(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of everything that happened in last week’s Showdown. Jon Kelton gives out a speech apologizing for everything that he has done in the few months, promising that he will take down The British Invasion and fix what he has started, and proclaim himself for the Grand Rampage too, as the crowd is able to accept his apology. Usagi Senshi defeats Jane Chrissty. Damien Kutcher is given an opportunity to fight Michael Machina for the New Breed Championship. Auburn Ware defeats Madison Kaline after a small interference from Princess Candice. Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley send out threats about taking the Unified Tag Team Championships for themselves. Adam Lucas defeats Clayton Golde, but after his match, Solomon Stane attacks him, Adam tries to get the advantage but out of nowhere, he gets attacked by Caroline and gets laid out, as her and Solomon made a shocking alliance. Some Showdown elitists enter the Grand Rampage, like Kirk Redwood, Usagi Senshi, Clayton Golde and ARIA. Miku Sakai defeats Ashlynn Quinn by countout after she throws her mask out of the ring, with Miku laying Raven out after the match. Veena is informed by Alana Starr that at Grand Rampage, she will be facing Daniella Atlas for the National Elite Championship, but also Madison Kaline and Princess Candice will have a match to be added to the match to make it a triple threat, Veena obviously isn’t happy hearing that. In the main event, ARIA defeats Daryl Kinkade by DQ as Pandora interferes with Halsey, and the British Invasion lay out and attack ARIA, with Kelton out of nowhere arriving and saving ARIA from the beatdown. In the last segment of the night, Chef Viz and Cy Henderson have a contract signing, the two of them go in a back and forth before they sign the contract, they break out into a brawl and Cy stands tall to end the show.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of The United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the rowdy Chicago crowd can be seen cheering incredibly loud. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators.)
Deadprez: TLA IS A PART OF SHOWDOWN NOW! THE MISSING PIECE OF THE TRADE FOR HIKARI KANNO AND WHILE HE IS NOT MEDICALLY CLEARED AND KENNEDY STREET TOLD HIM TO STAY HOME AND RECOVER…. HE MIGHT BE HERE TONIGHT!
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN, SUPER SHOWDOWN EDITION!!!
Gavin Kirkland: CHICAGOOOOOOOO! CHICAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: I DON’T KNOW WHY GAVIN IS JUST SCREAMING CHICAGO, BUT YES, WE BRING TO YOU TONIGHT SUPER SHOWDOWN: CHI-TOWN HEAT! BECAUSE WE BRINGING THE HEAT IN EVERY WAY IN THE LEAD UP TO GRAND RAMPAGE!
Eve: We have Usagi Senshi going up against Caroline after the way Caroline won against her at Reasonable Doubt, Madison Kaline and Princess Candice having… a lot of trouble co-existing since Blind Faith and now they let out that frustration tonight on a one on one with a chance at the National Elite Championship on the line, as well as our Answers World Champion in action, Chef Viz facing off against Kirk Redwood.
Deadprez: Also seeing Scott Diamond go up against Raven Roberts and in the main event, it has been almost three years since these women first met, from rivals, to possible friends, and to enemies throughout the entire season, ARIA and Pandora clash in a Chicago Street Fight!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT FIRST WE GOT FAT TERRY, LET’S GET RIGHT INTO IT, WOOOO!
Deadprez: LET’S KICK IT O….
(Deadprez is interrupted as ‘Rise Today’ by Alter Bridge hits over the speakers, the fans immediately giving a mixed reaction to the imminent arrival of a true EAW legend.)
Deadprez: Well, it looks like we are kicking off with a bang, and an appearance from one of the most well-known Elitists to ever reside on our roster… Terry Chambers
(The man himself appears on the stage, and the boos seem to drown out the jeers, potentially from PJ Hendrix fans in attendance. He stands there and takes in the reaction, milking it for all it is worth before making his way down to the ring.)
Deadprez: Terry has certainly polarized the fanbase with his actions of late. It certainly hasn’t been like the Terry of old.
Eve: There seems to be an edge to him, a bitterness to the way his return has gone. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: The arrogance of you two… Terry Chambers doesn’t have to explain himself to anyone after all he has achieved. These people should be thankful that he has blessed us with his presence.
Deadprez: I don’t know about Gavin, but to say he shouldn’t explain, I can’t agree with that statement. A lot of people pay good money to watch our Elitist, especially a legendary figure like Terry Chambers. People looked up to him…
Gavin Kirkland: And they still should… if he can take care of a whiny little kid like PJ Hendrix, then that’s ok with me.
(Terry reaches the ring and walks around it, grabbing a mic from the announce table before nipping up onto the apron. He then bends through the strands and calls for his music to stop, which it almost immediately does, fading out. Terry then stands in the center of the ring, a smirk on his face as a ‘PJ Hendrix’ chant breaks out, Terry calling for the crowd to simmer down.)
Terry Chambers: You’re still calling for him… really?
(Boos ring out, which causes Terry to roll his eyes in disappointment.)
Terry Chambers: Wow, I knew things were bad around here, but you truly believe he is the standard? Someone who is as much at fault for how things are around here as every single person in this arena.
(Somehow, the boos get even louder, but Terry is now on a roll and cannot be distracted from what he wants to say.)
Terry Chamber: I don’t enjoy having to do things you know? It’s not how I anticipated things going when I came back to this company. I was perfectly content with climbing the ladder and inevitably becoming World Champion again, but it didn’t take me long to understand just how far Showdown had fallen. I mean, I know your last two champions before the Visual Prophet were Jake Smith, and Adam Lucas, so we could really expect a lot, but Showdown wasn’t just the third best brand in EAW… it had become the stomping ground for every single piece of trash in the industry. So, I decided to stop being so selfish, and stop thinking about my own accomplishments. That’s right, I made a sacrifice, all because I knew what needed to be done. I knew I had to take out the bottom feeders like PJ Hendrix and make Showdown again. I knew I had to do that for every single one of you.
Gavin Kirkland: Yes Terry, preach my friend. Haven’t I been telling the two of you this for ages?
Eve: We don’t listen to you Gavin
Gavin Kirkland: Well perhaps you should.
(Terry has paused, showing what seems like true remorse for his actions.)
Terry Chambers: And I didn’t want to do it, seriously, I promise you I didn’t. But I found myself compelled to take actions where no one else would. If I wasn’t going to take a stand, then no one else was going to step up to the plate. So, you need to understand, it isn’t my fault what has happened to your apparent favorites. It’s not my fault that you are angry with me right now, when the fact is you should be thanking me for what I have done. These were the consequences of the actions, I have had to endure since my return, those that disrespected my work, and my name. The people with short memories. People that have forgotten that I have victories over some of the best, including SOSA Henderson, Darcy May Morgan and even the current World Champion Minerva. They were all former or current champions, and yet you have the nerve to expect me to let me name be defamed. You ridicule me when I return… when my only intention was to show the entire world that I wanted, no I needed to finish my story. This is what is done to me, this is what is allowed to be done, to someone who built this company while the likes of PJ Hendrix were still learning how to do an arm bar. All of this, and yet I’m our here explaining myself, even though most don’t deserve my explanation…
Gavin Kirkland: Told you.
Deadprez: Shut up Gavin.
Terry Chambers: All of this, and yet I’m still cleaning up this place… for YOU.
(Boos ring out again, no one buying the story and especially not the man who appears at the top of the ramp, microphone already in hand.)
Kirk Redwood: Will you just shut the hell up already?
(The roof nearly comes off the place, as Kirk stands on the stage, his eyes never leaving Terry, who seems incredulous as to the interruption.)
Deadprez: Kirk Redwood has heard enough apparently.
Gavin Kirkland: I can smell the guy from here.
Eve: No, you can’t, that’s your nose too close to your…
Deadprez: Eve, play nice… even if you are right.
Terry Chambers: Ah, and right on cue, one of the bottom feeders I was referring to. Kirk Redwood ladies and gentlemen.
(Terry looks surprised as his introduction gets a huge cheer, then he looks more than a little confused.)
Kirk Redwood: Bottom feeder? That’s where you have placed me huh? Well, I reckon I’d rather be a bottom feeder, that a whiny son of a bitch.
(The crowd predictably erupts, Terry shouting at them to shut up.)
Kirk Redwood: Yeah, that’s right Terry, this guy here gets the reaction that you crave, and you should know you’ve brought it all on yourself. Let me spell it out to you as you seem to be a little confused, right now you’re not fit to lace Minerva’s boots, never mind speak her name. Those names you mentioned, if they were still here, they’d be whupping your ass as we speak. You’re bragging about things that happened over four years ago Terry, NO ONE CARES what happened back then. So, tell you what, let’s talk about right NOW. Let’s talk about someone who can beat your ass and send you right back into semi-retirement where you belong.
(The crowd roars their approval, as Terry gives it some thought.)
Deadprez: Kirk Redwood with a huge challenge, that would be quite the match.
Eve: Terry can really refuse, can he?
Gavin Kirkland: As if he would… but I’m going to advise him of some of the clauses Veena asked for. Terry doesn’t want to catch something.
(Back in the ring Terry smiles and then nods his head.)
Terry Chambers: You know what Kirk, I came out here to take my place in the Grand Rampage, and I know you are in that match too, so I could wait till then. But you know what, there is no time better than the present, so you know what? Next week, you and me… I accept. It will be my pleasure to remove another piece of the trash from this brand and get us one step closer to where we SHOULD be.
(Kirk just chuckles, not taking any offence to Terry’s words.)
Kirk Redwood: Good, then that’s settled.
(He turns to leave, but then stops, turning back to Terry.)
Kirk Redwood: Oh, and one last thing Terry, the only trash around here… is you. So, it will be my pleasure to show you that Showdown is in the best hands. And that WE…
(He points out over the arena.)
Kirk Redwood: …don’t need YOU.
(He turns and walks back through the curtain, and the fans chant his name, infuriating Terry still further. He cannot understand why they are chanting for Kirk, and not him. He drops the mic and slides out the ring as his music hits again, and he then storms up the rampway, even more determined that he will succeed in his mission. And right the Showdown ship.)
Deadprez: There you have it then guys, next week Terry Chambers will face Kirk Redwood one on one, and you must think this will have some repercussions for Grand Rampage. Both guys are in it, so will they be doing all that they can to ensure their opponent isn’t?
Eve: Kirk isn’t just fighting for himself; he’s fighting to prove that Terry Chambers is wrong about our brand.
Gavin Kirkland: Showdown is the best brand on the planet, no question. But it will be even better when Terry Chambers gets his way. PJ Hendrix… perhaps Kirk Redwood, you have to wonder who will be next? And I can’t wait to find out once Terry gives Kirk another ‘L’ in the loser column.
(At the top of the ramp Terry turns, scoffing once again at the crowd’s reaction, before heading to the back as the scene cuts away.)
( After the opening segment featuring Terry Chamber, Showdown returns to the ring with Gina Romano standing tall in the center, holding a microphone to welcome the crowd to the opening contest. )
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘I am not a woman, I’m a god’ by Halsey hits the PA system as Usagi Senshi slowly walks into a chorus of boos from the Chicago crowd. She glances at the ring and then at the crowd, shaking her head in disgust at the atmosphere as she makes her way straight to the ring. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM FUKUOKA, JAPAN!… WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS!… STARBOY!!!!!!!!!…. USAGIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… SENSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MOMMY #1 IS HERE! MY SENPAI! MY WAIFU! MY FAVORITE TITOKER! MY かわいい人形 !!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: What is the last thing you said?
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t worry about it.
Eve: :mjpls:
Gavin Kirkland: ANYWAYYYYYYY! Usagi was all fired up last week with Caroline watching her from afar, and tonight, they are coming out to face each other again. We saw last time she was here, the package where Usagi reflected on her goals and motivations. Could this match be the one to mirror that in flesh? We are going to see that fire from Usagi real soon!
( ‘Living Dead Girl’ by Rob Zombie now replaces her theme as Usagi enters the ring, and Caroline slowly strides through the smoke out of the darkness to the bright spotlight at the center of the stage. All lights focus on Caroline, who stands tall, looking at Usagi from the stage with a slight smile as she walks down from the stage to enter the ring. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT!… FROM PADUCAH, KENTUCKY!… WEIGHING IN AT 109 POUNDS!…. THE QUEEN OF SHADOWS!!!!…. CAAAAAAARRRRRROOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE #2 MOMMY EVEN THROUGH SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MY NUMBER ONE! THE BEST THING TO EVER COME OUT OF KENTUCKY SINCE JENNIFER LAWRENCE BUT THE BEST GOTH GIRL SINCE MINERVA!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Last week, Caroline found herself in an interaction with Adam Lucas and Usagi Senshi. Caroline, who already had her sights set on this, seems to be here solely to embarrass Usagi Senshi. Will that happen tonight? That depends on whether Usagi will let it happen or not.
( DING DING DING! )
Gavin Kirkland: MATCH OF THE NIGHT! FIVE STARS! GRAPS! GRAPS!
Eve: Alright, settle down, Gavin. We get it, you’re hyped for this match, but you can’t just burst out of your cave and start shouting. BUT THIS MOMENT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING EVER SINCE THIS RIVALRY BEGAN! USAGI BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER AND SENDS CAROLINE FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES, CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE APRON WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK!
Deadprez: This match is shaping up to be an absolute spectacle based on what we’ve witnessed so far. Caroline is struggling to regain her footing as the Chicago crowd is red hot for this match…. AND HERE COMES USAGI, LEAPING FROM THE SECOND ROPE WHILE CAROLINE IS STILL ON THE APRON!… OH YEAHHH!!! A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE SENDS CAROLINE CRASHING OFF THE APRON!
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi sure knows how to keep things moving! She’s quick,, just like me when I’m watching from here and know when to finish!
Eve: I don’t think you’re talking about wrestling, Gavin, but I can agree that Usagi always brings the intensity when her tenacity is unloaded! Caroline has been sent back into the ring after that springboard clothesline, and Usagi is perched on the apron, waiting for her moment!… SECOND SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE TAKING CAROLINE DOWN! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
Gavin Kirkland: A KICK OUT BY CAROLINE!
Eve: Caroline attempts to retreat, seeking respite to recover, but Usagi shows no intention of relenting!
Deadprez: With confidence in her ability, Usagi won’t retreat soon enough as well. Caroline finds herself backed into a corner… USAGI CHARGES IN FOR THE OPENING ASSAULT!… OUT OF THE WAY AND LEFT THE STARBOY SEEING THE STARS UPON AS USAGI’S FACE CRASHES INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: Usagi attempts to regain her composure, but Caroline wastes no time, making a dash towards the second ropes and springing off… a flying uppercut connects, sending Usagi crashing to the canvas!
Gavin Kirkland: Stumbling back to her feet, Usagi finds herself on the receiving end of Caroline’s relentless assault once more… CAROLINE CHARGES FORWARD… A RUNNING HURRICANRANA SENDS USAGI TUMBLING TO THE MAT AND THROUGH THE ROPES! CAROLINE REGAINS HER MOMENTUM AND TAKES CONTROL OF THE MATCH ONCE AGAIN!
Deadprez: These girls mean business, showing no mercy as they vie for control of the match. Caroline now eyeing the ropes, contemplating her next move… What could she possibly have in store?
Gavin Kirkland: WOAH! WHAT A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY OFF THE TOP TAKING USAGI DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE!
Eve: Great offense being shown by Caroline as she puts her opponent under pressure once more! Caroline is able to get back to her feet and sends her opponent rolling back inside the ring this time.
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline now hops onto the apron and begins climbing to the top. Usagi manages to get to her knees just as Caroline is already aiming to fly!… A DIVING MOONSAULT GOES RIGHT INTO A COVER! USAGI IS DOWN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
Gavin Kirkland: A KICK OUT BY USAGI SENSHI! ONLY TWO COUNTS!
Deadprez: We’re seeing a lot of high-flying maneuvers on display here, but as you can see, Usagi needs to start putting her aggression aside and focus to the maximum because it could soon become a disadvantage if she loses control.
Eve: That’s a good analysis you’re providing there, Prez. So far, Usagi has been driven by her emotions, while Caroline knew she couldn’t allow herself to be on the same emotional level. That’s why her focus has been dominating against Usagi’s attempts.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s been a game of who’s dominating more here, but Caroline isn’t looking to back down just yet. She’s back up on her feet, getting Usagi back on top again, tossing her towards the corner and making a run followed by a right foot towards her jaw, sending Caroline staggering away.
Eve: Usagi steps in and quickly nails a shot with her elbow to the side of Caroline’s neck, then seizes her wrist and sends her into the ropes, looking for a clothesline on Caroline!
Deadprez: Caroline runs and slides underneath the arm, flipping off the ground and springboarding off the second rope this time, back to Usagi to take her down!- OH!
Eve: WHAT A CATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE LEAPED RIGHT INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKEHOLD BY USAGI SENSHI! THE TRIANGLE CHOKEHOLD HAS CAROLINE AT THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Eve: DON’T OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT WHILE HIGH-FLYING MANEUVERS MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO PREDICT, USAGI IS ALSO PROFICIENT IN TECHNICAL WRESTLING AND HAS THE CAPABILITY TO HALT CAROLINE’S MOMENTUM!
Deadprez: USAGI APPEARS TO HAVE GAINED CONTROL, BUT CAROLINE IS NOT GIVING UP EASILY, ATTEMPTING TO WRIGGLE FREE AND EXTRICATE HER ARMS FROM THE HOLD! USAGI STRUGGLES TO TIGHTEN HER GRIP-
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT, CAROLINE HOOKS BOTH LEGS AND SUDDENLY GOES FOR A JACKKNIFE COVER, LEAPING OVER INSTEAD!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
Gavin Kirkland: USAGI IS ABLE TO KICK OUT AGAIN!
Eve: Just when it seemed Caroline was about to succumb to Usagi’s relentless onslaught, she manages to turn the tables, attempting to lift Usagi up from the canvas BUT HER EFFORTS ARE MET WITH A PELE KICK TO THE HEAD! CAROLINE STAGGERS BACK TO THE ROPES AND BACK AS USAGI RISES TO HER FEET… INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX SENDS CAROLINE CRASHING BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!
Deadprez: Usagi begins to assert her dominance, rising back to her feet and seizing Caroline, maneuvering her into the corner… Usagi charges forward… A STEP UP ENZUIGIRI CONNECTS WITH CAROLINE IN THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Now hoisting her up onto the shoulder with Caroline left hanging from above, Usagi turns her gaze towards the corner and sprints back… A HANGING SOCCER KICK AND CAROLINE OFF THE CORNER BACK TO THE GROUND!
Eve: Usagi pulls Caroline closer for a cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
Eve: And yet another kick out! Both resilience and determination being displayed by Caroline, refusing to give up in this match. Usagi rises to her feet again just as Caroline slowly gets to her knees… OH! WHAT A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO HER CHEST!… AND ANOTHER ONE!
Gavin Kirkland: Wouldn’t Caroline’s chest be a crater by now? Those kicks are like gunshots echoing through the arena! Usagi is really laying into her!
Deadprez: That’s how you do it! Usagi is hitting a barrage of kicks, almost kicking the life out of Caroline! Goodness gracious, I’d have fainted after the first kick, man!
Gavin Kirkland: Speak for yourself, Prez! I’d welcome more kicks, unlike you!
Eve: I’m sure she wouldn’t just kick you; she’d find a way to age you rapidly. USAGI KEEPS DELIVERING THOSE STIFF KICKS, AIMING FOR CAROLINE’S CHEST AND NEARLY SENDING HER BACK TO THE GROUND! NOW USAGI SEES AN OPPORTUNITY AND LOOKS TO DELIVER THE KICK THAT COULD FINISH CAROLINE OFF FOR GOOD!
Gavin Kirkland: HOW THE HELL?? CAROLINE STILL ABLE TO CATCH THE LAST KICK! USAGI ATTEMPTS TO FREE HER LEG, BUT CAROLINE HAS IT LOCKED IN TIGHT… SETTING UP FOR THE SONG OF FIRE AND ICE BUT USAGI HOISTS HER UP FOR A BACKDROP SUPLEX
Deadprez: A BACKDROP SUPLEX IS WICKED!!!!!!!! THE BACKFLIP DDT TURNS THINGS AROUND FOR CAROLINE AND HERE IS A HOOK TO THE LEG! WHAT A TURN OF THE TABLES!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
THR-
Gavin Kirkland: NO! NO! A KICK OUT! ONLY AT TWO COUNTS!
Deadprez: THAT’S NOT A CONCERN RIGHT NOW! CAROLINE GETS BACK ON HER FEET AND SWIFTLY ROLLS DOWN TO THE ROPES! SHE REBOUNDS WITH SPEED, WHILE USAGI REMAINS UNCONSCIOUS, STILL SEEING STARS FROM THAT UNEXPECTED BACKFLIP DDT! CAROLINE LEAPS BACK INTO THE RING!… WIDOW SPLASH!
Gavin Kirkland: 450 SPLASHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!- WHAT?!!??!?!
Eve: A GUILLOTINE CHOKE OUT OF NOWHERE! HOW DID USAGI SENSEI COUNTER THE WIDOW SPLASH LIKE THAT?
Gavin Kirkland: TURNING THE SPLASH INTO A CRUSHED SPIDER WHEN IT COULDN’T LAND ON HER! NOW SHE’S DRAGGING CAROLINE BACK DOWN TO EARTH WITH A GUILLOTINE CHOKE, LOCKING HER IN A TIGHT CHOKEHOLD! CAROLINE IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AND COULD PASS OUT ANY MOMENT!
Eve: THAT’S AN UNEXPECTED MOVE INDEED, BUT CAROLINE WON’T GO DOWN EASILY! SHE ENDURED RIGHT UNTIL THE LAST SECOND AGAINST ALL ODDS AGAINST THE LEGEND HIMSELF, CY HENDERSON, AT REASONABLE DOUBT! SHE’S NOT GOING TO LET THAT EXPERIENCE GO TO WASTE IN THIS MATCH!
Deadprez: CAROLINE HAS ENDURED IMMENSE PAIN IN HER PAST MATCHES, AND SHE’S NOT GOING TO SUFFER ANOTHER DEFEAT AT THE HANDS OF USAGI SENSHI!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE’S DESPERATELY TRYING TO REACH THE ROPES, BUT THE REFEREE IS CHECKING ON HER, AND SHE SEEMS TO BE FADING FAST! USAGI MIGHT JUST HAVE HER BEAT!
Eve: LOOK AT THOSE LEGS, THEY’RE STILL SHAKING AS SHE TRIES TO FIND THE ROPES, BUT HER EXPRESSION TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY! IF THINGS DON’T TURN AROUND FOR CAROLINE SOON, USAGI COULD END THIS RIGHT HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: HOLD ON, LOOK! LOOK AT THE STRENGTH SHE’S MUSTERING! DESPITE THE SUBMISSION HOLD, CAROLINE IS FIGHTING TO GET BACK ON HER FEET-
Eve: SHE IMMEDIATELY COLLAPSES BACK DOWN WHEN USAGI APPLIES EVEN MORE PRESSURE, MAKING IT HARDER FOR HER TO REACH THE FINISH LINE! CAROLINE JUST CAN’T SEEM TO MAKE IT YET!
Deadprez: THE MORE CAROLINE RESISTS, THE WORSE IT GETS! SLOWLY BUT SURELY, SHE’S MANEUVERING BOTH HERSELF AND USAGI TOWARD THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: IT SEEMS LIKE THE LEVERAGE IS GOING TO BE A GAME-CHANGER FOR CAROLINE! SHE’S SQUIRMING SLOWLY, DESPERATELY TRYING TO REACH! SHE’S NOT GIVING UP!
Eve: USAGI IS RELENTLESS, TRYING TO BRING THIS TO AN END, BUT IT’S NOT WORKING! CAROLINE’S LEFT FOOT BARELY REACHES THE ROPES, FORCING USAGI SENSHI TO BREAK THE HOLD! IT’S A NARROW ESCAPE FOR CAROLINE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THAT’S NOT THE END OF IT, AS USAGI QUICKLY RISES BACK TO HER FEET AND SETS HER SIGHTS ON CAROLINE’S HEAD!
Deadprez: CAROLINE NEEDS TO START BREATHING AND GET BACK ON TOP! USAGI CHARGES OUT OF THE CORNER, TAKING AIM!… FATALITY!!!!!!!!!-
Gavin Kirkland: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Deadprez: WOAH!!!!!! MY GOD!
Eve: SPANISH FLY! A RUNNING COUNTER PUTTING THE BICYCLE KNEE ASIDE! CAROLINE LANDS IT RIGHT INTO A COVER ON USAGI SENSHI!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
THR-
Gavin Kirkland: USAGI POWERS OUT AT TWO! AT TWO! ONLY TWO!
Deadprez: THAT SPANISH FLY COUNTER REALLY CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD! WE HAVEN’T SEEN THAT MOVE IN QUITE SOME TIME, AND CAROLINE JUST PULLED IT OUT IN THE NICK OF TIME TO SAVE HERSELF FROM THE FEMALE SPEED DEMON, USAGI SENSHI!
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline rolls out and manages to find herself back on her feet…. USAGI SENSHI IS STILL STUNNED BY THE SPANISH FLY, AND CAROLINE QUICKLY CAPITALIZES, RUSHING BACK IN RIGHT AWAY!… LITTLE MONSTER-
Eve: SHE HAS SEIZED THE MOMENT, WITH CAROLINE QUICKLY ROLLING AND CATCHING HER ON TOP OF HER SHOULDERS! CAROLINE DIDN’T SEE THAT MOVE COMING FROM USAGI AT ALL, AND NOW SHE’S BEING STACKED UP!… LOST IN THE FIRE! THE POWERBOMB DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER!
Deadprez: OHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! RELEASING HERSELF OFF THE SHOULDERS INTO THE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB DRIVES USAGI TO THE GROUND INSTEAD! COUNTER AFTER COUNTER INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
THR-
Gavin Kirkland: A GREAT COUNTER BY CAROLINE INDEED, BUT USAGI SENSHI MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT TWO!
Eve: A VERY CLOSE CALL INDEED, AS CAROLINE SURPRISED US WITH THAT SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! NOW, CAROLINE ROLLS OUT AGAIN WITH USAGI SENSHI, WHO’S JUST BEEN PLANTED BACK TO THE GROUND, CLUTCHING HER SPINE WHILE CAROLINE MAKES HER MARK!…
Deadprez: A HURRICANRANA DIVES IN FOR A SWING, BUT OH WAIT, USAGI HAS JUST BEEN ABLE TO CATCH HER AGAIN! PUTTING HER BACK INTO THE POWERBOMB POSITION AND ATTEMPTING FOR THE SECOND TIME TO HIT HER AND PUT CAROLINE OUT!
Eve: CAROLINE NAILING SOME SHOTS TO USAGI’S HEAD AND KEEPS PUMMELING HER WITH FOREARMS REPEATEDLY TO THE TOP OF HER HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: USAGI HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RELEASE CAROLINE, WHO SEIZES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUP- SEIZING HER FOR THE BRAINBUSTER PLANTING HER AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! USAGI QUICKLY GOER FOR A COVER!

Eve: TWIRLS AROUND AND DELIVERS A SPINNING BACK FIST… FOLLOWED SWIFTLY BY A SPINNING BACK ELBOW!…
Gavin Kirkland: A WHIRLWIND SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK SPINS CAROLINE AROUND LIKE A TOP…. SETTING HER UP PERFECTLY FOR THE ULTIMATE ACE PLEX! HIGH ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX DRIVES CAROLINE TO THE GROUND AND BRIDGING FOR A COVER!
Deadprez: AH MAN!
Gavin Kirkland: OH COME ON! THAT’S FOUL!
( Crowd erupts into boos as Usagi attempts a bridging cover, but their displeasure is short-lived as the referee instantly notices Caroline’s hand resting beneath the bottom rope. Usagi, bridging for the pin as Caroline remains sprawled out but unfortunately, the whole circumstance is rendering the pin attempt invalid. )
Gavin Kirkland: It was certainly one hell of a combo, enough to put out Caroline, but sadly, Usagi finds herself in a bad spot to secure a victory! She still struggles to find the revenge she’s been seeking!
Deadprez: Caroline might need pure luck to pull this off because if Usagi was aware, she would have been done by now from those destructive combos!
Eve: Would you look at that? CAROLINE CLINGS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE AS USAGI LEAPS FROM THE TOP AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND GOING TO FINISH IT RIGHT HERE!… FATALITY!-
Deadprez: OHHHHHHHHHHH MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: VINTAGE CAROLINE!!!!!!!! A SUDDEN LEAP INTO A SPLIT LEG-DROP FOR THE COVER! SHE HAD IT PLANNED PERFECTLY, AND NOW USAGI IS DOWN WHILE CAROLINE SHOOTS STRAIGHT FOR THE GLORY!

Gavin Kirkland: USAGI IS STILL ABLE TO POWER OUT!
Eve: NO MATTER HOW MUCH CAROLINE WANTS TO KEEP HER DOWN, USAGI STILL FINDS A WAY TO GET BACK UP!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS MIGHT BE THE END AS CAROLINE IS NOW HEADING TO THE TOP ROPE! USAGI IS BARELY RECOVERING FROM THE VINTAGE CAROLINE WHILE CAROLINE POSITIONS HERSELF ABOVE THE TURNBUCKLE! THIS COULD BE IT!…. OFF THE TOP FOR WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME!

Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE IS STILL NURSING HER WOUNDS, BUT USAGI IS FEELING THE PAIN TOO! SHE HAS A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO ASCEND TO THE TOP AND ASSERT HER DOMINANCE!
Deadprez: THIS HAS TO BE A SPRINT TO THE FINISH RIGHT NOW BECAUSE USAGI COULD ALSO BE EYEING HER COLOSSAL DIVING ELBOW FINALE! SHE HAS TO HURRY!
Eve: CAROLINE IS ON THE VERGE OF RECLAIMING THE HIGH GROUND WHILE USAGI IS BARELY FINDING HER FOOTING AND STRIVING TO REGAIN HER EQUILIBRIUM!
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S TOO LATE! CAROLINE GOT HER WAY ON THE TOP RIGHT WHEN USAGI WAS SETTING FOR IT!…. OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! SOUTHERN GOTHIC FROM THE TOP! MOONSAULT POWERSLAM-
Eve: NOT GOING TO BEAT THE BUSH AROUND ANY LONGER AS SHE GOES STRAIGHT INTO THE CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! THE BRIDGING INVERTED INDIAN DEATHLOCK RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING HAS USAGI COMPLETELY CORNERED! SHE’S GOING NOWHERE!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE HAS NO CHOICE! USAGI TAPS OUT! CAROLINE WITH A VICTORY!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… CAROLINE!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT AN INCREDIBLE OPENING! WHAT A FEMALE SHOWCASE THAT’S GETTING THE ENTIRE CHICAGO CROWD AMPED UP TO HIGH ENERGY!
Eve: Truly a flawless start to the evening’s entertainment. Two competitors showcased their skills brilliantly in the ring tonight as the match had plenty of nail-biting moments. Perfect fast-paced match that kept everyone on the edge of their seats. They delivered an outstanding performance and deserve all the praise they receive!
( ‘Living Dead Girl’ by Rob Zombie hits the PA system as Caroline slowly rises to her feet, a triumphant smile spreading across her face as she raises her arms in victory. Meanwhile, Usagi stirs from the pain, clutching her jaw with an emotionless expression. )
Deadprez: Man I almost pee my pant when Usagi was about to win!
Gavin Kirkland: Me too but I didn’t just pee-
Eve: Don’t ruin our night like that, man.
Gavin Kirkland: Anyway! What a blazing kickoff we witnessed tonight, but more importantly, WHAT A DEVASTATING VICTORY BY CAROLINE! Did you see that? The Moonsault Powerslam seamlessly transitions into her ultimate submission maneuver! Caroline is on a whole other level!-
( Suddenly, the crowd explodes, blowing the roof off when ‘Be Legendary’ by Pop Evil hits The United Center. )
Gavin Kirkland: HJGE:BIUGPG$P*(#H*G(_HG*{BE$*({JH#)HGHGI{h[9aPHIGHP8UJHGHPERW8BGPEW89IPERW9GHPW8EIGHBP89RGHIE4WOG88GWHGW8HEWIPGHERWIHPG09EWHGEW8U9GH9EWIGTPEWI9HGP84GWH[IGHWI9GHWI[0GH’WIGH09
Deadprez: YESSIRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Eve: CAROLINE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S SEEING THE GHOST!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS! MY HANDSOME! MY WHITE KNIGHT! ADAM STORMS OUT WITH A STEEL CHAIR IN HAND, SEEKING VENGEANCE FOR WHAT CAROLINE DID TO HIM AFTER HIS MATCH AGAINST CLAYTON GOLD!
Eve: CAROLINE QUICKLY EXITS THE RING AND DISAPPEARS INTO THE CROWD AS ADAM SWINGS THE STEEL CHAIR, BUT HIS AIM ONLY MEETS THE BARRICADE! ADAM WASTES NO TIME IN HOT PURSUIT AND THEY BOTH CHASE TO THE BACK TOGETHER! ADAM IS OUT FOR BLOOD!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS IS MAD! HE’S UNHAPPY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK!
Deadprez: Guys uhhhh….
( While Adam chases Caroline to the back, the camera shifts back to Usagi Senshi, who slowly rises to her feet in the ring. She stares at her hands, feeling a void in her mind. Another defeat weighing heavily on her shoulders, she feels lost and unsure of what to do next. A sense of misery washes over her. She grapples with the disappointment of yet another loss. )
Gavin Kirkland: Is Usagi okay….
Eve: :lupe:
Gavin Kirkland: I think Usagi Senshi is deeply affected by this loss.
( Referee walks in from behind and diplomatically asks that Usagi leave the ring to allow the show to proceed. Usagi gazes back at him with blank eyes. )
Referee: (Off-Mic) Apologies for having to bother you like this, but we need to keep the show rolling. If you don’t mind, could you please leave the ring? We can assist you if neede-
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL??? SHE JUST KNOCKS THE REFEREE OUT WITH FATALITY!
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe:
Eve: :lupe:
Usagi Senshi: (Off-Mic) FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( Usagi cries and screams after knocking the referee out cold. She picks them up and drives the referee’s face into the middle turnbuckle. Snatching her head intensely, she feels absolutely hurt. She goes through the ropes and punches the cameraman down. The live footage cuts to another cameraman, showing Usagi seizing the million-dollar broadcasting camera to the ring post and destroying it completely. )
Gavin Kirkland: Oh my god, she completely loses it.
( Usagi starts tearing up the apron mat, then stomping it flat. She snatches a drink from a fan and hurls it directly into their face from the ringside area. )
Eve: Guys, look out!
( Usagi proceeds to tear off a chunk of the barricade before hurling it across the commentary table, narrowly avoiding injuring all three members. )
Deadprez: Ah man! What is wrong with this crazy chick!?-
Eve: Oh no, Gavin!
Gavin Kirkland: AYE AYE-
( Gavin’s mic cuts out as she strides towards him, grabbing him by the shirt collar and hurling him from the commentary booth to the ground. She glares down at him with an expression seething with annoyance, her face brimming with rage. Usagi charges over to Gina, shoving her off the chair, then snatches up a chair, folding it before rumbling back to Gavin with intent to harm as a bunch of security and executives immediately converge to restrain her. )
Eve: GET HER OUT OF HERE! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
( One of the guards immediately tackles her to the ground, followed by several others who take control of the situation. The crowd murmurs in fear and apprehension as they watch it all unfold. The camera pans in and shows the same guard who tackled her down beginning to restrain her by putting her hands behind her back. )
Security: (Off-Mic) GET ON THE GROUND! GET ON THE GROUND!
( As seen, Usagi finally has her hands tied up with handcuffs as the security guard steps back, joined by the executives and other security personnel who slowly gather to escort her backstage. Some of them help Gavin back to the commentary booth. The final shot captures Usagi trying to resist as she’s taken backstage, with the scene gradually fading into a commercial break. )
(“Hard Out Here for a Pimp” by Three 6 Mafia & Paula Campbell blares through the speakers as Damien Kutcher makes his way out from the back, a determined look on his face. He focuses solely on walking down the ramp to the ring. Kutcher is dressed appropriately for the situation as the swagger from his clothing and presentation oozes off him to those in attendance.)
Eve: Last week, we learned that Showdown General Manager Kennedy Street wanted Damien Kutcher to step up and face Dynasty’s Michael Machina for the EAW New Breed Championship, and that is a major step up for Kutcher!
Deadprez: This is his chance to show up and show out! No one has been able to take that championship away from Machina, but if we’re factoring in talent from Showdown? I think Kutcher’s got a great chance at posing a threat to the champion..
Gavin Kirkland: Are we going to ignore how in over his head Kutcher is here? Michael Machina is on a warpath to become the longest reigning New Breed Champion for a reason! I’m not quite sure what could change that.
(Kutcher enters the ring and grabs a microphone. As his theme dies down, he looks around to the crowd. It’s a bit of a mixed reaction for him, as brand loyalty is starting to shift in his favor.)
Damien Kutcher: I’ll get straight to the point, y’all. I have had my fair share of ups and downs since coming here to EAW. I have won some, I have lost some, but I ain’t letting that affect me. I’ve been on a bumpy road but all it takes is one win! One win that puts my name in the same conversation of folks that you absolutely can’t ignore when talking about Showdown! Chef Viz, Jon Kelton, Caroline, just to name a few..
(Kutcher glances around at the reaction for each name. It is great company to be with.)
Damien Kutcher: This is my chance to earn my first championship, the New Breed Championship and bring it here to Showdown! I know what I’m capable of. Don’t matter who it is that I’m in that ring with! Win or lose! I always find a way to hang with the very damn best! C’mon now, so why would that change now? I know that Michael Machina is a rare breed, but what I look like bein’ scared of him?
(Kutcher smirks, pacing around the ring as he starts to build hype up with his words.)
Damien Kutcher: It’s time that I finally make a name for myself. People are starting to take note of who I am, so how ‘bout I give them something to remember me by? The man who ended Michael Machina’s championship reign! And I know who he’s beaten, I know that I’m the underdog here y’all, but there ain’t any better way to prove so many different people wrong! All eyez on me and I can’t fumble here!
(Kutcher takes a deep breath, trying to keep composed when his intensity and passion is clearly coming out.)
Damien Kutcher: I know that the Grand Rampage is big. I know that everybody will have their eyes peeled on that show to see who earns a Pain For Pride main event match, but it will be even bigger for me cause I’m whooping Machina’s ass, ending his reign and stopping his chances from becoming the longest reigning New Breed Champion of all time!
(The fans start feeling Kutcher’s passion and a good deal start to cheer for him! Kutcher is locked in specifically on his speech, so he doesn’t acknowledge the cheers, but he sure as hell hears them.)
Damien Kutcher: I know that it ain’t gonna be easy, but that’s what’s gone make it sweeter. I don’t care what it takes, because that New Breed Championship is coming home to me!
(Kutcher grins as he emphatically slaps his chest.)
Damien Kutcher: I’M READY! I KNOW I AM! I’M READY! I’M REA–
(There’s a huge collective gasp from the audience as Michael Machina slides in the ring and nearly rips Kutcher in half with the Bullet From Hell! Machina just unleashed a hellacious spear and Kutcher is down on the ground, coughing out in pain. He holds at his ribs, groaning. The fans stand in shock as Machina simply unhooks the New Breed Championship from around his waist and raises it over Kutcher with a grin on his face.)
Michael Machina: (off-mic) You’re ready? Prove it.
(Machina stares down at Kutcher, with a sinister smile on his face as “Apostle’s Warning” by Mobb Deep plays. Machina steps over Kutcher and leaves the ring while a referee enters the ring to tend to him.)
Deadprez: That boy Michael Machina just made a statement! MY GOODNESS! Damien Kutcher is still feeling the effects of that Bullet From Hell!
Eve: It’s exactly what you have to look out for against a competitor like Michael Machina.. His unbridled power and aggression, Kutcher got his match with Machina but Machina leaves with the last laugh by sending such a message to him!
Gavin Kirkland: Just like I said! Kutcher is in over his head! Michael Machina doesn’t just scare you with his destructive performances in the ring, but the fear that he can implant in your head out of the ring! His intimidation tactics are second to none!
(As Machina heads to the back, the camera cuts back to the ring where Damien Kutcher is being helped up to his feet and out of the ring by referees. Looking to prove a point, Kutcher pushes them aside and leaves to the back on his own accord. The pain is clear as he holds his ribs the entire time as the camera cuts to the back.)
(We pan backstage as Showdown is now elsewhere on the show, as none other than — Mikaela Street can be seen.)
Mikaela Street: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest, Jane Chrissty!
(Jane Chrissty appeared on the camera, a smile on her face as she came into the scene.)
Mikaela Street: How are you, Jane?
Jane Chrissty: I am doing great Mikaela, thank you for asking!
Mikaela Street: Big win for you last week wasn’t it? Definitely feels like that first solidifying moment of your EAW career. How do you feel coming off that victory, and how do you plan to double down on it more in the future?
Jane Chrissty: I think that I can calmly say that now, the honeymoon phase is over with. I have been in EAW long enough now! I have had some good wins, and tough losses. But I have come out of those losses more maintained and furnished. I can stand my ground with talk on those losses, and that may sound crazy in a way. But let’s be honest here. The ground up is built off losses and learning from your mistakes, and I have made it my end goal to not be completely overwhelmed with defeat. But use it as a platform for a grander improvement.
(Jane Chrissty said with a smile, whatever this honeymoon phase she is speaking of, is.)
Mikaela Street: What exactly is this honeymoon phase you speak on?
Jane Chrissty: I have been in EAW for a while now. I have gotten past that awkward stage of being “new”. This isn’t that same typical cycle as per usual, this is new ground to stand in. I have a lot of time to spend now. After that victory last week on Showdown, I feel very vindicated. You know when you need just that one win to set you on the right path? That was what I garnered here. I think ahead of me right now is a path of optimism as we go forth. Only thing being — Yes, it can get a little tough here on out. But I have awaited my moment and haven’t jumped the barrier at anything. But now it is time for me to start playing my cards right, it is time for me to start making bigger waves in EAW. I have been respectful, and I am always going to ask politely. But I am not going to allow my career to be engulfed into nothing, because I was deeply afraid to step up and stand out.
(Jane was alluding to big things, sitting there and nodding her head. Mikaela was intrigued.)
Mikaela Street: You said you were “out of the honeymoon phase”, what exactly do you mean within that statement?
Jane Chrissty: I am now out of the honeymoon phase in my career, you know that awkward period in your career, when you’re new, you don’t have a lot of experience under your belt? I have garnered credible wins and losses that really set themselves inside my mind, and allowed me to construct a thicker reality. So stay tuned, because I can promise you the process of Jane Chrissty’s ride is one that you will want to invest in. And I don’t want to just give you false courage, because I am more determined and motivated than ever. If you have any concerns, simply shrug them off. The last thing I will do right now is let someone down here in EAW. I have a lot of stakes riding high, it’s time for me to get everything together.
(Jane smiled as she looked at Mikaela nodding her head.)
Mikaela Street: Well there you have it, Jane Chrissty is looking to make big time statements!
Jane Chrissty: Emphasis on big time statements.
(Jane Chrissty would walk away now, that smile plastered on her face. Mikaela Street stood there still however.)
Mikaela Street: Well, that was Jane Chrissty everyone, I am Mikaela Street signing of-
(BANG!)
(The sound of a loud bang garnered the attention of Mikaela Street, she went wide eyed as she detoured her focus to the direction Jane had gone in.)
Jane Chrissty: Agh…
(Jane Chrissty was laying there groaning in pain, her forehead was cut open, and she was dripping blood. She laid there holding her stomach, she had barely gotten away from Mikaela Street before she had been assaulted! And the culprit standing right before her was none other than–)
Nikki Kimura: Oh Jane, it isn’t that easy.
(Nikki Kimura was the one dawning this vicious attack on Jane Chrissty! AS SHE SLAMMED HER INTO THE WALL! Jane was feeling the effects detrimentally as with all her force, Nikki Kimura slammed her back first into a wall! Her breathing was getting heavy and you could tell she was in immense pain– BEFORE NIKKI KIMURA SLAMMED HER INTO THE WALL AGAIN!)
Jane Chrissty: Aghh..ow…
(Jane Chrissty expressed immense discomfort as she was being tossed around by Nikki Kimura, but Nikki Kimura wasn’t really showing much sympathy, AS SHE NAILED JANE BACK FIRST INTO THE WALL AGAIN! And by then she started taking notice that the poor girl had enough. She let Jane Chrissty drop to the ground, and that she did. She fell to the ground groaning in pain, Nikki Kimura doing this vicious attack on her, it was surprising but you can definitely tell Nikki was frustrated. Nikki soon took the presence of Mikaela as she walked over towards her..)
Mikaela Street: Nikki, what is the reasoning for all th-
(Before a word could be mustered by Mikaela Street, Nikki would quiet her, Mikaela stopped speaking as Nikki chimed in.)
Nikki Kimura: That’s a start.
(Without another word said, that being the only one, Nikki Kimura walked off the view of the screen! What a disgusting and disturbing message, left by Nikki Kimura as she made an absolute example of Jane Chrissty. The shocked face of Mikaela Street is where the camera would end on, as Showdown would tread elsewhere to ringside.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SET FOR ONE-FALL! THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH WILL BE ADDED TO THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH AT GRAND RAMPAGE!
(‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears begins to play as a chorus of boos attempt to drown it out. Madison Kaline walks out on to the stage looking deadly serious.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA…WEIGHING IN AT 120 POUNDS…SHE IS ‘THE MISTRESS OF DEATH’…MADISON KALINE!
(Madison gets down to the ring and just scowls at the crowd. She gets inside the ring and immediately shoots a glare in the direction of the stage. ‘Toxic’ is soon replaced by ‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole as Candice Blair makes her way onto the stage. The crowd has a much warmer response to The Disney Princess, almost instantly changing to cheers which she fully embraces.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT…FROM ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN AT 130 POUNDS…SHE IS ‘THE FACE OF DISNEY’…CANDICE BLAIR!
(Candice fully embraces her fans until she gets halfway down the ramp. As her gaze meets Madisons she becomes all business. She enters the ring and the two immediately get in each other’s faces. The ref separates the two, ensuring they both go to their corners before calling for the bell.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Deadprez: That’s the bell folks, this one is kicking off! And it seems Madison Kaline and Candice Blair are going to meet one another in the center of the ring! We’re seeing the collar-and-elbow tie-up here! Both women are trying to overpower one another and you can tell just how personal this is! It seems like Candice Blair though is getting the better of her opponent, forcing her backwards…so Madison just boots her in the stomach! She wasn’t taking any chances there! She then sends her opponent into the ropes…SHE LOOKS FOR THE EARLY AFTERLIFE but Candice ducks right under it!
Gavin Kirkland: She continues towards the ropes, using the momentum to build up some speed! She looks for a running dropkick on Madison, but she’s able to sidestep it! The moment Blair hits the ground, Madison stomps down on her back! Vicious and effective! She does more for good measure, before getting her opponent back to her feet for some additional punishment! Madison lets her meet the mat yet again with a suplex! It looks like she’s applying a headlock now, looking to add some humiliation!
Eve: Candice Blair is a tough competitor and we’re seeing that here! She manages to lift herself back to her feet even with the headlock applied! SHE LIFTS UP MADISON FOR THE BACK SUPLEX! Kaline releases the hold and shoves herself away from her opponent! Clearly she didn’t like the idea of being dropped on the back of her head! Madison comes right back at Blair, looking for a dropkick of her own! This time it’s Blair who averts the maneuver with a smooth dodge! Madison tries to stand but before she can BLAIR GETS HER WITH A KICK STRAIGHT TO THE CHEST!
Deadprez: Oh, I felt that from here! I know Madison definitely felt that! And I think she’s about to feel a little more as Candice lifts her up! She gets her up and grabs her from behind…REVERSE SUPLEX! What a move, putting Madison down right onto her torso! She could look for the early cover but instead focuses on making Madison suffer! She seizes control of her arm, the one she uses for that lethal Afterlife clothesline! She grabs her wrist and then flips Madison onto her stomach, wrenching the arm around her back! This is painful to watch, I can’t imagine how it must feel to be her right now!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison manages to twist and turn her body towards the ropes, able to put her foot on the bottom one! Candice releases the hold, and the referee makes her give Madison some breathing room! As Madison gets back to her feet, she is clutching her arm, evidence of the damage done! Blair thinks she’s had long enough to recover and looks to carry on the offense! MADISON SLAPS HER RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! It catches Candice off guard and sends her stumbling back a few feet…RUNNING HURRICANRANA FROM KALINE! Madison took advantage of the opening and sent her opponent into the corner!
Eve: She tries to get her bearing, but Madison drives her shoulder straight into the gut of Candice Blair! She runs that back a few more times, almost if she’s trying to break her opponents’ ribs! I wouldn’t put it past her, especially given their history! She finally stops the rapid strikes and allows Candice out of the corner! Madison Kaline now climbs onto the middle rope and lines up her shot! CROSSBODY FROM ON HIGH! SHE CRASHES DOWN RIGHT ON TOP OF BLAIR! COVER!
ONE!
TW-
Deadprez: We have an early kick-out from The Disney Princess! Madison is not happy about that as displayed by those daggers, she’s shooting at the ref! It looks like she’s able to keep her cool though, remembering what is on the line tonight! She heads over to the ropes…SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE LIONSAULT! Blair manages to roll out of the way! She springs back to her feet, clearly still full of fight! As Madison attempts to stand up after the impact, she takes a hook kick straight to the dome!
Gavin Kirkland: And now she reapplies the wristlock, this time keeping Madison up on her feet! She is just twisting that arm without remorse! You can see Madison try to reach out for the ropes, but Blair isn’t letting her go anywhere! She suddenly pulls her…AND THROWS HER WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! That a perfectly executed maneuver and it lands her opponent almost across the ring! Madison crawls into the corner, using the pads to pull herself back up! Unfortunately for her Princess Candice is more than happy to meet her there!
Eve: She uses some of that Disney™ magic to chop Kaline right across the chest! That had some big bite to it! She looks for another…and another…AND ANOTHER! We’re seeing those machine-gun chops as Blair looks for some repeat offense of her own! She pulls back looking to end things with a massive chop, but Madison ducks under and escapes the corner! She stumbles towards the center of the ring, but Candice isn’t done with her yet! She grabs her, but Madison gets her with a boot straight to the gut! AND THEN A SUPLEX!
Deadprez: She doesn’t waste a moment, bringing Blair back to her feet! Wait a second here, MADISON IS LOOKING FOR THE M.O.D.! BUT CANDICE GRABS THE LEG AND FLIPS HER ONTO HER FACE! Madison is able to put her hands out and protect her face! She gets to her knees…AND TAKES A SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE JAW! Princess Candice drops her with a perfect headshot! She looks for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison Kaline is about to kick out! It’s still early on in that match, but that one had me worried! It doesn’t seem to worry Blair too much as she calmly gets back up! She grabs the arm of her opponent once more, dragging Madison over towards the ropes! BLAIR IS LOOKING FOR THE COLORS OF THE WIND! The Tornado DDT is stopped as Madison is able to resist getting her head spiked straight into the mat! Madison instead lifts her back up and drops her straight onto the ropes! Her ribs might be broken after that!
Eve: She already took some offense to that exact area earlier! A shark’s smile spreads across the face of Madison Kaline…I think she’s smelling the blood in the water! She stomps down once again on the ribs of Blair! And again! And now look at her, she’s pressing her heel down with her all her weight! This has quickly gone from tactical to downright cruel! Look at this, Madison has exited the ring and she’s pulling Blair out there with her! I think things are about to get worse for her opponent…much worse!
Deadprez: It would certainly seem that way Eve! Madison brings her over to the ringside barricade and goes to lift her up! SHE’S GOING TO DROP HER RIB-FIRST! BUT NO! Blair starts to fight back, bringing her elbow down on the collarbone of Kaline! She creates some distance between her and her opponent…AND THEN UNLEASHES ALMOST THERE! The Discus clothesline fails to find its target as Madison ducks under it! She then lifts up Blair…AND DROPS HER RIGHT ON THE BARRICADE! This is absolute savagery on the part of Kaline! This right here is how you earn a moniker like ‘The Mistress of Death’! She throws her opponent back to the inside now!
Gavin Kirkland: Instead of going for the cover, Madison presses her boot right back down into the ribs of her opponent! She’s now taunting Candice Blair, just relishing in her suffering! She picks up her opponent, attempting to get her up for a suplex! Blair is refusing to be lifted, somehow still able to fight back even with all the punishment she’s endured! SHE GOES FOR A SUPLEX OF HER OWN! Madison frees herself before she can be dropped! SHE BOOTS KALINE STRAIGHT IN THE STOMACH! AND NOW SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE M.O.D. ONCE AGAIN! IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END?
Eve: NOT YET IT SEEMS! Madison went for a running start on that famouser, but Blair was able to lift her up for a quick powerbomb! She rolls Madison back to a vertical basis and then grabs her from the side! SAITO SUPLEX! MADISON’S HEAD AND NECK COLLIDE WITH THE MAT! She desperately crawls after her for the cover, but Madison rolls to the apron! Those are the veteran instincts of Madison Kaline kicking in…pure survival! Candice reaches out to grab a handful of Madison’s hair…BUT MADISON GRABS HER AND DROPS DOWN! Blair bounces off the ropes! Madison now makes her way to the top rope! MADDIE BOMB! SHE LANDS ON CANDICE! COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
T-
Deadprez: Blair kicks out! And just like that the calm demeanor that Madison has been struggling to maintain has crumbled! Kaline gets in the face of the referee and starts letting him have it! She’s got a finger in his face, informing him everso in politely that she got a three count! He isn’t willing to take that from her, telling her to back off or risk being disqualified from the match! She relents and puts her focus back on Blair! She grabs her by the hair and drags her back to her feet! MADISON LOOKS FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT CANDICE BLAIR IS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH AN ARMDRAG! She takes Madison by surprise and before she can react, nails her with a dropkick!
Eve: That got Madison right in the chest! She tries to make another escape to the apron after that, not wanting to give her opponent anything to capitalize on! But Blair grabs her by the ankle before she can escape! Candice pulls her back towards her…DRAGON SUPLEX! But she isn’t done there, not releasing her opponent after the initial impact! She keeps hold and stands back up…AND THEN SHE TOSSES MADISON WITH THE HALF-AND-HALF SUPLEX! A spectacular combination from The Face of Disney! And it seems like it did it’s job! Madison Kaline barely seems to be move after being dropped on her noggin’ like that! Blair should go for the cover right now!
Gavin Kirkland: She should, but she doesn’t! Sometimes you don’t get tired Eve, you get even! And that’s exactly what Blair intends to do right now! She grabs the arm of her opponent and pins it to the mat! Madison is face down on the ground, nowhere to go as Candice raises her boot! CRUNCH! SHE STOMPS RIGHT DOWN ON HER ELBOW! She might have just broken the arm of Madison Kaline! Madison is roaring in pain but it’s cut short as Blair kicks her right across the chest! She brings her back up and then rushes to the ropes, using them to build up some speed! CANDICE BLAIR WITH RAGS TO RICHES!
Deadprez: She gets the wheelbarrow in, but Madison catches her there! SHE THEN DROPS HER STRAIGHT DOWN ONTO HER KNEES! Again, the targeted attack on the ribs has to be extremely painful for Candice! Madison now heads over to the ropes herself, looking for another LIONSAULT! CANDICE BLAIR GETS HER KNEES UP! That is a little bit of payback right there! Blair rises once more and takes a few confident struts away from her opponent! That’s one front flip! That’s two front flips! AND THERE’S THE BASEMENT DROPKICK! BIBBIDI-BOBBIDI-BOO! SHE GETS HER IN THE FACE! COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-
Eve: Madison Kaline is still in this! Candice Blair can’t believe it! It seems like her frustration has been dialed up several levels now! It might be at the same level of Madison Kaline was earlier! Blair now grabs her by the hair and pulls her to her feet! SHE SLAPS MADISON! These two just absolutely hate one another! MADISON SLAPS HER BACK! AND THE TWO ARE JUST EXCHANGING SLAPS, EACH ONE HITTING HARDER THAN THE LAST! Finally, Candice switches things up and rocks Madison with a forearm! Madison replies with one of her own! And then go back at each other! There is no love lost between these elitist! None at all! CANDICE WITH THE HEADBUTT! SHE GETS MADISON RIGHT ON THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison stumbles back into the ropes and then stumbles towards Blair! BLAIR LOOKS FOR THE SPINNING WHEEL! SHE FINDS NOTHING BUT AIR AS MADISON AVOIDS IT! Before Blair can think, Madison gets her in the side of the head with a dropkick! She gets right back up and tries to send her into the ropes with an irish whip! Blair counters, twisting Kaline’s arm around her back! Madison elbows her in the face, sending Candice Blair stumbling back…SHE KNOCKS INTO THE REF! He trips and goes down! Madison sees this and immediately takes advantage! SHE PUNTS PRINCESS CANDICE RIGHT IN HER ROYAL PARTS! That is genius! If the ref doesn’t see it, then it’s perfectly legal! SHE SETS IT UP…MADISON FINALLY HITS THE M.O.D.! She goes for the cover!
Deadprez: Wait a second here Gavin, the ref ain’t here to count this! Genius move? Maybe not! Madison realizes that there isn’t a count coming anything time soon, so she gets up and goes over to the ref! She picks him back up and again just starts screaming at him! She finally turns around to face her opponent, but she never should have taken her eyes off of her! Candice Blair kicks her leg out from under her! She gets back to her feet…SHE PUTS MADISON IN POSITION FOR THE DISNEYLAND DESTROYER! MADISON SHOVES HER AWAY AND HEADS TO THE CORNER! CANDICE GETS HER WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! She now places Madison on the top rope, grabbing her arms! MS. BLAIR’S WILD RIDE!
Eve: NO! Madison kicks in the back of the head, saving herself from what would have been the end! MADISON GOES OFF THE TOP WITH A HURRICANRANA! BUT NOW CANDICE CATCHES HER! CANDICE BLAIR LIFTS MADISON UP FOR THE POWERBOMB! Madison starts punching down, trying to prevent Candice from finishing this maneuver! SHE SETTLES ON RAKING THE EYES! Candice drops her down so Madison gets her with a belly-to-belly suplex! She then goes over to the top rope and makes her climb! SHE COMES CRASHING DOWN ON HER OPPONENT WITH A SWANTON BOMB! CANDICE BLAIR ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!
Gavin Kirkland: These two have reached a statement, picking up the pace here in this final stretch! Candice Blair goes back to her original plan, grabbing the arm of Madison and driving her into the mat! She is pulling at the wrist, pulling back the fingers as hard as she can! Madison reaches out for the ropes, but Blair wisely positions her away! She wants to ensure that this one ends! Madison is in severe pain, and she might have no choice but to tap out! WAIT! SHE FLIPS ON HER BACK AND GRABS THE HAIR OF BLAIR! She yanks on it as hard as she can, forcing Candice to let go! Both competitors get back to their, but Madison still is holding onto the hair of Candice! SO, CANDICE GRABS ONTO HERS! She pulls her in for a headbutt! TWO HEADBUTTS! AND NOW SHE GETS HER WITH THE ALMOST THERE! THE DISCUS CLOTHESLINE NEARLY DECAPITATES MADISON!
Deadprez: Candice Blair is indeed almost there! She grabs Madison and gets her in position for that Disneyland Destroyer! If this hits, then this one is over! SHE GOES FOR IT…AND SHE GETS IT! DISNEYLAND DESTROYER! BUT WAIT…MADISON FALLS STRAIGHT TO THE OUTSIDE! It wasn’t an escape; she just collapses between the ropes! She is now sitting there on the outside, completely unconscious! Candice is in shock; she looks like she might even cry! But she buries that deep down inside because she knows that she needs to put this one away! She goes outside and tries to pick Madison up! She’s struggling to get the dead weight of her opponent back inside! But no, Madison collapses to the ground…yet Blair keeps trying to get back inside the ring!
Eve: She finally manages to get her back in, but takes a boot in the face before she can re-enter the fray! Madison goes back to the outside! AFTERLIFE! SHE GETS CANDICE BLAIR WITH THE CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! Madison collapses still, completely exhausted from this match! You can see she’s on the outside clutching her arm, still in pain from everything that’s happened during this match! She finally gets back to her feet and tries to throw Candice Blair back inside the ring, but now she can’t! You can see the frustration in both of these competitors as they’ve reached this stalemate! The referee is now calling for the count on the outside!
ONE!
TWO!
Gavin Kirkland: If these ladies don’t get back inside the ring soon, then neither of them are going to get the win! They race for the ring, but Madison grabs the waist band of Blair! She pulls her back towards herself and lets another slap fly! Candice fires back! And these two are just brawling, throwing away any care about the count!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Eve: Again, Madison tries to focus up and starts heading towards the ring! Now it’s Candice who grabs her from behind and drives her straight into the barricade! She tries to walk away, but Madison grabs her and smashes her headfirst into that same barricade! They operating purely out of spite, but both of them are running on empty!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
NINE!
(Candice Blair and Madison Kaline are both exhausted on the outside, barely able to move as the ref warns them that they have a single second to come back in. They stare at each other and just continue their brawl.)
TEN!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: BOTH COMPETITORS HAVE BEEN COUNTED OUT…MEANING THIS IS A DRAW!
Gavin Kirkland: A draw? What? Does this mean neither Madison or Candice is going to Grand Rampage? It seems like they don’t care, or this just pissed them both off even more! They go right back to fighting!
???: STOP THIS…RIGHT NOW! Get some officials out there.
(Candice Blair and Madison Kaline pause in their tracks recognizing the voice. Multiple referee’s come out of the back to separate the two, holding them back from further chaos.)
Deadprez: Uh-oh, here comes the boss!
Alana Starr: You know what? Since neither of you won, I shouldn’t add either of you to the National Elite Championship match. But you know what? I’m going to add BOTH OF YOU. Which means at Grand Rampage Veena Adams will defend the National Elite Championship against Daniella Atlas, Madison Kaline AND Candice Blair!
(The two elitists smile after hearing that. But they immediately start staring each other down once again, their hatred for another taking control.)
Eve: Wow, I can’t believe it! A fatal-four-way match at Grand Rampage? I mean, there’s no doubt that Candice and Madison want another chance to destroy one another…but will it get in the way of their pursuit of the gold? I guess we’ll find out!
(The chaotic scene cuts to the backstage area.)
(The camera shifts backstage as Mikaela Street is with a mic in hand, she is in front of the British Invasion locker room.)
Mikaela Street: What an incredible Super Showdown we have for you live from Chicago, even after the craziness I was involved in earlier! Anyway, I am in front of the locker room with none other than The British Invasion and both members will be in action in the next two days. Pandora Paisley in the Main Event in a Chicago Street Fight against ARIA, and Halsey Neel will be facing Alex Myers on Voltage tomorrow night. I want to get a word with the British Invasion…..
(Mikaela knocks on the door, it slowly opens, and Daryl Kinkade is standing right in front of her. He crosses his arms and tilts his head.)
Daryl Kinkade: What do you want Miks?
Mikaela Street: Hi, Daryl. Glad you answered the door, I was wondering if I could get a word with you and with The British Invasion on their upcoming matches tonight and on Voltage tomorrow night. I also wanted to get your thoughts on what happened last week with…..
(Daryl quickly cuts her off.)
Daryl Kinkade: So, this is where we are going with this, huh? Alright, first off, a lot of people like to create their own narratives, including ARIA. That I was done, she was about to win, all that bollocks, right? Let me explain something to you Mikaela and the only reason that I am even giving you the time of day is because you’re from London and your family is respected back in England, you Street’s are basically royalty, and because of that, you will get my time. But don’t come to me with stupid questions, you will get stupid answers.
Mikaela Street: Right… my apologies. Could you please give me your take on your match last week with ARIA, and what exactly is this with Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel?
Daryl Kinkade: What is this? Unity, love. Mikaela, you’re not stupid, your sister trained Pandora and made her the wrestler she is today, your cousin is the General Manager of Showdown and every single Street that ever wrestled won multiple World Championships, that much is fact. But what did they all have in common? Unity. Don’t you get it? Pandora and Halsey are very smart women that were carrying the flag of Devolution, that is not what we have here.
Mikaela Street: Then… what is this?
Daryl Kinkade: A union. Plain and simple, three superb British wrestlers that are sick and tired of these yanks running around here thinking they are better than us. Devolution lost it’s sights, the whole reason why it was created, you can blame Jon Kelton for that. These two are not lost though, they were wandering waiting for the right opportunity to strike for those Unified Tag Team Championships, much like I am doing until I get my hands on singles gold. I will be a World Champion, but if you are digging, it’s simple Mikaela, we are three Elitists that want it all. This isn’t the “New” Devolution, this isn’t the “Next” stable on Showdown, it is a union, we came together for one reason. Success.
Mikaela Street: Fair enough, now as it comes to last week, and even Jon Kelton….
(Daryl cracks a smirk, just as Halsey Neel appears behind him.)
Daryl Kinkade: Last week? First off, ARIA got off lucky, we all know this, but tonight she is in a Chicago Street Fight against arguably the most violent and bloodthirsty cunt on this roster. Pandora is a Hellcat, she lives up to that name and ARIA is going to get hers tonight, she isn’t a problem. As for Jon though? Ever since Halsey and Pandora popped him in the plums, he has been on his little tour of what, revenge? Look at that fool, Mikaela, he has NO ONE. No friends, no allies, he pissed off every single friend he had.
(Daryl then points into the dressing room where Halsey stands, Pandora is sitting down in her wrestling gear taping up her fists.)
Daryl Kinkade: The ONLY friends he had are gone. The ONLY two that supported him are here now and want nothing to do with him. What, Delilah Rose? Much as she had potential, let’s be truthful here, love she couldn’t buy a win. Jon is a man without a purpose or a country, he can come up with whatever gimmicky names he wants, when it is all over, he is going to be right back where he started, but me? I’m going to be a World Champion.
Mikaela Street: Well, it looks like NICHOLISM is on a collision course with The British Invasion, and where does that leave Daryl Kinkade for the Grand Rampage?
Daryl Kinkade: You said it right there Mikaela, I WILL be in the Grand Rampage, and I am not only going to win that bloody thing, I will go to Pain For Pride and face whoever wins between Cy Henderson and Chef Viz. Do you hear that bruv? When Grand Rampage ends, it will be with the UNITED KINGDOM as it’s Unified Tag team Champions and your next Answers World Champion. Now, if you don’t mind, I want to make sure Pandora is ready for tonight.
(We can see Halsey pulling Daryl in and whispering something in his ear as he nods, then closes the door to have some final talks with Pandora ahead of her Chicago Street Fight tonight. Mikaela turns back around to the camera.)
Mikaela Street: Well, you heard it there from Daryl Kinkade, he says that they are United and why would anyone question that. A big night is still ahead of us and Daryl has entered himself into the Grand Rampage. It will be a ……
(Mikaela suddenly freezes and she stops looking at the Elitist right in front of her, the camera shifts as the crowd explodes in roars and cheers as it is none other than TLA who has just been traded to Showdown.)
Mikaela Street: OMG! TLA! You are here! I….
TLA: Easy chica, your homie is not here to talk tonight, I’m just here to watch.
(TLA walks past her as Mikaela turns back to the camera as it fades to the offices of Kennedy Street.)
(Kennedy is in her office, waiting patiently for someone who she has asked to come and see her. AJAX is there, and Kennedy is filing her nails, as a knock is heard at the door.)
Kennedy Street: Come in…
(The door opens, and Ashlynn Quinn walks in, a mask covering her face. Kennedy doesn’t say anything at first but offers her a seat by motioning with her hand. Once Ashlynn is seated, Kennedy continues to eye the mask, speaking as she does.)
Kennedy Street: There’s something different about you Honey, have you taken care of your roots, I did notice they could do with some work.
Ashlynn Quinn: I’m wearing a…
(Kennedy holds up a hand, stopping her in her tracks.)
Kennedy Street: Kennie knows you are wearing a mask, Honey; I was having a little joke. The question is why are you wearing a mask?
Ashlynn Quinn: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!
(Kennedy seems a little taken aback by the over-dramatic outburst, and quite surprisingly is a little speechless.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Did you not see what she did to me? And totally unprovoked, might I add. It was rude, it was uncalled for, and it was wrong. And now I must wear this monstrosity, so that people cannot she was she did to me. She destroyed my face, and now I will have to wear this for the rest of my life.
Kennedy Street: Hardly Honey.
Ashlynn Quinn: I’M SCARRED!!!
(Kennedy puffs out her cheeks and sighs, after all she knew that she had a flair for the over-dramatic right up there with the best of them, but this was something else.)
Kennedy Street: Ashlynn, she didn’t pour acid on your face, she gave you a little powder, nothing more.
Ashlynn Quinn: BECAUSE OF HER I’M UGLY!!!
Kennedy Street: No, you’re not… and this is all in your head.
(Kennedy felt like a counselor right now, but part of her was sympathetic. She saw a little bit of Ashlynn in her, and she felt compelled to help.)
Kennedy Street: Looks Ashlynn, I want you to listen to me, and I want you to listen to me carefully. This whole ‘thing’ you’re doing right now, isn’t going to help you in the long run. See, when I was wrestling, I used to be a little like you, believing that everyone was out to get me, but I surrounded myself with the right people. You can have all the talent in the world, and believe me, Kennie was talented, still is, but it wouldn’t have mattered if I didn’t have the right role models. If they hadn’t been there for me, I wouldn’t have won as many Championships as I did. You can be a success Ashlynn, I know you can, but not when you act like this.
(To her credit, Ashlynn is indeed taking it all in, but doesn’t quite understand what Kennedy is getting at.)
Ashlynn Quinn: What do you mean?
(Kennedy reaches into her desk draw, and pulls out a disc, passing it to Ashlynn who looks at it, more than a little confused.)
Ashlynn Quinn: What’s this?
Kennedy Street: I want you to take that disc home, and I want you to watch it. Every single minute. There is a fair few of my matches on there, and I want you to study them, and then get back to me next week with your thoughts.
Ashlynn Quinn: OK…
(Ashlynn is still a little confused but has faith that Kennedy knows what she is doing and nods her head.)
Kennedy Street: Good. Oh, and one more thing before you go. I don’t want to see that ridiculous mask anymore. It’s beneath you…OK?
Ashlynn Quinn: OK…
(Ashlynn is more than a little perplexed, but recognizing that the conversation is over, she gets to her feet and heads to the door. The moment she reaches, she runs into Auburn Ware who looks her up and down but then focusses purely on the mask, breaking out into laughter. Even after the pep talk, Ashlynn is horrified, and almost runs out the door and down the corridor. Auburn shakes her head, and walks over to Kennedy’s desk, just glancing at AJAX as she does.)
Auburn Ware: Can you believe her… talk about a crybaby.
Kennedy Street: We are working on that.
Auburn Ware: Well, good luck with that, you’re going to need it. You wanted to speak to me?
Kennedy Street: Yes honey, I did. See, Kennie is always on the lookout for the next big thing, and your recent work, and more importantly your match has been impressive.
Auburn Ware: Thank you for noticing. I want to make it big here.
Kennedy Street: That’s good honey, because I expect big things from you after Grand Rampage.
(Auburn looks at Kennedy, confused by that statement.)
Auburn Ware: Like what?
Kennedy Street: All in good time honey, you shall see.
(Auburn’s first reaction is one still of confusion, but that swiftly changes to one of excitement, as she realizes that this could be a massive opportunity for her.)
Auburn Ware: OK, I look forward to it. I can’t wait to see what you give me.
(Auburn then smiles at Kennedy, unable to hide her giddiness, before she leaves the same way she came in. Kennedy watches as she goes, shaking her head once she disappears and turning to AJAX.
Kennedy Street: AJAX honey, I hate her spunk.
(AJAX simply nods though he loves her charm amongst other things like King Kong with blonde white women, as Kennedy goes back to filing her nails, when TLA walks in, her eyes widen.)
Kennedy Street: I TOLD YOU TO STAY HOME AND RECOVER!
TLA: Nah, jefa. I’m here to talk.
Kennedy Street: Well please, come in papi chulo.
(TLA walks in and sits down in front of his new General Manager as the scene cuts away to ringside.)
(‘The Dark Horse Always Win’ by Blues Saraceno as white smoke pours out on the stage. Kirk Redwood emerges to a mix of boos and cheers as he comes with his right hand held up. He then takes a deep breath before making his way down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT….FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS…WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS….HE IS “THE UNKILLABLE”…..KIIIRRRIRKKKK REEEEDDDWOOOODDDDD!
(“shut the fuck up talking to me” By Zack Fox begins to play as Chef Viz makes his way out to the stage. He smiles at the crowd pointing at the title around his waist as he begins to walk towards the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT ….RESIDING IN ENGADINE, MICHIGAN…WEIGHING IN AT 270 POUNDS….HE IS “THE FOUNDER OF THE VISUAL PROPHET LEADERSHIP ACADEMY”…..THE REIGNING EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION….CHEFFFF VIZZZZ!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(They are interrupted by the roar of the crowd seeing Cy Henderson make his way down the ramp. He has his hands up in innocence as Chef Viz pretty much happily invites him to ringside to watch the match.)
Deadprez: It looks like Cy wants to get a closer look at this one, and I don’t think Chef Viz minds all that much even encouraging him.
Eve: And this match is on the way! You can just see the determination on Kirk’s face, happy to get another crack at the chef after taking him to his limit just a few months ago. Chef Viz and Kirk are slowly coming to the middle of the ring and it seems like Viz wants to collar and elbow up! The two of them are fighting for control as it seems like Viz proves to be the stronger Elitist going into this match, he looks to push Kirk back, BUT KIRK REVERSES BACK AND TRUES GOING FOR A GERMAN, BUT THEN IT’S VIZ WHO REVERSES SPINNING AROUND…AND DELIVERS A GERMAN OF HIS OWN! Kirk looks a little bit rattled early on as Viz feels all the momentum.
Chef Viz: (looking over at Cy) Just gettin warmed up baby.
Gavin Kirkland: LET VIZ COOK!
Eve: Can you not tonight?
Gavin Kirkland: :skip:
Deadprez: Chef Viz now turns his attention back over to Kirk and invites him to step up to him. It looks like that’s what he’s gonna do as he straightens himself up dusting himself up before launching himself towards our Answers World Champion! The two of them go into the collar and elbow tie up again as there seems to be a bit more fight this time as Kirk feels a bit overlooked and has something to prove. It seems like Viz might be winning this exchange again as Kirk breaks out of the hold, knowing that he isn’t going to be successful this time around before he runs towards Viz, who looks to connect with a clothesline, BUT KIRK DUCKS! HE RUNS TO THE HORIZONTAL ROPES AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF OF THEM —SPRINGBOARD CUTTER, BUT VIZ MANAGES TO CATCH KIRK FROM MID AIR! BUT, KIRK MANAGES TO GET HIS FEET DOWN! HE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW SHOT TO THE FACE OF CHEF VIZ!
Gavin Kirkland: Kirk creates a bit of distance with that elbow shot as he runs the ropes in front of him and rebounds off of them, but Chef Viz runs after Viz with a knee to his gut, stopping him in his tracks! Viz gets Kirk’s arm and whips him to the horizontal set of ropes across from him! Before Kirk can even think about using the momentum of that whip to his advantage, Viz connects with a powerful clothesline as he sends Kirk over the top rope – NO! HE MANAGES TO LAND ON THE APRON! VIZ LOOKS TO TAKE HIM OFF THE APRON WITH A FOREARM, BUT KIRK CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE RIBS OF THE HALL OF FAMER! VIZ HOLDS HIS STOMACH TEMPORARILY AS KIRK SEES A BIT OF FREE TIME FOR HIM TO JUMP ON THE TOP ROPE, SPRINGBOARDS HIMSELF TO CHEF VIZ! Kirk is looking like he’s going for an enziguri, but Viz uses the momentum to hold him onto one of his shoulders before raising him up high and connecting with a high uppercut and taking Kirk back!
Cy Henderson: :notbad:
Eve: Now Viz is looking to pick up Kirk who happens is struggling to stand at the moment thanks to that giant uppercut from Viz and Viz throws him into the corner but Kirk manages to make sure that it wasn’t his skull that collided with that turnbuckle putting a stop to that. Still Viz manages to connect with a stomp to the gut of Kirk before he proceeds to stomp on Kirk with all of the force he can muster up until Kirk collapses to a seated position! Now, look at this, Viz is taking a couple of steps back! VIZ’ SIGHT NEVER LEAVES KIRK AS HE CHARGES AT HIM AND HITS HIM WITH A CANNONBALL SENTON! I CAN’T IMAGINE ALL OF THAT WEIGHT ONTO THE STERNUM OF KIRK REDWOOD! VIZ GETS HIMSELF TO HIS FEET AS HE DRAGS KIRK BY HIS FOOT AND PULLS HIM AWAY FROM THAT CORNER! VIZ WITH THE FIRST PINFALL ATTEMPT OF THIS MATCH!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eve: Kirk kicks out at two and Viz doesn’t waste sny time in going back.on the attack here as Viz grabs him under the arms, hooking them in position for the suplex, but Kirk slips out of it before he throws multiple strikes into the ribs of Viz….THE SAITO SUPLEX! Once again, Kirk shows off his strength with a masterful move as Viz grabs the ropes and pulls himself back to his feet…Kirk is right on top of him as he delivers more strikes trying to do whatever it takes to wear down the powerhouse that is Chef Viz! The ref gets him away here as Chef tries to gather his thoughts BUT REDWOOD WITH THE STIFF ELBOW STRIKE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE! Chef Viz then out of desperation tries to go for a clothesline swinging at his head….
Deadprez: Kirk catches the arm and turns it into the cross armbreaker! He manages to roll Viz towards the center of the ring just out of reach of the ropes! There’s a look of pain on Viz’s face before he tries to fight his way out of this situation as he rolls onto his stomach grabbing his other hand and locking them together! HE LIFTS UP KIRK AND DROPS HIM RIGHT ON HIS HEAD FOR A POWERBOMB! Viz using that strength and showing why he’s the Answers World Champion. Chef gets back to his feet while Redwood manages to get back to his also while holding his head in some pain, and then Viz picks him up onto his shoulders in a fireman’s carry position, what does he have in mind here – KIRK SLIPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS FROM BEHIND AND HE LOOKS FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT CHEF VIZ AGAIN COUNTERS IT NOT LETTING IT HAPPEN GRABBING HIM.BY THE HEAD AND HITTING A SNAPMARE BEFORE KIRK RACES TO HIS FEET AND TURNS AROUND, BUT VIZ WAS WAITING FOR HIM AND HE TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Viz doesn’t stop there as he gets him up right away -AND CHEF VIZ PICKS HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDERS….AND CHEF VIZ DRILLS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH THE “PROPHET DRIVER!!!” AND THEN THE HOOK OF THE LEG FROM VIZ AS HE LOOKS OVER AT CY AT RINGSIDE!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: Kirk manages to survive and kick out of it! But it seems like Viz still has control of the waist as he rolls up Kirk up to his feet, Viz is standing behind Kirk as Viz positions ’s arm behind his neck! I think that Viz might be looking to go for a belly-to-back suplex! Viz takes him back but Kirk manages to land on his feet! Viz turns himself around as Kirk takes Viz back with a knee strike to the forehead! But Viz does not stay down for long as he finds his way back to his feet…Kirk rushes towards the champion jumping towards him – BUT VIZ MANAGES TO PICK UP KIRK AND TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A FLATLINER! VIZ SAW THAT THE MATCH WAS SLIPPING FROM HIS GRASP JUST A BIT AND NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO TURN THE MATCH BACK TO HIS FAVOR!
Eve: Chef Viz manages to get him up again before connecting with a palm strike to the chest of Kirk! Viz connects with another palm strike! This time it takes Kirk back but Viz goes for a third palm strike as that takes him to the ropes! Viz grabs him by the arm before looking to whip him to the set of ropes across from him, but Kirk counters the whip sending the Answers World Champion into the ropes….but Viz looks to go for a clothesline, but Kirk manages to slide underneath the feet of Viz! He gets behind Viz, double under hooking his arms – AND KIRK CONNECTS WITH A TIGER SUPLEX!! KIRK THEN HOLDS ON BRIDGING INTO THE PIN!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
Deadprez: Chef Viz manages to roll himself to his knees kicking out of it as he manages to get Kirk into an inverted DDT position before connecting with a HUGE fist to the chest of Kirk! VIZ CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER HUGE FIST TO KIRK! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! VIZ IS COMPLETELY BATTERING KIRK WITH THESE FISTS BEFORE NAILING ONE FINAL ONE CAUSING KIRK TO FALL TO THE MAT! KIRK IS HOLDING ONTO HIS CHEST AS VIZ GETS KIRK BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HE CONNECTS WITH A COUPLE OF KNEE STRIKES TO THE GUT OF KIRK BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP PICKING HIM UP FOR A SECOND ‘PROPHET DRIVER!’ – BUT KIRK MANAGES TO SLIDE OFF THE SHOULDERS OF VIZ AS VIZ TURNS AROUND AS KIRK GRABS HIM BY THE LEGS AND DROPS HIM DOWN ON HIS BACK, AND HE LOCKS IN THE “COLLINS LOCK!!!”
Gavin Kirkland: Our glorious Viz is trapped in the center of the ring with that figure four sharpshooter is applied on Viz! Viz is screaming in agony as Kirk applies as much pressure as he can with the “Colins Lock”!! Viz is trapped in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go but Viz though tries to use his strength advantage to drag himself over to the bottom rope to save himself.
(Chef Viz is eye to eye with Cy Henderson who has his arms crossed watching at ringside as Viz tries to crawl to the ropes.)
Eve: VIZ OUT OF PURE ADRENALINE USES HIS STRENGTH AND DRAGS HIMSELF OVER AND GRABS AHOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE FORCING THE BREAK! Maybe being eye to eye with Cy there gave him some extra motivation to get out of the submission. The referee forces Kirk to let go of the submission but Kirk wastes no time in trying to drag him by the foot back to the middle of the ring. Viz is trying to kick him away but Kirk isn’t letting it happen before Kirk tries to go for the figure four, but Viz kicks him from behind off him before rising back up and running at him in the corner….BUT KIRK SIDESTEPS SENDING VIZ SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST THROUGH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE, AND VIZ MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE HERE!
Deadprez: KIRK PULLS VIZ OUT OF THE CORNER AND GETS HIM IN POSITION….THE “BASTARDPLEX!!!” AND HERE’S THE COVER FROM KIRK!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: VIZ KICKS OUT AT TWO AND A HALF!! I thought Kirk had him there. Redwood gets right back to the offense, elbowing Viz in the head! He presses pause on the elbows and lines up for something different – BLITZKRIEG BOP!!! He looks for the knee to the back of the head but Viz rolls out of the way! He pushes himself back to his feet and hits a massive clothesline and nearly turns him inside our before Viz grabs him again… SPINEBUSTER! Viz is now back in control as he grabs a handful of hair from the before hoisting him up over his head! MILITARY PRESS! The entire front of Kirk’s body crashes onto the ground from on high! Chef Viz looks to be cooking here as he places his opponent in the corner…what does he have in mind here?
Eve: But wait…Cy Henderson just came over here to join us on commentary. How are you Cy?
Cy Henderson: Just swell, how are you guys tonight?
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t you think you’re a little late on joining commentary? :skip:
Cy Henderson: Nah, I came out here to simply get a close view and watch Chef Viz cook up close and it was getting boring just standing there so I figured a little company wouldn’t hurt.
Eve: Well, he’s delivering jabs and hooks in the corner on Kirk now. Redwood might have the speed advantage, but when Viz connects with his strikes it has double the power behind it! Kirk tries to duck out of the corner but Viz pins him in place with the corner clothesline! Kirk falls down into a seated position, the fight may have been beaten out of him! DROPKICK INTO THE SEATED KIRK! Chef Viz is now just brutalizing him at this point.
Deadprez: So what’s your thoughts on this match so far Cy?
Cy Henderson: A great back and forth. Viz is showing just exactly why he is a Hall of Famer and multi time World Champion, but Kirk being as scrappy as he is is showing showing that Viz isn’t unbeatable though and showing some cracks that I can take advantage of come Grand Rampage
(Terry Chambers slowly walks out as the crowd boos. This gets Kirk Redwood’s attention.)
Eve: Terry Chambers is out here after the confrontation he had with Kirk earlier! Kirk rolls away to the outside. Chef Viz has a smile on his face before he follows suit to the outside! He lifts Kirk up onto his shoulders and smiles out to the crowd! PROPHET DRIVER! THE DREAM VALLEY DRIVER ON THE FLOOR AS HE LOOKED AT CY!
Cy Henderson: Oh he was looking at me?
Deadprez: Viz smiles looking at Cy next to us as he rolls Kirk back inside the ring and slides in and makes the cover!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: KIRK STAYS ALIVE GETTING THE SHOULDER UP!! Viz now slowly picks him up by his head – BUT AN INSIDE CRADLE FROM KIRK OUT OF NOWHERE!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: Kirk runs to the other side of the ring, looking to garner some momentum! VIZ CATCHES HIM AND LOOKS FOR THE BELLY-TO-BELLY…BUT REDWOOD COUNTERS WITH AN ARM DRAG! He waits for him to get up to his feet…EXPLODER SUPLEX! And now Kirk kips up! He lets out a roar and the crowd is cheering him on! It looks like they actually have gotten behind Kirk! He heads to the corner of the ring and waits for his opponent! HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE PAROLE VIOLATION! SOMERSAULT INTO THE SP –
Deadprez: HE’S INTERCEPTED WITH A KNEE! Kirk is left dazed and confused as Viz seeks to take advantage…he lifts him up and brings him down with a MASSIVE SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! He doesn’t look for the cover, instead rolling back to his feet! He picks him up over his head…IKE TURNER SPECIAL…but Kirk ducks under it…RIGHT HOOK TO THE FACE! VIZ REPLIES WITH THE IKE TURNER SPECIAL! IT CONNECTS! The taste and maybe a tooth or two is knocked out of his mouth! Viz doesn’t let him fall to the ground, he catches his arm and pulls him back in! BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX….KIRK STILL HAS LIFE AS HE REVERSES IT INTO A BELLY TO BELLY OF HIS OWN PLANTING KIRK!
Gavin Kirkland: Our Chef might be in trouble….KIRK LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE HERE AS HE RUNS AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE….HE GOES FOR THE “.50 CAL” SPRINGBOARD SUPERMAN PUNCH – BUT CHEF VIZ CATCHES HIM WITH A “KISS TO THE HEAD” IN MID AIR!!!! THE BULL HAMMER ELBOW STRIKE TO KIRK AS VIZ FLIPS HIM ON HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(“Shut the fuck up talking to me” By Zack Fox begins to play. The crowd cheers as Viz slowly rises back to his feet and is handed his Answers World Championship. Terry Chambers smiles and walks to the back.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…CHEFFF VIZZZZ!
Eve: Chef Viz with the win! It was a hard fought match and Viz showed why he is the champion and he got the job done – Wait a second.
(Viz slides out of the ring and walks up to the announce desk as Cy Henderson takes off his headset and stands up, coming face to face with his Grand Rampage opponent Chef Viz.)
Deadprez: Man what a clash this is gonna be – WHOA!! CHEF VIZ JUST DRILLED CY WITH A “KISS TO THE HEAD!!!” That literally came out of nowhere.
(Viz walks away from ringside and walks backwards up the ramp just shrugging his shoulders with a grin on his face as the camera fades to a commercial break.)
(As we come back from commercial break, “KARATE” by Babymetal blared through the speakers as KASAI’s presence was heard in the arena. However – KASAI still hasn’t entered through the entrance ramp. It was a brief moment of waiting for KASAI to appear, but it just continued to not happen. Until all of a sudden, KASAI was seen hopping the barricade. Coming out through the crowd? She had a microphone at hand.)
KASAI: It seems as if Bea Valentine likes to consider herself unpredictable. Luckily for her, I am also unpredictable.
(KASAI rolled into the ring – but then she rolled back out. She would then walk up the steps – Only to enter the ring from the top turnbuckle. But then she stopped, she sat on the top turnbuckle.)
KASAI: Is that unpredictable enough for you? Never let them know your next move. Let’s relay what happened on Voltage, I came close to beating Harper Lee, but that sweet little Bea Valentine had to make her presence known. I think it’s obvious, I want Gloria, darling. I want to rip her from the crying hands of Bea Valentine. Because I have waited so long for this. Bea Valentine has had my number every single time we have ever met in this ring, but she won’t have my number this time around, because it is…. unpredictable. Bea Valentine, you have no idea what you have gotten yourself into, because ode to joy, this is act three of your championship reign. And after suffering through the first two acts, the remarkable ending will occur. You have no idea the door that you are knocking down, and you have no idea what you have gotten yourself into, Bea Valentine.
(KASAI wasted no time tossing multiple threats towards Bea Valentine, she was really hammering it home. KASAI was just about to speak again, BUT.. she would be cut off by “Gloria” by Laura Braigan hitting the speakers. Bea Valentine came out with “Gloria” in her arms.)
Bea Valentine: LISTEN HERE KASAI, I think it needs to be stated darling, you are not unpredictable, you looked like an entire schlemiel entering the ring, do you wanna see how a real champion enters the ring?
(Bea Valentine would just roll into the ring as she came up, looking at KASAI.)
KASAI: What? You entered the ring like a normal human being?
Bea Valentine: Yes. But I did it, AS A CHAMPION! You wouldn’t get that.
KASAI: You have 10 seconds to state why you are here, or I’m going to rip both of your ears off your head.
Bea Valentine: Well–
KASAI: 10….9….8…..
Bea Valentine: OKAY. Last week, we saw what happened. Harper Lee, yadda yadda, you, yadda yadda, everything happened yeah. I am glad that you challenged me, but I hope that it is a learning lesson. I am one of the greatest champions to ever be the mother of Gloria. And you? You are just, Kasai dear. I am telling you this, so you can really think about it. Do you really think you can defeat me after failing so many times, dear?
KASAI: Well.. you know the way you put it Bea, you have beaten me twice now. You have shown you are one of the fastest rising in EAW, you have shown that you’ve been one heck of a champion. You have shown why people are believing in you, and you proved it wasn’t a fluke. And yeah? What have I done exactly?
Bea Valentine: EXACTLY! I am glad that you agree with me, KASAI, I am glad that you see the issue here!
KASAI: You are definitely right Bea Valentine. I am happy to have learnt my lesson from you.
Bea Valentine: No problem, dear..I am happy to help always. I feel as it is important to use what I have learned in EAW as a platform, Gloria and I are at our pinnacle, with so many factoids to back us up–
(KASAI SUDDENLY SPIT MIST IN THE FACE OF BEA VALENTINE!! Yeah, KASAI had to play a dumb game with Bea Valentine. But it isn’t hard when Bea Valentine is the most glaring idiot in EAW. She cried out in agonizing pain as the mist went into her eyes.)
Bea Valentine: AGHHH GOD, NOO!! I CAN’T SEE! MOM! DAD! GLORIA! HELP! AGHHHHHHH I AM DYING!!! NEAUXXXXXX 💔💔💔😭😭
(Bea Valentine was in a full on mental crisis, before Kasai– WOULD JUST NAIL HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE GROUND! Bea Valentine would fall to the ground and clutch onto Gloria.)
Bea Valentine: AGH! GLORIA! DON’T LET HER GET YOU!!!
(KASAI was just about to do something else, but then, Cornelius came to the aid of Bea Valentine! KASAI watched as Cornelius ran over to Bea, grabbing her feet.)
Bea Valentine: AHHHHHHHH CORNELIUS IS THAT YOU!?
(Cornelius was pulling at Bea’s feet as KASAI was trying to take Gloria out of Bea’s hands. Bea was in the midst of a crisis, she couldn’t see a damn thing. And was just being pulled.)
Cornelius: Madame Bea, let go of Gloria before she rips your head off!
Bea Valentine: NOOOOOOOOOO!! I CAN’T LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE GLORIA 💔💔
(KASAI suddenly wrestled Gloria away from Bea, as Bea was yanked out of the ring by Cornelius, Cornelius was now carrying Bea Valentine as she was just trying to wipe her eyes out.)
KASAI: Hm….
(KASAI hopped out of the ring with Gloria in hand, yet another person was going to take Gloria from Bea Valentine!)
KASAI: Nope.
(KASAI slid Gloria back into the ring, as she started manically laughing, Cornelius watched on, carrying Bea Valentine who was still in impending pain.)
KASAI: I told you, I am unpredictable!
(KASAI made that final statement, before she would then go off and leave. The final shot of the segment is Cornelius watching on, as a suffering Bea Valentine is absolutely miserable. KASAI just upped the intensity and started playing some major mind games. With that being said from there, Showdown would then fade elsewhere.)
(Quickly faded into backstage where Kyra Phillips was standing in front of the camera with a calm smile on her face, once she was sure the camera was filming, she cleared her throat and then she spoke up.)
Kyra Phillips: Goodnight ladies and gentlemen! Hope all of you are doing well so far and all of you are enjoying the show! Right now, I am going to be joined with one of the most talented women in the roster, and one of the incredibly prestigious champions of the brand, as I assume all of you are looking forward to hear her thoughts after the surprising news that we heard earlier on the night, please welcome the National Elite Champion, Veena Adams!
(The crowd cheers in a positive manner as the camera pans over and Veena walks in front of the camera with an incredibly annoyed expression on her face, once again not happy about what has happened to her tonight.)
Kyra Phillips: Goodnight Veena! Hope you are enjoying-
Veena Adams: Just get to the questions, Kyra.
Kyra Phillips: Right away then! So after the result that we all saw with the match between Princess Candice Blair and Madison Kaline, it seems that you aren’t just going to defend the championship against one woman, nor two, but THREE of them in a fatal four way match? How do you feel about the result?
Veena Adams: Well, do you see that my face shows happiness in any way Kyra? Of course I am absolutely livid at having my match changed like this. I ended up setting out a challenge for the whole locker room to go at it in a straight one on one, but then all of the sudden Kennedy comes out of nowhere and then she states that the match the Princess and the Karen are going to have is going to be for an opportunity to get added to the title match I set out, why? In what kind of world do the two of them deserve to have an opportunity when they have failed tremendously for almost the whole season by now? And just because the two of them couldn’t actually finish a match in the normal way that is supposed to, they get a pat on the back and the two of them are able to get the chance to fight me? That is just downright bullshit, Kyra. You know why this ended up happening? It is all because of the incompetence that our General Manager has shown to us due to her poor decision making, ESPECIALLY Alana Starr who thinks she is bigger than what she really is just because she is “besties” with the person that is in charge.
Veena Adams: I thought for a moment I could somewhat put things in the past with her when I ended up talking to her about Kirk Redwood, but after all of that, it was clear she was still a big pain on my ass and on everybody else’s by continuing to make horrible decisions like this. Now look, it was clear from what happened all of those weeks ago that Daniella Atlas was sadly going to end up being the person I faced first, she seems like a total loser, that is what you expect from most of the people who show up but I wasn’t going to overly complain and cry about it, I was going to happily accept the match and then defend my championship like the champion that I am supposed to be, but then add those two women to the match like I haven’t beaten them already? I don’t know what is the obsession of giving Madison TV time around here but she doesn’t need it, you think she has gotten better since the last time we have faced? Nuh-uh! She is the first obstacle that Kennedy put in front of me to prevent me from going back to reclaim the National Elite Championship, and what a surprise? I destroyed her into pieces, and I am just going to end up doing it again. And as for Candice Blair? What else do you want me to say about that woman? You can always give benefit of the doubt to the people around, it took me most time than other people to achieve a championship this, , I am not ashamed of saying that, but that woman might as well be abusing the honesty and kindness of the people by continuing to take away the chances of other talented wrestlers and then what a surprise, failing like she always does. Did you all forget when I ethered that bitch at Pain for Pride a few years ago? Did you not remember when I faced her again when I was 10 times better? What is she going to do now?
Veena Adams: Anyway, once again the usual with the wrestlers around here, I am just going to end up defending the championship successfully just like any other time, let me focus now on my own thing, if you will excuse me-
???: Excusez-moi, indeed.
(Veena fully stopped on her tracks when she ended up hearing that voice and her expression got even more annoyed than before as she slowly turned and she saw Daniella walk in right next to her with a calm smile on her face.)
Daniella Atlas: Hello again.
Veena Adams: What do you want this time?
Daniella Atlas: Your championship, isn’t that obvious?
Veena Adams: Pfft, hilarious.
Daniella Atlas: But on a real note, I arrived once again curious about the way that you have talked about me, for such a championship of high caliber and a woman proclaiming herself to be one of the best around due to holding that championship, it feels like you should show a lot more responsibility when carrying that around, already trying to write me off as nothing more than a loser when theoretically comparing to every single New Breed around this brand, I have had the far much better start, me winning the Call Your Shot ladder match solidified that already, and even comparing to your start here in EAW, well, I think it says enough how much a gap there can be.
Veena Adams: Why are you even comparing your start with mine? When have I gotten a lot better than the way I was all those years ago?
Daniella Atlas: And it took you ages to get to the point you are at right now. Me? I just need to win the National Elite Championship in this match and I will be as good as solidified already.
Veena Adams: Prepare to get disappointed in so many ways because this right here? It is never going to touch your hands in any way possible.
Daniella Atlas: You know what you are doing right now? You are making one of the biggest mistakes you could ever do in your entire reign as champion, you can treat anybody else like you desire, someone like Madison, someone like Princess Candice, they had their time and they failed whenever they stepped up to their plate and the pressure crushed them. But for me? When the lights are the brightest, I shined brighter than them every single time, you don’t think it could happen again as soon as I got the opportunity to do it? Sure, I agree with you on something, I did want to face you one on one, but did you even think about the little problem that you have now with those two annoying pests being forced into the match? What you don’t get is that I don’t even need to pin you to become the National Elite Champion, and the way that the two of them have undelivered and performed for the past few years, it might just be as easy as stealing candy from a baby.
(Veena lets out a small laugh when hearing that from Daniella as she ends up brushing her off and continues talking.)
Veena Adams: And I can do the exact same, against one, two or three people, I end up winning, whatever you try to say towards me won’t convince me, right attitude, I can give you that, but you are just going to end up being a loser at the end of the way when I beat you, now please get out of my way, I have things to do.
(Veena grabbed onto her championship tightly and then she turned to leave the room-)
(BUT DANIELLA SUDDENLY GRABBED HER SHOULDER, SPUN HER AROUND AND THEN HIT HER RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE!)
(Veena falls to the ground and Kyra steps away in shock as Veena grabs onto her jaw from the punch that was thrown, with Daniella towering over her and responding.)
Daniella Atlas: That was just a warning shot. Prends soin de toi.
(Daniella turned her back on Veena as well and then walked away while Veena sat there confused and pissed off.)
Veena Adams: What the fuck did she even call me?
(Veena shook her head and went to get up to her feet after that punch and Showdown faded away to commercials.)
(The camera shot returns to the ringside area as “STFU!” by Rina Sawayama as Miku Sakai enters the arena to boos from the crowd before she heads down the entrance ramp.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the special guest commentator for the forthcoming contest… MIKU SAKAI!
Deadprez: Here comes Miku Sakai down the ramp as she is going to be joining us for commentary.
Eve: After the last few weeks, it’s not really a surprise because she does have a little bit of interest in this match.
(Miku reaches the commentary table and she takes a seat at the end of the commentary table and puts the headset on.)
Gavin Kirkland: The beautiful Miku Sakai is here. Thank you for joining us.
Miku Sakai: Piss off, you perverted old simp.
Eve: Well with that, let’s send it to the ring with Gina Romano.
(The camera now cuts to the ring where Gina Romano is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: This next contest has a TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(All of the lights in the arena dim with the lone exception being a white spotlight that illuminates the stage as ‘In The Air Tonight (Cover)’ by The Protomen starts to play. Scott Diamond steps onto the stage and makes his way to the ring slowly as the spotlight follows him down.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his way to the ring. From Long Island, New York! Weighing 265 pounds. Here is “THE COLD-BLOODED KILLER” SCOTT DIAMOND!
Deadprez: Here comes Scott heading to the ring for singles action and he is looking to keep momentum going.
Miku Sakai: Overhyped ginger. No need for the damn spotlight and crap like that. Idiot.
Eve: Two weeks ago, Scott defeated Damien Kutcher in a match where Damien earned Scott’s respect. Will Scott make it two in a row tonight?
(Scott enters the ring and takes his corner as all the lights come back on in the arena. Seconds later, ‘Old Scars/Future Hearts’ by All Time Low starts playing as Raven Roberts enters the arena. Raven is ready for action as she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! Residing in Atlanta, Georgia. Weighing in at 122 pounds. Here is “THE BIRD OF PREY” RAVEN ROBERTS!!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh here comes the beautiful Raven Roberts heading to the ring for battle. What a sight to see.
Miku Sakai: Shut up! Nobody cares about this brunette bimbo. Except for Rex, but he’s stupider than her for letting her get her claws into him.
(Raven walks by the announce table and shoots a glare at Miku.)
Miku Sakai: Keep on walking, skank. Get in there and get your ass kicked again.
Deadprez: Raven is a talented competitor and we are about to witness two legendary stars battle it out. Who will win? We’re about to find out.
(Raven enters the ring and takes her corner as her entrance music fades off. Seconds later, the referee is checking both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Here we go with singles action on tap. Raven looks ready to lock up with Scott, BUT SCOTT JUST SHOVES HER DOWN TO THE MAT! I don’t think that’s gonna work for Raven in this match.
Miku Sakai: That’s because the bimbo’s an idiot. All the hair dye and the plastic surgery has really ruined her ability to think.
Deadprez: Refreshing commentary from Miku here, but I think that Raven realizes that she didn’t start the match on the right foot as she can’t match power with Scott in a head to head battle.
Gavin Kirkland: Raven is looking to go back to the drawing board as she looks like she wants to lock up with Scott once again.
Miku Sakai: I told you that the bimbo isn’t too bright. How she can function on a daily basis is beyond me. Stupid bitch.
Deadprez: I don’t know what Raven has planned but she goes to lock up with Scott again. Scott leans in to grab Raven, BUT RAVEN DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY AND ENDS UP BEHIND SCOTT!
Eve: NOW RAVEN IS UNLEASHING FOREARMS INTO SCOTT’S BACK! That is exactly what she needs to do in order to stand a chance in this match. She needs to use her speed against Scott at any point she can.
Miku Sakai: Good thing it’s a battle of bodies and not brains because these two morons would both lose.
Gavin Kirkland: Now Raven is throwing some martial arts style kicks to the back of Scott before he quickly turns around and grabs Raven by the waist AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Eve: GOOD GAWD! SCOTT JUST THREW RAVEN AROUND LIKE A RAGDOLL AND PLANTED HER TO THE MAT JUST LIKE THAT! Scott is not looking to play around in this match.
Deadprez: Raven is trying to recover as SCOTT GOES TO DROP AND ELBOW, BUT RAVEN MIRACULOUSLY GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND SCOTT ELBOWS THE MAT!
Miku Sakai: This is absolutely stupid. I think I know why I am here. They want me to be entertained. They want me to be amused because I don’t think I am here to take these two seriously as competition.
Gavin Kirkland: Scott is down and the beautiful Raven gets on Scott’s back AND JUST STARTS POUNDING SCOTT AND PUNCHING THE BACK OF HIS NECK! RAVEN GRABS HOLD OF SCOTT’S NECK AND IS NOW TRYING TO CHOKE SCOTT OUT!
Eve: Well that is certainly a way to neutralize Scott by choking him out. I give Raven a lot of credit for trying to do this early, but Scott still has way too much power at this point in the match.
Deadprez: LOOK AT SCOTT JUST GET BACK TO HIS FEET WITH EASE AND RAVEN IS STILL ON HIS BACK! RAVEN WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND SCOTT’S WAIST AS SCOTT BACKS INTO A CORNER AND SMASHES RAVEN IN THE TURNBUCKLES!
Miku Sakai: I thought this was going to be a waste of my time, but maybe it’s going to be a little tolerable seeing dumb skanks just getting the shit knocked out of them.
Gavin Kirkland: Raven is stuck in the corner as Scott lifts her up and sits her on the top turnbuckle. SCOTT COMES IN WITH A BIG BOOT AND JUST KNOCKS RAVEN OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS SHE CRASHES TO THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: Raven hit the edge of the ring on the way down and she is holding her back after landing as Scott leaves the ring and goes to the floor. The referee is telling them to get back into the ring, but they aren’t listening and that forces the ref to start a count.
Miku Sakai: Some of these referees are so stupid. Can any of them really count to ten? If EAW started IQ tests for referees then they’d all be out of a job.
Eve: Do you have anything nice to say about anybody besides yourself?
Miku Sakai: I might if everybody around here wasn’t a complete moron. Then again, nobody can be as talented or as skilled as me.
Deadprez: All the while, a match is going on. The referee’s count is still going on as Scott has brought Raven back to her feet AND JUST CLOBBERS HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE TAKING HER DOWN HARD TO THE FLOOR!
Gavin Kirkland: Poor Raven has had so much trouble getting out of the gates of this match. Is it possible that a 140 pound weight disadvantage might be too much for Raven to overcome?
Eve: I don’t think so. It doesn’t look good right now, but size deficits can be overcome in EAW. They have before and it will happen again in the future. It could happen again. Remember that Raven is a former World Champion in her own right.
Miku Sakai: Oh please. All this positivity is going to make me wanna throw up.
Deadprez: Your commentary is so refreshing, Miku, but let’s get back to the match. The referee’s count is still going as Scott grabs Raven and tosses her back into the ring before following suit.
Gavin Kirkland: Scott brings Raven back to her feet AND LIFTS HER UP IN THE AIR WITH THE MILITARY PRESS! SCOTT LIFTED RAVEN IN THE AIR LIKE IT WAS NOTHING–
Eve: LOOK AT THIS! RAVEN MANAGED TO GET FREE OF THE MILITARY PRESS! RAVEN SLIDES OFF SCOTT’S BACK TRYING TO TAKE HIM DOWN FOR A SUNSET FLIP!
Miku Sakai: Yeah like that’s going to work. Try to take someone down who is twice your weight. Good luck, bitch.
Deadprez: Scott was losing his balance, but he managed to compose himself and keep his balance. Scott tries to counter BY JUST DROPPING DOWN AND LANDING ON RAVEN–
Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY AND SCOTT LANDS HARD ON THE MAT! That wasn’t a pretty landing for the Hall of Famer.
Deadprez: Raven gets back to her feet before Scott can recover AND SHE STARTS FIRING OFF THOSE MUAY THAI STYLE KICKS TO THE RIBS AND TO THE FACE OF SCOTT DIAMOND!
Eve: For the first time in this match, Scott is on the defensive trying to block as many shots as he can, but that isn’t stopping Raven from getting that flurry of offense in on her opposition.
Miku Sakai: How do you guys stay awake during matches like this? I have only been out here for a few minutes and I am ready to fall asleep.
Gavin Kirkland: Scott is trying to get back to his feet and Raven sees that SO SHE GRABS SCOTT BY THE BACK OF THE NECK AND DROPS HIM WITH THE CODEBREAKER! DOUBLE KNEES TO THE FACE THAT TAKES SCOTT DOWN!
Eve: Scott still has some energy left as he starts to get back to his feet, so Raven decides to change her strategy up a little bit as she climbs onto the second rope.
Deadprez: Scott is back to his feet as he turns around AND RAVEN JUMPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND HITS THE LOU THESZ PRESS! THAT TAKES SCOTT BACK OFF BALANCE AND SENDS HIM TO THE MAT!
Miku Sakai: Go figure. I guess the damn birdbrain can fly. Miracles happen once in a while for losers like her.
Gavin Kirkland: Scott is down AND RAVEN IS THROWING PUNCHES INTO THE SKULL OF SCOTT DIAMOND AND THE REFEREE IS TELLING RAVEN TO OPEN UP THE FIST AND STOP THE PUNCHES!
Eve: Raven isn’t listening and the referee starts another count. Raven opens up that fist on four to prevent a disqualification on five.
Miku Sakai: Good for her! That dimestore skank can count to four. Next week, I guess she’ll work on the alphabet next week.
Deadprez: You better hope that Raven never hears those remarks, but Raven is back to her feet as she hits the ropes BEFORE JUMPING ONTO THE SECOND ROPE AND HITTING THE LIONSAULT! BEAUTIFUL MOVE BY RAVEN AS SHE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRR–
Gavin Kirkland: SCOTT KICKS OUT AT TWO AND HE JUST THREW RAVEN RIGHT OFF OF HIM! SHE MUST HAVE FLEW A GOOD COUPLE OF FEET BEFORE HITTING THE MAT!
Deadprez: Scott is a very dangerous powerhouse and playtime is over for Scott. Scott is back to his feet as Raven is up as well. Raven is first to the punch with a kick to the gut to halt Scott.
Eve: Scott is doubled over and Raven has him in the powerbomb position. Raven, come on. You’re not serious! Is she going for a powerbomb?
Miku Sakai: I told that her downfall will be her lack of brain power. This silicone whore can’t lift Scott Diamond!
Gavin Kirkland: It’s not a powerbomb. She’s getting ready for the Canadian Destroyer piledriver–
Eve: SCOTT STANDS BACK UP AND COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP THAT TAKES RAVEN DOWN! Raven gets back to her feet and Scott quickly grabs her. Facelock applied AND SCOTT LIFTS RAVEN UP IN THE AIR!
Deadprez: ANOTHER FEAT OF POWER FROM SCOTT AS HE CONTINUES TO HOLD RAVEN IN THE AIR! NOW HE’S WALKING TO THE CENTER OF THE RING WHILE STILL HOLDING RAVEN IN THE AIR!
Miku Sakai: It’s not that impressive. Isn’t silicone pretty light? Most of that bimbo was enhanced by a plastic surgeon.
Gavin Kirkland: I feel so bad for poor Raven, but Scott has yet to break a sweat keeping Raven in the air as long as he has. Even the crowd has got into the fun with counting how long Raven has been upside.
Eve: Scott’s had enough of the fun AND HE DROPS RAVEN WITH AN EXTREMELY DELAYED VERTICAL SUPLEX! RAVEN HITS THE MAT HARD ON IMPACT!
Deadprez: Scott is back up and he brings Raven back to her feet before picking her up for the hopes of a slam, BUT RAVEN THROWS ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF SCOTT’S HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN THROWS A FEW MORE ELBOWS AND SLIDES OFF SCOTT’S BACK! Raven lands on her feet and hits the ropes.
Miku Sakai: That bitch is gonna make Scott as much of a screwball as she is with all those elbows. Put her down already!
Deadprez: Raven rebounds off the ropes AND SCOTT TURNS AROUND AND CLOBBERS RAVEN IN THE FACE WITH THAT JUMPING KNEE!!
Eve: Good gawd! That could have knocked a few of Raven’s teeth out as she bounces into the ropes once more. Raven comes back once more AS SCOTT GRABS HER AND TOSSES HER DOWN WITH THE FALLAWAY SLAM!
Gavin Kirkland: Raven isn’t down for long as Scott once again brings Raven up and whips her to the ropes.
Eve: Raven rebounds off the ropes and SCOTT GRABS HER FOR A SIDEWALK SLAM, BUT RAVEN WAS ABLE TO GET HER LEGS AROUND SCOTT’S NECK AND GETS ENOUGH MOMENTUM GOING–
Deadprez: RAVEN COUNTERS WITH A HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID!
Miku Sakai: She just got lucky. If it wasn’t for luck, she’d have no chance of ever winning.
Gavin Kirkland: Scott was taken for the ride as he is getting back to his feet. While he is doing that, Raven backs up to the ropes one more time.
Eve: Scott is back up AND NOT SOON ENOUGH AFTER RAVEN COMES BACK AT FULL SPEED!
Deadprez: SHE LEAVES HER FEET AND MANAGES TO CATCH SCOTT RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE SPINNING HEEL KICK! “THE FACELIFT” CONNECTS AND TAKES SCOTT DOWN AND RAVEN HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: SCOTT POWERS OUT AT TWO! BOY THAT WAS VERY CLOSE!
Miku Sakai: Raven didn’t win. How heartbreaking. Then again winning rarely happens for her.
Deadprez: Raven is back up and brings Scott back to his feet as well. Raven fires a clothesline THAT SCOTT EASILY DUCKS!
Eve: SCOTT APPLIES THE WAISTLOCK AND JUST DROPS HER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! RAVEN LANDS HARD ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: That isn’t stopping the offense from Scott. Scott grabs Raven and applies a facelock. SCOTT LIFTS RAVEN UP IN THE AIR–
Eve: RAVEN WAS BROUGHT DOWN AND SHE WAS JUST SPIKED WITH THE DDT! “DEAD LEVEL DDT” BY SCOTT DIAMOND AND POOR RAVEN WAS SPIKED ON HER HEAD AS SCOTT ROLLS HER OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Deadprez: RAVEN KICKS OUT AT TWO! VERY CLOSE NEAR FALL OFF THE DDT FOR SCOTT AND A FEW PEOPLE IN THE CROWD LET OUT A SIGH OF RELIEF! They thought that this match was over!
Miku Sakai: Oh for the love of gawd! This is absolutely ridiculous. Why can’t he finish this bitch off?
(THUD!)
Gavin Kirkland: I guess that Miku is done on commentary for the evening as she is walking right over to the timekeeper’s area–
Eve: WHAT THE HELL? MIKU JUST SHOVED THE TIMEKEEPER TO THE FLOOR AND GRABS THE STEEL CHAIR THEY WERE SITTING IN! MIKU FOLDS IT UP AND HEADS RIGHT TO THE RING!
Deadprez: THE REFEREE IS WITH SCOTT RIGHT NOW AS MIKU SLIDES INTO THE RING WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! MIKU HAS AN EVIL GLEAM IN HER EYE AS SHE WALKS RIGHT OVER TO RAVEN!
Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN IS TRYING TO GET BACK TO HER FEET AS MIKU SAKAI BRINGS THE STEEL CHAIR BACK READY TO STRIKE RAVEN IN THE BACK TO CAUSE MORE DAMAGE—
Deadprez: MIKU GOT CAUGHT! THE REFEREE CATCHES MIKU IN THE RING WITH THE CHAIR! THE REFEREE TELLS MIKU TO GET OUT OF RING WHILE ALSO TAKING THE CHAIR AWAY FROM HER!
Eve: As the referee took the chair from Miku and goes to give it back to the timekeeper. BUT MIKU USED IT AS A DECOY AS SHE CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP ROPE READY TO GET RAVEN! SCOTT GOES TO PULL RAVEN BACK TO HIS FEET AS MIKU JUMPS!
Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN GETS OUT OF THE WAY AS MIKU COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DELIVERS A MISSILE DROPKICK RIGHT TO SCOTT’S FACE AND TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! UH OH!
Eve: OH THAT MOVE BACKFIRED ON MIKU AS SHE ROLLS TO THE APRON! SHE WANTED RAVEN, BUT ACCIDENTLY GOT SCOTT INSTEAD! THE REFEREE SAW NONE OF IT AS THEY WERE GETTING THE CHAIR OUT OF THE RING!
Deadprez: RAVEN TURNS AROUND AND SEES THAT SCOTT IS ON HIS KNEES! I DON’T KNOW IF SHE SAW SCOTT GET HIT WITH THE DROPKICK, BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP RAVEN FROM RUNNING FULL SPEED AND DELIVERING THE “TALON”! WHAT A MOVE!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT CLAYMORE KICK WAS A DIRECT HIT TO SCOTT’S HEAD AND THE FORCE SENT SCOTT STRAIGHT INTO THE CORNER! I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIS SAVING GRACE FOR NOT COMPLETELY KNOCKING HIM OUT!
Eve: SCOTT IS STILL ABLE TO STAY ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AS RAVEN QUICKLY GRABS SCOTT AND USES ALL HER WEIGHT AND MOMENTUM TO ROLL SCOTT OVER ON THE MAT! INSIDE CRADLE BY RAVEN AND SCOTT’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
( ‘Old Scars/Future Hearts’ starts playing again as Raven scrambles away from Scott. Miku is on the apron not happy that her plan backfired as Gina Romano announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… RAVEN ROBERTS!
Deadprez: What a great match between two legends of EAW here tonight. It was a hard fought battle even though Miku Sakai tried to make her presence felt and she didn’t see that coming!
Eve: OH I DON’T THINK THAT’S WHAT MIKU SAKAI WANTED AT ALL! She tried to interfere and cost Raven the match, but Miku caught Scott which led to the “Talon” Claymore kick and the eventual Inside Cradle to give Raven the win.
(The referee raises Raven’s arm in victory as Scott looks stunned that he got caught in the rollup as he gets back to his feet.)
Gavin Kirkland: Ohhh it makes me so happy that a beautiful woman is victorious. That was an amazing match.
Deadprez: You do remember that Raven is married, right? Anyways, it was a great match and the look on Scott’s face is obvious. He is NOT happy that Miku decided to interfere.
Eve: Scott looked close to winning the match on multiple occasions. But he was just the unfortunate victim of being at the wrong time at the wrong time thanks to Miku. WAIT A SECOND!
(As Raven is celebrating her victory, Miku enters the ring and runs to attack Raven from behind.)
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK AT MIKU! SHE IS IN THE RING AND GOING TO ATTACK RAVEN! WE MIGHT END UP WITH A CAT FIGHT! YAY!
Deadprez: Raven has no idea that Miku has even entered the ring. SHE BETTER TURN AROUND–
(Before Miku could reach Raven, She is grabbed around the waist by Scott Diamond.
Eve: WHAT THE HELL? SCOTT JUST GRABBED MIKU AND SAVED RAVEN FROM THE ASSAULT! RAVEN JUST TURNED AROUND AND SAW WHAT WAS GOING ON!
Gavin Kirkland: Get your hands off her, Scott.
Deadprez: Scott is not happy with Miku interfering in his match. Miku is trying to get free from Scott, but Scott is having none of it as he walks over to the ropes AND JUST LAUNCHES MIKU OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!
(Miku is on the floor trying to get back to her feet. She is completely stunned by the treatment she just received from Scott.)
Eve: This is an interesting development right there. Whatever his intentions were, he stopped Miku from attacking Raven. Whether it was to save Raven or to get payback for Miku’s meddling, that is up for debate.
Deadprez: I don’t know what to call it, but whatever it is, we offer our congratulations once again to Raven Roberts on the huge victory here tonight.
(The final shot shows Miku slowly walking up the entrance ramp looking angry and stunned as Raven and Scott look at her from the ring as the camera cuts to a commercial break.)
(“Legendary” by Pop Evil starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd rises to their feet and cheers, but this was not a scheduled time for the former Answers World Champion, in Adam Lucas who storms out to the ring, he looks ready to fight, sliding into the ring with a mic in hand.)
Deadprez: Adam Lucas is here, and he doesn’t look happy at all! We know that after what happened last week against Solomon Stane and now Caroline who was the woman that teamed up with him at Blind Faith and almost won the Over the Cage Brawl, that he thought at least they had a mutual respect for one another.
Gavin Kirkland: That is Adam’s problem, he thinks too much, and wants everyone to be happy, respectful and hold hands. I mean his wife pretty much ruined Caroline when she was a sweet cheerleader and now he expects this to just be all fine? No.
Eve: I will agree with you there Gavin, Solomon and Caroline have formed this Unholy Alliance, and I will tell you this, you cannot find two more dangerous elitists than them with the same goal.
(Adam Lucas paces in the ring some before his theme finally fades. Adam takes a moment while the crowd cheers in Chicago to acknowledge them.)
Adam Lucas: Thank you for the warm reception, Chicago, but the truth is I am not here to have fun tonight, I am here to fight!
(Those words get a great loud reaction from the Chicago crowd.)
Adam Lucas: Back at Reasonable Doubt and the weeks leading up to it, I really thought that Caroline and I had an understanding since we had to team with one another at the Blind Faith, that maybe… just maybe she would put her championship needs ahead of her own personal feelings. I looked back at the match footage and saw what she did. I wasn’t happy about it one bit, but there is nothing I could do about it now. I really did hope that someone like Caroline could turn the corner, I was obviously wrong. That is why earlier tonight I came out after her, because NO MORE!
(The crowd cheers as Adam continues to pace back and forth.)
Adam Lucas: But then there is Solomon Stane. Back at Road to Redemption, everyone saw what he did to me, when trying to wrestle the Answers World Championship from my grasp. He crucified me and now he wants to come and finish what he started, right? But it seems like now he has himself a friend and ally in Caroline, well I am SICK OF IT! I….
(Suddenly “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie starts to play throughout the arena. The lights go out as the haunting Caroline stands in the entrance way before making her way to the ring, but she doesn’t enter, instead stands on the apron.)
Deadprez: Business is about to pick up! Caroline is coming out here and she is smartly not getting in the ring as Adam paces!
Eve: Caroline is obviously out here to say something, but what is the question!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh…. the lovely bones! The lovely bones!
(Caroline smiles and has a mic in hand as her theme slowly dies down.)
Caroline: How pathetic are you, Adam? Coming out here huffing and puffing, making absolutely no sense when we all damn well know that I was never going to be your friend or willing tag team partner. You were a piece of a large puzzle, and played your role rather well, but the second the tag team match was done, this was over. It seems though that I am not the only one that completely loathes your guts, Adam.
Adam Lucas: Then let’s cut the crap and get in the ring and we can handle this like Elitists on Showdown do!
(Caroline starts to laugh as she slowly steps into the ring. Adam Lucas drops the mic and is ready for a fight, but Caroline just sits on the ropes and smiles. Adam is set to fight her…..)
Deadprez: SOLOMON STANE HAS SLIDE IN FROM BEHIND ADAM, AND LUCAS TURNS AROUND AND IS CLOTHESLINED BY SOLOM…. NO! ADAM DUCKS AND SOLOMON MISSES! ADAM STARTS LAYING IN THE LEFTS AND RIGHTS ON SOLOMON AFTER LANDING A LOU THEZS PRESS!
Eve: ADAM IS LAYING THE RIGHTS INTO HIM BUT HERE COMES CAROLINE…. SUPERKICK TO THE SIDE OF ADAM’S HEAD AND HE FALLS TO THE MAT AND CAROLINE JUMPS ON HIM! SHE IS CHOKING OUT ADAM! TRYING TO STRANGLE HIM!
Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON STANE IS NOW KICKING ADAM LUCAS WHILE HE IS DOWN! THEY ARE MUGGING ADAM! CAROLINE AND SOLOMON WANT TO GET RID OF HIM NOW!
(Caroline rolls off, she then signals Solomon to pick up Adam as he does, holding him in a full nelson, she then reaches in and places the long steel nails on her hand and smiles.)
Deadprez: SHE IS GOING TO GOUGE HIS EYES OUT WITH THOSE NAILS!
Eve: THIS IS GOING TO BE REAL UGLY! CAROLINE WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO RIP ADAM APART!
Gavin Kirkland: IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU AND…. WAIT A SECOND……..
(The crowd starts to rumble; someone hops the barricade and slides into the ring…..)
Deadprez: IT’S DR. BETHANY BLUE! ADAM LUCAS’S WIFE IS ON SHOWDOWN AND SHE JUMPS CAROLINE! SHE DIDN’T SEE BETHANY AND WAS TACKLED DOWN AND NOW BETHANY IS LAYING LEFTS AND RIGHTS ON HER BUT CAROLINE IS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING, AND ADAM BREAKS FREE FROM SOLOMON!
Eve: RIGHT AFTER RIGHT BY ADAM LUCAS AND BOTH HE AND BETHANY CLOTHESLINE SOLOMON OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!
(The crowd bursts out in cheers, some boo for Bethany but it is mayhem as Adam Lucas grabs the mic….)
Adam Lucas: You want to play this game!? Fine! WE can play at Grand Rampage! You two are against Beth and me!
(Bethany stands by Adam and smiles while an angered Caroline tries to get back into the ring but Solomon holds her back, they start to retreat as both parties have a stare down)
Deadprez: THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN LAID DOWN! AT GRAND RAMPAGE!
Eve: DR. BETHANY BLUE CAME FROM VOLTAGE TO HELP OUT HER HUSBAND!
Gavin Kirkland: She is here! I need to hide!
(Adam and Bethany stand side by side while Caroline and Solomon glare at them walking backwards toward the entranceway as it cuts to the backstage area.)
(Showdown slowly faded into backstage and towards one of the locker rooms, focusing on one specifically where one man sat there all by himself, that being Jon Kelton. He honestly wasn’t sure he was there, he didn’t even have a match of any sorts to get to tonight, he just ended up showing up to work like usual and hopefully something would happen. He has been super indifferent to most things for the past few weeks ever since the people that he thought he could trust just ended up turning on him like that, he didn’t even think when he went out there and talked with the crowd his words would actually be sincere in any way, but he finally spoke from the heart, and maybe he was able to fix something at least. But everything else? He needed to deal with his former friends, and maybe talk it out with-)
(Suddenly, his thoughts are interrupted when he hears a few voices just right outside his locker room, he gets up and turns confused as he walks closer to the door and he leans his head into the door to hear what was being said.)
???: Hello, could you tell me where Jon Kelton’s dressing room is located?
Stagehand: Oh yeah, it is just right over there.
???: Alright, thank youuuuu~
(Kelton turned even more confused as he continued hearing those voices, and the footsteps started getting closer. Wait, that voice, isn’t that-)
(Suddenly, he steps away and out of nowhere, the door to his dressing room gets kicked open with force! Jon is taken aback by what happened and he quickly realizes that the person who did it was none other than ARIA herself, genuine anger in her expression while she looked directly towards Kelton, she was wearing street clothes for her Street Fight just later in the main event, but it seems she wanted to say some words to Kelton just before she went to it. Kelton tries to speak up in a confused manner.)
Jon Kelton: Uh can I help yo-
(Aria suddenly pushes Kelton back over to his seat and suddenly raises up her voice to him.)
ARIA: Sit your ass down.
(Kelton scoffs slightly in annoyance when Aria does that but honestly, this is the opportunity that he needed to talk to her so he just raised his hands up in peace and then backed up a bit so Aria could sit down on the bench and Aria sat down herself, crossing her arms and continuing to throw daggers at Kelton.)
ARIA: Well?
Jon Kelton: Well what?
ARIA: Why did you help me last week?
Jon Kelton: Don’t think too much over it.
ARIA: Oh yeah? Because as far as I know, I didn’t ask you at all to help me out there in any way.
Jon Kelton: I have my own issues with The British Invasion. The assist was less about helping you and more about getting a measure of revenge.
ARIA: Then focus on those issues another time, I don’t need you trying to get in my way while I am fighting them myself!
Jon Kelton: So would you have preferred to fight the three of them off at once? Is that what you’re telling me? Not to bring up past trauma and bad blood or anything, but your track record isn’t exactly the best when the numbers are against you.
ARIA: I was going to figure SOMETHING out, they aren’t going to kill me after all.
(The two of them quickly grow silent after that and they don’t exchange any words for a few seconds. And finally, Kelton speaks up and tries to break the silence.)
Jon Kelton: Look. I know I’m not exactly your favorite person in the world. But maybe we could-g
ARIA: No.
Jon Kelton: Wow. Are you not even going to let me finish?
ARIA: No. Because I know damn well what you are going to ask. You want to team up to be able to fight them together, don’t you?
(Kelton looks away for a moment not wanting to really respond to the question before he lets out a slight sigh and is forced to give a response. )
Jon Kelton: Maybe.
ARIA: Unbelievable.
Jon Kelton: Look, regardless of if you want to help me or not. I’m going after the three of them. And unlike you, I don’t care if the numbers are in my favor. I don’t care who decides to stand with me or not. I’ll go at it alone if I have to. But it just makes more sense for us to do it together considering the history we have with them.
ARIA: WORK TOGETHER?! WITH YOU??? After everything that you have done to this whole roster and what you have done towards me? Now you are feeling guilty because they turned on you and you have nobody now to back you up? Maybe if you didn’t let your dumbass ex-girlfriend out during our match things would be different, if you didn’t continue to resort to taking out the easy way in almost every match for the last year, you wouldn’t BE in this position, don’t you think?
Jon Kelton: I’ve acknowledged as much. It’s as I’ve said, I don’t expect people to just forget the last year. I don’t expect anyone to forgive me. But I was truthful and forthcoming in my apology. I was as honest and vulnerable as I could ever be. And I meant every word I uttered. I’m trying to atone, ARIA. I’m trying to make it right. So as much as I’d like to be able to say that me helping you was just about me doing the right thing, that’s only half the truth. I may never be able to change what I’ve done, but I’d sleep a lot better knowing that I stopped The British Invasion from running roughshod over this brand in the same manner that Devolution once did.
ARIA: And you think things are just going to magically get better just by saying “sorry”? It doesn’t work that way, and it will never be!
Jon Kelton: You’ve been fighting the good fight for the past six months on your own and it’s gotten you absolutely nowhere. In fact, it’s done more harm than good. And despite everything you’ve gone through, you still have it in your mind that you can do this by yourself-
ARIA: Because I can do it MYSELF.
(Jon ends up getting out of his seat and looking down over at ARIA with a serious expression on his face.)
Jon Kelton: It might not be my place to ask, but… are you alright?
ARIA: …
Jon Kelton: I get we aren’t friends. And at one point we were practically enemies, but it’s like I said, it’s the past. And the past should stay in the past. But in this moment right here, right now- are you okay? Cause this isn’t you-
(ARIA suddenly gets up to her feet in pure rage and starts raising her voice up even more.)
ARIA: ISN’T ME?! I CAN BE WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT TO BE, KELTON! WHAT I AM GOING TO BE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW IS THE WOMAN THAT IS GOING TO END EVERYTHING ONCE AND FOR ALL! WHILE YOU DECIDED TO PUT YOURSELF AS THE BIGGEST IDIOT IN EXISTENCE BY TAKING EVERY WRONG DECISION YOU COULD MAKE!
ARIA: How do I know that you are actually sincere with the words that you are saying to me? With the words that you are saying to the entire world? When there have been various instances of you changing up your story, changing up how you present yourself depending if things go well for you or horrible for you, I called that out on you before, and I am going to call it out again, just simply a cartoon character, changing faces for every situation and never finding what your voice actually is supposed to be, how do I know that the person I am seeing in front of me is the real Kelton? How do I know that if we team up, we go against those british bastards and we defeat them, you aren’t just going to turn on me after? You aren’t going to later talk trash about me and paint me as something completely different despite me helping you? You have lost the trust of so many people around you and I am not even sure you can get them back, you can go out there in the ring, try to paint up some sob story and prey on the good heart of the people who watch the show, but it is going to take a lot harder to get the people in this locker room to actually listen to you once more, for me? You might as well quit it at this point. I am not the same woman anymore that you have talked to months ago, it is because of you and your group that you made me like this, and you are going to be forced to deal with that weight on your shoulders for the rest of your life.
Jon Kelton: .. Aria–
(ARIA SUDDENLY MOVES HER HAND OVER AND THEN SHE SLAPS KELTON RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! Kelton doesn’t react though, simply looking back at her with a disappointed stare on his face, almost one of regret. As Aria begins to scream at him.)
ARIA: I hope you are happy with yourself. You turned your back on the people that were your friends, the people who respected you for some little spotlight for the boss. I didn’t need, nor will I ever need your help again. Fuck off, and don’t bother me anymore.
(ARIA then turned her back on Kelton and walked away, walking out of the locker room and slamming the door behind her, as the camera pans to show Kelton standing there confused as to how everything went wrong. He simply sighs and throws his hands up behind his head as Showdown fades to commercial for the last time.)
(The last commercial break of the night plays for a YouTube tutorial on how to turn your PS4 into a PS5 featuring Gary Daniels begins to air.)
(Showdown returns from commercial break as ARIA is already inside the ring. She has a kendo stick in her possession as she paces back-and-forth inside the ring, ready to get things started in this Chicago Street Fight.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS CHICAGO STREET FIGHT!!!!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gina Romano: AND… IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…ALREADY IN THE RING…FROM CHANDLER, ARIZONA…SHE IS ‘THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH’…ARIA!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I can’t imagine how much ARIA has been waiting for this match! I wanna say since December at Road to Redemption when Pandora Paisley would cost ARIA the ‘Trip to Purgatory’ match against Usagi Senshi! Since then, ARIA has been looking to settle things with Pandora, but after two months, ARIA gets that wish!
Eve: ARIA said some things towards Pandora Paisley this week. Maybe, Pandora is the one that’s cursed? The Rouges Gallery didn’t pan out the way she had hoped. The Devolution had more kick to them, but it managed to fall apart. Now, it seems like The British Invasion is Pandora’s shot in making sure that she gets this right. Pandora is not the issue in her groups, but she’s had terrible luck in finding solid teammates.
Deadprez: In this case, Pandora Paisley might have terrible luck in finding people that stick around. But, I think that she finally found someone in Halsey Neel that could take her to the next level. First, she needs to get past ARIA and then, focus on those Unified Tag Team Championships!
(The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen before a roar is heard throughout the United Center. ‘Just Stop’ by Disturbed begins to play through the speakers as Pandora Paisley walks out, oozing with confidence in her trademark fedora and glasses. She lowers her glasses and winks at ARIA, who doesn’t look to be amused whatsoever.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT….REPRESENTING THE BRITISH INVASION… FROM BLACKPOOL, ENGLAND…SHE IS ‘THE HELLCAT’…PANDORA PAISLEY!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: We are graced by the presence of Pandora Paisley! From The Devolution to The British Invasion, the consistent point of this season has been Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley. A woman, who has tried her bet with a few groups along the way, but I feel like she’s found her place right at this moment. I mean, it seems like she might be on her way to get her very first championship in EAW.
Eve: But, I think Pandora Paisley is realizing that they got some guests watching this match!
(The camera pans to NICHOLISM as the fans in the United Center explode in cheers as the Unified Tag Team Champions, Alex Myers and Ruler are sat front row to observe this main event. Pandora does a playful wave before entering the ring.)
Deadprez: All of the crazy dynamics in this match are going to be a sight to see. We have The British Invasion and NICHOLISM who have had some issues since Operation: Doomsday. We have ARIA and Pandora who have been at each other’s throats all through this season. It’s peaked within the past few months and they look to settle it all.
Gavin Kirkland: ARIA. Pandora Paisley. Chicago Street Fight. Which of these beautiful women will walk away with the victory? We’re going to figure that out…RIGHT NOW!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: AS SOON AS THE BELL RINGS, ARIA CHARGES RIGHT AFTER PANDORA PAISLEY WITH THE KENDO STICK!
Deadprez: But, Pandora Paisley quickly slides out of the ring! ARIA nearly whacked her with the kendo stick! ARIA is twirling the kendo stick around as she’s gesturing for Pandora to enter the ring! But, Pandora is being strategic! She’ll enter the ring when it’s most ideal for her! Pandora is wagging her finger as she’s telling ARIA that she is not calling the shots here! The crowd is not liking this as they’re telling Pandora to get back inside the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, ARIA IS NOT GOING TO DO THAT! SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF AND OVER THE ROPES WITH A TOPE CON HILO ON PANDORA PAISLEY! ARIA is hyping the crowd up as she waits for Pandora to rise back to her feet as she swings the kendo stick to her spine as that causes ‘The Hellcat’ to bend forward in response! Then, ARIA swings the kendo stick to the ribs of Pandora as that takes her to the ground! ARIA begins to swing at Pandora’s body! Kendo stick shot after kendo stick shot as Pandora is trying to cover herself from all of the blows, but ARIA is too quick!
Eve: We see that Pandora Paisley is trying to get herself into a crawling position! She is looking for underneath the ring as if there is something that she needs to get her hands on! BUT, ARIA GRABS PANDORA BY HER LEG! SHE HAS PANDORA’S LEG AS SHE’S TRYING TO YANK IT OUT! BUT, PANDORA IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE! ARIA TRIES TO LOOK INSIDE THE RING TO SEE WHAT PANDORA IS LOOKING FOR —
Deadprez: ARIA IS TAKEN BACK BY THE FOAM OF THE FIRE HYDRANT THAT WE HAVE UNDERNEATH THE RING! THIS CAUSES ARIA TO STAGGER BACK AND FALL TO THE GROUND AS PANDORA PAISLEY FINDS HER WAY UP TO HER FEET AS IT’S REVEALED THAT SHE HAS HER HANDS ON THE RED FIRE HYDRANT THAT SHE HAD USED TO BRING ARIA TO THE GROUND! But, ARIA rises to her feet as Pandora uses the fire hydrant and rams it to the ribs of the former Specialists Champion! ARIA is clutching her stomach in pain as Pandora rises to her feet and slams the fire hydrant to her spine as that takes ARIA flat to her face!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora Paisley still has possession of that red fire hydrant as she places it in the middle turnbuckle at the corner! I’m looking to see what she is cooking up there! She sees that ARIA is slowly rising back to a crawling position as PANDORA IS ABLE TO SLOWLY ADJUST WHAT SHE IS DOING AS SHE TURNS HER ATTENTION BACK TO ARIA, RUNNING TOWARDS HER AND CONNECTING WITH A ‘FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION’ AS THAT TAKES ARIA BACK TO THE GROUND! THAT CURB STOMP LOOKED BRUTAL THERE AS MY ‘HELLCAT’ LOOKS TO BE SO PROUD OF HERSELF!
Eve: Pandora Paisley gets ARIA and rolls her back inside the ring! She gets ARIA in a front headlock before raising ARIA up and connecting with a a twisting fisherman’s suplex! Now, that looks gorgeous there as Pandora has a beautiful bridge as she has ARIA’s shoulders pinned to the mat! This is the first pin fall attempt of the match!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOO—
Deadprez: ARIA with a kick out! Pandora Paisley gets on top of ARIA as she connects with a series of punches to the face of the former Specialists Champion! THEN, PANDORA MANAGES TO USE THOSE PERFECTLY MANICURED NAILS AS SHE DIGS INTO THE EYES OF ARIA! THOSE ARE THE ‘CAT’S CLAWS,’ LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! SHE IS RAKING THE EYES OF ‘THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH’ AS ALL OF THIS IS LEGAL! THERE IS NOTHING THAT THE REFEREE CAN DO, BUT WATCH, OBSERVE AND IF THINGS GET TO THE POINT WHERE HE NEEDS TO CALL OFF THIS MATCH, HE’LL DO THAT. BUT, THIS IS ALL LEGAL IN THIS CHICAGO STREET FIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora Paisley sees that ARIA is temporarily blind for the time being! I think that Pandora might have bursted one of ARIA’s blood vessels in her eyes! I hope that it’s nothing too damaging to the eyesight of ARIA! Pandora looks at ARIA as she says something that our audio team is not able to pick up on time as she throws ARIA skull first against the fire hydrant on the middle turnbuckle at the corner! Yikes! That didn’t even take the fire hydrant out of position! But, it was enough to make ARIA collapse to the ground! She is looking at NICHOLISM, who have made their presence felt in the EAW Universe!
(The camera pans to NICHOLISM. Ruler is looking on the match with an intrigue with what Pandora Paisley was able to do. Meanwhile, Alex Myers is looking at their girlfriend with almost a concerned look on her face, but full confidence that she’ll be able to get the job done.)
Eve: We see that Pandora Paisley has turned her focus to NICHOLISM who are in the front row of the EAW Universe as they were granted the opportunity to observe this match in Chicago! We know that Pandora is going to play up this match to get underneath their skin! Especially Alex’s, knowing that this is their girlfriend that she’s in the ring with! Pandora gets ARIA and places her head on the middle rope as she looks across NICHOLISM! Pandora places her knee on the back of ARIA’s neck as she places ALL of that weight on the back of ARIA’s neck! Once again, there’s not much that the referee can do in this situation!
Deadprez: That’s something that we need to remind EVERYONE of! Pandora Paisley can do whatever she places in this match! She is in total control at the moment as she now places ALL of her weight on the spine of ARIA! I think that the referee might need to step in before ARIA’s spine can totally break in half!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora Paisley looks at the referee, hating that she put a bit of a stop to the fun that she was having! She gets ARIA before applying a side headlock on her! Now, it seems like she’s placing a bit more pressure on the neck as she tried to focus on that just a few moments ago! Pandora wrenches in the neck, applying more pressure to the hold as she gets to a knee! She turns to face all four sides of the ring, letting the crowd and especially, NICHOLISM get a good look on the wrestler that she is! Isn’t she nice, Eve and DP?
Eve: ARIA is trying to break free of those holds! She realizes that she is not in the most ideal situation that she possibly can! It seems like she might be getting a bit of her vision back as she begins to elbow Pandora Paisley in the face, hoping that she can release the hold! But, Pandora says “nah, nah, nah” as she extends her back before connecting with a snapmare facebuster that takes ARIA to the ground! Pandora with the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOOOO—
Deadprez: ARIA with a kick out! Pandora Paisley gets ARIA up to her feet as she grabs ARIA by the back of her head! She runs with ARIA in her possession as she looks to throw ARIA skull first against the turnbuckle at the corner! But, ARIA manages to get one of her legs up, pressing her boot against the turnbuckle, stopping any attempt Pandora has on throwing her skull there! Then, ARIA connects with an elbow as that seems to take Pandora back! Pandora charges back to ARIA, but ARIA connects with a superkick as that takes Pandora back once more! ARIA charges right after Pandora and connects with a sling blade as that takes ‘The Hellcat’ down!
Gavin Kirkland: Right there, you can see ARIA’s eye and get a good look of the bursted blood vessel! I don’t think it’s too serious, but you can never be sure with any of these injuries! Pandora Paisley slowly rises to her feet as ARIA connects with a side step enziguri that takes Pandora to one knee! Then, ARIA connects with a spinning wheel kick as that knocks Pandora to her side completely! ARIA follows that up by connecting with springboard moonsault from the second rope! ARIA with a cover on Pandora!
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOO—
Eve: Pandora Paisley with a kick out! ARIA rises back to her feet as she grabs Pandora in a front headlock! ARIA connects with a series of knee strikes to the gut of one-half of The British Invasion! ARIA runs to and off the ropes and connects with a bicycle knee! But, Pandora manages to spin herself around as she manages to pull ARIA closer and connect with a snap DDT! Just like that, Pandora was able to catch ARIA off guard! Pandora is checking her nose to see if it’s bleeding, but she seems to be fine!
Deadprez: It seemed like Pandora Paisley was playing possum for a bit enough to sucker in ARIA into whatever she had in mind! Pandora gets ARIA and throws her through the middle rope and to our side at ringside!
Gavin Kirkland: Hi, Pandora! You look absolutely scrumptious!
Pandora Paisley:
Gavin Kirkland: I think that I’m in love.
Eve: I think that Pandora Paisley is just a little bit flirtatious at times! But, she turns her attention from you and back to ARIA! She gets ARIA by her arm and whips her to the barricade as ARIA collides spine first there! You can see ARIA arching her back in pain as Pandora does not look to waste any time as she charges towards ARIA, looking to connect with a yakuza kick to ARIA! BUT, ARIA MANAGES TO GET A HOLD OF PANDORA AND THROWS HER BACK AND OVER THE BARRICADE! THE STRENGTH THAT MUST HAVE TAKEN FOR ARIA TO DO IT! SHE USED PANDORA’S MOMENTUM AND SPEED OF THE BIG BOOT TO HER ADVANTAGE AS THAT WAS ENOUGH TO SEND PANDORA OVER THE BARRICADE INTO THE EAW UNIVERSE!
Deadprez: ARIA might have her opening here, folks! ARIA finds herself on top of the barricade as she is trying to see if Pandora Paisley turns towards her! What does ARIA have in mind with this??
Gavin Kirkland: TILT-A-WHIRL INTO A DDT AS THAT SPIKES PANDORA PAISLEY ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! I THINK THAT PANDORA MIGHT BE A LITTLE DIZZY HERE AS ARIA LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT! From the look on ‘The Absolute Truth’s’ face, the security gets the idea to make sure that the EAW Universe in that surrounding area all evacuates, so that ARIA can be allowed to do whatever she pleases! ARIA looks around the pleater of empty chairs as a wicked smirk forms on her face! She grabs Pandora in a front headlock as ARIA stands on one of the steel chairs! I don’t think that I am going to like whatever ARIA has in mind!
Eve: I think I’m intrigued with whatever ARIA is looking to do here! She is standing on top of the chair as she gets Pandora Paisley up! PANDORA IS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN AS ARIA ANGLES HER BODY TO HER SIDE AS SHE’S FACING THE REST OF THE CHAIRS NEXT TO HER! SHE CONNECTS WITH THE ‘ZIRCON DRIVER’ — HER VARIATION OF THE TIGER DRIVER ’98 ON PANDORA! ARIA JUST SPIKED PANDORA ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD THERE! Not only that, but she severely dented that chair next to her! Jesus Christ! ARIA is hyping herself up as she’s high-fiving the fans! Then, she goes to her partner, Alex Myers who is watching her match! Aww, a smooth with the couple as ARIA turns her attention back to Pandora!
Deadprez: Pandora Paisley tries to get herself up, but you can tell that she’s wobbly at the moment! She can’t seem to balance herself as ARIA realizes the situation that Pandora is in! But, does she care? Nope! ARIA grabs Pandora by the back of her hair and throws her to the other set of chairs behind her! Some of the chairs around them collapse to the impact of that throw! Pandora is clutching the back of her head as she tries to find some refuge to the tunnel that leads outside of the arena! BUT, ARIA CHARGES AT PANDORA AS SHE LANDS A METEORA AS THAT TAKES PANDORA TO HER BACK! ARIA BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO ‘THE HELLCAT!’ NOW, IT’S TIME FOR A BIT OF PAYBACK FOR THE TURMOIL THAT PANDORA HAS GIVEN ARIA FOR WEEKS!
Gavin Kirkland: ARIA finds herself back to her feet as she gets Pandora Paisley and throws her skull first against the concrete wall of the United Center! This causes Pandora to collapse to the ground! Oh god, just look at my beautiful hellcat’s face!
(The camera pans to Pandora Paisley who collapses to the ground as her beautiful face begins to don a crimson mask, which begins to pour from her forehead.)
Eve: I was thinking that if this match were to have someone bleed, it would be ARIA, but Pandora Paisley shedding blood first was something that I did not expect! But, this woman loves to do that! It gives her the aesthetic that she places, I suppose! But, ARIA is not finished with making blood pour out of Pandora! SHE GETS PANDORA FROM THE BACK OF HER HEAD AND THROWS HER FOREHEAD FIRST AGAINST THE WALL! SHE IS SMEARING PANDORA’S BLOOD AGAINST THE CONCRETE WALL! THE WALL IS GETTING A NEW PAINT JOB, BUT IN RED, THIS TIME! THIS IS CAUSING MORE BLOOD TO TRICKLE OUT OF PANDORA’S HEAD! THE VIBRANT BLOOD ON HER FACE, GETTING DARK RED AS IT CONTINUES TO PUMP OUT!
Deadprez: ARIA gets Pandora Paisley by her hair as ARIA is dragging her through the tunnel! Now, it’s going to take a moment or two for our cameras to get there! But, you ought to get a good look on Alex Myers’ face!
(Alex Myers has a combination of looking really aroused and intrigued at the same time by ARIA getting violent. There is more than enjoying seeing Pandora Paisley get the ass whooping that she rightfully deserves. Ruler is telling his partner to sit down and not embarrass him.)
Gavin Kirkland: We should just make Alex Myers be the Taylor Swift and pan the camera to them at the most opportunistic moments of this match —
(The camera FINALLY pans to ARIA and Pandora Paisley on the concession stands. These two are near the popcorn and soda section as ARIA slams Pandora’s head against the metal of the soda machine!)
Eve: Now, that’s the concession stand where the EAW Universe has been getting their hotdogs, popcorn, nachos, sodas and beer the entire night! ARIA gets Pandora Paisley’s head underneath the soda machine as she turns on the machine as Dr. Pepper, Sprite and Barq’s Root Beer is being poured on top of her head at the same time! Pandora is being dripped wet with soda!
Deadprez: But, Pandora Paisley is trying to get her hands on something that she can grasp onto! But, the soda is completely flooding as she can’t get a hand on the tray over the drain that the soda goes underneath! But, she gets her hands on top as she throws a series of large plastic lids that are used for the sodas towards ARIA! But, Pandora creates an even bigger mess as she grabs the medium and small plastic lids as she throws them back as ARIA finds herself distracted by that mess! THEN, THIS ALLOWS FOR PANDORA TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF THE MATCH AS SHE RAISES ARIA UP AND CONNECTS WITH A FLAPJACK AS ARIA’S FACE COLLIDES WITH THE TOP OF THE SODA MACHINE! THAT’S METAL THERE AS ARIA FANS BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora Paisley is going to use whatever she can get her hands on! She is looking at the refrigerator that the water bottles and beers are placed inside! She pulls out a bottle of Corona as she slams it against the skull of ARIA! BUT, PANDORA IS GOING CRAZY AS SHE GETS HER HANDS ON MULTIPLE BOTTLES OF CORONA BEER AS SHE BEGINS TO SLAM IT TO THE FACE AND FOREHEAD OF ARIA LIKE THEY ARE A BASKETBALL! BUT, THERE IS NO BOUNCING BACK FROM THOSE BOTTLES, PANDORA! SHE GETS HER HANDS ON ONE OF THE CORONAS AS SHE SLAMS IT AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE COUNTER! THE BOTTLE BEGINS TO FOAM OUT OF THE BOTTLE AS SHE TAKES A SIP OUT OF OUT BEFORE SPITTING IT AT ARIA’S FACE!
Eve: I don’t think it’s as good as the beer from England, Gavin! Now, we are getting a good look at ARIA, who is completely bleeding on her forehead! The crimson mask is beginning to pour out of her forehead as Pandora begins to use her ‘Cat’s Claw’s to cause the wound on ARIA’s forehead to rip open even more! You can see the blood pouring out of ARIA’s skull as we see that a referee is able to make it out there for this match! But, once more, there is not much that the referee can do at the moment! This is a Street Fight after all!
Deadprez: With all of the punching from ‘The Hellcat,’ Pandora Paisley is looking at her hands that are with ARIA’s blood as she —
Crowd: YOU SICK BITCH! YOU SICK BITCH! YOU SICK BITCH!
Gavin Kirkland: She is licking the blood of ARIA! IT SHOULD BE ME, NOT HER!
Eve: Gavin, get a grip here! Pandora Paisley is just relishing in this moment! She gets underneath the skin of the EAW Universe, NICHOLISM and especially, Alex Myers.
(The crowd pans to NICHOLISM back in the arena as Alex Myers is shaking their head, not impressed by the entire thing as they are trying to encourage ARIA to get back in this match. Meanwhile, it seems like Ruler is being observant, more than ready to come to ARIA’s defense if Alex does something first.)
Deadprez: Pandora Paisley is looking down at the mess that she created with ARIA, but Pandora is just as a mess as her! Pandora is looking around the concession stands, looking to see what else she can use at her disposal. Oh god, she’s looking at that popcorn machine! What in the world can she do with that popcorn machine?
Gavin Kirkland: I LOVE a woman who can keep me on my toes! Pandora Paisley with an evil grin on her face as she opens the glass door and shoves ARIA’s head inside! No! ARIA is looking to stop Pandora from sticking her head inside the popcorn machine! She throws an elbow back to Pandora who staggers back! But, Pandora still seems determined to use that popcorn machine! She charges towards ARIA, BUT ARIA NAILS PANDORA WITH A FLATLINER AS THAT SENDS HER HEAD INSIDE THE POPCORN MACHINE! SHE SLAMS THE GLASS DOOR CLOSED AS —
(The sizzling of the metal inside the popcorn machine causes Pandora Paisley to let out a hurling scream that could be heard to those inside the arena. But, ARIA decides to power up the popcorn machine as popcorn begins to be made in the process.)
Eve: You can hear the sound of kernels being popped! Pandora Paisley’s is completely stuck inside that machine! ARIA has Pandora’s face clearly stuck to the metal where the popcorn is landing at! ARIA is grasping for something to clutch on! Just something that is going to get her out of this predicament!
Deadprez: Pandora Paisley manages to use one of her hands to claw ARIA’s eyes away from her! This causes ARIA to lose her grip on Pandora entirely! BUT, PANDORA MANAGES TO GET THAT METAL FILTER THAT IS USED TO POP IN THE KERNELS AND SLAMS ARIA IN THE FACE WITH IT! ARIA FALLS TO THE GROUND AS PANDORA MANAGES TO REACH BACK INTO THE MACHINE AND GRAB A HANDFUL OF POPCORN BEFORE SHOVING IT ENTIRELY INTO ARIA’S MOUTH! ‘CAT’S PAW’ — THE SUPERKICK TO THE MOUTH OF ARIA AS THAT TAKES HER BACK DOWN! SEVERAL PIECES OF POPCORN SCATTER ALL AROUND! BUT, PANDORA REALIZES THAT SHE CAN’T WIN THIS CHICAGO STREET FIGHT IN THE CONCESSIONS STAND! SHE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN BACK TO THE RING!
(Pandora Paisley gets ARIA and throws her over the concessions stand. She hopes over it shortly after as she grabs ARIA by that gorgeous blonde hair of hers and drags her back inside the ring. We see ARIA screaming as Pandora drags her through the tunnel and back with the sea of EAW fans, who cheer when they spot the two of them.)
Gavin Kirkland: These two women are a completely bloody, buttery, kerneled filled mess. Pandora Paisley has her sights set back inside the ring as NICHOLISM manages to stand up on their steel chairs to look at the two women! Pandora is looking at Alex Myers, who is rooting for ARIA to find herself back into this mess! Pandora is gesturing for Alex to retrieve ARIA from her, but Alex can’t do that. Well they can, but this is ARIA’s battle that they need to let her fight for herself!
Eve: Pandora Paisley is insisting for Alex Myers to retrieve their girlfriend, but Alex is doing their best to remain calm in the situation. Alex is saying some things to Pandora as that causes her to approach Alex closer! ALEX IS TELLING PANDORA TO TURN AROUND AS PANDORA DOES THAT AS — ‘GOD SHATTERING STAR’ — THE BUSAIKU KNEE TO THE TEMPLE OF ARIA AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN! THE EAW UNIVERSE IS COMPLETELY ON THEIR FEET AS ARIA IS STILL ALIVE AND NOW, FINDING A WAY TO WIN THIS MATCH FOR HERSELF! ALEX MYERS AND RULER ARE HYPING HER UP, TELLING HER TO CLOSE THIS CHAPTER TO HER STORY!
Deadprez: ARIA DOES THAT AS SHE GRABS PANDORA PAISLEY AND THROWS HER OVER THE BARRICADE! ARIA HOPES OVER THE BARRICADE AS THE TWO WOMEN ARE NOW BACK AT RINGSIDE! ARIA ROLLS PANDORA BACK INSIDE THE RING AS ARIA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT??
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRR—
Gavin Kirkland: My precious Hellcat manages to find the strength to kick out! The whole crowd in the United Center is going crazy at the sight of Pandora Paisley kicking out! ARIA can’t seem to believe it! She thought that she had Pandora there! But, slams her hands against the canvas as she gathers the strength of the EAW fans to help her to her feet! ARIA slowly begins to back away from the corner as she looks to connect with the ‘God Shattering Star’ once more! This one is more than likely the determining factor on whether she puts away Pandora for good! Come on, Pandora! You gotta get out of this!
Eve: ARIA GOES CHARGING TO PANDORA PAISLEY WITH A ‘GOD SHATTERING STAR’ TO THE SKULL!
Deadprez: NO, EVE! PANDORA PAISLEY WAS PULLED OUT OF THE RING AT THE NICK OF TIME! THAT’S HALSEY NEEL, THE OTHER HALF OF THE BRITISH INVASION! The crowd’s cheering immediately goes to booing as Halsey was able to come to the aid of her fellow Brit. But, NICHOLISM does not even want to give The British Invasion any opportunities to get things started! The two of them hope over the apron as the crowd knows that something is going to go down! We are going to see a preview of what is going to go down as soon as these for Elitists clash! The British Invasion and NICHOLISM are staring down at each other! Let’s not forget that Alex and Halsey are going to face off tomorrow night on Voltage!
Gavin Kirkland: AND, WE’RE OFF TO THE RACES AS PANDORA PAISLEY GOES AFTER ALEX MYERS! RULER GOES AFTER HALSEY NEEL! ALEX GOES TO LAUNCH THEMSELF AFTER PANDORA, BUT ARIA FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND NAILS A TOPE CON HILO FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH THIS TAKES PANDORA DOWN EASILY!
Eve: But, we see that Halsey Neel is trying to come to the aid of her partner, BUT RULER TURNS AROUND AND NAILS HER WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT TAKES HER BACK, BUT SHE REGAINS HER BALANCE! THE TWO ELITISTS STARE DOWN AT EACH OTHER AS HALSEY AND RULER BEGIN TO EXCHANGE BLOWS! THE TWO OF THEM ARE NOT SAYING MUCH AS THE TWO OF THEM ARE THROWING PUNCHES TO EACH OTHER AT A RAPID SPEED! The two Elitists who will duke it out for the Unified Tag Team Championships, along with their respective partners, are beating the hell out of each other! Halsey is trying to get herself out of the situation, but Ruler is right on her tail! Halsey turns herself around as the two of them begin to throw punches at each other at the same time! I think that these two are heading to the back!
Eve: As we shift our focus back into this match, we see that Alex Myers and ARIA are having a moment, where they’re smiling at the reception of the crowd! But Alex looks at ARIA, knowing that she needs to put an end to Pandora Paisley and this rivalry with her! Alex kicks up their skateboard to reveal the skateboard is filled with thumbtacks and glass shards glued to the backboard!
Deadprez: Well, Alex Myers knew that ARIA was going to need a weapon to REALLY put Pandora Paisley down and they might have chosen a weapon that has worked well for them in the past! They hand it to ARIA as ARIA throws Pandora back inside the ring as ARIA and the skateboard slide back inside the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: ARIA is demanding for Pandora Paisley to rise back to her feet! Pandora has no idea about the gruesome fate that lies ahead of her! Pandora is slowly finding the inner strength to rise back to her feet as she turns around as ARIA charges towards ‘The Hellcat’ with the skateboard!
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) NATHAN!
(At the last very second, ARIA stops herself and that skateboard from colliding onto Pandora Paisley. Pandora’s scream of her little brother, Nathan, who has autism, fills the entire arena as Pandora collapses the ground, not finding the strength to stand up and fight this. She is never the one to swallow her pride, but she knew that this could be the end of her road if ARIA nails that skateboard to her. Pandora needed to remind ARIA of who she is fighting for. ARIA has a huge soft spot for Pandora’s little brother and as she looks at the skateboard in her disposal, raises the skateboard lower. She realizes that if she were to slam that skateboard, filled with thumbtacks and glass shards, there’s a huge chance that it could cause some damage to the skull of Pandora. This one concussion could end her career, it could cause her to be paralyzed. She could be the reason why Nathan doesn’t have Pandora looking out for her. All of these thoughts and possibilities just race in her mind and not one of them was good.)
Eve: Pandora Paisley has a little brother, Nathan, who is autistic. She has been the sole provider for him. She is the one providing for her mom and brother. Pandora’s gone and what happens to Nathan?
Deadprez: I don’t even want to go that far, but I think that ARIA might have made a fantastic choice in not doing something regrettable — what’s going on?
(Daryl Kinkade is finally revealed to be looking underneath the ring for something. He decided to take advantage of the brawling between Halsey Neel and Ruler and look for something underneath the ring. It takes a moment to figure out what he is looking for before he pulls out a roll of razor wire as he places it in the corner, where Pandora is able to look at it.)
Eve: I think that he is looking to go for the element of surprise on ARIA! ARIA is still conflicted on what she should do. Should she show Pandora mercy? Should she put an end to this rivalry of her’s? ARIA is weighing the pros and cons in her mind! She doesn’t know how to approach any of this anymore! BUT, PANDORA PAISLEY, USING THAT SPLIT SECOND OF HESITATION, KICKS ARIA’S LEGS FROM UNDER AND MAKES HER FALL! THE SKATEBOARD FALLS OUT OF HER GRASP AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!
Deadprez: The cackling of ‘The Hellcat’ as she might have put on the best performance of her career! It might be deserving of an Oscar as the crowd is booing the hell out of this woman! Daryl Kinkade is pointing towards the razor wire that he left for her as he hypes her up and tells her that she’s “got this” and to “put an end to her once and for all.” Daryl is slowly backing up towards the barricade as he fails to realize that Alex Myers is standing right behind him! He found themself back there as soon as they gave ARIA the skateboard! They assumed that ARIA had it from that point! Alex turns Daryl around as — HEADBUTT TO DARYL! ALEX HOPES OVER THE BARRICADE AS THEY TURN THEIR SIGHTS ON THE BRIT!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl Kinkade knows the situation that he is in at the moment! Alex Myers is running towards Daryl, who immediately trips on the bottom of the ramp! Alex goes right after them, stopping to get their possession on the skateboard that had rolled out of the ring! Then, Alex goes to swing the skateboard to Daryl, BUT DARYL MANAGES TO GET HIS BODY OUT OF THE WAY! DARYL BEGINS TO SCOOT OUT UP THE RAMP AS ALEX HAS NOT GIVEN UP ON THE IDEA TO ATTACK DARYL WITH THAT SKATEBOARD! THE TWO ELITISTS BEGIN TO MAKE THEIR WAY UPON THE RAMP!
Eve: Meanwhile, inside the ring, Pandora Paisley has that razor wire in her hands as she wraps it around ARIA’s head and then concludes it by wrapping the razor wire to ARIA’s mouth! THEN, SHE APPLIES THE CAMEL CLUTCH AS SHE WRENCHES THAT WIRE BACK AS ARIA IS IN SEVERE TROUBLE AT THE MOMENT! I THINK THAT PANDORA IS LOOKING TO GET A SUBMISSION VICTORY AS ARIA HAS NO WAY TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THIS SITUATION! THIS SUBMISSION IS QUITE DIFFICULT TO COUNTER! ARIA IS GASPING FOR DEAR LIFE, JUST HOPING AND PRAYING THAT SOMETHING COMES TO HER MIND AND THAT SHE’S ABLE TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THIS SITUATION!
Deadprez: We look at Alex Myers who throws that skateboard to Daryl Kinkade, but misses as it lands on the LED lights, but it was enough to cause Daryl to head to the back as Alex realizes that ARIA is in serious danger at the moment. Their heart immediately drops at the sight of Pandora Paisley having the razor wire wrapped around ARIA’s head and mouth! They go charging back into the ring as they go to slide inside the ring to help ARIA out —
ARIA: (off-mic) NO!
(This was ARIA’s battle. She wanted to be the one to end this battle on her own. She didn’t want to rely on Alex Myers to assist her in getting the job done. She wanted to do this on her own and she wasn’t going to be satisfied any other way. Meanwhile, Alex has a look of panic on their face. They can’t take all of this torture that ARIA is experience at the moment. There’s only so much that ARIA is able to take and to Alex, ARIA was at her maximum point. Alex begins to scramble and look inside the timekeeper’s area for something.)
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora Paisley is letting out a powerful scream, almost like it’s taking EVERYTHING within her to wrench that camel clutch further! ARIA continues to scream “no! “She is aware that Alex is looking for something! With that, she continues to scream “no.” At this point, she is completely begging for Alex to let her end this battle herself! She will try to find a way out of this!
(At this point, ARIA is bleeding profusely as the sharp razor wire is forming a Chelsea grin — since that’s a place in England — from the corner of her mouth and all the way up to her ears. Alex Myers continues to scramble for whatever they are scrambling for. ARIA is continuing to scream as Pandora wrenches back even more. At this point, the idea that ARIA is still responding and not faded due to the pain and blood loss is something that most people can’t believe.)
Eve: Alex Myers finds it — IT’S A WHITE TOWEL! IS ALEX GOING TO THROW IN THE TOWEL TO HELP ARIA OUT?
Deadprez: This is almost parallel to last season on Showdown! I’m not sure if most people would remember, but Alex faced Adam Lucas on Showdown last season. It was a highly competitive match up that demonstrated the resilience of Alex, but Alex had taken punishment throughout the match. But, what made ARIA throw in the towel was when Alex was not passing out or moving from the ‘Iconic’ submission move! It tore ARIA’s heart to throw in the towel for Alex! Now, Alex is experiencing the same dilemma as their girlfriend did last season!
(Alex Myers is seen holding the towel. ARIA continues to scream “NO” as she knows that Alex is looking to do. Alex looks at the towel and then, ARIA. The razor wire was piercing through the corners of her lips as blood continued to trickle down and now starts to pour out more as Pandora screams and wrenches back even more. With that, Alex made their decision.)
(Alex Myers throws in the towel inside the ring as the referee was able to get a good look at it.)
Referee: (off-mic) THAT’S IT! RING THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The referee of the match goes over to Gina Romano and tells her what’s going on and how to deliver the news.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…DUE TO ALEX MYERS THROWING IN THE TOWEL IN BEHALF OF ARIA…THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH IS…PANDORA PAISLEY!!!!!!
(‘Just Stop’ begins to blast through the speakers as Pandora Paisley releases the camel clutch. ARIA, not having the strength to sit herself up, collapses to the ground and remains completely motionless. The crowd is completely speechless, not knowing how to respond to the entire thing. Pandora is more than proud of herself as she sees that Alex Myers slides into the ring and races to their girlfriend’s aid.)
Gavin Kirkland: I am completely speechless over the entire thing. Yes, I am so proud of my sexy Hellcat for pulling this off. Another amazing star-making performance from the young woman from Blackpool, England! But my heart kind of breaks for ARIA, who fought with EVERYTHING in this match! She refused to go down without a fight! She was hoping that something would click to get herself out of the mess, but nothing ever did!
Eve: Pandora Paisley played to the emotions of ARIA, using Nathan as a way to get inside her head. It was thanks to that slight moment of hesitation that Pandora managed to capitalize and lock in that camel clutch!
(The camera pans to Alex Myers placing their forehead on the back of ARIA’s head. Alex feels awful about what they did, but it was all to protect ARIA at the end of the day. The two of them have this moment with each other as Pandora Paisley begins to make her way up the ramp, but collapses down. Despite the victory, that match took a lot of energy out of her. Ruler rushes back to the ring to check on his tag team partner and their lover. The crowd has completely begun to boo the Brit before being joined by Halsey Neel and Daryl Kinkade, who each have an arm wrapped on the back of their neck as they help Pandora up. The three Brits are more than proud of the work they’ve done tonight.)
Deadprez: Halsey Neel and Daryl Kinkade finding themselves involved shouldn’t be surprising. This was nothing more than an effective plan with the three of them and it gave Pandora Paisley the victory! Pandora once again demonstrated that the sky’s the limit for her. ARIA showed a ton of heart, but it was due to Alex’s love for her that put a stop to this match.
Gavin Kirkland: I’m intrigued on how Halsey Neel versus Alex Myers is going to go down on Voltage tomorrow night! I don’t think this business is finished with all of these parties involved! But, I believe that’s all the time we have on this edition of Showdown! Signing off on behalf of Eve and Deadprez, I am Gavin Kirkland! Goodnight from Chicago!
(The camera pans to Alex Myers who has ARIA’s head buried into their lap. Alex is looking at The British Invasion and Daryl Kinkade with a death glare. Meanwhile, we see Pandora Paisley with a slight grin on her bloody face, Halsey Neel and Daryl Kinkade staring at those three from the ring as they stand tall once more as the scene fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
