(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of everything that happened in last week’s Super Showdown. Terry Chambers sends a warning to the whole locker room, saying that he plans to clean the place up and he starts that by proclaiming himself for the Grand Rampage match, he gets interrupted by Kirk Redwood, the two of them going on a back and forth before Kirk plans to fight Terry for the brand and to prove it doesn’t need him. Caroline defeats Usagi Senshi, Adam comes out to chase after Caroline, while Usagi snaps and starts destroying everything in ringside and she is kicked out of the arena. Damien Kutcher comes out proclaiming that he will become the next New Breed Championship but he is suddenly speared down by Michael himself. Jane has a quick interview with Mikaela Street where she plans to step up after her latest performances, but she is suddenly attacked by Nikki Kimura and laid out. Madison Kaline versus Princess Candice in a double count out, and Alana comes out to make the match at Grand Rampage a fatal four way with Madison and Candice. Daryl talks with Mikaela about everything that has happened with him recently and that he also declares himself for the Grand Rampage match, with TLA arriving after Daryl and looking on curiously. Ashlynn enters Kennedy’s office to complain about her being horrible and being forced to wear a mask despite her just being doused with powder, Kennedy gives her a disk, to tell Ashlynn to go watch it and to learn from it, the disc having matches of Kennedy herself, as TLA enters after Ashlynn leaves. Chef Viz defeats Kirk Redwood and lays out Cy after the match. Bea and KASAI have a crazy talk between the two that ends with KASAI spitting mist on Bea’s face. Veena gets an interview with Kyra, saying that she isn’t afraid of having more opponents to face in her match, with Daniella interrupting her and telling her to not underestimate her for her match despite her experience, Veena doesn’t take her seriously and Daniella ends up suddenly knocking her down to the ground. Raven Roberts defeats Scott Diamond after Miku tried to interfere with her in the match and she cost it for Scott in an accident, Miku tries to attack but Scott ends up grabbing Miku instead and lays her out himself. Adam Lucas comes out to call out Caroline, Solomon tries to go for a sneak attack but out of nowhere, Dr. Bethany Blue arrives to save Adam and help out his husband, as it is now a tag team match between the four participants. Jon Kelton and ARIA have a talk about what happened last week, the two of them are still not good with each other, but Kelton lays out the request of teaming up despite their differences, with ARIA outright refusing, not being able to trust Kelton after everything that has happened. She slaps him outright and then she leaves. And finally on the main event, ARIA faces Pandora Paisley in a street fight, after many twists and turns, Alex has to throw in the towel after ARIA refuses to give up and submit and Pandora comes out the winner of the match.)
(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 Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska. Fiireworks 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.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WE ARE COMING OFF AN INCREDIBLY TUMULTOUS SUPER SHOWDOWN, AS WE NOW LOOK FORWARD TO IN TWO WEEKS FOR THE PENULTIMATE STOP BEFORE PAIN FOR PRIDE, GRAND RAMPAGE!
Deadprez: We got various Grand Rampage preview matches tonight, but for other matches, we have Daniella Atlas going up against Ashlynn Quinn, as well as Jon Kelton facing Jane Chrissty!
Eve: We see a preview for a tag match as Adam Lucas fights against Solomon Stane, Daryl Kinkade goes head to head with Clayton Golde and in the main event, Miku Sakai goes against Cy Henderson!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S GET STARTED THEN, WE START OFF WITH TLA’S RETURN TO SHOWDOWN!
( ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac starts to play throughout the arena as the fans go wild. They stand up in unison and start to cheer as TLA slowly walks out in a white suit and hat. He takes in the crowd reaction as he heads to the ring.)
Deadprez: TLA IS HOME! He is back on Showdown after the trade between Kennedy Street and Captain Charisma that saw Hikari Kanno sent over to Voltage, and now we have our star, and he is ready to take his place back on top!
Eve: This is huge for Showdown, a former World Champion, a Hall of Fame talent, we are talking about one of the greatest here in the EAW and he is now part of the Blue Brand!
Gavin Kirkland: MY CHINGON IS BACK! YES! ORALE!
Eve: You are so stupid, Gavin.
(TLA reaches the ring, after high fiving some fans, stepping in with a mic in hand, he looks out into the crowd as they chant his name.)
Crowd: TLA!!! TLA!!! TLA!!!
(TLA nods with a smirk on his face, taking off his sunglasses as the crowd pipes down before he speaks.)
TLA: Well look who is here! Orale mi familia, TLA is back on the Blue Brand, and you know that your homie is about to make his challenges with that quickness, cause I’m not here to play juegos!
(The crowd continues to cheer as TLA walks around and smiles, he then points out to the fans before speaking.)
TLA: I didn’t know what to think at first, you know? Showdown traded Hikari Kanno, she is back on Voltage, and doing good, but there was this big question on whether who would come and be the one they traded, well look at here homies, it is TLA. But you know, it is more than just coming back home to Showdown, for I was doing it on that brand Amarillo, you know? Hardcore Champion, and all of that. The one thing that escaped me, well it was the EAW World Championship, and that sucked.
(The fans boo at the fact he never won the EAW World Championship, but TLA tries to brush it off, he came so close at Shock Value but it escaped him. He knows that maybe one day he will get another shot but right now what lies in front of him is so much more important as the newest member of the Showdown roster.)
TLA: And my last Voltage, I wasn’t too happy of that, la doctora with all her drugs and shit… wasn’t how I wanted to leave, but it’s cool, because as one door closes, another opens and you can bet that TLA is gonna walk right in that Puerta and do his thing. People can ask me all day what I really wanna do, well there are two things happening, and I think todas mi gente here knows what that be…. The Grand Rampage. See, I think everyone forgot what I did the last time I was on Showdown, I beat Kassidy Heart and became the Answers World Champion, know what I’m saying? So, what is left for me to do? Win the Grand Rampage?
(The crowd cheers at the sound of that.)
TLA: Main Event Pain For Pride and challenge for the Answers World Championship? Or maybe just go ahead and say it that I am going after that Answers World Championship no matter what, right? See, that has been my goal the entire time I was on the plane to arrive on Showdown, it is what senora Kennedy Street saw in TLA when she wanted me from the Voltage roster, she could have had ANYONE, but she chose ME. That is why when it comes to the Grand Rampage,,,, to Fighting Spirit, to Pain for Pride, there is only one conclusion, rasa, that is to become the Answers World Champion.
(As the fans stand up and cheer, TLA looks around the sold out arena knowing that the fans believe every word that he is saying. TLA though stands for a second leaning against the ropes, he turns his attention over to the camera.)
TLA: I want that entire roster back there to listen very closely to your homie, TLA. This isn’t about just me, nah… this is about Showdown itself. There are some of the best talent on this brand and they all want to be a World Champion, but that Answers title is different, not anyone can win it. At the Grand Rampage, if there is anything that people know is that TLA is gonna be standing tall as el ultimo hombre parado! THE LAST MAN STANDING. And there is nothing that you can do about it. Showdown? TLA IS EN SU CASA! I AM HOME!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac starts to play throughout the arena, everyone stands up and cheers as TLA is in the ring, he poses in front of the sold out crowd, as they continue to shower him with love.)
Deadprez: TLA didn’t bite his tongue, he didn’t sugarcoat anything, he is coming after the Answers World Championship and there isn’t a single soul that is going to do anything about it!
EVE: If there is one thing that we have learned is to believe every word of TLA. He is not a liar, and everything that he says, he means without any conviction. We are looking at an Elitist who has had a great season so far, but he wants more, which is nothing less than the Answers World Championship.
Gavin Kirkland: He definitely is a favorite to win the Grand Rampage! El Hombre is back, and he is ready to take his place back when he left and honestly, Chef Viz and Cy Henderson better pay very close attention to all of this!
(TLA stands in the ring for a second, before he makes his way out, high fiving the fans, as he heads toward the backstage area where it cuts to a commercial break.)
(The camera pans to the ring after the commercial break where we see Gina Romano ready to make the ring introductions.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS THE OPENING MATCH OF SHOWDOWN AND IT IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa plays as Ashlynn Quinn makes her way out onto the stage. She is wearing her protective face mask while making her way down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS….SHE IS “EAW’S FAVORITE BARBIE”…..ASSSHLLYYYNNNN QUUIINNNNN!!!!!
(‘Bloodline’ by Northlane plays as the crowd as Daniella makes her way out to the ring. She takes a deep breath while walking down the ramp and before she enters the ring she has eyes on all three of Candice, Madison, and Veena. She states at Veena who she knows ain’t happy and does the title motion around her waist before turning her attention to Ashlynn. )
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT…FROM DUNKIRK, FRANCE…WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS….SHE IS “THE BLACK FLAME”…..DANNNIELLAAAAA ATTTLLASSSS!!!!
Deadprez: And here we –
(Veena Adams walks out on the stage and makes her way to ringside. As soon as the competitors are about to start they see Princess Candice come out next. And then finally Madison Kaline. All three of them are on 3 different sides of the ring as Danielle is staring holes through all of them.)
Eve: It looks like the rest of the fatal four way puzzle in the National Elite title match wants an up close view of Daniella here tonight. This match is underway as Daniella and and Ashlynn lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up, and Daniella might have an edge as she backs Ashlynn up into the corner, but Ashlynn right away goes between the ropes trying to create some separation and tries keeping her protective mask in place.
Ashlynn Quinn: (no mic) BACK HER UP NOW REF!
(Daniella looks over at all three of her Grand Rampage opponents at ringside.)
Deadprez: Daniella looks like she wants to make a strong impression on the competition as she is pretty much daring her to step up giving her a lot of room. Ashlynn steps out of the corner and then they lock up in the tie-up once again and Daniella looks to have the upper hand as Ashlynn grimaces in pain but Daniella responds by pushing her to the ropes, and then Ashlynn delivers an arm drag sending Daniella to the other end of the ring. Daniella looks to regroup here as she stands up and steps out of the corner here….
Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW ASHLYNN RUNS AND TAKES DOWN DANIELLA WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM! Both of them begin rolling and driving each other’s forearms into the face. Daniella is trying her best to fight back but Ashlynn is like a mad women as she looks to have the upper hand driving the forearm into her face! The referee tries to step in and create a little bit of separation between the two of them but isn’t having the best of luck in doing so. Daniella though reverses and delivers an uppercut before beginning to stomp away on as Ashlynn though grabs the bottom rope and slides out of the ring trying to recuperate and again is focusing on keeping that mask in place….AND HERE COMES DANIELLA WHO TAKES HER OUT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE DRIVING HER BACK INTO THE BARRICADE!
(Daniella comes face to face with the National Elite Champion Veena Adams who isn’t too pleased with how last week went down.)
Veena Adams: (no mic) Wanna try what you did last week again? I dare you.
Eve: Daniella not letting Veena get in her head as she refocuses her attention on her opponent tonight Ashlynn. Daniella looks to keep the momentum going in her favor as she gets Ashlynn up to throw her back in the ring….BUT ASHLYNN DRIVES HER BACK FIRST INTO THE RING STEPS! ASHLYNN SLAMS HER ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD ON THOSE STEEL STEPS! And now it’s Ashlynn who takes the momentum back as she throws Daniella back into the ring. Ashlynn slides back in, AND DANIELLA IS BACK UP AND DROPS AN ELBOW ON HER BACK BEFORE BEGINNING TO STOMP THE ABSOLUTE LIFE OUT OF HER! Daniella is like a woman possessed trying to send a message to all three of her opponents at ringside as she pulls herself up in the opposite corner…AND DANIELLA RUNS WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM AND DELIVERS A LEAPING SPLASH IN THE CORNER BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! And here’s the first cover of the match!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!
Deadprez: And there’s the kickout at two from Ashlynn! You could see it on Daniella’s face just there that she knows she’s has more work to do to keep Ashlynn down with how Ashlynn is still able to stay alive in this match. She goes back on the attack here picking her all the way back to her feet connecting with a forearm that causes Ashlynn to stumble back into the corner. Daniella is standing by and has Ashlynn locked in… A HARD ELBOW SHOT TO THE MASK BY DANIELLA! Ashlynn hurts badly from that and Daniella puts her right back in an upward position throwing her head back….and Daniella with another one to the face! And then another one! Daniella now sits her up on the top turnbuckle and follows Ashlynn all the way up there, what does she have in mind here… SHE’S LOOKING FOR A SUPERPLEX!
Madison Kaline: (no mic) Careful, don’t slip up there or anything.
Eve: Daniella shrugs that little comment off after getting distracted for a brief second and looks to go for the superplex again….but I don’t think Ashlynn intends to let that happen just yet trying to fight her way out of this with her right hand hammering the back of Daniella and trying to shoulder her out and now it’s a battle for control between the two of them exchanging shots on that top turnbuckle and uh oh…it looks like Ashlynn might be getting the upper hand…OH NO A THUMB TO THE EYE FROM ASHLYNN! Ashlynn then looks to take advantage with the referee somehow not in position to see that and SHE DELIVERS A SUNSET FLIP BOMB OFF THE TOP ROPE AS DANIELLA LANDS HARD ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD AND HERE’S THE HOOK OF THE LEG!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: A kick out by Daniella and Ashlynn gets Daniella up to her up to her feet not giving her any room to breathe, Ashlynn looks to get her into position for a standard suplex, but Daniella is not going to let that happen as she drops to a knee as she connects with a jawbreaker as that sends Ashlynn back as she tries to keep her mask in place….and Daniella follows that up with a sliding dropkick to the knee cap as she takes Ashlynn down to one knee – AND THEN A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE FACE OF ASHLYNN! Ashlynn might be in some deep danger here as Daniella then makes her way to the corner and goes up top! She looks down at Candice, Veena, and Madison before launching herself off – FALCON ARROW! THE PICTURE PERFECT FALCON ARROW AS SHE MAKES ANOTHER COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: Ashlynn manages to kick out at two! Daniella doesn’t look to slow down the pace at all as she gets her up looking to go for a suplex perhaps, but Ashlynn blocks it with her foot before fighting back and throwing several shots to the ribs….AND THEN ASHLYNN DELIVERS A SNAP SUPLEX OF HER OWN THAT BUYS HERSELF SOME VALUABLE TIME AGAIN! Ashlynn crawls away and pulls herself up using the ropes trying to recuperate a little bit as Daniella is back up in the corner, AND ASHLYNN CHARGES RIGHT AT HER BUT DANIELLA STOPS HER DEAD IN HER TRACKS BY GETTING HER BOOT UP BEFORE HOPPING UP ON THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE AND LEAPS OFF GOING FOR A DROPKICK –
Deadprez: BUT ASHLYNN CATCHES HER BY THE LEGS IN MID AIR! THEN ASHLYNN TURNS HER ON HER BACK LOCKING IN THE BOSTON CRAB! DANIELLA SCREAMING IN PAIN AS ASHLYNN AND MADISON LOOK ON,BUT DANIELLA BEGINS TO SCRATCH AND CRAWL HER WAY TO THE ROPES TO FORCE A BREAK – BUT Ashlynn let’s go knowing it was likely a list cause and brings her to the center of the ring – ASHLYNN DRILLS HER WITH GER “PASADENA NIGHTS” DDT!! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH TO PUT DANIELLA AWAY HERE?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!
Eve: AND THE KICKOUT FROM DANIELLA!! Daniella stays alive and you can see the frustration setting in on Ashlynn a little bit before she hits the mat! She kicked out with just a half second to spare and you can see the frustration on her face. I wonder if Kennedy’s talk last week got to her but from the looks of it, it hasn’t. She is up now and begging for Daniella to get back up to her feet looking to put her away for good and put the finishing touches on this match, she’s back up and then here’s a kick to the midsection from Ashlynn as she places her between the legs – BUT DANIELLA OUT OF PURE DESPERATION TO GET OUT OF THIS DRIVES HER BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER AND HITS SEVERAL SHOULDER TACKLES TO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE GETTING HER FOOT UP TO ASHLYNN’S THROAT AND BEGINS CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HER AS THE REFEREE TRIES TO BREAK IT UP!!
Deadprez: The referee manages to back her up and create a little bit of separation between the two of them but only for about a second as she runs at Ashlynn in the corner….BUT NOBODY HOME AS ASHLYNN MOVES! Ashlynn now is the one who runs at her in the corner and delivers a running uppercut!! Ashlynn sits her up on the top rope and now they go up top, and Daniella is trying to fight back as it’s a battle for control on the top….BUT ASHLYNN USES HER FACEMASK TO HEADBUTT DANIELLA! The referee I guess is letting it slide as Ashlynn right away sets up – AND SHE DELIVERS A SUPERPLEX OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! AND HERE’S THE COVER AGAIN!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: THE REFEREE SPOTS HER FOOT UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE! Ashlynn is in total disbelief even pounding the mat once again! Ashlynn then gets her up.off the mat slowly by the head – BUT AN INSIDE CRADLE FROM DANIELLA OUT OF NOWHERE!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MAN HOW CLOSE WAS THAT!! She was just barely able to escape that pin almost getting caught amd now both women race up to their feet and run right into a double clothesline on the other and we’re back at square one in this match again with both of them down. We see Daniella rising up to her feet first between the two of them as she stalks Ashlynn up to her feet….She rushes forward to her snd goes for a spinning heel kick – ASHLYNN MANAGES TO HOLD ONTO THE LEGS OF DANIELLA AS SHE GOES SLAMMING DOWN HITTING THE BACK OF HER HEAD IN THE PROCESS! SHE STILL HAS AHOLD OF THE LEGS AND LOOKS TO GO FOR THE BOSTON CRAB ON HER FOR A SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH….
Eve: But Daniella manages to not let it happen this time as she twists herself around creating a bit of distance and an escape! But Ashlynn goes racing after her taking her back with a forearm to the face…but Daniella returns the favor by connecting with a forearm to his face! Ashlynn connects with a forearm once more! Daniella responds by doing the same thing! Both of them want nothing more than to take the other one back! DANIELLA SPINS HERSELF AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM SMASH AS ASHLYNN DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE AND SHE MIGHT BE IN A VULNERABLE SPOT – SHE GETS HER IN POSITION AND DELIVERS “ANIMUS”!! THE NIAGARA DRIVER CONNECTS AS DANIELLA MAKES THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: KICKOUT FROM ASHLYNN!! Ashlynn still finds a way to stay alive and now the frustration begins to set in on Daniella now. Daniella crawls away from her and she pulls herself up using the ropes and it’s obvious she’s in a lot of pain as she is begging Ashlynn to get back up to her feet so she can put this match away for good. Ashlynn stands up now before turning around….AND DANIELLA RUNS AND GOES FOR A SUPERKICK – BUT ASHLYNN CATCHES THE FOOT AND FLIPS HER BACKWARDS, BUT DANIELKA LANDS ON HER FEET BEFORE RUNNING UP AND DELIVERING A STEP UP KNEE STRIKE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE!
Deadprez: Ashlynn is on wobbly legs now before Daniella holds her upright and delivers a knife edge chop! And then another one as Ashlynn stumbles back into the corner- AND DANIELLA RUNS AND DELIVERS A LEAPING ELBOW STRIKE TO THE FSVE BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A HIP TOSS! Daniella is in complete control as she goes up top – THE FROG SPLASH! BUT NO ASHLYNN GOT THE KNEES UP BEFORE CLIPPING THE LEGS FOR THE PIN!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA KICKS OUT JUST BARELY! Both women are down now as Daniella rolls away from her using this time to recuperate a little bit before using the ropes to pull herself up and seeing Ashlynn in a vulnerable position holding her head in some pain….AND DANIELLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE SIDE OF ASHLYNN’S ’S SKULL BEFORE GETTING HER IN PRIME POSITION ONCE MORE….AND DANIELLA HITS HER WITH A RUNNING BIG BOOT TO THE FACE AS ASHLYNN FALLS DOWN TO THE MAT! Ashlynn stumbles back up to a knee, AND THEN A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE….SHE’S NOT DONE AS SHE PULLS ASHLYNN BY THE ARM AND HITS ASHLYNN WITH HER “INAMORATA” LARIAT NEARLY TAKING HER HEAD OFF!!! DANIELLA FALLS DOWN ON TOP OF ASHLYNN FOR ANOTHER COVER WITH THE HOOK OF THE LEG!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: OH MY GOD!!! ASHLYNN KICKS OUT AND SHE STILL LIVES ON IN THIS MATCH! Veena at ringside knows just how hard it is to put her away and it looks like Daniella is finding that out by the look on her face. Daniella now stands up and goes to pick her up and put this one away for good….AS DANIELLA TAKES A STEP BACK BEFORE SHE GOES FOR HER “BLACK DEATH” DISCUS ELBOW –
Deadprez: BUT ASHLYNN CONTINUES TO FIGHT AS SHE SIDESTEPS IT JUST IN TIME BEFORE SHOVING HER BACKWARDS A FEW FEET THEN RUNS AT HER WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM AND TACKLES HER THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE AS THEY BOTH GO TUMBLING OUTSIDE….AND OH MY!!! THEY BOTH CRASH INTO CANDICE AND MADISON AT RINGSIDE!!
Eve: They crashed into them as Daniella stands up not having a clue where she is using the ring skirt apron in front of Veena who was away from the collision…..AND OH NO DANIELLA JUST CLOCKED VEENA LIKELY THINKING IT WAS ASHLYNN! Clocked her just like she did last week…..ASHLYNN SAW IT AS SHE RUNS LOOKING FOR THE BESTIE SPEAR, BUT DANIELLA SIDESTEPS IT SENDING HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEPS!!
Deadprez: She quickly throws her in the ring and runs up behind her….THE ROLL UP FROM DANIELLA!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….DANIELLAAAA ATLASSSSS!!
(Daniella gets her hand raised as her theme plays. Ashlynn us in shock however.)
Eve: I don’t think Daniella knew who she was hitting….AND I’m sure Ashlynn was just trying to help Veena there still feeling some loyalty to mother and what seems like a common occurrence,made it worse and it ended up costing her the match.
(Ashlynn is back up and is visibly not happy with how this happened as she quickly exits the ring and walks up the ramp.)
(Daniella goes to leave before she’s hit by Veena with the title in the face at ringside.)
Eve: Veena seems like she’s had enough of being hit lately –
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK OUT!! CANDICE IS BACK UP AND RUNS UP BEHIND VEENA AND RUNS HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!! CANDICE BEGINS STOMPING ON HER…UNTIL MADISON GRABS HER BY THE HAIR AND THROWS HER INTO THE RING POST THEN INTO THE RING! Madison slides in….AND THEN MADISON HITS CANDICE WITH THE “M.O.D!!!”
Deadprez: Madison now flaunting to the crowd – AND VEENA RUNS UP AND HITS HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH HER TITLE!!
(Veena stands in the middle of the ring.and holds her National Elite Championship up high.)
Eve: Veena sending a clear message tonight after being on the receiving end as of late. If you thought that was nuts, think about Grand Rampage when these four square off for the National Elite Championship!
(Showdown slowly faded into backstage now and towards a specific room, two chairs with a table in the middle, it seemed to be another set for an interview and of course, the interviewer walked forward first. Mikaela Street quickly arrived at one of the empty seats and then she sat down with a big smile on her face. Usually in this situation the interviewee arrived after but after one minute, five… ten… ARIA was not arriving at all. Mikaela turned towards the camera as it was already time to record and she spoke up with a cheerful voice.)
Mikaela Street: Goodnight everyone! Mikaela Street here as always! I am very sorry for the delay, it is just that right now the person I am interviewing has not arrived just yet, I feel like we are going to have to reschedule it-
ARIA: UhmsorryIamhere!
(A door could be heard opening in the background and footsteps quickly rushing through, as ARIA was able to arrive on time and sit on her own seat. She looked a bit of a mess, she just put on whatever clothes could, with her hair it looked like she went through a whole tornado, but what struck everyone the most was… the fact that there were bandages all around the lower part of her face, it went down from her chin, down to her neck, all of them basically covering her entire mouth.)
ARIA: Iamherenow!
(Mikaela blinked confused as she could barely hear what ARIA was saying due to the bandages that were covering her mouth.)
Mikaela Street: Happy to finally have you here, ARIA! But can you… please take off the bandages? I can’t understand you very well, and we can’t continue the interview like this.
ARIA: DoIhaveto-
(Mikaela looked at ARIA with her usual cheerful smile and a pleading expression, ARIA looked away trying to not show the sadness in her expression. She slowly grabbed the bandages on her face and then she pulled them down…)
(Mikaela let out a surprised gasp and the backstage crew looked confused and slightly disgusted too. From her ends of her lips, and all the way to her cheeks, there were two lines of stitches stitching her face together, almost making her look like she had a permanent smile on her face. It was caused by her match last week, with Pandora pulling back the barbed wire on her face and tearing a lot of skin off of her face. Aria looked even more devastating than before having to show it and she spoke in a low and defeated tone.)
ARIA: I look hideous, don’t I… The doctors told me it will take weeks due to the skin I lost, maybe months for the scars to heal, and even when they close, the marks are still going to be there…
Mikaela Street: Aria…
(Aria slowly shook her head and then tried her best to not show her face, just looking down at the ground and trying her best to not let her voice break.)
ARIA: Continue on with the interview Mikaela, I swear I am fine…
Mikaela Street: A… Alright then, take your time if you need to. Right, we know you are coming off of a tough loss last week at Super Showdown, you had an excellent match that everyone has given you praise about, people supported you even though the result that took place, the people just want to know… your thoughts on what has happened.
ARIA: …I should have ended it when I needed to.
Mikaela Street: Hm?
ARIA: I had the match won. I literally had that on my hands. I was going to end up whacking her on the face with the skateboard and then she just… said the name of her little brother. And my body just stopped. My heart prevented me from moving a muscle at all. Even though I proclaimed from hell to back that I wouldn’t hold back, that I hated the woman in front of me with every bone in my body… I still could not do anything. What the fuck was I doing? Was I really going to injure a woman so horribly that I was going to prevent her from taking care of her little brother? Was I really capable of doing that? It seems I wasn’t. It seems I couldn’t. There was no way I could do it. At that moment I realized that I couldn’t be the monster that I said I could be, no matter how hard I tried to show it. I was just being a character to not break apart and let all of these emotions get to me. And when I let that guard down… she attacked me once my guard was down. She tricked me. She stabbed me in the front and didn’t hold back in any way… in such a disgusting way. That is what I get for just letting my heart expose itself again. But hey, I look like a monster in appearance now, don’t I? Hahaha… hah…
(ARIA fell into pure silence once more as her grim laugh slowly disappeared and even more of her emotions set in. She really lost… after everything. Mikaela gulps slowly and nods slowly, speaking up.)
Mikaela Street: I see then… I have questions as well about what happened at the end of the match, you didn’t really lose by your own volition, your partner and fellow wrestler Alex Myers threw in the towel and prevented you from further getting hurt, what do you have to say about that?
ARIA: Well… I kinda had that one coming, to be honest. I did the same for them when they had that match with Adam Lucas, they just fell head first into the ramp, I was super worried and they never gave up despite the pain they were in? I couldn’t bear to see them get injured so horribly like that, that is why I threw the towel so Alex could be safe. And well, they did the same to me because they cared about me. I am not going to blame them for the loss, that would just be… so many levels of hatred spewed out that they don’t deserve at all. I wanted to end the match myself, and well… guess I lost it myself. Guess I deserve the scars that I have on my face.
(Mikaela nodded with a worried expression on her face and then tried her best to continue on with the questions.)
Mikaela Street: What about Pandora though? What are your feelings on her right now on what she did? Is it over between you two or is it just starting?
(There was no energy at all coming from Aria right now, she didn’t even fire up in any way. She was just cold in every way, her eyes were completely empty and she could barely raise her voice.)
ARIA: I… I don’t know Mikaela, I just don’t know what to tell you at all. I am a mess right now, in feelings, in emotions, I just don’t feel like I am capable at the moment to be able to respond to these kinds of questions, I felt like I lost my smile in every way possible, I thought I was immortal, I thought I was the world beater that I said I was, she still had people to back her up, she still had a doubtful way to end the match but no matter how much I continue to give out the reasoning that I didn’t get beat fair, I still lose! I am not able to finish what I have started, I am NOT able to do it! I am not a hero, I am not a villain, I am not some angel or devil, I am not dead or alive, I don’t even know if I have a heart or soul, I don’t know if I am the Sacred Detective or the Absolute Truth, I just… I have no idea. I have no answer at all. I am so sorry for everything. I am so sorry for disappointing everybody… I failed when it mattered most. And now… I don’t know what to do. I am just someone with no answers.
Mikaela Street: …What do you plan to do in the future?
ARIA: …I have the Grand Rampage match to look forward to. I haven’t been in such a worst mindset heading into such a big important match like that, but… I have to win the Grand Rampage now… there is no other choice in the matter. It has been one of the worst seasons in my whole career, probably one of the worst years… I need to turn it around. I can’t let anyone down anymore.
ARIA: I just… have to own up to what happened… and appreciate what I still got.
(ARIA slowly pulled her bandages up and over her mouth once more, she put her elbows on her knees, she looked down to the ground and without any other word being said, the interview just… cut off.)
(As Showdown came back on air, there would be drastically no time for preparation as “Hard Out Here for a Pimp” by Three 6 Mafia & Paula Campbell ” hit the speakers and Damien Kutcher made his way out. Big things were picking up for him, big opportunities were arriving at his doorstep. He had a chance to carve his own legacy at Grand Rampage, but he had to get there first. He made his way down to the ring, entering the ring now as his theme song died down. He paced around looking at the crowd..)
Damien Kutcher: When I got told I was going to be facing Michael Machina for the New Breed Championship, I won’t even cap, I was a little bit thrown off guard. I have seen what Machina has done to other men in this division, he has thrown them around, beat the hell out of them, well and truly stuck to his claim. But I ain’t gonna act like Michael Machina is the man above all, with every single answer. Hell naw, Machina really gets fed by the spoon. I did the research, how the hell you gone be 8 months into your career, and still running it up with sorry ass opponents like NOVA? I mean come on dawg, Machina as much as he has been a brawler, a brute force of nature, a man who has stood up to any challenge, we also ain’t denying the facts — Is Michael Machina an EAW industry plant?
(Damien asked the question as he shrugged, he paced around the ring, before resting on the top rope.)
Damien Kutcher: I mean let’s be real here, Machina is winning these matches, but every single time it seems to be convenient in his favor, Machina don’t know what it’s like to be in the trenches against someone like Scott Diamond, and having to fend for yourself or be strung out on a hook and die. I’ll say it as it is, and I’ll say it how it goes. Machina has accomplished more than me, he has proven more than me, he has shown his skills on higher levels than me thus far, but I’ll tell you something Machina ain’t do, he ain’t have to climb that ladder. He got lucky by the circumstances of the time he came into EAW. So much of Machina, just… What if we changed it up a bit? How different would things be for him, if he were on Showdown? How different would it be if he came to EAW a month or two after Pain For Pride and never showed he was next up? As much as Machina wanna doubt me and try to build this narrative about me, he is a man of circumstance, and I also am a man of circumstance dammit, cuz Imma use these adequate circumstances to become New Breed Champion. Shit fell in Machina’s lap, but now it’s laying in my lap. You best bet, Machina is meeting his maker at Grand Rampage. There ain’t no damn underdog story here, this ain’t a movie. If we considering a man like me an underdog, then the plot is already fucked up. Only thing I got is a few doubters, but imma flip it on its head. I know what it is that I am capable of, but Machina don’t, and that is going to be reality reaching out and slapping him in his damn face when he realizes—
(Suddenly a voice would cut Damien Kutcher off. Damien’s attention turned from the crowd, to the titantron where none other than; guess who? Michael Machina himself stood. He had the New Breed Championship around his shoulder as he spoke.)
Michael Machina: That was really cute Damien, but I want you to take a long look at this.
(Machina held the New Breed Championship for Damien to soak in entirely for a moment, before he spoke again.)
Michael Machina: That is something for as long as I am breathing on this planet, you aren’t going to be able to hold. Damn shame, but it’s a damn shame for you. You had a cute little speech, you tried to detract me the best way you possibly could have there. But you didn’t realize the mistakes you made entirely, you are shooting yourself in the foot every single time that you make an attempt to deny me, Damien. You are merely nothing more than a roadblock in my path, to becoming the longest reigning New Breed Champion of all time, but like death, Damien.. It is inevitable. I have had it hard, and don’t try to sugarcoat it. I had things working against me, let me know when you go through all that work just to receive a turkey sandwich. The difference between you and I, is that I am impatient. Because I am not fine with mediocrity, yet you will swim in that cesspool up until the day you die. You aren’t starting now, so do me a favor and gladly humble yourself. You’re not the big hero you say you are, right after our match. You’ll be cutting this same narrative about yourself not being the underdog, but yeah.. You aren’t an underdog. You are a footnote. I will get past you by any means necessary, so again. Take a good long look at this.
(Machina held the New Breed Championship up again for Damien to examine.)
Michael Machina: You won’t ever hold this in your hands, and when that inevitable realization sets in? You’re gonna feel bad.
Damien Kutcher: Imma take one long good look at it, cuz when I win, I’ll be holding it every second of my day. Yo Machina, calling me a footnote? That shit funny, because at Grand Rampage this footnote gonna beat your ass and become champion, and there ain’t a damn thing you can do about it. Keep making yourself think you boutta have that record, cause when I win, we all gonna laugh at your dog ass.
Michael Machina: I hope your bite is as tough as your bark.
(With that said, Machina would disappear off the titantron, as Damien Kutcher would then slowly leave the ring, as Showdown to an ad for The Grand Rampage match.)
(I’m Still Standing’ by Elton John plays as Jane Chrissty makes her way from the back. She appears focused on the huge opportunity at hand, but also incredibly agitated. She focuses solely on getting into the ring and staring at the stage for her opponent.)
Eve: This is an extremely huge match for Jane Chrissty in her young career, but you can tell that her mind space isn’t at 100% after Nikki Kimura’s attack on her last week.
Deadprez: And how could it be? That’s a woman out to make a statement, but she’s gotta try and do it at the expense of one of this brand’s very best!
Gavin Kirkland: We’re about to see what Jane is truly made out of in the face of some big time adversity in the name of Jon Kelton! And speak of the devil, here he comes!
(‘Unfuckwittable’ by Kid Cudi blares throughout the arena and Jon Kelton emerges from the back. Some members of the crowd are still unsure how to react towards him and Kelton possesses an unreadable expression.)
Eve: I don’t think any of us expected Jon Kelton to be on the path that he is right now but it does feel like the fans are starting to come around for him. Devolution may be dead, but that doesn’t take away from Kelton’s skill in any kind of way!
Deadprez: Sure doesn’t! This is one that I’ve been looking forward to because Jane has made a name for herself as a blue chipper prospect here on Showdown but once upon a time we all saw what that was like for Kelton and he wants to rise even higher!
Gavin Kirkland: The Grand Rampage is indeed on Kelton’s mind. He seems hellbent on winning the thing, but first he’s gotta pick up some momentum over what seems to be a game Jane Chrissty.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: The bell sounds and the two of these competitors circle around the ring, trying to play it as smart as possible.. Both immediately engage in a lockup but it’s the much bigger Kelton who swings around Chrissty and tosses her with a rear wrestling takedown!
Deadprez: Now these are uncharted waters for Chrissty and you can tell! Kelton’s got her in a nasty front facelock, just wrenching on it and she’s trying her hardest to get out. She spins out of it but Kelton rises to his feet and meets her with a knee to the ribs! He wastes no time, irish whipping her and following up with another knee to the ribs! Kelton then scoops her up and marches to the center of the ring with a modified sidewalk slam!
Gavin Kirkland: Chrissty is getting drowned out there and she’s gotta get it together! She rolls away, holding her ribs in pain to not allow Kelton the chance for a cover. He approaches her to just do more damage then, but now she fights back with a forearm! It’s a weak one though, as she throws another! Kelton is hardly moving and he yanks her up fully- but no! Now Chrissty is unleashing a mulitude of punches on him!
Eve: Kelton is trying his hardest to cover up but Chrissty won’t stop! She is just beating the hell out of him! Kelton finally shoves her off, but Chrissty bounces right off the ropes for a tilt-a-whirl into a BULLDOG! Kelton is bounced up to his feet off the impact, holding at his jaw and she takes his wrist! She runs up the middle rope, then leaps up the top rope to catapult off into a springboard hurricanrana! Kelton scrambles up to her feet and she leaps into a wheelbarrow–
Gavin Kirkland: But Kelton holds onto her and TOSSES HER with a german suplex! Chrissty just got sent flying across the ring! Kelton rises to his feet and drags her to the center.. He takes the waist, looking for another one! Chrissty is dazed but she’s trying her hardest to stop him from lifting her! Kelton is far from a weak man, though and you can tell!
Deadprez: He’s starting to deadlift her up like she ain’t nothing! But wait a minute! The craftiness of Chrissty shows as she returns back to that wheelbarrow and pulls Kelton down with a victory roll pinfall! How often do you see that?!
ONE!
T-
Eve: However, Kelton kicks out with ease! Both are up to their feet and Kelton swings a boot, but Chrissty rolls under the leg! He turns back and Chrissty LEAPS INTO A FLATLINER! Kelton was completely caught off guard by that one and again Chrissty makes a cover!
ONE!
TW-
Gavin Kirkland: Still not enough to get a full two count! Chrissty is getting closer but the resilience of Jon Kelton is on full display here. He slowly works his way up and Chrissty seems to get ambitious as she leaps to the bottom rope to spring backwards into a s– KELTON CATCHES HER WITH AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Deadprez: She just ragdolled to the mat! Are we sure Kelton didn’t just kill her! It doesn’t seem to matter because he’s already locked in on getting this win! Kelton drags up the near-lifeless Jane Chrissty and SLAMS her in the center of the ring like a sack of potatoes with a vicious spinebuster! Kelton sees Chrissty is still laid out and steps out to the apron, deciding to play her at her own game.. He climbs up the top rope..
Eve: And Kelton gets a good look of the capacity crowd in the Pinnacle Bank Arena as he SOARS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A FROG SPLASH! Chrissty immediately winces in pain from that one as all 215 pounds goes crashing onto Chrissty’s small frame! Kelton hooks the legs for a cover of his own!
ONE!
TWO!
Deadprez: And Chrissty kicks out! It’s a two count for Kelton as you can see there’s clear levels to this. Kelton drags Chrissty up and nails her with a right hand. He throws a left hand, and she’s barely standing. Kelton loads up another but Chrissty kicks him in the knee! He falls to a kneel, dazed. Chrissty backs up, revving a roundhouse kick! But Kelton blocks it! Kelton rises to his feet and swings a clothesline but Chrissty ducks under him!
Gavin Kirkland: And as Kelton turns around..Chrissty floats over him into a DDT! SPIKES HIS HEAD INTO THE CANVAS! Chrissty scrambles to the cover and Kelton rolls out of the ring! Smart move, because Chrissty is starting to get her momentum back!
Eve: Kelton’s making a mistake getting back up to his feet outside, though! Chrissty rises up and she notices this! She hits off the ropes for added momentum and FLIES OUT OF THE RING INTO A SUICIDE DIVE! BOTH COMPETITORS GO CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE! KELTON TOOK THE BRUNT OF THAT IMPACT–
Deadprez: BUT CHRISSTY’S GOTTA BE HURT TOO! She sure looks like it! Regardless of the pain that both are facing, Chrissty forces Kelton up and throws him into the ring! She shakes out her arms as she climbs up onto the apron and ascends to the very top rope. Kelton is dazed but he starts to rise as well..
Gavin Kirkland: But before she can dive off the top, Kelton has enough sense to take out the ropes! Chrissty loses her balance and falls crouched on the top rope. Kelton approaches Christy and elbows her. He throws another elbow. Kelton climbs the middle rope and takes the head, looking for a superplex?! But Chrissty keeps fighting back! She keeps punching his side! Over and over again!
Eve: Those liver shots can get you and Chrissty is throwing with all of her might, trying to seriously hurt Kelton! She takes him by the head and slams his head into the turnbuckle! Kelton falls off the top rope, staggering backwards. Kelton drops to a kneel as Chrissty fully rises back up top again. Kelton looks up to her and as he rises– CHRISTY FLIES OFF THE TOP!
Deadprez: AND KELTON MOVES! SHE GAVE HIM TOO MUCH TIME TO RECOVER! Christy’s crossbody completely misses and she stumbles upwards, hodling her ribs in pain. Kelton takes Chrissty in an inverted facelock and looks around.. ROLLING CUTTER!
Gavin Kirkland: That rolling cutter just turned Chrissty inside out! Kelton seems to be content with getting the win off of it, as he crawls over and makes a deep cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Eve: CHRISSTY THROWS HER SHOULDER UP! She refuses to stay down and you can see exactly why! These two are putting it all on the line right now and this has already become one hell of a match. Kelton drags up Chrissty, taking his time from the exhaustion..
Deadprez: But that “exhaustion” backfires on him as Chrissty trips him onto his back! She takes his legs for a jackknife pin but Kelton grabs her waist and bridges up before a count can get made! He slowly starts to twist the two of them, trying to take her down with a backslide cover.. However she lands onto her feet!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton tries to take her head off with that clothesline but Chrissty uses his momentum against him as she temporarily scoops him up.. AND BRINGS HIM DOWN WITH A MICHINOKU DRIVER! Chrissty is literally digging deep into her bag and exerting tons of energy just to hit moves like that on a clearly bigger opponent!
Deadprez: You can tell just by his facial expressions that pain is coursing through Kelton’s back! But Chrissty is exhausted! She can’t even capitalize and go for the cover! Now both have rolled over and this match is back at ground zero as they try to figure out one another.
Eve: Chrissty works her way up and pulls up Kelton with her. She throws a forearm smash that rocks him. She throws another, and now Kelton is reeling! Chrissty goes to the ropes for added momentum but Kelton bypasses her! Hold on! Chrissty rolls under Kelton’s punch and dropkicks him in that back! Kelton falls to the ropes, still holding at his back!
Gavin Kirkland: It’s starting to become a target of attack for Chrissty! She goes for it again but Kelton cracks her with an elbow this time! Chrissty falls to her knees, she appears to be dazed – but is Kelton leaving the ring! OH! HE SPRINGBOARDS UP INTO A CLOTHESLINE! CHRISSTY IS DOWN! Kelton drags her up, quickly! He hoists her up onto his shoulder and despite that pain soaring through his back — he appears not to care! RUNNING POWERSLAM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! KELTON STRAIGHT TO THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
Deadprez: But Chrissty kicks out again! There’s no quit in this woman! But Kelton doesn’t appear to let off! He drags her up and takes the wrist, trying to yank her down into a crossface. Great resilience from Chrissty as she elbows him! She elbows him again and he backs away! Chrissty leaps to the middle rope! BUT KELTON CATCHES HER ONTO HIS SHOULDERS!
Eve: He’s carrying her around like it’s nothing! Kelton marches to the center of the ring, nodding his head. HE SPINS INTO A F-10 FACE— NO! CHRISSTY LANDS ONTO HIS FEET! Kelton leaps into a dropkick but she catches the legs and drops him onto his back! Chrissty rolls him to his knees! Massive knee to the jaw, but Kelton doesn’t go down! Chrissty takes the head and hooks the legs, looking for a fisherman’s suplex but Kelton won’t budge! He punches her ribs and shoves her back!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton sees Chrissty and he’s ready to take advantage, but its the rookie who plays possum! FRANKENSTEINER FROM CHRISSTY! She opts not for the cover and rises to her feet! This can be a mistake, as she calls Kelton up.. Kelton rises to his feet, staggering as Chrissty leaps up the middle rope into a PICTURE PERFECT SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! KELTON GOES DOWN AND CHRISSTY MAKES THE PIN NOW!
ONE!
…
TWO!
…
Deadprez: Kelton kicks out, but look at the fire in Chrissty! She yanks Kelton up and nails him with a punch to the jaw! Kelton staggers but he ROARS in Chrissty’s face! He’s beckoning her on for more! She winds back another but this time Kelton blocks it and kicks her in the ribs! He takes the head and lifts her vertically, but Chrissty floats behind him and takes the arm!
Eve: Chrissty yanks Kelton down! AND SHE LOCKS IN A CROSSFACE! Kelton yells out in pain, I don’t know if he was expecting that! Chrissty is resorting to her precise submission game as she pulls back onto Kelton’s neck with authority! Kelton bangs his fist onto the mat, digging his fingers into it! He yells out in pain, struggling! Chrissty pulls back with as much as she possibly can, while Kelton is still trying to get out of that crossface!
Gavin Kirkland: I DON’T KNOW! It seems pretty tight! She’s got her fingers longed around the neck, and Kelton’s arm is being squeezed! But Kelton uses raw power, rolling her shoulders to the canvas!
ONE!
…
TWO!
…
Eve: NO! Chrissty kicks out, but look at this! She releases the hold of the crossface just to reach over for Kelton’s other arm.. And she pulls his shoulders to the mat with a CRUCIFIX PIN!
ONE!
…
TWO!
…
Deadprez: Kelton kicks out, and this time – OH MY! HE DEADLIFTS CHRISSTY ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! He holds her into a fireman’s carry, but Chrissty plants her hands onto Kelton’s shoulders and propels herself up to his shoulders! Kelton is struggling, trying to get Chrissty down! But Chrissty is relentless, throwing punches to the top of his head!
Gavin Kirkland: You can tell that Kelton is caught off guard here.. AND OH MY GOD! CHRISSTY YANKS KELTON DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A POISON RANA! SHE SPIKES HIM RIGHT ONTO HIS NECK! BUT CHRISSTY WANTS MORE! SHE RISES TO HER FEET AND DRAGS KELTON INTO THE DROP ZONE! SHE STEPS OUT AND CLIMBS THE TOP ROPE…
Eve: And all of the fans rise to their feet in unison with her! She points down to Kelton, feeling it now! JADE CHRISSTY SOARS THROUGH THE AIR WITH AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 450 SPLASH! ALL THE WIND IS KNOCKED OUT OF KELTON AS HE GASPS FOR AIR, AND SHE MAKES THE COVER!
ONNNNEEEEEE!!
…
TWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
…
THHHHRRRRR—-
…
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON KICKS OUT! KELTON KICKS OUT! Chrissty slaps the mat! She thought that was it! Kelton rolls over, holding his ribs in pain. He shakes his head, somehow finding a way to muscle himself back up! Chrissty can’t believe it, but she points at him! Chrissty takes Kelton’s head and jams it into her thighs! SHE WANTS A CANADIAN DESTROYER! BUT KELTON WITH A BACK BODY DROP!
Deadprez: CHRISTY LANDS ONTO HER FEET! THAT’S IMPRESSIVE AGILITY FROM HER! Kelton turns back and CHRISSTY LEAPS UP THE MIDDLE ROPE! SPRINGBOARD TRUST FALL SENTON– NO! KELTON HITS HER WITH THE ‘GALICK GUN’ IN MID-AIR! THE SUPERKICK JUST SPIRALED CHRISSTY’S ENTIRE BODY SIDEWAYS AND TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! HE FALLS INTO A COVER!
ONNNNEEEEEE!!
…
TWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
…
THHHHRRRRR—-
…
Eve: Chrissty finds a way to jolt her shoulder up off of the canvas! What is this woman made out of?! Not even Kelton saw that coming and now he’s trying to piece it together.. He crawls to the ropes, calling Chrissty up to her feet. She’s dazed, but Kelton doesn’t care! HE just wants her up! And ask and you shall receive, and Chrissty is starting to rise to her feet..
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton pulls onto his knee pad and we all know what comes here! Chrissty rises to her feet AND KELTON CHARGES OUT OF THE CORNER! ‘THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT!’ WAIT– WAIT! CHRISSTY LEAPS INTO THE ‘NEVERMORE KNEE STRIKE’ AT THE SAME TIME!
Deadprez: OH! MY! GAWDDDD! BOTH OF THEM KNOCKED EACH OTHER DOWN AT THE SAME TIME WITH A KNEE TO THE FACE! BOTH ARE DOWN! NEITHER ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE! WHAT NOW?! WHAT NOW?!
(There’s an immediate standing ovation in place after that double down, because the crowd in Nebraska are loving absolutely every single second of this matchup!)
Eve: The referee is checking on both but they’re still down! He’s got no choice but to enact that ten count! What if this one ends in a draw?!
Deadprez: That’d be a damn shame, Eve! It really would! Because these two are having what they call a BANGER and it seems that no one wants this to end yet!
Gavin Kirkland: I sure don’t want it to end! Look at Chrissty and Kelton trying to rise up to their feet– but how do you get up after being dropped with one of your opponent’s strongest moves?!
ONE!
…
TWO!
…
THREE!
…
FOUR!
…
FIVE!
…
(Chrissty and Kelton are starting to show signs of life, both nursing their jaws.)
SIX!
…
SEVEN!
…
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! BOTH USING THE ROPES! AND BOTH ARE UP TO THEIR FEET! Kelton and Chrissty stand on opposite sides of the ring and they simply stare one another down! Chrissty shrugs and charges in! Kelton meets her with a punch to the jaw! Then a punch to the body! And he revs up one final punch, but Chrissty leaps into an elbow! Kelton wobbles, AND SHE THROWS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD!
Eve: Kelton falls to a knee, and Chrissty sees a window of opportunity now! She runs to the corner, using the ropes to catapult over to the apron as she climbs the top rope! Kelton slowly follows after her, but it doesn’t matter as she SOARS THROUGH THE AIR WITH A DIVING CROSSBODY!
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON CATCHES HER THOUGH! AND HE TOSSES HER IN THE AIR AND CATCHES HER AGAIN! POWERBOMB, HE HOLDS ON! ANOTHER POWERBOMB, HE HOLDS ON! AND HE HOLDS HER HIGH UP IN THE AIR FOR A THIRD AND FINAL POWERBOMB! CHRISSTY IS LAID OUT!
Deadprez: AND KELTON AIN’T FINISHED HE LEAPS OVER HER AND SPRINGS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE! A DAMN LIONSAULT! IT LANDS FLUSH ONTO CHRISSTY’S RIBS, NEARLY CRUSHING HER! Kelton makes the cover!
ONNNNEEEEEE!!
…
TWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
…
THHHHRRRRR—-
…
Eve: CHRISSTY KICKS OUT AGAIN! Despite that nasty combination of moves, she refuses to stay down! Kelton is trying to figure out what it’ll take to end this one! He pulls her up and grabs her into a front facelock. Kelton nods his head, looking to swing into a TWIST OF FATE–
Gavin Kirkland: NOPE! CHRISSTY YANKS KELTON DOWN WITH A FLATLINER, AND THEN SHE LOCKS IN THE KOJI CLUTCH! THE KOJI CLUTCH IS LOCKED IN TIGHT AND SHE’S APPLYING PRESSURE TO THAT CHOKE! KELTON IS GROANING OUT IN PAIN, AS CHRISSTY IS CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HIM!
Deadprez: I THINK HIS FACE IS TURNING RED! IF KELTON DOESN’T TAP OUT HERE, HE’S GONNA GO TO SLEEP! CHRISSTY IS YANKING HARD, BUT KELTON’S HAND HOVERS ABOVE THE MAT! HE BANGS HIS FIST ON IT, REACHING OUT! She’s pulling! But Kelton starts to manuever his body around! He’s using his reach to his advantage..
Eve: AND KELTON GETS HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! Chrissty has no choice but to release the hold! Kelton rolls over, coughing out in pain. Chrissty drags Kelton away and takes him up by the head. She clubs him in the back, bringing him to the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: But Kelton isn’t going to allow Chrissty to do whatever she wants and nails her with a back elbow! Chrissty staggers and Kelton turns around, BUT CHRISSTY LEAPS INTO AN ENZUIGIRI! Kelton falls face first into the turnbuckles, dazed! Chrissty rises to her feet and takes him by the waist, lifting him to the middle rope! AND SHE LEAPS INTO ANOTHER ONE!
Deadprez: This ain’t good for Jon Kelton! Chrissty hits off the corner AND SHE SPRINGS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE! SPRINGBOARD SPIDER SUPLEX! HE GETS DROPPED RIGHT ONTO HIS NECK!
Eve: Kelton is down and look at Chrissty taking alert of the situation! She wastes no time, scrambling over to cover Kelton! And by the looks of it, this COULD be it!
ONNNNEEEEEE!!
…
TWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
…
THHHHRRRRR—-
…
Deadprez: KELTON KICKS OUT– BUT CHRISSTY LOOKS DETERMINED! She’s dragging Kelton right back up! I don’t think I’ve ever seen this from her before.. SHE LEAPS ONTO KELTON’S BACK AND OVERROTATES HIM INTO THE ‘AFTER SUNSET FLIP!’ The sunset flip just dropped Kelton right onto the back of his head! She bridges him down for a cover! This might be it!
ONNNNEEEEEE!!
…
TWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
…
THHHHRRRRREEE—-
…
Gavin Kirkland: SOMEHOW! KELTON KICKS OUT! It’s going to take a lot more than that in order to keep him down and she knows it! Chrissty rises to her feet, and pulls up Kelton as well.. She swings around the body looking for the ‘Anti Therapy’ but Kelton doesn’t allow her to swing around his body! He pops her back up into a fireman’s carry lift.. F10 FACEBUSTER CONNECTS THIS TIME! Chrissty holds her jaw in pain!
Eve: Something has lit up within Kelton! He holds onto Chrissty and drags her up! Kelton is raining down hellacious elbows to the top of the head! Chrissty tries to cover up but she is getting battered! Kelton double underhooks the arms, SWINGING HER AROUND! ‘CHANGE THE FUTURE’ CONNECTS! Kelton has just driven Chrissty’s head into the mat and she’s showing no signs of life!
Deadprez: But I don’t think Kelton is done! He rises to his feet and looks around to the crowd — and they’re cheering him on! What a match this has been, and he’s looking to add the finishing touches! Kelton leans back in the corner, calling a dazed Chrissty up.. HERE IT COMES!
Gavin Kirkland: ‘FINAL ATONEMENT’— NOOO! CHRISSTY CATCHES HIM WITH THE ‘ZODIAC BREAKER!!’ THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER DRILLS KELTON! COULD WE BE SEEING AN UPSET??
Eve: It sure seems like it as Chrissty scrambles into the cover! Kelton is hardly moving as the referee goes to the cover!
ONNNNEEEEEE!!
…
TWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
…
THHHHRRRRRRR—-
…
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON THROWS HIS SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! Chrissty can’t believe it and that certainly caught the crowd off guard! But she’s not taking her foot off the gas pedal!
Deadprez: Chrissty exits the ring and we all know what comes after the Zodiac Breaker.. She’s ascending up top and pointing down to Kelton.. ‘STOMP INDUCED TRAUMA!’
Eve: KELTON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP DOESN’T CONNECT AND CHRISSTY IS FORCED TO FRONTROLL TO AVOID IMPACT TO HER FEET! BUT AS HE RISES AND TURNS AROUND..
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON IS ALREADY UP AND HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO ‘THE FINAL ATONEMENT!!!’ THE SPEAR JUST CUT CHRISSTY IN HALF! Oh my god! Kelton goes straight to the cover!
ONNNNEEEEEE!!
…
TWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
…
THHHHRRREEEEEE!!!!
…
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER! JON! KELTON!
Deadprez: STATEMENT MADE by Jon Kelton! Jade Chrissty tried her hardest to match up against a multiple time champion, but Kelton has a damn good case of winning the Grand Rampage and he just reminded everyone why that is! What a showing by both, though!
Eve: Jade Chrissty brought the fight to Jon Kelton, without a doubt! Kelton may be torn up by the end of Devolution but it has not taken form his ability to be one of the best wrestlers we see on Showdown!
(‘Unfuckwittable’ by Kid Cudi once again hits the PA speakers as the fans cheer on both participants, particularly the winner, after such a bout. Kelton rises to his feet, emphatically beating his chest. Chrissty made him work hard for that one, but he needed that win and it shows. He steps out of the ring and heads to the back, while Chrissty is still being tended to.)
(SEGMENT WILL BE ADDED ASAP)
(The scene pans away to the corridors of the arena, where Kyra Phillips is stood by with mic readied. As usual, she is the consummate professional, and is dressed in a smart fitted suit, her hair tied back in a ponytail.)
Kyra Phillips: Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, and I hope you are enjoying the show. We are now only a couple of weeks shy of Grand Rampage, and you can sense the anticipation here backstage as people make their pledges for that event. One person who recently confirmed his entrance into the Grand Rampage itself is my guest at this time… thank you for joining me Terry Chambers.
(The camera pans out, revealing the man himself stood by her side, a smug look filling his face.)
Terry Chambers: The pleasure is entirely yours Kyra… and of course the good folks at home hanging on my every word. I mean, who can blame them?
Kyra Phillips: Errrm, anyway… you have entered the Grand Rampage this year, which is, I’m sure you will agree, no great surprise considering the prize that is on offer.
(Terry nods his head agreeably.)
Terry Chambers: I know there are people out there that see the Grand Rampage as a shortcut, a way to jump to the front of the queue, and I could see why they would think that. But having been a part of this match many times before, it is so much more than that. There is a reason that not many can say they have this match on their resume, and that is because it is one of the most difficult to win. You must be a certain kind of someone to success under these circumstances, and I am EXACTLY that kind of person.
Kyra Phillips: I know this might seem like a silly question, but I’m guessing that you believe that you can win the whole thing?
Terry Chambers: You’re right, that is a silly question, in fact it is bordering on the ridiculous. Look at me, drink it all in. Take a moment to understand who I am, and what I have done for this company. The minute I told the world I would be a part of this match; I was immediately instilled as favorite. Why? Because I am Terry Chambers. Simple. As. That. And now I am in this match, I have no choice but to go out there and throw out every single Elitist that gets in my way. Now that I have entered the most grueling match in professional wrestling, I am forced to go out there and show the world just who the most dominant Elitist on the planet truly is. You’re going to hear a lot of people claim that they can go all the way, but the reality is there is only one person on this roster who can say that and be undeniably speaking the truth. That person is me. People don’t believe me, and that’s on them. The only thing I want to do is send a message to all those doubters that shall be watching, that being that no one is safe when Terry Chambers sets his mind on something. I’ll admit, I’ve not been up to full speed since my return, but that has all changed. Glock Mode has been enabled, and now there is no one who can stop me.
(Kyra hesitates, just to make sure Terry has finished, not wanting to interrupt in case of the circumstances that could arise if she did. Happy that he has finished for now, she then responds.)
Kyra Phillips: You’ve spoken a lot recently of ‘Glock Mode’ and what it means for the rest of the roster. Could you explain?
Terry Chambers: It would be my pleasure. Glock Mode is…
(Terry stops speaking, looking off camera. The camera angle widens, and a huge roar is heard in the arena as Kirk Redwood comes into view. Kirk isn’t used to hearing such a reaction, and as such it brings a smile to his face. Kirk then steps forwards, getting right up in Terry’s grill. Terry just sighs and shakes his head dismissively.)
Terry Chambers: If I were you, I’d back off.
Kirk Redwood: Really. Well thankfully, I’m not you am I. Can’t think of anything worse.
Terry Chambers: I get that… some people can’t carry the responsibility of being a former World Champion.
Kirk Redwood: Did that happen this decade?
Terry Chambers: It happened… which is more than can be said for your career.
Kirk Redwood: Just a matter of time.
Terry Chambers: Look Kirk, I get it, you’re trying to make a name for yourself, and you think stepping up to me is going to give you that. But I’m sorry to be the one to let you know, but you are punching way above your weight.
Kirk Redwood: That right?
Terry Chambers: It is. Sure, you looked good on occasions against the World Champion, but Viz is a teddy bear in comparison to what I would do to you if we faced off. Your best option is to get out my face, then turn around and walk away. Before this gets serious and I must remind you who the hell I am.
(Kirk just chuckles to himself, obviously not heeding the warning.)
Kirk Redwood: Oh, I know who you are Terry, and I know what you have achieved. That is why you and I are on a collision course, and we ARE going to meet in that ring. Once I’ve beaten you, and sent shockwaves around this place, leaving my mark on the EAW Landscape, then I will be on my way to finally becoming a champion.
Terry Chambers: I disagree Kirk, because from where I’m looking, you’ll never achieve anything.
Kirk Redwood: Well, guess what Terry, I don’t care what you think. I agree with a large proportion of this roster who think you are full of shit. We’ll dance Terry, you can count on it.
Terry Chambers: Whatever…
(Kirk laughs and turns around, but Terry grabs his shoulder and spins him back around to face him. Terry starts throwing right hands, Kirk at first stunned but then throwing them back at Chambers. Before it gets out of hand, referees and officials are on hand, and pull them apart before they can get themselves into trouble. As Kirk is pulled away, he shouts after Terry.)
Kirk Redwood: Glock Mode My ASS.
(As they are pulled in different directions, we fade back to ringside, ready for the next match.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: The following contest has a TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: …and the winner of this match WILL GET TO PICK THE STIPULATION FOR THE MATCH AT GRAND RAMPAGE!
(“Be Legendary” by Pop Evil starts playing as Adam Lucas enters the arena to loud cheers from the crowd. Following closely behind is Adam’s wife, Dr. Bethany Blue. The couple look at each other and nod before they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his way to the ring! Being accompanied to the ring by Dr. Bethany Blue, MD! From New York State! Weighing 231 pounds! Here is “THE NEXT LEVEL” ADAM LUCAS!
Deadprez: Here comes Adam Lucas and Dr. Bethany Blue to the ring as Adam is getting ready for singles action and this match has been a long time coming between him and Solomon Stane.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam is so lucky to have a beauty like Dr. Bethany by his side. It’ll make things much more interesting during this match.
Eve: These two have been wanting to get at each other in a match for a long time and now it’s gonna happen as a precursor to Grand Rampage. Adam is ready to go and he can’t wait to get his hands on his opponent. Hold on! It looks like Bethany is asking for a microphone. I guess she has something to address.
Dr. Bethany Blue: I was supposed to come out here at the behest of my boss over at Voltage and talk about what happened last week on Voltage and my actions also here on Showdown. Well, unlike my lovely husband here, I am not apologizing for anything. I did what I did to TLA in the Main Event because plain and simple, I am a winner and that is how I make sure that nothing is stolen from me.
(Adam Lucas doesn’t agree with the actions but he does watch as his wife continues to speak.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: As for my actions here on Showdown, isn;t it obvious? Caroline has been nothing but a stupid little bitch since I let her go from training her and now she is some big bad ghoulish scary girl, whatever. And then we have Solomon Stane who drew first blood and I had to take his little bitchy wife out of the picture! Well guess what, things are even now and when Adam wins? We will make sure that the stipulation is exactly what we want it to be. Now get your asses out here!
(After Bethany finishes speaking, “Birds With Broken Wings” by Ben Caplan starts playing as Solomon Stane walks out to the ramp with Caroline following closely behind and gets down on a knee. He prays until he rises and then stares straight ahead and marches towards the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! Being accompanied to the ring by Caroline. From The City of Sin! Weighing in at 266 pounds! Here is “YOUR SAVIOR” SOLOMON STANE!
Gavin Kirkland: I personally think Solomon Stane has a damn screw loose, but I can let that slide with a beauty like Caroline coming to the ring.
Eve: Of course you would, but most of this chaos has been because of Solomon and Caroline. None of this would be happening if it wasn’t for them. It will reach a fever pitch at Grand Rampage.
Deadprez: High stakes in this match as the winner of this match gets to choose the stipulation for the tag team match at Grand Rampage. Who will be victorious? We’re about to find out.
(Solomon enters the ring and takes his corner while Caroline takes her place at ringside and Solomon’s entrance music fades off. The referee checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Here we go! This match has huge implications for Grand Rampage. The winner gets to pick the stipulation and can easily make the match in their favor. These two have been fighting for a while now.
Deadprez: It looks like they are about to lock up in the center of the ring, ADAM SWITCHES IT UP WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN AND HE IS JUST THROWING FISTS INTO SOLOMON’S FACE! HE HAS JUST ABOUT HAD IT WITH SOLOMON AND THE FRUSTRATION HAS JUST BEEN BUILDING UP!
Gavin Kirkland: These two have been fighting ever since Reasonable Doubt, but I am kind of glad that they are because that means we get to see more of Bethany and Caroline.
Deadprez: Of course you would enjoy that. But Adam needs to control his temper as the referee starts a count to tell Adam to open up those fists and Adam listens at the four count. He did want to risk getting disqualified on five.
Eve: But Solomon shoves Adam off of him and tries to get back to his feet, BUT ADAM FIRES BACK A DROPKICK TO SIDE OF SOLOMON’S HEAD AND HE ROLLS OVER TO THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam wants to end this match as soon as possible and leave nothing to chance. Adam goes to bring Solomon back up to his feet–
Eve: SOLOMON GRABS THE FRONT OF ADAM’S TIGHTS AND SENDS HIM THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT ADAM MANAGES TO LAND ON THE APRON AND PROTECT HIMSELF!
Deadprez: The referee is checking on Adam after he landed on the apron AND HERE COMES BETHANY ON THE APRON ON THE OTHER SIDE! Adam has a look of confusion on his face as the referee is telling Bethany to get off the apron–
Gavin Kirkland: THAT GIVES THE BEAUTIFUL CAROLINE A CHANCE TO GET INVOLVED AS SHE GRABS ADAM’S LEG AND YANKS HIM OFF THE APRON TO THE FLOOR! Beautiful and smart. I love it.
Eve: She is also batshit crazy, but that attempt backfired on Bethany as Adam went face first into the apron and that gives Solomon an opportunity to capitalize.
Deadprez: Solomon exits the ring and grabs Adam who has made it back to his feet. Solomon has hold of Adam by the neck AND HE JUST BIELS ADAM ACROSS THE FLOOR!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam lands hard on the floor as Solomon picks up Adam once again AND SLAMS HIM ON THE TOP OF THE RING STEPS!!
Deadprez: Adam landed hard on the steps and rolls to the floor as the referee has been counting both these men out. Solomon hears the count and he casually gets back into the ring.
Eve: He isn’t going to question it. A count out victory would mean that Solomon gets to pick the stipulation as the referee reaches seven on their count.
Gavin Kirkland: Look at Dr. Bethany. She is right there standing next to Adam willing him on so he can beat the count and continue this match as Adam slowly drags himself to the ring. Damn, I wish I had somebody like her cheering me on. That would make me a very happy guy.
Eve: Fantasizing about a woman who is married? What a surprise! Anyways, the referee has reached nine as Adam is pulling on the ring skirt trying to get himself back to his feet. Oh this going to be close as the referee is about to make the ten count–
Deadprez: ADAM BEATS THE COUNT! ADAM MADE IT BACK INTO THE RING JUST IN TIME AS SOLOMON IS RIGHT THERE PUTTING THE BOOTS TO THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon has had control of this match since the very beginning and he has no plans of letting control go. I am jealous of that skill especially since Bethany and Caroline are out at ringside.
Eve: Why do we go through this every week? Oh nevermind. Solomon has Adam back up to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Adam comes back AND SOLOMON JUST CLOBBERS HIM WITH A LARIAT ALMOST TAKING HIS HEAD OFF!
Deadprez: Now we see Dr. Bethany Blue with an almost nervous look on her face seeing her husband just getting the snot knocked out of him. Solomon hits the ropes before coming back AND LEAVING HIS FEET AND LOOKING FOR A LEG DROP–
Gavin Kirkland: NOBODY HOME OFF THE LEG DROP! Adam rolled out of the way from the leg drop and Solomon ended up with an ugly landing. This might be the opening that Adam needs to get some momentum started back up and get back in this match.
Deadprez: Adam is back to his feet as he comes behind Solomon, who is up as well. Solomon turns around into A BOOT TO THE GUT FROM ADAM! Adam applies the facelock and takes Solomon up and over with a snap suplex. ADAM QUICKLY FLOATS OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THH-
Eve: SOLOMON KICKS OUT! I think Adam was trying to sneak a quick victory by Solomon, but it didn’t work as Adam is up and brings Solomon with him. Adam throws some forearms that back Solomon up to the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam mustering up some power to sit Solomon on the top turnbuckle before he climbs onto the second rope. Adam has another facelock applied AND ADAM IS TRYING TO HIT THE SUPERPLEX–
Eve: SOLOMON IS FIGHTING BACK! SOLOMON IS COUNTERING WITH RIGHT HANDS TO THE RIBS AND THAT FORCES ADAM TO RELEASE TO FACELOCK! Solomon is now standing on the top rope AND HE SMASHES ADAM’S FACE AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Deadprez: Not only that, he keeps Adam’s face smashed against the top turnbuckle AS SOLOMON FLIPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HE LANDS ON HIS FEET AND GRABS ADAM AROUND THE WAIST BEFORE DRIVING ADAM DOWN WITH A SITOUT POWERBOMB!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam was planted hard into the mat as Solomon keeps hold of Adam and stack him up for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHH–
Eve: ADAM ROLLS THROUGH AND KICKS OUT AT TWO! Adam has the ring awareness to roll onto the ring apron to try and catch a quick breather. The referee is with Solomon at the moment and Bethany comes running over to check on Adam.
Deadprez: The Doctor is making sure that her husband is doing alright AND NOW SHE’S JUMPING BACK ON THE APRON TO TRY AND MAKE HER APPEARANCE FELT AGAIN IN THIS MATCH–
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) BETHANY DON’T!
Gavin Kirkland: DID YOU HEAR THAT? ADAM IS TRYING TO STOP BETHANY FROM INTERFERING! Adam wants to win this match by his own merit and Bethany is confused.
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) Adam, what are you talking about?
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) Bethany, please. I don’t wanna win that way. I wanna win my way.
Deadprez: Bethany doesn’t like that request, but she does respect her husband’s wishes and gets down from the ring apron–
Eve: BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP CAROLINE FROM COMING AROUND AND KICKING ADAM IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE A DAMN THING SINCE THEY WERE STILL WITH SOLOMON!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BETHANY SAW IT AND SHE IS NOT HAPPY! Bethany is giving Caroline the riot act BEFORE THE CHASE BEGINS! BETHANY IS TRYING TO GET HER HANDS ON CAROLINE–
Eve: THE REFEREE CAUGHT THE CHASE BETWEEN THE LADIES! The referee steps out of the ring and gets in between Caroline and Bethany to stop this from elevating any further than it already has.
Deadprez: The referee is telling Bethany and Caroline to go back to their neutral sides of the ring or else they will both be ejected from ringside. All the while, Adam is standing on the ring apron watching everything unfold.
Gavin Kirkland: That was a mistake right there as Solomon runs in and grabs Adam by the neck AND BRINGS HIM BACK INTO THE RING, BUT ADAM MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET! Adam hits the ropes to give himself a little more momentum–
Eve: ADAM WITH A STANDING DROPKICK THAT CATCHES SOLOMON IN THE CHEST AND BACKS HIM TO THE ROPES! Adam runs in to clothesline Solomon, BUT SOLOMON STICKS THE BOOT OUT TO KICK ADAM IN THE FACE-
Deadprez: ADAM CAUGHT THE BOOT AND PULLS SOLOMON TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING! Solomon is hopping around on his one free foot AS SOLOMON TRIES TO CATCH ADAM WITH THE ENZUIGIRI–
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ADAM DUCKS THE KICK! Now Solomon has his back to Adam WHO PULLS SOLOMON IN AND TAKES HIM UP AND OVER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! SOLOMON’S HEAD SMASHES HARD AGAINST THE CANVAS!
Deadprez: Solomon rolled back after hitting the canvas and he rolls himself back to his feet AS ADAM RUNS AT FULL SPEED AND DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO SOLOMON’S FACE! THE FORCE OF THE DROPKICK SENDS SOLOMON THROUGH THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR!
Eve: Adam is coming in like a wall of fire right now as Adam is now standing on the ring apron as Bethany and Caroline watch on from their neutral sides of the ring. Solomon is back up to his feet–
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LEAPS OFF THE APRON AND TAKES SOLOMON DOWN WITH A FOREARM! LISTEN TO THE OVATION FROM THIS CROWD FOR ADAM LUCAS! Adam has firm control of this match as he rolls Solomon back into the ring.
Eve: Adam quickly follows by getting onto the apron and waiting for Solomon to get back to his feet. Caroline and Bethany are keeping their distance as Solomon is finally up to his feet–
Deadprez: ADAM FLIPS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HE JUST CLOBBERS SOLOMON WITH THE BUCKSHOT LARIAT! ADAM JUST HIT THE “EQUALISER” AND HE COULD HAVE TAKEN SOLOMON’S HEAD OFF!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam drags Solomon away from the ropes as he falls into the cover and hooks the leg!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Eve: SOLOMON KICKS OUT AT TWO! Nice near fall by the former Answers World Champion and Solomon was rocked off of his Buckshot Lariat! Adam brings Solomon up and he whips Solomon to the corner.
Deadprez: Solomon hits the turnbuckles AS ADAM RUNS TOWARDS THE CORNER BEFORE LEAVING HIS FEET AND HITTING THE STINGER SPLASH IN THE CORNER! Solomon comes stumbling out of the corner–
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM WITH A DISCUS PUNCH THAT KNOCKS SOLOMON OFF HIS FEET AND LANDING IN THE CORNER! Solomon lost his footing and he ends up sitting in the corner, BUT HERE COMES BETHANY!!
Deadprez: Bethany is going to grab Solomon’s arms to hold him in the corner so Adam can hit another move, but Adam once again tells Bethany to back up.
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) COME ON, BETHANY! PLEASE DON’T! DON’T INTERFERE!
Eve: Adam doesn’t want Bethany to interfere and he has told her that on multiple occasions. I wonder why Bethany is pushing her presence being felt in this match.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam should feel lucky that a lovely woman like Dr. Bethany Blue is willing to try in any way she can to help her husband win this match. I would absolutely love a woman like that. Some guys are just so lucky.
Eve: Yeah. Lucky is the word. But the referee is right there telling Bethany to get back to her side of the ring. As he does that, IT GIVES CAROLINE A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO STICK HER NOSE IN THIS MATCH AGAIN!
Deadprez: Caroline has made her way to the top rope. Adam looks up AND SEES CAROLINE JUMPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING ADAM DOWN AND OVER WITH A BEAUTIFUL HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER!
Gavin Kirkland: So much beauty. So little time. Can we get rid of the time limit and just keep Bethany and Caroline out here a little longer. Speaking of Caroline, she quickly scrambles out of the ring to make sure she doesn’t get caught by the referee.
Eve: Meanwhile, Dr. Bethany is giving the referee an earful as she tells the referee to turn around and catch Caroline interfering in the match, but to no avail. Caroline has done the damage and she is out of the ring.
Deadprez: Bethany is starting to look frustrated because of Adam not letting her try to interfere in the match as well as Caroline taking advantage by doing the same thing and Caroline is getting away with it.
Gavin Kirkland: It sucks to see Bethany looking so angry, but she is just being a supportive wife. I thought Adam was aware of that.
Deadprez: He is aware of that, but there is a time and place for this to occur and this is not it! Adam is just starting to get back to his feet after the headscissors from Caroline. Adam is up–
Eve: AND HE JUST TURNED RIGHT INTO A SAVATE KICK FROM SOLOMON STANE! THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST KNOCKED A FEW OF ADAM’S SCREW LOOSE IN THAT HEAD OF HIS! WHAT! A! SHOT!
Gavin Kirkland: I think Adam might have been knocked out with that kick because he is not moving right now. Solomon hits the ropes and comes back BEFORE HE LEAVES HIS FEET AND HE HITS THE SENTON!
Eve: Solomon landed right on Adam’s chest! That’s over 260 pounds landing on Adam and there could be a broken rib or two right there. Solomon doesn’t care. Broken ribs could mean an easier match for Solomon and Caroline at Grand Rampage!
Deadprez: Now this is disrespectful right here. Solomon grabs a handful of Adam’s hair and pulls him up to his feet like a wet cat.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam is up AND SOLOMON JUST HEADBUTTS ADAM RIGHT IN THE FOREHEAD! ADAM FALLS BACK INTO TOWARDS THE ROPES AND ADAM HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES TO KEEP HIS FOOTING!
Deadprez: Solomon has a prime target in his sights as Adam hasn’t moved off the ropes AND SOLOMON RUNS IN AND TRIES TO CLOBBER ADAM IN THE FACE WITH A BIG BOOT–
Eve: ADAM BARELY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SOLOMON GETS HIS FOOT AND KNEE CAUGHT ON THE TOP ROPE! Solomon is stuck for a moment before he finally gets free.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam is on his feet AND SOLOMON TRIES AGAIN! THIS TIME SOLOMON TRIES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AND ONCE AGAIN ADAM IS ABLE TO DUCK OUT OF THE WAY!
Eve: Adam shoves Solomon to the ropes. Solomon hits the ropes and comes back, BUT HE RUNS INTO A WAITING ADAM LUCAS WHO MUSTERS UP ENOUGH STRENGTH TO LIFT SOLOMON OFF THE MAT AND DRIVES SOLOMON DOWN WITH A POWERFUL SPINEBUSTER!
Deadprez: Solomon’s head and neck snapped back in a really ugly way when he hit the mat. Solomon is not moving off the Spinebuster and Adam falls into the cover and hooks the leg!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON GOT THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! Close near fall by Adam Lucas as Caroline is no doubt breathing a sigh of relief when Solomon kicked out. Adam has done a great job matching power with Solomon Stane.
Eve: Adam is back to his feet and he drags Solomon to the center of the ring BEFORE GRABBING SOLOMON’S LEGS AND STEPPING THROUGH! ADAM IS TRYING TO ROLL SOLOMON OVER–-
Deadprez: HE DOES IT! ADAM HAS THE SHARPSHOOTER LOCKED IN! “LUCAS LOCK” IS APPLIED AND SOLOMON COULD BE IN TROUBLE RIGHT HERE WITH THAT SUBMISSION LOCKED IN!
Gavin Kirkland: THE SUBMISSION ISN’T APPLIED FOR LONG AS SOLOMON IS ABLE TO ROLL ONTO HIS BACK AND KICK ADAM AWAY! Adam hits the ropes BEFORE HE JUMPS ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Eve: Solomon is back to his feet AND ADAM COMES OFF THE ROPE AND HITS A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM TO SOLOMON’S FACE! SOLOMON IS ROCKED BUT HE IS STILL ON HIS FEET!
Deadprez: Adam grabs hold of Solomon and whips him to the ropes!
Eve: Solomon comes back from the ropes AND ADAM MUSTERS UP WHATEVER POWER HE CAN TO HOIST SOLOMON FROM THE MAT TO THE AIR! ADAM IS LOOKING FOR THE POP UP POWERBOMB! SOLOMON MIGHT BE TAKEN TO “THE NEXT LEVEL”–
Deadprez: SOLOMON MANAGES TO GET FREE OF THE POWERBOMB! SOLOMON LANDS ON HIS FEET BEHIND ADAM! Adam quickly turns around BUT HE IS MET WITH SOLOMON’S HAND AROUND HIS THROAT! SOLOMON IS CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF ADAM!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS ISN’T GOING TO BE GOOD FOR ADAM AS SOLOMON HAS HOLD OF ADAM BY THE THROAT! ADAM IS IN TROUBLE AS SOLOMON SHOWS A LOT OF POWER AS HE LIFTS ADAM IN THE AIR WITH ONE HAND BEFORE DRIVING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Deadprez: “TRIUMPH OF TRUTH” BY SOLOMON STANE! SOLOMON PLANTED ADAM TO THE MAT WITH HIS SITOUT CHOKESLAM! ADAM ISN’T MOVING AS SOLOMON HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Eve: ADAM KICKS OUT AT TWO! NEAR FALL BY THE FORMER TAG TEAM CHAMPION AND SOLOMON HAS MADE THE CALL TO END THIS MATCH ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon is on his feet and is making the motion for Adam to get back to his feet after being rocked by that chokeslam from Solomon. He’s rocked, but he is slowly getting back to his feet.
Eve: Adam is back to his feet as Solomon grabs Adam and tries to lift him up into the Canadian Back– WHAT THE HELL? DR. BETHANY BLUE IS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND SOLOMON HAS NO CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON BEHIND HIM–
Deadprez: HERE COMES BETHANY OFF THE TOP ROPE AND SHE LANDS ON SOLOMON’S BACK AND APPLIES A SLEEPER HOLD! WHAT IS SHE THINKING?
Gavin Kirkland: Oh that creepy bastard is so lucky. I wish Bethany would ride me like that. That would be so much fun.
Eve: You are a very sick man! But why in the world did Bethany do that? Was she doing this in a method of desperation? I agree. What is she thinking?
Deadprez: THAT WAS BLATANT INTERFERENCE BY BETHANY AFTER ADAM HAS BEEN TELLING BETHANY NOT TO! UNFORTUNATELY, THE REFEREE COULD SEE THAT A MILE AWAY AND HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL FOR THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The referee has called for the bell after Bethany climbed on Solomon’s back in the chokehold. They run over to Gina Romano and explain what happened as Gina announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano:Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match as a result of a DISQUALIFICATION… SOLOMON STANE!
(After the announcement, Adam does not look happy after hearing what went down.)
Deadprez: There you have it. Solomon Stane wins this match by disqualification after the referee caught the outside interference by Dr. Bethany. Do you know what this means?
Eve: Yes I do. Because of the stipulations, even though it was a disqualification win, that means that Solomon Stane gets to pick the stipulation for the tag team match at Grand Rampage.
Gavin Kirkland: From the look on Adam’s face, that isn’t going to sit well with him.
Eve: No doubt that Adam isn’t happy right now, BUT LOOK! CAROLINE JUST ROLLED INTO THE RING! SHE GRABS A HANDFUL OF BETHANY’S HAIR AND PULLS HER DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! THESE TWO LADIES JUST FIGHTING IT OUT! IS IT HOT IN HERE OR IS IT JUST ME!
Deadprez: You are so weird. But Bethany and Caroline are fighting as Solomon looks to pull Bethany off of Caroline, BUT HERE COMES ADAM LUCAS INTO THE FRAY! NOW EVERYBODY IS FIGHTING!
Eve: CAROLINE AND BETHANY ARE STILL BRAWLING AS NOW ADAM AND SOLOMON ARE NOW THROWING FISTS AND CONTINUING TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER!
Gavin Kirkland: This is so great to watch! Can we just have them keep fighting for the remainder of the show.
Deadprez: No, you weirdo. Right now, it looks like Bethany has got the advantage over Caroline before THROWING CAROLINE OUT OF THE RING AND SHE HITS THE FLOOR!
Eve: NOW IT’S ADAM AND SOLOMON STILL FIGHTING AND ADAM KNOCKS SOLOMON TO THE ROPES BEFORE HAULING BACK AND CLOBBERING SOLOMON WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT KNOCKS SOLOMON OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!
(Solomon hits the floor as Caroline runs over to him to help him up as Dr. Bethany and Adam stand tall in the middle of the ring. Bethany tries to raise Adam’s arm, but Adam takes it back and looks at Bethany.)
Deadprez: Bethany and Adam are standing tall in the ring, but we must not forget that it’s Solomon who gets to pick the stipulation. Adam saw it all happen and he is mad.
Gavin Kirkland: If they get divorced, I mean I am available, Bethany.
Deadprez: No. But look at Bethany. It looks like she is being apologetic to Adam. She is trying to apologize for interfering in the match, but Adam isn’t having any of it. Now Bethany is starting to get annoyed.
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) I told you to stay out of it and not to interfere.
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) I know, but I couldn’t sit back and watch this match go bad.
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN THE MATCH!
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) YOU NEEDED MY HELP! YOU WERE ABOUT TO LOSE THE MATCH!
Eve: Well, damn. Adam and Bethany might be standing tall, but they sure as hell don’t sound like it.
Deadprez: One mistake cost Adam and Bethany the match and the power to choose the match stipulation. Solomon and Caroline have the ball in their court. This tag team match is going to be a war at Grand Rampage.
(The final shot has Adam and Bethany still arguing in the ring while Solomon and Caroline are at the top of the entrance ramp with devilish grins soaking in the fact that they control the stipulation as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(Showdown goes elsewhere as Kyra Phillips appears with a smile on her face, as she stands firm.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time, KASAI!
(KASAI appeared on the screen next to Kyra Phillips. as she had a smile across her face.)
KASAI: Seems as if we always end back up here, if you haven’t noticed lately darling. KASAI is always being interviewed by Kyra Phillips, but every time we meet — something else changes. One moment I am on the hunt, the next moment I have found what it is that I am seeking for. Quite interesting isn’t it? Life changes and it comes at you fast, how long are we all really even here for? If you asked me, we could all explode into a ball of fire tomorrow. And you know what the worst part of that would be? Not that there are plenty of dreams I didn’t get to accomplish, not that I didn’t get to see my family. I wouldn’t have gotten my match with Bea Valentine at Grand Rampage. And that might be the most depressing thing about all of it.
Kyra Phillips: Uh yes for sure, but I wish to ask. Gloria on a pole, or Specialist Championship on a pole, how do you feel about that?
KASAI: You know, in another life I was probably a pole jumper at the olympics. I think realistically, it gives me the best plausible outcome. Because I’ll give Bea Valentine this, It’s hard to pin her shoulders on the ground, which is why I can climb up and retrieve the championship for my taking, and then graciously we can all proclaim the truth. The drought is over! KASAI has finally reigned with a championship in EAW, confetti can be poor, and for that moment entirely, life can be at a stand still. If you want me to be entirely honest. Bea Valentine didn’t only shoot herself in the foot at Grand Rampage, but I don’t think she has any of that in her to even make a climb. Bea Valentine is weak and afraid, did you see what happened on Voltage, Kyra?
(KASAI asked Kyra with a raised eyebrow.)
Kyra Phillips: I did actually, Bea Valentine ducked the mist that you tried to spray her with, and hectic chaos ensued! How do you feel after what conspired?
KASAI: You know it is kind of funny because Bea Valentine likes to call me things like a “War Criminal” and in other words, “A hooligan”. All the things that she can possibly push the border of with, without getting herself into too much trouble. But the thing is, I see her doing all these crazy things as well. She electrocuted someone for the love of it all! But yes, we did witness the same thing last week on Voltage, Kyra. Yes. That would have been the case, I don’t know why her butler Cornelius gets involved. Actually I am starting to wonder if she has multiple of them cloned. What is the plural for a variety of Cornelius? Corneliuses? Corneli? whatever. But you better bet your bottom dollar, If I see that butler one time. One singular time, I am going to rip his ears off, and then I am going to kick his head off too. He better stay clear of me. And he better—
(And just then…. the exact person she was speaking of emerged. Cornelius appeared in front of KASAI, was he an absolute madman? Standing here even after what had occured?)
KASAI: Speak of the devil and he will arrive! I am giving you a very small amount of time to state and show the reasoning as to why you are here!
Cornelius: Just here. Take this.
KASAI: Is this going to blow up in my face?
(KASAI said threateningly as she stood firm, as if she was going to strike Cornelius! Cornelius looked heavily concerned as he backed up creating distance from KASAI.)
Cornelius: No mam
(KASAI just shrugged and she took an envelope from Cornelius sealed tightly that read “FOR KASAI” on the front of it. She opened it confused.. as she pulled it out and started reading it.)
KASAI: “Dear Kussai, she spelled my name wrong? Anyway, “It is formal that we have the most stupendous and expedited match at Grand Rampage, we must become further acquainted. Do you like tea?” Hmm, I don’t mind it. “Good, I knew you were going to answer that question with a yes, so I already pre wrote that in here.” Huh? “In order for us to have the best match in Gloria’s long history, we must together and form a union of happiness and friendship.)
(KASAI was heavily confused here. She continued to examine the paper and slowly read it off with an eyebrow raised.)
KASAI: “So Kussai, I want us to make Gloria proud. It would mean the absolute millions if you came and drank tea with me, and furthermore discussed. Cornelius is afraid of you, but he isn’t going to make you feel like a stranger dear. I hope that you do oblige, because this can truly be something special!!!”
(KASAI finished the note as she looked at Cornelius, before looking at Kyra. Confusion building up on her face as she truly contemplated what she should do..)
KASAI: Eh, whatever. I’ll go, what’s the worst that could possibly happen?
(KASAI asked the question with a shrug and a laugh. She would then crumble up the paper and toss it on the ground behind her. She would then walk away whistling, but she looked at Cornelius on her way out.)
KASAI: So you are scared of me? Good to know.
(KASAI just walked past Cornelius who shuttered at the sight of her before looking at Kyra.)
Cornelius: Clinically insane, she is. I don’t know how Madame Bea hasn’t called the police yet on how to deal with her.
(With that being said, KASAI was off the screen and Showdown soon went elsewhere.)
(Showdown slowly went backstage and towards the scene of the parking lot to be exact, a random security guard was out there in front of the door towards backstage, sitting down and taking a quick nap since there was probably a good chance no one else was arriving here after the show was going on. But of course, someone else that was arriving didn’t plan for his expectation.)
(An uber suddenly parked right in front of the entrance to the parking lot, and the person that walked out of the door was none other than Usagi Senshi, her expression full of anger and annoyance at having to be forced to go to work. After that loss that she suffered last week, she just snapped now and she was forced out of the building last week. Hopefully, she didn’t have as much problems when getting through to the building and actually doing her job.)
(She arrived at the door that the security guard was taking care of and then she annoyingly spoke up.)
Usagi Senshi: Hey you, let me pass through.
Security Guard: Zzzzzzzz…
Usagi Senshi: Hey, are you hearing me?!
Security Guard: Zzzzzz-
Usagi Senshi: YOU FATSO, WAKE THE HELL UP!
(The security guard suddenly jumps up in confusion and shock when Usagi suddenly shouts loudly like that, he looks around in a very confused manner as he spoke up.)
Security Guard: Can I help you?
Usagi Senshi: You can help me by opening the door for me already, go.
Security Guard: Hey wow, now hold on there Miss, the show is already running, I am not allowed to let any other people enter at the moment.
Usagi Senshi: Are you kidding me? I am a wrestler working for the company, my name is Usagi Senshi, I just ended up arriving late to the show, there isn’t any rule against that, now let me pass.
Security Guard: Well, that seems very irresponsible of you then, you should always arrive on time at your job!
(Usagi’s eye slowly starts to twitch with the security guard continuing to bother her and waste her time, she takes a deep breath in and out and then she tries to be somehow nice about it at all.)
Usagi Senshi: Alright, awesome then, I am going to say this in the nicest way possible, stay quiet and open the door for me, don’t you dare utter another word or otherwise, the nap you are going to end up taking is going to have an indefinite time!
Security Guard: …Well, I like long naps myself-
(USAGI GRABS THE SHIRT OFF THE SECURITY GUARD AND THEN RIPS IT CLEAN OFF LIKE A BAND-AID!)
Usagi Senshi: DUMBASS!
(She ends up kicking the door open and then she rushes inside incredibly furious as the security guard stands there shirtless, looking down at his ripped shirt.)
Security Guard: That was my favorite shirt 🙁
(The camera now turned towards the catering area where everyone was grabbing their meal, and taking their own seats after their matches and while the show was going on, there were two stagehands in one of the tables talking it out, with one of them looking considerably sad about something at hand.)
Stagehand One: Hey man, what is happening with you?
Stagehand Two: Don’t worry about it dude, it is just… it is about my wife. We are going through some complicated situations right now.
Stagehand One: I don’t like the sound of that, is anything going on about it?
Stagehand Two: Obviously, we just had a fight about something relating to Disney, she is a big Disney fan since she was very little, she has always wanted to go to Disneyland and see all of the beautiful Disney princesses there but I have never had the money to be able to go to that kind of place, turns out, we have a Disney Princess working here, and just when I end up showing her… she tells me that she isn’t a real Disney Princess.
Stagehand One: I mean… to be fair-
Stagehand Two: She is literally being supported by Disney itself, she is straight supposed to be an actual Disney Princess and my wife doesn’t accept it, come on?
Stagehand One: Well, before you came here, there were basically all kinds of demons running around, I am still not sure if there were just people in masks and paints and they were playing a character, or they were actual demons.
Stagehand Two: This place is weird, isn’t it?
Stagehand One: Yeah, but at least we get paid.
(Stagehand Two was going to grab his food and then take a bite off of it-)
(BEFORE USAGI CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, GRABBED IT AND THEN SMASHED IT RIGHT ONTO THE WALL!)
Stagehand Two: Hey, I was going to eat my food!
Usagi Senshi: HOW ABOUT YOU EAT THIS DICK, YOU VIRGIN?!
Stagehand Two: It is hard for me to get to second base dude 🙁
Stagehand One: Hey, leave my friend alone, he ended up having a rough week with his wife!
Usagi Senshi: I DON’T GIVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT HIS WIFE!
(He grabs Stagehand One’s food and then she spills it all over the floor.)
Stagehand One: Damn.
(It quickly turns into absolute chaos as Usagi just strats grabbing plates from people’s tables and then she starts throwing them on the floor, the people being very inconvenienced about it but not really bothering to speak up or do anything since they had a long day of work and they didn’t want to exert anymore force that they needed to, so they just let Usagi make a mess everywhere that she could.)
Usagi Senshi: IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT ME?! AFTER EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE DONE FOR YOU ALL, FOR THIS COMPANY?! I have wasted years of my life just peerfecting my craft and wasting blood, sweat and tears by competing here almost every single week and this is how you end up repaying me? You continue to take away my opportunities and prevent me from getting anymore, you know what I say to that?! NO MORE! I AM NOT GOING TO GET CONTINUED TO BE TREATED LIKE TRASH BY ALL OF YOU PEOPLE AROUND, I AM ONE OF THE VERY BEST ON SHOWDOWN AND I AM GOING TO PROVE IT WITH OR WITHOUT HELP OF ALL OF YOU-
???: Oh dear, are you done?
(Usagi turns around in an incredibly angry manner and she quickly sees Alana Starr arriving with some security guards, as well as some of the producers since they were curious about what was going on.)
Alana Starr: It isn’t a GOOD look at all that you are just tearing apart catering like that, especially after-
Usagi Senshi: AFTER WHAT I DID LAST WEEK?! Of course I deserve to be pissed, I should be the one who WON that match! I should have been the one with my hand raised up in the air!
Alana Starr: I am sorry, who is at fault with that?
Usagi Senshi: NOT ME, THAT IS FOR SURE! I have rebuilt myself from the ground up after playing second fiddle for years, and now that I finally have a reason to stop holding back, you continue to screw me over? I should be the Universal Women’s Championship, I should be the one fighting for the Answers World Championship!
Alana Starr: …You lost all of those matches, Usagi.
Usagi Senshi: HOW?! WHAT DID I EVER DO IN THIS WORLD TO DESERVE AN EMPTY-HEADED FUCKING DUMB FUCK LIKE KASAI TO TEAM WITH ME AND RUIN MY CHANCES AT WINNING??? WHAT DID I DESERVE FOR CAROLINE TO CHEAT ON THAT MATCH AND TAKE AWAY THE LITTLE BIT OF CHANCES I HAD???
Alana Starr: Well, you both settled that on that ring, and she beat you without any problem, soooooo…
Usagi Senshi: SCREW YOU! YOU!
(She points to one of the producers and he looks very confused as Usagi continues raising her voice even more.)
Usagi Senshi: Do I have anything tonight?!
Producer One: Oh yeah, you do have something tonight! What was it again?
Producer Two: Yeah, you have… uhhhh… you know, that one thing!… Hm.
Producer One: Nevermind. Creative has nothing for you.
Usagi Senshi: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
(Usagi suddenly grabs one of the coolers of water and she lifts it up over, planning to throw it onto the producers before the security guards quickly rush over and end up restraining her and holding her back yet again. After minutes of struggling, they are able to subdue her and calm her down as Alana shakes her head in a disappointed manner.)
Alana Starr: Look, for you and your own GOOD, I am going to have to escort you out of the building for a second time, do you really want that chance? You want to end up getting that opportunity? Then end up getting it in the Grand Rampage match.
(Alana ends up turning her back on her and then she walks away. The security guards stop restraining Usagi and get ready to escort her before she ends up grabbing a table full of pasta and then she flips it over! And after that, she walks away with the security guards.)
Random Wrestler from Catering One: Dude, not the pasta!
Random Wrestler from Catering Two: Hey, there is a lot more food out there! Life is full of PASTA-bilities!
Random Wrestler from Catering One: Shut up man.
(And on that note, Showdown fades away to ringside…)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING IS A SINGLES MATCH SET FOR ONE-FALL!
(‘Betty (Get Money)’ by Yung Gravy plays as golden smoke begins to cover the stage. Clayton Golde emerges from the smoke with a beautiful lady. He makes out with and then shoves her away as he heads down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION IN ROMANIA…WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS…’THE GOSPEL’…CLAYTON GOLDE!
(He gets down to the ring and takes in the boos from the crowd. The music changes to ‘Kamikaze’ by Redhook plays and Daryl Kinkade walks out on the stage. The boos just increase as the crowd reviles Kinkade. He pays it no mind at all and he heads towards the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM NORWICH, ENGLAND..,WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS…’THE KINK OF EAW’…DARYL KINKADE!
(He gets inside the ring and stares down Golde. Golde simply smiles back at him and starts smack talking to him to his face. The ref separates the two and calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: That’s the bell and we are about to witness history! aryl Kinkade immediately lunges at Golde! But wait! Golde puts his hand up, commanding his opponent to cease! He then reaches out his hand for a handshake! Wow, Clayton Golde truly is a great example for the young men across the globe! Daryl reaches out for the hand…AND SIDESTEPS THE DROPKICK ATTEMPT FROM GOLDE! IT WAS A CLEVER RUSE! You can see the amused look on Kinkade’s face as he picks him off the mat! He hooks the arms, looking for the butterfly suplex…
Eve:…but Clayton is able to land on his feet! He lets an elbow fly into the jaw of the Kinkade! He runs over to ropes, gaining some speed before looking for a running big boot! Kinkade is able to punt his leg right out from underneath him! He looks to follow up with a shining wizard now…but Golde ducks under it…HE GRABS DARYL FOR THE SCHOOLBOY! Wait, he lifts him instead…POWERBOMB! Strength on display from the Golde!
Deadprez: That was quite the back and forth between the two men, but now The self-proclaimed Clout Shark is in control! He picks Daryl back up and drives a knee right into his chest! Now he throws him into the corner and starts throwing some jabs at Kinkade! It looks he’s dancing around in between every one of them, clearly focused more on style than substance here! He looks for one more but Daryl catches the hand and throws him into the corner! DARYL GETS HIM WITH A MASSIVE UPPERCUT!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl Kinkade heads to the other side of the ring…AND THEN CHARGES GOLDE WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! He must have just knocked the head right off of Golde! And now at look him, scrapping the Golden God off the mat AND TOSSING HIM INTO THE CORNER WITH THE SUPLEX! Don’t worry folks, this is simply part of the Golde Method, let your opponent think he’s beating the crap out of you when he reality…he’s playing into your hands!
Eve: I don’t know how right you are about that! It looks Daryl Kinkade wants to punish Golde here, LOCKING IN A STANDING DRAGON SLEEPER! And it looks this one could be earlier for your hero than you expected! He’s trying to fight back, reaching up and grabbing at the face of his opponent but Kinkade just tightens the hold! GOLDE DOES AN ACTUAL BACKFLIP AND COUNTERS INTO A DRAGON SLEEPER OF HIS OWN! That is insane athleticism! KINKADE LOOKS TO DO THE SAME!
Deadprez: BUT HE’S CAUGHT AND SLAMMED BACK DOWN INTO THE MAT! The Wincel clearly taking issue with copycats! As Kinkade tries to get back to his feet, Golde drives a forearm right into his back! HE LOOKS FOR THE FAMOUSER FROM BEHIND! But Kinkade is able to duck it! He makes an attempt at the step-up Enziguri, but Clayton ducks under that and grabs his opponent from behind! BACK SUPLEX! NO! Kinkade lands on his feet behind! GOLDE LOOKS FOR A WILD CLOTHESLINE BUT MISSES! He rushes back at Kinkade but he’s lifted up AND RIGHT INTO THE LIGHTING REVERSE DDT! Here comes the first cover of the match!
ONE!
TW-
Gavin Kirkland: HA! I knew that wouldn’t be enough to stop The Gigachad! But it seems that The Sovereign of Showdown didn’t take too kindly to that early kick-out! HE LOOKS FOR THE STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS…BUT FINDS SOME GOLDEN KNEES TO THE STOMACH! Golde scrambles back to his feet and Kinkade isn’t too far behind! Kinkade grabs the leg of Golde, perhaps looking to make it a target! Golde gets him in the face with a right hand! He then drives another knee straight into torso of his opponent before climbing onto the middle rope! GOLDE WANTS TO FLY AND HE DOES! DIVIING BULLDOG ON KINKADE! He looks for his own cover now!
ONE!
TW-
Eve: Daryl Kinkade is able to kick out before the two! It can hard to see through all that ego, but these two are tough elitists! It takes more than that to stop either of them! And that’s clearly what Golde is thinking as he makes his way all the way to the top rope now! He waits for opponent to get back to his feet BEFORE LOOKING FOR THE MISSILE DROPKICK! Unfortunately for him, Kinkade sees it coming and sidesteps it! Golde crashes and burns! DARYL WITH THE STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
Deadprez: He doesn’t go for the cover, instead immediately looking to inflict a new brand of torture on his opponent! He locks in the arm trap seated cloverleaf! This is a particularly brutal submission, taking control of nearly every limb an opponent has! You can tell that Golde is in pain here, but he is gritting his teeth and is refusing to tap out! Instead he uses his one arm to drag himself towards the ropes…HE’S A FINGER ON THE BOTTOM! The ref is telling Kinkade to back off, but Kinkade tells him to kindly F off! He starts the count and Daryl releases it right at the four!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s exactly why that count exists anyways! Daryl is well-within in his rights there! You can see now that Golde has to use the ropes to pull himself back up, evidently worn down by that maneuver! Daryl decides that he had long enough time to recover and tries to go back on the offense! STUN GUN FROM CLAYTON! HE DROPS DARYL STRAIGHT ONTO THE ROPES! He then tucks his head into the ropes, grabs the arms…AND PULLS WITH ALL HIS STRENGTH! DECAPITATOR! This is just smart wrestling from Golde here!
Eve: ‘Smart’…sure. Golde looks to capitalize on that unique offense, applying a submission of his own to Kink of the EAW! He locks in a seat sleeper hold, knowing better than to keep his opponent standing for that! There is an iron-grip to this, squeezing with every ounce of strength he has! Daryl’s face is starting to turn purple! He’s trying to reach out for the ropes, but he is far out of reach! It looks like Kinkade is beginning to fade! Coud this be the upset?
Deadprez: Wait a minute here, Daryl’s eyes open wide and he’s forcing himself back to a standing position! Golde cannot believe that Daryl is able to overpower right now, but he keeps the sleeper locked in tight! HE ELBOWS HIM IN THE GUT BUT IT STAYS IN TIGHT! KINKADE BEGINS TO PRY THE ARMS OF GOLDE OFF OF HIM! GOLDE SENSES THE DANGER AND DROPS HIM WITH A BACKSTABBER! He did want Daryl to regain any momentum there! Golde wastes zero time here…HE HITS THE LEG DROP!
Gavin Kirkland: And another! And he’s enjoying everyone one of them! Making sure to taunt Kinkade during every one of them! This is called The Golde Rush! HE LOOKS FOR THE FINAL LEG DROP BUT DARYL ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! The Gospel might have the wind knocked out of him there, but Kinkade is back to his feet! HE DRILLS GOLDE WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! He then pulls him up in a full Nelson position…SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! England’s Finest Export is showing some aggressive offense here tonight!
Eve: Daryl takes a second to breathe now that Golde has been humbled! He hooks the arms of Golde, pulling him and looking for the Liger Bomb! The “Alpha Male” shoves Kinkade away retreats into the corner! Apparently he wasn’t looking forward to that one! Kinkade stays on him though WITH A HANDSPRING ROUNDHOUSE INTO THE CORNER! He then grabs the arm of Golde and drags him towards the center of the ring…HAIL TO THE VICTOR! He spikes Golde’s skull into the mat with that pump handle piledriver! And now a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
T-
Deadprez: GOLDE AIN’T DONE YET! He kicks out right before the three! Again, there is frustration on the face of Daryl Kinkade, not wanting the younger elitist to get any of his spotlight! He grabs him behind and hauls him over to the corner now! What does he have in mind here? WAIT A SECOND, HE’S LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX STRAIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! GOLDE FLIPS BACKWARDS AND CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE MIDDLE ROPES! Kinkade tries to approach but takes a boot to the face! He’s in prime position now! GOLDE WITH A DIVING CLOTHESLINE!
Gavin Kirkland: He cuts down Kinkade with a massive impact! Clayton now brings Kinkade back to his feet, clearly looking to hit him with a big move! He places his fist an inch away from the chest of Kinkade…AND THEN HITS HIM WITH THE ONE-INCH PUNCH! DARYL KINKADE STUMBLES BACKWARDS AND THROUGH THE ROPES! That is just the freak strength that comes from consuming copious amounts of Liquid Golde!
Eve: Golde now goes to the outside, wanting to continue his assault! He grabs Kinkade’s head and smashes it right off the apron! He carries him over to the barricade and smashes his face off that too! It looks like Golde is dragging his opponent over to us now at commentary! HE SMASHES HIS FACE OFF THE COMMENTARY TABLE! GOLDE IS USING EVERY PART OF THE ARENA HE CAN! Kinkade barely seems conscious after all this, but Golde eyes something else he can bounce his head off! HE GOES TO THROW HIM INTO THE RING POST…
Deadprez: BUT DARYL REVERSES AND THROWS CLAYTON INTO THE POST! Golde goes down like a domino and Kinkade takes the chance to crawl back inside the ring! The referee is about to start the count but Daryl tells him not to bother! Kinkade lines up his shot on the outside, just waiting for the Golde to get back to his feet! HE LOOKS FOR THE SUICIDE DIVE! GOLDE DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY! HE RUSHES BACK INSIDE THE RING AND THEN LOOKS FOR ONE OF HIS OWN! KINKADE DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: He goes back into the ring and lines up another shot! SASUKE SPECIAL! BUT GOLDE DROPKICKS IN MID-AIR! These two are top level athletes, able to fly around the ring with ease, but there’s a reason these are called high-risk moves! Golde throws him back inside the ring! He waits for him to get back to a vertical basis and heads over to the ropes…SPRINGBOARD STUNNER! GOLDE CALLS THAT THE BRAND DEAL! AND NOW WE ANOTHER COVER FROM THE GOLDEN GOD!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
Eve: KINKADE KICKS OUT! That was a close call, but this one isn’t quite over yet! But Golde has every intention of putting his opponent away shortly! He grabs the throat of Kinkade and pulls him forward to scream in his face! He picks him in the powerslam position, perhaps setting up for that lethal Golde Pill! But Kinkade slips right over his shoulders and behind him! POISON-RANA! AGAIN GOLDE IS SPIKED STRAIGHT ONTO HIS HEAD! He picks Golde back up, looking for MONKE FLIP NOW!
Deadprez: BUT GOLDE THROWS HIM AWAY AND ACROSS THE RING! GOLDE RUSHES AT HIS OPPONENT LOOKS FOR A CLOTHESLINE! Kinkade grabs the arms AND HITS HIM WITH A TIGER SUPLEX! He locks onto the arm now, looking for another submission maneuver! CATCH 22! Golde is placed into that excruciating Bridging Fujiwara Armbar! It’s already a painful enough move, but the bridge can nearly pull the arm right out of it’s socket! Golde looks like he wants to scream, but is biting his tongue!
Gavin Kirkland: He reaches out for the ropes but Kinkade drags him back towards the center! He tries to roll over onto his stomach, but he can’t get it! Could this be it for Golde? NO! HE MANAGES WRIGGLE HIS WAY TO THE ROPES! HE FORCES THE BREAK! Kinkade doesn’t release the hold though, instead keeping hold of the arm and standing back up! He pulls Golde away from the ropes and stomps down on his head! He picks him back up and tosses him into the corner! RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT ONCE MORE!
Eve: GOLDE AVOIDS IT! He then starts jabbing away at his opponent like earlier in the match! This time there are no theatrics to be had…he is just beating the snot out of his Kinkade! He then grabs him by the head and just starts smashing it right off the turnbuckle! Clayton Golde is relentless! DARYL SHOVES HIM BACK…RIGHT INTO THE REF! Clayton Golde rushes him one more time, clotheslining him into the corner! HE THEN GRABS HIM AND HITS THE 304! HIP TOSS STRAIGHT INTO THE CORNER! HE COVERS!
Deadprez: I can’t believe it, Golde can’t believe! Since the ref is down, there is no one to count the cover! He looks devastated for a moment, but it quickly turns into a sinister smile! He drags his opponent over to the ropes and starts using them to choke him out! The ref is just starting to stir so Clayton can just keep going! The ref finally gets to his feet and sees what’s going on! He starts the five count and Golde finally lets him go! The damage has already been done and it seems like Kinkade might not have any fight left in him!
Gavin Kirkland: That was pure genius from Golde! And now it’s time for him to finally put down Kinkade! He picks him up…HE GETS HIM IN POSITION FOR THE C’EST LA VIE! BUT KINKADE TURNS AROUND AND NAILS HIM WITH THE SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! He goes down but Daryl collapses! It was a desperate move but at least he spared himself a few extra moments! It looks like the two elitists are now finally trying to get back to their feet! They’re both in opposite corners, having to use the ropes to lift themselves up!
Eve: THEY RUSH AT EACH AND MEET EACH OTHER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! The two trade blows back and forth…BUT CLAYTON GETS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK! It stuns Kinkade so Golde lifts him up, looking for a Powerbomb! Daryl drives an elbow down into his head! OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL GOLDE GOES DOWN! HE LOOKS FOR THE SHINING WIZARD BUT GOLDE ROLLS HIM UP INSTEAD! KINKADE COUNTERS, PICKING HIM UP FOR THE LIGER BOMB!
Deadprez: He rolls him back to his feet and then drops him with the enziguri! Clayton Golde isn’t in control here any longer! Daryl Kinkade pulls him back up after all that…A BEAUTIFUL LIE! THE CROSS-LEGGED FISHERMAN’S BUSTER HITS! KINKADE COVERS!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Kamikaze’ by Redhook begins to play as Kinkade rolls off of Golde with a smile on his face.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…’THE KINK OF THE ELITE’…DARYL KINKADE!
Gavin Kirkland: What a match here folks! Unfortunately for Clayton Golde, Kinkade is ruthless! He can take punishment and he can dish it out! All of the tactics that Golde could think of weren’t enough to stop him! AND N-
(‘Unfuckwittable’ by Kid Cutti plays as Jon Kelton storms the ring. He starts attacking Daryl Kinkade.)
Deadprez: JON KELTON IS HERE AND HE’S THROWING HANDS WITH KINKADE! These two are brawling back and forth, but Kinkade is struggling to fight back! He looks for a wild swing but Kelton tosses him right over the top rope! Is this a sign of things to come at Grand Rampage?
(Daryl looks shocked and angry on the outside. In the ring, Jon Kelton is smiling down on Kinkade as the camera fades.)
(“Refuse Resist” by Sepultura starts to play throughout the arena as it fades back to a commercial break. Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley both walk out, they make a dart to the ring and have no other intentions as the crowd gives them immense boos.)
Deadprez: And here are the number one contenders to the Unified Tag Team Champions, they are looking to take those titles at The Grand Rampage, but after what we saw the last week both on Showdown and on Voltage, these two ladies are at their most dangerous right now and would be foolish to bet against them.
Eve: You are right Prez, we have not seen Halsey and Pandora more motivated than they are now, and what they did was make a huge statement costing The Jaded Hearts the tag team titles, but I see why they did it, finding NICHOLISM the lesser of two evils and are confident they can beat that great tag team, it is a smart play, no question about it, but after what we saw on Showdown to close out the show and then on Voltage? This has become personal; it is now bad blood, and I don’t think anyone is going to stop them from doing whatever they can to win those tag team titles.
Gavin Kirkland: Two beautiful women that are badass, dangerous and have sexy accents. My Hellcat is single, she is fire and my future wife, there is no question about that, but right now what you are looking at is two women that are tired of it, Eve. They want the flowers and the payoff now. They need to walk into Grand Rampage and win those titles, so that we on Showdown can celebrate!
(Pandora and Halsey slide into the ring, they both have mics in hand, in their street clothes. Pandora paces the ring before the music dies down.)
Pandora Paisley: You want to boo us!? GO right ahead and boo us! What you saw last week is what a woman put in my position. ARIA asked for it, she wanted to bleed me, she was looking to end my career, I could see it in her eyes and right in front of her lover, Alex Myers. See, they can’t take the fact I made their girl bleed, I put her in a position that would have ripped her head in half had I pulled back any harder, love! If I am to be frank here, I loved every minute of it and what I did to put her in that predicament was intentional, because I tested ARIA and she failed!
(The crowd erupts in boos.)
Crowd: YOU SUCK!!!! YOU SUCK!!!! YOU SUCK!!!!!
Halsey Neel: NO! YOU SUCK!!
(The crowd boos even louder.)
Halsey Neel: What my sister in arms did last week was beautiful! She was a bloody Picasso and the ring was her canvas! You don’t get it! See, Alex Myers can’t cope, they can’t come to terms that their girlfriend was outclassed by Pandora and what we have become in a very short period of time. But of course, there is a disrespect here. NICHOLISM was NOT going to beat the Jaded Hearts. We made sure they did for one reason? Because those titles are coming to US! We have been sick and tired of waiting for so damn long, that this is our time. There is one problem though. We went to Voltage last week, I wrestled Alex Myers, and NICHOLISM couldn’t swallow the fact I was going to beat him like Pandora beat ARIA the prior night! Then all hell breaks lose? Maybe it is time that NICHOLISM comes out here on OUR turf this time, no free tickets, no show of Pandora killing Alex’s lover!
Pandora Paisley: That is right, NICHOLISM! IT is simple, come out here right now and look us face to face!
(After a few seconds ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries starts to play throughout the arena as the fans stand and cheer. Alex Myers and Ruler walk out holding the Unified Tag Team titles over their shoulders. Alex has a mic in hand.)
Deadprez: THEY ARE HERE! Business is about to pick up!
Eve: The British Invasion made the call…. And NICHOLISM answered, we are about to get a very volatile situation here!
Gavin Kirkland: IT IS ABOUT TO GET INTERESTING AND LOOK AT PANDORA! SHE THROWS HER HAT AND TAKES HER OFF THOSE HEELS! SHE IS READY TO FIGHT!
(Alex stops for a second, listening to the cheers from the crowd as they start to speak when the music goes down.)
Alex Myers: This was supposed to be a Tag Team title defense for us. A chance to wrestle two of the best young female Elitists on the roster, and instead Pandora…. You MADE THIS PERSONAL! Looking right in my eyes while ARIA would not give up and all you could do is smile and pull back trying to rip her mouth open! You are crazy, but what you are about to learn is that Ruler and I….. WE ARE EXTREME! You really think this is cute?
(Pandora laughs…)
Pandora Paisley: Was she able to kiss you goodnight, flower?
(Halsey starts to laugh as the crowd erupts in boos, Ruler tries to hold Alex back as he speaks now.)
Ruler: Ladies…. It is obvious to us that this can only end one way. This is no longer about the tag team championships; it is about ending this for you two. Alex and I will not be satisfied until we leave you both lying in your own blood lifeless.
Halsey Neel: Like Pandora left ARIA. Tell me something, Alex. How did it feel being helpless and not able to do anything about it? To know that nothing you could do was able to protect her?
Pandora Paisely: And what is even better? Is when Grand Rampage is over, and you have to go back to your hotel room and look her right in the eyes and tell ARIA that you were not GOOD enough to avenge her? Go ahead… let me hear it, love.
(Alex nods and shrugs his shoulders.)
Alex Myers: Maybe that is better left for us to show you.)
Deadprez: NICHOLISM BEELINE TO THE RING AND SLIDE IN, HALSEY AND PANDORA ARE THERE KICKING THEM WHILE THEY ARE DOWN! BUT ALEX IS ABLE TO GET UP AND LAND SOME FISTS ON PANDORA! HALSEY NEEL PICKS UP RULER AND STARTS HITTING FOREARMS ON HIM, BUT HE BLOCKS AND TACKLES HALSEY TO THE GROUND!
(The crowd cheers but then starts to boo as referees and officials start running out from the back.)
Eve: ALEX FLIPS PANDORA OVER AND TAKES HER DOWN! THEY ARE TRYING TO CHOKE HER OUT BUT SHE WEDGES HER FOOT AND PRESSES ON THEIR FACE TRYING TO PUSH OFF BUT ALEX DOESN’T LET GO! HALSEY AND RULER ARE TRADING PUNCHES AND HERE COMES THE REFEREES AND OFFICIALS INTO THE RING!
(The crowd continues to boo as they try to separate the four Elitists. More security now scatters into the ring trying to separate both as the chaotic scene is out of control.)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT!!! LET THEM FIGHT!!! LET THEM FIGHT!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THEY HAVE BEEN SEPARATED BUT PANDORA IS KICKING AND SCREAMING AT ALEX WHO IS TRYING TO BREAK FREE FROM THE SECURITY!
Deadprez: WE ARE TRYING TO RESTORE ORDER! WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK!
(The chaotic scene continues as it slowly fades to a commercial break.)
(We cut to the office of Kennedy Street, the woman herself looking over some notes, and looking mightily pleased with herself. I mean, when did she not, but this time she seemed almost giddy with excitement.)
Kennedy Street: Well, Kennie, I think you have surpassed yourself… Showdown is going to dominate Grand Rampage this year. Like there was ever any doubt.
(She looks over at AJAX, who is as always on edge.)
Kennedy Street: I wasn’t talking to myself AJAX… promise.
(AJAX shrugs, he was more than used to her mannerisms by now, and complimenting herself wasn’t the rarity she believed it to be. As AJAX contemplates that, Scott Diamond walks into the room, Kennedy looking up and looking more than a little surprised. She gets to her feet, and AJAX is about to intercept, but Kennedy holds up her hand.)
Kennedy Street: Back down AJAX, I’m sure Mr. Diamond isn’t here to cause trouble. Isn’t that right Scott?
(Scott nods the affirmative, and Kennedy offers him a seat, before once again sitting herself down.)
Kennedy Street: So, to what do I owe the pleasure?
Scott Diamond: I’m not happy.
Kennedy Street: I thought that was your default setting these days. You need to turn that frown upside down.
(It was a little joke by Kennedy, but it is immediately ignored.)
Scott Diamond: This is serious… this season has been a non-event for me.
(Truth was, Kennedy agreed and if she was brutally honest, she had been more than a little disappointed considering the investment she had placed in him.)
Kennedy Street: I’m not going to disagree with you honey, things could have gone a lot better. I mean, when someone has achieved as much as you, then of course there is going to be expectations, but I’ll admit, you have fallen short.
Scott Diamond: I know what people think about me around here, I heard so many times over the last months how I am past my sell-by date, and it’s come from people that shouldn’t even be in the same ring as someone like me. I want a challenge Kennedy, in fact no, that’s wrong. I need a challenge. Things can’t continue the way they are.
(Kennedy nods her head, agreeing with the sentiment. Of course, she put a lot of stock in her roster taking matters into their own hands, but she could see that Scott was floundering. In fact, she had seen it for a few months now.)
Kennedy Street: So, I guess the question is what are you going to do about it Scott?
(It was the million-dollar question, and one that Scott had given a lot of thought to. There was only one way he believed he could claim back his reputation.)
Scott Diamond: I didn’t come back to this company to be some bench player and stand by while people that aren’t fit to lace my boots took my spots. I’m not happy to be some ‘middle of the road’ guy, sitting back and allowing Daryl Kinkade to lord it over me as if he is in some way special. I have never known a time when I wasn’t at the very top of this company, and just because I’m a little older, doesn’t mean that must change.
Kennedy Street: I agree with the sentiment, but I still don’t know what you are getting at.
Scott Diamond: There is only one way to change the trajectory of my career and answer my many critics.
Kennedy: So?
Scott Diamond: Simple. I want in on the Grand Rampage. And YOU can make that happen.
(Kennedy smirks, as if she had thought of the idea herself. A dominant Scott Diamond would ultimately be good for business, and if he could win Grand Rampage, then it would do everything for him, as well as the Showdown brand. She nods, a smirk forming on Scott’s face as he realizes he has her approval.)
Kennedy Street: I approve. You’re in.
Scott Diamond: Thank you… but I do have to warn you of a few things.
(Kennedy scowls, she was perfectly happy with the situation as it was, without the need for any caveats.)
Kennedy Street: Kennie doesn’t like surprises honey… not that kind anyway.
Scott Diamond: I want to be very clear; I don’t want to be a part of this match to make up the numbers.
Kennedy Street: I don’t expect you to be, you certainly have the size and strength to do very well.
Scott Diamond: I’m going to make a statement, and to make that statement I am going to have to hurt a lot of people.
Kennedy Street: Good. Go out there and hurt all the Dynasty and Voltage competitors. It’s exactly what people should expect from someone like you.
(Scott pauses, and his eyes narrow. Very slowly, he starts to shake his head from side to side.)
Scott Diamond: No Kennedy, when I say I am going to hurt a lot of people, I mean EVERYONE. NO exceptions. Thank you for your time.
(Scott gets to his feet and takes his leave, Kennedy watching him go with her eyes wide. Once he has left, she takes her cellphone out of her drawer, and dials a number, bringing the handset to her ear. After a few moments, someone obviously answers, Kennedy making her next words as clear as she possibly can.
Kennedy Street: Alana, honey… I need you to take out more insurance on the Showdown roster.
(She pauses a moment, listening to Alana’s reply.)
Kennedy Street: Just do it honey… I think we just woke a monster.
(Kennedy looks serious, as the scene slowly fades to the final match of the night.)
(‘STFU!’ by Rina Sawayama begins to play through the speakers as the crowd welcomes Miku Sakai with a negative reception. Miku comes out from the back as poses for the crowd before flipping them off and making her way down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM FUKUI, JAPAN…MIKU SAKAI!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: For the past several weeks, Miku Sakai has found herself having issues with Raven Roberts, which began during ‘Blind Faith.’ And, speaking of Raven Roberts…
(The camera pans to Raven Roberts who sits next to Eve on the announcer’s table. She has a headset on as she wears a smile on her face.)
Gavin Kirkland: Raven, welcome to the table.
Raven Roberts: Thank you! Glad to be here, everyone. I’m just here to scout the competition and not do what Miku did two weeks ago by attacking me. I’m not even looking to try what she did last week before Scott Diamond helped me out. Thank you, Scott by the way, but I come in peace.
(Miku Sakai is staring at Raven Roberts from inside the ring as Raven says nothing, but stares at her back.)
Eve: Raven, as we encourage with everyone, we welcome input. Feel free to say anything to add onto the conversation throughout the match. Anything to give us insight.
Raven Roberts: Will do.
(‘Tupac Back’ by Meek Mill featuring Rick Ross begins to play throughout the arena as the crowd pops for Cy Henderson who is soaking in the reception from the crowd. He seems to be more than hyped up for this match.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK…WEIGHING AT THE WEIGHT OF 240 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE JUSTICE SEEKER’…CY HENDERSON!!!!!!
Deadprez: Now, Cy Henderson was the man who was victorious in the ‘Blind Faith’ 8-Person Over The Cage Match at Reasonable Doubt! With that, he was given the opportunity to face Chef Viz for the Answers World Championship at Grand Rampage! Speaking of Chef Viz…
(The camera pans to Chef Viz sitting next to Gavin Kirkland with a headset of his own. The Answers World Champion is sat up in front of him on the announcer’s table. He seems to be more than calm at the moment.)
Gavin Kirkland: We are in the presence of the chef! Chef Viz, welcome!
Chef Viz: Thank you, Gavin! Like Raven, I’m here to look at my competition. See, if he’s any different from the last time that I’ve wrestled him. Seeing what I can pick on.
Eve: Earlier this season, you and Cy Henderson faced each other in a Steel Cage match which ended in a draw. With that, it left the crowd wanting more from the two of you. They want to see a clear winner for Grand Rampage.
Chef Viz: And, they’ll get that and it’s gonna be me, Eve. It’s almost been a year and Cy Henderson remains a thorn in my side. I look to get rid of that when Grand Rampage arrives.
(Cy Henderson is staring at Chef Viz from inside the ring. Chef Viz forms a smirk on his face as he looks comfortable in his seat. Cy looks away as he seems to shift his focus towards Miku Sakai.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: The match is underway and Miku Sakai —
(Miku Sakai rolls out of the ring before Cy Henderson could make some contact with her. The crowd doesn’t seem to like this whatsoever. Miku is looking all chill as she plans to take all the time she possibly can. Cy has his hands on his hips, like he should have expected that Miku would pull off something like this.)
Gavin Kirkland: Well, there is Miku Sakai who is outside of the ring as she seems to be in no rush to get back inside the ring. Cy Henderson is gesturing for the former Specialists Champion to head straight back to the ring, but Miku is doing some arm stretches as she screams for the referee to hold back Cy.
Raven Roberts: It seems like she’s trying to bait Cy, but Cy’s a veteran and will be able to spot that from a mile away.
Eve: Cy Henderson is holding down the ropes for Miku Sakai! I think that you’re right about that, Raven! He’s not going to find himself being baited by Miku! The referee is holding back Cy, giving Miku a bit of time to roll back inside the ring! After a moment, it seems like Miku is finally rolling herself back inside the ring! She is standing across the ring from Cy as the referee steps aside, finally allowing this match to get underway!
Chef Viz: About time! Cook Miku Cook!
Deadprez: Cy Henderson goes to lock up with Miku Sakai, but Miku manages to get herself out of the way! She dodged that lock up completely! But, it seems like Cy is going in to lock up with Miku once more, but Miku ducks for a second time! Then, it seems like Cy catches her by the element of surprise as he goes to grab her by her waist! But, Miku duck once more! INSTEAD, IT’S MIKU WHO BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH A SERIES OF SHOOT KICKS TO THE LEGS OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, MIKU IS CONNECTING WITH THESE SHOOT KICKS AS CY IS TRYING TO BLOCK EACH SHOT! MIKU GOES FOR ANOTHER SHOOT KICK, BUT CY MANAGES TO CATCH HER BY THE LEG! MIKU LOOKS LIKE SHE’S PANICKING AT THE MOMENT AS SHE INSISTS THAT CY PUT HER FOOT DOWN! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE THE HALL OF FAMER HAS OTHER PLANS!
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson takes Miku Sakai down with a dragon screw leg whip! Miku is clutching onto that leg as Cy manages to pull her closer into a headlock and connect with a snap suplex! Then, he has her in a seated headlock, but it seems like Miku is not looking to stay there for too long! She tries to bring herself to her feet, BUT CY MANAGES TO GRAB HER BY THE ARMS AND PULL HER BACK! HE CONNECTS WITH A GIANT KNEE TO THE SPINE OF THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! THIS TAKES MIKU DOWN TO HER KNEES! CY RUNS AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SLIDING CLOTHESLINE AS HE TAKES MIKU TO HER BACK! CY WITH THE QUICK COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTWWWWW—
Eve: Miku Sakai with a kick out! Cy Henderson manages to pick up Miku by one of her pigtails before getting a hold of her arm! He whips Miku to the corner as Miku catches herself at the corner! Cy charges right after her, connecting with a clothesline! Miku stumbles forward, BUT CY MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH AN ARMDRAG TAKEDOWN! BUT, HE STILL HAS POSSESSION OF MIKU’S ARM! HE APPLIES A STANDING ARMBAR ON MIKU AS MIKU TRIES TO SPIN HERSELF AROUND AND LOOK FOR A GOOD FOOTING TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT! BUT, CY MANAGES TO PULL HER UP AND GET HER IN A BEAR HUG POSITION! MIKU BEGINS TO PUNCH ON THE SHOULDERS, TRYING TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THE HOLD!
Deadprez: Cy Henderson begins to hold onto his eye and he drops Miku Sakai down! I think that Miku might have poked Cy in the eye! But, I don’t think that the referee was in the right angle to see all of that happening! Miku connects with a dropkick to the gut of the Hall of Famer as that takes him back to the ropes! Miku charges towards Cy, following that up with a wicked knee strike! This takes the bigger man down to his knees as Miku jumps towards him and connects with a jumping flatliner! Miku goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWW—
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson lifts Miku Sakai off of him! Miku lands on her stomach as she pops herself back to her knees! Miku is clutching her stomach as she begins to back away from the ropes! Cy finds himself in a crawling position as he tries to get to his feet! But, Miku charges right at him and connects with a tilt-a-whirl head scissors takedown as that sends Cy flying across the ring and to one of the corners!
Chef Viz: Come on, she weighs like 110 pounds! How much trouble can one little girl give you?
Raven Roberts: 110 pounds and packs a punch. We see Miku tightened up her pigtails before running to the corner with Cy and taking him down with a flying forearm! Cy manages to sit himself on the second turnbuckle as Miku begins to take a couple of steps back! She’s hiking up that skirt of hers as —
Chef Viz: Cy Henderson is feasting on Miku Sakai’s roast beef! The bronco buster being done on Cy! I’m not sure if he can handle a little ‘Mustache Ride,’ but can you, Raven?
Raven Roberts: Such a shame. Miku Sakai has great talent. Former Specialists Champion, Unified Tag Team Champion, second place in Empress of Elite three years ago. I don’t think that she needs to resort herself to such moves like this —
Eve: You do have a point. But, at the same time, Miku Sakai has always done these moves as a form of humiliation. Miku wants nothing more than to humiliate her opponents. Make them feel weak and inferior to her. It seems like she’s doing that with Cy Henderson.
Gavin Kirkland: I disagree with the two of you. Back when I was with Fox, Stephon Hunte would always tell us that sex sells and I think that Miku Sakai is VERY on point with what sells! Give us the roast beef!
Chef Viz: FACTS, GAV!
Raven Roberts: I could have gone on with the rest of my life without hearing that man’s name.
Deadprez: I could have gone on with the rest of my life without learning some of the things that I’ve known from Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: Ouch! DP, I know that you love me! Miku Sakai begins to back away and that was probably one of the worst things that she could have done in this match! She begins to connect with a series of mudhole stomps on the Hall of Famer! Cy is trying to block all of these shots, but Miku presses her boot against Cy’s face as it seems like the referee might need to begin his count there!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR BOOT OFF HIS FACE, MIKU!
Miku Sakai: 🫸
Eve: Miku Sakai is telling the referee to ‘talk to the hand’ as she begins to back away! She is waiting for the most pristine moment! She stalks Cy Henderson back to his feet before charging at him with a meteora! NO! BUT, CY MANAGES TO USE HIS STRAIGHT TO HOLD MIKU INTO POSITION! MIKU IS SHAKING HER HEAD NO! SHE REALIZES THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE HERSELF IN A POSITION THAT SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE IN! CY PROCEEDS TO LIFT UP MIKU! MIKU IS SCREAMING AS SHE FINDS HERSELF HIGH IN THE AIR! A MILITARY PRESS BY CY HAS HER HIGH UP AS CY THROWS HER BEHIND HIM! MIKU LANDS RIGHT ON THE RIBS!
Deadprez: That is totally going to leave some bruising there! Cy Henderson manages to shake some feeling back into him as he picks up Miku Sakai! He gets her into position before connecting with an exploder suplex as that sends her rolling to one of the corners! We see that Cy is charging right at her with a running clothesline, but Miku manages to get herself out of the way! She grabs Cy by her legs and connects with a flatliner to the turnbuckle at the corner! Then, she sits on the back of Cy as she connects with a sunset flip! Cy’s back slams right onto the canvas as Miku goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson with a kick out! But, it seems like Miku Sakai has the Hall of Famer by his legs! She is positioning herself, so that she’s standing behind the corner! She catapults Cy, SO THAT HE COLLIDES FACE FIRST TO THE TURNBUCKLE AT THE CORNER! CY STARTS TO FALL BACK, BUT MIKU QUICKENS THAT PACE BY CONNECTING WITH AN ELBOW DROP TO THE CHEST OF CY AS HE GOES CRASHING BACK DOWN! MIKU GOES FOR A COVER ONCE MORE!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Eve: Cy Henderson with a kick out here! Miku Sakai gets Cy in a front headlock as she delivers a series of knees to the gut of the former World Champion! Cy bends forward as he clutches his stomach! Miku moves on and connects with a series of punches to the spine of Cy! She is getting the more experienced Elitist to his knee! Now, it’s going to be quite impossible for someone like Miku to pick up Cy! At least, I would think so?
Raven Roberts: Nothing is too impossible, Eve. It’s something to train for, but it’s not impossible.
Chef Viz: We gotta be realistic with her. Twig and bones Miku is not lifting up anyone without breaking a bone and I got the receipts to —
(As Chef Viz and Raven Roberts are bickering with each other like they’re Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe, the camera pans back to the action inside the ring where we see that Miku Sakai is attempting to lift up Cy Henderson for a snap suplex. We see a bit of struggle on the face of the former Specialists Champion, but she has not given up.)
Deadprez: It seems like Miku Sakai is trying to lift up Cy Henderson for a snap suplex! But, Cy has his feet planted to the ground! Cy is doing a great job with keeping himself grounded! AND… IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE CY THAT LIFTS UP MIKU AND CONNECTS WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! MIKU IS CLUTCHING ON HER LOWER BACK AS YOU CAN SEE THE LOOK OF PAIN ON HER FACE! SHE IS TRYING TO GET HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AS CY BEATS HER TO THE PUNCH AS HE PULLS HER BY HER ARM AND CONNECTS WITH A WRIST-PULL KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF MIKU AS THAT SENDS HER BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson looks like he might be ready to wrap this match up as he gets Miku Sakai ready for the ‘Rising Tide’ — his variation of the burning hammer! BUT, MIKU DROPS OFF THE SHOULDERS OF CY! SHE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING AS SHE ROLLED HERSELF OUT OF THE RING! THAT WAS A NICE SAVE FROM MIKU, WHO KNEW THAT SHE WAS IN SOME TROUBLE AS SHE SLOWLY BEGAN TO BACK AWAY! SHE KNOWS THAT SHE DODGED A BULLET THERE —
(Miku Sakai stops as she realizes that she backed away to the announcer’s table and right in front of the view of Raven Roberts. Raven gives a playful wave as Miku delivers a middle finger to Raven which may or may not get censored on live television.)
Raven Roberts: I was being cordial. Wasn’t I?
Eve: Well, Miku is always going to be Miku.
Deadprez: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! MIKU SAKAI THINKS THAT SHE MIGHT BE SAFE, BUT CY HENDERSON BEGINS TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING AS HE BEGINS TO GO RIGHT AFTER MIKU! MIKU AND CY ARE CHASING EACH OTHER ALL AROUND THE RING! I THINK THAT WE NEED THE BENNY HILL MUSIC TO PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND AS MIKU GETS RIGHT BEHIND RAVEN, ALMOST USING YOU AS A SHIELD, RAVEN!
Raven Roberts: Come on, Miku. You’re not going to tell me that you’re afraid of Cy, right?
Chef Viz: Ain’t no one afraid of old and flabby Cy Henderson.
(Raven Roberts gets out of her chair, moving herself out of the way and providing Cy Henderson with the clear path to get to Miku. Meanwhile, it seems like Cy is looking towards Chef Viz’ way, almost delivering a stare that says “better watch what you say” before turning his attention to Miku. But, Miku shoves the chair forward towards Cy as she makes a bolt out of the announcer’s area.)
Gavin Kirkland: IT SEEMED LIKE MIKU SAKAI FOUND HER OPENING AS SHE LAUNCHED HERSELF BEHIND CY HENDERSON! NAILING HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AS HE ALMOST LAUNCHES HIMSELF NEAR CHEF VIZ! CY MANAGES TO STOP HIMSELF AS HE IS JUST BARELY INCHES AWAY FROM YOU, VIZ!
Chef Viz: Doing a good job, little buddy! You’re letting this 110 pound whoop your ass —
Eve: MIKU SAKAI GETS A GOOD HOLD OF CY HENDERSON BY HIS WAIST AND THROWS HIM SPINE FIRST AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON! WE SEE THAT MIKU IS DELIVERING SOME PUNCHES TO THE BACK OF HIS SPINE AS SHE MANAGES TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO HIS KNEES! BUT, LOOK AT THIS — MIKU IS GETTING THE SKIRT OF THE APRON AS SHE LOOKS TO SUFFOCATE CY WITH IT! IS THIS EVEN LEGAL?
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Deadprez: Miku Sakai releases Cy Henderson and I thought that Miku was going to suffocate the poor guy to death! Miku gets Cy by the nape of his neck and throws him back inside the ring! Miku slides underneath the bottom rope shortly after as she takes him back with a running blockbuster as he falls to his back! Miku goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson with a kick out! Miku Sakai stands him up and it seems like Miku is trying to apply a sleeper hold on the former World Champion! She is staring daggers at you, Raven! She wants to know that she’s more than notices your presence at ringside! I mean, how impressive would it be to get a victory over someone of Cy’s caliber?
Raven Roberts: It would be something to really notice and take under consideration. I think that Miku is a talented wrestler. She really has a way of getting underneath your skin, but —
Chef Viz: I mean, I’d get a sense of material to use against him. But, it would be like an eyebrow raising moment. I mean, might as well give Miku his shot at the Answers World Championship at that rate. Like, I could drag Miku Sakai by those pigtails and send her flying back to Tokyo without breaking a sweat.
Eve: It seems like Cy Henderson is finding a way back to his feet! Still, it seems like Miku is still trying to apply for the sleeper hold on the Hall of Famer! Miku Sakai is refusing to let that go, knowing that the longer she keeps that hold on him, the weaker that he’ll get! But, Cy is using that strength to get himself up to his feet! But, Miku is choking the life out of him! Cy is going to need to think of something that is going to get himself out of this situation!
Deadprez: It seems like Cy Henderson is going to stumble himself back to one of the corners in hopes that Miku Sakai is going to slip off of him! Miku goes crashing through the spine first at the corner as she still finds a way to keep hanging onto Cy’s back like she is a monkey! She still has that sleeper hold applied to him! Cy begins to walk forward before slamming back to the corner! But, it’s no luck as Miku is still hanging on! I think that Cy might have one last one in him as he walks forward before slamming back to the corner for a third time as that causes Miku to slip off of them! She clutches to the rope on each side of her! Cy turns around, but Miku gets a foot up, hoping to push him away!
Gavin Kirkland: But, Cy Henderson, using all the strength that he can muster up, manages to yank Miku Sakai away from the corner as she drops to her back! We see that Cy still has possession of her leg as he begins to clutch solely on her ankle and I THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING CY APPLY AN ANKLE LOCK ON THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! MIKU IS BEGINNING TO CRY OUT IN PAIN AS CY FULLY APPLIES THE ANKLE LOCK ON MIKU! MIKU IS TRYING TO CLUTCH TO THE BOTTOM ROPE! BUT, CY IS TRYING TO PULL HER BACK! BUT, MIKU MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF THROUGH AS SHE MANAGES TO GET THE STRENGTH TO FLIP CY AHEAD OF HER! Miku finds herself up to her feet as she looks to shake some feeling back to her ankle! Cy is up to his feet shortly after as Cy runs after her!
Eve: ‘CALAMITY’ — HIS VARIATION OF THE GORE TO MIKU SAKAI! BUT, MIKU MANAGES TO JUMP ONTO THE SPINE OF THE ORDER WORLD CHAMPION! IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S GOING FOR A SUNSET FLIP ON CY HENDERSON! BUT, CY — CY MANAGES TO KEEP MIKU SAKAI IN THAT POSITION! INSTEAD, HE ANGLES HER BODY BACK UP AS HE HAS HER IN POSITION FOR THAT BURNING HAMMER! HE TRIED TO CONNECT WITH THE MOVE TOWARDS THE EARLY PORTION OF THIS MATCH! BUT, MIKU WAS ABLE TO DODGE THE MOVE! ARE WE GOING TO SEE CY CONNECT WITH ‘RISING TIDE!’
Deadprez: MIKU SAKAI MANAGES TO CLAW CY HENDERSON IN THE EYES AS HE DROPS HER! I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE BEST THING FOR MIKU TO DO IN THIS SITUATION! MIKU BEGINS TO ROLL HERSELF OUT OF THE RING AS SHE TRIES TO CATCH ANOTHER BREATHER! I THINK THAT MIKU HAS BEEN PLAYING A PRETTY SMART GAME THROUGHOUT THIS MATCH. WHAT DO YOU THINK, RAVEN?
Raven Roberts: I give her credit for that. But, I don’t condone her clawing Cy’s eyes. I felt like there were other ways to get out of her situation. Maybe, it’s just a me thing since I got some long limbs, but —
(Miku Sakai is looking at Raven Roberts at the announcer’s table. With that, we see that Raven is standing up as she matches Miku’s level of intense staring. The two women are silently saying stuff to each other, but the audio fails to pick it up. It just sounds like a bunch of audible sounds from Miku’s end.)
Raven Roberts: I’m not looking to start anything here. I’m just here to scout.
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) No one asked for your opinion, bitch. Just shut up and watch me win this match. No need to put this arena to sleep with your shitty voice.
Raven Roberts: What’s wrong, Miku? Can’t handle someone that sounds smarter than you talking?
(Miku Sakai rolls her eyes, clearly not amused with the situation as she looks to turn on her heels and get back inside the ring. She can’t be bothered to stand there and argue with Raven Roberts, knowing that she has a match that she needs to win. Before making her way back to the ring, she turns around to Raven.)
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU SAKAI GRABS THE WATER BOTTLE AND THROWS THE WATER AT RAVEN ROBERTS! NOW, THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR RAVEN TO TAKE OFF HER HEADSET AND BEGIN TO MAKE HER WAY TOWARDS MIKU! BUT, MIKU IS RUNNING AWAY! MIKU IS GOADING RAVEN OUT OF RINGSIDE!
(Another headset is being taken off as Chef Viz stands up as he stares down Cy Henderson, who looks more than ready to give a previous of what Chef Viz can expect at Grand Rampage. The two men begin to trash talking to each other. Viz sounds nothing more than his cheeky self. Cy looks a bit more serious. The camera pans to Raven Roberts and Miku Sakai who are near the ramp. Miku sees amusement in the entire situation. Raven doesn’t find anything funny whatsoever. These two feuds are giving the fans anticipation and more than ready for a complete brawl. At the same time, we see Cy Henderson and Chef Viz and Raven Roberts and Miku Sakai going at each other. Both feuds are trading punches with one another.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: IT’S SHEER PANDEMONIUM ALL AROUND US! RAVEN ROBERTS AND MIKU SAKAI ARE TRADING PUNCHES WITH EACH OTHER AS MIKU LOOKS TO BACK UP THE RAMP! BUT, RAVEN IS FOLLOWING HER UP THERE! MEANWHILE, WE SEE CY HENDERSON AND CHEF VIZ PROVIDING THE EAW UNIVERSE OF WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED AT GRAND RAMPAGE! A REMATCH THAT WE’VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE ALL SEASON! CHEF VIZ TACKLES CY TO HIS BACK AS HE LOOKS TO THROW SOME PUNCHES TO HIS CHALLENGER! BUT, CY SWITCHES POSITIONS WITH THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AS HE LOOKS TO THROW HIS OWN SET OF PUNCHES!
Deadprez: RAVEN ROBERTS MANAGES TO GET MIKU SAKAI BY ONE OF HER MESSED UP PIGTAILS AND THROWS HER AHEAD TO THE TOP OF THE STAGE! MIKU TRIES TO FIND HERSELF BACK ON HER FEET, BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO TAKE MIKU DOWN! SHE BEGINS TO THROW SOME PUNCHES TO THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! BUT, MIKU IS LOOKING TO CLAW THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION’S EYES! BOTH OF THESE WOMEN ARE LOOKING TO RIP EACH OTHER TO SHREDS! RAVEN IS GRABBING MIKU BY HER HAIR AND LOOKS TO THROW HER BACK, CREATING SOME ROOM FOR HER! BUT, MIKU CONNECTS WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS ON ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’ AS BOTH OF THEM ARE BACK AT IT!
Gavin Kirkland: CY HENDERSON MANAGES TO TAKE CHEF VIZ TO ONE OF THE CORNERS! CY GRABS CHEF VIZ BY THE NECK AS HE LOOKS TO THROW HIM ACROSS THE RING! BUT, CHEF VIZ ALSO GRABS CY BY THE NECK! BOTH OF THESE MEN ARE CHOKING THE LIVING HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER! BOTH WANT TO DISPLAY THEIR OWN STRENGTH! BUT, THE OTHER IS MAKING SURE THAT THEY STAND THEIR GROUND AND NOT GIVE THE OTHER THAT SATISFACTION!
Eve: Well, I think that we’re almost in overtime territory, guys. I’m getting the call to end this show! That’s all we have for this edition of Showdown! Signing off for Gavin Kirkland and Deadprez, I am Eve! Goodnight from Lincoln, Nebraska!
(The last scenes are of Cy Henderson and Chef Viz being broken up by security guards. Then, we have Raven Roberts and Miku Sakai who are already separated, but haven’t stopped yelling at each other as the scene fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
