking in! He stops and turns to face Kelton, not willing to throw this chance away! He makes a dash towards his opponent’s position at ringside…AND USES THE STAIRS TO GET IN A FLYING UPPERCUT! Redwood needs to throw him back inside that ring and cover! But he has other plans here! He grabs Kelton…AND SLAMS HIM FACE FIRST OFF THE ANNOUNCERS DESK! He then picks him up…HE’S LOOKING FOR THE BASTARDPLEX ONTO THE ANNOUNCERS DESK!
Deadprez: BUT KELTON BREAKS FREE! HE POWERS OUT OF THE MOVE AND THEN SLAMS REDWOODS HEAD AGAINST THE DESK! Eye for an eye! Kirk doesn’t seem too deterred by this and replies with a leaping knee! BUT KELTON DODGES…CATCHING REDWOOD FROM BEHIND! ROLLING CUTTER! The referee has already begin the count, so Kelton rolls in and out of the ring to reset it! He is standing on the apron, looking down at Redwood…AND HE COMES DOWN WITH THE DIVING FOOT STOMP! He gets him perfectly in the center mass! Kelton is now back in control here!
Gavin Kirkland: He brings Redwood back up to his feet and hits a snap suplex! Jon Kelton now has a smile on his face! He grabs Redwood by the hair and drags him over to the apron! REDWOOD TRIES TO FIGHT BACK! He looks for a right hook, but Kelton catches it! HE THEN SMASHES HIS HEAD RIGHT OFF THE APRON! Kelton isn’t playing games anymore with Redwood, he just wants to get this over with! He throws him back inside the ring, where Redwood scrambles back to his feet! Kelton tries to get back inside…BUT REDWOOD CATCHES HIM WITH A KNEE!
Eve: He goes outside to the apron and the two start brawling! They’re going back and forth, hitting each other with everything they have! REDWOOD CATCHES KELTON WITH A MASSIVE RIGHT HOOK! That might have been enough to turn the tide! Redwood grabs him, looking for a suplex onto the apron! Kelton manages to shove him away, preventing another devastating blow! Redwood, of course, keeps coming at his opponent, this time GETTING HIM WITH A BIG CHOP! KELTON FIRES BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! He then takes a few steps back…AND LUNGES AT REDWOOD WITH THE FINAL ATONEMENT!
Deadprez: Both wrestlers are down on the outside! The ref is starting the count and we can see Kelton is able to get to his feet a little quicker! He hears the referee hitting the three count and rolls back inside the ring! He doesn’t want to take the chance here! Redwood still isn’t stirring as the ref keeps going!
FOUR!
FIVE!
(Redwood begins to stir and begins to drag himself towards the ring.)
SIX!
SEVEN!
(Kirk Redwood takes hold of the apron and starts pulling himself back to his feet.)
EIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: It looks like Redwood might beat the count! BUT WAIT! Veena Adams is sneaking from behind and Kelton sees it! He pulls the refs attention away while THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION SMASHES REDWOOD IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE TITLE! She just sent a message to her number one contender! Kelton orders the ref to continue the count now and he does! That’s the nine count right there and Redwood isn’t moving! TEN!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Paint it Black’ by The Rolling Stones begins to play as Jon Kelton smiles and gets back to his feet.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…’THE DEVIL’…JON KEEELLLLTTOOONN!
Eve: There are almost no words to describe what just happened! Jon Kelton survives Kirk Redwood here tonight! I mean, that was an impressive performance from both men! I mean, Kirk Redwood had Kelton dead to rights at certain points! But Kelton is ruthless, he is calculating, and at the end of the day, a win is a win for The Devil! You can tell Kirk Redwood is incredibly pissed-off about this result!
Deadprez: We can speculate here all we want. We could say that Redwood could’ve gotten back inside the ring and won, but that’s not what happened! Kelton took advantage of the situation, even pulling the ref’s attention away while Veena Adams hit Redwood with the title! You may not like how he did it, but he won! And Chef Viz should be very concerned about that for Reasonable Doubt, Jon Kelton will do whatever it takes to be Answers World Champion!
(Jon Kelton lets the ref hold his hand high as he celebrates the victory. On the outside of the ring, there is a quiet rage in the eyes of Redwood. He is shooting daggers at Veena Adams who is walking back up the ramp as the scene fades to the back.)
(Showdown cuts to the backstage area, as we see PJ Hendrx sitting inside his locker room, he was alone, but that would change as one; Terry Chambers emerged. Walking into the locker room, he closed the door behind him as he sat down.)
Terry Chambers: PJ, can I get a word with you for a moment?
PJ Hendrx: Yeah, lay it on me.
Terry Chambers: Look, what I’m gonna say may grasp a few straws, I don’t know how you’ll react, as well. It’s simple, realize who these words are coming from. This is the voice of a man who has accomplished a lot in EAW. So I just wanna say, falling in line is necessary for you. Knowing your role on the team is important. I say this as a man who has fallen in line multiple times, and can’t help but highlight the wonders it did for my career! I need you to do the same thing.
(Terry stated as PJ Hendrx raised an eyebrow, a bit confused.)
PJ Hendrx: Look, I know you haven’t been here in awhile, and you’ve been gone. The nature of this place has probably entirely transformed since the last time you were here. But that’s the game, with a limited window you have to make a name for yourself. There’s no strive for greatness if you aren’t taking steps that are out of the loop. I gotta stay on this path.
Terry Chambers: Common misconception, when I first came to EAW, I had a near similar mentality. Making a name for yourself, pretty difficult at first? I’m sure you’ve felt silenced beyond control, right? like nothing you can say or do, will showcase anything. I was there, I was just like that. I was one of those people who left the order, because I thought it would mean something. But look, you view the picture where I stand now. I can give you a full lock in focus and guarantee that knowing your place is the best case scenario for you here. Nothing you could possibly lose from that advice.
PJ Hendrx: I’ve been in that place before, but that was a long time ago. Making a name for myself now, is in opportune moments like this, when the lights are shining the brightest. When you were gone for the time you were, did that not reflect on you? We get limited opportunities, but you gotta hold optimism with all of them. You gotta be grateful for the failures that you have. I ain’t one of those guys who hang in the loop, you just gotta get out of it, the loop ain’t always gonna be your friend. I don’t know if my passive aggressive senses are tingling, but weird vibes are coming here.. I think what I am doing is creating some miscommunication..
(PJ and Terry had slight tension, but Terry Chambers quickly shrugged it off. As he stood up, maybe doing that would pan PJ’s focus a little bit more to the words he was saying.)
Terry Chambers: You aren’t gonna get this from any other Elitist who has a career like mine, they’re gonna shut you down at every angle and embarrass you. It’s a dog eat dog world, but I am being nice here. It benefits me, it benefits you, it benefits everyone. So I want you to come to terms with something for me, PJ, okay? Could you do that?
PJ Hendrx: I don’t know if I can come to terms, but just go ahead and lay it on me then, I’ll listen and hear you out, that’s all I really can do. So what is it, Terry?
(PJ raised an eyebrow, curious to what Terry Chambers had to say, but he was also kind of playing it on.)
Terry Chambers: I am the team captain here. I am the one with the experience leading the charge here. The best thing you can possibly do is stand behind me in line. Because in order for good things to happen, I need people to trust my word. Can you continue to trust my word? There is only one possible way that we can win this war that is waged. That is by you sticking behind me. As long as you provide me with that promise, then I can provide you with the promise of a victory. And then guess what happens at the end of the day? We’re all sent home happy.
PJ Hendrx: So let me look at it like this, you came back after this long break. You made your presence known, got the “welcome back” confetti.. now all of that is settled. You gotta start charging your authority and new methods around. Look alright, I’m just gonna say it like this. I don’t know if it’s a good idea. You haven’t had a match in so long, there’s going to be a glaring apparent mentality from you, who hasn’t been in that ring for so long, as opposed to me, who’s been working his tail end off for a long time now, so.. nah Terry. Not gonna slide with me.
(PJ told Terry straight up, it wasn’t gonna work for him. Well, Terry? he wasn’t going to have that. As he threw PJ Hendrx back towards the wall! PJ laid there thrown off guard and hurt, as Terry was livid.)
Terry Chambers: I’ll put it like this, you’re gonna take this warning. It’s either we win this match, or bad things happen. Listening to me is the best possible thing that can happen for you. Tread my words. Making a name for yourself won’t mean anything when you are standing with me. So get that coursing through your brain where it needs to be.
(Terry walked off, as PJ Hendrx sat there, he was unbelievably pissed off, as he just shook his head.)
PJ Hendrx: “Tread my warning”.. 2 years away gets you an ego huh?
(With that said the camera faded off PJ, and Showdown would fade to a commercial break..)
(We return from commercial break as ‘Old Scars/Future Hearts’ by All Time Low is playing as Raven Roberts has made her way out to ringside and is walking to the commentary table.)
Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Showdown and we are about to be joined by our special guest commentator for this next match. Allow me to welcome the lovely Raven Roberts.
(Raven has her headset on as she takes a seat at the end of the table offering a smile to Deadprez.)
Raven Roberts: Thank you for having me. I am glad to be here.
Gavin Kirkland: Dare I say that Rex McAllister is the luckiest man in the world.
Eve: It is too early for you to be a creeper. Raven, thank you for being here and we can’t wait to get your commentary for this next match. Without further ado, let’s send it to Gina Romano in the ring.
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano who is standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next contest.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest has a TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Ten Ton Hammer’ by Machine Head starts to play as Halsey Neel enters the arena to loud boos from the crowd. Following closely behind is her partner in crime, Pandora Paisley. Neither lady really cares about the crowd reaction as they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Representing DEVOLUTION and accompanied to the ring by Pandora Paisley! From Birmingham, England. Weighing in at 159 pounds. Here is “THE DESPAIR OF DEVOLUTION” HALSEY NEEL!
Deadprez: Here comes Halsey Neel heading to the ring and she is not alone for this match. Halsey also finds herself in the Blind Faith, but not with Pandora Paisley.
Gavin Kirkland: No. She has to team with that psycho bastard from hell Solomon Stane. Be careful, Halsey. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.
Raven Roberts: Don’t worry about her too much. If she doesn’t get beaten down by her own partner, she will get beaten up in the cage if she somehow manages to win. Something about those two that I don’t care for.
Eve: They are not known for playing nice, but Halsey will have to dig down into her bag of tricks should she want to make it through this match.
(Halsey enters the ring and Pandora takes her place at ringside as “STFU!” by Rina Sawayama starts to play. Seconds later, Miku Sakai enters the arena and doesn’t bother playing around as she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent! From Fukui, Japan! Weighing 110 pounds! Here is MIKU SAKAI!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes another beautiful lady in Miku Sakai. She has an attitude, but I kinda like it!
Eve: We found out last week that you will be Miku’s partner in Blind Faith, Raven. Miku pretty much gave you the riot act last week.
Raven Roberts: I don’t know why she got so mad. I will be her partner in the tag team match and work with her. After the match, that might be a different story.
Deadprez: Miku has been itching for another title match. She could get it in a few weeks should she be the last person standing. But tonight, she needs to get through Devolution’s Halsey Neel. Who will win? We’re about to find out!
(Miku enters the ring and takes her corner quickly as her entrance music fades off. The referee checks both competitors as they call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Here we go! Singles action underway as Miku and Halsey go one on one AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY PANDORA TAKES A SWIPE AT MIKU’S LEG AND IMMEDIATELY GETS MIKU’S ATTENTION!
Deadprez: That’s how Devolution likes to play. Strike early and use any advantage they can. Like right now with Miku screaming the riot act to Pandora, who is paying her no mind–
Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY NEEL IMMEDIATELY COMES FROM BEHIND AND CLOBBERS MIKU IN THE BACK OF THE NECK TAKING HER DOWN! You gotta have eyes in the back of your head when you face Devolution.
Raven Roberts: Yeah, but if you have to rely on tricks to win matches all the time, your skills start to feel the effects when you don’t use them as much. They’ll learn.
Deadprez: The bell has just rung and it is already starting to resemble a handicap match of sorts with Pandora on the outside trying to run interference. Right now, Halsey has the early advantage as she picks Miku up AND SLAMS HER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Eve: Miku is quickly back to her feet as Halsey grabs her AND TAKES HER OVER WITH THE T-BONE SUPLEX! What power from Halsey Neel. Underneath those dirty tactics is a very powerful competitor.
Raven Roberts: Yeah, but she is so far up Devolution’s butt that nobody really cares. Then again, from what we’ve seen, there might be some dissension in Devolution.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, Raven. Beautiful and smart. A deadly combination. Right now, Halsey has Miku in place for a German Suplex, BUT MIKU IS FIGHTING IT!
Eve: Will you stop hitting on Raven, you pervert. But you are right about Miku fighting the German Suplex, BUT MIKU GETS HER LEGS AROUND HALSEY’S WAIST! MIKU THROWS A FEW BACK ELBOWS TO GET FREE–
Deadprez: MIKU GETS FREE AND SHE ROLLS THROUGH! Instead of going for the roll up SHE SENDS HALSEY FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT! Creative counter by the former two time champion.
Gavin Kirkland: What Miku lacks in size and power, she makes up for in experience. Halsey is holding her nose in pain as she gets back up to her feet AND MIKU IS RIGHT THERE GRABBING HALSEY BY THE NECK AND TAKING HER OVER WITH A JUMPING SNAPMARE!
Raven Roberts: That’s my tag team partner. Some people might not like her, but I can tolerate her enough to trust in the Blind Faith. She has an attitude, but she can go in the ring.
Eve: They shouldn’t make Miku mad, but I think that went out the window with that stunt that Halsey and Pandora pulled earlier. Halsey is back to her feet AND MIKU WITH A HANDFUL OF HAIR TAKING HALSEY BACK DOWN!
Deadprez: Turnabout is fair play. Halsey took a shortcut, so why can’t Miku do the same thing? Right now Miku has mounted Halsey AND SHE IS USING THE HAIR TO BANG HALSEY’S HEAD OFF THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: There is no need for that. Part of me hates watching these beautiful women hurt each other like that.
Raven Roberts: I can see why you are single now. You are very weird. Halsey shouldn’t have done that to Miku. Now she’s suffering the consequences of her actions.
Deadprez: She is, but the referee is there with a count to tell Miku to let go of the hair. Miku lets the hair go, BUT SHE SNEAKS IN A RIGHT HAND TO THE JAW! I DON’T KNOW IF THE REFEREE SAW THAT!
Eve: Miku got away with one there as she uses the hair to bring Halsey back to her feet and whips her to the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: Halsey hits the turnbuckle as Miku follows up towards the corner AND MIKU RUNS RIGHT INTO A STRAIGHT BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE! HALSEY MIGHT HAVE JUST CLEANED HER CLOCK WITH THAT ONE!
Eve: What a shot from Halsey Neel as she grabs hold of Miku and lifts her up to sit her on the top turnbuckle before climbing up to the top rope herself.
Raven Roberts: She’s about to attempt something either very dangerous or very stupid. In this business, there’s a very fine between the two.
Deadprez: That’s a true statement. Both ladies are in a dangerous spot as Halsey hooks both of Miku’s arms. Miku is now also standing on the top rope–
Gavin Kirkland: AVALANCHE BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! BOTH WOMEN COME CRASHING DOWN! I THINK BOTH WOMEN TOOK DAMAGE FROM THAT SUPERPLEX MOVE!
Eve: Neither woman were moving after impact, but it’s Halsey Neel who startings moving first and she is crawling over to Miku Sakai and manages to get on top of her and hook the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE—
Deadprez: MIKU KICKS OUT AT TWO! NICE NEAR FALL FOR HALSEY NEEL WHO IS DEFINITELY EARNING HER STRIPES IN THIS MATCH TONIGHT!
Raven Roberts: But I had a feeling that Miku was going to kick out after that. She’s a former multiple time champion in EAW and it’s going to take more than just one high impact move to finish someone Miku’s caliber off.
Gavin Kirkland: If I didn’t say it already, let me say that you are so beautiful and so smart Raven.
Deadprez: You can be very nauseating sometimes. If you keep talking like that, Rex is gonna come to Showdown and kick your ass.
Eve: Anyways, Halsey is back to her feet and she picks up Miku and whips her to the ropes. Miku hits the ropes AND PANDORA TAKES A SWIPE AT MIKU ONCE AGAIN–
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU AVOIDS IT AS HALSEY GRABS MIKU AND MIKU SOMEHOW COUNTERS INTO A HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER! HALSEY GOES FOR THE RIDE ACROSS THE RING!
Eve: Halsey is trying to get back to her feet as Miku comes right after her, BUT PANDORA PULLS HALSEY OUT OF THE RING! Why isn’t the referee doing anything about Pandora?
Raven Roberts: Pandora always knows where to be at the right time. Of course it’s almost as natural as breathing for Devolution to interfere in each other’s matches. Sucks to suck that they can’t do that in Blind Faith. Whatever will they do?
Deadprez: Right now, Pandora is pulling Halsey to safety and the crowd is booing the hell out of the team known as the British Invasion. Miku isn’t happy about that at all.
Gavin Kirkland: Watching her partner’s back is a smart strategy. Come over here and I will protect the both of you.
Eve: I really want to hit you right now, you creeper. Miku doesn’t like the constant interference from Pandora. Pandora is giving Halsey a pep talk–
Deadprez: MIKU LAUNCHES HERSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH THE SLINGSHOT SOMERSAULT SENTON AND SHE TAKES BOTH OF THE BRITISH INVASION DOWN TO FLOOR!
Raven Roberts: Never turn your back on an opponent like Miku Sakai. Especially since Miku has a short fuse and the last thing they need to do is get Miku mad if you ask me.
Gavin Kirkland: She does have a bad attitude, but she knows how to utilize it to make her arsenal more impactful. Like how she got a two for one special with that senton move.
Deadprez: Pandora is still down as Miku grabs Halsey with a handful of hair. She isn’t aiming for the apron as she whips Halsey AND HALSEY GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE CORNER POST!
Eve: Did you guys hear that thud when her forehead hit the post. The force could have concussed Halsey. But I give Halsey credit for holding onto the corner post instead of falling to the floor.
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HERE COMES MIKU ONCE AGAIN WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK AND SHE SENDS HALSEY FACE FIRST INTO THE CORNER POST AGAIN!
Raven Roberts: Looks like Miku could be out for blood right now.
Eve: You might be right, Raven. Miku isn’t one to make mad and if the first headshot to the post didn’t knock her silly, the second one had to have.
Deadprez: Halsey might have been knocked loopy as Miku pulls her away from the post before running full speed AND SENDING HALSEY SPINE FIRST INTO THE EDGE OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora is back to her feet and she looks like she is wanting to buck up with Miku, BUT THE REFEREE IS TELLING PANDORA TO BACK IT UP AND GO TO A NEUTRAL SIDE OF THE RING!
Raven Roberts: About time the referees get a backbone towards Devolution. They have got away with too much for far too long. I hope this continues.
Eve: Don’t we all. The referee tells Miku and Halsey to get back into the ring. Miku pulls Halsey back to her feet and whips her to the corner BEFORE FOLLOWING UP WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT TAKES HALSEY DOWN IN THE CORNER!
Deadprez: Miku has Halsey right where she wants her as she backs up to the corner on the opposite side. MIKU RUNS FULL SPEED TO BACK TO HALSEY—
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU WITH A BRONCO BUSTER TO HALSEY NEEL! “MUSTACHE RIDE” FROM MIKU SAKAI! Oh I wish I was Halsey Neel right now. TAG ME IN! TAG ME IN!
Deadprez: Good gawd, calm down! Luckily for Halsey, it won’t be a very long “Mustache Ride” since it is an illegal move and the referee is starting a five count.
Raven Roberts: Well that move was certainly… creative to say the least. I can only wonder what other innovative offense that Miku has.
Eve: Unless your name is Gavin Kirkland, keep it a mystery. But Miku finally does flip out of the corner and breaks the count.
Gavin Kirkland: Damn referees ruin all the good stuff. I could watch that for a good twenty minutes. Anyways, Miku grabs Halsey by the ankle and pulls her right to the center of the ring and hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE!
Eve: OH COME ON! PANDORA PAISLEY AGAIN! PANDORA JUMPS ONTO THE APRON AND THE REFEREE CATCHES HER BEFORE THE REFEREE MAKES THE THREE COUNT!
Raven Roberts: Surprise surprise. They need to do something different. Gets a little redundant don’t you think?
Deadprez: Miku is not happy that the referee stopped the count until she sees Pandora again AND SHE IS GIVING THE RIOT ACT TO PANDORA!
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA AND MIKU ARE JUST YELLING AT EACH OTHER AND MIKU TAKES A SWING AT PANDORA AND PANDORA JUMPS OFF THE APRON WITH A SHIT EATING GRIN ON HER FACE. I wonder if she’s thinking about me.
Eve: No. She isn’t you weirdo. Now Miku turns around AND HALSEY IS RIGHT THERE WITH THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE THAT CATCHES MIKU RIGHT IN THE MOUTH!
Deadprez: MIKU IS STILL ON HER FEET AS SHE BOUNCES INTO THE ROPES! MIKU COMES BACK AND SHE RUNS RIGHT INTO A YAKUZA STYLE KICK!
Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY CALLS THAT “OFF WITH YOUR HEAD”! HALSEY COMPLETES THE COMBINATION AND MIKU FALLS TO THE GROUND IN A HEAP! HALSEY QUICKLY GETS INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEE!
Deadprez: MIKU KICKS OUT AND PANDORA CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
Raven Roberts: Give it up to Miku for the drive she has for victory. I guess I have to keep my eye out for that.
Eve: You certainly will and Halsey is not in a good mood after Miku kicks out. She is mad as she grabs Miku up by the hair and whips her to the ropes.
Gavin Kirkland: Miku barely gets a chance to rebound off the ropes BEFORE HALSEY FIRES OFF A BICYCLE PUMP KICK THAT CATCHES MIKU IN THE JAW!
Eve: Halsey grabs Miku and whips her to the ropes. Miku is in the corner right now AND HALSEY IS FIRING OFF THOSE MUAY THAI KNEE STRIKES TO THE CORNERED MIKU SAKAI!
Deadprez: The referee is telling Halsey to let her out of the corner and she finally listens at the count of four since she was risking disqualification on five. Halsey is pushing her luck.
Raven Roberts: Luck. Blind ignorance. Could go either way.
Gavin Kirkland: Halsey comes back with a chop to the chest AND MIKU DUCKS AT THE LAST SECOND AND HALSEY CHOPS THE TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: Halsey holds her hand in pain as Miku jumps onto the second rope and grabs Halsey’s head. MIKU JUMPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND SPIKES HALSEY DOWN WITH THE TORNADO DDT!
Deadprez: Halsey was spiked right on her head with that DDT and Miku quickly mounts Halsey AND SHE IS JUST POUNDING ON HALSEY NEEL!
Raven Roberts: There’s that viciousness coming out again. I don’t think this match is going to last much longer at this rate.
Gavin Kirkland: I hope not. I would love for this match to go on for the rest of the show. That would be the best thing ever.
Deadprez: Did you forget that this match has a time limit? This match can’t go on for the rest of the show. Sorry to burst your bubble. As I break Gavin’s spirit, the referee tells Miku to stop with the fists.
Eve: The referee starts another count and Miku stops with the closed fists on four. Instead of backing up, she pulls Halsey back to her feet by the hair BEFORE SHE CLAWS HALSEY RIGHT IN THE EYES!
Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY HAD A LITTLE TASTE OF “CAT SCRATCH FEVER” AND HALSEY IS CLAWING AT HER EYES TO GET THE STING OUT AS MIKU HITS THE ROPES–
Eve: MIKU COMES BACK AND HITS HALSEY WITH THE JUMPING HIP ATTACK SENDING HALSEY DOWN! HALSEY’S HEAD ONCE AGAIN CRACKS AGAINST THE APRON!
Raven Roberts: That must be some more of that innovative offense from Miku Sakai.
Gavin Kirkland: I WISH THAT WAS ME TOO! HOW MUCH DOES A MAN HAVE TO PAY IN ORDER TO GET THAT SORT OF TREATMENT?
Eve: You need some serious counseling after hearing crap like that.
Deadprez: Let’s get back to the match. Halsey is still down as Miku drags her over to the corner BEFORE CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: I THINK MIKU IS READY TO FINISH THE MATCH RIGHT HERE!
Eve: Miku is motioning for Halsey to get back to her feet. I think Miku is going to try for her “Walk of Shame” stunner. If she hits it, this match will be over—
Deadprez: PANDORA PAISLEY ONCE AGAIN JUMPS ON THE APRON AND THAT LEADS TO MIKU GETTING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND BRINGING PANDORA INTO THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA IS BACKING UP AND THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO GET THIS MATCH BACK ON TRACK–
Eve: HALSEY NEEL FROM BEHIND AND NOW BOTH HALSEY AND PANDORA ARE BEATING DOWN ON
Raven Roberts: Those two would much rather do crap like this instead of losing the match. What an unfair assault.
Deadprez: That’s what they are all about. Halsey and Pandora are putting the boots to Miku and the referee is having a hell of a time trying to restore order and I think the referee has had enough.
Referee: (off-mic) THAT’S IT! RING THE BELL! RING THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The crowd is booing the sound of the bell ringing as Pandora and Halsey continue talking as the referee quickly informs Gina Romano of the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has informed me that they have thrown out this contest, meaning this match has been declared a NO CONTEST!
Deadprez: This was a great match we were watching, but Miku was on the verge of victory. Pandora just couldn’t keep her nose out of the match and it led to the referee having no choice but to throw the match out.
Eve: It’s honestly no surprise to me that Devolution has to go back to the numbers game and now it’s a two on one assault against Miku Sakai.
Raven Roberts: Yeah…no. That’s enough of that crap.
(A small thud is heard on the announce table as Raven Roberts leaves the announce table and heads right to the ring.)
Eve: Raven Roberts has just left the announce table. She just slid into the ring AND SHE JUST DROP KICKED PANDORA PAISLEY! RAVEN IS ACTUALLY HELPING MIKU OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: FOUR BEAUTIFUL WOMEN BATTLING IT OUT AND IT LOOKS LIKE MIKU AND RAVEN ARE GETTING THE UPPER HAND AGAINST THE BRITISH INVASION!
Deadprez: THESE FOUR ARE JUST BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE MIKU AND RAVEN HAVE MANAGED TO SEND THEM OUT OF THE RING TO GET OUT OF DODGE!
Eve: Now Pandora and Halsey are heading back to the house and leaving up the entrance ramp trying to hold each other back from following this any more, as future partners stand tall.
Gavin Kirkland: I hate to see them go, but I love to watch them leave.
(As Miku and Raven were watching Pandora and Halsey go up the entrance ramp, Raven turns around RIGHT INTO A RIGHT HOOK FROM MIKU SAKAI!)
Eve: WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT? MIKU JUST CLOCKED RAVEN IN THE FACE WITH THAT PUNCH!
(Raven is looking up at Miku with complete shock on her face as Miku just glares at Raven as she leaves the ring and heads up the entrance ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: Why would that brute haul off and punch the beautiful Raven Roberts in the face? How cruel of her to do that.
Eve: Will you quit? I just wonder what’s going on inside of Miku’s head.
Deadprez: This is going to be interesting considering Raven and Miku will have to tag together in a few weeks. Hopefully they will be able to work something out before their match takes place.
(The final shot shows Raven holding her jaw as she is sitting down in the middle of the ring while Miki is walking up the entrance ramp glaring down at Raven before the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(Showdown came back from commercials before switching towards backstage, where Kyra Phillips was standing there adjusting her microphone and making sure she looked good before the camera, and once the camera man gave her the signal to start talking, she cleared her throat and then spoke up.)
Kyra Phillips: Goodnight to all of you from backstage! I am Kyra Phillips once again bringing you an exciting interview with one of your Showdown Elitists, this time I am joined by one of the trusted representatives of Disney, changing her presentation in a wild way and showing all of the little girls around the world that your dream to become a princess can become a reality, please welcome, Princess Candice Blair!
(The camera panned towards the side where Princess Candice walked in with an incredibly annoyed expression on her face, as she was pretty much welcomed in by the crowd who was watching from the titantron with boos. She turned incredibly confused for a moment hearing the reaction but then she decided to focus on Kyra and try her best to not pay attention to it.)
Kyra Phillips: Thank you for joining me, Princess Candice! How are you feeling?
Princess Candice: Sigh. As best as I can, Kyra. 😔
Kyra Phillips: Is there anything particular that is bothering you?
Princess Candice: OF COURSE I AM BOTHERED- Sorry, sorry. A princess should not have those kinds of outbursts. Phew. Deep breaths. Okay, I am better now. Obviously, I am not in the best mood right now, after being so close from winning the Specialists Championship and then being beaten by that black and white bitch who somehow, someway, resisted the spell of the apple, having all of the princesses train as hard as they could and having all of their hard work be for nothing? It broke my heart, and it definitely made me even more sadder than I wasn’t able to achieve the championship that I wanted. I am left completely without Disney energy, moping around without any hope to look towards the future, before Alana suddenly entered my locker room and she reached my heart with her words, to not give up hope despite the heavy loss that I suffered at King of Elite, to keep my head up despite all of the bad luck that I have endured and continue to fight as the great representative for Disney that I am! So she gave me the opportunity to be able to fight at Blind Faith, I did not know what it was about, I was a bit scared because the name sounded kind of spooky but when I heard that the chance to go for a championship was on the line excited me, there was just the small hurdle of having to team with someone who I couldn’t choose. Either way, I kept my hopes up and I knew that whatever God the Disney universe has would look down upon me to give me happiness and prosperity!
Princess Candice: …Teaming with Madison Kaline is not what I wanted! 🙂
Princess Candice: Why would I be happy about having to team with an ungrateful, egotistical and somehow even more wrinkly than the old Wicked Witch of the West woman? I don’t want to be seen teaming with a bi-… a very unkind person like Madison Kaline! She is very much not fit to team up with a Disney Princess in the first place, and I would like to send a demand of sorts to make me team with all of the other poor wrestlers in Showdown who didn’t get their name picked to participate in this match, see? I don’t have to team with someone like Madison and we give the opportunity to another wrestler that deserves it, it is a win-win for everybody!
Kyra Phillips: Uhm, I am not sure that is possible in the first place Candice-
Princess Candice: THERE HAS TO BE A WAY- I am sorry, I am sorry, I lost my cool once again, I can’t be doing that toooo much, happy thoughts, unicorns, rainbows. Okay then! Now, I am going to try my best to make this go smoothly despite me not wanting to be involved in something like this that much. I need to win, get another title shot after that and be able to get a championship to my name to keep inspiring all of the other little girls that watch Disney. Madison may be out for herself but with the power of magic and believing in yourself we will-
???: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ABOUT ME???
(Princess Candice’s eyes widen as the camera quickly turns over to the side and someone suddenly rushes in, and of course, knowing how this usually goes, it was clear it was Madison Kaline! Princess Candice lets out a groan while Madison annoyingly waves her finger at her.)
Madison Kaline: You think you can just talk trash about me while I have my back turned towards you and I am not paying attention, how dare you?! You think I am happy about this whole team up as well? Literally the for the past two months I have just been trying to get my single’s match with bird brain but then some spooky girl from Kentucky interferes in the attempt of that match and she steals that opportunity away from me, and then, when I try to get the match again, Terry Chambers just decides to come out of nowhere, attack the two of us and threaten to take me the hell out, and I will not be able to concentrate on that either because now I will be forced… TO TEAM WITH YOU! You think I am not suffering here either? You are beneath me and there is NO WAY I am going to end up teaming with you!
Princess Candice: Well, it looks like someone needs a bit of Disney sparkle every now and then.
Madison Kaline: And YOU need to learn some manners and respect the rest of the people around you!
Princess Candice: Me?! Learn and respect?!
(Princess Candice this time raises her hand and slaps away Madison’s hand, as she raises her own finger at her.)
Princess Candice: How can you accuse a Disney Princess of something like that??? When I am the representation of all of the beautiful things that exist in this world, while you are just an old hag who continues to whine and get angry about everyone else?
(Madison slaps Candice’s hand away this time.)
Madison Kaline: Did you not see what you did last week?! I came out to try and talk with you after the loss that you suffered, I wanted to motivate you and give you a helping hand to try and support you but out of nowhere you just punched me in the face without reason!
(Candice slaps Madison’s hand.)
Princess Candice: Liar liar pants on fire! You are someone to not be trusted at all after all of the evil you have pulled around here, frankly, if I am being honest, you are just downright annoying!
(Madison slaps Candice’s hand.)
Madison Kaline: WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME ANNOYING WHEN YOU ARE PRETENDING TO BE A DISNEY PRINCESS?!
(Candice slaps her hand away again!)
Princess Candice: STOP SLAPPING MY HAND AWAY!
(Madison slaps her hand away for like the eight time!)
Madison Kaline: YOU STOP!
Princess Candice: NO, YOU!
Madison Kaline: NOOOO, YOUUU!
(The two of them then resort to slapping their hands while pulling their heads away like in those cartoons, going at it for a bit before another voice suddenly rings out in the room.)
???: LADIES, PLEASE!
(Madison and Princess Candice quickly stop fighting and then turn their heads towards the voice, who turns out to be Alana Starr! She looks at them with a disappointed expression and slowly shakes her head as she walks in front of the camera.)
Alana Starr: This is not a GOOD way to get along, not at all! It is inevitable we are going to see chaos between all of our elitists in the next few weeks, but when it comes to our Disney Representative? I have to step in and make sure nothing bad happens to her, so that is why moving forward the two of you will support one another and the two of you will be in each other’s corners when booked to wrestle, like… right now tonight!
Princess Candice: But Alana!
Alana Starr: No but’s Princess!
Madison Kaline: WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FORCE ME THROUGH THIS?! This is just another ploy from Kennedy to screw me over, isn’t it??? I KNOW IT IS!
Alana Starr: Oh Madison, that ship has already sailed waaaaaay ago, two months ago in fact, so I suggest you be GOOD and shut up. Let’s go Princess Candice!
(Alana quickly turns around and walks away, as Princess Candice sticks her tongue out angrily at Madison before following after Alana. Madison is left there fuming and almost lashing out at Kyra Phillips next to her before Showdown fades away to commercials.)
(As Showdown returns, the camera settles on Gina Romano ready to introduce the next match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“KARATE” by BABYMETAL begins to play over the speakers as Kasai enters the arena to a mixture of cheers and boos and by her side, Usagi Senshi. Kasai struts down to the ring with a smirk on her face, meanwhile Senshi glares down “The Huntress” with evil intentions.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST….HAILING FROM AMANI, KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN…WEIGHING IN AT 145 POUNDS….SHE IS “THE HUNTRESS”…..KAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII!!!!
(The mixed reaction continues as Kasai makes her way to the ring. As The Huntress continues to enter the ring, she strikes one final pose. “KARATE” by BABYMETAL fades away only to be replace by ‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff)
(As the music picks up, Madison Kaline enters the arena with a menacing look on her face. Candice Blair quickly follows, giving a happy wave to the fans.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT….HAILING FROM TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA…WEIGHING IN AT 120 POUNDS….HE IS “THE MISTRESS OF DEATH” ….. MMMMMMMMMMAAAAADDDDDISSSOOOOONNNNNNNN… KAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLIIIIIINNNNNEEEEE!!!
(Kaline makes her way to the ring with a confident demeanor. She enters the ring and strikes a confident pose. The referee quickly separates the competitors and calls for the bell.)
(DING DING DING)
Eve: Here we go! Both women tying up in the center of the ring, each attempting to power the other into the corner… but Kasai delivers a Fireman’s Carry to Madison and attempts a chin lock but Madison scrambles to the ropes early so the referee has to step in.
Gavin Kirkland: Brilliant move by Kaline, there. She saw some danger when The Huntress was attempting to take it to the ground and decided that wouldn’t be the best option.
Deadprez: Kaline is running for her life but it was a smart choice to get to the ring as soon as possible. Kasai is known to break some people down and there’s no better way to avoid it than keep some distance and use the ring to your advantage.
Eve: The referee is separating both women from each other but it seems like Kasai isn’t going to be done there… HOTSHOT FROM KALINE! Dropping Kasai’s throat across the top rope and now it looks like Kaline might be in charge of this one.
Gavin Kirkland: Brilliant move by the “Mistress of Death” she’s looking to gain some more momentum here… driving both feet directly into the chest of Kasai, driving the air out of “The Huntress” a shotgun dropkick like that will leave you gasping for air for the next week.
Deadprez: Kasai is scrambling back to her feet… going for a roundhouse kick… but Madison ducks… GERMAN SUPLEX SENDS Kasai CRASHING DOWN! Kasai FIGHTING UP TO HER FEET AGAIN… ONLY TO GET DROPPED AGAIN WITH A TORNADO DDT OFF OF THE ROPES!
Eve: Madison Kaline is on fire with this one… but she doesn’t seem to be bothered… she’s taking time to gloat rather than just going for the pin… what a pathetic display of arrogance! Wait, she’s going off of the ropes once again… springboard… MOONSAULT!!! THE LIONSAULT CONNECTS, DRIVING THE WIND OUT OF Kasai ONCE AGAIN… COVER FROM MADISON!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRR—
Eve: Kasai GETS THE LEFT SHOULDER UP! Kasai IS STILL IN THIS ONE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: We’re not that long into this match and Madison just about had this one in the bag! Kasai really needs to get something going or “The Mistress of Death” is going to make short work of her!
Deadprez: I think that’s exactly what Maddy is looking to do here… measuring Kasai for ‘Afterlife’ that Lariat that has taken out many before…
Eve: Kasai ducks the lariat… Madison continues off of the ropes… SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX FROM Kasai… NOW THE HUNTRESS IS RUNNING OFF OF THE ROPES…
Gavin Kirkland: PENALTY KICK FROM Kasai TO THE BEAUTIFUL FACE OF MADISON!!! WHAT KIND OF MONSTER WOULD DO THAT!?
Deadprez: Oh calm down, it’s just a shot to the face, Madison has been around and taken a lot more than that…
Gavin Kirkland: Madison is scrambling to get out of the ring, trying desperately to gain any space she can. But Candice Blair is quick to get into the woman she accompanied to the ring’s face. Candice and Madison are face to face but we can see Kasai sneaking behind Kaline…
Eve: Running PK to the hea— NO! KALINE CAUGHT THE LEG… GOODNESS!!! A DRAGON SCREW FROM KALINE TO Kasai SENDS “THE HUNTRESS” TO THE FLOOR!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THANK GOD! A KICK LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE RUINED THE BEAUTIFUL LOOKS OF MADISON… AND OUR STREAMING NUMBERS SIMPLY CAN’T TAKE A HIT LIKE THAT!
Deadprez: Would you be serious for one moment!? This match is important!
Eve: You’ve got that right, Prez, especially since Kaline is sending Kasai back into the ring and possibly looking to end this one quickly. She’s measuring her opponent… ‘M.O.D’ INCOMING…. But Kasai backs out… waistlock… looking for a German Suplex… but Kaline keeping her feet on the ground…
Gavin Kirkland: She’s trying to break the hold of Kasai in the waistlock… Go-behind by Kaline… Ger—
Deadprez: NO! Kasai ROLLS OUT AND LOCKS IN THE KNEEBAR! KALINE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN, LOOKING FOR ANY ESCAPE…
Eve: A lock like that can tear an ACL, Strain an MCL, and pull a PCL… Kaline is about two or three solid cranks from Kasai away from being put on the shelf…
Gavin Kirkland: But the ever resourceful Madison Kaline finds the most effective and immediate solution… the bottom rope…
Deadprez: Gav, you’re drooling, Kaline managed to scramble to the rope, not discover the black hole theory. Kasai breaks the hold… BUT DELIVERS A STRAIGHT KICK TO THE WRIST OF KALINE!
Gavin Kirkland: What a dirty move by Kasai! Who stomps on a person’s arm when they’re defenseless!?
Deadprez: Madison Kaline…
Gavin Kirkland: How dare you!? She is an angel! An angel of death, but an angel nonetheless!
Eve: While you two are bickering… Kasai is looking to put this one away… she just pulled Madison into the center of the ring… looking to lock in that key lock…
Deadprez: But Kaline using her flexibility to her advantage… getting up and avoiding the torque… SUPLEX FROM KALINE!
Gavin Kirkland: You guys have to admit, that’s a fantastic counter, sending Kasai head over heels with that suplex and avoiding that submission!
Eve: It was a great counter but now she’s taking too much time gloating about it! This could be the main issue with Madison, she tends to take too much time to smirk and show off.
Deadprez: But she’s still in control… looking to deliver something big as she’s pulling Kasai back to her feet… and DROPS HER WITH A NECKBREAKER!
Eve: Maddie is scrambling up the turnbuckles with her back to Kasai… MADDIE BOM— KASAI GOT HER FEET UP!!! Kaline just took both of Kasai’s feet to the mouth and stumbled back into the corner… Here comes Kasai… forearm to the face… snapmare… SOCCER KICK TO THE SPINE!
Gavin Kirkland: Kasai is on fire but I know that Maddie will be more than willing to extinguish that fire…
Eve: But Kasai isn’t done there… she’s going off the ropes… and delivers a sliding knee to the face of Kaline… off the ropes again… low leg drop across the throat… and before any more damage can be done… Kaline once again scrambles out of the ring.
Deadprez: Kaline is the Queen of Gaining Space here tonight. She’s been scrambling as quickly as possible to gain some distance… but I don’t think Kasai is going to let this one slide… off the ropes… AND OUT OF THE RING WITH A BRUTAL WRECKING BALL DROPKICK!
Eve: A maneuver like that would usually knock someone into the barricade but it looks like Madison only got grazed by it… and now Usagi Senshi is getting in Kasai’s face… All of these women are not fans of each other but Kasai and Senshi seem to almost be coming to blows… but here’s Kaline to stop that dead in its tracks.
Gavin Kirkland: Madison with an irish whip, sending Kasai spine-first into the barricade… AND A SHOTGUN DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF KASAI! But she’s not done there… she’s angling herself and Kasai with the steps… AND DELIVERS A SNAP SUPLEX INTO THE STEEL STEPS! KASAI’S SPINE AND LEGS JUST CRASHED INTO THE STEPS!
Deadprez: Great resourcefulness from Maddie there… Kasai might be struggling to stand, let alone use those legs for power. But she has to remember that the referee is still counting…
Referee (off-mic): SIX!!!!! SEVEN!!!!
Eve: Kaline throws Kasai back into the ring and follows her opponent in… but once again… no pin…
Gavin Kirkland: She’s just taking her time because she knows that’s not enough… She knows that she needs to beat Kasai both physically and mentally. Now, Kaline is looking to put this one out… pulling Kasai up… off the ropes… Kasai missing a lariat…
Deadprez: Kaline off the ropes again… SPEAR! “The Mistress of Death” just tried to cut Kasai in half! Kaline scrambling up the top rope again… MADDIE BOMB INCOMING!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BAM! IT CONNECTS! COVER!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRR—
Deadprez: KICKOUT!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I can’t believe it and neither can Maddie! She has been keeping Kasai on the back foot this entire match and somehow Kasai just keeps getting up!
Eve: It’s almost like Kasai is a strong competitor. But it looks like Maddie might be measuring Kasai for something big… ‘Afterlife’ incoming… NO… KASAI DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE… MADDIE TURNS… RIGHT INTO A HIP TOSS!
Deadprez: Kasai measuring Kaline now… elbow to the face… and another… and another… SPINNING BACK KICK TO THE STOMACH! AND AN AXE KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Kaline is dazed… ROLLING ELBOW TO THE FACE! Kasai is on fire!
Eve: Kaline is staggered… falling into the ropes… TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER FROM KASAI! COVER!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHHRRREEEE—
Eve: MADISON GETS THE RIGHT SHOULDER UP…
Deadprez: But Kasai isn’t done… locking in the Cross Armbreaker… Madison Kaline is in deep deep trouble here!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison is working on gripping that extended arm. The faster she can alleviate that pressure. She has to grip her own wrist and get a base under her…
Eve: But can she do that against Kasai? She’s trying to roll inward…
Deadprez: But Kaline had to use the bottom rope to officially break the hold. Kasai might be able to lock in those submissions but Kaline has the ring IQ to break the holds as quickly as possible. This is a fantastic match-up but I couldn’t tell you who is going to be the victor. Kasai is trying to pull Madison back into the center of the ring…
Gavin Kirkland: But like a pitbull, Maddie is refusing to release her hold… instead she’s going out onto the apron… both women are trying to pull the other towards their respective area… OH! And Madison is the victor! She pulled Kasai throat first into the top rope! Driving the air out of Kasai…
Eve: Here comes Maddie again, she’s measuring her opponent… HURRICANRANA! Kasai sent rolling into the corner… here comes Maddie… but Kasai gets her boot up…
Deadprez: CAUGHT! Kaline pulls her out of the corner… JUST TO SEND “THE HUNTRESS” BACK INTO THE CORNER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Another great move by Madison Kaline! Pulling Kasai by her right arm… RIGHT INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!!!
Eve: Now Pulling Kasai back to a seated position… off the ropes… CROSSBODY BY MADDIE! She’s not done… springboard off the rope… LIONSAULT INCOMING… JESUS!!!!
Deadprez: Kasai just drove both feet into Kaline’s face! Maddie lands on her feet but she’s stumbled… off the rope… SPEAR FROM MADISON KALINE!!!! SHE CAUGHT KASAI GETTING TO HER FEET… BOTH WOMEN ARE ROCKED…
Eve: This match is insanely back and forth… Kasai and Kaline are both making sure the other knows they’ve been in a fight… but whoever gets to their feet first might be the winner here…
Deadprez: Both women are stiring slowly, looking for the ropes to pull themselves up… Maddie gets to her feet first… SPEA– NO… SIDESTEPPED BY KASAI… ROLLING ELBOW TO MADISON! PUMP KICK… MADISON BOUNCES CHEST FIRST OFF OF THE ROPES… ARGENTINE RACK FROM KASAI…
Gavin Kirkland: MEEEEGGGTSSSSSUUUUUUNNNAAAAAMMM— NO KALINE WITH THE WHEELBARROW REVERSAL… GOING BACK UP… TORNADO DDT TO KASAI… AND “THE HUNTRESS” FALLS OUT OF THE RING…
Eve: Are we going to see Maddie dive… wait… she’s running up the turnbuckle… SWANTON TO KASAI ON THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: A modified version of a typical Tope Con Hilo there… Madison is fired up and Kasai is feeling the brunt of her fury here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: Never thought I’d get the chance to say that I saw Madison Kaline fall from the sky but she just put her body on the line to put away some tough competition.
Eve: Kasai is dragging herself up using the apron… BUT KALINE JUST SLAPPED THE TASTE OUT OF HER MOUTH… AND DROPPED HER ON THE FLOOR WITH A NECKBREAKER!
Deadprez: Kasai is rocked, from what I can see, she’s got those glassy eyes. Kaline is not letting that foggy expression clear as she’s looking to keep the pressure. Kaline is pulling Kasai up to her feet… just to send her back in the ri—
Eve: WOAH! Kasai just used the momentum of Kaline’s throw to kick Madison in the head… Kasai hops to the apron… AND DELIVERS A SLIDING KNEE TO THE SIDE OF “THE MISTRESS OF DEATH’S” HEAD! Madison is rocked… Kasai sends her back into the ring…
Gavin Kirkland: Madison stumbles to her feet… only to be met with a calf kick from Kasai… both women back up… AND ANOTHER CALF KICK FROM KASAI…. BACK UP… KALINE WITH THE RIGHT HA— NO, HAMMERLOCK FROM KASAI DRAGGING HER OPPONENT DOWN… STOMP TO THE CHICKEN-WINGED ARM! KASAI IS LOOKING TO SNAP A WING OFF OF MADISON HERE TONIGHT!
Deadprez: Kaline is writhing in pain… but it looks like Kasai isn’t close to done… she’s pulling Maddie back up… looking for the ‘Starbomb’… Crucifix position… but Madison drops down… NECKBREAKER FROM KALINE! Beautiful counter from Madison there!
Eve: Great counter but she needs to capitalize rather than smirking and gloating… She needs to pull out a huge move and put this one away!
Gavin Kirkland: Give her just a moment! She’ll put this one away soon enough! In fact, she’s looking for something big by putting Kasai on the top rope… maybe looking for a Superplex… both women look to be in a precarious position… Superplex incoming… OHHH—
Eve: Wait… Kasai has a hold of the top turnbuckle, holding on tightly… What could possibly happen here… wait… Kasai with a forearm… And another… and another… Kaline is rocked… off the turnbuckle stumbles Madison.
Deadprez: Kasai looking for something but Kaline is quick to grab the leg, Kasai kicks her off. Back kick as Kaline charges again… WOAH!
Gavin Kirkland: Kaline just delivered a modified schoolboy, driving Kasai down… Cover…
Eve: REF HER FEET ARE ON THE ROPES!!!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THHHHHHRREEE—
Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE BLAIR JUST SHOVED MADISON’S FEET OFF THE ROPES…
Deadprez: Kaline cannot believe it and is screaming at Blair! Kasai is back to her feet…
Eve: Urai’s Curse!!!! The Skull Kick slumps Madison the canvas in a heap! COVER!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING DING DING)
Deadprez: And there you have it folks! Kasai has defeated Madison Kaline!
(“KARATE” by BABYMETAL blasts over the speaker as Kasai rises to her feet as the crowd cheers somewhat. She has her hand raised by the referee. As Kasai celebrates, the camera catches a glimpse of Maddie being helped to the back after a kick to the skull as the scene fades to a commercial break.)
(‘As Showdown returns from the commercial break, Tupac Back by Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross hits over the PA system, the entire arena getting to their feet as Cy Henderson appears at the top of the rampway and starts milling the reaction. This only serves to make the noise even louder, which of course is the desired effect.)
Deadprez: Cy Henderson, an absolute legend, making his appearance here on Showdown, and these fans loving every single minute.
Eve: Never mind them loving it Prez, I reckon Cy is loving it as well.
Gavin Kirkland: And why shouldn’t he, this is the best brand in the world.
(Cy nods a thank you to the fans, before then starting to make his way down to the ring, stopping to interact with some of the crowd along the way. At the ring, he walks up the steps and through the strands, before leaning over and taking a microphone from one of the crew.)
Deadprez: Cy Henderson seemingly with something to say
Gavin Kirkland: Do you think? Would be a boring show if they came out, waved a little and then headed to the back. Of course, he has something to say. And I for one wouldn’t mind listening, thank you very much.
Eve: Are you OK Gavin? Male menopause?
Gavin Kirkland: That is not a laughing matter.
Deadprez: Nah, he’s just always like this. Could be worse.
Eve: I don’t know how.
(Cy holds his hand up, and his music starts to fade, but the fans still cheer for him. Eventually though, the noise dies down, at least enough for him to speak, and he brings the microphone to his lips.)
Cy Henderson: Wow, that was quite the welcome. Thank you for that.
(This gets another roar of approval from the crowd.)
Cy Henderson: And can I just say what it is to be here on the blue brand, and in amongst some of the highest caliber of athletes in the world. I mean, that might not have been said after the draft, but I think it’s become clear that Kennedy Street has assembled a roster that is at its hungriest, every single one of them wanted to make a name for themselves. Or at least, that’s the case for the majority.
(He paces the ring a little, letting the crowd hang on to his every word.)
Deadprez: I think I’ve got a feeling where this is going.
Cy Henderson: I mean, I can feel it, in this arena, that something is building here on Showdown. I can feel it in the locker rooms, the way people look at you as if you are their prey or something. It’s impressive. And that’s why I am out here tonight. See, Blind Faith and Reasonable Doubt is just around the corner. And that event, well it’s quite the opportunity, isn’t it? I look at my partner, Scott Diamond…
(A few boos ring out, which brings a smile to Cy’s face, but he continues regardless.)
Cy Henderson: …and I see a man who has clearly lost his focus. I mean look at this guy, a man who has seen, done, and indeed WON it all. And yet, he is losing to people that many would say don’t even deserve to share the same ring. Like I said, this is an opportunity for me, and I look at Pandora Paisley and Daryl Kinkade, and I see hunger. I see desire. I see two people who have put themselves on the same page, with one clear goal. What I see… is a threat.
Deadprez: No question about that, Kennedy herself seemed to love that team when it came together, and they are a lot of people’s favorites to advance.
Cy Henderson: I stand here, knowing that WE need to find common ground if are to succeed. I need Scott to know that I am not playing games, and neither should here. So Scott, don’t mess around… and get your ass out here so that we can talk. I know… sorry, I don’t believe you are stupid, so come to this ring, right now.
(Cy stands looking at the entranceway and is left waiting for a few moments. Finally, ‘In the Air Tonight’ by Phil Collins hits, and Scott Diamond shortly afterwards appears on the staging, looking at no one but Cy. Cy motions for Scott to walk down the ramp, and Scott does exactly that.)
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know about you guys, but calling Scott Diamond out has never been the best idea.
Eve: Especially with the run of bad luck he’s been on of late.
(Scott reaches the ring, and nips under the bottom rope, before getting to his feet. He walks straight past Cy, as his music fades. He grabs a mic and then turns to Cy, who lifts the mic, but Scott interrupts.)
Scott Diamond: Who the hell do you think you are?
(Boos ring out over the crowd, but Scott doesn’t care, he’s only focused on Cy. Cy goes to answer, but again Scott interrupts.)
Scott Diamond: No, don’t answer… I think we have all heard enough from you tonight. Let me make something abundantly clear, here on Showdown, the roster knows that I don’t play by any ‘rules’ especially when they are being set by an outsider. Nobody asked you to come to Showdown…
Cy Henderson: Well, actually Kenn…
Scott Diamond: I swear, you interrupt me again, and I’ll shove that microphone where the sun doesn’t shine.
Cy Henderson: I don’t care what you think Scott, I am here to win. And whether you see it as rules, or not. We need to be on the same page because I am here to win.
Scott Diamond: Uh huh…
(Scott turns to walk away, but then suddenly swings his right hand, catching Cy full on the jaw and sending him backwards towards the ropes. As Cy rebounds back off them, Scott lifts him up across the chest and drops him with a vicious spine buster, driving the air from his lungs. With Cy laid out, and the fans going mental, Scott bends down so that he is over the fallen Cy.)
Scott Diamond: THAT is how much I care about what you think.
(Scott then drops the mic on Cy’s chest and leaves the ring as his music hits again.)
Deadprez: Scott Diamond making it pretty clear what he thinks about Cy Henderson tonight on Showdown. And with this, have Cy Henderson’s hopes of winning Blind Faith gone up in smoke?
Gavin Kirkland: I’d say that’s a given Prez, but surely so has Scott’s?
Eve: I think Scott sees this as an opportunity, but an opportunity he can take on his own. But Daryl and Pandora will be difficult opponents, and I’m not sure he can. Has he just made a massive mistake not taking Cy’s olive branch
Deadprez: We’ll have to wait and see, but you have to think… Daryl and Pandora will be licking their lips at them, potentially getting a clear shot at the Blind Faith.
(We watch Scott as he walks through the curtain not even looking back, before then cutting Cy’s face as he starts to come to, his shock turning to anger before our eyes as it fades backstage to the offices of the General Manager, Kennedy Street.)
(Backstage….
The camera transitions into Kennedy Street’s office where she is standing there with Alana Starr, her assistant General Manager, we also see AJAX with his arms folded standing in the corner. Across from the General Manager is a list of talented Elitists that were not chosen for the Blind Faith. We see Delilah Rose, Clayton Golde, Damien Kutcher, Mattias Burke, Jane Chrissty, Jade Phoenix, and Daniela Steele. They do not know why they are there, but Kennedy walks around her office and leans against the front.)
Kennedy Street: As you all know, Kenie asked for all of you to meet me in my office. Last week I picked the names out for Blind Faith and obviously the wait… 1…2…3…
Alana Starr: Seven, Kennie.
Kennedy Street: Yes…. Seven, was getting to that Alana. The seven of you are without a match at Reasonable Doubt and to be fair, Kennie believes in giving all of her roster members a chance and this is yours. Looking at the Elitists in the room, most of you just want a chance, some of you had a chance and the rest are looking for traction. So, Kennie had to think for a moment what would be the best option for Reasonable doubt. Kennie believes that you are the future of Showdown, and those involved in Blind Faith, including the title matches that are also taking place.
(Kennedy starts to pace a little as the seven Elitists look on, waiting to see what is going on.)
Kennedy Street: And Kennie knows how important it is to showcase all the incredible talent on Showdown because this is the land of opportunity. And while Voltage is having an electrified version of this match, I feel like the seven of you should get the opportunity at what Kennie likes to title… THE CALL YOUR OWN SHOT MATCH.
(The Elitists look at one another a bit confused. But Kennedy is all smiles as she looks over at Alana who nods in approval.)
Kennedy Street: The concept is simple, Kennie will hang a blank contract above the ring, It will be a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. The first person to get the contract gets a shot at any title they choose at Fighting Spirit. Do, are we all interested, honey?
Delilah Rose: Yes, I’m bloody interested and I’m taking that contract because everyone knows that I should be in Blind Faith.
Jane Chrissty: You? Should be in Blind Faith, with all due respect, you barely win and the last match you were in, was a disqualification. Far as I am concerned Kennedy is gifting you this.
Delilah Rose: Oh really, what have you done….
(Kennedy though quickly cuts them off.)
Kennedy Street: Ladies…. Ladies…. Not in Kennie’s office. If you want to fight, next week on Showdown, it is all yours, Now please….
Clayton Golde: Hold on love, Damien and have issues too, and he shouldn’t be in this match either, and Jade too? Come on Kennie, they haven’t done anything to warrant this, and this masked loser…. Mattias Burke, what has he done? Daniella here is a cutie but just cause she is nice to look at, does she really belong in this match? All I see is the losers bracket and then me.
(Kennedy looks amused.)
Damien Kutcher: Really? Clayton, you’re nothing but a bum, bruh. See,. You’re a hero in your own mind, so I don’t know what the hell you are talking about because if there is anyone that is a loser here, it is you. Jade and I, we know wassup and what we need to do in order to win, but after last week, you are punk and I will be happy to beat your ass at Reasonable Doubt.
Clayton Goode: Mate…. Shut the hell up.
Daniella Atlas: Why are you two even talking about this? Nobody cares what you do to each other, that shouldn’t be our problem, but yours. Far as I’m concerned, the only person that is legit to win this match, is me.
Jade Phoenix: Says this bitch. Girl please, back up for a second because there is no one here taking you all serious right now and you are probably the least deserving of anyone in this match. Women like me deserve it more than you so why don’t you pipe down and stop acting like you deserve this spot.
(Daniella walks right up to Jade as they are now nose to nose.)
Daniella Atlas: See, I do deserve this spot and done far more than anyone else in this room since I started here, so why don’t you calm your tits and stop acting like you’re a badass. All of you even. Far as I am concerned, the only person in this match that is going to call her shot is me.
(Kennedy just looks on, though now she is starting to get annoyed. She looks over at AJAX and signals him to get everyone out.)
AJAX: OKAY…. EVERYONE GET OUT! KENNEDY STREET HAS DEMANDED THAT YOU LEAVE HER OFFICE!
(Daniella is still arguing with Jade, Damien and Clayton are still going at it, while Delilah Rose is jaw-jacking with Jane Chrissly. As they finally are out of her office, Kennedy finally sighs and lets out a deep breath but Alana catches her attention.)
Alana Starr: Ahem….
Kennedy Street: What is it, honey?
Alana Starr: We have a guest still.
(Kennedy turns and sees Mattias Burke still standing there.)
Kennedy Street: What are you still doing here, honey?
Mattias Burke: Oh… I wasn’t fighting with anyone, I was on my best behavior.
Kennedy Street: Right…. Get out.
Mattias Burke: Huh?
(Kennedy points to the door and stomps her foot….)
Kennedy Street: Get out!
Mattias Burke: But I…..
Kennedy Street: NOW!
(Without another word. Mattias Burke leaves, Kennedy looks on now seething some, finally everyone in her office is relieved, all are out she can finally have a little peace and quiet as the camera fades to the ring and Gina Romano to call her next match.)
(The camera opens to the announce desk where we see Miku Sakai sitting next to the team.)
Eve: Ladies and gentlemen we have a special guest here with us on commentary, please welcome Miku Sakai!
Deadprez: I assume you’re out here because of the announcement you would be teaming up with Raven in Blind Faith?
Miku Sakai: (sarcastically) No Deadprez I came out here to watch a great match between two great competitors Raven and Ashlynn. What do you think? Neither are worth my time but I have no choice much like I had no say in being paired up with Raven. I’m out here to make sure she does her job which is what I am banking on when we team up.
(The camera pans to the ring where we see Gina Romano ready to make the ring introductions.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa plays as Ashlynn Quinn makes her way out onto the stage. She looks a little angry because of the events that transpired the past few weeks like losing at King of Elite and targeting Auburn Ware last week. She looks ready to make a statement here tonight.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS….SHE IS “EAW’S FAVORITE BARBIE”…..ASSSHLLYYYNNNN QUUIINNNNN!!!!!
(‘Old Scars/Future Hearts’ by All Time Low plays as the crowd erupts greeting Raven Roberts as she makes her way out onto the stage. She takes a deep breath before naming her way down the ramp with her eyes fixated on both Ashlynn and Miku at the announce desk.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT….FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA….WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS….SHE IS “THE BIRD OF PREY”….RAAAVVEENNNN ROOBBEERRTTTSSSSS!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Eve: This match is underway as Raven now makes her approach just at the edge of the ring as both of them circle the ring waiting for the other to make the first move before locking up in a collar and elbow! This should be quite an interesting battle.
Miku Sakai: I would say “interesting” isn’t really the right word to use to describe this match if you ask me.
Gavin Kirkland: I think I may have to disagree with you on that one. :mjgrin:
Eve: They both have their arms up looking for a little test of strength perhaps, but that doesn’t last long as the hands break apart and we’re back at square one between these two. After a few moments now they finally lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up! Raven looks to have the upper hand as she gets her in a side headlock, but Ashlynn right away counters with a back body drop! They both race back up to their feet before….a kick thrusts into Raven’s gut and leaves her hanging with an unforgiving blow as Ashlynn follows up with a double axe handle on her spine, continuing to pull her down and now sending Raven into the ropes behind her. Ashlynn is all set and looks for another double axe handle to put her down…..AND CONNECTS WITH IT! Just look at the determination on the face of Ashlynn just determined to make a statement after how King Of Elite finished coming up short against her bestie Veena.
Eve: She walks up behind her now and looks to go for a German suplex drops Raven into a cover! Raven is able to kick out before the referee can start counting to three. Raven finds her way to roll back to her feet then strides through the wind and comes close to Ashlynn with a full head of steam…. A BOOT TO THE FACE BUT NOBODY’S HOME! Ashlynn sidesteps before positioning herself right next to Raven who narrowly escaped and now she redirects her attention to where Ashlynn stands tall…STEP UP ENZUIGIRI PERFECTLY CONNECTS! Ashlynn drags herself back from the ground on both feet, grabbing Raven by her waist and sending her flying across the ring down to the ropes, but Ravw. is able to make a counterattack propelling Ashlynn down into the ropes instead… BUT RUNNING BACK ELBOW TAKES DOWN RAVEN! Raven stands back up and Ashlynn connects with a jumping neckbreaker! Ashlynn looks just on a mission so far as she goes for the first cover of the match!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: And the kickout from Raven! Ashlynn doesn’t waste any time knowing she has to be at the very top of her game to beat someone like Raven Roberts as goes right back on the attack mounting over Raven as Raven tries her best to cover up and the referee steps in to create a bit of separation between the two. So Miku, what brings you out here and what are your thoughts on randomly being paired up with Raven in Blind Faith?
Miku Sakai: (rolling her eyes) Why ask questions that you already know the answer to? Look, I’ve been on a mission for a while now to get myself back up there to singles prominence ever since my run not too long ago before my injury, and now you’re telling me in order to do that I have to put my trust in somebody else? Someone as unreliable as Raven Roberts? Nah I’m not pleased about it and I warned Raven last week that she better focus up and not screw things up for me so obviously I’m out here watching this terrible match making sure that happens, and so far that isn’t really happening with how that barbie Ashlynn has come out swinging.
Deadprez: Well, those certainly are some very interesting words. But back to the action in the ring now, The referee successfully created some space but not for long as Ashlynn moves the ref out of the way as Raven is back to her feet and Ashlynn nails her back to the ground with another back elbow. Ashlynn can feel all the momentum going her way right now. Raven rolls back to both knees once more as Ashlynn snatches her hurling her towards the ropes once more, but Raven skillfully turns the tables reversing it and propelling right back into the ropes…and Ashlynn springs off the ropes and RUNS INTO A JUMPING DDT…..BUT RAVEN CATCHES HER BEFORE LAUNCHING HER AS ASHLYNN LANDED ON HER FEET BEFORE RUNNING AND TAKING HER DOWN WITH THE BIG BOOT! Raven looks to have control of the match now as she nearly took Ashlynn’s head clean off her body with that boot to the face.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s hot when she’s in control. But anyways….Raven Roberts drops down on Ashlynn before applying a headlock! But we see that Ashlynn is able to roll herself to a crawling position rather quickly trying to fight out of her grip but Raven maintains the headlock as she gets herself to her knees applying as much pressure as she can squeezing the life out of her as Ashlynn’s dave begins to turn red! We see that Ashlynn is trying to shove Raven’s side to send her into the ropes but Raven connects with an elbow drop to the back of Ashlynn’s head and this takes her down! Raven finds herself up to her feet as she stalks Ashlynn up! Raven connects with a powerful clothesline that takes Ashlynn to her knees! Then, we see Raven pick up Ashlynn and connect with a t-bone suplex! The momentum has taken a complete 180 turn in favor of the veteran.
Deadprez: Ashlynn is clutching her lower back in some pain now as she finds herself back up to her feet! Raven Roberts stops Ashlynn with a knee to the gut before picking up Ashlynn and connecting with a gut wrench suplex that takes Ashlynn down and Raven follows that up with a running dropkick to Ashlynn’s shoulder as Ashlynn falls to her back! She isn’t looking too good at the moment as she stumbles back up to her feet and turns around….AND WALKS RIGHT INTO “THE HUNTRESS BOMB!” RAVEN JUST PLANTED HER WITH HER SITOUT SPINEBUSTER BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH THE COVER!! IS THIS GOING TO PUT ASHLYNN’S AWAY?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Miku Sakai: NOA NOT YET AT LEAST! The kickout from Ashlynn and the pain continues for all of us having to sit through this. Come on Raven, show me and everybody else something here.
Deadprez: Well, you could see it on Raven’s face just there that she knows she’s has more work to do to keep Ashlynn down with how Ashlynn is still able to stay alive in this match. She proceeds to make quick work here, picking her all the way back to her feet here connecting with a clubbing forearm that causes Ashlynn to stumble back into the corner. Raven is standing by and has Ashlynn locked in… A HARD ELBOW SHOT TO THE FACE BY RAVEN! Ashlynn surely hurts badly from that and Raven puts her right back in an upward position throwing her head back. Raven with another one to the face! And then another one! Raven now sits her up on the top turnbuckle and follows Ashlynn all the way up there, what does she have in mind here… SHE’S LOOKING FOR A SUPERPLEX!
Miku Sakai: Oh no don’t get hurt or anything.
Eve: I don’t think Ashlynn intends to let that happen just yet trying to fight her way out of this with her right hand hammering the back of Raven and trying to shoulder her out and now it’s a battle for control between the two of them exchanging shots on that top turnbuckle and uh oh…it looks like Ashlynn might be getting the upper hand…OH NO A THUMB TO THE EYE FROM ASHLYNN! The referee didn’t see it as she pushes Raven off and she drops from the second rope down to the ground, to both feet. Ashlynn stands tall on the top rope, and here she comes…
Gavin Kirkland: A BEAUTIFUL HURRICANRANA FROM THE TOP SENDS RAVEN ROLLING TO THE GROUND! Raven rolls out of the ring and tries shaking the cobwebs out….only to come face to face with Miku.
Miku Sakai: What are you looking at?
Eve: ASHLYNN RUNS AND DELIVERS A SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE!! Ashlynn then rolls her back inside the ring.
Miku Sakai: You see that? An example right there of not having her eye completely on the ball. Wow.
Deadprez: Ashlynn looks to take advantage here as Raven stands up and turns around – AND ASHLYNN DELIVERS A SUPERKICK BEFORE RUNNING OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS THE “NOSTYLIST” RUNNING KNEE INTO THE GERMAN SUPLEX! AND HERE’S THE COVER!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE KICK OUT FROM RAVEN ROBERTS AT TWO AND A HALF!! Ashlynn stands up tall and balances herself up against the ropes thinking on what to do next before making her way over to the corner and begins her ascent up to the top turnbuckle before she leaps off the top rope –
Deadprez: ASHLYNN GOES FOR THE MOONSAULT HERE ON THE LIFELESS BODY OF RAVEN – BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT AS RAVEN MOVED OUT OF THE WAY WITH A SPLIT SECOND TO SPARE!! She got great elevation there but nobody was home and now Ashlynn might be in some serious trouble as…RAVEN MAKES HER WAY OVER AND HOOKS THE ARM LOCKING IN THE “WING BREAKER!!” THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR IS LOCKED IN AS ASHLYNN IS SCREAMING IN PAIN TRYING ANY WAY SHE CAN TO GET OUT OF THIS BUT SHE MAY HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO TAP OUT HERE!!
Miku Sakai: Yes, please tap out so I can leave.
Eve: LOOK AT ASHLYNN THOUGH!! ASHLYNN IS DRAGGING HERSELF OVER TO THAT BOTTOM ROPE BUT RAVEN IS MAKING HER EARN EVERY INCH AS ASHLYNN IS INCHING CLOSER AND CLOSER….AND SHE USES HER FREE HAND GRABBING THE ROPE! Raven is forced to let go of the armbar. Raven though gets her up right away giving her no room to breath – AND RAVEN HOLDS HER UPWARD BEFORE DELIVERING “THE FACELIFT!!!” THE SPINNING HEEL KICK NEARLY TAKES ASHLYNN’S HEAD OFF AS SHE DROPS DOWN IN TOP OF ASHLYNN FOR THE COVER, SURELY THIS HAS GOTTA BE IT!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: ASHLYNN KICKS OUT JUST WITH HALF A SECOND TO SPARE! Raven looks a little bit shocked Ashlynn was able to survive but only for a second as she is up and begging for Ashlynn to get back up to her feet looking to put her away for good. She’s back up and then here’s a kick to the midsection from Raven as she leaps on Ashlynn and tries to lock in the guillotine choke….BUT ASHLYNN OUT OF PURE DESPERATION TO GET OUT OF THIS DRIVES HER BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER CAUSING HER TO RELEASE HER ARM! AND SHE NOW HITS SEVERAL SHOULDER THRUSTS TO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE GETTING HER FOOT UP TO RAVEN’S THROAT AND BEGINS CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HER AS THE REFEREE TRIES TO BREAK IT UP!! The referee manages to back Ashlynn up but only for about a second as she runs at Raven in the corner….
Eve: BUT NOBODY HOME AS RAVEN MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Raven now is the one who runs at Ashlynn in the corner and delivers a running uppercut!! Raven sits her up on the top rope again and once more they go up top, and Ashlynn is fighting back as it’s a battle for control on the top….AND ASHLYNN LEAPS OVER RAVEN AND DELIVERS A SUNSET FLIP BOMB, HELD ON! RAVEN LEAPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE GOING FOR A CROSSBODY –
Deadprez: A DROPKICK IN MID AIR FROM ASHLYNN RIGHT TO THE FACE OF THE BIRD OF PREY!! Ashlynn rolls away from Raven using this time to recuperate and shake the cobwebs out before using the ropes to pull herself up and seeing Raven in a vulnerable position holding her head in some pain….AND ASHLYNN RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE SIDE OF RAVEN’S SKULL BEFORE GETTING HER IN PRIME POSITION ONCE MORE….SHE GETS HER FOOT UP AND GOES FOR “RED BOTTOMS” EAT DEFEAT” –
Deadprez: BUT RAVEN REVERSES OUT OF IT AND DROPS ASHLYNN WITH A RIGHT HAND TO THE FACE, AND THEN FOLLOWS IT UP UP RUNNING OFF THE ROPES AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE HITTING THE LIONSAULT….BUT ASHLYNN GETS HER KNEES UP JUST IN TIME! AND ASHLYNN TRANSITIONS INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: ASHLYNN HAS AHOLD OF THE ROPES!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN STAYS ALIVE AGAIN AS SHE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Ashlynn now is clearly frustrated as she pounds the mat now before thinking about what next to do to put Raven down for good.
Miku Sakai: Maybe go back on the attack instead of pouting? :skip:
Eve: Ashlynn gets a little emotional in there taking out a little bit of anger and it looks like she’s ready to put this one away and win her first title in EAW as she stands up and poses for the crowd once more. She stands up and repeatedly now stomps on the limbs of Raven before stomping right on her head! Ashlynn is in complete control of this match now as she begins to stalk Raven before going up and picking her up by the head – BUT RAVEN SHOVES HER BACK BEFORE RUNNING AND DELIVERING A STEP UP KNEE IN THE CORNER! Raven now lifts her leg up and begins choking out Ashlynn!
Deadprez: Raven has her foot on the throat of Ashlynn, choking the life out of her in the corner as the referee forces Raven to back up!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! CONE ON BACK IT UP RAVEN!
Deadprez: The referee gets Raven to back up several feet creating a bit of separation between the two of them….BUT LOOK!! ASHLYNN JUST UNTIED THE TURNBUCKLE PAD EXPOSING THE STEEL IN THE CORNER! Raven and the referee are both unaware – AND NOW LOOK!!!
Eve: AUBURN WARE HAS RUN DOWN THE RAMP!! The woman that Ashlynn attacked last week just hopped up on the apron! Ashlynn swings at her but Auburn ducks before dropping off the apron, AND ASHLYNN TURNS AROUND AND RUNS RIGHT INTO RAVEN’S “TALON” CLAYMORE KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE!! Auburn’s distraction caused Raven to knock her out cold as Raven hooks the leg for the win!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Raven stands up and gets her hand raised as Auburn backpedals her way up the ramp proud of getting a little revenge on Ashlynn.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….RAAAVVEENNN ROOOBBEERRTTTSSS!!!!
Eve: Raven picks up the win and picks up some momentum. I guess you can say chalk up the assist to Auburn but none of us can say Ashlynn didn’t have that coming after what she pulled on her a week ago. Impressive win here tonight from Raven.
Miku Sakai: (rolling eyes while removing headset) Yeah whatever.
(Miku comes eye to eye with Raven before making her way around the ring making her way up the entrance ramp. Raven though exists the ring and turns her around.)
Deadprez: OH RAVEN JUST SLAPPED MIKU ACROSS THE FACE!!
Eve: Raven repaying the favor for what Miku did to her earlier in the night, slapping the taste out of her partner’s mouth!
(The camera fades to black with the two of them face to face as it cuts to an ad for Shock Value, before it transitions to the backstage area.)
(Showdown pans backstage as we see an angered Ashlynn Quinn, the rage flowing through her veins as she walks backstage. Stood there was Mikaela Street, as she wanted to get insight.)
Mikaela Street: Ashlynn Quinn, what would you like to add on the outcome of everything that just cycled right no–
(Ashlynn was furious, as she started speaking before Mikaela could even finish her sentence.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Are you kidding me right about now? Why does EAW operate and employ so many hooligans, we gotta get this standard settled right about now. I go out there, I am sacrificing my nature against an Elitist like Raven Roberts, who is a solidified name in the industry, a win over her would shoot me towards the moon! And then what happens? Here comes this weird lopsided weirdo, Auburn Ware. Let me ask you something about Auburn Ware, your last name is Ware, so WARE.. is the talent? I can’t stand people with stupid mentalities coming into EAW. Ones like Auburn, she’s happy, lucky and optimistic. Yet she doesn’t win anything of notoriety! And then her business gets involved in my own! It’s ridiculous, plus I was so close to pulling a win like that off! But here comes this nepotism baby Elitist, who should be in college getting ready to go into finances, she doesn’t belong in a wrestling ring! That’s why I am so infuriatingly angry, and for some reason, Mikaela, EAW has a dumb rule, where things like this don’t get overruled! when they really should! Raven Roberts should have to sacrifice her legacy to me after what happened!
(Ashlynn Quinn angrily shouted, she was so pissed off, and nothing was breaking her focus from the anger.)
Mikaela Street: Unfortunately, you have to bounce back and make the most of your situation.
Ashlynn Quinn: But I should be here being excited and spontaneously confident about my victory! But yes I feel cheated, and robbed! I don’t even know what the beef is with Auburn, it may be seen as “justification” for what happened last week. But that’s the issue, I made Auburn a STAR last week. I set everything perfectly up for her. She could have given the typical sob story of “I got knocked on my feet, but Ashlynn Quinn, SHE DIDN’T KILL ME!”, get the crowd roaring, all that vanilla generic stuff, but instead.. she had to stay under my business 💔 tell me Mikaela, where does it all go wrong?
Mikaela Street: Where does what go wrong..?
Ashlynn Quinn: How do you go from championship opportunity at King Of Elite, to being in the ring with Auburn Ware? It’s RIDICULOUS.
Mikaela Street: Well, naturally when a loss of that circumstance like King Of Elite happens, the most natural way to get back into the fray, is by proving yourself against fiery Elitists like Auburn Ware.
Ashlynn Quinn: Are you serious? I have nothing to prove or to gain from beating her, she’s getting all her stardom from me. But I am NOT giving out the Ashlynn Quinn pity awards to no one, she doesn’t deserve my 10 seconds of attention, I won’t stand for this nonsense however, something HAS to get done, and it has to get done immediately. Otherwise, there will be legal trouble for that brat! She’s gonna have to wear a headset on the side when her terrible wrestling career can’t pay the bills! But that’s all Mikaela, I just won’t stand for it! Something is going to be changing here real soon with how operations work in EAW. We gotta rid pesky, over privileged brats from the fray-
(Ashlynn Quinn whilst talking about Auburn Ware in this negative light, was nearly describing a mirror image of herself. But soon, all would be interrupted, as from behind.. Auburn Ware ambushed Ashlynn Quinn! justified revenge from what happened last week, however Ashlynn wouldn’t be going down without a fight, as a brawl broke out between the two women!)
Ashlynn Quinn: You are so pathetic attacking someone from behind, YOU NEED MANNERS!
(Ashlynn Quinn shouted at Auburn Ware, again being a mirror image of what Ashlynn actually is, compared to what Auburn isn’t. But Auburn didn’t back down, taking a huge swipe right into the midsection of Ashlynn! She would be taken into pieces now, as Auburn got up, and carried Ashlynn onto her shoulders, before putting her away with: a ‘Malibu Rising’!!! Auburn felt good on her return attack, as she looked down at Ashlynn Quinn.)
Auburn Ware: I would say that there is some guilt for me doing this, but I realize that you would have gone ahead and done the exact same thing to me, and felt no guilt whilst doing it.
(Ashlynn laid on the ground groaning, as Auburn continued to look over her.)
Auburn Ware: You can make all the statements that you wanna make Ashlynn, you can try to twist things in your favor. But the proof is right there! Last week, YOU stuck your nose into my business. And I simply returned the favor, and I wanna return it in a major way, I have to set the tone and carve my own path, the way I set myself up now, will pay off in the long run. You aren’t getting away from this scott-free.. So furthermore, with that said, I am challenging you to a match at Reasonable Doubt!
(Auburn laid the challenge on Ashlynn as Ashlynn only laid there while Auburn continued to stand over her.)
Auburn Ware: There’s not really a way for you to run and hide from it, you started this, so now you have to carry it out. You either give me the match that I am asking for, or I will continue to lurk over your shoulder and be the biggest abundance to your career. You will NOT bully me.
(With that statement made, Auburn Ware doubled down on it, stepping over Ashlynn Quinn, as she made her way out of there, all the while Ashlynn was checked on by medical staff as Showdown panned elsewhere.)
(Showdown faded into the locker rooms, focusing squarely in the locker room belonging to Devolution. Pandora was resting against the wall and taking a small break, it took some effort to plan out what was next for the group and be able to make sure all of them were able to succeed by the end of the season. With her and Halsey being on Blind Faith and Kelton having an Answers World Championship match to deal with, it wouldn’t take long before they got something for Delilah and everyone from the group would prosper.)
(She ended up raising her head once she heard loud steps coming from the hallway. The door to the locker room opened up and Halsey walked in, sweaty and tired from the match that she had earlier on the night. She put a towel over her neck and walked in, Pandora cracked a small smile and walked to greet her.)
Pandora Paisley: You did well out there.
Halsey Neel: Eh, could have done a lot better. Don’t worry about me though, I think the girl you should be paying attention to is-
???: BLOODY HELL, WE ARE IN THIS SHIT! FUCK YEAH!
(Pandora turned confused as Halsey almost burst out laughing as Delilah suddenly rushed inside of the locker room, she ended up leaving the door open by accident when she walked inside and she turned towards the two women with a big grin on her face.)
Delilah Rose: Oh ladies, we ended up hitting the jackpot! What do you know? I ended up being put in the Call Your Own Shot match. I finally wanted another opportunity to prove myself after joining up with all of you and now everyone in the group has their own opportunity to achieve at Reasonable Doubt. Isn’t that brilliant?
Pandora Paisley: Yes, love. In fact, I think it is a perfect moment for all of us to discuss it right now. At Reasonable Doubt, you have a chance to prove yourself to be an elite competitor, but not only that, if you win there, you can go on and challenge for a championship and bring gold to The British Invasion.
Halsey Neel: You have a golden opportunity here, Rose, we want to see you make the most of it. We know you have all the potential in the world, now is the time to go out and prove it to the rest of the doubters and naysayers!
( Delilah Rose nods in agreeance, understanding that she has a chance to finally break through the glass ceiling and put herself in the conversation for one of the best newcomers in the past year. )
Pandora Paisley: I’m glad we’re all in agreeance. But let’s shift focus here. While we all want to make sure that Rose makes the best of her opportunity. I’m sure we all want to make sure the same is equally if not more true for Jon. We need to ensure that he walks out of Reasonable Doubt as Answers World Champion.
Delilah Rose: Agreed. This is an opportunity he’s been waiting forever to get, and I know we all want to see him get to the finish line. Speaking of Jon, where is he?
Halsey Neel: I think he’s in Kennedy’s office right now, looking over the contract for Reasonable Doubt before he signs it later tonight. But I agree as well, Jon is winning at Reasonable Doubt one way or another.
( The three women stare at each other nodding in agreeance before Pandora breaks the silence. )
Pandora Paisley: All of us are leaving Reasonable Doubt as winners. We’re all going to be victorious.
Halsey Neel: Agreed.
Delilah Rose: You’re damn right.
( Just as the three women begin to leave, they’re halted by someone standing in between them and the exit. )
???: So does this mean we’re on the same page?
( The camera pans around to show Daryl Kinkade looking on unimpressed as he was standing in the hallway overhearing their conversation. )
Pandora Paisley: Yes. WE all want to win. You. Me. Delilah. Halsey. AND Jon.
( Daryl chuckles a little at what he just heard before he begins to speak again. )
Daryl Kinkade: I told you last week, I don’t care who leaves Reasonable Doubt as Answers World Champion, I’m getting a shot at that belt one way or another. But I would prefer if we won Blind Faith. It would save me the hassle. But overhearing what you just said, you can understand how it makes me question your focus and your dedication to your own match when you’ve got your hands tied up dealing with so many other things.
Daryl Kinkade: I don’t want you to lose sight of what matters most.
( Daryl walks forward and stares directly at Pandora before continuing to speak. )
Daryl Kinkade: So I’ll leave you with this. Regardless of what plans you have and beliefs you cling to, I want you all to remember where you come from.
( Daryl backs away from Pandora and gives looks to Halsey and Delilah before stepping away and leaving. Pandora, Halsey, and Delilah look at one another before the camera fades elsewhere. )
(Showdown returns back to ringside as Kirk Redwood slams a steel chair into position and takes a seat down right in front of the commentators. ‘The Dark Horse Always Wins’ by Blues Saraceno is playing in the background.)
Eve: Well, for our next match, we are joined by Kirk Redwood, who is out here to observe his opponent at Reasonable Doubt, Veena Adams, who will be taking on Solomon Stane.
(‘Birds With Broken Wings’ by Ben Caplan begins to play through the speakers. Slomon Stane walks out to the ramp and gets down on one knee. He prays until Trixie Stane, his wife, comes out and places a hand on his shoulder. There, it was his cue to rise back to his feet and stare straight ahead to the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY TRIXIE STANE…FROM THE CITY OF SIN…WEIGHING AT 266 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE DELIVERER’…SOLOMON STANE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: At King of Elite, Solomon Stane faced Dr. Bethany Blue, but fell short in defeat. But, I believed that he showed a ton of dominance and power, but it was not enough to defeat the Doctor. You can say he wasn’t too thrilled with the result. He went on a rampage attacking Jane Chrissly and Hardcore Luna backstage.
Deadprez: I mean, Dr. Bethany Blue did steal the victory from Solomon when he was injected by the suxamethonium chloride, which caused short-term paralysis on Solomon! His anger could be seen as valid in the eyes of some, but he had a response to Alana Starr. That he better be in ‘Blind Faith’ and it seems like his prayers were answered. I mean, his partner is nothing more than The Devolution’s, Pandora Paisley!
Eve: That’s a combination that could either go into the favor of The Devolution or break them. But, this could be a huge favorite in this ‘Blind Faith,’ so I’m excited to see how both of them work wit each other. Solomon is someone that Pandora would definitely not want to upset!
(Solomon Stane is staring down at Kirk Redwood, who is sat on his steel chair, ready for this match to get underway. ‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande begins to take over the speakers as the crowd gives a mixed reception, which is overtaken by some pops as soon as Veena Adams walks up to the ramp and poses for the spotlight. The National Elite Championship is shining on her waist.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT…SHE IS THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION… ‘THE GOLDEN STAR’…VEENA ADAMS!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, here is our ‘Golden Star.’ Our National Elite Champion, Veena Adams who came out of a successful title defense against her bestie..former bestie…I have no idea, Ashlynn Quinn. I’m not sure, but it’s complicated, but Veena has been focused on Reasonable Doubt, where she will face Kirk Redwood!
Eve: Veena Adams has had a wild season of sorts. It began with her wanting to get her rightful rematch for the National Elite Championship. She continued her blossoming friendship with Ashlynn Quinn. It led to the fans finding some reason to root for Veena Adams throughout this whole ordeal and at Road to Redemption, Veena was able to reclaim the championship! And, there’s only four months left of the entire season!
Deadprez: Already a wild season for her. I mean, she has grown to her own this season. It’s been amazing to see her just gain more confidence inside the ring and become one of the stars on the Showdown brand!
Gavin Kirkland: AND, SHE SHOULD BE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: This match is underway as Veena Adams steps towards Solomon Stane. Solomon is towering over the champion AS VEENA THROWS A PUNCH TOWARDS SOLOMON! IT JUST CAUSES SOLOMON TO TURN HIS FACE! HE DOESN’T STEP BACK! HE DOESN’T EVEN RESPOND TO THE PUNCH AS VEENA IS TALKING TO HIM TO LOOK HER IN THE EYE AS SOLOMON SLOWLY TURNS BACK AS VEENA CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER PUNCH! SOLOMON IS NOT RESPONDING TO THOSE PUNCHES AS VEENA CONNECTS WITH A HUGE SLAP TO THE FACE OF SOLOMON! OH, I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE PISSED —
Deadprez: Solomon Stane connects with an uppercut as that sends Veena Adams stumbling back! But, Veena goes right after Solomon and shoves him! She is now yelling at Solomon’s face! I’m not sure if this is the smartest strategy for Veena to go with during this early portion of this match up! But, Solomon, out of nowhere, grabs Veena’s neck as he hoists her up for a chokeslam! But, Veena manages to get herself on the other side before dropping down! She goes for a kick to the gut of Solomon —
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, SOLOMON STANE GETS A GOOD HOLD OF VEENA ADAMS’ LEG AS HE PREVENTS THAT KICK FROM CONNECTING! THERE IS A SLIGHT PANIC ON THE FACE OF THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION AS SHE’S TRYING TO REASON WITH SOLOMON! BUT, SOLOMON CONNECTS WITH A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP AS VEENA IS TAKING DOWN ON AN INSTANCE! There, we see Solomon beginning to mount left and right punches to Veena, who is streaming, trying to push Solomon off of her! Solomon picks up Veena by her hair, almost like she’s nothing before throwing her across the ring! Veena is being manhandled by Solomon!
Eve: Veena Adams tries to find some refuge as she sticks her head through the middle rope and out of the ring! She is telling the referee to get Solomon Stane away from her! Early on, she is feeling the power of ‘The Deliverer’ as Solomon is packing back-and-forth as he waits for Veena to get back inside the ring! After Veena feels comfortable with letting herself back inside the ring, Veena carefully looks to refuse this match! You can see that Veena is being really cautious, trying to find her opening! She charges towards Solomon, looking wrap her arms around the waist of the former Unified Tag Team Champion! But, Solomon grabs Veena by her arms and throws her off of him!
Deadprez: Solomon Stane has been able to handle Veena Adams like she is completely nothing! Veena does not look to quit whatsoever as she launches herself to Solomon! But, Solomon manages to catch her! But, Veena begins to throw some rapid punches! It seems like she is hoping to overwhelm Solomon enough to get him to slowly go down! With that, it would make it easier for Veena to handle him! But, Solomon hoists up Veena, looking to spine buster her! BUT, LOOK AT VEENA! SHE IS LOOKING TO APPLY THE KIMURA LOCK! VEENA HAS DUBBED THAT ‘KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY’ AS LOOKS TO MAKE QUICK WORK OUT OF SOLOMON!
Gavin Kirkland: But, I think that Solomon Stane realized the situation that he was about to get himself in! He hoists Veena Adams up, looking to slam her to the canvas and get her off of him! But, Veena drops herself to the floor before hooking Solomon by one of his legs as she takes him back with a fisherman’s suplex! That looks like it took some strength and effort for Veena to execute as she has the bridge applied! She is going for the first pinfall attempt of the match!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Eve: No! Solomon Stane bridges himself out of the hold, spins himself around as he connects with a powerful knee to the gut of the National Elite Champion! Then, he connects with some harsh punches to the spine of Veena as she begins to work her way down to a knee! HE PULLS VEENA INTO A FRONT HEADLOCK BEFORE HOISTING HER UP AND CONNECTING WITH AN INVERTED SUPLEX SLAM AS VEENA LANDS RIGHT ON HER ABDOMEN! OUCH! THINGS AREN’T LOOKING TOO GOOD FOR THE CHAMPION HERE! She is clutching to her stomach as Solomon picks her up and follows that with a gut wrench suplex! Veena is tossed behind Solomon as she is just trying to process the situation around her!
Deadprez: Veena Adams finds herself to her knees as she is clutching to her lower back! Solomon Stane does not look to waste any time as he looks to connect with a big boot to her face! BUT, VEENA MANAGES TO DUCK AT THE LAST SECOND! SOLOMON STUMBLES PAST HER AS VEENA SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND HER OPENING BY CONNECTING WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF ‘THE DELIVERER’S’’ KNEE, TAKING THE BIGGER ELITISTS DOWN! SLOWLY, YOU CAN SEE THAT VEENA IS FINDING HERSELF BACK TO HER KNEE AS CONNECTS WITH A GIANT KNEE TO THE BACK OF SOLOMON’S SKULL! THIS TAKES HIM TO THE VERTICAL SET OF ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena Adams begins to stomp on the downed body of Solomon Stane! She is connecting with HUGE stomps before pressing her boot on the back of his neck! Coincidentally enough, she glares at Kirk Redwood, who has been sitting on that steel chair, just looking at the whole thing go down! Kirk’s presence at ringside might bring a few questions throughout this match. I am curious to see if he will do anything to cost Veena the match! So far, it seems to be good as Solomon has done a great job with keeping ‘The Golden Star’ down, but I want to see if Veena manages to pull this through!
Referee: (off-mic): ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF HIS NECK, VEENA!
Eve: Veena Adams is being quite careful not to get herself disqualified! I believe that she thinks that won’t give the best impression to her opponent at ringside! It’s all about making sure that she poses herself as a threat to him! I mean, she probably already thinks of that herself, but she wants to back that up as well! Veena slowly begins to back away as she tries to look for the slightest of signs that Solomon is getting himself back to his feet! As soon as he does, Veena goes right after him with a series of punches to the spine and back of the head! VEENA WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT HE REMAINS ON THE GROUND! SHE WAITS FOR HIM TO GET HIMSELF INTO A CRAWLING POSITION AS SHE CONNECTS WITH CURB STOMP TO THE BACK OF HIS SKULL AS THAT TAKES HIM DOWN! VEENA GOES FOR A QUICK COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOO—
Deadprez: Solomon Stane PUSHES Veena Adams off of him! He is trying to find himself back to his feet, but Veena connects with a knee to the back of his head! She connects with even more punches to the back of his head, making sure that he stays down! Veena is looking good at the moment Solomon begins to get to his knees! She takes a step back before taking Solomon back with a superkick to a kneeled Solomon as he manages to go back! He falls to his back as Veena follows that up with a sharp elbow drop to the chest! Then, she gets Solomon to a seated position before driving her elbow to the side of his neck! Then, she begins to jab her elbow to the side of his neck! Then, she begins to apply a basement chokehold on Solomon!
Gavin Kirkland: So far, it’s been Veena Adams working on keeping Solomon Stane down and this is the best thing that should happen! She knows that Solomon is bigger! But, Veena has speed! She has the technique that could be utilized to keep someone like Solomon off his feet! She has the skull from her great-Uncle Fred and her Uncle Ryan! Generations of knowledge that was passed down to her! Now, she begins to crank the neck of Solomon as she tries to keep him as grounded as possible!
Eve: Now, she wraps the leg scissors around the waist of Solomon Stane! Trixie Stane is at ringside with a bit of panic on her face, but she has full faith in Solomon to get himself out of the situation! She is hoping that the will of ‘God’ will help him fight through this! Slowly, you can see that Solomon is trying to roll himself to his side, but Veena still manages to maintain the hold on him! Still, it seems like he’s keen on rolling to his side as it seems like that was successful! He is looking to get himself into a crawling position! I think that he is going to find his way to a vertical base with Veena hanging off his back like she’s a monkey! This type of strength is amazing! Veena is shaking her head! No! She knows that she is in some trouble at the moment!
Deadprez: SOLOMON STANE GRABS VEENA ADAMS BY THOSE BLONDE LOCKS OF HERS BEFORE FLIPPING HER OFF OF HIM AND IN FRONT OF HIM! VEENA LANDS RIGHT ON HER TAILBONE AS YOU CAN SEE THE LOOK OF HURT ON HER FACE! SOLOMON LOOKS TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF THIS MATCH BY GETTING VEENA UP TO A VERTICAL BASE! HE BELL CLAPS HER EARS BEFORE HOISTING HER UP AND CONNECTING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Veena manages to roll herself to her knees as Solomon charges right at her and connects with a basement dropkick to her face as that sends her back to the corner! Now, it seems like it’s Solomon’s turn to begin to stomp on the face of Veena!
Gavin Kirkland: Not the face! Not her gorgeous, gorgeous face! We ought to put a stop to this! Someone go out there and stop this monster from committing this attrocity! Come on, my queen! You gotta fight through all of this! Solomon takes a step back as she lifts Veena by her chin as he shushes the crowd! THEY ALL SOMEHOW SHUT UP AS HE CONNECTS WITH A PALM STRIKE TO HER CHEST! NOW, THIS MAN SHOULD BE CANCELLED! VEENA BEGINS TO CRY OUT IN PAIN! BUT, SOLOMON STRAIGHTENS HER BACK UP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER PALM STRIKE TO HER CHEST! YOU CAN SEE VEENA’S CHEST WELTING UP AS SHE CLUTCHES TO IT! I WOULD HATE TO BE ON THE OPPOSING END OF ALL OF THAT! IT SEEMS LIKE SOLOMON IS GOING FOR A THIRD AND CONSECUTIVE PALM STRIKE TO THE CHEST —
Eve: Veena Adams gets herself out of the situation! Solomon Stane’s hand hits the turnbuckle and now, it’s his turn to let out a yell of pain! Veena goes forward and nails him with a meteora as that bumps him to the corner! This causes Solomon to collapse down as Veena begins to choke him out with the middle ring rope!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Deadprez: Veena Adams backs away as she waits for Solomon Stane to find himself scrambling up before Veena goes right after him and connects with a reverse bulldog! With Solomon on the ground, Veena looks to go for the top rope! She is REALLY looking to wrap up this match as she goes for the diving cartwheel splash that she likes to call ‘Twisted Veena.’ There is a slight panic on the face of Trixie Stane, who is pleading for her husband to get himself to his feet as Solomon springs back to his feet and joins Veena on the top rope! But, Veena tries to throw a punch to Solomon’s face,BUT IT DOESN’T CAUSE SOLOMON TO STAGGER BACK! HE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE HEADBUTT TO VEENA’S FOREHEAD BEFORE — IS HE GETTING HER INTO POSITION FOR A CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB?!??!
bGavin Kirkland: FROM THE TOP ROPE! No! Solomon, reconsider! God will not be happy if you take away one of his favorites!
Eve: Veena Adams is one of God’s favorites?
Gavin Kirkland: Have you looked at her? This woman is the definition of perfection! A woman sculpted by god himself!
Deadprez: Didn’t you tell Cleopatra backstage one time?
Gavin Kirkland: Cleopatra IS a God, DP. Well, ‘Queen,’ but Cleopatra can be whatever she wants to be!
Eve: THUD! Solomon Stane just connected with that crucifix powerbomb on the National Elite Champion! If that didn’t take Veena Adams out, I’m not sure what is going to take her out exactly! Solomon rises back to his feet as it looks like he’s more than looking for the end of this match up! He begins to pick up Veena for ‘Sanity’s Sake’ — the Canadian rack facebuster! But, VEENA MANAGES TO GET OFF OF HIM! SHE SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AS I THINK THAT VEENA JUST SAVED HERSELF FROM LOSING THIS MATCH! NORMALLY, WE’VE SEEN VEENA EMBRACING THE FIGHT, BUT WITH THIS MATCH, SHE’S TRIED TO BE STRATEGIC — MORE THAN USUAL AND THINK ABOUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE!
Deadprez: Veena Adams is staring down at Kirk Redwood who rises up to his feet to look at the champion! The two of them will be facing off at Reasonable Doubt! But, Solomon Stane launches himself from the top rope! He takes Veena down with a flying forearm to the face! Then, he stares down his former Off-Brand Amphetamines partner before turning his attention back to Veena! He gets Veena by the back of her head, by her hair as he throws her abdomen first against the edge of the apron! Yikes!
Gavin Kirkland: Poor sweet Veena Adams collapses to the ground! Veena is clutching to her abdomen as they took a bit of damage. Just the force that Solomon threw her in was quite concerning! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE SOLOMON IS JUST GETTING STARTED HERE! HE GRABS HER AND HOISTS HER UP, CONNECTING WITH A HIGH-ANGLE URANAGE ON THE APRON! Veena’s back contorts in pain as I can’t imagine what else she’ll be able to take! Veena rolls herself back inside the ring as Solomon takes a moment to look up at his precious ‘God,’ asking him what is next for him?
Eve: Now, this is a relationship that we’ve had a chance to explore all season long. In some way, it has made Solomon Stane a bit more aggressive, more ruthless when it comes to being inside the ring! Romans 12:17?
Deadprez: Is he referencing a Bible passage?
Gavin Kirkland: I just had to Google that quote and I got: “Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.”
Eve: Solomon Stane is not looking at himself as evil, honestly! He is looking at Veena Adams as someone who is evil and someone who has caused evil in the past. But, it seems like Solomon took a bit too much time with his conversation with the man above! Veena Adams connects with a suicide dive as she nails Solomon with a forearm! I think that was a mistake on Solomon’s part! You do not want to give someone like Veena the time to get herself together! It will not pan out well for you in the end! Veena connects with rapid left and right punches all around Solomon!
Deadprez: VEENA ADAMS PICKS UP SOLOMON STANE BY HIS HEAD AND SLAMS HIM BACK AGAINST THE BARRICADE! OUCH! THEN, IT SEEMS LIKE VEENA IS LOOKING TOWARDS THE OTHER SECTION OF THE BARRICADE! THIS ONE IS TOWARDS GINA ROMANO AS SHE THROWS SOLOMON TOWARDS IT! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE VEENA IS NOT DONE THERE! SHE BEGINS TO TAKE A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HANDSPRING INTO A BACK ELBOW TO SOLOMON! BOTH OF THEM GO TUMBLING OVER THE BARRICADE! BOTH OF THEM CRASHING INTO THE TIMEKEEPER’S AREA!
Gavin Kirkland: It seems like Kirk Redwood wanted to get himself a closer look on all of the action! This is one of the first instances since his stare down with Veena, where I’ve seen him get up! It seems like the timekeeper’s belt must have fallen on Solomon Stane during that mishap to the area! Solomon is touching his face as I can assure you that is going to be bruised by the time that he wakes up in the morning! Then, we see that Trixie Stane and Kirk Redwood are having some sort of confrontation! Trixie is more than standing her ground as Solomon finds his way back to his feet! It’s almost like seeing Trixie in harm’s way was enough to spring him back to his feet!
Eve: Now, we see Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood staring down at each other! Former partners, former Unified Tag Team Champions, nothing more than strangers as both of them look to make names for themselves as singles competitors on Showdown! BUT, VEENA ADAMS SHOVES SOLOMON STANE INTO KIRK REDWOOD! SHE CAUSES BOTH MEN TO GO DOWN IN THE PROCESS! IT SEEMS LIKE VEENA IS NOT FOCUSED ON KIRK AT THE MOMENT! SHE JUST WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO END THIS MATCH AND DEFEAT SOLOMON! SHE ROLLS SOLOMON BACK INSIDE THE RING AS STALKS SOLOMON UP!
Deadprez: SPEAR! HOMAGE TO HER UNCLE RYAN! SHE CUTS SOLOMON STANE IN HALF WITH A SPEAR! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER ON SOLOMON! IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO PUT DOWN ‘THE DELIVERER?’
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTT—
Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON STANE WITH A KICK OUT! VEENA ADAMS CAN’T SEEM TO BELIEVE IT! SHE BEGINS TO RISE BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE HEADS FOR THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! SHE TURNS HER BACK TO SOLOMON ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS SHE FLIES FROM THE TOP ROPE — ‘FATAL VOW!’ THE MOONSAULT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT ONTO —NO! SOLOMON MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! HE CONNECTS WITH A NASTY RIGHT HAND AS THAT KNOCKS VEENA DOWN!
Eve: SOLOMON STANE GOES FOR THE COVER! JESUS, THE RIGHT HAND LOOKED AWFUL! IT’S ALMOST LIKE THERE WAS A STACK OF QUARTERS IN HIS HAND AS VEENA ADAMS GOES DOWN! IS SOLOMON GOING TO GET A VICTORY OVER THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTT—
Deadprez: VEENA ADAMS WITH A SHOULDER UP! ‘THE GOLDEN STAR’ IS ALIVE IN THIS MATCH! Solomon Stane is looking up, wondering what exactly he is going to do to take Veena down for the three count! He grabs her by one of the legs and I believe that he is looking for the heel hook! He calls that ‘The Word’ as Veena’s end might be ahead of her! She is more than frightened of finding herself in this move! She uses her available foot to kick Solomon away from her! She is buying herself time on figuring out what exactly she is going to need to do to find herself out of this situation!
Gavin Kirkland: As we look at Kirk Redwood, he’s been pacing back-and-forth, trying to cool himself down after Veena Adams threw Solomon Stane right after him! He is trying not to let his temper get the best of him! As we look towards the ring, it seems like Solomon has shifted into doing something completely different! He has Veena by both of her legs as he has his back turned to one of the corners! He catapults Veena to the corner — BUT, VEENA SOMEHOW MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF AND LAND ON THE SECOND ROPE! SHE CONNECTS WITH AN ARABIAN PRESS ON THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION AS SOLOMON HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS COMING FOR HIM! VEENA IS STILL HOLDING ONTO THOSE RIBS THAT SOLOMON HAD DAMAGED A BIT THROUGHOUT THIS MATCH! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S HEADING FOR THE TOP ROPE ONCE MORE!
Eve: SHE IS GOING FOR ‘TWISTED VEENA’ ONCE MORE AS SHE LOOKS TO TAKE DOWN SOLOMON STANE! SOLOMON IS DOWN AND OUT AS VEENA EXECUTES THE DIVING CARTWHEEL SPLASH! SHE LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF SOLOMON AS VEENA GOES FOR THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT HERE?!?
OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTHHH—
Deadprez: Solomon Stane with a kick out! But, Veena Adams begins to apply an armbar on Solomon! She catches ‘The Deliverer’ off guard with an armbar as she looks to make the bigger Elitists submit to her! Wouldn’t this be the ultimate message to send to Kirk Redwood by submitting the man that she has not been able to defeat! But, Solomon is looking to turn towards his side and try to punch himself out of the situation! But, Veena wraps his legs around the waist of Solomon! Is she looking to apply the kimura lock? SHE HAS THE ARM BENT BACK! ‘KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY’ IS APPLIED! SOLOMON IS PANICKING AT RINGSIDE! I THINK THAT HE MIGHT FIND HIMSELF COMPLETELY TRAPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! VEENA HAS EXACTLY WHERE SHE WANTS SOLOMON!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon Stane has to be smart here! He needs to realize that it’s better to throw in the towel and think about Reasonable Doubt rather than try to be a hero in his deluded world!
Eve: WHAT IN THE WORLD? KIRK REDWOOD ENTERS THE RING AND BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON PUNCHES TO VEENA ADAMS!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Kirk Redwood couldn’t contain his anger for so long! He rises himself back to his feet as he waits for Veena to rise back to her feet! SOLOMON STANE GOES RIGHT AFTER KIRK, BUT KIRK THROWS A PUNCH THAT TAKES HIM OUT OF THE EQUATION! HE FOCUSES RIGHT BACK AT VEENA AS HE RACES TO THE ROPES! IS HE GOING FOR THE ‘.50 CAL’ — THE SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH! BUT, VEENA ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! THE CROWD DIDN’T SEEM TO BE TOO HAPPY ABOUT THAT! BUT, VEENA IS BEGINNING TO MAKE HER WAY UP THE RAMP, DEMANDING TO BE HANDED HER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE WAY UP!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, SOLOMON STANE TURNS KIRK REDWOOD AROUND AS THESE FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNERS BEGIN TO BRAWL WITH EACH OTHER! AT THE SAME TIME, THESE TWO MEN ARE THROWING PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER, NOT HOLDING BACK WHATSOEVER! SOLOMON TACKLES KIRK ON THE GROUND AS HE CONTINUES TO THROW PUNCHES! BUT, KIRK ROLLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF SOLOMON, CONNECTING WITH PUNCHES IN RETURN! THE CROWD IS JUST LOVING EVERY SECOND OF THIS! BUT, THEIR DELIGHT TURNS TO DISCONTENTMENT AS OFFICIALS RACE DOWN THE RAMPS AND ENTER THE RING!
(Five officials are each holding Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane back. The crowd totally hates it. A ‘LET THEM FIGHT’ chant begins to break down as the former partners are trash talking to each other.)
Eve: These two would love nothing more than to get their hands on the other, but I don’t think that this is the time and place to do that!
(The chaos continues as it slowly fades to the last commercial break.)
(After the last commercial break of the show, ‘Paint It Black’ by The Rolling Stones hits on the speakers and the crowd reacts in an incredibly negative reaction, as the cameras panned towards the entrance, the man that the song belonged to slowly came out, dripped out with an expensive looking fit and wearing sunglasses. He stood in the middle of the ramp looking around at the reaction that he was receiving from him simply appearing.)
Gavin Kirkland: BOOOOO, GET HIM OFF THE STAGE, TOMATO TOMATO TOMATO!
Eve: It can be seen clearly that Jon Kelton isn’t very welcome here in Morocco, just last week he ended up beating a Hall of Famer in Scott Diamond, even though it was slightly brought from Cy Henderson appearing and Scott unintentionally getting distracted from it, the only thing that we ended up hearing from Chef Viz at that moment was that he was impressed, but aside from that, we don’t know what will be his mindset heading into this contract signing.
Deadprez: As for Kelton’s? It is clear to see that he is not taking any prisoners when it comes to spear heading for the Answers World Championship, it is basically his dream to be able to call himself the world champion of this company and he will do whatever it takes to make that dream an actual reality, we will just have to see if he can do it against the current Answers World Champion.
(Jon Kelton continued walking down the ramp waving off all of the people trying to get him to break his focus. It was then that he reached ringside and jumped onto the apron easily, climbing onto the top rope and the posing there for a moment, relishing in on the boos before jumping off and entering inside of the ring, with a table and two seats as usual, as he took one of the seats and sat down.)
(“shut the fuck up talking to me” By Zack Fox starts playing on the speakers this time and the crowd goes ballistic instead for Chef Viz. He walked out incredibly confident and played up to the crowd, of course, he wore his iconic apron and chef’s hat but he decided to arrive a bit more dressed up than normal since it was a contract signing. He just had a tie around his neck. But of course, he showed off the Answers World Championship wrapped around his waist.)
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S MY WORLD CHEF RIGHT THERE! MY WORLD CHAMPION! MY ANSWERS WORLD CHEFPION! Ok, that one sounded a lot better in my head but Chef Viz is still him!
Eve: And here comes out the world champion this time, Chef Viz! Who has still left the world buzzing after being able to defeat Adam Lucas after an amazing world title reign, but what will Chef Viz pull off instead on his first defense against Jon Kelton? It is clear that from the last few times they have faced, Chef Viz doesn’t take him seriously-
Deadprez: As he does to most people.
Eve: But he always goes confident into every match that he has in hopes to throw off his opponent, will this affect Jon Kelton too? We will see in just a few minutes.
(Chef Viz stopped playing up to the crowd and focused now on walking towards the ring, this time he was all alone and not accompanied by Dr Angelo D’Angelo. He arrived at ringside and quickly hopped onto the apron, slowly taking off his belt and then raising it up in the air to loud cheers. He lowered it down and entered inside the ring before putting the championship on the table. He sat down on his own seat and put his feet up on the table while wearing a big grin on his face.)
(Jon Kelton’s expression didn’t change at all at Viz doing his usual antics, he calmly grabbed the contract and he went to go sign it but Viz raised his voice up and went to stop him for a moment.)
Chef Viz: Hey there little buddy, I just arrived here, let’s enjoy the moment together and have some small talk!
(Kelton rolls his eyes and goes to grab a microphone of his own.)
Jon Kelton: Don’t call me that.
Chef Viz: Well, I definitely can’t call you big buddy, do I?
(Jon Kelton scoffs and continues talking into the microphone while getting up and looking down at Viz.)
Jon Kelton: Are you ever going to take something seriously in your miserable life? Mock me all you want Viz, no matter what you say towards me, it won’t affect me in any way possible, you can throw your pathetic insults, you can throw your good for nothing jokes, it won’t matter at the end of the day when you turn out to be the butt of the joke all along. Going into this match, it would be stupid to even underestimate you in any way, I have already heard long enough of your accomplishments to make my ears bleed, and even though I mocked you last year about you being in a rocky place, you bounced back by gaining that Answers World Championship-
Chef Viz: By beating the guy that you never beat :smugcena:
Jon Kelton: Ironic when there are some people here who have your number too but anyway, I would like to take some of it back, it is clear that you ended up showing to everyone that someone like you still has it. It is all going to be the most satisfying when I end up completely beating you and I take your championship as mine. Because you are a man who resorts to words at the end of the day, you have talent in heaps but you would rather go at it from a mental perspective, something that becomes useless after you have given away your tricks so many times. You are a charlatan at the end of the day, and after so much I have gone through, something like lies won’t affect me at all. Not when I am finally so close to being able to achieve the opportunity of becoming the rightful world champion that I deserve to be. For my group and for my supporters. I don’t care what anyone else or you think about that.
(The crowd boos heavily as Jon Kelton grabs the contract, the pen and then signs it right in the dotted line before pushing it towards Chef Viz. He cracks a small smile before he continues talking into his own microphone.)
Chef Viz: Love the enthusiasm, but there is no spice to it. Calling yourself the Devil but you ain’t bringing any fire from hell, it is slightly funny to me that you talk to me all serious and continue going with the persona, just more cutthroat and ruthless, and more annoying than before because you lost your mid card championship, let me guess, are you going to go at me for never pinning you in our match in the future despite you having to get your hand grabbed by your group in that match and guided to the restroom of the pool like you are a 4 year old. At least the Devolution at that time was new, it was stronger, you didn’t have mistakes people could go at you for just yet, but now? Now you are getting guided by the colonizer trio, get it because they are all british, and somehow, the even more shit Usagi Senshi. What happened, man? You were on top of the world and now, you got everyone speaking ill of your name. You threatened two weeks ago that last week it is when “hell would start for me”, but you did jack shit!
Jon Kelton: Because laying out Scott Diamond once and for all was a taste of what would happen to you.
Chef Viz: Alright, cool, round of applause! You beat a guy that had to resort to bogus refereeing to beat me. And I said in commentary it was impressive… for you. That for me is any day of the week. And even PJ got you beat in that front by beating him straight up as well so what’s your excuse there now? You barely got nothing when it comes to material against me, I have already stated various times that you are just not fit to have this kind of belt, if you having the National Elite Championship resorted to lying and having to get bailed almost every time, you won’t be able to carry something like this and put it on the prestige that is supposed to be. Some people are just not meant to be World Champion at all, and you might just be one of them. You will just end up caving in by the pressure of holding this championship on your shoulders and you will end up failing spectacularly. Big ego, small body. You are nothing more than “has been” written right on your forehead and you will be forced to endure that for probably the rest of your life. At least you will get the Visual Prophet match that you wanted so bad, and an autograph as a consolation prize. Just for you.
(Chef Viz quickly grabbed the pen and then went to sign the contract as well before-)
Eve: JON KELTON SUDDENLY FLIPPED THE TABLE ONTO CHEF VIZ AND NOW HE IS PUMMELING WITH PUNCHES AND FISTS!
Deadprez: KELTON DID NOT LIKE WHAT HE SAID TO HIM AT ALL!
Gavin Kirkland: MY CHEF IS FIGHTING BACK THOUGH WITH EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS! HE QUICKLY STARTS THROWING HAYMAKERS AND DEFENDS HIMSELF! KELTON TRIES TO GO FOR AN ELBOW STRIKE BUT CHEF VIZ SUDDENLY PICKS HIM UP BEFORE THROWING HIM CHEST FIRST INTO THE ROPES!
Eve: Viz adjusts his tie before he starts running the ring apron and bounces off the ropes, he gets some speed in as he tries to go for the KISS TO THE HEAD-
Deadprez: FINAL ATONEMENT! KELTON COMES RUNNING BACK AND HE CUTS THROUGH CHEF VIZ WITH THE SPEAR, GODDAMN!
(Jon Kelton slowly gets up and looks at the downed Chef Viz. As he reaches down to grab the Answers World Championship. He picks it up into his hands to look down at it for a few seconds before he puts a foot over Viz’ body and then he raises the championship up in the air. And while the crowd reacts to him with loud boos, the show closes out with Jon Kelton holding up the Answers World Championship in the air.)
