(EAW intro plays.)
(The camera opens up to a recap of last week’s Voltage. The recap would open with the deathmatch between Hikari Kanno and Mary S. Atlas, where Hikari would come out victorious. Afterwards, there’d be a confrontation between the three King of Elite finalists, where at the end of it, Chris Elite would ban Andre Walker and Adam Lucas from ringside for his match. After this Lucas Johnson would cut a promo promising to bounce back, and it’s interrupted by Holly Arrow, who doesn’t take it seriously. Leon Dieter and Kelin would have their match next, and it’d be cut short as they’re attacked by a hooded figure, revealing themselves to be the returning Madison Kaline. Afterwards Ms. Extreme would cut a promo, promising that her Universal Women’s Championship won’t be going anywhere for a long time. Holly Arrow would defeat McCall Everett afterwards, but Lucas Johnson would attack Holly, sending a message to one of his King of Elite opponents. Jay Jerry Johnson would then cut a promo himself before being interrupted by Candice Blair, and when Fitzgerald tries to attack, he’s stopped by Danny Tanner. Danny and Candice send Triple J and Fitzgerald out of the ring, forcing them to retreat. Minerva would defeat Candice afterwards, but Minerva would then be attacked by Jake Smith. Afterwards Donovan Duke has an interview, where he reminds everyone that as the 24/7 Contract holder, no Champion is safe. Next, Miku Sakai would cut a promo after making it to the Empress of Elite finals, where Dr. Bethany Blue would interrupt, leading to a back and forth between the two. Next, Danny Tanner would pick up a big victory over Justin Windgate, and after this Ryan Wilson is seen cutting a promo, saying he’s more than ready for the Unique Opportunity match at King of Elite. Afterwards Myles would cut a promo, and when Drake King interrupts him, he shows a picture of a Google search of Minerva, showing leaked nude photos of her. Myles attacks Drake, but Drake would get the upper hand. In the main event of the night, the Haircare Kings would retain their Unified Tag Team Championships against Shane Gates and Kirk Redwood.)
(The camera immediately fades to the stage, and ‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie hits, causing the crowd to begin cheering loudly. As the cheers continue, both the National Elite Champion Minerva and the EAW World Champion Myles walk out to the stage, both with their Championships, holding microphones in their hands. The two of them look pissed off, and the clear frustration on their faces is justified after what happened last week thanks to Myles’ King of Elite opponent, Drake King. The two Champions slowly make their way down the ramp as the crowd continues to cheer for them.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final Voltage before King of Elite! We have a big show planned for tonight, but first things first, it looks like Minerva and Myles have something to say! I’d say they don’t look happy, but that’d be a severe understatement after what happened last week.
Rich Russillo: That’s right. I almost don’t even want to recap what happened between Myles and Drake last week. It was uncalled for, but I have to say I’m looking forward to this show. I’m sure this is going to be good, and we have some great matches lined up.
Persephone: 🙄🙄🙄 I really don’t have any interest in anything happening tonight. Hopefully none of the matches last too long, although at this point I shouldn’t even get my hopes up.
(Minerva and Myles enter the ring as the crowd continues to cheer, and Minerva is quick to speak.)
Minerva: I wasted an entire fucking year of my career trusting Drake King. I did everything he wanted, everything that was asked of me, everything that’d “help New Eden succeed”, when I knew that I was capable of so much more. I put New Eden before myself for an entire year, and how am I repaid? How am I repaid for sacrificing my own career so I could give Drake King whatever he wants? How am I repaid for doing what I could to make sure Drake didn’t lose that EAW Championship? I’m humiliated, I’m embarrassed, and I’m stabbed in the back. I thought it couldn’t get any worse. I thought that Drake made the biggest mistake of his life when he attacked me at Road to Redemption and threw New Eden away. I thought that Drake screwed up just a month ago when he betrayed me, but last week is when he proved that he’s the biggest piece of shit this company has to offer. I didn’t listen when everyone said that Drake hadn’t changed and that he’d inevitably turn his back on us because I actually believed in New Eden. I believed in Drake’s stupid vision. I actually was convinced that we were helping this place, and I didn’t think that all of this would end with Drake INVADING MY PRIVACY AND SHOWING THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD PICTURES THAT AREN’T MEANT TO BE OUT THERE! I DIDN’T KNOW THAT HELPING NEW EDEN AND DOING WHAT WAS BEST FOR US WOULD LEAD TO DRAKE SHOWING OFF THE PICTURES JESSE BARLOW LEAKED!
(Minerva takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down as Myles begins to speak.)
Myles: I don’t think Drake realizes just how stupid following in Jesse Barlow’s footsteps is. I’m the reason that man isn’t even in the company anymore. He thought it’d be smart to try and make things personal, to try and cross the line, to try and take things to a level he never should have, and I ended his fucking career. I made sure that he never stepped foot in this company again, and THAT’S who Drake decides to follow? It can’t be stressed enough just how badly Drake fucked up last week, because now we’re only a week away from King of Elite. Now we’re only a week away from Drake finally having to face the consequences of HIS actions. Drake has always blamed everyone else, has always said “it’s not my fault”, but at King of Elite he won’t be able to do any of that. I won’t be hearing any of it, because at King of Elite I’m not leaving until Drake’s nothing more than a broken fucking mess left in the middle of the ring. I’m not leaving until I get to give Drake what he deserves for everything he’s done to us, the only two people that’d even give him the time of day after he came back at Bloodsport way over a year ago.
Myles: Those pictures never should’ve been out there in the first place, but Drake King is the LAST person I’d expect to go that far. He’s done shitty things. He’s been doing shitty things for his entire career, but that’s not something I ever expected to see from him. It’s unbelievable, and the fact that Drake would do all of this to try and prove a point, to try and “get back at us” for HELPING him, it’s genuinely insane. Drake doesn’t know what he’s doing. He doesn’t know what he started last week, and he’s wrong if he thinks he’s just going to get away with all of that.
Minerva: I made a mistake ever trusting someone like Drake King, but that’s fine. I told Drake that as long as the two of us are in this company he is not safe from me, and that still stands. At King of Elite Myles is going to beat Drake King and that’s fine. That’s great, but I’m not letting it end there. I’m not letting Drake get away with humiliating me week after week. I’m one of the most dangerous people in this entire industry, and Drake knows that. Drake knows exactly what I am capable of, so for his sake I hope he realizes that this isn’t a fucking joke to me. This entire situation has taken on an entirely new meaning once Drake did what he did last week, and the last thing Drake ever should have done was make things this personal. Drake is going to suffer. Drake’s life is going to become a living Hell, all because he didn’t realize what he had. He didn’t realize just how much New Eden really did for him. Drake is digging his own grave, and if he didn’t already realize that, he will very soon-
(‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti hits, and the crowd immediately begins cheering as both Minerva and Myles look over to the stage. Neither of them look too glad to be interrupted like this, meanwhile Jake Smith begins walking out to the stage with his half of the Unified Tag Team Championships around his waist. Jake begins walking down the ramp, as neither Minerva nor Myles look very amused.)
James Peters: Jake Smith is here, but I’ll be honest. I don’t know if this was the best time for him to come out here. :lupe:
Rich Russillo: Yeah, but it’s Jake Smith we’re talking about. If Jake has something to say he’s going to say it, and I don’t think he cares whether or not his King of Elite opponent likes that.
(As Jake enters the ring, it’s apparent that he doesn’t actually have a smile or a grin on his face, instead having a more sympathetic look on his face as he walks up to Minerva and Myles.)
Jake Smith: Look, Minerva I know I’m probably the last person you want to see right now, but I just wanted to say that I get it. What Drake did last week was fucked up, it was unexpected, and it was uncalled for. There’s not enough words to described just how horrible Drake’s actions were, and even if the two of us have never exactly gotten along, I can’t begin to imagine how you feel right now. King of Elite is in a week, and trust me I plan to take that National Elite Championship out of your hands, but until then I do want you to know that I genuinely feel bad for you, and that you didn’t deserve having those pics leaked like that. It-
Minerva: I can’t even take this shit seriously from you. You’re the same man that made a mockery of two women and forced them to mud wrestle just for your affection.
Jake Smith: :whoa: :whoa: That was in the past. It was two years ago, and a lot has happened since then. Sure I’ve made some mistakes of my own and did a few things I’m not exactly proud of, but I’m a changed man now. :wow:
(Minerva looks more and more annoyed by Jake’s appearance. She was already fed up thanks to Drake King’s actions and has been on edge since then, and she isn’t taking too kindly to her King of Elite challenger showing up like this.)
Minerva: Really Jake? Are you going to forget just how many women you’ve mistreated in your career. Alexis Chambers and Dr. Bethany Blue weren’t the only ones. Don’t forget about Sierra, who you treated so badly that you sent her right into Drake’s disgusting arms. You’ve been a cancer to every single woman you’ve come in contact with, and because of that.. Well we all saw just how much Drake humiliated Sierra.
Jake Smith: :francis: Weren’t *you* the one pushing him into Camille’s arms?
Minerva: Jake if this is what you walked out here for then you should really just walk back up that ramp and get the fuck out of here. You’re the LAST person who needs to be out here right now. I don’t need your fucking sympathy, not when you’ve spent your entire career mistreating women and proving that you don’t give a damn about stuff like that. I don’t know what’s running through your mind or what told you that you needed to show up right now, but I don’t need your support. I don’t want your support. I didn’t forget about your actions last week, and just like Drake, I’m going to make sure that you don’t get away with ANY of it. All I want is for you to get out of here, and for the next time I see your face to be at King of Elite when I kick your ass and send you right to the back of the line. Drake’s going to get what’s coming to him, but that’s between me, Myles, and Drake. It has nothing to do with you, and for your own sake, you need to mind your business and avoid getting yourself into even more trouble.
(Jake stops for a moment, clearly seeing just how mad Minerva is after everything she’d been through these past weeks. He takes a moment and lets Minerva’s words settle in, before going to speak once again.)
Jake Smith: I-
James Peters: MINERVA JUST SLAMMED HER MICROPHONE INTO JAKE’S FACE! MINERVA JUST DROPPED JAKE WITH HER MICROPHONE, AND NOW SHE’S TAKING OUT ALL THE ANGER THAT’S BEEN BUILDING UP OVER THE PAST MONTH! FIRST IT WAS DRAKE KING AND NOW IT’S JAKE SMITH, AND UNFORTUNATELY IT LOOKS LIKE JAKE SMITH MIGHT BE PAYING THE PRICE FOR COMING OUT HERE TONIGHT!
Rich Russillo: Minerva is on top of Jake and she’s just punching away at her King of Elite challenger! I don’t blame Minerva at all for being this upset, not after what she’s been through!
Persephone: :yikes: I think she just broke his nose or something. He’s covering it with his hand, but I can see the blood pouring out.
Rich Russillo: Jake is trying to cover himself up, but there was no way that he was just going to expect Minerva to attack him like that all of a sudden! This is a month full of anger being released on Jake Smith as Minerva continues punching away, trying to make his face look even worse as Jake might end up getting himself injured before King of Elite!
James Peters: Jake manages to push Minerva off of him before trying to get into the corner, but Minerva begins stomping away at Jake! Jake’s pretty much defenseless, as he didn’t expect such a brutal assault from Minerva! I don’t know what to say though, he should’ve known that Minerva was already on edge! This was bound to happen after she was already betrayed, already exposed to the entire world, all while having to focus on King of Elite!
Rich Russillo: Let’s not forget about Jake’s attack last week, either! Minerva is all over Jake right now, and Jake’s nose is definitely broken, he looks like a mess!
Persephone: Well yeah, Minerva’s stomping the shit out of him, and honestly I have to say he had this coming to him. He wasted my time, it’s the least he deserves.
(Minerva gets Jake out of the corner, but after seeing that Jake is already down and out, Myles begins to pull Minerva away from him, knowing that Jake had enough.)
James Peters: Jake is a mess right now, and I don’t think this is how he wanted his night to go, but I guess in one week we’ll see-
(Suddenly, the crowd begins booing extremely loudly.)
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING JUST CAME FROM THE CROWD! DRAKE JUST RAN INSIDE OF THE RING AND ATTACKED MYLES FROM BEHIND! DRAKE KING IS ATTACKING MYLES, AND WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN DRAKE WOULD MAKE HIS PRESENCE KNOWN ONCE HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY! DRAKE JUST CAUGHT MYLES BY SURPRISE, AND NOW HE’S THE ONE GETTING THE UPPER HAND AS HE CONTINUES THIS ATTACK! NEITHER MYLES NOR MINERVA EXPECTED DRAKE TO COME FROM BEHIND, AND I THINK MINERVA IS JUST REALIZING WHAT HAPPENED! Drake King is all over Myles right now, and this isn’t good for the EAW World Champion!
James Peters: MYLES LANDS A BACK ELBOW TO DRAKE, AND NOW THE TWO KING OF ELITE OPPONENTS ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH, FIGHTING JUST ONE WEEK AWAY FROM THE EVENT WHERE THEY’ll BE FIGHTING FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! DRAKE KING AND MYLES ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH, BUT MYLES MANAGES TO LAND A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! Drake hits Myles with an elbow though, and now Myles hits one in return! Both Drake and Myles are going back and forth, and I’d say it hurts to see how things fell apart between New Eden, but after all that they’ve done last year? The only people I feel sorry for are Myles and Minerva, who’s had to deal with those personal photos once again being brought to light!
(Minerva picks up her National Elite Championship, and as she does this, the camera shows her hand covered in blood. It’s Jake’s blood, which got there after she broke his nose during her attack.)
Rich Russillo: WAIT, MYLES GETS THE UPPER HAND ON DRAKE! MYLES HAS DRAKE IN THE CORNER, AND NOW HE’S BEGINNING TO DELIVER PUNCHES OF HIS OWN TO HIS CHALLENGER AT KING OF ELITE! MYLES BEGINNING TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF HIS FORMER NEW EDEN PARTNER, AND WE ALL KNOW JUST HOW MUCH DRAKE DESERVES THIS AFTER WHAT HAPPENED JUST ONE WEEK AGO!
(Myles grabs onto Drake, sending him out of the corner.)
James Peters: MINERVA JUST HIT DRAKE KING WITH THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP! MYLES JUST GRABBED DRAKE AND SENT HIM RIGHT INTO THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!!
(Minerva picks back up her microphone, still with Jake’s blood running down her arm, before approaching Drake King, who’s holding his head after being sent into the National Elite Championship.)
Minerva: Your date with the devil herself is soon.
(Minerva spits on Drake before dropping her microphone, and she takes her National Elite Championship before exiting the ring, stepping on Jake as she makes her way out. Myles lingers for a bit, looking down at Drake in disgust. Finally, Myles picks his Championship up before making his way out of the ring as ‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ begins to play once again.)
James Peters: Drake and Jake were just taken out by their respective King of Elite opponents, and I just have to say, King of Elite is going to be one hell of a show.
Persephone: Ehhhh. I don’t know about that. Rexy’s not on the card so it can’t be THAT good.
Rich Russillo: Either way, I’m definitely looking forward to these two matches. Jake and Drake were both taken out tonight, will we be seeing the same thing in one week’s time?
(As Myles and Minerva make their way up the ramp, Jake Smith is seen holding his nose, trying to recover from Minerva’s attack inside of the ring. Drake King is also down inside of the ring, and he looks pissed as he looks over at Myles and Minerva from inside of the ring. As the camera cuts back to Myles and Minerva walking back up the ramp together, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(The Camera cuts backstage to Sofia Clarke who has a microphone in hand.)
Sofia Clarke: Thank you guys! The action is going to be hot and heavy on the last Voltage before the King of Elite event. Now before we head back to ringside for our first match of the evening, allow me to welcome two men who had the opportunity to become the Unified Tag Team Champions last week. They are Shane Gates and Kirk Redwood.
(Shane comes into view first with Kirk following close behind. In the background, you can faintly hear the boos coming from the crowd. Kirk is shown taking a swig from his beer bottle as Shane looks back and rolls his eyes before he returns his attention to Sofia, who is ready to ask her first question.)
Sofia Clarke: Thank you guys for taking a moment to talk with me.
Shane Gates: Yeah, yeah. It’s such a thrill to be here.
(Sofia wants to roll her eyes at the sarcasm, but she keeps her composure because she was expecting this type of attitude from Shane and Kirk.)
Sofia Clarke: Kirk. Shane. Last week on Voltage, you guys had an amazing opportunity to become the Unified Tag Team Champions in the main event. You two put up an amazing fight and gave the Haircare Kings a run for their money. Unfortunately, it was the team of Chris Elite and Jake Smith who managed to keep the titles in their possession. My first question is how are you guys feeling after the match last week?
(Shane takes a moment to get his thoughts together. He thinks that it should be obvious how they feel, so why in the hell is she asking that question? Either way, he takes a breath before answering the question.)
Shane Gates: What is there to say? I mean isn’t it obvious how we feel? You don’t see the Tag Team Titles around either of our waists, do you? Of course not, since we left last week empty handed. To say the very least, I am frustrated. No, I am more than just frustrated. I am flat out fucking pissed off.
Kirk Redwood: That’s right! He is not the only one who is frustrated beyond belief. That was utter bullshit. Those titles should be ours! You see me and this guy? We hated each other. I mean we REALLY hated each other…. Hold on a second. Throat’s a little dry.
(Kirk downs the rest of his beer and pulls out another from somewhere and pops off the bottle cap before taking a swig from the new bottle before continuing with what he had to say.)
Kirk Redwood: Shit, there are still days where we really don’t like to look at each other’s faces. Yet, with all that hate and disdain we had for each other, we were able to make it work and become number one contenders for the Tag Team Titles so easily. They recognized very quickly that we were dangerous apart. Now that we’re together as a team, we’re an even bigger force around here. It also helps that we put a hurtin’ on that Lucas Johnson and Mary S. Atlas to prove our point.
Shane Gates: It really fucking sucks and really pisses me off that I…. Ok, we missed out on another championship opportunity and went home with no gold around our waists. We earned, NO, we DESERVED to win those titles after the crap that we went through to get that title shot.
Sofia Clarke: “Crap”? Would you be able to elaborate on what you mean by crap you had to go through to get your Tag Title opportunity?
Kirk Redwood: I think he means the fact that neither of us wanted to be a team in the first place. We both wanted opportunities as solo competitors, but it was Captain Charisma who did all this.
Shane Gates: That’s right. Neither of us asked to be a tag team in the first place. It was all Captain Charisma’s idea for this little arrangement for us. Instead of giving us separate chances at success, he said that the choice was either to become a tag team or get nothing. I personally didn’t like either choice, but when it’s a chance at a title shot or nothing, the choice becomes easier to make.
Kirk Redwood: We didn’t like each other. Hell, most days we still don’t, but we have managed to put whatever differences we had aside. We did that all for the chance at getting exactly what we wanted.
Shane Gates: Yet, did we get what we want? No. The thought of seeing the midget and the bald guy holding those tag titles is absolutely sickening. I would absolutely love to get another chance at choking their dumbasses out and putting them in immense pain.
Kirk Redwood: Causing pain and taking their titles? Fists in people’s faces and kicking their asses from one side of the ring to the next. Sounds like fun to me.
Sofia Clarke: I can understand where you are coming from. My next question is that even though you guys didn’t win the Tag Team Titles on your first go around, what’s next for the new team of Kirk Redwood and Shane Gates?
Shane Gates: You’re curious as to what’s next for this tag team? Let me put it to you this way. Even though I think the guy next to me is a drunken jailbird lush….
(That comment catches Kirk off guard as he stops drinking his second bottle of beer to comment on what Shane said.)
Kirk Redwood: That was uncalled for. Save the aggression for the rest of these losers around here.
Shane Gates: Eh. Good point, ya drunk. It’s much more fun to beat the shit out of all these dumb fucks around here.
(Kirk shrugs and goes back to his beer bottle before chugging it and tossing the bottle over his shoulder. A faint sound of glass breaking can be heard in the background. Shane mouths some words to himself before continuing to answer the question.)
Shane Gates: As I was saying. This guy isn’t exactly who I wanted to spend any fucking time with, but we have already shown that whatever chemistry that is going on between us must be working in some way because we’ve won together as a team.
Kirk Redwood: Can’t deny that. This guy might be an asshole. Actually, he is an asshole. But there’s some magic that is making this work. This is only the beginning for this duo. We are a force to be reckoned with. Even if it means staying as a team and working together a little longer, we will stop at absolutely nothing and I mean NOTHING to finally get the success that we both have been looking for. That means getting back to being the number one contenders by any means necessary.
Shane Gates: To put it simply, until me and Kirk get exactly what we want, and that is beating that jackoff tag team for their gold and wearing those championships around our waists where they BELONG! The two of us are going absolutely NOWHERE! Consider that a warning to any tag team who wants to step in between us and the Tag Team Titles. Prevent us from getting what we want and prepare to be put six feet under. The EAW Unified Tag Team Titles belong around the waists of a team who can be seriously taken as a threat and that’s US!
Kirk Redwood: You got that right! Now you’re speaking my language, guy. That is something that I can most definitely drink to! Who is with me? Sofia, care for a brewski to celebrate our soon to be dominance in the tag team division?
Sofia Clarke: Thanks, but no thank you. Now it seems like you’ve both made your choices about your status as a tag team for the time being. I guess everything you’ve said can be considered a warning for the tag team division and the Tag Team Champs. Shane. Kirk. Once again thank you for your time and good luck as a tag team.
(Shane gives Sofia a look before walking away. Kirk quickly follows drinking another beer. Where he got it, we don’t know. Sofia wonders the same thing as he confusingly watches Kirk walk away.)
Sofia Clarke: That guys smells like a brewery, but some questions are better left unasked, I guess. But there you have it, folks. Two men who could be considered the least likely to team up are becoming one of the most interesting teams in Elite Answers Wrestling and it looks like they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Will we see a rematch between Gates and Redwood vs. The Haircare Kings in the future? Only time will tell. Now let’s get back to ringside for our first match of the evening.
(Sofia gives a big smile to the camera before the camera shot fades out.)
(Voltage fades from the backstage area and cuts to ringside for the first match of the night! Bella Braxton is standing in the center of the ring with the microphone in her hand. To her left, is one of the competitors for the opening bout, Leon Dieter.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…. THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Bella Braxton: ALREADY IN THE RING.. FROM DRESDEN, GERMANY… WEIGHING IN AT 213 POUNDS… HE IS LEON DIETER!!!
(Dieter remains focused in his corner, but the audience does give him a small, but polite round of applause.)
James Peters: Tonight marks Leon’s third match on Voltage, and he is looking to pick up his first win. A couple of weeks ago, he lost to Dynasty’s Bryant Coffey, in a battle of the debutants. I’m sure Leon expected to have at least one win under his belt by now, but things just haven’t gone his way.
Rich Russillo: The icing on the cake for Leon was having his match disrupted by the returning Madison Kaline last week. Along with Kelin, Leon found himself mercilessly beaten with a steel chair before being put down for good with a ‘Clothesline from Hell’. He looks to hopefully rebound here tonight.
(Persephone can be heard laughing into her headset over the thought of Leon Dieter getting a win tonight.)
(“Nothing Helps” by ONE OK ROCK begins to blast across the PA system and the audience reacts with an overwhelming positive reaction for Leon’s opponent.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT… FROM ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI… WEIGHING IN AT 125 POUNDS… SHE IS “MOST WANTED” MARY S. ATLAS!!!!
(Mary steps onto the stage, still a little bruised and bandaged up from last week’s war against Hikari, but all in all, she has a focused look on her face.)
Persephone: What are the odds Mary tries to set Leon Dieter on fire tonight? I truly believe with my whole heart that’s going to be the only way to make this match even remotely interesting. We have two career losers fighting to see who sucks the least.
James Peters: I think that’s a bit harsh, as Mary has proven herself to be one of the toughest Elitists around. Last week, she went to war with Hikari Kanno in a brutal deathmatch that she’s still sporting some injuries from. I don’t know how that will impact her performance here tonight, but Mary is definitely looking to get some momentum on her side tonight as she heads towards TLC Chaos and those ‘Unique Opportunity’ briefcases at King of Elite.
(Mary has gotten into the ring and after taking a few seconds to acknowledge the fans and get herself set, she signals to the referee that she is ready to start the match. Leon Dieter is also ready to go, and the referee calls for the bell.)
Rich Russillo: And here we go! Leon charges at Mary, looking for a collar and elbow tie-up, but Mary cuts him off with a nice knee to the gut and backs him up into the corner! She unloads a flurry of forearm shots followed up by several nasty looking chest chops, and now she’s stomping an absolute mudhole in Leon! She forces him down into a sitting position and her knee connects right with Leon’s face! Wow! That was a hell of an opening sequence from Mary!
James Peters: She doesn’t look to stop either! She has Leon by the hair and she drags him out of the corner! Leon catches her in the stomach with a couple of nice looking right hands, but once again, Mary drives her knee into his face! Leon’s head snaps back and Mary whips him into the ropes! Leon manages to duck the clothesline but Mary with the takedown as she catches Leon on the rebound! That was a nice dropkick by Mary, and she puts the boots to the German. I’m not sure if Leon didn’t do his homework on Mary, or if he just never could have anticipated that a woman who competed in a deathmatch just seven days ago would come out on absolute fire.
Persephone: Sigh. She is not on fire and there’s no sense in falsely advertising something that would actually be worth watching, Jim. You really suck sometimes, you know.
James Peters: :wtf:
Rich Russillo: Mary grabs Leon by the hair and helps him up, nailing him in the face with several right hands. Once again, Leon finds himself forced into the corner and this time Mary looks to sever his head with a running corner clothesline!
Persephone: Welp. That didn’t really work out for her.
James Peters: Nope! Leon got the feet up! He pushes himself out of the corner and manages to get Mary down with a clothesline! He looks to follow up with a leg drop, but Mary rolls out of the way! Leon grabs the back of his thigh and Mary absolutely stiffs him with a kick! She is targeting the leg now and she quickly goes for a figure four! Leon is able to boot her back, but Mary runs the ropes and comes back with a basement style dropkick! Leon is down and Mary with the first over of the match!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: Leon pops the shoulder up!
Persephone: Of course he did because the world fucking hates me and this shit is gunna drag on forever.
James Peters: Mary rolls on top of Leon and starts beating the hell out of him. She’s not holding anything back! This crowd is pro-Mary tonight and they are going crazy as she beats the shit out of Leon! Leon tries to cover up, but Mary wraps her arms around his neck and begins to choke him! Mary is choking Leon and she lifts his head up and slams the back of his skull into the mat! She does this several more times before the referee has no choice but to get involved. He has to physically pull Mary off of Leon, and she is livid that he would get involved! Mary absolutely does not want to get disqualified, especially when she has absolutely dominated this match.
Persephone: It would serve her right for allowing Leon to get his shoulder off the mat. I don’t like it when people prolong my suffering.
Rich Russillo: Mary has shoved the referee away from her and she nails Leon in the face with a big boot! Leon was attempting to set up, but Mary just put him back down. Mary is stomping away on Leon now, and guys, he really has no answer for ‘Most Wanted’ tonight. Since the opening bell of this match, Mary has been dominant. Leon rolls towards the apron of the ring out of sheer desperation, but Mary snatches him by the ankle! She drags him to the center of the ring and there’s an ankle lock! Mary is going for the submission victory!
Persephone: I HOPE and pray to GAWD that this fucker taps out.
James Peters: I don’t think Leon Dieter wants to tap out, Seph. He’s winless here on Voltage but a win over Mary S. Atlas could get him in the conversation for the TLC Chaos match!
Persephone: :mjlol2: You don’t have to say wild shit just to try and come off as unbiased, Jim. ALL of us know that Leon has no fucking chance at winning this match.
Rich Russillo: To his credit, Leon is hanging on. Mary is screaming at him to give it up, but he’s not about the quit life :wow:! Leon is digging in and forcing himself ever so closer to the ropes. If he could get this break, that would be huge! It could really turn the tides of this match, and let’s face it. Leon desperately needs some momentum right now.
Persephone: Y’all seriously gotta stop wanting this shit to drag.
James Peters: :wow: Well, that might just happen! Leon is just inches from the ropes and he is reaching… HE DID IT! Leon got his fingertips around the ropes and Mary is pissed! She snatches his ankle to the side and slams it down into the mat! Leon is in a ton of pain right now and Mary with those vicious stomps! Leon uses the ropes to pull himself out of the ring and he falls to the ground. He’s grabbing at his ankle! :lupe: I really believe Mary was trying to break his ankle.
Persephone: I literally see nothing wrong with breaking someone’s ankle.
Rich Russillo: We stan a bloodthirsty queen :wow:
James Peters: The referee tried to keep Mary at bay, but to no one’s surprise, she’s down on the outside. Mary takes her time heading towards Leon, who has crawl towards the ring steps. He’s bracing himself and trying to stand, but it’s obvious he’s not trying to put too much weight on the ankle. Mary sizes him up and she takes off running! MARY WITH A RUNNING, JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! LEON DIETER USED WHATEVER HE HAD LEFT AND JUST KNOCKED MARY OUT OF THE AIR WITH A SUPERKICK! For the first time all match, Leon got some offense in!
Persephone: Offense? That was definitely defense. She was about to end him for good.
James Peters: Leon drags himself up and grabs Mary by the hair! He tries to slam her face into the ring apron, but Mary is able to block, and she hits Leon in the stomach with an elbow! He is forced to relinquish his hold on Mary and she follows up with two more elbows to the gut and an uppercut that snaps Leon’s head back!
Rich Russillo: :damn: ‘CUTTER CULTURE’!! Mary just absolutely destroyed Leon Dieter with a standing version of the RKO into the steel ring steps! He might be busted open guys.
Persephone: :wow: Just when he was starting to mount a comeback huh. Sadly he doesn’t appear to be bleeding though. You need glasses, Dick.
Rich Russillo: Dick? :wtf:
Persephone: Isn’t that like a shortened version of Richard? Dick, Jim, and Seph :wow:
James Peters: Mary is trying to get his dead weight back into the ring and pin him. Surely he’s done for and there’s no way he is going to be able to kick out.
Rich Russillo: I guess we are about to find out because Mary has rolled Leon into the ring. Leon is bleeding from the forehead but he doesn’t appear to be completely unconscious. He’s trying to sit up but Mary hits him in the back of the head with a stiff looking kick. She’s electing not to pin him here and helps Leon up. Mary with several forearms to the face and she sends Leon into the corner via an Irish whip!
Persephone: A running corner clothesline further punishes Leon and Mary with kicks to the midsection that force Leon down into a sitting position. A sly little smile crosses the face of Mary and oh, there it is. Just a little humiliation to go along with the absolute beating Leon has taken tonight.
Rich Russillo: I’m sure there are quite a few guys out there who would like to be on the receiving end of a stink face from Mary though.
Persephone: Okay, Gavin.
James Peters: I mean, he’s not wrong.
Persephone: Fucking weirdos.
James Peters: Mary is all smiles as she drags Leon from the corner and brings him to the mat with a beautiful German suplex! The back of Leon’s head smashed into the mat and now Mary is calling for the finish! Mary heads to the top rope and this sold-out crowd are egging her on. They are solidly behind Mary and encouraging her finally put Leon Dieter out of his misery!
Rich Russillo: Mary gets herself set on the top rope and there she goes! ‘MACHO MADNESS’!!! MARY S. ATLAS WITH A PICTURE PERFECT FLYING ELBOW DROP THAT DRIVES ALL THE WIND OUT OF LEON DIETER’S CHEST!!! She makes sure to hook the leg as she goes for the cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….. MARRRYYYYYY S. AAATTTTTTLLAAS!!!!!!!
James Peters: And that’s it! Mary S. Atlas picks up the victory, picking up some momentum heading into King of Elite, where she competes in the Unique Opportunity match!
Rich Russillo: Leon Dieter tried, but in the end he wasn’t able to leave this match with the win! Congratulations to Mary S. Atlas!
Persephone: Thank God that’s over.
(“Nothing Helps” hits, and the crowd begins cheering loudly as Mary S. Atlas gets back up to her feet. Mary has her hand raised by the referee as Leon rolls out of the ring to recover. Mary continues to celebrate her victory just one week before King of Elite. The camera takes a final shot of Mary celebrating her impressive victory before beginning to fade away from ringside.)
(Commercial break for Borden brand strawberry milk. If you’re lactose intolerant, there are few things in life worth dying over. Strawberry milk is one of them.)
(Voltage fades back to the commentary table, showing James Peters, Rich Russillo and Persephone.)
James Peters: Welcome back to Sunday Night Voltage. King of Elite is just a week away, and with that we want to dive deeper into the Main Event of King of Elite, the King of Elite match itself! Friday Night Dynasty’s Stew-O has made a nice video package for us. Even though he’s from disgusting Dynasty, I’m sure he knocked this out of the park. Let’s take a peek into the final three participants who lasted every other competitor to get to this point. Adam Lucas, Andre Walker, and of course our representation for Voltage, Chris Elite!
Rich Russillo: Obviously we are pulling for our own representative Chris Elite here, but it’s nice to see the mindset of all three Elitists going into this big match.
Persephone: I don’t give a fuck either way! Just play the shit so I can move on with my life!
James Peters: I’m sure everyone is just excited as us to see the final conclusion to this saga that has transpired over the past month. So without further adieu take it away Stew-O!
Persephone: It’s pre recorded dumbass he can’t hear you…
(The video package rolls, as we see the final 3 Elitists fade onto an off of the screen. First is Adam Lucas, next Andre Walker, and finally Chris Elite. The camera fades back to Adam Lucas who speaks)
Adam Lucas: “I’m just as confident in myself when it comes to knowing that I’m ready for that ‘Next Level’ and becoming King only helps to prove what I already know is true and I’m more than willing to put in the work to make it happen”.
(The camera fades to Andre Walker)
Andre Walker: “King of Elite isn’t some be-all end-all, but I know winning and taking that spot at the top is something only just mere fingertips away with what I can bring to this and turn this match into on my talent and work alone. I know my presence is only adding right onto this big fight feel and that tells me all I need to know about what other people think no matter what’s happened before, and I know that I’ve got what it takes to succeed over each of you.”
(The camera fades to Chris Elite)
Chris Elite: “ King of Elite is something I’ve wanted for a LONG time and if I’m being honest with myself here this is probably my last chance and I’m not going to let it slip through my fingers just to “Put the younger talent over” I’m not here to pass the torch to anyone I’m here to take the shit. I’m here to take the crown and be the King that we might not want but the one we possibly need. I mean let’s be with ourselves here, Gawd contract plus being King of Elite? I’d be like Thanos when he got all the stones.”
(The camera transitions to a dark room with smoke filling the air, as all three competitors walk up face to face with each other with a tense thickness to the air)
Stew-O: King of Elite, one of the most prestigious honors in all of EAW. A yearly tournament to decide who is king of the elite. 24 Men started this journey but only 3 remain on the quest to be named King. King of Elite is without question one of the highest honors one can capture within EAW. An honor that can catapult an Elitist from being just a mortal Man to being an immortal in one night. The crown means much more than simply becoming King of Elite, with many of these names being etched in stone as some of the biggest legends this company has to offer. 21 Men fell short of the ultimate goal of becoming King…
(Footage of various matches that took in place in the tournament thus far, Adam Lucas beating Ronan Malosi, and Charlie Marr, Chris Elite beating Donovan Duke, and Danny Tanner, and Andre Elite getting victories over Alex Myers, and Johnny Andrews. Then transitioning to all three of the finals competitors celebrating in the ring after their last victories. Then going back to a video package of Chris Elite)
Stew-O: Three different Elitists, from three different brands, all vying for the same thing. All three with different paths, and all three a claim at the crown. Chris Elite, who though being a Hall of Famer has had his fair share of people doubting him. But even with that doubt he has been able to persevere through it all and has found himself one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions. The veteran of this match, who has not yet been able to capture the crown in his career yet, is not going to roll over and let the younger kids take what he believes to be his. Could Chris Eilte prove all the doubters wrong yet again, and call himself King of Elite? It is very possible.
(The camera transitions to a highlight package of Adam Lucas, and all his successes in the year 2021. Showing him become Hardcore Champion, becoming captain of the Showdown team for Territoral Invasion, and his relationship with Dr Bethany Blue.)
Stew-O: Adam Lucas has been spending most of his season making a bigger name for himself. Winning the PURE Championship, defeating Mr. DDD at PFP while he ressurected the Hardcore Championship. Certainly this is a bigger platform than Adam Lucas is used to, but the moment is not too big for him. Add on some extra motivation with his girlfriend Dr. Bethany Blue also in the finals of her respective tournament, this could make for a storybook ending for the two lovers.
(The camera then transitions to Andre Walker, and the historic year that he had in 2021, and the dominant performances that he had during the King of Elite tournament to this point. At the end showing him holding the Interwire Championship up in the air in the middle of the ring.)
Stew-O: What can be said about Andre Walker that hasn’t been said already? One of the most dominant rookie performances seen, only continued onto his second year. After relinquishing the New Breed Championship, he moved swiftly right to the Interwire Championship, of which is still in his possession. One of the most highly touted Elitists in recent history, Andre Walker is looking to continue on his legacy with a win in the King of Elite finals.
(The camera transitions to a still shot of all three of them in their own respective panel still shots.)
Stew-O: All battle tested in many ways, it is an arduous task to choose between the three as to who can come out of this match on top. All three competitors have put their blood, sweat, and tears into this, but only will get to taste the fruits of their labors. Two Elitists that are in the beginning of their career trying to cement their legacy. And one Elitist who is already in the Hall of Fame trying to add onto the legacy that he has already created. Adam Lucas vs. Andre Walker vs. Chris Elite should be one for the ages, and we are all the beneficiaries for that. Who will come out on top though? That is a different question. We could see Chris Elite, the one that has done it all in EAW, to gain the crown, and add onto to a legacy that is already cemented. Or we could see Adam Lucas, the young Elitist that has been steadily making the climb to superstardom since he arrived into EAW. Or we could see Andre Walker, who has done nothing since joining EAW but break records, and up his game every single time he steps out to the ring. One of these three Men will be crowned King, King of Elite. I know one thing, to these three Elitists, this match means the world to all of them.
(Chris Eilte is shown sitting down in front of the camera with a smirk on his face)
Chris Elite: I’ve done it all here, and I’m not going to be here to just bend the knee to some newcomers. I’ve stood on top of the world, I’ve stood over my opponents, standing as champion. Now I want to stand as King. I’ve been dreaming about it, hearing those words. “NEW KING OF ELITE… CHRIS ELITE”. I’ve been daydreaming about sitting on a throne after a hard fought match against two other elitists and soaking in whatever reaction it is I might get because it wouldn’t matter because I’m the king. I am tired of the daydreaming though, I’m tired of the visions, I’m tired of the fan art of me as King. I want it to be reality, I want pictures all over the internet of me as King of Elite the minute the bell rings and my hand is raised and I’m sure my opponents do too, and it really comes down to who wants it more and I know it’s me!
(As Chris Elite nods at the camera, it transitions to Adam Lucas who has a very concentrated face, staring back at the camera)
Adam Lucas: II don’t think any of us should go putting the wagon before the horse, because the fact is, we’re all looking to keep climbing and I know for a fact that we all wouldn’t have to think twice about stepping and stomping down on each other’s heads to make it to the top if meant having to knock the others down. I know what both of these Men can bring to the ring, but I’m just as confident in myself when it comes to knowing that I’m ready for that ‘Next Level’ and becoming King only helps to prove what I already know is true and I’m more than willing to put in the work to make it happen.
(Glaring into the camera, not a smile, no emotion, just a stare as it transitions to Andre Walker.)
Andre Walker: It doesn’t matter what the thoughts and feelings of my opponents are in this match. What they say has no impact on the ending of this match. The truth of the matter is I’m the master of my own fate. I have been for my entire career, and that won’t change come King of Elite. My future is whatever I choose to mold it to be. This is just another step in the staircase that is Andre Walker’s career, and it’s not the top step either. I have more steps to go, and once I win King of Elite, King of Elite will become the furthest thing from my mind. All of our careers are filled with ups and downs, but I’m someone that actually grows and makes those losses mean something. King of Elite, isn’t the culmination for my hard work, it’s just a part of the process. So no matter what the other two might think will happen, it’s irrelevant. Because at the end of the match, there is only one conclusion that I see playing out in my head, and that’s me, sitting in that throne, King of Elite.
(Andre’s cold stare back to the camera is the last thing we see before fading back to the match card of all three for the finals of King of Elite.)
Stew-O: One match, one dream, one King of Elite! Who will be the Elitist to take the brass ring, and run with it all the way to the crown? Find out next week at King of Elite!
(Stew-O is seen in front of the throne that the three Elitists are vying for, then the package transitions into footage of Chris Elite, Adam Lucas, and Andre Walker, all standing tall at the end of their last match in the tournament, before fading into a commercial break)
(Promotional ad for King of Elite, where Andre Walker, Adam Lucas and Chris Elite compete in the King of Elite finals.)
(The camera opens up, and cuts to the backstage area. Sofia Clarke is standing by and she has a bright smile on her face.)
Sofia Clarke: This year, the Voltage roster just seems to be full of surprises. A couple of weeks ago, Hikari Kanno shocked us all by returning early from a horrific injury and saving her best friend and tag team partner, Miku Sakai, from a beating at the hands of MaryBecca. And just last week, we had another incredible return! Hall of Famer, Madison Kaline, would come through the crowd and attack Leon Dieter and Kelin while they were in the middle of the match. Now, it’s been a few years since Madison Kaline competed inside of an EAW ring, but all that changes later on tonight when she steps into the ring with the 24/7 Contract Holder, Donovan Duke! That match promises to be one of the best of the night, and joining me right now to talk about her return, as well as some other things, is none other than the ‘Mistress of Death’ herself… Madison Kaline!
(The camera shot widens and Madison is seen standing beside Sofia. She is already dressed in her gear with an EAW T-shirt thrown over the top, and she looks truly happy to be back.)
Sofia Clarke: Thank you for joining me, Madison.
(Madison merely nods. She’s more humble now, so telling Sofia that this interview was strictly just Sofia’s pleasure wouldn’t be very polite.)
Sofia Clarke: It’s been three years since we last saw you compete, and one of your last matches just happened to be at King of Elite 2019. You were the reigning Unified Women’s World Champion and you attempted to defend that championship against Sienna Jade and Astraea Jordan. Sienna would go on to win that match, and as a result, you would disappear. Can you talk a little bit about why you stepped away from Elite Answers Wrestling?
(Madison takes a deep breath, because obviously this is a question that was bound to come up despite her addressing it earlier in the week.)
Madison Kaline: Well if there is anyone out there who didn’t listen to my promotional videos this week, I opened up to the EAW Universe about several things that were going on with me at the time I lost the Unified Women’s World Championship. I was acting erratically, lashing out, and just generally being a bitch to everyone around me, including those that had always supported me and put me in the position to succeed. I was in a dark place, my head wasn’t screwed on straight, and yes, I had substance abuse issues that I was dealing with. I’m not proud of that, and I’m definitely not proud of who I was during that time. Regardless of how I left, why I left, and when I left, leaving EAW was right for me at the time. Of course, I didn’t see that. I took this job for granted. I took my success and my status as a Hall of Famer for granted, and I felt like the world owed me whatever I wanted just for existing. I couldn’t really handle the attention other people were getting because I felt like the entire world should be focusing on me. After all, I was the leader of the Queen’s Court. I was the Unified Women’s World Champion. I was the face of Empire. I self-destructed, for lack of a better term, and I dabbled in other things to cope with the bevy of emotions I was experiencing.
(Madison pauses for a moment, but a smile of triumph crosses her face.)
Madison Kaline: Thankfully, all of that is now behind me.
Sofia Clarke: When did you start thinking about making a return?
Madison Kaline: Honestly? It was around summer of last year, maybe a little before. Returning to EAW has always been in the back of my mind, and I’m glad the company gave me the chance to do just that. I fully plan on picking up right where I left off and reminding everyone why I am one of the most ruthless competitors around. Perhaps this is just my opinion, but I really do believe that people want to define me by the mistakes I’ve made, and in doing so, they like to gloss over what it is that I actually bring to the table. I’ve been involved in some incredible matches here in Elite Answers Wrestling, and more importantly, I’ve survived plenty of wars that should have broken me. I have shown the world time and time again that ‘The Mistress of Death’ isn’t someone you should play around with. I know my return to this company has put a lot of people on edge. Those who have been sitting comfortably at the top, thinking that they have no true challengers, sleep a little less soundly at night now that I’m back. They went from displaying their championships proudly on their mantles to clutching them tightly against their chests knowing that I am capable of defeating anyone and everyone.
Sofia Clarke: Since you’re mentioning championships, is there any one piece of gold in particular that you’re eyeing?
(Madison smirks.)
Madison Kaline: I think I mentioned this in one of my videos earlier in the week, EAW has changed a lot in the last three years. When I was dominating the women’s division, we had our own brand. Empire was our home and very rarely did any woman test the waters somewhere else. Of course, the Avas always seemed to be the exception to that, but Empire was the premiere brand in EAW, top of the ratings, with the very best talent in the world on it. It was a ruthless, cutthroat environment and I LOVED it. Now we have integrated brands and when it comes to winning championships, the possibilities are endless. Women like me had to walk so the women of today could run and hold what were previously male exclusive championships, and it’s a great thing to see. Personally? I haven’t set a specific path for myself. I’m certainly interested in seeing who walks out of King of Elite as the Universal Women’s Champion, I will say that. Andrea Valentine is an opponent I am very familiar with, and Ms. Extreme is someone I would love to step in the ring with as we both have similar styles. But I wouldn’t say I am dead set on just becoming the Universal Women’s Champion. I am here to continue adding to my legacy and I’m definitely keeping my options open.
Sofia Clarke: Let’s say for a minute that you do become the Universal Women’s Champion. You would become the first woman in EAW history to hold the Vixen’s Championship, the Unified Women’s World Championship, and the Universal Women’s Championship. That would pretty much solidify you was a woman of all eras, and even the great Cameron Ella Ava has gone on record saying that is something she plans to accomplish one day.
(Another smirk from Madison.)
Madison Kaline: I guess we will see who gets there first.
Sofia Clarke: :wow:. Let’s go ahead and talk about your match tonight. You are facing one of Voltage’s brightest stars and the current 24/7 Contract, Donovan Duke. Are you looking forward to that encounter?
Madison Kaline: It’s just another match for me. Donovan and I are in a similar position right now. We’re both on the outside looking in when it comes to King of Elite. I just returned and Donovan lost a chance to be in the King of Elite finals, so in a lot of ways, this is our bigtime match. At least it is for Donovan since I am one of the greatest opponents he could ever face. I might not have a ton of experience when it comes to wrestling men, but I can hold my own against absolutely anyone and I am not afraid of what anyone is capable of. My biggest opponent has always been myself, and the fact Donovan is the 24/7 Contract holder doesn’t really make a difference to me. I feel like he’s afraid to cash that in, and I’m sure he’s not that thrilled he has to be inside the ring with me tonight. I hate it for him but at least he’s getting the privilege of going up against yet another Hall of Famer. These kinds of matches will only help someone like Donovan in the future, and hopefully he can take nothing but positives away from our match. I’m going to beat him from pillar to post because he’s going to serve as the example that Madison Kaline is back and she is better than she’s ever been before.
Sofia Clarke: I think that is the perfect note to end this on. On behalf of the entire EAW Universe, welcome back, Madison. Good luck tonight.
(Madison nods her head and takes her leave. She spoke with nothing but confidence and conviction tonight. As she heads around the corner, the scene fades out from the backstage area.)
(Voltage fades to ringside, and Bella Braxton can be seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled FOR!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( ‘Forever’ by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem plays over the speakers of the arena as the babyface makes his way to the ring under the cheers of the crowd. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Yoakum, Texas! Weighing in at 218 pounds; He is The Show Stealer; KELIN!!!!
James Peters: Last week’s efforts from this match were squashed by a returning Madison Kaline who laid out both Kelin and his opponent near the end of their match.
Rich Russillo: It was an interesting match between Kelin and Leon Dieter b-
Persephone: Please! The Mistress of Death did me a favor by ending the match before it’s natural conclusion! I was about to die on my seat!
( “Ready To Die” by The Notorious B.I.G. starts playing through the arena’s sound system as Lucas Johnson makes his way to the ring to a mixed but more negative reaction from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: His opponents! First, from Long Island, New York. Weighing in at 210 pounds! He is “The Emperor of Violence” LUCAS JOHNSON!
James Peters: And here comes one of the participants of the match for a Unique Opportunity for Voltage!
Rich Russillo: Last week he attacked Holly Arrow from behind one has to wonder if she will be looking for payback ahead of the Unique Opportunity match they are both part of at King of Elite.
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We GO! This match is officially underway! Both men are moving to face each other center of the ring Kelin and Johnson stare down at each other before engaging in a clinch which is turned into a headlock by Kelin who quickly gets reversed with an armlock by Johnson! Kelin gets whipped into the ropes, TAKEN DOWN with a shoulder block by Lucas! Johnson smirks as Kelin gets up and goes to the ropes moving to face his opponent who hits the deck! Kelin hops over Lucas, into the ropes for Kelin who gets flipped with a hip toss by Lucas taking him down again!
Rich Russillo: Lucas with the early advantage in this match as Kelin gets up and walks right into an European Uppercut delivered to perfection by Johnson! Kelin’s reeling before getting whipped into a corner followed quickly by Lucas who clotheslines his opponent into the corner! Quickly grabbing at the middle ropes, Lucas rams his shoulder into the gut and ribs of Kelin going at it quickly trying to inflict the most damage before the official orders him to stop and back away. He does it once it happens and steps back a few paces BEFORE RUSHING BACK IN AND PROCEEDS TO STOMP A MUDHOLE IN KELIN! WALKING IT DRY!! We haven’t seen Lucas like this in a while this doesn’t bode well for Kelin who takes the brunt of it before moving under the ropes and trying to recover on the outside.
Persephone: Get the fuck in the game Kelin you lame ass!
James Peters: It’s quite early still, he has time to respond to Lucas WHO CHARGES KELIN GOING THROUGH HIM WITH SHINING WIZARD JUST AS THE MAN TURNED TO FACE HIS OPPONENT!! DOWN GOES KELIN and Lucas isn’t done! He picks up Kelin and ripcords him INTO A BIG CLOTHELINE!! Johnson follows it with a leg drop before whipping Kelin to his feel and SEND HIM CRASHING IN THE RAILING NEAR THE TIMEKEEPE’S TABLE! The official is beginning to make the count if they stay out this match will end in a double countout!
Referee: ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!
Rich Russillo: Lucas is on the offensive further as he sends a knee to the face of Kelin before taking him vertical, he wants to throw Kelin against the nearby ring post BUT KELIN REVERSES AND LUCAS KISSES STEEL!! ONE OF THE HARDEST PARTS OF A RING!! HE GOES DOWN!! Lucas looks knocked out!
Referee: FOUR!!!! FIVE!!!!!
James Peters: Kelin is going inside the ring looking down outside towards Lucas waiting for him to get back inside!
Persephone: 🙏 Endthematch endthematch endthematch.
Referee: SIX!!!!!! SEVEN!!!!!!!
James Peters: Lucas is slowly making his way to the ring! He has a hand on the apron!
Referee: EIGHT!!!!!!!! NINE!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Lucas is climbing on the apron! He’s GOING TO MAKE IT!! HE DOES!! Very close call for Johnson and Kelin sighs before doing his opponent. A few punches to the face of Lucas before putting him up to his feet and whip him into the ropes. Lucas ducks an elbow by ducking low and bounces off the ropes going back to his opponent TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A RUNNING CLOTHELINE! A BIG ONE! DOWN GOES KELIN! The man gets back to his feet but is grappled by Johnson who brings him down again with a neckbreaker! Lucas gaining momentum again as he stumps a few kicks to the chest of Kelin before bringing him to his feet.
James Peters: Into the ropes goes Kelin ONLY TO BE TAKEN DOWN BY LUCAS AND A POWERSLAM!! That one had some impact to it! Lucas isn’t done, looking at the nearest corner he is climbing it up Lucas is going for high risk! Will it pay off? He measures his opponent who hasn’t moved and LEAPS INTO A SHOOTING STAR PRESS! PERFECTLY EXECUTED!! COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: AND KELIN KICKS OUT!! Lucas looks at the official who confirms the two count AND THEN QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COQUINA CLUTCH ON KELIN!! BOTH MEN ARE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING THIS DOESN’T BODE WELL FOR KELIN WHO IS FLAILING ABOUT TRYING TO REACH A LIFELINE!! LUCAS IS TRYING TO KEEP THE MAN FROM NEARING THE ROPES BUT UNFORTUNATELY KELIN MANAGES JUST BARELY TO HOOK A FOOT ON SOME ROPES! HE WAS ABOUT TO TAP OUT!!
James Peters: Close call for Lucas, he was quite close to victory!
Persephone: I’m not any closer to being entertained here.
James Peters: The official orders Lucas to let go of his opponent but he waits until the official begins to count him out before letting go, doing a little more damage to Kelin who is moving to his knees trying to recover while Johnson plays to the crowd who is booing him. Lucas is toying with the crowd who doesn’t appreciate it one bit AND FROM BEHIND KELIN HUGS LUCAS AND TAKES HIM FOR A RIDE WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!! DOWN GOES JOHNSON WHO GETS BACK UP ONLY TO BE BROUGHT DOWN BY A HURRICANRANA BY KELIN! Finally some offensive by the Show S-Ah no! Down he does with an arm triangle by Lucas as Kelin was trying to throw an elbow to his opponent but he managed to counter it!
Rich Russillo: Kelin in trouble once more just as he was starting on an offensive sequence but it was shut down quickly by Lucas Johnson who turns the triangle INTO A CROSSFACE!! BUT! It doesn’t last long as he was too close to the ropes, allowing Kelin to grab on and force a stoppage.
Lucas Johnson: (off-mic) Seriously?
James Peters: The official acknowledges and Lucas let’s go of Kelin again before driving an elbow into the back of his opponent aiming for the spine! Backing up into the ropes he runs forward and leaps INTO A STANDING FROG SPLASH ON THE BACK OF KELIN!! He then picks him up, grappling at him with moves reminiscing college wrestling before spinning and taking down Kelin with a Gator Roll! Kelin is down again and Lucas goes to the ropes BUT KELIN GOT UP QUICKLY AND CLOTHESLINED LUCAS OVER THE TOP ROPES AND OUTSIDE OF THE RING!! DOWN GOES LUCAS! This is a chance for Kelin who runs into the ropes AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF WITH A SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPES AND ON TOP OF LUCAS JOHNSON!! Kelin throws a few punches to Lucas who’s on his knees before having his back against the ring apr-KELIN JUST DROPKICKED LUCAS AGAINST THE APRON!! The former New Breed Champion is kicked inside of the ring from the impact! Cover by Kelin!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: Just one??
Rich Russillo: Lucas lifts the shoulder up quickly despite Kelin’s efforts! Lucas’ back will remember that one tomorrow as he gets picked up by Kelin and whipped into the ropes. Hip toss by Kelin quickly bringing down Johnson who leg sweeps Kelin off his feet taking him down! LUCAS GOES FOR A CHICKEN WING SUBMISSION!! WOAH WHAT A TURN AROUND! But he doesn’t lock the move in properly, Kelin is able to get out from it. Both men gets up from their position Kelin throwing a fist which is blocked by Johnson WHO MOVES IT FOR THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!!! THE KILLSWITCH AS HE CALLS IT PLANTS KELIN’S FACE TO THE MAT!! COVER BY JOHNSON!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHR-
Persephone: FUCK!
James Peters: Kelin kicked out of that one! And it was close! JOHNSON MOVES ONTO THE OFFENSIVE WITH AN ANKLE LOCK SOON AS HE GOT UP!! ANOTHER SUBMISSION MANOEUVER ATTEMPT BY THE BEST KEPT SECRET TRYING TO PUT KELIN OUT FOR GOOD!! LUCAS IS TWISTING THE ANKLE WITH EVERYTHING HE’S GOT WHILE KELIN IS YELLING IN PAIN! HE RAISES AN ARM HIS HAND IS SHAKING IS HE GOING TO TAP? WAIT A MINUTE HE JUST ROLLED HIMSELF OVER AND TAKES LUCAS DOWN WITH A ROLL-UP!!! COVER!!!

James Peters: Lucas is pumped and forces his opponent up, BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX TAKING DOWN KELIN ONCE AGAIN! Lucas moves to his feet vertical once again as he goes to the ropes while Kelin is getting up AND LEAPS LEGS FIRST AND TAKES KELIN FOR A RIDE WITH A HURRICANRANAAAAAAAA!!! Down goes, Kelin and Lucas is pressing on quickly grabbing on the legs of Kelin turning him into position FOR A BOSTON CRAB! ANOTHER SUBMISSION MANOEUVER TO KELIN HIS BACK AND LEGS MUST BE KILLING HIM RIGHT NOW YET HERE HE IS RESISTING AS HARD AS HE CAN! KELIN IS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE MOVE HE IS HITTING AT LUCAS’ LEFT ANKLE WITH THE SIDE OF A HAND SOMEHOW IT GETS LUCAS TO SLIP AND LOOSEN THE HOLD! Kelin is able to crawl away and outside of the ring much to Lucas’ frustration who watches his opponent part ways.
Rich Russillo: Kelin is on his knees outside the ring holding his back as Lucas is stepping through the ropes KICKING HIM ONE TIME IN THE FACE! Kelin has his back turned to the former New Breed Champion WHO SPRINGBOARD HIMSELF INTO A PERFECTLY EXECUTED MOONSAULT! WAIT HE LANDED ON HIS FEET WHILE GRABBING AT KELIN’S HEAD AND DROVE IT DDT-LIKE INTO THE RAILING!! Quickly grabbing at his head he SLINGS KELIN INTO THE APRON BEFORE ROLLING HIM INTO THE RING!
James Peters: Seems so! Kelin is on his knees trying to throw a hit to counter Lucas but it fails and he gets a series of jabs to the face for his efforts! Kelin is up thanks to Lucas who grabs him by the side AND LIFTS HIM UP FOR A SWAGGER BOMB! DOWN GOES KELIN! Lucas drags Kelin close to a corner and he goes topside! What is he going to do? A 450 SPLASH!!! NO!! KELIN RAISED HIS KNEES AND LUCAS’ BACK LANDED OVER THEM! That may be an opening for Kelin who didn’t had much of a chance to get things going throughout this bout! He picks Lucas up, throwing him into the ropes Lucas bounces his way and ducks low the incoming clothesline, and stops quickly REACHING BEHIND HIM AS KELIN TURNS AND NAILS HIS OPPONENT WITH THE BLUEPRINT! LUCAS’ CUTTER CONNECTS!! COVER BY JOHNSON!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHR-
Persephone: DAMNIT!!
James Peters: LUCAS CAN’T SEEM TO BELIEVE IT AS HE MOVES TO A CORNER.
Lucas Johnson: (off-mic) THAT WAS THREE!! THREEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: LUCAS IS CROUCHED IN A CORNER YELLING AT KELIN TO GET UP! ARE WE NEARING THE END OF THIS MATCH? ARE WE GOING TO SEE THE LIGHTSWITCH?? LUCAS CHARGES FORWARD!!
…
…
…
James Peters: THE MOVE CONNECTS!!! BOOK TO MOUTH DOWN GOES KELIN WITH THE LIGHTSWIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!! LUCAS WITH THE COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: FOR THE WIN!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: PLEASE END MY SUFFERING!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEE!!!!
Persephone: THANK YOU, LORD!!!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( “Ready To Die” by The Notorious B.I.G. starts playing through the arena’s sound system as Lucas Johnson gets his arm raised in victory by the official. )
Bella Braxton: Here is Your winner… LUCAS JOHNSOOOOONNN!!!
James Peters: What a win by Lucas right before King of Elite! A convincing victory he who didn’t give an inch or almost to Kelin through the entire match!
Rich Russillo: Kelin tried what he could but Lucas was simply too strong, save for his attempts to force his opponent to submit this match was all him almost from start to finish! This sends a clear message to the participants of the Unique Opportunity match at King of Elite for sure!
(Lucas Johnson continues to celebrate his victory as Kelin rolls out of the ring in pain, and from there Voltage fades away from the area.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for King of Elite, where Miku Sakai faces Dr. Bethany Blue in the Empress of Elite finals.)
(Sunday Night Voltage begins to fade back in to show the Fiserv Forum where the crowd is heard stirring in anticipation for what’s next in what’s already been a jam packed show tonight.Their prayers are somewhat answered with ‘Age-Age Money’ by LADYBABY beginning to blast through the speakers of the arena while boos erupt and begin to rain down from the top of the arena. The camera then cuts over to the stage to show Miku Sakai being carried out from the backstage area by simps on a throne. She royally waves around with a pompous look on her face while the simps are struggling to carry her and seem seconds away from giving out. Miku barks at them to keep going, ignoring their cries as they slowly continue to carry her down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome… MIKU SAKAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well we just recently seen Miku a few days ago when she took a visit to Friday Night Dynasty, joining the commentary team for the night while her IDOL-GUN partner Hikari Kanno went up against her fellow Empress of Elite finalist in Dr. Bethany Blue. While I’m sure she didn’t really expect much, the match ended up dissolving into chaos which ended with a brawl spilling out between her and Bethany. While I’m sure that really pissed Miku off when it happened, by the looks of things, I don’t think she really cares that right now.
James Peters: Well knowing her, I think she believes it to only be a minor roadblock in the way of what she believes is her true destiny, so I don’t think she even has that on her mind right now. Sure it happened, but when it comes to someone like Bethany who I don’t think Miku really thinks much of, she’s damn sure that’s not going to translate any further into in-ring competition. If anything, this might as well fuel her even more, knowing the amount of hatred that Bethany has towards her, planning her next move and what she’s going to have to do in order to combat that when the time comes for them to step in the ring with one another.
Persephone: James, you really think that she’s smart enough to think ahead like that? Her brain is about the size of a chestnut, if you’re saying that’s actually crossed her mind for a millisecond then you’re saying everyone else on this roster is Einstein and you know DAMN WELL.
(The malnourished simps shakingly begin to lower Miku down upon reaching the bottom of the ramp, allowing her to step onto the apron with ease before they collectively drop the throne and collapse out of pure exhaustion. Miku makes her way into the ring, with another simp scrambling around to hand her a microphone from the Timekeeper’s area. She stands at the center of the ring, looking around with a begrudged sigh. That once cocky and arrogant expression turns into one of more disgust knowing what she’s been subjected to talk about tonight. ‘Age-Age Money’ begins to come to a close from there while Miku brings her microphone up to her mouth.)
Miku Sakai: These fucking simps, they’d do anything for me. I could spit on their face, stomp on them, belittle them, and they’d ask for more. I love it, because that’s just what I fucking deserve. Now I don’t usually pick favorites out of all of them because they just happen to come in droves, and it gets them all jealous and aggressive, but let me tell you right now I’m starting to lean towards having a favorite simp… and her name is Bethany. I mean seriously, who can say that they’ve dedicated this much fucking time towards me. Desperately plotting my downfall and having this weird OBSESSION with taking me out like it’s a fetish that gets her horny. Come the fuck on, she doesn’t have to be like that. If she wanted to kiss the ground that I walked on all she has to do is follow their lead, at the very least ASK. But no, it’s never that simple, it’s never that easy. Some people just have to be creeps. Because apparently she has to go the weirdo route and stalk my every move, might as well be watching me in the bushes while I’m in my house or some shit. Because that’s what I’m getting out of her, none of whatever bullshit that she just so happens to be spewing out for the week, but fangirl behavior.
Miku Sakai: Mind you, this woman is meant to be my OPPONENT. She’s supposed to be someone that is meant to give me the fight of my life and push me to my limit or something like that. But she doesn’t do that, the only thing that she proves instead of that is how the only place that she belongs is beneath my boot. Because you don’t see me dedicating this much fucking time out of my day to making sure that I beat her. You don’t see me going through an entire tournament just off the guise that I’d be across the ring from her, because I have NOTHING to prove while she has EVERYTHING to prove to me. It’s really idiotic, and she’s acting like she’s the bigger person out of the two of us. She’s acting all tough shot and saying that she’s going to exact her revenge, and EVERYONE is eating that fucking shit up and believing it. Because Miku Sakai is just so fucking hatable right? You hate my fucking guts meanwhile you’re the ones paying money to see ME. It just doesn’t make any sense, none of what she’s said these past few weeks has remotely made any sort of sense to me. Yet here I am, forced to listen, and forced to respond when I know I’d be better off not giving her the time of day and feeding into that forced narrative that she’s built for herself.
Miku Sakai: It’s getting real fucking annoying, and at first I thought this was pretty entertaining. Watching someone like her who likes to call herself “tHe MoSt HarD-WoRkInG aNd TaLeNTeD elItisT” prove to be absolutely nothing like what she says the way she speaks to me. But now, it’s just tiring. Especially considering I have to work towards something that I’ve already accomplished TWICE before this, and that’s beating her. Which is why she can’t really prove me wrong in any sense of the word, because SHE’S the one that’s lost, not me. I’ve never lost to her, I’ve beaten her, I’m 2-0 against her just like she said and while she wallowed in despair I’ve reaped the benefits and taken everything that she could’ve gotten if she was as good as she said she was. She had her chance already, she had her time in the sun and she had the opportunity to take me down, but she didn’t. She didn’t do so, yet people are BELIEVING that things are going to be different. Things are going to be different when absolutely NOTHING about the scenario changed whatsoever, instead she only got worse because she couldn’t cope with someone being significantly above her, how pitiful.
Miku Sakai: Where was this energy at King of Elite? That Harper whore managed to carry the other bitch to a Unified Tag Team Championship shot miraculously because of how dry the division happened to be, why couldn’t you do the same? You gave me the opportunity to be successful and propped me up on a pedestal? Where was this energy in making sure that it DIDN’T HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. God I hate this, I hate this so much because here I am having to run you down when I’ve already done so one too many times before. And here’s the thing, the same result is going to happen now. There’s no string of luck that’s going to occur, allowing you to defy the odds and do something that you were never even capable of doing in the first place. You’ve shown just how little you’ve deserved for the longest time now, and I think you’re just better off moving the fuck over and allowing yourself to get your ass beat by the true Empress of Elite. I’ve had to hear you talk about your aspirations of becoming a World Champion for WEEKS now, and it’s repulsive. If you expect this to be your opening to that path that you wish to set yourself on, then do it on your own time, because it’s just not happening. At King of Elite, you better just get ready to add another tally and make it 3-0. Because I am your Empress of Elite, so bow to me peasant!
(‘Age-Age Money’ once again blasts through the speakers again while Miku spins around on her heels and begins to make her way out of the ring. She yells at the simps to bring her throne back up, which they do so in a struggling fashion allowing her to take a seat before bringing her back toward the backstage area. It’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage then begins to transition to elsewhere.)
(The camera transitions backstage where we see Sofia Clarke in front of a monitor with the EAW logo on it. She gives a big smile to the camera before proceeding with words.)
Sofia Clarke: With King of Elite fast approaching, many of our elitists are trying to make an impact, and create some momentum. With a lot of exciting match ups scheduled, it is safe to say that this year’s King of Elite will be one of the most memorable FPV’s of all time. One of these matches is a new match idea known as TLC Chaos, it is bound to be one of the best matches, as the competitors know what this match could mean for their career. One of these competitors is none other than Triple J, and he has let me know that he has requested this time, to get some final words in. So without further adieu, ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time, Triple J!
(Triple J alongside his bodyguard Fitzgerald walk into the camera’s view.)
Sofia Clarke: Triple J, I know you are anticipating a great battle come King of Elite, and would like some things to be known. But what I would like to know is, how do you feel about the TLC Chaos match?
(Triple J takes a deep breath)
Triple J: I know the entire world is against me at this moment because I haven’t won a match this year, but that’s about to change. None of you should judge me based on those past instances because every match brings new opportunities. When the stakes are raised higher, my game is raised higher, and that should worry all of you. I have competed for the New Breed Championship before and came so damn close to winning it. Just getting that close to nearly winning a title left me hungrier than ever. I don’t like teases, it just makes me want it that much more. I want whatever the hell that is going to be in any of those three briefcases, and I want to change the direction of my season. 2022 is just a number that may or may not actually even be real. I’m just taking it one match at a time, and making the most out of whatever the hell comes my way.
(Sofia nods, while thinking of a new question)
Sofia Clarke: But what about your issues with Danny Tanner and Candice Blair? It seems like that has been your primary focus thus far.
(Triple J gets noticeably ill at just the sound of their names)
Triple J: I am not going to talk about them at all. I warned those two that they would pay at King of Elite, and that’s all that needs to be said. They don’t deserve any more attention than I’ve already given them.
(Sofia doesn’t think twice, and decides to push the issue)
Sofia Clarke: Well aren’t you afraid that if you put too much focus on Danny and Candice, that you’ll lose sight of the main focus, and lose your chance to actually win one of those briefcases?
(Triple J gets instantly pissed off. He takes a step toward Sofia, and gets in her face.)
Triple J: You have no business to ever fucking question whether or not I can focus on the task at hand for me. Candice and Danny are NOTHING, and they will not ever keep me from taking what is mine. One of those briefcases are my property already, and it doesn’t matter what Candice or Danny have in store for me, because no matter what they think they’ll do, they’re not even a blip on my radar. You sound dumb as hell right now, you’re lucky I don’t-
???: Lucky you don’t what?
(Candice Blair and Danny Tanner walk into the frame)
Candice: Want to finish that thought? Because it’s much different when you’re threatening backstage interviewers, rather than actually talking directly to your opponents. See you can say whatever you want in the safety of your own world, but the truth is, the only thing you’re leaving King of Elite with, is your hands empty, and with your little bitch at your side.
(Fitzgerald starts walking toward Candice angrily but Triple J puts a hand out, which stops him)
Triple J: Funny you talk about little bitches being at someone’s side when you literally have one of the biggest coward, little bitches of them all by yours. Danny, why do you still exist? Can’t you just… Oh I don’t know, disappear from the face of the Earth forever? It would do the world a great service, you sniveling little freak.
(Danny goes to talk but Candice stops him. She has no problem standing up to Jay Jerry Johnson tonight.)
Candice Blair: Do you remember the last person that tried to bully us? Yeah that would be Alex Myers, and you see what happened with him was, he was humiliated by Danny and I at Road to Redemption, and was sent packing to Dynasty. I don’t see this situation being much different to that. I have something similar in mind for the two of you, honestly. If I were to take a look into my crystal ball, I think it would say that King of Elite could be the last time we see Triple J, and Fitzgerald as members of the Voltage roster.
(Triple J just scoffs at the idea)
Triple J: No one has the power to send the future of Voltage off of the show Voltage, that doesn’t even make sense. I am the one that has shown that all the attention should be on me, because of just how charismatic and talented I am. The two of you are doing a great disservice to Voltage by trying to discredit me, and even entertaining the idea that you have the ability of stopping the inevitable rise of Triple J.
Danny Tanner: Ok you’re definitely not the future of Voltage, and I’m pretty sure anyone and everyone has the ability to kick you off of Voltage. You’re not even close to who you think you are. I don’t know if cutting unintelligible, try-hard promos equate to having charisma or even talent in any way. Especially after McCall ethered you just last week. You really should be walking into King of Elite with 4 straight losses.
Triple J: NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF EAW HAS ETHERED TRIPLE J YOU ABSOLUTE DUMPSTER FIRE OF A HUMAN BEING! Why are you even talking? Did Candice give you permission to talk? You realize that every single time you attempt to say words, you embarrass not only yourself but everyone who associates with you. No one can even understand what you say by the way you mumble everything, it’s just a waste of air. Just do us all a favor and let Candice do the talking please. God you’re so useless.
(Candice cuts in front of Danny to confront Triple J)
Candice Blair: No, what’s useless is hearing the same tired-ass dialogue from you day in, and day out. Especially when you seem to feel the need for protection in your day-to-day life, when I can literally guarantee you that no one gives any ounce of a shit about you enough for you to have a bodyguard. Speaking of which, why do you have a bodyguard that is such a little bitch anyway? He’s not going to do shit to help your already lost career.
(Fitzgerald doesn’t take too kindly to being called a little bitch yet again, and takes a swing at Candice. But before it connects to Candice, Danny jumps in the way and is knocked out cold. Fitzgerald then goes right back at Candice, grabbing her by the neck, and slams her into the wall, pinning her there.)
Triple J: Hmm well this is quite interesting. All that shit talk seems to be for nothing right now huh? You interrupt MY interview, to get in MY face, when all you really had to do was say nothing. Maybe you should mind your manners, and not try to talk so boldly when you can’t back up what you say. You want to repeat what you just said to Fitzgerald? Do you think he’s a bitch now?
Candice Blair: *Gargling sound*
(Triple J puts a hand to his ear contorting his face acting like he can’t make out the words)
Triple J: What’s that? I can’t hear you. Seems like you have bit off a little more than you can chew huh? So here’s the deal, Candice, I’m sick of you, and I’m sick of that pathetic piece of shit on the ground right there. This shit we got going on? It ends at King of Elite. I am sick of both of you… Fitzgerald, you know what to do.
(Fitzgerald picks up Candice off the ground, and chokeslams her down on top of Danny. Triple J and Fitzgerald start laughing as they walk off camera)
(The shot fades to Bella Braxton inside the ring, ready to announce the next match)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentleman, the following contest is a singles match and it is scheduled for one fall!
(Crowd repeats; “ONE FALL!”)
(“Best Damn Thing” by Avril Lavigne begins to play as the crowd pops big for McCall Everett, who eagerly makes her way out from the curtain and waves to the crowd, jumping around in her brightly colored gear and getting them excited)
Bella Braxton: MAKING HER WAY TO THE RING, WEIGHING IN AT 107 POUNNNDSS! WRESTLING OUT OF ENUMCLAW, WASHINGTONNNN! MCCALLLLLL “SKATER GURLLLLL” EVERETTTTT!!!!
(The crowd cheers heavily as she high fives all the first row fans on her way to the ring.)
Rich Russillo: McCall Everett always has a big smile on her face, but if you’re asking me, she needs to replace that smile with a look of focus. She suffered a big defeat last week to a tough Holly Arrow. It was a great match and McCall looked good, but in the end Holly took control and dominated the latter end of that match. McCall has a less experienced competitor in front of her tonight, but Jay Jerry Johnson is still a cutthroat competitor that wants to get to the top of Voltage as quickly as he possibly can. That means steamrolling over McCall Everett.
(“POA” by Future replaces the sound as the arena’s attitude quickly turns sour at the sight of Jay Jerry Johnson’s graphics. He walks onto the stage and embraces this negativity as he smiles and walks out to the top of the ramp)
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT, WEIGHING IN AT 198 POOOUNNDSSSS!!! WRESTLING OUT OF CHICAGO, ILLINOISSSSS!!! “THE CHARISMATIC ARTISTTTTT” JAYYYYYYYYY JERRRRYYYY JOHNSONNNNNNN!!!!
(The crowd boos heavily as Jay taunts them and proceeds to mock McCall Everett on his way down the ramp.)
James Peters: Well, Rich, I’d say it may be a big of a stretch to say McCall was “dominated” but Jay certainly wants to top Holly’s performance from last week. He knows McCall is the next step towards gaining momentum heading into King of Elite next week, where Jay will compete in a TLC Chaos match with several others from across EAW for a unique opportunity! Jay understands that a win here solidifies the proverbial platform of confidence he stands on and will certainly go into King of Elite feeling the best he ever has.
Rich Russillo: That’s true and even without that on his horizon, EAW’s eyes always make note of who comes out here and delivers their all and shows improvement from week to week. King of Elite shouldn’t change how prepared or how eager these two elitists are to perform at their highest level yet and we’re going to see if it does.
Persephone: Jay competing at any event with “King” in the title is a joke, is McCon-Woman Everett even performing?? :mjlol: She stinks.
(The referee calls for the bell)
DING! DING! DING!
Rich Russillo: Here we go! JJJ comes right out of the corner and tries to trap McCall Everett in her corner, but she rolls under the bottom rope and then quickly slides back in the ring as Jay follows her out there! He’s hot on her heels, but McCall Everett comes off the ropes now and jumps at Jay with a flying hurricanrana that sends him tumbling to the canvas! He picks himself up and retreats to the corner, but now it’s McCall who is after him! She tries to surge into the corner with a clothesline, now it’s Jay who slips through the ropes and goes to the outside! An electric start to this Voltage match!
James Peters: McCall has forced Jay to the outside, but now it’s Jay who says to take this match to the floor! He’s calling for McCall, who quickly slips under the bottom rope and nearly grabs Jay, but he runs around the ring as McCall is right behind him! Jay quickly drops down with a drop toe-hold and McCall SLAMS HER FACE INTO THE RING STEPS! Nasty move from Jay Jerry Johnson as he now grabs McCall by the hair and throws her into the barricade! He goaded her into taking the match to the outside and now Jay has turned things around and McCall is in trouble early!
Rich Russillo: Jay rolls her back in the ring, possibly looking to dispose of McCall Everett quickly, he pushes her off the ropes and then drops down with a sweep of the leg- but McCall has it scouted this time and hops over it! She comes back towards him and Jay slaps a stinging chop off McCall’s chest! Jay with a nasty chop as McCall Everett is stopped in her tracks! She grabs her chest and Jay biels her into the corner! He approaches and stings her again with a nasty chop, and again! Jay is picking McCall Everett apart with these chops!
Persephone: He’s just resisting the urge to grab her thangalangs, seeing as how he never has in his entire life.
Rich Russillo: Jay Jerry Johnson buries a knee in McCall’s midsection, now grabbing her by the neck and throwing her down with a snapmare. Jay goes for a kick to the face of McCall Everett- but she ducks down and avoids it! That won’t stop JAY- CRACK! HE STOMPS ON THE HAND OF MCCALL AND SHE IMMEDIATELY GRABS IT IN PAIN! WHAT A STOMP BY JAY AS MCCALL TRIES TO COVER UP! HE KICKS HER HAND AND SHE STUMBLES BACK DOWN TO HER KNEES, MCCALL EVERETT’S HAND IS GETTING DESTROYED BY JAY!
James Peters: It looks like he’s got a target now- BOOM! MCCALL POPS JAY WITH A JAB AND STARTS TO FIGHT BACK! MCCALL EVERETT MOUNTING A COUNTER ATTACK AS SHE TRIES FOR SOME MORE OFFENSE! SHE AVOIDS A JUMPING LARIAT FROM JAY, NOW KICKING HIS CALF AND DROPPING HIM TO A KNEE! SHE LEARNED FROM HER MATCH WITH ARROW AS SHE NOW KICKS OUT THE LEG OF JAY, HOLDING HER HAND IN PAIN ALL THE WHILE-
James Peters: JAY GRABS HOLLY BY THE SHORTS AND THROWS HER BACK INTO THE REFEREE, WHO FALLS AND TRIES TO GET BACK UP- JAY WITH A LOW BLOW! JAY WITH A NASTY LOW BLOW TO MCCALL EVERETT, WHO YELLS IN PAIN AS JAY GRABS HER HAND TWISTS HER TO THE CANVAS! DRAGGING HER DOWN WITH THAT BAD HAND IN HIS GRASP, JAY USING A WRIST LOCK TO MANEUVER MCCALL’S ARM! JAY JERRY JOHNSON WITH A SHAMELESS USE OF DIRTY TACTICS AND BLATANT CHEATING!
Rich Russillo: BUT IT WORKED- Not for long as McCall manages to get her good hand on the bottom rope! Fingers drape on the rope as the referee gets Jay off and warns him to be careful! Jay shrugs him off and disregards him as McCall Everett now uses a drop toe hold to hang Jay on the middle rope! She dropped him neck first onto the middle rope, NOW MCCALL BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES! YOU KNOW WHAT SHE’S THINKING ABOUT! SHE SWINGS HERSELF THROUGH AND LANDS A TIGER FEINT KICK ON THE FACE OF JAY! A STINGER!
Persephone: Lol first good thing she’s done, she still sucks. MCCONWOMAN EVERETT IS GARBAGE!
James Peters: YET SHE STILL HAS JAY ON THE ROPES AS HE DAZILY WALKS AROUND THE RING, FIRING A KICK AT MCCALL, WHO AVOIDS IT, HOPS ON HIS SHOULDERS FROM BEHIND AND DRILLS HIS HEAD INTO THE CANVAS LIKE A NAIL WITH A REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER! WHAT ATHLETICISM FROM MCCALL AS JAY HITS THE MAT AND IS IN REAL TROUBLE! MY WORD HAS SHE TURNED THINGS AROUND! MCCALL EVERETT IS CALLING FOR THE CROWD TO STAND UP AS SHE HEADS OUTSIDE AND STARTS CLIMBING THE TURNBUCKLES!
Rich Russillo: JAY JOHNSON BACK UP, HE SPRINTS UP THERE AFTER MCCALL EVERETT, HOISTING HER UP AND SLAMMING HER ALL THE WAYYYYY DOWN WITH A SUPERPLEX! A MASSIVE SUPERPLEX FROM JAY JERRY JOHNSON! NOW HE GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AND LIFTS HER ONE MORE TIME, DRIVING HER DOWN WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! TWO HUGE MOVES FROM JAY JERRY JOHNSON AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER ON MCCALL EVERETT!
ONE!
TWO!
James Peters: She powers out at 2! McCall kicked out, but Jay is showing no signs of slowing down as he drives his own knuckles into the hand of Everett! Jay now drags her back up, using an Irish whip to throw her to the other side of the ring- HE RETURNS WITH A SPEAR THAT SLICES MCCALL EVERETT IN HALF! A VICIOUS SPEAR FROM JAY AS MCCALL SLIDES UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND DOUBLES OVER IN PAIN!
Rich Russillo: Jay is just punishing McCall and he’s enjoying it. He’s taken over this match and had the reins over most of it, McCall getting some good shots in here and there, but Jay Jerry Johnson is delivering exactly the type of performance you want out of a young elitist right now. Jay is showing that he knows Voltage is his stage to make an example every single week of what his intentions are in EAW. He is making a big statement here and showing not only EAW, but his competition at King of Elite that he’s to be taken seriously and is looking to make right now his time.
Persephone: Oh yeah, he’s beating McWorthless Everett, that means it’s time to get down on our knees and praise the almighty being that is Jay Jerry Johnson! The way he acts I wouldn’t be surprised if his name was actually Kay Kerry Kohnson, little racist bastard.
James Peters: Anyways, Jay has an iron fist over McCall right now and it doesn’t look to be stopping any time soon. Jay now waves the fans to their feet, mimicking McCall Everett and garnering an even louder negative reaction from the crowd. He’s on the apron- HE SPRINGS TO THE TOP ROPE AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO THE RING WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE! A KNEE TO THE SKULL THAT SENDS MCCALL TO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: Jay is ruling over this match now and he starts shouting in the face of McCall! Taunting and teasing her, now peeling her off the canvas and throwing her into the turnbuckles. JAY STORMS IN WITH A FOREARM TO THE JAW OF EVERETT! NOW ANOTHER KNEE TO HER MIDSECTION AND A SPINNING BACK KICK TO HER GUT! JAY DROPPED MCCALL TO HER KNEES AS SHE SPITS OUT BLOOD ON THE CANVAS! HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES A PENALTY KICK INTO THE ABDOMEN OF THE HUNCHING MCCALL EVERETT!
James Peters: The referee might have to step in, this is just a beatdown and Jay Jerry Johnson is showing the world that he’s gonna play with his food before he finishes this match!
Rich Russillo: He might be in the endgame now as he starts to climb up the turnbuckles! Jay Jerry Johnson on the top rope, looking out over the world, he feels like it’s his right now! McCall Everett below, Jay Jerry Johnson FLIES WITH THE “MAILMAN IS DEAD” CORKSCREW MOONSAULT AS HE CRUSHES THE ABDOMEN OF MCCALL EVERETT ONCE AGAIN! SHE’S DONE, THIS MATCH IS OVER, BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST GETS BACK UP AND PUSHES THE REFEREE ASIDE! MY GOD, HE IS RELENTLESS!
James Peters: JAY JERRY JOHNSON SLAMS HER DOWN WITH A “PRETTY VISITOR” CUTTER THAT DRIVES HER HEAD THROUGH THE CANVAS! WHAT A MOVE FROM JAY JERRY JOHNSON, AND HE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS IT UP WITH THE “BRAND NEW JERRY SPECIAL”, CAUSING MCCALL TO TAP OUT!!!
DING! DING! DING!
Rich Russillo: This match is called by the referee, and there’s a win by Triple J, who could’ve predicted that one!?
Persephone: Me, but he did it by cuntpunching McTrash Everett, so he really doesn’t deserve to be seen as a winner.
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!!!
(The fans boo as McCall Everett lays down in the ring motionless and Jay laughs as he has his hand raised and thrown down by the referee. Jay shoves the referee aside and then rolls out of the ring.)
James Peters: Even after a victory, a tainted one at that, his attitude still stinks.
Rich Russillo: Does it matter how he did it if he did it? That attitude just got him a great victory against McCall Everett, who is still not moving. Jay Jerry Johnson is a real threat here in EAW to anyone at his level and he’s going to step on anyone he has to in order to excel upwards. Jay knows this business is cold and cutthroat, he’s just more willing to win these matches than competitors like McCall Everett.
(Jay Jerry Johnson walks up the ramp with a smile on his face and McCall’s blood on his body.)
Rich Russillo: What a statement he made here tonight, his King of Elite opponents need to trust in the fact that their opponent in Jay Jerry Johnson is no joke and should be treated like an extremely dangerous threat to all their chances in that match. He wants that special opportunity and won’t rest until it’s his and it’s covered in the blood of his opponents.
(The shot shows Jay smiling at McCall, who barely sits up with the referee’s help as it goes back to Jay and he walks through the curtain)
(The scene fades elsewhere)
(The show faded back and the camera panned to a completely different set, not to backstage but actually to the Fight Grid set! Fight Grid Host, Molly Waters stood behind her desk as she showed a sweet smile to the camera.)
Molly Waters: Hello and welcome, ladies and gentlemen! No, there isn’t any breaking news for Fight Grid tonight, but we do have something special for you all tonight.. A breakdown!
(As Molly said the last word, the TV Screen next to her flared up to show the Fight Grid logo before the blue background suddenly changed into a bright yellow and the logo changed into a gritty looking logo with the words “TLC Chaos Match” and as the logo was presented, small slides appeared underneath it with each one having the participants of the match inside of it.)
Molly Waters: Two weeks ago the Voltage Commissioner, Captain Charisma, announced an Unique Opportunity Match where there will be three briefcases hanging, each one having their own extravagant opportunity for Shock Value, and he announced it as a TLC Match, but not just any normal TLC, an absolute TLC Chaos! In Voltage fashion, the tables, ladders and chairs will be covered or accompanied by incredibly dangerous surprises, with barbed wire, thumbtacks, spikes or nails or even explosives! And I will be here to breakdown the participants in this match and their chances of winning, as well as giving my personal opinion as to who could win!
Molly Waters: Now, before I begin the breakdown, I have to talk about what happened with Justin Windgate, one of the most respected veterans around here in Voltage. He was one of the fan favorites to win this match but he sadly suffered a ruptured achilles and a possible ACL tear during training, and he was taken out of the match. It is heartbreaking to hear as his absence leaves a void on the match but it brings a huge opportunity for someone to step up, either way, we wish Justin Windgate a speedy recovery! Now…onto the breakdown!
(The TV Screen quickly slid away and it started off with showing footage of Jay Jerry Johnson, showering in the boos of the crowd and it cutting to Jay pulling on an opponent’s arm with the Brand New Jerry Special while he smiled smugly to the camera.)
Molly Waters: We start off with Jay Jerry Johnson, Triple J as people like to call him, after his hard fought match and eventual loss he suffered against Jon Kelton he changed up his attitude and style to start off the new year for him, even acquiring a bodyguard for himself named Fitzgerald, even though he hasn’t had much luck so far and the fans against his decision, he has shown that he is willing to do anything to get what he wants, and problems will clearly start heating up in this match with Jay Jerry Johnson having altercations with Candice Blair and Danny Tanner the past few weeks, all three of them in this match and “chaos” will be sure to ensue, but maybe Triple J will be able to come out victorious with a plan and take away one of the briefcases.
(The screen slid away to the next competitor, footage of Lucas Johnson standing on the ramp with a battle ready expression before it showed kicking his opponent’s head off with The Lightswitch.)
Molly Waters: The second Johnson in this match, Lucas Johnson! Former Young Lions Cup Winner and New Breed Champion! Lucas Johnson has made sure his name is known here, he is considered a veteran of his own from how long he has been here but Lady Luck hasn’t been kind to Lucas, and he isn’t afraid to admit it, he said in an interview with Sofia Clarke that he was willing to turn his luck around if it was the last thing he did, even attacking Holly Arrow after her match to get his point across. Lucas has spoken out about his thoughts and feelings and that Never Say Die attitude he has might bring him just far enough to get one of the briefcases!
(The screen transitioned then towards Ryan Wilson, standing on one of the top ropes with his arms raised in victory before then driving down an opponent’s head with the Mic Drop.)
Molly Waters: Former New Breed Champion and Social Media Enthusiast Ryan Wilson appears next, he considers himself a master at what he does and even though he is someone who is very disliked by the fans, you can’t deny that Ryan Wilson is someone who has shown a lot of talent and fighting will despite most of the time coming up short, but for the new start of the year he decided to take a risk by getting rid of most of his team and leaving Miss Demi Knor, his new Promotional Director, to lead the charge. This kind of decision has seemed to bring fruits of hard labor but will that kind of work be enough to bring him one of the briefcase? We will have to wait and see.
(The screen changed once more to show footage of Danny Tanner this time, a referee raising his hand in victory as he stood there with a shocked expression while it transitioned to Danny performing the Killswitch Bitch!)
Molly Waters: Here is Danny Tanner, considered one of the underdogs in this match but also someone the fans will definitely get behind, he has had a lot of naysayers and wrestlers who didn’t believe on him at all but he has went out there either way and proved people wrong, he has been able to pin known names like Jake Smith and Justin Windgate himself, even though people will pass it off as simple luck, if Danny still to this day can pull those upsets then it simply shows he has what it takes to be a great wrestler here, he is definitely the dark horse in this match so don’t be surprised if he ends up getting one of the briefcases!
(The screen then showed next Holly Arrow, posing on the top of the entrance ramp with her arms out with Josh in the background waving around a pompom on his mouth before it hard cut to Holly super kicking someone right on the skull with the Kids See Ghosts.)
Molly Waters: Holly Arrow has been someone who hasn’t missed with every shot she was given, even though she has been just shy away every time from that one victory she needs, she showed she is getting closer and closer to achieving what she is fighting for, and she has showed a lot of potential with her performance at the Extreme Elimination Chamber and when she was the one who eliminated Andrea Valentine on the women’s Divide and Conquer match at Clash of Kingdoms 2. Aside from sparking up social media with Jake Smith, the past few weeks she set out wanting what’s best for her and others, and one of those things is achieving one of those briefcases, the sky’s the limit for Holly Arrow!
(The screen moved on to Candice Blair, showering on the praise of the crowd as it transitioned over to Candice applying the Candy Lock and wrenching on the legs of her opponent before blowing a kiss towards the camera.)
Molly Waters: Now, everybody knows who Candice Blair is right? Coming from the Ava family, she has captivated the hearts of the fans with her good actions and putting herself out there for the others, and she has been able to gather the full support of the crowd along with Danny Tanner. Even though Candice hasn’t had as much good luck herself just yet in being able to capture that many titles or achievements, you can’t deny the kind of person and wrestler she is, she can push through at any moment and be able to get one of the briefcases for herself! This could absolutely be the match where things change for her!
(The screen quickly moved towards Mary S. Atlas laying against the ropes and keeping a confident smile on her face before it transitioned to Mary breaking a person’s face against her knees with the Welcome to Maryland.)
Molly Waters: Mary S. Atlas, she has been here for over a year now and proved that she isn’t someone to give up easily, she hasn’t had the best luck either during the 2021 year, and the fact that she has to go on to 2022 without her partner, Rebecca Blackwell, alongside her is a hard pill to swallow but Mary is someone who isn’t going to stop against those kinds of tough challenges, the TLC Match might be the lucky break that she needs and she will be able to win one of the briefcases!
(And finally, last but not least, the screen last transitioned to a rabid crowd of simps cheering for Hikari Kanno, standing in silence and shooting a glare to the camera before it quickly transitioned to slamming her opponent straight through with the Book of the End.)
Molly Waters: At last, we end with Hikari Kanno! One half of IDOL-GUN and a former Unified Tag Team Champion, she was this close to becoming Universal Women’s Champion but in the end she fell against Ms. Extreme and her hair ended up paying the price. Now Hikari ended up returning with sort of a vengeance, with her hair back and everything, she was able to beat Ryan Wilson and Mary S. Atlas, two other competitors in this match, and she hasn’t shown any signs of stopping, considering that she has been in an absolute roll since she has returned, she has definitely shown herself as one of the most likely winners of this match, her loyal fanbase seems to think so.
(Just like that, the montages stopped being shown and three gigantic slides dividing the screen appeared with a question mark on each one of them.)
Molly Waters: Now that I have shown what every person in this match is capable of, the most important point of this is who can win? From my personal standpoint, I want everybody to win since all the Elitists in this match have every reason to win, but sadly, there can only be three winners so I will lay out here who I believe has the most chances to grab one of the briefcases!
(Molly turned to the screen with a smile and as the first slide slowly started to take form it showed…Holly Arrow!)
Molly Waters: Holly Arrow is someone who has gotten very close to every opportunity that she was given to, with a new mindset towards the new year, I am sure Holly Arrow will pull out all of the stops to be able to win this match!
(The second slide started to form as well and it showed…Hikari Kanno!)
Molly Waters: Hikari has been on a tear ever since she has returned, she has beaten two people already on the TLC Chaos match and she carries the most momentum onto King of Elite, one way or another, Hikari will arrive to take her piece.
(And the third and final slide formed to show…Danny Tanner!)
Molly Waters: As I have said already, Danny Tanner is the dark horse in this match, he is able to prosper in situations where he is underestimated and he pulls out everything he can to win! He will have Jay Jerry Johnson to deal with in this situation but Danny has been able to overcome any situation with his will and heart!
(As Molly finished talking, the screen made its exit, showing the words “Goodbye!” before it turned black for a moment and then showed various King of Elite matches from Voltage’s side as Molly turned to the camera once more.)
Molly Waters: And that has been my breakdown! Remember everyone those are just my predictions, because in a match like this, anything could happen. Justin Windgate was very likely looking to be a favorite for this match, so with him no longer competing, who knows what could happen? King of Elite is shaping up to be one of the best milestones for Voltage, with Miku Sakai and Chris Elite fighting for Voltage on the Empress of Elite and King of Elite respectively, and matches like Jake Smith versus Minerva for the National Elite Championship and Myles vs Drake King for the EAW Championship. I have been Molly Waters, back to the show!
(Molly signs off and then the show fades away back to the arena.)
(Voltage fades to ringside, where Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church hits, and the crowd immediately begins to cheer for their 24/7 Contract holder, Donovan Duke. Donovan makes his way out to the stage, and he has a very focused look on his face, looking to bounce back in a major way after coming up short in the King of Elite semifinals. Donovan doesn’t hesitate to start making his way down the ramp, all while the crowd continues to cheer.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first.. From Stillwater, Oklahoma… Weighing in at 212 pounds.. DDOOONNOOOOVVVAAANNNNN DDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKEEE!!!!!!
James Peters: The 24/7 Contract holder is here, and while he didn’t win against Chris Elite and make it to the King of Elite finals, he has another big match on his hands tonight! One against a Hall of Famer, the returning Madison Kaline!
Rich Russillo: This is a major opportunity for Donovan Duke in his own right. Just imagine how big it’d be if Donovan is able to defeat Madison tonight! Donovan Duke is extremely talented, and I’m excited to see how this goes!
(‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff begins to play, and the crowd’s cheers only grow even louder, exploding as Madison Kaline makes her entrance for her first match in EAW in years. Donovan Duke doesn’t lose focus as Madison makes her way down the ramp, but Madison has a confident look on her face, knowing just how much of a major part of this company she is, and what she’s capable of. Madison continues making her way to the ring with a smirk on her face, glad to be back.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… From Tampa Bay, Florida…. Weighing in at 120 pounds….. MMAAAAAAADDIIIIISSOOONNNNN KKAAAAAALIIIIIIIIIIINNNEEE!!!!!!!
James Peters: For the first time in years, Madison Kaline is here and ready to compete! This is going to be a great match, as while Donovan Duke is extremely skilled, we’ve seen for a very long time just what Madison Kaline is capable of! She’s an extremely big threat, and I’m excited to see what happens.
Rich Russillo: One thing to keep in mind is the fact that she’s been out of the ring for a while. We don’t know how this will go, but if Madison is capable of even a fraction of what we’ve seen in the past, this match will definitely be fantastic.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: AND HERE WE GO! MADISON KALINE COMPETES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS AS HER AND DONOVAN DUKE QUICKLY LOCK UP! Donovan manages to quickly slip behind Madison as he looks for a hold- BUT MADISON MANAGES TO LAND A BACK ELBOW! Madison now grabbing Donovan Duke with a front facelock, AND SHE BEGINS RUNNING UP THE TURNBUCKLES AS SHE LOOKS FOR A TORNADO DDT- BUT DONOVAN DUKE IS ABLE TO PUSH MADISON OFF OF HIM! Donovan’s got an amazing mind for in ring competition, he wasn’t going to let a move like that connect so early!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke now running in, AND HE MANAGES TO JUMP UP BEFORE DELIVERING A HURRICANRANA! Madison stumbles up to her feet in the corner, and now Donovan Duke runs in- JUST TO RECEIVE A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE FACE! MADISON JUST SHOT HERSELF OUT THE CORNER, RUNNING IN AND DELIVERING A FRONT DROPKICK! Donovan Duke finds his way back up, but Madison Kaline is up first and she’s not letting up! Madison managed to get Donovan in a headlock, and she begins delivering some nasty punches, looking to deliver these strikes all to make this hold far worse!
Persephone: Um… Duh? I’m pretty sure “making people feel worse” is the only thing punches are ever used for.
James Peters: Donovan Duke lifts Madison up, but Madison manages to flip over Donovan and land on her feet! Madison Kaline now backpedaling into the ropes, and- WAIT A MINUTE! AFTERLIFE- WAIT NO! DONOVAN’S HEAD WAS NEARLY TAKEN OFF WITH THE AFTERLIFE, BUT LUCKILY HE HAD IT SCOUTED AND WAS ABLE TO DUCK AND TAKE MADISON DOWN WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! Donovan Duke now looking to try and lock in a crossface- BUT AS SOON AS HE GETS DOWN ONTO THE MAT, MADISON TURNS TO HER SIDE AND PUSHES DONOVAN’S SHOULDERS DOWN!
ONE!
TW-
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN KICKS OUT, AND NOW BOTH ELITISTS QUICKLY GET BACK TO THEIR FEET BEFORE- OH WOW! Both Elitists had the same ideas as they managed to land elbow strikes at each other! Both Elitists stumble away from each other as Donovan ends up against the ropes- AND NOW MADISON CHARGES IN BEFORE SENDING DONOVAN OUT OF THE RING WITH A LARIAT, CAUSING HIM TO FALL OVER THE TOP ROPE! Hasn’t this just been impressive from Madison!? She’s been gone for a very long time, but she’s doing a great job against an Elitist as talented as our 24/7 Contract holder, Donovan Duke!
Persephone: Come on… Donovan Duke isn’t THAT good. If he was, he would’ve actually made it to the finals of the King of Elite tournament. Instead Donovan has no match at King of Elite, and tonight he’s facing someone that hasn’t had a single match in this company in years. As far as I’m concerned this is already a disaster of a return match.
James Peters: …. Do I even want to know why?
Persephone: It’s because Rexy isn’t involved with it, obviously.
James Peters: Right 🙄… Anyways, Madison Kaline rolled out of the ring as Donovan Duke was trying to get up, AND MADISON SLAMS DONOVAN’S FACE ONTO THE RING APRON! Donovan Duke stumbles to the side, AND MADISON RUNS IN, GRABBING DONOVAN AND SENDING HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Madison Kaline showing a bit of that ruthless nature that got her the success she’s found in her career, but Donovan Duke isn’t staying down yet! Donovan’s grabbing onto the ring apron to pull himself up as Madison approaches- AND DONOVAN LANDS A FOREARM AS SOON AS MADISON GRABS HIM!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke pulls himself up onto the ring apron, AND NOW HE RUNS IN BEFORE- MADISON GRABS THE LEG! Donovan manages to pull his leg out of her grasp before kicking her away though, AND NOW DONOVAN DIVES OFF OF THE RING APRON, TAKING MADISON DOWN WITH A DIVING CLOTHESLINE! DONOVAN DUKE QUICKLY GETTING UP BEFORE GRABBING MADISON AND SENDING HER BACK INTO THE RING, AND I THINK DONOVAN IS REALLY STARTING TO GET FIRED UP, HERE! Donovan Duke is rushing up to the top rope, and it looks like the crowd is really into this one! They love what they’re seeing, and I think they’re about to see something great!
James Peters: DIVING CROSSBODY!!! DONOVAN DUKE CONNECTS WITH THE DIVING CROSSBODY ON MADISON KALINE, AND NOW THERE’S THE COVER ON THE HALL OF FAMER!
ONE!
TWO-
James Peters: AND MADISON KICKS OUT, PUSHING DONOVAN OFF OF HER! Can’t be too surprised that Madison didn’t lose that quickly after all she’s accomplished in this company, but Donovan Duke has always been the type of competitor to keep his head in the game and tonight is no exception! Donovan Duke now pulling Madison up, AND NOW HE LIFTS HER INTO A SUPLEX POSITION BEFORE-
Rich Russillo: MADISON KALINE DROPS DOWN BEHIND DONOVAN, AND SHE SHOVES DONOVAN INTO THE ROPES BEFORE CHARGING AT HIM! DONOVAN DUKE TRIES TO RESPOND WITH A LARIAT AS HE BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES, BUT MADISON DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE BOUNCING OFF OF THE SAME PAIR OF ROPES, DELIVERING A HUGE SPEAR AS SOON AS DONOVAN TURNS TOWARDS HER! Madison Kaline grabs onto the ropes to help her back to her feet, and I just have to say that this has been an extremely impressive return match for Madison!
Persephone: I mean… Has it, though? I haven’t exactly seen anything groundbreaking yet, and I doubt anything is gonna change in that regard. Nothing exactly surprises me about this place.
James Peters: Except for Rex McAllister and literally anything with blood involved, right?
Persephone: Pretty much, and Rexy isn’t around these days so that’s already one less reason to look forward to showing up every week.
James Peters: Well either way, Madison Kaline is back up to her feet, and it looks like she might be looking to put this match away! Madison Kaline is climbing up to the top rope as Donovan Duke is still hurting from that spear, and I think this might just be it! MADDIE BOMB!!!
Rich Russillo: DOESN’T CONNECT!!! DONOVAN DUKE ROLLED AWAY AS HE HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER A SLIGHT BIT, BUT MADISON KALINE HAD IT SCOUTED! SHE SOMEHOW HAD THAT SCOUTED, AND SHE MANAGED TO LAND ON HER FEET INSTEAD OF CRASHING ONTO THE MAT! Madison Kaline’s experience is coming into play right now as she backpedals into the ropes once again while Donovan gets to his knees in an attempt to get back up, AND THERE’S THE M.O.D!!! THE M.O.D CONNECTS, AND NOW MADISON KALINE QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
James Peters: DONOVAN DUKE POPS THE SHOULDER UP!!! THE REFEREE WAS SO CLOSE TO A THREE COUNT, BUT DONOVAN DUKE MANAGES TO KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE! Don’t forget everyone, Donovan Duke came so close in the King of Elite semifinals, and was accidentally cost the match by Jake Smith! Donovan is an extremely talented individual, but if he isn’t careful then we could be looking at yet another loss added to his record! Then again, it’s not like Donovan’s losing to just anybody. Just look who he’s facing tonight, someone I wasn’t sure we’d see again until last week!
Rich Russillo: Madison Kaline slowly makes it back up to her feet, and I can’t help but wonder what she’s thinking of Donovan Duke tonight! We know that this is her first match back. That’s already been established, but beyond that she’s going up against someone that wasn’t even around the last time we saw her in this company! It’s been a very long time, and so much has happened since Madison Kaline’s last appearance. Donovan Duke’s debut and rise up the ranks has been a major example of that, and Madison tonight is seeing exactly what Donovan is capable of!
Persephone: Blah blah blah, we don’t care. Can they just hurry this up?
James Peters: Madison Kaline is slowly pulling Donovan Duke back up to his feet, AND NOW MADISON TOSSES DONOVAN INTO THE ROPES BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE OPPOSITE PAIR! BOTH ELITISTS BOUNCE OFF OF THE ROPES AS MADISON CHARGES AT DONOVAN- AND ONCE AGAIN DONOVAN MANAGED TO AVOID THAT “AFTERLIFE” CLOTHESLINE, BUT HAD DONOVAN BEEN ANY LATER TO DUCK, THIS MATCH WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER! Donovan quickly grabs Madison from behind, BEFORE LIFTING HER OVER HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: Donovan nearly dropped Madison on her neck with that! Jeez, both Elitists are down on the mat right now, and you can just see how much this match has taken out of both competitors! Already these two have thrown so much at each other and brought so much out of themselves, and that just goes to show how great both Donovan and Madison are! They’re both slowly starting to make it back up to their feet, and even if these two have already torn each other apart, it looks like this one isn’t ending just yet!
Persephone: Of course it isn’t 😒.
James Peters: MADISON KALINE DELIVERS A FOREARM, CAUSING DONOVAN TO STUMBLE BACK A BIT! Donovan Duke is still on his feet though, AND NOW HE HITS MADISON WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN! Much like Donovan, Madison manages to stay on her feet! Donovan attempts a second forearm, BUT MADISON STOPS HIM BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER FOREARM, AND NOW THERE’S ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! MADISON KALINE NOW IS ON FIRE AS SHE BEGINS RAPIDLY DELIVERING THESE FOREARM STRIKES TO DONOVAN DUKE, AND NOW SHE SENDS HIM INTO THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES, AND DONOVAN LOOKS FOR A LARIAT BUT MADISON DUCKS UNDER IT, AND NOW SHE KICKS DONOVAN DUKE IN THE MIDSECTION! Madison Kaline now grabbing Donovan, AND NOW I THINK IT WAS MADISON LOOKING FOR HER OWN SUPLEX, BUT DONOVAN MANAGED TO PULL HIMSELF DOWN! Donovan Duke now looking for a suplex- AND MADISON MANAGES TO LAND A KNEE TO THE TOP OF DONOVAN’S HEAD! Madison now sending Donovan into the corner, AND SHE CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A JUMPING KNEE, CAUSING DONOVAN TO DROP TO A SEATED POSITION!
James Peters: Madison now, STOMPING AWAY AT DONOVAN DUKE! MADISON IS RELENTLESS WITH THESE STOMPS, AND NOW THE REFEREE IS FORCED TO BEGIN TO COUNT AS MADISON CONTINUES THESE STOMPS TO THE HEAD!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-
James Peters: Madison Kaline lets go, BUT JUST AS DONOVAN DUKE ATTEMPTS TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP, MADISON RUNS BACK IN AND DELIVERS A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Madison once again proving that she’s still very capable of pulling that ruthless and aggressive side of her out, as Donovan Duke is in a lot of trouble!
Rich Russillo: Madison Kaline notices Donovan Duke once again struggling to get back up as he uses the turnbuckles to pull himself to his feet, SO MADISON KALINE RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, AND NOW SHE CHARGES BACK IN BEFORE- NO! DONOVAN DUKE MOVES OUT OF THE CORNER, CAUSING MADISON TO CHARGE RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! DONOVAN DUKE NOW WITH AN ENZUIGIRI, AND DONOVAN FOLLOWS UP BY SENDING MADISON INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, AND DONOVAN CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! Impressive moves by Donovan Duke, and he isn’t finished just yet! Donovan just took Madison out of the corner with a snapmare, and now he runs the ropes!
Persephone: Donovan Duke was looking for a penalty kick, but as expected, he wasn’t even good enough to connect with a basic move like that. Madison got to her feet instead as she avoided that slow and lazy kick, and now both Elitists turned back towards each other, both realizing that they’re just as horrible, unimpressive, and untalented as the other.
James Peters: I don’t think that’s what they’re thinking. I think they’re just wondering how they’ll finish this match when they’ve survived so much already.
Persephone: Nah. They’re wondering what I said.
James Peters: 🙄. Anyways, BOTH DONOVAN DUKE AND MADISON KALINE CHARGE AT EACH OTHER, AND MADISON GOES FOR A STRIKE BUT DONOVAN IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT AND GRAB MADISON! DONOVAN GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX- BUT MADISON KALINE LANDS ON HER FEET! Madison now waiting for Donovan Duke to turn around, AND NOW MADISON LOOKS FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK- BUT DONOVAN DUKE DUCKS UNDER IT! DONOVAN DUCKED UNDER THE KICK, AND THERE IT IS! DEALER’S CHOICE! THE SPINNING BACKFIST CONNECTS AND DROPS MADISON KALINE! DONOVAN DUKE NOW DROPPING DOWN FOR THE COVER TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Rich Russillo: WHAT!? MADISON KALINE JUST GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!! MADISON KALINE IS STILL IN THIS MATCH, EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING SHE WAS PUT THROUGH BY DONOVAN DUKE! SOMEHOW MADISON MANAGED TO POWER OUT OF THE PIN AND KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE EVEN AFTER GETTING DROPPED WITH THE SPINNING BACKFIST! This has been such a fantastic match, and I have to say, I genuinely can’t believe that it hasn’t come to an end! I can’t believe that this match is still going after the Dealer’s Choice came out of nowhere like that!
Persephone: I can’t believe this match is still going either. Seriously, what’s taking them so long to finish this match?
James Peters: Donovan Duke is slowly getting back up, and he’s had to have realized by now just how difficult this match is really going to be! These two have been putting each other through hell, and somehow they’re both still here, still able to fight after the lengths they’ve pushed each other to! It’s all been extremely impressive, but at the end of the day we still need a victor, and I have to say, I could see either competitor winning this match. I could see this going either way!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke is slowly pulling Madison Kaline back up, and you can just see how much this match has taken out of Donovan! Donovan now, I THINK HE’S SETTING UP FOR “BANKRUPT”- BUT MADISON KALINE QUICKLY RUNS INTO THE CORNER, SENDING DONOVAN BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WHILE DONOVAN HAD HER IN A FRONT FACELOCK! DONOVAN LETS GO OF MADISON, AND NOW BOTH COMPETITORS FALL OUT OF THE CORNER! That was such a good counter by Madison Kaline, saving herself from a submission that definitely could have taken her out!
James Peters: Both Elitists are slowly crawling out of the corner- WAIT! WAIT WAIT! DONOVAN JUST GRABBED MADISON KALINE’S LEG, AND NOW HE LOCKS IN AN ANKLE LOCK ON MADISON!!!! THE ANKLE LOCK IS LOCKED IN ON MADISON KALINE, AND NOW MADISON IS IN TROUBLE!!!! MADISON KALINE IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE RIGHT NOW, AND THIS ISN’T LOOKING GOOD! MADISON KALINE MIGHT END UP BEING PUSHED TO TAP OUT ANYWAY, AND THAT’S NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED AFTER MADISON MANAGED TO AVOID BEING LOCKED INTO THE BANKRUPT SUBMISSION! This could be it, we might just be reaching the end!
Persephone: YES YES YES YES YES! FINALLY, FINALLY! HURRY UP AND TAP OUT! I REALLY DON’T WANT TO SEE THIS MATCH CONTINUE, AND I REALLY JUST WANT TO GET A STEP CLOSER TO BEING ABLE TO GO HOME, SO PLEASE JUST TAP OUT MADISON! Nobody asked for you to return anyway so I promise we won’t care if you take a tap out loss!
James Peters: Actually, I’m really interested in seeing what Madison has to o-
Persephone: I DON’T CARE, I WANT TO GO HOME! Don’t you understand I have better things to do than sit here all night!?
James Peters: 😒
Rich Russillo: Madison Kaline is refusing to tap out right now, AND NOW SHE MANAGES TO TURN HERSELF AROUND ONTO HER BACK! MADISON NOW GETTING BACK TO HER FEET, AND NOW DONOVAN CHARGES AT MADISON- BUT MADISON LANDS A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! Madison now quickly grabbing Donovan by the head, AND NOW MADISON QUICKLY BEGINS RUNNING UP THE TURNBUCKLES, BEFORE DROPPING DONOVAN HEADFIRST ONTO THE MAT WITH A TORNADO DDT! THE TORNADO DDT CONNECTS, AND NOW BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN!
Persephone: You’ve got to be kidding me. Why are they both down, now? This match should have been over ages ago! This is unbelievable. Neither of these idiots even have matches at King of Elite, I shouldn’t have to see their faces if they couldn’t make it onto the first free-per-view of the year! Should be Rexy here instead. At least he’d make up for all this by actually putting on a good match instead of wasting my time for what’s felt like hours.
James Peters: You really need to get over it-
Persephone: You really need to shut the hell up and stop telling me what to do. This match sucks, you get over it.
Rich Russillo: Well Madison Kaline is slowly making her way over to the far corner, and it looks like she’s slowly finding her way back to her feet! I’m not surprised that she’s the first to slowly make her way back up, but I AM pleasantly surprised with Madison’s performance tonight! She’s been gone for so long, and yet she’s still doing such a fantastic job!
James Peters: Donovan Duke is slowly starting to get up himself, and you have to think that this match has to be coming to a close! Madison is waiting for Donovan to get all the way back to his feet, and you can tell she’s setting up for something big! Whatever it is, it can’t be good! Donovan is stirring, and he’s finally getting back to his feet! MADISON KALINE CHARGES IN AT DONOVAN, AND NOW SHE GOES FOR THE “AFTERLIFE” CLOTHESLINE FROM-
Rich Russillo: NO! DONOVAN DUKE JUST SCOOPED MADISON UP! IT LOOKED LIKE DONOVAN WAS OUT, AND THAT MADISON WAS GOING TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY, BUT INSTEAD DONOVAN JUST SCOOPED MADISON UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY, AND NOW DONOVAN DROPS HER WITH THE DUKE OF HAZARD!!!! THE DUKE OF HAZARD CONNECTS, AND THAT’S IT!!! THAT’S IT, THAT’S GOTTA BE IT! DONOVAN DUKE FALLS INTO THE COVER, AND THAT HAS TO BE THE END!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. DOONNNOOOVVVVVAAANNNNN DDUUUUUUUUUKKEEE!!!!!!
James Peters: WHAT A VICTORY FOR DONOVAN DUKE!!! DONOVAN DUKE JUST BEAT MADISON KALINE, BUT IT WAS NOT EASY BY ANY MEANS!! This was such an extremely close match, that at any point I could’ve seen either competitor winning! That was a huge win for Donovan, and a great return for Madison Kaline!
Rich Russillo: That’s right. It’s been a few years, so once that ring rust is shaken off, the women’s division better watch out. The two-time World Champion is back, and judging by her amazing performance tonight, she’s looking to re-establish herself.
Persephone: Whatever. About time the match ended.
James Peters: Congratulations, Donovan Duke!
(‘The Outsiders’ begins to play once again, and the crowd cheers as Donovan Duke slowly manages to find his way back up to his feet. Donovan has his arm held up by the referee, but Donovan looks over at Madison Kaline, who’s still recovering following that match. Donovan has a look of respect, acknowledging just how difficult that match actually was, before continuing to celebrate his victory. From there, Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)
(Voltage fades to a commercial promoting Spider-Man: No Way Home, still in theaters now.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades in to show the backstage area of the Fiserv Forum. The camera shows Ms. Extreme making her way through the halls while the crowd erupts into a mixed bag of cheers and boos for the Universal Women’s Champion. She seems to be heading toward Gorilla Position and towards the ring, but before that can happen…)
???: So I heard what you had to say in your promo last week…
(The camera pans over to show the National Elite Champion Minerva while the crowd cheers loudly for her. She has her Championship resting on her shoulder and her arms crossed while she looks at her friend with a scowl on her face, unusual, but rational after what she says afterward.)
Minerva: Fuck Minerva huh?
(Ms. Extreme, quite frankly, looks pretty fucking baffled at this. It’s clear that she didn’t expect to see Minerva in the first place let alone call her out like this so abruptly.)
Ms. Extreme: Really? I was just talking in terms of the Universal Women’s Championship and the legacy of it. We already know what I’ve done since winning this Championship at Pain For Pride, I have elevated it to new heights and have faced anyone and everyone who wants to step up and take a shot at it and beat them. That’s what I was on about. I don’t think you or anyone else can deny that at this point in time.
Minerva: I never really got the chance to be the World Champion that I know I can be. But at least I can say that no one has handed me a powder puff title reign full of absolute nobodies and up and comers to defend against. But you keep that energy going about how you’re the best thing since sliced bread and we’re going to see how you happen to fare at King of Elite when you finally have some legitimate competition across the ring from you.
(Ms. Extreme is taken off guard because of the animosity and sudden hostility that Minerva is taking out on her. Both of them are friends and have made it known just how much both of them mean to each other, so of course, she tries to alleviate the situation.)
Ms. Extreme: Look, I think you and I have some stuff we need to talk about later. How about-
Minerva: There is NOTHING for us to talk about. I heard what you said last week, but don’t think I remember what I heard a few weeks ago either when you faced Myles. I hate to break this to you, but I would pick Myles, every single time without question, just like he picked me.
(Minerva walks past and pushes through Ms. Extreme to make her leave. Ms. Extreme doesn’t respond to that in any way, she just stands there, still shocked while she attempts to wrap her head around what just happened. But she quickly shakes it off before continuing to make her way towards Gorilla Position before Sunday Night Voltage transitions.)
(Sunday Night Voltage then fades in to show a shot of the Fiserv Forum. Before long the sounds of ‘Zombies’ by Bad Wolves begins to play up, sending the crowd into a frenzy of cheers and boos in the process. The focus is then shifted over to the stage showing Ms. Extreme begin to make her way out from the backstage area and towards the stage, fitted with the Universal Women’s Championship resting on her shoulder as always. She brandishes a serious look on her face which differs from the usual cocky smirk that she holds, apparent after what happened just moments ago with Minerva along with presumably hearing what was said about her a few days ago on Friday Night Dynasty. She looks at her Championship before raising it in the air, pyro shooting out behind her to accompany it while she just takes the time to bathe in it. From there, she begins to make her way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… the EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! MS. EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well as we saw earlier it seems the words of the Universal Women’s Champion don’t sit well with a lot of people backstage. I’ll admit, I was pretty surprised to see Minerva run her down like that. But I can’t really blame her considering everything that Ms. Extreme indirectly said to her.
Persephone: I’m surprised nobody does that to me, I say a lot of shit I’ll admit that. I’d love one of them to come over here to this commentary table so I could give them a fucking lesson.
James Peters: :lupe: Okey then. But I don’t think Ms. Extreme is out here tonight to continue speaking about her issues with Minerva, rather what is going down between her and Andrea Valentine. A few days ago on Dynasty we saw a video package detailing the respective journeys of Ms. Extreme and Andrea leading into their match at King of Elite. But after that we also saw Andrea in the present moment where she had a few choice words to say towards her opponent for the Universal Women’s Championship in response to what was said on Voltage last week, and it was not pleasant. By the looks of things, it’s definitely left Ms. Extreme in a grouchy mood and I think it’s going to affect what is said tonight as well.
Rich Russillo: This feud between the two of them for the Universal Women’s Championship has taken a sharp right turn and has definitely reached its boiling point as of late. It’s a stark contrast to what it was earlier in the month with both of them not being short on praising one another and giving respect where respect is due. But after a mishap caused Andrea to cost Ms. Extreme her match against Myles, things have seemed to have gotten real personal between the two of them. And who knows that Ms. Extreme is going to say.
Persephone: This has to be the pissbreak match of the night, I’m calling it. This is about as heated as a girly high school drama and I’m just not interested. I’d rather watch paint dry or even worse, a Lucas Johnson match.
(Ms. Extreme then begins to make her way around the ring before heading up the steel steps and onto the apron. She enters into the ring and spins around before raising her Universal Women’s Championship into the air. She then rests it back down on her shoulder before taking a microphone from the Timekeeper’s area and beginning to make her way towards the center of the ring. ‘Zombies’ begins to come to a close from there while Ms. Extreme stands at the center of the ring and begins to speak.)
Ms. Extreme: It’s been 218 days since I’ve won this Championship, let that sink in. Ever since it was introduced back in 2019 I had my eyes set on it. I considered it one of the four World Championships in this company and used it to fuel my venture to the top of the card. It took a bit, it was a rocky road and there was a lot standing in my way. But when it was all said and done, I stood at the top of the world, ending Season 14 as the World Champion that I knew I could be. Since then I have become a history maker, elevating this Championship and making it a must see. Becoming the longest reigning Champion and shattering glass ceilings left and right, I am fucking unstoppable. With that, you must ask yourself, “Camille, are you satisfied?” Are you satisfied with everything that you’ve done up to this point as Champion? Do you feel like you’ve done all you needed to do? Fuck no, if anything I’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to what I have to offer this division. I have worked my ass off to get to this point, going through literal hell to get to this point and reach the goal that I have at hand. It has been hellacious and you can look back to see what I’ve had to go through, and now that I’m at that point? I’m not letting go. I am planning to hold this Championship forever and that’s something that you’re just going to have to deal with. So many people have stepped up, so many people have taken their shot and tried to knock me down because they saw my success and felt envy. But I’ve managed to shut each and everyone of them down and despite that, I still feel like my work is incomplete. So that means until then, I’m not going to slow down even for a second. Even if it comes to that two-faced bitch who likes to say she’s my biggest challenge to date, because isn’t that such a high bar.
Ms. Extreme: I’ve heard what Andrea has had to say to me, and I’m sure all of you have been waiting with bated breath for my response to her. She wants to say that I’m someone who is jealous of other people’s success because it’s not my own, and who the fuck wouldn’t? Throughout the years I’ve watched a lot of undeserving motherfuckers walk through those doors and get their due, one I might be talking about right now. All of that happens while I continue to work my ass off day in and day out and show why I deserve that more than them. A lot of that goes under the radar, and it pissed me off I’ll admit. I’m not someone who is known to just sit back and let it happen, no, I am going to take initiative and I will not stop until I get my way. I’m not pretending shit, what I say comes from the heart because the only person that knows Ms. Extreme best is Ms. Extreme herself. If anyone has a problem with that, then they’re just going to have to talk to the hand because I couldn’t really care anymore. Because I got everything I needed one way or another, and it’s on my shoulder right now. I’ve lost a lot of my career putting my life on the line for this sport, even to the point where it had me thinking I’d never be able to come back. I have a long list of concussions in case you want further proof. So when I say that I deserve something, when I say that I’m the future of this business, that’s the truth. Because it’s an opportunity I wasn’t able to get back in the 2010’s, and now that I have a chance to redeem myself again, I’m going to make sure that I hit all the bases. Because while people like Andrea say that I should retire and I was better off gone, I am far from done. And the only thing that’s going to stop me is when I physically do not have a choice anymore.
Ms. Extreme: Because I will die in that ring if I have to, I have shown that on multiple occasions. And to see people try and take that away from me, why wouldn’t you be mad? Why wouldn’t you be pissed off? I don’t see a reason not to. That’s the difference between Andrea and I, yeah let’s talk about that. While she’s been complacent her entire career, rolling with the punches even when she’s been spit on and disgraced, allowing herself to be a sandbag for everyone else around her even when she knows that she deserves more. I’ve been working my ass off to make sure that doesn’t happen and when it does, I’ll say something about it. I have a lot more cajones than most people can say they have, and I will not be afraid to speak my mind. If you have a problem with my mouth and what comes out of it then just like I said before, you can say it to me upfront and we can put your words against mine and see which one stands. Nine times out of ten it ends up being mine by the way. While Andrea allows herself to just let opportunities fall right into the palm of her hand, that just doesn’t satisfy me one bit. I go out there and seize it, if it’s not my time, then I make it my time. I’m not just going to sit around and let time pass by when who knows how much of it I have left. When I have my mind set on something, I will stop at nothing to make sure it happens, Andrea has seen that first hand which is why it baffles me to see her point the finger at me the way she has.
Ms. Extreme: It’s why I moved on from Empire and decided to get that head start competing with the males like Andrea talked about. I beat them to the punch because I know I deserved better and with that, came results. When they all began to spill out onto the scene after Empire folded I was already en route to being the longest reigning PURE Champion while they were struggling to see where they’d fit. The goal was always the same for me, break barriers and carve a legacy for myself by any means necessary. The Universal Women’s Championship was not me settling for it because I couldn’t win anything else, just like you said, just like I said, this World Championship just like the rest is equal if not on a higher plane. And if what I’ve been doing as of late is not elevating it and putting it on the map so we can have a Women’s Championship to respect in this company, then I don’t know what the fuck I’ve been doing for 218 days. Clearly not enough if that’s what Andrea wants to say to me.
Ms. Extreme: We’ve been so generous to her, allowing her opportunity after opportunity even after she’s managed to consistently fall short time after time again. Even after she said things are going to be different, even when she said that this Season is going to be her Season, she falls into her old ways and shows why she’s always a step behind the rest. It’s why she isn’t World Heavyweight Champion right about now even though Friday Night Dynasty has given her the perfect opportunity to do so, it’s why she’s not Universal Women’s Champion either and quite frankly will never be while I’m still breathing. I’ve tried my best to be nice, I’ve tried my best to be considerate and politely tell her how things are going to go because she was one of the only people that had my back when we were on Voltage together. But it appears that’s not how it’s going to be, she doesn’t want that, she wants to face my wrath. And she’s going to get that and more, because I’ll give it to her. She is going to be my biggest challenge. But if she thinks I’m not ready for that then she’s in for something way more-
(‘Roll With Me’ by Charli XCX begins to blast through the speakers of the arena interrupting what Ms. Extreme was saying while the crowd begins to cheer loudly for Andrea Valentine making her way out from the backstage area. She makes a beeline towards the ring, not showing the usual bubbly persona that she’s used to instead more focused on confronting Ms. Extreme possibly for the last time this week before King of Elite can roll around.)
Rich Russillo: And here we go, here comes the challenger herself. It seems she hasn’t taken very kindly to Ms. Extreme’s response to her and has decided to come out and settle the score with her tonight! Both of them have come to blows with one another and have continued to hold their ground with what they say, so if you want me to be honest with you right now, I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen from here.
James Peters: Well if I had to give my guess, it’s not going to be pretty. With both of them on edge for their own respective reason, they’re not going to be very kind to what they have to say towards one another. Who knows what might happen but all we know is that they also have a main event after this that both of them are involved in some capacity with. I’m sure the last thing Andrea wants to do is walk into the main event less than 100%.
Persephone: Not like it makes a difference either way. Twinkle toes here is a one trick pony so she doesn’t need to do much. Just a matter of regarding if her opponent has shit for brains. Since she’s facing Drake King… :yikes:
(Andrea begins to make her way up the steel steps and onto the apron, stepping into the ring while she glances at Ms. Extreme before being handed a microphone from the Timekeeper’s area. ‘Roll With Me’ then begins to come to a close from there while the crowd begins to quiet down, it’s apparent that this is a tense situation at hand.)
Andrea Valentine: Generous??? The almighty Ms. Extreme said that what she said to me was because she decided to be generous?! To little ol’ me?! 🥺🥺🥺 I’m so touched! It definitely was not because of the mutual respect and admiration we both had for one another’s work, and the experience we had with one another on Voltage, no! She was just trying to be nice and that’s all there is to it 🙄. But you know what, even if you assume that to be the case, frankly I was never here for that in the first place. It’s what I said to you on the Dynasty after the Christmas show, that I stepped up to you because I knew you needed a challenge more than anything else and the both of us could create some magic in the ring with one another. That only ever required your best, and didn’t need any of this “sincere” bullshit that you were throwing at me that would’ve probably kept going if you didn’t punch me in the face. If this is your true side, I don’t really care, show it. In this case I’m not here to make friends, I’m here for that Championship. So let’s stop playing revisionist’s history hun and face the facts 😌. Because I’ll admit, it’s funny hearing you flip flop when it comes to what your opinion is about me, especially my work in EAW. One second you’re saying “Oh my Gawd you’re such a kween that has done so much and deserves every single bit of it!” to “Grrr she doesn’t deserve it and has been handed everything and loses a lot as well 😡😡😡”. It’s like I’m not Andrea Valentine.
Andrea Valentine: It’s not like I don’t have a Hall of Fame resume with the amount of accolades that I’ve stacked up. It’s not like I’m a former World Champion who won said title in a match that you were in. It’s not like I’m a main event level competitor who should be past the point of proving people wrong but still does so anyway because I have nothing to hide. All of these things are taken into consideration, and you say that you know me better than anyone. If that was truly the case, then you know I know how much you’ve been through. I get that you’ve been through this apparent hell and have worked so hard to get back to this point, but I said what I said. I know what you’re willing to do, but I don’t think you really understand what I’m willing to do. This entire Season I have spent working my ass off to get to the World Championship that I know I deserve. Not many people think that I remotely deserve it, people like you, and the only thing it does for me is fuel me. Because even after everything that’s happened this Season sure you can shun me out. But you know what happens when people take me down Camille. You know what happens when I fall short and believe me that has happened on more than one occasion. I get up, and I keep going. That’s just how it’s been, and even after everything that I’ve been through, somehow, someway, something happens that just makes it all worth it for me. If you ask me, I don’t think that’s being handed everything, I think that’s just jealousy 🤷♀️.
Ms. Extreme: Give me a fucking break Andrea, jealousy??? You know the type of person I am, I never envy anyone, because I am perfect exactly as I am today. I have proven that on this microphone, I have proven that in this very ring, I have shown why I belong and the lengths I will fucking go to. You can throw this whole motivational ‘I fall down but I get back up again’ bull my way, and hell you might get some people to believe you because it’s the ideal fairytale ending for someone like yourself. But I don’t believe it, you have nothing to show for it currently. You ran me down last week and said that the “old Andrea Valentine” never left, but the only proof that I see are the words that come out of your mouth, nothing more than that. You can say what you want Andrea, and for the most part it’ll be believable compared to everyone else that I’ve faced since I won this Championship. But words like that can only get you so far, and it’s only a matter of time before your luck runs thin.
Andrea Valentine: Luck huh? That’s the narrative we’re going with now? Okay then, if that’s what we’re doing 🙄. What I say is not a matter of me throwing whatever to the wall and hoping that it sticks, I speak from the heart and I mean every bit of it because that’s just how it’s going to go. There is nothing about it that revolves around the notion of luck. Because it wasn’t luck when I won the Openweight Championship. It wasn’t luck when I became a two-time Specialists Champion and tied the record for longest reigning Champion. It wasn’t luck when I won the EAW World Championship. I could go on and on and hell we could deep dive into my other statistics if you wanted to, but I don’t think you’re ready for that 💅. What I’m saying is I don’t think we can really deny what I’m doing is based on luck. But you on the other hand 🤫. You were clamoring about me only settling with the Universal Women’s Championship, but I’m just saying it took me much less time to win a World Championship.
Ms. Extreme: Yes, thank you for stating the obvious. But no matter how long it took me to get to this point, I think I’ve more than proven that this reign will be one to remember. Because this is a World Championship at the end of the day, and I will make sure that it’s recognized as such. I’ve done that, meanwhile what have you been doing? While I’ve been welcoming all challengers and patiently waiting for one that can stand toe to toe against me to come along, which could’ve been you but I guess you were occupied, you were also finding yourself stumbling around the World Championship scene acting like you never left and it’s Season 13 all over again. Get real Andrea, I don’t think you really have any room to speak at this point. You’ve done a lot for yourself, good job, but you’ve proven to me why you’re just as washed up as you like to say I am. Hanging onto the same dwindling narrative that you’ve always tried to play, being the underdog when you should be beyond that. Sorry to step on your toes, but that’s just the reality of this whole situation.
Andrea Valentine: I wish I could so easily control when I’m fighting against the grain and when I’m not. But it’s not that easy, especially when you’ve got everyone against you, you’re just proving me right by saying that I’m not capable of winning a World Championship. I will say to kingdom come how much you deserve that Universal Women’s Championship even if you really are a last resort Champion, but in the end, I lapped around you one year ago and you just haven’t been able to catch up. You try your best, and I can tell. But you’re just trying to sing the praises that everyone else has tried to do against me, and we both know how that’s turned out in the past. I promised that Season 15 would be my year, my redemption, and I assured everyone that one way or another I would find my way into the World Championship picture. Now here I am, and I’m not stopping. Say what you want, paint whatever picture you need to in order to prove your point, this is what you wanted, and acting all defensive now isn’t going to save you as much as you expect it to. I’ve held my ground on everything that I’ve said up to this point, and there’s no going back. I just hope you understand that when you’re face down on the ground questioning what went wrong. Because I know the answer.
Ms. Extreme: I won’t need to, because I am not losing to someone like you. I have gone too far Andrea, way too far, for it all to be thrown away because YOU said so. Because YOU said that this was how it’s going to go. You expect me to abide by that? Face it Andrea, this bullshit act that you always play isn’t going to fly by me, I know you too well for that. Most of the time you come into matches with a level of unpredictability because people overlook you, but I know what you can do. You have your back against the wall and you don’t want to admit it, instead you want to prop yourself up on this pedestal that you’re nowhere being on because you’re Andrea Valentine huh? I’m glad this match is happening for a few reasons. I get that big defense under my belt so people can shut up and acknowledge me as I am and that’s the best World Champion in the history of this company. And I get you to face that reality that you’ve spent months running from and have only ever been so lucky because you slide under the radar and give the ‘Oh there’s always next time’ shtick. No more. Better get ready for that match tonight, because it’s only a warm up for what happens at King of Elite. And I guarantee you, even with that level of mental preparation, you are not ready for what’s in store for you.
(‘Zombies’ begins to briefly play up again while Ms. Extreme drops her microphone down onto the ground and turns around, making her way out of the ring. She walks around the ring, not even giving a glance at Andrea while she makes her way towards commentary. Andrea simply gazes at her briefly before shaking her head and getting ready for the match at hand. The camera then goes over once more to show Ms. Extreme getting seated at the table.)
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme we’d like to thank you for joining us tonight-
Persephone: Cut the formalities, who pissed in your fucking cereal today girl :mjlol:.
Ms. Extreme: Maybe you can see how pissed off I can get if you continue pushing my buttons.
Persephone: Ok :mjlol2:.
(Voltage fades to a final promotional ad for King of Elite, promoting the upcoming Universal Women’s Championship match between Ms. Extreme and Andrea Valentine.)
(The camera opens back up to Bella Braxton, who is ready to announce the final match of the evening.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is our MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! It is scheduled for…ONE FALL!
Crowd: (with extra excitement) ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, please welcome the EAW World Champion, MYLESS!!!!!!!!
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi hits, and the crowd immediately begins cheering as Myles makes his way out with his EAW World Championship. He begins making his way down the ramp, walking around the ring instead of towards it as he’s not competing tonight. He takes a seat in the empty chair on the side of the commentary table opposite from Ms. Extreme, picking up the spare headset.)
James Peters: Myles, Ms. Extreme, glad to have you two here on commentary.
Ms. Extreme: Whatever, let’s just get this match over with. That’s why we’re here, right?
Myles: For once, I agree.
Bella Braxton: ALREADY IN THE RING! She is from Orlando, Florida! Weighing 110 pounds! She is ANDREA VALENTINE!
Ms. Extreme: In other words, the latest in what’ll be a very long list of title defenses.
James Peters: I guess we’ll see, but I’m looking forward to both World Championship matches!
Myles: You might as well just worry about theirs, because all I plan to do at King of Elite is make Drake pay for his actions.
Persephone: I’d rather talk about Veena than either of you two bitches.
Ms. Extreme: Don’t get me started with you.
(As Andrea Valentine waits inside of the ring, she turns towards Ms. Extreme one final time, having heard some of her words.)
Andrea Valentine: (off-mic) Hold that title for as long as you can. Because it’s coming home to me at King of Elite.
Ms. Extreme: Keep telling yourself that, as long as it helps you sleep at night.
Rich Russillo: You both are both amazing competitors and your match at King of Elite is going to be one for the ages if you ask me.
(“Cold War” by Han Zimmer starts playing as Drake King enters the arena and heads directly for the ring. After what happened earlier tonight, he is in a bad mood and is walking slower than usual. A closeup shot of Drake’s face shows that there is a nice bruise starting to show from the title shot he got from Minerva.)
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT!! Making his way to the ring! Residing in The Dead Sea, Israel. Weighing in at 220 pounds! He is DRAKE…THE REDEEMER!
Myles: “Redeemer” my ass. Nothing redeeming about that son of a bitch. He’ll get his. I guarantee it.
James Peters: Strong words about your challenger coming up at the King of Elite. Drake King is the man you won the EAW Title from at Road to Redemption and he is looking to win his third World Title of his career at your expense.
Myles: Try all he wants. It doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. After the shit he pulled last week, I will do everything I can to crucify the bastard.
Persephone: Can I just leave? I don’t want to be here right now and you guys don’t need me.
Rich Russillo: Calm down you guys. At least for a second. All we can say is that the first title defense for Myles will be a tough one and very personal. Going to be an exciting matchup to say the least.
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Here we go! Bell has rung and our main event is underway. This is going to be an amazing match. Two former EAW World Champions in the ring as well as the two of the number one contenders for their respective world titles at King of Elite. This match is going to be as hard hitting as they come.
Rich Russillo: You got that right. Andrea and Drake meet in the center of the ring. It looks like the Redeemer wants to start this off with a handshake. Weird on his part, but ANDREA HAS NOTHING OF IT! SLAP TO THE FACE FROM ANDREA VALENTINE TO DRAKE KING! She knows she is going to have to stay on the attack from the get go because Drake King can be so devious that if he gets an opening, then he will strike.
Myles: :mjlol:! Slap him again, Andrea. Oh that was great. It would only be better if I slapped him myself. Over and over until he was unconscious.
Persephone: It would only be better if I was gone or if Rex was next to me comforting me in my time of need.
James Peters: Andrea with the forearms right into the kisser of Drake King sending him into the ropes. Andrea with the Irish Whip, but Drake with the counter. Andrea rebounds off the ropes. Drake grabs her and is trying to go for a backbreaker, BUT ANDREA COUNTERS WITH THE TILT A WHIRL! ROUND AND ROUND THEY GO!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE SAW IT COMING! DRAKE GRABS THE LEGS AND HOISTS ANDREA UP TO GRAB THE ARMS BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH THE CHICKENWING FACEBUSTER! Nice chain of moves from the two former EAW World Champions.
Persephone: Yeah, the blonde bitch got dropped on her plastic surgery face and the greasy haired guy is dizzier than normal. Now let’s see some blood.
Ms. Extreme: Wasn’t a great start by Andrea. I’m sure I would’ve had that handled 🤷♀️.
James Peters: We knew it was going to be heated, but I was hoping for the ring and not the announce booth. Now back to the match, Drake King has mounted Andrea and he is laying in those right hands to the skull of Andrea. Andrea is doing her best to block and the referee is trying to get Drake to break the hold and now the referee has started the count.
Rich Russillo: Drake stops on four because he would have been disqualified on five. Drake picks up Andrea and clobbers her back down with a clothesline. Now that Drake is in firm control of this match up, he takes a second to take in the jeers from the crowd. He absorbs the hate before delivering a boot right into the midsection of Andrea Valentine.
Myles: It’s a shame that lunatic is even in control of this match right now, but with his track record, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up screwing himself over.
Ms. Extreme: I don’t really care who wins at this point, as long as Andrea comes to realize that at King of Elite, I’m going to be a far bigger threat than she’s capable of dealing with. If this is all she’s got, then she’s not going to defeat me.
Myles: Drake is an idiot, I wouldn’t exactly hold this match against Andrea when he’s probably going to mess up in just a matter of time.
Ms. Extreme: So we’re betting on this match now?
Persephone: Oh for gawd’s sake, can you too shut up for a moment? You two running your mouths and those two idiots in the ring are killing all of my senses. I can’t wait until this night is over and I can dream about me and Rexy on a private island.
James Peters: Anyways…. Drake King once again picks up Andrea. This time it looks like Drake is going for the dreaded Buckle Bomb BUT ANDREA VALENTINE COUNTERS WITH A HEADSCISSORS SENDING DRAKE FOR A RIDE! DRAKE BACK UP AND ANDREA WITH A DROPKICK SENDING DRAKE KING THROUGH THE ROPES AND TUMBLING TO THE FLOOR RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!
Rich Russillo: LOOK AT ANDREA VALENTINE! ANDREA CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE AND SHE GOES TO FLY AND SHE TAKES DRAKE KING CRASHING BACK DOWN WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL CROSSBODY!
Persephone: Why in the hell would she go and do that for? Does she ever really fly? What is she trying to prove? That she has no brains in that head of hers? Actually why in the hell do I care? Neither one of those idiots are moving. Now the referee is starting the ten count. COUNT FAST!
(Andrea Valentine makes it back to her feet and goes back to the announce table to get Ms. Extreme’s attention.)
Andrea Valentine: (off-mic) I hope you’re watching! King of Elite is just a week away.
Ms. Extreme: Right, and you’re out of your mind if you think that’ll be me.
James Peters: The referee has reached five on the count and Andrea rolls Drake back into the ring before entering herself. Now she is getting onto the second rope waiting for Drake to finally get back to his feet before she jumps again. A SECOND CROSSBODY TAKES DRAKE KING DOWN AND ANDREA VALENTINE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOO!!
TH–
Ms. Extreme: 🤦♀️ Of course Drake would kick out of that shitty pin. That wouldn’t even keep my shoulders down for one.
Myles: Really?
Ms. Extreme: Shut the fuck up.
Rich Russillo: As the conversation gets heated up at the commentary booth we missed a crucial moment that changed the momentum in Drake King’s favor. Andrea was going for a suplex or something like that, but Drake just dropped down and countered with a jawbreaker. Andrea stumbled back AND DRAKE KING WITH THE JUMPING KNEE RIGHT TO THE JAW OF ANDREA! ANDREA CRASHES DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: It’s great to see a blonde bimbo get exactly what she deserves. If only it wasn’t this greasy haired dripping weirdo. It could be my love Rexy kicking her ass and snatching that fake blonde shit out of her head so we can see her real hair color.
James Peters: Drake is electing to not go for the cover because he knows that the knee was not enough to put Andrea away this early in the match. That’s a smart strategy from Drake King. Instead, he chose to deliver an elbow across the throat of Andrea. Now Drake drags Andrea to her feet and whips her to the ropes. Andrea rebounds and Drake goes for a discus elbow, but ANDREA DODGES IT AND COUNTERS WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! ANDREA HITS THE ROPES ON THE FAR SIDE AND GRABS THE NECK OF DRAKE! BLOCKBUSTER ON THE WAY!
Rich Russillo: ANDREA WENT FOR THE BLOCKBUSTER BUT DRAKE STAYED ON HIS FEET! ANDREA STILL HAS THE NECK BUT DRAKE GRABS ANDREA’S NECK AND COUNTERS WITH A SWINGING NECKBREAKER! NOW DRAKE DECIDES TO GO FOR A NONCHALANT COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!
THH–
Persephone: Why in the hell did he lift her head off the mat? How ridiculous. Such a cocky and arrogant bastard. Doing what’s best for EAW? MY ASS! If he had EAW’s best interest in mind, he would have either ended this match quickly or not shown up. No in between.
Myles: Or he could quit. Nobody would mind that, except for maybe Ms. Extreme over there but that’s about it. Besides, Andrea would have kicked out anyway.
Ms. Extreme: 🙄
James Peters: Drake King picks Andrea back up with ease and slams her right back down to the mat. Drake is double Andrea’s weight and almost a foot taller than her, so the power advantage easily goes to the Redeemer. Now it is Drake’s turn to climb to the top turnbuckle. Andrea hasn’t moved and Drake goes to fly. FROG SPLASH ON THE WAY!
Rich Russillo: FOOT UP! ANDREA GOT HER FOOT UP AND DRAKE’S FACE AND MOUTH WENT RIGHT INTO THE SIDE AND SOLE OF ANDREA’S BOOT! DRAKE CRASHED AND BURNED RIGHT THERE AND ANDREA IS LOOKING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND WE CAN SEE NOW THAT DRAKE’S MOUTH IS BLEEDING A LITTLE FROM HIS MOUTH HITTING THE BOOT!
Persephone: Is that all the blood we get? OH COME ON! That is pathetic! A bloody mouth? Oh please. I hear bleeding and this is a total letdown. If someone is going to bleed, then bust them open. Come on people, it isn’t that hard. If nobody is going to listen to what I am saying, then end this horrible shit show.
James Peters: Andrea back to her feet as Drake King uses the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet. ANDREA CATCHES HIM OFF GUARD WITH A QUICK SCHOOLBOY ROLL UP! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! ANDREA GOING TO TRY AND STEAL IT RIGHT HERE!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOO!!
THHHHHRREEEEE–
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING KICKS OUT! BUT DAMN HE ALMOST GOT CAUGHT! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE QUICKLY BACK UP AND ANDREA GRABS DRAKE! ANDREA GOING FOR A BULLDOG, BUT DRAKE USES HIS POWER ADVANTAGE OVER ANDREA AND DROPS HER WITH A BACK SUPLEX!
Myles: I couldn’t care less what happens between Andrea and Camille at King of Elite, but it’s been pretty satisfying seeing Andrea get the upper hand against Drake. Too bad that couldn’t last.
Persephone: You both shouldn’t be talking about keeping promises and that shit. You both suck if you ask me. Now the bearded zealot is waiting for Nobody’s Fair Valentine to get back up to her feet. She landed on the back of her head so she might be more lost than usual.
James Peters: She did land hard so it is going to take her a second longer to get up. Andrea up to her knees and Drake hits the ropes AND CATCHES ANDREA IN THE TEMPLE WITH AN ENZUIGIRI! ANDREA FALLS BACK TO THE CANVAS! ANDREA HOLDING THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Rich Russillo:Drake King is proud of his handiwork as he brings Andrea back to her feet to inflict more damage! DRAKE IS PATTING THE FACE OF ANDREA VALENTINE! HOW CONDESCENDING CAN THIS MAN BE? HE’S NOW MOCKING ANDREA! LIKE HE THINKS HE HAS THE MATCH IN THE BAG?
Persephone: Do you really have to ask? Of course the greasy haired guy is a dick! Have you not noticed that the guy is dripping with insincerity. I’m surprised that Sierra stayed with him that long. Then again, Sierra is an idiot, so I’m actually not that surprised.
Myles: No, the true idiot is Drake King if he thinks using all those underhanded tactics like with those pictures of Minerva is just going to be forgotten about. All he is is an attention grabbing pathetic son of a bitch.
James Peters: Drake lets her go and fires off a superkick, BUT ANDREA DUCKS IT! HOLD ON DRAKE KING JUST CAME BACK WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK OFF THE OTHER SIDE CATCHING ANDREA RIGHT IN THE TEMPLE! DRAKE KING STOPS HER FALLING BY PUTTING HER IN THE HALF NELSON! DRAKE SWINGS HER AROUND AND DROPS HER WITH THE BACKBREAKER! CROWN OF THORNS DELIVERED TO PERFECTION! ANDREA’S BACK LANDED RIGHT ON THE POINT OF DRAKE’S KNEE! DRAKE THROWS HER DOWN AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRREEEE!!
Rich Russillo: ANDREA VALENTINE KICKED OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE! IT’S THIS DETERMINATION THAT HAS BROUGHT HER SUCCESS THROUGHOUT HER ENTIRE CAREER! DRAKE DOESN’T LIKE THAT ANDREA KICKED OUT SO HE ONCE AGAIN MOUNTS ANDREA AND IS JUST POUNDING HIS FISTS INTO THE SKULL OF ANDREA!
Persephone: I think everybody in this whole damn ringside area should clobber themselves with steel chairs. That would leave me alone and I can end this show or get new people at the table like my Sexy Rexy.
James Peters: Delusional as always, Percy. Drake King drags Andrea back to her feet once again and puts her in another half nelson. HE SWINGS HER AROUND AGAIN AND DROPS HER ONCE AGAIN WITH THE CROWN OF THORNS!
Rich Russillo: Andrea Valentine isn’t moving and Drake is dragging her over to the corner. Drake King climbs up to the top turnbuckle and basks in the glory of his supposed dominance in this match. DRAKE KING FLIES! DRAKE KING WENT FOR THE PHOENIX SPLASH BUT ANDREA VALENTINE MOVES AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT AND DRAKE KING CRASHES AND BURNS!
Persephone: That’s what that loser gets for showboating. Crowing to the crowd before trying for the Phoenix Splash. What an absolute idiot. He’s a former World Champion, so why the fuck is he doing shit like that?
James Peters: Small mistake by Drake King. He is holding his midsection because that’s where he took most of the damage. LOOK AT ANDREA! DRAKE STRUGGLED TO GET TO HIS KNEES AND ANDREA TAKES HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A BULLDOG! LOOKS LIKE ANDREA IS GEARING UP!
Rich Russillo: ANDREA YANKS DRAKE UP BY THE HAIR AND WHIPS HIM INTO THE CORNER! ANDREA IN THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND LOOK AT ANDREA GO! HANDSPRING ELBOW CATCHES DRAKE IN THE JAW! ANDREA WHIPS DRAKE INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER! ANDREA GOING FOR THE HANDSPRING ELBOW ONCE AGAIN!
Persephone: HA! It didn’t work this time! What is with these people making stupid mistakes? I mean I don’t mind if they do that shit because it means the match would
James Peters: DRAKE COUNTERED WITH A SLEEPER HOLD! DRAKE IS GOING TO TRY AND CHOKE HER OUT RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW! ANDREA TRIED TO GRAB FOR THE ROPES AND DRAKE IS WALKING HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: AT LEAST HE TRIED TO BUT ANDREA GOT HER LEGS WRAPPED AROUND THE ROPES FORCING DRAKE TO BREAK THE HOLD! INSTEAD DRAKE ADJUSTS HIS HOLD AND DROPS HER WITH A HANGING NECKBREAKER FROM THE TOP ROPE!!
Persephone: She should just give up. It’s almost over for that blonde bimbo.
Ms. Extreme: It’ll be over for her at King of Elite. Get your facts straight.
James Peters: POOR ANDREA TRIED TO MOUNT A LITTLE BIT OFFENSE AFTER THAT SLEEPER HOLD, BUT I THINK IT TOOK MORE OUT OF HER THAN SHE THINKS! DRAKE PICKS HER UP IN THE SUPLEX POSITION AND HOLDS HER UP IN THE AIR! STRENGTH BEING SHOWN BY DRAKE KING! DRAKE IS TRYING TO TURN HER AND HIT THE FALCON ARROW! HERE HE GOES!
Rich Russillo: ANDREA COUNTERED THE FALCON ARROW WITH A TORNADO DDT! DRAKE GOT SPIKED ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD AND ANDREA REGAINS CONTROL OF THE MATCH! NOW IT’S ANDREA’S TURN TO START LAYING FISTS INTO THE SKULL OF DRAKE KING! TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY! NOW THE REFEREE TELLING ANDREA TO OPEN HER FISTS!
Ms. Extreme: That was pretty impressive, but it’s really nothing I haven’t seen before. We all know how Andrea works by now, and she isn’t going to beat me.
James Peters: Andrea didn’t want to let go but she did. ANDREA WITH A KNEE TO THE THROAT FOR GOOD MEASURE AS ANDREA CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! ANDREA CALLING FOR DRAKE TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! I THINK SHE IS LOOKING TO HIT V-DAY! DRAKE BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND HE SIDESTEPS QUICKLY AND HITS THE TOP ROPE CAUSING ANDREA TO LOSE HER BALANCE AND LAND ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! NOT GONNA SPRAIN ANY ANKLES WHERE SHE LANDED!
Persephone: Well, damn. There goes her night job. The street corners just won’t be the same without her and her cheap hair color and cheap clothes. Now look at that! Greasy boy is back up to his feet and he is climbing to the top turnbuckle. Dumbass won’t raise his IQ doing shit like that.
James Peters: DRAKE IS TRYING TO TAKE ANDREA DOWN WITH THE SUPERPLEX BUT ANDREA IS HOLDING HER GROUND! SHE DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO NOT LOSE HER BALANCE BECAUSE IF DRAKE GETS HER IN THE SUPERPLEX, THEN IT COULD BE OVER! NOW ANDREA IS FIRING LEFT HANDS INTO THE SKULL OF DRAKE KING! DRAKE IS LOSING HIS BALANCE AND THERE HE GOES! DRAKE CRASHES AND BURNS BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! ANDREA NOW STANDING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS DRAKE IS SLOWING MAKING HIS WAY BACK UP. ANDREA WAITING FOR THE PERFECT TIME BEFORE SHE JUMPS!
Rich Russillo: V-DAY! SOMERSAULT SENTON CONNECTS WITH A DIRECT HIT! ANDREA GOT ALL OF THAT AND THE BACK OF DRAKE KING’S HEAD CRASHES HARD AGAINST THE CANVAS AND ANDREA HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER! THIS MATCH HAS GOT TO BE OVER NOW!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE!!
…
…
…
James Peters: HOLY SHIT!!! DRAKE KING KICKED OUT OF V-DAY!! HE KICKED OUT AND THIS AMAZING MATCH CONTINUES ON! ANDREA IS A LITTLE SHOCKED THAT DRAKE MANAGED TO KICK OUT OF ONE OF HER STRONGEST MOVES ESPECIALLY AFTER THIS TOUGH MATCHUP!
Ms. Extreme: :francis: Alright, I’ve seen enough.
(The camera focuses on the action as the people watching from home can hear a thud of a microphone hitting a table.)
Persephone: Look, the orange haired bimbo with a bad attitude has thrown off her headset and left the table. About fucking time. Now my headache can start going away. If only this match would end, so I can go home and ignore all you dumb fucks.
(Another thud is heard on the announce table as Myles leaves the announce table.)
Rich Russillo: Now Myles has got up from the announce table and he is making a dead sprint to the ring. To be honest I am surprised that both Myles and Camille held their restraint for this long.
James Peters: Andrea Valentine slowly brings Drake King back to his feet and she is going to try again to finish Drake off. She gets on the shoulders of Drake looking for the Atomic Blonde. ATOMIC BLONDE ON THE WAY! IF SHE HITS THIS, IT WILL NO DOUBT BE OVER! WAIT JUST A DAMN MINUTE! MS. EXTREME IS IN THE RING! NOW MYLES HAS ALSO ENTERED THE RING! MYLES WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE KNEE OF DRAKE KING AS MS. EXTREME YANKS ANDREA DOWN FROM DRAKE’S SHOULDERS!
Rich Russillo: THAT WAS BLATANTLY IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE! THE REFEREE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL FOR THE BELL! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT THE REF IS THROWING THIS MATCH OUT DUE TO THE DOUBLE OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The referee motions to Bella Braxton and tells her something really quick before going back and trying to break up the fights going on in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has informed me that this match has been officially ruled a NO CONTEST!
(The crowd boos at the announcement because they were enjoying this match very much.)
James Peters: Well, it sucks that it had to end this way, but I can’t say that I am surprised! The hatred between Ms. Extreme and Andrea Valentine as well as Drake King and Myles have reached fever pitches and now we are seeing it unfold before King of Elite is even here!
Rich Russillo: Andrea and Camille are throwing fists at each other! On the other side of the ring we have Myles and Drake trying to kill each other!
(The referee quickly realizes that they need more help, so he waves to the back to get more referees to help break this mess up.)
Persephone: Here come more stupid zebras out to try and stop this. If they didn’t listen to you guys before, why the hell would they listen now? Stupid idiots.
Crowd: (off-mic) LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
James Peters: The crowd wants more and they have certainly got more. Some refs are trying to get Camille off Andrea in one of the corners, but she sprung from the second rope and landed on everybody! The other refs are trying to separate the EAW World Champion from his challenger, but neither man is letting up.
(The referees aren’t succeeding in separating the fighters, so now security has been called down to try and stop this action.)
Rich Russillo: THE FIGHTS HAVE GOT SO BAD THAT NOW SECURITY HAS BEEN CALLED TO THE RING!. THERE THEY GO AND NOW ALL FOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEPARATED TO THEIR NEUTRAL CORNERS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE PEACE! KING OF ELITE HAS COME EARLY!
James Peters: It has and I hate to cut this off so soon with action still going in the ring, but unfortunately we are out of time for tonight. As always, I am James Peters, along with Rich Russillo and Persephone Tsitsipas…goodnight and we will see everybody at the King of Elite.
(The referees and security are continuing to try and separate these four from their respective fights as the crowd is still chanting to let them fight. As the four competitors in the ring are doing what they can to break free, Voltage begins to fade to black for the final time.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
