(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of the show last week. Elysium and the British Invasion have a talk between each other, reaffirming that no matter what happens in the match, they will all still have respect for the other. In the opening match, Elysium defeated The Hustler’s Alliance as Elysium stared down the British Invasion after the match. Mikaela Street announces the people from Showdown joining the Grand Rampage match, as Sorn comes out and calls out the people joining, with Nikki Kimura, Jadeite and Shio Corin coming out, as a brawl breaks out between all four. Shio Corin defeats Achaia Ariti by count-out. Roberto is currently in the dumps talking with Kyra Phillips as Miku comes out to insult him and make fun of him. Donovan Duke and SOSA Henderson have their contract signing, with SOSA proclaiming that he is ready to become world champion again while Donovan tells him he will never become world champion while he has the title, Silas attacks SOSA from behind with Donovan beating him down and standing tall. Auburn Ware and Grace de Luca are able to beat Jadeite and Nikki Kimura, as Grace takes the chance to attack Auburn after the match as Nikki comes back to save Auburn but to no avail with Grace escaping. Milli comes out, reassuring the crowd to not be angry as she knows she has to keep going and look forward despite the setbacks, so she decides to call out Silas World, Harper and Brianna come out, mocking Milli after her loss, as then they beat her down with Veena later coming out to save her. Even though Silas believes he thinks he has Alana Starr on her side, Alana answers no to him, that she won’t be bought by him. And in the main event, after some chaos and with the help of Veena, Cody Maverick is able to retain the National Elite Championship against Harper Lee, and after Milli and the Hustler’s Alliance come out to even the odds, they all stand stall.)
(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 3A Arena in Dublin, Ireland. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators start talking.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!
Deadprez: WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY IN THE GO-HOME SHOW FOR GRAND RAMPAGE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! AS WE HEAD NOW WITHOUT STOPPING TO THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: WHILE TONIGHT WE HAVE… no matches.
Eve: But we will catch up with all of the Showdown roster to see their thoughts and feelings heading into such an important night, and so first, let’s see the Showdown participants on the Grand Rampage match!
(VKL – Rain hits to cheers from the crowd!!!)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… Please welcome at this time… SORNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
(Sorn makes his way down to the ring and takes a microphone from Gina Romano.)
Eve: Sorn is in the Grand Rampage match and you have to imagine that he is going to give it his all to win it.
Deadprez: He is one of the most promising young athletes we have here on Showdown. I am hyped to see what he can do. Whether he wins it or not it will be a true test for his abilities.
Sorn: So as you all may be aware of by now, I am going to be in the Grand Rampage match this year!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Sorn: I am excited about it as well. It will be a great opportunity to compete! It will be a great opportunity to show this whole company why I am the Future Ace!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Sorn: I know that I can go out there… but I don’t just know that. I KNOW I CAN WIN TOO! And at Gr-
(Olé by The Bouncing Souls hits to more cheers from the crowd.)
Eve: What the? Ryan Joeseph Wilson? What is he doing out here??
(Ryan Joseph Wilson begins to make his way down to the ring with a microphone.)
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Bro.. BroBroBroBroBro!
Sorn: Bro?
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Sit down bro!
Sorn: ???
Ryan Joseph Wilson: I mean I get that you have ambition… But come on…
Sorn: Are you really out here hating right now?
Ryan Joseph Wilson: I am just being real-
Sorn: Nah I am not going to take that from you. Shut the fuck up you are a fucking loser. Get the hell out of here!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: …
Sorn: In fact if anyone else wants to challenge my claim… I welcome that shit. I AM GOING TO WIN THE GRAND RAMPAGE AND NONE OF YOU CAN STOP ME!!!
(Lowlife Princess by BIBI hits as the crowd boos loudly.)
Miku Sakai: Ummm really? Who even are you people? Sorn? I thought I already ran you off Showdown.
Sorn: No I am sti-
Miku Sakai: Don’t care! Didn’t ask!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Miku Sakai: What both of you idiots don’t understand is that I am THAT BITCH! You motherfuckers are just in the way of me finally winning a Grand Rampage match and getting my title shot. Two things that should have happened a long long time ago! I have been the best wrestler on this brand for the longest but I don’t get the respect I deserve. So I am going to eliminate all of you and Pain for Pride is going to be all about ME! MIKU FUCKING SAKAI!!! HAHAHAHA-
(‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine & Benny the Butcher hits as the crowd erupts into cheers!!!)
Deadprez: Oh yeah man! Business has just picked up! The National Elite Champion is here!
Cody Maverick: You know I have been hearing the word loser thrown around a lot out here. But when it comes to winning matches here on Showdown you need look no further than the Sin City Superstar!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Cody Maverick: I am fresh off defending my National Elite Championship last week against Harper Lee and the way I see it nobody on this brand has what it takes to hold me down any longer! And you might think that I have my hands full. But I got two hands! So I see no reason why I shouldn’t have two championships! I look down in that ring and I see a whole lot of losers. I see you Sorn and you look like nothing more than a clown. So go fetch the facepaint and the wig and put it on and embrace the role that life has given you! As for you Miku, you have been doing nothing but whining and crying and I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we are sick and tired of it! As for you Ryan-
(Vroom by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price hits to cheers again from the crowd.)
Nikki Kimura: You know Cody you might be a champion right now… but I have been a champion before too! I know what it is like to be a champion. I know what it is like to win the big one! So why should Grand Rampage be any different? People have been saying for the longest since I lost my Specialists Championship that that was just the beginning. That Nikki Kimura can achieve so much more! And I am going to prove all of my friends and family and fans right about me! And not to mention what a great way to throw my success back into the face of Silas Mason by forcing him to watch ME in the main event of Pain for Pride!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Phenomenal’ by Eminem hits!!!)
Shio Corin: Umm hi you guys. I’m new here.
Nikki Kimura: ???
Shio Corin: But it’s whatever. I’m in the Grand Rampage too! And it’s going to be the biggest upset of all time!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh nah there is no way…
Shio Corin: Keep hatin’! Keep doubtin’! It only fuels me!
(Roberto De La Rosa comes walking out to the stage as everyone stares at him expecting him to say something.)
Roberto De La Rosa: …
Eve: What the hell is he doing out here?
Shio Corin: Did you need something?
Roberto De La Rosa: Come on y’all. I’m going to win this okay cabrones?
Shio Corin: Are you sure about that?
Roberto De La Rosa: Si. Don’t look at me like that gringo.
(Everyone is staring at Roberto De La Rosa wondering what he is even doing out here.)
Roberto De La Rosa: ??? You all are doubting on Mexico’s Sav-
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac hits as the crowd explodes into cheers. TLA makes his way down to the ring which has filled up with all eight Grand Rampage competitors from Showdown.)
TLA: Orale Dublin! You know that we out here in Dublin and we in the right place cuz at Grand Rampage y’all know that a vato fixin’ to get that DUB!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Miku Sakai: You are really going to be cheering that? Damn standards have sure fallen. Why would you cheer someone who lost to Elysium last week?
Sorn: That’s what I am talking about. The Hustler’s Alliance couldn’t get the job done last week why would they think that they could win in the Grand Rampage?
TLA: Oh nah we got some haters out here for real now. The Hustler’s Alliance is 4 life. We got each other’s backs and we goin’ all the way! Droppin’ every opp! Demasiados pendejos…
Ryan Joseph Wilson: You are one to talk Sorn. Didn’t you lose your match to Miku Sakai just a few weeks ago? And you want to be the first one to come out here and call someone a loser?
Cody Maverick: You all can sort this out among yourselves. There is only one real winner around here on Showdown. And it is the Sin City Superstar!
(Cody Maverick holds up the National Elite Championship high in the air but Nikki Kimura does a jumping spin kick and knocks it out of his hands.)
Cody Maverick: The fuck?!?
Nikki Kimura: Shut the hell up you aren’t the only one who has had gold around here! We will see how long it lasts!
Roberto De La Rosa: I used to be the Hardcore Champion myself.
(Shio Corin puts his arm around Roberto’s shoulder.)
Shio Corin: Sure you did, buddy. Sure you did.
(Roberto De La Rosa shoves Shio off him looking annoyed at being touched.)
TLA: Damn. What is with all of the hostility amigos? This is Showdown we need to all be united as one locker room just like me and mi hermano Ryan and work together to put on them finest luchas. This is going to be my ninth Grand Rampage match and I be looking forward to sharing the ring with all y’all even if imma eliminate you all with the quickness. Fuck yo shit up y’all think you can step to La Pantera Sexual in that ring.
Miku Sakai: That’s not something to brag about at all. You’ve been in the Grand Rampage match 9 times and haven’t won it? You suck so bad!
Sorn: I mean has anyone here won a Grand Rampage match?
Shio Corin: No but this is my first time and I am pretty confident that I am going to be able to win it…
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Bro you have even less of a chance of winning this than Roberto…
Roberto De La Rosa: Why he say fuck me for?!?
TLA: You know you mi hermano and all Ryan but why you goin’ after my homie Roberto like that dawg?
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Bro I thought you hated him. He’s legit still stealing your moves… Just like he stole your Hardcore Championship…
TLA: He is?!?
(TLA turns on Roberto De La Rosa who moves away from him behind Cody Maverick.)
Nikki Kimura: Speaking of titles being stolen… I think we all need to make sure whoever wins the Grand Rampage delivers a big FUCK YOU to Silas World! They have done their best to steal this entire brand out from under all of us!
Shio Corin: I just got here so I don’t really know what this place was like before Silas World. Are you saying they are bad people? They seem chill to me…
Miku Sakai: Don’t listen to Nikki. She doesn’t care about Showdown and is only salty because she lost her title to Silas World completely clean! We need to be focused on the real fuckery going on around here like the fact that I have not been given my due and proper respect as the face of this brand.
Cody Maverick: Maybe you would be the face of this brand if you were a reigning and defending champion like mwah! Unfortunately not all are cut out to be champions.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: And what is that supposed to mean?!? I have done just fine without a championship for many years and if you want to talk about experience in the Grand Rampage match then look no further. I have been in this match many times just like TLA and I’d like to think I know what I am doing.
Sorn: Yes but just like him you haven’t won it either.
TLA: I’m pretty sure the only person in this match who has won it is that pasty Mini-Estrella Jake Smith.
(The entire group goes silent and stops arguing for a minute.)
All: Well fuck him. Obviously he can’t win again. Nah no way is that pendejo winning again. Fuck that shit. How is he in the match again? Nobody likes him. He looks anorexic tho… Is he sick or something? I think he has cancer…
TLA: See I knew that we could find some common ground.
Shio Corin: Yes TLA. Just like the common ground you and everyone else here will be finding when I throw you out the ring to the ground at Grand Rampage!
(The entire group turns around to look at Shio Corin.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Callate pendejo. Fuck you said?
Shio Corin: ???
(Everyone in the ring swarms around Shio Corin and lifts him up in the air as he flails and writhes in the ring.)
Shio Corin: NO! PUT ME DOWN! I DIDN’T EVEN GET TO RAP YET…
(The Showdown Grand Rampage competitors all toss Shio Corin over the top rope and he crashes to the outside as the crowd cheers loudly. Shio throws a fit outside the ring before storming up the ramp.)
TLA: WE BE DOIN’ BIG BUSINESS OUT HERE! AIN’T NO FUCKIN’ WITH THE BLUE BRAND BIG VATO DOIN’ BIG THANGS YOU KNOW WE OUTSI-
(Suddenly Miku Sakai and Roberto De La Rosa jump TLA from behind and try to throw him over the top rope!!!)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Eve: And the microphones all drop to the floor as all hell has broken loose! TLA didn’t get thrown over the top rope as Ryan Joseph Wilson rushed in to attack Miku and Roberto!
Deadprez: But Sorn just attacked Ryan from behind with a low blow! Cody Maverick and Nikki Kimura are punching each other out in the corner!!!
Eve: And now Roberto De La Rosa and Miku Sakai are double teaming TLA and stomping him out in the corner! Roberto grabs TLA and pulls him up! Roberto is putting TLA in position!!!
Eve: MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The disrespect! Roberto hitting TLA with the move that has been his finisher since the Bush Administration!
Deadprez: NO! TLA counters it and flips Roberto De La Rosa over his head!!! Roberto pulls himself up on the ropes!!!
Eve: TLA charges in with a Dropsault kicking Roberto over the top rope!!!!
Deadprez: Roberto De La Rosa crashes to the floor and he is ragin’!
Eve: But Roberto grabs the leg of TLA from under the bottom rope! No wait look out! Miku Sakai just got leveled by Cody Maverick who came charging in! And now Ryan Wilson is helping TLA as they grab Miku and throw her down to the mat with a Double Flapjack! The Hustler’s Alliance is rolling! But wait look out not again!!! Sorn from behind with a Low Blow on Ryan Wilson!
Deadprez: Bu Nikki Kimura stopped him! Nikki grabs Sorn and stops him from hitting Ryan!!! TLA and Ryan drop Sorn with a Double Superkick!
Eve: Nikki Kimura picks Sorn up and throws him over the top rope!!! But Sorn holds on!!! TLA and Ryan grab Sorn and are trying to knock him off but he is holding on for dear life!
Gavin Kirkland: This isn’t even a real match… These mfs are acting like it is already the Grand Rampage…
Deadprez: It’s for the bragging rights Gavin! You wouldn’t understand!
Eve: Wait look out!!! Sorn jabs TLA and Ryan in the eyes as they fall back! Sorn back in the ri-
Deadprez: KAMIGOYE!!! OUTTA NOWHERE!!!
Eve: Nikki Kimura just hit the Kamigoye on Sorn and sent him flying over the top rope as soon as he stepped back in the ring! Sorn has been eliminated by Nikki!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Again I must point out nobody has been eliminated… We should probably call security…
Eve: WAIT NO!
Deadprez: MIKU SAKAI SNEAKS UP FROM BEHIND NIKKI KIMURA AND FLIPS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE AS WELL!!! NIKKI IS OUT OF HERE!!!
Eve: Miku Sakai with a cheap shot in eliminating Nikki Kimura but if this was the actual Grand Rampage that would be perfectly legal! Nikki just kicked the barricade in frustration as she knows she let her guard down!
Deadprez: But TLA and Ryan now ganging up on Miku Sakai! Cody Maverick joins in as well as Miku falls back into the corner realizing that this is a three on one situation!
Eve: Suddenly Miku Sakai bails out of the ring under the bottom rope! She’s fleeing for it!
Eve: No! Cody Maverick caught her by the hair! She’s not getting away that easily!
Gavin Kirkland: No! Leave my poor Miku alone! She did nothing wrong!
Deadprez: Cody Maverick drops Miku Sakai with the Sin City Stunner! He then throws her to TLA who drops her with a Mexican Destroyer! He then picks up her motionless unconscious corpse and throws it to Ryan Wilson who hits the Mic Drop! Miku is deceased!!!
Eve: And now Cody picks Miku up and throws her over the top rope to a loud pop from the crowd!
Deadprez: This crowd might be divided on who they want to win the Grand Rampage but I think it is safe to say none of them want Miku Sakai to win it!
Eve: But now we are down to only three remaining! And things have gotten interesting now as these three were working together before but now I think the alignments are starting to shift!
Deadprez: Cody Maverick is facing down against both members of The Hustler’s Alliance as TLA and Ryan Wilson move in on him! Ryan charges in with a Clothesline! But Cody moves out of the way!!! Cody goes for a Sin City Stunner on Ryan! But TLA jumps him from behind and connects with a Zig Zag! TLA pulls Cody back up as he and Ryan are getting Cody in position…
Eve: THE MEXI-CANADIAN DESTROYER CONNECTS!!! The double team Destroyer just laid out Cody Maverick as Ryan and TLA grab him and toss him over the top rope!!!
Gavin Kirkland: CODY MAVERICK HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!! THE HUSTLER’S ALLIANCE DID IT! THEY ARE GOING TO PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!
Eve: This isn’t the actual Grand Rampage Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: … THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN FUCKING TRYNA SAY!!!
Eve: Well we saw everyone fight hard but it looks like the veterans won out in the end! The Hustler’s Alliance has proven that they can handle themselves in the Grand Rampage and everyone who was tossed over is going to have to do some extra preparation ahead of the Grand Rampage match.
Deadprez: It’s really anyone’s game and I could see any of these great talents from Showdown winning it. Not to mention the great talent from the other brands as well. But I feel like this is Showdown’s year…
Gavin Kirkland: It’s going to take a lot of work and determination to-
Eve: WHAT THE HELL?!?!
(Suddenly Ryan Wilson runs up from behind on TLA and grabs him by the leg flipping him up and over the top rope to knock him to the outside!!!!)
Deadprez: OH HELL! What just happened?!!
(The crowd gives off a mixed reaction as TLA sits up outside the ring and looks up into the ring in confusion.)
Eve: Ryan Wilson just made a declaration that at the Grand Rampage it is every man for himself! Not even his own partner is safe!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS A BETRAYAL OF EPIC PROPORTIONS! THE HUSTLER’S ALLIANCE HAS FALLEN APART BEFORE OUR EYES!!! WHY RYAN WHY?!?!
(TLA gets up outside the ring and points at Ryan in the ring with a defiant look on his face as Olé by The Bouncing Souls hits!!!)
Eve: Tonight Ryan Wilson made a statement and-
Deadprez: Wait why is TLA pointing at…
(Suddenly all of the “eliminated” wrestlers rush into the ring at the same time to go after Ryan.)
Deadprez: Well I guess this was to be expected since it’s not an actual Grand Rampage match! All hell has broken loose and these wrestlers are brawling to the very end!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson is getting beat down by like seven dudes! This is a gang assault!
(Security is shown flooding out from backstage and tearing the wrestlers apart and dragging them away from each other.)
Eve: I have no idea what’s going to happen at Grand Rampage but if tonight is any indication it could be absolutely anything and everything!
(The camera cuts to a commercial for broth oatmeal featuring Xander Payne.)
( The camera cuts to the backstage interview area where Kyra Phillips stands with Auburn Ware, who is clearly still seething from the events of last week. Auburn’s arms are crossed, her jaw tight, and there’s fire in her eyes as she glares directly into the camera. )
Kyra Phillips: “I am joined by the Unique Opportunity Winner, Auburn Ware. Auburn, you are facing Grace De Luca with your Unique Opportunity on the line at Grand Rampage. Last week, you got to team with her which you picked up the win. But she ended up cheap shooting you, leaving you on the mat. Tonight, I think we all want to know what’s going through your mind right now. With Grace in your path, looking to steal away that opportunity. This is quite the problem to have, especially heading towards Pain for Pride.”
( Auburn exhales, shaking her head before she takes the mic from Kyra without hesitation. )
Auburn Ware: “You wanna know what I think? I am thinking about moving forward, moving past this and moving on to bigger things as we are trucking through Pain for Pride season. Because that’s what I do, I win and keep moving forward. You know who doesn’t win? You know who doesn’t deserve to even be in the same breath as me? Grace De Luca. That little worm. That snake. She slithers around, acting like she’s some mastermind, but really? She’s a joke. In that match, I had to bail her out multiple times in order for her to even have a chance in that match. She was too scared to even step foot in that ring, but I forced her to do her damn job. Yet, she wants to claim that she didn’t need me. A bunch of crap from De Luca.”
( Auburn scoffs. )
Auburn Ware: “Grace thinks she’s smart, untouchable, right? She thinks she’s going to win MY Opportunity and make a name for herself. No. She’s an idiot. This Opportunity? This stays with me! She had her shot, she had her chance, and guess what? She failed. Just like she always does. Now? Now she’s desperate. She wants to weasel her way back in, try and take something that belongs to me? Well she’s going to have to do it, over my dead body.”
Grace De Luca (off screen): “Oh that can be arranged.”
( Before Auburn can say another word, Grace’s annoying laugh echoes through the hallway. The camera whips to reveal Grace De Luca, walking in with an amused smirk plastered across her face. )
Grace De Luca: “You are so boring, Auburn. I mean no wonder it took this long for anybody to notice you. All this talking, all this ‘I deserve this’ nonsense, it’s embarrassing and cringe. You wanna talk about that opportunity staying with you? Sweetheart, that opportunity was mine from the beginning, and you know it. The only reason you even have it right now is because you lucked into it. You won by accident. That’s right, I don’t know what prayer you made before the match but this time. It won’t work again. Cause at Grand Rampage, I fix the biggest travesty that has happened in this company. Auburn Ware, winning the Unique Opportunity. It’s like I have a Time Machine, set back to the moment everything went wrong and I finally put us back on course to the RIGHT timeline.”
( Auburn clenches her fists. )
Auburn Ware: “Accident? You think I won by accident? Oh, that’s cute, Grace. Real cute. There are no accidents over here sweetheart, I won this for one reason and one reason only. Because I am BETTER than you. I always have and always will be. Your delusions don’t do anything but show how much of an idiot you are.”
Grace De Luca: “OH SPARE ME! What I said is the truth and you know it! That’s why you’re so mad at what I have to say, because you want everyone to think that you won off your “hard work” and “mindset”. When in reality, some fat loser from section H could have been in your position and won it! It is unfair for someone as talented and beautiful as me, to take such a loss from you. Don’t worry though, I’ll fix your little mistake. I’ll take back what’s mine and this time. It won’t be on ACCIDENT.”
(Auburn takes a step right up into Grace’s face, their foreheads almost touching. )
Auburn Ware: “How about we forget Grand Rampage, Grace. Come and try to take it from me, right now while we are standing in front of each other. Because let me tell you something, I’m not the kind of person who jumps people from behind. That’s your style, not mine.”
( Grace placing a hand on her chest, almost mockingly clutching her pearls. )
Grace De Luca: “Oh? No sneak attacks? That’s so noble of you, Auburn. You know what? I’ll let you go for now, I would rather fight you at Grand Rampage.”
Auburn Ware: “I’d rather not.”
( Grace barely gets the words out before Auburn snaps. She throws the first punch, connecting right with Grace’s jaw. Grace stumbles back, but quickly regains her footing and lunges forward, tackling Auburn into the backdrop. The two women throw wild fists, gripping at each other’s hair, slamming each other against the walls! )
( Officials and backstage personnel rush in, prying the two apart, but Auburn and Grace are both relentless, trying to break free to get at each other again. Auburn is screaming, her eyes locked onto Grace, while Grace just laughs through the struggle, taunting her from a distance. )
Grace De Luca: “This isn’t over, Auburn! Not even close! At Grand Rampage, I TAKE MY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY! MINE! ”
( Auburn struggles against the officials, pointing directly at Grace. )
Auburn Ware: “You wanna take this from me? Fine! But when I put you down, I better not hear your mouth EVER AGAIN! GRAND RAMPAGE, I’M SHUTTING YOU UP FOR GOOD!”
( The camera lingers on the chaotic scene, Auburn breathing heavily, Grace smirking before cutting to commercial. )
(The flashback video begins of Grand Rampage Rewind 2024.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TORNADO TAG INFERNO MATCH!
(The crowd begins to roar)
Gina Romano: THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS BY SETTING ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS ON FIRE!
(Birds With Broken Wings – Ben Caplan plays and the chorus of boos come raining down on Solomon Stane as he walks out and scans the stadium then makes his way down the ramp paying no attention to the negative reaction in any way just focused on the task at hand tonight.)
(His theme dies down for a few moments before ‘Living Dead Girl’ by Rob Zombie plays and once again the crowd boos heavily as Caroline walks out to a meteor of boos with a small grin on her face making her way down the ramp meeting with Solomon at ringside to which they nod at one another before entering.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST….AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 375 POUNDS….”YOUR SAVIOR”….SOLLOMMOONNN STTAANNNE!! AND “THE QUEEN OF SHADOWS”…..CARRROLLIINNNE!!!!!!
Eve: Here come two individuals who I don’t think have any remorse for anything they do. You would think after crucifying both opponents tonight over the past few months would have that, but no. They plan solely tonight on beating two of the biggest stars in this industry and making a name while both are looking to avenge some past demons here tonight and with them together as a unit, I see that as a huge mountain to climb.
(Be Legendary – Pop Evil blades as the crowd roars at Adam Lucas who comes out wearing an all white attire while he is still bandaged up from that brutal attack a few weeks ago.)
(His theme dies down as he awaits at the top of the stage for his wife as “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen plays and the crowd roars again as Dr. Bethany Blue is matching with Adam. She has both of her hands still wrapped up. Both of them just gave a serious look of intensity on their faces making their way to the ring side by side.)
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS…..AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 356 POUNDS…..DRRR. BETHANNYYY BLUEEEEE AND “THE NEXT LEVEL”…..ADAAMMMM LUUUCCAASSSS!!!
Eve: We already said, this is all personal and you can see it from the looks on their faces tonight. Their lives have been made hell for several months now and this is the moment you know they have been waiting for and you can bet I wouldn’t wanna be in the ring with them. They are two of the best our industry has to offer for a reason and the husband and wife duo look to get some closure and close this dark chapter of their lives with a win here tonight.
Deadprez: You gotta take it into factor though that NEITHER of them are one hundred percent after the stuff Caroline and Solomon have pulled on them in recent weeks.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Eve: All four of them are just staring at one another here as they just want to tear each other apart but the referee steps between them begging to wait for him to give the signal to begin fighting….
(The stadium turns to an orange glow as fire shoots up all around the ringside area above the barricade in front of the glass protecting the fans from the flames.)
Eve: Man you can feel the heat from here as…OH THE REFEREE GAVE THE SIGNAL TO START AND WE’RE NOT WASTING ANY TIME RIGHT OUT OF THE GATES! Solomon runs and delivers a big boot to the face of Adam as his attention was distracted from the flames shooting up for a brief second as Solomon takes full advantage of that window with the big boot and it drives him out of the ring!
Deadprez: Bethany lunges at Solomon right away to deliver a forearm shot to the face thinking that was pretty much a cheap shot, but Caroline intercepts her hand! AND CAROLINE DELIVERS A HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL OF BETHANY! AND THEN ANOTHER HEADBUTT! AND THEN A THIRD ONE! Bethany stumbles back into the corner, AND CAROLINE LIKE A WOMAN POSSESSED BEGINS HAMMERING AWAY AT HER FACE WITH PUNCHES BEFORE TRYING TO CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF HER!
Gavin Kirkland: Bethany getting a bit overwhelmed in the early goings while the referee is powerless to stop it given the match we are in as we look over here next to us as Solomon is going to work delivering shots to the back of Adam’s neck here at ringside trying to make sure he doesn’t get up because everybody knows that he’s not one hundred percent right now! Solomon looks at those flames near the barricade and has a smile come across his face before grabbing Adam by the head and driving him face first off the Spanish announce desk! AND NOW SOLOMON PICKS HIM UP AND DRIVES HIM SPINE FIRST INTO THE EDGE OF THE RING APRON! AND THEN SOLOMON THROWS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS TAKING HIM OUT OF THE EQUATION FOR THE TIME BEING! Adam’s body is still in agony from Voltage two weeks back and can barely move it seems and I think Solomon game planning for that taking full advantage of it.
Eve: Meanwhile back inside the ring Caroline runs to the opposite corner and runs full speed at Bethany – BUT BETHANY STOPS HER IN HER TRACKS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! AND NOW IT’S BETHANY WHO’S LIKE A WOMAN POSSESSED AS SHE GOES TO TOWN WITH REPETITIVE ELBOW STRIKES TO THE FACE ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE RING BECAUSE OF IT BEING DIFFICULT TO USE HER HANDS THANKS TO CAROLINE AND SOLOMON CRUCIFYING HER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ON VOLTAGE! SHE KEEPS GOING UNTIL CAROLINE FALLS INTO THE CORNER AND BETHANY LOOKS TO BE IN FULL CONTROL HERE –
Deadprez: BUT SOLOMON PUTS A STOP TO THAT RAMMING INTO BETHANY FROM BEHIND HITTING HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! And right now is not a good spot to be in for the Doctor as she is stuck in a two on one situation for the time being as Caroline steps out of the corner with her and Solomon stomping the absolute life out of Bethany – AND NOW THEY BEGIN STOMPING ON HER VERY BADLY WOUNDED HANDS THAT ARE WRAPPED UP HEAVILY. Solomon and Caroline look to be communicating as he motions for her to go up top, and UH OH! SOLOMON USES HIS FULL WEIGHT STANDING ON THE ANKLES OF BETHANY PREVENTING HER FROM GOING ANYWHERE AS CAROLINE GOES UP TO THE TOP ROPE….”WIDOW SPLASH” TO THE UPPER BODY OF BETHANY!! Bethany and Adam really shouldn’t be competing in their conditions as Caroline and Solomon are taking full advantage of that….AND WHAT THE?
(Caroline and him communicate and she motions for him to grab something to which he smiles happily getting out of the ring to do so.)
Eve: OH MY GOD!! SOLOMON PULLS OUT THAT CROSS FROM THE UNDER THE RING!!! BETHANY’S HANDS ARE ALREADY DAMAGED ENOUGH FROM THE FIRST TIME!! Solomon put Adam on it at Road to Redemption then the two of them did it to Bethany a few weeks back on Voltage which caused injuries she’s still suffering from right now.
Deadprez: Solomon slides it into the ring and….CAROLINE IS UNWRAPPING THE BANDAGES FROM BETHANY HANDS BEFORE ROLLING HER ONTO THE CROSS! You can’t want a two on one advantage that badly to do this again to her. SOLOMON SLIDES IN THE RING AND PULLS OUT ONE OF THE STAKES, THEY CAN’T DO THIS AGAIN! NO!!!!
Eve: LOOK!! ADAM GRABS THAT STAKE OUT OF SOLOMON’S HAND FROM BEHIND AND REPEATEDLY DRIVES IT INTO THE BACK OF HIS SHOULDER!!! :damn: :damn: ADAM CAN’T BE STOPPED AS SOLOMON SCREAMS IN ABSOLUTE AGONY TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM HIM BEFORE JUMPING THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE COLLAPSING ON THE FLOOR AS BLOOD STARTS TO FLOW OUT FROM THE BACK OF HIS SHOULDER!!
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline sneaks around Adam knowing how dangerous it would be to step up to him in his current state swinging a stake like a mad man….AND CAROLINE JUMPS ON ADAM’S BACK TRYING TO CLAW AT HIS EYES THEN CHOKE HIM….BUT ADAM OUT OF ADRENALINE GRABS HER BY THE HAIR AND FLIPS HER FORWARD ON HER BACK! Caroline knows that she is in a very bad situation right now with Adam’s state of mind…..ADAM SWINGS THE STAKE AT CAROLINE IN THE GROUND NOW….BUT CAROLINE BARELY ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE KICKING IT OUT OF HIS HANDS! CAROLINE TAKES A DEEP BREATH BEFORE SHE QUICKLY GETS UP AND RUNS AT HIM WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM –
Eve: BUT ADAM SIDESTEPS AND BETHANY FROM THE GROUND PICKS UP THE CROSS AND SWINGS IT HITTING CAROLINE RIGHT IN THE FACE!! AND CAROLINE BEGINS TO DRIP BLOOD FROM HER NOSE BEFORE DROPPING DOWN TO BOTH OF HER KNEES….AND BETHANY REACHES DOWN GETTING SOME OF THAT BLOOD ON HER HAND THEN RUBBING IT ACROSS HER CHEST! Adam checks on his wife to make sure she’s okay.
Dr. Bethany Blue: (no mic) I’m fine, I’m fine, I got this!
Deadprez: Adam nods at his wife trusting her word before exiting the ring to focus on Solomon and get him.out if the picture as Bethan now walks over to that cross and stares at it for a second before she out of anger and strength rips off a piece of the cross and hovers above her former protege twirling that weapon…..AND BETHANY PUTS THE PIECE OF THE CROSS ON CAROLINE’S THROAT AND BEGINS CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HER AS THE BLOODY FACE OF CAROLINE IS STRUGGLING FOR AIR AND BETHANY IS USING EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH IN CHOKING HER!!
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off mic) YOU MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE FUCKING WITH ME AND MY HUSBAND!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!!! YOU’RE GONNA PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!!
Eve: Bethany looks like she may be enjoying this a little too much with the screaming and how hard she was pulling! BETHANY FINALLY LETS GO AFTERBWHAT FELT LIKE A WHOLE MINUTE AS CAROLINE’S FACE IS ALMOST PURPLE! BETHANY USES THE STICK OFF THE CROSS AND WHIPS IT ACROSS THE BACK OF HER NOW REPEATEDLY!!! BETHANY HAS NOTHING BUT REVENGE ON HER MIND RIGHT NOW AS SHE THEN TOSSES IT ASIDE AND LOOKS TO THE OUTSIDE AT ADAM WHO EYES SOLOMON NEAR THE TIMEKEEPER’S AREA TRYING TO TEND TO HIS STAB WOUNDS BLEEDING FROM HIS SHOULDER – AND ADAM NODS AT BETHANY BEFORE SHE NODS BACK AS ADAM NOW –
*CRASH!*
Deadprez: HOLY SHIT!!!! ADAM SPEARS HIM THROUGH THE TIMEKEEPER’S WALL AREA!!! ADAM SPEARED HIM THROUGH THE ONLY PLACE AT RINGSIDE THAT’S NOT ON FIRE!
(Instant replay of Adam spearing a bleeding from the shoulder of Solomon through the timekeeper’s area.)
Gavin Kirkland: Now it’s Bethany who checks on Adam much like he already did to her knowing that he’s not a hundred percent getting out of the ring and pulls him from the wreckage. She helps him stand up as the husband and wife duo both stand more hurt than they should be in the beginning stages of a match.
Adam Lucas: (off mic) I’m fine, I’m good. Let’s just go and finish this!
Eve: Bethany nods at her husband as Adam pulls Solomon from the wreckage and now it’s a two on one situation with Adam and Bethany, and you just know they have been waiting for this type of moment for everything Solomon has put them through over the past several months.
Deadprez: BETHANY AND ADAM BEGIN HAMMERING AWAY AT HIM WITH THE DOUBLE TEAM AS SOLOMON IS BARELY ABLE TO STAND DROPPING DOWN TO A KNEE TRYING HIS BEST TO COVER UP BUT IT IS HAVING LITTLE TO NO EFFECT! Adam looks to drag him over to the flames…BUT BETHANY TELLS HIM TO WAIT A SECOND! I DON’T THINK BETHANY’S DONE WITH HER REVENGE AS SHE BACKS UP AND PULLS OUT A BARBED WIRE WRAPPED OTOSCOPE FROM UNDER THE RING!!
Eve: Bethany has that grin on her face as Adam holds him up while he cracks a grin on his face as well – THEN SHE HITS HIM IN THE STOMACH WITH THE BARBED WIRE OTOSCOPE AS HARD AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN WHILE SOLOMON DROPS TO A KNEE – AND BETHANY HOLDS THE BARBED WIRE WRAPPED WEAPON AGAINST HIS FACE BEFORE RUNNING IT UP AND DOWN!!!! Now it’s Solomon who’s bleeding from the face as Bethany tosses the otoscope to the side clearly satisfied with her handiwork…ADAM AND BETHANY NOW DRAG HIM OVER TO THE FLAMES LOOKING TO END THIS QUICKLY AND GO HOME!! SOLOMON IS TRYING TO FIGHT BUT DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TO STRENGTH TO FEND OFF BOTH AT THE SAME TIME AND THEY HOLD HIM UP TO THE FIRE AS YOU CAN HEAR SOLOMON SCREAMING –
Deadprez: CAROLINE GRABS THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER FROM ONE OF THE SAFETY FIREFIGHTERS AT THE RAMP AND RUNS UP BESIDE THEM AND PUTS THE FIRE OUT RIGHT BEHIND SOLOMON SAVING THE MATCH!!
Eve: Caroline knew he was likely going through that fire whether she intervened or not and had to act quickly there so that was done smart on the fly thinking. Solomon falls back into the safety glass just after the fire in that area was put out as both Adam and Bethany stumble backwards both coughing a bit from the fire extinguisher being sprayed right near them….
Deadprez: AND THEN CAROLINE LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT AS SHE POINTS THE EXTINGUISHER AND SPRAYS IT INTO THE FACE OF ADAM BLINDING HIM BEFORE RUNNING AND RAMMING THE EXTINGUISHER INTO HIS FACE!!! Caroline takes Adam out of the picture as Bethany can’t see for the time being….AND CAROLINE RAMS THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER INTO THE BACK OF HER HEAD! AND OH MY GOD, CAROLINE IS SWINGING THAT EXTINGUISHER AT THE HEAD OF BETHANY ON THE GROUND LIKE A MAD WOMAN!!!! She finally stops after hitting her about six times with it.
(Caroline tosses the fire extinguisher aside before chuckling a little bit licking her blood that’s trickling from her nose with the flames going off in the background.)
Gavin Kirkland: Am I the only one who found that kind of hot? :mjlit:
Eve: Can you not today? This is a serious situation because did we just see this woman just lick her blood? And she’s laughing despite the torture she’s been put through so far?! CAROLINE NOW PICKS HER UP AND SHE GRABS HER BY THE HEAD AND HITS HER “WICKED” BACKFLIP DDT!!!
Caroline: (off mic while holding her head up by her hair) YOU’RE WRONG, IT’S DON’T MESS WITH “ME”! YOU’RE GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME!! I PUT MY FAITH IN YOU AND YOU LET ME DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Monologuing when you are out for revenge on somebody ain’t likely the smartest thing to do. Don’t shoot the messenger though.
Deadprez: Caroline is just still harboring feelings from their past even though Bethany beat her fair and square back then….AND OH MY GOD CAROLINE GRABS BETHANY BY HER WOUNDED HAND THAT HAD A STAKE DRIVEN THROUGH IT A WEEK AGO AND DRAGS IT NEAR THE FLAMES TO SET IT ON FIRE –
Eve: BETHANY THOUGH OUT OF INSTINCT IS TRYING NOT TO SAVE THE MATCH BUT SAVE HERSELF AND THAT HAND….BUT BETHANY SLAPS CAROLINE ACROSS THE FACE CAUSING HER TO STUMBLE BACK AND SAVING HERSELF AT LEAST FOR THE MOMENT!!!! Bethany doesn’t see that Caroline just got pissed off because of that slap and reaches down and grabs that second stake out of Solomon’s back pocket, AND THEN CAROLINE STABS BETHANY IN HER FOREARM AS SHE APPROACHED HER!!! CAROLINE GRABS THE HAND AND GOES TO SET IT ON FIRE AGAIN LOOKING TO END THE MATCH –
Deadprez: ADAM LUCAS FROM BEHIND USES THE EXTINGUISHER FROM EARLIER HITTING CAROLINE IN HER BACK SAVING HIS WIFE!! ADAM THROWS THE EXTINGUISHER ASIDE SEVERAL FEET FROM HIM AND GRABS HER BY THE HAIR FROM BEHIND NOT TOO PLEASED!!
Adam Lucas: (while holding Caroline backwards by the hair) You got a problem with her then you got a problem with ME!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM PUSHES HER BACK BEFORE PULLING HER IN BY THE ARM AND POPS HER UP AND HITS “LEVEL UP!!!” THE POP UP POWERBOMB CONNECTS AND ADAM GRABS THE DEAD WEIGHT OF CAROLINE LOOKING TO END THIS ONE…BUT LOOK OUT!! SOLOMON IS BACK IN THE MATCH AND USES A STEEL CHAIR THAT HE TOOK FROM GINA ROMANO DRILLING ADAM IN THE BACK! Solomon is the one up now as he walks back over to the timekeeper’s area still holding his bloody shoulder from earlier on….AND HE GRABS THE RING BELL! SOLOMON WAITS FOR ADAM TO TURN AROUND, THEN USES THE EDGE OF THE RING BELL DRIVING IT INTO THE SKULL OF ADAM!! AND NOW ADAM IS THE ONE BLEEDING NEXT FROM THE NOSE!
Solomon Stane: (while pointing down at Adam) You deserve everything you’re about to get. Say hi to the devil for me.
Eve: The message was pretty clear from Solomon trying to drag Adam over to the fire and burn him……BUT ADAM OUT OF PURE FIGHT OR GET BURNED MODE IS THROWING ELBOWS TRYING TO SAVE HIMSELF! THAT JUST SEEMED TO IRRITATE SOLOMON MORE AS HE DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO THE MIDSECTION OF ADAM BEFORE HAMMING AT HIS BACK – AND THEN DELIVERS A SPINEBUSTER DROPPING HIS HEAD ON TOP OF THAT RING BELL!! Adam holds his head in some serious pain as Solomon doesn’t look like he’s stopping there as he gets him back up to his feet quickly –
Deadprez: SOLOMON GRABS ADAM BY THE THROAT AND DELIVERS HIS “TRIUMPH OF TRUTH” CHOKESLAM THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE!!!! THERE IS NO WAY IN ADAM’S CONDITION HE GETS BACK UP FROM THAT! :damn:
(Instant replay of Solomon hitting the “Triumph Of Truth” to Adam through the announce desk.)
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Eve: A grin comes across the face of Solomon because with how bad of condition Adam was in coming into this, he likely just took Adam out of this match for good and now have a likely a two on one situation against someone not fully healthy either. Solomon flips over the rubble of the announce table and buries Adam underneath it taking him out of the equation before turning his attention over to Dr. Bethany Blue holding her forearm in obvious pain, and picks her up by the head before driving his knee into her ribs several times. Solomon looks to be in complete control right now of Bethany.
Deadprez: BUT LOOK AT BETHANY FIGHT BACK WITH SEVERAL ELBOW STRIKES TO THE FACE THAT CAUSES SOLOMON TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS! BETHANY REFUSING TO DIE AS BETHANY RUNS AT HIM LOOKING TO HIT “TJD” SUPER KICK – AND IT CONNECTS DROPPING SOLOMON AS THEY BOTH FALL DOWN AND NOW ALL FOUR COMPETITORS ARE DOWN! Which one’s flesh is going to be smoking in the end of this one?
Gavin Kirkland: I think we all know our answers of who we want, come on.
Eve: After several moments and avoiding disaster just moments ago, Bethany is looking for her husband but looks over and sees he’s buried under an announce desk and slowly stumbles over and gets the rubble off him before trying to get him conscious but that looks like a lost cause at the moment. Bethany looks over to her right and realizes that Solomon is slowly coming back to his senses up to one knee now and she runs at him with that chair next to the announce table – BUT SOLOMON STOPS HER BY GRABBING HER BY THE THROAT!!
Eve: BUT BETHANY CHOPS HIS ARM DOWN, THEN DELIVERS A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE GOING FOR A DDT, BUT SOLOMON HOLDS ON BEFORE DRIVING HER BACK FIRST INTO THE STEEL RING POST BEFORE DELIVERING A SPINEBUSTER ON TOP OF THAT CHAIR!!! SOLOMON SEES HIS OPPORTUNITY HERE PICKING HER UP BY THE THROAT AND SLOWLY PUSHES BACK AGAINST THE FLAMES!! BETHANY CAN FEEL THAT HEAT A FEW INCHES FROM HER BACK AND IS TRYING WITH EVERYTHING SHE’S GOT TO RESIST IT BUT CAN’T DO MUCH AS SOLOMON IS OUT OUT STRENGTHENING HER, BETHANY IS ABOUT TO BE SET ON FIRE –
Solomon Stane: (off mic) SEE YOU IN HELL!
Deadprez: A LOW BLOW FROM BETHANY!!!! BETHANY BARELY SAVES HERSELF FROM THE FIRE WITH A LOW BLOW!!!
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off mic) NOT TODAY YOU FUCKING WON’T!
Eve: Bethany slides down the barricade taking some deep breaths like her life just flashed before her eyes given just how close she came to being lit on fire right there. Solomon is on his knees holding his groin in very extreme pain as Bethany stands back up to her feet – AND BETHANY HITS *“CODE BLUE”!!!* THE HEART PUNCH RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF SOLOMON AND BETHANY MIGHT JUST HAVE HIM EXACTLY WHERE SHE WANTS HIM!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Given how weak Bethany is at the moment and with her husband seemingly unconscious to help carry him up over to the fire, it might be a little bit difficult. She’s having a hard time trying to get what is pretty much the dead weight of Solomon off the floor and get him over to those flames above the barricade to set him on fire in order to win the match but does she have enough strength in her body to do it? She’s trying and she’s getting there!
Deadprez: We’ve seen Bethany do it before so don’t be shocked if she can pull this kind of win off again out of her ass when all odds seem against her, it’s what she does at this point.
Eve: SHE’S ALMOST GOT HIM NEAR THAT FIRE, BUT LOOK OUT!!! CAROLINE US BACK UP WITH THAT STEEL CHAIR AND SHE SWINGS IT AT THE BACK OF BETHANY PREVENTING HER FROM TAKING HIM ANY FURTHER!!! Bethany again is in a dangerous position here as…CAROLINE BEGINS SWINGING THAT CHAIR RAPIDLY AT THE BODY OF BETHANY! CHAIRSHOT AFTER CHAIRSHOT AND FINALLY SHE COMES TO A STOP! The chair is completely vent in and mangled as she smiles and tosses it aside looking down at Bethany proud of her work before walking over and helping Solomon try to stand as he does and balances himself against the steel steps not having a clue on where he is at the moment as Caroline begins to talk strategy yet again.
Caroline: (off mic to a very dazed Solomon) She wants to keep making this difficult? I got an idea.
Eve: What does she mean by tha – OH MY GOD!!! SHE PULLS OUT LIGHTER FLUID FROM UNDER THE RING WITH A SINISTER LAUGH!!!
Deadprez: OH MY GOD!!! SHE JUST SQUEEZED SOME OF THE FLUID ACROSS BETHANY’S BACK!!! She thinks they’re having a hard time bringing her or Adam to the flames themselves, so she’s going to do it the easy way as….SHE PULLS OUT A LIGHTER PRESSING THE BUTTON WITH THE FIRE TIP SHOWING AS SHE CONTINUES TO LAUGH! SHE’S GOING TO SET BETHANY ON FIRE WITH THAT LIGHTER!!! –
Eve: WAIT!!!! ADAM JUST REVIVED HIMSELF OUT OF NOWHERE AND LEAPED OVER FROM THE ANNOUNCE TABLE RUBBLE AND JUMPED OVER BETHANY’S BACK!!! ADAM PROTECTING HIS WIFE FROM BEING LIT ON FIRE WHILE UNCONSCIOUS!!!
(Caroline is not amused by this at first but then scratches her head and smirks again while playing with the lighter trigger.)
Caroline: (off mic while flicking the lighter on and off) Solomon, you go finish him off, I wanna enjoy this.
Eve: ENJOY IT?!? How sick can you be? Solomon now grabs Adam and forces him off his wife separating them and walks him to the other end of the ring!!
Deadprez: AND ADAM ALMOST OUT OF A RUSH OF ADRENALINE DRIVES HIM BACKWARDS SO HARD AND FAST INTO THE STEPS THEY GO FLYING OVER IT!!! ADAM IMMEDIATELY POPS UP AND RUNS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING AS CAROLINE HAS THE LIGHTER ON AGAIN LOOKING TO SET BETHANY ON FIRE, CAN HE GET THERE IN TIME TO STOP HER?!?! –
Eve: BUT OH LOOK!! BETHANY OUT OF NOWHERE KICKS CAROLINE IN THE KNEECAP CAUSING HER TO DROP TO A KNEE, AND HERE COMES ADAM ROUNDING THE CORNER AT FULL SPEED – AND HE DRILLS CAROLINE WITH AN ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! SOME ON THE FLY TEAMWORK THERE FROM THE HUSBAND AND WIFE AS ALL FOUR OF THE COMPETITORS ARE DOWN ONCE AGAIN! The scene at ringside is like a car wreck while flames continue to surround all of them. One of them has to burn eventually.
Deadprez: The big question now is how much do each of these competitors have left in the tank? They’ve been through an absolute war here tonight so far but yet still someone in this match must be set on fire to add on top of all of they have put their bodies through tonight. After several moments there seems to be a little bit of movement as Adam crawls to the other side of the corner to the other side of the ring and pretty much meets Solomon at his feet as they stare at one another daring the other to take a shot….
Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT HAND FROM SOLOMON!
Eve: RIGHT HAND FROM ADAM!
Deadprez: ANOTHER FROM SOLOMON! BOTH OF THEM LOOKING TO GAIN THE ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER…AND THEN ANOTHER FROM SOLOMON BEFORE TAKING HIM OUT WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT DROPPING HIM TO THE FLOOR! Solomon takes a look at his surroundings before eyeing those steel steps they crashed into only a few moments prior. Solomon takes the rest of the top half of the steps off and tosses them a few feet away before walking over and grabbing Adam by the hair and bringing him over and taking him up to the base of the bottom half of the steps and places him between the legs….
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY!!! HE’S TRYING TO GO FOR A PILEDRIVER ON THE BASE OF THOSE STEPS!! –
Eve: HE GETS HIM HALFWAY UP….BUT ADAM COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP AS SOLOMON LANDS HARD ON HIS BACK!!! Solomon stands up slowly and turns around, AND ADAM GOES FOR A SUPERKICK….BUT SOLOMON DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE THEY BOTH RUN INTO EACH OTHER WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE AND BOTH MEN ARE DOWN ONCE AGAIN!!
Gavin Kirkland: Meanwhile on the other side of the ring Bethany pulls herself up using the ring skirt and sees that nobody else is around while Caroline is in a vulnerable position right in front of her feet. Bethany thinks of what to do while Caroline slowly stirs to her feet… AND UH OH!
Eve: BETHANY GRABS SOMETHING UNDER THE RING……IS THAT AN OVEN MITT?? :comeagain:
Gavin Kirkland: Well I guess we are dealing with fire. :skip:
Deadprez: What is she doing? OH GOD! BETHANY WALKS OVER TO THAT BARBED WIRE WRAPPED OTOSCOPE SHE INTRODUCED EARLIER IN THE MATCH AND SHES UNWRAPS A LITTLE BIT OF THE BARBED WIRE FROM THE OTOSCOPE AND PLACES IT AROUND THE OVEN MITT…YOU DON’T THINK????
Eve: BETHANY IS PRACTICALLY BEGGING FOR HER TO STAND UP NOW, AND CAROLINE TURNS AROUND….*SAY AHHHH!!!!!* THE CLAW IS LOCKED IN WITH THAT BARBED WIRE WRAPPED OVEN MITT!!!! CAROLINE IS IN A DEEP STATE OF PANIC AS BLOOD STARTS DRIPPING FROM THE MOUTH AND BETHANY BACKS HER UP CLOSER TO THOSE FLAMES!!!
Deadprez: CAROLINE US BACKING UP CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE FLAMES AS BETHANY HAS THE CLAW LOCKED IN AND SHE’S PUSHING HER UP AGAINST THE FIRE AS CAROLINE IS AN INCH AWAY FROM BEING SET ON FIRE, –
Eve: OH MY GOD!!!! CAROLINE DIGS HER FINGERS INTO THE STAB WOUND FROM THE STAKE SHOT TO BETHANY’S FOREARM EARLIER IN THE MATCH!!!! :damn:
Gavin Kirkland: When I said I like women sticking their fingers into one another….THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!
Eve: THAT WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE BETHANY CRINGE IN PAIN AND LET GO OF THE “SAY AHHH!” CAROLINE TAKES THIS WINDOW AND RUNS TAKING HER DOWN WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST TO THE FACE AS BETHANY DROPS LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES! That escape was an escape by our desperation and honestly I don’t know if it was lucky, but it was smart as she saves the match for her and Solomon. She picks Bethany up and throws her to the other side of the ring before going to check on Solomon who is still down as is Adam, AND IT LOOKED LIKE A LIGHTBULB JUST WENT OFF IN HER HEAD!
(The crowd pops with some front row fans banging on the protective glass at seeing a table being pulled out.)
Deadprez: CAROLINE HAS PULLED OUT THE FURNITURE!! Tables have joined the party in this mayhem as she sets it up before picking Bethany up by her head – BUT BEFORE WE COULD KNOW WHAT HE HAD IN MIND, BETHANY SLAPS HER HANDS AWAY AND THEY BEGINS EXCHANGING BLOWS BACK AND FORTH YET AGAIN TRYING TO GAIN THE UPPER HAND ON THE OTHER! Bethany looks to have the upper hand –
Eve: BUT IN COMES SOLOMON AGAIN HITTING HER FROM BEHIND AND ITS ANOTHER TWO ON ONE SITUATION HERE AS BETHANY’S IN TROUBLE WHILE THEY BOTH HAMMER AWAY AT HER BACK AND ATTACK THAT INJURED FOREARM – BUT LOOK OUT!!!!
Deadprez: ADAM LUCAS COMES FLYING OFF THE TOP ROPE OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE THREE OF THEM ON THE OUTSIDE NEAR THAT TABLE….BUT CAROLINE SAW IT COMING AND GOT OUT OF DODGE JUST IN TIME! She quickly thinks of what to do BEFORE SHE DELIVERS A RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF ADAM BEFORE GOING UNDER THE RING AGAIN….
Gavin Kirkland: SHE JUST PULLED OUT MORE LIGHTER FLUID AND A LIGHTER!!!
Eve: OH NO!! CAROLINE WALKS OVER TO THAT SET UP TABLE SHE BROUGHT OUT EARLIER AND POURS LIGHTER FLUID ALL OVER THE SURFACE OF IT!!! She tosses it aside before clicking the button of that lighter –
Deadprez: THE TABLE IS ON FIRE!!! THE TABLE IS ON FIRE!!!!
Eve: OH MY GOD!!! Caroline picks up Bethany and and brings her up to the apron above the flaming table making sure she’s the one who goes through it to get that revenge she is seeking for how things played out years ago under her wing….AND CAROLINE LOOKS TO THROW BETHANY OFF INTO THE TABLE…..BUT BETHANY DELIVERS ELBOW SHOTS TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE TRYING TO FIGHT FOR HER LIFE HERE BEFORE SHOVING HER BACK FIRST INTO THE RING POST! BETHANY TAKES HER EYES OFF OF HER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FLAMING TABLE BELOW THEM FOR A SECOND BEFORE TURNING HER ATTENTION BACK TO CAROLINE –
Gavin Kirkland: THAT MIGHT HAVE COST BETHANY AS CAROLINE MISTS BETHANY IN THE EYES!!!!
Eve: BUT BETHANY DUCKED IT… AND THEN APPLIES *SAY AHHHH!!!!!* THE CLAW IS LOCKED IN AGAIN AND CAROLINE IS iN THE WORST POSSIBLE SPOT YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE ON THAT APRON LOCKED IN THE CLAW WITH A FLAMING TABLE BELOW YOU!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE GRABS BETHANY BY THE THROAT! SHE IS CLAWING AT HER TO TRY AND BREAK THE HOLD! THEY WANT TO KILL EACH OTHER!
Deadprez: LOOK IN THE RING – SOLOMON AND ADAM ARE BACK AT IT WITH ONE ANOTHER AS SOLOMON IRISH WHIPS HIM INTO THE ROPES, BUT ADAM REVERSES IT AND SOLOMON JUST KNOCKED INTO BOTH WOMEN ON THAT APRON!!!!!
*CRASH!*
Eve: HOLY SHITTTT!!!! BOTH WOMEN JUST CRASHED THROUGH THAT FLAMING TABLE!!!!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!
(The ringside area is filling up with smoke as emergency firemen spend the next several seconds trying to put the fire out on both women before they finally do. The referee is confused on what to do.)
Eve: They both went through the table so who won?? Even Adam and Solomon are confused as they look down concerned for their partners…..but the referee still hasn’t called for the bell. Solomon steps back and asks the referee if the match is still going as he says yes!
Deadprez: .AND SOLOMON JUMPS ADAM FROM BEHIND AS HE WAS CONCERNED FOR HIS WIFE AND QUICKLY TOSSES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! SOLOMON IS LOOKING TO STEAL THIS AS HE THROWS ADAM INTO THE FLAMES!!!!! –
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT!!! ADAM REVERSES AND SENDS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE BARRICADE!!! ADAM FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A SUPERKICK TO SOLOMON ON HIS KNEES! SOLOMON MIGHT BE IN DEEP TROUBLE AS ADAM PULLS HIM ON TOP OF THE BASE OF THOSE STEPS FROM EARLIER –
Eve: ADAM HITS SOLOMON WITH WHAT HE TRIED TO DO EARLIER TO HIM…..THE PILEDRIVER ON THE BASE OF THE STEEL STEPS!!!!!! SOLOMON HAS ZERO CLUE WHERE HE IS AT THIS VERY MOMENT AS ADAM QUICKLY GETS HIM UP TO HIS FEET – AND THEN TOSSES HIS HIGH ABOVE THOSE FLAMES INTO THE PROTECTIVE GLASS BEFORE FALLING BACK TO THE GROUND!! SOLOMON IS ON FIRE!!!!!! MATCH IS OVER!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Be Legendary – Pop Evil plays as Adam Lucas has no care for getting his hand raised as he immediately rushes over to his wife Bethany at the rampway while the firemen run past him to put out Solomon which takes several seconds. Adam comes to the side of his wife who’s entire body is smoking in the table rubble.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNERS…DRRR BETHANYYYY BLUUUUEEEE AND ADDAAMMMM LUCASSSSSSS!!!!
Eve: WHAT A WAR WE JUST WITNESSED! This has been building for a long time, and it paid off in a big way. We thought one person was gonna be on fire, not three which made this crazier. All four went above and beyond in order to get the victory but tonight it was Adam who was the one that managed to escape that fire and got the win and some closure for he and Bethany after everything those two put them through recently.
(Adam is walking a smoking and upset Bethany Blue glaring at him with narrowed eyes up the ramp with how things ended, but Adam tries his best to assure they’re the winners which is what matters and that both Caroline and Solomon were set on fire.)
(The final shot is of Caroline leaning against the apron trying some way to cool off staring at Adam and Bethany while medical personnel are checking on Solomon on the other side of the ring.)
(Showdown returns on the screen once more, capturing EAW Specialists Champion, Brianna Hill, wearing a distasteful look on her face while standing tall next to Mikaela Street. Hill herself is looking left and right, trying to figure something out with conflicting feelings.)
Mikaela Street: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Brianna Hill. You don’t seem quite in the mood since you’ve been here. Does that have anything to do with what happened last week with Selina Reyes? What are the words and meaning behind your actions?
Brianna Hill: Mikaela, since the question has never been answered, sometimes you have to go out there and find the answer. Last week, I finally found the answer I’ve been trying to figure out, and it’s as clear as day that Selina Reyes has been eyeing MY championship over the past few weeks. What I did on Voltage was get my answer figured out, and when I used this precious championship of mine to carve into the backs of Selina and Candice’s skulls, I realized what still needed to be done is reminding them who the champ around here is.
Brianna Hill: And when I did, I looked into those eyes of vengeance showing through Selina’s gaze. I looked down at her while I raised the title in my hands, and I saw all the anger being let out through her emotions. She’s finally channeling her true feelings and telling me, with that very expression, that she wants to take this title away from me. They can look at this belt all they want, but remember, anyone has to understand that possession is one thing, and THIS title is under my supervision. Specialist Championship is my title, and Specialist Champion is ME. So, if anyone wants to take this title from me, they are going to talk business with me. Otherwise, like what happened to Selina last week, if she doesn’t want to talk business with me, I’ll let my actions do the talking for her!
(Brianna looks left and right, shaking her head as she seems unable to find the woman she attacked last week, reminding them who she is. Hill raises the title to the camera and speaks directly to it.)
Brianna Hill: And guess what, Mikaela? I’ve been standing here all day since the moment I stepped into this arena, and until now, there’s no trace of the woman named Selina Reyes walking past. Nobody is giving me the right answer. I’m not on the hunt, but it’s just disrespectful to the champion and an act of cowardice if you refuse to face me eye to eye when you demand to take this title away from me through your inner thought.
Brianna Hill: I see through it, I can sense and smell your hunger, Selina. If you really want a shot at my championship, there’s no need to wait in line because Grand Rampage is just a week away, and you can have a match against me there for this treasure you seek. As a matter of fact, be my guest tonight and come see me, toe to toe, in the ring to find out how much this title really means to you.
(Hill just pushes the camera away and continues yelling, searching for Selina. The camera continues capturing her as she walks off, stomping around in search of the woman.)
Brianna Hill: (Off-Mic) COME ON! WHERE YOU AT-
(Suddenly, someone runs up from behind and ambushes her, causing Hill to stumble and crash into the wall hard. Hill then falls to the ground as the camera capturing the situation is pushed sideways, allowing the culprit to step into view… is none other than Selina Reyes!)
Gavin Kirkland: OH!!! Look who’s in the blue brand tonight! It’s Selina Reyes! Brianna Hill made her invasion last week, and now she’s getting her payback!
Eve: Reyes is beating up Brianna right now, pouring all her rage on her at the moment!
(Selina stops stomping on Brianna for a bit, then clutches her collar shirt, pulling it up before looking into her eyes. She then throws Brianna’s face into the concrete wall hard, almost knocking Hill out.)
Selina Reyes: (Off-Mic) You asked for this.
Deadprez: Reyes is already picking Hill up from the ground again. Our Specialist Champion has been beaten to a pulp, and it’s not going to stop here! Aw hell nah!
Gavin Kirkland: HILL GOT TOSSED AND FLEW THROUGH THE INTERVIEW SECTION BACKDROP, CRASHING THROUGH IT!!!!! ALL THE LIGHTS AND POLES CAME CRASHING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
(Hill is crawling and scratching weakly out of the set after being tossed through it, but Selina walks down like a serial killer, grabbing a handful of Brianna’s hair and pulling her right back to her knees.)
Selina Reyes: (Off-Mic) You want to know how much this championship means to me? I’ll show you how much I’m willing to take it from you.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no… what’s her plan here?
Eve: ORYX AWAKENING!!!!! TO THE CONCRETE GROUND!!!!! Brianna Hill just had her face slammed hard into the concrete ground, and our Specialist Champion has been knocked out cold!
Deadprez: Someone needs to come and put a stop to this because one of our champions is about to be hospitalized!
(Selina Reyes gets up to her knees and picks up the Specialist Championship that had fallen to the ground earlier. She looks at it, then looks back down at the downed Brianna Hill, who is lying cold in front of her.)
Selina Reyes: (Off-Mic) I’m holding this now, but I’m not just going to hold it at Grand Rampage, I’m taking it home with me. I accept this match. See you at Grand Rampage, champ. ਜੋ ਮੰਗਦਾ ਏਂ, ਉਸ ਤੋਂ ਸਾਵਧਾਨ ਰਹੀਂ। ਮੈਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਹੀ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਚੇਤਾਵਨੀ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਸੀ।
(Selina drops the title on Brianna as she looks up and sees Silas World running from behind the camera. She retreats by walking backward, smiles at Brianna Hill and the rest of Silas World, then walks away.)
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) HEY HEY! WHAT’S GOING ON HERE??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? GET HER SOME HELP!!!!
(Silas Mason and the rest of Silas World members help Brianna Hill and carefully take her away from the scene as Showdown fades into a commercial break.)
(The camera cuts backstage where we see Kyra Phillips standing in front of the Showdown banner. She has a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she begins to speak.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, the anticipation is growing as we are one week away from the Grand Rampage event. So many high profile matches have already been booked for the prestigious two night event.
Kyra Phillips: One of those matches has been coming for a while now as we will see Harper Lee and Ronan Malosi of Silas World teaming up against Veena Adams and a mystery partner of her choosing.
Kyra Phillips: Actually, it’s not a mystery anymore as I welcome my special guests at this time. Please welcome at this time, Veena Adams and her not so mystery partner… the former Universal Women’s Champion… MILLI BANKS!
(Milli and Veena come into camera view and the crowd starts going absolutely crazy in cheers for the powerful duo… and besties. Both ladies are feeling pretty good at the moment as Kyra speaks up.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies, thank you for joining me at this time. I am just going to go ahead and cut to the chase with my first question. What are your thoughts on the match that you two have next week against Harper Lee and Ronan Malosi at Grand Rampage?
Veena Adams: Would you like to start?
Milli Banks: Oh no. Be my guest. You start.
Veena Adams: Alright then. Well, Kyra, my thoughts are the same as everybody else’s thoughts right now about this match. I can’t wait to beat the holy hell out of those two losers from Silas World. They are a pain in mine and everybody else’s asses. They look horrible and I bet they smell funny too. It will be a pleasure to shut them up.
Veena Adams: Not just because of the pain they have caused me. But also because of what that dumb bald lard bucket Ronan Malosi did to my Charlie. He brutalized and injured my poor Charlie, and I haven’t forgotten that. I don’t forgive either. I won’t stop until that big idiot Ronan feels ten times worse than what he did to Charlie. Don’t even get me fucking started on the purple haired bitch Harper Lee.
Kyra Phillips: Speaking of Harper Lee… last week you certainly made your presence felt when Harper Lee was taking on Cody Maverick for the National Elite Championship in the way of interfering in the match by clocking Harper in the head with the National Elite Championship belt. That eventually cost Harper the match and the title. Did you feel like you were stooping down to their level by doing that?
Veena Adams: I don’t feel that way at all. Especially after having to watch Silas World week after week create havoc on Showdown while I was still recovering from my horrible injury. Honestly, I really could care less about if I hurt anybody’s feelings because what I did was the very least that dumb bitch deserved everything she got in that match including the loss and the concussion.
Kyra Phillips: Thank you, Veena.
(Kyra smiles and then turns her attention to Milli to get her input on the subject.)
Kyra Phillips: Milli, it’s been a few weeks since your return to Showdown after that hellacious match at Shock Value for the Universal Women’s Championship. I was wondering how you were feeling right now?
Milli Banks: Let me tell you, Kyra, that I am feeling good. Actually, no! I am feeling better than just good. I am feeling great. I am so ready to get back into the ring and really take it to those dumbasses Harper and Ronan. What makes this match even better is the fact that I get to team with my number one girl. My bestie for life. The lovely Veena Adams.
(Veena smiles while holding her hands over her heart as Milli smiles as well before she continues to speak.)
Kyra Phillips: I am glad that you are ready to get back into competition, Milli. But I also want to say that, and I mean this with no disrespect, that this friendship is a very interesting camaraderie to say the least. I am just curious as to how this friendship came to be.
Veena Adams: It’s actually a pretty interesting story. Remember back at Territorial Invasion and I was selected to lead the Showdown War Games team into battle?
(Kyra looks at Milli and Veena before she nods her head.)
Kyra Phillips: I do remember. What a match it was.
Milli Banks: It’s a match nobody is going to forget for a very long time. Now that it has been a while since Territorial Invasion and now we can both be honest and say that when the team was just forming that we really didn’t care for one another. You could even say we hated each other.
Veena Adams: You could definitely say that, but the more time that we spent with each other building our team and getting to know each other.
Milli Banks: The more clearly we were able to see how well we were able to mesh with each other and how quickly our chemistry developed. It went from being a reluctant partnership into developing a great friendship.
Veena Adams: It truly was a classic case of opposites attract. Look how well it worked inside War Games. Hell, we won the damn thing in a pretty dominating fashion if I do say so myself.
Milli Banks: Hell yeah we did, chile. But ever since Territorial Invasion, we have just been hanging out more and getting closer and closer to the point where we became friends. Hell, now I would say that we are the best of friends. Ain’t that right, bestie
Veena Adams: Exactly, bestie. See, Kyra, we have developed a tight bond and a friendship that NOBODY saw coming. When I came back at Reasonable Doubt, there was no doubt… no pun intended… in my mind as to which side I was going to pick in the battle against Silas World.
Milli Banks: She couldn’t have come at a better time.
Veena Adams: They might have been able to take my Charlie out of the equation, but I sure as hell was NOT going to let those assholes do the same thing to my best friend. I hope Silas World realizes now that when you mess with my bestie or her boyfriend, then you are messing with me, and you certainly don’t want to get on my bad side… not that I have a bad side.
Milli Banks: No, you don’t, but what she said goes double for me.
Veena Adams: Next week at Grand Rampage, those losers from Silas World are going to pay for everything and I mean EVERYTHING that they have done to my bestie, Bronson, and… Kelton I guess. They think that they call pull this shit some more now that I am back? Not going to happen in a million years.
Milli Banks: That’s right, bestie. Now when we are done beating the shit out of Silas World, we are going to be focusing on what really matters. I mean, hello! It’s Pain for Pride season.
Veena Adams: Exactly! When it’s Pain for Pride season, there’s only one place that we should be aiming for, and do you know what that is?
(Kyra shakes her head as both Milli and Veena answer the question.)
Milli Banks: MAIN EVENTING PAIN FOR PRIDE!
Veena Adams: MAIN EVENTING PAIN FOR PRIDE!
Milli Banks: You see, Kyra, there are four people who deserve to be in the main event of Pain for Pride, and you are looking at two of them right now.
Veena Adams: Two very beautiful, very strong, and very successful ladies like us belong at the top of the mountain. We belong in the main event of an event as historic and as prestigious as Pain for Pride. If anybody thinks they can stop us, then they have another thing coming.
(Both ladies look at each other while smiling. It’s like there is some telepathy going on as both Milli and Veena have not said a word to each other in the last few moments, but they do finally nod at each other while still smiling before they walk off in the same direction leaving Kyra Phillips by herself.)
Kyra Phillips: Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Veena and Milli are feeling very confident about their tag team match next week at Grand Rampage as they look to teach Silas World’s Harper Lee and Ronan Malosi a lesson that they will never forget. But will Harper and Ronan even let them open the book? We will find out that and more next week as they go to war. For right now, let’s send it back to ringside with Gavin, Eve, and Deadprez!!
(The final shot shows Kyra with a smile on her face as she looks to the camera before the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(The flashback video begins of Grand Rampage Rewind 2024.)
( The camera pans to the ring where we see Gina Romano present with a microphone in hand. )
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: AND IT IS A FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH!
( ‘Old Scars’ by All Time Low hits as the crowd erupts in cheers as Raven Roberts storms down the ring with a determined look on her face as she looks around the arena acknowledging the fans in the audience. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, RESIDING IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO POUNDS, SHE IS ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’ RAVEN!!! ROBERTS!!!!
Deadprez: As Raven Roberts makes her way down to the ring, you can just feel that determination beaming. Raven is a woman who commands respect, but Miku Sakai doesn’t see it that way! This ain’t just about picking up a big win, it’s about humbling her!
Eve: And Raven sure has been up and down that road many times in her career. She broke the news that this was going to be a falls count anywhere match and I understand exactly why! These two women want to tear each other apart.. And it was just a month ago that these two teamed together at Reasonable Doubt..
( ‘Old Scars’ fades and is immediately replaced by ‘STFU!’ by Rina Sawayama as the crowd reaction immediately sours as Miku Sakai makes her way from the back, wasting no time Miku immediately begins to let the fans know how she feels about them as she puts both hands up and lets her middle fingers fly, before making her way down the ramp and stopping just before entering the ring as she immediately turns her attention to Raven Roberts, staring her down. )
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT, FROM FUKUI, JAPAN, WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED- TEN POUNDS, MIKU!!! SAKAI!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And remind me what also happened at Reasonable Doubt, Eve?! Miku Sakai outlasted Raven Roberts in Blind Faith! Miku has as much disdain for Raven as Raven has for her if not more!
Deadprez: This is one of those ‘sink or swim’ moments. There’s no shame in losing to someone like Raven but you can just tell that it would eat up at Miku if that is her fate! Don’t get me wrong, Miku has been killing it on her own, but she needs a big win here tonight if she’s going to prove to the world that she’s capable of operating on that next level!
Eve: And speaking of, Miku is goading Raven to come out of the ring with her! Raven happily obliges, ready to kick her as–
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MIKU LAUNCHES A CHAIR DIRECTLY AT RAVEN’S HEAD!!!
Deadprez: I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING AT ALL! AND NEITHER DID RAVEN AS SHE FALLS TO THE FLOOR AS MIKU RUSHES TO PULL HER FROM OUT THE RING TO RINGSIDE.
( DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! )
Eve: RAVEN TRIES TO GATHER HER BEARINGS BUT MIKU ISN’T WILLING TO GIVE UP THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE AS SHE BEGINS STOMPING THE HELL OUT OF RAVEN ON THE OUTSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku getting a headstart on this one! You love to see it. See that’s a winning mindset! Why wait for your opponent to come at you? Just hit them in the face with a chair! I don’t know why more people don’t think like that?!?!
Deadprez: Raven is trying to get back up but Miku won’t allow it as she continues stomping the hell outta her! Out of desperation, Raven sends a swift punch to the ribs of Miku, but it doesn’t stop Miku at all, who pulls Raven up to her feet and Irish Whips HER STRAIGHT AHEAD INTO THE STEEL STEPS—
Eve: NO, RAVEN REVERSES IT!
#CRASH!
Eve: RAVEN USES MIKU’S OWN MOMENTUM AGAINST HER AS SHE WHIPS HER INTO THE STEPS! AND THAT IMPACT WASN’T LIGHT AT ALL!! NO MIKU HIT THOSE STEPS SO HARD THEY NEARLY TIPPED OVER!
Gavin Kirkland: Gosh, that sounded like a car accident. Miku immediately begins favoring her side as Raven Roberts begins to search under the apron for something. I wonder what she’s looking for?
( The crowd Immediately begins to cheer as Raven Roberts pulls an object out from under the ring and holds it in the air for everyone to see. )
DeadPrez: Well if you know Raven Roberts, you know what her weapon of choice is.
Eve: A KENDO STICK. RAVEN HAS A KENDO STICK AND SHE WASTES NO TIME MAKING A B-LINE FOR MIKU WHO’S STILL TRYING TO SHAKE OFF THE IMPACT OF THAT COLLISION WITH THE STEPS! RAVEN STANDS OVER MIKU AND SWINGS THE KENDO STICK—
#BANG!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MIKU IS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY CAUSING RAVEN TO SWING THAT KENDO STICK INTO THE STEPS! BEFORE RAVEN HAS THE CHANCE TO REACT MIKU SENDS A QUICK SIDEKICK INTO HER MIDSECTION, AND QUICKLY SCRAMBLES BACK TO HER FEET!
Deadprez: That kick causes Raven to double over, only momentarily before she finds her way back to a vertical base! But that was all the time Miku needed as she quickly grabs at the Kendo stick in Raven’s hand attempting to pull it from her!
Eve: We’ve got a tug-of-war on our hands! Either one of these women could come away with this thing!
Deadprez: I wouldn’t be so sure! It looks like Raven has the advantage as she rams her body into Miku, forcing Miku to collide into the ring apron! That impact was terrible but Miku stays on her feet nonetheless! Raven notices this and once again rams herself into Miku again, and again, repeatedly thrusting Miku into the ring apron, every impact breaking Miku down more and more!
Eve: Miku immediately sinks to a knee, as Raven positions that Kendo stick above her head! Raven is measuring, but even beyond that I think she’s taking the time to relish in this moment, she’s been wanting to do this to Miku for weeks! RAVEN RAISES THAT KENDO STICK HIGH ABOVE HER OWN HEAD BUILDING MOMENTUM BEFORE SWINGING IT DIRECTLY ONTO THE HEAD OF MIKU–
Gavin Kirkland: BUT FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THIS MATCH, MIKU MANAGES TO AVOID RAVEN AND HER HORRIBLE AIM!
Deadprez: Miku showing quick thinking as she rolls to Raven’s side , just barely avoiding that blow from the Kendo stick! Raven looks down, attempting to get off another swing– BUT MIKU QUICKLY LEAPS UP AND RAKES THE EYES!!
Eve: Look at the guile of Miku Sakai! She just raked the eyes of Raven, and Raven is blinded! Miku grabs ahold of the Kendo Stick that Raven introduced into the match, and she STRIKES RAVEN ROBERTS IN THE BACK WITH IT!
Gavin Kirkland: Not just one time! REPEATEDLY.
Eve: SHOT AFTER SHOT! MIKU IS LETTING RAVEN HAVE IT WITH THAT KENDO STICK! ATTEMPTING TO TAKE ALL HER ANGER AND FRUSTRATION OUT ON HER OPPONENT AS RAVEN ROBERTS DESPERATELY TRIES TO GET AWAY FROM THIS ONSLAUGHT HAVING NOWHERE ELSE TO GO BUT IN THE RING! BUT AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT MIKU FOLLOWS HER THERE TOO CONTINUING TO SWING THAT KENDO STICK!
Deadprez: Raven Roberts drops to her knees and quickly tries to return back to a vertical base– BUT MIKU SAKAI ISN’T GOING TO ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN AS SHE CONTINUES TO BEAT HER DOWN!
( Miku Sakai swings the Kendo Stick once more for good measure as it finally breaks apart across the back of Raven Roberts who yells out in pain. )
Eve: This is already getting uncomfortable to watch, that’s wood smashed against flesh! Raven rolls out of the ring and you can tell this is uncharted territory for her. I can’t recall the last time she’s been forced to retreat and rethink her strategy. I don’t think she expected Miku to come out swinging the way that she has!
Deadprez: Miku has been impressive but this match isn’t over yet. She needs to focus on the task at hand! And right now that’s the opposite of what she’s doing as she throws that broken kendo stick into the crowd in an attempt to goad the audience who continue to boo her, before Miku repositions her focus on Raven. Miku heads towards the ropes and reaches under the bottom rope attempting to grab Raven—
Eve: BUT RAVEN GRABS A HANDFUL OF MIKU’S HAIR AND YANKS HER OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE ONTO THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: Miku didn’t see that coming! She’s trying her hardest to get up—
Gavin Kirkland: AND SHE DOES— BUT RAVEN RUSHES TOWARDS MIKU PICKING HER UP, AND CRUSHES MIKU WITH A RUNNING TACKLE INTO THE BARRICADE!
Deadprez: BEFORE MIKU CAN EVEN REACT TO BEING FREIGHT TRAINED, RAVEN POPS HER UP INTO THE POWERBOMB POSITION AND PLANTS HER ONTO THE BARRICADE AS MIKU IMMEDIATELY FALLS FLAT ON THE OUTSIDE!
Eve: RAVEN WASTES NO TIME AT ALL AS SHE ROLLS MIKU ONTO HER SIDE AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN!
Referee: ONE!!!!
Referee: TWO!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Shoulder up just in time! Raven shakes her head in pure disgust as Miku begins to stir on the ground, trying to find a way to make it back to her feet as Raven begins to make it back to hers. Miku manages to make it back to a knee before Raven grabs her by the hair for the second time, this time she takes Miku’s head and drags her closer to the ring, Miku looks around helplessly as RAVEN TAKES HER HEAD AND BEGINS SMASHES IT INTO THE RING APRON! OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
Deadprez: MIKU SAKAI LOOKS OUT OF IT AS RAVEN PULLS HER UP TO HER FEET! MIKU CAN BARELY STAND AS RAVEN WALKS BEHIND HER AND HOISTS HER UP! I THINK RAVEN’S LOOKING FOR A BACK SUPLEX AS SHE STUMBLES OVER BY THE STEPS! RAVEN ATTEMPTS TO DROP MIKU—
Eve: BUT MIKU GRABS A HOLD OF THE RING POST! MIKU IS HOLDING ONTO THE RING POST FOR DEAR LIFE AS RAVEN GIVES UP ON THE SUPLEX ATTEMPT AND OPTS FOR SOMETHING ELSE AS SHE BEGINS TO READJUST HER GRIP ON MIKU. RAVEN RUSHES FORWARD AND RAMS MIKU HEADFIRST INTO THE RING POST, CAUSING MIKU TO RELEASE HER GRIP ON IT! RAVEN THEN TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK AND RUSHES FORWARD ONCE MORE SLAMMING MIKU HEADFIRST INTO THE BARRICADE—
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MIKU MANAGES TO ROLL OFF THE SHOULDERS OF RAVEN! MIKU SLIDES BEHIND THE BACK OF RAVEN ROBERTS, THIS TIME IT’S MIKU WHO PICKS RAVEN UP IN THE BACK SUPLEX POSITION, MIKU RUNS FORWARD–
Deadprez: AND SHE DROPS RAVEN ROBERTS STOMACH FIRST ON TOP OF THE STEEL STEPS!!!
Eve: The sound of that impact alone was disgusting!! All of the air in Raven Roberts lungs may very well be gone!! She may have broken ribs!
( The replay shows the impact of Raven Roberts landing midsection first with the Steel Steps before falling off of them and rolling onto her side. )
Gavin Kirkland: Time and time again Miku has proven that she doesn’t care about the wellbeing of Raven Roberts and she’ll continue hammering that point home until she feels as though she’s got her message across!
Deadprez: Well the message has been received loud and clear as Miku doesn’t even give Raven a chance to catch her breath, before walking over to her grabbing her by the hair, and yanking her back to her feet. Miku continues to keep a grip on the hair of Raven before placing a hand on her midsection.
Eve: Miku begins to pull Raven Roberts those same steel steps she just planted her own—
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RAVEN ROBERTS IS FIGHTING OFF THE ATTEMPT THROWING ELBOWS TO THE MIDSECTION AND HEAD OF MIKU! ELBOW AFTER ELBOW FORCING MIKU TO RELEASE HER HAIR! RAVEN QUICKLY SPINS MIKU AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH AN UPPERCUT TO THE FACE THAT CAUSES MIKU TO ATTEMPT TO RETREAT TOWARDS THE RAMP!
Deadprez: But Raven Roberts isn’t going for that at all as she quickly follows! Raven spins Miku around once more– THIS TIME SLAPPING HER ACROSS THE FACE BEFORE JUMPING UP AND CONNECTING WITH AN ENZIGURI THAT FLOORS MIKU!
Eve: The tide in this match has changed once again, and from what we’ve seen so far, I’m sure I’m going to be saying this a few times!
Gavin Kirkland: I wouldn’t be so sure! As Raven was chasing after Miku she noticed something near the ramp.
( Raven picks up an item and the crowd immediately begins to cheer. )
Deadprez: IT’S A CHAIR?
Eve: NO— WELL YES, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT’S THE SAME CHAIR THAT MIKU THREW AT RAVEN AT THE START OF THE MATCH. AND NOW RAVEN HAS THE CHANCE TO GET A MEASURE OF REVENGE AS SHE INSTANTLY SWINGS THE CHAIR AND CONNECTS WITH THE BACK OF MIKU!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku just crumbled to her knees upon impact! Raven cocks that chair back once more— and SENDS IT FULL SWING INTO THE BACK OF MIKU SAKAI ONCE MORE! This time the blow from the chair drops Miku completely!
Deadprez: Raven realizes the opportunity she has! Miku is down and out, but it’s clear to everyone that she still wants to deliver more punishment!
EAW: ( Raven stands over the motionless body of Miku Sakai, and without hesitation begins to string together chair shots targeting the back of Miku Sakai.)
Eve: MIKU SAKAI IS GETTING TAUGHT A SERIOUS LESSON IN RESPECT! SHE IS BEING ABSOLUTELY PULVERIZED! AND IT COULDN’T HAPPEN TO A BETTER PERSON!
Gavin Kirkland: Are you playing favorites!?!
Eve: Hey, I’m just saying what everyone else is thinking.
Deadprez: Raven Roberts delivers one last blow to Miku with that chair before throwing it down at her side. Raven finally feeling as though she’s done enough damage, she scrambles for the cover, hooking the leg of Miku!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEE—
Eve: NOT ENOUGH, AS MIKU GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Gavin Kirkland: Raven is in disbelief! Hell, nearly everyone in this arena is in disbelief! HOW DID MIKU KICK OUT?!
Deadprez: Raven knows she can’t worry about the “how” right now, she has to keep on the attack. And that’s exactly what she’s going to do as she grabs that chair she disposed of a few moments prior and sets it up.
Eve: Raven grabs Miku and attempts to pull her to her feet– BUT MIKU RESISTS AND BEGINS THROWING PUNCHES THAT STOP RAVEN IN HER TRACK. Miku quickly begins to send multiple punches to the midsection that cause Raven to stop in her tracks!
Deadprez: Miku slides around the back of Raven, once more attempting to turn the tide of this match– MIKU SPINS RAVEN AROUND— STARFALL— SHE GOT IT!! SHE GOT IT!! IT CONNEC–
Eve: NO, MIKUS AMBITION COMES BACK TO HAUNT HER, AS RAVEN STARTS TO FIGHT BACK! PUNCH TO THE BODY! ANOTHER ONE! RAVEN HITS HER HARD IN THE LIVER! MIKU IS STUNNED—
Gavin Kirkland: AND RAVEN LIFTS MIKU FOR A NORTHERN LIGHT’S SUPLEX THROUGH THE CHAIR!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku could have a broken back off of that! Holy shit! Raven came close to hurting her own head off of the force that suplex! Regardless, she crawls over for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEE—
Eve: MIKU SAKAI KICKS OUT AGAIN! Whether you love her or hate her, you’ve gotta give her credit for her resilience! The look on Raven’s face is one of complete shock and disbelief. All match long, Raven has been dragging Miku to the deep end of the pool, and every single time, Miku has proven that she knows how to swim.
Gavin Kirkland: Raven drags Miku down the ramp and tosses her back into the ring, before rolling in herself. Upon entry, Miku instantly makes her way to the corner, attempting to expose the turnbuckle pad.
Deadprez: And Raven just lets her do it!?! The hell?
Eve: OF COURSE ‘PREZ, THAT’S SIMPLY CAUSE RAVEN GRABS MIKU BY THE HAIR AND SHE SLAMS HER FACE INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! Miku staggers backward, holding her mouth in pain!
Gavin Kirkland: I SEE BLOOD! I SEE BLOOD! She just cut her open from that! Raven sees Miku dazed… THE FACELIFT-
Deadprez: NO! MIKU DUCKS THE SPINNING WHEEL KICK! Miku counters and grabs the head of Raven before running up the middle rope… TORNADO DDT! Miku quickly rises to her feet and seats Raven in the corner before taking a few steps back—
Eve: MIKU CHARGES IN!! RUNNING KNEE!! RUNNING KNEE!! SHE DRIVES HER KNEE INTO RAVEN’S THROAT AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY RAVEN BEGINS TO SQUIRM AROUND IN PAIN, TRYING TO CATCH HER BREATH WHILST ASSESSING THE DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO HER!
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU SCRAMBLES TOWARD RAVEN AND ATTEMPTS HER FIRST PIN OF THE NIGHT!!
Referee: ONEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THR—
Deadprez: RAVEN MANAGES TO KICK OUT! These women are throwing everything at the wall but nothing seems to be sticking yet! Raven rolls to the apron and Miku approaches her, but Raven brings her down with a hotshot! Raven buys herself some time to recover as she begins to walk over to the top rope trying to take full advantage of Miku being dazed!
Eve: Raven reaches the top rope, she’s looking to end this! RAVEN STANDS UP STRAIGHT ON THE TOP ROPE, AND CLOSES HER EYES, LOOKING TO PUT THE DAZED MIKU SAKAI AWAY ONCE AND FOR ALL— RAVEN’S WINGS!! RAVEN WINGS!! IT CONNECTS—
Gavin Kirkland: OR AT LEAST IT WOULD HAVE IF MIKU WAS DAZED JUST A BIT LONGER. MIKU COMES TO AND SHE JUMPS UP TOP! NASTY HEADBUTT TO RAVEN! Both women are staggering on the top rope! They’re close to falling… and I think Miku just threw a hailmary to salvage their positioning! SHE LEAPS ONTO RAVEN’S SHOULDERS–
Eve: AVALANCHE HURRICANRANA FROM MIKU SAKAI! RAVEN GETS LAUNCHED TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! MIKU IS DOWN! AND NOW THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET! Miku wants that cover but Raven has enough awareness to start rolling away!
Deadprez: But this match is falls count anywhere! Miku can keep pursuing Raven, and that’s exactly what she’s doing as this match goes back outside the ring! Miku meets Raven with a punch and starts to bully her up the ramp..
Gavin Kirkland: Damn it! But Raven is starting to fight back! Raven with a punch, and then a kick! It’s not hard to see they’re both running on fumes here! Miku angrily swings for her and Raven ducks under and drops her with an STO on the ramp! Both are struggling to pull big-time offense in this one as the referee begins following them..
Eve: Raven has a handful of Miku’s hair, starting to drag her further up the ramp. Raven looks Miku in the eyes and starts to lift her up! But Miku stalls the lift with an elbow to the top of the head that rocks her! Miku takes Raven’s arms and turns her, then starts to lift her upside down for STARFALL–
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RAVEN LANDS BEHIND HER!! Miku turns around and Raven grabs at her wrist, but Miku swats her hand away.. AND SHE SPITS HER BLOOD INTO HER FACE! RAVEN IS BLINDED BY THE BLOOD IN HER EYES!
Deadprez: And Miku unleashes a guttural roar before she backs away—
Eve: AND SHE CHARGES INTO A SPEAR OFF THE STAGE!! OH MY GOD! RAVEN AND MIKU JUST CRASHED THROUGH A PLETHORA OF TABLES AND PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT! I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!
( Everyone immediately stands up, as the crowd is completely shocked! They can’t believe what just happened either! Attention immediately goes to the two after such a high-impact fall! )
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Deadprez: BOTH ARE HARDLY MOVING, AND MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARE OUT HERE ATTEMPTING TO CHECK ON THE WELLBEING OF BOTH COMPETITORS — BUT THE REFEREE IS USHERING THE MEDICAL TEAM AWAY?? WHAT IS THIS?
Eve: WAIT— MIKU SAKAI’S ARM IS DRAPED ACROSS THE CHEST OF RAVEN ROBERTS!! THIS IS A VALID PIN IN A FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE REFEREE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE HIS WAY DOWN TO THE PART OF THE STAGE WHERE MIKU AND RAVEN JUST CRASHED AND BURNED— AND HE’S FINALLY THERE THE PIN!
Referee: ONEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEE!!!!
( ,,, )
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S OVER. SHE DID IT. SHE DID IT! MIKU SAKAI PICKS UP ONE OF THE BIGGEST WINS OF HER CAREER!
Deadprez: NO— RAVEN ROBERTS SOMEHOW KICKS OUT AT 2.99! I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW! BUT SHE FOUND A WAY AND THIS ONE CONTINUES ON! I DON’T EVEN THINK MIKU IS EVEN CONSCIOUS TO KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!
Eve: I have no idea, but Miku is starting to find her way back up! The referee is trying to restore some damn order and check on Raven, but Miku uses whatever strength she does have left to push the ref out of the way! If she wasn’t aware before, she’s definitely aware now as she stares down at Raven, pissed!
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) Stay down! JUST STAY THE FUCK DOWN!
Eve: Miku is yelling at Raven, obviously upset she hasn’t been able to put this match away yet. But what Miku doesn’t realize is that all she’s doing is FUELING Raven to get back up! I can’t believe it! She’s using the sides of the stage to rise! Oh my god! Miku just walked over to the crowd and shoved a fan out of her chair! She takes the chair and SMASHES IT ACROSS RAVEN’S BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku isn’t done yet! She does it AGAIN! Raven is crying out in agony! Miku raises the chair up for a third time—
Deadprez: BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO KICK THE CHAIR INTO HER FACE! MIKU GOES DOWN AFTER STEEL MEETS MOUTH FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH! AND NOW IT’S ON RAVEN TO CAPITALIZE AS SHE DRAGS MIKU CLOSER TO THE STAGE AND BEGINS BASHING HER HEAD INTO THE SIDE OF IT!
Eve: Miku throws a punch to Raven’s side, but it’s weak and Raven bashes her head again! Miku is dazed and now she’s trying to run away?! Raven follows after!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku hops the barricade to go into the crowd! But little does she know, Raven climbs the top of the barricade and DIVES WITH A DROPKICK TO THE LANDS RIGHT INTO THE INJURED BACK OF MIKU WHO FALLS FLAT ON HER FACE.
Deadprez: Raven drags Miku up and now they’re brawling all around! Miku quickly grabs Raven by the head and rakes the eyes! It’s all legal in this match. Miku spins Raven back around and DELIVERS A VICIOUS HEADBUTT—
Eve: BUT IT SEEMS AS IF THAT HEADBUTT DID MORE DAMAGE TO MIKU THAN IT DID TO RAVEN! RAVEN SIMPLY SHAKES OFF THE COBWEBS AND DELIVERS A BRUTAL KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION OF MIKU BEFORE SHE STARTS CLIMBING THE STAIRS NEXT TO HER..
Gavin Kirkland: Miku attempts to return to a vertical base—
Deadprez: BUT IT’S SHORT LIVED AS RAVEN LEAPS TOWARD HER TAKING HER OFF HER FEET WITH A HURRICANRANA! RAVEN JUST RISKED HER OWN BODY AS WELL IN AN ATTEMPT TO PUT MIKU AWAY!
Eve: These two will quite literally do WHATEVER it takes to win! Raven crawls over to Miku as she’s clearly writhing around in pain! THE PIN!
Referee: ONEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEE–
Eve: AND MIKU JOLTS A SHOULDER UP! The hate these two have for one another is literally motivating them to overcome absolute hell! And I’ve got a feeling there’s more where that came from!
Deadprez: You might be right. After everything that they’ve endured, I have no idea how either one of them is able to stand, let alone keep going. But Somehow, Raven is getting back up! The will of this woman! But look it’s not just her— look at Miku trying to rise too! Raven follows Miku and she clotheslines her over the barricade back to the side of the stage! Raven climbs over–
Eve: MIKU GRABS RAVEN BY THE LEGS, THROWING HER OFF THE BARRICADE! Raven slowly rises to her feet, holding her knee in pain..
Gavin Kirkland: AND JUST BEFORE RAVEN HAS THE CHANCE TO GATHER HERSELF, SHE’S MET WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE HEAD THAT STAGGERS HER!
Deadprez: Raven attempts to regain her balance, But Miku charges at her AND TACKLES HER THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Eve: Miku has done nothing but pull out the stops tonight, but you can tell her being unable to put away Raven has really started to get to her. She speared Raven off the stage, it wasn’t enough. She’s beaten Raven down with a multitude of weapons and unorthodox offense, it hasn’t been enough. She just speared Raven through the barricade, and she couldn’t even bring herself to go for the pin. Instead of going for the pin, Miku simply grabs the legs of Raven and drags her to the other side of the stage.
Deadprez: THERE’S NOTHING OVER THERE BUT CONCRETE FLOOR AND EQUIPMENT BOXES OVER THERE!
Eve: I’m sure Miku knows that. This relocation was by design. She’s finally ready to put Raven away for good!
Gavin Kirkland: Raven begins to stir on the ground as Miku looks around looking for whatever she can possibly find to use for her next plan of attack. After a few moments, Miku notices scaffolding used to put up production equipment. And slowly a smile begins to form on her face. She takes one last look at Raven who has made it to her feet now and challenges her to follow her onto this deathtrap!
Deadprez: And if you know Raven Roberts she ain’t afraid of no challenge! Raven is in hot pursuit of Miku! Miku quickly leaps onto the production in front of the stage and begins making her way towards the scaffolding, while there she instantly climbs up, for what appears to be fifteen or twenty feet. This isn’t going to end well.
Eve: Well you can say that again because Raven Roberts is right on her trail! She’s climbing up as well, but Miku delivers a nasty backkick to the jaw! That would’ve put the average person down! But Raven Roberts is far from the average person! She’s still going!
Deadprez: Raven punches Miku in the back! She punches her again! She reaches up and grabs Miku by the hair, SLAMMING HER HEAD INTO THE TRUSS! Miku is stunned, and she’s so close to falling!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku literally hanging on for dear life! Raven climbs up to her level, but MIKU POKES HER IN THE EYE! She’s back in this one and now she’s throwing bombs to the head of Raven! Raven’s head is bouncing off the scaffolding every time she gets hit!
Eve: This is absolutely brutal! Miku continues to smash Raven’s head into the scaffolding with these sledgehammer shots! Miku pushes Raven to the side, and now Raven is leaning against it as MIKU GRABS HER AND THROWS HER OFF–
Deadprez: RAVEN PUNCHES MIKU SQUARE IN THE RIBS! SHE PUNCHES HER AGAIN! MIKU STAGGERS BACKWARDS, DAZED… WOAH! DON’T TELL ME SHE’S GOING FOR WHAT I THINK SHE’S GOING FOR!
Eve: ‘TALON’ OFF THE SCAFFOLDING!!! RAVEN DRIVES HER BOOTH INTO MIKU’S FACE AND BOTH WOMEN FLY OVER FIFTEEN FEET OFF THE SCAFFOLDING!
Gavin Kirkland: THE EQUIPMENT BOXES DIDN’T CUSHION ANYTHING! THAT’S STRAIGHT CONCRETE BOTH WOMEN CRASHED ON! NEITHER ONE IS MOVING, AND HOW COULD THEY?!
Deadprez: HOLY. SHIT! The referee is coming over to check both women! ZERO SIGNS OF LIFE! HE’S STARTING A COUNT FOR THE BOTH OF THEM!
Referee: ONNEEEEE!
Referee: TWWOOOO!
Referee: THHRREEEEEE!
Referee: FOOOOUURRRR!
Referee: FIIIIVVVVEEEEEE!
Referee: SIIIIIIXXXXXXXXX!
Referee: SEEEVVVVEEENNNNN!
Gavin Kirkland: Neither woman is moving… This has to be over! I’m not sure how anyone is capable of getting up from a spill that nasty!
Referee: EIIIIIIIIGGGHHHHHTTTTTTTT!
Eve: DON’T COUNT OUT RAVEN ROBERTS! SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY! SHE’S SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE! SHE DIGS HER FINGERS INTO THE LEDS ON THE SIDE OF THE STAGE…
Deadprez: RAVEN PLANTS HER HANDS ON THE STAGE AS SHE STARTS TO RISE UP TO HER FEET–
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE FALLS RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE FLOOR! THE REFEREE TAKES NOTE OF THIS AND THE COUNT CONTINUES!
Referee: NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: MIKU SAKAI ROLLS OVER! DESPITE BEING THE RECIPIENT OF THE TALON, SHE’S TRYING TO USE PURE UPPER-BODY STRENGTH TO PUSH HERSELF UP TO HER FEET…
Gavin Kirkland: AND SHE’S CLOSE! SHE’S GOTTEN TO ALL FOURS! NOW A KNEEL! NOW SHE’S– SHE’S– SHE’S UP!
Eve: …NO! MIKU FALLS INTO THE BROKEN EQUIPMENT BOXES! BOTH WOMEN ARE KNOCKED OUT, WHICH LEAVES THE REFEREE WITH NO CHOICE!
Referee: TEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
(DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!)
Gina Romano: As a result of neither woman not being able to answer the referee’s count of ten… THIS MATCH HAS BEEN RULED A NO CONTEST!
( The crowd sits in stunned silence as the usual theme music is interrupted by the chatter of referees and medical workers quickly rushing down to the side of the stage to tend to both women. Raven and Miku are both placed on stretchers after such a violent affair. Neither can move on their own accord and are slowly being transported out of the arena to the ER. )
Deadprez: Oh my god. Of ALL outcomes, Miku Sakai and Raven Roberts just battled their absolute hearts out for a no contest!
Gavin Kirkland: These two women battle every step of the way in this vicious falls count anywhere match, and the match was SO brutal that not a single one could win tonight!
( Fans rise to their feet to give both women a standing ovation as a thank you for everything they sacrificed tonight! Raven slowly wakes up, wincing as she leans her head up. She has a slight smile for the fans’ appreciation, albeit not happy that she didn’t get the win in the end… On the other hand, the camera pans over to Miku Sakai, bound to a stretcher, and she looks around at the crowd… )
( And she FLIPS THEM OFF! Miku’s head falls back against the stretcher as she keeps her middle finger up all the way to the end while being wheeled backstage. )
Eve: If you’re ever going to give Miku Sakai credit for something, it’s the fact that she’s defiant to the very end! The ringside crew are coming down to clean up the mess these two women left behind. What a war we just witnessed.
( The last shot is of the destruction both Miku and Raven left before the camera fades and pans elsewhere. )
(Showdown goes towards backstage after commercials, the camera slowly panning towards the locker rooms before finally arriving towards the one where Elysium are currently in. Jon Kelton was currently sitting by himself and looking down at the ground, deep in thought and still having to deal with the fact of facing someone that he loved in that tag team match, but it really felt like that he was going to have to take a choice of some sorts, was he really going to end up sacrificing the chance to become a tag team champion with one of his best friends? Or was he going to end up hurting someone that he loved so much as well? Despite him trying to find any reason to calm himself down, he could not find much.)
(But as he continues to be stuck in his own thoughts trying to find an answer, he turns when he sees Bronson walking in through the locker room.)
Bronson Daniels: Yo.
Jon Kelton: Hey.
(Bronson ends up closing the door behind him, as he walks towards Kelton and then he sits down on the bench right next to him. Bronson tries to go to another topic but it doesn’t take him long to notice that Kelton had something in his mind. He lets out a small sigh as he puts a hand on the shoulder of his partner.)
Bronson Daniels: You can be honest with me, you know?
(Kelton nods slowly in response.)
Jon Kelton: Yeah, I do know that.
Bronson Daniels: You are not in the right headspace, are you?
Jon Kelton: Come on.
Bronson Daniels: No, no, I am actually being serious. If there is anything that you need to talk about, I am here for a reason, you are not going into this thing alone, we are going and fighting this fight the both of us together, those championships symbolize the people holding them as the best tag team around, and I truly believe that everything that we have gone through, every action that we had to take to get to here, I truly believe I have created an unbreakable bond with someone else that I never believed I was going to make with another person here. That is why I am truly not afraid to call you a brother.
Jon Kelton: …I am not afraid either to call you that.
Bronson Daniels: Then I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that my brother is alright.
(Kelton nods towards Bronson, a small smile forming in his face after hearing Bronson’s words of encouragement.)
Bronson Daniels: You are afraid of having to face Pandora.
Jon Kelton: Yeah, obviously I am, and I do know that I need to get my head into the game, don’t let myself get distracted and lose what is important here, believe me, even though I am still thinking it over and over again, that day I am going to be fully focused on our match and winning those tag titles. Yeah, I am scared to death because I just got back with Pandora, and I am scared to hurt her like that, but I assure you that we had that kind of talk already, she knows what she is going to expect, I know what I am going to expect heading into that match, and even though I am going to make sure to care for her every day, I am not going to hold back against her that day, I assure you.
Bronson Daniels: Damn, so you mean to tell me that I am going to get special privileges that day as well?
Jon Kelton: Alright, don’t start being a smartass.
(Kelton and Bronson let out a small laugh after that comment, but they suddenly stop themselves as they turn and hear a door opening right next to them. Their eyes widened in surprise when they saw that both Pandora and Halsey entered through the door, they did not expect the two of them to be here tonight at all. Pandora let out a small smile in response.)
Pandora Paisley: Space for two more, love?
(Pandora enters and Halsey closes the door behind her, an awkward silence plagues the room after the door is closed but Halsey decides to clear her throat and step forward herself, speaking up.)
Halsey Neel: Look, I don’t like to repeat myself but I believe it is better if I say my words in front of both of your faces rather than in front of the cameras, it is truly hard to be able to make me feel any kind of respect to another competitor aside from the people that I call my friends and partners, and heading into this match, I do not feel any resent to the two of you, even after the complicated past that I have with one of you, I do feel actual respect. It does not mean I am going to be weaker for Elysium. I will treat our match like any other battle that I have gone through several times. There is nothing that is going to get in our way from defending these championships, and I do mean that.
Bronson Daniels: The sentiment is the same.
(At that moment though, Pandora doesn’t say much herself and she stays quiet, all while Kelton simply looks away and doesn’t say anything else either. Both Halsey and Bronson end up noticing this. Bronson turns and then puts a hand on Kelton’s shoulder to try and encourage him while Halsey turns to look towards Pandora, her expression serious but slightly worried. Pandora turns to see Halsey and nods slowly, finally speaking up.)
Pandora Paisley: Believe me, I am not someone to be so easily discouraged when I face these kinds of obstacles. Yeah, I am not going to act like I don’t completely care about this, this is truly a hard experience that I will have to learn from to be able to grow stronger, even when I believe I have truly understood everything, I get thrown more obstacles. But I am going to end up overcoming them my way, and all of this is nothing different, I am not going to allow anything to stop me from defending this title. But…
(Pandora stops talking for a moment and then she lets out a deep sigh.)
Pandora Paisley: I know that this situation can turn into a slippery slope, because the last time I hurt you badly, Kelton, and I am very regretful about what happened, I don’t want that to happen again. But I know that these titles are so important for both of the teams, so the best thing that I can say for this kind of dilemma is that we just go out there… and tear the house down.
(Halsey and Bronson both end up nodding while Kelton lets out a smile again and nods as well.)
Jon Kelton: Bronson, Halsey, can I?
(Halsey and Bronson turn and agree, Bronson stands up and backs away as Pandora walks over and then sits right next to him. The two grab each other’s hands and look towards their eyes.)
Jon Kelton: I love you, and I truly feel and know that you love me as well. I know that this is a situation that we are going to have to go through in different manners, because as you said, when we get inside of that ring, we will fight with everything that we can to be able to either win or defend those championships. Whenever the match that ends, whoever wins, I know that we will still be together. Because the love that we have is strong, and I am not going to let it be broken, I assure you.
Pandora Paisley: I won’t let it break either.
(Kelton and Pandora stare at each other for a few seconds before they finally lean forward, and they kiss each other. The kiss lasts a few seconds as they slowly pull away and they smile towards the other. Kelton nods slowly and then gets up, Bronson stands over the door with a small smile as he pushes it open and the two of them end up leaving.)
(Pandora gets up as well, turning towards Halsey with a small smile, as Halsey doesn’t do anything else but simply raise her fist, which Pandora accepts, and they fist bump. The champions stand on the same page too, as they move quickly to leave out the door as well and follow after Kelton and Bronson.)
(But in the hallway just a few doors down, Silas Mason is looking on, as he looks at his phone, and brings up the name of another woman he once managed and led to a World Championship, that being Regan Street.)
(And in those last few moments, Showdown fades away to commercials.)
(The camera returns to the arena where there is another brief moment of silence between all the action. Seconds later, “Enemy” by From Ashes to New starts to play and the crowd immediately starts to get negative as the Answers World Champion Donovan Duke enters the arena. Naturally, Silas Mason is accompanying the champion as he stands in front of Donovan and leads the champion to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome to the ring at this time… SILAS MASON AND THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! DONOVAN DUKE!
Deadprez: Aren’t we just so lucky? The Devious and Debonair one has graced us with his presence along with that dumb bald asshole. We can only wonder what they have to say.
Eve: Even though Donovan’s attitude has been completely horrible lately, we need to stay as neutral as we can on the subject. Last week, Donovan Duke was in the ring for a contract signing with his challenger for the Answers World Championship in SOSA Henderson.
Gavin Kirkland: Like all EAW contract signings, things got ugly in a hurry as Silas Mason cheap shotted SOSA in the back of the head with the Answers World Title belt leading to the assault on the challenger. SOSA fought back, but it was to no avail.
Deadprez: Yeah, the champion got the advantage with a well-placed kick in the nuts before hitting him with that Supreme Verdict of his. Donovan Duke has held a stronghold on the Answers World Championship since Road to Redemption. Will it happen again? I guess we will see soon as we are about to hear from the Answers World Champion.
(Donovan and Silas walk by Gina Romano as Donovan grabs a microphone from her as Silas holds the ropes for Donovan to enter the ring before he follows suit. Both men are standing front and center as Donovan takes off his sunglasses and looks at the crowd who hates him before he begins to speak.)
Donovan Duke: Yes, Dublin, it’s nice to be seen. Thank you very much!
Crowd: ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE!
Donovan Duke: Can’t you guys come up with a chant that’s a little more creative. Does doing everything that I have done the last few months constitute me as an asshole?
Crowd: YES! YES! YES!
Donovan Duke: Well if doing whatever I had to do to get to the top of the mountain makes me an asshole, then all you jealous fucks can keep calling me an asshole because there is absolutely nothing wrong with what I have done.
Donovan Duke: Anyways, as much as you guys have tried to disown me, but you guys can NOT ignore the fact that I am STILLLLLLLLL your Answers World Champion and that is not going to change for a very VERY long time.
Donovan Duke: With me being the Answers World Champion right now, that means that I am only a few months away from main eventing Pain for Pride for the first time in my career and I am no doubt deserving of that spot.
Donovan Duke: After Pain for Pride, I will continue to be successful as I already have been and I will continue to stop at NOTHING until I damn well please. You assholes wanna know why?
Crowd: NO!
Donovan Duke: Well, tough shit!! Because you are in the presence of the man who is going to go down as the GREATEST ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION OF ALL TIME!! NOT TLA! NOT KASSIDY HEART! NOT ANYBODY ELSE!
(The crowd continues to boo Donovan, who rolls his eyes at the reaction the crowd is still giving him. He takes a moment to glare at the crowd before Silas Mason calms him down a little before he continues to speak.)
Donovan Duke: That’s exactly what SOSA Henderson found out about last week and that is that I am the best on Showdown. And if he thinks—
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd goes absolutely crazy. Seconds later, SOSA Henderson enters the arena wearing his SOSA-style sunglasses. You can tell by the grimace on his face that he is mad as he heads right to the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: To quote a very famous catchphrase, business is about to pick up here because SOSA Henderson is heading to the ring with a purpose.
Eve: I don’t blame him considering that Donovan kicked him below the belt last week. I wouldn’t be surprised if SOSA just punched him in the mouth.
Deadprez: SOSA said everything he has done this season is all for the purpose of becoming World Champion again and he would love nothing more than to take the title from this nutcase Donovan Duke. We’re about to hear what SOSA has to say.
(SOSA grabs a microphone from Gina and enters the ring before getting face to face with Donovan. SOSA takes off his shades and locks eyes with Donovan before his music goes off and he starts to speak.)
SOSA Henderson: I bet you feel pretty damn proud of yourself after what you did last week, huh? Of course you would feel good because you used some pretty underhanded tactics. Believe me, I am going to get some payback for that. Mark my words!
SOSA Henderson: But let me make it clear to you that it might be easy to get the one up on me because you used trickery, but you are going against the man who wrote the book on trickery.
SOSA Henderson: It was that same book that led me to defeating you at Midsummer Massacre earlier this season. At Grand Rampage, it’s going to be the same book that’s going to defeat you again. This time it’s going to cost you dearly as I am going to take that title and become what I was always going to be and that is the Answers World Champion.
Donovan Duke: Are you done? Because if I am being honest, I am so sick of hearing you talk. Not about any topic in particular. I mean in general. I am sick of hearing your voice and I am sick of hearing you go on and on about how you are going to be World Champion.
SOSA Henderson: You are tired of hearing me because I am speaking the truth. You are one week away from losing your title and you are scared. You are scared of your world just crashing down before you just as it is getting started.
Donovan Duke: Is that what you think, SOSA? Because I think that you are just hyping yourself up in a way that you keep believing in yourself because you know the truth. Just like what you knew at Midsummer Massacre. That I am the better wrestler.
SOSA Henderson: You better than me? Shit, Duke, you’ve lost your fucking mind. Someone needs to come and get you to lock you up in the loony bin.
Donovan Duke: Of course you would paint me as crazy because I am the best and I am going to be the best for a very long time. By the way, you might have wrote the book on trickery, but I think it’s time for an updated edition….
(Donovan looks at Silas before looking back at SOSA with a grin.)
Donovan Duke: STARTING NOW!!
(As Donovan and SOSA are glaring at each other, Silas is slipping something on Donovan’s right hand.)
Eve: Wait! What the hell did Silas just put on Donovan’s hand?
Deadprez: IT’S THOSE DAMN BRASS KNUCKLES AGAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA doesn’t have clue AS DONOVAN GOES FOR THE ‘OLE RELIABLE PUNCH, BUT SOSA WAS ABLE TO AVOID AND HE CATCHES DONOVAN WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN! IT WAS LIKE SOSA KNEW IT WAS COMING!
Deadprez: Donovan is down and trying to get back to his feet, BUT SOSA IS READY FOR HIM! HE IS WAITING FOR DONOVAN TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET!
Eve: Donovan is on his feet AND SOSA GRABS HIS NECK! SOSA LOOKING TO PLANT DONOVAN WITH THE STOLE YO BITCH AGAIN–
(At the last second, Silas grabs Donovan by the leg and pulls him out of the ring as the crowd starts to boo the Champion and Silas Mason. Silas hands Donovan the belt and they both head up the entrance ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: SILAS MASON IS RIGHT THERE TO SAVE DONOVAN DUKE ONCE AGAIN AT THE BEST POSSIBLE MOMENT BEFORE SOSA COULD HIT THE CUTTER!
Eve: Now the Champion and his manager are heading up the ramp like the cowards that they are.
Deadprez: At Grand Rampage, there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Donovan Duke and SOSA Henderson are going to FIGHT with the Answers World Championship on the line. These two are going to beat the hell out of each other.
(The final shot shows SOSA yelling at Donovan from the ring while motioning around his waist that he is coming for the title before cutting to Donovan who is heading up the entrance ramp with Silas Mason. Donovan is yelling back at SOSA as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(The flashback video begins of Grand Rampage Rewind 2024.)
(The camera pans to Gina Romano to announce the introductions to the Answers World Championship Match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: AND IT IS FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
(The crowd erupts in cheers.)
Gina Romano: FIRST THE CHALLENGER, FROM NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK! WEIGHING IN AT 240 POUNDS! HE IS “THE JUSTICE SEEKER”…. CY HENDERSON!
(Tupac Back – Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross starts to play throughout the arena as the fans get up and stand on their feet cheering. Cy Henderson walks out and looks out at the sold out crowd, he smiles and salutes them before running down the long ramp.)
Deadprez: And here comes Cy Henderson, the challenger to the Answers World Championship, where he earned that right at The Blind Faith winning the whole thing and with the history that both Cy and Chef Viz have! This is going to be a special one! We are talking there will be a definitive winner here!
Eve: We are talking about a match a year in the making, from their last match at Midsummer Massacre to now, and this is for all the marbles, and the biggest thing about it, so close to Pain For Pride, I think it is safe to say one of these two men will be Main Eventing in Orlando!
Gavin Kirkland: Talk about a big fight feel, and we are not talking about my ladies! But this match, it feels different, like something special is going to happen, you know what Eve is?
Eve: What is it Gavin?
Gavin Kirkland: Two beefy meaty sons of bitches slapping meat, I love it!
Eve: :francis:
(Cy Henderson slides into the ring, he gets up and holds his hands up as the fans continue to cheer, he stands in the middle of the ring and salutes the fans as his music starts to fade and it is replaced by “Shut the fuck up talking to me” By Zack Fox starts to play throughout the arena, the fans also stand up and cheer while some boo.)
Gina Romano: HIS OPPONENT HAILS FROM DETROIT, MICHIGAN! WEIGHING IN AT 270 POUNDS…. THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION….. CHEF VIZ!!!!
The crowd starts to chant as the World Champion walks out and points to them, heading to the ring.)
Crowd: COOK VIZ COOK! COOK VIZ COOK! COOK VIZ COOK!
(Chef Viz heads to the ring as the fans continue their chant, he looks right at Cy Henderson waiting in the ring.)
Deadprez: THE WORLD CHAMPION IS HERE! Chef Viz has been an incredible champion taking on all challengers, but this may be the toughest one to date, the question is, can he survive the onslaught that is Cy Henderson, we are about to find out!
Eve: This one is too close to call, a match between two of the very best, period. Cy earned this spot, and Chef Viz knows that a loss here could be damaging heading into Pain For Pride.
Gavin Kirkland: COOK VIZ COOK! The Chef is about to make us some dinner and on the menu is BIG PIECE OF SIRLOIN! We are going to eat good tonight!
(Chef Viz is in the ring, he stands on the second rope and points to the crowd, he then drops and stands in front of Cy Henderson before handing the title over to the referee who checks both participants and calls for the bell.)
(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
(Both men circle the ring, they look at each other before locking up and the referee watches as there is already a test of strength, but it is not long before Chef Viz is able to get Cy Henderson to the ropes.)
Deadprez: Chef Viz taking the early advantage but he breaks clean. Cy Henderson is a bit surprised as he now circles the ring again, as they lock up for the second time. This time Cy drops a knee, to get some momentum, he pushes Chef Viz to the ropes this time, will he break clean?
Eve: He does, and now Chef Viz is the one surprised. Both men are showing some respect right now in the early goings of this match as they circle the ring one more time and lock up, they are looking to take any advantage they can. Another push this time Chef Viz is getting the advantage…. No, Cy Henderson instead is able to arm drag Viz!
Gavin Kirkland: Cy showing his power and Hollywood Action Hero body! He catches Viz by surprise, with another arm drag! Viz though is quick like a cat, he comes back charging at Cy who hits a hip toss! Chef Viz rolls out of the ring to stop the momentum!
(Chef Viz walks around on the outside, holding his back for a moment, Cy sits on the ropes inviting him back in, as Viz just smiles, but he takes his time, all before sliding back in the ring. Cy gives him a second as Chef Viz circles the ring again.)
Eve: Both men are trying to get the advantage, as they lock up one more time, but wait, Chef Viz uses his power to push Cy into the turnbuckle, the referee is trying to get a break from both, but Viz is not having it, shoulder block after shoulder block! He is raising Cy Henderson off his feet!
Deadprez: Chef Viz is not using that power! That strength, you feel me? He knows that he can match that with Cy Henderson, so he keeps thrusting his shoulder into the midsection of Cy! Now he grabs him by the arm, whipping Cy into the opposite turnbuckle, WAIT! Cy Henderson reverses it and Viz crashes into it chest first, he tumbles back!
Gavin Kirkland: GERMAN SUPLEX on Chef Viz! He folded him like an accordion and Cy Henderson isn’t done! Viz is back up and he stumbles into the ropes, right into the arms of Cy Henderson, BODY SLAM and Chef Viz shakes the ring with a thunderous fall by Cy Henderson! Chef Viz again rolls out of the ring!
(Chef Viz again can’t get out of the gate, he holds his back hurting in pain as he walks around the ring. Again, the referee is not counting but this time Cy is watching him closely…)
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson running into the other side of the ring, he bounces off, HE JUST TORPEDOED CHEF VIZ RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE! AIR CY HAS JUST TOOK OFF AND THE FANS HAVE POPPED UP SCREAMING IN CHEERS AS THEY DID NOT EXPECT THAT FROM CY!
Crowd: CY! CY! CY! CY! CY! CY! CY!
Eve: The crowd is going crazy for Cy Henderson who looks out to the fans and high fives a couple! He picks up Viz and throws him into the ring, wait… Cy is hopping on the apron, and he is climbing the top rope, waiting for Viz to get back to his feet, and as he does…. FLYING BODY PRESS BY CY! He hooks the leg for an early cover!
ONE!!!
T –
Deadprez: Chef Viz muscles out and Cy wants to continue the momentum, he runs against the ropes, Viz is back up…. SHOULDER TACKLE! Knocks Viz right back down! Chef Viz though is not staying down for long! He is right back to his feet. Cy with a forearm, and another, Irish whipping Viz to the ropes, He goes for a POWERSLAM…. NO! Chef Viz floats over and Cy turns around, Chef Viz WITH HIS OWN POWERSLAM AND HE KILLS CY’S MOMENTUM! STOPS IT IN ITS TRACKS!
(The crowd cheers, some boo as Viz catches his breath, Cy though is not staying down for long, he slowly gets right back up as Viz watches, he turns and grabs Cy….)
Eve: SPINEBUSTER! What a move that drove Cy to the mats! Chef Viz knows that he has to stay on top of this man! He doesn’t go for the cover, instead Viz is climbing up to the second rope, he props up…. SPLASH FROM THE SECOND ROPE AND NOW HE HOOSK A LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TW –
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson kicks out! Not even a two count! It is going to take a lot to get these two big beefy sons of bitches down! Chef Viz knows that and much as he wants to cook, right now, he is finding it a little more difficult than he thought! Cy Henderson is already getting back on his feet, as Chef Viz watches… spinning him around, NO! CY WITH A CLOTHESLINE AND KNOCKS CHEF VIZ DOWN!
Deadprez: Cy runs against the ropes; LEG DROP and he rolls back to his feet…. Follows it with an elbow and look at the fans! They are cheering this man on as Cy looks out and acknowledges them! Cy waits as Viz is getting up and I must say these two are not letting anything keep them down almost six minutes into this match. A lot of these athletes are so well trained in cardio, you look at this two, and they are surprisingly able to go on for a long time!
Eve: They really are Prez. Cy Henderson and Chef Viz while it is still early in this match will not stay down! Cy waits as Chef Viz is back up, Cy hits him with a few rights and lefts staggering the Answers World Champion, who is now on the ropes, Cy steps back a little, he goes for another swing…. VIZ HOIST HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CY HITS THE APRON ON THE WAY DOWN!
Deadprez: Cy is down, though he is getting up, Chef Viz… with an OVER THE TOP ROPE BODY PRESS AND SMASHES CY INTO THE FLOOR MATS BELOW! What a move! Viz is now the one standing as the referee is about to start the count but Viz grabs his hand!
Chef Viz: (Off-Mic) Uh… no.
(The referee listens to the champion and backs off from the count. Chef Viz then grabs Cy Henderson….)
(SLAM!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: Chef Viz just slammed Cy’s head into our table! Now he grabs him and throws him into the steel steps!
(CRASH!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson is thrown into the Steel Steps and now the vicious side of Chef Viz is coming out! He starts kicking a downed Cy Henderson, showing him absolutely no mercy! Now he is driving the knee into Cy, crushing him against the steel steps!
(The referee jumps down to the floor, he separates Chef Viz and tells him to get back in the ring, but it is harder than anticipated as Chef Viz knees Cy one more time for good measure before picking him up and throwing Cy into the ring.)
Deadprez: After a feeling out period, the Chef is not playing anymore, he is cooking dawg, and he wants to take out Cy Henderson no questions asked! He has Cy down and runs against the ropes…. CORKSCREW ELBOW! Here is the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Cy Henderson kicks out with authority! Chef Viz back on his feet, he picks up Cy and throws him into the turnbuckle, charges in with a vicious elbow to the face of Cy and hooks his head… Running Bulldog and Cy is down! But Chef Viz is not done! He is right back up, running against the ropes, ROLLING THUNDER BY THE BIG MAN AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
T –
Deadprez: Cy Henderson is still kicking out with authority! Chef Viz looks over at the referee and quickly slams his hands together! He is telling the referee to count faster. Chef Viz though, grabs Cy Henderson and picks him up and now hoists him over his shoulder, sitting him on the top rope!
Gavin Kirkland: It looks like Chef is going for a big move here! He looks like he is trying to go for a Belly to Belly suplex! He tries to pull him over! If Chef Viz hits this…. It is over! He attempts the Belly to Belly again…. And again….. but NO!
Eve: Cy Henderson with a Headbutt! And another! And another! Chef Viz is wobbly on the top rope and Cy scoops him up! He has him up and…. OVER THE SHOULDER POWERSLAM FROM THE TOP ROPE AND THE RING SHOOK! CHEF VIZ IS DOWN AND CY HENDERSON IS DOWN! BUT HE CRAWLS OVER ON TOP OF VIZ AND WE MAY HAVE A NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE –
Deadprez: KICK OUT BY CHEF VIZ! I am telling you right now that both of these men are on another level and with ten minutes already into this match, these two are beating the hell out of one another!
(Chef Viz and Cy Henderson lie in the middle of the ring for a moment, both men are laid out as the referee has no choice but to count.)
Referee: (Off Mic) 1! 2! 3! 4! 5!
(Chef Viz slowly starts to move, Cy Henderson is already sat up but is having problems moving, as he tries to reach the ropes to get up.)
Referee: (Off Mic) 6! 7! 8! 9! –
(Cy Henderson is up as Chef Vis slowly sits up breaking the count. He takes a second to compose himself as Viz slowly gets to his feet.)
Deadprez: Two men already feeling the war they have been through, and it is still early in the match! Chef Viz holds on to the ropes as Cy Henderson grabs him, But Chef Viz hits Cy with the IKE TURNER SPECIAL! He backhands the hell out of Cy Henderson, and he is seeing stars! Chef Viz picks him up….NO!
Eve: Cy Henderson was able to reverse whatever it was that Chef Viz was trying to do, he turns around and… KICK TO THE STOMACH…. DOWNWARD SPIRAL THE FISHERMAN’S BUSTER! HE PLANTED CHEF VIZ AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE –
Eve: CHEF VIZ KICKS OUT! Cy Henderson though shakes his head; he knows that a lot more has to be done to take down the Answers World Champion! Cy Henderson knows that he has to dig deeper and deeper to get it done! He’s back up and grabs Chef Viz, a few forearms keeps him stunned, whipping him into the turnbuckle… Chef Viz gets a leg up and Cy runs into it! He is stunned, stumbling back and Viz –
Gavin Kirkland: VDT!!!! HE PLANTED CY HENDERSON WITH THAT VICIOUS SPINNING DDT/REVERSE STO COMBINATION! CY HENDERSON MIGHT BE DONE FOR BUT CHEF VIZ IS NOT GOING FOR THE COVER, HE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES AND HUGE SPLASH ON CY AND NOW HE HOOKS THE LEG! THE BEEFY SPLASH!

Deadprez: Cy Henderson AGAIN was able to kick out! You can see the frustration on Chef Viz now, he wants to finish this, and for how long they have been wrestling it makes sense, but the Answers World Champion needs to dig a little deeper to get the job done! He doesn’t waste any time, raising Cy up by the hair, HEADBUTT! ANOTHER HEADBUTT! AND ANOTHER HEADBUTT!
Eve: Cy is wobbly on his feet, spaghetti legged! As Viz still has a hold of his head! He then hooks Cy by the front face lock….TWISTING NECK BREAKER AND CY IS DOWN! Chef Viz has taken total control of this match and now he has him down! Viz roll him over while grabbing his legs, turning it into a BOSTON CRAB! He has it hooked and Chef Viz is looking to put more pressure on the back of Cy Henderson and maybe get a submission!
(Chef Viz wrenches back on the Boston Crab as Cy Henderson is in the middle of the ring, he is trying anything and everything to power out, planting his hands on the mats and slowly pushing up, )
Gavin Kirkland: What a man! He is trying to muscle himself up from the Boston Crab, showing the entire world what he can do! Look at his strength! Those muscles! That beef! This is why he is a LEGEND! He….. oh damn, never mind, Chef Viz just yanked him back harder and Cy dropped. :wow:
Deadprez: The power of Chef Viz is showing right now! As He leans back even more, and we can hear the screams of Cy Henderson! BUT… look at Cy! Now he is crawling toward the ropes! The fans are fully behind him!
Crowd: CY!!! CY!!!! CY!!! CY!!! CY!!! CY!!!
Eve: Cy Henderson is showing his skills, he is slowly trying to push the big man Viz with him! An incredible showing of might as he slowly reaches to the ropes, BUT VIZ STANDS UP AND PULLS HIM RIGHT BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND NOW CY HENDERSON MAY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP OUT!
Deadprez: He has his arm up! HE LOOKS READY TO TAP! THE PAIN MUST BE MASSIVE AS CY CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE! BUT LOOK AT CY HENDERSON! HE IS SLOWLY POWERING UP AGAIN!
(Cy Henderson plants his hands on the mat again in pure desperation, he is trying his hardest to power up, but this might be it for him as Chef Viz holds down that Boston Crab. The fans continue to cheer him on as he screams.)
Eve: LOOK AT CY HENDERSON! THE POWER HE POSSESSES NOT ONLY IN BODY BUT STRENGTH! HE IS SLOWLY LIFTING HIS BODY UP AND THE PAIN…. YOU CAN SEE IT! YOU CAN HEAR IT! HE LETS OUT ONE MORE SCREAM –
Gavin Kirkland: HE USES ALL OF HIS BODY STRENGTH TO PUSH VIZ FORWARD AND HE RELEASES THE BOSTON CRAB!

Deadprez: Chef Viz cannot lose it here! He cannot! He has to stay focused on Cy Henderson, or he will lose his Answers World Championship! He has Cy Henderson by the hair, slowly lifting him up and punching him a few times, Viz now locks in the Bear Hug… NO! Cy Henderson locks Viz instead and BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! He countered it and Chef Viz was stunned!
Gavin Kirkland: Viz is stunned! He is down and everyone is up to their feet as Cy Henderson is slowly using the ropes to help himself back up! The fans are going wild inside the stadium as Cy Henderson is back up, Chef Viz is up now too and…. SHOULDER TACKLE BY CY HENDERSON! VIZ IS DOWN BUT HE GETS RIGHT BACK UP! CY HENDERSON RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES AGAIN… SHOULDER TACKLE ONE MORE TIME! WE HAVE AIR MEAT HERE!

He had Cy Henderson down but now Chef Viz is slapping himself, trying to get the cobwebs and dizziness out! He is back up to his feet! Cy is trying to find his own way back up, slowly moving to the ropes, he grabs them, and as he gets up –
Deadprez: CHEF VIZ WITH A FLYING BODY PRESS AND CY HENDERSON CATCHES HIM! WAIT A SECOND… THEY BOTH FLY OVER THE TOP ROPE! THE REFEREE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, HE WANTS TO MAKE THAT COUNT BUT INSTEAD HE REFUSES TO!
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT!!! LET THEM FIGHT!!!! LET THEM FIGHT!!!
Gavin Kirkland: That is exactly what the referee is doing! He is letting this meaty men fight, and both are down in front of us! Both fell hard on the ground from the huge bump they took!
( Chef Viz is up first, he Is leaning against the announcers table, looking over as Cy Henderson is slowly up to his feet, he is back up – )

Gavin Kirkland: How did it feel? Did it taste like Gatorade?
Deadprez: What?
Gavin Kirkland: Cy’s sweat? How did it feel having his sweaty, manly meaty body all over you?
Deadprez: I’m gonna whoop yo ass after the show.

Crowd: FIGHT FOREVER!!!!!! FIGHT FOREVER!!!!!!!! FIGHT FOREVER!!!!!!!!
(Chef Viz is trying to reach the ropes, but he is too far away as Cy Henderson presses the move back putting more pressure on Chef Viz. Cy Henderson is keeping it locked in hard as he can, but that is not going to matter as Chef Viz has nowhere to go.)
Deadprez: We could be seeing the end of the match! We are about to crown a NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! CHEF VIZ LOOKS READY TO TAP! HE IS TRYING TO REACH THE ROPES AND NOW…. WAIT…. LOOK AT CHEF VIZ! NOW IT IS HIS TURN TO MUSCLE UP! IT IS HIS TURN TO SHOW US HIS STRENGTH!

Gavin Kirkland: IT IS OVER! CHEF VIZ ALL HE HAS TO DO IS APPLY MORE PRESSURE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CY HENDERSON CAN DO! WE ARE LOOKING AT THE END TO THIS! HE IS DONE!
(The referee looks at Cy and lifts up his arm……)
Eve: It drops for the first time!
(The referee looks at Cy and lifts up his arm again for a second time……)
Eve: IT DROPPED AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME! THIS COULD BE OVER!
(The referee looks at Cy and lifts up his arm again for a third and last time……)
Eve: It…. DIDN’T DROP! CY HENDERSON IS STILL IN THIS AND CHEF VIZ CAN’T BELIEVE IT! CY RUNS BACKWARDS CAUSING VIZ TO HIT THE TURNBUCKLE AND THE WHIPLASH CAUSED VIZ TO HIT THE BACK OF HIS HEAD ON THE STEEL PART OF IT! HE LOOKS HURT AND STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER…..

Deadprez: THE REFEREE IS CALLING IT OFF! HE DIDN’T SEE THE FOOT ON THE ROPE AND HE IS CALLING IT OFF!
(The referee goes to Gina Romano and explains the situation.)
Gina Romano: EAW UNIVERSE, THE REFEREE DID NOT SEE THE FOOT OF CHEF VIZ ON THE ROPES, THEREFORE HE HAS RESTARTED THE MATCH!
(There is a chorus of boos and some cheers as the referee calls for the bell and the match to resume.)
(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
Deadprez: The match has restarted, and Cy Henderson is looking for an explanation as to what happened, he doesn’t see Chef Viz getting back up to his feet, The referee is telling him the foot was on the ropes! TURN AROUND CY!

(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. AND STILL THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…. CHEF VIZ!
(“Shut the fuck up talking to me” By Zack Fox starts to play throughout the arena. Chef Viz slowly rolls off Cy Henderson exhausted and barely able to even sit up. The referee shows him the title as he grabs it and holds it close to him while Cy starts to slowly stir. The fans continue to cheer at their efforts as both men are still down.)
Deadprez: I AM EXHAUSTED! WHAT A MATCH! These two put everything on the line and had a classic! Cy Henderson had the match won many times, even had the three count but the referee saw the foot on the ropes and decided to continue the match. Chef Viz took advantage and eventually won the war!
Eve: Talk about a back and forth? At one point we thought there was a new EAW World Champion, but Chef Viz had answers to all the questions and now he will go on to Fighting Spirit, one more obstacle, and then comes Pain For Pride, nothing but respect for Cy Henderson.
Gavin Kirkland: This delivered, these two big beefy sirloin sons a bitches delivered! I need some cold water!
(Chef Viz is finally able to get to his feet, the referee hands him the Answers World Championship as Cy Henderson slowly rolls to his side and lays at the bottom of the ropes looking up at the champions. Chef Viz looks over at him and extends his hand…..)
Eve: Chef Viz showing Cy Henderson respect!
(Cy nods and shakes his hand as he rolls out of the ring holding his head while Chef Viz raises the title in the air, the fans cheer loudly.)
Deadprez: A show of sportsmanship by Chef Viz as he raises the title high. He knows that he was in a war, and he walks out as champion, and with eh Grand Rampage coming up next, Chef Viz may not have to wait long because if one of the Showdown stars wins, that might be his opponent at Pain for Pride.
Gavin Kirkland: COOK CHEF VIZ! COOK!
Eve: Congratulations to Chef Viz and Cy Henderson who really brought it tonight! We will be right back with the Grand Rampage Match!
(The scene slowly fades showing Chef Viz raising the title one more time as Cy slowly walks toward the back, breaking to a commercial break.)
(As the last commercial break ends, “Another World” by Gojira starts to play throughout the arena. Silas Mason walks out by himself and heads to the ring after what he feels has been one of those nights where not much has gone his way. The crowd boos loudly.)
Deadprez: Silas Mason is coming out and he is walking with a purpose. We saw what happened to Silas World tonight.
Eve: And he didn’t get the answer he was looking for from Alana Starr. Things are not going his way heading into Grand Rampage.
Gavin Kirkland: They are not but Silas is a genius, and he is obviously coming out for something!
(Silas doesn’t look happy, rolling in the ring and grabbing the mic.)
Silas Mason: Cut the music.
(The music dies down.)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Silas pays no attention to the crowd.)
Silas Mason: You can boo me all that you want and after this night, I am sure that all of you here in this hell hole of Dublin where your beer tastes like motor oil, enjoyed what has happened to Silas World so far tonight, but the person I blame most is Alana Starr, because she had an opportunity to work with me, to help Showdown become the absolute best .
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silas Mason: Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead and boo me, I do not care, but if you think that Showdown is going to end and head into the Grand Rampage, you are sadly mistaken. See, with such an important event happening next week, and the start on the road to Pain For Pride, and Silas World WILL be a part of that!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(All he does is shake his head before turning back to the camera.)
Silas Mason: And now you think that we are just going to allow for this brand to take control? Not happening. We already saw the unfortunate incident that took Kennedy Street out, and trust me, that is not what I wanted. Kennedy is very special to me, the same with Alana, the whole reason I was brought here was to elevate Showdown and THAT is exactly what I have done!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silas Mason: You people know nothing! What I have done is fulfilled my promise to them, and that was to help this brand and those that in the past have been overlooked or not appreciated for their talents and not put in a spot that can be identified as nothing more than –
(Suddenly “Fantasy” by I Will Never Be The Same starts to play as the fans stand up and cheer. Alana Starr slowly walks out and looks around at the large Dublin crowd. She smiles and heads to the ring with a mic in hand.)
Deadprez: Here comes the interim GM! She has heard enough and is coming out, and Alana already said that she will not concede to Silas Mason and his desire to take over Showdown!
Eve: She looks intent. Usually a smile on her face, the young Alana Starr looks mad!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s sexy when mean!
(Alana gets in the ring, Silas Mason tries to open the rope for her, but she ignores it and instead gets in the ring on her own.)
Alana Starr: Cut the music please.
(Her theme dies down.)
Alana Starr: What are you doing out here, Silas? We are getting ready to go off the air and give these people some exclusive wrestling matches just for the fans here in Dublin.
(The crowd cheers.)
Crowd: EAW!!! EAW!!! EAW!!! EAW!!! EAW!!!
Alana Starr: I gave you my answer, and I am sorry that Silas World hasn’t had a great night but that is all your fault! See, the way I look at it, Silas it is simple. You have not been honest this entire time and have an issue with my answer last week, but there is nothing that you can do about it now. The Answers World Champion has the toughest challenge ahead, Harper and Ronan must fend off Veena and Milli. Brianna must defend her title against Selina Reyes, and none of your stable are in the Grand Rampage and I will make sure that it stays that way.
Silas Mason: Listen Ala-
Alana Starr: Do NOT interrupt me!
Crowd: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
(The crowd is going wild as Alana smirks. Silas is looking frazzled as he continues to glare at Alana Starr.)
Alana Starr: You heard Dublin. Now listen closely, Silas, I’m not going to tell you again. I am done playing these games with you, okay? I gave you my answer and meant every word of it. Now get out of the ring and let Showdown go off the air and give these people the great wrestling matches that they paid for.
Crowd: EAW!!! EAW!!! EAW!!! EAW!!! EAW!!!
(Silas Mason shrugs his shoulders and slowly starts to make his way to the ring. But he stops, then turns around and smiles.)
Alana Starr: What is so funny, Silas?
Silas Mason: Alana, you know me well by now. You understand my premise and why I told you last week to make the right decision. But you didn’t and because of that I tried so hard to warn you but didn’t want to listen. So, your decision has repercussions.
(Alana tilts her head, slowly walking up to the much taller Silas Mason and getting right up to him. Are you threatening me Silas?
Silas Mason: Me? Threaten you, Alana? Of course not. I would never threaten you, but Showdown? Well… that is a different story.
(Silas Mason points to the Tron, as the screen starts to show mayhem in the back. There is a lot of yelling and screaming, it shows Veena Adams on the concrete floor sprawled out unconscious with blood coming down her head, Milli Banks is getting hit again and again with a lead pipe until she stops moving, then the scene shows Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton down as well while Ronan beats them down with a lead pipe.)
Alana Starr: SILAS!?
(Silas just smirks as she now sees Harper sitting on Milli choking her out with the lead pipe as she tries to reach out to Veena who isn’t moving, concerned for her. Brianna Hill is hitting Cody Maverick with a chair while Donovan Duke is seen kicking SOSA Henderson who is down, bleeding.)
Alana Starr: STOP THIS NOW!!!!
(The footage shows security and officials down and scattered all over the ground, some more wrestlers from the roster try to get involved but Sorn gets a chair shot to the stomach, Auburn Ware jumps on the back of Brianna Hill as the fans cheer but she is quickly pulled off by a shot with a lead pipe to her back as she crumbles to the ground. Shio is getting thrown over crates by Ronan Malosi as it is pure chaos in the back.)
Alana Starr: STOP THIS NOW!!!
Silas Mason: I told you, there will be consequences.
(Alana doesn’t waste any time and jumps over the top rope and runs to the back as Silas Mason looks on and just smiles.)
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON BACKSTAGE!? IT LOOKS LIKE A DAMN BLOODBATH! SILAS WORLD ALL HAVE LEAD PIPES, CHAIRS AND CROWBARS! THEY ARE DECIMATING THE SHOWDOWN LOCKER ROOM!
Eve: HERE COMES A FEW MORE, NIKKI KIMURA TRIES TO HELP BUT SHE IS SWARMED BY SILAS WORLD AND BEAT DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES TLA! HERE COMES RYAN WILSON! THEY ARE STARTING TO FIGHT OFF SILAS WORLD BUT THEY ARE SWARMED AS WELL! RYAN GETS HIT WITH THE CHAIR! HE FALLS! TLA IS KICKED IN THE FACE BY RONAN MALOSI AND DONOVAN DUKE THROWS HIM INTO THE STEEL LOADING DOCK DOOR!
(Finally, more officials and security come running in, The British Invasion come running out as well, but Silas World already did their damage, and they are slowly backing away. Alana finally makes it backstage. Donovan Duke, Harper Lee, Brianna Hill, and Ronan Malosi stand tall over almost the entire roster with weapons in their hands.)
Alana Starr: GET OUT NOW BEFORE I SUSPEND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!
(Alana looks distressed seeing the carnage as Milli can be seen covering Veena from anymore harm and she took the brunt. Pandora is checking on Jon and Bronson who are down, officials and now medical staff come running out to check all that have fallen.)
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CARNAGE!? SILAS WORLD JUST BEAT UP MORE THAN HALF OF THE SHOWDOWN ROSTER!
Eve: THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!
Gavin Kirkland: YEAH…. I mean you go stop them.
(Silas Mason looks into the camera, bringing the mic to his face and arching his eyebrow. He slowly starts to speak, biting down on his jaw.)
Silas Mason: That is what happens when you try to defy us. Let that be the message… that Showdown? IT IS OUR WORLD!
(“Another World” by Gojira starts to play throughout the arena to the shock and anger of the fans. The boos blanket the mayhem that is going on in the back. The scene changes one more time to medical personnel checking all of the injured wrestlers. Donovan Duke, Harper Lee, Brianna Hill, and Ronan Malosi just look on proud of their work.)
Eve: What does this mean for the Grand Rampage!? For Showdown moving forward!? Damn it!
Gavin Kirkland: It means this is Silas World now!
Deadprez: Nah dawg… nah! Silas Mason…. You can go to hell!
(The final shot is Silas Mason smiling while in the background it shows the Tron where Alana is standing in the middle of the carnage of the fallen Showdown wrestlers around her as it slowly fades.)
