(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap is shown of last week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage, with Jamie Cross, AJ Redding, Drake King, Jack Ripley, Donovan Duke, and Alex Myers getting wins. The camera then goes to the Estadio Mary Terán de Weiss in Buenos Aires, Argentina where the crowd is electric tonight and on their feet. A beautiful array of pyro is seen erupting from the stage before the camera from there transitions over to the commentary desk where Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone are seen standing by.)
Rich Russillo: We are TWO WEEKS away from King of Elite! Welcoming you all tonight to yet another episode of Sunday Night Voltage!
Persephone: sigh…
James Peters: Lucius Crowe faces the debuting Draco! Jamie Cross faces Valerie Hellstorm! Luis De La Rosa faces Hayley Morrow! Cameron Ella Ava faces Bea Valentine! And in the main event! Drake King and Rex McAllister team up to face Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro! This is a show that you do not want to miss!
(Sunday Night Voltage then goes from the broadcasting booth to the stage as ‘Stronger (salü remix)’ by The Score is heard playing through the speakers of the arena. The crowd erupts into cheers as Rex McAllister is seen making his way out. He has a smile on his face as he hypes up the fans in attendance before making his way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… EAW HALL OF FAMER!!!!!!!! REX MCALLISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Rex McAllister is out here to kick off the show and it seems he looks to address everything that has transpired these past couple of weeks. He has his match for the EAW World Championship, but that hasn’t come without backlash.
James Peters: Drake King and the Champion Charlie Marr are not happy about it in different ways. Drake doesn’t think that Rex deserves to be in the match, and Charlie just thinks that Rex is wasting his time. Rex seems to be looking to address all of that tonight!
(Rex makes his way up the steps and enters into the ring. He makes his way over and spreads his arms out as the crowd continues to cheer loudly for the EAW World Champion. He then heads over and takes a microphone from the ringside area while ‘Stronger (salü remix)’ begins to come to a close. Rex then heads toward the center of the ring and takes a moment before beginning to speak into the microphone.)
Rex McAllister: I-
(Before Rex can even say a word, ‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage is suddenly heard playing through the speakers as the crowd gives a mix of cheers and boos as a result.)
Rich Russillo: Well that didn’t take long, Drake King is making his way out and he does not at all seem pleased about what has transpired these past couple of weeks.
James Peters: Last week he made it known that Rex should not have been included in the EAW World Championship match with him and Charlie, and now it seems like he’s coming out tonight to do just about the same thing.
Persephone: AGAIN??? OH MY FUCKING GAWD IT’S EVERY WEEK WITH THIS GUY! CAN WE GET HIM OUT OF HERE?! SECURITY!!! SECURITY-
Drake King: CUT MY MUSIC!!!
(Drake is seen storming out with a microphone already in hand, and it’s clear that he does not want to waste any time getting to what he has to say. He angrily treads down the ramp and toward the ring with Rex in it as he begins to speak.)
Drake King: What we are NOT going to do is start this show off with blasphemy like whatever you were going to say, Rex. We were not going to kick off Voltage with you spreading your propaganda about how you deserve this opportunity and that you are going to be the next EAW World Champion, THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS! You do not deserve ANY of this and you are not going to be the next EAW World Champion as long as I have something to say about it. Once I get back the title that was STOLEN from me by Charlie Marr, I will STILL be your Champion.
(Drake climbs onto the apron and stares a hole into Rex, meanwhile Rex on the other hand already looks annoyed about all of this.)
Rex McAllister: Are we really doing this again?
Drake King: YES. What have I said that hasn’t been a fact yet?
Rex McAllister: Practically everything. I don’t know what makes you think I don’t deserve this match, presumably because you don’t want to have to add onto the already impending challenge of Charlie Marr, but I know exactly what I am worth in this company. From the very beginning, since my return to full-time competition, my goal has been to get back to the top of this brand, and Road To Redemption was the closest I’ve gotten to that goal. That’s when I knew that I was ready, that’s when I knew that given the right opportunity, with no outside forces stopping me, I would be able to capture the EAW World Championship. All I needed was one more shot and that is what Captain Charisma was able to give me. If you have so much of a problem with it then you might as well save your match for another time and face him on your own terms, I don’t know what kind of compromise I can end up giving you, Drake. But I know that none of it is going to satisfy you.
Drake King: It won’t, because the only way that I can possibly be satisfied is if you’re completely out of the match. But no, you want to make this difficult, you want to add to my problems and make my journey to recapturing my title even more difficult. You frustrate me, Rex. I am past the point of waiting, this shouldn’t even be happening in the first place but my hand was forced. I just want to make it known how much of a mistake you’re making getting yourself involved in this just because you think that you’re close to getting a World Championship, you’re just giving yourself false hope for something that is never going to happen.
Rex McAllister: Why are we even arguing about this, Drake? You’re way over your head right now and you know that we have bigger problems to handle than this. The match at King of Elite isn’t a regular singles match, where’s Charlie Marr at?
(The crowd murmurs as Drake himself even has to stop and think about that question for a moment before he quickly shakes his head.)
Drake King: The answer is that he is a coward, Rex! He knew that if he came out here I would have him in dire straits, simply because from the very beginning I have been right about everything that I have said to him. He is not the EAW World Champion and his not being out here is a way to try and save face. But I’m not going to be fooled, because in fact, not being out here tonight is just PROOF that he is scared to look me in the eyes and tell me what he says he-
???: Or maybe I just don’t want to be there.
(The crowd begins to boo loudly as they hear the familiar voice blast through the speakers. But instead of the EAW World Champion showing up on the stage… Charlie Marr is seen on the titantron in a different place than the Estadio Mary Terán de Weiss, and more like a luxurious penthouse suite. A balcony overlooking a large city is seen as the Champion is then seen making his way into the scene. He takes a seat on a comfortable chair, a glass of wine in his hands as he stirs it before taking a sip, and gently placing his title down on his lap. He looks up at the camera that is facing him and he gives a toothy smile before beginning to speak.)
Charlie Marr: What’s wrong, did you really expect me to waste my time and come out there tonight, playing the same song and dance that has been the case these past couple of weeks? You two must take me to be some sort of fool! No, that’s not in the books, but even then you still might be asking why, and the answer is pretty simple. As your EAW World Champion, I have decided to take the night off.
(The crowd boos Charlie loudly as the only thing he can do is really laugh to himself and shake his head in disappointment.)
Charlie Marr: Boo all you want but when you work as hard as I do to put this brand on the map as the top Champion, you deserve a break every so often. But even then in my absence my presence is still felt by these two idiots who continue to argue over who’s going to be the Champion at King of Elite. Let me make one thing clear if it hasn’t been crammed into your thick fucking skulls yet, it will not be either of you. None of you were worth my time in the first place that’s why I’m not there tonight. I am the Champion for a reason and you are the ones chasing after me for a reason, and at the Marquee Event I will obviously retain my title there, I refuse to believe beyond that there’s anything else left to discuss on the matter. So once again, I do not see the problem with me not being there.
(The camera goes to Rex and Drake and the expression on both of their faces makes it painfully apparent that they are not at all happy about this. Drake, in particular, is quick to speak up toward Charlie on the titantron.)
Drake King: No, NO! You don’t just get to make your own rules. When I was Champion (I still am), I showed up every single week even when I didn’t want to. Even when I had to bother myself with the likes of Cy Henderson and Cameron Ella Ava, I still showed up because I am an example of a proper Champion. If I didn’t show up that week then all of a sudden I breed cowardice, and I don’t deserve everything that I had worked for. But you want to try that and all of a sudden NOBODY sees a problem with it??? Have you no shame???
(Charlie laughs to himself as Rex is quick to speak up after Drake is done.)
Rex McAllister: No, no, I agree. I don’t think it’s really fair to us or anyone else that you’re not here tonight. But I think that makes it more apparent as I mentioned before what the bigger problem is, Drake.
(Rex turns to Drake who is obviously frustrated by all of this.)
Drake King: Are you trying to coerce me right now? Because if that’s the case then I’m not buying any of what you’re selling, Rex. You’re a heathen, I have no reason to trust you.
Rex McAllister: I have no reason to trust you either, but I also know that there is a time and a place for this type of thing. I know that if you had the opportunity you would attack me right now, but what I’m asking for is just tonight, we call a truce. We put it all in the backseat especially since we’ll be teaming with each other later in the night anyway.
(Drake looks to respond but has to stop himself once again, as he thinks about what this could mean for tonight. He obviously is not in the mood to go through any more of this, especially after learning that Charlie simply chose not to be here tonight. After some time he finally gives in and nods his head.)
Drake King: Fine. Just for tonight.
(Rex smiles at this as the two of them find some middle ground. Though the camera is quick to cut back to Charlie who has a hand on his heart, sarcastically swooning over all of this and does not waste any time mocking them either.)
Charlie Marr: Aww, that’s sweet. Bonded over your common hatred for Charlie Marr, where have I seen this before? Look, you can do whatever you want, I’m not stopping you, regardless, you won’t be taking the EAW World Championship from me. I’ll see you two very soon, or not, maybe, I’ll think about it.
(Charlie smirks before the camera completely shuts off and the titantron goes back to normal. Both Drake and Rex do not look happy about this as they stand in the ring. They’re left to stare down one another in a tense situation, even despite their partnership with one another for the night. It’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage from there begins to completely fade out and into a commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for King of Elite, where Charlie Marr defends the EAW World Championship against Drake King and Rex McAllister.
( Voltage comes back from a commercial break, and ‘Voices’ by Motionless In White plays as Lucius Crowe makes his way out to the crowd. He arrives by the stage, glancing up at the ring and proceeding straight forward. The camera follows him, and Bella Braxton announces the competition. )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHDULED FOR ONE FALL!… INTRODUCING FIRST!… ALREADY IN THE RING!… DRACO!
( Lucius reaches the apron of the ring, glances around, and poses for the crowd, receiving a negative reaction. He then heads inside, coming face to face with his opponent right away. )
Bella Braxton: HIS OPPONENT!… FROM SANTA MARIA, TEXAS!… WEIGHING IN AT 235 POUNDS!… THE BLACK SAINT!… LUCIUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!… CROWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( Lucius takes a step back, begins to take off his entrance gear, and then heads back down into his corner to get prepared while DRACO keeps his focus turned toward the competition. )
( DING DING DING! )
James Peters: Welcome back to the show once again ladies and gentlemen! We have a rising star right here in the ring tonight, facing off against another rising star that we’ve got here on Voltage. But it’s no time to be flexing fame right now! Lucius makes his way out of the corner and immediately lands a right hand across DRACO’s jaw, taking him down to the ground before he could even make it out of the corner!
Persephone: Alright whatever this is, I hope it’s going to end sooner.
Rich Russillo: Another right hand shoves right into DRACO’s face, relentlessly, and now DRACO is able to push Lucius right back a little. Crowe pulls to a stop and rolls back to his feet, charging towards Draco… A LARIAT AT THE CORNER DROPS DRACO TO THE GROUND!
James Peters: DRACO stumbles out of there, already on the verge of losing his match. Lucius is on a roll at the moment, while DRACO has been rolling down on the outside of the ring, taking a break to catch his breath. Lucius identifies a new target and starts making his way down by the ropes, preparing to fly!…
Rich Russillo: TOPE SUICIDA TAKES OUT DRACO!
Persephone: What? This guy keeps beating the hell out of him. If that’s the case, just skip the match already because I can already tell what’s going to happen soon.
James Peters: It’s Lucius’ ceasefire that’s turning the tide against DRACO right there, leaving him in a tough spot. Lucius picks up DRACO, rolls back into the ring, and rolls DRACO over as he’s going for a pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: DRACO is still able to kick out!
James Peters: Lucius still has his focus set straight in this match, rolling back upon his feet and heading towards the corner to continue more strikes on DRACO. DRACO is making a comeback down there, trying his best to get up.
Rich Russillo: DRACO hasn’t been doing well lately, but he wants to make sure this could be his moment to shine. Lucius is now up on his feet, running towards DRACO, and DRACO could be in danger!
James Peters: OH WHAT A FOREARM FROM DRACO CAUGHT LUCIUS!… DRACO LOOKS FOR A SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: An elbow lands by the neck as Lucius breaks free and drops down to his feet. A quick back elbow from Lucius stuns Draco, but DRACO fires back with his own, causing Lucius to spin around before landing another one straight to his nose!
James Peters: Lucius has to make sure before raining some more on DRACO, who slowly drops to his knees. Those elbow shots are certainly applying increasing pressure! Lucius now on his feet, moving down to the ropes and making a comeback towards DRACO-
Rich Russillo: A SITOUT SPINEBUSTER DROPS LUCIUS! RIGHT INTO A COVER!
Persephone: Three.
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: Lucius Crowe narrowly escapes the pin! Lucius hits the mat, the Spinebuster hitting hard for sure! DRACO gets back on his feet once more, gearing up for a second wind against Lucius…..
Rich Russillo: Now, he can be seen picking up Lucius from the ground, who’s still not fully recovered from the Spinebuster. DRACO has it all locked in, and he’s looking to launch Lucius across the ring with a German Suplex!
James Peters: Lucius awakens just in time to stop the chaos, landing some elbow shots that cause damage and stun DRACO’s face! DRACO couldn’t bear many of the strikes this time, slowly freeing Lucius. Lucius takes a step behind DRACO as he makes a move, executing a schoolboy that rolls him to both knees… A YAKUZA KICK SHUTS DRACO DOWN!
Rich Russillo: Seeing how hard that shot is, it puts DRACO down right away, and the crowd is surely aware of what has just unfolded before their eyes. Lucius displays great strength, but now it’s not the time to let this drag on any longer.
James Peters: DRACO is picking himself back up, and now Lucius has him right under his control down there. DRACO has both arms hooked, and it seems like Lucius is trying to go for an interesting move.…. OH! THE HEADLOCK DRIVER!
Persephone: Alright, that’s gotta be it. This match is totally pointless and shouldn’t drag on this much.
Rich Russillo: THAT’S WHAT HE CALLS ORCUS’S CALL! I GUESS THAT MIGHT BE ONE OF HIS SPECIAL MOVES, PUTTING HIS OPPONENT IN A VULNERABLE POSITION!
Persephone: I DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT THAT IS!
James Peters: DRACO is seen entirely slumping in the match once the headlock is applied, and now Lucius rolls into a cover on DRACO! The headlock driver could be the way to win as the referee drops down for a count! This could be it, leading to the conclusion!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREE-
James Peters: DRACO could still be seen able to kick out just there! DRACO’s fighting spirit is surely one hell of a thing to stand on his own in the business here tonight! Lucius can be seen getting back to his feet, and he’s not going to waste much more time with DRACO, having him locked in, and he could be looking for the Tiger Driver to set things right off just there!
Rich Russillo: DRACO STILL HAS ONE MORE IN HIM!
Persephone: TERRIBLE!
James Peters: Lucius has to let it all go as DRACO is able to break free, landing a few shots of forearm smashes before nailing a hard one, putting Lucius right back to one knee. DRACO is back on his feet again, and he’s the one picking up Lucius this time, attempting to land the Uranage Slam!
Rich Russillo: LUCIUS MANAGES TO LAND ON THE SIDE SAFELY, ESCAPING THE SLAM AND NOW HAS DRACO HOOKED RIGHT ON HIS SHOULDERS STRAIGHT AWAY! … CUT-THROAT DRIVER!!!!!!!
James Peters: MIRACLE HAS BEEN KILLED! MIRACLE KILLER CONNECTS THERE! DRACO DROPS TO THE FLOOR HARD AFTER THE LANDING, AND LUCIUS TAKES HIS CHANCE TO COVER, LOOKING FOR THE VICTORY!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
( DING DING DING! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… LUCIUS CROWE!
Persephone: Brabrabra, FUCK OFF AND MOVE ON ALREADY!
James Peters: Another win that Lucius Crowe has picked up yet again on his record here tonight! Since making his debut, Lucius has been on a roll, and he might not be easily stopped by anyone soon if he continues with the aggressive passion that has overcome every obstacle in his way so far!
( ‘Voices’ by Motionless In White hits as Lucius Crowe reaches his feet, standing tall as the winner of this competition, with the referee raising his hand. Lucius looks down at DRACO in a state of fatal defeat. Without even glancing back at DRACO, Lucius takes his leave, leaving DRACO in check with the referee as the scene fades away from ringside. )
(Voltage fades into a screen bar.)
[SCREENBAR – 2 DAYS AGO]
( A mysterious black SUV pulls up to the arena where Friday Night Dynasty is taking place. It’s late evening here in Argentina as cameras get closer and closer towards the vehicle that just showed up here on Dynasty. The person gets out of the car and it’s none other than Harper Lee. Harper’s facial expression looks very disgruntled, and a little annoyed that she now has to find a partner, someone that is actually willing to team with her to battle against Cameron Ella Ava and Jamie O’Hara. Harper is seen wearing casual attire here as she leaves through the door of her car and slams it. She looks at the arena, that has the Dynasty banner and graphics displayed everywhere as Harper tells herself… )
Harper Lee: I guess I have to start looking somewhere for a partner…
( Harper shrugs her shoulders as she approaches the back entrance door of where the arena leads to the locker room area. She walks over there and as she opens the door she bumps into Assistant GM of Dynasty, Diamond Dixon. They collide with each other as Diamond questions Harper asking her… )
Diamond Dixon: Uhhhh watch where you’re going!!!
Harper Lee: Maybe you shouldn’t be standing right at the door?
Diamond Dixon: I was just going to get something from my ca- wait a minute…. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE???
Harper Lee: Looking for someone to tag with me, I’m going to ask around the Dynasty locker room to see who wants to help face two losers over on Voltage. I might as well start looking for that partner here on Dynasty so if you don’t mind moving out the way and…
Diamond Dixon: What do you mean move out of the way? You don’t even work here! Chile, take your trifling ass somewhere else. Nobody on Dynasty is gunna team with you. Now go. GET!
( Harper looks stunned. )
Harper Lee: So I’m not even allowed to be on Dynasty???
( Diamond Dixon doesn’t give Harper a proper answer as she slams the door right on Harper’s face! Harper looks extremely angry over what just happened between her and the Dynasty Assistant GM, that she couldn’t even get to the part of asking people if they wanted to team with her. Harper looks offended as she walks away from the arena as this scene would fade out. )
(Voltage goes to commercial break.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial polling the Voltage fans on whether or not they would like to see a 74 Man Tag Team Match happen on the show in the near future.)
(The camera fades backstage to Sofia Clarke who is smiling at the camera and holding a microphone in front of a flashing Voltage animation on a screen behind her.)
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome at this time my guest… he is “All Heart and Soul” AJ Redding!!!
(AJ Redding enters the frame and shakes hands with Sofia Clarke before turning towards the camera.)
AJ Redding: Thank you for having me back again Sofia. You see last week my time was interrupted by Jamie Cross and it is clear that she intends to challenge me here on my rise and my ascension here on Voltage. Which is fine. I would expect nothing less from her. I see that she has a match here tonight and I look forward to watching that. If she is as serious as she claimed to be last week then tonight should definitely be something to look forward to.
Sofia Clarke: She definitely has a tough challenge here tonight. But what do you think of her opponent in this match… Valerie Hellstorm?
AJ Redding: I look forward to seeing Valerie in action too. Despite the fact that Valerie hasn’t had many nice things to say about me. You know I am aware of her reputation and the reputation that La Familia has had around here. I know that it is best to stay out of their way because they seem to think they are the locker room bullies lately and I really don’t need to deal with that when I am just getting my start here on Voltage. That being said I don’t back down from anybody and if Valerie wants trouble and she brings that trouble to me I will have no problem wrestling her as well.
Sofia Clarke: That is smart. Taking things one step at a time, one opponent at a time. As they come.
AJ Redding: There are definitely a lot of opponents on Voltage and I will look forward to facing all of them eventual-
(AJ Redding is quickly interrupted as Lucius Crowe enters and he does not look happy.)
Lucius Crowe: Oh you think that you can just move on to fighting other opponents? I don’t think so AJ. We haven’t even begun to finish what we started between us. You see AJ… I want a rematch! I’m not so sure that you’re the better man between us. If anything, tonight proves otherwise. I went out there and I made short work of Draco. I proved that he is what is wrong with this generation of wrestlers, and after proving that I realized that with how good I am there is no way that you could actually defeat me again. So I want a rematch and I will show you that everything I said about you the first time was true and I will reclaim my victory. Leave you dead for the buzzards and collect that bounty.
(AJ Redding does not look impressed but confronts Lucius before leaving.)
AJ Redding: Well it seems like everyone wants a piece of me. I could respond to everything that you had to say right now but honestly it is not worth my time. But what is worth my time is what you said about having a rematch. It seems that Jamie Cross wants a piece of me. It seems like you want a piece of me. The same goes for everyone else who wants to wrestle with AJ Redding. You want a rematch? Why not? I’m game. You can have a rematch at any time.
(AJ Redding walks off as Lucius Crowe is shown looking pleased that he got exactly what he wanted before the camera fades to a commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for King of Elite, where Bea Valentine defends the Specialists Championship against Princess Candice.)
(The camera fades back to the ringside area where AJ Redding is shown joining commentary during the commercial. He shakes hands with Rich Russillo before sitting down at the table.)
Rich Russillo: Hello AJ I am glad to see you joining us this week.
AJ Redding: I am here to scout the competition. Both Jamie and Valerie. As well as Lucius after what I saw backstage but of course he isn’t in this match. But I will definitely be keeping an eye on him as well. This should be a great match.
Persephone: Agreed assuming it is three minutes or less.
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(“She’s All I Wanna Be” by Tate McRae hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from Chicago, Illinois she is “The Main Character” JAMIEEEEEEEE CRRRRRRRRRRROSSSSSS!!!!!
(Jamie Cross comes shooting out of the curtain and makes her way down to the ring looking hyped up and ready for action. She has a bit more of a serious look on her face, fitting for her change in attitude following her return to EAW. Without wasting too much time, she begins making her way down the ramp and heading towards the ring.)
Rich Russillo: We have been excited to see the comeback story of Jamie Cross unfold. Last week we got a taste of what she can do and this week we will see what she can do against the likes of Valerie Hellstorm.
James Peters: Who is your favorite to win this match AJ?
AJ Redding: It is hard to say. I know that if I had to pick I would probably root for Valerie to take the loss because I can’t say I approve of her recent actions or the things she has said about me. But I acknowledge that is just personal preference and obviously this match could easily go in her favor but we will see soon!
(“Good 4 u” by Olivia Rodrigo hits to loud boos from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent from Las Vegas, Nevada she is “The Girl Boss” VALERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIE HELLLLLLLLLLLLSTORRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
(Valerie Hellstorm makes her way down to the ring by herself. The rest of La Familia are absent as Valerie is determined to prove herself solo in this contest. She has a confident look on her face, staring directly towards Jamie Cross as she makes her way down the ramp to meet her opponent in the ring.)
AJ Redding: So do you think that Valerie chose to come out here alone or do you think La Familia has finally been banned from ringside during these matches? I mean someone has to do something…
Persephone: Well if their presence would end the match faster I don’t see why they would be banned.
Rich Russillo: Things have definitely been chaotic lately with La Familia running amok. But Valerie Hellstorm is more than capable on her own and is definitely going to be a real challenge for Jamie to overcome here tonight if at all.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: We are underway here joined by AJ Redding at ringside for this exciting contest. The bell has been rung and Jamie Cross and Valerie Hellstorm are stepping up face to face to each other in the ring. The crowd is definitely on Jamie’s side here tonight as they talk smack to each other trying to get into the opponent’s head at the start of this match. Eventually they lock up in the ring with Jamie quickly whipping Valerie down to the mat with an arm drag. Jamie staying on Valerie here holding the arm down and trying to fight her into position slamming the arm against the mat. But Valerie fights back up and shoves Jamie up against the ropes. The referee counts her off and she is forced to release the hold. Valerie releases as Jamie comes off the ropes right back at her but Valerie immediately locks Jamie into a Side Headlock. Jamie tries to throw herself backwards into the ropes but Valerie bounces off and keeps the hold applied.
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm takes Jamie Cross down to one knee. But Jamie forcing herself back up to her feet! Jamie slams her forearm into the side of Valerie’s head and eventually shoves her off whipping her across the ring. Valerie runs the ropes and comes back slamming hard into Jamie taking her down with a running Shoulder Thrust. Such force! That looks like it really knocked the wind out of Jamie who is shown recovering on the ground slowly getting back up as Valerie waits for her. Jamie back up to her feet now as she meets Valerie in the ring and Valerie definitely seems confident now that she has the advantage here. Jamie laughs at her for thinking that way before immediately locking back up. Jamie takes Valerie into a Side Headlock this time wrestling her opponent down to the mat and showing Valerie why she is not one to be underestimated.
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm fighting back up to her feet and shoves Jamie Cross off her. Jamie up to the ropes before running off them and connecting with a Running Kick to the gut of Valerie! Valerie goes flying back from the kick before rolling out of the ring to catch her breath. Valerie not pleased that she got taken down there and slaps the ring apron in frustration. She needs to recover… but wait look out! Here comes Jamie! Jamie comes flying in towards Valerie with a Running Baseball Slide under the bottom ropes!-
James Peters: But Valerie Hellstorm moves out of the way just in time! Valerie sidestepping that maneuver from Jamie Cross and grabs the legs of Jamie! Valerie yanks Jamie around and grabs her by the legs and begins hammering down hard elbows across the knee. Jamie tries to turn around but Valerie grabs her by the neck and yanks Jamie towards her… Valerie lifts Jamie up yanking her off the apron and throwing her down with a Suplex to the floor outside the ring! Jamie taken out of it here and is now lying down in a bad way on the outside her comeback in this match proved short lived. Valerie now rolls back in and out of the ring to break the count before returning to attack her opponent on the outside right in front of our announce desk.
AJ Redding: Well I am getting a good look here as Jamie Cross definitely just took a very big blow to her with that Suplex to the outside. I have to wonder if it will spell the end for her tonight or not. But she did seem to be very determined the last time I spoke with her and I can’t imagine her giving up that quickly or easily.
Persephone: That is unfortunate. The quicker the better in my opinion.
Rich Russillo: Out here in front of our announce table, Valerie Hellstorm just raked the eyes of Jamie Cross! Valerie slams Jamie head first into the hard ring apron before rolling her back under and into the ring. Valerie slides in and is looking to go for the cover here!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: Quick kickout there from Jamie Cross who has been determined to revitalize her career on Voltage in 2024 and has started something of a rivalry with the man sitting next to us on commentary. She won last week but can she keep the streak alive against the likes of Valerie Hellstorm? Valerie sure seems intent on making sure that doesn’t happen as she yanks Jamie back up and begins delivering precise strikes to the arm and shoulder of Jamie. Jamie is locked into a side armbar with one arm from Valerie and begins pounding at the side of the head with the elbow on the other. Eventually Jamie goes down from the elbow strikes and Valerie goes for another cover.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: Another kickout from Jamie Cross as Valerie Hellstorm pulls her back up and batters her back into the corner with repeated forearms. Valerie whips Jamie across the ring into the opposite corner. Valerie comes charging in-
James Peters: But Jamie Cross gets the boot up and collides right into the face of Valerie Hellstorm! Valerie staggers back from the counter as Jamie holds herself up by the arms in the corner. Jamie bursts out of the corner with a running Dropkick! No! Valerie dodges it and Jamie goes legs first through the middle rope landing on the apron! Valerie grabs Jamie as she goes between the ropes and yanks her down hard by the head! Jamie tilts backwards over the middle rope and slams on the back of her head into the ring mat! Valerie yanks Jamie out of the ropes and pulls her up and drops her with a Twisting Neckbreaker! Another cover!!!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOOOO-
AJ Redding: Jamie Cross with another kickout! Valerie Hellstorm not making much progress on these covers despite all of this offense.
Persephone: The referee needs to count faster. That is all.
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm grabs Jamie Cross by the hair and is dragging her across the ring in a display of dominance. She kicks at the head of Jamie repeatedly knocking her sideways but Jamie is staying up on her knees refusing to go down. Jamie eats repeated kicks to the chest from Valerie but manages to grab the leg and pulls herself up to her feet! Jamie fighting back with hard right hands! No! A hard forearm from Valerie and Jamie staggers back. The two now trading blows in the ring and it looks like Valerie came out on top. Valerie whips Jamie across the ring! Clothesline! But Jamie ducks under it! Valerie has it scouted however and whips around grabbing Jamie… PRETTY PRIVILEGE BY VALERIE CONNECTS!! JAMIE GOES DOWN THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEE-
James Peters: Kickout by Jamie Cross! Valerie Hellstorm almost able to get two there but still cannot put Jamie away! Valerie rolling Jamie onto her back and begins to stomp at the spine of Jamie trying to prevent her from kicking out. Jamie thrashes trying to throw Valerie off her but Valerie rolls on top and begins to choke Jamie out with both hands! That is an illegal hold however and the referee is now warning Valerie that she needs to stop.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm releases the hold preferring not to get disqualified here tonight. Now Jamie Cross holding her spine and breathing heavily after being choked out. She rolls out of the ring to catch a breather and to escape from Valerie for a moment as Valerie is shown yelling at the referee. Jamie on the outside leaning up against the ring post to catch a breather and that might be the smartest thing she has done in this match as Valerie takes notice and begins to roll out of the ring to go after her. But as soon as Valerie steps out onto the apron, Jamie runs around the ringside area and grabs the leg of Valerie! Jamie tries to rip Valerie off the apron by tripping her up! Valerie tries to stay up but Jamie yanks the leg! Valerie tries to regain her balance but ends up falling on top of Jamie! But Jamie has her held up in powerbomb position! Such strength! Her spine not giving out as she is able to carry up Valerie on top of her shoulders!
James Peters: This could be bad news for Valerie Hellstorm here as Jamie Cross has her in position and stretches the arms out wide…
AJ Redding: CRUCIFIX BOMB ON THE OUTSIDE! WHAT A MANEUVER! I was hoping to see something like that from Jamie in this match! Wow!
Persephone: Hopefully that is the end of it. Get back in the ring Jamie and let the referee end this via count out!
Rich Russillo: Jamie Cross jumps up on the apron… but she’s not going back into the ring! Jamie runs across the apron and leaps off landing on top of Valerie Hellstorm with a Running Senton off the apron! She gets all of it smashing Valerie to the floor! Jamie then grabs Valerie and rolls her back into the ring! Jamie crawling towards the cover and this could be it!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: No! I cannot believe it! Valerie Hellstorm kicked out! I guess I can kind of believe it. Valerie hasn’t taken too much damage in the match so far but that was a very brutal maneuver there executed to perfecting by Jamie Cross turning this match around! Now can she carry it to a victory that is the question! Jamie looks like she was banking on that being it but slowly she gets back up and somehow Valerie is moving as well slowly getting back to her feet. Hard forearm to the face of Valerie from Jamie but Valerie retaliates with one of her own fighting back up to her feet! These two woman now colliding in the center of the ring and are straight up brawling it out and bashing and battering each other and the crowd is on fire for this fierce action! Valerie suddenly lunges and charges at Jamie who grabs the arm and tosses her back! Valerie rolls back up to her feet and Jamie grabs her and takes her down…SILVER KNEE CONNECTS TO VALERIE!!
Rich Russillo: But Jamie Cross not going to the cover! She pulls Valerie Hellstorm back up and whips her across the ring… but she hangs onto the arm and yanks her back in… Ripcord Clothesline sends Valerie flipping over from the sheer force of that strike! Jamie is rolling now as she pulls Valerie back up to her feet-
James Peters: But Valerie Hellstorm slips behind Jamie Cross! No! Jamie Cross with repeated elbow strikes to the side of Valerie’s head avoiding whatever counter maneuver Valerie had planned! Perfectly executed dropkick from Jamie sends Valerie throwing herself back first into the corner. Jamie comes charging in… Running Splash into the corner from Jamie! Valerie barely standing on her feet before eventually crumpling down into the corner and now it looks like it is Jamie’s turn to do some stomping! Repeated stomps and strikes to a fallen Valerie in the corner who is taking a severe beating from Jamie here and now! Jamie is definitely loving ever minute of this-
AJ Redding: Wait look out! Valerie Hellstorm caught the boot of Jamie Cross as she was stomping! That might have been out of desperation but now Valerie is standing up and tilting Jamie backwards using her leg to flip her over! But Jamie throws her other leg forward trying to hit Valerie with a Jumping Enzuigiri! No! Valerie sidesteps it! Valerie grabs Jamie from behind… German Suplex!
Persephone: Ouch! She just got German Suplexed neck first into the corner! Jamie must be quite deceased! Maybe a broken neck? I don’t want to get my hopes up…
Rich Russillo: Jamie Cross is wrecked in the corner but Valerie Hellstorm grabs her and yanks her out of the corner. Valerie grabs Jamie… HOLLOW PURPLE!!! IT’S OVER!!!
James Peters: No! How the hell… Jamie Cross managed to duck beneath the Hollow Purple! She jumps up and grabs Valerie Hellstorm from behind before dropping her… Jumping Knee into an Olympic Slam! Jamie with the cover!!!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm kicks out yet again!
Persephone: WHAT.
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm is fighting hard here tonight fighting to show that La Familia is the dominant faction here on Voltage! That nobody can touch them! But Jamie Cross has definitely done more than touched her here tonight she has nearly beaten her! But not quite yet… Jamie hangs her head despondently as she realizes that she has not won the match just yet. She brushes her hair back as she stands back up and gets back to work.
AJ Redding: I definitely respect Jamie Cross for sticking out as long as she has tonight. I expected nothing less. Of course Valerie is a great performer as well and I am surprised she kicked out there. It looks like Jamie is pulling Valerie up now and intends to go for a Fisherman Suplex! But Valerie counters it and falls down to the mat out of nowhere grabbing the leg of Jamie! Small Package!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Jamie Cross kicks out! Valerie Hellstorm maybe out of desperation there just nearly stole this match with that maneuver. Jamie breaks free and immediately grabs the arm of Valerie and twists her around into a Crossface in the middle of the ring! Valerie is in a bad way here as she twists herself around trying to find a way to break the hold! She kicks out with her legs trying to make it to the ropes-
James Peters: She makes it there! Gets a boot on the bottom rope! The referee forces Jamie Cross to relinquish the Crossface! Both competitors now slowly back up. Jamie Cross charges in at Valerie Hellstorm with a Running Clothesline… but Valerie ducks under and flips Jamie around… Back Body Drop backwards as Valerie sends Jamie flying and she crashes back first into the mat. Valerie collapses down in pain from the effort that it took to perform that maneuver. Valerie crawling towards Jamie but Jamie is already getting back up. Valerie lifts Jamie up and turns her around… SPIKE PILEDRIVER!!!
Rich Russillo: No! Jamie Cross flips out of it! Jamie lands on her feet but Valerie Hellstorm shoves her off against the ropes. Jamie grabs the ropes as Valerie charges in but Jamie ducks under and lifts Valerie up dropping her throat first on the top rope!
James Peters: No! Valerie Hellstorm lands on the top rope and springboards off, taking Jamie Cross down with a Cutter! Valerie now setting Jamie up… Valerie lifts Jamie up!!! THE FINAL FLASH—
Rich Russillo: Wait… what the hell is this???-
(Valerie Hellstorm drops Jamie Cross off her shoulders and looks up at the Tron which has just switched on. The image of the Tron shows Brianna Hill lying on the ground holding the back of her head and moaning in pain.)
AJ Redding: What is going on backstage? Brianna Cross got attacked???
(The camera then pans upwards to show TLA standing over Brianna Hill. The crowd cheers loudly as TLA is shown twirling a bat around in his hand as he looks into the camera.)
Rich Russillo: It’s TLA! TLA has attacked Brianna Hill backstage! TLA is coming for payback against La Familia!!!
Valerie Hellstorm: (off-mic) You son of a bitch! Leave Brianna alone! La Familia will take care of you! You will pa-
James Peters: Look out! Jamie Cross just grabbed Valerie Hellstorm and twisted her around… THE ARC REACTOR CONNECTS!!! Jamie into the cover!!!
(TLA is shown smirking on camera before the Tron switches off and the referee slides in to make the count.)
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… JAMIEEEEEEEEEEE CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
(“She’s All I Wanna Be” by Tate McRae hits to cheers from the crowd as the referee raises up Jamie Cross’ arm in victory.)
Rich Russillo: Big win here from Jamie Cross here tonight! She has defeated Valerie Hellstorm and kept her winning streak alive!!!
Persephone: But she didn’t really win! TLA has gone completely insane and is attacking people backstage for no reason! I hope he doesn’t hurt Luis! Keep him away and arrest him if necessary!!!
AJ Redding: It looks like Jamie Cross managed to pull out a win. Regardless of how she did it I am impressed and definitely look forward to facing her in the future. I’m guessing Valerie won’t take this lying down though. If she wants some I am game for that as well. But I am going to continue to scout my opponents and you will definitely be seeing a lot of AJ Redding to come.
James Peters: Honestly it was only a matter of time before people started fighting back against La Familia and their attacks on the Voltage roster in recent weeks. If management isn’t going to do anything then the wrestlers are going to fight back against the abuse. Voltage is turning into an all out warzone and anything can happen and we still have more to come! Stay tuned!
(Voltage fades from ringside.)
( Once again, Voltage fades into a screen bar. )
[SCREENBAR – ONE DAY LATER]
( We now transition to the next day as we are now here for Saturday Night Showdown! Unlike yesterday, where Harper couldn’t even manage to get inside the arena to ask people for help, she’s actually in the building walking down the hallways of the Showdown backstage area. Harper is dressed like how she was yesterday as she roams the hallway looking for people to ask to be her tag team partner. She notices someone standing on the right as she approaches them. The camera reveals the person to be Ashlynn Quinn. Harper taps Ashlynn on the shoulder and asks her… )
Harper Lee: Hi Ashlynn… now look I know you have problems right now going on with Veena and her National Elite Championship, and I get it… partner problems, it’s my thing. Anyways I need a partner to face two losers in Jamie O’Hara and Cameron Ella Ava at King of Elite. Sure, you have a whole National Elite Championship match and all that, but this is more important than some match against Veena. I was wondering if you want in part to beat those losers, and really make yourself a bigger name here on Showdown. What do you say?
( Ashlynn thinks about it for a moment as she then replies to Harper’s question by saying… )
Ashlynn Quinn: Ummmmm… i think the answer to that question Harper is…. NAHHHH. I’m already dealing with my own problems right now. You and I are not in the same boat when it comes to partners Harper, trust me on that. Maybe go find an uggo who actually has the time to team with you, I have other things to deal with and a championship to win!
( Ashlynn leaves Harper high and dry as Harper is a little annoyed at how that attempt went. She shrugs it off though and continues strolling through the hallways as she passes up some Showdown Elitists that are walking by. Harper would try and say a word to them but would get ignored or be brushed off by someone, or even laugh at Harper asking them to team with them. She finally sees someone that is not occupied at the moment and it so happens to the Huntress, KASAI. Harper hesitantly gets KASAI’s attention as she begins speaking to her. )
Harper Lee: I don’t think we have been properly introduced… you see my name is Harper and…
KASAI: I know exactly who you are…
Harper Lee: Oh that’s perfect because actually I need a Tag Team partner to face against Jamie and Cam, a big type matchup that will do wonders for you and your career, elevate you up to the next level. Teaming up with me would just be an extra bonus so what do you say KASAI, you want to help me beat up some losers???
( Kasai stares at Harper as she awaits a response. There’s an awkward silence before KASAI suddenly laughs as she finds the idea of someone like Harper looking for a partner very comedic. She replies back to the question by saying… )
KASAI: You don’t think I know the history of you and your tag team partners??? You have betrayed all your partners ranging from Sierra Bradford all the way to Holly Arrow just recently. Why should I give my trust to you Harper, if I know for a fact you’re just gonna stab a dagger into my back if you end up losing the match against Jamie and Cam anyway?. So my answer to your question is a no.
( Kasai ends up leaving the scene as Harper looks beyond frustrated at this point. She takes a water bottle and throws it against a wall nearby as her quest to find a partner to face Jamie and Cam isn’t going so well. Harper continues to walk as she then approaches someone who is minding their own business. The person is revealed to be… ARIA. Harper grabs her attention as ARIA takes her airpods out as Harper was about to say something but changes her mind and tells Aria… )
Harper Lee: Can you…you know what? just forget it…
( Harper leaves feeling frustrated and annoyed about her visit here on Showdown as ARIA looks confused as she couldn’t say a word to Harper before she changed her mind and walked off. Aria continues to listen to her music as the scene would then fade out and into a commercial break. )
(Promotional ad for King of Elite, where Alex Myers faces Joso and PJ Hendrx in the King of Elite finals.)
( Sunday Night Voltage fades back into the arena as Bella Braxton is seen standing by with a smile and a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the next match!
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘Cellar Door’ by Spiritbox could be heard playing throughout the arena, and this time, Hayley Morrow walks out with determination already showing on her face. She looks down at the ring and then heads straight there, prepared to fight right away. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM MANHATTAN, NEW YORK!… WEIGHING IN AT 120 POUNDS!… BLACK ROSE IMMORTAL!!!!!!!!…. HAYLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…. MORROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( Hayley goes inside right away as ‘PA’ ROMPERLA’ by Bad Bunny & Don Omar replaces her theme song. Luis De La Rosa walks alone, showing his swag while arriving at the stage and looking up to Hayley, who takes her entrance gear off and gets prepared by the corner. Luis shows some tranquility while heading to the ring without paying much attention to what Hayley has been up to. )
Bella Braxton: HER OPPONENT!… REPRESENTING LA FAMILIA!… FROM HIDALGO, MEXICO!… WEIGHING IN AT 170 POUNDS!… LUISSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!… DE!… LA!… ROSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( DING DING DING! )
James Peters: The bell has rung and here we go! Luis De La Rosa and Hayley Morrow, two Elitists who are very familiar with one another, are back in action one-on-one tonight! Luis is seen making his way out there, and so is Hayley, and both competitors are clashing at the center of the ring! The elbow from Luis! A quick reply from Hayley! Both are going at it right from the beginning, as they have been waiting for this moment the whole week! This is crazy!
Rich Russillo: Luis is using less time and is proceeding with his plan to the next step. A kick goes right into the gut, and now he grabs Hayley’s wrist, sending her to the ropes. Hayley rebounds! Luis executes a leapfrog, and as Hayley backs up, Luis slides underneath. Hayley backs up again… CATCHES HER IN THE MIDDLE WITH A DROPKICK!
Persephone: Luis shouldn’t just speed up this match, but also ensure to hasten that ass-beating so this dumbass bitch will learn who the real ring general is right now!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Hayley is seen rolling down on the outside of the ring, and Luis is now making a move toward her. He follows Hayley down there, picks her up, and has her leaning against the ring post… A CHOP CONNECTS ACROSS THE CHEST OF HAYLEY!
Rich Russillo: Hayley took a hard hit there. She rolls back inside the ring to avoid any distance Luis is trying to close and make it much closer to her at any stage. Luis rolls back inside as well, approaching Hayley as she tries to get back to her feet. Luis has Hayley trapped in the corner, using his right shoulder to thrust her right into the corner! She’s trapped!
James Peters: Hayley can be seen in pain, clutching her gut right now. Luis sends her right back down to the ground with a snapmare, leaving Hayley seated. Luis climbs up to the second rope, preparing to take flight… A DIVING DROPKICK TO HER BACK WHILE SHE’S DOWN! HAYLEY FALLS, AND LUIS CRAWLS OVER, GOING FOR THE COVER!
Persephone: YESSSSSSSS! LET’S FUCKING GO!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: A kickout has just occurred as Hayley managed to survive the pinfall just in time before the count of three!
Rich Russillo: Luis can be seen, and now he applies a headlock on Hayley. Morrow is exerting pressure, aiming to take control of the match. He’s working on it straight away!
Persephone: You see, this is what a proper young man should be doing right now in EAW! Everybody out here throwing fists, flips, and stupid ass moves without the basics of wrestling. But when you look at someone as wonderful as Luis, it’s clear why he’s one of the most talented individuals of the century to ever exist in EAW, right next to the likes of any legends that have gone by.
James Peters: Thank you for the information, but I think that might be a bit too much. Luis is standing tall, while Hayley seems to be gaining some momentum down there, and Luis is trying to figure out his next move.
Rich Russillo: Luis still has a tight hold, but Hayley is slowly pushing him down by the ropes. Luis is launched off to the opposite side of the ring, but he quickly rebounds…
James Peters: LOOKING TO PUT HAYLEY DOWN WITH A RUNNING SHIN KICK!
Rich Russillo: HAYLEY NARROWLY AVOIDS A QUICK HIT FROM LUIS JUST IN TIME, AND SHE’S BACK ON HER FEET AS LUIS ALMOST STUMBLES TO THE GROUND AFTER THE MISSED STRIKE!
James Peters: Hayley rolls through, getting Luis back up… ATTEMPTS A GERMAN SUPLEX TO SEND LUIS FLYING ACROSS THE RING, BUT LUIS INTERCEPTS WITH A QUICK ELBOW RIGHT INTO THE EYES, POKING HER HARD! Luis turns back around, seizing the opportunity…. LIFTS HAYLEY FOR A STUN GUN ON THE ROPES, LEAVING HER IN A PARALYZED STATE!
Persephone: Fuck her up! Make her pay!
Rich Russillo: Wait, but Luis isn’t going to stop making a move anytime soon! He heads straight after Hayley, who has just been taken down!
James Peters: Luis is back on his feet, reaching for both legs! Luis now has Hayley positioned right underneath the bottom rope, and he leans back… A CATAPAULT TO THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Persephone: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Rich Russillo: HAYLEY CAN NOW BE SEEN COUGHING HARD, STRUGGLING TO BREATHE AFTER THE ROPE INFLICTED AS MUCH PAIN AS IT COULD. SHE ROLLS AROUND IN AGONY BACK INSIDE THE RING, WHILE LUIS IS STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A BETTER WAY TO BRING THIS MATCH TO A CONCLUSION!
James Peters: LUIS PICKS HAYLEY UP, AND THERE’S A SCHOOLBOY ON HAYLEY, AS LUIS LOOKS TO SECURE THE WIN!
Persephone: IT’S OVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: A CLOSE CALL JUST THERE AS HAYLEY IS ABLE TO KICK OUT JUST IN TIME BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE IS MADE! Luis knows deep down that this isn’t going to be the end of it all. He understands that Hayley is much better than this, and he may have something already prepared for the next move. In this competitive environment, Luis is ready to pick up the pace and secure the win any time soon.
Persephone: It doesn’t matter if she knew her best or not because that’s just a part of the method. Someone like Luis could never cheat on me at all because I am the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life, just like Luis is the sexiest man alive that I have ever seen since I was born. Seeing some men who could be just as gentle and hot at the same time as him is truly remarkable. Anytime he’s bouncing around in that ring, you can sense LOADS of charisma emanating from him.
Rich Russillo: We really appreciate you showing some love tonight for the match and much care, which is very unique for you. Anyway, let’s focus on the match, please, and not try to go off-task.
James Peters: Hayley is trying her best to make a quick recovery, while Luis now seems to adopt a disrespectful manner towards his opponent. He uses his right foot, playing around with Hayley’s head while she’s still crawling and trying to gain some momentum. It won’t be better for her much sooner if this keeps ongoing.
Persephone: Well, I think it’s much better because someone like her never deserved anything better, just like the rest of her family that always seems to be in tough luck, and now they all end up as the wrestling tragedy that we all love to mock. That’s the unique factor that distinguishes Luis from her, as La Familia has been on a winning streak with their influence steadily growing ever since Luis became a part of the group! He consistently injects excitement into Voltage to make it captivating for the first time in many, many moons!
Rich Russillo: Hayley now seems like she’s going to try more to start fighting back just down there, throwing some shots with her right hand and now some forearms to Luis’ chest but Luis doesn’t seem to have enough of it and is asking for some more!
Luis De La Rosa: (Off-Mic) ¡Eres tan débil! ¿Eso es todo lo que puedes hacer?
Persephone: YEAH! DILES LO QUE TENÍAS QUE DECIR! ERES EL HOMBRE! ERES EL MEJO-
( SLAP! )
Rich Russillo: OH! THERE GOES A SLAP TO SHUT HIM UP!
Persephone: HOW DARE THIS STUPID FUCKING BITCH?!?!??!
James Peters: AND THERE GOES ANOTHER STIFF SLAP, TAKING ALL THE TASTE OUT OF LUIS’ MOUTH! THE SLAP CONNECTS AGAIN, FOLLOWED BY A KNEE LIFT TO THE CHEST!
Rich Russillo: HAYLEY GRABS LUIS RIGHT BACK BEFORE MOUNTING THE CHOPS, AND NOW THERE GOES ANOTHER CHOP! ANOTHER CHOP! THEN A CHOP TO THE NECK! HAYLEY TAKES A STEP BACK AND DELIVERS THE SUPERKICK RIGHT AWAY!
James Peters: LUIS IS LEFT FLABBERGASTED, AND HAYLEY SEIZES HIM FROM THE REAR… A GERMAN SUPLEX FORCEFULLY PLANTS LUIS ON THE CANVAS!
Persephone: THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! RIDICULOUS! RIDICULOUS! RIDICULOUS! COME ON, LUIS! YOU CAN’T JUST LET THIS HAPPEN! STOP THIS MATCH BEFORE I STOP IT MYSELF! I’M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND ENDURE WHAT I AM WITNESSING RIGHT NOW! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING INFURIATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HAYLEY IS TAPPING INTO HER WILD ANIMAL INSTINCTS RIGHT NOW, AND SHE WON’T BE STOPPING SOON! AFTER LANDING THE GERMAN SUPLEX, HAYLEY ROLLS TO HER FEET AND PICKS LUIS RIGHT BACK UP FROM THE GROUND! SHE SEIZES HIM, THROWING HIM ONTO HER OWN SHOULDERS…
Persephone: FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK-
James Peters: POWERBOMB!!-
Rich Russillo: OH WHAT A COUNTER! A HURRICANRANA INTO A COVER! HOOKING THE LEGS!
Persephone: YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES! COUNT IT! JUST FUCKING COUNT IT! FASTER! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? DO YOU KNOW HOW TO REFEREERIUNGIEGRU(JGPOWM?!?!?@?
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEE-
Persephone: IT’S SO OVER! WE WIN!
James Peters: THAT’S TWO! HAYLEY MORROW IS ABLE TO KICK OUT JUST IN TIME, RIGHT BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE IS REACHING THE CONCLUSION OF THIS CONFRONTATION! HAYLEY MANAGES TO PULL THE STOP RIGHT THERE, HALTING THIS RUCKUS THAT’S GOING AROUND HER RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: OH, COME ON! THAT HAS TO BE THREE ALREADY! THIS REFEREE NEEDS TO BE FIRED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT’S JUST SO RIDICULOUSLY ABSURD WHAT JUST HAPPENED! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? DO I NEED TO TEACH THEM HOW TO DO THEIR JOB RIGHT??!?!?
Rich Russillo: GUYS! THIS ISN’T THE TIME TO ARGUE ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THAT WE ARE WATCHING IS THIS COMPETITION! HAYLEY IS BACK ON HER FEET AGAIN, AS IS LUIS DE LA ROSA, WHO HAS JUST ESCAPED SUCH A HORRIBLE SITUATION THAT HAS OCCURRED TO HIM!
James Peters: HAYLEY NAILS THE FIRST SHOT TOWARDS HIS GUT WITH A SUPLEX RIGHT AWAY! HAYLEY SEIZES HIM AND TRIES TO NAIL THE BRAINBUSTER, ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A SHORTCUT BUT LUIS IS NOT LETTING THAT HAPPEN TOO SOON! HE LANDS RIGHT JUST BEHIND TO STOP HAYLEY, AND NOW HE’S THE ONE SEIZING HER, TRYING TO HIT THE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: HAYLEY COUNTERS, NAILING THE ELBOW AND KICKING IT RIGHT INTO HIS FACE FROM THE FRONT, THEN FOLLOWING IT UP WITH THE ENZUIGIRI KICK! NOW, LUIS IS DOWN TO HIS KNEES!
Persephone: OH NO, YOU GUYS CAN’T DO MY KING LIKE THIS!!!!!!! OH MY GOD, THIS COMPANY IS GOING TO BE REAL BAD SOON IF THEY ARE JUST GOING TO LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN! THIS SHOW IS GOING TO BE SUPER TERRIBLE! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? LETTING THIS SLIDE IN THAT EASILY? I WILL NOT BE SILENT ABOUT THIS; I MUST ENSURE THAT THIS COMPANY WILL BE SUED! COME ON, LUIS, DO NOT LET THIS STOP YOU! YOU NEED TO BEAT HIM! YOU NEED TO STOP CAUSING THE PAIN TO YOUR FAMILY! TO US, TO YOUR WIFE, TO EVERYBODY THAT IS WATCHING YOU RIGHT NOW FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD!
James Peters: LUIS IS DEFINITELY AIMING FOR A COMEBACK AFTER THAT KICK, BUT HAYLEY IS ALREADY IN HER ELEMENT, ROLLING WITH THE MOMENTUM!
Rich Russillo: HAYLEY STEPS RIGHT BACK INTO THE FRAY, SEIZING LUIS AND DIVING BACK INTO THE FIGHT – THERE GOES HAYLEY MORROW!
James Peters: HOUSE OF FLIES!
Rich Russillo: LUIS DOESN’T SEEM TO LET THAT HAPPEN JUST YET, AND HE’S THROWING A COUPLE OF SHOTS TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD, ROCKING HIM REAL HARD AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS STILL GOING TO BE UNDER HIS CONTROL!
James Peters: LUIS THEN QUICKLY SEIZES THE MOMENTUM, QUIETING TO HIT THIS AS SOON AS HE BREAKS FREE AND GETTING HAYLEY RIGHT BACK UNDER HIS CONTROL!…
Rich Russillo: LAWN DART THROW DRIVES HAYLEY INTO THE CORNER!
Persephone: YES, BUT YOU IDIOT! IT’S CALLED CHOQUE DE ESQUINA! SAY IT RIGHT! CHO-QUE-DE-ES-QUI-NA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: LUIS, AS WELL, MIGHT WELL BE ON THE ROLL AFTER THE LOW DARK THREAT HE THROWS! HAYLEY IS ALREADY DOWN ON THE GROUND, AND LUIS HAS BOTH FEET FIRMLY PLANTED BACK TALL, STANDING ON THE SIDE OF HAYLEY!… BEAUTIFUL STANDING MOONSAULT! THERE GOES A COVER!
Persephone: FUCKING TALKING ABOUT ATHLETICISM, YOU TALK ABOUT THE EMBODIMENT OF IT! YOU TALK ABOUT HIM! HE’S IT! HE’S THE BEST! HE’S THE GUY THAT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING ALL NIGHT TO WATCH! HE’S THE MAN WHO SINGLE-HANDEDLY SOLD OUT AZTEC STADIUM!!!!!!! HIM! HIM! HIM! HIM!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: THAT’S A KICK OUT! THAT’S SEVENTEEN TIMES KICKED OUT AT TWO ONCE AGAIN! THE LAWN DART THROW AND MOST ULTIMATE CONCOCTION MAY BE WORKING WELL RIGHT NOW BUT IT’S NOT WELL ENOUGH TO PUT DOWN HAYLEY MORROW FOR GOOD!
Rich Russillo: LUIS HAS GONE ON TRYING SO HARD TO BEAT DOWN HAYLEY, TO PULL RIGHT INTO THE BAG THE VICTORY, BUT NOTHING COMING CLOSE FOR HIM IN PICKING UP THE WIN AT THE MOMENT!
Persephone: THIS IS BULLSHIT! HOW’S MY GOAT STILL ON THE FIGHT RIGHT NOW? IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER A LONG TIME AGO WITH LUIS WINNING! WELL, I GUESS THERE’S STILL ONE TOUGH LEFT THAT HE HAS TO GO THROUGH; PUTTING THE BEST FINISHER IN THIS BRAND AND GOING FOR THE FINISH LINE! LUIS HEADS UP THERE, AND HE WILL GO FOR IT! GUYS, FOCUS, HE’S GOING UP THERE, CAN YOU SEE IT?!?!?!? GUYS! GUYS!
Rich Russillo: YES, WE ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW, AND LUIS COULD BE SEIZING THE BIG WIN JUST STANDING THERE OVER HAYLEY MORROW! HAYLEY IS TRYING TO MAKE A COMEBACK, BUT LUIS MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE TOWARD THE PAIN!
James Peters: HAYLEY HAS HER FACE DOWN, BUT LUIS IS ALREADY UP THERE! LUIS IS GOING TO TAKE FLIGHT AND TAKES HAYLEY RIGHT AWAY! HE’S FLYING, AND HERE HE COMES, LOOKING FOR-
Rich Russillo: CAUGHT BY THE BICYCLE KNEE!
Persephone: NO NO N O )_FOEJHIU(JG{IHE$BGI{($*HG
Rich Russillo: DEVIL’S TRIGGER BLINDS LUIS DE LA ROSA IN THE MID-AIR!
James Peters: THAT’S ONE HELL OF A WAY TO CATCH LUIS DE LA ROSA FROM SUCH A HIGH-RISK SPOT THAT HE HAS BEEN TAKING HIMSELF OFF, AND HAYLEY WAS TRYING TO GET THE PIN. BUT LUIS COULD BE SEEN ROLLING DOWN INTO THE RING AFTER A HARD KNEE THAT HE JUST LANDED HIMSELF ON, AND ENDED UP AT THE RINGSIDE, PUTTING HIM IN GREAT PAIN!
Rich Russillo: LUIS IS THEN ON THE OUTSIDE AND HE’S REALLY HURT RIGHT NOW! HE COULD BE AT RISK OF BEING KNOCKED OUT; THIS ISN’T LOOKING GOOD!
Persephone: THEN GET SOMEONE TO HELP! GET THE MEDICAL TEAM OUT HERE! WHERE ARE THE PROFESSIONALS WHEN IT’S NEEDED THE MOST? LOOK, HE COULD BE REALLY HURT! IF IT’S A REAL EMERGENCY, I’M GOING TO GO DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW AND HELP HIM!
Rich Russillo: BACK INSIDE, HAYLEY WAS TRYING TO REACH FOR A PIN ON LUIS, BUT LUIS IS ON THE OUTSIDE! HOW THIS MATCH COULD REALLY END HERE?
James Peters: Luis is staggering back up, trying to gain some sort of ground and you can see the look of displeasure on the face of Hayley as she acknowledges this! She turns around and breaks into a full sprint toward the ropes… LAUNCHING AT HIM WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Persephone: BUT LUIS WITH SOME EXPERT THINKING MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SENDS THAT BITCH INTO THE BARRICADE! Hayley is screaming in pain as she deserves and Luis has her back up, rolling her back into the ring and hoping to finish this match off because frankly, this HAS been going on for far too long!
Rich Russillo: LUIS SLIDES BACK IN BUT BEFORE HE CAN RECOVER, HAYLEY RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SHINING WIZARD TO THE FACE OF LUIS! LUIS IS DOWN ON THE GROUND AND HAYLEY HAS HIM RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET! IT’S TIME! BLACKWATER PARK-
James Peters: NO! LUIS SLIPS OUT WHILE IN THE SUPLEX POSITION AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK! HAYLEY TURNS AROUND, AND LUIS GOES FOR THE SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD NOW!
Persephone: BUT THIS HAG DUCKED UNDER!
Rich Russillo: SERENITY PAINTED DEATH!
James Peters: BUT LUIS DROPS OUT OF THE TORTURE RACK BEFORE TURNING HAYLEY AROUND AND PLANTING HER WITH A DROPKICK TO HER SPINE! HAYLEY ROLLS OVER AS LUIS JUMPS UP TO THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: DESTRIPADA!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! HAYLEY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND ROLLS LUIS UP INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Cellar Door’ begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as Hayley Morrow releases the pin on Luis De La Rosa and rolls back up to a kneeling position. She has a smirk on her face as she basks in the fruits of her labor thanks to the victory that she’s just gotten tonight. She gets back up to her feet as the referee raises her hand in the air, meanwhile, Luis is seen against the ropes, absolutely infuriated that just happened.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… HAYLEYYYYYYY MORROWWWWW-
James Peters: FROM BEHIND! LUIS JUST GOT UP AND STRUCK HAYLEY, TAKING HER COMPLETELY OUT!
Persephone: SLDNALKNDLANDLNDLKNDLKAS STANDING ON BUSINESS!
Rich Russillo: LUIS MOUNTS ON TOP OF HAYLEY AND BEGINS TO STRIKE HER WITH PUNCHES REPEATEDLY TO HER FACE! HE IS NOT HAPPY AT ALL THAT HE LET THAT HAPPEN AND IS GOING TO MAKE IT KNOWN EXACTLY WHO IS BETTER BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM TONIGHT!
James Peters: BUT HAYLEY IS BEGINNING TO GET THE UPPER HAND AS SHE SHOVES LUIS AWAY AND GETS BACK UP! SHE LUNGES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A FLYING FOREARM BEFORE BEGINNING TO NAIL HIM WITH PUNCHES TO THE HEAD! HAYLEY WASN’T JUST GOING TO TAKE THAT! SHE WAS GOING TO GET THE LAST LAUGH ONE WAY OR ANOTHER EVEN IF IT MEANT BEATING IT INTO HIM!
Rich Russillo: THIS HAS COMPLETELY BACKFIRED ON LUIS! HE’S GOING TO NEED SOME HELP IF HE WANTS TO GET OUT OF THIS-
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The camera goes over to the EAW Hardcore Champion Roberto De La Rosa and Valerie Hellstorm sprinting out to the stage. Brianna Hill is not present due to the attack that happened earlier in the night, but La Familia still has enough numbers to save Luis De La Rosa from this attack right now.)
James Peters: ROBERTO AND VALERIE SLIDE IN AND BLAST HAYLEY FROM BEHIND! HAYLEY IS TAKEN DOWN AS LA FAMILIA ARE BEGINNING TO STOMP DOWN ON HER AND TEAR HER APART LIKE A PACK OF HYENAS! HAYLEY IS BEING PICKED APART AND LUIS IS JOINING IN! THIS IS NOT WHAT SHE WANTED TO HAPPEN AT ALL!
Persephone: YES! SAVE THE REAL LEADER!
Rich Russillo: THEY’RE BRINGING UP HAYLEY…
(The crowd roars as all of a sudden, there’s some help for Hayley Morrow. On the stage, Ruler is seen sprinting out with a lead pipe in hand.)
James Peters: RULER! RULER IS HERE! WE KNOW THE CONVERSATIONS THAT HE AND HAYLEY HAVE HAD AND IT SEEMS THAT HE’S COMING OUT TO HELP AS WELL! HE SLIDES INTO THE RING WITH THE WEAPON IN HAND-
Rich Russillo: AND LA FAMILIA IS OUT OF THERE! ROBERTO, VALERIE, AND LUIS ARE IN RETREAT AS RULER IS SHOUTING AT THEM TO GET BACK INTO THE RING!
(Ruler drops the lead pipe down to the ground as La Familia admit defeat and makes their way up the ramp, pissed off and angry that their plans were halted like this. Ruler crouches down and checks on Hayley, who does not at all look happy that she let this happen to her, meanwhile, Ruler helps her back up to her feet. Ruler and Hayley look toward the stage as La Familia continues to shout at them as they make their retreat. It’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage begins to fade from there.)
(Promotional ad for King of Elite, where Minerva defends the Universal Women’s Championship against Usagi Senshi.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen hits to the immense reaction of the audience, as Dr. Bethany Blue makes her way out to the ramp with the chorus of incredible boos following her. Not a single glance is made to anyone in the crowd as her expression remains serious, she pays no mind to their reactions with her focus is very apparent, and makes her way down the ramp while looking ahead to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! From Miami, Florida! Weighing in at 125 pounds, DR. BETHANYYYYYYY BLUE!!!
James Peters: The Doctor will be in action tonight, as there has been quite the upheaval in all of the events occurring recently. The events of last week’s Showdown tell all, but Bethany made sure that the message was sent to Solomon Stane when she not only cost him his match in the King of Elite tournament, but also caused immense harm upon Trixie. Quite the mean streak that’s being on display, and we can only hope that Bethany relents much of that from her opponent tonight.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, the doc’ hasn’t been in the most stable state of mind. Her invasion upon Showdown has been one to remember, but she may have altered everything before her with a continuous target on her back, despite trying to do right by the Answers World Champion. Much of that can become very engrossing when focusing on the ring, and Bethany’s opponent here will need the will of God on her side if this is the same person standing from the opposite corner.
Bella Braxton: And her opponent, already in the ring! From Buenos Aires, Argentina! Lydiaaaaaa Gómez!!!!
Persephone: She’s fucked.
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: And we’re off, as Dr. Bethany Blue is in action tonight against the Argentinian native Lydia Gomez, who is hoping to shock the world against the Doctor while she has been given this opportunity. Lydia tries to emerge from her corner as—OH NO!!!! ‘TJD’ CAUSES LYDIA TO SLUMP ONTO THE MAT WITHOUT AVAIL!! BETHANY DIDN’T WASTE ANY TIME WHATSOEVER TO SEND HER OPPONENT DOWN WITH THE SUPERKICK RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW!! Gómez drops instantaneously as Bethany has a less than enthused expression plastered over her face! I don’t believe the Doctor has any intentions of allowing this to last the traditional competitive wrestling bout!
Persephone: You two are truly idiots if you didn’t think this was bound to happen.
Rich Russillo: Lydia still hasn’t made any motions! Bethany is keeping her eyes directed over her, and I truly don’t doubt that she’s gonna make an example out of this poor woman tonight just to continue sending her message! Now the doc’ is grabbing a hold of Lydia’s arm, and dragging her over to the middle of the ring without any care. Bethany would begin to lightly kick the back of Lydia’s head as a means of getting her conscious enough to move. This seems to do the trick, as now her opponent is slowly mustering up the strength to bring herself into a more mobile prone position, slowly on her hands & knees as Bethany is backing away. Perhaps she wants to give her breathing room! I can welcome this good sportsma—GOOD GOD!!! ‘CONCUSSION PROTOCOL’ CONNECTS IN HARROWING FASHION!!! THAT WAS BRUTAL!!! THE CURB STOMP LEAVES LYDIA MOTIONLESS!!!!
Persephone: ‘Breathing room’ my ass. Oh, she doesn’t look like she’s done. :francis:
James Peters: The crowd is left quite taken aback by the display as the Doctor has surely done all that she needs to secure this victory, but does not seem to be in any rush to pin her opponent. Now she is fixing Lydia’s positioning on the mat, and she’s making sure that this—wait, this is eerily similar to what she did to Trixie!!! THE ‘FRACTURED’ IS APPLIED!!!! LIXIE ISN’T OUT COLD AS SHE’S SCREAMING OUT IN PAIN AND IMMEDIATELY TAPS UNDER THE PRESSURE!!! THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL WITHOUT ANOTHER SECOND WASTED!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY SUBMISSIONNNNN…. DR. BETHANYYYYYY BLUE!!!
(‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ can be heard throughout the arena once more. Bethany wouldn’t let go immediately after the bell was called, with the referee telling her to let go as she would do so shortly after, not giving her opponent a single second of a glance as the referee would raise her hand in victory.)
Rich Russillo: Bethany was surely intent on revising the moments from last week, and she did not spare her opponent an ounce of levity with the ‘Fractured’ that caused the same agony upon Trixie. Now Bethany has an enhanced resolve within her, and she knows what she did to Solomon’s wife may very well be a small fraction of what she is capable of.
James Peters: Now Bethany seems to still have other ideas, as she remains in the ring and can be seen looking ahead to the timekeeper’s area as she has her arm extended outward for a microphone! Congratulations to the Doctor on the victory, but we are not done yet!
(Bethany remains in the ring, as her hand is extended out for a microphone. An official hands Bethany the microphone, and she would wait for her music to die down once more before speaking, as the crowd was reacting increasingly strongly to her presence after the quick victory.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: What I did tonight, it’s an ordinary cakewalk. Another day in the office, business as usual for me. How I make an example out of anyone AND everyone that is placed in the same ring as the Doctor, I can trek through the deepest of waters and make myself an undeniable danger among ANY environment that I am placed within! What I have been able to accomplish between these ropes, everything that has continued to take my career up into the upper echelon of EAW while I continue to work far more diligently than any other Elitist standing on their own two feet today! You can believe these to be quite the fighting words but trust me, I will make my word the fucking gospel of this company when I say that Dr. Bethany Blue WILL NOT BE FUCKED WITH!
(Bethany would pace around the ring with visible anger within her, glaring directly at the primary camera.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Solomon, why couldn’t you be smarter than you believe that you really are? How could you have such a thick skull by not understanding the danger that you have put yourself through, the danger that YOU should have expected when all of this bullshit started. You crucify Adam, and then the attack inflicted upon me, I did what NEEDED to be done. Your wife was put right in her place, the only effective way that would achieve exactly that! But all that I did to Trixie, the pain that she’s gonna remember for the rest of her damn life?? That’s barely scratching the surface of what I will do to you at King of Elite, Solomon. Let this be the warning that you so desperately need. If you even consider stepping into a war there will be no returning from—if you were so inclined to avoid ending up a hell of a lot like your wife, you wouldn’t step into that ring altogether. Don’t go into this match thinking this will be anything less than the mandatory hospital visit I will ENSURE.
(Bethany steps forward, standing in place as she remains headstrong with her words.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: You’re no match for someone like me, a competitor who has achieved far more than many of my own peers can only dream of getting anywhere close to becoming. Including you, Solomon. You should have far more respect for me and everything that I have done, but as I am beating all of the respect into you that you will have no way of anticipating, I’ll give you the ass kicking that you rightfully deserve! I will NOT, BE, DENI—
James Peters: OH MY GOD!!!! SOLOMON STANE PULLS BETHANY’S TO TURN HER AROUND INTO A ‘CALL OF THE VOID’!!!! SOLOMON STANE IS HERE!!!! THE ‘CALL OF THE VOID’ LEAVES BETHANY SCRAMBLING AROUND THE MAT!!! WHAT THE HELL IS SOLOMON DOING HERE?!?!? BETHANY WAS LETTING OUT ALL OF HER WORDS TILL SOLOMON PUT A SWIFT END TO ALL OF THAT!!!
Rich Russillo: HE’S INITIATING AN INVASION OF HIS OWN TONIGHT ON VOLTAGE! SOLOMON ISN’T DONE!!! HE’S DRAGGING BETHANY UPWARDS TO HER FEET, AND HE GETS THE DOC’ IN POSITION HERE… ‘SANITY’S SAKE’!!!! ‘SANITY’S SAKE’ PUTS BETHANY DOWN AS SHE’S LAID OUT!!! SOLOMON WITH HIS OWN MESSAGE IN LIVING COLOR!!!!
(Solomon would stand on his own two feet, as he picks up the microphone, before assuming a towering stance as Bethany is down.)
Solomon Stane: How you have been able to parade yourself around here, speaking out your engrossing sweet nothings without a care… I could not fathom having the shattered state of mind that you bear, Bethany. Do not allow yourself to be so overconfident in your abilities, what you have done in the past will not hold its merit to the elitist that will stand across from me at King of Elite. You don’t have the proper understanding of who I am, and nor will you quite understand the calamity to arise from your own wrongdoings once the moment has finally arrived. Bethany, you laid your hands on Trixie and placed her under vigorous circumstances… for that, you signed off on your impending death warrant.
(Solomon would look outward to the audience, as he would receive the strong reactions of his own while affirming his words.)
Solomon Stane: You should have never made your presence known in any capacity. Not before my wife. Not within Showdown by any means. I have all of the assurance in the world to understand what I am doing, while you lack the wherewithal necessary to weather the storm to come. When I enter the ring at King of Elite, by any means that will guarantee this desired result… I will put you down, Bethany. Much like your own husband, you will be crucified when the time comes, and there is nothing that you can do to stop the inevitable from becoming reality…
(Solomon would glance downward to Bethany.)
Solomon Stane: ‘Till then, watch your back, till it is time to take your defeat in the utmost stride.
(Solomon lowers the microphone, dignified in his words as he would keep his glance toward Bethany, with a grin appearing on his face as Bethany has a referee rushing to her aid, visibly disgruntled with the scene fading out.)
(Commercial for the upcoming Minecraft movie with Jake Smith and Bronson Daniels.)
( We transition back into the arena as ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics begins to blast the P.A System as Harper Lee makes her entrance here on Voltage. She gets bombarded with an immense amount of boos in the arena as Harper looks very defeated judging by what we just saw in her visits to both Dynasty and Showdown. Harper continues to march down the ramp, walking towards the ring. )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… HARPER LEE!!
Rich Russillo: Harper Lee makes her way down to the ring here tonight and oh boy, finding someone to actually team with her has been a struggle. From being outright denied entering the building on Dynasty, to everyone on Showdown practically ignoring and laughing at her attempts to find someone to team with her, I can guess you say the constant patterns of betrayal is biting Harper in the ass don’t you think James?
James Peters: Oh absolutely Rich, from betraying Sierra, to Holly, and plethora of other things, Harper has made her reputation wide and clear on what it is… NEVER TRUST HER. That is no one’s fault but hers as she has made herself into a woman that can’t be trusted. Even when it’s a big matchup facing two legends in Cameron Ella Ava and Jamie O’Hara, when you team with Harper Lee, that level of trust you usually have for a tag partner pretty much goes down the drain the minute you guys lose a match.
Persephone: Yea, I trust the snake that’s in my backyard more then Harper Lee… and I mean that too!
James Peters: You have a snake in your backyard???
Persephone: Yeah a giant one, one that you can find in different continents or equally to size… James’ mom.
James Peters: I hate you.
( Harper continues to make her way to the ring. She even notices a sign that reads “No Friends?” with the MegaMind meme on it. She grabs that sign from the fan and rips it apart as she gets even more boos from the crowd. Harper climbs the stair steps, and enters the ring through the ropes. She walks over to the other side of the ring as a ring side official hands Harper a microphone. Harper stands in the middle as her music begins to fade out here on Sunday Night Voltage. The crowd continues to boo her as Harper lets them boo until they simmer down as she then begins to speak towards the people in the arena, and those watching at home. )
Harper Lee: Well… the past few days haven’t been the best to say the least. I have made numerous attempts, numerous offers to those not only on this brand, but on other brands like Showdown and Dynasty; a worthwhile opportunity. An opportunity to not only be in the ring and beat up those idiots in Cameron and Jamie, but a chance to actually defeat them. I presented that to numerous people, and all of them rejected me. All of them wanted nothing to do with that and I don’t know why. I don’t care if people deem me as “untrustworthy” because more often or not, everyone in this company can be just as sneaky, just as dishonest but yet no one bats an eye to them. No one bats to anyone of those individuals but yet here I am being the sole reason no one wants to face Jamie and Cam. If no one is actually going to be tag partner, then I guess it will just be a Handicap match afterall.
Harper Lee: And you know what… I am perfectly fine with that. I am perfectly fine with this being a Handicap match because this was what I wanted in the first place as I don’t really need any type of partner to help me out. I offered those who wanted to be my partner as a way of exposure, a way maybe reaching another level their own rivals haven’t reached yet. I have offered that but yet the black sheep, and the thing that was holding back those peoples chance to face a team of Jamie O’Hara and Cameron Ell Ava was that they had to team with me. They all are annoying anyways, they couldn’t see the bigger picture that I was telling them and now I can handle them all on my own. I never needed a Sierra, I never needed a Holly, and I certainly don’t need anything else’s help in beating-
( All of a sudden ‘Freewill’ by Roisee would begin to blast in the arena as ARIA is here on Sunday Night Voltage. The fans are shocked that The Absolute Truth is here on Voltage surprising everyone. Harper Lee is confused as to why ARIA is out here. ARIA marches down the ring and slides through the bottom rope. She grabs a microphone, handed to her by a ring-side official as she begins to speak towards Harper and her supposed problem that she is dealing with. )
ARIA: I think it’s very clear to everyone here that we don’t particularly like each other. That we aren’t typically the best of friends because of the history we share with each other. History that takes us back almost two years ago when we squared off in a match at King of Elite when you were EAW Specialist Champion. Back then, you underestimated me and I prepared heavily for it. We had an amazing match and while you were the better women that night, that made me even hungrier, even more motivated, which led to me becoming Specialist Champion later in the year. I don’t like you, and you don’t like me but despite that if someone needs help, if someone really needs assistance, I’ll do everything in my power to help them… and that’s exactly what I’m doing to you Harper.
( Harper is surprised to hear this as ARIA continues to speak towards her… )
ARIA: Again, as much as I don’t like you Harper, a sentiment that is shared with the rest of the other locker rooms here in EAW… you are very clearly desperate for a partner. Desperate enough to seek Elitists from both Dynasty and Showdown to help you with your problem against Jamie and Cam. Maybe you could have taken them on in a Handicap Match but we all know that would have been difficult on your part to face those two icons all by yourself. Considering the match against Jamie and Cameron would actually be greatly beneficial to me as a win against those two could get me right back into something I want… the world title scene. Another crack at Universal Women’s Championship or even Answers World Title, whatever it may be, a match against two established legends of this business is the perfect setup for that. So there you go Harper, someone that can team with you, someone that will actually be your partner. Not really any other choice unless you really want to face Jamie and Cam in a two on one situation.
( ARIA extends her hand out to Harper who at this point is hesitant on whether or not she should accept the offer from ARIA. ARIA keeps telling her off the microphone that she is all that’s got left. After several moments of deciding and thinking on Harper Lee’s part, she finally shakes the hand of ARIA as it looks like Harper has found herself a partner that will actually team with her to face Jamie O’Hara and Cameron Ell Ava. Harper then begins to speak again towards ARIA. )
Harper Lee: I guess I don’t have another choice do I? I will say one thing though ARIA, something that needs to be said… don’t screw this up for me, okay?
ARIA: I’ll do my part Harper, now you just have to do yours.
(ARIA drops her microphone as she leaves the ring. Harper watches her leave as ARIA makes her way to the stage area as Harper then follows suit, leaving the ring as well. )
Rich Russillo: WOW! Looks like Harper did find someone to team with her, might not have been the partner that she wanted, but it’s the only partner that she has. Really intrigued on how this match is gonna go with these two as partners.
James Peters: Like ARIA mentioned, there is history between her and Harper and I’m sure things are going to get heated. With the very public reputation Harper has towards her partners, you would have to think ARIA gotta have eyes in the back of her head right?
Persephone: DUH! Obviously.
( Both ladies are out of the ring, and are headed to the back as Sunday Night Voltage transitions to a commercial break. )
(Promotional ad for King of Elite, where Jamie O’Hara and Cameron Ella Ava face ARIA and Harper Lee.)
(Voltage fades to the backstage area, and Michael S. Connor and TLA are seen walking through the area. The fans immediately cheer seeing them, but from the looks on their faces, both TLA and Michael seem to be all business right now. For the last few weeks they’ve been dealing with La Familia, and things have grown heated between them. Earlier tonight, TLA was seen attacking Brianna Hill with a bat, which caused enough of a distraction for Valerie to lose to Jamie Cross. Michael and TLA eventually stop in front of a door, which turns out to be the locker room of Jack Ripley. The two look at each other for a moment, before TLA knocks on the door. They wait for a little while, before eventually Jack opens the door with a bit of a confused look on his face.)
Jack Ripley: Can I help you?
Michael S. Connor: After these last few weeks, yes.
(Jack glances at TLA before continuing.)
Jack Ripley: What do you two want?
TLA: ¡Que onda Jack mi amigo! I know y’all real happy to see us beating down yo locker room door. I promise y’all we ain’t here to jump yo culo or nothing. Not tonight anyway. We have come and we have come to talk. Cuz we good hombres tonight. You know you be looking at a vato like he not telling the truth you be suspecting us of being bad hombres but that could not be further from the truth. You know as well as I do that there is only one group of roving haters around this locker room that be out here tryna jump yo ass on the weekly and it ain’t us. It ain’t this combat veterano in Michael S. Connor and it ain’t no hardened veterano of the lucha game like yo boi La Pantera Sexual neither. Nah we come in peace homeboi and you see I be keeping my ears to the streets. I know shit that be going on. I know that y’all was jumped by La Familia and you know that shit ain’t sit right with me. We sick and tired of they mierda around here and we know that you is too. They be jumpin’ errybody and the way I see it is if them hijos de putas want a fight then we ain’t about to just puss out on some Mr. Wrestling or Korey Gaines type shit. Nah they done messed with the wrong ones. A bully only tough until someone stands up to them and we finna do just that real quick.
Michael S. Connor: That’s right. This situation with La Familia has gotten out of hand, and the longer we allow this to continue, the worse things will get. We all saw what they did to TLA at Road to Redemption, and how they interfered with the King of Elite tournament. That was only the beginning, and we know how you got dragged into this, too. Something needs to be done about La Familia, or else they’re going to keep running around attacking whoever they can get their hands on and making the rest of the season a nightmare for the rest of us.
TLA: The way that I see it though we can go down to they locker room right now beat the shit outta them, get our gang war on. Pero Michael be telling me that y’all prolly not into that. So we gotta come up with a better solution to our problems. Something that will not prolong the ongoing violencia as much as that might sound fun to an OG like me. We gotta humiliate them and teach them a lesson on a grander stage that them pendejos ain’t just going to forget the next week. Teach em not to fuck with the realest show em that next time they think they big and tough they should think twice before tryna run too wild all over our brand. We taking back Voltage cabron.
(Jack looks a bit unsure. While he didn’t want to get wrapped up in all of this, he’s not happy with La Familia’s attack on him last week.)
Jack Ripley: What are you guys planning?
Michael S. Connor: We want a match against them at King of Elite. The problem is, right now there’s only the two of us. The biggest advantage La Familia has is their strength in numbers, which is why we need help.
(Jack takes a moment to think about whether or not he wants to join Michael and TLA, knowing that this means facing La Familia at King of Elite. After some time, Jack begins to answer.)
Jack Ripley: I’ll join you two. I didn’t care for those guys, but I’m not about to let them get away with attacking me for no reason. If taking them out is necessary for getting my career back on track then I’ll do that. I already took down one of them last week, so there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to beat them at King of Elite. I’m going to turn things around for myself, and I’ll start by making La Familia regret ever putting their hands on me.
(The fans are cheering hearing that Jack will be joining the team, and both Michael and TLA seem pleased by Jack accepting the offer.)
TLA: Orale carnal! I knew that y’all was the right homie for this job! You know that we going to be getting that venganza in and then some on them pinche pendejos. Now it is time to be making this shit straight up official. You know that we going to war but we gotta declare that shit first. Gotta step to them gotta put them boots on the ground. So what do you say mis amigos? I see no reason to wait. You know I be hyped up. I know you be hyped up. You wanna be throwing them manos right now right here with all that quickness. So I say let us not wait any longer. A vato like me finna be in that ring calling they asses out right here tonight. See if they got the cojones to answer our challenge. Vamonos.
(Jack nods before exiting his locker room, closing the door behind him. Together, the three Elitists walk away from the area as the camera pans over to ringside.)
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac hits as the camera pans to ringside, and the fans cheer loudly as TLA, Michael S. Connor and Jack Ripley begin walking out to the stage. The three Elitists are now holding microphones in their hands, and they begin walking down the ramp, heading towards the ring as the loud cheers continue.)
James Peters: Well we saw backstage that Jack Ripley has aligned himself with TLA and Michael S. Connor, all for one goal. Taking down La Familia.
Rich Russillo: We know that La Familia has already done a lot of damage throughout their time on Voltage. Honestly, I can’t say I’m surprised things have come to this.
Persephone: I don’t know why they think they can win a match against them. La Familia has Luis, these three do not.
(Jack, Michael and TLA all walk up the steel steps and enter the ring. As TLA’s entrance music fades out, Jack begins to speak.)
Jack Ripley: Last week, I wasn’t worried about picking fights with stables. I wasn’t thinking about Roberto De La Rosa, or Luis De La Rosa, or Valerie Hellstorm. I was focused on my own matches and my own career, and when it was time for me to enter the ring, what did I do? I beat La Familia’s own Brianna Hill. It wasn’t anything personal. I couldn’t have cared less about her or anyone else in that group. I simply did my job, and in the end I was good enough to put her away. That should’ve been enough for them to back off and go back to whatever they were doing, but instead they messed up. They dragged me into a mess that has already gone on for entirely too long, and I’m out here right now because I want La Familia to realize that they screwed up. They never should’ve attacked me, and they shouldn’t have expected me to let them do whatever they want afterwards. La Familia’s going to get what’s coming to them, and it’ll happen very soon.
(The fans cheer as Jack stops speaking, and Michael S. Connor begins to talk.)
Michael S. Connor: I already made my intentions clear. La Familia hurt my friend, and they haven’t stopped there. Unfortunately attacking Korey Gaines was only the beginning, and things have gotten worse week after week. Last week I had the chance to advance to the finals of the King of Elite tournament but I gave that up. I threw away that opportunity, because I wasn’t going to let La Familia get what they wanted. It was either I allowed them to take me out of the match anyway or I went and I fought them, and in my mind it was a very easy decision. I’m fighting them, and I’ll fight them for as long as I need to in order to make things right. A group like that shouldn’t be allowed to run wild and do whatever they want without any repercussions. Someone needs to stop them. Someone needs to make sure nobody else has to be hurt by La Familia, and that’s exactly what the three of us are here for.
(The fans cheer as Michael S. Connor stops talking and TLA begins to talk.)
TLA: Y’all already know how it be with me. This ain’t complicated. La Familia can say it is all business all they want but at Road to Redemption they picked a fight with me. They came through and they took my Hardcore Championship. You know I coulda left it there and maybe I even considered it. Thought about moving on to different championships and different opps. Pero tengo una responsabilidad. I got some unfinished business to take care of with them, and when they started thinking that just cuz they got one over on me they could run around and do the same with everyone else on Voltage? Nah I knew then that the fight was not over. La Familia can jump me all they want, but they ain’t realize that not everyone they beat down is going to just stay down. Nah they don’t know who they messing with. You people recognize tho. You looking at us every single week and know exactly what we about. When some haters decide they want to fuck with the Voltage locker room? You know that they just done fucked up. That is why we up in this ring and we standing on business. You want a fight? You want to take us on? You can take us all on. At King of Elite queremos La Familia! We want a fight!
(“Peligro” by Peso Pluma hits to loud boos from the audience. Roberto De La Rosa, Valerie Hellstorm, Brianna Hil, who is still holding onto the back of her head from earlierl, and Luis De La Rosa step out onto the stage. They seem very pleased with themselves after their actions earlier tonight but clearly the crowd and the three men in the ring are not impressed. Roberto De La Rosa is shown with a microphone in hand as the music fades out.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Es una broma? I feel like I am asking that pregunta a lot lately… But now more than ever I want an answer to that because I don’t know if you have been paying attention… But we run things around here! We are the perros grandes in this yard. Hayley Morrow found that out the hard way tonight. Now you three idiotas are down in the ring and you are just begging for us to come down there and hand you another beating? ¿Son todos estúpidos?
(Roberto De La Rosa directs the question to Luis De La Rosa who takes the microphone away from him.)
Luis De La Rosa: I think it is very obvious they are. I think that this must be the special ed class of Voltage because you three obviously got some very severe discapacidades mentales if you think that you stand a chance against us. I mean maybe you three can’t count this high but check this out… I look up here and I see… myself… Roberto… Valerie… Brianna… That’s four. Cuatro. Four legends. I look down there in the ring and I see… TLA… Michael… Jack… That’s three. Tres. Three losers who you would think would have packed up and left this company by now with their tails between their legs because we have owned them so many times. But clearly you want some more.
(Brianna Hill takes the microphone from Luis.)
Brianna Hill: Really? Three on four? Is that what you really want? I’ll be nice. As the new girl around here I have a soft spot in my heart. I’ll give you all a chance to back out of making this idiotic career ending decision. What do you think?
(Valerie Hellstorm takes the microphone from Brianna.)
Valerie Hellstorm: Personally I think that we should let them commit career suicide if that is what they really want. I mean you can’t cure stupid. Really it is either we end their careers at King of Elite or we end their careers eventually one week or another when they cross our paths. Wrong place or wrong time. It’s just business though. Nothing personal. Everyone else on Voltage? We are coming for them too and we will take everyone we have to out until we have secured full control for La Familia.
(TLA interrupts them as he still has the microphone in the ring.)
TLA: No me importa! I really don’t care what Senora Cultural Appropriation has to say but as for the rest of you. We know exactly what we are getting ourselves into. Estamos preparados para luchar. We was ready to fight yo bitch asses single handedly if necessary. If anything y’all the dumb ones cuz you coulda picked us off single handedly and I gotta give y’all some credit. You been doing a pretty good job of that so far. But you done overreached and now you turned us all against you. It don’t matter if you still got the numbers advantage. Cuz at King of Elite we be coming for yo necks and we ain’t forgotten what y’all have been doing to us these past weeks. Y’all making it a very dangerous place here on Voltage. Hard to even get through a night without having to worry about y’all jumping us from behind or some shit. You gonna find out real quick tho that you best not back an animal into a corner. Cuz you given us no choice but to fight back and we going to be fighting back like our lives are on the line. We ain’t scurred. The only question now is… are you?
(The members of La Familia are shown laughing clearly not willing to admit that they are scared and making fun of the notion that they would be afraid of a Handicap Match challenge in their favor. By now all four members are in the ring, and Roberto begins to speak.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Fine. We acc-
(Before Roberto could complete his sentence, ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert hits. While Ruler usually receives more of a mixed reaction, right now it is much more positive in the presence of La Familia. Ruler walks out as La Familia looks surprised, and he holds a microphone in his hand as he makes his way down the ramp. Ruler would stop at the bottom of the ramp, leaving La Familia surrounded as they’d have TLA, Michael and Jack in front of them, and Ruler behind them. Before long, Ruler begins to speak.)
Ruler: You look surprised. I don’t think I understand why you would be surprised, though. I’m sure the four of you understand that actions have consequences, especially when your actions harm others solely for the sake of boosting your egos. When you go out of your way to attack someone, the first thing you should expect is for them to eventually strike back. Tonight wasn’t the first time that you tried to make an example out of Hayley Morrow just so you could show us all how dangerous La Familia supposedly is, but I can guarantee that it will be the last time. Above all else you four have grown overconfident, and that right there is going to be your undoing. See, heading into this building I did not have a match scheduled for King of Elite. My partner and friend Alexis may be heading to the King of Elite finals, but my own schedule was empty. That’s changed now, as I’ll be taking things into my own hands.
(Ruler looks over towards Michael, TLA and Jack as he continues.)
Ruler: You three may have been prepared to fight in a four-on-three, but you don’t need to do that. At King of Elite, I will be on your team.
(This causes an extremely loud reaction to come from the fans, and TLA, Jack Ripley and Michael S. Connor look pleased to have a fourth member of their team. La Familia doesn’t share that happiness however, and an unamused Roberto De La Rosa begins to speak.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Eso es bueno. Eso esta muy bien. So apparently you all have decided you are just going to round up some big gang and start coming after us right? Wrong! That is not going to happen. This is La Familia’s turf and nothing you do will stop us! You have four hombres. That is great you think the odds are even? Wrong again! You see you can find eight men and you will still be inferior compared to the force that is La Familia. We aren’t concerned at all. We aren’t scared at all. At King of Elite you will see why. People think that we have only accomplished what we have accomplished because of some numbers game but the truth is one member of La Familia is worth more than the four of you all put together. Claro que si… we accept the challenge and we will see you all at King of Elite. Assuming you make it that far and we let you survive until then. But mark my words you made a mistake by challenging us. We cannot be stopped. You won’t stop us. Todos comprenderán su costoso error.
(Roberto De La Rosa slams the microphone down and looks upset that the group of wrestlers they have attacked in recent weeks has banded together to challenge them. The other members of La Familia are shown yelling down at their opponents for King of Elite in the ring angrily making threats against their lives before leaving with Roberto. Ruler, TLA, Michael S. Connor, and Jack Ripley are shown celebrating in the ring having gotten exactly what they wanted as the camera cuts to a commercial.)
(Promotional ad for King of Elite, where La Familia faces TLA, Michael S. Connor, Jack Ripley and Ruler.)
(The camera fades to the backstage area, where Cameron Ella Ava is seen walking through the hallway. She is seen in her in-ring attire, and the fans in attendance begin cheering as she is seen. As Cameron continues walking however, she is stopped by Sofia Clarke.)
Sofia Clarke: Cameron! I was hoping to get a word with you earlier, but I heard you actually weren’t at the arena.
Cameron Ella Ava: Yeah, that’s right. I actually arrived late thanks to some issues. Unfortunately Hathaway is a bit sick right now, so we needed to get things sorted out before we could even think about showing up tonight. Since I already had a match to compete in Jamie decided to stay home to take care of Hathaway, which is why I’m here now.
Sofia Clarke: Ah, I understand. That must be why I hadn’t seen Jamie tonight either. Sorry to hear Hathaway isn’t feeling well, I hope he gets better!
Cameron Ella Ava: Thank you. Now that I’m here though, what is it you were hoping to ask about?
Sofia Clarke: It’s about your King of Elite match. Since you weren’t here yet you missed a major announcement that I wanted to hear your thoughts on.
(Cameron looks a bit surprised.)
Cameron Ella Ava: Really?
Sofia Clarke: That’s right. Harper Lee now has a tag team partner, and it’s none other than Showdown’s ARIA. This means that at King of Elite it’ll be you and Jamie facing ARIA and Harper Lee! Is there anything you’d like to say about that?
(Cameron remains silent for a moment, but she can’t help but chuckle a bit hearing this.)
Cameron Ella Ava: Is this true?
Sofia Clarke: Yes.
Cameron Ella Ava: Wow. I’m surprised, honestly. I thought everyone knew better than to trust someone like Harper by now, but I guess she actually found someone capable of making that mistake again. I don’t get it, honestly. What does anyone gain working with Harper Lee anymore? It’s a shame, because ARIA’s a nice girl, and now she set herself up to be humiliated for no good reason. We all know how Harper operates. The second things stop going her way she starts blaming others, and who better to blame than whoever’s closest to her? We’ve seen it before. We saw it with Sierra, we saw it with Holly. I’m sure by now everyone knows that teaming up with Harper isna recipe for disaster, and I’ll just make this clear. Tag team or not, there is no chance Jamie and I lose at King of Elite. Honestly, Harper was better off not challenging us at all, and ARIA should’ve known better than to get involved in something like this.
Sofia Clarke: Well it sounds like you’re ready for King of Elite.
Cameron Ella Ava: Of course I am. I was ready ever since Harper set out that ridiculous challenge to begin with, and much like I said back then, I know that this is only going to end one way. That’s with Jamie and I on top, while Harper is once again reduced to crying about her problems. While it was unlikely that Harper actually found someone willing to waste their time, I’m not the type to walk into matches unprepared. After all, I’m not just a Hall of Famer. I’m one of the biggest names EAW has ever had, and I didn’t have that type of reputation handed to me. At the end of the day nothing changes just because someone like Harper found someone else to turn her back on. Neither Harper nor ARIA have what it takes to win this match for their team, and once we win at King of Elite, ARIA’s going to realize that she set herself up in the worst way possible. Mark my words. Harper is going to blame ARIA once things go wrong, and when it happens ARIA can’t say she wasn’t warned.
Sofia Clarke: Cameron thank you for your time, and good luck in your match against the Specialists Champion, Bea Valentine.
Cameron Ella Ava: Anytime.
(As she says this, ‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn hits, meaning that it’s time for her to make her entrance. Cameron begins walking away from the area with a smirk on her face, clearly ready for her upcoming match against the Champion. The camera then transitions away from the backstage area, and towards ringside.)
(As Voltage fades to ringside ‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn continues to play. After a few seconds, Cameron Ella Ava is seen walking out to the stage, and she still has a smirk on her face. For a moment the camera pans over to ringside where Princess Candice is seen seated, and during this, the fans are heard cheering. The camera pans back to Cameron, who begins walking down the ramp, seemingly not worried heading into this match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From Los Angeles, California… Weighing in at 140 pounds… CCAAAAMMMERRROONNNNN EEELLLLAAAAA AAAAAAVVVVVAAAA!!!!!!
James Peters: Tonight we have Princess Candice here at ringside for this match, but it’s not her sister Cameron Ella Ava that has any reason to worry about that. Instead, Cameron is looking to pick up a victory heading into King of Elite, where it appears her and Jamie O’Hara will take on Harper Lee and ARIA.
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava is a Hall of Famer and for good reason. Her opponent will have an uphill battle for herself, even if she is a Champion.
Persephone: Eh. Cameron’s not exactly the best wrestler anyway.
(‘Bewitched’ by Frank Sinatra hits, and the fans in attendance begin booing loudly as Bea Valentine begins making her way out to the stage. Wearing her Specialists Championship, she has a confident look on her face as she walks down the ramp and heads towards the ring. However, she doesn’t look too pleased to see Princess Candice at ringside, and is forced to try and ignore her on her way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… From Boston Massachusetts… Weighing in at 143 pounds… SHE IS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, BEEEEAAAA VVAAAAAAAAAALLLEEENNNTTIIIIIIIINNNEE!!!!!
James Peters: Bea Valentine is here, and she’s the one who’s actually affected by Candice’s presence here at ringside. You think this will hurt her performance tonight?
Rich Russillo: I want to say no, but with how heated things have gotten, and with the kind of Elitist Bea is, it very well might.
Persephone: Yikes. From bad to worse.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: HERE WE GO! Cameron and Bea lock up in the middle of the ring, and Cameron is immediately able to take control with a headlock, before taking Bea to the ground and transitioning to a grounded headlock! Cameron is the first to take control, but Bea is quickly able to fight back as she wraps her legs around Cameron’s head for a headscissors! Bea holds Cameron in place for a moment, before Cameron escapes the hold and both women rush back to their feet- JUST FOR CAMERON TO TAKE BEA DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG! Cameron now with the chinlock, and this is the experience of a Hall of Famer on display right now!
Rich Russillo: Bea turns around and uses her arm to sweep Cameron’s legs, and as soon as Cameron drops to the mat Bea tries to surprise her with a cover! Cameron immediately kicks out though, and as both women rush back to their feet, CAMERON GOES FOR A- NO! Bea caught her arm before going behind Cameron for a hammerlock hold, and Bea looks pretty proud of herself for that one! Bea has a grin on her face, BUT CAMERON IS ABLE TO WIPE THAT SMILE OFF HER FACE BY ROLLING OUT OF THE HAMMERLOCK BEFORE SENDING BEA INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING!
James Peters: Cameron now running in, AND THERE’S A DROPKICK TO BEA VALENTINE! Cameron is back to her feet, but Bea Valentine immediately rolls out to the apron- just to see Princess Candice staring directly at her! It looks like Bea won’t have much of a chance to take a breather tonight, as she’s forced to just roll back in the ring! Unfortunately for Bea though, Cameron is right there waiting for her! Cameron quickly grabs Bea, pulling her into a front facelock as Bea is in a bit of trouble! Cameron now lifting Bea up for a suplex-
Rich Russillo: BUT BEA VALENTINE DROPS DOWN AND PULLS CAMERON INTO A SMALL PACKAGE! THE COVER BY BEA!
ONE!
T-
Persephone: :francis: That would’ve been the perfect time to end the match.
Rich Russillo: I’m sure Bea would agree, but Cameron kicks out! Both women now back to their feet- AND BEA VALENTINE CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK!!! CAMERON DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE AFTER BEING CAUGHT OFF GUARD WITH THAT SUPERKICK, AND NOW BEA QUICKLY RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE TAKING CAMERON DOWN WITH A SHINING WIZARD! What a combination by the Specialists Champion!
Persephone: Ehhh. Could’ve been better. Luis could do better than that in his sleep, so I’m not really sure why you’re hyping that up.
James Peters: Cameron is trying to push herself back up, BUT BEA VALENTINE QUICKLY BEGINS STOMPING AWAY AT THE HALL OF FAMER! Bea Valentine isn’t exactly known for winning in clean fashion, but I’ll give her credit where it’s due. Her tactics work. There’s a reason she’s the Specialists Champion right now after the incredible reign Milli Banks had last year.
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine continues to stomp away at Cameron Ella Ava, who pulls herself into the corner! This was smart on Cameron’s part, as Bea now only has a few more seconds to continue stomping! The referee begins the count, but Bea Valentine immediately backs off. Bea turning her attention towards Candice as Cameron slowly pulls herself back up, and you can tell that Bea really doesn’t like her presence here at ringside. She needs to be careful, though. You don’t want something like this to throw you off your game when you’re facing someone like Cameron Ella Ava.
James Peters: You’re right about that. Bea Valentine now rushing back in towards Cameron, BUT CAMERON MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH AN ELBOW, FORCING BEA TO STUMBLE BACK! Cameron now grabbing Bea by the back of her head, and she slams Bea’s face into the top turnbuckle! Bea stumbles out of the corner, and now Cameron pulls her in before connecting with a snap suplex! Cameron doesn’t seem to be done there, either! She gets back to her feet while holding onto Bea, AND IT LOOKS LIKE CAMERON IS SETTING UP FOR A SECOND SUPLEX- WAIT, NO! BEA MANAGES TO LAND BEHIND CAMERON!
Rich Russillo: BEA SHOVES CAMERON TOWARDS THE ROPES, AND NOW SHE RUNS IN BEFORE- NO! CAMERON DUCKED DOWN BEFORE LIFTING BEA OVER HER, BUT INSTEAD OF SENDONG BEA OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING, CAMERON GRABBED BEA BY THE LEGS AND PLANTED HER ONTO THE MAT WITH AN ALABAMA SLAM! BEA IS DOWN, AND NOW CAMERON GOES FOR THE COVER ON THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!
ONE!
TWO!!
Rich Russillo: BEA KICKS OUT, KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE!
Persephone: That’s a problem. Bea isn’t even good at wrestling, how did she kick out of that? Is Cameron just washed? That has to be it.
James Peters: Well Cameron is in control, and she wastes no time dragging Bea back up to her feet, AND NOW CAMERON GOES FOR SNAP- NO! JUST AS CAMERON WENT FOR SNAPBACK, BEA USED HER HANDS TO PROTECT HER FACE FROM CAMERON’S KNEE! BEA NOW SHOVING CAMERON INTO THE TURNBUCKLES BEFORE RUNNING IN, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! BEA NOW RUNNING TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AS CAMERON DROPS DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION, AND NOW BEA RUNS IN TO PUT AWAY CAMERON AND PICK UP ONE OF HER BIGGEST VICTORIES YET! BEA VALENTINE NOW WITH THE BEA SWARM!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! CAMERON WAS ABLE TO DIVE OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING BEA TO COLLIDE WITH THE TURNBUCKLES! Cameron quickly gets back up, AND SHE HITS BEA WITH AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Bea was rocked by that, and now Cameron looks to take advantage as she grabs Bea! Cameron now looking for a German suplex, BUT BEA IS ABLE TO LAND ON HER FEET! BEA FLIPPED OUT OF IT, AND AS SOON AS CAMERON GETS BACK UP BEA TAKES HER DOWN WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! These two are going back and forth, but that might not last much longer as Bea heads up to the top rope!
James Peters: Bea Valentine is up top, AND SHE WASTES NO TIME DIVING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE! FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEA CONNECTS ON THE HALL OF FAMER, AND BEA VALENTINE MAY HAVE JUST WON THIS MATCH! BEA NOW QUICKLY HOOKING THE LEGS AS SHE STARES DIRECTLY AT HER KING OF ELITE CHALLENGER, AND I THINK THIS ONE MAY BE OVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
James Peters: NO, I WAS WRONG! CAMERON IS ABLE TO KICK OUT BEFORE THREE, AND ONCE AGAIN THIS MATCH IS KEPT ALIVE AS THESE TWO REFUSE TO STAY DOWN!
Rich Russillo: Good attempt by Bea, but it’ll take more than that if you want to take down Cameron Ella Ava. After all, she’s a Hall of Famer and multiple time World Champion for good reason. Bea clearly isn’t happy that Cameron was able to kick out, and knowing that she was just staring at Candice to taunt her doesn’t exactly do her any favors. Bea now slowly dragging Cameron back up to her feet, and if Bea wants to put Cameron away she’s going to need to bring even more rhan she already has so far.
Persephone: In other words, she needs to learn how to wrestle. It really says a lot about how awful the wrestlers around here are that someone like this was able to become a Champion.
James Peters: Bea Valentine now has Cameron up, AND SHE PULLS HER INTO POSITION BEFORE GOING FOR THE CONSPIRACY- BUT CAMERON IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF BEA’S GRASP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI! THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL, AS THAT MOVE MAY HAVE ACTUALLY WON THE MATCH FOR BEA IF IT HAD CONNECTED!
Rich Russillo: Candice Blair still watching at ringside to see what happens between her sister and the Specialists Champion, BUT SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE TO KEEP WATCHING FOR VERY LONG! CAMERON JUST SCOOPED THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS SETTING UP FOR NO BODY, NO CRIME- BUT BEA VALENTINE IS ABLE TO DELIVER SOME ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF CAMERON’S HEAD! BEA IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE POSSIBLY CAN TO AVOID BEING HIT BY THIS MOVE! IF THIS CONNECTS ON BEA, THIS MATCH MIGHT JUST COME TO AN END!
James Peters: BEA VALENTINE IS ABLE TO GET OFF OF CAMERON’S SHOULDERS AND BACK ON HER FEET, AND NOW SHE TURNS CAMERON AROUND BEFORE DELIVERING A FOREARM TO THE FACE! BEA NOW WITH A SECOND FOREARM! A THIRD FOREARM BY BEA NOW, AND IT LOOKS LIKE BEA IS JUST TRYING TO SLOWLY BREAK DOWN CAMERON RIGHT NOW WITH THESE FOREARMS! Bea clearly knows what she’s doing, but she definitely isn’t having as easy of a time as I’m sure she wishes she was right now! Candice is watching still, and I’m not so sure whether or not she’ll be impressed by the Champion!
Rich Russillo: Bea now sending Cameron into the corner of the ring, AND NOW BEA RUSHES IN BEFORE- NO! CAMERON GETS OUT OF THE WAY ONCE AGAIN AS BEA CRASHES INTO THE TURNBUCKLES- AND AS SOON AS BEA STUMBLED OUT OF THE CORNER, CAMERON DROPPED HER WITH THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH! CAMERON CONNECT WITH THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH, AND BEA VALENTINE IS OUT! THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION IS OUT COLD, AND CAMERON ELLA AVA HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE THREE COUNT!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
Rich Russillo: NO! THIS ONE ISN’T OVER JUST YET! BEA VALENTINE IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP, THIS MATCH IS STILL ON!!!!
Persephone: Unbelievable. A match like this still isn’t over!? Are these two hitting each other with weak moves on purpose or something!?
James Peters: Cameron makes her way back to her feet before slowly dragging Bea Valentine back up, AND NOW CAMERON KNEES BEA IN THE MIDSECTION! CAMERON WITH A SECOND KNEE, AND A THIRD, BEFORE SENDING BEA INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING! Cameron now charging in, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO BEA IN THE CORNER! Cameron is in control right now, and this really isn’t good for the Specialists Champion, who I’m sure doesn’t want to lose right in front of her challenger! If Bea wants to win this match she needs to turn this around, and fast!
Rich Russillo: Cameron scoops Bea up onto her shoulders following that clothesline, BUT THIS TIME BEA BEGINS DELIVERING KNEES TO THE SIDE OF CAMERON’S HEAD! ONCE AGAIN BEA IS AVOIDING BEING HIT WITH NO BODY, NO CRIME, AND THIS TIME CAMERON DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH IN HER TO TRY AND FIGHT THROUGH IT! Cameron is forced to let go of Bea, and Bea drops back onto her feet, BEFORE HITTING CAMERON WITH AN UPPERCUT! I think at this point Bea is just throwing whatever she can at Cameron. I doubt she has a whole lot left after that Wonder Woman Punch.
James Peters: Bea Valentine now with a knife edge chop, BUT CAMERON RESPONDS WITH AN ELBOW THAT ALMOST DROPS BEA! BEA NOW WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT CAUSES CAMERON TO STUMBLE, AND NOW BEA GOES FOR A SUPERKIC- NO! CAMERON CAUGHT BEA’S LEG, AND NOW SHE TURNS HER AROUND BEFORE GOING FOR ANOTHER WONDER WOMAN PUNC- BEA DUCKS UNDER IT! BEA DUCKS UNDER THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH THIS TIME AROUND, AND THERE’S THE BACK ELBOW TO THE HALL OF FAMER! Bea Valentine now grabbing Cameron, and I think she’s going for a- WAIT A SECOND! CAMERON BEGINS FIGHTING BACK, DELIVERING PUNCHES TO BEA’S RIBS!
Rich Russillo: Bea is forced to let go of Cameron, AND NOW CAMERON SWEEPS BEA’S LEGS BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP TO THE HEAD! BEA ROLLS AWAY TO THE ROPES AS SHE COVERS HER HEAD IN PAIN, AND CAMERON REALLY GOT HER WITH THAT ONE! This match has started to dissolve into a real back and forth, which just goes to show that these two are hurt! Without enough time to recover, I feel like all they need is one more big move to take down the opponent!
Persephone: Well one of them better hit that move right now. I’m tired of watching them wrestle. Neither of them are any good at it, and I don’t want to have to look at the fake Princess anymore either.
James Peters: Well Cameron is dragging Bea to her feet, AND I THINK CAMERON WAS PLANNING TO TRY AND FINISH THIS MATCH OFF HERE, BUT THIS TIME IT’S BEA FENDING HER OFF WITH THOSE DESPERATE PUNCHES AND ELBOWS! Cameron stumbles away, AND BEA HITS CAMERON WITH A DISCUS FOREARM! Cameron remains on her feet though, AND SHE HITS BEA WITH AN ELBOW! Both women now-
(Suddenly, ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics hits, causing extremely loud boos to come from the fans in attendance as they already know who this music belongs to. As soon as this song hits both Bea Valentine and Cameron Ella Ava turn towards the stage, and Cameron is noticeably annoyed.)
James Peters: Uh oh. We all know who this music belongs to, but what is Harper Lee doing here!?
Rich Russillo: Come on, do we really need to ask!? We know what she’s here for, and that’s to cost Cameron Ella Ava this match!
Persephone: Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, this loser is here.
(Harper Lee walks out to the stage, staring directly at Cameron with a smirk on her face. Harper begins walking down the ramp, but before she could get far, ARIA rushes out, getting in front of Harper and stopping her in her tracks.)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) :wtf: What are you doing!?
ARIA: (off-mic) I could be asking you the same thing! Why are you out here!?
Harper Lee: (off-mic) It’s none of your business, now move!
(Harper and ARIA continue to argue, meanwhile the camera pans over to the ring. Cameron and Bea both appear to be distracted, meanwhile the referee has made his way to ringside to try and sort things out with Harper and ARIA and get them away from ringside. However, Princess Candice is still at ringside, and she uses this moment to slide into the ring.)
James Peters: Uh oh, Candice just got in the ring, and I don’t think we need to ask why! CANDICE RUSHES OVER TO THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, HITTING HER WITH AN ELBOW TO THE-
Rich Russillo: NO! BEA DUCKED UNDER IT, AND CANDICE JUST DROPPED HER OWN SISTER! BEA SAW CANDICE COMING AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE ATTACK! CANDICE DROPPED CAMERON, AND NOW BEA SHOVES CANDICE THROUGH THE ROPES!
(As Cameron slowly pushes herself back up in confusion, Harper quickly points the referee to the ring.)
James Peters: CAMERON STUMBLES BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND BEA VALENTINE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE BEA TRIGGER!!!!! THE BEA TRIGGER CONNECTS ON CAMERON ELLA AVA, AND THE REFEREE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AS BEA HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, BEEAAAAA VAAAAAAAALLLEENNNNTTIIIIIIIINNNEE!!!!!!
(Bea Valentine pulls herself off of Cameron as the fans in attendance boo, meanwhile Princess Candice can’t believe what just happened. ARIA and Harper Lee are still on the stage, and Harper looks pleasantly surprised by the turn of events. Bea is handed her Championship, all while Candice is beside herself.)
James Peters: Wow. I didn’t expect such a turn of events in this match, but- WOAH WAIT A MINUTE!
Rich Russillo: CANDICE SLID BACK INTO THE RING, AND NOW SHE IS GOING AFTER BEA VALENTINE!!!!! CANDICE BEGINS TO ATTACK BEA, GOING AFTER HER WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS AS BEA HAS ALREADY BEEN THROUGH A MATCH TONIGHT!!!!!! BEA CAN’T HAVE ENOUGH LEFT IN HER TO FIGHT AGAIN, AND CANDICE IS LOOKING TO GET SOME PAYBACK AFTER EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENED BETWEEN THESE TWO!
James Peters: CANDICE CONTINUES TO TEAR BEA APART AS BEA IS BACKED INTO THE CORNER, AND NOW CANDICE CONNECTS WITH AN UPPERCUT! Bea stumbles out of the corner, AND NOW CANDICE GOES FOR-
Rich Russillo: BEA DUCKS UNDER CANDICE’S STRIKE!!!! BEA AVOIDED WHATEVER CANDICE HAD PLANNED, AND NOW SHE HITS CANDICE IN THE FACE WITH THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!! BEA JUST DROPPED HER CHALLENGER WITH THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP, AND IS THIS A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME!?
(The boos grow louder, but as ‘Bewitched’ hits, Bea couldn’t care less. She has a grin on her face, and despite her fatigue, she raises up her Specialists Championship. During this, the camera pans over to Harper and ARIA on the ramp. ARIA isn’t too happy that their presence played a part in the ending of that match, meanwhile Harper pushes ARIA away from her, seemingly satisfied with how things turned out.)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) Whatever, she lost anyway. That’s all I cared about.
(Harper begins walking back up the ramp, no longer having a reason to remain in the area. ARIA just shakes her head as she stares at Harper, and at that moment she begins to second guess her decision. From there, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Commercial for Call of Duty: Warzone with Xander Payne.)
(Sunday Night Voltage returns to show the backstage area of the Estadio Mary Terán de Weiss where there is a designated room set up for a sit-down interview, with Backstage Correspondent Sofia Clarke being seen standing by as she adjusts a mic to her collar. She then looks at the camera and from there she begins to speak.)
Sofia Clarke: Welcome back, thank you for joining us tonight for this episode of Sunday Night Voltage! We are just two weeks away from the King of Elite Marquee Event, and the excitement level is at an all-time high. As matches for the show begin to form, so does the well-awaited King of Elite tournament, with the finals having been made official on yesterday’s episode of Saturday Night Showdown! Representing Friday Night Dynasty we have Joso, going up against Showdown’s aforementioned representative PJ Hendrx, and last but not least representing Sunday Night Voltage is our guest here tonight for this exclusive interview. Please join me in welcoming at this time… Alex Myers!
(The camera goes over to show Alex Myers as they make their way into the scene. They take a seat as a stagehand adjusts a mic onto them as they get settled. After some time, Sofia smiles and continues to speak.)
Sofia Clarke: Alex, thank you for taking the time to join us tonight.
Alex Myers: Of course, I’m very excited to be here.
Sofia Clarke: I understand that, being in the finals of the King of Elite tournament might possibly have a hand in that. My first question to you is how does it feel? This must be a massive honor to you.
(Alex thinks for a moment, giving a light smile before looking at Sofia.)
Alex Myers: Of course. It’s a massive honor to be representing Voltage in the King of Elite tournament, and affirmation of what I’ve been able to do as an Elitist these past couple of years. It’s never been the easiest road for me, and I’ve found myself struggling on multiple occasions and being left to question myself and whether or not I have what it takes to take my abilities to the next level. Time after time again the opportunity has presented itself, and each time it has slipped through my fingers for more reasons than one. While I could spend plenty of time speculating why that is the case, all I know now is that being here is the closest that I’ve gotten to my goals in EAW. This match is extremely meaningful to me, as I’ve been trying to get everything on track both for myself and NICHOLISM, and this is my chance to eventually become a World Champion by winning at King of Elite.
Sofia Clarke: Let’s talk about the journey that it’s taken to get there. It definitely has not been easy, especially with the matches that you had to face in the tournament. Some people really wanted the opportunity but ultimately you showed that you wanted it more than them. What was your thought process throughout all of that?
Alex Myers: I’m not going to say that it was a cakewalk at all because if it was I wouldn’t look back at it with much fondness. First round it was Luis De La Rosa, who while I have some choice words for him, given the opportunity knew what he was up against and certainly did try to advance, but he just wasn’t good enough for it. Then, of course, everything that happened which resulted in the cancellation of the second round, leading to the semifinals being a triple threat. It made things a lot harder than I anticipated them to be, especially with the inclusion of Ruler into the mix, and it took me exceeding what I thought was my best, becoming something more, in order to come out on top. Beating Elitists like Michael and Ruler is a result that I would not have any other way, and it told me that I had what it took to not only reach the finals but win the entire tournament. They’re former Champions who have big wins under their belt and they are not competitors to be underestimated at all. Especially with Ruler, I hope that they’re able to reach the platform that they desire to in the near future, but right now what I need to focus on is what is next for Alex Myers and what is in store for me and if everything goes well, it’ll be a match for a World Championship down the line, which is all that I could ever really ask for. The thought of even having that in reach after everything that I had worked for is exhilarating, and all the pain, all the suffering, I am finally shown will all end up being worth it when the time comes. But just because it happens to be the case does not mean that it is going to get easier in any sort of way. Nothing at all is guaranteed and that is a challenge that I am willing to step up to the plate against.
Sofia Clarke: Now let’s take a moment to address the opponents that we mentioned would be facing you in the finals of the tournament. We saw Joso beat Hans Grayson in the main event of Dynasty last week to advance, along with PJ Hendrx getting a win against Jon Kelton yesterday on Showdown to reserve his spot as well. These are two Elitists that I am certain you are very familiar with, what are your thoughts?
Alex Myers: I am very familiar with them, in more ways than one, and I have a lot of history with both of them that deserves to be recognized. It goes without saying the type of Elitists that they are and the impact that they have made in this company, especially in recent memory. Joso is a former Interwire Champion, who before this was coming off of a huge victory against Chris Elite at Road To Redemption. He’s been on a steady rise and I don’t think it comes as much of a surprise that he’s in the position that he’s in. I don’t think it’s something that he’s going to end up taking for granted at all, and he’s going to put his best foot forward this week and put up a fight that’s the most I can say in regard to him. As for PJ, I think it goes without saying the type of tear that he’s been on these past couple of months. He’s really stepped up to the plate and come into his own as a competitor and it’s shown in his work. Final two in the Answers World Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber is not something to look over, especially with the type of competition he was facing. Then of course the journey that he had to take in order to reach the finals of this tournament on the Showdown side of the bracket. I have a mountain of respect for them and know how much of a challenge it’s going to end up being. They’re going to come into King of Elite and they’re going to bring their best, but the problem with that is that I am also going to bring my best. I am going to show that ultimately I want this win more than either of them combined, and I promise that nothing is going to get in the way of me and my journey to becoming the new King of Elite.
Sofia Clarke: Bold words from you toward your opponents. Well, before we close this off, do you have any last thoughts on your opponents?
Alex Myers: All I can say is that I hope they are ready for the challenge. That’s something that should be self-explanatory, but knowing my abilities, this is going to be the fight of their lives and that is something that I am going to make sure of. When I have a goal set in my mind, I am not going to stop until I get there. It does not matter who I face, even if it isn’t Joso or PJ, I make sure that I get there. My World Championship aspirations do not die for anything, and with the opportunity to do just that right in front of me, there is nothing that I wouldn’t do to win the finals of this tournament and call myself the new King of Elite. I know it’s not going to be easy on my end either, as I mentioned, Joso and PJ are decorated opponents who have earned this spot for a reason. It’s just up to me to prove why I’m better.
Sofia Clarke: Alex, once again, thank you for joining us tonight.
Alex Myers: The pleasure is all mine, Sofia.
(Alex stands up from their seat and makes their way out of the scene, leaving Sofia to her lonesome.)
Sofia Clarke: Back to you guys!
(Sofia smiles as Sunday Night Voltage from there begins to fade elsewhere.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, and as the camera pans to the ring, it’s revealed that the ring has been set up for a contract signing. There’s a table in the center of the ring, and a chair on the two opposite sides. On top of the table there is the match contract as well as two pens and two microphones, and James Peters is seen standing in the ring at the end of the table. He is holding a microphone in his hand, and as the fans quiet down he begins to speak.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the contract signing for King of Elite’s UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!
(The fans cheer loudly, and James continues.)
James Peters: Introducing first is the challenger. This is her first time competing for the Universal Women’s Championship, and at King of Elite she has the opportunity to make her first Championship in EAW a World Championship! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome USAGI SENSHI!
(The fans boo extremely loudly, and ‘A Cruel Angel’s Thesis’ by Yoko Takahashi hits. Usagi Senshi begins walking out, and despite the negative reaction growing louder, she has a smirk on her face. She looks proud of what she did last week, and she begins walking down the ramp, completely ignoring the boos from the crowd as she approaches the ring.)
Persephone: Gross. I can’t wait until this is over. The Voltage roster is bad enough as is, we really don’t need Showdown’s Elitists here too.
Rich Russillo: Well whether you like it or not, Usagi will be challenging Minerva for the Universal Women’s Championship at King of Elite. After these last few weeks though, I’m sure you’re not the only one that’s not happy to see Usagi tonight.
(Usagi enters the ring, taking a seat in one of the chairs that have been set. As her music begins to fade out, James Peters once again begins to speak.)
James Peters: And her opponent is none other than the Champion herself, who won the title after successfully cashing in her Iconic Cup and defeating Kassidy Heart at Road to Redemption. She is now heading into her first title defense at King of Elite, where she’ll be taking on Usagi Senshi! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Universal Women’s Champion, MINERVA!
(Extremely loud cheers come from the crowd now, as ‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie hits. Minerva begins to walk out with the Universal Women’s Championship on her shoulder, and as the Champion makes her way out to the stage, she is already staring directly at her challenger. Minerva obviously isn’t happy after having to watch Usagi hurt her friend, and as she walks down the ramp, she doesn’t take her eyes off of Usagi, who remains in her seat waiting for the Champion.)
Rich Russillo: The Champion is here, and honestly I’m not too sure if it was the best idea for a contract signing to be held tonight. After last week, things could escalate very quickly.
Persephone: And? That’d literally be the only interesting thing about this. Why would anyone care about people signing contracts?
(Minerva enters the ring, before taking her seat. As she sits down Usagi picks up one of the microphones, but just as she’s about to speak, Minerva picks up the other microphone, cutting her off.)
Minerva: Before you say anything, I just want to make sure you understand what you did last week. You already messed up when you sent the British Invasion after me, and I made you guys pay for that. You attacked my friend last week. I hope you don’t actually think you’ll get away with that.
(The look on Usagi’s face doesn’t change. Instead, she calmly responds.)
Usagi Senshi: Maybe if you took this a bit more seriously from the start this wouldn’t have happened. You accused me of hiding behind Halsey and Pandora. You refused to treat me like a legitimate threat to your Championship, and you pretended that this would simply be a repeat of our match at Tempest without a care in the world for what I’ve done since that match. I simply went out of my way to prove you wrong, so can you really be mad at me? What happened over these last few weeks is on you Minerva. The attacks from British Invasion, what happened to your friend, all of that happened because you’re too confident in your ability to repeat the events of a year old match. You need to realize that I’m not just a threat to your Championship, I am the woman that’s going to cut your reign short and end your time as Universal Women’s Champion before you even had the chance to get started. At King of Elite that Championship is mine, and I don’t need any more time to think about that.
(The fans begin to boo, meanwhile Usagi grabs the contract before signing it.)
Minerva: You really are obsessed with being taken seriously, aren’t you? That’s just too bad, because I’m not about to play into your games and I’m not going to entertain this joke just so you can feel better about yourself. I don’t care what your reasons were for doing what you did. The fact is that you did them, and that alone is enough for me to make sure you leave King of Elite far worse than you entered. I don’t care how much you’ve “grown” Usagi, and it’s not because I want to play into any of the narratives you think have hurt your career. I don’t care how much you changed because I know that at the end of the day I am still the better competitor in this ring, and I am still more than capable of taking you down. It doesn’t matter whether or not you changed. What matters is whether or not your evolution has turned you into someone capable of beating me, and believe it or not, attacking people who have nothing to do with this isn’t proving anything.
Usagi Senshi: Maybe it isn’t. So what? That doesn’t mean I can’t defeat you. All it means is that I didn’t need to do the things I did over these last few weeks, and personally I’m already past the point of caring whether or not it was necessary. All that matters right now is the Universal Women’s Championship and rising to a spot I belong at, so unless you give me a really good reason to believe I made a mistake, you’re not going to make me feel bad for you. I’m not afraid of you Minerva, and I’m not worried about my chances at King of Elite. This is where I win the first Championship of my EAW career, and if you’re going to let me get in your head like this for the weeks leading up to it, you’ll just be making my job easier.
Minerva: Don’t get ahead of yourself. You’re not the first opponent that’s tried to play mind games with me and you probably won’t even be the last. Don’t think it’s that easy to get inside my head, especially when something as important as this Championship is on the line.
Usagi Senshi: So what happened last week hasn’t stuck with you? I saw the look on your face when you walked out, and I heard what you said. This is obviously personal to you, and I’m taking credit for that. There’s not many people right now who’d be willing to go as far as I have, and that’s exactly why they probably wouldn’t beat you if they were in my position. I took out your friend, and I’ll do far worse if I need to. You said it yourself. That Universal Women’s Championship is important, too important to let anything else get in the way. One way or another I am going to take that Championship from you, and if that means hurting the people you care about, I’m gladly-
Minerva: That’s enough. You already dug your own grave last week. If you want to keep making this worse for yourself you can go right ahead, but as far as I’m concerned the only thing that’ll change is how badly I beat you at King of Elite. You were already in over your head when you challenged me. Now you’re just being reckless, and the worst part of it is the fact that you think you’re a genius. You actually believe that provoking me and trying to bring the worst out of me is the smart thing to do, as if my resume doesn’t already speak for itself. You have countless matches to choose from, Usagi. There are years of proof that when you go low I have no problem going lower, so if getting my hands dirty is necessary to shut you up, I’ll do exactly that. You’re screwing this up for yourself, Usagi. You’re going to get embarrassed at King of Elite. After everything you’ve done, I’m going to make sure Halsey and Pandora don’t even recognize you once I send you back to Showdown.
(The fans cheer, and finally Minerva signs the contract. Usagi Senshi remains silent for a moment as the cheers continue, having lost the smirk that was on her face. However, after a few seconds she once again begins to speak.)
Usagi Senshi: You should be grateful that I stopped at kneeing Contessa in the face. Maybe after King of Elite I can make sure you two end up in the same hospital-
Rich Russillo: USAGI SHOULDN’T HAVE SAID THAT, MINERVA JUST JUMPED OVER THE TABLE AND SLAMMED HER MICROPHONE INTO USAGI’S FACE! MINERVA IS ALL OVER USAGI SENSHI, AND YOU CAN’T SAY USAGI DIDN’T ASK FOR THIS AFTER EVERYTHING SHE’S SAID AND DONE!
Persephone: FINALLY, A FIGHT! Minerva is beating the hell out of Usagi, and Usagi really can’t blame anyone but herself for that. She’s clearly stupid, but it’s giving me some actual entertainment for once so that’s fine with me.
Rich Russillo: USAGI IS TRYING TO CRAWL AWAY, BUT MINERVA GRABS HER AND SENDS HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST! USAGI STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND MINERVA KNEES HER IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE CONTINUING TO POUND AWAY AT THE WOMAN SHE’S FACING AT KING OF ELITE FOR THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP! USAGI CLEARLY CROSSED THE LINE, AND SHE MIGHT JUST REGRET THAT SOON ENOUGH AS MINERVA IS NOT LETTING UP FOR EVEN A SECOND!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA DELIVERS A FEW KNEES TO THE FACE OF USAGI BEFORE PULLING HER IN, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MINERVA’S ABOUT TO SET UP FOR- OH NO! MINERVA LIFTED USAGI UP, PROBABLY FOR HER ATLAS FALLS FINISHING MOVE, BUT USAGI DELIVERED A KNEE TO THE TOP OF MINERVA’S HEAD BEFORE DROPPING BACK DOWN TO HER FEET! MINERVA WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THAT AS USAGI MANAGED TO PULL HERSELF OUT OF HARM’S WAY, AND NOW-
Persephone: :comeagain: Did Usagi just throw something in Minerva’s eyes?
Rich Russillo: SHE DID! USAGI SENSHI JUST THREW SALT IN MINERVA’S EYES, AND MINERVA CAN’T SEE AFTER THAT!!!! MINERVA CAN’T SEE RIGHT NOW, AND USAGI SENSHI IMMEDIATELY CAPITALIZES BY RUNNING IN AND TAKING MINERVA DOWN WITH FATALITY, THE SAME MOVE USAGI USED ON MINERVA’S FRIEND CONTESSA!!!! USAGI SENSHI HAS TAKEN OUT THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION, AND IF USAGI PULLS THIS OFF AT KING OF ELITE, WE MAY JUST HAVE OURSELVES A NEW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!
(The fans are booing extremely loudly as Usagi Senshi stands over Minerva. James Peters slowly exits the ring before rushing back to the commentary table, and as the boos continue, Usagi takes a moment and stares at Minerva, who is unconscious on the mat. Eventually Usagi turns her attention to the fallen Universal Women’s Championship, which she picks up. She looks at the Championship she’ll be fighting for at King of Elite, and as she stands over the Universal Women’s Champion, Usagi raises up the Championship. The boos grow louder, but Usagi has a smirk on her face as the camera fades away from ringside.)
(Promotional ad for King of Elite, where Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro challenge the Jaded Hearts for the Unified Tag Team Championships.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following TAG TEAM CONTEST is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage is still heard blaring throughout the speakers, with Drake King making his way out from the back & standing at the entrance ramp with a confident smirk on his face. Drake extends his arms outward with his grin remaining plastered over his face, the crowd continuing to let their reactions be heard.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Residing from the Dead Sea, Israel; weighing in at 220 pounds… HE IS GOD, DRAAAAAAKE, KING!!!
(Afterward, ‘Stronger (salü remix)’ 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, yet maintains his focused demeanor as the two elitists look ahead to the ring before walking down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: And his partner! From Sea Isle, New Jersey; weighing in at 238 pounds… REXXXXX MCALLISTER!!!
James Peters: Drake along with Rex McAllister have quite the match ahead of them tonight, they will have to work together as a team against a pairing that is in contention for the Unified Tag Team Championships. While in two weeks, the duo tonight will be at war along with Charlie Marr for the EAW World Championship.
Rich Russillo: We know if these two can work together on an even playing field, the challenge ahead for Donovan and Mia will be incredibly tough. Former World Champions that they will be up against in quite the top form ahead of their impending title match, this will be an indicator of how prepared each elitist in this main event truly are.
(‘I Rise’ by Cory Marks blared through the speakers now, as Donovan Duke made his way down the ramp, looking around at the arena. Donovan glances at the crowd with a smile, as he reaffirms the positivity with a nod to the audience. Donovan remains at the entrance ramp as he remains in his proper state of mind.)
Bella Braxton: And introducing her opponent! From Stillwater, Oklahoma; weighing in at 212 pounds… DONOVANNNN DUKE!
(‘21ST CENTURY BITCH’ by Holy Wars can already be heard throughout the arena to a rowdy reaction from the audience, as Mia Santoro makes her way out to the ramp & now accompanied by Donovan Duke. Sporting a confident expression, Mia proceeds to walk down the ramp with her eyes looking outward to the crowd, with a nod from Donovan as reassurance.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent! From Key West, Florida, weighing in at 115 pounds… MIAAAA SANTORO!!!
James Peters: Mia and Donovan have every right to be confident after gaining the upper hand over the Jaded Hearts on the previous Voltage, but they will need to keep this momentum going by defeating two world renowned elitists who have accomplished all there is to achieve. Is tonight the night where they can possibly rack up such a feat?
Rich Russillo: In a business where it’s never say never, I wouldn’t rule that possibility out by any means, but Drake King and Rex McAllister are exactly who they are and have been hailed as for a reason. Santoro & Duke will need to truly bring these two Hall of Famers to their absolute limits if they want to have any opening of victory, especially as the necessary momentum for King of Elite.
Persephone: Another case where I hope both teams lose.
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: And here we go! Our main event of the evening, Drake King & Rex McAllister taking on Donovan Duke & Mia Santoro! Rex & Donovan have chosen to start off this match accordingly, as both men are circling the ring, keeping their movements precise and calculated as they do not want to impose the necessary advantage for either man here. Donovan tries to move in for a swift takedown, but Rex evades Donovan’s sweeps and keeps him at bay. Rex tries to move on for a headlock takedown, but Donovan is just as light on his own feet as he evaded the takedown and remained at bay from the Lionheart! Both men are rather diligent in not giving the other man any legroom to maneuver into a swift hold, but something will have to give here!
Persephone: I hope so, I’m bored out of my mind.
Rich Russillo: Now Rex & Donovan are moving back toward the middle once more, with their arms raised… Rex tries to move toward Donovan but can’t react quite fast enough as Donovan is able to swiftly move behind Rex and impose the waist lock! His hands are interlocked accordingly as the waist lock is able to keep Rex from pursuing the necessary offense he would, and Rex is trying to pry away Donovan by pulling away the hands, but the former National Elite Champion is keeping the lock held! Eventually, Rex does manage to push his own momentum forward, quickly turning himself while grasping Donovan’s hands as it causes Donovan to roll himself across the ring and back up to his feet!
James Peters: A very good maneuver from Rex that causes Donovan to lose his grip and roll accordingly, but Donovan remains fresh as ever as he’s back to his feet. However, Rex also takes this opportunity to employ the advantages that he can while he has them, quickly moving back toward Donovan and delivering a knife edge CHOP right across his chest! Donovan is feeling the effects from the chop is he’s stumbling back into the ropes now, but Rex doesn’t waste another second in keeping Donovan at the ropes, leaned back as he proceeds to deliver another chop with precision!!! Heard all around the audience as Rex has Donovan in quite the difficult spot! Now Rex proceeds to grab a hold of Donovan’s hand and irish whip his opponent toward the opposite side! As soon as Donovan is back around, Rex aims for a clothesline to knock him off his feet!
Rich Russillo: Donovan is able to duck the attempt of the clothesline and halts his own momentum in an instant! The very moment that Rex is able to turn around and face Donovan—he’s met with a DROPKICK from Donovan that sends him stumbling backwards into the corner! Donovan is able to send Rex into the corner of Mia without too much of a problem, as he’s rushing toward him and looking to connect with a running clothesline of his own here!!
(TAG!)
James Peters: Rex is able to duck the clothesline as Donovan isn’t able to connect, but he’s able to stop himself at the nick of time, right as Mia is able to tap Donovan’s shoulder for the tag as well! Now the legal competitor, Donovan quickly turns himself around—BUT QUICK ENOUGH! NECKBREAKER from Rex McAllister causes Donovan to hold onto his neck as Rex reacted quicker than him this time!! Donovan is quickly sliding himself out of the ring as Rex is now moving back up to his own two feet, but perhaps he hasn’t anticipated Mia being the legal competitor as Mia with a DROPKICK of her own sends Rex stumbling through the ropes and out of the ring!!! Mia has quite the advantage that she can take here if she is able to play her cards correctly, we know Santoro is quite the gambler!
Rich Russillo: No doubt in that, but we see Rex able to recover a bit more quickly as he hasn’t been dealt much damage in this match yet. Santoro is now bringing herself outward as she stands on the apron, holding the rope with a hand while Rex is back up to his feet, and now he turns himself toward Mia… AS SHE LAUNCHES OFF THE APRON AND ONTO REX WITH A DIVING METEORA!!! The meteora is successful as Rex has been taken right off his own two feet with his back falling against the cold ringside floor! Mia is using the apron to pull herself back up, after crawling closer to the ring as Rex has begun crawling but is yet to be back to his feet!
Persephone: Amateur hour for Rex I see! :mjgrin:
James Peters: Mia Santoro could keep this momentum going here in quite the grand fashion, but she also needs to remain mindful of the referee and his ten count! Count out may not be ideal here under any circumstance. Mia is now dragging Rex upward to his feet, and she is able to toss her back into the ring as Rex is now crawling around, but Santoro begins to move herself up to the apron as she sees Rex in quite the position that he finds himself in right now. Wait a second, Rich… Drake King seems to be slowly motioning himself toward Mia as they’re situated on the same apron, but Santoro puts her glance directly on Drake at the nick of time!
Rich Russillo: Mia may have increased in-ring awareness as she spots Drake moving toward her, but she is wasting quite the precious seconds that could be taken with dealing more damage to Rex! Now Santoro puts her attention back on Rex quickly while he’s back up on his feet, Santoro quickly enters the ring once and delivers a swift kick right to Rex’s knee, causing his knee to buckle as he drops to one now! Mia now rushes toward the ropes from behind her stance and back toward Rex in the hopes of a swift hurricanrana driver—BUT REX CAUGHT MIA WITH A QUICK POWERBOMB RIGHT ONTO THE MAT!! Santoro aimed for the hurricanrana and couldn’t shift her own weight quickly enough with Rex thinking ahead!!!
James Peters: An immense counter from Rex McAllister as the powerbomb came about at quite the fixed price to be paid for his opponent! Santoro’s laid out as Rex doesn’t waste anymore time to roll Mia over and back onto her knees, as Rex doesn’t waste another second in rushing the ropes while Santoro is vulnerable to more hurt, before rushing back toward Mia and connecting with a HUGE bicycle kick that sends Santoro collapsing backward against the mat!! Rex doesn’t waste time to hook the leg here!!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!!
Persephone: Yeah you better kick out. Don’t allow yourself to be a victim of this clown.
Rich Russillo: Mia is able to remain in this match, but Rex remains very level headed as he looks to continue this world of hurt that has been inflicted upon her so far. Rex works to bring Santoro back up to her feet, and he gets himself situated properly with a hold of her hand, as she’s in quite the bad position here with McAllister looking to hoist Santoro off from the mat and plant her back down with an effective OLYMPIC SLAM for good measure!!!
James Peters: But Santoro squirms free and lands on her feet right behind Rex, as she reacts rather quickly to deliver a superkick right to the back of Rex’s own head!!! Rex stumbles forward and into his own corner, perhaps the increased experience of Rex coming into play tonight as he had the wherewithal to stagger toward his corner, which gives Drake King quite the opportunity here to tag himself in!
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: Now Drake is the legal man for his team as Rex has been sent into the corner, and Mia sees Rex occupied against the turnbuckle as she makes the notion to rush toward Rex and aim for the double knees right onto McAllister’s back—but Drake shoves Rex off of the corner and Mia collides with the turnbuckle knees first as a result!! Quite the quick thinking from Drake King there as Rex is now sliding himself out of the ring, and Santoro is clutching a knee while trying to bring herself back up, not the best motion for her to be making while Drake is still situated on the apron! The very moment that Santoro is up to her feet… SHE’S DROPPED WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE FROM DRAKE KING!! Drake has a grin on his face as he hooks Santoro’s leg without another thought!!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!!!
T—
James Peters: Santoro remains alive! Drake would nod to himself, sporting the confident expression on his face as he doesn’t waste the time to ponder on what’s next. Drake would clutch a hold of Mia’s hair as he drags her over to the corner, and he doesn’t spare his stomps, with every stomp down onto Mia’s chest becoming far more deliberate than the last! The referee is exerting his authority now, as he’s counting down on Drake and potentially aiming for the disqualification victory that wouldn’t serve its purpose as a momentum maintaining move for Drake, but he would move himself away from Mia before the five. The referee continues to scold him, though Drake very much tunes him out as he sets his sights back on Santoro.
Persephone: ‘Least the other dude is gone, can’t stand Drake but I’ll take the lesser of two evils.
Rich Russillo: Now Drake would rush toward the corner and hope to continue this advantage that has kept Mia at bay for quite some time now… but Mia with a sudden boot to the knee causes Drake to buckle and collide head first into the top turnbuckle!!! Drake is clutching his own head as Santoro is eagerly getting herself up, and she sees Donovan with his hand outward as he’s eager to tag himself in! Santoro tries to rush over to Donovan—but Drake isn’t allowing it as he delivers a forearm to the back of Santoro’s head!!! Mia is stunned for the moment as Drake gets her in the vicarious position, hooking her arms from behind and hoisting her up as he aims for the CHICKENWING FACEBUSTER!!
James Peters: BUT MIA SQUIRMS FREE AND TURNS THE FACEBUSTER INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE PIN!!!! DRAKE IS TRYING TO SQUIRM HIMSELF FREE NOW AS THE REFEREE COUNTS!!!!
ONE!!!!
TWO!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE IS ABLE TO DO SO AND KICK OUT!!! Drake works back quickly to his feet, but as does Santoro as she’s springing upward… TO TAG DONOVAN BACK IN!!!
(TAG!)
James Peters: NOW DONOVAN IS BACK! Drake tried to swing but Donovan ducks, and he manages to get his arms latched around Drake behind taking him for a ride with a GERMAN SUPLEX!!! The suplex causes Drake to roll backward and onto his knees as he was dropped on the back of his neck!!! He’s clutching his neck while trying to move upward fairly quickly, but not soon enough as Donovan is able to get his arms around Drake once more in a frontal position, and he has no issue connecting with a BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX that causes Drake to arch his back outward in pain!!! Donovan understands that this will not be enough to keep the multi-time World Champion down, but he has other ideas in mind sprawling around!
Rich Russillo: Donovan looks to keep Drake down for certainty, as Drake’s moving himself back up to his feet while Donovan has Drake exactly where he needs him! Drake is turning toward him, and the Oklahoma Storm looks to put Drake back down with the ‘DEALER’S CHOICE’ SPINNING BACK FIST—BUT DRAKE IS ABLE TO DUCK THE BACK FIST AND NAIL A FOREARM right across Donovan’s jaw!!!! This allows Drake to move Donovan’s positioning more to his benefit now, and he’s hooking his arms as he looks to keep him down with the ‘ASCENSION PEDIGREE’!!
James Peters: BUT DONOVAN DOESN’T ALLOW HIS ARMS TO BE HOOKED FULLY! SQUIRMING FREE FROM DRAKE’S GRASP AND DROPPING DRAKE OVER HIS SHOULDERS! Drake with a hand over his own back as he’s moving back up to his feet however, and this isn’t the greatest spot for Drake here as Donovan’s got Drake right here he could want him with this turn he makes… INTO AN IMMENSE LARIAT FROM DONOVAN!! DONOVAN PULLS DRAKE BACK UPWARD TO HIS FEET AS WELL, NO TIME WASTED… ‘DRAWING DEAD’!!!! MICHINOKU DRIVER IS A SUCCESS, THE COVER IS MADE AS WELL!!
ONE!!!!!
TWO!!!!!
TH—
Rich Russillo: NOPE!! KICKOUT FROM DRAKE!!! Donovan isn’t allowing the frustration to build though, as he’s quickly moving back up to his feet and keeping a hold of Drake’s wrist! He then grabs his leg as well, and he’s pulling him over to the nearest corner while he can! Donovan now moves himself up the turnbuckle, but as he’s climbing, he sees Rex using the ropes to pull himself onto the apron and get back into this match, possibly for a tag! Donovan sees this being a possibility, and he gets himself situated on the same apron as Rex… NAILING A SPINNING HEEL KICK RIGHT ACROSS THE TEMPLE OF REX MCALLISTER!! Now Rex is laid out on the apron, and Donovan is working himself back up the turnbuckle!!! He could be aiming for ‘STACK THE DECK’!
Persephone: Anddd not meant to be, Drake nails a forearm to keep him at bay. Good on keeping Rex down though!
James Peters: Donovan Duke is unable to take advantage while he could, as his focus on Rex allows Drake to turn his negative into the utmost positive. Now Drake is sending ANOTHER forearm right across Donovan’s skull as this keeps Donovan from returning fire! Drake is working himself up to the top now, as he has his feet placed over the middle ropes, but Donovan is sending rights of his own! He’s fighting back here, and Drake is doing the same to keep himself from avoiding disaster as well!!! Drake King is now grabbing a hold of Donovan, with his arm around his neck as he’s looking to deliver the SUPERPLEX—but Donovan is defiant!!! He’s sending the rights across his abdomen and Drake is ultimately forced to let go of the attempt, just before Donovan delivers one more sharp FOREARM across his skull to knock Drake off of the turnbuckle and back to the mat!!!
Rich Russillo: Now Donovan’s got the opportunity here to keep Drake down for good!!! Donovan is fixing his positioning once more, making sure that there is no room for error as he’s in a far better stance than he was before! Donovan is preparing while Santoro is trying to bring herself up to the apron from her corner, Donovan is—WAIT THERE’S DRAKE QUICKLY SPRAWLING UP TO THE TOP WITH DONOVAN AND PUTTING HIM BACK IN POSITION!!! DONOVAN CAN’T REACT QUICK ENOUGH TO COUNTER AGAIN!! REX IS ABLE TO BRING HIMSELF UP TO THE CORNER AS WELL!!
(TAG!)
James Peters: THE SUPERPLEX CONNECTS!!! DONOVAN CRASHES ONTO HIS BACK AS THE SUPERPLEX COULDN’T BE STOPPED, BUT DRAKE IS NOT DONE! Drake is moving himself and Donovan back up to each of their feet as Drake is using his willpower to shift Donovan upward, and not before hoisting him up… AND PLANTING DONOVAN BACK DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH FALCON ARROW!!! THE ONE-TWO COMBINATION IS A SUCCESS!!!
Rich Russillo: AND HERE’S REX MCALLISTER ENTERING BACK INTO THE FRAY AFTER TAPPING DRAKE WHILE HE SWIFTLY MOVED UP FOR THE SUPERPLEX! Rex would quickly grab Donovan’s wrist, and he used all of his strength to pull Donovan upward to his feet and right into Rex’s very arms, before Rex sends Donovan spiraling straight back DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX!!! DRAKE & REX ARE WORKING TOGETHER REMARKABLY WELL AS THE COVER IS MADE!!
ONE!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!
THRE—
James Peters: KICKOUT!!! DONOVAN DUKE SHOWING NO QUIT!!! Rex doesn’t waste another second in moving away from Donovan, and he lays in wait for Donovan to bring himself back up to his feet! McAllister has his opponent in quite the advantageous position here, as Donovan is stumbling up to a better stance for Rex!!! He’s rushing toward Donovan and aims for the ‘REX EFFECT’—SPEAR!!! A SUDDEN SPEAR FROM DONOVAN DUKE BEFORE REX COULD EVEN BRING HIS OWN FEET OFF FROM THE MAT TO INITIATE ANY SECOND OF HIS FINISHING MANEUVER!!! NOW REX IS DOWN AND LAID OUT, AS MIA IS IN HER CORNER AND SEES THAT DONOVAN IS CRAWLING OVER TO THEIR CORNER EAGERLY!!!
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: NOW MIA SANTORO IS THE LEGAL COMPETITOR, AND SHE’S EAGERLY MOVING HER WAY UP TO THE VERY TOP TURNBUCKLE WHILE REX IS DOWN!!! SHE HAS REX LINED UP IN HER SIGHTS AS HE HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ANY OTHER SUDDEN MOVEMENTS, SANTORO TAKES FLIGHT… ‘EYE IN THE SKY’!!!!! SHOOTING STAR PRESS RIGHT ONTO REX MCALLISTER IS SUCCESSFUL!!!!! MIA SANTORO HOOKS THE LEG AS THE REFEREE SLIDES INTO THE COVER!!!! WILL MIA SANTORO PIN THE EAW HALL OF FAMER!!!!
Persephone: GOOD!!!! END HIM!!!
ONEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOO!!!!
THREEEE—
James Peters: NOT QUITE!!! KICKOUT!!!! NOW REX IS CRAWLING, BUT MIA IS TRYING TO KEEP HIM FROM REACHING THE CORNER AS SHE’S DRAGGING HIM UP TO HIS FEET! MIA HAS REX WHERE SHE NEEDS HIM, AND SHE GOES FOR THE GUTWRENCH TO BE LOCKED IN, FOLLOWED BY THE ‘SAFE PASSAGE’—NO!!! REX LANDS ONTO HIS FEET AND NAILS A PELE KICK! MIA IS STAGGERED AS REX QUICKLY CRAWLS TO HIS CORNER AND MAKES THE TAG!
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING IS BACK IN THIS! HE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF SANTORO WHILE SHE’S STAGGERED AND GETS HER IN POSITION, HOOKS HER ARMS… ‘ASCENSION’ PEDIGREE!!! MIA IS DOWN! DRAKE IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AS HE BACKS INTO HIS CORNER, PREPARING FOR THE WORST TO COME… AIMING FOR ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ THE MOMENT MIA IS IN POSITION!
(‘It Ain’t Safe’ by Skepta can be heard as the crowd goes into quite the frenzy of confusion, with Rex & Drake darting their eyes toward the entrance ramp. However, they fixate themselves back onto the match at hand.)
Persephone: Isn’t he not here? Dude’s playing these games without even being here.

DRAKE HAS MIA RIGHT WHERE HE COULD WANT HIM AND—WHAT THE?!?? CHARLIE MARR IS HERE!!!! HE JUST YANKED REX OFF THE APRON!!!!

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, this match has been ruled as a NO CONTEST!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE IS NOW TOSSING DRAKE THROUGH THE ROPES AND ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! CHARLIE SAID HE’D BE TAKING HIS BREAK, BUT NOW WE KNOW THAT WAS A BIG FAT LIE! MARR IS LAYING THE BEATING DOWN UPON DRAKE! DRAKE’S TRYING TO SHIELD HIMSELF FROM THE RIGHTS AS MUCH AS HE CAN!
James Peters: BUT HERE’S REX! REX WITH CLOBBERING STRIKES OVER THE BACK OF CHARLIE’S HEAD AS CHARLIE IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK HERE! MARR IS ABLE TO SHOVE REX OFF, now leaning against the barricade as he has a hand on the back of his own head! And… oh boy…

Charlie Marr: (off-mic) ……Look—
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING & REX MCALLISTER ARE TEAMING UP ON BEATING DOWN THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!! CHARLIE MARR IS BEING MET WITH AN ONSLAUGHT AS BOTH OF THE CONTENDERS FOR HIS CHAMPIONSHIP ARE DELIVERING THE BEATDOWN OF A LIFETIME TO CHARLIE!!! THE CHAMP CAN’T DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST THESE TWO IN UNISON!!
Persephone: Why did he think this was such a brilliant idea? He’s making this loser look good.
James Peters: AND NOW DRAKE HAS A HOLD OF THE BACK OF CHARLIE’S HEAD, AND HE’S RUSHING HIM OVER TO THE BARRICADE, TOSSING HIM DIRECTLY INTO THE BARRICADE AS A RESULT!!! THE CROWD IS ELECTRIC HERE AS CHARLIE ISN’T ALLOWED ANY ROOM TO BREATHE, ‘CAUSE NOW REX IS DRAGGING CHARLIE BACK UP TO HIS FEET… AND HE TOSSES HIM BACK INTO THE BARRICADE AS WELL!!! NOTHING IS STOPPING THESE TWO NOW!!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE & REX ARE CONTINUING TO BEAT DOWN CHARLIE, WORKING TOGETHER IN DOING SO!!! PERSONNEL ARE COMING OUT TO STOP THIS MADNESS AS THE BEATDOWN IS ONLY CONTINUING!!!!
(While the chaos continues to erupt at ringside, Donovan can be seen helping Mia back up to her feet inside the ring. Suddenly, further reaction can be heard from the crowd as now, they weren’t alone.)
James Peters: Wait a second Rich let’s take the screens back on the ring—OH MY GOD!!! JADED HEARTS ARE HERE!!! THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS JUST BLINDSIDED DONOVAN & MIA FROM BEHIND, CAUSING THEM TO FALL OUT OF THE RING AND ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!! THEY SLIDE OUT OF THE RING AND CONTINUE THIS BEATDOWN UPON THEM! THEY DIDN’T FORGET ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK!!
Rich Russillo: AND NOW KASSIDY & SIENNA ARE DRAGGING BOTH COMPETITORS OVER TO THE BARRICADE, AND TOSSING THEM OVER THE BARRICADE! THEY’RE TAKING THIS INTO THE CROWD, WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY PLANNING???
Persephone: Love doesn’t always win!
James Peters: The Jaded Hearts are dragging both Donovan & Mia up the steps, upward a higher elevation of the stands as they surely have sinister intentions in their heads!!! DONOVAN & MIA TRYING TO FIGHT BACK AS THEY ARE THROWING RIGHTS TO THEIR MIDSECTIONS! BUT KASSIDY & SIENNA KEEP THEM SUPPRESSED WITH IMMENSE KNEES TO THEIR ABDOMENS! NOW THEY’RE DRAGGING THEM ALONG THE CROWD, MANEUVERING TOWARD THE EDGE OF THE STANDS AT SUCH A HIGH POSITION FROM FLOOR LEVEL!
Persephone: Oh this is getting fun…
Rich Russillo: AND LOOK! DOWN BELOW, THERE’S A PLETHORA OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND CRATES THAT ARE SITUATED AT THE BOTTOM! THE JADED HEARTS ARE GONNA TRUMP EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE TO THEM THE PREVIOUS VOLTAGE!!! THEY’RE DELIVERING MORE FOREARMS OVER THEIR BACKS TO KEEP THEM FROM FIGHTING BACK!!! THIS IS NOT THE SPOT THEIR CONTENDERS WANT TO BE IN!!!
James Peters: KASSIDY REPEATEDLY KICKS THE RAILING LOOSE, AND ONE MORE KICK CAUSES THE RAILING TO COME OFF FROM THE EDGE OF THE STAND THEY’RE SITUATED IN! THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR DONOVAN AND MIA! THIS IS TWICE THE HEIGHT OF WHERE JADED HEARTS FELL FROM THE MAIN STAGE LAST WEEK!!
(Kassidy & Sienna have Donovan & Mia held where they’re needed, as both glare upon them while preparing for the worst.)
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) No one gets to keep us down!!! Not either of you, not anyone!!!!
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) You both asked for this! We warned you of what was to come, and this is EXACTLY what you fucking deserve!!
Rich Russillo: THE JADED HEARTS ARE READY TO PUT AWAY DONOVAN AND MIA RIGHT HERE BEFORE KING OF ELITE… OH MY GOD.. OH MY GOD!!!! THEY’RE TOSSING THEM OVER THE EDGE AND DOWN BELOW!!!!!!
Kassidy Heart: :roman:
Sienna Jade: :roman:
James Peters: DONOVAN & MIA HOLD ONTO THEIR ARMS WITH WHATEVER ENERGY LEFT WITHIN THEM!!!!! KASSIDY & SIENNA ARE DRAGGED WITH THEM AND DOWN TO THE EQUIPMENT BELOW—

WE THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TONIGHT ON SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE, NOW LET’S GET THEM SOME HELP!!
(Dozens of medical and official personnel swarm toward the location of the fall, as all four elitists can be seen completely motionless. The smoke remains, surrounding the area of the explosion caused by the fall as officials do what they can, with Voltage beginning to fade into black from there.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
