(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of Showdown last week. Kennedy sends a message to the Showdown roster that they need to prepare for Territorial Invasion, with the Jaded Hearts interrupting and sending a threat to Kennedy because of her actions at Midsummer Massacre. Raeangel Guzman defeats Hardcore Luna for an opportunity at the Specialists Championship. Jaded Hearts come out once more bragging about their championship reign and how they can’t be so easily stopped, with both Usagi Senshi and Saori Aizen interrupting them and almost immediately going into a brawl with them. Sienna Jade defeats Nikki Kimura. Jon Kelton comes out, weighing on his loss at Midsummer Massacre and losing some hope when it comes to his journey to becoming World Champion before Bronson interrupts, giving him hope back and giving him advice to not lose that hope. TLA comes out, talking about his defense at Midsummer Massacre, and calling out SOSA for him trying to take his championship with the Contract, both SOSA and later Donovan come out, talking about who deserves the championship more with TLA just telling them that he can take them on at any place and any time too. Ruler defeats Luis de la Rosa. Mikaela has an interview with Miku Sakai, where she brags about her win at Midsummer Massacre with Aria interrupting and actually congratulating her, the two have a conversation and they end up agreeing to be friends and join forces after everything they went through, they are suddenly attacked by Auburn Ware but they overwhelm her with the number’s game and lay her out instead. Veena comes out once again bragging and willing to ask for more people to come out for defenses but Kennedy comes out instead, as due to her hard work, she offers her to be the Team Captain for Showdown’s Wargames Team, which Veena accepts. Harper Lee defeats Donovan Duke after some distraction from SOSA. Milli Banks comes out, slandering Harper and promising she would be Universal Women’s Champion for a while, she even says she wants someone to come out to challenge her but nobody comes out, she shrugs and then decides to leave to go to the back, where she sees Veena was watching her before she suddenly leaves. And in the main event, Bronson Daniels is able to defeat Cody Maverick, Ryan Wilson and Charlie Marr in a Fatal Four Way match, with Charlie attacking Bronson after the match to send a message.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators start talking.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!
Deadprez: WE ARE ROARING TO GO TOWARDS TERRITORIAL INVASION AS THE SHOWDOWN TEAMS ARE BEING PREPARED FOR BRAND WARFARE AND WARGAMES!
Eve: WE ALSO HAVE SOME EXCITING MATCHES TONIGHT FOR YOU! We have Elly Elle versus Hardcore Luna, Miku Sakai fights against Cody Maverick and Jon Kelton versus Luis de la Rosa!
Deadprez: Look at these last two matches though! The Universal Women’s Champion Milli Banks versus the 24/7 Contract Holder SOSA Henderson! AND THE MAIN EVENT, OH MAN! Harper Lee, Ryan Wilson, Roberto de la Rosa, Aria Lestrade, Nikki Kimura, Brianna Hill and Ruler! An all out Casino Battle Royale match for an Answers World Championship match at Territorial Invasion against TLA!
Gavin Kirkland: ENOUGH YAPPING, LET US START OFF WITH THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… MILLI BANKS! :blessed:
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne starts to play throughout the arena as the fans surprised that Milli Banks was coming out, stand up and cheer. She walks out with the Universal Women’s Championship after a successful defense at Midsummer Massacre, and tonight she faces SOSA Henderson. She does her little dance before heading to the ring.)
Deadprez: We are being graced by the presence of the Universal Women’s Champion right now! She obviously has a lot to say considering no one answered her challenge last week and she wants to defend the title at Territorial Invasion!
Eve: That is what she wants, and there are plenty of women in the company that wants the title she holds, so I doubt anyone is afraid of challenging her, but more that they need to weed everything out, I am sure there are woman chomping at the bit to get to Milli.
Gavin Kirkland: Maybe she will have better luck, with Territorial Invasion coming up, something needs to give.
(Milli gets to the ring, she is already in her ring gear for later tonight, as she has a mic in hand.)
Milli Banks: LAS VEGAS, NEVADA!? The Super Nova is here!
(The crowd explodes in cheers.)
Milli Banks: You know, last week… was not what I expected, with Reckless Wiring happening right now down the street, I look at some very strong women over there what would make a good challenge, even the former champion herself though she already stated that she was going on another path, I respect that, but if I recall? There was a long ass line of women that came out to interrupt me at the Draft Show, right?
(The fans in the arena continue to cheer as Milli nods, pacing the ring.)
Milli Banks: And yet, I basically had an open contract to come out here and face me for the Universal Women’s Championship at Territorial Invasion. No one came. So, I am out here one more time to ask for anyone to step up and come out here to challenge me. It can be Showdown, Voltage or Dynasty…. Come out here!
(Some time has passed and there is nothing.)
Milli Banks: I can go back there and loo –
(Suddenly Milli is cut off by “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande as the crowd gets on their feet and roar, giving out mixed reactions as Veena Adams slowly comes out wearing her National Elite Championship. The crowd continues to react.)
Deadprez: And look who is coming out here! We saw a match between these two weeks ago that ended in a no contest, and then last week a confrontation! We know that Veena Adams will be leading Team Showdown into the War Games, but it looks like she wants her shot at the Universal Women’s Championship!
Eve: It sure does seem that way as Veena only wants one thing, to be a World Champion!
Gavin Kirkland: A Babe Off! I love it!
(Milli Banks looks read as Veena Adams in her street clothes gets into the ring with a mic in hand and poses herself with the championship she carries. Milli continues to watch her as the theme dies down.)
Veena Adams: I know that you are probably wondering why I am here, well there is a reason, Veena deserves all of the attention, sorry.
(The crowd boos, some cheer as Milli rolls her eyes.)
Veena Adams: Now, I couldn’t help bus ne standing back there being the center of the Showdown universe back there, everyone looking at me, but I also looked at their faces to see how pathetic this was. Two weeks in a row looking for challengers and where are they? All those hacks came out during the Draft Show, but they are nowhere to be seen now, right? That is why I am here to save the day.
Milli Banks: Save the day? So, let me go ahead and save you the trouble Veena, since our match a few weeks ago there was no definitive winner, and our little run-in last week, it is pretty obvious what you want, a shot at the Universal Women’s Championship, so fine. Since it looks like you are busy at Territorial Invasion, you can have your shot anytime and anywhere, even if you want to pull double duty at Territorial Invasion!
(The crowd cheers as Veena just looks at her with a smile on her face, before walking right up to Milli.)
Veena Adams: A shot at the Universal Women’s Championship, huh?
Milli Banks: Yes.
Veena Adams: …. No.
(Milli Banks looks a bit confused as do the fans.)
Veena Adams: I mean, don’t get me wrong, I would love to take that title from you and I am sure I’ve already a earned a shot at it, but that is not why I am out here. It took me a very long time to get here, I’m sure I can wait a little longer. No… Milli…. I came out here for one reason, I mean besides show off my new Louis Vuitton Heela and purse and give these fans a chance to glare at my beauty.
Milli Banks: Okay… okay…. Get to the point Veena.
Veena Adams: Well… as we saw Kennedy Street knows who the one person is that will lead Showdown to victory at the War Games, and well, I can’t think of a better first member of my team than you Milli.
(The crowd erupts in cheers as even Milli Banks is a bit in shock. Veena tilts her head and smiles.)
Veena Adams: So like… what do you say!?
(It doesn’t take Milli very long to nod her head.)
Milli Banks: Okay…. You got it Veena. I will be part of Team Showdown War Games!
(The fans in Las Vegas erupts in cheers as Milli sticks her hand to shake Veena’s)
Veena Adams: Ewww…. No. Welcome to the team!
(Veena drops the mic and doesn’t shake her hands as “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande starts to play throughout the arena. Milli just stands there and smirks as Veena walks out of the ring and raises her championship, all smiles as she heads to the back, Milli look out to the fans who give her a standing ovation. )
Deadprez: HUGE NEWS AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE VEENA ADAMS AND MILLI BANKS SO FAR FOR THE SHOWDOWN TEAM WAR GAMES! VEENA IS WASTING NO TIME LOOKING TO FILL THE OTHER TWO SPOTS!
Eve: THIS IS GROUNDBREAKING, WE ALL THOUGHT VEENA WAS GOING TO COME OUT HERE FOR THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP! BUT INSTEAD, SHE ASKED MILLI BANKS TO BE HER PARTNER, TALK ABOUT A SURPRISE! I LIKE OUR CHANCES!
Gavin Kirkland: TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ARE BONDED TOGETHER!
(The fans continue to cheer as Veena heads to the back and Milli is still in the ring with a smile on her face as it fades to a commercial break.)
(As the commercial break returns, the camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… HARDCORRRRRRRRRRE LUNAAAAA!!!
(Hardcore Luna is seen already in the ring after the commercial break as Swallowing the Rabbit Whole by Code Orange hits!!!)
Gina Romano: And her opponent from Martinsburg, West Virginia… she is “The Appalachian Angel” ELLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYY ELLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Elly Elle makes her way down to the ring looking intense and no nonsense as she strikes fear into the heart of her opponent.)
Eve: Well Elly Elle is clearly not playing around and she is going right up to Hardcore Luna and she is badmouthing her!
Deadprez: Elly just shoved the face of Luna and this thing is underway the referee is not waiting any longer and calls for the bell!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: We are now underway as Hardcore Luna is getting all up into Elly Elle’s face disrespecting her and talking smack. But Elly is not going to take that and she headbutts Luna hard to start the match! We aren’t wasting any time here as Elly immediately lunges at Luna into the corner driving her hard into the turnbuckle with repeated Shoulder Thrusts! Elly is going in and Luna was clearly not ready and taken off guard as Elly continues to gore the hell out of her. Luna eventually collapses down in the corner as Elly begins to stomp a mudhole into her. Eventually the referee has to get involved to count Elly off Luna who finally gets a breather.
Deadprez: Hardcore Luna gets back up as she rushes in at Elly Elle… but Elly with a hard slap right to the face! Luna collapses to the ground from the sheer force of that slap. She most definitely had the shit slapped out of her. Luna collapses to the ground and rolls out of the ring looking to escape from Elly. Luna clearly wasn’t expecting this, she was looking to start with some chain wrestling but Elly is bringing that intensity! The referee is shown holding Elly back from getting out of the ring and going after Luna… but Elly shoves the referee aside and gets out of the ring! Elly better watch out she could lose this match by disqualification!
Eve: Elly Elle is chasing after Hardcore Luna who is retreating up the ramp, but Elly grabs her by the hair and yanks her backwards down the ramp! Elly yanks Luna down the ramp who rolls down the hill and she collapses back on the floor. Elly picks up Luna and slams her headfirst into the ring apron! The hardest part of the ring! Elly tosses Luna back into the ring and follows her in to beat the referee’s ten count. Luna falls backwards into the corner and is shown begging Elly for mercy. Luna is shaking her head and holding her hand out looking for a respectful handshake. But Elly is having none of that! She grabs her hand instead and yanks her in before throwing Luna backwards with a Belly to Belly Suplex! Luna falls back into the corner and eats several kicks from Elly who then grabs her by the arm and whips her across the ring. Luna grabs onto the ropes and throws herself out of the ring to escape once more!
Deadprez: Hardcore Luna does not seem to be putting on a very hardcore performance here tonight. The crowd is definitely starting to notice this and is chanting “Luna Sucks” at her mocking her poor performance. Luna is not taking kindly to this as she tells a fan at ringside to shut the hell up before getting back into the ring to continue the fight. Luna immediately grabbed by Elly Elle as soon as she gets back up onto the ring apron. Luna is snatched around the throat and tossed back into the ring with force! Luna flies across the ring smashing down onto the ring as Elly stalks towards her once again. Luna grabs at Elly but Elly kicks her hand away. Luna back up and takes a hard kick to the gut and repeated chops to the chest. Elly whips Luna across the ring and takes her down with a hard back chop to the chest1
Gavin Kirkland: Elly Elle is looking real fine as she pulls Hardcore Luna back up and connects with a Stalling Suplex in the middle of the ring! That Suplex lasted longer than I would with either of these two!
Eve: Yes Gavin because you are not a trained wrestler. I’m sure you meant in the ring yes?
Gavin Kirkland: Of course. Of course.
Deadprez: Elly Elle is beating the living hell out of Hardcore Luna as she gets on top of her and begins to unload straight right hands to the head! And it looks like a cut is beginning to open over the forehead of Luna! The referee is checking on Luna now to see if the match needs to end but Luna gets grabbed by Elly who connects with a hard knee to the gut and grabs her by the face slamming her hard foreward to the mat with a Skull Crushing Finale! Elly goes for a cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Eve: Almost three but Hardcore Luna kicked out! That might not have been a wise choice as it looks like it has only served to piss Elly Elle off! Elly with a Running Elbow Drop to Luna down on the mat before lifting Luna up and dropping her down hard with a Backbreaker. Elly then goes up to the top rope and leaps off dropping a hard knee right across the skull of Luna! And Luna looks like she is not even moving at this point as the cut on her forehead was only made worse by that high impact knee shot! Luna is grabbed by Elly and thrown out of the ring! Elly throws Luna headfirst into the corner pole outside the ring sending her sprawling across the floor. And look at the cut on Luna’s face at this point. The blood is just flowing and streaming down her face, and she is completely blinded by her own blood! Her face is completely covered, and Luna is in a real bad way now!
Deadprez: We might have to consider ending this match soon. Hardcore Luna is getting absolutely destroyed and it is starting to feel uncomfortable. Elly Elle is dragging Luna around ringside, and blood is getting everywhere. Luna gets her face smashed down into the ring steps leaving a big bloody mark where her head collided. Elly tosses Luna up onto the apron halfway into the ring with her head hanging back over. Luna runs along the apron and hits a Guillotine Leg Drop across the apron! And now Luna is lying on the floor coughing and heaving choking on her own blood! Officials are now trying to check on Luna, but Elly shoves them out of the way and tosses Luna back into the ring! Elly connects with a Standing Moonsault before going for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Gavin Kirkland: Come on what the-
Eve: Hardcore Luna did not kick out! But Elly Elle cancelled the pinfall and pulled Luna’s shoulder up! Elly with a shit-eating grin on her face now as she is just toying with Luna at this point. She could have ended the match there, but she is a demon and just wants to torment and torture her opposition. Come on Elly! Put her out of her misery!
Deadprez: But Elly Elle just grabbed Hardcore Luna and lifted her up over her head before dropping her down hard in the ring with a Tiger Driver! Luna just had her back shattered by that maneuver and she is desperately crawling away as she tries to wipe the blood away from her eyes so she can see. But all Luna ends up seeing is Elly standing over her! Elly grabs Luna and picks her up setting her upside down in the corner in a hanging position! And now Luna is getting kicked by Elly repeatedly just stomping away at her! Elly runs off the ropes and charges in with a Running Basement Dropkick to the skull! Elly then grabs Luna off the ropes upside down and connects with a Styles Clash in the ring! And we know it would be over if Elly would actually go for the pinfall!
Eve: But she’s not going for it! Elly Elle is not finished with Hardcore Luna just yet! Elly pulls Luna up and connects with the Smashing Faces!!! A Running Knee Smash right to the face of Luna who collapses in the ring! Elly then picks Luna up and drops her with the Flatliner. Come on ref! Call the match! Luna is going to be severely injured!
Deadprez: Another Flatliner! Hardcore Luna is going to suffer severe CTE at this rate! Elly Elle is smashing the back of Luna’s head repeatedly into the ring mat. Luna is not moving at all and now Elly is pulling Luna up… and connects with Suplex de La Luna!!! Elly now adding insult to injury as she just dropped Luna with her own finishing move! Elly is laughing clearly enjoying herself, and Luna has got to be severely injured! We need to get medical out here… Come on Elly that’s enough!
Eve: Elly Elle connects one more time with the Flatliner in the middle of the ring before going for the pinfall once again.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… ELLLLLLLLLLY ELLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!
(Swallowing the Rabbit Whole by Code Orange hits to heavy boos from the crowd.)
Eve: Well, that was a completely one sided match. If you can even call it that.
(Hardcore Luna is shown being loaded onto a stretcher and carried away from ringside.)
Deadprez: We saw the complete and total destruction of Hardcore Luna here tonight. I have to wonder if we will ever see her again in an EAW ring. She might be permanently injured but we will have to see what the doctors have to say.
(Elly Elle is shown leaving ringside and stops to tip over Hardcore Luna’s stretcher before leaving.)
Eve: Oh, come on! Haven’t you done enough?!?!
Gavin Kirkland: Elly Elle is scary. She is clearly a very dangerous woman in that ring! She just put the entire Showdown locker room on notice!
Deadprez: Can anyone stop Elly Elle?!?!?
(The camera cuts to a commercial for the Olympics featuring StarrStan.)
(The camera returns to the arena where there is a brief moment of silence. Moments later, the silence is broken by “I Rise” by Cory Marks being played throughout the arena. Seconds later, the crowd starts to go absolutely crazy with cheers when Mr. Cash in the Vault, Donovan Duke enters the arena. Donovan offers a smile to the crowd before raising his Cash in the Vault briefcase high in the air, which elicits a louder crowd response before he heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome to the ring at this time… HE IS MR. CASH IN THE VAULT! DONOVAN DUKE!
Deadprez: Listen to the ovation the crowd here in Las Vegas is giving this young man. Donovan Duke is heading to the ring and even though you see the smile on his face thanks to the warm welcome he always receives from the EAW crowd, you have to believe that things are certainly feeling less than smiles.
Gavin Kirkland: Since we are in Las Vegas, I’ll use a few Vegas related references to describe this situation he is in. Donovan Duke is an amazing competitor in the ring, but this kid is not playing with a full deck. He has a damn screw loose and this season is starting to turn out like last season. At this rate, I don’t feel confident that he’ll be successful.
Eve: You are such a jackass sometimes. I hope that Donovan hears you say the shit you do one day, and he just comes and just knocks your teeth out. Being down in the chips is something Donovan is used to, and he knows that he can easily turn it around.
Deadprez: True, but there has also been this rivalry that has been building with SOSA Henderson ever since the beginning of the season. Both men want the first crack at TLA as a cash in, but they have been screwing each other over ever since. It will be interesting to see what Donovan Duke has to say about what has happened thus far.
(Donovan walks over to the timekeeper’s area and grabs a microphone from Gina Romano before entering the ring. He listens to the crowd continue their cheers as his entrance music fades off. The crowd keeps cheering for a moment longer before quieting down to hear what Donovan has to say.)
Donovan Duke: HELLO LAS VEGAS!!
(The crowd started cheering again at the mention of Las Vegas, knowing that Donovan does have a history with Sin City. Donovan can’t help the smile that comes across his face.)
Donovan Duke: Oh yes! I have definitely made a few memories here and a whole bunch of money during my time in Las Vegas as a gambler, but I am not out here to reminisce about my past. I am here to talk about the present.
Donovan Duke: You see, after Pain for Pride, I felt like I was on top of the world. My big time match losing streak was over. I won the Cash in the Vault Briefcase and guaranteed that I was one match away from becoming World Champion.
Donovan Duke: Then I got drafted back to Showdown this season and I thought that since I felt like I was on top of the world, this season is going to be my best one yet.
Donovan Duke: Yeah… about that. Ever since I have arrived back on Showdown, I haven’t exactly seen the results that I have wanted, and I am not exactly happy about how things have gone so far this season for me.
Donovan Duke: I can thank SOSA Henderson for that. Now some of you might think that I should get some of the blame for all this happening, but all I did was issue a challenge to SOSA for a match in a battle of in ring superiority.
Donovan Duke: SOSA was the one who chose to blow things out of proportion because all he has done ever since he accepted the challenge for that match at Midsummer Massacre. I meant nothing malicious by it. I just wanted the thrill of competition.
Donovan Duke: But I guess he really meant it when he said that it was going to be my funeral. Of course with SOSA being Mr. 24/7, he wants the spotlight all to himself so he can prove that he’s the better contract holder.
Donovan Duke: To further prove his point, he has gone out of his way to stick his nose further into my business by screwing me out of victory after victory. First it was against Charlie Marr. Then he did again last week against Harper Lee.
Donovan Duke: Don’t even get me started about Midsummer Massacre. How SOSA reached the point of desperation that he was left with no choice but to use MY own briefcase against me and that’s the ONLY way that you were able to beat me. Yet, he didn’t appreciate me retaliating by bashing his brains in when he tried to cash in on TLA.
(A smirk appears on his face as he remembers what he did a few weeks ago.)
Donovan Duke: You know what, SOSA? If this is how you wanna play. If this is how you want things to go down, THEN FINE BY ME! You turned this battle into an ALL OUT FUCKING WAR!!
(The crowd goes wild for the declaration of war. The words that Donovan used certainly caught a few people by surprise.)
Eve: You certainly don’t hear that very often from someone like Donovan Duke.
Gavin Kirkland: He’s just throwing a temper tantrum because he’s losing again. Maybe he and Kelton should get together as a team. They are both choke artist losers.
Deadprez: You’re being an extra level asshole today, dawg.
(Donovan has stayed silent for a moment to soak in the crowd’s reaction to his declaration before he brings the microphone back up to continue speaking.)
Donovan Duke: You started all this shit, SOSA. But I am going to be the one that finishes it. You wanna keep screwing me out of matches week after week after week? That’s fine. Keep playing that game all you want. But just like how you keep showing up to screw me out of my matches….
Donovan Duke: I am going to return the favor and I am going to STOP you at any chance I get. Any time I damn well please, I am going to make sure you get screwed out of your crowning moment just like you keep screwing me out of victories. It didn’t have to be this way, SOSA. You brought this all upon YOURSELF!
(The crowd started cheering for the fire in Donovan’s voice. They know that he means business. Donovan goes to turn and leave the ring, but he stops in his tracks and turns back to face the crowd.)
Donovan Duke: Oh! One more thing. TLA! You are probably already aware of this, but the clock is ticking on your title reign. That warning also goes to whoever will be challenging TLA at Territorial Invasion. Or whoever else could be Answers World Champion this season whenever I feel like the time is right to cash in the Cash in the Vault because this cash in is going to be done… ON! MY! TERMS!
(Donovan drops the microphone with determination clear in his face as “I Rise” starts playing again as the crowd starts cheering loudly once again as Donovan exits the ring and heads up the entrance ramp.)
Deadprez: Well there you have it! I think it is safe to say that this rivalry between SOSA Henderson and Donovan Duke is just starting to heat up. This battle between the two contract holders of Elite Answers Wrestling is far from over.
Gavin Kirkland: If Donovan Duke thinks that he is going to be the first one to cash in on the Answers World Champion over the greatness that is SOSA Henderson, then somebody needs to come to Showdown and lock him up because he’s crazy. SOSA is a former World Champion and there is no chance in hell that Donovan will beat SOSA to the punch.
Eve: Don’t say things like that, Gavin. Because I hope that it comes back to bite you on the ass. Donovan has said more than once that he is crazy. He’s crazy to be the best in EAW and this business as a whole. If it means going to war with SOSA Henderson, then he will. Donovan’s ready to fight and I am excited to see the intensity that he is going to bring to this season.
Deadprez: Could we be looking at the future Answers World Champion here on Showdown? If Donovan plays his cards right, then we certainly will be. Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen. The battle of the Contract Holders is going to be interesting to say the least.
(The final shot shows Donovan standing at the top of the entrance ramp holding the Cash in the Vault briefcase high in the air with a smile on his face as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Backstage Charlie Marr is seen talking to known girlfriend, Veena Adams the National Elite Champion and the Captain of Showdown’s Team Warfare.)
Charlie Marr: There was no other choice but you.
Veena Adams: Well, we all know that I would have chosen you, but you told me not to.
Charlie Marr: I don’t want anyone to think you are playing favorites.
Veena Adams: Well, I am… so what?
Charlie Marr: Trust me, you did the right thing picking Milli Banks even if she doesn’t compare nowhere near you. As for me, I have plenty of options and most importantly, they know I am good for it. But let’s talk about you for a second and….
(Before Charlie Marr could finish his sentence, Alana Starr shows up, they both stop and turn to the beautiful Assistant General Manager.)
Alana Starr: Actually… let’s talk about you Charles.
Charlie Marr: Charles? Charlie.
Veena Adams: I mean… how rude! We are trying to have a very cute and emotional conversation here where he is about to butter me up with all of these beautiful complements and here you are trying to ruin them!
Charlie Marr: She’s right, so you better talk fast.
(Alana looks annoyed by this point, shaking her head.)
Alana Starr: Why does everyone have to be so gosh darn aggressive, I mean come on! Anyways, I came here to talk to you Charlie. Because of what happened last week in the Fatal Four-Way.
(Veena sighs, knowing that Charlie was about to get in trouble. His defenses were already up.)
Charlie Marr: So, let me guess, here you are about to slap me on the wrist with some fine for attacking Bronson Daniels for winning that match when it should have been me, okay fine, go right ahead, because far as I am concerned I would do it again.
Veena Adams: He totally will.
Alana Starr: Yes, I know he will, but I didn’t come here to slap you on the wrist.
Charlie Marr: Oh right, Not a slap on the wrist, but a big fine or a suspension I take it then. Go ahead Alana, you are looking at a man that just doesn’t care.
(Alana Starr just smirks, that is about all she can do, before turning back to Charlie and Veena, this time with a more serious look on her face.)
Alana Starr: Okay, enough, will you just pipe down for a second and listen to me!
(Charlie and Veena both have a laugh at Alana trying to be tough though she is an accomplished wrestler too in her time.)
Alana Starr: Okay…. Okay… real funny. Now let me go ahead and get down to business. Yes, you attacked Bronson last week after he won, but that showed me a lot, not that you’re a sore loser as many would interpret, but that you do not care about the result, and wanted to make a statement. So, because of that, Kennie has put me in charge in finding a Team Captain for Showdown’s Brand Warfare, and I couldn’t think of a better person, than you Charlie.
(Charlie just stood there a bit surprised and in shock. Veena smiled and was excited for him as both of them have been chosen as Captains for the Showdown teams.)
Alana Starr: Well?
Charlie Marr: Well…. Of course I am the only choice in this matter, or I accept.
Alana Starr: GOOD! I think you are the perfect Captain for Team Showdown Brand Warfare!
(The two of them shake hands as Alana leaves, he then turns to Veena who continues to be all smiles as it fades to ringside where Gina Romano is ready to call the next match.)
Gina Romano: THIS MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: …AND HAS A 15 MINUTE TIME LIMIT!
(‘STFU’ by Rina Sawayama plays as Miku Sakai makes her entrance, Miku heads straight to the ring with Aria following right behind her.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! ACCOMPANIED BY ARIA LESTRADE… FROM FUKUI, JAPAN!… WEIGHING IN AT 110 POUNDS!… MIKUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!… SAKAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(As Miku Sakai gets into her corner, the music fades and is replaced with ‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine & Benny the Butcher filling the arena! Cody Maverick came stomping out, making his way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent… From Las Vegas, Nevada… Weighing in at 235 pounds… He is the “Sin City Superstar”… CODYYYYYYYYYY MAVERIIIIIIIIIICK!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: The match is on its way, and Cody is coming out of the corner with explosive energy! Pushing Miku Sakai into the corner and whaling on her! Sakai is trying to get her hands up, but it doesn’t work! Miku has no choice but to slide out of the ring. Sakai is trying to catch her breath. If this is the energy that Cody is bringing out of the gate, then Maki will have a long night.
Eve: Cody seemingly not going after her, going to allow her to get back into the ring. Miku is taking her time and is not looking to return to the ring anytime soon. Wait, MAVERICK EXITS THE RING! Getting impatient, taking the fight to Miku on the outside, and throwing her back into the ring! Sakai tried to regroup, but Maverick quickly lifted her and slammed her to the ground! Once again, throwing down a flurry of punches! Sakai, however, can roll Maverick to his back and return punches of her own!
Deadprez: Cody throws her off, and Miku quickly retreats, stumbling to the ropes! Maverick marches to Miku- BUT IS CAUGHT WITH A BACK ELBOW! Managing to stagger the “Sin City Superstar,” going on the attack! Right hand by Miku, left hand by Maverick, back and forth striking! With a kick to the midsection, Miku followed up with more right hooks and more kicks to the stomach! Going for another- CODY CATCHES THE STRIKE! Going for a left hand, multiple left hands taking Miku back into the ropes! Using the ropes to Irish whip Miku!
Gavin Kirkland: She bounces into a spinning back elbow by Cody Maverick! Miku falls to her back, trying to get up. Maverick was already on the attack, hooking her head and slamming her down with a suplex! Grabbing her, lifting her onto the top rope! Maverick is following up with her and going for a superplex! Miku is striking her abdomen! Striking the side of Maverick’s body! Sakai used her strength to lift Cody and send him planting on his face! Finally, Miku is getting enough space to get some offense! Miku climbs up to the top rope, leaping off the ropes! Taking Maverick down with an ax handle!
Eve: Miku is stomping out Cody! Leaning against the ropes, stomping the body and neck of Cody! Sakai picked Cody up and leaned him against the ropes, NAILING HIM WITH A CHOP TO THE CHEST! Miku Irish whips Maverick- CODY REVERSING THE IRISH WHIP! Miku manages to duck a massive clothesline, Sakai bouncing off the ropes into Maverick’s arms! Hitting her with a gigantic power slam! Taking the wind out of her sails! Maverick, once again, did not let up on the assault and got up and tried to get her up with a suplex! WAIT- Aria at ringside, grabbing Miku’s foot and pulling her out of the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Helping Miku escape from harm, Cody looks furious, but Miku looks somewhat grateful. Able to escape the wrath of Maverick for just a little bit- BUT NOT FOR LONG! A dropkick from the MIDDLE ROPE! Pushing both Miku and Aria to the ground! Aria is just delaying the inevitable. Cody is back on the attack, grabbing Miku and carrying over to the steel steps! Slamming her face into the stairs! She is dragging her to the announcement table and banging her head into the table! Her head bounced off the table. She is going to feel that long after!
Eve: AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AND AGAIN! She felt it then; she is feeling it now! Cody slid into the ring and right back out, breaking the count. Going back to continue what he started- MIKU TRIPPING CODY UP! Maverick slammed down face-first on the table! Miku is getting a huge advantage, pulling Cody to the timekeepers’ nest! Slamming his face into the barricade repeatedly! Repeating that same intensity that Cody was showing her over here!
Deadprez: The official trying to tell them to get in the ring, Miku not taking too kindly to the official- doing their job. Miku getting into the ring and giving them a piece of her mind! I don’t know what her problem is. They are just doing what they are told- BUT LOOK AT ARIA! Going on the attack, slamming Cody’s head against the barricade, ultimately knocking him out! Was the planned? Did Miku plan for this to happen? The official did not even notice Aria’s assistance. Either way, this match will continue with Miku at a considerable advantage now!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku sprinted towards Cody, looking for a big move- BUT MAVERICK WAKING UP JUST IN TIME TO LIFT HER AND OVER! Slamming into the timekeeper’s nest! We have seen the resilience of Maverick. We talk about how much that has carried him in his career and how much it has been a problem for his opponents! Maverick grabbed Miku and threw her back into the ring! Maverick is getting back into the ring- BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A CHOP TO THE NECK! Maverick stumbles into the corner, and Miku manages to get back into the match! Kicking Cody in the chest! Chopping him down with kicks, sending him down to the ground!
Eve: Miku pressing her foot onto her neck! The official is starting to count, but Sakai isn’t letting go! The official went to four, but Miku wasn’t letting up the official, who had no choice but to separate Miku! Sakai does not seem to like such hands-on officiating. She is pushing back against the referee, arguing with them! She should keep her eyes on her opponent; one rest could allow Cody to do so.- OH! Giant clothesline, taking down Miku! Sakai crawls to the corner, but she isn’t safe! Maverick is starting to stomp out Sakai!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick has a bit of self-control, letting Miku catch her breath, but not for too long! Grabbing Miku and wrapping his arm around her waist! Maverick slowly gets up to his feet, keeping hold of Miku, forcing her up to her feet as he goes for a GERMAN SUPLEX- BUT MIKU MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET! Maverick is caught off guard as Miku comes from behind and lands a GERMAN SUPLEX OF HER OWN! Miku lies on the mat afterward, clearly exhausted after finally landing on Maverick, slamming the Sin City Superstar back and neck first onto the canvas!
Eve: She seems to have still her strength, able to lift Cody Maverick entirely off the mat! However, she knows that isn’t enough to knock off Maverick. She gets back to her feet, waiting for Maverick to get back to his feet. Calling him up, Maverick tries to get up, but he doesn’t know where he is right now…Miku jumps up, hitting a Frankensteiner! Cody Maverick’s head is spiked to the ground! Miku is going for a pinfall! Will the first one in this match be the last?
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Deadprez: Cody reverses it into a roll-up of his own!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Deadprez: Miku kicks out! Popping up and kicking Cody in the chest! Knocking him down to the mat! She does a moonsault! Dropping both her knees on the abdomen of Cody Maverick. Miku is throwing everything she can at the Sin City Superstar! She might’ve thought she had enough to put Cody Maverick away! He is much more resilient than Miku might’ve thought. But that doesn’t discourage Miku — locking the head and lifting him with the DOUBLE-UNDERHOOK SUPLEX! Miku is tossing him like a pillow; she wants to keep him down as long and as much as possible. She might not go through a brick wall but can chip away from it until it breaks.
Gavin Kirkland: You’re right! Miku isn’t looking for a pin attempt but is looking to try to submit him! Locking in that “Juji Gatame”! A vicious cross armbar to rip his arm out of his socket! I don’t know how smart it is for Miku to go for a submission, especially seeing how Cody Maverick has shown to be a lot more durable than many competitors she has fought. However, she is tugging hard on Maverick’s arm! Either he taps, or the referee stops the match because of a broken arm.
Eve: Cody Maverick doesn’t allow either of those to happen! Twisting his body, getting on his hands and knees, trying to break the hold! But Miku still has a grip on his arm! She isn’t letting up! Switching to an “Ude Gatame,” still applying pressure to that arm! Miku continued to wear down his arm. If she can get it to where he can’t use it properly, that would be a massive relief for her. No stunner, a much less striking power. Miku is always thinking a step ahead, but you can’t account for Cody Maverick’s strength, Maverick slowly lifting Miku! She’s going to have to break the hold one way or another
Gavin Kirkland: I think Miku is way too stubborn to do that, switching the position of her leg and locking in another variation — “Manji Gatame.” She isn’t going to stop until that arm doesn’t work anymore. I don’t know how long Cody can hold on; she has more submission holds than some top technicians! Who knows, maybe the moment she lets go, she has another one in her arsenal. Cody looks like he is fading…he might want to tap out! Could we see the end of Cody Maverick’s near-unstoppable momentum?!
Eve: Cody Maverick is stumbling, moving left and right. He might not even know where he is right now! This could be the end of the match…Maverick falls back down to one knee. If Cody passes out, this will add to Miku Sakai’s stock. That might be what we are looking at. Maki Sakai is keeping that hold tight! Maverick isn’t going anywhere, anytime…wait…WAIT! Cody Maverick is picking himself up to his feet- SLAMMING HIMSELF BACKWARDS! BREAK THE HOLD AND BREAK MAKI SAKAI IN THE PROCESS! THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR IS BACK!
Deadprez: It’s about time he finally used his massive weight to get ahead! Cody Maverick is free, and he looks furious. Running the ropes, he’s about to do way more damage to Miku- SENTON ONTO THE MIKU SAKAI! MAVERICK GOES FOR THE PIN!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE-
…
Deadprez: Miku kicks out, but after Cody crushes Miku with his entire weight, I don’t think Miku is in any condition to fight back. Most certainly not in 100%; this could be Cody’s time to put her down for good. Maverick picked up Miku, seemingly yelling at her! He would ensure that Sakai didn’t disrespect and show him proper respect. He is gripping her by the hair and TOSSING HER OUT OF THE RING ONCE AGAIN! Miku Sakai tumbled to the floor, hitting the ground hard. Owen’s got some sinister intent continuing to eye Miku Sakai!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick grabs Sakai, looking to inflict more damage on his opponent- BUT ONCE AGAIN, ARIA STEPS IN THE MIDDLE! She has been inserting herself in this match since the beginning! Cody is trying to get past Aria, but Aria is just talking his ear off! Maverick finally pushes past Aria towards Miku- ONLY TO GET POKED IN THE EYE!
Eve: Miku once again getting the advantage due to ARIA! Miku is now shoving Maverick into the steel post! Knocking him to the floor! Aria looks proud of herself, but the official who finally had enough of Lestrade! Finally, I am making the call to EJECT HER FROM RINGSIDE! It’s about time they made this call; without the two-on-one disadvantage, Maverick may have a chance to win this match without someone trying to inject themselves into the game. Miku doesn’t seem bothered by it; she got as much use from Aria as she needed! Grabbing Maverick and throwing him back into the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: She looks at Cody, ensuring he doesn’t move. She catches her balance, about to leap from the top rope! Maverick getting on his hands and knees- A STOMP TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! Miku goes for the pin!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE–
…
Gavin Kirkland: Miku picking Cody up- MAVERICK POPPING UP! Striking Miku in the face with an elbow! Miku looks taken back! Her eyes widened, realizing that the strike just left her nose busted open. Miku is throwing an elbow of her own! Managing to knock Cody back a little! Maverick exchanged a strike, making her stumble back into the ropes! She steps forward, not backing down! She threw another elbow strike to Cody Maverick!
Eve: AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! Maverick tries to stay upright, but Miku’s strikes are as stiff as a brick wall! Miku bounces off the ropes and bolts toward Cody- BUT GETS KNOCKING DOWN WITH A “LIGHTS OUT” SUPERMAN PUNCH! Now Cody Maverick has a chance to take this match home. He is tucking her head between his legs! He is lifting her for a Package piledriver! A drop like this has ended the careers of many men! Cody Maverick NAILS HER! Right into a pinfall!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE!!!
…
Deadprez: MIKU KICKING OUT! Miku isn’t a slouch! She isn’t weak; she also has an unbreakable resilience! We are getting close to the time limit here, and Cody still hasn’t hit the strongest move in his arsenal. He still has the perfect opportunity to do so, but he needs to do it fast! Stomping on the back of Miku pine! Putting her back down! Miku Sakai is not in a good spot, and it looks like it will worsen! Cody Maverick is getting Sakai to her feet! A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION GOING FOR THE SIN CITY STUNNER-
Gavin Kirkland: NO WAIT! Miku Sakai grabbing the leg of Maverick! Pushing it down and hitting Cody with the “CUCK KILLER” OUT OF NOWHERE! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN! This is an awful position to be caught in! Miku doesn’t have much time left; she could win, but she needs to hurry! Crawling on the mat, slowly making her way towards Maverick…getting her arm draped around the chest of Cody! That could be it!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE!!!
…
Eve: CODY MAVERICK MANAGING TO GET HIS SHOULDERS UP JUST IN TIME! But all that did was cost them both the win!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: AS A RESULT OF REACHING THE TIME LIMIT, THIS MATCH…IS A DRAW!
Gavin Kirkland: As exciting as this match was! I am extremely disappointed about the result of this match up. I mean come on, they were bringing each other to their limits and yet, none of them gets the satisfaction of a win tonight!
Eve: Well, that is one way of thinking about it, I think you should also realize that we have a chance to possibly see them again in the future! I know they won’t be satisfied with this either and will go at each other ten times harder if given the chance!
(The scene ends with Miku Sakai rolling out of the ring, stumbling towards the announce table – Cody Maverick leaned against the corner, glaring at Miku Sakai. These two knew that their encounter was far from over…)
(The scene transitions to inside La Familia’s locker room where Luis De La Rosa and Brianna Hill are seen inside preparing for their respective matches while Diego and Javier are helping around before Roberto De La Rosa is shown walking in with Raeangel Guzman and Esmeralda with his arm around her as he starts speaking to the rest of La Familia.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Mi familia mia, I know that Midsummer Massacre did not go well for us, but you already know how we all handle losses no? We take them on the chin, and we continue pushing forward! I mean if we are being honest with ourselves, Midsummer Massacre wasn’t all that bad; after all we gained a new member in our personal jewelry here, Raeangel Guzman! It’s great to have you be part of our family and best believe you will have our full support if you ever need it…
(Raeangel Guzman is seen nodding alongside Roberto De La Rosa as Brianna Hill continues to listen in on the conversation while Luis De La Rosa starts preparing for his match against Jon Kelton as Roberto continues on.)
Roberto De La Rosa: See, you Raeangel are more than just our newfound jewel; you’re a personal project of mine as well just like Luis and Bri are personal projects on what the future CAN be here in EAW when a group of elitists who are more than just a group but an actual family go out there to make a name for ourselves! Don’t worry Raeangel, with La Familia by your side you’ll be able to take full advantage of all the shots that come your way. You’ve got a solid idea on what it takes to get your name known by the people pero con La Familia y yo como tu guia, but with La Familia and me as your guide you’ll become a staple of not just Saturday Night Showdown but EAW as well! This right here is a group of people capable of leading the masses to a better tomorrow and a brighter future because we are willing to do the necessary to get the job done no matter how many obstacles are put in our way! Raeangel and Luis may have taken a loss to some of the worst elitist we have ever had to deal with, but that was a minor setback while both those idiots are showing the world that they truly are the biggest perdedores, losers in all of EAW by continuing to brag like a couple of sore winners. That’s their biggest win in a lifetime while you Raeangel and Luisito? You guys have lengthy careers filled with bigger wins than they could ever imagine because while those two focus on el pasado, the past… You both are focusing on the now and the future as well! That’s why tonight nuestro propio Luis will take on that inútil Jon Kelton and show him that Saturday Night Showdown belongs to La Familia now!
Luis De La Rosa: I won’t let you guys down. I’ll show that hijo de puta who runs this show here tonight! Maybe after we show everyone who runs Showdown EAW can bring me back mi amor querido….
(Brianna Hill pats Luis De La Rosa in the back as the rest of La Familia nod in approval of most things Luis said as Roberto continues to speak.)
Roberto De La Rosa: You’ve got the right idea hermano mío and we will be one step closer to making that into our reality when Bri and myself compete in the main event Casino Battle Royale tonight and bring the victory to all of La Familia! It doesn’t matter if Bri picks up the win for us or if I come out victorious because only one thing matters tonight; A victory for ALL of La Familia by any means necessary! Bri, we all in La Familia believe that you have what it takes to prove all the doubters wrong, and I wouldn’t want to take that away from you entiendes hermana? If you have to eliminate me to show the world that we truly do mean what we say when we say we want a better tomorrow go ahead and do it. I want what is the best for not just your career, but the careers of everyone in this family because the success of one of us means the success of all of us and that right there is a promise mi querida! Though I will make sure that if you’re able to do that for yourself those same idiots won’t say that I handed you that in a silver platter; we both want the opportunity to become a world champion here in EAW so best believe that come tonight I won’t be going easy on you and I hope you won’t be going in easy in me as well if we do have to fight each other. I want your absolute best me entiendes hermana, you understand me?
(Roberto places one of his hands on the shoulder of Brianna Hill as she looks back up at him before speaking up.)
Brianna Hill: Don’t worry hermano… I fully understand what this all means for us… We will do whatever we need to get rid of the undesirables in this match and make sure that La Familia walks out with the win no matter if it’s you or me. We already told those losers in this match that this match will be ours and that friendly competition is welcomed between us all so best believe that if the situation comes where it’s between both of us I will go all out to show my worth in our family. We will make sure La Familia walks out with the win and we are one step closer in not just showing all of Saturday Night Showdown that we are the absolute best to take over and show them what the future has to offer but what this could mean for our familia as well. Let’s go out there and show them that we truly do mean business!
(Roberto chuckles a bit as he pats Brianna Hill’s back as he looks at everyone in their locker room before speaking up.”)
Roberto De La Rosa: That’s what I like to hear hermana… Let’s show everyone what it means to be part of La Familia and make them believe in our vision Together we are unstoppable and best believe mi familia that Saturday Night Showdown will soon be all ours just like Voltage was because while these idiotas still try to deny just how revolutionary we truly have been since our inception! Luis… Let’s show what exactly La Familia is all about with your match up next as for you Brianna and Raeangel… Let’s show these people that when you’re part of our familia it means that you all are one step closer to achieving greatness because as a familia we are unstoppable! Let’s go out there and show the world that nuestro legado, our legacy will forever be cemented in EAW history okay!
(Robert puts his hand in the middle of everyone in the room as everyone else puts their hand in the middle as well as they throw their hands up into the ones position as they all start getting ready for Luis’ match. They all head out before Roberto stays back a bit with Raeangel Guzman.)
Roberto De La Rosa: You’ve got a bright future hermana… Best believe as long as you have the best interest for La Familia, we will ALL have the best interest for you. Let’s go out there and show them that we mean REAL business around here okay?
(Raeangel nods her head as Roberto and Raeangel follow the group from behind before the scene fades to elsewhere.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing with a microphone as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Unfuckwittable’ by Kid Cudi starts playing as Jon Kelton enters the arena to cheers from the crowd. He is ready for action and to get back on track as he heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his way to the ring! Residing in Austin, Texas! Weighing in at 210 pounds. Here is “THE LAST HOPE” JON KELTON!
Deadprez: Here comes Jon Kelton as he heads to the ring for singles action, and he wasn’t feeling a little rough on himself last week.
Gavin Kirkland: He should because all he’s done this season is LOSE! That’s nothing new. Like at Midsummer Massacre.
Eve: Oh, shut up. Like Bronson Daniels said, Kelton might not have won the match, but he earned the respect of the fans and Bronson himself. Tonight, could be the night he gets on track with a victory. Hopefully he doesn’t overlook his opponent because it could mean a very long night for Kelton.
(Kelton enters the ring and takes his corner as his music is replaced by “PA’ ROMPERLA” by Bad Bunny and Don Omar starts playing as Luis De La Rosa enters the arena to boos from the crowd. The boos get even louder as Luis isn’t coming alone. Behind him is the rest of La Familia. They look at each other and nod before heading to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! Being accompanied by and representing LA FAMILIA! Residing in Miami, Florida as well as Cancun, Mexico! Weighing 170 pounds! Here is LUIS DE! LA! ROSA!
Gavin Kirkland: Why do people hate La Familia so much? Look at them coming to the ring to support Luis for his match. Especially with Roberto and Brianna competing later tonight. La Familia is on the rise again!
Eve: Midsummer Massacre was rough for La Familia and then Luis had a defeat against Ruler last week in a hard fought match. Will tonight be the night for Luis?
Deadprez: After earlier tonight, La Familia looks to have regrouped and Luis winning this match could go a long way. But Luis has to face Kelton. Can Luis pull off the upset? We’re about to find out.
(Luis enters the ring with a very conceited demeanor and takes his corner while La Familia takes their place at ringside as Luis’ music fades off. The referee checks both competitors before they call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: This match is underway and here we go! Kelton is ready to lock up, BUT LUIS IS BACKING UP INTO THE ROPES! Wow. What a shock that Luis isn’t ready yet. But the referee is right there to back Kelton up.
Deadprez: Roberto is up on the apron and causing a distraction AS KELTON GOES TO TAKE A SWING AT ROBERTO, BUT ROBERTO JUMPS OFF THE APRON–
Gavin Kirkland: LUIS CLOBBERS KELTON FROM BEHIND! La Familia is working together for the greater cause. Look at Luis in control already in this match.
Deadprez: Luis putting the boots to Kelton BEFORE HE TAKES ANOTHER CHEAP SHOT BY STEPPING RIGHT ON KELTON’S HAND!
Eve: Luis is feeling pretty proud of himself after watching Kelton hold his hand in pain after he stepped right on. I wouldn’t be shocked if his hand is broken right now.
Gavin Kirkland: Luis grabs Kelton and brings him back to his feet AND TAKING HIM UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! Luis floats over AND STARTS POUNDING ON KELTON’S SKULL WITH THOSE RIGHT HANDS!
Eve: Luis is doing a good job blocking most of the punches as the referee is there telling him to open the fists. Naturally, Luis isn’t listening, and the referee has no choice but to start a count.
Deadprez: Luis is choosing to ignore the referee until they reach four and miraculously Luis opens up the fist. Luis is getting in the referee’s face and the referee is warning Luis to not start any of that shit early.
Gavin Kirkland: When did these referee’s start to get attitudes. They really need to learn their place, or La Familia will make sure they will be sleeping with the fishes.
Eve: That will remain to be seen, but Luis is in control at the moment as he tries to deliver a boot to the face, BUT KELTON CATCHES IT!
Deadprez: That might be a huge mistake for Luis as Kelton is back to his feet. Luis is hopping on one leg as he begs for forgiveness, BUT NONE WILL BE FOUND AS KELTON PULLS HIM IN AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Poor Luis got launched halfway across the ring as Kelton is stalking his way back to Luis WHO SMARTLY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! Luis is now regrouping with the help of La Familia.
Deadprez: The referee is backing Kelton off and away from the ropes and Luis has that egotistical grin on his face as he tells Kelton he’ll get back into the ring whenever HE is ready. The crowd is really letting Luis hear it with the boos.
Eve: For the love of gawd! This coming from the guy who just twenty seconds ago was begging for forgiveness. It’s sickening if you ask me. BUT LOOK AT KELTON!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE’S DOING! He got a breakaway from the referee and now Kelton is on the apron BEFORE HE JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE AND FLIES TO THE FLOOR–
Eve: SPRINGBOARD ASAI STYLE MOONSAULT DOESN’T JUST TAKE DOWN LUIS BUT ALL OF LA FAMILIA! LISTEN TO THIS CROWD GO ABSOLUTELY NUTS! Esmeralda was the only smart one of the bunch as she got out of the way in time.
Deadprez: Kelton is back to his feet as he grabs Luis by his greasy hair AND SMASHES HIS FACE INTO RING APRON BEFORE ROLLING HIM BACK INTO THE RING! Luis is slowly getting back to his feet–
Gavin Kirkland: ROBERTO DE LA ROSA FROM BEHIND SENDING KELTON RIBS FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE RING! BAHAHAHA! LA FAMILIA IS WORKING LIKE THE MOST COHESIVE UNIT EVER!
Eve: Bunch of back fighting cheaters. Luis had the referee distracted while Roberto did the sneak attack and rolls Kelton back into the ring. Kelton is glaring at Roberto and telling him off AS LUIS HITS A DROPKICK SENDING KELTON BOUNCING INTO THE ROPES! AGAIN, FROM BEHIND! WHAT A SURPRISE!
Deadprez: Kelton is down AND LUIS HITS THE STANDING MOONSAULT! PICTURE PERFECT AS LUIS HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER! IS LA FAMILIA GOING TO HELP LUIS STEAL THIS?
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOO–
Gavin Kirkland: HOW THE HELL DID KELTON KICK OUT? THAT REFEREE WAS COUNTING WAY TOO SLOW! THE REFEREE IS PLAYING FAVORITES!
Deadprez: Gavin. Luis only got a one count on Kelton. Why are you so up in arms about that? No disrespect to Luis, but it wasn’t even close.
Eve: Yeah, Gavin. So shut the hell up and call this match with us. As we get back to the match, Luis has hold of Kelton and whips him to the corner. Kelton lands hard in the turnbuckles BEFORE LUIS FOLLOWS UP WITH A CLOTHESLINE ACROSS THE THROAT!
Gavin Kirkland: You guys talk so badly about La Familia and their underhanded tactics that you guys forget that they are world class competitors and that includes Luis. Look at him taking it to a former National Elite Champion.
Eve: I will give him credit right now that he isn’t being as big of a pain in the ass like he normally is. Luis is now standing on the second rope, and he starts the infamous corner punches.
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGH! NI–
Deadprez: WHY DID HE STOP? Luis had Kelton right where he wanted him before he decides to crow to the crowd and exclaim that he is the best. That is a horrible rookie mistake.
Gavin Kirkland: Why is that horrible? There is nothing wrong with being extra confident in a match where you are feeling good about yourself.
Eve: It’s wrong because he just Kelton way too much time to recover as Kelton uses his power to pull Luis away from the corner AND PLANT HIM WITH A POWERBOMB!
Deadprez: THAT’S NOT IT! Kelton still has hold of Luis AS HE LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR AND PLANTS LUIS WITH ANOTHER POWERBOMB! LUIS COULD BE ON DREAM STREET RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOO! Kelton still has hold of Luis and lifts him back in the air again. I know what he is going for and ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE–
Deadprez: BUT KELTON PLANTS LUIS WITH ANOTHER POWERBOMB AND FINISHING THE POWERBOMB TRIFECTA! Luis is not even moving right now as Kelton stacks up Luis for a cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE—
Eve: LUIS MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT TWO! Hell, I will give Luis credit for kicking out right there. Guess the kid has more fight than we give him credit for.
Gavin Kirkland: Told you. We might actually have something to thank Persephone for, but I won’t do it. Come on, Luis! You can win this match.
Eve: Kelton has control of the match as he brings Luis to his feet AND SOMEHOW LUIS MANAGES TO GET FREE WITH A MODIFIED JAWBREAKER! Not bad for the rookie as Luis hits the ropes to build momentum–
Deadprez: HE RUNS RIGHT INTO A WAITING KELTON WHO DROPS HIM WITH A RING SHAKING SPINEBUSTER! LUIS’ NECK SNAPS BACK ON IMPACT! Now Jon drags Luis over to the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton is choosing to climb up to the top rope. Now he is just choosing to show off. I hate people who have to act like they are better than everybody else.
Eve: You certainly would know, but he is waiting for Luis to get back to his feet AND WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON NOW?
Deadprez: ROBERTO IS ON THE APRON! Roberto trying to knock Kelton off the top turnbuckle, BUT KELTON WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE SENDS ROBERTO OFF THE APRON AND HERE COMES BRIANNA TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING–
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON KICKS HER IN THE FACE AS WELL! DON’T TREAT A LADY LIKE BRIANNA LIKE THAT! But it might have paid off anyways as Luis is back to his feet AND HE RUNS INTO THE TOP ROPE!
Deadprez: Luis shook the top rope enough to get Kelton off balance AND KELTON WITH A HORRIBLE LANDING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! No doubt that does NOT feel good for Kelton right now.
Eve: Kelton didn’t sprain his ankles, but he might have sprained something else as Luis is making his way to the top turnbuckle. Luis finds his balance AS HE LEAPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE–
Gavin Kirkland: HE CAUGHT KELTON AND TAKES HIM OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A SUPER FRANKENSTEINER! BEAUTIFUL MOVE BY LUIS! Luis doesn’t waste a second as he grabs Kelton and muscles him onto his shoulders.
Eve: Some nice power being shown by the youngest member of La Familia AS HE RUNS TOWARDS THE CORNER AND LAUNCHES KELTON INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE WITH THE “CHOQUE DE ESQUINA”!
Deadprez: The Lawn Dart sends Kelton face first into the turnbuckle. Kelton is trying to get his bearings as Luis comes up from behind AND STACKS HIM UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: LUIS HAS THE ROPES! SMART RING AWARENESS AND HE IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT KELTON DOESN’T KICK OUT! GET HIM LUIS!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
Eve: KELTON IS ABLE TO KICK OUT AT TWO AND LUIS CAN’T BELIEVE IT! Luis thought he had the match won using the ropes for leverage, but it didn’t work. Kelton kicked out and this match continues.
Deadprez: Luis is not happy as he starts just pounding the crap out of Kelton before he can get back to his feet. Luis grabs hold of Kelton’s head AND TAKES HIM UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Luis manages to float over and he is just throwing those left and right punches as the referee is once again admonishing Luis about the closed fists. Luis gives the referee a much deserved condescending look–
Deadprez: BEFORE HE SLAPS KELTON IN THE FACE! WHAT A SHOW OF DISRESPECT! Luis goes to try and punch Kelton again–
Eve: KELTON CAUGHT THE FIST AND HE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY! KELTON DIDN’T LIKE THAT SLAP AS HE MUSCLES LUIS OFF OF HIM AND GETS BACK TO HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: But give it to Luis for not backing away from Kelton. Luis is yelling right in Kelton’s face BEFORE LUIS JUST SLAPS HIM AGAIN! I LOVE IT!
Eve: You might, but Luis might have just made the biggest mistake of his life as KELTON GRABS HIM BY THE ARM AND PULLS HIM INTO A MODIFIED SIDEWALK SLAM! BY THE LOOK ON KELTON’S FACE, HE IS DONE PLAYING AROUND!
Deadprez: Kelton is ready to go to work and show why he is one of the best on Showdown. Luis is getting back to his feet AND HE IS QUICKLY TURNED AROUND BY KELTON WHO TAKES HIM UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX OF HIS OWN!
Gavin Kirkland: How can this be fair? Explain that to me!
Eve: Because turnabout is fair play and Kelton is ready to finish this match once and for all as he pulls Luis back to his feet once again BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP IN THE AIR AND DROPPING HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Luis goes head over heels and manages to pull himself out onto the apron for a breather, BUT KELTON ISN’T GOING TO GIVE HIM THE CHANCE AS HE GOES TO GRAB LUIS–
Gavin Kirkland: LUIS GRABS KELTON’S ARM AND TURNS IT INTO AN ARMBAR DRAPED OVER THE TOP ROPE! WHAT A SMART MOVE BY LUIS AS HE WRENCHES ON THE ARM AND PUTS IT IN A HORRIBLE TORQUE!
Deadprez: It might be good, but it is also an illegal hold, so the referee is telling Luis to let the armbar go before they start a count.
Eve: The referee’s count is up to four BUT KELTON SHOWING AMAZING POWER BY LIFTING LUIS UP AND BRINGING HIM BACK IN THE RING! Kelton manages to grab hold of Luis’ head and Luis is not in a good position right now!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton walks Luis over to the center of the ring BEFORE DROPPING LUIS WITH THE SITOUT BRAINBUSTER! OH, MY GAWD! POOR LUIS WAS DROPPED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! Somebody needs to check on Luis to see if he’s conscious.
Eve: Will you stop acting like such a La Familia simp? We can see that Luis is moving after the brainbuster. Kelton thinks that it was enough as he rolls Luis over for the cover–
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL IS LA FAMILIA DOING NOW? BRIANNA HILL! BRIANNA HILL IS ON THE APRON AND SHE IS DISTRACTING THE REFEREE AND PREVENTING A COUNT TO BE STARTED!
Gavin Kirkland: Aww how heartbreaking for Kelton. Once again a force that is stronger than him is preventing him from getting a possible victory. I wonder if Kelton will ever get tired of that happening.
Eve: You can be such an asshole sometimes, but can you hear the crowd? Kelton has had the cover for at least a seven or eight count. This match should be over, but Brianna Hill has stopped that.
Deadprez: Kelton now looks over to see that Brianna has the referee distracted and lets the cover go to go over to Brianna AND HE IS READING HER THE RIOT ACT!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s acting like a big baby because she is trying to help her La Familia AND BRIANNA HILL DESERVINGLY TAKES A SWING AT KELTON–
Eve: KELTON DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY! Kelton grabs hold of Brianna AND SENDS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! BRIANNA GOES TUMBLING OFF THE APRON AND HERE COMES ROBERTO!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto is going to make him pay for treating Brianna like that, BUT KELTON DUCKS THE RIGHT HAND FROM ROBERTO–
Deadprez: AND FINALLY, KELTON STRIKES ROBERTO AND THROWS HIM OFF THE APRON AND ROBERTO HITS THE FLOOR!
Eve: All of La Familia has been taken out of the equation sans Esmeralda as she is checking on the fallen Roberto and Brianna. Kelton has taken care of all the possible interferences in the match, and he goes back to a still not moving Luis!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton tries to bring Luis back to his feet, BUT LA FAMILIA’S DISTRACTION MIGHT HAVE PAID OFF ANYWAYS! IT GAVE LUIS PLENTY OF TIME TO RECOVER AND IT SHOWS AS LUIS PULLS KELTON OVER AND ROLLS HIM UP! INSIDE CRADLE FOR THE WIN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Eve: KELTON BARELY KICKS OUT AT TWO! Luis was very close to stealing the match right there thanks to the distraction from La Familia, but it didn’t work.
Deadprez: Both competitors are back to their feet as Kelton hits the ropes. Kelton ducks the Luis clothesline and hits the ropes on the other side. Luis tries to turn around quickly enough–
Gavin Kirkland: TO RUN INTO “FINAL ATONEMENT” BY JON KELTON! WHAT A SPEAR! HE ALMOST CUT LUIS DE LA ROSA IN HALF! LA FAMILIA IS DOWN! LUIS IS DOWN AND HE MIGHT BE OUT AS KELTON GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Unfuckwittable’ starts playing again as Jon rolls off of Luis as Kelton takes a brief moment to catch his breath as Gina Romano announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… JON KELTON!
Deadprez: What a great match we just witnessed. I know a lot of people were expecting a one sided squash down, but it wasn’t. It was a pretty competitive matchup.
Eve: While the result was what we expected. Luis managed to use his skills and his resources in this match to really give Jon a run for his money.
(Kelton is back on his feet as the referee is right there to raise his arm in victory. La Familia are still down on the outside as Kelton takes one last look at the fallen Luis before he exits the ring and walks up the entrance ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: I hope Kelton is proud of himself for what he did to La Familia. What disrespect. That match was all Luis, but I guess Kelton can be happy he won. It rarely happens for him.
Eve: Will you shut up? Luis did put up a good fight and even though Luis tried to use La Familia as a shortcut, it just wasn’t enough tonight.
Deadprez: Luis fought hard, but in the end, it was Jon Kelton who will leave victorious. Congrats once again to Kelton on the win here on Showdown.
(The final shot shows Kelton soaking in and celebrating his victory at the top of the entrance ramp before cutting to Luis, who is now sitting in the ring being checked on by La Familia who have entered the ring. All of La Familia look pissed off as the camera cuts to a commercial break.)
(Showdown came back from commercials and it faded towards the ring, as out of nowhere, ‘Bad Blood’ by Taylor Swift & Kendrick Lamar started playing on the speakers and the crowd started cheering loudly towards the woman that was coming out. Auburn walked forward towards the entrance ramp with a bright smile on her face, but there was a tint of seriousness on it as she spun around and waved hello towards the crowd, moving forward the ramp as the song continued playing.)
Gavin Kirkland: AUBURN, MY LOVEEEE! PLEASE LOOK TOWARDS MEEEEE!
Eve: Ignoring Gavin’s shouting yet again, here we have Auburn Ware making her way down to the ring seemingly with a lot of things in her mind after what has happened the past few weeks, she was sadly unable to achieve victory when it came to getting that title opportunity at Midsummer Massacre and last week she ended up attacking Miku Sakai over it!
Deadprez: A very emotional reaction that you usually do not see Auburn take when it comes to the people around her, but hopefully we get some information when it comes to that right now!
(Auburn moved over to jump onto the ring apron and go through the ropes, spinning over again and taking in the cheers of the crowd before her music died down and her expression got fully serious.)
Auburn Ware: Thanks again for all of the support that you give me guys, I truly appreciate it in every single way, but I think all of you understand right now why I ended up doing what I did the last week, and there is no way I was going to stand to the side and let that kind of injustice go because truly, I want to say that I deserve the win more of the Midsummer Massacre match, I genuinely worked as hard as I could to be able to achieve that opportunity, it was even my first match at getting an actual title opportunity for the first time in my career, I was genuinely ready to be able to take that next step in my career and suddenly, I was prevented from achieving that due to outside forces out of my control, and by what I mean by that is something that truly did not land on my shoulders when it came to the nitty gritty, when it came to what it truly mattered, and that I would have won that match if it was not for Miku Sakai doing what she did, taking the win that I deserved away from me!
Auburn Ware: And yes, I know that everyone is used to this kind of thing when it comes to EAW, and how there have been so many different times of this same incident happening to so many other people but I am not going to let this pass me away so easily and just expect there to be no consequences, guess you could say I have gotten the full EAW experience if you think about it in a not so funny way. I was cheated by Miku in her win when she grabbed me like that and she threw me out the ring when I was going to pin Hardcore Luna and achieve that, I should have been the one with a championship match in the future, and now I am going to deal with two less than pleasant people to be able to reach that, huh? It seems that Miku ended up finding a friend in Aria somewhat, birds flock together as they say, some more beautiful than others, but you know what? I am willing to take on the both of them at anytime and anywhere-
(‘STFU’ by Rina Sawayama started playing on the speakers and both Miku and Aria walked out together, the two of them being incredibly confident in their walks as they were clearly not bothered by anything that Auburn said, the two of them wearing their ring gear due to their matches tonight, and they were even matching in colors as well with them. It seems their friendship started off well, and despite the crowd booing heavily, they did not bother to listen to them.)
Gavin Kirkland: …wait, a team up of Aria and Miku? Oh my god- WAIT NO, I CAN’T BETRAY MY AUBURN! WHAT DO I DO??? :mjcry:
Deadprez: I think you could actually do your job, just a thought!
Gavin Kirkland: I am! I am commentating!
Deadprez: Sigh.
Eve: Honestly, a very interesting development when it comes to these two, but they were able to find a lot of coincidences when it came to their own journey in EAW, and it seems the two of them were good with being friends, in my opinion, something very pretty if you think about it but knowing the attitude out of the two, it might not be pretty in any way for the rest of the people to have the two of them.
(Miku’s theme slowly died down as Aria quickly slid closer to her and started speaking on her microphone.)
Aria Lestrade: Hey, bestie.
Miku Sakai: Yes, bestie?
Aria Lestrade: I think we now have to deal with a crybaby in our hands!
Miku Sakai: Yes, such a bother, you want to know what we could say to people like that?
Aria Lestrade: I think I know what you are thinking!
Miku and Aria: SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Miku Sakai: You have been an annoying insect ever since you attacked me and my new bestie last week because of… that? Because of me winning a match like that? I am not sure you ended up hearing the rules of how a Fatal Five way goes because let us be honest, you probably got your head dropped all around the world with how much your parents cared more about exploring it then taking care of you, and as far as I know, when it comes to a match like that, as soon as you just pin or submit one of the people… you already win! Finito! You get the win! It is not fucking rocket science at all! And then you try and tell me that you got… cheated out??? Even though I have actually wrestled in that match with the proper rules set in place? What else do you want me to say about that? You are just complaining about nothing at all in any way. I think you are basically jealous by this point on how talented and accomplished I am when it comes to being here in EAW.
Aria Lestrade: Yeah, gotta say, green does not look good on you in any way, Auburn. Because you know what? I should be the one who should supposedly be angry and annoyed about how close I was to winning that match and stopping Miku from winning but no, I did not let it get to me in any way and I gave congratulations to her, and from there, we were able to become friends and find the way to be stronger together! While you let the bitterness of losing a match fair and square get to you and attack the both of us without ANY ACTUAL REASON, and without any provocation on our part, and all of you want to boo us?
(The crowd boos louder as Aria clicks her tongue and shakes her head.)
Aria Lestrade: Such fickle, truly I cannot get it. But whatever you try to do us, you cannot deny the fact that my new bestie is the one who has the championship opportunity at the end, and she is going to go and finally win a championship to her name while you are going to be forced to deal with your own failure until you eventually disappear from our lives. Bummer.
Auburn Ware: If the two of you are so sure on that, then I want you to prove to me you can back up those words! Come fight me!
(Miku and Aria took a bit to think about it before they turned towards each other.)
Aria Lestrade: We beat her ass?
Miku Sakai: We beat her ass.
(They quickly threw their microphones away and they went down the ramp as fast as they could. They surrounded the ring from both sides, jumping onto the ring apron and looking directly towards Auburn in the middle as she stood there with a serious expression.)
Eve: MIKU AND ARIA GO THROUGH THE ROPES AND TRY TO ATTACK AUBURN-
Deadprez: AUBURN THOUGH TURNED BACK AND SLIDE OUT OF THE RING AS MIKU AND ARIA ARE TOO SLOW TO GET HER!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT YES! MY PRECIOUS AUBURN RUSHES OVER TO GRAB ONE OF THE STEEL CHAIRS IN THE RINGSIDE!
Eve: MIKU IS ABLE TO SLIDE OUT FIRST AND SHE TRIES TO HIT AUBURN-
Deadprez: AUBURN BELTS THE STEEL CHAIR RIGHT ACROSS MIKU’S CHEST AS SHE SCREAMS FROM THE PAIN! ARIA TRIES TO GO BEHIND AUBURN AND TURN HER AROUND-
Eve: BUT AUBURN ENDS UP THRUSTING THE CHAIR DIRECTLY INTO ARIA’S GUT AND SHE SLAMS THE CHAIR ON HER BACK AS WELL!
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOO! AUBURN GOES FOR ANOTHER ONE ON ARIA-
Deadprez: BUT MIKU GRABS ARIA’S ARM AND PULLS HER AWAY FROM IT, AS THEY GO ON A TACTICAL RETREAT WHILE AUBURN SWINGS LIKE A MAD WOMAN!
(Auburn ends up rolling inside of the ring and raises the chair up in victory, with ‘Bad Blood’ playing on the speakers yet again, she celebrates the ring while Aria and Miku back away on the ramp, they check on each other before they turn towards Auburn in the ring, showing annoyance and anger in their expressions as Showdown fades away on that last scene.)
(Showdown slowly came back from commercials and this time it focused on a man making his way down the hallways and towards one of the locker rooms. It was none other than Cody Maverick himself making his way after having a hellacious fight against Miku Sakai, he grabbed onto his neck, moving it around a bit and trying to get it loose after getting slammed down like that. He was able to arrive towards the locker room and then quickly grabbed one of the towels that were on the table to put it around his neck.)
(He used it to take off the sweat that he built upon from fighting all the way in that match, and as he got ready to go and hit the showers. He suddenly stopped in his path when he saw someone suddenly leaning against the wall and looking towards him. Charlie Marr.)
(Cody immediately got into a fighting stance ready to fight Charlie on before suddenly, Charlie put his hands up in a peaceful signal.)
Charlie Marr: Hey, calm down. I am only here to talk.
(Cody stops as Charlie ends up saying that, he slowly relaxes and crosses his arms as he speaks up.)
Cody Maverick: Were you there the whole time?
Charlie Marr: Yeah, I was just waiting menacingly for hours for you to arrive- of course fucking not, I just arrived. I wanted to talk with you directly, man to man. No bullshit put in the middle because I am not here to fight in any way.
Cody Maverick: You usually don’t expect that with someone like you.
Charlie Marr: Sometimes you have to break out of the norm, even though this is not one of the tactics I usually do.
Cody Maverick: Just tell me what the hell do you want.
(Charlie got a lot closer, moving over and pointing directly towards Cody’s chest before pulling his hand back.)
Charlie Marr: You are not enough of a bad wrestler as I thought you were.
Cody Maverick: …am I supposed to take that as a compliment?
Charlie Marr: You should be, I don’t usually just throw those compliments willy-nilly, only Veena gets them free so for the rest of you, that should be weight in gold having praise from one of the greats to have ever stepped foot in that ring. As a Hall of Famer with such a big career, there should be respect given to my name and it should be an honor that I am giving respect back.
(Cody’s expression grows more disgusted as he keeps hearing the words and shakes his head.)
Cody Maverick: Can you get to the point?
Charlie Marr: I am getting there, slow the hell down. Anyway, as I have said since the start of the beginning, me and Veena have a vision when it comes to the brand that we are standing upon, we had that a few seasons ago but sadly, we were stopped in our tracks and had other problems come up preventing us from achieving that, but this season, we have arrived more prepared than ever, hell, we have arrived even stronger than before, and it is clear that Kennedy ends up seeing that on us as well due to the fact that she ended up picking Veena as a captain for the Wargames Match and I have been picked to for the Captain of the Brand Warfare team.
Cody Maverick: Oh brother…
Charlie Marr: No, no, let me finish! It is clear by this point what I am going to ask you and knowing the man that you are from like, the mere minutes that I have talked about you, you are not the kind of man that is going to easily accept this kind of choice, but do let me tell you, I ended up being the Captain of Team Voltage in that exact same match, two years ago, and you know what ended up happening? Me and the rest of my team were the ones who ended up winning the match and we got the sweet rewards from it. Think about it, as well. I can give you the confidence of experience from my part and knowing who Kennedy is about, she is clearly going to end up giving a reward to all of us if we win her the match, especially knowing that Showdown has been a complete loser in Territorial Invasion for years on end by this point.
Cody Maverick: And let me guess, hearing about your whole speech when it came to making your vision about this brand, you probably want to win that match as well so you stand in good ground with Kennedy and you have a better chance at achieving that.
(Charlie simply stayed silent and shrugged his shoulders as Cody ended up saying that, not telling him anything at all as he continued to speak up.)
Charlie Marr: Sadly, that is none of your business if I am completely honest with you. But if you continue to let me finish that whole speech up, the reason that I ended up going to here and speak towards you is your performance from last week when it came to the Fatal Four Way match, believe me, I have talked a lot of shit, A LOOOOOOOOOTTTT of shit, but I am a businessman at the end of the day and I think this could work for the both of us at the end of the day. My task has been to go out there and put together the best team I can make heading into the event, I already have my eyes on four Elitists in particular and you, Cody, you are one of them. I don’t like you, but you impress me enough to be my first choice for the Brand Warfare Team. So come on, what do you say?
(Charlie ends up raising his arm and he presents a hand towards Cody. Cody stands there in silence for a moment, thinking about it before he ends up moving his own hand and he accepts the hand, the two doing a quick handshake, but before Charlie can pull back, Cody holds it.)
Cody Maverick: I will do it, but if you try anything funny after Territorial Invasion to end up achieving your objective and it involves me, I will not be afraid of striking you down from your crumbling pillar.
Charlie Marr: Yeah whatever, just let go already.
(Cody finally lets go of the handshake and Charlie steps back. He turns his back around and he is ready to leave before he stops for a moment and speaks up.)
Charlie Marr: Remember, I am the Captain!
Cody Maverick: Yeah, yeah, whatever.
(Cody throws back what Charlie said at him as Charlie simply ignores it and then heads out of the locker room without looking back. Cody lets out a sigh wondering if it was a good decision to take that offer but he knows well that it is going to end up helping him a lot in the future if he is able to succeed as it fades to ringside and Gina Romano.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… The following Singles Match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne plays. The hip-hop track spurs many within the crowd to rise out of their feet. A certain electricity is in the air; an unmistakable excitement hangs over the arena. Blue and gold lights flash along with the beat of the tune. After much anticipation, the song enters the first verse by Nicki Minaj, and with her spitting comes the emergence of Milli Banks. She struts her way onto the upper stage to a large ovation while wearing her EAW Women’s Universal Championship around her waist. With a smile as wide as her ambitions, she bops along to her theme and raps along to the lyrics. She does a little dance before posing before the masses. The fans go wild.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Brooklyn, New York… Weighing in at 135 pounds… She is The EAW Women’s Universal Champion… she is ‘The Supernova’, MIIIIIIIIIIIIILLIIIIIIIIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKSS!!!
(As Milli Banks makes her way inside the ring her theme song is replaced by ‘Faneto’ by Chief Keef as its heard throughout the arena. The fans start to boo loudly. The reaction gets even louder when SOSA Henderson is seen coming out as he makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent… From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania… Weighing in at 191 pounds… He is The 24/7 Contract Holder… “BULLETPROOF”… SOSAAAAAAAAAAAA HENDERSOOOOOOOOOON!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Deadprez: That’s the sound of the bell as both Milli Banks and SOSA Henderson slowly go and meet each other in the middle of the ring as both go for a collar-and-elbow lock up! Both elitists try to get the advantage early on mustering all their strength and skill, but neither of them are willing to budge as they both let go before looking at each other and they start to trade blows back and forth!
Eve: Milli Banks and SOSA Henderson now going blow for blow as Milli Banks throws a stiff elbow at SOSA while SOSA Henderson gets back at Milli with a stiff elbow of his own! MILLI! SOSA! MILLI! SOSA! MILLI! SOSA NOW WITH THE LAST ELBOW THAT SENDS MILLI TOWARDS THE ROPES AS SHE REBOUNDS BUT IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS SOSA BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES! SOSA clearly still has all his energy and is able to use the ropes to rebound a bit as he connects with a vicious Superkick that sends Milli Banks back first onto the ring mat!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOO NOT POOKIE!!! GET UUUUPPP MILLI! GET UUUUP! OUCH! SOSA Henderson adding insult to injury with a Double Foot Stomp on the grounded Milli Banks as Mr. 24/7 “BULLETPROOF” SOSA Henderson starts to climb to the top rope looking for some daredevil action as he takes a dive and JUMPING FOOT STOMP FROM THE TOP ROPE! SOSA is able to roll through back on his feet as he sees his attacks on Milli’s abdomen have worked so far that he starts yelling for her to get up! Milli slowly gets back up on her feet, but SOSA is more than ready as he looks to put her into a Lumbar Check…
Deadprez: Milli is able to slip away at the last minute as she quickly turns SOSA around as she hits a Pele Kick on that brother! That’s my girl right there, but that Pele Kick only left SOSA dazed as Milli is looking to put him down on the mat as she starts to run the ropes on the opposite end using the momentum to land a NASTY Dropkick that puts SOSA down! Milli gets back up immediately right after with a Kip-Up as she’s not done just yet… Looks like she’s looking for “Bank Roll” as the Insult to Injury knees connect! A little payback of her own, I like it, I like it, I like it! Not wasting any time now, Milli starts to head to the top rope, takes a second to adjust herself, and she goes for a DIVING MOONSAULT!
Eve: NOT SO FAST! Milli went for a Feint Diving Moonsault trying to trick SOSA Henderson as she’s looking to go for the Standing Variation of her Moonsault, but it seems SOSA Henderson was more than prepared for this as he rolls up Milli Banks from behind! The referee now checks for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOO-!!!
Eve: A kick out before the two count as both elitist quickly get back up, SOSA not fazed at all quickly goes for a Bicycle Knee that leaves Milli Banks dazed, he flips her around, and sets her up for a Lumbar Check that does connect this time! It seems we are in for a generational match here tonight with how hard both these talented elitists are going as SOSA Henderson throws Milli Banks out of the ring as he’s looking for something high risk here tonight…
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA is running the ropes while the ever so beautiful Milli Banks is close to us trying to pick herself up… I should help her up, but I don’t want to get hit with whatever SOSA Henderson is looking for as Milli Banks turns around to SOSA Henderson trying to land an Over The Top Rope Moonsault Plancha!!! SOSA HENDERSON LA- MILLI BANKS IS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO SOSA HENDERSON AS SHE QUICKLY POSITIONS HIM FOR A ROLLING FIREMAN’S CARRY ON THE OUTSIDE MAT!!! Milli now gets up on the apron not letting this opportunity go away as she goes for a Moonsault that lands flawlessly from the outer side of the ring apron!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Deadprez: They are out here hoppin tonight and we love to see these two GOATS go at it on this level! Milli Banks ain’t looking to waste anytime though as she quickly throws in SOSA Henderson back into the ring as she heads to the top rope looking to land another Moonsault onto SOSA, she lands on her feet going for the Feint Diving Moonsault into a Standing Moonsault! Ouuuu what a beauty that was right there y’all, but I don’t think she’s done just yet as she slowly starts to pick up SOSA Henderson before going for another European Uppercut that sends SOSA Henderson towards the ropes!
Eve: SOSA Henderson being able to rebound off that European Uppercut as he uses that momentum to hit Milli Banks with a Bicycle Knee that sends HER stumbling towards the ropes, but SOSA Henderson quickly with another Bicycle Knee that sends Milli Banks over the top rope as SOSA starts to run the ropes while Milli Banks tries to regain herself on the outside! She’s picking herself back up with help from the ring barricade and best believe that Milli is trying to continue her reign as EAW Universal Women’s Champion with the dominance she’s shown so far! Milli Banks gets back up as she turns around and is met with an Over The Top Rope Moonsault Plancha as SOSA Henderson finally connects!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA back on his feet as he lets the boos of the fans soak in before he slowly starts to pick up Milli Banks, tries to Irish Whip her into the turnbuckle on the outside, but Milli Banks flips the script like the queen that she is and reverses SOSA’s Irish Whip into one of hers driving SOSA’s shoulder right on the metal turnbuckle! OUCH! Milli from behind quickly throws in SOSA Henderson back into the ring as Milli Banks follows from behind quickly going for a Backspring Roundhouse Kick that leaves SOSA dazed! Milli starts to head to the top rope again as she wastes no time diving up connecting with a Diving Hurricanrana, but SOSA able to land on his feet as both elitist look at each other before running towards each other and taking themselves out at the same time with a running lariat!
(Both Milli Banks and SOSA Henderson are down on the mat as the bird’s eye view camera shows the ring from above before quickly transitioning to the entrance ramp as Donovan Duke is seen making his way to the ring with a steel chair in his hand. He places the chair down and sits down as he starts to watch the match while clapping alongside the fans for both SOSA and Milli to get back up.)
Eve: An interesting development here tonight as Donovan Duke has come out to get a front row seat to the action as both Milli Banks and SOSA Henderson are slowly making their way to the ropes as both use them to pick themselves back up! Milli and SOSA now quickly meet in the middle of the ring as they once again go for a collar-and-elbow lock up, but this time SOSA Henderson is able to play tricks on Milli Banks as he takes a side step that causes Milli to drop her guard! SOSA picks her up and drives her back first into the corner! Taking a few steps back now as SOSA runs towards Milli Banks as he connects with a Single Leg Dropkick, but Milli Banks is still not going down on the mat! SOSA starts to put her up on the top rope as he slowly climbs up as well… Oh no SOSA may be looking for… A TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER THAT CONNECTS! SLOWLY NOW SOSA GOES FOR THE COVER ON MILLI BANKS!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TH-!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GORGEOUS QUEEN KICKS OUT AT TWO!!! That was a devastating Brainbuster from the top rope, but if anyone can kick out of a vicious move like that we all know Milli Banks can! SOSA isn’t sweating it though as he expected a match against the EAW Universal Women’s Champion wouldn’t be that easy. Getting up from a kneeling position, SOSA grabs Milli Banks from the head as he looks to set her up for a Back Suplex… Milli Banks though able to flip herself out of it landing behind SOSA Henderson before she grabs SOSA Henderson from the back of his head and goes for a Springboard Assisted Bulldog that plants SOSA down onto the mat! Milli is trying to add some extra sauce now with “Bank Roll” as the Insult To Injury knees connect! She rolls back up, grabs SOSA Henderson from behind with his arm, picks him up onto his feet, turns him around to SLAP him right in the face, and continues to connect with a Knee Strike into a Poisoned Frankensteiner! MILLI CONNECTS WITH “MONEY MOVES” AS SOSA’S HEAD IS SPIKED ONTO THE MAT! SHE CLOCKED HIS TEA AND SHE GOES FOR THE COVER NOW!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEE-!!!
Deadprez: A kick out before the three as they match continues on! Also, who the hell taught you that lingo Gavin?!? Lord have mercy on me… Milli Banks though looks like she wants to seal this match up for good as she starts heading towards the turnbuckle and starts climbing to the top rope. If she’s able to land what I think she wants to go for, this match might be over… Milli now diving off the top rope going for “MILLI-ON-AIR” AS THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONN-
Eve: SOSA HENDERSON PULLS HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY WITH HELP FROM THE BOTTOM ROPE AS MILLI BANKS FALLS FACE FIRST INTO THE RING MAT! Both elitists slowly getting back up, SOSA is up before Milli as he starts to yell for her to get up, Milli Banks now back on her feet a bit groggy as she tries to take SOSA down from the outside part of the ring apron, but SOSA uses this to his advantage as he connects with a Slingshot Flatliner with help from the ropes! Donovan Duke gives off a sarcastic clap from the six lines, but SOSA isn’t wasting any time now as he once again targets the abdomen in the match going for another Double Foot Stomp before he rolls through and starts to climb to the top rope! It’s daredevil time for SOSA Henderson as he points towards Donovan Duke telling him to “watch this!” as SOSA goes for a “SOSA BOMB” THAT CONNECTS! SOSA NOW GOING FOR THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEE-!!!
Gavin Kirkland: “The Supernova” Milli Banks able to kick out before the three count! Both these elitists are giving it their all tonight, but we can only have one winner as SOSA Henderson’s looking to put Milli Banks down for good as he’s looking to set her up for… “PAID IN FULL” AS SOSA GOES FOR THE FIRST CURB STOMP… MILLI THOUGH ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY LAST MINUTE AS SOSA IS LEFT THERE FEELING A BIT OF THE IMPACT ON HIS LEG! Milli Banks uses this to her advantage as she runs towards SOSA and connects with a Sling Blade and adds a little bit of spice to it with a Dropkick afterwards! She’s not finished just yet with SOSA though as she slowly picks him back up on his feet and connects with a Double Knee Facebreaker! SOSA stumbles back but keeps himself up with help from the ropes… Not a good position for him though as Milli Banks runs towards his direction and hits a beautiful “Diamond Dust” as that rope Tiger Feint Style Cutter drops SOSA right down on the floor! Milli Banks quickly now goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEE-!!!
Deadprez: Still not enough to take down The 24/7 Contract Holder, SOSA Henderson especially when you’ve got Donovan Duke out there watching this match very closely, but Milli Banks ain’t someone who’s going to give up easily either. She slowly starts to pick up SOSA Henderson while getting back up on her feet as well, Milli Banks now trying to connect with “Bankrupt”, but SOSA Henderson using his strength to keep Milli Banks from fully connecting as he send her laughing into the turnbuckle with a Lawn Dart throw! SOSA has a very cocky smirk on his face as he continues to eye down Donovan Duke with each successful move he does, almost letting Donovan Duke know that he’s unfazed by his presence…
Eve: Some may see it differently because focusing on someone who’s not even in the match while your opponent is still giving you a good fight in retaliation could set you up for defeat… Though, SOSA Henderson’s currently on the offense as he picks Milli Banks from the floor from her head, slams her onto the turnbuckle, takes a few steps back, and connects with her another Single Dropkick while Milli stays put on the corner turnbuckle… SOSA gets back up and approaches Milli, but Milli Banks is more than ready as she pushes SOSA off her as both start trading blows back and forth switching each other out of that corner! MILLI WITH A VICIOUS ELBOW TO SOSA BEFORE PUTTING HIM ONTO THE CORNER AND UNLEASHING A BARRAGE OF PUNCHES ONTO SOSA! SOSA THOUGH BLOCKS A FEW BEFORE THROWING A STIFF RIGHT HOOK TO MILLI! SOSA NOW HAS HER ON THE CORNER AS HE STARTS TO HIT HER WITH ELBOW AFTER ELBOW AFTER ELBOW!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MILLIIIII GET UUUUUP!!! GET UUUUUP!!! It looks like SOSA Henderson was able to knock her out cold as she’s not been able to try to block or move out of this attack… No, no, no this ASSAULT case!!! Don’t worry Milli I’ll make sure SOSA Henderson pays for what he’s done here tonight… but after he leaves the ring of course as SOSA Henderson is looking like he’s setting up a big move here as he starts to pick Milli Banks up and place her at the very top while he starts to slowly climb up as well. SOSA makes it to the top as he tries to reposition Milli Banks, but SOSA starts to look down at Donovan Duke who’s still just watching the match as SOSA starts going off on Donovan Duke…
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) Watch how to be an actual winner here ight lil’ bro?
Deadprez: SOSA Henderson now with his attention back on Milli Banks as he tries to set her up for a Top Rope Brainbuster, but focusing on Donovan Duke instead of getting the job done was a grave mistake as Milli Banks is able to maneuver her way into CONNECTING WITH “BANKRUPT” FROM THE TOP ROPE!!! MILLI NOW GOES FOR THE COVER!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner by pinfall… She is… “THE SUPERNOVA”… MILLIIIIIIIII BANKS!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT! I KNEW MY BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS QUEEN WOULD PICK UP THE WIN HERE TONIGHT WHILE LOOKING AS AMAZING AS EVER!!! Can we get the pyro going?!?
(As Milli Banks heads out of the ring to grab her EAW Women’s Universal Championship and walks past Donovan Duke, Donovan stands up as he heads inside the ring and starts to beat down on SOSA Henderson.)
Deadprez: OH BROTHER THE ACTION IS SPILLING OUT AFTER THE BELL AS DONOVAN DUKE IS JUST GOING AT THE DOWNED SOSA HENDERSO! THIS THING BETWEEN BOTH MEN HAS GOTTEN EVEN MORE PERSONAL AS DONOVAN DUKE PICKS UP SOSA HENDERSON AND HITS HIM WITH “ROYAL FLUSH” AS HE LAYS OUT SOSA HENDERSON!!!
Eve: Wow… I suppose these two are on a mission to be the only elitists standing that can possibly cash in on TLA it seems. Donovan Duke stands tall tonight as he looks at the downed SOSA Henderson before going for a couple more punches before getting out of the ring and walking backstage…
(The scene shows Donovan Duke heading to the back while SOSA Henderson is shown in the middle of the ring laid out as the screen blacks out to elsewhere.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… The following Singles Match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne plays. The hip-hop track spurs many within the crowd to rise out of their feet. A certain electricity is in the air; an unmistakable excitement hangs over the arena. Blue and gold lights flash along with the beat of the tune. After much anticipation, the song enters the first verse by Nicki Minaj, and with her spitting comes the emergence of Milli Banks. She struts her way onto the upper stage to a large ovation while wearing her EAW Women’s Universal Championship around her waist. With a smile as wide as her ambitions, she bops along to her theme and raps along to the lyrics. She does a little dance before posing before the masses. The fans go wild.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Brooklyn, New York… Weighing in at 135 pounds… She is The EAW Women’s Universal Champion… she is ‘The Supernova’, MIIIIIIIIIIIIILLIIIIIIIIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKSS!!!
(As Milli Banks makes her way inside the ring her theme song is replaced by ‘Faneto’ by Chief Keef as its heard throughout the arena. The fans start to boo loudly. The reaction gets even louder when SOSA Henderson is seen coming out as he makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent… From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania… Weighing in at 191 pounds… He is The 24/7 Contract Holder… “BULLETPROOF”… SOSAAAAAAAAAAAA HENDERSOOOOOOOOOON!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Deadprez: That’s the sound of the bell as both Milli Banks and SOSA Henderson slowly go and meet each other in the middle of the ring as both go for a collar-and-elbow lock up! Both elitists try to get the advantage early on mustering all their strength and skill, but neither of them are willing to budge as they both let go before looking at each other and they start to trade blows back and forth!
Eve: Milli Banks and SOSA Henderson now going blow for blow as Milli Banks throws a stiff elbow at SOSA while SOSA Henderson gets back at Milli with a stiff elbow of his own! MILLI! SOSA! MILLI! SOSA! MILLI! SOSA NOW WITH THE LAST ELBOW THAT SENDS MILLI TOWARDS THE ROPES AS SHE REBOUNDS BUT IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS SOSA BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES! SOSA clearly still has all his energy and is able to use the ropes to rebound a bit as he connects with a vicious Superkick that sends Milli Banks back first onto the ring mat!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOO NOT POOKIE!!! GET UUUUPPP MILLI! GET UUUUP! OUCH! SOSA Henderson adding insult to injury with a Double Foot Stomp on the grounded Milli Banks as Mr. 24/7 “BULLETPROOF” SOSA Henderson starts to climb to the top rope looking for some daredevil action as he takes a dive and JUMPING FOOT STOMP FROM THE TOP ROPE! SOSA is able to roll through back on his feet as he sees his attacks on Milli’s abdomen have worked so far that he starts yelling for her to get up! Milli slowly gets back up on her feet, but SOSA is more than ready as he looks to put her into a Lumbar Check…
Deadprez: Milli is able to slip away at the last minute as she quickly turns SOSA around as she hits a Pele Kick on that brother! That’s my girl right there, but that Pele Kick only left SOSA dazed as Milli is looking to put him down on the mat as she starts to run the ropes on the opposite end using the momentum to land a NASTY Dropkick that puts SOSA down! Milli gets back up immediately right after with a Kip-Up as she’s not done just yet… Looks like she’s looking for “Bank Roll” as the Insult to Injury knees connect! A little payback of her own, I like it, I like it, I like it! Not wasting any time now, Milli starts to head to the top rope, takes a second to adjust herself, and she goes for a DIVING MOONSAULT!
Eve: NOT SO FAST! Milli went for a Feint Diving Moonsault trying to trick SOSA Henderson as she’s looking to go for the Standing Variation of her Moonsault, but it seems SOSA Henderson was more than prepared for this as he rolls up Milli Banks from behind! The referee now checks for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOO-!!!
Eve: A kick out before the two count as both elitist quickly get back up, SOSA not fazed at all quickly goes for a Bicycle Knee that leaves Milli Banks dazed, he flips her around, and sets her up for a Lumbar Check that does connect this time! It seems we are in for a generational match here tonight with how hard both these talented elitists are going as SOSA Henderson throws Milli Banks out of the ring as he’s looking for something high risk here tonight…
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA is running the ropes while the ever so beautiful Milli Banks is close to us trying to pick herself up… I should help her up, but I don’t want to get hit with whatever SOSA Henderson is looking for as Milli Banks turns around to SOSA Henderson trying to land an Over The Top Rope Moonsault Plancha!!! SOSA HENDERSON LA- MILLI BANKS IS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO SOSA HENDERSON AS SHE QUICKLY POSITIONS HIM FOR A ROLLING FIREMAN’S CARRY ON THE OUTSIDE MAT!!! Milli now gets up on the apron not letting this opportunity go away as she goes for a Moonsault that lands flawlessly from the outer side of the ring apron!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Deadprez: They are out here hoppin tonight and we love to see these two GOATS go at it on this level! Milli Banks ain’t looking to waste anytime though as she quickly throws in SOSA Henderson back into the ring as she heads to the top rope looking to land another Moonsault onto SOSA, she lands on her feet going for the Feint Diving Moonsault into a Standing Moonsault! Ouuuu what a beauty that was right there y’all, but I don’t think she’s done just yet as she slowly starts to pick up SOSA Henderson before going for another European Uppercut that sends SOSA Henderson towards the ropes!
Eve: SOSA Henderson being able to rebound off that European Uppercut as he uses that momentum to hit Milli Banks with a Bicycle Knee that sends HER stumbling towards the ropes, but SOSA Henderson quickly with another Bicycle Knee that sends Milli Banks over the top rope as SOSA starts to run the ropes while Milli Banks tries to regain herself on the outside! She’s picking herself back up with help from the ring barricade and best believe that Milli is trying to continue her reign as EAW Universal Women’s Champion with the dominance she’s shown so far! Milli Banks gets back up as she turns around and is met with an Over The Top Rope Moonsault Plancha as SOSA Henderson finally connects!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA back on his feet as he lets the boos of the fans soak in before he slowly starts to pick up Milli Banks, tries to Irish Whip her into the turnbuckle on the outside, but Milli Banks flips the script like the queen that she is and reverses SOSA’s Irish Whip into one of hers driving SOSA’s shoulder right on the metal turnbuckle! OUCH! Milli from behind quickly throws in SOSA Henderson back into the ring as Milli Banks follows from behind quickly going for a Backspring Roundhouse Kick that leaves SOSA dazed! Milli starts to head to the top rope again as she wastes no time diving up connecting with a Diving Hurricanrana, but SOSA able to land on his feet as both elitist look at each other before running towards each other and taking themselves out at the same time with a running lariat!
(Both Milli Banks and SOSA Henderson are down on the mat as the bird’s eye view camera shows the ring from above before quickly transitioning to the entrance ramp as Donovan Duke is seen making his way to the ring with a steel chair in his hand. He places the chair down and sits down as he starts to watch the match while clapping alongside the fans for both SOSA and Milli to get back up.)
Eve: An interesting development here tonight as Donovan Duke has come out to get a front row seat to the action as both Milli Banks and SOSA Henderson are slowly making their way to the ropes as both use them to pick themselves back up! Milli and SOSA now quickly meet in the middle of the ring as they once again go for a collar-and-elbow lock up, but this time SOSA Henderson is able to play tricks on Milli Banks as he takes a side step that causes Milli to drop her guard! SOSA picks her up and drives her back first into the corner! Taking a few steps back now as SOSA runs towards Milli Banks as he connects with a Single Leg Dropkick, but Milli Banks is still not going down on the mat! SOSA starts to put her up on the top rope as he slowly climbs up as well… Oh no SOSA may be looking for… A TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER THAT CONNECTS! SLOWLY NOW SOSA GOES FOR THE COVER ON MILLI BANKS!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TH-!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GORGEOUS QUEEN KICKS OUT AT TWO!!! That was a devastating Brainbuster from the top rope, but if anyone can kick out of a vicious move like that we all know Milli Banks can! SOSA isn’t sweating it though as he expected a match against the EAW Universal Women’s Champion wouldn’t be that easy. Getting up from a kneeling position, SOSA grabs Milli Banks from the head as he looks to set her up for a Back Suplex… Milli Banks though able to flip herself out of it landing behind SOSA Henderson before she grabs SOSA Henderson from the back of his head and goes for a Springboard Assisted Bulldog that plants SOSA down onto the mat! Milli is trying to add some extra sauce now with “Bank Roll” as the Insult To Injury knees connect! She rolls back up, grabs SOSA Henderson from behind with his arm, picks him up onto his feet, turns him around to SLAP him right in the face, and continues to connect with a Knee Strike into a Poisoned Frankensteiner! MILLI CONNECTS WITH “MONEY MOVES” AS SOSA’S HEAD IS SPIKED ONTO THE MAT! SHE CLOCKED HIS TEA AND SHE GOES FOR THE COVER NOW!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEE-!!!
Deadprez: A kick out before the three as they match continues on! Also, who the hell taught you that lingo Gavin?!? Lord have mercy on me… Milli Banks though looks like she wants to seal this match up for good as she starts heading towards the turnbuckle and starts climbing to the top rope. If she’s able to land what I think she wants to go for, this match might be over… Milli now diving off the top rope going for “MILLI-ON-AIR” AS THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONN-
Eve: SOSA HENDERSON PULLS HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY WITH HELP FROM THE BOTTOM ROPE AS MILLI BANKS FALLS FACE FIRST INTO THE RING MAT! Both elitists slowly getting back up, SOSA is up before Milli as he starts to yell for her to get up, Milli Banks now back on her feet a bit groggy as she tries to take SOSA down from the outside part of the ring apron, but SOSA uses this to his advantage as he connects with a Slingshot Flatliner with help from the ropes! Donovan Duke gives off a sarcastic clap from the six lines, but SOSA isn’t wasting any time now as he once again targets the abdomen in the match going for another Double Foot Stomp before he rolls through and starts to climb to the top rope! It’s daredevil time for SOSA Henderson as he points towards Donovan Duke telling him to “watch this!” as SOSA goes for a “SOSA BOMB” THAT CONNECTS! SOSA NOW GOING FOR THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEE-!!!
Gavin Kirkland: “The Supernova” Milli Banks able to kick out before the three count! Both these elitists are giving it their all tonight, but we can only have one winner as SOSA Henderson’s looking to put Milli Banks down for good as he’s looking to set her up for… “PAID IN FULL” AS SOSA GOES FOR THE FIRST CURB STOMP… MILLI THOUGH ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY LAST MINUTE AS SOSA IS LEFT THERE FEELING A BIT OF THE IMPACT ON HIS LEG! Milli Banks uses this to her advantage as she runs towards SOSA and connects with a Sling Blade and adds a little bit of spice to it with a Dropkick afterwards! She’s not finished just yet with SOSA though as she slowly picks him back up on his feet and connects with a Double Knee Facebreaker! SOSA stumbles back but keeps himself up with help from the ropes… Not a good position for him though as Milli Banks runs towards his direction and hits a beautiful “Diamond Dust” as that rope Tiger Feint Style Cutter drops SOSA right down on the floor! Milli Banks quickly now goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEE-!!!
Deadprez: Still not enough to take down The 24/7 Contract Holder, SOSA Henderson especially when you’ve got Donovan Duke out there watching this match very closely, but Milli Banks ain’t someone who’s going to give up easily either. She slowly starts to pick up SOSA Henderson while getting back up on her feet as well, Milli Banks now trying to connect with “Bankrupt”, but SOSA Henderson using his strength to keep Milli Banks from fully connecting as he send her laughing into the turnbuckle with a Lawn Dart throw! SOSA has a very cocky smirk on his face as he continues to eye down Donovan Duke with each successful move he does, almost letting Donovan Duke know that he’s unfazed by his presence…
Eve: Some may see it differently because focusing on someone who’s not even in the match while your opponent is still giving you a good fight in retaliation could set you up for defeat… Though, SOSA Henderson’s currently on the offense as he picks Milli Banks from the floor from her head, slams her onto the turnbuckle, takes a few steps back, and connects with her another Single Dropkick while Milli stays put on the corner turnbuckle… SOSA gets back up and approaches Milli, but Milli Banks is more than ready as she pushes SOSA off her as both start trading blows back and forth switching each other out of that corner! MILLI WITH A VICIOUS ELBOW TO SOSA BEFORE PUTTING HIM ONTO THE CORNER AND UNLEASHING A BARRAGE OF PUNCHES ONTO SOSA! SOSA THOUGH BLOCKS A FEW BEFORE THROWING A STIFF RIGHT HOOK TO MILLI! SOSA NOW HAS HER ON THE CORNER AS HE STARTS TO HIT HER WITH ELBOW AFTER ELBOW AFTER ELBOW!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MILLIIIII GET UUUUUP!!! GET UUUUUP!!! It looks like SOSA Henderson was able to knock her out cold as she’s not been able to try to block or move out of this attack… No, no, no this ASSAULT case!!! Don’t worry Milli I’ll make sure SOSA Henderson pays for what he’s done here tonight… but after he leaves the ring of course as SOSA Henderson is looking like he’s setting up a big move here as he starts to pick Milli Banks up and place her at the very top while he starts to slowly climb up as well. SOSA makes it to the top as he tries to reposition Milli Banks, but SOSA starts to look down at Donovan Duke who’s still just watching the match as SOSA starts going off on Donovan Duke…
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) Watch how to be an actual winner here ight lil’ bro?
Deadprez: SOSA Henderson now with his attention back on Milli Banks as he tries to set her up for a Top Rope Brainbuster, but focusing on Donovan Duke instead of getting the job done was a grave mistake as Milli Banks is able to maneuver her way into CONNECTING WITH “BANKRUPT” FROM THE TOP ROPE!!! MILLI NOW GOES FOR THE COVER!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT! I KNEW MY BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS QUEEN WOULD PICK UP THE WIN HERE TONIGHT WHILE LOOKING AS AMAZING AS EVER!!! Can we get the pyro going?!?
(As Milli Banks heads out of the ring to grab her EAW Women’s Universal Championship and walks past Donovan Duke, Donovan stands up as he heads inside the ring and starts to beat down on SOSA Henderson.)
Deadprez: OH BROTHER THE ACTION IS SPILLING OUT AFTER THE BELL AS DONOVAN DUKE IS JUST GOING AT THE DOWNED SOSA HENDERSO! THIS THING BETWEEN BOTH MEN HAS GOTTEN EVEN MORE PERSONAL AS DONOVAN DUKE PICKS UP SOSA HENDERSON AND HITS HIM WITH “ROYAL FLUSH” AS HE LAYS OUT SOSA HENDERSON!!!
Eve: Wow… I suppose these two are on a mission to be the only elitists standing that can possibly cash in on TLA it seems. Donovan Duke stands tall tonight as he looks at the downed SOSA Henderson before going for a couple more punches before getting out of the ring and walking backstage…
(The scene shows Donovan Duke heading to the back while SOSA Henderson is shown in the middle of the ring laid out as the screen blacks out to elsewhere.)
[SCREEN BAR – EARLIER TONIGHT]

(The camera fades away to the Las Vegas Sphere which is showing matches from Pain for Pride on the massive spherical screen.)
TLA: Yo did y’all know that this is Pain for Pride. I’ve been there yo.
(TLA’s match with Ms. Extreme where he won the Answers World Championship at Pain for Pride is shown on the Sphere.)
TLA: Damn that shit round as fuck.

(A replay is shown of recently where TLA has been confronted by both Donovan Duke and SOSA Henderson who have made their intentions known that they are coming for his championship.)
TLA: I think what y’all need to be aware of competing in a match like this Casino Battle Royal is just what you are getting yo self into. You out here and you wanna come at yo boi but there is a reason why the main people challenging for my championship are the ones with cash-in opportunities. Cuz they know that they are the only ones who got a shot! Why I ain’t got anyone stepping to me who thinks that they can beat me straight up? Imma tell y’all why. Cuz they know that TLA es El Campeon! I am the one hombre in this whole game who can straight up say undisputedly that I can beat any man or woman in the entire world. Deep down this entire roster is filled with people who ain’t sure that they ready for all of that.
(TLA is shown setting the Answers World Championship in front of him.)
TLA: Some of y’all might think that one day… one day you will be ready. You will be ready to step to TLA and on that day you will be able to take me down and take this championship away.

(TLA is shown leaving the Poon Palace hitting up more casinos as he looks to continue enjoying the night.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring Michael Machina shaking his head and screaming.)
(Saturday Night Showdown returns from a commercial break as Gina Romano stands tall in the ring, excited to announce the main event of the evening.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!… YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING IS THE CASINO BATTLE ROYALE MATCH!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: Two competitors will begin the contest inside the ring, and every 90 seconds, a new competitor will enter, joining the battle until all seven announced participants are present. The order of entry is determined by a deck of cards that each competitor drew prior to this match, with the sequence being displayed on the screen. This match follows the traditional battle royale format, where the only way to eliminate an opponent is by throwing them over the top rope. The last competitor remaining in the ring will earn the opportunity to face TLA at Territorial Invasion for THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!…. AND NOW, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, PLEASE WELCOME THE FIRST TWO COMPETITORS!
(‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics hits as Harper Lee walks out onto the stage, greeted by loud boos from the crowd. Already disgusted by the EAW fans, she simply shrugs it off, maintaining her intense focus on the upcoming match against TLA for the Answers World Championship.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA!… WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS!…. THE STAR PLAYER!!!!!!… HARPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!… LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Harper steps into the ring and poses on the top corner as the boos grow louder. She hops off the second rope, takes off her entrance jacket, and begins warming up for the match while keeping her eyes on the stage. ‘Olé’ by The Bouncing Souls plays, and the crowd erupts, singing “OLÉÉÉÉÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉÉÉÉÉ!!!” and cheering as Ryan Joseph Wilson walks out with an absolutely determined look on his face. Ryan nods, grabs the camera next to him, and yells, “LET’S FUCKING GO!” before heading straight to the ring, ready to fight for the Answers World Championship at Territorial Invasion.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT!… FROM MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC, CANADA!… WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS!… THE WORKHORSE!… RYANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!… JOSEPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!… WILSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ryan comes face to face with Harper Lee, yelling at her with rage and determination as they prepare for the match. Harper Lee tries to brush him off and heads to her own corner. Ryan hypes himself up with the crowd, who are already fired up in the ring. He then prepares for the match, locking his sights on Harper Lee.)
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME THIS IS?!?! IT’S MAIN EVENT TIME!!!!! With 90 seconds on the clock until the next competitor enters, Ryan Wilson and Harper Lee are set to kick off this match, facing each other right from the start! Ryan Wilson competed in the main event last week, going up against top-tier competitors, but ultimately facing defeat at the hands of Bronson Daniels.
Eve: Tonight, he’s in the running for a World Championship opportunity. Will this be the night for Ryan Joseph Wilson to claim victory, or is there more to come down the line? We’re about to find out soon! Just as we’re about to discover the outcome, Harper Lee attempts to give us the conclusion by sending Ryan Wilson over the ropes, nearly eliminating him from the match!
Deadprez: Ryan runs and tumbles over the ropes, almost plummeting to the outside, but Harper capitalizes on the opportunity, trying to eliminate him at once! Ryan delivers a forearm, causing Harper to stagger back toward the center of the ring. Ryan is still in the contest
Gavin Kirkland: That was close! Harper was nearly about to pull the curtain down! Ryan quickly enters the ring and delivers a forearm smash across Harper Lee’s jaw, sending her staggering back towards the corner. Ryan follows up, seizes her, and hurls her across the ring into the opposite corner, preparing to crash into her!
Eve: Harper counters with a sharp kick to his chin, sending Ryan stumbling back towards the center of the ring. Quick thinking by Harper Lee—she ascends to the second rope, leaps off… HARPER HITS A DIVING FLATLINER, DRIVING RYAN FACE-FIRST INTO THE MAT!
Deadprez: Harper Lee really needs to remain concentrated, especially since she’s contending for the chance to compete for the Answers World Championship against TLA at Territorial Invasion.
Gavin Kirkland: Tonight is truly meant to be her moment. Harper Lee rises to her feet and attempts to get Ryan out of the ring as quickly as possible, but Ryan clutches the ropes, battling to remain in the match! He’s not ready to go over the ropes just yet, despite Harper Lee’s best efforts to eliminate him.
Eve: Ryan throws some sharp back elbows into her face, preventing Harper from pushing him out. The force of the elbows slowly forces Harper to back off. Ryan leans against the ropes. Harper makes another attempt to send him over Ryan counters with a well-timed kick, sending Harper back again! Ryan grabs the ropes and launches himself towards Harper… RYAN COMES OFF WITH A SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT ON HARPER LEE!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee was driven back to the ground by the Springboard Tornado DDT from Ryan Wilson! Wilson gained the upper hand against her, putting considerable effort into this match to maintain his dominance.
Deadprez: Ryan slowly began getting back to his feet, while Harper Lee could be seen pulling herself up in the corner…. RYAN CHARGED FORWARD, HE LIFTED HIS RIGHT LEG, SEEMINGLY PREPARING TO NAIL HARPER WITH A HELLUVA KICK!
Gavin Kirkland: More like… Helluva MISS! Harper Lee manages to dodge, causing Ryan to kick the top turnbuckle instead! As Ryan tries to turn around, Harper Lee comes in from underneath, attempting to scoop him up and send him over the ropes and out of the ring!
Eve: Harper Lee is doing everything she can to get Ryan out of the match as quickly as possible. But Ryan fights back, driving a pointed elbow down onto the top of her head, forcing Harper Lee to retreat in pain. Ryan clearly isn’t going to be eliminated from this match without a fight!
Deadprez: Now Ryan positions himself in the corner, his gaze fixed on Harper Lee. Ryan advances toward her, POSSIBLY PREPARING FOR A SUPERKICK TO LAUNCH HIS FOUR HIT COMBO SIGNATURE, BUT IT DOESN’T LAND! HARPER LEE COUNTERS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! RYAN IS DAZED!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee capitalizes on the moment, delivering a kick to his ribs, forcing Ryan down to both knees. Harper Lee steps closer to Ryan… HARPER STRIKES RYAN WITH A PENALTY KICK, AND ALL THE LIGHTS GO OUT!
Eve: The kick struck Ryan precisely, bringing him down. Harper Lee leaned against the ropes after delivering one of her signature kicks to Ryan. Ryan attempted to push himself off the mat and Harper Lee walked away, turning her back to him and facing the ropes…. SHE GRIPPED THEM FIRMLY AND PROPELLED HERSELF OFF WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT, LANDING SQUARELY ON RYAN’S BACK!
Deadprez: Harper Lee was giving Ryan no chance to secure a win in this match at all! Ryan could be seen rolling away, clutching his back, but now Harper Lee’s focus shifted toward the stage as another competitor was preparing to enter the match soon!
Gavin Kirkland: The countdown begins—another participant is on their way to the Casino Battle Royale! Who will it be?!?!
(10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1)
(Titantron begins to display a card animation, shuffling until it reveals the Spades symbol. ‘GOSSIP’ by Måneskin then hits into very loud boos from the crowd. Aria Lestrade wastes no time, sprinting out to the ring. Harper Lee, already prepared for the next competitor, is ready to take her on immediately. Aria runs straight to the ring, nothing matters more than this match right now.)

Eve: Aria has been doing much of the work, capitalizing on her control of the ring so far, and clearing all the competitors out of her way. However, the biggest challenge still lies ahead tonight. Aria is now targeting Harper Lee, focusing on her limbs, causing even more pain for Harper, who has already been through a lot in this match. Aria jams her right hand into Harper’s limbs, worsening the damage.
Deadprez: Now Aria tries to scoop Harper over the ropes, leveraging her leg to send Harper Lee out of the ring. Harper holds on tightly, fighting desperately to avoid elimination. Both Aria and Harper have the same goal: to be the last one standing by the end of the night. The struggle persists as Aria strives to overpower Harper!
Gavin Kirkland: Aria’s hold weakens, and Harper successfully breaks free, dropping back down towards the center of the ring. Harper leans against the ropes, regaining her breath, as Aria Lestrades charges toward her, intending to send her over the ropes with a running clothesline! Harper Lee quickly counters, opening up a path and sending Aria Lestrades over the ropes instead, eliminating her from the ring!
Eve: ARIA HANGS ON! She’s not looking to be ousted from this match that easily and keeps her focus on Harper Lee. Harper Lee rushes at her, attempting to knock her off the apron and eliminate her… ARIA COUNTERS WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI KICK, SENDING HARPER LEE STUMBLING BACK INTO THE RING!
Deadprez: Here comes Ryan Wilson, trying to knock Aria off the apron instead! Ryan ends up slipping through the ropes, with his head caught hanging on the middle one!

Gavin Kirkland: Aria now grips the ropes, preparing to propel herself back into the ring…. ARIA LEAPS BACK THROUGH THE ROPES, REENTERING THE RING AND TAKING BOTH RYAN AND HARPER DOWN AT ONCE WITH A DOUBLE SLINGSHOT DDT!
Eve: ARIA IS CLEARLY NOT HOLDING BACK—SHE’S DETERMINED TO BATTLE FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TONIGHT!
Deadprez: Aria has been performing well so far in this match, with both of her opponents struggling against her. Ryan Wilson is seen crawling away, while Aria rolls back onto her feet, continuing her relentless pursuit of Harper Lee. Aria delivers a series of forearm smashes to Harper, who is already down on the ground, making her even more vulnerable at this stage.
Gavin Kirkland: Aria drags Harper Lee back to her feet, then sends her towards the ropes. Aria follows up with a Bicycle Knee Strike, connecting with Harper’s chin and sending her back down against the ropes. Wasting no time, Aria seizes Harper, hooking her up for a move… ARIA CONNECTS WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX, SENDING HARPER LEE ROLLING DOWN ONTO THE MAT ONCE AGAIN!

RYAN DRIVES ARIA INTO THE TURNBUCKLES BEHIND HIM WITH TREMENDOUS FORCE!!!!!
Deadprez: That’s a nasty landing right there! The mean girl with a bad attitude is getting a lesson from the noble Ryan Wilson! Ryan is back on his feet once again, determined not to let this opportunity slip away after all his talk about how important this moment is to him.
Eve: Now, he’s confronting Harper Lee, who’s still attempting to recuperate from the previous assault by Aria. Ryan lunges at Harper, taking her down as he prepares for the MIC DROP!!!!!!!!!! He’s setting up for the Small Package Driver, but Harper Lee’s legs are trembling as she pushes him off and escapes just in time. he quickly swings a right kick into his gut, and Ryan goes down!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper- Wait- Uh… But what’s Harper doing now…?… HARPER LEE STEPS ONTO RYAN’S BACK AND LAUNCHES HERSELF TOWARDS ARIA, CONNECTING WITH AN ASSISTED DROPKICK!
Deadprez: Man what!??!? Ryan wasn’t even inclined to assist with that one, but Harper must be ingenious with what she’s dealing with at the moment! Ryan gets back on his feet and sprints toward Harper, attempting to take out both her and Aria, but instead, he collides with Aria! Ryan injures his chest and staggers backward, with Harper Lee standing by… JUMPING REVERSE BULLDOG TAKES RYAN WILSON DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee isn’t done yet; she’s already got Aria where she wants her. She drags Aria out of the corner after connecting with the dropkick! Harper might be trying to lift Aria off the ground and slam her down with the Ragnarok! Harper Lee is setting up for the Olympic Slam to take Aria out, but Aria slips out and gets behind her… ARIA CONNECTS WITH A HOOK KICK TO HARPER LEE!
Eve: Aria turns around, her back to Harper Lee, and notices Ryan Wilson attempting to regain control… ARIA IMMEDIATELY GRABS RYAN WILSON AND DELIVERS THE KAMIGOYE KNEE STRIKE BEFORE HE CAN EVEN TRY TO MAKE A COMEBACK! ARIA THEN TURNS BACK TO HARPER.… THE SPINNING ELBOW STRIKE CONNECTS HARD TO THE BACK OF HARPER LEE’S HEAD!
Deadprez: What a devastating elbow, rocking Harper Lee! Aria is handling multiple tasks at once, but now the count begins again! Another participant is looking to make their way to the ring to join these three! Who is it going to be this time?!?
(10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1)
(Titantron begins to display a card animation, shuffling yet again until it reveals the Diamond symbol. ‘PUT EM IN THE FRIDGE’ by Peso Pluma (feat. Cardi B) plays to a mixed reaction from the crowd in Las Vegas. Roberto De La Rosa heads out like a boss, as if he owns the place and runs the business around here. Roberto flashes an arrogant smile before taking off his entrance coat and jogging down towards the ring, where Aria Lestrade stands tall, ready to fight him.)

Deadprez: Here comes Harper Lee, sneaking up on Roberto De La Rosa from behind and bringing him down with a chop block, followed by a flurry of forearm strikes!

Ryan drives Roberto down towards the corner and begins slamming his jaw with relentless shoulder thrusts, over and over! Roberto is now struggling to fend off Ryan Wilson!
Eve: Harper Lee has enough time to reenter the ring, but Aria Lestrade is the one moving in instead.

(Card on the screen begins shuffling and soon displays the Club logo. ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert plays, and all the lights dim.

(The Joker card appears on the screen.)
Gina Romano: AND NOW THE JOKER!…
(‘ballad of a homeschooled girl’ by Olivia Rodrigo plays as Brianna Hill happily makes her way out, glancing up at the three—Aria, Harper, and Ruler—who are standing tall, watching her entrance. She removes her jacket but hesitates by the ring, refusing to step inside.)
Gina Romano: BRIANNA HILL!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The final participant of this match has arrived, but why isn’t Brianna entering the ring???
Aria Lestrade: (Off-Mic) HEY! GET IN THE DAMN RING!
Brianna Hill: (Off-Mic) What do you mean, ‘get in the damn ring’? You guys are going to jump me! I’m not going down there when you’re planning to use unfair methods against me!

Gina Romano: ARIA LESTRADE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Eve: RYAN SOMERSAULTS OVER THE ROPES AND TAKES EVERYONE OUT AT ONCE! THEY’RE ALL DOWN ON THE GROUND! RYAN IS ALREADY SOARING ACROSS THE ROPES TOWARD BOTH!
Gavin Kirkland: EVERYONE IS ELIMINATED FROM THE MATCH AT THE SAME TIME! WHAT ON EARTH—HOW ARE WE GOING TO DETERMINE THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH NOW???? WHO LANDS FIRST???? TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
(Crowd watches in utter bewilderment at what just transpired; all three competitors are on the outside, battered and bruised from the match, yet frustrated because the outcome remains completely uncertain.)
Deadprez: Man, what the heck just happened? Who’s winning? I couldn’t catch who landed first and last. I have no clue how we’re going to sort this out! We need a winner, or TLA won’t have a challenger at Territorial Invasion!
(All three are rolling back into the ring, arguing with each other—Ryan Wilson, Ruler, and Harper Lee. They’re all clearly furious about the outcome, throwing tantrums at each other while the referee tries to calm things down. The referee then signals toward the stage, prompting two additional referees to walk out and join them in the ring.
(One of them immediately confers with the other two referees before raising Ryan’s hand in victory as the crowd cheers.)
Referee 1 (Off-Mic): What? No! His feet touched the ground first! I saw that!
Referee 2 (Off-Mic): He was on top of them when he landed!
(The referee who claimed Ryan’s feet touched the ground first raises Ruler’s hand, while another disagrees and raises Harper’s hand. All three hands are being raised simultaneously, which still doesn’t resolve the issue. Finally, one of them decides to consult with Gina, who rushes down to the referee and begins discussing the situation.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AFTER CAREFUL REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION OF THE EVIDENCE, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT BOTH HARPER’S AND RULER’S FEET TOUCHED THE GROUND SIMULTANEOUSLY!… THEREFORE, BY THE REFEREE’S DECISION, THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH IS… RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD YES!!!! Ryan wins! He is going to face TLA at Territorial Invasion!!!!!
Referee 3 (Off-Mic): NO NO! STOP! IT’S CLEARLY NOT RYAN!
(The referee who spoke up about the recent announcement now goes to talk with Gina Romano, quickly explaining what just happened from his point of view. Gina, though slightly confused herself, proceeds to announce it once again.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE OUTCOME OF THIS MATCH! UPON FURTHER REVIEW, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT RULER’S FEET DID NOT FULLY MAKE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND DURING THE INITIAL RULING ALONGSIDE HARPER LEE AND RYAN JOSEPH WILSON! AS A RESULT, THE DECISION HAS BEEN ALTERED, AND THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH IS… RULER!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT??????
Referee 1 (Off-Mic): HIM??? This is significantly different from what I observed earlier. It does not align with the expected standards and I would like to discuss this further with Gina Romano to clarify the discrepancies please.
(That one referee, who disagrees with Harper Lee being declared the winner because he doesn’t believe the same, goes down to talk with Gina Romano once more. Gina quickly nods in understanding before proceeding to explain what just happened.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE CONFUSION, BUT AFTER EXTENSIVE REVIEW AND DISCUSSION, A FINAL DECISION HAS BEEN MADE! IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT RULER’S FEET TOUCHED THE GROUND FIRST, JUST MILLISECONDS BEFORE HARPER LEE’S, WITH RYAN’S FEET LANDING SHORTLY THEREAFTER! THEREFORE, THE OFFICIAL WINNER OF THIS MATCH IS… HARPER LEE!
Gavin Kirkland: What is going on? Is this it??
Eve: I don’t think so! I think we are not going to get a clear winner tonight!
Deadprez: DAMMIT! Who’s TLA going to face at Territorial Invasion then????
(With the result still unclear, the referees continue arguing, along with the three contestants, about who is actually the winner of this match.)
????: ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!
(The familiar voice captures everyone’s attention, turning it toward the one and only General Manager, Kennedy Street, who strides out with a microphone in her hand and an angry look on her face.)
Kennedy Street: Stop bickering, kids! Jeez honestly, I can’t believe Kennie had to witness such an unfortunate series of events like this, which is now jeopardizing our nearly sold-out title match!!!!!! Since you three referees can’t seem to decide who should challenge TLA, it’s no longer an issue! We’re going to resolve everything right here and now! All three of you—Ryan Joseph Wilson, Harper Lee, and Ruler—at Territorial Invasion….
Kennedy Street: YOU WILL ALL BE COMPETING AGAINST TLA FOR THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! THIS MATCH IS NOW A FATAL FOUR-WAY!
Gavin Kirkland: WOW!
Eve: I suppose that wraps up that one question that was almost impossible to answer tonight. It’s now officially confirmed by Kennedy Street! TLA will be defending his Answers World Championship against Ryan Joseph Wilson, Harper Lee, and Ruler at Territorial Invasion!
Deadprez: We already have such an exciting match like this on the way! It’s going to be very intriguing to see these four competitors face off at Territorial Invasion!
Gavin Kirkland: Truly didn’t expect that decision to be made tonight, but it’s going to make TLA’s title reign much more exciting than ever! That’s it for tonight, folks. We’ll see you next week here on Saturday Night Showdown! Goodnight, ladies and gentlemen!
(The crowd cheers even louder as they realize that the match has now become a Fatal Four-Way. Ruler sits there, knowing he’s going to compete for the world title, smiling with a creepy satisfaction, more excited than ever. Harper Lee is slightly frustrated that she has to compete in a Fatal Four-Way instead of a singles match, but she just shrugs it off, still happy to be in the match. Ryan Joseph Wilson pounds the ground, feeling absolutely emotional that he’s finally able to contend for the world title after a long wait. All three are content with the outcome as Saturday Night Showdown comes to a close.)
