(Friday Night Dynasty intro hits. Once it finishes playing, a recap of last week’s show is shown: Dynasty has a cold open where Richard Grant and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor celebrate Donald Trump’s election win. Impact follows up on his return to Dynasty the week prior and cuts a promo explaining why he came back to EAW and asserting he will win the World Heavyweight Championship Chamber. Nejari Young defeats Jay Starr in the opening match. Daniella Atlas attacks Mia Santoro in the parking lot, and accepts her as her next challenger for the Specialists Championship at Super Dynasty. Vincent Mondrian defeats Tyson Nicolas Taylor. Corey Hale cuts a promo setting his sights on the New Breed Championship, with BRAE stepping in and letting Corey know he plans on successfully retaining the championship. Saori Aizen defeats Clayton Golde. Kensingten and Richard announce matches for Super Dynasty, setting up a stacked show. Chris Elite interrupts tlooking to enter the World Heavyweight Championship Chamber match, which leads to Raven Roberts and Rex McAllister also arriving to the office. A qualifying match between Chris and Rex is then set for Super Dynasty. Jay Jerry Johnson and Kirk Redwood exchange words backstage ahead of Kirk’s match. Afterwards, Kirk Redwood defeats Akari Kiyoko. Backstage, Drake Armstrong asks to be entered in the Extreme Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship, and is granted his request. Hans Grayson defeats Joso in a champion vs champion match, but is subsequently attacked by Impact. Vincent Mondrian then confronts Hans Grayson in the ring after his victory, reminding him he’s coming for the Interwire title at Super Dynasty. Lastly, Myles and Minerva defeat Cy Henderson and Drake Armstrong in the main event.)
(The recap finishes, and a live shot of the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Inside is a sold-out affair, with the fans hyped as can be. Pyro goes off and various shots of the crowd is shown off before the camera settles on a view of Stew-O, Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy all together by the commentary table.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SUPER DYNASTY! A stacked supershow as we are about a month away from Road to Redemption! I am Stew-O, and as always, I am joined by Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy! This is sure to be an exciting Friday evening!
Jake Mercer: It sure is, Stew! I cannot wait for the show to get underway—especially since we’ve got something special going on in the ring!
Flannery McCoy: “Special”. That’s a unique way of putting things….
(After the introductions are out of the way, the camera zooms out to reveal a sleek, modern debate setup within the wrestling ring. Six podiums are spread out evenly throughout, all within the bright, dramatic spotlight of the arena. Right in the center is none other than a familiar face: Talib Bari. The Toronto fans cheer as he waves and greets everyone.)
Talib Bari: EAW Universe! How are y’all doing on this lovely Friday night?!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Talib Bari: Now that’s what I’m talking about! You already know it’s about to be lit up in here, especially since as you see, we got a different format going on. You know, with Road to Redemption coming up, we got a lot of Elitists wanting to make their cases for coming to the mid point of the season as the top of their absolute game. Of course, many folks envision themselves becoming a champion leading up into the new year, and who can blame them, right? Everyone wants to be the top dog here. So, we figured we’d switch things up a lil bit. Elitists here love to run their mouths off about who’s better than who, who’s gonna win over who, and seeing as how we’re coming off of the recent American elections, it’s only fitting that we go ahead and have ourselves a little debate of our own, featuring everyone that will be competing in the World Heavyweight Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption!
(More cheers pour out from the fans, undoubtedly excited about everything.)
Talib Bari: And of course, we got everyone in the ring already. Gotta say, gentlemen, y’all are looking mad fly in them suits! That EAW paycheck isn’t going to waste.
(That’s when the camera pans out to capture the sight of the five Elitists who will be competing in the World Heavyweight Championship Chamber match: BRAE, Hans Grayson, Drake Armstrong, Impact, and Joso. Sure enough, they are dressed to the nines in fitting suits complimenting each man and their individual styles. BRAE adjusts his cufflinks, smirking confidently. Hans cracks his neck, clearly ready for the verbal sparring to come. Drake stands tall with a stoic, aristocratic air, exuding superiority. Impact leans casually against his podium, a veteran whose mere presence commands respect. Joso flashes a small grin, ready as can be even if he’s the one who has the largest target placed on his back.)
Talib Bari: It’s dope, man, but I’m not about to get things twisted—I know under all that drip are five men ready to tear each other apart inside the most unforgiving structure in professional wrestling history: the Extreme Elimination Chamber. But tonight? It’s all about proving you can talk the talk before you step into that hellacious Chamber and try to walk the walk. This debate isn’t just about who can drop the most fire bars and ethering each other, even though all of you are more than capable of doing that. :troll: This is about staking your claim, making your intentions known, and showing the world why you deserve to walk out of Road to Redemption as the World Heavyweight Champion. So, here are the rules, cause we can’t just have everyone yapping endlessly. Each Elitist is gonna be asked a question from a member of the audience and will have about one minute to give their answer. Occasionally, I’m gonna step in, have a question of my own, or even open up an opportunity for rebuttals and other opinions. Again, one minute. And I know that the fans here got their people they’re rooting for, their favs and whatnot, but I’m gonna ask for y’all not to go too crazy and show everyone the same bit of respect, alright?
(Some of the fans grumble and even boo.)
Talib Bari: Hey, I ain’t make these rules! They’re coming straight from the big bosses themselves here on Dynasty!
Flannery McCoy: Figured as much. Bad enough last week’s show felt more like a Trump celebration than an actual Dynasty episode, but now they want to continue milking that by setting up a debate? It’s a good thing we aren’t currently touring in America right now because things are precarious back home as is…
Jake Mercer: Oh, don’t be a spoil sport! Debates are always fun! Nothing but mindless entertainment. Besides, at least none of the Elitists here are capable of starting a world war!
Flannery McCoy: Well, you do have a point there.
Jake Mercer: Exactly, so relax a little. Just some good, ol’ fashioned bants. It’s not a debate until someone’s getting roasted harder than a holiday turkey.
Flannery McCoy: God, you’re hopeless.
Stew-O: We’ve dealt with this for long enough.
Talib Bari: Anyways, let’s get this show on and popping, yeah? It’s Super Dynasty after all, and we got a huge show with a lot of stuff you don’t wanna miss out on, including this debate! First off, we got the New Breed Champ in the building, who’s gonna be pulling double duty tonight as he seeks to walk into Road to Redemption with not just one title, but two: IT’S BRAE!
(BRAE gives a nod of his head, remaining steadfast and serious.)
Talib Bari: Up next, we also have another champion who’s pulling double duty! Damn! Talk about ambition, baby! But speaking of the New Breed Championship, he kickstarted what has been shaping up to be a promising career when he won that championship at Pain for Pride last year. Is it any wonder how he was able to replicate that same bit of success at Pain for Pride: Kingdom and has been steadily holding down the fort since? It’s none other than the current Interwire Champion, and Canada’s very own… HANS GRAYSON!
(Easily going to be the largest reaction of the night. The Canadian fan are firmly behind Hans as they cheer, whoop and holler.)
Crowd: HANS! HANS! HANS! HANS! HAS!
Stew-O: I lot of love being shown for the Canadian. No surprise there.
Jake Mercer: The only good Canadian in my eyes, Stew! Next to Shania Twain!
Flannery McCoy: Avril Lavenge?
Jake Mercer: Meh. Fefe Dobson had her wiped down.
Talib Bari: Next up, we got the man Hans defeated at Pain for Pride in order to hold the championship he got currently—
Hans Grayson: :troll:
Drake Armstrong: 🙄
Talib Bari: —But he didn’t let that slow him down! Not one bit! People may not like him, but you gotta respect the crazy drive this man has to solidify his name as something you won’t forget. Then again, considering his background and family, that’d be nearly impossible to do! Ahaha! Now, keep it cute and cordial; don’t be hating on bro too hard all cause he got flyer suits than y’all! It’s DRAKE ARMSTRONG!
(The fans, of course, give Drake complete and utter shit. Boos upon boos layer with one another. However, the smug Armstrong gives a mere shrug, completely and utterly unbothered by the reaction he has come to be familiar with at this point in his career.)
Talib Bari: Well, damn! No need to wonder who y’all dislike the least! Now, the last of the challengers… I mean, do I really need to introduce him?
(Impact smirks.)
Impact: Go on. 😌
(Talib hypes himself up and clears his throat.)
Talib Bari: He’s the greatest of greats. The most decorated Elitist in EAW history. The only double-digit multi-time world champion, and it’s for good reason too. Someone who is always able to carve out his spot at the top regardless of the talent pool he’s in. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for EAW Hall of Famer, and Mr. #10Reignz himself… IMPACT!
(The crowd reaction to Impact’s introduction is deafening, with a split down the middle—half the fans erupting into raucous cheers for the Hall of Famer’s legendary career, and the other half booing with all their might, refusing to give respect to someone they view as arrogant and self-serving. Impact, of course, feeds off the mixed response, standing at his podium with an unshakable smirk. He clears his own throat before speaking up.)
Impact: Just a little correction for you, Talib: It’s soon-to-be Mr. #11Reignz.
Talib Bari: :notbad:
(More mixed reactions from the fans. Hans Grayson shakes his head with a roll of his eyes while Drake Armstrong scoffs. BRAE simply stands stone-faced, keeping his reaction close to the chest. However, someone speaks up.)
Joso: #11Reignz my ass, you’re not getting shit.
Crowd: !!!
Impact: ?
(Joso’s glare towards Impact narrows. However, the EAW Hall of Famer lets out a chortle, fanning him off.)
Impact: What’s the matter? I’m only pointing out what’s going to be inevitable come Road to Redemption. Someone is awfully touchy about their world championship reign coming to an end…
Joso: Ain’t nobody getting touchy about anything. It’s just annoying to see you waddle your way back in without having to lift a single finger and think this title is gonna be yours. But aye, at least you lost the gut, Bubbles. That means all that weight you used to have ain’t gonna hold you back so you can run home as fast as you can when things don’t go your way.
Impact: :mjlol: !! You’d love for that to happen, but no, it’s not. Even on the off chance that I do somehow lose, do you really think that’s gonna dampen my ambitions of becoming world champion? If anything, it’s only going to stoke the flames I have burning in me, and that would be bad news for you, Joso. Even more so than how it already is for you.
Joso: Oh yeah? Like to see you try—
Talib Bari: Fellas, fellas! Let’s settle down now! Let’s keep it very demure and very mindful here, even just for tonight, yeah?
Drake Armstrong: Ugh. No class. No decorum. How embarrassing.
BRAE: I know you’re not the one talking.
(Drake cuts BRAE a sharp side eye.)
Drake Armstrong: I beg your pardon?
BRAE: You position yourself as a man of the upper echelon, a societal power above everyone else, and yet, your actions is unbecoming of someone who wishes to present himself as such. You are just a messy walking contradiction of a man whose hubris goes unchecked and rears its ugly head.
Drake Armstrong: Ha! How rich, especially coming from someone who calls himself a ‘Lord’. At least any and all honorifics attributed to me has been rightfully placed upon me, for I am truly the Future of not only the Armstrong Dynasty and its legacy, but of EAW and, as a whole, this entire sport. Meanwhile, you’re nothing more than a plucky brute who has the advantage of being a part of a weak division.
BRAE: ‘Weak’, you say? You mean the same division you failed to conquer merely a year ago? The same division where men such as myself, Hans, Michael Machina, and others sought to elevate and bring about a new era here in EAW? Nullifying any title and its respective division is a bad look as is, but for you to blatantly lie through the skin of your teeth because you were nothing more than a goddamn failure in your pursuit for this same championship I have on my shoulder is both pitiful and pathetic. Besides, if we really want to go down that route, at least I defeated the longest-reigning champion in this title’s history to secure it. Meanwhile, you defeated someone who was termed a… oh, what was it called again? A “dick rider”? Hardly an impressive feat if I do say so myself.
Drake Armstrong: What?! You ingrate! How dare you—
Talib Bari: Alright, again, save the bickering for another time! Now, to the final participant in this debate, he is the current EAW World Heavyweight Champion. He’s been on a tear throughout this season, and capped off everything at House of Glass by defeating one of the greatest world champions and competitors in EAW’s history, Myles. He said he was gonna bring in a new era, and he did exactly that. Now, he’s looking to make it past Road to Redemption and secure his first title defense in the biggest way possible. Y’all already know and love him, but EAW Universe, go ahead and make some noise foooor JOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOO!
(Joso receives tons of love from the fans. Even if Hans’ reception may have slightly edged out against him, it’s still evident that many within the EAW Universe are diehards for the current EAW World Heavyweight Champion. Joso nods and waves to the fans, even pointing at a few of them, acknowledging them in any way he can.)
Talib Bari: Cool. Now, this is where the real fun begins. We got personnel around within the crowd looking to hand off some mics for those of you who wanna ask questions, so don’t be shy! This debate is very much an effort from you guys as well!
(The camera zooms out, and a few shots show several EAW personnel making their way through the audience, scouting for passionate fans eager to either ask genuine questions or stir the pot. One of the personnel passes a mic off to a fan, more composed, standing up and decked out in EAW merch with glasses on.)
Astute Fan: Hello, good evening. My question is aimed towards BRAE, actually. I know that the main emphasis has been mainly placed on the world champion and how he hasn’t competed in a Chamber match before, highlighting that as a weakness, but at the same time… this is your first time competing in the match type as well. You are one of the hardest-hitting and ruthless Elitists in this promotion, but at the same time, things can be different when you’re competing in an environment you have never been in before. How do you expect to win when you don’t have the same experience as the majority of your opponents?
BRAE: I see. Well, we all have faced the unknown. No one exactly wakes up with all of this abundant knowledge of professional wrestling and every match that entails it. Even some of my opponents had to start off from nowhere. However, determination can fill in the gaps left in the wake of inexperience. It’s more so about the willingness to accept the risks rather than expect for everything to go smoothly and fall into place. That’s just not realistic. Still, I dare say that my inexperience in this situation can position me as a dark horse, as my opponents do not truly know themselves the lengths I will go to secure a victory in a chamber. There’s a certain unpredictability at play, and I think it can work to my advantage rather than hinder me.
(The fan nods, seemingly pleased with the response given.)
Astute Fan: Thank you, and good luck.
Talib Bari: Someone sure is determined, and I like that! Kinda talking that truth there about being an unknown factor. Alright, let’s see who is next! Don’t be antsy!
(They sit back down. Next, the camera shows off an enthusiastic blonde woman, pretty face and all, sporting a Hans Grayson T-Shirt. She nearly jumps up and down, practically buzzing like a bee as she is given a microphone. She squeals out.)
Diehard Graysonite: Oh my gosh, Hans, hiiiiiiiii! You are like, so cute! Wow! I can’t believe I’m actually speaking with you! Eek!
Hans Grayson: 😅 The pleasure is all mine.
Diehard Graysonite: Oh my gosh, Kelly is gonna be so jealous— ahem. Sorry! I get a little excited, haha! Um, but I do have a legit question for you! Of course, you made it into the EEC, and that is awesome, but you’re also the Interwire Champion… for now, at least! I don’t wanna jump the gun, even though I do believe you’re gonna kick ass tonight and retain, but for the sake of being completely impartial, let’s treat it as a huge “if”. So, if you win tonight, and if you win at Road to Redemption… aren’t your nervous about how you’d fare as a double champion? Like, it’s cute and all, but at the same time, holding two championships is an insane responsibility, and at least from my memory, not many double champions get to have long reigns after becoming that. Kassidy Heart became a double champion at Wicked Games when she won the tag titles while Universal Women’s Champion last year, and she’d lost that title at Road to Redemption. Before her, Andre Walker became double champ at Pain for Pride 15, but then he lost the Interwire title not long after that to the current world heavyweight champion himself. Also, I don’t think Drake King had much time himself when he was world heavyweight and tag champion. :Lupe: It seems like, no matter your status, being a double champion is a double edged sword, so I wanna know how you’d be any different from them?
(Hans takes a moment to let the question settle in before he replies.)
Hans Grayson: Well, I’ll be honest: when you put it like that, the future of being double champion doesn’t seem all that fun. Those examples you brought up definitely brings about a stark reality. However, I think what will separate me is the fact that I don’t care to be a stat ladder. I think those names lost sight of the bigger picture and saw being a double champion as more than a cute little fact to put on their resumes rather than an accomplishment they should embody. Of course, we’re all selfish and arrogant in our own ways, but some of us still do have noble intentions, and I’m determined to give the world heavyweight championship just as much attention as I do with the Interwire title. But of course, I’ll have to make it past Vincent Mondrian tonight, and should I be able to get the job done, then I’ll set my sights entirely on both titles and making sure they get their equal just due.
Diehard Graysonite: Oh, what an amazing answer! You really are the best, Hans! Thank you! 🤩🥰
(Hans smiles humbly, giving a small nod of appreciation to the stan. The fan, still starstruck, sits down, clutching her Hans Grayson T-shirt like it’s a holy relic.)
Talib Bari: Man, Hans, you just out here winning over hearts and minds, huh? Smooth with the mic, smooth with the fans, I see you, my guy. Respect.
(Hans chuckles and gives a casual shrug. However, Impact interjects, shaking his head in partial disgust.)
Impact: Wow. Throwing those names under the bus, huh?
(Hans pauses, then glances over at Impact.)
Hans Grayson: What do you mean?
Impact: I mean, it’s already bad enough you guys are delusional in thinking you’ll be able to win this Chamber over me, but to think you have what it takes to be better than those names? You’re insane! I know Andre’s rep is shaky at best right now, but at least he along with Kassidy and Drake have accomplished far more than you could possibly hope to achieve. You carved out a nice niche for yourself, but don’t become blind. There is still way more that you need to prove, and you aren’t going to be accomplishing that.
Hans Grayson: Well, at least I’d be able to accomplish beating your ass and maybe even guaranteeing that you’re eliminated in the chamber after what you did last week.
(Some of the fans cheer. However, Impact isn’t frazzled by his words.
Impact: Only in your dreams, kid. I laid both you and the champ out with no issue involved. I don’t think you should be testing your luck.
Joso: I’m right here, bro.
Impact: I can see.
Joso: Not with them fuck ass bangs you got on you.
Impact: Oh, come on, Joso. You can insult me better than that. Besides, I don’t need you coming after how I look when your hair cut looks like it was styld by a five-dollar barber on Instagram Live.
Joso: That’s cute, Impact. Real cute. But while you’re worried about haircuts and trying to keep up with the new generation, just remember one thing: I’m the one who laid your ass out back at Pain for Pride. You can talk about your legacy all you want, but it didn’t mean shit when I pinned you and took my spot at the top. And guess what? Nothing’s changed. You’re just another old head trying to hold on to his glory days, and I’m gonna make sure Road to Redemption is the final nail in the coffin for you and your entitled bum ass.
Impact: You might’ve gotten lucky once, but lightning isn’t going to strike twice for you. I can promise you that. You aren’t beating me, just like the rest of these current flavor of the years who think they can get far ahead of me.
Hans Grayson: Yeah? Then maybe when one of us puts your ass out of the Chamber you can have a bigger meltdown than you did against Eclipse Demos and retire—and this time, actually follow through on it.
(The fans immediately cackle and hoot, reacting loudly. Even Talib Bari covers his mouth, clearly caught off guard by the brutal jab. Impact’s smirk vanishes, replaced by a cold, piercing glare directed straight at Hans.)
Drake Armstrong: 😳
BRAE: Oh………………………………………..
Joso: Oh shit! 😂😂😂 I couldn’t even come up with an insane read like that! 😭😭😭
(Impact’s scowl intensifies.)
Impact: You really think you were slick with that, huh? Getting deep with history you weren’t even around for to truly understand. I would be careful if I were you. You don’t want to make an enemy out of me all because you want to be desperate and try to prove you’re better than me. In fact, after I’m done with you in the Chamber, the only thing people will remember about Hans Grayson is how he got turned into just another footnote in my legacy. You wanna talk about retirement? Trust me, I’ll be the one retiring you before you even get to have a remotely memorable career.
Hans Grayson: Is that so? Then how about we don’t wait for Road to Redemption and see if you’re really capable of that?
(The tension quickly escalates; however, Talib speaks up, cutting through what was hastily becoming an intense situation.)
Talib Bari: Okay, no, no fighting! Save it for the Chamber!
(Hans and Impact still glare at one another. However, Drake speaks up, letting out an unamused sigh as he straightens out his suit jacket.)
Drake Armstrong: You know, I’ve been sitting back, listening to all this pointless bickering, and I have to say it’s so stupid. Really, it is. Joso, Hans, Impact—you’re all so busy trying to prove who can talk the loudest, but the fact is, none of you have what it takes to stand tall when it matters. You can argue all night about ‘legacy’ and ‘heart’ and whatever other nonsense you want to throw around, but at the end of the day, there’s only one man in this ring who’s destined to be the World Heavyweight Champion. And that man is me. None of you understand what true greatness looks like. You’re too caught up in your petty rivalries to realize you’re standing in the presence of someone who was born to be at the top. I don’t need to claw my way up like some desperate underdog. I don’t need to cling to past accolades like some washed-up has-been. And I sure as hell don’t need the approval of these fans to validate my place in this company. At Road to Redemption, I’ll outlast every single one of you and prove, once and for all, why I’m the only one who deserves to hold that title.
BRAE: Ha. And who made you feel as if those thoughts are validated?
Drake Armstrong: I have nothing to prove to a commoner like you. Now, hush up and lets get this debate out of the way, yes? I rather not have to share any more space with any of you, least of all with you, you simpleton.
BRAE: Suit yourself, “Future”. But I have a good feeling everything is going to come crumbling down for you soon enough.
(Drake rolls his eyes. The camera pans away as another fan comes to a stand, speaking into the microphone given to them.)
Younger Fan: Yes, hi, I wanna ask Impact a question. With your legendary resume and Hall of Fame career, what makes you believe you can still hang with the younger, hungrier competitors in this Chamber? Do you have what it takes to survive one of the most brutal matches of your career against opponents who might be faster and stronger than you? You got experience, sure, but you’re not the same guy you were a decade ago, so all that milage could mess with you, you know?
Impact: First of all, let me just say this: I don’t need anyone questioning whether I ‘have what it takes.’ Because I’ve already done more in this business than every single man in this ring combined. I mean, hunger, really? It’s such a generic, baseless quality. It’s just absolutely moot. They can be hungry in their own right, sure, but I am the apex predator who’s been feeding off this industry for over a decade. While they’re busy chasing the spotlight, I am the spotlight. While they’re trying to make history, I am history. And this Chamber match? It’s just another page in the never-ending saga of my greatness. With that in mind, to answer your question—can I hang with these guys? Let me correct you: they need to worry about whether they can hang with me. This Chamber match isn’t a proving ground for me; it’s an opportunity for them to survive being in the same ring as the greatest to ever do it. And when the dust settles, the name at the top of the marquee will still read ‘Impact.’ It’s as simple as that, really.
(The fan gives a shrug and hands back the microphone. Another shot shows a different fan having a microphone, rocking simple streetwear.)
Cool Fan: Aye, this one going to the big dog Joso. First off, respect for holding it down with that World Heavyweight Championship. But I gotta know, with the Chamber coming up, and all these guys tryna come for your spot, how do you keep yourself focused? Like, you got Impact out here acting like he’s untouchable, Hans trying to be the fan favorite, Drake with his ‘I’m destined for greatness’ speeches, and BRAE thinking he can come in and clean house. How do you block out all the noise and keep doing what you do best?
Joso: Yo, first off, big respect for the question, my guy. You see, the thing is, all that noise you’re talking about? That’s just background music to me. Impact can call himself the spotlight all he wants, but while he’s busy reminiscing about the good ol’ days, I’m out here living in the now. Hans, he’s got the fans hyped, but the fans don’t step into the Chamber with him—I do. Drake? Man, I’ve heard the same shit a million times, and guess what? I’m still here while he’s still being entitled, and while I don’t got anything against BRAE, all the tough talk ain’t gonna get to me. I’m build for this. I know I have a lot to watch out for, but I’m ready, and I know I can win by just focusing on me and being myself. It’s gotten me this far, gotten me this championship, and it’s gotten me all of your respect, so why stop? Why let what others are saying get to me? I’d be doing a disservice to myself, and I’m not finna do that.
(The fans cheer. The person nods and grins, sitting back down. The camera then goes back to the ring, focusing on everyone.)

Drake Armstrong: :francis:
(Suddenly, many fans get up, rushing to the microphones to speak up.)
Shady Fan: Drake, is it true you went to Turkey to get your hairline restored!?
Trolling Fan: Drake, how does it feel to know that Michael Machina still owns you!?
Eco-Conscious Fan: Drake, what do you have to say about the Armstrong family’s incredibly-reckless use of air travel and causing environmental damage!?
(The crowd erupts into laughter and wild cheers as fans bombard Drake Armstrong with absurd, trolling questions. The camera pans to Drake, whose smug demeanor rapidly crumbles as his face flushes with frustration. Talib Bari is barely keeping it together, holding back laughter as he steps in to regain control. Even the other Elitists are snickering at the display.)
Talib Bari: Yoooo, y’all are ruthless tonight! C’mon now, let’s at least pretend to keep it professional. Drake, you good? You look like you’re about to call a private jet to take you outta here.
(The crowd laughs even harder as Drake picks up his mic, visibly fuming but trying to regain his composure. He glares at the fans, his lips tightening before speaking.)
Drake Armstrong: Alright, let me address this nonsense real quick, because clearly, the unwashed masses don’t know how to respect greatness. First of all, my hairline is impeccable, thank you very much. Second, Michael Machina? Please, that guy is about to be fodder for everyone in the Voltage Chamber. And third, our family’s use of private jets is NONE of your business. If anything, you peasants should be thanking us for stimulating the economy! You wouldn’t understand, but some of us have responsibilities that require real money and influence.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Drake Armstrong: You know what? I don’t need to explain myself to any of you! While you’re all out there booing, I’m out here living a life you could only dream of, and at Road to Redemption, I’ll finally give you something real to boo about when I walk out of the Chamber as the NEW World Heavyweight Champion. Go ahead and laugh it up now while you can, because when I’m standing at the top of this industry, we’ll see who’s laughing then!
(The boos grow louder, but Talib Bari quickly steps in, shaking his head and laughing to himself as he tries to calm the chaos.)
Talib Bari: Alright, alright, that’s enough trolling for now, y’all! Drake, you’re a good sport for taking all that heat—kinda. But hey, you wanted a question, and you got plenty, my guy. So don’t say I didn’t do you a favor!
Drake Armstrong: Tch. Whatever…
Joso: Yo, Drake, you out here catching more strays than anyone else in this debate. Maybe that’s a sign, my guy. You’re not built for this. You’re not built for the Chamber, and you’re definitely not built to hold this title.
Hans Grayson: Yeah, Drake, don’t let it get to you, man. I mean, it’s not your fault the fans can smell the insecurity coming off you from a mile away.
Drake Armstrong: Shut it. Both of you.
Joso: What? The truth hurts, big boy? Then again, I don’t blame you. I mean, aside from Impact’s lazy bumfuck self, you’re gonna be the only other challenger here that didn’t even earn their way into this match with a qualifying match.
Drake Armstrong: Okay? And? I’m still in the match.
BRAE: That you are, but your merit is under the most questioning, and rightfully so.
Drake Armstrong: You REALLY cannot lay off me, huh?
Joso: LMAOOOOO YOU FINALLY SPEAKING LIKE A REAL NEW YORKER NOW!
Drake Armstrong: I guess I should put things into simpler terms so that even a moron like you can understand.
Impact: Ganging up now, huh? Guess we can expect for the three of you to chum it up backstage at catering after this is done.
Joso: Yeah, just don’t go eating all the peameal bacon sandwiches, bruh. Don’t want you gaining all that weight back before you gotta wrestle!
Impact: More fat jokes. I forgot how childish and redundant you are.
Drake Armstrong: All the more reason for me to make sure I take our sorry excuse for a world champion out of the match as quickly as possible?
Joso: Word?
Drake Armstrong: … Word.
Joso: Bet?
Drake Armstrong: Bet.
Joso: Cool.
(Suddenly, Joso grabs something from the podium and chucks it at Drake!)
Stew-O: WHAT THE?! WAS THAT A BOTTLE OF WATER!? IT HIT HIM ON THE FOREHEAD!
Jake Mercer: AND NOW, JOSO CHARGES AT ARMSTRONG! HE TACKLES HIM TO THE GROUND, UNLOADING WITH PUNCHES!
Flannery McCoy: LOOK! WITH THE CHAOS UNFOLDING, IMPACT JUST GOT A CHEAP SHOT IN AGAINST HANS GRAYSON! THE HALL OF FAMER AND INTERWIRE CHAMPION ARE DUKING IT OUT!
(Meanwhile, BRAE, who had been quietly watching the madness unfold, looks around at the chaos, shrugs, and mutters to himself:)
BRAE: (off-mic) Screw it.
Stew-O: HANG ON! THE NEW BREED CHAMPION IS IN THE MIX NOW, JOINING THE FRAY! TALIB LEAVES THE RING! BRAE GRABS JOSO AND THROWS HIM INTO THE CORNER, LANDING STIFF PUNCHES! HANS AND IMPACT ARE SPILLING TOWARDS THE ROPES, BUT BRAE COMES AROUND AND STRIKES THEM BOTH WITH HEADBUTTS!
Jake Mercer: THIS IS CRAZY! BRAE IS JUST GOING ON A TEAR, SWINGING AT ANYONE WITHIN REACH LIKE A ONE-MAN WRECKING BALL!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE CREEPS UP BEHIND AND TRIES TO ATTACK, BUT BRAE SPINS AROUND IN TIME AND CATCHES HIM WITH A MASSIVE CLOTHESLINE THAT FLIPS HIM INSIDE OUT!! JOSO IS BACK UP, FIRED UP, AND RUSHES AT THE NEW BREED CHAMPION, BRAWLING WITH HIM!
Stew-O: ALL THE WHILE, HANS AND IMPACT HAVE ROLLED OUT TO THE OUTSIDE! BOTH RECOVER AND FOCUS ON EACH OTHER; NOW WE’RE BACK TO SQUARE ONE AS THEY FIGHT ONCE MORE!
(Security FINALLY rushes the ring, swarming the competitors and trying to separate them. Most of the Elitists are being dragged apart, though they’re still shouting and lunging at one another. Drake is pulled back to the outside, furious and pointing at Joso while yelling incoherently. Hans shoves off two security guards, glaring daggers at Impact as they’re both restrained on opposite sides of the ring. BRAE needs multiple of the guards to keep him at bay.)
Jake Mercer: Well, I guess things are gonna calm down now! That was insa–
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! JOSO MANAGES TO SLIP THROUGH THE GUARDS—AND HE’S COMING AT IMPACT! JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! IMP NEARLY GOES LIMP, BUT JOSO GRABS HIM AND RAISES HIM UP—
Stew-O: ‘HEAVEN’S GATE’! PACKAGE PILEDRIVER SENDS THE HALL OF FAMER DOWN, AND JOSO ENACTS A MEASURE OF REVENGE AGAINST HIM FOR WHAT HE DID LAST WEEK! WHAT A CHAOTIC SCENE!
(Security works overtime to prevent anyone else from attacking anyone else. However, Joso takes the title and stands tall as he goes back into the ring, standing in the center of the ring.)
Jake Mercer: A whole lot of drama, but our world champ stands at the top amongst his challengers! For now, at least!
(With that, Dynasty fades to commercials.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival begins playing as Kirk Redwood emerges from the back, fired up. He slaps himself a couple of times to get ready; while Amanda follows him out from the back and accompanies him down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, accompanied by Amanda Miller, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 210 pounds… he is “UNKILLABLE” KIRK! REDWOOD!
Stew-O: Last week Kirk Redwood picked up a victory in dominant fashion over Akari Kiyoko, but there’s going to be a night and day difference between sending a message to Jay Jerry Johnson, and actually acting on it.
Jake Mercer: We’ve gotta remember that Jay is the one who set this all off. He interrupted Kirk and used his time to make a statement for himself. We know Kirk isn’t gonna take that lightly, and last week was just a small example of what this man can do when fired up.
Flannery McCoy: That’s definitely right. We can expect a great match and showing from him, and judging by his reaction, the man is absolutely locked in and ready to go.
(As Kirk’s music fades out, it’s followed up by the tune of ‘Mayoi Uta (Song of the Lost Star)’ by MyGO!!!!! Jay Jerry Johnson walks out from the back with a smug expression on his face, looking around at the rowdy crowd ahead of his official in-ring return. Jay strides down the ramp, sliding in and posing in the center of the ring.)
Stephie Love: His opponent, residing in Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 223 pounds… he is “THE ARTIST!” JAY! JERRY! JOHNSON!
Jake Mercer: The last time we saw Jay Jerry Johnson in a ring was during the Grand Rampage match. He made his terms very clear going into that night, he would be leaving if he didn’t win that match and he indeed took a leave of absence. Seven months later, he is back and there’s no better way to return than at Super Dynasty!
Stew-O: There’s a lot of pressure that comes with being the first match of the night, but this is a fantastic way to open up the show. Both of these men crave the win and a chance to get their name in the title picture, but who will do it?
Flannery McCoy: We can only know when that bell rings! But Jay Jerry Johnson looks focused, he’s in great shape. He may be coming back to EAW at the best version he’s ever been! But against a guy with the mentality of Kirk Redwood? That can only go so far…
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: The bell rings and Jay Jerry Johnson and Kirk Redwood both circle the ring, trying to get a good feel for one another. They extend their fingers out, slowly inching towards the other. Both men are clearly testing the distance here, and I can only imagine what they’re calculating in their head right now…
Jake Mercer: Both of these men know what it takes to grapple their way to victory. There’s respect for the ability of each other and we’re going to see a slow start here. Jay swats Kirk’s hand away, trying to get the advantage. He reaches in, but Kirk grabs his wrist and tries to yank him forward!
Flannery McCoy: Jay plants his feet into the mat and pulls back, getting free. Kirk shrugs his shoulders, I don’t think he was expecting a takedown like that to work on someone as experienced as Jay anyways. Both men step forth into a powerful collar and elbow tie-up! The referee is watching closely as they tussle around the ring, jockeying for control.
Jake Mercer: Redwood is really digging his forearms into the mouth of Jay! He overpowers him, flipping the hold and bringing them to the ropes! The referee steps in and enforces a clean break, and both men reluctantly break away from each other… They would’ve toppled outside the ring if they had to. Jay slowly steps off the ropes and both men circle the ring.
Stew-O: And here comes Jay Jerry Johnson, charging backwards with an Imanari Roll! But Kirk pushes his leg away, before Jay can capture it. Jay rolls to his feet and shakes his head. Both men try for another collar and elbow tie-up, but instead Jay ducks under Kirk and applies a waist lock! He’s got it in tight and now Kirk is going to have to find a way out—
Jake Mercer: He’s already on it! Kirk spins out of the hold, latching on a powerful headlock! Jay winces, waving out to the air. He takes him by the waist and brings him to the ropes, sending him off… But Kirk skids to his knee, keeping the headlock right back in! Jay pulls at his wrists, groaning. Kirk continues to latch that headlock in, and Jay slowly works his way up. He takes Kirk to the ropes again, trying for another chance to throw him off!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk is ready to hold on with all of his might, but Jay was expecting that! He spins off the ropes with Kirk while holding onto the waist, and then he kicks at the back of his knee, sweeping him onto his back to free his head! Once Jay is free, he jumps on Kirk’s arm like a hyena and applies a grounded armbar. Kirk winces out in pain, trying his damndest to get free while Jay is just pulling on that arm, trying to rip it off!
Stew-O: Jay applies his knee to the side of Kirk’s ribcage, adding more pressure onto his body. He continues to pull back on that arm and clearly the pain is upsetting Kirk. He rolls onto his fours, slowly working his way up as he pushes Jay back against the turnbuckles. Jay’s body is touching the ropes so as the referee comes to enforce a clean break, Jay slowly lets go— ONLY FOR KIRK TO NAIL HIM WITH A BLISTERING KNIFE EDGE CHOP! Jay falls back, holding his chest in agony!
Jake Mercer: That was a mistake you don’t see him usually making! Ring rust may be getting to Jay Jerry Johnson, and Kirk lifts his head up and starts bashing it in with forearm strikes against the top turnbuckle! Jay is trying to cover up while the referee is at his count of five! Imagine if this match ended by disqualification?!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! COME ON KIRK! THAT’S ENOUGH!
Flannery McCoy: The referee pulls Kirk Redwood back, who raises his arms in protest. Jay is hurting in the corner, and once Kirk separates himself from the ref, he charges back in— only to meet a boot to the jaw! Jay follows up with a powerful european uppercut! Kirk is on wobbly legs, as Jay throws ANOTHER european uppercut! Kirk staggers backwards, and Jay cups the back of his head as he throws a THIRD european uppercut! Kirk falls to a knee, and Jay backs up. He nods, wanting for a sliding version, but Kirk rises and catches the waist! He lifts him up high in the air for a german suplex!
Stew-O: Hold on! Jay wraps his legs around Kirk’s waist in the air, locking him into wheelbarrow position as he rolls forward and drags him down, taking the legs to perfectly execute a victory roll! The referee slides to the count— Kirk is trying his hardest to get free!
OOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: Kick out from Kirk Redwood! Both men are up to their feet and blast each other with a forearm strike at the same exact time! Kirk revs back another one, but Jay has him scouted out as he throws a powerful calf kick! Kirk staggers, and he felt that one for sure! Jay follows up with a middle kick! And then a palm strike! Kirk is on wobbly legs, still trying to swing! He swings wildly and Jay sidesteps it, leaping into a single leg dropkick to the back of the head—
Stew-O: Kirk saw it coming! He ducked his head down at the very last second and Jay misses the kick, losing his balance and falling to his ass! He looks up in shock with little time to prepare, as Kirk takes him down with a SLIDING LARIAT! Jay is out of it, and Kirk drags him up by the hair. He takes him by the waist, looking around! SAITO SUPLEX! Jay gets dropped on the back of his head and his body is laid out like a ragdoll!
Flannery McCoy: He’s firing up now! Jay rolls away to the turnbuckles, wrapping his body around the bottom rope. He tries his hardest to get up, and Kirk turns, waiting on him. He slowly pushes up, and Kirk rushes in with a leaping knee strike in the corner! Jay winces out in pain, and Kirk slowly pulls him out. He takes him by the head, lifting him vertically— Jay floats over, trying to apply a rear naked choke hold!
Jake Mercer: Kirk reaches for the ropes, his eyes widening! Jay wants to put him to sleep— he wraps his arms around his waist! ANOTHER SAITO SUPLEX! No! Jay releases the grip on Kirk’s head as he’s been lifted and floats over, taking Kirk down with a sunset flip! But before the referee can make a count, Kirk rolls through! He takes Jay by the ankle and flips him onto his stomach. Kirk wastes no time, hooking Jay in a waist lock and he deadlifts him up for a german suplex!
Stew-O: Just like earlier, Jay wraps his legs around Kirk in a wheelbarrow and drags him down— NO! Kirk plants his legs this time and holds onto Jay, leaving him upside down! Jay expression turns to shock as Kirk holds onto him, slowly hoisting him up into a WHEELBARROW GERMAN SUPLEX! JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS DOWN! Kirk Redwood rubs the back of his head, breathing heavily!
Flannery McCoy: Both of these men are quickly learning from their past mistakes! They’re taking note of what the other has been doing! This has been one hell of a chess match, and come to think of it, there’s still more to go! Kirk rises to his feet, pumping his fist. He pulls Jay up and drags him to the center of the ring. He double underhooks the arms, calling for the BRAINDEAD BUS—
Jake Mercer: Jay sways the arms down! Kirk approaches him, trying to grab ahold of him but Jay cracks him with a back elbow! And then he follows up with a tough right hook to the jaw! AND WINDS BACK INTO A MIGHTY LARIAT!! HE CALLS THAT COMBINATION THE KNOCKOUT ARTIST, AND HE MAY HAVE SUCCEEDED IN PUTTING KIRK’S LIGHTS OUT! Jay crawls over, hooking the legs for the cover!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRR—
Stew-O: KICK OUT BY REDWOOD! Jay slaps the canvas! He rises up to his feet, staring down at Kirk. He leans on the ropes, waiting for Kirk to start rising… Jay nods his head, seeing victory in his sights once again! He hits off the ropes behind Kirk, wasting no time! Because as Kirk raises his head up—
Jake Mercer: Jay soars in the air, trying for the SPRECHOR CROSSLINE! But Kirk moves his body away just in time, and Jay misses the DDT! He falls flat onto his back, wheezing out in pain! Kirk takes the legs and intertwines them, rolling over into the COLLINS LOCK! He pulls back onto the legs in that sharpshooter-like hold! Jay cries out in agony, as Kirk is pulling hard on those legs! Jay shakes his head, trying to get free but he can’t! Kirk continues to pull, doing all that he can to tear apart the legs of Jay Jerry Johnson!
Flannery McCoy: He reaches for the ropes, but Jay isn’t close to them! They’re in the center of the ring! Kirk continues to apply pressure, trying to contort Jay’s knees as far back as he can! Jay runs his hands through his hair, yelling out in agony! He tries to push up— but Kirk just drops right down onto his back! Jay is yelling out, and he starts to dig his fingers into the canvas, scratching and clawing to get to that bottom rope!
Stew-O: Only for Kirk to pull him back again! Desperation is starting to creep in for Jay! He plants his hands on the canvas and begins to roll his body! Kirk twists over, trying to keep him laid flat— but Jay slaps him! He follows up with another and that pisses Kirk off! Kirk yells in Jay’s face, telling him to bring it on! He uses an arm to slap Jay now! He winds back another, but Jay used it as diversion! He catches the arm with one arm, and then he starts kicking at Kirk’s legs! He uses his other arm to trip Kirk over and he frees himself, rolling on top of Kirk!
Jake Mercer: Jay is now hammering down elbows to the shoulder of Kirk’s arm! He rolls him to his side and applies a deep headscissors! He twists the head, rolling over as he takes Kirk’s arm to apply a grounded fujiwara armbar! Kirk cries out in pain, as now the submissions are really in full effect from these two! Jay continues to apply torque to the arm, pulling back as far as he can! Kirk waves his free hand, trying his hardest to get free!
Stew-O: He’s trying— but wait a minute! All that rolling, Jay didn’t realize that they got closer to the ropes! Kirk shifts his body, barely seeing the ropes in his peripheral and he gets his foot on the bottom rope! The referee enforces a break and Jay rolls over, taking deep breaths. He takes the ropes as he tries to get up, while Kirk is still clutching at that arm. He takes the ropes and tries to rise, but Jay throws a middle kick to the shoulder!
Flannery McCoy: That pisses Kirk off, and he throws a NASTY SLAP! Jay’s knees buckle from underneath him! He staggers backwards, trying to get away— but Kirk catches him and lifts him for an exploder suplex- no! The pain in the arm is too much! Jay turns his back to Kirk and takes the bad arm, snapping Kirk’s elbow over his shoulder! Kirk cries out in pain, and Jay twirls under into a hammerlock! He transitions to an abdominal stretch while having the arm trapped in a hammerlock! Kirk’s other arm is trapped firmly around Jay’s neck, and now he has very few options right now!
Jake Mercer: How does one even think to do that?! Kirk is struggling, and Jay squats, putting all of his lower body into this submission! He tries to fall backwards, getting a grounded abdominal stretch— which could certainly give Kirk absolutely nowhere to go and end this match… But Kirk keeps fighting! He refuses to let Jay take him down, and now both of these men are tussling over the submission! Kirk struggles, and he thumps his forearm into the back of Jay’s head! It’s not much because his movement is being restricted with the arm around the head, but he still has the ability to keep ramming his arm into his head! It’s not doing as much damage as he wants, but Jay is starting to lose his focus by trying to work around that.. Jay steps forward, trying to use the momentum to make them fall backwards again!
Stew-O: But Kirk reaches around, pulling on Jay’s ear! Jay yells out in pain— that’s not illegal— technically, just a crafty move! Kirk uses that momentum, bouncing them off the ropes to free his bad arm from the hammerlock! He applies that headlock and steps forward, taking Jay down with a MASSIVE KOSHI GURUMA! JUDO THROW FROM HEADLOCK POSITION! AND JAY LOSES ALL OF HIS MOMENTUM, FLYING TO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: A what?!? How do you know what that is?! I— OH! Kirk has Jay in a grounded headlock and he’s throwing repeated punches to the forehead! Kirk has to let go, both men rolling away! Jay holds at his forehead, while Kirk is clutching at the bad arm that just lost him a great position. Jay is holding the head and the back with both of his arms, slowly rising up. And Kirk finds a burst of energy as he does, grabbing Jay from the side! He scoops him up, tossing him onto the back of his head with a big time EXPLODER SUPLEX! Down Jay goes again, and this time Kirk gets it! He’s holding at his arm though, that’s gotta be giving him a lot of discomfort! Jay rolls to the turnbuckles, gasping for air. The stamina and endurance is really being tested of Jay Jerry Johnson in his return match. Kirk Redwood slowly rises, falling back into the turnbuckles.
Stew-O: He nods profusely, pointing at Jay! Kirk runs across the ring, with a DEVASTATING HESITATION DROPKICK! Those boots get smashed right into the jaw of Jay Jerry Johnson! Kirk rises up afterwards and takes Jay by the hair, dragging him up to the center of the ring. He turns him around in a wrist clutch, booking the arm and head! He scoops him up— FOR THE BASTARDPLEX! IT CONNECTS, AND DESPITE THE PAIN IN HIS ARM, KIRK BRIDGES THE PINFALL! REFEREE TO THE COUNT!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: KICK OUT FROM JAY JERRY JOHNSON! JUST BARELY! Kirk Redwood rolls away, he thought he had that one! Jay got the shoulder up, but he’s not even moving after that! There’s still a chance to capitalize for Kirk if he’s willing to take it, but his arm is burning up, you can tell! That pain is starting to become unbearable and maybe if it didn’t hurt so much— he would’ve been able to successfully bridge the pinfall! Jay winces, staring up at the ceiling. Kirk looks around, and these men have absolutely been giving it their all.
Jake Mercer: He slowly rises, kicking at Jay’s head. Hardly any response from him, and Kirk nods. He limps past Jake, stepping out to the apron. This is a big risk that he’s about to make! He shakes out his arm, taking the top rope as he calls for Jay to get up! Kirk yells, over and over! He stomps the mat, lying in wait… Kirk stares at his arm, and there may be a bit of hesitation, but he’s got no choice! Kirk takes the ropes and he springboards up!
Stew-O: KIRK DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE INTO .50 CAL— JAY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! HE CAPTURES THE ARM AND CHARGES FORWARD, ONLY TO FLIP BACKWARDS IN THE AIR- PHILOSOPHY IN A TEA CUP! THE SOMERSAULT REVERSE DDT CONNECTS! KIRK SPIKES ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK! He’s out of it and Jay drops back, hooking the legs for the cover!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: IT’S OVER!
Flannery McCoy: NOOOO! KIRK REDWOOD KICKS OUT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! WHAT A MATCH THIS HAS BEEN!
Stew-O: Jay Jerry Johnson can’t believe his very eyes! And the crowd is on fire right now! This has been one hell of a way to get the show started, and everyone in Toronto is alive!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! 👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏
Jake Mercer: Jay slowly works his way up, but his knees buckle and he falls to the ropes! The damage Kirk did to his legs earlier are still being felt, and I can’t imagine leaving his feet in the manner he did helped out! Kirk rolls over, trying to figure out where he’s at. Jay rises, approaching Kirk. He pulls him up, looking around… Jay takes deep breaths, only for Kirk to push his arm away and SLAP THE HELL OUT OF HIM! Jay wobbles, but he follows up with an elbow to the jaw! He chops Kirk! And Kirk chops him back! Jay chops Kirk, so Kirk fires up repeated chops! He winds back a palm strike right after! Jay wobbles, trying to cover up! Kirk is doing all of this with one arm! Kirk sees Jay wobbling and he hits off the ropes quickly for a LARIAT—
Stew-O: JAY LEAPS INTO A FLYING TRIANGLE CHOKE! BUT HOLD ON!!! KIRK ROLLS THROUGH, DEADLIFTING JAY UP IN THE AIR! JAY WASN’T EXPECTING THIS! HIS EYES WIDEN AS HE THROWS 12-6 ELBOWS WHILE BEING HOISTED UP— THEY DON’T HAVE THE IMPACT HE WANTS AS HE SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A MIGHTY POWERBOMB! Kirk falls into the turnbuckles, in shock! Jay is down and out!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk wobbles over to Jay, shaking out his arm. He drags him up and hooks the waist, starting to lift him upside down. He looks around, but that arm is hurting him! He has to drop Jay to the side and pulls onto his arm! Kirk starts PUNCHING HIS SHOULDER! He lets out a fiery war cry, and drags Jay up. He tilt a whirls him upside down in position for DOWN! TO! HE—
Jake Mercer: JAY FLIPS IT UPSIDE DOWN! HE SPINS INTO A NON-PUMPHANDLE VARIATION OF YKHM LAST LOVE!!! HE PLANTS KIRK ONTO THE CANVAS! BUT JAY DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER! HE KNOWS THAT IT’LL TAKE MORE OUT OF HIM TO WIN THIS MATCH!
Stew-O: He pulls Kirk up, dropping to a squat. He takes the head underneath the legs of Kirk and hoists him upside down! Jay looks around, nodding his head profusely! AND HE JUMPS INTO HEAVEN’S FEEL! RIGHT ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! JAY CRIES OUT IN PAIN, HOLDING AT HIS HURT KNEES! HE CAN’T EVEN GET A FULL COVER! KIRK REDWOOD IS OUT COLD! JAY DROPS TO THE SIDE, PLACING HIS BODY AGAINST HIM!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner of this match, JAY! JERRY! JOHNSOOOONNNN!!
(‘Mayoi Uta (Song of the Lost Star)’ by MyGO!!!!! hits the speakers and Jay Jerry Johnson rolls off of Kirk Redwood, pulling his kneepad down to tend to the hurt knee. The referee helps him up and raises his arm up. Jay nods his head, extremely satisfied with his return victory. Kirk Redwood is being tended to, while Jay limps to the ropes. He steps out of the ring and stands on the apron, embracing the moment by extending his arms out.)
Jake Mercer: Jay Jerry Johnson promised to make an impact in his return and he did just exactly that! There was a lot at stake for both men, and Jay Jerry Johnson made sure to make a statement even though Kirk Redwood desperately sought out the same exact thing.
Stew-O: You’ve gotta give it to Kirk. He made Jay work for the win tonight and it was extremely close at many points. This really could’ve gone either way, but it was that work Jay did to Kirk’s arm that saved him from losing tonight.
Flannery McCoy: He had the stronger game plan— and he gets to celebrate victory because of it. But game plan aside, this was all about grit! Jay showed that he could handle the ring rust and now I’m excited to see what’s next for him!
(Jay looks proud after having a triumphant return. He has a slight smile on his face, and that’s the last shot before Dynasty fades elsewhere.)
(A commercial plays for The Game Awards.)
(Dynasty would come back on air as it pans to the ring as Kensingten Calhoun-Aster and Richard Grant were already in the ring. They had a hyped expression written across their face, as they were just brainstorming ideas to make Dynasty the cool and great place they wish it to be!)
Kensingten Calhoun-Aster: So, it’s time for us to bring back one of the most fond EAW traditions.
Richard Grant: Roundabout, a true career maker. I look at the last few years of the match, and I see current champions plopped into AWs landscape. Hans Grayson, BRAE, then you have competitors like Solomon Stane, and much more! This match always brings us up to standard, and shows who the very best of tomorrow may just be.
Kensingten Calhoun-Aster: But all in the same; it’s a badge of honor. One of LAW’s many all time greats, Extreme Enigma. Every year this match is to give a level of respect to him for his contributions to EAW. And in a way, his spirit is still constantly guiding a light, giving a new generation a platform. And as you already know; the winner will be presented a sweet little victory reward!
(Kensingten said with a bright smile, as the Extreme Enigma battle royal didn’t need much to sell it home, but they were going the next level to truly hit that aspect.)
Richard Grant: And I just wanna put EMPHASIS on that fact. The winner will be gifted a really great surprise, and the stakes are gonna be upped. So why wouldn’t you already want to have a prestigious accolade next to your name? Then, you wanna go up a bar, and hit the highest bidder even more! So, with that stated I want to invite some of the best young Elitists that our Dynasty has to offer.
(Kensingten had a paper in her hand, as she read it off.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Aster: To Clayton Golde, Isaac Crowe, Jay Starr, Nejari Young…. could you all please come out here..?
(Inviting all of those Elitists to the ring was a choice of interest, but quickly that was interrupted as the first theme song hit.)
(“Betty” by Yung Gravy hit the speakers as Clayton Golde was out first. This would be his 2nd time in the match, and he wasted no time making his way out, shooting the thumbs up to the executives of Dynasty!)
Stew-O: Clayton Golde is the first man to make his way out here, and this’ll be his 2nd year in a row competing in the match! I’m sure he’s excited for a chance to have some redemption.
Flannery McCoy: Not only that, but this is after a year of being an Elitist. It’s safe to say he’s only fueled up more and more by what he’s seen over this last year!
Jake Mercer: Well, hang on a second though!
(Clayton Golde was cut off, as “Give It Away” by Red Hot Chili Peppers played. Jay Starr was here to take the spotlight off Clayton Golde, who was clearly upset.)
Stew-O: You can see that atmosphere of disrespect there, but Clayton is keeping his chill!
Flannery McCoy: You don’t wanna do anything here and cost yourself a spot in the match, that’s my perspective.
Jake Mercer: Exactly, don’t be an idiot.
(Clayton watched as Jay Starr now joined aside him, as the presence of other Elitists was building up! And well; “Carnival” blared through the arena as Nejari Young made his hyped up and energetic way to the ring.)
Stew-O: The Walking Main Event wants to take that Extreme Enigma honor up to the main event, and you can sense that determination and energy in every step he takes!
Flannery McCoy: This match seems to be super competitive so far..
Jake Mercer: But experience is definitely going to be what stands out in this match; trust me.
(As Nejari stood next to the two, officially making them a trio.. one more theme would play. “Unreal” blared through the speakers, as Isaac Crowe wasted zero time given them a chance to think.)
Stew-O: And here is one of the more inspired Elitists here on Dynasty! Isaac Crowe. He has been a different version of himself since the lead up for House Of Glass, and I think this only continues towards 2025.
Flannery McCoy: Isaac is one of the very many good picks in this match. But, I just dunno yet!
Jake Mercer: I think it’s gonna be difficult to get him over that top rope, at the very least.
(Isaac stood next to them, as Richard and Kensingten were now excited to see all of the people here.)
Richard Grant: Now that we have all of you here, if it was not any obvious. Yes! You all will partake in the match. So we just want to congratulate all of you with that high honor.
(All of them nodded, as they were looking at their competition. Some more enthusiastic than others.. But all of them were excited for the honor that gave them.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Aster: But we are stacking this field up! Because as well; the losers of the Specialists Championship match, the New Breed Championship match and the Universal Women’s Championship qualifying matches will also be added into it! And also to clarify; Vincent Mondrian will be present in the match as well. Should he lose to Hans later on tonight!
Richard Grant: We just wanna stress the importance though of what this match means. And why you all were chosen; we know you can give your very best. And that is what we want. Very best.
Kensingten Calhoun-Aster: And then a little bit more after that, because whoever wins this match will be a made man or woman for life!!
Richard Grant: It will show that aside from winning, who’s the wolf amongst the puppies! Who can go the furthest in this EAW landscape!
(Clayton, Isaac, Nejari and Jay all nodded. As each of them were soaking in what this match meant.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Aster: Now we ask if peacefully you all could exit one by one!
Richard Grant: Peacefully, please!
(They all would slowly exit one by one, but not before giving a memo to the others. This match was serious, and there was tensions at a maximum.)
Stew-O: There is some heavy tension there between these individuals, and all I can say is; it’s only gonna get more and more interesting.
Flannery McCoy: Some of the greatest Elitists never even gotta win this battle royal. Surely all of them are gonna topple over the others for a shot at history.
Jake Mercer: This one is gonna be interesting, as it usually is tradition in EAW. The best of the best will flourish!
(With that stated, the scene would come to a close as the Dynasty went elsewhere.)

(‘Notorious’ by UPSAHL plays throughout the Scotiabank Arena as the crowd rises up for Mia Santoro. She walks out, oozing confidence, talking her shit as she poses for the crowd.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL –
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!
Stephie Love: …AND, IT’S FOR THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! INTRODUCING FIRST…THE CHALLENGER…FROM KEY WEST, FLORIDA…SHE IS ‘LA DESPERADA’…MIA SANTORO!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: At House of Glass, Mia Santoro was one of the contenders to compete for the New Breed Championship. She fell short in the conquest to capture the title, but tonight, she has another opportunity at a championship. This time, it’s the Specialists Championship. But, will she get the job done tonight?
Stew-O: Mia Santoro is aware that these last few months, she’s not where she wants to be. I think that she anticipated this season to turn around for her. She’s had a couple of championship opportunities, but failed at capturing the title. To her, she should be champion. Each shot at the title, Mia gets a bit stronger. That’s something that Daniella Atlas will have to look out for. Mia gets hungrier and hungrier with every opportunity presented to her. She’s a scrappy young woman. Someone who is not afraid to get down and dirty.
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro feels in her heart, she’ll be the one to dethrone Daniella Atlas and humble her. While Daniella may present herself as unbeatable, that doesn’t mean that Daniella can’t be beaten. That’s the hope that many women, who are challenging for the Specialists Championship are holding onto. Will Daniella be defeated tonight at Super Dynasty?
(Mia Santoro finds herself holding onto the ropes and going back to stretch herself before pacing inside the ring, ready for the champion. ‘Vortex’ by Jinjer replaces her entrance music as Daniella Atlas comes out to a chorus of boos. Daniella comes out with a purpose, more than confident that she has this match in the back. She looks all meniacing as she surveys the crowd. The Specialists Championship is glistening around her waist. The main purpose of this match.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM DUNKIRK, FRANCE…SHE IS THE CURRENT EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… ‘THE BLACK FLAME’ …DANIELLA ATLAS!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Here comes Daniella Atlas! Daniella won the title at Territorial Invasion back in September from the former champion, KASAI. She defeated Saori Aizen back at House of Glass. Now, she walks into her second title defense against the woman who has had a couple of opportunities at championships, especially, the Specialist Champuonship in the past.
Stew-O: Mia Santoro has found herself in this situation. But, is this the night that it all comes together for Mia? At the same time, you need to consider how much of a strong competitor that Daniella Atlas is. She seems more than confident that this match will lean in her direction. We all saw last week when Mia was backstage, speaking her heart out about her journey so far. Daniella laughed in her face. The disrespect that the Specialists Champion has for the challenger. Treating her like she’s nothing to worry about.
Flannery McCoy: There’s probably some people in the EAW Universe who are looking to see Daniella Atlas being knocked down a peg or two tonight. Is Mia going to be the woman to do that? We’re going to see that right now!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: Daniella Atlas. Mia Santoro. Specialists Championship on the line. The two women are circling around, staring each other down. They have their hands up, ready to lock up as…they lock up! Mia twists the arm of Daniella to her back, going for a wrist lock, BUT DANIELLA MANAGES TO GET MIA AND JUDO THROW HER FORWARD FROM BEHIND! But, Daniella has possession of Mia’s arm as she looks to apply a standing armbar! But, Mia manages to turn herself around and look to kick Daniella away from her!
Stew-O: This creates a bit of distance between the challenger and champion. Mia Santoro scoots herself back as she grabs onto the ropes behind her, lifting herself up. Her eyes never leave Daniella Atlas, who looks more than hungry to resume this match. Mia felt a bit of that strength from the Specialists Champion. I think that she’s more aware that she needs to be cautious there. She finds herself in a fighting stance as she goes right after Daniella, who gets into a fighting stance herself. A calmer demeanor in the eyes of the champion versus the challenger, who seems to be a bit cautious about getting herself into this situation.
Flannery McCoy: That’s a great observation there, Stew. Mia Santoro and Daniella Atlas lock up again. Once more, we see Daniella overpowering Mia as she slowly backs up the challenger to the corner. Daniella begins to connect with a boxing combination to the ribs of Mia! Now, these punches look quite intense here! Mia is trying to cover her ribs, but Daniella is nailing each shot! Then, she grabs Mia by her arm, looking to whip her to the corner diagonally from her! Mia’s spine collides with the turnbuckle, but she manages to get her hand on each side of the set of ropes! Daniella goes right after Mia with a running uppercut —
Jake Mercer: BUT, MIA SANTORO CONNECTS WITH A DOUBLE KICK TO THE SPINE OF DANIELLA ATLAS WHICH KNOCKS HER TO HER KNEES! Then, we see Mia getting in front of Daniella and connecting with a basement dropkick as that takes the champion to her back! Mia goes for the first pin fall attempt of the match!
ONE!
Stew-O: DANIELLA ATLAS MANAGES TO SHOVE MIA SANTORO OFF OF HER! BUT, MIA PLANS TO STAY ON THE DEFENSIVE BY GETTING ON TOP OF DANIELLA, CONNECTING WITH A SERIES OF LEFT AND RIGHT PUNCHES TO THE FACE! Daniella seems to overpower Mia, forcing the challenger off of her, but Mia goes right after Daniella, proceeding to stomp her to the ground, making sure that she keeps the champion down! Still, we see that Daniella is finding herself into a crawling position as she tries to force herself up, BUT MIA RUNS RIGHT AFTER DANIELLA, CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING NECK BREAKER AS SHE GOES FOR THE PIN FALL ATTEMPT ON DANIELLA!
ONE! TWO!
Flannery McCoy: Daniella Atlas with a kick out! It’s going to truly be difficult to keep someone like Daniella down! That woman refuses to stay down! Mia Santoro is going to need to try EVERYTHING in the book to keep a woman like Daniella down! Mia manages to get Daniella from behind as she lifts her up and connects with a snap dragon suplex, but she has a gorgeous bridge applied! She goes for a pin fall attempt!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWW—
Jake Mercer: Daniella Atlas manages to flip her body back as she gets to her knees! BUT, LOOK AT THIS, FLANN AND STEW! DANIELLA MANAGES TO LIFT MIA SANTORO UP AS WE SEE THAT SHE’S APPLYING A CHOKEHOLD ON THE CHALLENGER! You can see the panic on Mia’s face as she manages to grab onto the top rope, forcing a rope break! Daniella manages to create separation! While she does have the champion’s advantage, she doesn’t want to retain it in that fashion! It’s a sense of pride that we see time after time again. I don’t blame her whatsoever. The referee steps aside, allowing for this match to resume as Daniella goes to retrieve a Mia who is checking on her neck, BUT MIA CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK AS THAT KNOCKS DANIELLA TO A KNEE! MIA FOLLOWS THAT WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! ‘TWO FOR THE ROAD’ IS WHAT MIA LIKES TO CALL THAT!
Stew-O: THIS KNOCKS DANIELLA ATLAS BACK AS MIA SANTORO GETS HERSELF ON TOP OF DANIELLA AS SHE BEGINS TO PUMMEL THE CHAMPION WITH LEFT AND RIGHT FISTS TO THE FACE! SHE BEGINS TO JAB HER ELBOW TO THE FOREHEAD OF THE CHAMPION BEFORE FORCING HER TO HER KNEES! MIA PULLS DANIELLA INTO A FRONT HEADLOCK BEFORE —ELEVATED DDT! DANIELLA GETS PLANTED ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! MIA BEGINS TO GET HERSELF TO HER FEET AS SHE RUNS TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! BUT, MIA FLIPS RIGHT BEHIND DANIELLA, WHO WAS BEGINNING TO RISE TO HER FEET! SHE CONNECTS WITH AN INVERTED DDT ON THE CHAMPION! The champion goes down as Mia begins to take a couple steps behind Daniella! I’m not sure how Daniella is finding herself up to her feet, but Mia runs right after Daniella and connects with a rolling wheel kick. I believe that Mia calls that ‘Killing Moon’ as it knocks Daniella down!
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro is looking for that top turnbuckle. I think that she fully understands how valuable it will be for her to conclude this match right now rather than have it drag on longer. When you have someone like Daniella Atlas down, end this match as soon as possible. We’ve seen Mia connect with this move on a couple occasions with various results, but this is normally how she likes to end this match. The diving leg drop is called ‘Chase the Feeling’ as she looks to deliver it on Daniella!
Jake Mercer: NO! WE SEE THAT DANIELLA ATLAS IS RISING BACK TO HER FEET! SHE IS GOING RIGHT AFTER MIA SANTORO ON THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE! YOU CAN SEE A BIT OF PANIC ON MIA’S FACE AS DANIELLA IS LOOKING TO FIND HERSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! MIA BEGINS TO THROW A PUNCH TO DANIELLA IN HOPES TO KNOCK HER DOWN! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE THAT IT ONLY TAKES HER DOWN A NOTCH AS SHE BEGINS TO FIND HER WAY BACK UP! MIA BEGINS TO THROW A KICK TO DANIELLA’S FACE, BUT DANIELLA MANAGES TO CATCH THE FOOT OF THE CHALLENGER! I THINK THAT MIA BELIEVES THAT SHE MAY HAVE MESSED UP HERE! DANIELLA, WITH A HOOK OF MIA’S LEG, CONNECTS WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX FROM THE TOP ROPE! :damn: BOTH OF THESE WOMEN GO CRASHING DOWN!
Stew-O: But, Daniella Atlas is the one that begins to crawl over to Mia Santoro and go for a pin attempt!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro with a kick out! Daniella Atlas picks up the challenger with a fist full of her hair. Daniella begins to connect with a series of knees to the face of Mia as that knocks her to a knee. Then, we see Daniella knocking Mia back with a knee strike! She gets right on top of Mia and connects with a series of right elbow to the face of the challenger! Mia is doing everything she can to shield her face, but Daniella is nailing her with each one! She pulls Mia forward as the two women are up! She gets Mia by her arm and throws her forward to the corner behind the champion! MIA COLLIDES CHEST-FIRST TO THE TURNBUCKLE! DANIELLA GOES RIGHT AFTER MIA WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE BACK OF MIA’S NECK AS SHE COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND! DANIELLA BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH RIGHT STOMPS TO THE CHEST OF MIA! SHE HOLDS IT THERE FOR A MOMENT AND FORCES THE REFEREE TO COUNT!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF OF HER, DANIELLA!
Jake Mercer: Daniella Atlas looked at the referee like she was ready to rip that referee a part right on the spot! Daniella turns her attention back to Mia Santoro! She grabs Mia by her neck and forces her up to her feet! Daniella takes a stance before sending herself forward with a knife edge chop to Mia’s chest! This causes Mia to howl in pain as she clutches to her chest, but Daniella gets Mia’s hand off of her chest before delivering another harsh knife edge chop to Mia’s chest! This causes Mia to collapse to a seated position! Daniella grabs Mia by her waist before taking her back with a sambo suplex as Mia gets slammed to the ground! NOW, WE SEE MIA CLUTCHING HER SPINE AS DANIELLA FORCES MIA BACK TO HER FEET — SPINNING BACK ELBOW AS THAT TAKES MIA DOWN!
Stew-O: I think that Daniella Atlas might be on the verge of retaining the Specialists Championship! She grabs Mia Santoro as she takes her up! We’re going to be seeing that pump handle drop — ‘South of Heaven!’ NO! MIA SLIDES OFF THE BACK OF DANIELLA AS SHE PUSHES THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! SHE ROLLS UP DANIELLA! MIA IS HOPING TO STEAL THE VICTORY HERE! BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE TO THE O’CONNOR ROLL! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT HERE?!?!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWW—
Flannery McCoy: DANIELLA ATLAS MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF OUT, BUT SHE HAS MIA SANTORO BY HER WAIST AS SHE TAKES HER BACK WITH A DEADLIFT RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! Now, that was quite impressive there! But, Mia manages to find herself to her knees! I don’t think that Daniella was quite expecting that! Mia finds herself to her knees as Daniella turns herself around! Mia looks for a ‘Killing Moon,’ BUT DANIELLA MANAGES TO CATCH THE FOOT OF HER CHALLENGER! I THINK THAT MIA MIGHT BE REGRETTING THAT FOR A SECOND! BUT, MIA CONNECTS WITH AN ENZIGURI AS THAT TAKES THE CHAMPION STUMBLING TO HER SIDE! MIA FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SPIKED HURRICANRANA DRIVER AS DANIELLA’S FACE IS CAVED AGAINST THE CANVAS! MIA QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWW—
Jake Mercer: Daniella Atlas with a kick out! Mia Santoro gets Daniella up to her feet as she begins to lift her up! I think that Mia is going for that gut wrench backstabber — ‘Safe Passage!’ It’s another finisher from the challenger as she looks to execute the gut wrench part of the move! BUT, INSTEAD, IT’S DANIELLA THAT MANAGES TO COUNTER AN AIR RAID CRASH ON MIA! Now, what a counter there! Daniella was more than ready for Mia to attempt that finisher there! Mia rolls herself underneath the bottom rope and finds herself recovering on the apron. I think that is smart for Mia to do! Daniella is just too strong! BUT, DANIELLA IS NOT LOOKING TO WASTE ANY TIME AS SHE RUNS TOWARDS MIA WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK, BUT MIA MANAGES TO SPIN HERSELF AROUND AS DANIELLA TOTALLY MISSES THAT AND FINDS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING! Mia uses the middle rope to help pick herself up! You can see that she’s still impacted by that air raid crash that Daniella had given her just moments ago! Daniella takes a moment or two to process the situation around her!
Stew-O: BUT, THAT WAS TOO LONG AS MIA SANTORO MANAGED TO CONNECT WITH A PENALTY KICK TO DANIELLA ATLAS’ FACE — NO! DANIELLA MANAGES TO CATCH MIA SANTORO BY THE LEG! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE MIA WAS READY FOR THAT AS SHE MANAGES TO JUMP RIGHT ONTO DANIELLA, CONNECTING WITH A HURRICANRANA AS DANIELLA FINDS HERSELF SPIKED TO THE STEEL RING POST! Wonderful ring awareness by Mia! Daniella drops herself down to her knees! I wouldn’t be shocked if Daniella has a huge bump on her forehead! That did not look good! BUT, DANIELLA CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK AS DANIELLA GOES BACK TO THE BARRICADE! NOW, MIA IS GOING RIGHT AFTER THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION WITH STOMPS TO THE FACE! MIA WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT DANIELLA STAYS DOWN! THE REFEREE IS BEING A BIT LAID BACK IN THIS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH. HE’S ALLOWING FOR THE TWO WOMEN TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER!
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro grabs the top of Daniella Atlas’ head and slams her face first against the floor! But, we see that Mia is balancing herself on top of the barricade! SHE WAITS FOR DANIELLA TO BEGIN RISING TO HER FEET AS MIA JUMPS OFF AND CONNECTS WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE SPINE AS THAT PLOPS DANIELLA BACK TO THE FLOOR! MIA BEGINS TO GET DANIELLA IN A FRONT HEADLOCK AND I’M NOT TOO SURE WHAT MIA SEEMS TO HAVE IN MIND, BUT SHE HOOKS DANIELLA BY HER LEG AND GOES FOR THAT SWINGING FISHERMAN’S NECK BREAKER ‘BLACKEST HOUR,’ BUT DANIELLA GETS FLIPPED ONTO THE EDGE OF THE APRON FOR THE LANDING! YIKES! MIA BEGINS TO GET DANIELLA ON THE APRON. MIA IS ADJUSTING DANIELLA’S BODY SO THAT HER HEAD AND UPPER HALF OF HER BODY IS DANGLING ON THE OUTSIDE. NOW, WE SEE MIA HEADING FOR THE TOP TURNBUCKLE. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS MIA LOOKING TO DO HERE??!
Jake Mercer: All for the sake of becoming Specialists Champion, Flannery! MIA SANTORO WANTS THAT SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP AS SHE JUMPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! ‘CHASE THE FEELING’ FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TO DANIELLA ATLAS AS THAT TAKES BOTH WOMEN DOWN! DANIELLA CRASHES DOWN ON HER NECK! YOU CAN SEE THE LOOK ON DANIELLA’S FACE, WHICH TELLS THE ENTIRE STORY! MIA CONNECTED WITH HER FINISHER ON DANIELLA, BUT IT WAS SO UNPLEASANT AT THE SAME TIME! THE REFEREE IS CHECKING ON BOTH WOMEN AND I THINK THAT WE NEED TO GET A REPLAY OF THAT. CAN SOMEONE PULL UP THAT FOOTAGE?
(REPLAY: A slow motion of Mia Santoro on the top turnbuckle, connecting with ‘Chase the Feeling’ to Daniella Atlas, who has her head/upper body dangling off the apron to the outside as the impact of that diving leg drop causes for her neck to land painfully at ringside.)
(The scene returns back to ringside. The referee is checking on both the challenger, Mia Santoro and the champion, Daniella Atlas. Daniella seems to be in an immense amount of pain as Mia finds herself to her knees. She looks at Daniella and realizes that she has the champion exactly where she wants her.)
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro gets to her feet and from there, you can see that her right thigh was impacted by that ‘Chase the Feeling,’ but she is putting on her best poker face possible! She can’t let Daniella Atlas know that she’s in pain. She gets Daniella and rolls her back inside the ring. Shortly after, Mia rolls herself back inside the ring as she crawls over to cover Daniella! Is this going to be what it takes to win her the Specialists Championship on Super Dynasty?
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRR—
(A huge shriek from Mia Santoro is heard.)
Jake Mercer: DANIELLA ATLAS WITH A SHOULDER UP! MIA SANTORO CAN’T SEEM TO BELIEVE IT! She thought that she had Daniella there! ‘Blackest Hour’/ ‘Chase the Feeling’ combination was not enough to secure her the Specialists Championship! Mia needs to remember to calm down and focus on the goal. She can’t get so easily upset. Mia gets right on top of the champion as she begins to connect with a series of left and right punches. She is doing everything she can to make sure that Daniella stays down. Then, she gets herself to her feet as she is clutching to that right thigh of her’s, but she continues on through all that pain. SHE GETS DANIELLA BY THE NAPE OF HER NECK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER ‘BLACKEST HOUR!’
Stew-O: But, Daniella Atlas manages to spin herself out of the move before kicking Mia Santoro in the stomach, pulling her in a front headlock and — no! MIA MANAGES TO BATTERY RAM DANIELLA INTO THE ROPES! THERE, WE SEE MIA CONNECTING WITH SOME SHOULDER THRUSTS TO THE RIBS OF THE CHAMPION! BUT, DANIELLA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A COUPLE OF PUNCHES TO THE SPINE OF HER CHALLENGER! MIA IS DOING EVERYTHING THAT SHE CAN TO BE UNFAZED BY IT, BUT SHE MANAGES TO WRAP HER ARMS AROUND MIA AND SHE SWITCHES POSITIONS, SO THAT MIA HAS HER BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! NOW, WE SEE DANIELLA BEGINNING TO THROW SOME KNEES TO THE RIBS OF MIA! MIA COLLAPSES DOWN AS DANIELLA PICKS UP MIA BY HER ARM AND GOES FOR ‘INAMORATA’ — THE RIPCORD LARIAT AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: But, Daniella Atlas is not done yet! She still has possession of Mia Santoro’s arm! Daniella goes for another ripcord lariat, BUT MIA DUCKS IT! I’M NOT SURE IF MIA DUCKED IT BECAUSE SHE COULDN’T KEEP HERSELF UP OR SHE KNEW THAT DANIELLA WANTED TO GO FOR THE MOVE! REGARDLESS, IT MAY HAVE SAVED HER CHANCES OF HAVING THIS MATCH END THERE! DANIELLA TRIES TO YANK UP MIA AND PULLS HER CLOSER FOR ANOTHER RIPCORD LARIAT, BUT MIA POPS OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A STEP UP ENZIGURI AS THAT KNOCKS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION TO HER KNEE! MIA WAS ABLE TO PULL THAT OUT OF NOWHERE AND I THINK IT MAY HAVE SAVED HER ENTIRELY! NOW, SHE BEGINS TO GRAB DANIELLA INTO POSITION FOR A TRIANGLE CHOKE! ‘HELLBENT’ IS WHAT MIA IS ATTEMPTING TO APPLY! IF MIA CAN LOCK THIS IN, DANIELLA MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE!
Jake Mercer: I think that Daniella Atlas is aware of that, Flann! Wait, look at this! I can’t seem to believe it, BUT DANIELLA MANAGES TO LIFT MIA SANTORO OFF HER FEET! I THINK THAT SHE MAY HAVE HER CHALLENGER IN PERFECT POSITION FOR ‘SOUTH OF HEAVEN’ AS MIA IS SHAKING HER HEAD NO! SHE KNOWS THAT SHE IS IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE AT THE MOMENT! ‘SOUTH OF HEAVEN’ CONNECTS!
Stew-O: NO! MIA SANTORO HAS DANIELLA ATLAS APPLIED WITH A CRUCIFIX ARMBAR! ‘ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE’ IS APPLIED AS SHE CATCHES THE CHAMPION OFF GUARD WITH HER SUBMISSION MOVE! DANIELLA SEEMS SO CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE MOVE! THE CHAMPION IS IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE AS SHE IS LOOKING AROUND, WONDERING WHAT EXACTLY SHE SHOULD BE DOING? MIA IS YELLING FOR DANIELLA TO SUBMIT! SHE IS YELLING FOR DANIELLA TO QUIT! BUT, DANIELLA MANAGES TO ROLL OFF AS SHE LOOKS TO COUNTER WITH A ROLL UP ON MIA!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO! MIA SANTORO MANAGES TO KEEP ‘ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE’ APPLIED! DANIELLA ATLAS MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER APPROACH AS SHE IS TURNING TO HER SIDE AS SHE LOOKS TO GET TO THAT BOTTOM ROPE! There’s a clear struggle on Daniella’s face, but Daniella seems determined to move! She is using all of her strength to make it to that bottom rope! Mia can feel her grasp slipping away from her as she realizes that Daniella is getting closer to that bottom rope! She releases the hold as she looks to pull Daniella back, but Daniella manages to take advantage of that slight second of separation and gets her hand on that bottom rope! She demands for the referee to keep Mia back, so that she can get herself back up to her feet! Mia is demanding for Daniella to get herself up to her feet! Mia is feeling quite fired up!
Jake Mercer: Daniella Atlas is telling the referee to hold her back as she’s slowly getting herself to her feet! Daniella is clutching to the rope as Mia Santoro cannot handle the anticipation any more! She races forward towards Daniella and begins to unload on a series of left and right punches everywhere to the champion! Mia is feeling quite chaotic at the moment as you can tell with how she’s throwing these punches! The referee is forcing Mia to go back, BUT MIA RUNS RIGHT AFTER DANIELLA WITH THE ROLLING WHEEL KICK — ‘KILLING MOON’ ONCE MORE AS THAT KNOCKS DANIELLA DOWN! NOW, MIA IS FEELING QUITE ON FIRE AT THE MOMENT AS SHE HAS THE CHAMPION ON HER KNEES BEFORE APPLYING A SLEEPER HOLD ON DANIELLA! I THINK THAT SHE MAY BE LOOKING TO MAKE THE CHAMPION SUBMIT HERE!
Stew-O: Mia Santoro can feel the Specialists Championship in her grasp, but will this dragon sleeper be the move to make sure that it does? Mia locks in the move, but Daniella Atlas is beginning to find her way to her feet! With all the strength and what Daniella has been through, Daniella still has the power to continue through all of that! But, Mia gets on the back of the champion! She is looking to apply a sleeper hold on the champion, BUT DANIELLA GRABS MIA WITH A FIST FULL OF HER HAIR AS SHE YANKS THE CHALLENGER FORWARD! BUT, MIA MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET! BUT, DANIELLA MANAGES TO KICK THE BACK OF MIA’S RIGHT THIGH! IT’S THE SAME RIGHT THIGH THAT MIA LANDED ON BACK WHEN SHE LANDED ON IT WHEN CONNECTING WITH ‘CHASE THE FEELING’ TO DANIELLA ON THE APRON! MIA SEEMS TO BE IN A WORLD OF PAIN AT THE MOMENT AS DANIELLA CAN SMELL BLOOD IN THE WATER!
Flannery McCoy: Now, we see that Daniella Atlas begins to lift up Mia Santoro before dropping her down with a Niagara driver! ‘Animus’ connects as she has Mia there for another pin fall attempt!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHH—
Jake Mercer: No! Mia Santoro with a kick out! Daniella Atlas tilts her head to the side and realizes that this may be the end of Mia right here! But, she begins to rise back to her feet as she takes a couple steps back! Daniella begins to stalk Mia up to her feet! It’s taking Mia some time to get herself into a vertical base as she —DANIELLA GOES RUNNING RIGHT TOWARDS MIA WITH THE DISCUS ELBOW TO THE BACK OF MIA’S HEAD! ‘BLACK DEATH’ TO MIA!
Stew-O: BUT, MIA SANTORO MANAGES TO DUCK ‘BLACK DEATH!’ SHE KNEW WHAT DANIELLA ATLAS WANTED TO DO! SHE IS ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE CHAMPION AS MIA CONNECTS WITH A SPRINGBOARD CUTTER AS SHE TAKES DANIELLA DOWN! NO! DANIELLA MANAGES TO CATCH MIA AS SHE FINDS HERSELF IN AN INVERTED POSITION AS DANIELLA POSITIONS HERSELF AND CONNECTS WITH A SWINGING REVERSE STO — ‘THE MEMORY ROOM’ CONNECTS! NO! MIA MANAGES TO TURN HERSELF OUT OF THE MOVE! SHE LANDS ON HER FEET AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK! DANIELLA MANAGES TO STUMBLE BACK AS MIA BEGINS TO BACK UP! SHE TAKES A MOMENT TO WAIT FOR HER TIMING BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AS SHE LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A WHEELBARROW DDT!
Flannery McCoy: NOT EXACTLY, STEW! DANIELLA ATLAS MANAGES TO KEEP MIA SANTORO IN THAT WHEELBARROW POSITION AS SHE MANAGES TO APPLY ‘HERMÈS LAW’ — THE MODIFIED STANDING CLOVERLEAF ON MIA! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COUNTER FROM THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! MIA WAS LOOKING FOR THAT WHEELBARROW DDT, BUT DANIELLA WAS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH HER SUBMISSION MOVE! MIA IS IN TROUBLE AS HER RIGHT THIGH IS REALLY FEELING THE IMPACT OF THE MOVE! MIA IS TRYING TO GET HER HANDS DOWN AS SHE DRAGS HERSELF TO THE BOTTOM ROPE! MIA IS DRAGGING FOR DEAR LIFE AS SHE HAS HER EYES ON THAT BOTTOM ROPE! SHE IS GETTING THERE AS —
Jake Mercer: DANIELLA ATLAS MANAGES TO PULL MIA SANTORO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! MIA FINDS HERSELF IN A TOTALLY VULNERABLE SITUATION! DANIELLA HAS THAT SUBMISSION MOVE LOCKED IN AS SHE SQUEEZES ‘HERMÈS LAW’ EVEN TIGHTER ON THE CHALLENGER! MIA IS CRYING OUT IN PAIN! DANIELLA IS ADDING MORE PRESSURE TO THAT RIGHT THIGH OF MIA AS SHE YANKS HER UP EVEN HIGHER! MIA IS UP IN THE AIR AS DANIELLA HAS THAT MOVE APPLIED IN FULL FORCE! MIA CAN’T GET HER HANDS DOWN! SHE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AS SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO! THE REFEREE IS ASKING MIA WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO?
Stew-O: AND, MIA SANTORO SUBMITS! SHE COULDN’T TAKE THE PAIN ANYMORE! DANIELLA ATLAS RETAINS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Vortex’ begins to play through the speakers once more. After a moment, Daniella Atlas releases the hold as she drops Mia Santoro down. The referee hands Daniella the Specialists Championship as she raises it victoriously.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…AND STILL EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION…DANIELLA ATLAS!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: An impressive match up between Mia Santoro and Daniella Atlas! It concludes with Daniella on top, still the Specialists Champion!
Jake Mercer: Amazing that Daniella Atlas managed to counter Mia Santoro’s wheelbarrow into a DDT with ‘Hermès Law’ before Mia could nail the DDT portion of the move! Absolutely brilliant!
Stew-O: Mia Santoro went out, hoping to right the wrong of a loss she suffered at the hands of Daniella Atlas earlier this season. She put on a fantastic performance, but it was a mix of some errors and her emotions getting the best of her that led her to this loss.
(Mia Santoro is seen sitting on the apron as she’s unwrapping her white wrist take and throwing it to the side. She’s being tended by the medical personnel, who are evaluating her right thigh. She seems clearly frustrated with herself that she fell short of winning.)
Flannery McCoy: Clearly frustrated here, but she lives to fight another week. Mia Santoro will bounce back. But, congratulations to Daniella Atlas on a successful title defense!
(Daniella Atlas is seen celebrating in the ring, raising the Specialists Championship in the air to a bunch of mixed reactions. With that, Dynasty fades to commercials.)
(A commercial plays for MaXXXine.)
(‘Blood, Milk and Sky’ by White Zombie plays. The lights grow dim slightly as Minerva walks out, serious as can be. No theatrics from her, even if the fans cheer loudly for her. She is only focused on one thing tonight, and she wants to be able to express everything with no distractions involved. A microphone is already within her grasp.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing at this time, EAW Hall of Famer… MIIIINEEEERVAAAAA!
Stew-O: Ever since House of Glass came and went, there has been a dramatic shift in Minerva. Something darker and troubled has been unearthed in no small thanks to Drake King. It led her to attack him on the Friday following, where we have not seen him since.
Jake Mercer: Minerva meant it when she said that she would stop at no length to get back at Drake for what he did to her. She proved that tenfold when she attacked him, but she isn’t through. Not by a long shot.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah. It’s like she snapped, but you can’t really blame her; all she wanted was to have some modicum of peace but she wasn’t afforded that. Now, she wants to rob Drake King of the same thing, but even then… even if she were to accomplish that… I don’t know if that will put her truly at ease.
(Inside the ring, her steely-set eyes look forward into nothingness. Her theme fades and the lights return to normal. The fans continue to cheer until she parts her lips to speak.)
Minerva: You know, when I attacked Drake King, I figured that my message would’ve gotten across to him clearly. Make him understand just how far he went and the consequences that would be awaiting him, for unlike him, when I go the distance to make sure an enemy of mine is fated to face their retribution, it is a warning rather than finality. After all, I am someone who has always handled their business inside the ring. Wronging me or otherwise, nothing will truly end until I am the one who has definitively beaten them inside this very ring. However, I suppose what I did to him imparted an even bigger influence onto him, because here we are, with no Drake King in sight after all this time, and it appears he has decided to continue licking his wounds like the coward he always has been. Typical.
(She scoffs, shaking her head.)
Minerva: That’s all he is. He casts stones at glass houses and then attempts to hide those same hands responsible for nah damage behind his back, akin to a child who doesn’t understand the true weight of consequences in this world. He’s never changed, yet in a course of a month, I have changed myself, more so against my own will, more so because of him and what he has done to me. He opened back old wounds and scars, undoing any progress I have made for myself, and yet here he is under the false presumption that he can do things the same way he has always done and expect to things to go smoothly for him this time. However, I showed him that was not going to be the case. Not anymore. He wasn’t going to play the blame game. He wasn’t going to act as if he’s impenetrable. He wasn’t going to ruin me and think that he can slip off into the night where he can finally focus on his own self-serving ambitions. He was going to rue the day he placed that branding iron on me again, and I was going to make sure that he would have to go through Hell himself in order to get that point across. That is why I said I was going to come after him. No matter what, there will be no end to this. He will not be afforded any kind of reprieve. He is going to suffer slowly, painfully, and he’s going to feel the weight of everything all at once. It is going to be brutal. Crushing. But a scum like him deserves no mercy to be shown his way. No… he deserves to feel absolutely helpless in all of this, and in some ways? He already is. Drake isn’t going to be able to keep whatever lingering hubris of his for much longer. I will capture it for myself and break it for the whole world to see, and he will know what true despair is for the first time in his miserable, pathetic, lowly life.
Minerva: It’s what he deserves. It’s been a long time — overdue, if I do say so myself. He and I never had a direct singles confrontation after everything that transpired, and House of Glass was meant to be the moment where I moved on from him. Past his transgressions, his pettiness, and his downright slimy ways. Yet here I stand, once again pulled into all of that and more, because I just couldn’t move in after everything. Not when he unearthed everything I was trying to suppress for the sake of living a normal life. It was all I wanted. Yet, he tried to end my career, he humiliated me, and it feels as though there is a chain tightly bound by my ankle, with the only hope of getting it to get off of me is to use it, wrap it around his neck and drain the life from him.
(There’s a scary sincerity to her words, as if every ounce of rage she’s built up is bubbling to the surface, carefully contained yet ready to explode at any moment. Minerva’s voice remains steady, but it’s clears she’s barely hanging on by a thread.)
Minerva: … And at this point? I do feel like I am on the brink of that. My patience is thin. There is no forgiveness to be had, no sympathy for the devil to give. He deserves nothing. No remorse, no hesitancy on my part, and no way for him to move on casually from me in peace. He robbed me of that, so why should he get to have it? Why should he move on in his life and career unbothered, so self absorbed in his supposed greatness, continuing to be a genuinely nasty piece of human garbage? He isn’t worthy of that. He deserves to suffer; to feel absolutely broken and tormented by the weight of his past actions against me, and I will make sure that he has no choice but to deal with all of that and more sooner rather than later.
(She pauses briefly before continuing.)
Minerva: Because while he may not be here now, that isn’t going to stop me from coming after him again at Road to Redemption.
(The fans react loudly, and mainly positively, to her plans. It was clear Minerva wanted vengeance, and she wasn’t going to stop until she got it in full.)
Flannery McCoy: Wait, did we hear that right?! She wants to face Drake King again at Road to Redemption?!
Jake Mercer: Your hearing isn’t deceiving you, Flann! And she looks deadly serious!
(The camera zooms in on Minerva’s face, her expression cold and resolute.)
Minerva: So, Drake? That means no more running. No more hiding. No more arrogance or ignorance coming from you. And you will not be given an option — you will face me head on. There are no choices for you to weasel your way into. This all ends at Road to Redemption, and it’s going to end on MY terms. Not yours. And when this is all said and done, Drake, you will know what it is like to be broken down. You will know firsthand how it feels to be worthless. You won’t be able to escape from the harsh reality that awaits you. You are going to be forced to feel the weight of everything, how you made me feel after House of Glass, and—
(Soon, her words trail off. She picks up on the fans’ sudden shift in reaction. Senses heightened, she looks around until—)
Stew-O: IT’S DRAKE KING! DRAKE KING IS BACK, AND HE SLAMS HIS FOREARM INTO MINERVA FROM BEHIND! THE FANS ARE BOOING HIM RELENTLESSLY, BUT HE DOESN’T CARE AS HE MOUNTS HER AND BEGINS TO ATTACK WITH A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO HER FACE!
Jake Mercer: BUT MINERVA FIRES BACK WITH SOME OF HER OWN AS SHE IS DOWN ON THE MAT, STRIKING HIM! DRAKE TRIES TO READJUST HIMSELF, BUT THAT CREATES AN OPENING FOR HER TO TAKE AND SHE IS ABLE TO KICK HIM AWAY! NOW SHE SCRAMBLES UP—
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE THRUSTS HIS SHOULDER INTO HER AND RAMS HER INTO THE CORNER! NOW HE’S TEEING OFF AGAIN, WITH MINERVA ON THE DEFENSIVE!
Stew-O: SHE KICKS HIM IN THE GUT! DRAKE KEELS OVER AND SHE THROWS HIM OUT OF THE RING! SHE FOLLOWS BEHIND AND — WAIT! SHE’S LOOKING UNDERNEATH THE RING! SHE DRAWS OUT A WEAPON! IT’S A STEEL CHAIR!
Jake Mercer: DRAKE IS GOING TO GET HIS HEAD SCRAMBLED IN A SECOND AS MINERVA RUNS IN, TAKING A SWING!
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!)
Flannery McCoy: HE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! THE CHAIR HITS THE STEEL POST THAT WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM! MINERVA SPINS AROUND, BUT SHE’S HIT WITH AN UPPERCUT!
Stew-O: The chair is dropped, but Minerva hits Drake with an uppercut of her own! Drake with a forearm! Minerva with a punch! Drake knees her in the gut, and now, he comes in, looking for a superkick!
Jake Mercer: She ducks! Drake misses that wildly and Minerva wails out with a flurry of shots, backing him up the ramp!
Flannery McCoy: This is getting nasty quickly! Drake lands some punches of his own as they go up the ramp and… wait, where are they going?!
Stew-O: The fight is spilling out elsewhere as they go to the back inadvertently! We’re now in the gorilla position and Minerva slams Drake’s face down onto a nearby table! He staggers!
Jake Mercer: Hang on! A security guard comes in, looking to break this apart—
Flannery McCoy: BUT THEY GET SENT DOWN WITH A HELLACIOUS ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM MINERVA!
Minerva: (off-mic) Stay the hell away from me!
Stew-O: CHAOS IS QUICKLY BREWING HERE! MINERVA STORMS TOWARDS DRAKE, BUT HE GRABS HER BY THE HEAD AND SLAMS HER INTO THE WALL! SHE DROPS TO ONE KNEE! HE GRABS HER AGAIN, BUT SHE HEADBUTTS HIM! BUT MINERVA ISN’T DONE YET—SHE GRABS HIM BY THE ARM AND DRIVES HIM FACE-FIRST INTO A STACK OF EQUIPMENT CASES!
(The camera follows the action as Minerva pulls Drake King up by his hair, dragging him further backstage. Drake, in a desperate attempt to fight back, throws a hard elbow into Minerva’s ribs, causing her to stumble slightly. He then grabs a nearby trash can and hurls it at her, but Minerva ducks, and the trash can crashes into the wall, scattering debris everywhere.)
Flannery McCoy: THIS IS JUST INSANE! THEY’RE GETTING AT EACH OTHER! DRAKE CHARGES AT HER, BUT MINERVA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING DRAKE TO COLLIDE WITH A STACK OF STEEL CHAIRS! HE COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND, AND MINERVA PICKS ONE OF THEM UP!
(CLAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!)
Jake Mercer: Drake got out of the way! Drake takes up one of the chairs and throws it at her! Minerva uses the chair she has to deflect it! Now they’re taking their fight into the parking lot! :damn: !!
Stew-O: Drake grabs a nearby toolbox and swings it at Minerva, but she dodges and kicks the toolbox out of his hands! She then grabs him by the head and drives him into the hood of a nearby car! Drake slumps over!
Jake Mercer: Oh, man! Now, Minerva drags him up onto the car! But Drake fights back with punches, and Minerva reciprocates! They’re fighting—
Flannery McCoy: But not for long! The guards! And holy hell, it’s like a cavalry! They immediately swarm the two and pry them off of each other! They’re taken off the car, and they’re both screaming and yelling at each other!
Stew-O: This was absolute mayhem! It took an entire swarm of security guards to break them apart, but even now, Minerva and Drake are STILL trying to tear each other apart!
(As the guards struggle to restrain both Minerva and Drake, the two shout at each other across the chaotic scene. Minerva thrashes against the guards holding her back, her voice cutting through the commotion.)
Minerva: (off-mic) YOU’RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME, DRAKE! THIS ISN’T OVER! NOT BY A LONG SHOT
Drake King: (off-mic) YOU THINK I’M AFRAID OF YOU?! YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET! YOU’RE GOING TO REGRET ALL OF THIS, MINERVA!
(The guards manage to separate them, dragging Minerva and Drake in opposite directions. Minerva, still seething, struggles against the grip of the security team, her eyes locked on Drake as they pull her further away from him and vice versa. Some bruising and cuts can be seen on the two Elitists who continue to scream at each other, before Dynasty returns back to ringside.)
Stew-O: Tonight really has been intense…
Jake Mercer: You’re telling me! Jeez! First we had that crazy fight during the debate, and now, Minerva and Drake nearly killed each other!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah. Been an insane night all around, but at least our team is getting everything sorted. Right now, we have our next match coming up, and hopefully, things don’t get too crazy here.
(Soon, ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Wayne hits. The fans cheer as Milli Banks arrives and joins the commentary table.)
Stephie Love: EAW Universe, please welcome the EAW Universal Women’s Champion, MIIIIILLLLIIIII BAAAAAAAAANKS!
Jake Mercer: Yessir! Big Baller Millz is back on Dynasty—even if it is just for one night.
(Milli smiles and takes her seat.)
Milli Banks: Whew, chile! Dynasty is CRAZY crazy ever since I left, but hey, at least we got some dope ass graps to watch, so imma just focus on that! Y’all should too!
Flannery McCoy: You’re certainly right, especially since this following contest is going to be of great importance for you as the champion.
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a singles match set for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: And it is a QUALIFYING MATCH for the Universal Women’s Championsihp Extreme Elimination Chamber!
(‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga began blaring through the arena’s speakers to tremendous cheers as Holly Arrow marched out to the stage with a determined expression plastered across her face. She acknowledged the crowd with a nod as she made her way down the ramp towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Liverpool, England, weighing in at 149 pounds… she is ‘THE SERAPH’, HOLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! ARROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, we’re in for one hell of a bout tonight! As Stephie said, this match will determine one of the competitors in the Extreme Elimination Chamber match for Milli Banks’ Universal Women’s Championship! As a matter of fact, we’ve got the Universal Women’s Champion herself on commentary with us for this match!
Flannery McCoy: It’s a good opportunity, wouldn’t you say? Getting to watch two potential entrants into your elimination chamber up close and personal like this, that is.
Milli Banks: You know it! Look at me, popping up over here on Dynasty a day before I fight for Showdown! I said it earlier this week, ya girl is BUSY, but I don’t mind! This is real champ shit, and considering the history I have with Holly, I’m happy with it. Watch her fight tonight before I kick Harp-ho Lee’s ass tomorrow!
Jake Mercer: Strong words from the world champ herself! And just as she mentioned, Harper Lee has already qualified to be in the Extreme Elimination Chamber match, so tomorrow’s going to be a preview for the type of matchups we’ll be seeing inside the chamber at Road to Redemption.
Stew-O: If Holly Arrow is able to win this match, it’ll be a… ‘reunion’ of sorts for POTARA as they compete for the same title in the chamber! Holly’s talked a lot about how much she’s focusing on the world championship, and if she’s able to get past her opponent, she’ll get the chance to compete for it! She’s running with momentum gained after a victory over Interwire Championship challenger Vincent Mondrian, and she’s looking to capitalize on the momentum tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Her opponent, though, won’t be willing to let this chance slip out of HER fingers, either…
(“Let Me Hear” by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas began blaring through the speakers to loud boos as Saori Aizen slowly made her way out onto the stage. She gave an intense stare around the arena before marching to the tune of her theme down the ramp towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT! Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 120 pounds… she is the DEMON CHILD, SAOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!
Stew-O: The Demon Child herself is looking to immediately bounce back from the loss she faced at House of Glass against Daniella Atlas during her contention for the EAW Specialist’s Championship! Even with a loss, she proved to be one of Daniella’s toughest challengers if not THE toughest challenger, and looked immensely powerful even in defeat!
Flannery McCoy: Saori Aizen has shown herself to be one of the most prominent and skilled New Breeds in this newest batch of wrestlers in EAW, and she’s looking to prove that even further tonight against the Seraph!
Jake Mercer: The Seraph vs the Demon Child, you say? Cinema! Are you rooting for anyone, Milli?
Milli Banks: Chile, I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty obviously biased here. But I’ll be watching closely either way, both these ladies are tough as nails and the wrestling fan in me is happy I get to see it by ringside!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! Holly Arrow versus Saori Aizen, the Seraph versus the Demon Child! Both wrestlers make their way out of their corners with focused expressions on their faces as they begin circling the ring, sizing each other up as they do! They’re looking to see who’s going to be able to take the early advantage in the match!
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow enters this match as the more experienced wrestler, but Saori has shown herself to be quite the virtuoso despite having been in the company for less time! It’s anybody’s game tonight, especially with the stakes as high as they are!
Jake Mercer: The Seraph looks to take the reins of the match off the bat as she lurches forward to grapple Saori, but the Demon Child is able to duck underneath! Holly swiftly turns around with an instinctive back elbow smash attempt, but Saori was able to create enough distance to avoid it!
Stew-O: Saori tries to take advantage of the missed opportunity by Holly as she lunges forward herself and grabs the arm of the Seraph before attempting to twist it into a wrist lock; however, Holly had it scouted as she twists herself in the opposite direction before Saori could even try it!
Flannery McCoy: Holly puts Saori in a disadvantageous position and uses her free hand to grab Saori’s wrist herself before jumping up and wrapping both legs around the captured arm, using her weight to bring both herself and the Demon Child falling to the canvas!
Jake Mercer: That forces the Demon Child to land with her arm caught in an armbar submission hold! Holly begins wrenching, but- WOW! Look at that incredible flexibility on display as Saori pushes off her feet to arch her back as far as it could go, bringing the lower half of Holly’s body off the canvas!
Stew-O: Saori reverse the armbar submission hold into a sudden roll-up, with Holly Arrow’s shoulders pinned on the mat!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: But Holly is able to kick out before the pinfall attempt lasted for too long! She performs a backroll to make some distance between herself and Saori as she tries to scramble up back to her feet, and Saori does the same! The Demon Child continues her relentless pursuit, though, as she lurches forward the moment Holly is back on her feet and executes a collar and elbow tie up!
Jake Mercer: She almost transitions to a wrist lock once again, but Holly was able to switch it up first as she ducks underneath the arm of Saori Aizen and switches her position to behind the Demon Child in the form of a waist lock! She throws Saori’s arm over her shoulder as she hoists her up in the air, going for a classic back suplex!
Stew-O: But once again, Saori is able to snake her way out of it as she uses the momentum to backflip herself behind Holly! Before Holly could even register what happened, Saori reached forward and snatched the wrist of the Seraph and wrenched it behind her back with a hammerlock!
Flannery McCoy: Now Saori is looking to take control and wear Holly Arrow down with some of her classic limb targeting! Holly Arrow employs a brutal style of wrestling that could take any wrestler down, but if you weaken her arms, you weaken her entire approach!
Jake Mercer: That’s the demon child for you! As cunning as she is skilled in the ring! She pushes the impact of her hammerlock even further as she implements some hard hitting knee lifts to the trapped arm of the Seraph at that!
Stew-O: Saori’s doing great so far, and it looks like she’s trying to capitalize on that momentum now! She transitions out of the hammerlock with that grip on the arm still held tight; without a moment of hesitation, she executes an Irish whip to the corner!
Flannery McCoy: Wait, no, Holly Arrow was actually able to reverse the Irish whip and send Saori running into the corner instead! The Demon Child has her back to the turnbuckles, and Holly Arrow sprints at her at top speed to follow it up WITH A RUNNING LARIAT!
Milli Banks: :whew: I felt that one from here! Didn’t use the arm Saori was targeting either, that’s smart.
Jake Mercer: I don’t think she’s through yet as she begins lighting Saori Aizen up with a flurry of vicious elbow smashes! Saori is trapped between a rock and a hard place, and that rock is being smashed against her face over and over!
Stew-O: The barrage of elbow smashes was enough to topple Saori Aizen down to a seated position against the bottom turnbuckle in a daze, and Holly Arrow smirks with self-approval as she turns and sprints over to the opposite corner!
Flannery McCoy: She turns around at the last second and bounces off the turnbuckles to rebound in a sprint back towards the seated Saori Aizen, who remains dazed from the attack she sustained at the hands of the Seraph!
Jake Mercer: She makes it to the Demon Child and turns around as she does so, executing a running corner hip attack to the head of Saori Aizen!
Stew-O: That impact was TREMENDOUS, enough to bounce Saori’s head off the bottom turnbuckle like a basketball! The Demon Child’s ears have to be ringing after that one, that’s for sure.
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow drags Saori up from out of that seated position and drags her over to the center of the ring! What does she have planned here?! She holds up the face of Saori Aizen and– :damn:
Milli Banks: :damn:
Jake Mercer: A palm strike to the THROAT of the Demon Child! You could be the newest rookie to the company or Gawd himself, a palm strike hitting your throat is going to leave you coughing and sputtering like you just got waterboarded!
Stew-O: That was enough to make Saori Aizen double over, and Holly Arrow takes a hold of the bent Demon Child’s head as she leans forward and BAM, she hits a classic DDT to drive the head of Saori Aizen into the canvas!
Flannery McCoy: With effortless elegance, Holly Arrow flips herself back onto Saori for the pin! Does she have it?
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOO-
Jake Mercer: But an EMPHATIC kick out by Saori Aizen keeps her in the race, and Holly Arrow looks disgruntled as the match continues thanks to the Demon Child’s resilience!
Stew-O: The Seraph looks determined as ever, though, not allowing herself to be deterred by Saori! She staggers up and takes aim at the Demon Child, measuring her up as she waits for her to get into position for something big!
Flannery McCoy: Saori may not know what’s in store for her as she’s recovered from her daze and is staggering up with her back turned to Holly Arrow!
Jake Mercer: The Seraph has her right where she wants her as she’s got a slight crouch, waiting behind Saori like a predator ready to strike its prey! And that’s exactly what Holly Arrow does, as she lunges forward and grabs a hold of the Demon Child’s wrist before throwing it over her shoulders and hoisting Saori up onto her shoulders as well!
Stew-O: Saori is flailing as hard as she can, and it’s causing Holly to struggle, but the Seraph is determined to land this maneuver – I think it’s Odin’s Lost Eye, her signature wrist-clutch olympic slam maneuver!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! With her free hand, Saori Aizen just unleashed a claw clutch on the arm of Holly Arrow’s that she was targeting earlier! We see Holly visibly flinch in pain as she struggles to keep Saori hoisted up– will she be able to land the maneuver?!
Jake Mercer: She’s tilting… backwards! Saori is moving her entire center of gravity behind Holly, and– CRUCIFIX DRIVER! SAORI JUST SHIFTED THE LEVERAGE OF THE MANEUVER TO BRING HOLLY FALLING BACK, DRIVING HER HEAD INTO THE CANVAS WITH A MAKESHIFT CRUCIFIX DRIVER!
Stew-O: AND SHE’S GOING FOR A CRUCIFIX PIN TO BOOT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THR-
Milli Banks: :oh:
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow is STILL in this, but that was a close call! An undeniably impressive maneuver by the Demon Child who used her wits to get out of a maneuver that may have ended the match, and reversed the situation to the extent where she took the reins of control in the match for herself!
Jake Mercer: Needless to say, that blow left its mark as Holly Arrow is still laid out with her head clutched in her hands, reeling from the impact of that maneuver coming out of nowhere!
Stew-O: Now Saori Aizen staggers to her feet with a sneer as she looks down at the Seraph; she is constantly looking to prove herself to be able to compete with veterans of the company, from her very early tag match against the Jaded Hearts to a match like this, against a former tag team champion in Holly Arrow!
Flannery McCoy: Saori walks around the body of Holly, slowly shifting the arm of Holly’s that she’s been targeting away from her torso; with it effectively isolated as it lies on the canvas, Saori suddenly places both of the palms of her hands against the canvas on the side of Holly’s arm and lifts herself up into a handstand! Is she looking your way, Milli?
Milli Banks: She trying to show off a lil’ gymnastics? I dig it, but I’ll have to show her who’s boss if she gets into the chamber :mjgrin:
Jake Mercer: She drops down from the handstand, though, unleashing a handstand double knee drop onto the arm of the fallen Seraph! That caused a yelp to come from Holly’s mouth, but the sadistic Saori Aizen pays it no mind as she grabs the wrist of that arm and uses it to flip Holly onto her back! Now she unleashes a perfectly executed Fujiwara armbar, wrenching the arm of Holly Arrow as hard as she can!
Stew-O: Now Saori has turned the tables, making Holly Arrow be the one to flail around as she tries to escape the Demon Child’s clutches! She’s reaching for the ropes, but Saori is doing her best to keep her away from getting there!
Flannery McCoy: At the same time, Holly is doing her best to wrench her caught arm in the opposite direction, trying to diminish the effect of the Fujiwara armbar! It’s a two-front war, and the wrestlers will have to decide whether to focus on the caught arm or the ropes!
Jake Mercer: Holly Arrow suddenly unleashes a huge effort to free her caught arm, drawing all of Saori’s attention to wrenching the arm! Not sure if that was the right move from Holly, that just made the wrenching worse– wait, but it may have been her trap, Holly just got a lot closer to the ropes!
Stew-O: That’s that veteran instinct right there! Saori realizes what Holly just did, but it’s too late; she has the rope in her hand! The referee is counting Saori down to get her off, and the Demon Child waits for the four count before angrily relinquishing her hold!
Milli Banks: Holly’s always been one of the sharpest! There’s a reason why POTARA was as good as it was, and regardless of what Harper would want you to think Holly was a BIG part of it!
Stew-O: Saori is looking frustrated now as she thought she had victory in the palm of her hands! Holly Arrow, with one hand gripped on the ropes, is staggering up after facing the brunt of that armbar; that arm has got to be burning right now!
Flannery McCoy: Woah, what’s this?! Saori Aizen lunged at Holly before she could fully get up, grabbing that wrist and yanking her away from the ropes! She used the wrist to pull the Seraph towards her, going for a WRIST-HOLD KNEE STRIKE! THAT’S HER SIGNATURE MIRROR FLOWER, WATER MOON MANEUVER!
Jake Mercer: BUT HOLLY ARROW WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDERNEATH THE ATTACK WITH HER ARM STILL TRAPPED! SHE HAS SAORI’S ARM BETWEEN HER LEGS, AND SHE LIFTS HER UP WITH A PUMPHANDLE LIFT!
Stew-O: A pumphandle backbreaker connects! Both of these wrestlers are pulling out impromptu moves not typically seen just to be able to escape each other’s movesets! It’s a battle of strength and wits, but Holly just took back control and that look on her face tells me she has no intentions of giving it back!
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow quickly drags Saori back up to her feet and– PALM STRIKE to the back of the head! She sends Saori Aizen stumbling forward in a daze, but Holly herself sprints past Saori and leaps onto the middle rope to springboard off of it! This is insane, what’s she doing?!
Jake Mercer: She twists herself around in mid-air to face the Demon Child and– GALAXY DIVIDE! A MODIFIED GALAXY DIVIDE JUST CONNECTED AND DROPPED SAORI AIZEN JUST LIKE THAT!
Milli Banks: :damn: :damn: :damn:
Stew-O: Holly is wasting NO time at all as she scrambles forward and grabs both of Saori’s legs, dragging them over her with a pinfall and leveraging herself over Saori as much as she can!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga began blaring through the arena’s speakers once again to loud cheers as Holly Arrow rolled off of Saori Aizen! The Seraph slowly rose to her feet and held up her good arm in victory with the referee raising it.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER… MOVING ON TO THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER… THE SERAPH, HOOOOOOOOOOLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Stew-O: Undisputedly a hard-fought match between both of the elitists here tonight! They knew how high the stakes were and they brought everything they could, with Holly going above and beyond to put Saori Aizen down!
Flannery McCoy: Saori put in an amazing effort, but Holly Arrow was able to put in even more to punch her ticket to the extreme elimination chamber at Road to Redemption!
Jake Mercer: Milli Banks AND POTARA in the chamber together? That’ll be something for sure.
Milli Banks: :whew: Chile, you’re telling me! Holly’s a tough opponent, no doubt, but that’s exactly what I’m looking for. They can all bring their best, but I’ll show them that I’m HER. PERIOD!
(The video feed lingered on Holly Arrow celebrating her victory before locking eyes with Milli Banks at ringside; the champion and newly-confirmed challenger stared off with a nod of respect from both before Milli allowed Holly to celebrate her win undeterred. The video feed slowly faded to black.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to show the backstage area of the Scotiabank Arena where, after a certain incident, everything has seemed to calm down. The scene is set in the medical room, where a pair of doctors are seen checking on someone seated on the edge of a bed. The camera focuses in as it’s revealed to be none other than Drake King, who has a visibly displeased expression. Having reappeared on the Dynasty brand earlier in the night, he found himself embroiled in a huge brawl with one Minerva, who has been eager to get his hands on him since what transpired at House of Glass. Even though security was able to break them apart and managed to escort them to separate parts of the arena, there is still a large amount of animosity as Drake is being cleaned up and his cuts are being tended to. He eyes the camera that’s facing him, and he begins to speak.)
Drake King: For as long as I’ve been here I still can’t seem to understand what goes through the mind of certain Elitists. The type of idiocy and stupidity that just oozes out of them, seems to be neverending. No matter what lesson you try to teach, no matter what you have to do to them, one way or another, they always come back around and show you that they didn’t learn a thing. That was the case with Minerva, and she especially is a case that I just do not get. I have nothing to prove to her or anyone else, she can say all she wants that I’m not as good as I say I am or that I’ll never change, but I never needed to change for anyone. For as long as I can remember I have been Drake King, and that, especially at House of Glass, has always been enough. So if she thinks that she can go out there and try and egg me on, then she’s wrong. The only reason I came out there and incited that in the first place was because she took the first shot. She was the one who went out of her way to beat me down and take me out of action for three weeks. She was the one who got all up in her feelings because I proved something that we all already knew and that was that I am better than her and always will be and decided to go out of her way to make a reckless decision. If anything, I should say that you, Minerva, are the person in this situation who has never changed. You are the same fool who continues to get herself into trouble and put herself into situations that she cannot face herself. You drag yourself into these pitiful scenarios where you are asking to be embarrassed, and now here you are, practically getting on your hands and knees, groveling at the ground that I am walking on, BEGGING me for a rematch. You don’t deserve that.
(Drake shakes his head vigorously in frustration, causing the doctors around him to be momentarily startled by this action. After some time though, he begins to calm himself down, still feeling a certain way about everything that has transpired these past couple of weeks. As the doctors continue to look at him, he takes a deep breath before continuing onward.)
Drake King: But I find myself doing a lot of favors for you nowadays. Even when I should’ve left you behind a very long time ago, somehow you find yourself coming back. It’s like you want my validation like you need me to say something to you to feel satisfied, but do you want to know how I feel about you? You mean nothing to me, Minerva. After everything that you’ve put me through, especially now, I’d be better off leaving you for dead than entertaining this childish behavior. Those are the lengths that I find myself having to go to, and that is not something that I’m unfamiliar with. In the past I’ve made sure that my opponents NEVER show their face in this company again, I have done some things in the past that I regret dearly, but in the end, they were necessary. I did what I needed to do against my own best wishes and I will continue to do that for as long as I am living and breathing. As GOD I am on a mission and you are in the way of that, so ultimately, you will have to be slain by my hand. Beating you is not enough anymore, humiliating you in front of a sea of people is not going to suffice because you’ll just keep coming back. I’m going to have to make sure that you don’t have a choice anymore. That once it is all said and done I never have to utter your name again, because I am tired of this. I am tired of going through this same song and dance over and over again just because you feel entitled to have your fairytale ending. Well, this isn’t going to be that. Reality is going to set in sooner rather than later, I don’t know what I will have to do to make sure that happens, but I will. Somehow, someway, you will be put to an end, Minerva, and right here, right now, I make a declaration that it is going to be because of me.
(Drake grips the edge of his bed as he scrunches his face, looking over at the camera as he finishes what he has to say.)
Drake King: You will get your match against me, and I will beat you again. Once again, you do not deserve that in the slightest, but this is what I need to do to put an end to all of this. I have given you the world, Minerva, out of graciousness and selflessness, above all else I have done more for you than anyone else in this business. But that comes to an end, and it’s going to come to an end to mark not just a new year, but a new era in Elite Answers Wrestling. After everything I’ve done for you, Road To Redemption will be my greatest favor. We will NEVER see you again.
(Drake gets up from the bed as he shoves the doctors away, storming out of the scene as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty, from there, begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial plays for Super Voltage)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a shot of the arena as Stephie Love is seen standing by with a microphone in hand as she begins to speak.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: And it is for the EAW NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Rise and Fall’ by Starset begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the crowd gets loud for Corey Hale who is seen energetically making his way out from the backstage area. He has a smirk on his face as he takes a look around before focusing in on the ring, taking a deep breath before heading down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger… from Phoenix, Arizona… weighing in at 200 pounds… he is ‘THE CELESTIAL WANDERER’… COREY HALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well here comes the challenger here tonight as he made it known that he was gunning for the New Breed Championship just a couple of weeks ago. Fast forward to Super Dynasty, and now he has the opportunity of a lifetime as he steps into the biggest match of his young career so far, will he make the best of it?
Flannery McCoy: That remains to be seen, but he’s going to be in for one hell of a challenge here tonight, as we know exactly who he’s facing in this match. But we know that Corey has built an impressive track record tonight, so he might just shock the world, who can tell?
Jake Mercer: He genuinely might die tonight. He’s 100 pounds soaking wet, this might very well be the end of his young career.
(‘Duel of The Fates (V2)’ by Samuel Kim then begins to play through the speakers as the crowd erupts into loud cheers, with a poised New Breed Champion BRAE seen making his way out to the stage. He has a face of pure determination as he eyes his challenger inside of the ring, taking a moment before then continuing to make his entrance.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Bray County Wicklow, Ireland… weighing in at 215 pounds… he is the EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE IMPERIAL SYMPHONY’… BRAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: As for BRAE this is the first of a long list of matches on the agenda for him. If he does manage to make it past Corey tonight, he has Effy McAvoy to defend his title against next. Then, after that, he will be stepping into the Extreme Elimination Chamber to fight for Joso’s World Heavyweight Championship.
Flannery McCoy: And knowing him, he’ll be training to make sure that he wins all of those. It’s a long shot, but it’s certainly possible given the type of level he’s been at since winning this title. Right now though he has to make sure that he can retain tonight on Super Dynasty, and he’s a man on a mission right now to see that through.
Jake Mercer: :lupe: RIP Corey.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go and this is a match that we’ve been waiting quite some time for! Ahead of his participation in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, BRAE has several roadblocks in the way when it comes to his New Breed Championship, one of which comes tonight against the plucky Corey Hale. He hasn’t been here very long but he’s certainly made an impression on the Dynasty brand, and now he looks to take it to the next level as he starts his quest to win his first title in this company!
Flannery McCoy: But will it be more than he bargained for? We’re just going to have to wait and see. Right now both of them are making their way out of their corners… BUT IMMEDIATELY, COREY SHOOTS OUT AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK STRAIGHT TO BRAE’S CHEST TO SEND HIM BACK! BRAE bounces hard off the turnbuckles but tries to navigate himself toward the center of the ring… ONLY FOR COREY TO RUN TO THE ROPES AND LAUNCH OFF OF THEM INTO A SPRINGBOARD BEFORE TWISTING HIMSELF AROUND, TAKING THE CHAMPION DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A CROSSBODY!
Jake Mercer: Corey rolls back up to his feet as BRAE lands flat on his back… BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR, CONNECTING WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! COREY THEN PROCEEDS TO HOOK THE LEG AND GO FOR AN EARLY PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE-
Stew-O: BUT BRAE KICKS OUT EARLY! Corey tried to steal a win early, but all know in a match with the stakes this high BRAE is going to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Flannery McCoy: Right now it looks like The Imperial Symphony is slowly crawling toward the ropes, taking a moment to try and recover before Corey can continue his attack. But Corey has begun to make his way toward him, grabbing BRAE by the head and beginning to bring him up… CONNECTING WITH A CHOP TO THE CHEST THAT SENDS BRAE BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! Corey sees an opportunity here as he turns around and gets a running start, rebounding off of the opposite side of the ring… AND GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO SEND BRAE OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING-
Jake Mercer: BUT BRAE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT AS HE SENDS COREY THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! Corey lands on the apron just in time as he manages to recover, SENDING A STRIKE TOWARD THE HEAD OF BRAE- But BRAE manages to block it before shoving it away, AND HITTING HIM WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! The challenger is stunned and BRAE is taking advantage of this, turning him around and setting him up…
Stew-O: AS HE GOES FOR ‘THE TEN BEATS OF BRAE’ TO THE CHEST-
Flannery McCoy: BUT COREY MANAGES TO SNATCH HIS WRIST JUST IN TIME! HE SPINS IT AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HOTSHOT WHIPPING HIS ARM BACK! BRAE is grabbing his arm in pain and that gives Corey the chance to roll himself back into the ring and circle him, quickly grabbing him… BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A QUICK ARMBREAKER! Corey then spins around, AS HE TRIES TO LOCK IN A FUJIWARA ARMBAR-
Jake Mercer: But BRAE manages to shove him away just in time and roll up to a kneeling position, and it looks like Corey is trying to target that arm, as we know that’s a huge part of his ‘Red Death’ finisher and if that’s immobilized he might have a hard time hitting that. Corey rolls backward and up to his feet as BRAE does as well, AND IMMEDIATELY BRAE GOES FOR A STRIKE STRAIGHT TO THE HEAD- BUT COREY MANAGES TO BRING HIS LEG UP JUST IN TIME AND KICK HIS ARM AWAY!
Stew-O: BRAE is hurt as he clutches his arm and tries to get some ground back… ONLY FOR COREY TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A HIGH KNEE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! This match has been all Corey so far and I’m not sure this is how the Champion wanted this one to go down. Corey quickly snatches BRAE’s arm into his possession as it seems like he’s going for something here, running toward one of the corners… AS HE RUNS UP THE TURNBUCKLES AND GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD ARM DRAG!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRAE MANAGES TO CATCH HIM JUST IN TIME! HE GRABS A HOLD OF HIM BY THE WAIST BEFORE POSITIONING HIM… AND HE SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING WITH A MASSIVE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: Corey lands hard on the ground and BRAE finally has a moment to recuperate after all of the offense that has been thrown his way so far. The Champion then turns around and makes his way out of the ring, and seems to have his eye on keeping the rhythm going as he gets back on track. Corey is slowly rising back up to his feet, as he swings around and tries to throw a strike toward the face of BRAE- But it’s BRAE that manages to duck under it! He grabs Corey around the waist, lifting him off the ground… DROPPING HIM BACK FIRST ONTO THE APRON WITH A BACK SUPLEX!
Stew-O: Corey lands hard as he cries with pain, and BRAE is quick to grab a hold of him and shove him back into the ring before climbing onto the apron. The New Breed Champion is poised to make sure that this stays in his favor as he then begins to scale up to the top rope, eyes on going for an aerial assault while Corey remains on the ground… WITH BRAE LAUNCHING OFF AND GOING FOR A DIVING KNEE DROP TO THE HEAD OF COREY!
Flannery McCoy: BUT COREY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! BRAE lands hard on his knee but is quick to recover as he makes his way up to his feet, but Corey grabs a hold of him by the arm and goes for an arm wrench- ONLY FOR BRAE TO NAIL HIM AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH AN ELBOW! BRAE then snatches hold of him, bringing him toward the corner… LIFTING HIM AND SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A VICIOUS EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: BRAE managed to recover from that fast as Corey goes down into a smoldering heap, and now The Imperial Symphony is beginning to drag him toward the center of the ring as he hooks the leg, going for a pin attempt right here!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: BUT COREY KICKS OUT BEFORE THREE! You can see BRAE favoring that arm right now, doing what he can to make sure that he stays in control of this but also in a world of hurt as he rises back up to his feet. On the otherhand, Corey is still down as he tries his best to roll away and get back up, but BRAE already has a hold of him by the legs, dragging him toward the center of the ring as he has something in mind here…
Flannery McCoy: LOCKING IN ‘BRIGID END’! THE INVERTED CLOVERLEAF IS CINCHED IN AND COREY IS FLAILING AROUND, REACHING HIS ARMS OUT AND DOING WHATEVER HE CAN TO GET OUT OF THIS! BRAE HAS IT LOCKED IN TIGHT AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE CHALLENGER HAS NOWHERE TO GO RIGHT NOW! HE’S GOING TO HAVE TO FIND HIS WAY OUT OF THIS AND QUICKLY OR THIS MATCH IS GOING TO END QUICKER THAN HE EXPECTED!
Jake Mercer: COREY IS TRYING TO GRAB A HOLD OF THAT BOTTOM ROPE, BUT RIGHT NOW BRAE IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL AND HE’S MAKING SURE THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AS HE KEEPS HIM IN PLACE AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! BRAE IS NOT PLANNING ON LETTING GO ANYTIME SOON, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE COREY IS BEGINNING TO GAIN SOME GROUND RIGHT NOW!
Stew-O: HE’S SHIFTING HIS BODY AROUND AND BRINGING HIS ARMS OUT TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE ANKLE OF BRAE, AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF IT AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! COREY NOW IS TRYING TO TURN THAT AROUND AS HE MOVES INTO HEEL HOOK POSITION- BUT IMMEDIATELY BRAE MANAGES TO TURN HIS BODY AND SEND A KICK USING HIS FREE LEG TO FORCE COREY AWAY AS BOTH OF THEM BEGIN TO MAKE THEIR WAY UP TO THEIR FEET!
Flannery McCoy: They make their way up to their feet, AND BRAE IMMEDIATELY MEETS COREY WITH A HARD CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! Corey staggers back, and you can see the pained expression on the face of The Celestial Wanderer as he tries to hold his ground, SENDING A CHOP BACK TO BRAE! The Champion stays strong though as he sizes him up, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER CHOP TO COREY! Corey this time staggers back, but somehow is still standing, AS HE GOES FOR ANOTHER CHOP-
Jake Mercer: BUT THIS TIME BRAE DUCKS UNDER IT! He avoids it just in time as Corey steps forward and turns himself around, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE BY BRAE! BRAE is clutching his arm in pain after those attacks but is managing to jump back into this match as he turns around and runs to the ropes… REELING HIS ARM BACK AND GOING FOR A HARD LARIAT-
Stew-O: BUT COREY USES HIS FOREARM TO BLOCK THE SHOT, CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE TO THAT ARM OF HIS! HE THEN GRABS BRAE AND TURNS HIM AROUND, BRINGING HIM INTO AN INVERTED HEADLOCK…
Flannery McCoy: AND CONNECTING WITH AN ELBOW DROP STRAIGHT DOWN ONTO HIS CHEST! ‘SO ABOVE, SO BELOW’ MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH THE NEW BREED CHAMPION AND COREY IS QUICK TO ROLL HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOK THE LEG! GOING FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRE-
Jake Mercer: BUT BRAE MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP! HE MANAGES TO KEEP HIS NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN ALIVE! You can see Corey rise back up to his feet as he has a continuous determined expression on his face, looking to apply more pressure as he gets closer and closer to securing this thing.
Stew-O: But it’s not going to be as easy as he thinks it’s going to be, as BRAE is slowly crawling himself away toward one of the corners, looking to find a way to get himself back into this match because he knows that if he has him right where he wants him he can finish this off for good! But Corey knows better than to let that happen, as BRAE presses his head against the bottom turnbuckle and that gives the challenger the idea to go to the other side of the ring. He leaves through the ropes and onto the apron, and it seems like he has his eyes on something here…
Flannery McCoy: AS HE LAUNCHES OFF OF THE ROPES AND GOES FOR ‘HALESTORM’! SPRINGBOARD COAST TO COAST TO BRAE TO TAKE HIM OUT!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRAE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! COREY COLLIDES HARD WITH THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING AS HE TRIES HIS BEST TO RISE BACK UP TO HIS FEET! But BRAE already has his sights set as he staggers up to his feet… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A MASSIVE HELLUVA KICK TO HIS FACE TO COMPLETELY WIPE COREY OUT! BRAE manages to get himself out of that situation and he’s not wasting any time seizing a hold of both of his wrists and going for something here…
Stew-O: AS HE STARTS TO STOMP DOWN REPEATEDLY ON THE CHEST OF COREY HALE! COREY’S HEAD IS BOUNCING OFF OF THE CANVAS AS BRAE IS BRUTALIZING HIM RIGHT NOW! LOOKING TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT IT’S GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE THAN WHAT HE HAS RIGHT NOW TO TAKE HIM OUT FOR GOOD! COREY IS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP CONSCIOUSNESS IN THIS ATTACK AS BRAE RELENTS AND TAKES A STEP BACK TO TAKE A BREATHER!
Flannery McCoy: This match has taken a lot out of both Elitists so far here tonight and I don’t think either of them is looking to give an inch despite that. BRAE makes his way over to Corey and begins to bring him back up to his feet, but it doesn’t look like Corey wants to give in right now! He begins to send a flurry of strikes to the face of BRAE out of desperation, not wanting to let him gain any sort of ground right now! He is bringing the fight to the New Breed Champion and doing whatever he can right now to keep afloat-
Jake Mercer: But before he can go any further, it’s BRAE who sends a swift kick to the abdomen and doubles him over! The New Breed Champion doesn’t look through here as he grabs a hold of him by the head… CONNECTING WITH A HARD HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL OF COREY HALE WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION! Corey is stunned by this as he does what he can to fight out of his grip, BUT BRAE THEN REELS HIS LEG BACK AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD KNEE STRIKE TOWARD THE FACE OF COREY!
Stew-O: Corey is flat on his back as he’s trying his best to make his way back up to his feet, but judging by the look on the face of BRAE, he’s looking to close this one out right now! He takes a step back, giving a massive battle cry, and I think we know what he’s going for here! If he manages to hit this, then it’s going to be all over for Corey!
Flannery McCoy: AS BRAE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR ‘RED DEATH’! THE H-BOMB STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF COREY TO FINISH THIS MATCH-
Jake Mercer: NO! COREY MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! BRAE’S ARM HITS SMACK AGAINST THE CANVAS AND YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN THAT HE’S IN AFTER MISSING THAT! HE CLUTCHES HIS ALREADY HURT ARM AS HE MAKES HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET TO GET BACK INTO THIS MATCH-
Stew-O: BUT COREY LEAPS INTO THE AIR AS HE MANAGES TO NAIL BRAE WITH THE ‘ZENBREAKER’ TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! HE MANAGES TO TAKE HIM DOWN JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME AND THAT’S ENOUGH FOR HIM TO CAPITALIZE!
Flannery McCoy: COREY LEAVES THROUGH THE ROPES AND BEGINS TO MAKE HIS WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE, HE HAS HIS EYES ON BRAE WHO HASN’T MOVED AFTER BEING TAKEN DOWN, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR THE DAGGER RIGHT NOW AS HE SETS HIM UP RIGHT HERE!
Jake Mercer: PUSHING HIMSELF OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR THE ‘QUANTUM LEAP’! THE 540 CORKSCREW SENTON TO BRAE TO TAKE HIM OUT-
Stew-O: BUT BRAE MANAGES TO GET HIS KNEES UP! BRAE GETS HIS KNEES UP JUST IN TIME AS HE ROLLS UP TO HIS FEET-
Flannery McCoy: AND NAILS COREY RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE WITH ‘RED DEATH’! THE H-BOMB CONNECTS AND YOU CAN SEE BRAE CLUTCH HIS ARM IN PAIN! HE’S IN AGONIZING PAIN RIGHT NOW AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT’S STOPPING HIM FROM IMMEDIATELY GOING FOR THE PIN! THIS MIGHT VERY WELL COST HIM ENDING THE MATCH RIGHT NOW AS HE STRUGGLES TO MAKE HIS WAY OVER TO COREY, FIGHTING THROUGH THE PAIN THAT HE’S GOING THROUGH!
Jake Mercer: BUT FINALLY HE MANAGES TO THROW HIS ARM OVER HIM AS HIS SHOULDERS ARE DOWN ON THE MAT! THE REFEREE STARTS THE COUNT AND WILL THAT BE ENOUGH TO CLOSE THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
Stew-O: WHAT THE HELL?! COREY HALE JUST KICKED OUT OF THE ‘RED DEATH’! BRAE IS IN DISBELIEF! BUT SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, THE PLUCKY CHALLENGER IS CONTINUING TO FIGHT THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT HE’S GONE THROUGH RIGHT NOW!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE is rising back up to his feet, trying to ponder what the hell to do next. He makes his way up to his feet and staggers back toward one of the corners, watching Corey as he begins to stir back up to his feet, it’s clear that neither of them is in the best of shape right now but they know that they’re going to have to do something if they want to close this out. Corey is slowly making his way back up to his feet…
Jake Mercer: AS BRAE RUSHES FORWARD AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR FOR A ‘MORRIGAN’ ATTEMPT! THE BROGUE KICK STRAIGHT TO THE FACE!
Stew-O: NO! COREY MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT JUST IN TIME! BRAE STUMBLES FORWARD BUT TURNS AROUND AS COREY GOES FOR A STRIKE TO THE FACE- BUT BRAE DUCKS UNDER IT JUST IN TIME AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND LIFTS HIM INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: BUT COREY FLIPS OVER AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! BRAE CLUTCHES THE ROPES AND QUICKLY BRINGS HIMSELF UP-
Jake Mercer: AS COREY LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR ‘HEAVEN TO HALE’! THE ZIG ZAG CONNECTS ON BRAE!
Stew-O: BUT BRAE KEEPS A HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE AND HOLDS ON TO IT AS COREY DOESN’T MANAGE TO HIT THE MOVE! THE CHALLENGER ROLLS BACKWARD AS HE MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET! BRAE TURNS AROUND AS HE MAKES HIS WAY OVER TO HIM!
Flannery McCoy: BUT COREY MANAGES TO REBOUND JUST IN TIME AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘PEACE OF MIND’! THE DRAGON WHIP TAKES BRAE DOWN TO THE GROUND AND WE KNOW WHAT THIS IS SETTING UP RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: COREY TURNS AROUND AND MAKES HIS WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE, HAVING HIS FULL ATTENTION ON BRAE RIGHT NOW WHO HASN’T MOVED! IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING TO LEAP OFF AND TRY FOR A ‘QUANTUM LEAP’ TO FINISH THIS MATCH AND WIN THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP-
Stew-O: NO! NO! BRAE MANAGES TO RUN UP THE TOP ROPE! HE RECOVERS JUST IN TIME AND GRABS A HOLD OF HIS WAIST BEFORE PUSHING HIMSELF OFF AND CONNECTING WITH AN AVALANCHE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX WHICH PLUMMETS COREY HALE DOWN TO THE GROUND! COREY LANDS HARD ON HIS BACK AS HE TRIES HIS BEST TO MAKE HIS WAY UP TO HIS FEET…
Flannery McCoy: BUT HE GETS NAILED WITH A ‘RED DEATH’ BY BRAE FOR HIS TROUBLES! THE H-BOMB CONNECTS AND BRAE MAKES HIS WAY OVER AND GOES FOR THE PIN-
Jake Mercer: BUT COREY ROLLS HIMSELF AWAY FROM IT! COREY IS STILL SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE AS SOMEHOW THAT WASN’T ABLE TO KEEP HIM DOWN JUST LIKE THE LAST ONE! BUT I DON’T THINK BRAE IS GOING TO SETTLE FOR THAT…
Stew-O: AS HE PUSHES HIMSELF OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A SECOND ‘RED DEATH’ TO COREY HALE! BRAE IS CLUTCHING HIS ARM IN PAIN BUT HE IS USING ALL THE ADRENALINE THAT HE POSSIBLY HAS LEFT RIGHT NOW TO RALLY HIMSELF UP AS HE MAKES HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET…
Flannery McCoy: AND FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A THIRD ‘RED DEATH’ ACROSS THE THROAT TO WIPE COREY HALE OUT FOR GOOD! THE CHALLENGER IS OUT AND BRAE IMMEDIATELY HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Duel of The Fates (V2)’ begins to blast through the speakers once more as the crowd roars in approval for BRAE as he makes his way back up to his feet. The referee hands him his New Breed Championship before raising his hand in the air. A tired BRAE is seen still nursing his injuries, but despite that makes his way up to the top rope and raises his title into the air with a look of pride on his face while he does so.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… AND STILL!!!!! THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! BRAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Is he… is he dead…?
Stew-O: Well I don’t think we should assume that much, but regardless what BRAE just needed to do there served as a testament to how much it took to take Corey Hale down. No matter the result of this, he should not at all be deterred by what just happened, and I’m sure this won’t be the last time that he gets an opportunity just like this one.
Flannery McCoy: But in the end, the New Breed Champion walks out with his title in tow and even though he has one more roadblock to surely get past once this is all said and done, I am certain this fuels his resolve as he makes his way to Road To Redemption and, more specifically, the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Congratulations to BRAE!
(BRAE rolls out of the ring and begins to make his way up the ramp, slinging his title over his shoulder while he does so. Corey is seen inside of the ring slowly recovering after the finish of the match, a pained expression on his face as the last shot seen is BRAE raising his title in the air one more time before Friday Night Dynasty then fades to elsewhere.)

(Stephie Love is in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL! (in e minor ugly ass Torontonian accent)
Stephie Love: And it is for the EAW Interwire Championship!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ by Samuel Kim hits, and the fans give off a more neutral reaction, with some cheering as Vincent Mondrian comes on out.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger! From Laren, Netherlands, weighing in tonight at 205 pounds, he is the Vasto Lorde, VIIIIINCEEEEEENT MOOOONDRIIIIAAAAAAAAAN!
Stew-O: Vincent Mondrian, the challenger, is looking to win his first title here in EAW. He has been looking to consistently improve and up his game, and ever since his loss against Holly Arrow back at House of Glass, he has been able to shift into a different gear. Now, we are just a little under a month from that event, and Vincent is confident, ready to show the world what he can do.
Jake Mercer: Vincent is one determined and driven man, I can tell you that much. He has a bright future ahead, but at the same time, he isn’t in the camp of waiting around for opportunities to fall into his lap. He wants to win, become a champion, and build up a legacy for himself in the here and now. And if there’s anyone who can beat Hans, it could very well be him.
Flannery McCoy: That is true. Tonight could very well be his night if everything goes according to plan for him. However, this is also a challenge for him, and he’s going to have to be on his absolute A game in order to come out on top here on Super Dynasty.
(Vincent enters the ring, remaining focused. He warms up in his corner before ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI hits, and the Candian fans instantly go crazy as Hans Grayson makes his entrance.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, weighing in tonight at 219 pounds, he is the EAW Intewire Champion, the Fireheart, HAAAAAAANS GRAAAAAYSOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: Listen to this crowd! The roof has nearly blown off here in Toronto! We may not be in Vancouver, but Toronto has plenty of love for Hans Grayson as he makes his way to the ring! The reigning and defending EAW Interwire Champion, and one of the most exciting stars on the roster today, Hans is ready to show why he’s been such a force since capturing that title.
Jake Mercer: Hans Grayson is not just a champion, Stew. He’s the champion to beat in the midcard scene right now. His blend of high-flying maneuvers, hard-hitting strikes, and relentless intensity has made him a nightmare for anyone who steps in his path. And with Road to Redemption around the corner, he’s got his sights set on adding to his own budding legacy as a potential double champion in the near future!
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely, Jake. Hans has already qualified for the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match at Road to Redemption, but his focus tonight is fully on this defense. He knows the target on his back is only growing larger, and if he wants to keep momentum heading into that chamber match, he needs to leave tonight still the Interwire Champion.
Stew-O: It’s a battle of contrasting styles here. Hans’ explosive, high-energy offense versus Vincent’s calculated, methodical, technical approach. Both men are hungry. Both men have something to prove. The question is, who will execute their game plan better under the bright lights of Super Dynasty to either capture or reclaim the EAW Interwire Championship? It’s a match many people have been looking forward to and for many good reasons, and in just a few moments, we will see for ourselves who has what it takes to come out on top tonight!
(Hans gets in the ring, looking absolutely ready for this match. He unclasps the title from his waist and looks down at it for a bit before handing it off to the referee. They raises up into the air, and it glistens within the spotlight shining down on it. The official places it away, checks with both Elitists to ensure they’re both ready, and once they get confirmation, they call for the bell.)
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: There’s the bell! This title match for the EAW Interwire Championship is official! Will Vincent Mondrian become a champion for the first time in his career here, or will Hans Grayson move on and come on step closer to potentially becoming a double champion as he heads to Road to Redemption?!
Jake Mercer: So much at stake here, Stew! Hans Grayson has already made his mark as one of the most promising champions in recent memory, but he’s stepping into the ring with a hungry challenger in Vincent Mondrian, a man who is more than eager to etch his name in the history books! Vincent knows the opportunity in front of him, and he’s not going to let Hans waltz into Road to Redemption unscathed!
Flannery McCoy: And that’s what makes this match so compelling! Hans Grayson’s focus has to be divided, with the specter of the Elimination Chamber looming over him. Can he juggle the pressure of retaining tonight and preparing for what could be the most brutal match of his career down the line?
Stew-O: Well, we’re about to find out as the two competitors lock up in the center of the ring! Hans Grayson with a collar-and-elbow tie-up, but Mondrian immediately transitions into a wristlock, cranking on the pressure! Vincent Mondrian wants to dictate the pace early on here, showing some technical prowess!
Jake Mercer: Smart move by the challenger! He’s trying to slow Hans down and keep him grounded. Everyone knows Hans thrives when he gets to unleash his high-octane offense, but Mondrian is doing his homework here, trying to wear down the champ’s base.
Stew-O: The earlier he can do that, then the better his chances will be. However, Hans isn’t willing to go down anytime soon! He quickly rolls forward to relieve the pressure, kips up AND COUNTERS WITH A WRISTLOCK OF HIS OWN! Mondrian tries to escape, but Hans shifts into a hammerlock! The champion showing his technical skills here too!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent is looking for an escape, but Hans has that hold cinched in tight! Mondrian backs Hans into the ropes, forcing the referee to intervene—AND MONDRIAN WITH A CHEAP SHOT ELBOW AS HE BREAKS FREE!
Jake Mercer: That’s what you gotta do, Flannery! No room for playing nice when there’s gold on the line! Mondrian needs to stay aggressive if he wants to stand a chance tonight.
Stew-O: Hans Grayson shakes off the blow, glaring daggers at Mondrian, who’s smirking and taunting the champ! But Hans isn’t letting that phase him—HE LUNGES FORWARD AND TAKES MONDRIAN DOWN WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Grayson is raining down forearms now, hammering away at Mondrian! The crowd is fired up as Hans unleashes that raw intensity he’s known for! Mondrian rolls out of the way and scrambles to his feet, but here comes Hans—DROPKICK! A BEAUTIFUL MANEUVER BY THE CHAMPION TAKES MONDRIAN DOWN AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: Grayson’s athleticism on full display here! He’s building momentum now, and that spells trouble for Mondrian! Hans is back to his feet, stalking Mondrian as he rises…SNAP SUPLEX! Hans goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: Mondrian kicks out at one, but Hans isn’t giving him any room to breathe! Hans pulls Mondrian back up—Irish whip into the corner—AND HERE COMES GRAYSON, LOOKING FOR A CORNER CLOTHESLINE—
Jake Mercer: NO! MONDRIAN MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Hans crashes into the turnbuckles, and Mondrian capitalizes with a vicious chop to the chest! Another chop! The sound echoes through the arena as Mondrian lights up the champion’s chest! Hans winces, but Vincent isn’t in the camp of relenting, because he comes in with a STIFF FOREARM TO THE CHEST! ALREADY LOOKING TO PUNISH HIM WITHIN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF THIS BOUT!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent is smart here, keeping the distance close between himself and the champion. He sweeps his feet, causing Grayson to drop into a seated position. He reels back, kicking him in the chest! What a shoot kick that was! Definitely looked and sounded unpleasant for Hans to deal with!
Stew-O: And now, Vincent is getting himself ready! He takes a few steps back and charges ahead! Basement dropkick into the corner—
Jake Mercer: NOPE! THIS TIME, HANS WAS THE ONE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CORNER! VINCENT DROPS ON HIS BACK ON THE MAT! HE GETS UP, BUT HE FAVORS THE LOWER SPINE, AND FROM BEHIND, HANS SEEKS TO CAPATILIZE QUICKLY! HE LIFTS HIM UP! BACK SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: NO! VINCENT LANDS ON HIS FEET! AND HE DELIVERS A SHARP KICK TO THE BACK OF HANS’ LEG! NOW, HE GRABS HOLD OF HIM! SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! HE QUICKLY TURNS IT INTO A PINNING ATTEMPT!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: Kickout at one from the champion. However, the challenger comes to a stand and delivers some stiff stomps to the chest and shoulders! Keeping him down before he has the chance to get back up!
Jake Mercer: Vincent is focused as can be! He nows pulls him back up—and he gets him down once more with a side Russian leg sweep! Mondrian now transitioning into a grounded headlock, trying to wear Hans down further! This is smart strategy from the challenger, forcing Hans to fight from underneath. Mondrian is making Hans work for every inch here.
Flannery McCoy: Looking to quell that fighting spirit the champion is known for so that he can end this match as soon as possible. The fans get a chant going, looking to encourage Hans out of this predicament. Vincent is wrenching it in tightly, trying to sap every ounce of energy from the champion, but Hans is not staying down! He’s shifting his weight, trying to get back to his feet!
Stew-O: Hans is up to one knee now, powering through the pain! Mondrian is shaking his head, trying to clamp the hold down even tighter, but Hans is forcing his way up! He delivers a sharp elbow to Mondrian’s ribs! And another! Mondrian loosens his grip—AND HANS BREAKS FREE WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE JAW! Mondrian stumbles back, clutching his face, and Hans takes the opportunity to bounce off the ropes! CLOTHESLINE FROM GRAYSON! Vincent goes down hard! But Hans isn’t done! He hits the ropes again and drops a DOUBLE FOOT STOMP STRAIGHT INTO HIS CHEST!
Jake Mercer: A little bit of payback from when Mondrian targeted Hans’ chest minutes ago! Hans grabs him and clubs him over the back a few times before whipping him into the corner! He runs in, and nails a flying back elbow! He rolls forward, gains some distance, and comes back in! STEP-UP KNEE INTO THE CORNER! THE CHAMPION IS GETTING SOME OF THAT FIRE GOING!
Flannery McCoy: That high-octane offense is coming into play already! He grabs Vincent by the head and runs forward! BULLDOG! WITH AUTHORITY! THE CHALLENGER IS NOW DOWN ON THE MAT, AND HANS GETS A MOVE ON, GOING TO THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: High risk, high reward time! The champion has his eyes locked onto the challenger as he gets to the top! He flies off…BANG! FROG SPLASH!
Jake Mercer: AND DID YOU SEE THE ELEVATION HE GOT FROM THAT?! THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! HOWEVER, AS MUCH AS THE EAW UNIVERSE IS GOING NUTS FOR WHAT THEY JUST SAW, HANS ISN’T GOING TO WASTE TIME MARVELING AT HIS OWN ATHLETIC FEATS! HE GETS A COVER!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: Shoulder up from Vincent Mondrian! Hans remains in control though, sitting him up and landing a kick to the back! Vincent winces, but Hans is able to strike with another one! Now, he grabs the challenger and stands him up. He goes for a kick to the gut—
Stew-O: Gets caught with a forearm! Hans staggers! Vincent closes the distance and looks to grab him, but Hans pushes him away—OH! AND HE FOLLOWED THAT UP WITH A SUPERKICK! VINCENT IS WEAK ON HIS FEET, UNABLE TO HAVE DEFENDED HIMSELF FROM THAT!
Jake Mercer: And Hans has a huge chance here! He hits the ropes and comes back on the rebound! He’s going for a clothesline—
Flannery McCoy: ROLLING FOREARM! HANS DROPS TO ONE KNEE! BUT VINCENT YANKS HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB! COVER!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Stew-O: Hans pops the shoulder up! However, the tides of this match has quickly changed in a blink of an eye, just like that, and it’s all thanks to the challenger tonight who is looking to pull out all the stops to win tonight!
Jake Mercer: He sure is! He gets up and shakes his head, looking to gain some measure of recovery. This match has been intense from the beginning! Vincent is able to shake out the cobwebs, but as he turns, Hans has rolled out to the apron on the outside. Still, giving the kind of Elitist Vincent is, I don’t know if this is smart or foolish on the champion’s part. :lupe: So many things could go wrong here!
Flannery McCoy: You’re absolutely right, and we could very well see why that is the case here as the challenger wastes no time, slipping through the ropes! Now, Vincent is on the apron, and he has his gaze locked on the champion who is trying to recover in his own right!
Stew-O: Vincent reaches over, grabbing Hans by the hair, and forcing him up. He pulls back with the other arm, and fires off, attacking with a solid, forceful punch! Hans looks to be rocked from that shot!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, no kidding! And he just got an extra serving of that knuckle sandwich too, to boot!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent lights him up with an uppercut, and Hans staggers backwards into the steel post! Not a good spot to be in!
Stew-O: Vincent charges in, going for a boot—NO! HANS CAUGHT IT! HE CAUGHT THE FOOT, AND VINCENT’S EYES WIDEN SLIGHTLY!
Jake Mercer: Hans was able to scope that out at the last second! He drops the leg, and kicks him in the gut! Mondrian’s hunched over! Hans slips back into the ring before quickly racing into the corner! TRIANGLE DROPKICK! WOW!
Flannery McCoy: Guess that was enough for Hans to find a way to get back into this match!
Stew-O: Hans is all fired up! He races to the ropes and has a ton of momentum behind him! He runs forward and takes off—
Jake Mercer: TOPE CON HILO ONTO VINCENT MONDRIAN! HE WIPED HIM OUT COMPLETELY!
Flannery McCoy: And the fans in attendance are all hyped up from that! They cheer as Hans takes Vincent up and throws him back into the ring! Vincent is rolled to the middle and Hans slides back in, covering him!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Stew-O: Kickout! Wasn’t enough to seal the deal for the champion to retain, but it was enough to have the challenger down! Hans nods his head, recognizing he still has some work left to do but not getting flustered because of it. He knew Vincent was going to be heading into this match extra determined to win, and likewise, Hans is equally determined to win tonight and come a step closer to potentially becoming a double champion in the near future!
Jake Mercer: Hans Grayson is laser-focused right now! He knows the stakes, and he’s keeping his composure like a true champion. Hans is back on his feet, and it looks like he’s plotting his next move!
Flannery McCoy: Hans grabs Vincent by the head and drags him to his feet. He hooks the arm and lifts him up, likely going for a suplex—NO! HANS TRANSITIONS MID-LIFT INTO A BRAINBUSTER! HE PLANTS VINCENT INTO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Hans Grayson with a tremendous show of strength and precision there! Vincent’s body just bounced off the canvas, and Hans isn’t wasting any time! He pops right back up and runs to the ropes!
Jake Mercer: Hans takes off and springs off—GETS IT! ‘FIRESAULT’!
Flannery McCoy: THAT HAS TO BE IT! HANS SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING BOTH LEGS!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: BUT VINCENT MONDRIAN IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER LIFTED! THIS MATCH CONTINUES!
Jake Mercer: WOW! VINCENT’S PERSISTANCE IS OUT ON FULL DISPLAY TONIGHT! BUT WE KNEW HE WASN’T GONNA BE GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT! HE WANTS TO BEAT HANS AND BECOME CHAMPION TONIGHT, NO MATTER WHAT!
Flannery McCoy: Still, you have to wonder how much fight he has left, because Hans is once again remaining composed and getting an immediate move on! He grabs Vincent by the wrist and pulls him up again, looking for another big move here to put potentially put him away for good this time around!
Stew-O: Hans has hold of Vincent! He gets his arm ready and looks to strike him, going for the ‘Heat Twist’!
Jake Mercer: OH! BUT VINCENT DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! HE SLIPS BEHIND HANS AND CATCHES HIM ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE! HOW WAS HE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THAT ONE!?
Flannery McCoy: I don’t know, but he was able to avoid one of Hans’ more brutal moves right there! The champion is staggered from that, and the challenger quickly takes advantage of the opening presented to him! He grabs Hans and lifts him up…!
Stew-O: FALCON ARROW! HANS IS SLAMMED DOWN—BUT VINCENT ISN’T DONE! NOT BY A LONGSHOT! HE’S UP AGAIN WITH THE CHAMPION! KEEPING HANS GRAYSON IN HIS GRIP—AND TRANSITIONS INTO AN X-PLEX! THAT’S ‘HELL’S PARADISE’! HE HIT IT! VINCENT MONDRIAN JUST NAILED ONE OF HIS TRADEMARK MOVES OUT OF NOWHERE! WHAT A DEVASTATING SEQUENCE! THAT CAUSES THE CHAMPION’S BODY TO BE DRIVEN INTO THE MAT WITH BRUTAL FORCE! VINCENT QUICKLY SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THR—
Flannery McCoy: HANS GRAYSON KICKS OUT!!! OH MY GOD! THE CHAMPION STAYS ALIVE!
Jake Mercer: SO HE IS, BUT IT’S CLEAR TO SEE THAT SEQUENCE TOOK A LOT OUT OF HIM! VINCENT LAYS BACK ON THE MAT, TAKING DEEP, SHARP BREATHS, DOING THE BEST HE CAN TO RECOVER QUICKLY!
Stew-O: It truly is coming down to the wire at this point! Both champion and challenger have taken each other to task since the opening bell with little time to rest in between!
Flannery McCoy: It truly has been a full throttle contest thus far! But in the moment, Vincent seems to be the better-off Elitist! He sits up and then heads over to Hans, where he mounts him! He strikes him repeatedly with stiff forearms to the face, battering him!
Jake Mercer: No mercy, but that’s how it has to be if he wants to win! If he’s serious about winning that championship!
Stew-O: Vincent Mondrian is in full control right now! After delivering one of the most devastating moves in his arsenal, he’s not giving Hans Grayson a second to breathe. Those forearm shots are unrelenting, and you can see the bit of desperation and urgency in Vincent’s strikes! He knows how close he is to walking out as the new Interwire Champion!
Flannery McCoy: The referee is giving Vincent some leeway here, but he’s warning him to ease up on those closed strikes! Mondrian finally lets up, but he’s got a vicious glare on his face! It’s like he knows he can’t let this slip away now!
Jake Mercer: Mondrian is back to his feet, dragging Hans up along with him. Look at the way he’s methodically working Hans ove! He hooks Hans by the arm…SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE! Hans goes down hard, and Vincent holds onto the wrist, pulling him back up for another one! HE GETS IT! ANOTHER SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS!
Stew-O: Mondrian is targeting the upper body now, doing everything he can to weaken Hans even further. He pulls the champion up one more time, and this time, he SPINS HIM INTO A SPINEBUSTER! HANS IS DOWN YET AGAIN! Vincent drops to a knee, clearly worn out from this back-and-forth war, but he’s wasting no time! He drags Hans to the middle of the ring and rolls him over, LOCKING IN A FUJIWARA ARMBAR!
Jake Mercer: Smart move from Mondrian! This will not only punish Hans further, but it could force a submission out of the champion if Hans can’t find a way to escape! Mondrian is cranking back on the arm, putting an insane amount of pressure on the shoulder and elbow of Hans Grayson!
Flannery McCoy: The pain on Hans’ face says it all! He’s in a world of trouble right now, and Mondrian has that armbar cinched in tight! Hans is trying to roll through, trying to shift the pressure, but Mondrian transitions seamlessly to maintain control! That’s the veteran technical expertise of Vincent Mondrian at work!
Stew-O: But listen to this crowd! They’re chanting for Hans, willing him to fight through the pain and get to the ropes! Hans is clawing at the mat, using every ounce of strength he has left to drag himself closer and closer to the ropes!
Jake Mercer: Mondrian is shaking his head, yelling at Hans to tap! He’s pouring everything into this hold, trying to force the champion to submit! But Hans—he’s so close—HE REACHES OUT…!
Flannery McCoy: HE GOT IT! HE HAS THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Referee:(off-mic) ROPE BREAK! LET GO OF THE HOLD, MONDRIAN!
Stew-O: Mondrian reluctantly releases the hold, but you can see the frustration building on his face! He thought he had the match won there, but Hans Grayson refuses to give up!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent is back on his feet now, stalking Hans like a hunter circling wounded prey. He grabs Hans by the leg and drags him back to the center of the ring—this time he’s going for an ankle lock! Vincent Mondrian is systematically targeting every part of Hans’ body, breaking him down piece by piece!
Jake Mercer: Mondrian locks it in! The ankle lock is applied, and Hans is screaming in agony! This is what Mondrian does best!
Stew-O: Hans is in absolute agony right now, but he’s still fighting! He’s twisting and turning, trying to find a way out of this hold! Hans is reaching out again, trying to grab the ropes—but Mondrian is shaking his head, pulling Hans further away from the ropes and back to the center of the ring!
Flannery McCoy: This is bad for Hans, but look—he’s using his free leg now, trying to kick Mondrian off! Hans is using every bit of his resourcefulness to survive here, and the crowd is going absolutely wild for him!
Jake Mercer: Hans manages to break the hold with a stiff kick to Mondrian’s face! Vincent stumbles back, shaking his head in frustration, and Hans rolls away, clutching at his leg! The damage has been done, but Hans is still alive in this match!
Stew-O: Mondrian rushes toward Hans, looking to keep the pressure on, but Hans catches him with a drop toe hold! Mondrian’s face bounces off the mat, and Hans uses the opening to pull himself back to his feet—albeit on wobbly legs!
Flannery McCoy: Hans can barely stand, but he’s feeding off the energy of the crowd! Mondrian gets back to his feet—AND HANS CATCHES HIM WITH A PELE KICK OUT OF NOWHERE! Mondrian stumbles into the corner, and Hans is rallying now!
Jake Mercer: How is Hans even standing after the damage Mondrian has done to his leg?! This is pure grit, pure determination from the champion! Hans limps toward Mondrian in the corner, unleashing a flurry of stiff forearms and chops to the chest!
Stew-O: Mondrian is trying to cover up, but Hans is relentless! He grabs Vincent by the arm! Irish whip to the opposite corner! Hans charges forward! RUNNING CORNER DROPKICK! EVEN ON ONE GOOD LEG, HANS IS DELIVERING WITH EVERYTHING HE’S GOT!
Jake Mercer: Vincent stumbles out of the corner—AND THE CHAMPION BLASTS HIM WITH THE ‘FLAMING PUNCH’!! VINCENT GOES DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: HERE WE GO! HANS FALLS INTO THE COVER TO RETAIN TONIGHT!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: NO! VINCENT MONDRIAN KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND, AND THIS TIME, THE CHAMPION LOOKS SLIGHTLY SURPRISED BY THAT! THAT WAS ANOTHER MAJOR MOVE THE CHALLENGER WAS ABLE TO SURVIVE!
Jake Mercer: WELL, THAT’S BEEN THE TALE OF THIS MATCH, HASN’T IT!? BOTH HANS AND VINCENT HAS BEEN GOING NUTS, AND YET THEY’RE STILL PUSHING THOUGH ALL THE PAIN AND PUNISHMENT THEY’VE GIVEN EACH OTHER TO KEEP THIS GOING! HOWEVER, ONLY ONE OF THEM CAN WIN, AND JUDGING BY HOW IT LOOKS CURRENTLY, HANS JUST NEEDS ONE MORE TRICK OUT OF HIS BAG TO GET THE JOB FINALLY DONE!
Flannery McCoy: This could very well be it! Hans is up, even if he’s having to walk on his foot more gingerly! He heads out to the apron, gripping the top rope, and all of the fans are standing up on their feet, letting loose! Hans is calling for it! We know what this is going to be….!
Stew-O: And Vincent staggers up to his feet, using the ropes! However, he sees Hans and runs, or more like stumbles, towards him! He reaches over, grabbing him by the head—
Jake Mercer: BUT HANS SHOVES HIM AWAY—AND VINCENT INADVERTANTLY TUMBLES TOWARDS THE REFEREE! THEY BOTH GO DOWN! BUT I DON’T THINK THE OFFICIAL IS GONNA BE TOO BADLY HURT, BECAUSE UNLIKE OTHER PROMOTIONS, OUR REFEREES ARE ACTUALLY COMPETENT!
Flannery McCoy: Hans pauses a moment, realizing what happened! However, Vincent is beginning to stir, and Hans snaps out of it! He knows he HAS to hit this, no matter what!
Stew-O: AND HERE IT COMES! HANS LOOKS TO LEAP UP—
(THUD!)
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE!?
Flannery McCoy: HANS GOT HIT! HANS GOT IT! SOMEONE CAME RUNNING OUT THROUGH THE CROWD AND HIT HIM IN THE ANKLE WITH A STEEL PIPE! DAMN IT! BUT WHO WAS IT!?
(The camera shifts over to the perpetrator who escaping through the crowded area, and the fans boo, recognizing who it is..)
Stew-O: IT’S IMPACT! IMPACT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND STRUCK HIM!
Flannery McCoy: WAS HIM GETTING INVOLVED IN HANS AND JOSO’S MATCH LAST WEEK NOT ENOUGH!?
Jake Mercer: NOW YOU KNOW WHY HE DID THAT! IT WAS FROM THE DEBATE EARLIER IN THE NIGHT! IMPACT TOOK GREAT EXCEPTION TO HANS TALKING SMACK TO HIM, AND THIS IS HIS FORM OF RELATIALTION! HE WARNED HIM ABOUT MAKING AN ENEMY OUT OF HIM!
Flannery McCoy: BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE IT RIGHT! THIS CAN’T GO DOWN LIKE THIS!
Stew-O: I’M AFRAID IT WILL, BECAUSE IMPACT IS GONE NOW AND THE REFEREE HAS RECOVERED! THEY ALONG WITH VINCENT NEVER REALIZED WHAT WENT ON; HANS IS ON THE APRON CLUTCHING HIS ANKLE, AND VINCENT SEES THIS! HOWEVER, WITH HIM ATTACKING THAT PART OF THE BODY EARLIER, HE THINKS THAT HANS IS REACTING TO THE DAMAGE HE DID RATHER THAN REALIZING IT WAS IMPACT’S HANDIWORK!
Jake Mercer: AND LIKE A SHARK SMELLING BLOOD IN THE WATER, VINCENT MONDRIAN STRIKES! HE PULLS HANS THROUGH THE ROPES, PROPPING HIM UP THROUGH THE MIDDLE ONE AND DROPS HIM WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED VARIANT OF THE ‘MENOS GRANDE’!! MY GOD, HANS GOT SPIKED!!
Flannery McCoy: AND THAT’S NOT AT ALL! SEIZING THE CHANCE, VINCENT HAULS HANS UP! ‘VAN GOGH ASCENDANCY!”
Stew-O: THE INVERTED HEADLOCK INTO THE DDT LANDS FLUSH, AND THE FANS HERE IN TORONTO CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE WITNESSING! HANS GRAYSON IS DOWN! VINCENT MONDRIAN IS STANDING! AND NOW, THE CHALLENGER DRAGS THE FALLEN CHAMPION TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING! NOWHERE TO GO, VINCENT GOES FOR THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: HE DID IT! NEW CHAMPION!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’, and the fans burst out into a myriad of emotions. Most of it is shock, especially stemming from Impact’s interference that ultimately played a part in the outcome. However, cheers can also be heard, as it’s always amazing seeing a new champion being crowned, and Vincent’s efforts did not go unnoticed by portions of the EAW Universe. Vincent himself notices the mixed reception, but he brushes it off as he recovers and comes to a stand, chucking it up to him besting the home nation’s boy. All that matters to him is the win, and most importantly, becoming the champion.)
Stephie Love: Here is YOUR winner… aaaaaaaaaannnnnnnd NEW EAW Interwire Champion… VIIIIIINCEEEEEEENT MOOOOOOOONDRIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAN!
(The referee hands the title to Vincent, who takes it and raises it up triumphantly, shouting out to the crowd.)
Stew-O: He did it! He got the win! Vincent Mondrian defeated Hans Grayson, and is the new Interwire Champion! He will be heading to Road to Redemption with his first career title in EAW!
Jake Mercer: Well, we are now living in the time where the Vasto Lorde reigns supreme! He really did put up a fight to get to this point and has improved tremendously throughout his time here!
Flannery McCoy: It is incredible, but at the same time, it sucks that his win will likely be marred by controversy. Unbeknownst to Vincent, Impact came along and screwed things up for Hans, causing the now-former Interwire Champion to go down before he could hit his finisher and seal away this match!
Jake Mercer: Well, Flann, that’s just how the cookie crumbles. Professional wrestling has never been kind or fair! It sucks, and a part of my heart does go out to Hans and all of the Graysonites tonight who were hoping he’d have the chance to win and become double champion, but nothing is guaranteed in EAW! But hey, at least he is in the chamber, so if he wants gold again, he knows what he must do!
Stew-O: Definitely various conflicting emotions here tonight. However, all that matters is that when chaos ensued, Vincent Mondrian was able to pull ahead and get the job done. It may not have been the most ideal way for him to win, but this is a monumental victory for him, and with it, his name is now entwined with the various greats who have once held that very same championship that is in his possession. Congratulations to Vincent on netting the biggest win of his career here in EAW, and welcome to the Champion’s club!
(Vincent scales the turnbuckle, once more raising the Interwire Championship up high. Meanwhile, on the outside sitting down by the barricade is Hans Grayson, who is not happy at all about what transpired. However, all he can do is watch as the final decision has already been made, and the last shot shows Vincent smirking before Super Dynasty fades to commercials.)
(A commercial plays for iHop.)
(As the scene cuts back to the ring, ‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West can be heard throughout the speakers as the audience reacts loudly for the arrival of Cy Henderson. Cy emerges from the back with a stern expression before beginning to walk down the ramp, not giving much of a glance to the rest of the crowd.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, PLEASE WELCOME… CYYYYYY HENDERSON!!!
Stew-O: Here we have the EAW Hall of Famer making his way out as I’m sure everyone is waiting to see what he says. A tumultuous couple of weeks it has certainly been as Cy has been rather disgruntled with a fellow Hall of Famer, and I’m certain they will air out all of their respective transgressions right here.
Flannery McCoy: I can understand that much but at some point, I’m sure it’s all gonna boil over into something quite catastrophic considering who both of these men are! Multi-time World Champions, acclaimed beyond that point as well, there’s no telling what they’re gonna be capable of if they stand across from one another.
Jake Mercer: Won’t shock me at all to see these two come to blows another time tonight, Cy Henderson has been a diligent man with his efforts and he’s not gonna stop himself from pursuing what he deems to be correct. Now we get to hear him speak in front of this packed audience tonight…
(Cy stands inside the ring as the music dies down, and he soon raises the mic to speak.)
Cy Henderson: Level with me here. These last couple of weeks have told me more about Myles than I first thought, but it’s certainly been enough for me to understand the kind of man he is. I give him my two cents on this shallow little bravado he’s upholding for himself, and what happens next isn’t all too surprising the more that I glossed over it. He believes himself to be such an emphatic cut above an elitist of my caliber, then proceeds to dare me to make our gripes become a matter that can’t be ignored. At this rate, who am I to not oblige? I’ll take it to the next step by costing him his match with Drake Armstrong, it is exactly what he deserved before the tag match that happened the following week. That didn’t end how I hoped, but even then this is far from over. After everything that’s happened, I’m well aware of the chip that Myles has on his shoulder—but I will make this as transparent as humanly possible.
Cy Henderson: I did nothing wrong. When I first spoke to him right after his acceptance of Joso as World Heavyweight Champion, I wanted to steer him back on the right track. My words were meant to encourage him to get on that chase with immediate effect, making sure that he knew how to grow a pair and be his own man instead of having to chop himself down for others. There’s nothing noble about that, and he needs to understand that more than anyone else. But he didn’t take heed to my words by any fiber, instead he chose to disrespect me, and it was the metaphorical slap in the face that led to me playing my hand in the match with Drake. This has all escalated, that much is evident. We both have a problem in our hands that won’t be resolved so swiftly…
(Cy glances toward the ramp.)
Cy Henderson: Let’s get this sorted, Myles. Settle this problem directly to my face, and I won’t have any problems getting my hands dirty if I have to.
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi can be heard blaring throughout the speakers now as the audience reacts with praise for the arrival of Myles. He makes his way down the ramp as he sports a slight grin on his face while entering the ring with a microphone in hand, almost amused.)
Myles: I’ll tell you what, Cy. It’s abundantly clear that my mere existence has struck a nerve with you on all fronts. From my words, down to my actions, you can’t seem to not share this animosity with me. Your loss against myself and Minerva last week clearly wasn’t in the books, you’ve taken all of this rather personally & ever since you’ve diverted to this bad guy persona? You’ve had such a fragile little ego. You can’t take loss easily, and that’s even stronger when it’s against somebody who you are so at odds with. I’ve got nothing to prove to you, Cy. The only reason I’m even engaging with this in the first place is all because of how you started this. But I’ll let you in on this much.
(Myles keeps his eyes set directly on Cy.)
Myles: I’m never one to back down from a challenge, and certainly not one to listen to your empty-headed threats either.
Cy Henderson: So what I’m hearing is that you’re going to continue to refuse these words? Is that right, Myles? For somebody who’s done so much, you really do have a bad ear for a proper voice. You don’t understand how slowing down and taking it easy will cost you, it’s bound to happen if you really accept complacency. Matter of fact, it’s guaranteed for you Myles. You’ve already lost your touch since losing the title, and if you continue this way, you won’t ever get near the same heights that you once attained.
Myles: That doesn’t concern me, Cy. It just doesn’t, and you refuse to accept that for your own sake. I already said it before, and I’ll make it known again. I’m in no rush, ‘cause I’m more focused on wanting to face the very best that this business has to offer. And as far as I’m concerned? There’s an opportunity for exactly that standing right in front of me.
(Myles steps forward.)
Myles: You. Me. Road to Redemption.
(The crowd responds ecstatically as they show excitement for the announcement. However, after some pondering from Cy, he begins to chuckle as he raises his microphone.)
Cy Henderson: I’m just fine. You’re not worth my time ‘till you prove otherwise. Till then… It’s a no from me.
(Cy drops the mic, as he proceeds to walk off from the ring and step through the ropes as Myles just shakes his own head with a slight smirk. Henderson doesn’t bother glancing back as he walks up the ramp, as the scene closes out from there with uncertainty throughout the arena.)
(A commercial plays for Road to Redemption.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following main event contest is an Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifying match, scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke can be heard throughout the speakers as the audience responds with immense reactions. Chris Elite emerges from the back with a confident & focused expression on his face, nodding to the reactions as he walks down the ramp looking forward to the match tonight as he sets his eyes onto the ring ahead.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Brooklyn, New York! Weighing in at 210 pounds… CHRISSSSSSSS, ELITE!!!
Stew-O: Chris Elite is vying for a monumental opportunity tonight that could take him toward becoming World Champion once more! Has been quite some time since he’s been able to hold world championship gold, so you can imagine how important tonight will be for him.
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely, this is exactly what Chris Elite needs to come out of with a win in order to put himself on the best path possible. Although that will be easier said than done, as he’s got quite the test ahead of himself with his opponent tonight.
(‘Survivor’ by The Score can be heard throughout the arena as Rex McAllister makes his way outward from the entrance ramp as he has a positive expression, giving a brief glance toward the audience. He looks at the crowd with a reassuring nod, as he’s also glancing toward Raven Roberts, who accompanies him with a slight grin on her own face. He then makes his way down the ramp with optimism for another Dynasty main event.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! From Sea Isle, New Jersey, weighing in at 238 pounds… REXXXXX MCALLISTER!!!
Stew-O: Rex McAllister has been able to score quite the big wins over these last few weeks after his win alongside Raven Roberts as Fire & Ice at Wicked Games, and the victory against Drake King through a Dynasty main event keeps his momentum riding high for this match.
Jake Mercer: We cannot count out Chris Elite, as he can definitely surprise anyone with his tenacity and willingness to keep on giving the best fight possible. This will be a true main event between two EAW Hall of Famers who want nothing more than to attain gold yet again.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And we’re off! Chris Elite takes on Rex McAllister right here on the main event of Super Dynasty! Both of these EAW Hall of Famers are looking to qualify into the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption for the World Heavyweight Championship, and there’s no better way of doing that than seeing what will surely be a contested barn burner between both of these men! Elite was seeking out any opportunity that he could garner, and he was given exactly that with this match that wasn’t necessarily what Rex was looking for, but it’s a chance at the world championship in the all too soon future!
Flannery McCoy: McAllister was certainly not expecting to be given this kind of opportunity as we all know his intentions were aligned more closely with Raven on their own opportunity as the tandem duo that is Fire & Ice. However, this is not a match that anyone can take lightly, and for sure we can expect Rex to give it his all in order to succeed in a win tonight! Both men are circling the ring now as they pace steadily, before McAllister lifts his own arms up and as does Chris with both elitists now moving forward for the collar and elbow tie-up here!
Jake Mercer: But Rex maneuvers around Chris Elite here and has applied a swift waist lock with good measure! Rex then hoists Chris up into the air & off the mat before planting him back down onto the mat to maintain the hold!! Chris is now struggling a fair bit here as Rex is maintaining this waist lock to the best of his abilities, but they may not keep Chris down for too long as he’s now bringing himself back up to his feet, and it’s not long before McAllister is trying to hoist Elite off the mat again—only for Chris to flip himself over his shoulders and land on his feet right behind Rex!
Stew-O: Before McAllister could even react we have Chris getting his arms around his head and applying an emphatic headlock right here!! Chris then proceeds to place his foot right onto the back of Rex’s knee as he’s now forcing McAllister to drop to a knee, and this allows Chris to have much more leverage here as he’s now mounting the headlock efficiently over the larger opponent that is Rex McAllister! Rex is taking his time to figure out the situation, not in the biggest rush but still vying for control while Chris is looking to slow McAllister down as much as he can for the time being.
Flannery McCoy: McAllister is able to bring himself back up now as he’s on both feet here, and Chris is doing whatever he can to maintain the headlock but that’s not quite enough as REX PLANTS HIM DOWN WITH A BACK SUPLEX!! Chris is able to motion around and toward the ropes here, quickly dragging himself up to the quickest that he can—BUT REX IS QUICKER! HE FOLLOWS UP WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP across the chest of Chris Elite! McAllister keeps Chris leaning back against the ropes and doesn’t hold himself back by sending ANOTHER chop spiraling across his chest! Very unfortunate for Chris as it looks like Rex isn’t done just yet… A THIRD CHOP FOLLOWS!!!
Stew-O: This flurry of chops is really not doing Chris any good right now as he’s hurrying to the corner! We can already see that his chest is slowly beginning to swell, and now Rex follows him to the corner as he proceeds to send several elbow smashes across the jaw of Chris Elite! The referee begins to count down here as Rex makes sure he’s not employing the pressure for long, backing himself away from Elite while he still can as the referee gives him a brief sum of warnings for a potential disqualification. But that doesn’t stop Rex from keeping his focus on Chris as he rushes forward for a clothesline in the corner!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT THE BOOT UP FROM CHRIS NAILS REX ACROSS THE JAW!! McAllister is now backing himself away from Elite as he’s clutching onto his jaw, but that doesn’t stop him from turning himself around to rush forward again with a forearm smash to keep Chris suppressed in the corner—but Chris maneuvers through the ropes and onto the apron just as McAllister is trying to keep him from recovering! AND THEN LANDS AN ENZIGURI ACROSS HIS TEMPLE as this causes Rex to stumble away from the corner entirely! McAllister is dazed at the moment as Chris has now found himself a very sizable opening here! Rex is trying to shape off the enziguri while Elite LEAPS UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE!!
Jake Mercer: AS CHRIS ELITE LEAPS OFF AND NAILS A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE ONTO REX MCALLISTER!! McAllister is being placed through the turmoil now as he’s clutching onto his own jaw while trying to keep himself mobile enough! Chris is moving himself back up onto his own feet while McAllister is using the ropes to bring himself back up! Elite isn’t slowing himself down here as he’s rushing the ropes & now motioning back toward Rex McAllister as his opponent doesn’t seem to be all too aware of what’s rushing toward him!
Stew-O: AS A RUNNING DROPKICK FROM CHRIS SENDS REX THROUGH THE ROPES!! McAllister’s taken to the ringside floor all due to Chris turning up the gas and firing off on all cylinders tonight! Rex is trying to drag himself back up here as Raven can be seen a couple feet away from him, watching on as McAllister is trying to bring himself back up as quickly as he can despite the pressure he’s been met with so far!
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite has returned back to his feet however, and it’s not looking too good for Rex here as Chris has left him in the best position possible to be in his own wheelhouse! Rex is bringing himself back up after using the barricade to get back to his feet while Chris is now rushing himself toward the ropes and then RUSHING BACK BEFORE RUSHING THROUGH THE ROPES WITH A SUICIDE DIVE—
Jake Mercer: BUT REX CAUGHT HIM!! Chris is wide-eyed as he’s just been caught by Rex McAllister to halt the suicide dive—BEFORE BEING SENT ACROSS THE RINGSIDE FLOOR WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!! Chris is squirming around as all of his lower back took the brunt of the impact there with emphatic effect! And now Rex is bringing himself up as he’s able to recover a far better deal than Chris will be able to! McAllister walks himself over to Elite as he’s dragging him back over to the apron! Rex has Chris positioned accordingly as he’s now able to HOIST HIM UP!
Stew-O: AS A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX ONTO THE APRON IS ABLE TO PUT CHRIS ELITE DOWN!! Rex proceeds to roll Chris further into the ring as he’s now returning back into the ring with a slide of his own! Chris has his own hand over his lower back as he’s just taken two harrowing maneuvers back to back, and Rex is now hooking the leg here as the referee is now counting the pin!!!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: NOPE! NOT ENOUGH! Chris Elite is able to kick out as Rex nods to himself, understanding that there’s plenty of fight to be had with Chris here as he’s now gonna keep on staying resilient as ever! But Rex does recognize this rather quickly as he’s now situating himself directly over Chris Elite, and he moved into a seated position as he’s now dragging his arms over and around his own knees!
Jake Mercer: TO APPLY THE CAMEL CLUTCH!! Chris Elite is left in quite a bad way here as Rex McAllister has all of his own body weight being placed over his lower back while the hands are clasped right under his chin! Chris is trying to look around and see if there’s any room here to make anything happen, but that’s gonna be impossible with how tightly locked in Rex has this camel clutch! We may be seeing McAllister fast track himself directly toward another World Championship opportunity and his first of this season!
Stew-O: Not so fast! Chris Elite is fighting through all of the pressure that he’s being placed through by his opponent as he’s finding the will to bring himself up onto a more advantageous position! He’s somehow able to lift Rex’s own bodyweight up from the mat level while McAllister is still trying to keep the camel clutch applied!!! Chris Elite is mustering up all of the strength possible to pull off a feat such as this!! BUT REX DROPS TO HIS FEET AND LOOKS TO SEND CHRIS ELITE FLYING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: BUT CHRIS LANDS ON HIS FEET AFTER FLIPPING HIMSELF OVER! Rex is given absolutely no time to even react to the counter of the german suplex as CHRIS IMMEDIATELY TURNS HIMSELF AROUND WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT RIGHT ONTO REX MCALLISTER!!! Chris is now moving away from Rex as he’s unleashed the moonsault out of sheer reflex there, but he’s still hurting a fair bit from the struggle that he had to endure since the failed suicide five attempt! Rex McAllister is clutching his own abdomen but now he’s working himself back up to a proper stance!
Stew-O: WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY CHRIS MOVES OVER TO NAIL REX WITH A STRONG FOREARM!! Rex is sent against the ropes as he now uses this additional momentum from the rebound to run forward and PUT CHRIS BACK DOWN WITH A LARIAT—BUT CHRIS DUCKS & REX TURNS AROUND DIRECTLY INTO THE ‘HEADSHOT’!! Pele kick nails McAllister as he is stirring in place after the kick across his temple!! Chris moves himself back up to his feet as he’s now dragging Rex over… AND USED ALL OF HIS STRENGTH TO HOIST HIM AS WELL!!
Jake Mercer: AS THE SIT-OUT POWERBOMB IS SUCCESSFUL! Chris used all of his energy to hoist Rex up and plant him down with the powerbomb while maintaining the pin as the shoulders are down for his opponent! The referee slides to the count!!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: BUT THAT’S NOT IT! KICK OUT!! Rex McAllister has plenty that’s still left in that tank while Chris is shaking his own head, but now understands that he’s gonna have to do much more in order to put down a man that has been able to persevere from time to time again! Elite doesn’t waste any time in dragging Rex over to the nearest corner of the ring, now proceeding to prop McAllister against the turnbuckle in a seated position as it appears he knows exactly what’s in store next!
Flannery McCoy: Chris doesn’t relent back at all here as he’s now sending down the STOMPS ONE AFTER THE OTHER right onto McAllister’s chest! Each stomp with more considerable impact than the last as the referee is now counting down on Chris to let up on the stomps or he could truly risk getting himself disqualified here! Thankfully Chris does back away before the count of five, raising his hands briefly before only backing away for a moment as he’s looking to make the rush back toward Rex IN THE FORM OF THE DOUBLE KNEES INTO THE CORNER—
Jake Mercer: A SUDDEN CLOTHESLINE FROM REX MCALLISTER TURNS CHRIS ELITE INSIDE OUT!! Where did that come from?!? Rex just emerged from the corner with a sudden burst of energy as he was able to take Chris through the ringer of his own merits with a clothesline that was very impactful in its delivery!! Chris is rolling himself over to the apron now, evading any chance of being pinned right then and there as now Rex will have to figure himself into seeking out this opportunity to bring him back onto the mat! This can turn for the worse for either man!
Stew-O: Now Rex is able to bring himself back up while Chris Elite is trying to get back up as well, with McAllister rushing over to Chris and getting the EAW Hall of Famer into position here as he’s now seeking out this next step with the OLYMPIC SLAM—BUT CHRIS ON HIS FEET RIGHT BEHIND REX AS HE RUSHES THE ROPES AND THEN RUNS HIMSELF BACK TOWARD REX WITH THE ‘OPP SPOTTER’ TORPEDO MOSCOW!!! MCALLISTER IS DOWN AS CHRIS RUSHES HIMSELF OVER TO THE COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREE—
Flannery McCoy: NO! NOT ENOUGH! Rex is able to kick himself out of the pin as Chris sits up in a hurry! Now Chris Elite is feeling the effects of this match and uncertainty that’s arising from a match of this magnitude here! Elite is bringing himself upward and emphasizing a lot of his focus on ensuring that Rex can stay down, and here he goes back up to his feet while McAllister sits himself up… as Chris doesn’t waste another moment to RUSH HIMSELF OVER WITH THE ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’—
Jake Mercer: BUT REX CAUGHT HIS FOOT! Chris is hopping on one leg as McAllister is getting himself back up to his feet while trying to assume back into the stance he wants to have! He then pulls Elite’s foot up to make Chris flip himself over and onto his own feet—DIRECTLY INTO A JUMPING HIGH KNEE!!! MY GOODNESS THAT HAD TO HAVE HURT! Chris Elite was just nailed by that immense knee as he’s now on wobbly legs here!
Stew-O: McAllister doesn’t waste another moment as he’s making sure that Chris remains in the stance that he is while struggling to keep himself conscious enough! Elite hasn’t been able to retaliate for a second here as Rex quickly turns Chris around and gets him into position.. BEFORE NAILING THE OLYMPIC SLAM TO TAKE CHRIS ELITE DOWN!! Chris is down and out as McAllister quickly rushes himself over to the hook of the leg!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREE—
Flannery McCoy: NO! NOT ENOUGH!! Rex sees that he can’t slow himself down or allow Chris any room to breathe here as he’s now rushing into the next move! He’s bringing himself up while eagerly waiting for Chris to bring himself back up as he’s got a plan in motion here, with Elite now dragging his own weight back up as he’s disoriented WITH REX RUSHING FORWARD TO PUT HIM DOWN WITH THE ‘REX EFFECT’—
Jake Mercer: ‘SNOOZE’ FROM CHRIS ELITE!! THE UPPERCUT CAUSES REX TO BE STAGGERED INTO THE ROPES! But now here’s Rex rushing himself forward back toward Elite as he’s looking to launch off with the YAKUZA KICK!!
Stew-O: BUT CHRIS SIDESTEPS AS REX NEARLY LAUNCHED TO HIT THE REFEREE INSTEAD!! McAllister stops himself at the nick of time as he’s raising his hands in the air now, before turning himself back around here AS THE ‘ALMIGHTY PUSH’ CAUSES CHRIS TO POUNCE REX DIRECTLY INTO THE REFEREE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: THE REFEREE IS DOWN ON THE APRON! Raven is eagerly checking on the referee as Chris is now backing himself into the corner here, and McAllister is currently down flat on his back as Elite is now RUSHING FORWARD TO KEEP HIS OPPONENT DOWN WITH ‘HOURS IN SILENCE’!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT REX CAUGHT HIS FOOT WHILE HE LEAPED UP!! MCALLISTER IS GETTING HIMSELF INTO POSITION TO APPLY THE ‘REX LOCK’!!! CHRIS SEEMS TO BE EAGERLY REACHING AROUND HERE BUT MCALLISTER IS GONNA GET HIM INTO THIS SUBMISSION—
(POW!!!!)
Stew-O: WHAT THE HELL??!?? CHRIS JUST NAILED REX ACROSS THE JAW WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES!!!! MCALLISTER IS DOWN AS CHRIS IS DESPERATELY MOVING HIMSELF UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!
Flannery McCoy: ‘AIMIN FOR THE MOON’!!!! CHRIS IS ABOUT TO STEAL A VICTORY AS THE REFEREE IS FINALLY BACK TO A CONSCIOUS STATE!
Jake Mercer: HIS FEET ON OUR THE ROPES AS WELL!! THE LEVERAGE PIN IS APPLIED!!!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. AND MOVING ON THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER… CHRISSSS ELITE!!!
Flannery McCoy: I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! Chris Elite just stole that win as he had to resort to the most underhanded tactics possible to win! Rex was about to place him into a maneuver where he knew he wasn’t gonna be able to get himself out of!
Jake Mercer: Chris did what he had to do in order to get the job done! He hasn’t had the greatest streak of bouts lately, so he surely needed this win and he punched his own ticket to the Extreme Elimination Chamber!
Stew-O: Controversial result at hand, as we are aware of how the referee being taken down was crucial to Chris’ victory tonight, but it’s still a win for him right here in this qualifier match on Dynasty. Congratulations to Chris Elite, and thank you for tuning in! See you all next week!
(‘Invincible’ can be heard throughout the speakers again as Chris Elite is able to bring himself back up, nodding to himself as he quickly slips the brass knuckles back into his own tights as the referee raises his hand. Rex clutches his own jaw as he shakes his head while Raven remains by him with the scene soon fading out.)
