(EAW Intro Plays)
(There is no intro recap, instead it goes straight to the ring where there are pictures of Milli Banks, and a beautiful memorial set up in the ring with flowers and a pair of her wrestling gear. Standing around the memorial is a spotlight that shows Silas Mason dressed in all black, along with Donovan Duke, Ronan Malosi, Harper Lee too all dressed in black, then Brianna Hill in her wrestling gear but it is also black with some silver trim. The crowd is booing as Silas looks around, all of Silas World are acting very sad because of the “death” to Milli Banks.)
Deadprez: Showdown fans, we apologize for the beginning of this program tonight and no recap, but we are starting off with Silas World in the ring as they are doing a memorial service for Milli Banks.
Gavin Kirkland: This is so sad. (sobs) I’m going to miss her tight little ass.
Eve: You are so stupid. They are mocking what happened to Milli Banks at Shock Value last week when she was defeated by Bea Valentine in a brutal match. As we know, Milli did collapse in the back after the match and was rushed to the hospital, we have heard nothing since.
Gavin Kirkland: WAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAH! I can’t contain myself!
(Silas Mason gets up to the small podium that they have set up as the rest of Silas World are dramatically overacting as they seem to be extremely sad.)
Silas Mason: Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. It is an unfortunate turn of events that we are all gathered here today to celebrate the life and career of Milli Banks. It is really a shame that she met her untimely demise at Shock Value last week and now Elysium is one less member, but we must also keep Bronson Daniels in mind because he is mourning right now and it really is an unfortunate set of circumstances. Such a shame.
(The crowd boos loudly.)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Silas Mason: Milli Banks was an incredible female competitor. The first to defeat Minerva at a Pain For Pride to become the Universal Women’s Champion. She almost was the longest reigning Specialist Champion and is the Longest Universal Women’s Champion now to record. She was a top draft pick for Showdown and one of the premiere female wrestlers in the EAW. She had a budding relationship with Veena Adams that is very hard to maintain and most importantly, an inspiration for all the little girls out there right now watching this.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Silas Mason: I felt it proper that we here on Showdown and Silas World show some compassion for this young lady and respect the athlete that she was indeed. I know that all of us here have a few words to say in memorium.
(Silas steps away as Brianna Hill is the first to take the stage.)
Brianna Hill: I hardly knew her, but if one thing Milli Banks did teach us is that even sluts like her can gain popularity. One of the most unlikeable people on this planet and people cheered her because they could relate.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Brianna Hill: But I am going to miss her. Everything that she stood for which was all for nothing. Her constant meddling, and finally all the times she tried to stop us were all for nothing. RIP.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(Brianna Hill steps down, and now it is Ronan Malosi who walks up and says a few words.)
Ronan Malosi: Too bad, so sad.
(He doesn’t say another word and steps off to the chorus of boos.)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(Next is Harper Lee who walks up next, and she looks absolutely devastated by the demise of Milli Banks. She takes a moment before speaking.)
Harper lee: Please give me a second. I am sorry.
(As she is making a spectacle of this all, fake crying and acting all sad, Donovan Duke walks up and gives her a hug.)
Donovan Duke: (Off Mic) It’s going to be okay. You can get through this.)
Harper Lee: (Off Mic) Thank you so much for being this supportive to me during this difficult time.
(As she “sobs”, the crowd let the two have it as Donovan steps down and allows for Harper to continue her speech.)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Harper Lee: What a sad day. To know that Milli Banks is gone just breaks my heart. Milli was a necessity here in the EAW, she was the one woman that all of you cheered for, and we thwarted. Of course, she wasn’t as talented as you all made her out to be, but we stood by her because she was that one underdog that everyone wanted to cheer for. The love for her sister, the thuggish tendencies, the woman that all the little girls wanted to be, and their parents vomited at the idea, but she was REAL people, okay!? Milli was REAL!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Harper Lee: She will be sorely missed. I am not going to enjoy never getting the chance to bash her face in. I mean, she really did have a punchable face, but oh well. Milli, rest in peace.
(Harper turns and nods to Donovan Duke who comes up next, the fans let him have it.)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Donovan Duke: I know all of you are sad and I do feel it too, my heart pours for all of you Philadelphia idiots.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Donovan Duke: Instead of being respectful for a woman that sacrificed everything for all of you and put her life on the line to defend a title that she ended up losing to a drama queen anyway and all you can do is boo? SHAMEFUL!
Crowd: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
Donovan Duke: This is exactly what I mean, and these are Milli Banks fans. See, Milli Banks meant a lot to Showdown. She was the Universal Women’s Champion but the second she lost the title she also lost her value in this brand. We are all saddened that Milli is gone now because I am going to miss seeing her face again and again like I did at Road to Redemption when I took the Answers World Championship from her beau. Those are the moments we never forget.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Donovan Duke: Milli….. I hope you are listening to me wherever you are. That you will see what happens to Bronson, Jon, and Veena. I think that I speak for everyone by saying that we are all happy that she is gone!
(Donovan Duke starts to laugh but quickly corrects himself as he steps down and hugs Silas before he makes his way back to the podium.)
Silas Mason: It was beautiful. Now we can have a moment of silence and a ten ring of the bell salute.
(They all stand in silence as finally the bells start to ring.)
DING!!!!
DING!!!!
DING!!!!
DING!!!!
DING!!!!
DING!!!!
DING!!!!
DING!!!!
DING!!!!
DING!!!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(The crowd continues to boo as Silas looks out and shakes his head.)
Silas Mason: In closing there is something that I would like to say. Casualties in wrestling happen all the time. Charlie Marr, now Milli Banks. Bronson and Veena have lost their loved ones. All that is left seems to be Jon Kelton. It would be a damn shame if something happened to his girlfriend too, the woman with the prettiest eyes in all of the EAW, Pandora Paisley. But mayb –
(The crowd explodes into cheers as Jon Kelton comes running out from the back with a steel chair, Bronson Daniels and Veena Adams follow as Silas World see what is coming and Silas quickly jumps out the ring.)
Deadprez: AND HERE COMES THE CAVALRY! BRONSON DANIELS! JON KELTON WITH A CHAIR AND VEENA ADAMS ARE CHARGING THE RING! SILAS MASON HAS ALREADY JUMPED OUT OF THE RING!
Eve: WHEN KELTON HEARD WHAT SILAS SAID ABOUT PANDORA THAT WAS IT! HE CAME RUNNING OUT WITH A CHAIR AND LOOK AT SILAS WORLD! THEY ARE ALL GETTING OUT OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: HOW DISRESPECTFUL TO INTERUPT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY! THIS IS UNJUST AND RIDICULOUS!
(SLAM!!!!!)
Eve: JON KELTON TOOK A SWING AT RONAN MALOSI BUT MISSED AND HIT THE MAT AS RONAN WAS ABLE TO JUMP OUT. HE TRIES TO GET BACK IN BUT DONOVAN DUKE IS HOLDING HIM BACK!
Deadprez: VEENA ADAMS AND HARPER LEE HAVE COME TO BLOWS AND VEENA IS ABOUT TO DROP HER WITH A DDT BUT NO! SILAS IS ABLE TO GRAB HARPER’S LEG AND DRAG HER OUT!
(SMASH!!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON DANIELS HAS COMPLETELY LOST IT! HE IS DESTROYING THE MEMORIAL AND THE PICTURE OF MILLI THEY HAD WITH THE FLOWERS! HE THREW IT RIGHT AT SILAS AND HERE COMES OFFICIALS NOW TO SEPARATE EVERYONE!
Deadprez: THERE IS MADNESS GOING ON RIGHT NOW, BUT WHEN WE CLEAR THIS UP AND COME BACK FROM COMMERICAL BREAK, BRONSON DANIELS WILL TAKE ON BRIANNA HILL!
(The chaotic scene sees Bronson, Veena and Kelton in the ring as the officials work to get them out, same with Silas World on the outside as the officials and security try to restore order for the opening match as it fades into a commercial break.)
(The chaotic scene has finally been brought to order. Brianna Hill and Bronson Daniels are in the ring as the referee calls for the bell to start the match.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: This match is underway now and you have to imagine that this is a powder keg ready to explode at any minute. We have Silas World out here in full force as well as Veena Adams and Jon Kelton at ringside. It’s almost looking like a Lumberjack Match out here with how many people we have at ringside.
Deadprez: It will definitely be interesting for sure but Bronson Daniels looks like his attention is focused fully on his opponent Brianna Hill as they slowly pace around the ring and prepare to lock up to start this match. They lock up in the middle of the ring but Brianna quickly breaks free as soon as Bronson shoves her back. Brianna with a grimace on her face before locking up again as they fight for position in the ring. Bronson shoves Brianna back but then Brianna fights her way forward instead. Brianna then breaks free and chops hard at Bronson but Bronson catches her off guard with an Overhead Chop knocking her arm away. Bronson possibly scoring an early psychological victory here over Brianna.
Eve: Brianna Hill suddenly lashes out with punches towards Bronson Daniels looking to catch him off guard but Bronson easily dodges away from them jumping around the ring. Bronson is floating like a butterfly here but we will see if he can sting like a bee. Bronson is dodging the attacks from Brianna. Brianna eventually hits the ropes in frustration as Bronson steps up to her in the middle of the ring. Bronson tells Brianna to hit him as hard as she can right in the jaw!
(SMASH!)
Deadprez: Brianna Hill just smashed her fist into the jaw of Bronson Daniels but he just smiles and then unloads on her with a series of straight right hands! But Brianna is fighting back too and they are going back and forth now! An all out brawl has broken out! Bronson! Brianna! Bronson! Brianna! Eventually both competitors punch each other out at the same time both staggering backwards and falling into the corner as the crowd cheers them on. So far neither one has managed to get a clear advantage!
Crowd: BRONSON! BRONSON! BRONSON!
Gavin Kirkland: Many people in the Showdown audience believe that Bronson Daniels is the rightful Answers World Champion and they are showing their full support here tonight. Some even consider him to be the uncrowned champion of this brand and a victory tonight would go a long way in cementing those claims.
Eve: Both competitors meet up in the ring as they go to lock up! But Bronson Daniels ducks under the arms of Brianna Hill and goes around behind her! Bronson kicks the leg out from under Brianna and then kicks upwards catching her in the midsection. Brianna falls backwards as Bronson grabs her legs from behind and lifts her up before dropping her down with an Atomic Drop! Brianna stays on her feet but that definitely hurt her as she falls up against the ropes-
Deadprez: Brianna falls back towards Bronson who hooks the arm. Bronson lifts Brianna high up in the air for a Suplex! But Brianna sandbags him and refuses to let Bronson lift her up! She falls backwards onto her feet and falls backwards across the ring but she keeps hold of Bronson! Brianna reverses it and hits a Suplex on Bronson instead! Brianna takes Bronson down for the first time in the match and quickly grabs him around the neck and applies a Sleeper Hold. Brianna is applying his forearm across the carotid artery of Bronson and she is possibly attempting an illegal chokehold and the referee is checking to confirm if that is indeed the case.
Referee: Hmmm…
Brianna Hill: ???
Referee: Oh nah… ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!-
Eve: And it looks like the referee did in fact determine that it was an illegal chokehold and that will not be allowed. Silas Mason is loudly protesting this outside the ring but Brianna has already released the hold and the match will continue. The referee is just doing his job and they care deeply about the rules here on Showdown which has long been established as the best pure wrestling brand in the entire world.
Deadprez: Brianna Hill releases the hold as Bronson Daniels collapses to the ground. Bronson begins to get back up as Brianna rushes in with a kick to the leg. But Bronson leaps over it! Brianna spins around and uses her momentum to hit a Jumping Spin Kick! But Bronson catches the leg of Brianna knocking her down to the ground! But Brianna kips up with her other leg and nails Bronson right in the nose with her boot sending him back into the ropes. Bronson off the ropes as he lands on the outstretched legs of Brianna who tosses Bronson across the ring and he lands down hard on his back. Bronson back up as Brianna goes for a Buzzsaw Kick to the head but Bronson ducks it! Bronson grabs Brianna from behind and takes her down into a Victory Roll!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: But Brianna kicks out not even a one count! Silas World is clearly happy with this and applauding at ringside but Brianna looks annoyed that she got put in that position to begin with! Brianna rolls out of the ring and she is conversing now with Silas Mason who is whispering into her ear. Bronson yells at Brianna to get back in the ring which she does now with renewed focus. Brianna meets up with Bronson in the ring as they go to lock up but Bronson is not interested in rest holds! He headbutts Brianna hard in the face and she collapses to the mat!
Eve: Bronson now looks to take advantage as he grabs Brianna and maneuvers her into a Side Headlock. But Brianna quickly shoves him off. Bronson goes into the side of the ring before bouncing off and Brianna grabs him from behind and goes for a Backdrop. But Bronson dodges it switching around behind Brianna. Brianna runs in but Bronson catches her with a Knee Strike to the head! Brianna goes down and Bronson wanders around the ring before falling flat to the mat! Bronson with a Falling Headbutt nailing Brianna right in the head and that was an interesting looking self sacrificial maneuver. Bronson using his whole body now to batter Brianna as she gets back up and he runs in throwing his full weight at her tackling her backwards. Brianna flies into the corner and spits up everywhere having the wind and spit knocked out of her off that blow from Bronson! Bronson grabs Brianna and takes her down with a Side Slam and goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: T-
Deadprez: Barely one there as Brianna Hill kicks out! I think I saw Harper Lee almost about to enter the ring there and interfere. Good thing that she did not otherwise that would have been an immediate DQ and loss for Brianna. Silas World of course has become very well known for their interference in matches in recent weeks and you can tell they are just waiting for a chance to get involved here behind the referee’s back.
Jon Kelton: (off-mic) DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT YA DUMB BI-
Eve: Well Jon Kelton is clearly not pleased and I imagine if Silas World does actually interfere he is going to do something about it personally.
Deadprez: As soon as Brianna Hill gets up Bronson Daniels grabs her and takes her down with a Snapmare into a Headlock… But Brianna slips out of it and grabs the arm of Bronson switching around into an Armbar. But Bronson flips out of it and rolls back up to his feet. Both competitors back up and they rush in at each other! Double Clothesline! Both were thinking the same thing and both got it! They both go down and they are not moving. Looks like that took the wind out of them and the referee is counting them out. We could have a draw here!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NIN-
Gavin Kirkland: Both wrestlers get back to their feet and beat the count! Brianna immediately hits a Dropkick on Bronson and he goes down again. Bronson takes a Running Elbow Drop from Brianna who goes for a cover!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNN-
Eve: It will take more than an elbow drop to put a former World Champion like Bronson Daniels away! Brianna gets on top of Bronson and she is throwing punches at him! But Bronson catches her fist and shoves her back! Bronson grabs the other arm of Brianna and pins her down to the mat using all of his strength!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: But Brianna Hill manages to force her shoulders back up off the mat. Brianna spits in the face of Bronson and that might have been a mistake as she just pissed him off! Bronson lifts Brianna up in the air and drops her down hard with a Sit Down Powerbomb! Damn the force of that thing shook the whole ring!
Eve: But Bronson is not done yet! Bronson picks Brianna up and goes for another Sit Down Powerbomb!!!-
Deadprez: Wait what the hell! Donovan Duke just grabbed the leg of Bronson under the ring and tripped him! The referee didn’t see it! Bronson drops Brianna and Brianna immediately hits a Curb Stomp on Bronson! Brianna with the cover! Oh hell! Not this waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Kickout by Bronson Daniels! And Jon Kelton is going off now! Kelton and Veena Adams are running around the ring now and throwing punches at Donovan Duke and Harper Lee at ringside! Ronan Malosi goes to help out but Silas Mason pulls him aside and hides behind him! All hell has broken loose at ringside here tonight on Showdown!
Eve: The referee is now yelling at everyone outside the ring that they need to stop fighting but I’m not sure what good that will do! Brianna Hill is looking on in confusion as she goes to help out Donovan and Harper but Bronson grabs her from behind and turns her around! Bronson with a fist to the face followed up by leaping up onto her shoulders! A Hurricanrana throws Brianna across the ring! Meanwhile outside the ring Kelton just threw Donovan Duke over the barricade and he crashed down on the time keeper’s chair! Veena Adams grabs the chair and hits Harper Lee in the face with it! It looks like Silas World has been neutralized for the time being!
(Officials are shown coming to ringside to convince Kelton and Veena to back away from the members of Silas World and return to their side of the ring.)
Deadprez: Bronson has Brianna Hill in a rest hold in the ring now as it looks like things have calmed down fairly quickly out here. Donovan Duke and Harper Lee are pulling themselves back over the barricade and they are not happy about what has just transpired. Brianna back up to her feet as Bronson grabs her around the neck and then grabs her by the arm taking her down to the mat. Bronson rolls across the legs of Brianna and then grabs her by the leg and transitions into a Crucifix but Brianna manages to roll out of it. Both back up to their feet and Brianna slaps Bronson across the face.
Gavin Kirkland: Nice. She getting feisty now!
Eve: Bronson Daniels won’t take that as he immediately lunges low grabbing the leg of Brianna Hill and takes Brianna down into a leg lock! But Brianna gets back up with Bronson grabbing her arm instead taking her down! Brianna grabs the ropes falling smartly towards them and the referee forces the break.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Deadprez: Bronson uses the full five count before releasing the hold before getting back up. Brianna lunges in at Bronson!
Gavin Kirkland: But Bronson falls backwards and kicks his feet up while grabbing the arms of Brianna! Brianna falls onto her back instead but Bronson grabs her by the legs and throws her backwards with a Catapult. Bronson stays on her and grabs the legs of Brianna twisting her into a Spinning Toe Hold! But Brianna kicks him off. Brianna kicks out at Bronson and manages to do a back somersault across the ring away from him before running in and leaps up onto him in midair with a Leg Scissors! Brianna has the Leg Scissors applied on a standing Bronson and this takes incredible core strength to pull off. Even this crowd that hates Brianna’s guts has to admire dem abs!
Eve: But Bronson Daniels slaps his hands repeatedly across the ears of Brianna Hill knocking her off him and forcing her to break the hold. Both competitors back up as Brianna sweeps the leg of Bronson and he lands on his back but immediately springs back up to his feet! Bronson grabs Brianna’s arm and throws her across the ring with an Arm Drag but she is back up as well. Brianna lunges in at Bronson with a Spear but he moves out of the way! Brianna almost goes into the corner but stops herself. Bronson grabs her from behind with a School Boy rollup!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: The kickout by Brianna Hill!
Eve: Brianna back up but Bronson immediately hooks her into a Double Nelson from behind. Bronson wraps his arms around Brianna. But Brianna jumps up and kicks backwards with her feet breaking the arms of Bronson and propelling herself forward. Bronson falls into the ropes and nearly out of the ring but he grabs the ropes and pulls himself back under the apron. Close call there considering that was the side of the ring that Silas World is on. Definitely would not have been a good idea to fall out there…
Deadprez: Bronson pulls himself back up under the bottom rope but Brianna Hill grabs him by the arm and locks him into a Cross Armbreaker in the middle of the ring! Bronson might have to tap out here which would not be good! But he manages to stand up with Brianna on his arm and whips her down slamming her onto her back. But I think Bronson tore out his arm doing that and now he is yelling in pain and holding his arm. Bronson grabs Brianna and spikes her down to the mat with a DDT. Bronson now going up to the top rope and looking to put Brianna away…
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson Daniels leaps off the top rope with a 450 Splash!!!!-
Veena Adams: (off-mic) LOOK OUT BRONNIE BAE!
Eve: The warning from Veena Adams came just in time as Brianna Hill put her knees up! But Bronson had it scouted and he flipped over Brianna and rolled onto his feet across the ring! Brianna back up as Bronson runs towards her…
Deadprez: But Brianna fires back! These Elitists are back to slugging it out once again throwing the wrestling out the window! They are brawling and these Elitists are looking for any kind of momentum!
Eve: Bronson Daniels grabs Brianna Hill by the throat! He picks her up suddenly in the ring and is going for a Chokeslam! The referee lunges out of the wa-
Gavin Kirkland: The referee got hit by the kicking desperation of Brianna and falls into the corner landing face down! The referee is on hands and knees slowly getting back up here! But Bronson still has Brianna up in the air!
Deadprez: But Donovan Duke reaches under the bottom rope and grabs the leg of Bronson!
Eve: But Bronson saw it and leapt over it! Bronson drops Brianna and turns around and kicks Donovan outside the ring! Silas World getting involved yet again!
Deadprez: WAIT LOOK OUT FROM BEHIND!
Eve: Small Package from Brianna! She pulls Bronson in for it!
Referee: …
Deadprez: But the referee is still getting back up after Brianna accidentally kicked him in the face!
Eve: Wait look! Veena Adams just jumped in the ring!
Deadprez: Veena Adams is pushing Brianna Hill over! Brianna has Bronson in the Small Package but the pinfall is being reversed!
Eve: And the referee is up now and making the count!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEE-
Eve: But Silas World jumps into the ring!!!-
Referee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: They are too late as Jon Kelton and Veena Adams rush into the ring as well to cut them off!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… BRRRRRRRRRONSONNNNNNNNNN DANIELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL-
Eve: Gina Romano’s match result declaration has been interrupted as all hell has broken loose here at ringside! Silas World is now brawling with Elysium and Veena Adams! Ronan Malosi just entered the ring with a steel chair!-
Deadprez: But Veena with a Superkick kicks it right back in his face!
Eve: And now the backstage security is emptying out into the arena! A flood of guards has filled the ring and is tackling all the competitors!
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Deadprez: The crowd wants this to continue and I can’t blame them! We will be back with more Showdown action as soon as order is restored!
(Jon Kelton is shown breaking free of security and lunging onto Harper Lee as the show cuts to a commercial.)
(A commercial airs featuring the announcement that Def Rebel will be replacing every theme song for all Elitists on the EAW roster.)
(The camera has cut to the backstage area as we see Grace De Luca walking backstage with a purpose. She has an angry and annoyed look on her face as she stops at where she was heading. The camera turns and shows that the door belongs to the office of Interim General Manager Alana Starr. Grace puts a fake smile on her face as she composes herself and knocks on Alana’s door.)
(KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!)
(Alana did not answer the door and Grace simply shrugs it off as Alana just not hearing her knock at the door. Grace decides to help out and announce herself to make sure Alana hears her.)
Grace De Luca: Miss Alana!! It’s me. The one and only Grace De Luca. I would really like to speak to you for a quick moment. I promise that it won’t take
(KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!)
(Alana doesn’t answer again as Grace is starting to wonder what in the world is going on. Being “ignored” is something that Grace is not really accustomed to feeling. Again, Grace doesn’t think much of it and tries to talk to Alana through the door again.)
Grace De Luca: Miss Alana!! I hope I didn’t get on your nerves with the complaint of not having Evian water in my locker room or the choices we had for catering. I will be more than willing to rescind those complaints for the moment if you answer the door because I need to talk to you right now. This is very important.
(KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!)
Grace De Luca: Miss Alana!! I know you are a very busy woman right now, but I have a few things I have to tell you right and I really can’t wait for them to be addressed. It is of utmost importance that you please answer the door, Miss Alana. I would really appreciate it.
(KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!)
(Alana has still not answered the door and the frustration is starting to build inside Grace as her peaceful look is starting to get more annoyed by the second.)
Grace De Luca: Now, Miss Alana. Again, I understand that you are busy running the best brand of EAW… naturally because of me gracing the television screens inside the fan’s homes every Saturday night. But I am the star player of Showdown. I’m the featured player. I’m the number one person on the roster and as your biggest star on the roster, you should be going above and beyond to make sure that your biggest star is happy at all times, so please answer the door.
(KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!)
(Alana once again doesn’t respond to Grace’s knocking and that was enough for Grace to snap. She has had enough being ignored that she starts BANGING ON ALANA’S DOOR!)
Grace De Luca: MISS ALANA!!
(BANG!)
Grace De Luca: MISS ALLLLLAAAAAAANNNNNAAAAAAAA!
(BANG!)
Grace De Luca: I do NOT appreciate this treatment right now! This is NOT how you are supposed to treat your number one star on Showdown!! I DON’T LIKE THIS AT ALL! ANSWER ME!!!!
(BANG!)
Grace De Luca: OPEN THE DOOR RIGHT NOW! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, MISS ALANA!! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYTHING I NEED GETS TAKEN CARE OF!! NOW!!
(BANG!)
(It has become obvious to Grace that whether Alana is in her office or not, the door is NOT going to be answered. Because of that, Grace looks extremely pissed off that she is being ignored and nobody is around to listen to her complaints.)
Grace De Luca: I cannot believe that I am being treated this way. How in the world could the biggest star on Showdown and all of EAW be treated like this? It’s a travesty. It’s not like I am asking for much. All I am asking for is high quality water in my locker room and some suitable options in catering for somebody like myself…among the other things that I was going to talk to Alana about. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?
(Grace finishes screaming as one of the EAW Officials starts walking past Grace, but they don’t fare so lucky in walking past Grace as Grace grabs the official by the arm and pulls them back to her. The official looks confused as they look at Grace wondering what she wants.)
EAW Official: Can I help you?
Grace De Luca: Hey…. umm… UMM… YOU! What was your name again?
EAW Official: My name is Troy and we’ve never spoken before.
Grace De Luca: Oh, I am pretty sure we have spoken before, Kevin. No need to be like that because everybody knows who Grace De Luca is. The STARRRRRRRR of Showdown.
EAW Official: Unfortunately, we all know who you are….
Grace De Luca: What was that?
EAW Official: Huh? Nothing! Nothing at all!
Grace De Luca: Good. Now listen, Kevin.
EAW Official: It’s Troy.
Grace De Luca: It really doesn’t matter right now. So, listen to me, Kevin. What I need you to do right now is to go find Alana Starr or anybody else who is of equal or higher authority than her and bring them right back here to me because I need SOMEBODY to listen to my demands. It is of the highest importance.
EAW Office: It’s still Troy by the way, but I was actually in the middle of a different task right now that really needs to get–
Grace De Luca: I highly doubt that anything you are doing right now is of a higher priority than assisting the amazing Grace De Luca. So, Kevin….
EAW Official: Troy.
Grace De Luca: Stop interrupting me, please. That’s very rude. Now you just go right ahead and find someone with authority around here and bring them back to me. ON THE DOUBLE!!
(Poor Troy just looks on with a mix of shock and disgust before rolling his eyes and walking away. He wasn’t going to look for anybody, he just wanted to get away from Grace. But the cameras do pick up one last thing Troy said.)
EAW Official: Spoiled bitch.
(Grace is finally content now that she has somebody “looking” for Alana or another authoritative figure to come listen to a new set of her “demands” she looks at her watch and taps her foot on the ground in impatience as she really doesn’t like waiting for anything.)
Grace De Luca: Where in the world is Kevin. I have been waiting for like thirty minutes for him.
(It’s only been two minutes.)
Grace De Luca: Oh my gosh. I am so not going to give Kevin a good rating online after this horrible service.
(Other Officials come within sight of Grace, but when they see Grace waiting at Alana’s door ,they immediately turn in the other direction because Grace already has a reputation of being annoying and demanding. Grace is still impatiently waiting before a voice behind her snaps her out of her thoughts.)
???: You are aware that nobody helps you because you are a spoiled little brat.
(Grace jumps and quickly turns around to see Auburn Ware is behind her. Auburn is the last person Grace wants to see, so Grace overdramatically groans.)
Grace De Luca: Why in the world are you here, Burgundy?
Auburn Ware: You know darn well that my name is Auburn, so stop playing stupid… unless you really are that stupid.
Grace De Luca: How dare you talk to me like that!! I am not stupid!! Especially after what happened last week when I won the match.
Auburn Ware: You cheated.
Grace De Luca: I have no idea what you are talking about. I won the match fair and square!
Auburn Ware: Since when is using hairspray to blind your opponent fair and square. Do you have any idea what fair and square means?
Grace De Luca: Of course I do! My brain is like a walking encyclopedia of definitions and things like that.
(Auburn rolls her eyes and rubs her temples because she can’t believe that Grace is really that stupid.)
Auburn Ware: Whatever. It still doesn’t take away from the fact that not only are you a cheater, you are also a coward!
Grace De Luca: I am not a coward.
Auburn Ware: You could have fooled me when you ran away from ringside after I tried to get into the ring after your match.
Grace De Luca: If protecting myself from any unnecessary harm means I am a coward then I guess I am a coward. But I would much rather be a coward than a tattletale.
Auburn Ware: A tattletale?? Since when did we go back to fourth grade?
Grace De Luca: Last week when you tried to tell the referee that I did something wrong.
Auburn Ware: You did! You used hairspray to help you beat your opponent!
Grace De Luca: THAT’S NOT THE POINT! The point is that the unique opportunity that you stole at Reasonable Doubt is mine! I know it and you know it as well. Stop trying to deny it!
Auburn Ware: Are you still on that?
Grace De Luca: Yes because it’s MINE! You stole that opportunity from ME! I was the winner. That unique opportunity was MINE! GIVE IT BACK TO ME!
(Auburn looks at Grace, almost trying to not laugh in her face. She thinks about it for a second before answering Grace.)
Auburn Ware: Fine.
Grace De Luca: Fine?
Auburn Ware: Fine! You want the opportunity so badly, then come and take it at Grand Rampage.
Grace De Luca: Grand Rampage?
Auburn Ware: That’s right. Grand Rampage. You want my opportunity so darn badly, then face me in a match at Grand Rampage and I will put my unique opportunity at stake. You manage to beat me, then it’s yours. You lose and I don’t want you to even bring it up in conversation ever again. So, what do you say? Are you gonna accept my challenge?
(Grace is stunned by the way Auburn talked to her. How dare she? But Auburn is putting her opportunity at stake and that’s all Grace needed to hear.)
Grace De Luca: I accept. I will take you on at Grand Rampage and take back what was rightfully MINE! Right now, I am going to give you something that’s rightfully yours.
(Grace quickly finishes and tries to slap Auburn in the face, BUT AUBURN BLOCKS IT! In return, Auburn punches Grace in the face and catches Grace with a right hook that takes Grace down. Grace is holding her face in pain as Auburn looks down at Grace.)
Auburn Ware: See you at Grand Rampage.
(Auburn walks away feeling proud with what she did before the camera moves down to the floor where Grace is holding her face in pain.)
Grace De Luca: She punched my face!! How dare she… AND WHERE THE HELL IS KEVIN! I WANT ALANA… AND SOME ICE… AND THE DOCTOR! THAT REALLY HURT!! HMPH!
(The final shot shows Grace holding her face and whining and crying on the floor wanting some help before the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(The camera has returned to the ring where Gina Romano is standing with a microphone in hand and a smile on her face as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next Showdown contest.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! This next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Lowlife Princess” by BIBI starts playing as the crowd immediately starts to boo as Miku Sakai enters the arena. Miku looks extremely pissed off as she doesn’t waste a second and just storms right to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making her way to the ring! From Fukui, Japan! Weighing 110 pounds. Here is MIKU SAKAI!
Deadprez: To say the least, Miku Sakai has been on something one step below an absolute tirade after everything that went down at Reasonable Doubt. Almost like she is having a psychological breakdown.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh absolutely love it. Just makes her that much hotter. I kinda dig crazy chicks.
Eve: You are disgusting. Anyways, Miku Sakai is stopping at nothing until she gets another title opportunity because she has yet to have her “earned” and “deserved” singles title mat–
(Eve is cut off by Miku Sakai sliding into the ring and snatching the microphone from Gina Romano’s hand as Miku Sakai starts waving Gina out.)
Miku Sakai: We’re done listening to you, bitch. Get out of my ring. NOW! I have something to say.
(The crowd starts booing even louder after Miku throws Gina out of the ring.)
Deadprez: What in the hell is this?!?! Miku grabs the microphone from Gina and forces her out of the ring. I mean she has a match in just a few moments.
Eve: I guess we are having the Miku Sakai Show right now. Miku has the microphone and I can already tell you that this isn’t going to be good. Let’s sit back and hear what Miku has to say… as if we already didn’t know.
(Gina shakes her head and starts to leave the ring and walks back to the commentary table. Miku is glaring out at the crowd and rolls her eyes in disgust before she brings the microphone up to address the crowd.)
Miku Sakai: No! No! No No No No No No No! NO!! I know that I am supposed to have a match right now… if you can call it that. But I could give two shits less about it because what I have to say is much more important than me beating the shit out of some loser.
(Miku glares up at the top of the entrance ramp and rolls her eyes before she continues to speak.)
Miku Sakai: Alana. Bitch. I want you to listen to what I have to say very closely. And because I know the big words tend to go over your head, I am going to say this as simply as I possibly can for you to understand. THAT GOES FOR THE REST OF THE ROSTER IN THE BACK!!
Miku Sakai: I am sick of this. I am fed up with this and I HAVE HAD IT!! I have EARNED a one on one championship match. I DESERVE a one on one championship match, but every single fucking time I get one, the “higher ups” always change it at the last second to play bleeding heart for losers that haven’t earned a damn thing in their pathetic lives.
(The crowd starts booing even louder after that remark because they know the truth and that Miku is full of crap.)
Miku Sakai: SHUT UP!! ALL OF YOU CAN SHUT THE FUCK UP BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW THE TRUTH!! YOU ALL KNOW THAT WHAT I AM SAYING IS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT TRUTH!!
Crowd: BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!!
Miku Sakai: You idiots are sheep and nothing more. Nothing is going to be able to convince me otherwise. Now you all just shut up and listen. If there is anybody on this damn roster who deserves to be a challenger for a championship… IT’S ME!!
(The crowd doesn’t agree and they keep booing Miku out of the building. Miku is getting more annoyed by the second as she looks down to keep her temper in check before she looks up and continues speaking.)
Miku Sakai: Denial is not healthy, especially for you idiots. But listen closely. I deserved another one on one shot at the National Elite Championship but that was ruined because they chose to add that little shit for brains Cody Maverick to MY match. With that being said, I DESERVE another shot at the National Elite Championship.
Miku Sakai: Shit! Why should I limit myself to just one title? I don’t deserve a shot at just the National Elite Championship. Shit, I will take a shot at any title that this company has to offer. Whether it be that loser Cody Maverick or that psycho midget Donovan Duke or maybe I’ll go to Voltage and take that whore Bea Valentine’s title or the title of her roided up boyfriend.
Miku Sakai: Hey!! All you idiots in the Showdown locker room and on the Showdown roster need to listen up HERE AND NOW! I am DEMANDING A SHOT AND I AM DEMANDING THAT YOU GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT NOW! Because everybody knows that I am the best fuc–
???: That is ENOUGH! Shut your MOUTH, Miku!!
(Miku is looking around wondering who in the hell had the audacity to interrupt her while she was speaking. Miku doesn’t have to wait very long as she turns to see Alana Starr walking out onto the stage to loud cheers from the crowd.)
Eve: To take an old saying, I think that business is about to pick up here as Alana Starr is here. She probably has had enough of what Miku has been saying.
Gavin Kirkland: I am just glad that she’s here. I love a beautiful woman in power.
Deadprez: You are so creepy sometimes. But Alana has been running things on Showdown for the last few weeks as Interim General Manager. Miku Sakai is trying to pull a power play, but let’s see what Alana has to say.
(Alana has a microphone in her hand and a small smirk on her face as she looks at the ring at Miku whose eyes have not left Alana as Alana begins to speak.)
Alana Starr: Miku Sakai. I have been listening to everything you had to say just a few moments ago. Let me tell you right now that if you call me bitch again like that, then you won’t be fighting for a title. You will be fighting to keep your job. Is that understood?
(The crowd starts to cheer hearing that Miku is on thin ice with Alana.)
Miku Sakai: Yeah yeah. I’ll stop calling you bitch.
Alana Starr: I appreciate your attempt at sentiment, Miku, so let’s move on with what you have said.
Miku Sakai: That’s all I am asking. Is it so much to ask to get my well deserved one on one title match? Time and time again I have been screwed over like many of the women on the Showdown roster who can’t stay off their backs.
Alana Starr: Are you done complaining, Miku.
Miku Sakai: Until I get my title shot… NO!
Alana Starr: You know, Miku. If you would be quiet and listen to me for a second, then you would have heard by now that I think you are right.
Miku Sakai: Of course I am right. I am the most deserving member of Showdown.
Alana Starr: Well that statement could be up for debate, but as I was saying, you are right. You do deserve a title shot. But so does your opponent who will be coming out in a second… SORN. Actually, a lot of other Elitists on the Showdown roster deserve a title shot as well. With that being said, Miku, I am going to give you exactly what you want.
(The crowd starts booing again as they did not like hearing that Miku is getting another title shot thanks to all her complaining.)
Miku Sakai: I KNEW IT! I KNEW THAT I WAS GOING TO GET ANOTHER TITLE SHOT! So what title am I gonna get a match for?
Alana Starr: Oh, Miku. You didn’t let me finish. You will get your shot… under one condition.
Miku Sakai: For the love of gawd! What fucking condition do I have to deal with now?
Alana Starr: It’s pretty simple, Miku. You will get your title shot, but in order to get it, you will have to outlast and defeat 29 other Elitists… IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!!
(The crowd starts cheering even louder hearing that Miku doesn’t get another title match… unless she can win the Grand Rampage match. Miku, on the other hand, is fuming with anger.)
Miku Sakai: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME AGAIN! THIS IS BULLSHIT! I DON’T FUCKING BELIEVE IT! I’M GETTING SCREWED OVER AGAIN!
Alana Starr: I know this is hard to hear, but right now you should put Grand Rampage out of your mind because you have a match coming up next. I suggest you start getting ready for that. Good luck.
(Alana has a smile on her face as she walks backstage. Miku is pissed beyond belief as she throws the microphone halfway up the entrance ramp before she starts going ballistic in the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no. Miku is angry again. I better go to the ring and console.
Eve: Yeah, good luck with that. Miku wanted another title shot and Alana has made it perfectly clear that for her to get another title match, she needs to win the Grand Rampage. Now Miku is blowing a gasket.
Deadprez: She better get it all out of her system now because when we come back from commercial break, we will have the introduction of Miku’s opponent Sorn, and it will be Miku and Sorn one on one. We will be right back.
(The final shot shows Miku throwing a psychotic fit in the ring as the referee is trying to calm Miku down as the camera fades to commercial break….)
(Miku Sakai paces back and forth in the ring, awaiting the arrival of her opponent as Gina Romano is heard in the background.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Rain’ by VKL plays to a positive reception from fans as Sorn makes his way onto the stage, and eyes down Miku in the ring before sauntering the ramp, high fiving a few fans along the way.)
Gina Romano: And her opponent! Hailing out of Osaka, Japan, weighing in at 167 pounds…HE IS THE FUTURE ACE…SORN!!
Eve: Sorn has a big opportunity ahead of him at Grand Rampage, and you could say the same about tonight as well, given who his competition is
Deadprez: Yeah, it could be huge for building momentum if Sorn can somehow knock off Miku Sakai.
Gavin Kirkland: But given her attitude, something tells me that’s easier said than done
(The referee signals for the bell as both competitors stand in opposing corners.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Alright, it’s Miku Sakai versus Sorn! This should be an interesting clash of styles between the two as both competitors circle around each other, and meet in the middle for a collar and elbow tie-up!
Deadprez: Sorn slips behind Miku for a rear waistlock, following that up with a rear waistlock TAKEDOWN! Miku moves to a seated position on the canvas, still trapped in that hold by Sorn
Eve: Sorn has his arms wrapped around Miku’s waist tight, attempting to squeeze the life out of her. Sakai grits through the pain, and powers back to a vertical base.
Gavin Kirkland: Standing switch by Miku! Slipping behind Sorn for a rear waistlock of her own, and- OOH! THE FUTURE ACE ESCAPES WITH A DROP TOE HOLD, CAUSING SAKAI TO FACEPLANT ONTO THE CANVAS!
Deadprez: AND SORN FLOATS OVER MIKU TO TRAP HER IN A GROUNDED FRONT FACELOCK!
Eve: Sorn tightens his hold on Miku, and she rises to her feet once again- USING AN INNOVATIVE WAY TO ESCAPE FROM THE FRONT FACELOCK! STOMPING DOWN ONTO SORN’S FOOT! SORN’S GRIP LOOSENED TREMENDOUSLY, AND MIKU WAS ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE! TWIRLING OUT THE FRONT FACELOCK, AND SCORING AN ARM WRINGER!
Deadprez: MIKU GAINS CONTROL OF THE WRIST WITH A WRISTLOCK- BUT SORN COUNTERS WITH AN ARM WRINGER OF HIS OWN, GAINING CONTROL OF MIKU’S WRIST!
Eve: ONLY FOR MIKU TO SHIFT THE MOMENTUM BY ROLLING THROUGH TO HER FEET, AND ESCAPING WITH AN ARM DRAG! ARM DRAG BY MIKU, AND SORN SCRAMBLES TO A KNEE IN THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku is beautiful and dangerous, which Sorn needs to watch out for.
Deadprez: Sorn stands himself up, and circles around Miku for a second time in the ring. Miku blasts Sorn with a KICK TO THE GUT AS HE WENT FOR ANOTHER COLLAR AND ELBOW TIE-UP! FAKING HIM OUT, AND SORN DOUBLES OVER AS A RESULT! MIKU GRABS HIM IN A STANDING SIDE HEADLOCK!
Eve: BUT SORN BACKS HER AGAINST THE ROPES, AND REBOUNDS HER OFF TO ESCAPE! BUT MIKU SLIDES THROUGH THE LEGS OF SORN, AVOIDING WHATEVER HE HAD PLANNED AS SHE CAME BOUNCING BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU POPS TO HER FEET AS SORN SPINS AROUND, AND SWINGS WILDLY TO DELIVER A CLOTHESLINE! BUT MIKU DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN! SORN DUCKS DOWN, PERHAPS SIGNALING EARLY FOR A BACK BODY DROP!
Deadprez: BUT MIKU IS THERE TO COUNTER WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST! SORN SPINS AROUND FROM THE IMPACT, AND STAGGERS AWAY SLIGHTLY BEFORE DOUBLING OVER! MIKU CLOSES IN- BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH KNIFE EDGE CHOP!
Eve: KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST FLOORS MIKU! AND SAKAI CRAWLS AWAY FROM SORN, PULLING HERSELF UP IN THE CORNER! MIKU WANTED TO CREATE SEPERATION, BUT SORN WONT GIVE HER THAT PRIVILEGE!
Deadprez: AND CLOSES IN WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP! MIKU DROPS TO ALL FOURS, AND SORN STANDS HER UP! DIRECTING SAKAI TO THE CENTER FOR A PENDULUM BACKBREAKER! MIKU FAVORS HER BACK IN CLEAR PAIN AS SORN DROPS INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU MANAGES TO KICKOUT! STAYING IN THIS THING!
Eve: AND SORN LIFTS MIKU BACK UP TO LAND A KNIFE EDGE CHOP THAT ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA, AND QUICKLY FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A FOREARM! KNOCKING HER BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Deadprez: MIKU CAME INTO THIS MATCH WITH A BAD ATTITUDE, BUT SORN MIGHT BE EXPELLING IT WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST IN THE CORNER!
Eve: MIKU FAVORS HER CHEST BRIEFLY, WHICH NO DOUBTS STINGS IN PAIN! BUT MIKU GRABS HOLD OF SORN, AND SENDS HIM INTO THE CORNER! KICK TO THE GUT BY MIKU, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A OPEN-HAND CHOP TO THE CHEST FOLLOWING IT!
Deadprez: MIKU UPS THE AGGRESSION ON SORN, BEGINNING TO BITE HIS FOREHEAD IN THE CORNER! CAUSING THE REFEREE TO GET INVOLVED WITH A FIVE COUNT!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU FINALLY RELENTS! BUT IF I HAD HER BITING ME, I WOULDNT WANT HER TO STOP!
Eve: :comeagain:
Deadprez: I’ll act like I ain’t hear that.
Eve: Good call.
Deadprez: Miku stops biting Sorn, and puts her hands up, showing the referee there is no contact between the two. BUT LIVES TO REGRET HER GUARD BEING DOWN AS SORN THROWS HER BACK INTO THE CORNER, SIMILAR TO HOW SHE DID HIM, AND SMACKS MIKU ACROSS THE CHEST WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP!
Eve: MIKU’S LEGS FLEW UP IN THAT CORNER FROM THE IMPACT, AND SHE FALLS DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS BEFORE ROLLING OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! CREATING SPACE AND SEPARATION BETWEEN HERSELF AND SORN!
Deadprez: BUT SORN IS IN HOT PURSUIT, SLIDING OUT OF THE RING! MIKU STAGGERS TOWARD THE BARRICADE, UNBEKNOWNST THAT SORN IS TRAILING HER, AND LEANS UP AGAINST SAID BARRICADE TO CATCH HER BREATH!
Eve: SORN MARCHES TOWARD HER, AND SWINGS FOR A KNIFE EDGE CHOP- BUT MIKU DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! MIKU DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE CHOP ATTEMPT, AND SORN SPINS AROUND- BUT GETS DRIVEN BACK FIRST BY MIKU INTO THE BARRICADE!
Gavin Kirkland: SORN DROPS TO A KNEE, AND MIKU BEGINS UNDOING A PATCH OF THE PADDING RINGSIDE! EXPOSING THE CONCRETE FLOOR! MIKU HAS CRUEL INTENTIONS IN MIND! NOT SURE WHETHER I LIKE THAT LOOK IN HER EYES OR NOT!
Deadprez: MIKU HAS PEELED BACK SOME OF THAT RINGSIDE MATTING, AND WITH THE CONCRETE FLOOR EXPOSED, DRAGS SORN OVER! WE MENTIONED THAT MIKU WAS COMING INTO THIS MATCH PISSED OFF, BUT WE DIDNT KNOW THE EXTENT! AT LEAST NOT TO THIS LEVEL!
Eve: MIKU ATTEMPTS A SUPLEX ON THAT EXPOSED CONCRETE- BUT SORN BLOCKS THE ATTEMPT! HOLDING HIS WEIGHT DOWN, AND SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM ON MIKU! HOISTING HER UP, AND LAUNCHING HER WITH A RELEASE GOURDBUSTER ONTO THE PADDING!
Deadprez: MIKU RETURNS TO HER FEET, RUNNING OFF PURE INSTINCT! AND SHE STAGGERS AWAY FROM SORN! SORN ROLLS BACK INSIDE MOMENTARILY, RESTARTING THE REFEREES COUNT, AND ROLLS BACK OUT!
Eve: MIKU HAS LEANED HERSELF UP AGAINST THE CORNER OF A BARRICADE, AND SORN RUSHES IN WITH A BICYCLE KICK! MIKU ALMOST SPILLED OVER INTO THE CROWD AREA, BUT REMAINS HUNG UP GUT FIRST ON THE BARRICADE!
Deadprez: SORN PULLS HER OFF, AND SCOOPS MIKU ONTO HIS SHOULDERS IN A FIREMANS CARRY- HOWEVER, MIKU GOUGES HIS EYES MOMENTARILY BEFORE SLITHERING OUT BEHIND SORN! THEN SHOVES HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
Gavin Kirkland: SORN IS UNDERSTANDABLY ON WOBBLY LEGS AFTER THAT ONE, AND MIKU ROLLS HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING! SLIDING IN, AND CRAWLING OVER TO HOOK HIS LEG FOR A COVER! NO WASTED MOVEMENT FROM MIKU, WHO IS MAYBE GETTING A BIGGER FIGHT THAN SHE EXPECTED FROM SORN!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO-
Eve: SORN POPS THE SHOULDER UP! AND PIGGYBACKING OFF WHAT GAVIN SAID, SORN HAS CERTAINLY BROUGHT THE FIGHT TONIGHT AGAINST MIKU SAKAI! SHE’LL DEFINITELY BE LEAVING THIS MATCH WITH A FEW SOUVENIRS!
Deadprez: MIKU SITS SORN UP, AND CONNECTS WITH A VICIOUS PENALTY KICK TO THE SPINE! LAYING HIM FLAT FOR A COVER AFTERWARDS!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: STILL, A KICK OUT BY SORN!
Gavin Kirkland: Sorn kicks out, and crawls away from Miku, finding himself on the defensive. Sorn hangs himself up on the middle rope, and Miku approaches… USING HER KNEE TO CHOKE SORN ACROSS SAID MIDDLE ROPE! REFEREE INTERVENES WITH A FIVE COUNT!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Deadprez: Miku lets up before the referee hits three, which would effectively disqualify her from this match, giving Sorn the win. Something I’m sure would piss Miku off even further.
Eve: Sorn remains hung over that middle rope, coughing and gasping for air after being choked by Sakai. Miku tells the referee off, and grabs hold of Sorn, directing him to the center for a DEATH NOTE! MIKU WENT FOR THE ASAI DDT!
Deadprez: BUT SORN SHOVED HER OFF! MIKU TURNS AROUND, AND GETS CAUGHT WITH A RUNNING BACK ELBOW FROM SORN! MIKU RUSHES BACK TO HER FEET, BUT IMMEDIATELY GETS PUT RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!
Gavin Kirkland: ITS NOT LOOKING GOOD AS SORN QUICKLY RUSHES HER BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE, AND IRISH WHIPS MIKU OVER TO THE CORNER!
Eve: RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT IN THE CORNER BY SORN! NO DOUBT JACKING MIKU’S JAW! AND SORN RUNS OFF THE ROPES AS MIKU COMES STAGGERING OUT FROM THE CORNER, AND FLOORS HER WITH A DROPKICK!
Deadprez: IMPRESSIVE COMBO BY SORN, WHO HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: SHOULDER UP! MIKU GETS THE SHOULDER UP, BUT SORN DOESNT WASTE TIME AFTER THE PINFALL! MAINTAINING HIS FOCUS AS MIKU STARTS STIRRING TO A KNEE! SORN URGES HER TO STAND UP AS HE CHARGES TOWARD THE ROPES, SPRINGBOARDING OFF FOR HIS PATENTED CUTTER!
Deadprez: OH! MIKU LEAPS UP ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH HIM, AND SENDS SORN BACK DOWN TO REALITY WITH A RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP FROM OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! SORN LANDED HIGH ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS, AND MIKU SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Eve: ALMOST! MIKU ALMOST GOT THE VICTORY THERE, AND PART OF IT HAS TO BE THE SURPRISE FACTOR FROM MIKU! SORN THOUGHT HE WAS FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM VICTORY THERE, BUT SAKAI QUICKLY FLIPPED THE SCRIPT!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku checks with the referee to verify that was three, and is very upset to find out it wasn’t. If I was referee, it would be with Miku bossing me around like that.
Eve: Well, that doesn’t surprise me.
Gavin Kirkland: What? She’s scary… and hot at the same time. :mjlit:
Eve: And there it is.
Deadprez: Miku lifts Sorn up to his feet, and backs him into the corner for an irish whip to the opposite! SORN HITS HARD IN THAT CORNER, AND COMES STAGGERING OUT OF IT AS MIKU RUNS OFF THE ROPES TO DELIVER A BULLDOG! BULLDOG BY MIKU, WHO GOES FOR THE COVER ON SORN!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Eve: KICKOUT! MIKU POUNDS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION, WANTING TO BE DONE WITH SORN ALREADY! BUT HE ISNT MAKING IT EASY, FIGHTING WITH EVERYTHING HE HAS! SOMETHING THE FANS HAVE COME TO RESPECT SORN OVER!
Deadprez: BUT NOT MIKU! MIKU FINDS SORN MORE ANNOYING IN THIS MOMENT IF ANYTHING!
Eve: MIKU STANDS HIM, AND BLASTS HIM WITH A FOREARM! KNOCKING SORN BACK INTO THE CORNER! SORN IS REELING, AND MIKU BOUNCES OFF THE OPPOSITE CORNER! BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A- NO! SORN GETS THE BOOT UP ON MIKU!
Deadprez: MIKU STAGGERS AWAY FROM SORN, BUT HE QUICKLY CATCHES UP TO SPIN HER AROUND! HOISTING MIKU IN A FIREMANS CARRY! BUT MIKU IS BEGINNING TO THRASH AROUND ON HIS SHOULDERS, AND DELIVERING SHARP ELBOWS TO SORN’S JAW!
Eve: SORN STAGGERS BACK AS A RESULT, AND MIKU SLIPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS! CATCHING HERSELF ON THE APRON, AND SENDS SORN DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A MAT SLAM! USING HIS HAIR FOR LEVERAGE!
Deadprez: MAT SLAM BY MIKU, WHO SLINGSHOTS OVER THE TOP ROPE FOR A SOMERSAULT SENTON! BUT SORN ROLLS OUT THE WAY!
Gavin Kirkland: OH NO! THIS IS BAD FOR MIKU AS SORN ROLLED OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND TO THE APRON!
Eve: MIKU RETURNS TO HER FEET, FAVORING HER BACK! AND SORN SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE TO DELIVER A FOREARM, AND KIPS UP TO HIS FEET! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!
Deadprez: SORN IS FEELING IT AGAINST MIKU, AND YELLS FOR HER TO GET UP! …SORN BACKS MIKU AGAINST THE ROPES WITH MULTIPLE KNIFE EDGE CHOPS, AND GOES FOR AN IRISH WHIP! BUT MIKU TWISTS HIS AROUND, AND DELIVERS A KICK TO THE GUT!
Eve: SORN DOUBLES OVER AS MIKU RUNS OFF THE ROPES, AND- WHOA! SORN CAUGHT MIKU WITH A STUN GUN! DROPPING HER THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE ROPES, AND MIKU TURNS AROUND AS SORN RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A HIGH KNEE! SIGNATURE HIGH KNEE ON MIKU!
Deadprez: SORN HOPS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE AS MIKU IS STRUGGLING BACK TO HER FEET-
Eve: BUT MIKU!
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU SHOVES THE REF TOWARD SORN, AND SORN LEAPS OVER THE REF- BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE GROIN OUT OF MID AIR!
Deadprez: SORN DOUBLES OVER, AND MIKU TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH THE ASAI DDT! PLANTING HIM! ITS OVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERES YOUR WINNER… MIKU SAKAI!
(“Lowlife Princess” by BIBI plays to a negative reaction from fans as Miku unhooks the leg, and rises to get her hand raised briefly before snatching it away from the referee, wanting to celebrate the moment on her own.)
Eve: Well, Miku won against Sorn… but you can’t deny the tactics she used were quite dirty.
Gavin Kirkland: You call it dirty; I call it crafty! Using the referee to her advantage? Brilliant!
Deadprez: Mhm… :mjpls: regardless, Miku is victorious, and picks up momentum heading into Grand Rampage.
Eve: Better luck next time for Sorn, who had quite the performance here against Miku.
(Miku rolls out the ring, and heads to the back as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Backstage….
Alana Starr is in the gorilla position talking to some of the production people, when suddenly she is confronted by Silas Mason. He has a smile on his face, but the beautiful green eyed scarlet haired Assistant General Manager is not amused.)
Alana Starr: Can I help you?
Silas Mason: I think you know why I am here Alana. I gave you one week to come and talk to me, I have not heard anything and well, I need to speak to you in private so that we can discuss your answer.
(Alana knows what Silas is talking about, that is when she was confronted by him and Silas World last week as she addressed Showdown after Kennedy Street went down to a concussion and still is not cleared to come back. Alana understands fully well that Silas is looking for that answer he seeks to see if she will indeed work with him and join Silas World as she was once a part of it.)
Alana Starr: I have a Shwodown to run, Silas, you know this. I do not have time to talk to you right now.
Silas Mason: Well… isn’t that a shame. Here I thought that you were going to be so kind and grace me with your presence and we could actually do some business. We both know that none of this violence is necessary, right? Look at earlier tonight?
Alana Starr: Oh, you mean that stunt with mocking a funeral for Milli Banks where we both know she is not dead and is just hurt. But instead, you want to make a spectacle out of a brutal match with one of my top stars that just lost her World Championship and then threaten other Elitists from other brands?
(Silas looked shocked and surprised.)
Silas Mason: Me? Threaten anyone from another brand?
Alana Starr: Do not play stupid with me, Silas. You threatened Pandora, who not only is one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, but is Jon Kelton’s girlfriend. Oh, and very close to Kennedy Street.
Silas Mason: Yeah, I regret not getting to her and Halsey Neel sooner because they would have fit well in Silas World going Worldwide. Anyway, enough of that, So what is it going to be Alana, I am not going to waste anymore of your time or mine. So let’s have that answer, shall we?
Alana Starr: Silas, I am working out the Grand Rampage right now and trying to give a bunch of people the chance to enter it and do something extraordinary. Nikki Kimura, a former client of yours, Jadeite, and this gentleman here that I was talking to who happens to be the newest member of my roster, Shio Corin.
(Silas turns and sees him come out from where Alana was standing by the desk with a contract in hand.)
Shio Coin: How ya doin’?
Silas Mason: Who is this man?
Alana Starr: Actually, he is from right here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
(You can hear the crowd cheer as Shio winks and smirks.)
Alana Starr: See, Silas, I have been doing what Kennie asked you to do, scout and look for new talent to bring in the EAW, and here is one of those, I actually did what she asked of us, while you went off and created your brand yet again here this time on Showdown.
(Silas Mason chuckles a little.)
Silas Mason: Right.. okay first off, welcome Shio Corin, I look forward to see what you do in the ring, and secondly I need an answer. While I appreciate you giving Nikki Kimura, that ungrateful bitch a shot at the Grand Rampage, I am sure that you will be putting in some of mine.
Alana Starr: Actually…. No I am not.
Silas Mason: Excuse me?
Alana Starr: No, Silas. Instead, Brianna will be defending the Specialist Championship, Donovan will be defending the Answers World Championship and your last two? Harper Lee and Ronan Malosi? They will have a tag team match against Veena Adams and a partner of her choice.
(Now Silas looks annoyed.)
Silas Mason: This is NOT what I had in mind, Alana. But, if that is what you want, then fine, we will oblige. That still doesn’t answer my question, is it yes or no?
(Alana pauses for a second and then she sighs before looking back at Silas.)
Alana Starr: I will tell you what, work with me and I will work with you Silas. You know that I am a woman of my word.
Silas Mason: I’m listening.
Alana Starr: You were my manager in the best years of my career and for that I have always respected what you mean to this business. How about you give me one more week, and to close Showdown next week, I will be out there in the ring, and I will make it all worthwhile for you.
(Silas Mason smiles and nods.)
Silas Mason: You have always been my GOOD Girl, Alana. I know you will do the right thing. Fine, I will see you next week to close out Showdown.
(Silas walks off as Alana takes a deep breath, she then looks over at Shio and hands him the contract.)
Alana Starr: Sorry about that, anyway, you can sign right here.
Shio Corin: You got it.
(As Shio signs his EAW contract, the camera fades to ringside and Gina Romano.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef hits, and SOSA Henderson walking out coldly to the stage. Henderson smirks back a little before that grin twists into a sinister face as he confidently makes his way toward the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT!… FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA!… WEIGHING IN AT 191 POUNDS!… BULLETPROOF!… SOSAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!… HENDERSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(“PUT EM IN THE FRIDGE” by Peso Pluma and Cardi B plays on the speakers, the crowd booing in response as Roberto de la Rosa comes out with actual confidence to himself, nodding along and mocking the crowd, acting very non-chalant as he walks down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM HIDALGO MEXICO, WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS, HE IS “EL PADRINO” ROBERTOOOO DE LA ROSAAAAA!!
DING! DING! DING!
Deadprez: Here we go! SOSA Henderson and Roberto De La Rosa, two men with something to prove, lock eyes as they start circling each other.
Eve: SOSA is looking calm and collected, throwing a few feigned kicks just to test Roberto’s reaction. But Roberto isn’t buying into the mind games— A stiff back elbow right to SOSA’s jaw!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s how you set the tone early! Roberto isn’t letting up he immediately goes for a Double Leg Takedown and now he’s unloading with Mounted Punches!
Silas Mason: That’s what I like to see! Roberto knows SOSA’s quick, so what’s he to do? Takes him straight to the mat and starts throwing’ those big elbows! That’s a man fightin’ like his career depends on it! Type of grit I like to see, that’s a future World Champion.
Deadprez: SOSA’s covering up, trying to block those shots, Roberto is just relentless! SOSA finally manages to shift his hips, pushing Roberto off long enough to slip free. He’s back to his feet— Roberto charges with a Gamengiri Kick from SOSA!
Eve: That rocked Roberto! Here comes SOSA off the ropes, Slingshot Flatliner! He plants Roberto face-first into the mat!
Gavin Kirkland: That was smooth! Look at this— SOSA pops back up and immediately heads to the corner. He’s got something big in mind: Springboard Moonsault! Right into the cover!
ONE!
…
TWO—
…
Deadprez: Roberto kicks out!
Silas Mason: Great kick out by Roberto.
Eve: SOSA isn’t wasting any time. He pulls Roberto up and whips him into the ropes— SOSA jumps outside of the ring, onto the apron! He goes for a Dropkick BUT ROBERTO DUCKS!
Deadprez: SOSA rolls onto his feet, turns around— BIG BOOT! ROBERTO JUST NEARLY TOOK HIS HEAD OFF!
Gavin Kirkland: Good lord, SOSA just got hit hard across the face!
Silas Mason: That’s power, boy! That’s a man with bad intentions right there!
Eve: Roberto’s got SOSA, now he’s lifting him up— THE ISLAND DRIVER DRILLS SOSA INTO THE MAT!
Deadprez: He’s got the leg hooked! This could be it!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THR—
Silas Mason: Just can’t put him away, shocker.
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto’s face says it all, he’s frustrated! He thought he had SOSA put away!
Eve: He can’t let that frustration get the best of him! He’s gotta stay on SOSA! And that’s exactly what he’s doing, Roberto pulls him back up, going for a German Suplex!
Deadprez: SOSA FLIPS OUT! HE LANDS ON HIS FEET! ROBERTO TURNS AROUND— BICYCLE KNEE! KNOCKING HIM OUT OF THE RING!
Silas Mason: That’s what I was talking about! You give SOSA an inch, and he’ll take a mile!
Eve: Roberto’s staggering back into the ropes! SOSA sees an opening— HERE HE GOES! OVER THE TOP ROPE MOONSAULT PLANCHA!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA JUST TOOK ROBERTO OUT ON THE OUTSIDE!
Deadprez: What an unbelievable display of athleticism from SOSA!
Silas Mason: He’s flashy, I’ll give him that. If he’s not careful, he’s gonna give Roberto one last shot to turn this around.
Eve: SOSA is slow to his feet, catching his breath. He knows he has the advantage. He grabs Roberto, rolls him back into the ring AND HE’S HEADING UP TOP!
Deadprez: SOSA PERCHED ON THE TOP ROPE! He’s looking to put Roberto away once and for all!
Eve: He’s measuring his target for the 450 SPLASH! He’s looking to put Roberto away once and for all!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! ROBERTO GETS THE KNEES UP! SOSA CRASHES AND BURNS!
Silas Mason: There we go, SOSA is too brash and arrogant he can’t telegraph anything.
Deadprez: SOSA is rolling around, clutching his ribs in pain! Roberto, still hurting, pulls himself up using the ropes. You can see the determination in his eyes, he knows this is his chance!
Eve: Roberto staggers over to SOSA and drags him up. He hooks the head— DDT!
Gavin Kirkland: HE JUST DRILLED SOSA FACE-FIRST INTO THE MAT!
Silas Mason: That should be it right there.

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto is moving too, but barely! He just took a nasty DDT, and he might not even know where he is right now!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA ROLLS THROUGH LANDS ON HIS FEET!
Eve: ROBERTO EXPLODES UP! SIDE SUPLEX! HE DUMPS SOSA ON HIS NECK!
Deadprez: Roberto doesn’t have the strength to capitalize! He’s on his hands and knees, trying to shake the cobwebs!
Deadprez: Roberto is pushing himself up first, using the ropes for support! SOSA is on all fours, shaking his head, trying to get his bearings— BUT ROBERTO WASTES NO TIME! HE CHARGES!

Eve: HE’S GOING TO THE APRON FOR A SPRINGBOARD—
Gavin Kirkland: NO! ROBERTO POPS UP!
Deadprez: DROPKICK! HE JUST TURNED SOSA INSIDE OUT IN MID-AIR!
Eve: Roberto collapses after hitting that vicious Lariat! Both men are down! The ref is checking them both.
Gavin Kirkland: This is an all-out war! Both men are completely spent, but neither one is willing to give in!
Deadprez: SOSA is stirring first, using the ropes to drag himself up, while Roberto is trying to push himself up from his knees!
Gavin Kirkland: I gotta say, this is one of the best matches I’ve seen in a long time! These two are giving everything they’ve got!
Eve: SOSA and Roberto finally make it to their feet, but they’re barely standing! Their bodies are battered, but their eyes are locked onto each other—neither man is backing down!

Eve: SOSA can’t believe it! He thought that it was the knockout blow, Roberto refused to stay down!
Deadprez: SOSA, still catching his breath, forces himself up. He stares down at Roberto, shaking his head—he knows he has to dig deeper!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s looking at the top rope again! He’s going for another high-risk maneuver!
Eve: SOSA climbs the ropes, perching himself at the top! He’s looking to put Roberto away for good HE LEAPS— SOSA BOMB!!!
Deadprez: NOOOO!!! ROBERTO ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! SOSA CRASHES HARD ON THE MAT!
Silas Mason: There we go, Roberto got it.

Deadprez: He shakes his head, gritting his teeth—he’s done playing! Roberto slowly stands, dragging SOSA up by his wrist. He pulls him in—he’s setting up for El Pegue De Mezcal!!!

THREEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… SOSA HENDERSON!!!
(SOSA gets his hand raised as his theme plays, as he begins to celebrate. SOSA looks to the apron to see Silas Mason, standing with a smirk on his face.)
SOSA Henderson: (off mic) You saw that? That’s what I’m going to do to Donovan Duke. I’m coming for your client!
(Silas steps down from the apron and claps his hands, almost taunting Henderson before walking away. SOSA was confused and a bit angry, watching Silas walk up the ramp.)
(The camera cuts backstage where TLA is shown in his locker room smoking a joint. Suddenly Ryan Wilson enters.)
TLA: Ayo y’all gotta keep the smoke in. You lettin’ it all out. Ain’t gonna expose a vato. Y’all gonna get me fired again gotta keep this on the low ese.
Ryan Wilson: My bad homie.
(Ryan Wilson closes the door behind him.)
TLA: Yoyoyo it’s mah dawg Ryan Wilson you know that he a hustler for real. We all hustlers out here we gonna dropp every opp.
(TLA is shown picking up a bat covered in nails nearby.)
Ryan Wilson: TLA I thought we talked about this last week. This is Showdown where WE WRESTLE. We will deal with Silas World and everyone else the right way by not stooping down to their level.
TLA: Nah we huntin’ down the whole Silas World! They fixin’ to get this beatdown! AYOOO AYOOO WHERE THEY AT!
(TLA puts the bat into a wall and tears a chunk out aggressively.)
Ryan Wilson: We showed last week that they can only beat us when they interfere. But even then after the match we showed them that they aren’t powerful enough to actually take over Showdown. When The Hustler’s Alliance, Elysium, Cody Maverick, and Veena Adams are all united… Silas World doesn’t stand a chance! And I am sure they are not the only ones who have issues with what is going on around here lately.
TLA: Urite. We gotta round up the whole posse. Get the squad together and find they hide out. We finna raid these pendejos…
Ryan Wilson: Nah that’s not why I am here I have something important to talk about with you.
TLA: What could be more important than fuckin’ up some hatin’ ass gringos?
Ryan Wilson: I am sure there will be time for that later. Yes there will be time for that later. But you know what is more important. Last week you came out here and you declared for the Grand Rampage.
TLA: Orale! Imma fuck up the whole Grand Rampage. Drop anyone who enters. Don’t matter if it is Dynasty. Don’t matter if it’s Voltage. I ain’t even know what brand I’m on at this point. This mota too good and I be transcending brands. They are all gonna get this beatdown! TLA gonna snatch that World Championship get numero cuatro in with the quickness if ya feel me.
Ryan Wilson: Well, that’s what I wanted to talk about. I gotta know if we are still a thing. Is the Hustler’s Alliance still a thing?
TLA: Si claro holmes. We gonna get them Unified Tag Titles too! We gettin’ all that oro! The British Invasion a fine ass team. You know them British mamis done brought that heat at Reasonable Doubt. Pero we got no doubt that next time we gonna catch em lackin’.
Ryan Wilson: Well, that is what I am confused about. Because we were gunning for the Unified Tag Team Championships. We took one loss to them but now all I hear about from you is how you are going to main event Pain for Pride and how you are going after the Answers World Championship again. Which is fine. I did promise I would help you with that. But where does that leave the Hustler’s Alliance?
(TLA sets the bat with nails down with sadness realizing that he’s probably not going to get to use it tonight and gets up to confront Ryan.)
TLA: Oh, nah you ain’t doubtin’ me ese? You know I got yo back homie! The Hustler’s Alliance is 4 life! Once you start hustlin’ you know you just can’t stop hustlin’…
Ryan Wilson: No. But since you have been coming out here lately talking about going after the Answers World Championship I wanted to confirm what’s going on. Like I said I did promise I would help you if you went for it which leads me to Grand Rampage…
TLA: This gonna be the Grandest Rampage yet cuz La Pantera Sexual gonna eliminate errybody in that ring and win it all! Ain’t no doubt. Ain’t no doubt.
Ryan Wilson: Oh really? You think you can eliminate everyone? Even if I am in it?
TLA: Oh, shit y’all gonna be there holmes? For real for real?
Ryan Wilson: Yes. I am officially in the Grand Rampage. But don’t worry I got your back homie. At least until the Hustler’s Alliance eliminates everyone else.
TLA: You know that I wouldn’t have that shit any other way dawg. I got yo back too. The hustlers gonna toss 28 other hombres y mujeres over that top rope. And then when it comes time it gonna be…
Ryan Wilson: Every hombre for themselves.
(Ryan Wilson reaches his hand out as TLA shakes it.)
( https://c.tenor.com/Nj02YVyFAUsAAAAd/tenor.gif )
Ryan Wilson: And who knows maybe it won’t be you after all getting that Pain for Pride main event. Maybe you won’t be the one challenging for the Answers World Championship when the dust settles. You know I’ve never main evented Pain for Pride before but after I win the Grand Rampage? There will be no doubt!
TLA: Oh, you talkin’ shit now? Nah I see how it is. We gonna be beefin’. Gonna fuck all yo shit up. Got no choice. We fuck errybody’s else’s shit up. Toss all the mierda out the ring. Then we still be hustlin’ tho. Gotta find other shit to fuck up. Can’t fuck ourselves up gotta fuck each other up. But imma win that Grand Rampage ain’t no question compa.
Ryan Wilson: But what if we both fall out at the same time and we both win?!?!
TLA: Oye now you talkin’ some diabolical shit homie. You know that is the best case scenario. Cuz then we both get the title shot. Put the whole Hustler’s Alliance up against Donovan Duke we gonna share the title. Fuck him up like he never been fucked up before. 2 on 1 type shit!
Ryan Wilson: I’m not sure that’s how that works…
(The scene fades out as TLA and Ryan Wilson continue to discuss potential scenarios for the Grand Rampage.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial announcing that EAW Elitists can now pay for backstage catering in planned payment installments.)
(The camera now cuts to Interim General Manager Alana Starr. Alana is currently looking at paperwork on her desk as she starts to talk to herself.)
Alana Starr: Hmmm. Interesting. I think that Hurricane Hawk was right. I am strong. I am confident and I am running Showdown very well. Especially as we are having another great addition of the Blue Brand. I need to remind myself that I need to meet up with Hurricane Hawk and thank him for his strong words and his assur–
(Alana has a smile on her face as she is lost in her thoughts, but she is snapped back into reality when she hears somebody at her door.)
(KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!)
Alana Starr: Come in!
(The office door opens, and we watch Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton, Elysium, have entered Alana’s office. The appearance of Elysium gets the crowd going crazy with very loud cheers as they really love the very popular team. Alana smiles and stands from her desk as she shakes both Kelton and Bronson’s hands.)
Alana Starr: Bronson. Kelton. It’s a pleasure to see you two. What is it that I can help you with?
Bronson Daniels: You probably already know exactly what we are here to ask about.
Alana Starr: I might have a good suspicion as to what you want, but go ahead and tell me about what you need.
Jon Kelton: Well, Alana. As you can obviously see we are still in the middle of a horrible war against those losers and nutcases in Silas World. It’s disgusting to watch them going around Showdown as if they are running the show. Especially after what they did a few weeks ago to Kennedy Street.
(Alana does slowly nod in response to Kelton’s comment. It sucks that Kennedy was an unfortunate victim in all of this.)
Bronson Daniels: Don’t get us wrong, Alana. We appreciate the hard work you have been doing in Kennedy’s place and we wanted to tell you that you have been doing an amazing job as working General Manager.
Alana Starr: Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Jon Kelton: Of course. But with that being said, this is what we would like….
Bronson Daniels: …we would like another shot at Silas World.
Jon Kelton: Exactly. You saw how they took yet another shortcut at Reasonable Doubt and of course they were able to leave with the Answers World Championship.
Bronson Daniels: Yeah, if Ronan didn’t stick his nose in our business yet again, Jon would have been able to escape the ring and he would be the Answers World Champion right now as opposed to that deranged egotistical lunatic Donovan Duke.
Jon Kelton: We are sick of it and fed up with it. Shit, we’ve had it. So, please, Alana. All we are asking for is one more chance against Silas World… hopefully with the Answers World Championship on the line.
(Both Kelton and Bronson nod as Alana looks at both of Elysium as she really thinks about their request. She takes a few moments to think about her decision before she speaks up again.)
Alana Starr: Bronson. Kelton. Let me start off by saying that myself and Kennedy Street are beyond grateful and appreciative of all the hard work you two, Milli, and now Veena have been doing to defend us against Silas World.
Alana Starr: I also know how much you two would love another shot at Silas World in the hopes of taking them down and hopefully taking the Answers World Championship off of Donovan Duke. But….
Bronson Daniels: But?
Jon Kelton: But what, Alana?
Alana Starr: But as much as I would love to give you two another chance at Silas World… I’m sorry, but I am going to formally deny that request.
(Bronson and Kelton’s jaws drop as we can hear a very loud gasp from the crowd in attendance. Alana feels so horrible about making that decision, but Kelton and Bronson can’t believe that Alana is actually saying no to their request.)
Bronson Daniels: No?
Jon Kelton: No?
(Alana looks down and shakes her head before looking back at a still stunned Bronson and Kelton.)
Alana Starr: No. I am sorry, guys. I would love to give you two another opportunity to fight against Silas World, and you two will get another shot, but it is just not gonna happen at Grand Rampage.
(Elysium can’t believe what they are hearing as they both thought that another match against Silas World was a sure thing, but Alana has just told them no. Bronson and Kelton look at each other as they start to get mad at Alana.)
Bronson Daniels: Alana, try to help us understand what you are doing because Silas World needs to be taken down. We have been at war with them for so long already so it should only be fitting that we get another chance to try and knock them off their pedestals. This wasn’t exactly what we wanted to hear.
Jon Kelton: So, you can understand how we are just a little bit frustrated with this little change of plans. Look, Alana. We were one second away from taking the Answers World Championship away from Donovan and those other nutcases. They robbed me of the Answers World Championship and I wanna get some more payback on them.
Bronson Daniels: Especially after making our lives a living hell for the last three names. This needs to end. Come on, Alana. You have to understand that they are completely out of control, and we are perhaps the team that can eliminate the evil that is Silas World out of Showdown.
Jon Kelton: I can’t tell you how unhappy we are right now to hear all of that.
Bronson Daniels: Very unhappy
Alana Starr: I had a feeling that you two weren’t going to like that decision as soon as it came out of my mouth. Believe me when I say that you will definitely get another chance to fight Silas World… but it just won’t be right now. But!
Bronson Daniels: But?
Jon Kelton: What exactly are you trying to say, Alana?
Alana Starr: I will explain everything to you right now. Look, I completely understand that you both are not happy that you aren’t getting another shot at Silas World, but I have a solution.
Bronson Daniels: A solution?
Jon Kelton: What kind of solution do you have in mind?
Alana Starr: This is my solution. I know you two wanted an opportunity, so this is what I have to give and one of you may not like it. So, this is my solution….
(Bronson and Kelton look at each other in confusion. They are both wondering what in the world she means by that. Either way, they stop looking at each other and look back at Alana to finally hear her solution.)
Alana Starr: Bronson. Kelton. My solution is that you two, Elysium, will be receiving a shot… AT THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!
Jon Kelton: Wait a second. That means….
Alana Starr: That’s right! Elysium will be challenging The British Invasion for the Unified Tag Team Titles! What do you guys think of that?
(Both Bronson and Kelton have different types of looks on their faces. Bronson has a look of major surprise while Kelton’s jaw has dropped, and he is completely speechless as he looks at Alana with great shock clear on his face and in his eyes.)
Alana Starr: Well… what do you two think?
(Kelton is trying to form words to answer Alana’s questions, but the words aren’t coming to him at all. Bronson, on the other hand, looks much more pleased at the announcement and gives Alana a nod and a smile.)
Bronson Daniels: I think it’s a wonderful opportunity. It’s been a good few months since we challenged for the Tag Titles, so I am more than excited to get another chance at the titles, and I strongly believe that we can win the title this time around. Isn’t that right, Jon?
(Bronson turns to look back at Kelton, who has finally managed to close his jaw after the initial shock, but he is still speechless as Bronson repeats himself.)
Bronson Daniels: Isn’t that right, Jon?
Jon Kelton: But… but….
(Bronson shakes his head and leans into whisper something to his tag team partner.)
Bronson Daniels: We can talk about this later, Jon.
(Bronson pats Kelton on the back and turns back to Alana and nods again.)
Bronson Daniels: We’re both excited.
(Alana shakes her head and stifles a laugh before responding to Bronson.)
Alana Starr: Well, I am glad to hear it. Thank you for your time, gentlemen.
Bronson Daniels: Thank you, Alana. Come on, Jon. Let’s go. Veena’s match is in a few moments. We need to head over to the ring.
(The final shot shows Kelton looking at Bronson and nodding as they both leave the room. Alana looks towards the door for a few moments before getting back to work and the camera cuts to commercial.)
(Saturday Night Showdown returns from its final commercial break with the crowd on their feet, eagerly anticipating the main event they’ve been waiting for all night. Gina Romano is spotted standing in the ring as she’s ready to announce the next match.)
Gina Romano: YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING IS SCHDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL
(‘7 Rings’ by by Ariana Grande plays as Veena Adams dressed in her in ring gear walks to the ring with a determined expression, meaning business tonight and behind her, Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton follow closely watching her intently as Veena steps into the ring, heading straight to the corner where she prepares herself for the match.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… ACCOMPANIED BY ELYSIUM!… FROM GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT!!!!.. WEIGHING IN AT 137 POUNDS!… THE GOLDEN STAR!!!!!!… VEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Veena stands in the ring, waiting for the match to begin. Then, “Enemy” by From Ashes to New plays as all members of Silas World, Harper Lee, Brianna Hill, Ronan Malosi, and Silas World himself, arrive in unison, walking with confidence and standing together as if rolling out the red carpet. Donovan Duke follows, the New World Championship gold wrapped around his waist. Before stepping into the ring, he unstraps the title and raises it high, proudly displaying it to the crowd. Duke then looks at Veena with a smug, shit-eating grin before stepping into the ring, followed closely by the rest of Silas World.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT!… ACCOMPANIED BY SILAS WORLD!… FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA!… WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS!… HE’S THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!… DEVIOUS & DEBONAIR!!!!!!… DONOVANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!… DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Donovan Duke steps into the ring while all members of Silas World position themselves on the apron, watching intently. His smug expression fades slightly as he hands the title to the referee, his eyes locking onto Veena Adams. The members of Silas World tap his shoulders before stepping off the apron, keeping a close watch from ringside while Elysium stands at ringside, nodding in approval as Veena Adams finishes preparing herself, ready for the match to begin.)
(DING DING DING)
Gavin Kirkland: And it’s officially underway! The main event of the evening! Veena Adams faces off against Donovan Duke in her first match back after being taken out by the masked attacker, later revealed to be Ronan Malosi! The Golden Star of the Adams Family explodes out of the corner, quickly closing the distance to square off with the Answers World Champion! She immediately goes for the legs, performing a double-leg takedown and transitioning into a headlock looking to establish control right from the start!
Eve: Duke sees it coming as he begins to send her over his head to break free from the headlock. Duke scrambles to his feet quickly and catches her in a guillotine position. He swiftly jumps, locking his legs around her head and fully applying the guillotine choke, just as he did at the very beginning of the match.
Deadprez: But Veena, being the one to catch his legs this time, reacts quickly and drives her right elbow into Donovan’s leg, the very one she just grabbed, putting him on one cramped leg! Veena keeps her eyes on him and charges straight toward her target, looking to annihilate him with a Jumping Knee Strike!
Gavin Kirkland: And just as we thought earlier, Donovan catches the leg and takes her down. Duke leaps over and quickly goes for the jackknife roll-up counter against the knee strike, looking to secure a quick win for the pride of his faction!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Annnnnnnnd TWO! Veena Adams kicks out! Veena and Duke roll back to their feet at the same time as Donovan charges toward her, but Veena moves out of the way, sending Donovan rebounding off the ropes… STRAIGHT INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX THAT PLANTS HIM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, QUICKLY GROUNDING THE WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!
Eve: Duke is seen stumbling to his feet after being slammed with the German Suplex at the center of the ring, and Veena meets him eye to eye. She pries her hands off and begins firing off hard palm strikes at him, leaving Duke defenseless and stumbling backward into the corner!
Deadprez: Veena now intensifies her offense, making it even more effective as she leans in with her elbow and knocks Donovan out cold with a brutal elbow strike while keeping him pressed against the corner!
Gavin Kirkland: Now that Duke has been worn down, Veena is one step ahead in this match as she seizes Duke by the wrist and tosses him into the opposite corner but Duke isn’t caught off guard entirely as he uses his strength to reverse it, sending Veena into the corner instead!
Eve: Duke looks up at his opponent and follows up, looking to connect with a running clothesline. But Veena counters with a boot straight to his jaw, knocking him back down toward the center of the ring!
Deadprez: And here comes the Golden Star, Veena quickly climbs up to the second rope, setting her sights on the stunned Donovan Duke, who just had his world rocked by her boot. She takes aim and leaps down toward him!.. DIVING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BY VEENA ADAMS TAKES DOWN THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!!!!! AND A COVER!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: And this time, Donovan is the one kicking out of there! Veena realizes that she still has a lot of work ahead of her in this match, but she’s not about to stop now. Veena now slowly rising to her knees as she reaches for one of Donovan’s legs and applies the Boston Crab, locking it in perfectly as she twists his limb, sending pain surging through his veins!
Gavin Kirkland: The Answers World Champion has not been looking good since the beginning of the match, as Veena is giving it her all, going blow for blow against him!
Eve: The Silas world watches in distress, and it seems like Ronan is trying to get up on the apron to interfere but Elysium quickly rushes in from the side, making sure he doesn’t get the chance to interfere too soon!
Bronson Daniels: (Off-Mic) HEY! Back the fuck up!
Deadprez: While the commotion is happening outside the ring, the referee remains focused on the match, closely monitoring the action as Donovan Duke is trapped in the Boston Crab. Veena Adams is putting her full strength on display, relentlessly applying pressure against Donovan Duke!
Gavin Kirkland: Adams is hyperextending Duke’s leg, increasing the force and worsening the pain, making it even more difficult for the Answers World Champion to endure! He needs to find a way out soon, or his leg could be severely damaged, making it much harder for him to fight back as the match progresses!
Eve: Seems like, as you said, Donovan is slowly figuring out a plan to counter the Boston Crab that is an escape that is inevitably difficult to pull off! He slowly begins turning, using his whole body to pivot over and come face-to-face with Veena Adams, who refuses to let go of his leg, still clinging to the same limb she has been targeting since earlier… WAIT A SECOND!!!! DONOVAN JUST PULLS HER IN FROM STANDING FEET AND TURNS IT INTO A SMALL PACKAGE ROLL-UP!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Eve: TWO!!!!! VEENA ADAMS KICKS OUT!!!! That was really close! But it seems like Duke has been taking shortcuts and the smarter route, outwrestling Veena Adams so far throughout this match.
Deadprez: Veena Adams is already rolling back to her feet, and she quickly bulldozes straight toward the champion, looking to take him down with a running attack BUT DONOVAN MAKES A SPLIT-SECOND DECISION AS HE LEAPS OFF THE GROUND AND, USING HIS FREE LEG, THE ONE THAT HASN’T BEEN INJURED, CATCHES VEENA WITH AN ENZUIGIRI KICK RIGHT AT THE CENTER OF THE RING!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: That was a nice counter by Donovan Duke, but will it be enough to take out Veena Adams that easily? Adams is down on one knee after the kick caught her square on the jaw, while Duke slowly recovers from the damage to his leg from the earlier Boston Crab.
Eve: Duke now regains control as he seizes the momentum back from Veena Adams byt throwing himself off the ropes AND QUICKLY KNOCKING HER DOWN WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT! VEENA ADAMS CRASHES TO THE MAT!!!!!
Deadprez: Impact of the Running Knee Lift is just enough to drop Veena, but Donovan doesn’t seem done yet! Duke stumbles back to the ropes, momentarily dropping to one knee, but quickly regains his awareness of his surroundings as his eyes shift toward the turnbuckles, and he makes a crucial decision!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke now climbing to the top rope after taking time to recover his leg from the dangerous Boston Crab earlier! Donovan now begins perching himself on the top rope while Veena is trying to recover as quickly as possible from the Knee Lift. But it might already be too late because Donovan Duke is ready on the top pad, looking to fly high!… TOP ROPE CROSSBODY!!!!
Eve: OH!!!! GETS CAUGHT!!!! WHAT A JUMPING KNEE CAUGHT DONOVAN IN THE AIR!!!!!Veena might still be exhausted from enduring the pressure of the Enzuigiri and Knee Lift she took earlier, but with that decisive counter, it’s becoming her saving grace right here while Donovan is stumbling to one knee, stunned and debilitated by the strike that just rocked his face in mid-air!
Deadprez: Adams turns around and sees the perfect opportunity right in front of her! She quickly tucks Donovan’s head between her legs and swiftly twists him around… BAM!!!!! VEENA ADAMS JUST PLANTED DONOVAN’S FACE AS HARD AS SHE POSSIBLY COULD WITH THE SCISSORS STOMP!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But she’s not done, she quickly gets to her feet as Donovan is still down, his face pressed against the mat completely… AND SHE SEALS THE DEAL BY DRIVING A BRUTAL ELBOW SMASH TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!!!!!
Eve: That’s not a great sight for Silas World as their saddened expressions show their disappointment in seeing their Answers World Champion being dominated over time, no matter how hard he’s trying to pick himself back up. Veena Adams quickly rolls Donovan over and now goes for the cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Eve: TWO AGAIN!!!!!! DONOVAN KICKS OUT!!!!!!!! This main event has consistently shown that Veena Adams is willing to do anything to prove her point and make it clear against the current Answers World Champion, Donovan Duke. She believes he still has a long way to go to keep up with her, and in the end, she intends to walk out as the winner of this match with a decisive victory over the world champion.
Deadprez: Adams slowly scales back up to her knees and now finds herself gradually reaching for the corner, making her way to the top turnbuckle this time. Veena begins turning around and she’s waiting for the moment Donovan Duke gets back to his feet as she carefully watches him push himself off the ground. Veena is standing tall at the top, and she’s looking to take flight as she’s soaring high through the air to take him down!… FLYING CROSSBODY!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, and speaking of small size with big strength, that’s Donovan Duke for you! Just as Veena Adams leaps toward him, he catches her mid-air with both arms and rolling firmly backm on his feet! Veena remains trapped in his grasp, and just look at the power of the Answers World Champion as he hoists her onto his shoulders, slowly lifting her up and setting her up for his next move!… ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER RACK DROP BY DONOVAN DUKE!!!!!! VEENA ADAMS CRASHES HARD ONTO THE MAT TO THE GROUND WITH FORCE!!!!!
Eve: But Donovan Duke isn’t stopping there! The moment Veena hits the mat, he quickly seizes one of her arms, rolling through…. STRAIGHT INTO THE TRIANGLE CHOKE SUBMISSION HOLD!!!!! HE’S LOOKING TO DRAIN THE LIFE OUT OF VEENA ADAMS, IMMEDIATELY CAPITALIZING AFTER THAT TORTUROUS RACK DROP SHE SUFFERED JUST MOMENTS AGO!!!!
Deadprez: Jumping straight into the transition, Donovan Duke isn’t wasting any time after letting Veena Adams run around just long enough for his plan to unfold! Veena Adams is trapped in the Triangle Choke; a dangerous submission hold that makes it incredibly difficult for her to escape!
Gavin Kirkland: She has to figure out a way to counter this move and break free before it’s too late! Veena desperately tries to find an escape, throwing her leg around in an attempt to reach the ropes for a break but Donovan isn’t letting up as he tightens the submission even further by applying extra pressure to make the hold even more unbearable for Veena to endure!
Eve: Veena is teetering on unsteady feet, but that doesn’t mean she’s out of options. Her head is still trapped in the Triangle Choke, with Donovan Duke applying it tightly! He could very well make her pass out right here! She’s showing signs of fading… Donovan Duke might have it here-
Deadprez: But wait! Veena clenches her fist and starts swinging back with everything she has left! She’s not giving up this fight easily! She’s fighting back against Donovan Duke, who is still holding onto the Triangle Choke and refusing to let go!
Gavin Kirkland: … And Veena Adams is lifting him up! How the hell does she still have that much energy left to pull this off?! The Golden Star is putting her full capability on display, looking to prove Donovan Duke wrong!
Eve: This can only mean one thing and I’m not talking about fighting spirit! She’s going for one of her fatal moves, and Donovan Duke is about to get hit with it! Veena is using all her strength to lift him up!… EFFECTIVE BY VEENA ADAMS!!!!!!!!!!!! The Front Powerbomb Lungblower just drilled into the spine of Donovan Duke, turning it into a grueling impact with those sharp knees precisely connecting for a decisive offensive maneuver against him!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s a truly desperate attempt to pull off against Donovan Duke, who just had his back planted hard! Veena Adams goes for a cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND TWO!!!! A SHOULDER UP BY DONOVAN!!!!! That just goes to show Veena Adams clearly that she’s not going to have an easy night dealing with Donovan Duke, not with how much fight he still has left in him.
Deadprez: But remember, he may be a cocky guy, but Donovan Duke is still a tough competitor who won’t go down without a fight! Veena now slowly gets back to her feet after briefly getting her hands on Donovan. She positions herself in the corner, watching him from afar, carefully waiting to capitalize on the best opportunity!
Eve: Her right boot shows that she’s locked and loaded, ready to crack it in half! Veena charges out of the corner, LOOKING FOR THE SKULL FRACTURE KICK ON DONOVAN DUKE WHO JUST GOT TO BOTH KNEE!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: REJECTED!!!!! Donovan moves his head up causing Veena to miss and stumble forward, tripping over after missing the kick! Donovan seizes the opportunity, reaching for her leg… AND THE ANKLE LOCK IS APPLIED!!!!!! Veena Adams has been countered and is now being taken down and the pressure is on as Donovan Duke wrenches in the Ankle Lock!
Deadprez: The Ankle Lock completely catches Veena Adams off guard, and things aren’t looking great for her here! Silas World is seen shouting and motivating Donovan to go straight for the finish, urging him to put her away now that he has seized control!
Eve: The Answers World Champion has the hold locked in tight! Veena Adams is struggling hard as the Ankle Lock is applied, but nothing is looking good for her right now! Elysium is there at ringside, giving Veena Adams support, clearly believing she’s going to make it out alive and outlast Donovan Duke tonight!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s desperately crawling toward the ropes, reaching out for the ropes but Donovan still hangs on to the Ankle Lock, making sure nothing gets in his way! Veena Adams is struggling, barely able to reach her destination, and things aren’t looking great for her right now! She’s in real pain! Might she tap out right here and call it quits? Is that all she has left?
Deadprez: Nah, I don’t think so! Look at Veena’s face; it’s full of fight! She’s determined refusing to give in, forcing her battered body to move despite her leg being tortured by the Ankle Lock right now!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s pushing through the pain, forcing herself to get to the ropes! Just reach it already! It’s right there! You have a chance to make it out alive, Veena! That’s your golden ticket to free yourself!
Eve: Veena is making it far and she’s about to reach out… but Donovan isn’t going to let that happen! He’s dragging her away from the ropes before she can even make contact!
Deadprez: Oh, wait a minute! Veena just uses her free leg while being pulled back to counter as she yanks Donovan in and sends him flying toward the ropes with a Drop Toe Hold takedown!
Gavin Kirkland: And that just sends the World Champion to the same side as Silas World, who are carefully tending to him! Meanwhile, Veena is getting to her feet as the referee checks on Silas World, making sure they’re not planning any tricks while their World Champion is down!
Eve: But wait, Veena is already making a move! She throws herself off the ropes and charges forward from behind the refere!
Gavin Kirkland: Ref, move out of the way!
Eve: SUICIDE DIVE!!!!!!!!! But it didn’t connect because Ronan pushed Veena out of the way and took the bullet for Donovan Duke!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena is furious! She follows up with a forearm smash, driving Ronan down even further! Harper and Brianna are trying to step into the scene, but here comes Elysium! They aren’t letting anyone lay a hand on Veena, standing tall to guard her! Harper Lee and Brianna Hill are retreating, hesitating to make a move!
Deadprez: Donovan is seen sneaking back into the ring, but Veena catches that too! She quickly rolls back inside and positions herself near the ropes, waiting to cut down the rising Donovan with a Spear! A move that’s half an attack! Paying an homage to her uncle! VEENA RUNS–
Gavin Kirkland: AND- OH!!!! WHAT A CLEAN COUNTER!!!!! DUKE ALLOWS VEENA TO CHARGE TOWARD HIM AND HE COUNTERS, PLANTING HER FACE-FIRST INTO THE MAT WITH THE ALLEY OOP FACEBUSTER!!!!!
Eve: She just ran straight into one of his signature moves, Fall From Grace! Veena has definitely fallen from grace after that! Donovan Duke quickly turns around, dropping into a cover on her!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THREE-
Eve: VEENA KICKS OUT AT TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fall From Grace for sure, but that wasn’t enough to put Veena Adams down just yet! Donovan Duke knows this and is already making his next move to finish the job!
Deadprez: Duke slowly rises, yanking Veena up by her hair and forcing her back onto both knees! Veena is barely able to get up as her face shows the pain from taking that Alley Oop Facebuster at such a high pressure moment!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke is setting her up! He tucks her head between his legs, PREPARING FOR RUIN AND DEMISE THAT COULD END IT ALL FOR HER!!!!!!!
Eve: Veena is quickly using both arms, trying to pull herself out of this dire situation! She’s telling herself she won’t let this happen struggling to break free but Donovan, growing annoyed, delivers a decisive blow to Veena’s spine with a right hand clubbing strike!
Deadprez: Duke lands another for good measure, and Veena eventually drops to her knees! That’s not a great look for her! Veena is in trouble! Her arms are hooked as Donovan is going for a second attempt at his Tiger Driver finisher yet again!
Gavin Kirkland: THESZ PRESS COUNTER ON THE CHAMPION!!!!! Now Veena begins raining down stiff forearm strikes and rapidly delivering each shot with intensity! She’s not wasting any time now unleashing a relentless barrage on Donovan Duke!
Eve: Donovan is caught off guard once again, completely defenseless against these shots when he was just about to execute his finisher! Eventually, Duke pushes Veena off and rolls back to his feet!… AND DONOVAN LOOKS TO MEET HER BY KNOCKING HER TO THE GROUND WITH FORCE OF WILL!!!!!!!
Deadprez: COUNTER!!!! That spinning back fist attempt from Donovan is failing as Veena Adams ducks, catching the swinging arm and taking it out with the double kneearm breaker!
Gavin Kirkland: She usually follows up with the kneeling armbar, but she doesn’t seem like she’s going for it this time by just allowing Donovan to feel the pain in his arm! Veena rolls out of the way and is now at the corner, waiting for Donovan to turn around!… AND VEENA TAKES HIM OUT WITH A RUNNING SPEAR!!!! THE GOLDEN STAR GOT HIM!!!!! COVER!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THREE-
Gavin Kirkland: AND DONOVAN DUKE IS STILL ABLE TO KICK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! But the champion is still taking a decisive blow big time after failing to take her out with Ruin and Demise, which eventually leads to the Spear attack!
Eve: Donovan is legitimately hurt from the Spear, and Veena is sensing a choice to make here as she’s not looking to waste any more time! Veena is finishing, shielding, limping all the way up to the top rope, and she’s reaching it!
Deadprez: Veena is beginning to stand tall, and Donovan is grinding on the ground, still reeling from the Spear! She’s about to leap for the Fatal Vow!
Gavin Kirkland: Not this bald moron! Silas Mason is leaping up to the apron, trying to distract Veena! Veena tries to brush him off from the top corner, but Mason moves out of the way!-
Eve: BATMAN PUNCH!!!! THANKS FOR COMING, SILAS MASON!!!! Mason comes off the apron, but Bronson has already welcomed him down there with the Batman Punch, just taking him out hard! Here comes Silas World approaching but Elysium is the one moving away satisfied with taking out Silas Mason like that!
Deadprez: Just because they are satisfied doesn’t mean it comes with the good outcome they expected, as Veena turns around, trying to swing her right hand at Donovan, who has eventually recovered from the Spear and bounces off the ropes!… WHAT A LARIAT!!!! Duke comes off the ropes and just knocks the wind out of Veena Adams at the center of the ring with a massive lariat from the Answer World Champion!
Eve: Donovan has really turned her inside out, and now he sees a chance to lock in the win! Donovan Duke turns toward the corner and begins climbing to the top rope after knocking Veena down cold with the lariat. Veena tries to get back to her feet, but it might be too late! Donovan is at the top and takes flight!… LOOKING FOR GENESIS!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And just like that, Veena Adams moves out of the way, causing Donovan Duke to miss and roll back onto his feet! The Answers World Champion misses the mark, quickly turning around to face her. Donovan spins around again GOING FOR THE FORCE OF WILL!!!!!
Deadprez: Veena ducks underneath his arm…. and answers back, returning the favor with a lariat to the back of his head! But that’s not all as Veena pulls Donovan back after hitting the lariat to the back of his head and raises her thumb!.. UP!!!! VEENA CONNECTS WITH THE THUMB UP DIRECTLY TO DONOVAN DUKE’S WINDPIPE, KNOCKING HIM OUT COLD AFTER HITTING THE LARIAT!!!!
Eve: She’s hitting back-to-back moves, putting Donovan in an absolutely dire position for the champion! But that’s not all for Veena Adams as she’s stumbling toward the corner and now climbing all the way up to the top turnbuckle! Veena is making her ascent, and she finally reaches the top!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s right! Veena is going to risk it all and fly high, aiming for Donovan Duke, who is already down and seemingly out cold!… TWISTED VEENA!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL ROUNDING BODY PRESS AND A COVER!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
(….)
(….)
Gavin Kirkland: AND NO!!!! DONOVAN POWERS OUT AT 2.9!!!!!!!!! Those moves might have dealt significant damage, but Donovan still manages to find a way out, surviving to fight another day despite Veena Adams’ relentless attack!
Deadprez: But Veena remains confident! She’s looking to end this once and for all, the expression on her face saying it all. Now Veena pulls herself up to her feet, throwing herself into the corner as she carefully watches her opponent, who has endured punishment time and time again, and now she’s ready to put him away for good!
Eve: And wait a second, Harper’s hand just snuck in, attempting to trip Veena, but Veena caught her and shook it off just in time!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s distracted now, with Harper trying to bait her to the outside while Elysium remains relaxed, brushing Veena off completely! Veena doesn’t have time to deal with this anymore; she needs to finish the job!… VEENA RUNS IN FRO SKULL FRACTURE!!!!
Deadprez: And Donovan Duke rises back to his feet, swinging for the Ole Reliable Punch, but Veena stops him, catching his arm in midair! She immediately drives her knee into his arm, attempting to snap it in half!
Eve: Veena then flips Donovan over with a Judo Throw…. AND TRANSITIONS DIRECTLY INTO THE KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY!!! THE KIMURA LOCK SUBMISSION HOLD!!! SHE HAS HIM!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Is she going to be able to make him tap out? Is this going to be King of Elite 2023 all over again for Veena Adams? She’s about to beat Donovan once again!
Deadprez: OH COME ON!!!!
Eve: Harper Lee just entered the ring, running from behind to blindside Veena Adams! And here come Ronan Malosi and Brianna Hill, storming into the ring and jumping Veena as well! They can’t stand watching Donovan Duke helplessly suffer any longer!
(DING DING DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION!… VEENA ADAMS!
Deadprez: And now all hell is breaking loose! Elysium has joined forces, taking control against Harper Lee and Brianna Hill, while Veena Adams fights back against Ronan Malosi, who continues trying to stomp her down to the ground! Both teams are battling fiercely, but it seems like Elysium is slowly becoming outnumbered!
Gavin Kirkland: Main event may be over, but this rivalry is just getting started! Bronson Daniels is going after Harper Lee, Jon Kelton is battling Brianna Hill, and Ronan Malosi and Veena Adams are trading fierce blows, with Veena striking Ronan even harder to wear him down further!
Eve: Bronson Daniels manages to keep Harper at bay, while Jon Kelton remains evenly matched against Brianna Hill! There’s chaos everywhere in the ring, while our world champion Donovan Duke is seen being restrained by Silas Mason but Donovan manages to escape!-
(‘Don’t’ by Azumi Takahashi and Lotus Juice hits the PA system!)
Deadprez: OH YESSIR!
Gavin Kirkland: SAME THOUGHT, PREZ! And there’s always backup for this match because here comes the former Universal Women’s Champion, Milli Banks!
Eve: She’s marching down to the ring as quickly as possible and jumps straight in immediately hitting the Lou Thesz Prez on Harper Lee, who had just broken away from Bronson Daniels to attack Milli. But Banks is quicker, and now she’s raining down fists and fury on Harper Lee, channeling all her emotions into each strike!
Deadprez: Damn, there are so many things happening in this ring right now! Can we replay this in slow motion so I can properly follow each one?
Gavin Kirkland: There are certainly a lot of things happening right now, but what we can clearly see is Donovan Duke and Silas Mason making their way up the ramp toward the stage! They’ve managed to escape, but fights are still raging inside the ring!
Eve: Seems like at least some members of Silas World have made it out safely after all-
Gavin Kirkland: CUTTER OUTTA NOWHERE TAKES OUT THE WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!…
Deadprez: THAT’S MY MAN!
Eve: SOSA HENDERSON! HE JUST TOOK DONOVAN DOWN WITH STOLE YO BITCH ON STAGE!!!! Mason is trying to approach, but Henderson scares him off with an intense glare, threatening him away as Mason can only stand back!
Gavin Kirkland: There’s nothing he can do about it! Henderson is closing out the show for the world champion by taking him out, and the statement has been made here!
(Brawl between Showdown and Silas’ World is still raging in the ring, while SOSA Henderson stands on the stage, looking down at Donovan Duke with cold-blooded eyes as the final scene shows both sides still going at each other before fading to elsewhere.)
