(EAW intro plays.)
(The camera shows a recap of last week’s Voltage, showing highlights of the night. Once the recap ends, the camera fades into the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida, where thousands of fans can be seen cheering in anticipation for tonight’s show. Pyro shoots out from the stage, before finally the camera pans over to the commentary table where Rich Russillo, Thadd Blazevich and Persephone can be seen.)
Rich Russillo: Ladies and gentlemen, WELCOME TO SUPER VOLTAGE: F*CK YOUR THANKSGIVING!!! I am Rich Russillo here with Thadd Blazevich and Persephone Tsitsipas, and if there is any night I am excited for, it’s this one!
Thadd Blazevich: Hell yeah, dude! Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrated, but this is what it’s all about! We have some serious matches coming tonight. Title matches, deathmatches, this show has everything, bro! We even have a Thanksgiving themed match!
Persephone: The only part of this I care about is the deathmatches, so the sooner we get to that, the better.
(Sunday Night Voltage immediately transitions over as the sounds of ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac begins to blare through the speakers of the arena. The crowd erupts into thunderous cheers as the camera goes over to the stage, as TLA is seen making his way out from the backstage area. He has a smile on his face as he hypes up the crowd, embracing the atmosphere here tonight in Orlando.)
Rich Russillo: We’re kicking off F*ck Your Thanksgiving tonight with one-half of our co-hosts for the evening. TLA is here tonight to welcome the crowd!
Persephone: And I’m so excited to hear what he has to say. Frankly, the only redeeming part is that Bethany isn’t here with him.
Thadd Blazevich: We have no idea where Bethany is, bro! Let’s just enjoy this moment while we have it!
Persephone: Sure.
(TLA’s theme comes to a close as he has a microphone in his hand, raising it up as he begins to speak.)
TLA: Orlando! Qué pasa?!
(The crowd erupts into cheers as TLA has a smile on his face.)
TLA: Orale, amigos! It’s so good to be here tonight, getting the chance to host the show! Got our professional voice on and shit, who’s excited?!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TLA: That’s what I’m talkin’ about! We got a good show for y’all tonight for real. Both the Unified Tag Team Championships and the EAW World Championship are on the line! And as much as I despise that vato Adam Lucas, hombre can put on one hell of a match and that’s one that you’re not gonna want to miss! Along with that we have Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifiers, Ultimate Opportunity matches, and so much more! We bout to get lit tonight!
(The crowd continues to feed off TLA’s energy as he goes on.)
TLA: And we traveling straight down the road to Road To Redemption, where yo boi gets the chance to wipe the floor with his co-host tonight and take home some campeonata to the Poon Palace. But along with that, so much more that you have every reason to be excited for. So let’s not waste anymore of dat tiempo, let’s get onto the show amigos-
???: Now hold on a minute.
(The crowd begins to jeer as Dr. Bethany Blue walks onto the stage and she has the Hardcore Championship wrapped around her waist. She snarls at the crowd, clearly used to the negative reaction she receives even though Florida is her home state.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I think it’s been well established that we do not agree on how Road to Redemption is going to go. You are NOT going to wipe the floor with me.
(Bethany wags her finger at TLA as she starts to walk down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I’m by far the greatest competitor on Voltage and even now it blows my mind that I don’t get the respect I deserve. Ridiculous. However, that’s not why I’m out here. I understand that everyone’s in a good mood. After all, we just celebrated Thanksgiving, but as I look around, I see a bunch of disgusting, out of shape, overweight losers who clearly ate far too much and are slowly killing themselves one piece of turkey at a time.
(The crowd is really letting Bethany have it as she climbs up the steps and gets into the ring.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Then again, I expect nothing less from people who clearly idolize TLA, who’s more or less the epitome of gluttony. Overindulgence comes in many forms and clearly TLA is in shape, but his lifestyle?
(She shakes her head.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: It’s bound to kill you sooner or later, TLA. You probably don’t care, though, seeing as how you have everything you could possibly want sans the Hardcore Championship and that’s not something you will ever get your hands on while I’m the champion. Now, with that being said, we do have a show to get on with. Quite frankly, I don’t find much about it interesting except for the main event. My husband will no doubt dispose of Jay Jerry Johnson rather routinely, and as for everything else?
(Bethany shrugs.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I couldn’t care less! I suppose the ‘Ultimate Opportunity’ match is worth a small mention considering the winner gets an opportunity unique to them. That could very well involve my Hardcore Championship since I WILL be retaining at Road to Redemption.
(Bethany smirks at TLA, who just shakes his head.)
TLA: It seems like my co-host here decided to be unprofessional as shit. But a hombre’s not gonna argue, not when we have a big ass show to look toward tonight!
(TLA glances at the crowd before looking at Bethany, smirking.)
TLA: I’ll just let the results do the talking. :mjgrin: Anyway… yo! We kickin’ shit off tonight with the match for the Unified Tag Team Championships! Vamos!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd cheers loudly. TLA raises a hand in the air before turning around and making his way back toward the backstage area, not even glancing at Bethany. The Hardcore Champion looks already annoyed and she shakes her head, before then proceeding to turn around and take her leave as well while the camera fades to ringside)
(Bella Braxton can be seen with a microphone.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING IS A TAG TEAM MATCH SET FOR ONE-FALL AND IT IS FOR THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!
(‘Burn in My Light’ by Mercy Drive begins to play as the crowd begins to boo relentlessly. Kai Rabeaux slowly makes his way out to the stage with a look of sheer confidence on his face, doing his best to keep his mind off of his future encounter with ToXXXin knowing the big opportunity that is in front of him.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK…WEIGHING IN AT 230 POUNDS…HE IS “THE FORERUNNER”…KAAAAIIIII RAABBBEEAAAUXXXX!
Rich Russillo: And what an opportunity this young elitist has found tonight! Two teams of lovers in the ring tonight, Kai Rabeaux has the chance for the ultimate romantic gesture here tonight!
(‘Juno’ by Sabrina Carpenter begins to play and Ashlynn Quinn emerges, smiling and waving at the crowd as she meets Kai Rabeaux on the stage. Her New Breed Championship is around her waist and she looks prepared for this match, as she and Kai make their way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS PARTNER…FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS…SHE IS THE NEW BREED CHAMPION…MIIIISSSS VOLLTAAGGEEE…ASSSSSHHLLYNNN QUIINNN!
Thadd Blazevich: Bro, what an opportunity for her tonight too! I mean, she could walk out of this match as a double champion! There is no chance that she’s going to let this opportunity go to waste!
(‘I2I’ by Magnolia Park then blasts throughout the arena and the fans begin to cheer. From the organ and blue smoke, emerges Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts, the Unified Tag Team Champions. The two look focused, staring at their opponents for a moment before beginning to walk down the ramp. They make their way down to the ring, high-fiving the fans as they go.)
Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENTS…AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 360 POUNDS…THEY ARE THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…REX MCALLISTER AND RAVEN ROBERTS…FIIIRRREEE ANDDD ICCCCEE!
Persephone: Ew, too many lovebirds out here.
Rich Russillo: Love is in the air, isn’t it tonight? You have to wonder which relationship is going to prove stronger? We all know that Rex and Raven are going to be entering chambers at Road to Redemption, this match is huge for their momentum!
(They get inside the ring and kiss each other. Kai Rabeaux and Ashlynn Quinn do the same before both teams settle in their corners. The referee then calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: The Unified Tag Team Championship match is now officially underway here folks! It looks like we are starting out with Rex McAllister and Kai Rabeaux! The two of them lock up in the center of the ring, already jockeying for the early advantage! Rex is able to slip behind his opponent! He tries to get him with the German suplex but Rabeaux breaks his grip and slides behind him instead! He tries to get the arm in position for the snap dragon but McAllister is able to counter with the snapmare! He then gets his opponent in the reverse chinlock!
Persephone: Rabeaux grabs the arm and tries to pull it off of him! He rises to his feet as he does…and then he breaks free with an elbow to the gut. HE GETS MCALLISTER WITH A FOREARM STRIKE! It hits hard enough to send him stagger back into the ropes! RABEAUX THEN TRIES TO RUN FORWARD AND KNOCK HIM OVER THE ROPES! McAllister is able to counter, sending his opponent up and over!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT BRO CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON! Rabeaux tries to grab onto his opponent…BUT MCALLISTER REPLIES WITH AN ENZIGURI! It catches him right on the side of the head! Rabeaux is now down on the outside and McAllister follows suit! He then grabs him and gets him into position for the belly to belly suplex…BUT RABUEAX COUNTERS WITH AN ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! He creates some distance between him and McAllister…before closing that gap with a running dropkick!
Rich Russillo: It catches him square in the chest! He then goes to pick him up and sends him back inside the ring! Rabeaux knows that a count out isn’t going to put a title around his waist! Rabeaux brings his opponent back up to his feet now! HE DRIVES A KNEE INTO MCALLISTER’S STOMACH! He then sends him into the ropes with an irish whip! OFF THE REBOUND HE GOES FOR A DISCUS FOREARM SMASH! McAllister ducks underneath and keeps building up some speed! HE NEARLY TAKES HIS HEAD OFF WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Persephone: And now look at this…he gets him in the Boston Crab now! Look at all the pressure that he’s placing on that lower back! I wonder if he might break Rabeaux in half here. That would be pretty funny actually…
Thadd Blazevich: And bro is now trying to get to the ropes! Rabeaux begins to crawl with McAllister on his back…AND HE GETS THERE DUDE! He manages to get his hand on the bottom rope and now the referee is separating the two competitors! That damage has been done already bro…Rabeaux rises back up to his feet! McAllister stays on him though, he rushes at Rabeaux…but Kai steps forward and delivers a superkick right to the knee! It drops McAllister down…AND RABEAUX FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! A brutal combination there! And it’s about to get worse dude…HE TAKES A RUNNING START AND LEAPS UP FOR A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Rich Russillo: BUT MCALLISTER IS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! He returns to a vertical base but Rabeaux stays on him! He drives him into the corner with another few forearm strikes! He then heads to the other side of the ring…BUILDING UP SOME SPEED FOR A RUNNING KNEE! But McAllister dodges out of the corner at the last second! Kai Rabeaux collides with the corner turnbuckle instead! And Rex grabs the arm..ELBOW SMASH TO THE HEAD! HE THEN DOES TWO MORE BEFORE DRAGGING RABEAUX INTO THE CORNER!
TAG!
Persephone: Welp, this ain’t good for Rabeaux here. Raven Roberts is now the legal competitor here! Fire and Ice look for the double team. Raven gets Rabeaux with a hurricarana… RIGHT INTO THE DDT BY MCALLISTER! Roberts hooks the leg for the cover!
ONE!
TW-
Thadd Blazevich: RABEAUX GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Before a two count too! But bro may regret that in a moment! Raven Roberts drags him back up to his feet…she goes for a t-bone suplex…BUT RABEAUX SHOVES HER AWAY! She comes back looking for a kick but he’s able to dodge it! HE GETS BEHIND AND SWEEPS THE LEG OUT FROM UNDERNEATH! As she tries to scramble back up her feet…HE GETS HER WITH THE PENALTY KICK! Rabeaux is fighting back here bro!
Rich Russillo: He grabs Raven and tries to head into his corner…BUT SHE TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A JUDO THROW! He’s on the opposite side of the ring where he needs to be right now! He wants to tag his partner in though…HE RUSHES FORWARD AND DODGES UNDER A STRIKE! He manages to get to the corner and makes the tag!
TAG!
Persephone: And here comes Miss Voltage now! Ashlynn Quinn leaps over that middle rope! SHE TAKES RAVEN ROBERTS DOWN WITH THE LOU THESZ PRESS! Damn, she is throwing some hands here…but Roberts is able to flip her over and get a few punches of her own! She then gets off of her opponent and heads to the ropes…LIONSAULT!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT QUINN IS ABLE TO AVOID IT! She rolls out of the way and Roberts lands face first on the mat! Before she can get back to her feet, Quinn goes full force with a gnarly running hip check to the side of the head! She then positions herself above her opponent…AND DRIVES BOTH OF HER KNEES INTO HER OPPONENT’S MIDSECTION! SHE THEN ROLLS BACK TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN! INSULT TO INJURY! She hooks the leg and looks for a cover!
ONE!
TW-
Rich Russillo: But Roberts is able to get that shoulder up! Ashlynn Quinn doesn’t look too surprised…she immediately gets back to work! She brings him back up to his feet and sends him into the corner with an irish whip! SHE MEETS HER THERE WITH A CORNER CLOTHESLINE! She then sends her back towards the middle of the ring! She then tries for that rolling blockbuster!
Persephone: BUT ROBERTS IS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH THE CODEBREAKER! Both of those knees are driven right into the face of his opponent! She immediately latches onto her leg, applying the knee bar! Not the place you want to be in if you’re Quinn. Roberts is applying a ton of pressure to that leg…practically tearing it out of its socket! Quinn is trying to get to the ropes…
Thadd Blazevich: But she can’t get there bro! Instead….SHE ROLLS ONTO HER STOMACH! SHE BRINGS HER FOOT DOWN HARD ON THE BACK OF HER OPPONENT’S HEAD! She manages to loosen the grip just enough to slide towards the ropes! She’s seeking some temporary shelter there! She tries to get back up onto her feet…but Roberts is on the hunt! SHE LOOKS FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD!
Rich Russillo: But Ashlynn Quinn is able to duck underneath it! SHE LEAPS UP AND DRIVES HER INTO THE MAT WITH A LEAPING MATTSLAM! She then quickly brings her back up to her feet, keeping hold of her head…AND SHE RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES! SHE LOOKS FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! But Roberts drives her elbow into Quinn’s skull! SHE THEN REPOSITIONS HERSELF AND SENDS ASHLYNN FLYING WITH A BIG T-BONE SUPLEX! She practically launched her with that one!
Persephone: Oh boy, things are about to get a little worse for Quinn as Roberts makes her way up onto the top rope! SHE’S STALKING HER OPPONENT HERE, WAITING FOR TO BACK ONTO HER FEET! SHE THEN COMES DOWN WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK! It catches Quinn right in the chest and it sends her across the ring…and right to the outside.
Thadd Blazevich: Well dude, looks like she’s not going to be able to capitalize on that yet! She instead follows Ashlynn Quinn to the outside! She picks her up and drags her to her feet! She throws her back into the inside! But Quinn keeps rolling through! She heads all the way back out to the other side of the ring! Roberts just looks annoyed at this! She circles around the ring…AND QUINN SLIDES BACK INSIDE! She tries to follow….AND SHE GETS AMBUSHED WITH STOMPS!
Rich Russillo: Cheap tactic there by Quinn but it definitely paid off! She was able to steal back control of this match! She brings her back up to her feet and lifts her up for a brainbuster…AND IT CONNECTS! Quinn wants to take advantage of this big opening here! She brings her up to her knees…AND THEN ROCKS ROBERTS WITH THE RUNNING KNEE! SHE SETS UP FOR THE NOSTYLIST!
Persephone: BUT ROBERTS DODGES THE KNEE…AND THEN SPIKES QUINN INTO THE MAT WITH THE HUNTRESS BOMB! Damn, an absolutely brutal sit-out spinebuster there. She hooks the leg and hopefully this match is over.
ONE!
TWO!
Thadd Blazevich: NO BRO! Quinn is able to get that shoulder up! Roberts looks frustrated but not all shocked here! She drags her back up to her feet and makes the tag back in for Rex McAllister!
TAG!
Rich Russillo: And now Rex is the legal man again! Fire and Ice are looking for another tag team combination here! Raven puts Quinn in position for the bulldog…AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT SEE THE FROSTBITE RIGHT HERE!
Persephone: BUT QUINN IS ABLE TO SHOVE ROBERTS OFF OF HER! SHE COLLIDES WITH MCALLISTER AND BOTH OF THEM STAGGERED! This gives Quinn the opportunity she needs I guess. She rushes back into the corner and makes the tag back in for Rabeaux!
TAG:
Thadd Blazevich: AND THE TAG IS MADE BRO! KAI RABEAUX IS THE LEGAL COMPETITOR ONCE AGAIN! He comes in hot…TAKING DOWN ROBERTS WITH A SUPERKICK! Rex McAllister tries to seek some vengeance with a yazuka kick but Rabeaux ducks underneath it! HE PICKS HIS OPPONENT UP AND DROPS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A MASSIVE HALF-AND-HALF SUPLEX HERE! Dude might just be about to cook here! McAllister looks completely caught off guard as he scrambles into the corner!
Rich Russillo: AND RABEAUX LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO THAT VERY CORNER WITH A SPINNING FOREARM STRIKE! HE CATCHES HIS OPPONENT SQUARE ACROSS THE JAW! McAllister comes stumbling out towards the middle of the ring, clearly dazed from the impact! Rabeaux RUSHES TO THE ROPES AND LEAPS UP ON THEM! HE THEN COMES WITH THE CRYSTAL KINGDOM CUTTER!
Persephone: BUT REX CATCHES HIM WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX! HE ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET AND GETS HIM WITH ANOTHER! HE ROLLS HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET FOR A THIRD TIME…AND GETS HIM WITH ANOTHER! Rabeaux has all that momentum torn away from him after that “vicious” display.
Thadd Blazevich: And now bro is looking for another submission hold here! He places him in a grounded sleeperhold now! Looks like McAllister is going to want his opponent to go to sleep! And you can see that Rabeaux is beginning to fade already here! He tries to crawl towards the ropes but my dude is struggling to get there! He’s got a full-ass Rex McAllister on his back! Eventually he reaches a point where he just can’t crawl anymore!
Rich Russillo: BUT ASHLYNN QUINN COMES IN AND BREAKS UP THE COVER! Raven Roberts immediately makes her way into the frey as well…knocking both of them out of the ring! Rex McAllister and Kai Rabeaux get back up onto their feet! McAllister makes a sprint right at him once again! HE LOOKS FOR A BICYCLE KICK BUT HE AVOIDS IT! KAI RABEAUX WAITS HIM TO TURN AROUND…AND CUTS HIM DOWN WITH A NORTHERN LARIAT! REDLINED! He hooks the leg and goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Persephone: BUT HE MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT THE TWO COUNT! Rabeaux might have hit him hard but clearly not hard enough! He looks dismayed at that…but he knows that he has to keep plugging away. He brings him back up to his feet…HE TRIES TO GET HIM INTO THE KINGSTONE PILERIVER!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT NO BRO! REX MCALLISTER IS ABLE TO REVERSE IT! HE THEN MANAGES TO MUSCLE HIS OPPONENT INTO POSITION! HE THROWS HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH THE FALLAWAY SLAM! McAllister manages to get back onto his feet now…and he stares down his opponent as he picks himself back up in the corner! HE MEETS HIM THERE WITH A JUMPING CORNER CLOTHESLINE DUDE! HE THEN LETS HIM FALL ONTO THE MAT…BEFORE GETTING THE STANDING MOONSAULT!
ONE!
TWO!
Rich Russillo: BUT NOW RABEAUX IS ABLE TO KICK OUT OF IT! McAllister looks annoyed but he makes the tag out towards his partner!
TAG!
Persephone: AND ROBERTS IS THE LEGAL COMPETITOR ONCE AGAIN! She makes her way up onto the top rope, looking down at Rabeaux as she makes his way up to his feet! SHE LOOKS FOR THE AERIAL ACE! BUT RABEAUX IS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! HE MAKES HIS WAY OVER TO THE CORNER AND MAKES THE TAG TO QUINN!
TAG!
Thadd Blazevich: And now Ashlynn Quinn is back in there dude! As Roberts is trying to get back up onto her feet…QUINN GETS HER WITH A RUNNING KNEE! Roberts crawls into the corner…and she’s in a seated position here bro! QUINN COMES WITH THAT BRONCO BUSTER! Looks like all the momentum is now in the hands of Quinn here folks! And now she makes her way up onto the top rope…looking to get some bigger offense in here tonight! SHE GOES FOR THE MOONSAULT DUDE!
Rich Russillo: But her opponent is able to avoid it…NO! IT WAS A FEINT BY ASHLYNN QUINN! SHE’S TEN STEPS AHEAD HERE! SHE LOOKS FOR A STANDING MOONSAULT! But as she goes to land it, Roberts brings up her knees! Quinn lands right off them, ribs getting hit with the full impact of her own move there! Roberts is able to find her footing faster here…AND SHE GOES TO THE ROPES! SHE COMES BACK WITH A SPRINGBOARD DISASTER KICK! IT CATCHES HER RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Persephone: Damn, that certainly knocked any of the sense right out of her. Roberts now brings her back up to her feet…AND GETS HER INTO POSITION FOR THE CANADIAN DESTROYER! She’s really about to destroy this woman for real.
Thadd Blazevich: BUT QUINN IS ABLE TO DUCK DOWN AND SCRAMBLE BETWEEN HER LEGS! She then delivers a kick right to the back of Roberts’ leg! She gets back up onto her two feet and makes the attempt at the lumbar check! But an elbow to the face from her opponent cancels those plans! Roberts turns back around and gets her with a massive kick right to the side of the head! Bro, she nearly hit him hard to take the whole thing off!
Rich Russillo: And now Raven Roberts wants to put this one away! The time for games is over here folks! Roberts makes the climb back up towards the top rope! I think we all know what might come next here! The crowd is cheering in anticipation…AND HERE COMES THAT SPIRAL TAP! RAVEN’S WINGS!
Persephone: OH DAMN! Ashlynn Quinn is actually able to move out of the way! She makes a hard impact with the mat here! Quinn rolls back onto her own feet, she sees the opening that was just provided here…AND SHE DRIVES A BESTIE SPEAR RIGHT THROUGH ROBERTS! SHE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
Thadd Blazevich:MCALLISTER DIVES BACK INTO THE RING AND SHOVES HER OFF THE COVER! He just made the save there…but now Rabeaux comes back into the ring! HE GETS HIM WITH A RUNNING FOREARM! HE THEN GOES TO TOSS MCALLISTER OUT OF THE RING…BUT REX KNOCKS BOTH OF THEM TO THE OUTSIDE HERE! And now these dudes are brawling on the outside! Absolute chaos seems to be happening here! Meanwhile, Quinn is getting back onto her feet!
Rich Russillo: She sees that Roberts is on her knees and she knows that she has a perfect chance here while McAllister is distracted! SHE MAKES A RUN TO THE ROPES AND THEN COMES BACK WITH THAT SPRINGBOARD ASSISTED CUTTER! BAD AND BOUJEE!
Persephone: But Roberts is able to simply sidestep the maneuver! She grabs the leg of Quinn and rolls her back to a vertical base! SHE THEN LAYS INTO HER WITH A KICK TO THE STOMACH…AND THEN SHE BRINGS DOWN ANOTHER ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD! Talk about taking back all the momentum here.
Thadd Blazevich: Roberts now puts her opponent in the guillotine choke here! She uses the body scissors to coil around like a serpent dude! This is going to be a very difficult situation to escape from…especially with what’s going on outside! MCALLISTER AND RABEAUX HAVE TAKEN EACH OTHER DOWN! Neither one of them seem like they’re going to stand back up anytime soon! Quinn is in a very dangerous position right now!
Rich Russillo: WAIT A SECOND HERE…SHE’S BEGINNING TO FIGHT BACK NOW! It looked like she was about to pass out…but now she’s trying to stand back up! SHE MANAGES TO BREAK OUT OF THE LEGS! Look at that! She then is able to inch close enough to the ropes to get the break! The referee is now separating the two! Ashlynn Quinn is given a few moments to recover here…but then Roberts gets right back to work! She gets her with another nasty kick to the stomach…before sending her across the ring with an irish whip!
Persephone: OFF THE REBOUND…QUINN GETS HER WITH A RUNNING KNEE…FOLLOWED BY A GERMAN SUPLEX! THE MACHINATION CONNECTS AND NO-
Thadd Blazevich: WAIT A SECOND! THAT’S CLAYTON GOLDE! CLAYTON GOLDE IS HERE AND HE’S UP ON THE APRON NOW! Ashlynn Quinn immediately heads over to tell bro to get out of here! The referee says the same thing…he leaps off the apron with a smirk!
Rich Russillo: AND QUINN TURNS AROUND TO FACE ROBERTS…SHE’S HIT BY THE TALON! CLAYTON GOLDE JUST MADE AN APPEARANCE, AND ONLY TO DISTRACT ASHLYNN AT THE MOST CRUCIAL MOMENT! Roberts hooks the leg for the cover now! McAllister grabs onto Rabeaux so he can’t get back in to break it up!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘I2I’ by Magnolia Park begins to play, and while there are cheers for Rex and Raven, the fans are not happy to see Clayton Golde, who is standing at ringside with a smirk on his face knowing that he cost Ashlynn. Rex McAllister scrambles back inside the ring to hold Raven Roberts’ hand high, while Kai Rabeaux recovers at ringside, staring at Clayton in annoyance.)
Bella Braxton: HERE AND YOUR WINNERS AND STILL THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…FFIIIIREEE AND IIICCEEE!
Thadd Blazevich: Bro…I can’t believe that just happened! I mean, Ashlynn Quinn and Kai Rabeaux were working as a solid unit out there! They put up a great fight against their opponents here…but it was ultimately the interference from Clayton Golde that put this match to a close!
Rich Russillo: Say that again. They were close to becoming the champions, both teams delivering excellent performances tonight! But Clayton Golde had to rear his head and distract Quinn tonight! Talk about sending a message here!
Persephone: Maybe she should’ve kept her eye on the ball.
Thadd Blazevich: Bro, we can throw around what if’s and what not’s all night…but all that matters really is the result here. Raven Roberts and Rex McAllister are still the champions!
(The camera cuts to Fire and Ice holding their championships high in the air and celebrating. Kai Rabeaux is helping Quinn back to her feet…both of them glaring at Clayton Golde who has a shark-like grin on his face. The camera fades.)
(Commercial for Stranger Things and the new season out on Netflix.)
(Moments later, we would return to the ringside area…)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: The winner of this bout will earn their spot in the Universal Women’s Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber… and it will be contested… UNDER DEATHMATCH RULES!!!!!!
(‘God Shattering Star’ by Takashi Baba would flood through the AP System, as the Floridian crowd immediately stood up on their feet. Marching through the curtains was ARIA; focused and determined, wasting no time for showboating. She had been at odds with her opponent for months, and now? She finally had her opportunity to put an end to all of the chaos and pain she had been put through, and not only that, she would be rewarded for it.)
(ARIA marched down the ramp, her eyes would close, basking in the atmosphere around her.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona… weighing in at 130 pounds… AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
(ARIA marched up the steel steps, before slipping into the ring. The former Specialists Champion made her way to the hardcam, looking to pose–)
(Before she was immediately, and intentionally cut off.)
(‘Let Me Hear’ by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas would play through the speakers, and that aforementioned roar would instantaneously transition into boos and jeers. Though, it wouldn’t bother Saori Aizen. The Reaper stepped through the curtains, slow and calculated, as if she were manipulating the energy around her to suit her own emotions; carrying herself with a calmness that ARIA was clearly lacking. Saori smirked.)
(She would walk down the ramp, displaying her cocky, egotistical mannerisms, wearing her heart on her sleeve – her gaze not once leaving ARIA’s.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent! Hailing from Tokyo, Japan… weighing in at 130 pounds… SAOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIII AAAAAAIIIIIIIIZEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
(Saori climbed onto the apron, before scaling the turnbuckles. Slowly, she lowered her hood, basking in the energy around her; the flashing spotlights highlighting her personality – chaotic, and dangerous. Saori would then slip into the ring.)
(Her theme faded out… the referee then called for the bell.)
(The two were ready for war.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Thadd Blazevich: We’re underway, brah, as ARIA swiftly rushes in to start the right! These two ain’t gonna be wrestling your daddy’s wrestling match, they’re out here for gore, and ARIA is trying to score first blood! Throwing haymakers toward Saori, backing her up into the turnbuckles – she’s relentless! Clearly has been waiting quite a long time to get her hands on Saori in this capacity, and now brosette is getting her payback!
Rich Russillo: Saori wasn’t expecting ARIA to rush in that quickly; she managed to get her block up just in time, she wasn’t caught completely off guard, but right out of the gate, ARIA is aiming to punish Saori! The Reaper attempts to shove ARIA back, looking to regroup here–
Thadd Blazevich: But here comes ARIA with a shotgun dropkick, sending Saori crashing into the turnbuckles at full speed! The Joshi great holds onto her lower back in pain – it’s clear that ARIA has already done some damage, and we’ve yet to even see a weapon introduced into this one, yo!
Rich Russillo: And I don’t think we’re gonna have to wait long, Thadd! ARIA grabs Saori by the hair and tosses her out of the ring; this match was never going to remain confined to the squared circle, we were guaranteed a brawl, a fight, a war outside of the ring, all over the Kia Center! Saori is scrambling to get away from ARIA–
Thadd Blazevich: But the former Specialists Champion isn’t too keen on letting her slip away! As Saori Aizen looks to reach under the apron, ARIA grabs her by the ankle and pulls her out closer to the ramp! Mounted punches are connecting on her rival, Saori is being overwhelmed right now, brah! Those hammerfists are not only radical, but completely legal in this bout! That’s right, folks; closed fist punches ARE legal!
Persephone: You know what’s better than closed fist punches?
Thadd Blazevich: What’s that, yo?
Persephone: Exploding barbed wire flaming steel baseball bat with a mounted machine gu–
Rich Russillo: I don’t think we’ll be seeing that one any time soon, Persephone.
Thadd Blazevich: But we may be seeing a bit of damage done, bro! ARIA grabs Saori by the hair, lifting her up once more, before running full speed–
**CRASH!**
Thadd Blazevich: Throwing her off the ramp into the guard rail!!!! I’ve seen some punks break bones from falls like that in this industry!!
Rich Russillo: Which makes that landing for Saori all the more worrying! ARIA didn’t hit her with an exploding steel flaming–
Persephone: Exploding barbed wire flaming steel baseball bat with a m–
Rich Russillo: Yeah, that – she didn’t hit Saori with an excruciatingly gruesome weapon, she simply threw her into the guard rail, and the height will do some damage!!!
(Crawling down the side of the ramp, Saori Aizen is holding her forearm, the steep height, narrow gap and unnatural landing clearly doing some damage to her arm, something that the Floridian audience seems to take great pleasure in, applauding ARIA and encouraging her to do more, akin to a Gladiatorial gauntlet.)
Rich Russillo: ARIA must have done some damage here, as Saori appears to be in quite some discomfort!!! She’s holding onto her arm, and it’s something we can see ARIA has already taken notice of; whereas Saori’s focus has already shifted into mending the damage before it leads to a serious injury!
(For that split second, Saori took her eye off the ball, and the former Specialists Champion immediately looked to capitalise; grabbing Saori once more, pulling her over to the steel steps. Gripping her damaged arm, she would place it between the steel steps and the ring post. Then…)
**CRACK!**
Rich Russillo: ARIA now kicks the side of the steel steps, perhaps shattering Saori’s arm; sandwiched between steel! That’s pure metal, guys, there’s no way to protect yourself from that!
Thadd Blazevich: I know how both those steps and the ring post feels, bro! Individually they’re incredibly painful, I can’t quite imagine how that would feel for Saori right now; though I know many of you at home will be shouting at your televisions saying she deserves it!
Persephone: I’m one of them by the way.
Rich Russillo: And maybe she does, Thadd; Saori Aizen has been a thorn in ARIA’s side for quite some time now and hasn’t planned on relenting! ARIA has been looking for a moment like this to fire back against Saori, and so far, she’s absolutely doing the job!
(Saori scrambles away from the steel steps, sliding into the ring, holding onto her forearm for dear life; she isn’t able to tell if the damage has been done to the muscle, the bone, or perhaps even both; the pain she is already in is unbearable, ARIA managing to cause – and exploit – an injury early on in this contest!)
(Meanwhile on the outside, ARIA would find herself reaching under the apron, looking to introduce the first weapon into the match…)
(Introducing the first weapon, would be a simple weapon, as she brings out a steel chair…)
(The crowd doesn’t roar in approval…)
(Until she flips it over.)
(Revealing thumbtacks have been glued to the seat of the chair.)
Rich Russillo: Oh my!
Thadd Blazevich: The slow realization of this building as she showed those thumbtacks, brah! I could hear a collective gasp! I have NO clue what ARIA is planning to do with that, all I know is, it’s going to be painful as all hell!
Rich Russillo: There are no good intentions that can be had with that steel chair, and Saori doesn’t quite notice what’s going on!
(ARIA walks up the steel steps holding the thumbtacks chair in hand, Saori’s back completely turned to her competitor. Rising to her feet, she would begin to turn around…)
(ONLY TO BE MET WITH THE STEEL CHAIR BEING SWUNG AT HER FACE!)
…
…
…
Rich Russillo: SAORI CATCHES IT! OH THANK GOODNESS; THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD! THUMBTACKS AND STEEL RIGHT TO THE SKULL!
Thadd Blazevich: CTE and blindness, brah! I wonder which comes first?
Persephone: I hope both at once. Then I hope we find a cure. Then I hope we do it again.
Rich Russillo: Saori is trying to wrestle that steel chair out of ARIA’s hands, the attempt to pry that lethal weapon away from her– but ARIA won’t give up! ARIA weeps the leg, before driving the backrest into Saori’s throat, applying pressure as she keeps her held against the ground!
Thadd Blazevich: She’s choking her out with that steel, bro! Worst part is, this would definitely qualify as a submission! If Saori tapped out here, that’d be the end for her in this match!
Rich Russillo: But I don’t think ARIA likes the sound of that! Of course she wants to win, but she’s not satisfied quite yet with the punishment she looks to inflict on Saori!
Thadd Blazevich: ARIA removes the chair from Saori’s throat, before wrapping it around her forearm! The thumbtacks are lightly digging into her arm, Saori is scrambling to get it off–
**STOMP!**
Thadd Blazevich: BROOOOO!!!!!!!!! ARIA LEAPS INTO THE AIR, AND STOMPS ON THE CHAIR; DRIVING THE THUMBTACKS STRAIGHT INTO SAORI’S ARM, AS WELL AS THE CHAIR PERHAPS CRUSHING IT EVEN MORE! SAORI IS WRITHING IN PAIN, BRAH!
Rich Russillo: ARIA HAS JUST BEEN TEARING SAORI APART, RIPPING HER LIMB FROM LIMB – PERHAPS LITERALLY – ALL THAT PENT UP AGGRESSION HAS BEEN STORED IN HER, AND NOW IT’S FINALLY TIME FOR HER TO UNLEASH IT ALL ON SAORI AIZEN!
(Saori Aizen continues to writhe in pain, scraping her arm out from underneath the chair. Slowly, she pulls herself back to her feet – where ARIA would be waiting, once more picking up the chair.)
(Saori would turn…)
Rich Russillo: OH GOD! ARIA THROWS THE CHAIR THUMBTACKS FIRST–
Thadd Blazevich: SAORI DUCKS! THE CHAIR GOES FLYING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, AND NOW ARIA CHARGES FORWARD!!!
Rich Russillo: SAORI SIDESTEPS!
**CRACK!**
Rich Russillo: AND ARIA GOES FACE-FIRST INTO THE STEEL CHAIR! THE THUMBTACKS PUNCTURED THE TURNBUCKLES, AND ARIA HAD NO IDEA! SHE JUST WENT CRASHING INTO THAT CHAIR!
(ARIA immediately slumps down to the mat, being unable to get her hands up in time to prevent herself from going head-first into the steel; she’d be lucky if she wasn’t concussed.)
(Meanwhile, Saori slowly begins to recover.)
(Holding onto her forearm, she uses the chair to pull herself to a vertical base.)
(Stumbling over to ARIA, with the chair in hand, Saori would lift it above her head, the blunt side facing down…)
Rich Russillo: Oh… oh lord…
(But… she stops…)
(Saori looks up. A sick, sadistic, twisted grin creeps up on her face.)
(…She flips the chair around.)
(The thumbtacks now face ARIA.)
Rich Russillo: OH… OH NO!!!
Thadd Blazevich: THIS IS GONNA HURT, BRAH!!!
Rich Russillo: SAORI SWINGS…
**CRACK!**
Rich Russillo: THE CHAIR FOLDS IN HALF OVER ARIA’S HEAD, THUMBTACKS ARE STUCK IN HER SCALP!!!! ARIA’S OUT; IN ONE SWOOP, SAORI AIZEN HAS JUST WON THIS MATCH!!!
Thadd Blazevich: INTO THE COVER!!!
OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
…
…
…
Rich Rusillo: HOW ON EARTH DID ARIA GET A SHOULDER UP????
Thadd Blazevich: You know we’re in for a grueling match when the first cover has us shocked, brah! These two are killing each other out here!
(Saori Aizen rolls out of the cover; perhaps not having the proper momentum to hook the leg due to the damage done to her arm – in frustration as she sits up, she looks to punch the mat, only resisting knowing that it would cause further pain. Gritting her teeth, she groaned.)
(REPLAY: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4Eatui9Y83o )
(Saori slowly rises to her feet, unravelling her wrist tape, desperately looking to relieve some of the pressure, even a little. As she goes to toss the tape, her head tilts over to ARIA.)
(Once more; an idea comes to mind.)
(Bending down, The Reaper begins to wrap the wrist tape around ARIA’s neck, making sure she has enough of a grip for leverage. Dragging ARIA over to the steel chair, she would slide ARIA’s head through it.)
(And then…)
Rich Russillo: OH GOD!!! SAORI IS… SAORI IS CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF ARIA! SHE’S PULLING HER BACK THROAT FIRST INTO THE BACK SUPPORT, STEEL CRUSHING HER OPPONENTS’ WIND PIPE! ARIA’S ARMS ARE WAVING, SHE COULD TAP OUT IF THIS IS FAR TOO MUCH, ESPECIALLY WITH THE THUMBTACKS IN HER BACK!!!
Thadd Blazevich: A SMALL DRIZZLE OF BLOOD SLIPS DOWN BROSETTE’S FACE RIGHT INTO HER EYE! THIS COULD ALL BE OVER FOR ARIA AS SHE’S IN SUCH A DANGEROUS POSITION RIGHT NOW, YO! I’M NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW SHE’S GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE!!!
(The life begins to fade out of ARIA, visible panic setting in more and more with each passing second; The Reaper attempting to choke the life out of her using the almost broken chair–)
(And then… she realized.)
(Escape wasn’t impossible.)
(The almost broken chair.)
Rich Russillo: ARIA IS FADING… SHE’S… SHE’S GONNA TAP!!
Thadd Blazevich: ARIA’S ARM IS IN THE AIR, IF THAT ARM DROPS, IT’S ALL OVER!!!
(And thus… ARIA’s arm drops…)
**DINK!**
**DINK!**
**DINK!**
Thadd Blazevich: WAIT! WAIT! BRO, WAIT! ARIA ISN’T FADING! SHE’S DRIVING HER ELBOW INTO THE FRAGILE CHAIR SEAT!
Rich Russillo: THE THUMBTACKS ARE SHREDDING HER SKIN, BUT THE ADRENALINE IS PAYING NO NOTICE; ALL THAT MATTERS RIGHT NOW IS HER SURVIVAL! SHE’S FURTHER DAMAGING THE CHAIR, OVER, AND OVER… UNTIL….
**SNAP!**
Rich Russillo: THE SEAT OF THE CHAIR COLLAPSES FROM THE LEGS, AND ARIA GOES CRASHING DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
Thadd Blazevich: SAORI STUMBLES BACK BECAUSE OF THE WHIPLASH; AND I’M SURE MAINTAINING THAT GRIP WASN’T GOING TO HELP HER FOREARM, EITHER!!!
(ARIA continues to catch her breath, as the slow realization settles in that the thumbtacks are all stuck in her back. The relief fades to an evident wince, her shoulder tensing up as she peels herself off the thumbtacks, gruesome and gory.)
(Meanwhile, Saori Aizen begins to roll out of the ring, looking to introduce yet another weapon. While ARIA recovers, Saori continues to scavenge under the ring, eventually finding a black plastic bag.)
(The crowd roars, thinking they know what’s coming.)
(But we’ve ALREADY seen thumbtacks.)
Rich Russillo: Saori now sliding back inside the ring, while ARIA has no idea what’s really coming! ARIA seems to be zoned out, having gone through a hell of a lot of pain just prying herself off the row of thumbtacks attached to that chair, nevermind elbowing it!
Thadd Blazevich: Yeah, bro, ARIA doesn’t know what’s awaiting her; and to be honest, neither do we! Usually bags like that mean thumbtacks but… surely we can’t be seeing even more, right?
Rich Russillo: I don’t think so, Thadd, that bag doesn’t look light! Saori placing it down alone makes me think there’s something bigger inside…
Thadd Blazevich: I guess we’re about to find out!
Rich Russillo: Is that…
Thadd Blazevich: Is that a plant pot?
(Saori rips the bag away, revealing a plant pot. Though inside…)
Rich Russillo:… AND A CACTUS!!!
Thadd Blazevich: This can only spell disaster tonight, brah! I have no idea how she’s going to use that, but I know it won’t be pretty!!
(The Reaper marches toward the detective, grabbing her by the hair– however, ARIA begins to fight back! She throws forearm, after forearm, after forearm, taking Saori off her guard!)
Thadd Blazevich: But she’s fighting back here, ARIA hitting the ropes, perhaps looking for ‘J4A’! –
Rich Russillo: DENIED WITH A SHOTEI STRAIGHT TO THE EYE! JESUS, ARIA’S HEAD PRACTICALLY WRAPPED AROUND SAORI’S HAND! ARIA DROPS TO THE MAT, AND NOW SAORI GETS TO DO WHAT SHE WANTS!
Thadd Blazevich: SAORI DRAGS ARIA TOWARDS THE CACTUS, STICKING HER FACE IN IT!!! ARIA ALREADY HAS BLOOD IN ONE EYE, HER OTHER EYE IS SWELLING FROM THAT SHOTEI!!! SHE CAN’T SEE TO DEFEND HERSELF!!
Rich Russillo: SAORI IS PRACTICALLY TORTURING ARIA HERE, AS ARIA WRIGGLES IN PAIN! THAT CACTUS IS PUNCTURING THE SKIN ON HER FACE–
Thadd Blazevich: BUT ARIA MANAGES TO ELBOW SAORI IN THE ARM, CAUSING HER TO RETREAT! THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FAR, FAR WORSE!
Rich Russillo: ARIA looks to recover now–
Thadd Blazevich: ‘THUNDERCLAP NOVA’ FROM SAORI!!!! ANOTHER HIGH IMPACT STRIKE DIRECTLY TO ARIA’S EYE, AS SHE NOW FALLS BACK INTO THE CACTUS!! HER BACK IS BEING PUNCTURED AGAIN, AND NOW SAORI SLIDES INTO THE COVER! THANK GOD THAT CACTUS DIDN’T BREAK!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRR–
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT FROM ARIA! SAORI ONCE AGAIN FAILS TO PUT HER DOWN!
Thadd Blazevich: But how much more can ARIA take??? That eye is rapidly closing, ARIA could be dealing with a Fractured Orbital Bone here, brah!
Rich Russillo: That wouldn’t be good no matter the outcome, win or lose, that could be damaging in the long term! If nothing is fractured now, she’s gonna have to protect that eye, otherwise, that can truly, TRULY be severe!
Thadd Blazevich: And I think Saori knows that, as she’s looking to end it here! She lifts ARIA up… hitting the ropes…
Rich Russillo: ‘RAIME HAKKE’!!!!!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: DODGED! ARIA LOOKING FOR ‘TRUE TO THE NAME’!!! FISHERMAN’S BUSTER–
Rich Russillo: SAORI SLIPS OUT OF IT! ‘CLOSING FRANTICA’!!! TOMBSTONE! TOMBSTONE!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: ARIA SPINS TO HER FEET!!!! ‘PHOENIX INJECTION’!!!!! HANDSPRING CUTTER!!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! NO! NO! SAORI HAS HER SET UP FOR ‘CLOSING FRANTICA’ ONCE MORE!!! SHE TAKES HER OVER TO THE CACTUS!!!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT ARIA LOWERS HER BODY WEIGHT, NOW **SHE** HAS SAORI UP FOR A TOMBSTONE!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT SHE DROPS SAORI DOWN TO HER FEET, HOOKS THE ARM; ‘TRUE TO THE NAME’ ONTO THE CACTUS!!!!!!!!
**SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**
Rich Russillo: THE CACTUS BREAKS, AND THE PLANT POT SHATTERS ACROSS THE RING!!!!!! SAORI’S BACK IS COVERED IN PUNCTURE WOUNDS BOTH FROM THE CACTUS, AND OF COURSE THE TERRACOTTA!!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: IT’S ALL OVER! INTO THE COVER!!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Thadd Blazevich: BUT SAORI MANAGES TO KICK OUT!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HOW ON EARTH DID SHE MANAGE TO POWER OUT???
Thadd Blazevich: SAORI ISN’T HUMAN!!! DESPITE ALL OF THE PAIN SHE’S IN RIGHT NOW, SHE MANAGES TO LIFT THE SHOULDER UP AND CONTINUE FIGHTING!!
(ARIA rolls out of the cover, swiping the hair out of her eyes – the left coated in blood, and the right swollen, perhaps fractured. Her vision is nigh unexistent, and yet, she persists.)
(She is determined to see this through.)
Thadd Blazevich: I have no idea how either woman is still fighting in this one, Rich, but the match isn’t over; and that means we’re going to get more violence!
(ARIA stumbles over to Saori, grabbing her by her dyed hair; pulling her to a standing base. At this point, all gameplan has been thrown out the window, neither Elitist has a clue what they’re exactly going to do in order to end this match. The one thing everyone can agree on, is guaranteed escalation.)
(ARIA throws a forearm straight through Saori, who stumbles back into the ropes, on jelly legs.)
(Saori throws one back…)
(But her arm is far too damaged.)
(She takes all of the pain.)
(ARIA throws another, Saori stumbles. Resting against the ropes…)
(ARIA charges…)
Rich Russillo: ‘J4A’!!!!!!!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: DENIED! SAORI SIDESTEPS, AND ARIA GOES TUMBLING THROUGH THE ROPES!!!
Rich Russillo: Saori stumbles to the middle of the ring, and she begins to clear her path! It’s clear what she’s planning on doing here, as she starts to charge…
Thadd Blazevich: SUICIDE DIVE, BRO!!!!!!!!!!!
**MINK!**
Rich Russillo: COUNTERED BY ARIA! A WRENCH STRAIGHT TO THE DAMAGED ARM OF SAORI AIZEN!
Thadd Blazevich: ARIA NOW BEGINS TO FOLLOW UP! SHE CONTINUES TO SWING THAT WRENCH AT SAORI’S FOREARM, OVER AND OVER AND OVER; IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT SHE CAN BARELY SEE, SHE KNOWS WHERE SAORI IS, BRAH! SHE’S TRYING TO DAMAGE THAT ARM PERMANENTLY, AND SHE JUST MIGHT DO IT!
Rich Russillo: SAORI IS ATTEMPTING TO ESCAPE, BUT IT’S NO USE! ARIA SWINGS THAT WRENCH ONCE MORE RIGHT INTO SAORI’S ARM, BOTH WOMEN STUMBLING BACK!!!!!
…
…
…
…
…
Thadd Blazevich: ‘RAIME HAKKE’!!!!!!!! THE KNEE STRAIGHT TO ARIA’S HEAD!!!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT SAORI LANDS ON HER ARM, AND IS WRITHING IN PAIN YET AGAIN!!!
Thadd Blazevich: MEANWHILE, ARIA’S MOMENTUM SENDS HER ROLLING OUT OF THE RING! LUCK MAY BE ON HER SIDE RIGHT NOW!!!
(Saori winces, slowly crawling to ARIA, just as she rolls out. A dissatisfied, and tired sigh escapes her lips. Thus, she follows her to the outside. Pulling her body weight with one arm, she drops to her knees on the outside.)
(Saori grabs ARIA by her locks.)
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) Kudaranē.
(She spits at ARIA.)
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) Itē daro?
(Saori’s hand then begins to slide underneath the apron…)
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) Jigoku e ochiro!
Thadd Blazevich: What the hell has Saori got in her hand???
Rich Russillo: Oh my God Thadd… THADD… THAT’S A WOODEN-HANDLED CORKSCREW WINDER! SAORI HAS IT BETWEEN HER FINGERS!
**STAB!**
Rich Rusillo: RIGHT INTO ARIA’S INJURED EYE!!! ARIA IS SCREAMING IN PAIN, AS SAORI MIGHT HAVE JUST TAKEN OUT THE LAST OF HER EYESIGHT! THERE’S NO HUMAN WAY SHE COULD BE SEEING WHATSOEVER RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: ARIA IS ROLLING AROUND IN FRONT OF OUR COMMENTARY TABLE, COVERING HER EYE, AS THE REFEREE COMES TO CHECK ON HER–
Thadd Blazevich: BUT SAORI REFUSES TO LET THE REFEREE CHECK! SHE SHOVES HIM OUT OF THE WAY, SLIDING THE CORK WINDER INTO THE RING, KNEELING BESIDE ARIA!!!
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) Jigoku e ochiro!!!!!!!!!
**PUNCH!**
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) Jigoku e ochiro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
**PUNCH!**
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) JIGOKU E OCHIRO!!!!!!!!!!!!
**PUNCH!**
**PUNCH!**
**PUNCH!**
**PUNCH!**
Rich Russillo: SAORI CONTINUES TO THROW CLOSED FIST PUNCHES STRAIGHT INTO ARIA’S EYE, THERE’S NO WAY SHE’LL BE ABLE TO SEE OUT OF THAT NOW, THIS HAS TO BE IT FOR ARIA! STRIKE AFTER STRIKE AFTER STRIKE, ARIA IS IN THE MOST DANGEROUS POSITION POSSIBLE! NO EYE SIGHT, NO MEANS TO DEFEND HERSELF, IN COMBAT SPORTS SUCH AS MMA, THE REFEREE WOULD CALL IT OFF RIGHT NOW; BUT HE CAN’T! THE REFEREE CANNOT DO THAT RIGHT NOW, HE **HAS** TO LET THESE TWO WOMEN FIGHT! HE **HAS** TO LET SAORI BRUTALIZE ARIA!!
(Saori then lifts ARIA onto her feet, before rolling her into the ring.)
(The Joshi Great rises to her feet, looking down at ARIA’s mangled, bloodied, bruised body; holding onto her own forearm, she can sense the end in sight. She can smell it. She can taste it. It’s in her grasp, and there’s no way that ARIA can pry it from her now. There’s no way ARIA has any energy left, there’s no way she has the eyesight to be able to even SEE her opponent, Saori KNOWS that this one is in the bag. She smirks… a chuckle escapes her lips.)
(She then kneels down beside ARIA.)
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) Such a pathetic, pointless human being. Nothing more than a punching bag for yours truly.
(She tuts.)
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) Isn’t that right, hm? Won’t listen? Can’t see? No bother. A small, fragile worm like you need not understand.
(A slap to ARIA’s face.)
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) Omae ni eigo o tsukau kachi nanka nē yo.
(Saori then stands up, turning around, as she scales the turnbuckles.)
(ARIA is out cold, lifeless, unable to see her whereabouts.)
(The match has been won by Saori Aizen.)
Rich Russillo: AND NOW SHE LEAPS…
Thadd Blazevich: ‘HORIZON OF THE CAPTIVATING SKANDHA’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Rich Russillo: ‘ARIA OF DESTRUCTION’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOUBLE LEG SCISSORS ARMBAR!!!!!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: SAORI IS WRITHING IN PAIN, HER INJURED ARM CAN’T HANDLE THIS, AND THERE’S NO WAY FOR ROPE BREAKS TO AID HER! SAORI IS STRUGGLING, SCREAMING IN PAIN, ARIA HAS HER LOCKED IN WITH NOWHERE TO GO!
Rich Russillo: SAORI CAN’T CARRY HER OWN BODY WEIGHT AND ARIA’S JUST USING HER TIRED LEGS; HER ONLY GOOD ARM IS LOCKED BETWEEN ARIA’S LEGS, ALONGSIDE HER BRUTALIZED, MANGLED ARM, WHICH IS ONLY MAKING THIS SUBMISSION HURT EVEN MORE!!
Thadd Blazevich: SAORI DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO – SHE’S REFUSING TO TAP, SHE’S REFUSING TO SUBMIT, SHE DOESN’T WANT TO LET THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY SLIP FROM HER FINGERS, BRAH! BUT WHAT ELSE CAN SHE DO? IT’S TAP OR SNAP, AND IF SHE HEARS A SNAP, THAT’S ONLY GOING TO MAKE THIS HOLD WORSE! THIS ENTIRE MATCH WORSE!!!
Rich Russillo: YET SHE ISN’T TAPPING! SAORI REFUSES! SHE’S SHAKING HER HEAD NO, PERHAPS SHE REALLY WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LET ARIA BEAT HER! SHE’S WRITHING IN PAIN, BUT SHE’S DISPLAYING INHUMAN DURABILITY RIGHT NOW! SHE COULD SUBMIT, IT’D ALL BE OVER, THERE WOULDN’T BE ANY FURTHER INJURIES, SHE’D BE COMPLETELY OKAY! WHY THE HELL IS SHE NOT TAPPING???
Thadd Blazevich: AND ARIA NOTICES THAT TOO! SHE NOTICES SAORI ISN’T TAPPING, AND SHE PLANS ON DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!
Rich Russillo: THE CORK WINDER!!! SHE GRABS THE CORK WINDER, BEFORE JABBING IT INTO SAORI’S MANGLED ARM! OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, STABBING SAORI AND DRAWING BLOOD!!!
Thadd Blazevich: MUSCLE? BONE? IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT’S INJURED NOW; BOTH PROBABLY ARE! ARIA IS TEARING AWAY AT THE SKIN AND FLESH, WHILE SHE’S USING HER LEGS TO SNAP SAORI’S ARM IN HALF!!!! THERE’S NOTHING ELSE SAORI CAN DO, THERE’S NOWHERE FOR HER TO GO!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DURABILITY CAN ONLY TAKE YOU SO FAR, AND WITH THAT CORK WINDER BEING USED TO GREAT EFFECT, SHE HAS NO CHOICE!!
Thadd Blazevich: SO WHY ISN’T SAORI AIZEN TAPPING???
Rich Russillo: WHY THE HELL IS SAORI AIZEN NOT GIVING UP???
Thadd Blazevich: ARIA HAS HAD ENOUGH! SHE STABS SAORI IN THE ARM WITH THE CORK WINDER, AND BEGINS TO TWIST! IT STARTS TO GO DEEPER AND DEEPER!!!
Rich Russillo: AND SAORI LETS OUT A BLOOD CURTLING SCREAM…
…
…
…
…
Rich Russillo: AS SHE TAPS! SAORI AIZEN SUBMITS! WE HAVE A WINNER, SAORI AIZEN SUBMITS TO ARIA!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND ADVANCING TO THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER; AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(‘God Shattering Star’ by Takashi Baba hits the speakers as the crowd roars into a sky-splitting cheer. ARIA swiftly lets go of her submission hold – in spite of her hatred for Saori Aizen, ARIA isn’t a monster, she was never going to hook it in for any longer than she had to. Rolling away, Saori Aizen continues screaming as the cork winder remains stuck in her arm, twisted into her flesh. The medical staff begin to tend to her, aiding in removing the cork winder.)
(As for ARIA; she’s barely moving. Her vision is almost gone, her face is covered in blood, yet beneath it all shines a smile brighter than all of the damage done to her face, superficial or not. The blood can be wiped away, but that eye is only swelling up further and further.)
(The medical staff would then tend to ARIA, aiding in lifting her up to her feet.)
Thadd Blazevich: What a match, bros and brosettes! What a hard-fought win for ARIA!
Rich Russillo: That blood isn’t just a staple of a hard grueling bout, that’s how much she pushed through in order to get this opportunity! Saori, too, fought til the bitter end, but she had no choice once all was said and done! No human being can just stop their bodies from submitting, once the pain is too much to bear, any and all Elitists would submit in that scenario.
Thadd Blazevich: It’s impressive how long she held on for, but at the end of the day, it was ARIA who pushed her to the edge! And now, she’s moving on to the Extreme–
(‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies hits the speakers.)
(The crowd would ERUPT, as the surprise appearance of Ms. Extreme would shock the entire arena, including ARIA. ARIA wasn’t expecting this to be how her night would end, and yet…)
(Out walked the Universal Women’s Champion.)
(Marching down to the ring with swagger, the Champion hopped up onto the apron. Without a care in the world, she stepped through the ropes, and marched up to ARIA, ignoring the blood and carnage, it didn’t matter if she, too, was coated in blood.)
(She had been there before.)
(ARIA stumbled, but stood her ground, staring daggers through Ms. Extreme in spite of the closing eye.)
(Ms. Extreme didn’t back down.)
(She would raise up her Universal Women’s Championship, as the two would stare holes through one another.)
(Ms. Extreme was watching nice and close up.)
(Scouting what these two were capable of.)
(She was only going to elevate it.)
(Moments later… the broadcast would fade out to commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for Road to Redemption, where the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the Universal Women’s Championship will take place.)
(The scene reopens backstage and F*ck Your Thanksgiving co-host, Dr. Bethany Blue is seen again. She has a microphone in her hand and a smile on her face.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Congratulations to ARIA, I guess, though she doesn’t exactly look like a winner to me. We all know she’s going to completely stink it up inside the Universal Women’s Championship Chamber but that’s not really my business. Also, who the hell let Ms. Extreme in the building? One Ava on Voltage is bad enough, but anyways. As for Fire & Ice retaining the Unified Tag Team Championships? Puh-leeze. I couldn’t be more bored of these two, but what business did Kai and Ashlynn have challenging for those championships anyway? I don’t think anyone is shocked to see them come away empty-handed even if the assist goes to… Clayton Golde :mjlol:.
(Unable to help it, Bethany laughs.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: FANTASTIC effort from the New Breed Champion and a sham of a 24/7 Contract holder! Now before we move on to the ‘Ultimate Opportunity’ match which is coming up next, I want to talk about Road to Redemption for a moment. It’s no secret that Road to Redemption is one of my least favorite events, but this year I plan to make a statement at that event. TLA is a Hall of Famer and I won’t take anything away from him and his storied career, but EYE have also had a rather decorated career. I’ve never shied away from telling the world that I’m the greatest professional wrestler in the world and with the toughness and tenacity I’ve shown as the Hardcore Champion has truly put me in a league of my own. Despite the absolute hellacious matches I’ve gone through to defend my title, I’ve never wavered. I don’t plan to waver either. TLA will be my biggest challenge to date, and it’s one I’ll overcome with the same grace and beauty that I’ve showcased thus far. I’ve taken the Hardcore Championship to an entirely different level and by the time my reign comes to an end, it will have gone down as the best one in the history of this championship.
(Bethany holds up the title and smiles at it, pride in her eyes. She gives it a kiss before placing it on her shoulder and she narrows her eyes at the camera.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I’m one of the few people around here who actually enjoys having a target on her back. I like being the hunted, though I’m far from a piece of prey. I won’t be so generic as to refer to myself as an apex predator but it’s hard to argue the fact that I have been the most consistent champion, across the board, of any division, in EAW. Put respect on my name and come Road to Redemption, watch as I put TLA in his place. All this started because he decided to make me collateral damage when he was going for my husband’s championship, and I was never going to let his actions go unpunished.
(Bethany, who sounds determined and confident, smirks once again.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Now let’s get on with the show! Candice Blair, Diego Montana, Chris Elite, NICK., and Cosmo Goldworthy are set to face off for what’s being called the ‘Ultimate Opportunity’. It’s anyone’s guess as to who will win this, but at the end of the day, I couldn’t care less. Throwing it back to you guys in the booth now.
(Bethany tosses her hair and walks out of the frame, and F*ck Your Thanksgiving transitions down to the ringside area and Bella Braxton.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING FIVE-WAY ULTIMATE OPPORTUNITY MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘RUNITUP’ by Tyler, The Creator ft. Teezo Touchdown begins to play in the arena here in Orlando, Florida as Cosmo Goldworthy comes out to a mixed reaction from the audience. He looks focused and ready as he makes his way over to the ring…)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM THE GOLDEN STATE…WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNDS…COOSSSMOOO “MONEY MOOOOO” GOLLDDWORRTHYYY!
Rich Russillo: We heard from Cosmo weeks ago that he wants his shot! That he wants to be a champion and make an impact this season and this match here tonight could be that chance that he’s looking for!
Persephone: HA! Let’s hope he falls on his face and slips on a banana peel.
(Cosmo enters the ring as his music fades off as ‘Kendrick, Clae & Cole’ by Marqus Clae blasts the P.A System as NICK comes out to a loud positive reaction from the crowd as he looks around before making his way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: NEXT…FROM DETRIOT, MICHIGAN…WEIGHING IN AT 215 POUNDS…”EL CASTIGATOR” NICK!!!
Rich Russillo: Someone who is new to the scene, NICK is already making his presence felt here on Voltage. He earned himself two victories, one against Ashlynn Quinn and another last week in a tag match!
Thadd Blazevich: Let’s see if bro bro can end up winning this match
Persephone: Bro Bro? Seriously?
(Nick enters the ring as now his music fades and ‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stella Cole begins to blast the P.A System as out comes Candice Blair who comes out to a thunderous amount of cheers. She makes her way down the ring looking focused and determined.)
Bella Braxton: NEXT… RESIDING IN MALIBU, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHTING IN AT 130 POUNDS…“PRINCESS” CANDICE BLAIR!
Rich Russillo: Candice has said herself she feels closer and closer to becoming a champion here in Elite Answers Wrestling and I believe her! She has worked hard this season and earning a Unique Opportunity would be something that would benefit her greatly and validate that hard work.
Persephone: YAWN!!!! I could finish a degree in how long it’s taking Candice to become a champion.
Thadd Blazevich: Now that’s not very nice of you broski.
( Candice enters between the ropes and steps into her corner as her music fades off. ‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke begins to play as Chris Elite makes his entrance and he comes out to a mixed reaction from everyone in the arena but Chris doesn’t seem to care all too much. He makes his way down to the ring… )
Bella Braxton: NEXT… FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK… WEIGHTING IN AT 210 POUNDS…HE IS “GAWD GIVEN GREATNESS”… CHRIS ELITE!!!
Rich Russillo: Things have definitely been interesting for Chris Elite as of late, between everything that’s going on between him and Minerva. The date they had went well all things considered so let’s see if professional Chris can earn himself this unique opportunity here tonight.
Persephone: Maybe that date with Minerva unlocked something in Chris.
( Chris enters the ring and stands in his own corner as his music then fades off. ‘COMO CAPO’ by Clave Especial ft. Fuerza Regida begins to play as Diego Montana enters the arena with the crowd booing the hell out of him. Diego makes his way to the ring, very cocky and arrogant as someone like him is… )
Rich Russillo: Diego makes his way down to the ring and we all saw what he was saying last week while trying to spit some game towards Eden Sinclair. He was complaining about having to be in this match, competing against more than one person calling it a ridiculous idea.
Thadd Blazevich: Bro does not want the smoke.
( Diego soon enters the ring as his music fades off and the referee signals for the bell! )
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: The bell rings for this match as we are underway here for this Ultimate Opportunity Match as Cosmo is in one corner, with Candice, Chris, and NICK covering all the other corners! Diego rolls out immediately letting everyone else go into battle as–CHRIS ELITE STRAIGHT OUT THE GATE LANDS A DISCUS LARIAT TO COSMO!!! HE SENDS COSMO OVER THE TOP ROPE TO BEGIN THIS MATCH!!!
Thadd Blazevich: SHRED IT, DUDE!! Cosmo is on the outside as Chris runs from the ropes and back and lands a Suicide Dive– BUT COSMO LANDS A JUMPING KNEE AS CHRIS WAS HEADING TOWARDS HIM!! COSMO AND CHRIS BROS ARE NOW DUKING IT OUT ON THE OUTSIDE AS THE NEWCOMER NICK AND CANDICE BLAIR SHARE A LOOK BEFORE GETTING INTO A COLLAR-ELBOW TIE-UP!
Persephone: Candice is going to have Nick in her learning tree or something.
Rich Russillo: I wouldn’t say all that but Candice did show Nick some respect from when they teamed up last week as now NICK grabs a hold of Candice by the neck and is jabbing right on top of her head, the strikes that he learned from the streets of Detroit. He manages to take Candice down to the ground looking to land some heavy grounded shots to Candice in the early goings of the match!
Thadd Blazevich: Candice manages to get out and now she grabs a hold of NICK’s wrist and is going for some well lit Joint Manipulation in the early goings of this match, trying to detort the arm of NICK, trying to weaken Brodie’s arm BUT LOOK– Diego gets back into the ring looking to nail his first shot in the match but Candice catches Diego with a right hook as he goes down as Candice goes right back into distorting the arm of NICK!
Persephone: You idiots are too focused on what’s going on inside the ring as in the outside Chris and Cosmo are still going at it as Cosmo sends Chris right into the barricade– BUT CHRIS LANDS ON TOP OF THE BARRICADE AND LANDS A MOONSAULT TO COSMO!!! Chris heads back into the ring.
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite dives onto Candice and goes for a quick cover attempt!! Candice’s shoulders are on the mat as the referee makes the count!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Thadd Blazevich: Candice Bronette gets the shoulders up at ONE and– NOW DIEGO COMES BACK INTO THE RING CATCHES CHRIS WITH A CRUFIX PIN AND NOW HIS SHOULDERS ARE DOWN ON THE MAT AS THE REFEREE MAKES THE COVER HERE!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Persephone: That bozo thought that was it. Chris Elite kicks out as– NOW CANDICE CATCHES BOTH CHRIS AND DIEGO AS SHE TAKES BOTH TO THE GROUND AND COVERS ON TOP OF THEM AS NOW SHE’S TRYING TO STEAL THE WIN HERE!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Rich Russillo: Both Nick and Diego kick out as they both quickly get up as all three competitors alongside NICK are getting back up are nailing punches and forearms to each other in the middle of the ring, what a hot start to kick off this–
Thadd Blazevich: DIVING CROSSBODY FROM COSMO!! HE TAKES EVERYONE OUT AS THE CROWD HERE IN ORLANDO FLORIDA IS GOING ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!! COSMO TAKES EVERYONE OUT AS HE NOW TARGETS NICK AND LIFTS HIM FOR– AND IMPLANT DDT!! IT CONNECTS AS NOW COSMO GOES FOR THE COVER!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOO!
Persephone: NICK gets his shoulders up as Cosmo now takes control of this match with Candice, Chris, and Diego rolling to the outside! Cosmo has Nick in a Gullitone Choke!! Maybe that rookie NICK just passes out now and the match just ends.
Rich Russillo: That would be a really deflating way to end this match, it’s already started hot can’t the heat be turned off now as NICK is throwing elbows to the stomach of Cosmo, looking to get out of this predicament. He doesn’t want to stay too long in that guillotine choke
Thadd Blazevich: For sure bro, as— NICK GETS OUT OF THE GULLITONE AND GOES RIGHT INTO A DOUBLE LEG TAKING COSMO DOWN TO THE GROUND!!
Persephone: Got the same level of a double leg takedown as Corey Cunningham.
Rich Russillo: Nick now has Cosmo in mounted positions and is nailing some great punches to the skull of Cosmo, really nailing on him and—
Thadd Blazevich: LOOK, BRO! Diego bro comes back into the match and lands a basement dropkick to the back of NICK!
Rich Russillo: The crowd is booing heavily as Diego grabs a hold of Nick and lands a Jumping Knee right into his face and follows it up with a Back Bodydrop!!!! Diego goes for the cover here!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOO!
Thadd Blazevich: Nick bro gets his shoulders up as now Diego has Nick in a headlock, trying to make him be worn down for the rest of the match as–
Rich Russillo: CHRIS ELITE COMES RIGHT IN WITH A DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE TO BOTH NICK AND DIEGO!!! HE TAKES BOTH OF THEM OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY AS HE NOW HAS HIS ATTENTION TOWARDS COSMO WHO IS STILL LAID OUT IN THE RING!
Persephone: Both Diego and Nick roll out as Chris picks up Cosmo into a fireman’s carry and—
Rich Russillo: MOMENT OF CLARITY! FIREMANS CARRY DROPPED INTO A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!! Chris goes for the cover on Cosmo as the referee makes the count!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOO!
Thadd Blazevich: COSMO KICKS OUT! Cosmo bro wasn’t going to go down that easily as Chris Elite now has Cosmo in a headlock in the middle of the ring.
Persephone: GREAT! More headlocks just what we needed here.
Rich Russillo: Can’t hate on Chris for being at the advantage here in the early goings of the match as he continues to stench in that headlock looking to make Cosmo pass out or tap out here tonight!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT LOOK, BRO! Cosmo is fighting back, nailing some elbows to Chris Elite and he’s able to get out of it! Cosmo runs from the ropes and back—
Persephone: Only to be nailed with a Snooze Uppercut! Chris takes Cosmo down to the ground hard and—
Rich Russillo: CANDICE BLAIR COMES BACK IN AND THIS TIME SHE HAS A CHAIR!! SHE STRUCK CHRIS WITH THE EDGE OF THE CHAIR RIGHT INTO HIS STOMACH!! CHRIS KNEELS WITH ONE AS NOW CANDICE LANDS A CHAIR SHOT RIGHT ON CHRIS’S BACK!!!

Persephone: How embarrassing for Candice

Persephone: This time it’s Diego Montana as he drags Cosmo by his legs and brings him to the outside as once again these two are brawling with each other!! Lefts and rights are being thrown by both sides!
Rich Russillo: NICK inserts himself in with a RUNNING DOUBLE AXE HANDLE OFF THE APRON! HE TAKES BOTH OF THEM OUT AS HE STARTS LOCKING IN A BOSTON CRAB STRETCH TO DIEGO MONTANA! HE’S WEARING OUT THE HIGH-KEY NEW BREEDER, LOOKING TO MAKE HIS LEGS WEAKEN FOR THE REST OF THE MATCH!!

Thadd Blazevich: BUT CHRIS DODGES IT NAILS A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE RIGHT INTO CANDICE’S FACE!! CANDICE IS DAZED RIGHT NOW AS CHRIS HOPES ON THE BARRICADE AND— LANDS A MOONSAULT OFF IT!!!
Persephone: Doing anything to impress the huzz or whatever he got going on with Minerva.
Rich Russillo: Chris drags Candice back into the ring as he now goes under the ring, looking for something and you have to wonder what that could be.
Thadd Blazevich: You don’t have to wonder any longer broski as Chris Elite pulls out a Knife!!! Maybe that was a knife used to carve the turkey.
Persephone: Chris enters the ring with a knife in hand, looking to stab Candice, YES DO IT!!!

Persephone: Baldy isn’t going back into the ring though, he’s looking for something underneath and hopefully it isn’t something that’s going to slash him like that knife that he brought in before…

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…NICK!!!
( ‘Kendrick, Clae & Cole’ by Marqus Clae begins to play as NICK has won this match. Chris Elite who is one the outside looks quite angry that the win was stolen from him by the newcomer! Nick get his hand raised with the crowd in the arena cheering heavily for NICK… )
Rich Russillo: WHAT A MATCH THAT WAS! Everyone laid it all on the line and at the end it was NICK who ended up tossing Chris over and getting the pinfall win over Diego Montana!!
Thadd Blazevich: Unfortunate result for Chris but a great win for NICK as– OH WHAT THE HELL BRO???
Rich Russillo: CHRIS ELITE JUST STORMED BACK INTO THE RING AND IS ATTACKING NICK!!! HE IS ANGRY WITH THE RESULT AND IS ANGRY THAT NICK TOOK ADVANTAGE AND TOSSED HIM OUT!!!
( NICK’s music would cut out as the bell rings multiple times as the crowd in the arena are mixed/negative about this attack!! More referees come out to stop Chris who now leaves the ring angry… )
Thadd Blazevich: Chris took his frustrations out on NICK bro but that isn’t going to change what the result of this match was and that’s NICK winning and earning himself a unique opportunity.
Persephone: yea that isn’t going to change shit but thank god this match is over and done with.
( The final shot sees Chris making his way to the stage and to the back angry at the result as we see the other competitors laid out in and around the ring as F*ck Your Thanksgiving continues forward. )
(Commercial for Pringles with Jake Smith.)
(The camera returns to ringside.)
(“Lowlife Princess” by BIBI hits as we return from commercial, to a wave of boos from the audience! Miku Sakai walks out onto the stage, ignoring the reactions and doing her usual theatrics as if none of it is happening.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: AND IT IS A THANKSGIVING DAY MASSACRE MATCH!!! WITH THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH GOING ON TO QUALIFY FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION!!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing from Fukui, Japan, weighing in at 110 pounds… THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE… MIKUUUU SAKAAAAAIIII!!!
Rich Russillo: Welcome back to Sunday Night Voltage everybody! The Thanksgiving celebrations do not end here as we have a Thanksgiving Day Massacre Match on the horizon here! We hope you had a great time for the holidays, and we’re excited to bring you the best product we can imagine as always!
Thadd Blazevich: Duuudeee Thanksgiving at the frat was an absolute movie!! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!
Persephone: The frat? Are you not like… old as fuck??
Thadd Blazevich: C’mon sis. I’m only 31. Just entering my prime years.
Persephone: I mean I guess dude, but you got no reason to be hanging around frats or whatever.
Thadd Blazevich: It’s a good time, I promise you. You ever tried out turkey edibles? Oh dude, I gotta put you on game, maybe there’s still leftovers, I can take you after the show if you’d like sis?
Persephone: This might be the worst proposal to a date I’ve ever gotten. Go kill yourself.
Thadd Blazevich: :wtf:
Rich Russillo: Anyhow… big, big matchup about to kick off here. This is as much a grudge match as it is a qualifier match. These two have had some bad blood brewing for months and they’re looking to blow off some steam here. Miku’s pissed as always, Cody’s quite agitated himself. These two gotta vent out all of their frustrations in the ring!
(Miku’s made it inside of the ring, posing on the turnbuckle, as “Kostas” by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine & Benny the Butcher replaces her theme song and out walks Cody Maverick to a massive ovation from the audience!)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent…. From Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds… THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAAARRRR…. COOO…DDYYYYYYY!!! MAVEEERIICCKKKK!!
Crowd: YEAH!!
Thadd Blazevich: Cody Maverick; former National Elite Champion, and two months ago the leader of Voltage’s Brand Warfare team which also included Miku Sakai! Since then, things have imploded, as under Cody’s leadership they would not only lose in Brand Warfare, but also come up short against the War Games team consisting of Drake Armstrong, Kai Rabeaux, and Hans Grayson at Wicked Games. Tensions have only grown since then, bros, with many, many shenanigans between these two!
(Cody poses in the corner as the crowd adorates him in cheers. Then, as he gets down, “Kostas” fades out, and the referee signals for the bell to ring.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: And here we go! It’s off to the brakes right away as Miku Sakai and Cody Maverick both head straight to the middle of the ring and start butting heads!
Thadd Blazevich: Talkin’ trash before even laying a punch. You know things have been brewing for a while between these two!
Persephone: Butting heads is saying a lot. Cody is like an entire inch taller than Miku. He’s gonna give himself back issues if they keep going at this.
Thadd Blazevich: And speaking of size differences bro, Miku had enough and tried to push Cody, but bro is a little too big for Miku.
Persephone: But Cody isn’t backing away. He pushed Miku back, and she fell right on her ass! :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: She doesn’t seem happy about that at all, though. She gets right back up and charges with a dropkick!
Thadd Blazevich: It’s Cody moving out of the way tho! Now he’s running off the ropes, getting some momentum before aiming for a lariat!
Rich Russillo: Oh wow! It’s Miku ducking under now! She giggles at Cody who fell on his knees from the momentum, before running off the ropes herself and hitting a Basement Dropkick! This one connects, and it’s Miku getting the advantage early on! Let’s not forget, there’s an Extreme Elimination Chamber spot on the line here; one of these two will be competing for the EAW World Championship at Road To Redemption.
Persephone: And Miku isn’t looking to wait much longer, she heads to ringside and takes a couple of empty plates from a nearby table.
Thadd Blazevich: Back in the ring now, and Miku’s got a hold of a plate that— OW! SHE JUST SMASHES OVER CODY MAVERICK’S BACK, BREAKING IT IN PIECES!! AND SHE’S NOT DONE!! SHE’S TAKING ANOTHER PLATE, JUST SMACKING IT ACROSS BRO’S BODY!!
Persephone: Wow! This is pretty creative for once. For the first time ever, Miku Sakai isn’t cancerous to watch as she just keeps on breaking all of those plates!
Rich Russillo: All of these plates being broken on Cody’s back created a pool of shards surrounding the area. And Miku is almost salivating seeing this, as she grabs him up, and gets him in position for a snap suplex!
Thadd Blazevich: Cody though, he’s trying to power his way out of that and he just might be able to! His feet are planted really well into the mat so Miku can’t get him up at all! Now he’s throwing some punches at Miku’s gut so that he can finally break free.
Rich Russillo: And break free he indeed does! Now these two are back-and-forth clobbering at each other! It’s Miku! Cody! Miku! Cody!
Thadd Blazevich: Oh nah! Cody got a big forearm in and that’s enough to daze Miku! What’s this now?! He’s tryna lift her up!
Persephone: WOW!! The former National Elite Champion just powerbombed Miku back first onto those shards! And he goes for the cover!!
ONE!!
TWOOO!!
Rich Russillo: BUT MIKU GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Thadd Blazevich: Cody’s head is still in the game though, he probably expected that to happen since we just got started, as he’s going right back to the offense, dragging Miku back to her feet and taking the fight to the corner!
Rich Russillo: Maverick is punching at Miku’s jaw, looking to do more damage to open up another big maneuver here. He’s in complete control now, climbing onto the second rope to the crowd’s ovation, and he keeps on clobbering the head of Sakai!
Crowd: ONE!! TWO!!!! THREE!! FOUR!! FIVE!! SIX!! SEVEN!! EIGHT!! NINE—
Thadd Blazevich: But look at that bro! Miku slides under the last punch and— WHOA!! SHE JUST PUNCHED CODY IN HIS MAVERICKS!!
Rich Russillo: And remember, that is completely allowed in this anything goes, Thanksgiving-themed matchup!
Persephone: That ugly-head won’t be having kids anytime soon it seems, likely for the best. On top of the blow to his balls, Maverick finds himself collapsing back-first to the mat as well, punctured by some of the shards as well as blood starts pouring from his back. I could only assume Miku’s back is all bloody as well, but her back’s all covered up. Likely for the best in a match like this one.
Rich Russillo: It’s Miku Sakai now making the climb to the top rope, possibly looking to finish this one off with her signature “Walk of Shame”? She’s waiting for the opportunity, seizing Cody as he gets back up on his feet…
Thadd Blazevich: BUT LOOK AT THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR BRO! He was playing possum, not even giving Miku a second to react! The second he got back to his feet, he went sprinting straight to the turnbuckle!
Persephone: And Cody now… using the momentum to his advantage AS HE HOOKS MIKU SAKAI’S ARM OVER HIS NECK, DELIVERING A SUPERPLEX RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, RIGHT ONTO THOSE BROKEN PLATES!!
Rich Russillo: Though it seems Cody has also damaged himself in the process, as he cannot find the energy in him to make the cover!
Persephone: Yeah, the idiot did not think he would damage himself in the process as well, and how he’s paying the price as they both got the brunt of that move, laying collapsed across from each other.
Thadd Blazevich: I doubt he didn’t think it through, you got no idea the effects adrenaline has on somebody. It makes you a tough ass dude.
Persephone: I guess? Doesn’t make him any less stupid.
Rich Russillo: People can do crazy things when running on adrenaline, this is just another example. Look out now, both of them have begun crawling to opposite corners,
Persephone: And it’s Cody who is back on his feet first. Miku is still a little out of it, which gives Cody an opening if he can recover quick enough.
Thadd Blazevich: And the Sin City Superstar takes advantage of that opening! Aiming for a big boot to the face of Miku Sakai, BUT MIKU WAS PLAYING POSSUM!! SHE JUST TRIPPED CODY FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE, AND NOW IT’S THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION WITH THE ADVANTAGE!
Persephone: Oh lovely, Miku is getting creative again, putting this match on her back. She looks at one of the tables filled with foods… and it’s like a lightbulb just started shining above her head!
Rich Russillo: Miku just grabbed a pie. What the hell is she trying to do?!
Thadd Blazevich: Oh nah, her ass is taking a perfectly delicious sweet potato pie, and just threw it on Cody’s lap without regard! But she ain’t done! Now she grabs a chocolate pie and puts it on top of Cody, now a pumpkin pie!
Persephone: Giving him a mix of all flavors, as she got the apple pie too! Cody’s got a fuckton of pies stuck to him making him all sticky! Hold on… Miku’s charging in now…
Rich Russillo: MUSTACHE RIDE!! MIKU WITH THE BRONCO BUSTER MAKING ALL THE PIES EXPLODE IN THE PROCESS!!
Thadd Blazevich: SHE’S IN THERE HUMPING CODY MAVERICK! YOO!!
Persephone: No way you could not find a better word, :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Well… that’s technically what she’s doing. And she’s not done with Cody here, who’s just full of pie pieces and sticky everywhere!
Persephone: Oh yes, you little freak. Miku now, teasing the stinkface to the crowd’s dismay!! YES!!! WHATEVER THE FUCK SHE CALLED THIS THING!!!
Thadd Blazevich: It’s the Sweet Cheek Music!! At this point Miku is completely rubbing it in Cody’s face, quite literally! You can see her laughing as she’s dragging her backside across the Sin City Superstar’s face!
Rich Russillo: And it seems Miku wants to put some proper finishing touches on this one, preferring not to go for a cover. She’s heading towards a freezer now, what the hell does she have in mind…
Thadd Blazevich: Bro!! Is that a frozen turkey?!
Rich Russillo: Sure is. This is a unique weapon, but it’s one that’s bound to get some damage in. Miku’s back in the ring now, sizing up Maverick…
Persephone: Fuck your Thanksgiving and your turkey! Cody had enough time to recover, and he just nailed Miku across the face with the “Lights Out” Superman Punch!! It’s Cody Maverick with the advantage now.
Rich Russillo: And he just shrugs off the weirdness of using a turkey as a weapon, and just goes ahead and takes his shot as Miku is slowly crawling up to her foot using the ropes to her advantage!
Thadd Blazevich: CODY MAVERICK WITH A FROZEN TURKEY STRAIGHT TO THE DOME OF MIKU SAKAI!! SHE’S BUSTED OPEN AFTER THIS ONE!!
Persephone: Cody’s looking to inflict more damage, as he’s… looking under the ring?
Rich Russillo: Is that a syringe?
Thadd Blazevich: Guess so, man. Cody done lost the plot here, just going for whatever now!
Rich Russillo: Or maybe not. He’s going up to this chilli salsa… and he’s got the spicy sauce in that syringe now, what the hell?!
Persephone: My guy is smirking. He’s up to no good here, as he’s back in the ring now and without hesitation just injects that syringe into Miku’s arm! Jesus Christ, she’s burning alive!! I thought the day Miku would be gone would never come!!! :blessed:
Rich Russillo: But he’s still not done! He’s going back to ringside grabbing two more syringes, filling them up with the spicy salsa sauce again.
Thadd Blazevich: BRUH! HE JUST SHOVED ONE SYRINGE IN MIKU’S CHEST, AND THE SECOND ONE IN THE OTHER ARM!! MIKU IS SCREAMING AS CODY SEEMS TO BE HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE!!
Persephone: And so am I!! Holy shit Codester, I did not know you had this in you!
(Cody Maverick goes for the cover while Miku is still melting down.)
ONE!!!
TWOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEE—
Rich Russillo: BUT IN HER CHAOTIC MOVEMENTS, MIKU MANAGES TO KICK OUT! THIS PARTIALLY WORKED AGAINST CODY, AS HE HAS TO FIND NEW WAYS TO DO SOME DAMAGE HERE!
Thadd Blazevich: And watch out, he knows that very well too, because now he’s sizing up Miku!!
Rich Russillo: SIN CITY STUNNER!!!
Persephone: BUT MIKU SHOVES HIM OUT OF THE WAY! THAT COULD’VE SPELLED DISASTER FOR HER!
Thadd Blazevich: CODY NOW, GOT PUSHED BACK A DECENT AMOUNT, YOU SEE THE WEAR AND TEAR FORM COMPARED TO THE START OF THE MATCHUP! MIKU IS QUICK TO FOLLOW UP THOUGH AS SHE GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE, SENDING MAVERICK OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo: But the former National Elite Champion is hanging on, now finding himself on the apron! Dangerous position to be in though, as if it is to fall, he falls back first into a table full of dishes!
Persephone: And Miku is completely aware of that, because she’s punching at Cody! Maverick is doing his best to hold on though, but Miku goes back to get herself some momentum, and goes for another lariat!!
Rich Russillo: It hits!! But Cody is BARELY hanging on still!!
Thadd Blazevich: And Miku is visibly pissed dude, Cody’s only got one arm hanging onto the second rope— OH!!
Persephone: AND MIKU KICKS JUST KICKS THE ROPE, FORCING CODY TO LET GO!! AND STRAIGHT ONTO THE TABLE HE FLIES, THERE’S FOOD ALL OVER HIM NOW! THIS IS HUMILIATING!! :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Now Miku follows Cody to the ringside area, doing more damage, not looking to put this one away just yet. There’s multiple tables across the ringside area, all with different dishes that can become some creative weapons! These two are now brawling next to another table—and whoa!!
Persephone: Miku just tried to shove Cody’s face into a big bowl of gravy! But he instinctively holds on using the table!
Thadd Blazevich: And look at this bro, Cody just elbowed Miku in the gut, and looks to do the same thing in return! HE SHOVES HER HEAD INTO THE GRAVY, PRACTICALLY DROWNING HER!! Cody Maverick is being vicious right now as he is not looking to get her head outta that gravy yo! Some referees are coming around telling him to chill out before this goes too far!
Persephone: Imagine being murdered by… drowning in gravy. What a way to go out. Cody does end up letting go though as referees start trying to pull him away. He’s got his hands up like he’s all innocent. He isn’t, but some people have to sacrifice for our entertainment! Keep it up Cody, I may just end up liking you just slightly after this one.
Rich Russillo: Oh watch out. Cody’s dragging Miku and her face full of gravy towards us. He’s taking off the panelling of the announce table, and this could get ugly real quick! He gets Miku up on the table, and seems to be looking for something here…
Thadd Blazevich: CAT SCRATCH FEVER!! MIKU’S JUST INSTINCTIVELY CLAWING WITH HER LONG NAILS AT CODY’S FACE DESPITE PROBABLY SEEING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! AND SHE’S NOT STOPPING, SHE KEEPS GOING, AND GOING, AND GOING! DUDE, CODY’S FACE LOOKS CRAZY RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: And this gives Miku a moment to recover as Cody’s a little dazed, wiping her face and especially her eyes using own ring attire, pretty astute of her to do this.
Persephone: Yeah, you don’t really see Miku do something even halfway smart so this is a change for the better, and now look at this, Miku is preparing something big.
Thadd Blazevich: Is she looking for— SHE IS!
Rich Russillo: DEATH NOTE!!! STRAIGHT OFF OUR TABLE ONTO THE THANKSGIVING DECORATED ONE RIGHT ACROSS FROM IT! CODY GOES THROUGH ANOTHER TABLE, AND THIS TIME AROUND MIKU TOOK SOME OF THE DAMAGE AS WELL, AS THEY BOTH COLLAPSE ON THE MAT!
Thadd Blazevich: Miku has to find the energy to get up quick to capitalize off of this! This may very well be her ticket to the Extreme Elimination Chamber if she’s careful!
Rich Russillo: And she’s really trying to find her energy here, she knows how big this opening is, and she knows how much she wants to change the narrative and compete in what we would call the big leagues! Let’s also not forget, it was a couple of months ago at Reasonable Doubt 2025 that Cody Maverick pinned Miku Sakai after reversing the “Death Note” Asai DDT with a Sin City Stunner to earn the National Elite Championship in a three-way also involving SOSA Henderson! These two have history, and Miku especially has a chip on her shoulder after she feels Cody disappointed as captain twice, and moreover he is the one who swooped in at Reasonable Doubt and took away the championship Miku wholeheartedly believes was hers for the taking!
Persephone: Yeah yeah, well if it’s that deep Miku certainly needs to get up on her feet and find a way to get Cody in there with her as well!
Thadd Blazevich: Well she’s back up, and barely has the energy to get Cody back in the ring yet slowly but surely she does manage to do it. He’s had a lot of time to recover, but Miku goes for the pinfall anyways!
OOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
…
…
Thadd Blazevich: AND CODY MAVERICK KICKS OUT! THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER, AND THIS MATCH IS STILL GOING! AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IS STILL UP FOR GRABS! BOTH OF THESE BROS HAVE LEFT IT ALL OUT IN THE RING AND NOW ALL IT’S GOING TO COME DOWN TO IS WHO CAN GET THE BIG FINAL HIT FIRST!
Rich Russillo: Miku is starting to get a little desperate now. First she slammed the mat in fury, and now she’s at ringside just dragging whatever she can find to the inside of the ring, she definitely expected this to be it!
(Miku is now looking around trying to see whatever she could use of all that’s in the ring to put an end to this one. First… she grabs a turkey wrapped in barbed wire, but not many ideas come to mind, so she just carelessly throws it at Cody, barbed wire scratching him…)
(Then, she gets an empty cornucopia, but few ideas come to mind in how she could use it.)
(Until…)
Thadd Blazevich: Homies… look at this. Miku just got her hands on a stuffed pumpkin and started digging into it! She’s taking some of the food out, the hell is she thinking?!
Persephone: I got an idea.
Thadd Blazevich: You wanna share it with the class?
Persephone: You idiot. She’ll probably stuff his head in it.
Thadd Blazevich: Woah! He’d choke though!
Persephone: Yeah I mean Cody did try to drown her.
Thadd Blazevich: Fair enough.
(Thadd just shrugs as Miku begins approaching Cody with the pumpkin.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) You’re done for, big guy.
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) GO FUCK YOURSELF!! FOREVER!!
Rich Russillo: AND MIKU JUST PUSHED THAT STUFFED PUMPKIN STRAIGHT INTO CODY MAVERICK’S HEAD!! CODY’S PROBABLY CHOKING ON ALL THAT FOOD NOW, BUT THIS ISN’T EVEN THE END OF IT! SHE ALSO LOCKS IN A SLEEPER HOLD ON CODY AND HE’S FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE NOW!
Persephone: JESUS CHRIST!! :mjlol: I DON’T THINK I’VE SEEN SUBMISSION LIKE THIS BEFORE!! HOW THE FUCK IS CODY MEANT TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE??
Thadd Blazevich: THE STRUGGLE LITTLE BY LITTLE IS SLOWING ITSELF DOWN AS THE MAIN EVENT MOGUL MAY BE MISSING OUT ON THE MAIN EVENT OF ROAD TO REDEMPTION HERE!! HE’S LOSING AIR, HE HAS COMPLETELY NO WAY OF BREATHING RIGHT NOW, AND THE REFEREE APPROACHES HIM AND GETS A HOLD OF HIS HAND TO SEE IF IT DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT THREE TIMES TO CALL THIS OFF!!
(Cody Maverick’s hands flail no longer. The referee picks up his hand once, and lets go of it. It drops to the mat.)
(He does so a second time, and again, it drops to the mat.)
…
(He gets a hold of Cody’s wrist a third time. If his hand falls again, the match is over…)
…
…
…
(And it does fall.)
(DING! DING!! DING!!!)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… MIIIIIKUUUUUU SAAAKKAAAIIIIIII!!!
(“Lowlife Princess” by BIBI hits once more signaling Miku’s victory! Miku lets go of the hold as soon as the bell rings, almost ecstatic; both because she will get to compete for the EAW World Championship, but also because she gets vindication over her thoughts on Cody Maverick.)
(Bloody, exhausted, it doesn’t matter, Miku Sakai qualifies for the EAW World Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber!)
Rich Russillo: What a fight between two bonafide stars here. We knew only one of them could walk out of this one victorious and to the surprise and dismay of the audience, it wasn’t their hero, but instead the cunning Miku Sakai who always finds a way eventually! She is now heading towards her first ever shot at the EAW World Championship and second overall entrance in the Extreme Elimination Chamber match at Road To Redemption! Let’s see how she fares going forward, because this was one hell of a performance from her!
Thadd Blazevich: This was a crazy match, bro. These two pushed each other to the limit, even with such a wild assortment of weapons!
Persephone: I guess that was passable. Congrats to Miku or whatever.
(Miku is seen celebrating in the ring as staff rush to take the pumpkin off Cody’s head and attend to him. Then, the feed fades away from ringside.)
(F*ck Your Thanksgiving returns to show the backstage area as one-half of tonight’s co-hosts, TLA, is shown. This elicits a loud reaction from the crowd as he raises his microphone up and begins to speak.)
TLA: We back. And what a match we just saw between Cody Maverick and Miku Sakai, that was sum fuego. 🔥We’ve seen some real heat from the yellow brand tonight. NICK. getting himself dat Unique Opportunity, real sneaky mfer he is taking that away from Chris Elite, but shiiii, game respects game. I would’ve done the same thing. :troll: And now we got Miku Sakai moving onto the Extreme Elimination Chamber, tryna get that first World Championship, shits hype. We still got so much more to look forward to as well, including our main event, big time lucha going down with the EAW World Championship on the line. But right now tho, yo boi got some other pressing matters on his mind.
(TLA pauses, sarcastically rubbing his chin for a moment before speaking.)
TLA: Apparently my co-host had some shit to say about me. And I don’t know, because I don’t think Bethany here knows what she’s getting herself into facing the Baddest Hombre on the Planet. I been here before, I’ve been in dem deep waters, I know how it be feeling. When you feel like the entire world is against you, all you got is yourself, and if you want me to be honest, I like it that way. Everyone been tryna say that TLA don’t got it in him anymore, that he don’t got that same fuego in his belly to push forward and be dat mfer anymore. And they been saying that my entire career, what ends up happening tho? I end up proving each of them wrong. I get back to the top and all the haters got nothing left to say. That’s exactly how it was when I fought for the EAW World Championship, and I could’ve done that shit all over again if it wasn’t for Adam Lucas’ esposa deciding to get involved in my business. You know a vato was never going to stand for that.
(TLA shrugs his shoulders before going on.)
TLA: I been there before, I know how it feels to be El Campeon wearing dat Hardcore Championship with big lucha pride. And I been fiendin’ to get there again. I have to get through Bethany to do it, but I know that I can. I been hustlin’ from the day I stepped into this company and I ain’t never take my foot off the brakes. Imma go out there at Road To Redemption and imma do my thang, and imma make sure when it’s all said and done, she learns a valuable lesson what happens when you mess with a mfer like me.
(The crowd inside of the arena continues to cheer for the Hall of Famer, before he then closes off what he has to say.)
TLA: But enough about yo boi, we got some more lucha action coming up next! Drake Armstrong faces Minerva, with the winner choosing their stipulation for the big ass tag team match at Road To Redemption. Shit is about to be lit.
(TLA smiles as he lowers his microphone, turning as he makes his way out of the scene. While he does, the camera transitions to elsewhere.)
(A promotional ad for Road to Redemption is shown, where Dr. Bethany Blue will defend the Hardcore Championship against TLA.)
(Voltage fades back in and goes right to the ring where Bella Braxton is standing by.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: AND THE WINNER WILL GET TO DETERMINE THE STIPULATION FOR THE TRIOS MATCH AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION!
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ starts to play and the Kia Center is rocked with a barrage of jeers and insults.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE 24/7 CONTRACT HOLDER KAI RABEAUX… FROM SCARSDALE, NEW YORK… WEIGHING IN AT 235 POUNDS… HE IS THE REIGNING KING OF ELITE… ‘THE FUTURE’… DRAKE ARMSTRONG!!!
(A sneer is splashed across the handsome face of Drake Armstrong as he walks onto the stage. He pauses, allowing himself to bask in the crowd’s reaction before he turns towards Kai and says something to him. Kai replies with a smirk and together the two-thirds of the winning War Games team begin to make their way to the ring.)
Rich Russillo: Conspicuous by his absence is none other than Hans Grayson, but I’m sure no one is surprised by that. Last week, Drake cashed in his favor from winning War Games to force this trios match at Road to Redemption. Mr. Cash in the Vault was willing to face any member of Minerva’s newly formed group, ToXXXin, in a singles match, but as we’ve seen all season long, it’s Drake Armstrong’s way or no way.
Thadd Blazevich: For sure, dude. This bro Drake has seemingly orchestrated every dastardly thing that’s gone down on this brand and I guess my man Hans finally had enough. Even chill dudes like Hans have a breaking point, and he finally put his foot down.
Persephone: Yawn. Look, no one wants to keep being a battered wife, not even a pussy bitch like Hans. He forced that ugly freak to use his favor and now that’s one less thing Drake can lord over people. It’s not like I give a shit about this piss poor K-drama we’ve been force fed this season, but like at least it’s semi-interesting right now.
(As commentary continues on, Drake and Kai get inside the ring. Both men have stoic expressions on their faces, and considering Kai lost his chance to become a Unified Tag Team Champion earlier in the night, it’s admirable that he is out there right now to support Drake. Soon enough, ‘Pride and Arrogance’ starts to fade.)
(‘Blood, Milk, & Sky’ by White Zombie starts to play and this time the crowd reaction is a little more favorable.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT… BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY SELINA REYES AND DANIELLA ATLAS… RESIDING IN CASSADEGA, FLORIDA… WEIGHING IN AT 122 POUNDS… SHE IS THE HALL OF FAMER… ‘THE BLACK ROSE’… MINERVA!
(Despite Minerva’s questionable attitude and antics this season, the crowd reception for her and her fellow ToXXXin members is more positive than negative. That probably has everything to due with the fact Minerva lives about 20 minutes away from the Kia Center, and the fans in Florida like that. Minerva leads out Selina and Daniella, and she flashes a smirk to the camera positioned right in front of her. ToXXXin poses, and Minerva removes the black rose from her mouth and tosses it to the crowd. Then the trio starts to make their way to the ring.)
Thadd Blazevich: Bro… these baddies mean business and Drake and Kai are seemingly outnumbered. I’m not sure if that’s gunna matter to either bro, but ToXXXin looks poised to strike and make a huge statement here tonight!
Persephone: Those bAdDiEs made a statement the minute they took out all three members of the War Games team, idiot. I mean, duh! Like let’s be so for real. These three have proven time after time they suffer from permanent PMS and honestly they all look like they hate men.
Rich Russillo: There’s certainly no love lost between Drake and Minerva, who had their battles last season on Dynasty. I’m sure Minerva is looking to get the win tonight and take control of whatever is to happen come Road to Redemption.
(ToXXXin slides inside the ring and poses some more. Drake and Kai exchange disgusted looks with one another and Drake subtly nods his head.)
Rich Russillo: DRAKE AND KAI JUST ATTACKED ALL THREE MEMBERS OF TOXXXIN FROM BEHIND! DRAKE GRABS MINERVA AND SELINA BY THE HAIR AND SLAMS THEIR HEADS TOGETHER!
Persephone: KAI DROPKICKS DANIELLA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND STARTS WAILING AWAY! FOREARM AFTER FOREARM CONNECTS WITH THE BACK OF DANIELLA’S HEAD AND KAI SNATCHES HER UP, AND THROWS HER INTO THE CORNER!
Thadd Blazevich: KAI RUSHES FORWARD BUT DANIELLA MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! KAI PUTS THE BRAKES ON AND WHIRLS AROUND… TO BE GREETED BY A SPINNING BACK FIST FROM DANIELLA!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE DUMPS SELINA OUT OF THE RING AND HE DRAGS MINERVA TO THE CORNER! HE ATTEMPTS TO SLAM HER HEAD INTO THE TURNBUCKLES BUT MINERVA GETS HER FOOT UP AND ELBOWS DRAKE IN THE TEMPLE! HE STUMBLES BACK AND MINERVA SCRAMBLES UP THE ROPES AND DIVES OFF… KNOCKING DRAKE TO THE MAT WITH A FLYING CLOTHESLINE!
Persephone: DANIELLA HAS KAI AND SLAMS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST! SHE LOOKS TO MINERVA, WHO SMIRKS, AND DANIELLA HOISTS KAI UP AND THROWS HIM OUT OF THE RING!
Thadd Blazevich: THAT’S ONE STRONG BROETTE RIGHT THERE, DUDE!
Rich Russillo: DANIELLA IS OUT OF THE RING AND THE REFEREE IS FINALLY CALLING FOR THE BELL!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Persephone: DRAKE IS BACK TO HIS FEET NOW BUT MINERVA IS READY! A RUNNING THESZ PRESS TAKES DRAKE DOWN AND SHE IS HITTING HIM WITH CLOSED FIST PUNCHES NOW! DRAKE MUSCLES HER OFF, BUT MINERVA IS RIGHT BACK ON HIM! SHE IS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF THIS DOUCHEBAG RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE PUSHES HER OFF AGAIN AND SCRAMBLES TO HIS FEET! HE LOOKS TO TAKE MINERVA DOWN WITH A LARIAT BUT SHE DUCKS, WRAPS HER ARM AROUND HIS NECK AND SPIKES HIM WITH A DDT!
Thadd Blazevich: MINERVA IS HEADING TO THE ROPES AND SHE LEAPS UP! ‘HELL’S BELL’S’!!! THE SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT CONNECTS ON DRAKE BUT SHE’S NOT GOING FOR THE COVER MAN!
Persephone: MINERVA PULLS DRAKE UP AND SHE LOCKS HIM IN A HEADLOCK! HE’S STRUGGLING, LOOKING TO BREAK FREE, BUT HOLY SHIT! MINERVA JUST KNOCKED DRAKE OUT WITH ‘ATLAS FALLS’!!!! SHE REALLY JUST BEAT THE KING OF ELITE IN LIKE TWO MINUTES! LOL!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTT-
Rich Russillo: Oh man
Thadd Blazevich: Welp. Minerva just pulled broseph up by the hair and isn’t that what Drake did to Minerva last season on Dynasty?
Persephone: Yeah and it ended up costing the idiot the match. Why the fuck would she do something so stupid? Why the fuck would she prolong this match?
Rich Russillo: Something tells me Minerva has something pretty vicious in mind and she’s not ready to call it a day just yet. Drake is practically deadweight right now and this is not going to bode well for the King of Elite if he lets himself fall to this!
Thadd Blazevich: AS MINERVA SETS DRAKE UP INTO THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH AND IS TRYING TO FLIP OVER INTO ‘A CLOCKWORK ORANGE’!
Persephone: BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT DRAKE ARMSTRONG ISN’T STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL FOR THAT! DRAKE MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF IT AND WILL MINERVA UP FOR A HIP TOSS TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! That fucking idiot finally manages to pick himself up after what was an embarassing start to this match so far.
Rich Russillo: Well it’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish! Minerva is slowly trying to get herself up to her feet, and almost immediately it’s Drake who makes his way over and begins to connect with a barrage of strikes directly to the face! Minerva is trying to bring her hands up and block them, but she was taken off guard by The Future’s sudden burst of energy, and now she’s going to have to brace herself for whatever comes next!
Thadd Blazevich: Minerva has herself backed against the ropes, as Drake grabs her by the arm and sends her toward the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip! Minerva rebounds, AS DRAKE LEAPS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A FRONT DROPKICK- BUT NO GO, BRO! MINERVA MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE ROPES JUST IN TIME AND STOP HERSELF!
Persephone: This doofus lands flat on his ass as Drake tries to recover, BUT MINERVA RUSHES FORWARD AND NAILS HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE WITH A BOOT WHILE HE’S IN A SEATED POSITION TO TAKE HIM BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: Minerva falls against the ropes as she takes a moment to collect herself, Drake clearly rocked by the circumstances at hand as he staggers up to his feet, trying to wind back for a strike as he goes right for the head- But Minerva manages to duck under that! She grabs a hold of him around the waist as she lifts him up, TRYING TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT THAT DOESN’T WORK! DRAKE MANAGES TO REEL HIS ARM BACK AND CONNECT WITH A HARD ELBOW DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! Minerva staggers back and this gives Drake the chance to create momentum, as he turns around and runs to the ropes and back! SEEMINGLY TRYING TO LEAP UP INTO THE AIR AND GO FOR A HIGH KNEE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE OF THE HALL OF FAMER!
Persephone: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO STEP BACKWARD AND AVOID IT! SHE PROCEEDS TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM BY THE HEAD AND SLAM HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH AN STO! And now you can safely say that Drake Armstrong is getting his ass beat by Minerva. Oh the dismay.
Rich Russillo: A recovering Kai Rabeaux at ringside is looking concerned by what he’s seeing, meanwhile, the rest of ToXXXin is enjoying every second of it as they’re watching what is unfolding so far. Drake is down on the ground but that doesn’t mean that he’s completely out, he’s beginning to crawl himself toward one of the corners as he uses the ropes to try and make his way back up to his feet! But Minerva is slithering, you can tell that she’s not going to let that happen, AS SHE RUSHES HERSELF FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD FOREARM STRIKE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE!
Thadd Blazevich: Drake is completely rocked, and more importantly, bro, at the absolute mercy of Minerva! Minerva keeps him up by the head, AND NOW SHE’S WASTING NO TIME AT ALL BEGINNING TO NAIL HIM WITH A BARRAGE OF SHARP FOREARM STRIKES DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! DRAKE IS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO SLUMP DOWN IN THE CORNER, BUT MINERVA ISN’T INTENDING ON STOPPING ANYTIME SOON! SHE TRANSITIONS STRAIGHT TO HEADBUTTS DIRECTLY TO THE SKULL AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS A BATTERED HEAP IN THE CORNER RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: The referee is finally yanking that bitch off of him even though I would’ve absolutely loved to see him die tonight. Minerva is arguing with him as it seems like she finds it unfair, but the referee might need to look quick because he might be stupid enough to ignore the fact that this is a distraction!
(ToXXXin begins to circle themselves around the ring, potentially looking to get their hands on a recovering Drake Armstrong. But Kai Rabeaux immediately makes his way over as well and stands in their way. Daniella and Selina look at one another, clearly amused by the idea that he can fend both of them off, but regardless, they back up toward where they are while the referee focuses back on the action.)
Rich Russillo: And Drake briefly glances over to see what’s happening, AND THAT’S ENOUGH FOR MINERVA TO TAKE ACTION AS SHE RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR A BOOT DIRECTLY TO THE FACE TO TRY AND START THE BEATDOWN ALL OVER AGAIN!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, GRABBING A HOLD OF MINERVA AND SHOVING HER FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Minerva is stunned as she staggers backward!
Persephone: AND THIS SLIMEY SNAKE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE! DRAKE GRABS MINERVA AND PULLS HER INTO A SCHOOLBOY PIN! HE’S TRYING TO STEAL THIS MATCH BEFORE IT CAN GET TOO OUT OF HAND!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Both of them make their way up to their feet, as they realize the situation that they’re in right now could very well tip the scales of this match! But as Minerva steps forward, Drake grabs a hold of her by the head, BEFORE DRIVING A KNEE DIRECTLY INTO HER ABDOMEN TO FORCE HER TO STAGGER BACKWARD!
Thadd Blazevich: This is not looking good, broseph! Minerva falls against the ropes but quickly pushes herself off, ONLY FOR DRAKE TO EXPLODE FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A LARIAT TO THE FACE! Minerva makes her way up to her feet, ONLY FOR DRAKE TO FOLLOW THAT UP WITH A SECOND LARIAT RIGHT TO THE FACE!
Persephone: Minerva is back down on the ground as she tries to make her way up to her feet, but Drake grabs a hold of her by the wrist and sends her toward the ropes with an Irish whip- Nope! Scouted! Minerva manages to turn it around and send her toward the ropes instead! Drake rebounds, AS MINERVA GOES UNDER AND TRIES TO LIFT HIS BIG ASS UP FOR A BACK BODY DROP TO TAKE HIM DOWN!
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE GRABS HER AND DROPS HER DOWN WITH A FACEBREAKER KNEE SMASH! And now the King of Elite is beginning to feel it now! He knows that this is a good of a chance as he’s got to take this match! Minerva staggers up to her feet, and this gives Drake the chance to swoop in as he grabs a hold of her and lifts her off of the ground!
Thadd Blazevich: DROPPING HER DIRECTLY DOWN ONTO ‘BY THE BOOTSTRAPS’! JUMPING SHINBREAKER MANAGES TO CONNECT AND NOW DRAKE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS! HOOKING THE LEG AND TRYING TO GO FOR THE PIN ON MINERVA TO GET THE VICTORY TONIGHT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHH-
Persephone: But unfortunately for all of us, this match continues, as Minerva manages to kick out of the pin just in the nick of time.
(Drake slowly begins to make his way up to his feet, wiping loose strands of hair from his face with an exhaustion expression written all over. He knows that he needs to do something big here, and that’s what he aims for, as he yells at Minerva to rise up to her feet.)
Rich Russillo: Drake Armstrong knows that he needs to put a close to this match now, and the question is whether or not Minerva is going to let that happen to her as she slowly begins to recover! What could Drake be going for here-
(Suddenly, ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI begins to play through the speakers, eliciting a thunderous reaction from the crowd as Drake drops what he’s doing.)
Thadd Blazevich: Is this what I think it is?! Has Hans Grayson finally had a change of heart for his bro, Drake Armstrong?! Is he here to even the odds?!
Persephone: In your fucking dreams.
(The camera goes over to Hans Grayson… in his Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and a pair of flip flops. He has his lounge chair, the Cash in The Vault briefcase, and a coconut as he brings it up and takes a sip of it while admiring the scenery. He then makes his way down the ramp, stopping at the bottom of it as he begins to set up shop. He props up his lounge chair and plops down on it, putting his arms behind his head as his beach shades rest on his face.)
Rich Russillo: Hans Grayson is here to show how little he cares about his association with Drake Armstrong, but The Future is most definitely not happy about this! He looks absolutely irate, as he leans against the ropes and yells at the Cash in The Vault holder to try and get his attention, but he’s not listening whatsoever!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT HE NEEDS TO FOCUS BACK IN ON THE MATCH, DUDE! MINERVA JUST MANAGED TO RECOVER AND RUSH FORWARD TO CLOBBER DRAKE ARMSTRONG FROM BEHIND! DRAKE IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE CANVAS AND NOW MINERVA IS BEGINNING TO STOMP HIM OUT! TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DISTRACTION COURTESY OF HANS GRAYSON!
Persephone: ToXXXin are looking like dollar store sluts grinning like that, and Kai Rabeaux looks like he’s about to piss his pants after what just happened. Glad to see that everything is in order now.
(Hans takes a sip of his drink.)
Rich Russillo: Minerva grabs a hold of the leg and begins to drag Drake toward the center of the ring, but as she tries to bring him back up, DRAKE TURNS ONTO HIS BACK AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD BOOT TO THE CHEST WHICH FORCES MINERVA BACK!
Thadd Blazevich: Drake is slowly rising up to his feet as he uses this chance to catch his breath, but Minerva isn’t letting that happen, AS SHE RUSHES TOWARD HIM- ONLY BEFORE DRAKE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER BOOT, THIS TIME TO THE FACE, TO ONCE AGAIN FORCE HER INTO RETREAT!
Persephone: Drake begins to slowly head toward the center of the ring, AS MINERVA RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR A QUICK SWING- BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO SLIP PAST AND GRAB A HOLD OF MINERVA, LIFTING HER OFF OF THE GROUND AND SLAMMING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A URANAGE SLAM!
Rich Russillo: Minerva lands flat on the ground, and this is giving Drake the opportunity to take a breather as he turns around, and it seems like he’s trying to give Hans a mouthful for the debauchery that is going on at ringside right now!
Thadd Blazevich: But I don’t think Hans is listening, bro!
(Hans takes a sip of his drink.)
Persephone: Drake looks pissed like a bitch right now, but who really gives a fuck? He makes his way back up to his feet as he turns around and approaches Minerva, grabbing a hold of her and bringing her up-
Rich Russillo: BUT THE DISTRACTION AGAIN WAS ENOUGH FOR MINERVA TO GRAB HIM BY THE HEAD AND SLAM HER KNEE DIRECTLY AGAINST HIS FACE! Drake staggers back and this gives Minerva the chance to strike as she steps forward!
Thadd Blazevich: AS SHE GOES FOR ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! SUPERKICK CONNECTS-
Persephone: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO CATCH THE BOOT JUST IN TIME BEFORE IT CAN CONNECT! HE PUSHES THE BOOT DOWN BEFORE HE TRIES TO ENGAGE-
Rich Russillo: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO BRING HER LEG UP AGAIN AND FEINT HIM OUT TO CONNECT WITH THE SECOND ATTEMPT! SUPERKICK DROPS THE KING OF ELITE DOWN TO THE GROUND! MINERVA ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN THOUGH!
Thadd Blazevich: SHE IMMEDIATELY GOES TO THE ROPES! AS SHE GOES FOR A SECOND ‘HELL’S BELL’S’ DIRECTLY DOWN ONTO DRAKE ARMSTRONG!
Persephone: BUT I HOPE DRAKE ARMSTRONG WOULDN’T BE IDIOTIC ENOUGH TO FALL FOR IT TWICE! DRAKE STUMBLES FORWARD AND FALLS AGAINST THE ROPES, CAUSING MINERVA TO LOSE HER BALANCE BEFORE SHE CAN PUSH OFF AND FALL BACKWARD INTO A TREE OF WOE POSITION! AND LOOK AT THE LOOK ON THIS IDIOT’S FACE! HE SEES EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE STEPS FORWARD AND GRABS A HOLD OF THE WRIST OF MINERVA WHILE SHE’S UPSIDE DOWN, AND HE’S IMMEDIATELY BEGINNING TO TEE OFF WITH REPEATED STOMPS TO THE CHEST! A LESSON IN ‘DRAKENOMICS’ FOR THE HALL OF FAMER AS DRAKE CONTINUES TO LAY INTO HER WITH A RELENTLESS ONSLAUGHT!
(Hans takes a sip of his drink.)
Thadd Blazevich: THE REFEREE IS FINALLY COMING IN AND STOPPING THIS BEFORE IT CAN GET TOO OUT OF HAND, AND WHILE HE DOES, DRAKE SHOVES HIM OUT OF THE WAY AND DELIVERS A DEMANDING FINAL STOMP RIGHT TO THE FACE OF MINERVA TO DROP HER RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: Look at him repeatedly looking over at Hans, if he actually focused on his opponent rather than his distressed lover, then maybe this match would’ve ended a lot earlier and I could be a lot happier.
Rich Russillo: Drake knows that he has to stay focused though, as he brings Minerva up and grabs a hold of her by the wrist, sending her toward the ropes with an Irish whip, AS HE GOES FOR A LARIAT DIRECTLY TO THE FACE- BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BOOT DIRECTLY TO THE ARM!
Thadd Blazevich: Drake doubles over as he clutches his arm in pain, and this gives Minerva the chance to take advantage as she turns around and runs the ropes on her own volition, LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTING RIGHT AGAINST THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A SCISSORS KICK!
Persephone: And now Minerva looks to return the favor, as she brings him up and grabs a hold of the wrist and sends him toward the ropes instead with an Irish whip- But I hope Drake isn’t stupid enough to let that happen as he turns it around and sends Minerva toward the ropes once more, Minerva rebounds, AS SHE ONCE AGAIN TRIES TO OUTSMART DRAKE-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE HAS SOMEHOW THOUGHT FIVE STEPS AHEAD, AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF MINERVA INSTEAD OF STRIKING AND GOES FOR A SNAP POWERSLAM TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Thadd Blazevich: AND LOOK AT THE RAGE, BRO! DRAKE HAS MOUNTED ON TOP OF MINERVA AND IS BEGINNING TO CONNECT WITH REPEATED STRIKES DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! MINERVA IS TRYING TO BRING HER ARMS UP TO RETALIATE, BUT DRAKE IS ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS RIGHT NOW AS THE KING OF ELITE HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THE ANTICS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THIS MATCH!
Persephone: The referee has had his work cut for him in this match as he’s forced to once again come in and break up Drake before he can get too out of hand, but the King of Elite is a man possessed at the moment as he grabs a hold of Minerva and brings her up to her feet!
Rich Russillo: AS HE TRIES TO HEAVE MINERVA UP INTO A ‘DEATH PENALTY’ ATTEMPT! THE GOTCH-STYLE PILEDRIVER TO COMPLETELY DROP HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! THE FUTURE IS TRYING TO SECURE THIS MATCH IN HIS FAVOR!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO DROP HER WEIGHT JUST ENOUGH TO STOP DRAKE’S MOMENTUM! SHE SLIPS OUT AND UNWINDS HERSELF, GRABBING A HOLD OF THE KING OF ELITE BY THE WRIST AND PULLING HIM INTO A CLOTHESLINE THAT COMPLETELY TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: Both of them are scrambling up to their feet like little bitches, Drake somehow looking more like one than you’d think. MINERVA GOES FOR A SECOND CLOTHESLINE TO THE FACE TO BUILD MOMENTUM- BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! HE SLIPS BEHIND HER AND GRABS HER BY THE WAIST, BEFORE HEAVING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND TRYING TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX-
Rich Russillo: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO FLIP OVER AND LAND ON HER FEET BEHIND DRAKE ARMSTRONG! DRAKE TURNS AROUND, AS HE’S MET WITH A SICKENING ‘SATAN’S KISS’ DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO BRING HIS FOREARMS UP AND BLOCK IT JUST IN TIME! MINERVA STAGGERS BACK AS SHE FALLS AGAINST THE ROPES, REBOUNDING SLOWLY AS SHE RUSHES TOWARD DRAKE OUT OF BLIND RAGE, TRYING TO RECOVER BEFORE HE CAN GET THE BEST OF HER-
Persephone: BUT THE ONLY THING THAT SHE’S MET WITH IS A ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’ DIRECTLY TO THE BODY! FRONT DROPKICK TAKES MINERVA DOWN TO THE GROUND AND NOW DRAKE IS QUICKLY SCRAMBLING! HE HOOKS THE LEG! TRYING TO BRING THE WIN HOME FOR HIS ROAD TO REDEMPTION TEAM!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
Rich Russillo: BUT THE REFEREE STOPS! MINERVA MANAGES TO OUTSTRETCH HER HAND JUST IN TIME AND GRAB A HOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE! AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS IN ABSOLUTE DISBELIEF! HE’S LIVID AT WHAT HE’S SEEING RIGHT NOW! MINERVA IS STILL FIGHTING!
(Drake collapses back down to the ground in exhaustion next to Minerva. Kai Rabeaux has his hands on his head as he’s equally as disappointed that this match is still going, while ToXXXin on the opposite side of the ring breathes a sigh of relief that Minerva is still in this match. Hans takes a sip of his drink.)
Thadd Blazevich: Bro, Drake Armstrong is losing his chill right now. He thought he had that in the bag, but it seems like Minerva might be tougher than he thinks.
(Drake shakes his head as he grabs a hold of Minerva, bringing her up to her feet with a snarl on his face while he does.)
Drake Armstrong: (Off-Mic) THE AUDACITY! THE GALL! I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR THIS YOU IMBECILE-
Persephone: Maybe less talking dumbass.
Rich Russillo: MINERVA EXPLODES FORWARD WITH A FOREARM STRIKE TOWARD THE FACE! Drake stumbles back, clutching his face in pain as Minerva doesn’t seem to be done here! AS SHE TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE WHICH TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Thadd Blazevich: Drake immediately scrambles up to his feet, realizing just how bad this situation is getting for him and how he doesn’t want to be on the receiving end! BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE THERE’S MUCH OF A CHOICE IN THE MATTER! MINERVA HITS THE ROPES AGAIN, AS THIS TIME SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A MOMENTUM-SHIFTING SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE JAW OF THE FUTURE! THE BLACK ROSE IS NOT LETTING THIS MATCH GET OUT OF HAND!
Persephone: SHE’S BRINGING HIM DRAKE AND PULLING HIM INTO A FRONT FACELOCK!
Rich Russillo: POSSIBLY GOING FOR AN ATTEMPT AT ‘THE SIREN’S LONELY SONG’! TRYING TO SPIKE DRAKE ARMSTRONG DIRECTLY DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT AS SHE TRIES TO WILL HIM UP, DRAKE MANAGES TO PLANT HIS FEET DOWN TO THE GROUND AND REFUSE TO BUDGE, AS HE TAKES HIS ELBOW AND DRIVES IT INTO THE BACK OF HER NECK TO FORCE HER TO LET GO OF THE HOLD!
Persephone: DRAKE MANAGES TO ESCAPE OUT OF IT AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF THE WRIST OF A STUNNED MINERVA, PULLING HIM IN FOR A SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE OF HIS OWN!
Rich Russillo: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! SHE SLIDES BEHIND HIM AND WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND HIS WAIST!
Thadd Blazevich: INTO A O’CONNOR ROLL!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO QUICKLY KICK OUT OF THAT! FUCK! HE TAKES A SWING DIRECTLY AGAINST THE FACE OF MINERVA- BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT AND NAIL A KICK STRAIGHT TO THE ABDOMEN OF DRAKE! SHE PULLS HIM IN AND GOES FOR A SNAP DDT-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO SHOVE HER AWAY AND TOWARD ONE OF THE CORNERS! DRAKE TRIES TO RUSH FORWARD, BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! SHE BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE, AND SHE POSITIONS HERSELF BEFORE LEAPING OFF AND GOING FOR A CROSSBODY-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO CATCH HER! DRAKE WILLS HER BACK UP! BUT I DON’T THINK HE HAS THE ENERGY LEFT IN HIM, BRO! LOOK!
Persephone: DRAKE TILTS AND HE STUMBLES BACKWARD! BOTH OF THEM FALLING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CRASHING DOWN TO A HEAP AT THE RINGSIDE AREA!
(The referee has no choice but to start the count on the outside, but Drake Armstrong has seemingly lost care for the match at the moment. As he recovers with a disheveled expression on his face, he seems to have locked eyes with Hans Grayson, and it’s very hard to tell if he’s taking a nap right now or not. He seems to have enough as he immediately storms toward him.)
Drake Armstrong: (Off-Mic) You think this is funny?!
(Hans raises an eyebrow, lowering his shades.)
Hans Grayson: (Off-Mic) Hm?
Drake Armstrong: (Off-Mic) You heard me! You think this is a game!
Persephone: I swear to Gawd, I hate Hans Grayson, but this is objectively hilarious.
(Drake slaps the little umbrella out of Hans’ coconut, which makes the Cash in The Vault holder frown. But while they’re arguing, something seems to be happening behind Drake.)
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD! DANIELLA JUST SNATCHED UP KAI WHILE HE WAS DISTRACTED AND RAN HIM LIKE A BATTERING RAM DIRECTLY INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
Thadd Blazevich: AND AS HANS PERKS UP IN HIS CHAIR, SELINA JUST SPRINTED FORWARD AND NAILED HANS WITH A BOOT THAT COMPLETELY OVERTURNS THE LOUNGE CHAIR UPSIDE DOWN! DRAKE STAGGERS FORWARD! AND HE REALIZED THAT HE CAN’T KEEP HIS EYE OFF THE BALL HERE! HE QUICKLY PUSHES HIMSELF BACK INTO THE RING!
Persephone: OH! RIGHT IN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY JEWELS! WHILE THE REFEREE WAS DISTRACTED, MINERVA JUST CAME IN AND KICKED HIM SWIFTLY BELOW THE BELT! IT’S LIKE SHE ANTICIPATED THIS HAPPENING!
Rich Russillo: AND AS DRAKE CRUMBLES, MINERVA SWOOPS IN AND TAKES ADVANTAGE!
Thadd Blazevich: AS SHE DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH ‘ATLAS FALLS’! DRAKE IS SPLAYED OUT AS MINERVA QUICKLY PINS HIS SHOULDERS TO THE GROUND! JUST AS THE REFEREE TURNS HIS ATTENTION BACK ON THE MATCH AND STARTS THE COUNT! HOLY SHIT, BRO! NOT LIKE THIS!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Blood, Milk, & Sky’ begins to play through the speakers of the arena as Minerva rises up to her feet, Drake Armstrong completely splayed out in an unconscious heap. At ringside, Selina Reyes and Daniella Atlas have finished the job with the caught off guard Hans Grayson and Kai Rabeaux, as both of them are seen writhing in pain at ringside. Minerva gets her hand raised in the air as she has a big smirk on her face.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… MINERVA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Good. Exactly what these men deserved. I think I see a tear rolling down the face of Drake Armstrong. That’s enough to entertain me for the night.
Rich Russillo: Stolen or not, ToXXXin has made a massive statement! Minerva comes out with the victory against the King of Elite, and now the ball is completely in their court for Road To Redemption!
Thadd Blazevich: And I could only imagine what twisted stipulation she ends up picking, dude. All I know? It’s definitely not going to bode well for Drake, Hans, and Kai if they have their way like they did tonight.
(ToXXXin collect themselves in the ring, as Minerva spreads her arms out, standing tall over the body of Drake Armstrong who is completely laid out at this moment. The last shot seen is her trash talking the camera alongside Daniella Atlas and Selina Reyes as Sunday Night Voltage begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Fortnite featuring the new Hans Grayson skin.)
(Voltage returns to ringside.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a DEATHMATCH scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: And the winner will be entered into the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the EAW World Championship!
(‘Lost In The World’ by Kanye West hits, immediately bringing out loud boos from the fans in attendance. Jon Kelton begins to walk out to the stage, and he just has a focused look on his face. Right now, the only thing that matters to him is defeating Bronson Daniels and entering the Extreme Elimination Chamber, so it does not take long for him to begin making his way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From Dallas, Texas… Weighing in at 205 pounds… JJOOOOONNNNNNNN KEEEEELLLLLTTTOONNNNNNN!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: We have ourselves a deathmatch, and Jon Kelton looks ready, possibly even more than usual knowing the added stipulation to this. If this ends in a No Contest like the last deathmatch he and Bronson Daniels had, NEITHER man will enter the Chamber!
Thadd Blazevich: Yeah, but I doubt bro was planning to let a draw happen, anyway. This dude wants to win, and that’s it. With the beef he and Bronson have, this could get pretty bloody.
Persephone: And that’s exactly what I’m here for.
(‘Run Into Flowers’ by M83 follows, and the crowd explodes with cheers. Bronson doesn’t look happy as he stares at Jon Kelton, but he is able to remain focused, not allowing his disdain for Kelton to get to him before the bell rings. Bronson begins making his way to the ring, ready to finally get this over with and get his chance to put his history with Jon Kelton behind him once and for all.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… From Cocoa Beach, Florida… Weighing in at 190 pounds… BBRROOONNNNNSSOOONNNNNNNN DDDDDAAAAAANNNNNIIIIIIIEEEELLLLSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Bronson and Kelton had a violent deathmatch at Wicked Games, and now here they are for round two. One thing is for sure, neither of these men want to keep dealing with each other. They want to make it into that Chamber.
Thadd Blazevich: This has been an unexpected season for these two, but this might just be the turning point, dude. Whoever wins will have the chance to do what they both wanted to, and win the EAW World Championship!
Persephone: Well, I don’t really care who does that. I’m just here to see them kill each other.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Rich Russillo: AND I CAN’T SAY I’M SURPRISED, KELTON AND DANIELS ARE GOING RIGHT AT IT!!!! WE HAVE OURSELVES A HOCKEY FIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND KNOWING HOW THE LAST MATCH BETWEEN THESE TWO TURNED OUT, I CAN’T IMAGINE THIS ONE WILL BE ANY LESS VIOLENT! BRONSON AND KELTON ARE JUST THROWING PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER NONSTOP, JUST THROWING WHATEVER THEY CAN AT EACH OTHER AS I’M SURE THEY BOTH KNOW THIS WILL BE A LONG NIGHT!
Thadd Blazevich: BRONSON GETS THE UPPER HAND EARLY ON THROWING ELBOW AFTER ELBOW AFTER ELBOW! BRO JUST BACKED KELTON INTO THE ROPES, STOPPING KELTON FROM EVEN BEING ABLE TO FIGHT BACK- AND NOW THERE’S A CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP!
(The clothesline would take both Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton over the top rope, having taken all of the strength Bronson could muster up. Both Elitists crash onto the ringside floor, hitting it hard, but Bronson shakes his head, refusing to let that pain get to him as he pushes himself back up.)
Persephone: Bronson grabs Kelton before Kelton could make a move, AND HE THROWS KELTON FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Kelton is knocked down to all fours, but Bronson rushes over and grabs him by the head before slamming his face into the post!
Rich Russillo: Bronson drags Kelton up- BUT KELTON BEGINS ELBOWING BRONSON IN THE RIBS! HE THROWS REPEATED ELBOWS UNTIL BRONSON’S GRIP ON HIM IS BROKEN- UNTIL FINALLY KELTON CAN GRAB BRONSON AND SLAM HIS FACE INTO THE APRON! Bronson drops down to a knee, and now Kelton quickly digs under the ring, taking advantage of the time that he just bought himself! Bronson is holding his jaw as Kelton clearly put his all into that slam into the apron, but thanks to his position, I think Kelton has gained an advantage! It looks like Kelton just found the first weapon!
Thadd Blazevich: HE DID, AND IT’S A FAMILIAR ONE, BRO! KELTON JUST TOOK OUT THAT CROWN OF THORNS FROM ROAD TO REDEMPTION, AND HE STABS THE STEEL THORNS INTO BRONSON’S BACK BEFORE RAKING THE BACK WITH IT!!! BRONSON SCREAMS IN PAIN, AND DUDE, I THINK KELTON JUST GOT THE ADVANTAGE WITH THAT ONE! KELTON GRABS BRONSON, AND HE LIFTS HIM UP BEFORE DROPPING BRO WITH A BACK SUPLEX DROP ONTO THE APRON! Bronson drops to all fours, and it looks like Kelton just got an idea!
(Kelton grabs the crown of thorns, placing it onto the apron before setting Bronson up a second time.)
Persephone: THERE WE GO! KELTON LIFTS BRONSON UP FOR A SECOND BACK SUPLEX DROP, THIS TIME DROPPING BRONSON BACK FIRST ONTO THE CROWN OF THORNS! Bronson falls back off the apron, this time with that crown stuck in his already bloody back!
Rich Russillo: Kelton digs under the ring after this, AND HE GRABS A BARBED WIRE WRAPPED KENDO STICK BEFORE WRAPPING IT AROUND BRONSON’S THROAT AND PULLING BACKWARDS! KELTON IS STRANGLING BRONSON WITH THE BARBED WIRE WRAPPED KENDO STICK!
Thadd Blazevich: KELTON IS CHOKING BRO OUT, AND BRONSON IS IN A BAD SPOT, TOO! HE IS ON HIS KNEES, AND I CAN’T IMAGINE IT FEELS GOOD GETTING CHOKED OUT WITH A BARBED WIRE KENDO STICK WITH A CROWN OF THORNS STUCK IN YOUR BACK! DUDE, THIS IS CRAZY! This match has already taken a turn, and I guess this is to be expected when they still have unfinished business even after their first deathmatch!
Persephone: Bronson knows he has to make a move though, SO HE PUSHES HIMSELF UP, BEFORE BACKPEDALING AND-
(*CRASH!*)
Rich Russillo: AND SENDING BOTH HIMSELF AND KELTON BACKWARDS INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!
(While both Elitists crashed into the steps, it was Kelton that took the brunt of it. His back collided directly with the steps, knocking the top half over as both men fell to the ground. Bronson breathes heavily, trying to catch his breath after getting strangled. However, during this, he notices that Kelton is down, and better yet for Bronson, the kendo stick had left his hands.)
Rich Russillo: Bronson quickly digs under the ring, and I think he’s frantically looking whatever he can grab before Kelton starts pushing himself up! Kelton slowly turns himself over and gets to all fours-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT ONLY SO BRONSON COULD SWING A SPIKED 2X4 INTO HIS BACK! IT LOOKS LIKE BRONSON GOT A GOOD ONE, BROS! Kelton drops back down, and that 2×4 definitely pierced his back! Bronson wastes no time going to grab bro, and he rolls him back into the ring! Bronson doesn’t stop there, picking up the steel steps before sending that into the ring as well!
(Kelton puts his hand on his back, trying to check the spot that was stabbed by the 2×4. He slowly crawls into the corner of the ring, but during this, Bronson begins sending various items into the ring. This includes the 2×4, the barbed wire kendo stick, a crowbar, a lead pipe, a small bag, and of course the crown of thorns, which Bronson was forced to tear out of his own back. Bronson pulls out one more thing he spots under the ring after this, putting on a pair of brass knuckles before sliding into the ring.)
Persephone: Bronson slides into the ring, AND HE RUSHES TOWARDS KELTON IN THE CORNER- BUT KELTON GETS A BOOT UP! Bronson stumbles back and Kelton quickly dives at whatever weapon he could get his hand on, grabbing the lead pipe and swinging it at Bronson’s head!
Rich Russillo: Bronson ducked under it though, AND HE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BRASS KNUCKLE-ASSISTED BATMAN PUNCH!!! KELTON DROPS DOWN ON THE MAT, AND NOW BRONSON WASTES NO TIME DROPPING DOWN ON TOP OF KELTON AND BEGINNING TO RAIN DOWN PUNCHES TO THE FACE USING THE BRASS KNUCKLES!
(Punch after punch connects with the initially unconscious Jon Kelton, who is basically defenseless after the Batman Punch. The punches aren’t targeted, just landing at wherever in Kelton’s face Bronson could connect with. Eventually this causes Kelton’s forehead to be busted open, and it’s this that’d finally wake Kelton back up.)
Thadd Blazevich: BRONSON KEEPS PUMMELING KELTON, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS DUDE ISN’T GONNA GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT! KELTON LOOKS PRETTY DAZED, AND HE STARTS RAISING HIS ARM, JUST TRYING HIS BEST TO BLOCK THE PUNCHES AS BEST AS HE CAN! KELTON IS STILL STRUGGLING BRO, BUT HE’S USING HIS OTHER ARM JUST TO SEE WHAT HE CAN GET HIS HAND ON, AND- WOAH! OH MY GOD, BRO!
Persephone: KELTON GRABBED THE BAG AND SWUNG IT INTO THE SIDE OF BRONSON’S HEAD, POPPING THE BAG ON IMPACT AND SENDING A BUNCH OF THUMBTACKS FLYING EVERYWHERE!!!
Rich Russillo: THERE ARE NOW THUMBTACKS ALL OVER THE RING, AND I DON’T THINK THAT WAS WHAT KELTON EXPECTED, BUT I DON’T THINK HE DID THAT WITH ANY SORT OF PLAN IN MIND! Kelton just needed some way to save himself, and he most certainly got what he was after! Bronson drops down next to Kelton, buying Kelton time to turn over and slowly push himself to a knee! Kelton grabs Bronson by the head before Bronson could make a move- AND HE SLAMS BRONSON FACE FIRST INTO THE TACK-RIDDEN MAT!
Thadd Blazevich: KELTON DOESN’T STOP THERE, BRO! HE KNOWS THAT BRONSON ISN’T AN EASY DUDE TO KEEP DOWN, SO HE RAISES BRONSON’S HEAD BEFORE SMASHING IT INTO THE MAT AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! BRO KEEPS BASHING BRONSON’S FACE INTO THE MAT, BEFORE FINALLY HE KEEPS IT THERE AND JUST STARTS WIPING BRONSON’S FACE AROUND THE MAT! Dude, with all those thumbtacks on the mat, I can’t imagine that was good for him!
(Kelton slowly turned Bronson over, and it looked like Thadd was right. A bunch of thumbtacks were stuck in Bronson’s face, but Kelton didn’t seem satisfied seeing this. Bronson slowly began to sit up as Kelton turned away, and he began to slowly pull the thumbtacks from his face, removing some from his forehead as well as the side of his head. However, this would soon appear to be a mistake.)
(*CRACK!*)
Persephone: BRONSON JUST GOT SMACKED IN THE FACE WITH A CROWBAR! Bronson’s head fell back to the mat as fast as possible right there. He’s probably gonna wish he didn’t start pulling those thumbtacks out right about now, because I can see the blood slowly starting to trickle out now.
Rich Russillo: KELTON DOESN’T STOP THERE! HE TAKES THE END OF THE CROWBAR, BEFORE BEGINNING TO BASH IT INTO BRONSON’S FOREHEAD!! KELTON BASHES IT INTO BRONSON’S HEAD OVER AND OVER AGAIN, UNTIL FINALLY THOSE TINY SPECKS OF BLOOD TURN INTO SOMETHING FAR WORSE! BLOOD IS BEGINNING TO POUR ALL OVER BRONSON’S HEAD, AND NOW KELTON GETS BACK TO HIS FEET BEFORE DRAGGING BRONSON UP!
Thadd Blazevich: CHANGE THE FUTURE, RIGHT INTO THE CROWN OF THORNS!!!! BRONSON IS DROPPED HEAD FIRST INTO THOSE STEEL SPIKES, AND NOW KELTON TURNS BRONSON OVER, PULLING HIMSELF ON TOP OF HIM FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Persephone: IT’S NOT OVER YET, BRONSON WAS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!!!
(Jon Kelton sits up, and he just shakes his head, trying his best to contain his frustration knowing that Bronson was able to kick out.)
Rich Russillo: Kelton slowly pushes himself back up, and I can’t imagine he’s too happy given the circumstances. This is a must-win for these two men, so I’m sure they’re going to do whatever they can to get this one finished. Kelton lifts Bronson up before lifting him onto his shoulders, AND KELTON POWERBOMBS BRONSON ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: BRONSON’S LOWER BACK HIT THOSE STEPS, BRO! THAT WAS SUCH A NASTY LANDING, AND IT CAUSED BRONSON TO INADVERTENTLY ROLL OUT OF THE RING! Bronson might’ve gotten lucky there, dude. There’s no way he had the strength left to intentionally roll out, but luckily for him he was able to accidentally roll out of there before Kelton could try to pin him. At this point, I’m not so sure if Bronson woulda been able to kick out if he did get pinned.
Persephone: It would be such a waste of time if this match already ended. We’re just starting to get bloody!
Rich Russillo: Bronson ended up rolling out to his knees, holding onto the apron to prevent himself from completely collapsing to the mat. Kelton sees this, and he grabs the lead pipe before exiting the ring! It looks like he’s not willing to let Bronson get any spare time to recover, AS HE MAKES HIS WAY OVER TOWARDS HIM BEFORE HITTING HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE LEAD PIPE! BRONSON DROPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND NOW KELTON CONTINUES TO SWING THE LEAD PIPE INTO BRONSON’S BACK OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
Thadd Blazevich: KELTON DOESN’T STOP, JUST TRYING TO COMPLETELY BATTER BRONSON DANIELS! BRONSON IS IN A BAD PLACE RIGHT NOW, AND KELTON ISN’T GIVING BRONSON ANY CHANCE! DUDE, THIS ISN’T GOOD FOR BRONSON AT ALL! Kelton drops the lead pipe and pulls Bronson up, and he just starts kneeing bro in the midsection! Bronson might just be lifeless at this point dude, but Kelton doesn’t seem satisfied just yet! He turns his attention towards… Wait a second. He’s looking at us!
Persephone: Oh no.
(Jon Kelton rushed over towards the commentary table while holding Bronson. His intention seemed to be to throw Bronson over the table, but that plan would backfire.)
Rich Russillo: WOAH!!! BRONSON WAS ABLE TO TURN IT AROUND AT THE LAST SECOND, THROWING KELTON OVER THE TABLE AND CREATING SOME MUCH NEEDED DISTANCE BETWEEN THESE TWO! BRONSON COLLAPSED AFTER THROWING KELTON OVER THE TABLE, BUT I THINK KELTON IS THE ONE IN A BAD WAY NOW AFTER HE JUST WENT TUMBLING ACROSS OUR TABLE!
(Bronson slowly pulls himself towards the ring, beginning to dig under the ring for more items while Kelton is still laid out on the other side of the table. He takes out a table, which appears to have explosives attached to it. He slides the table into the ring, before digging out a roll of barbed wire, and sending that into the ring as well. Bronson takes some time after this, leaning against the apron to catch his breath.)
Rich Russillo: Bronson’s been going through it for some time now, but he’s able to turn his attention back over to Kelton. He begins making his way over towards our table, and he-
(*CRACK!*)
Rich Russillo: OH! HE GETS A MONITOR THROWN AT HIS HEAD BY KELTON!!
Thadd Blazevich: BRONSON DROPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND NOW LOOK AT KELTON, BRO! Kelton is trying to slowly pull himself away from our table, pretty much crawling away. Both of these dudes are in terrible shape right now, but that’s to be expected. They both have so much hatred for each other, and now they’re taking it all out on each other for a second time following their first deathmatch! Kelton slowly gets his hands on the ring bell, and it looks like he has something in mind! He sees Bronson finally getting back up, AND NOW KELTON CHARGES IN-
Persephone: RIGHT INTO THE GODBREAKER!!!
Rich Russillo: BRONSON FORCES HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET AND THROWS KELTON BACK INTO THE RING, AND RIGHT NOW HE’S MOVING LIKE A MAN POSSESSED! BRONSON HAS SOMETHING IN MIND AS HE RUSHES INTO THE RING AND GRABS THE BARBED WIRE, AND HE’S UNRAVELLING IT BEFORE PULLING IT AROUND KELTON’S THROAT! THE BARBED WIRE IS WRAPPED AROUND KELTON’S THROAT, AND NOW… Wait a second, what the hell is Bronson doing!?
(Bronson Daniels begins to make his way up to the top rope, holding onto the barbed wire. Once at the top, he grabs both ends of the barbed wire, holding Kelton up while strangling him with the barbed wire.)
Thadd Blazevich: DUDE, WE THOUGHT KELTON STRANGLING BRONSON WITH THE BARBED WIRE KENDO STICK WAS BAD, BUT THIS IS A WHOLE LOT WORSE! BRONSON IS UP TOP, BASICALLY HOLDING KELTON UP WITH THE BARBED WIRE AROUND HIS THROAT!!! THESE TWO ARE PRETTY MUCH TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW! AT THIS POINT BRO, I THINK KELTON’S GONNA WANT TO TAP OUT BEFORE HE TAKES SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE!
Persephone: NO, DON’T TAP OUT! I WANT TO SEE WHAT’LL HAPPEN! TEAR HIS THROAT OPEN!
Rich Russillo: KELTON IS IN DISTRESS RIGHT NOW, BUT HE KNOWS HE NEEDS TO MAKE A MOVE! KELTON IS SLOWLY PULLING HIMSELF TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND HE’S SLOWLY TRYING TO PULL BRONSON ONTO HIS SHOULDER! KELTON DOING WHATEVER HE CAN TO PREVENT HIMSELF FROM TAKING SOME SEVERE INJURIES, AS HE IS ABLE TO SLOWLY POWER BRONSON DANIELS ONTO HIS SHOULDER! WHAT DOES KELTON HAVE IN MIND!?
Thadd Blazevich: OH MY GOD!!! KELTON WITH AN AVALANCHE POWERSLAM ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!! BRO, THIS IS INSANE!!!! KELTON COULD’VE COMPLETELY SHATTERED BRONSON’S SPINE JUST NOW, BRO! BOTH MEN GO DOWN, BUT BRONSON MIGHT JUST BE DONE, DUDE! I DON’T KNOW HOW HE COULD POSSIBLY COME BACK AFTER THAT!
Persephone: BRONSON ROLLS OFF OF THE STEPS, AND NOW KELTON PULLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF BRONSON FOR ANOTHER COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT BRONSON IS ABLE TO GET HIS SHOULDER UP ONCE AGAIN, SAVING THE MATCH!!!! THIS ONE IS NOT OVER YET!
(Kelton just rolls off of Bronson, in complete disbelief knowing that the match still isn’t over. He is furious, slamming his hand into the mat. After this, neither man moves, having both exhausted each other throughout the course of this match.)
Rich Russillo: Kelton slowly starts to sit up, and he just sighs. At this point these two just look tired. He wanted to prove a point in their first match. He wanted it to be clear that he was better than Bronson all along, but right now? Now these two just want to get this over with, and finally put all this behind them. The problem is, that’s easier said than done. Kelton slowly rolls out of the ring, and he digs under the ring in search of another weapon. At this point, I’m not sure what he could even be looking for.
Thadd Blazevich: Jon Kelton just pulled a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat out from under the ring, and I think if there’s any weapon that’d be capable of ending the match, it’s that! Kelton slides into the ring while Bronson is still trying to recover from that powerslam into the steps, and now Kelton makes his way over to Bronson.
(Kelton raises the bat over his head, staring at Bronson with an enraged look in his eyes, before finally swinging the bat down at Bronson’s head.)
Persephone: UGH, BRONSON CAUGHT THE BAT! HE DIDN’T GET HIS HEAD BASHED IN!
Rich Russillo: BRONSON WAS FORCED TO GRAB ONTO THE BARBED WIRE, CATCHING THE BAT BEFORE KICKING KELTON IN THE MIDSECTION! KELTON STUMBLES BACKWARDS AND LETS GO OF THE BAT! I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW BRONSON IS CAPABLE OF MOVING AFTER GETTING POWERSLAMMED ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! BRONSON TURNS THE BAT AROUND AND GRABS THE HANDLE, BEFORE SWINGING THE BAT INTO KELTON’S LEG! THAT BARBED WIRE WENT RIGHT INTO KELTON’S LEG, TEARING AWAY AT HIS SKIN! Kelton instinctively grabs onto his leg in pain, AND NOW BRONSON PUSHES HIMSELF UP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER SHOT WITH THE BAT, THIS TIME TO THE BACK!
Thadd Blazevich: KELTON DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES, AND NOW BRONSON JUST GOES TO TOWN WITH THE BAT, HITTING DUDE WITH SHOT AFTER SHOT! KELTON IS DOWN ON THE MAT, AND BRONSON JUST KEEPS HITTING HIM WITH THE BAT UNTIL KELTON DOESN’T EVEN HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DEFEND HIMSELF! Kelton is probably wishing he didn’t bring that bat into the match right about now! He brought it in to try and take Bronson out, but he totally just ended up giving Bronson enough time to recover and turn the tables on him! This is crazy, bro!
(Bronson continues hitting Kelton with the bat, until finally he lets go of it, nearly collapsing as he stumbles and grabs onto the ropes, using it to maintain his footing. As Bronson leans against the ropes he turns his head, noticing the explosive table he slid into the ring earlier.)
Rich Russillo: Bronson picks up that explosive table before beginning to set it up. I’m not sure what Bronson may have planned with it, but whatever the case, it’s definitely beyond dangerous. These two have both lost so much blood as is, so I don’t think they can survive going through a table filled with explosives.
Thadd Blazevich: Bronson drags Kelton back up-
(*SLAP!*)
(As soon as Bronson dragged Kelton back up to his feet, he’d receive a slap to the face. Kelton could barely even stand on his own at this point, but there was a slight smirk on his face after delivering that slap to Bronson. However, after recovering from the slap, this would just further frustrate Daniels.)
Persephone: BRONSON JUST HIT KELTON WITH A FOREARM! HE NEARLY DROPPED KELTON WITH THAT ONE ALONE, BUT BRONSON DOESN’T LET HIM FALL! HE GRABS BRONSON, BEFORE STARTING TO REPEATEDLY PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE!
Rich Russillo: BRONSON KEEPS GOING UNTIL KELTON JUST DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, AND NOW BRONSON JUST STARTS PUMMELING HIM WITH FOREARMS! WE DISCUSSED HOW TIRED KELTON MUST BE, BUT BRONSON IS THE MAN THAT WAS BETRAYED, AND I CAN’T IMAGINE HE HAS ANY INTENTIONS OF LETTING THIS CONTINUE ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY! Bronson finally stops the forearms, and right now Kelton just looks done! I don’t think he has anything left, and all Bronson can do at this point is back into the corner, preparing himself for the killing blow!
(As Bronson backs into the corner, he and Kelton stare at each other one last time. Kelton looks defeated at this point, knowing that the last thing he wants is to lose to Bronson with an opportunity to finally become World Champion on the line. However, Bronson doesn’t seem to feel any sympathy for him, instead giving Kelton a look of disgust, knowing that Kelton is the reason Bronson’s been forced to do all of this. Finally, Bronson charges in.)
Rich Russillo: MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: NO! KELTON DUCKED DOWN, AND HE JUST CAUGHT BRONSON WITH A LOW BLOW!!!! KELTON JUST LOW BLOWED BRONSON!!!!
(Loud boos begin to flood the crowd as Jon Kelton slowly pushes himself back to his feet, standing over Bronson Daniels following that low blow. This time, it’s Kelton that stares at Bronson with a look of rage on his face, but Kelton ends up turning around, glancing at the explosive table. At this moment, he seems to get an idea, as he turns his attention back to Bronson.)
Rich Russillo: Kelton drags Bronson up before making his way over to the corner close to the table, and Kelton is able to lift Bronson onto the top rope!
Thadd Blazevich: This is bad, bro. It could be all over for Bronson. That low blow definitely did some serious damage, and now I don’t think Bronson’s gonna be able to save himself from whatever’s coming next.
Persephone: Yikes. What is Jon Kelton gonna do in an Extreme Elimination Chamber?
Rich Russillo: Kelton delivers a right hand to Bronson, before climbing up to the middle rope and connecting with another one! Kelton now with a third, BUT BRONSON CATCHES KELTON WITH A PUNCH TO THE RIBS! Kelton retaliates though, beginning to hit Bronson with forearm after forearm in an attempt to keep Bronson down! Bronson might not have anything left! He was able to land a few more punches, but they’re not doing as much as those forearms!
(Kelton connects with an uppercut, and after this, he finally makes his way all the way to the top rope. He begins to pull Bronson Daniels all the way up to his feet from there, and this catches the attention of the thousands of people in attendance tonight, watching with anticipation as both Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton stand directly over the explosive table.)
Rich Russillo: IS JON KELTON SETTING UP FOR A SPANISH FLY THROUGH THAT TABLE!? IT MIGHT BE OVER FOR BRONSON!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT BRONSON ISN’T GIVING UP!!! BRONSON IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A FEW PUNCHES TO KELTON’S BACK! BRONSON IS TRYING HIS BEST TO STAY IN THIS- BUT KELTON LANDS AN ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF BRONSON’S HEAD! BOTH MEN ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO MAINTAIN THEIR BALANCE! BRO, IF EITHER OF THEM FALL OFF THE TOP ROPE, IT MIGHT JUST BE GAME OVER FOR THEM!
Persephone: Kelton tries to set up for the Spanish fly once again, but Bronson begins to deliver more punches, before finally creating a tiny bit of space between them!
Rich Russillo: YOU’RE RIGHT, AND THIS ALLOWS BRONSON TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM!!! JON KELTON IS TEETERING OFF THE TOP ROPE, LOSING HIS BALANCE!!!
(Bronson Daniels is prepared to push Jon Kelton through the table, sealing Kelton’s fate. Wasting no time, he goes to deliver the final shove.)
(However, just as Bronson went for the shove, Kelton would manage to grab Bronson, holding onto his arms as the two men fell from the top rope.)
(*BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!*)
Thadd Blazevich: WHAT!? WHAT JUST HAPPENED????
Persephone: THEY BOTH WENT THROUGH THE TABLE!!! BRONSON AND KELTON BOTH WENT THROUGH THE EXPLOSIVE TABLE!!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT THERE’S TOO MUCH SMOKE! WHO GOT THE UPPER HAND!?
(The smoke clears. The referee coughs, trying to push smoke away from his face when he notices the scene that has unfolded.)
(Jon Kelton has an arm over Bronson Daniels. Seeing this, the referee quickly begins counting.)
ONE!
(However, that’s not all he notices.)
TWO!
(Bronson Daniels also has an arm over Jon Kelton.)
(The referee continues the count, knowing that a legal pin is still taking place. However, as the referee reaches the count of three…)
THREE!
(Neither man is able to get the shoulder up.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(The bell rings, but no announcement is made. This is because nobody is sure what to do. The referee gets up, and he just sighs, not sure what to tell Bella Braxton after the double pin from Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton. It’d be inaccurate to call it a No Contest, but which man won the match?)
Persephone: So… What just happened?
Rich Russillo: :lupe: The rule for this match was that if there was a No Contest neither man would enter the Extreme Elimination Chamber, but this wouldn’t be a No Contest, right?
Thadd Blazevich: :lupe: This feels like both dudes won the match more than it feels like they both lost, you get me?
Persephone: Not at all, that was stupid. Still, what now? Do we just give the win to someone?
Rich Russillo: I’m not sure. This was yet another very violent deathmatch between these two men, but there’s no telling what’ll happen next.
(The referee rolls out of the ring as the medical team rushes out to check on both Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton, who both have yet to move after crashing into the explosive table. The referee is talking things over with other officials and Bella Braxton, and given the stipulation for this match regarding the Chamber, nobody seems to be sure what they should do.)
(Fortunately for them, ‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney hits, bringing out the Commissioner of Voltage. The crowd cheers as Captain Charisma makes his way out to the stage with a microphone on his hand, and as he stands on the stage, he almost appears to be stressed out as he just shakes his head, staring at the carnage inside of the ring.)
Rich Russillo: Captain Charisma is here, and I don’t blame him for coming out, as right now I think he’s the only one who can settle this!
(Finally, Captain Charisma begins to speak.)
Captain Charisma: I’ll admit, I didn’t anticipate things playing out this way when I said that a No Contest would result in neither Bronson Daniels nor Jon Kelton entering the Extreme Elimination Chamber. I was certain that this would be it for these two, but clearly there is one thing I didn’t keep in mind, and it’s the fact that both of you want to enter that Chamber and win the EAW World Championship more than anything else. With that in mind, I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that things would come to this.
(Captain Charisma shakes his head again, letting out a sigh before continuing.)
Captain Charisma: This isn’t something I’d normally do, but right now it’s looking like I have been left with no other choice. It’s apparent just how badly both of you want to be in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, so considering the circumstances, the only thing I can do is give *both* of you entry into the Chamber, joining Miku Sakai and the winner of tonight’s main event.
(The crowd explodes with cheers, surprised but excited hearing that both Jon Kelton and Bronson Daniels will be entering the Extreme Elimination Chamber.)
Persephone: God, these two just can’t get away from each other, can they?
Rich Russillo: It looks like they’ll have to wait until after Road to Redemption to do so, as they BOTH will find themselves in the Extreme Elimination Chamber! They shared the Chamber once already just last year, only this time, I don’t see either of them sacrificing themselves for the other!
Thadd Blazevich: That’s right, bro! They were brothers and tag partners in the last Chamber they were in, but this time? This time, they’re the worst of enemies.
Rich Russillo: Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton now have the opportunity they both wanted, but at what cost? Things may have played out like this tonight, but at Road to Redemption, either one of them leave with the EAW World Championship, or they both leave empty handed.
(Captain Charisma remains on the stage, watching as the medical team tends to Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton. Both men are covered in blood, bleeding from their head, their backs, and from other areas such as Bronson’s hands, and around their throats due to the barbed wire. Both men are unconscious, not even having the chance to react to the information given to them. From there, Super Voltage fades from ringside.)
(A promotional ad for Road to Redemption is shown, with a match graphic for ToXXXin versus Drake Armstrong, Kai Rabeaux and Hans Grayson.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: AND IS FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!
(‘There Is Surely Tomorrow’ by WAGAMAMA RAKIA plays out Jay Jerry Johnson, who crouches down on the stage, looking focused ahead of his huge match tonight with Adam Lucas, and begins marching down the ramp with a determined look on his face.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing out of Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 223 pounds…HE IS THE ARTIST… JAY! JERRY! JOHNSON!!
Thadd Blazevich: Some are calling Jay Jerry Johnson the underdog heading into this, bro, but who doesn’t love a good underdog story? I know I do!
Rich Russillo: Jay is definitely the underdog heading into this match, and while it’s a bit far-fetched for him to win the title tonight, it isn’t impossible. Jay Jerry Johnson’s track record speaks for itself. That man is a multiple time Interwire Champion, and has gone toe-to-toe with the best of em.
Thadd Blazevich: Tonight, he’s going toe-to-toe with the very best of the best here on Voltage, Adam Lucas, guess we’ll see how he fairs, dude.
(“Everybody Knows (Unstoppable)” by Royal Deluxe plays next, and Adam Lucas walks out onto the stage. The World Championship is wrapped around his waist underneath his jacket, and Adam takes it off to raise it high above his head, triggering pyro while never taking his eyes off Jay Jerry Johnson in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent! Hailing out of New York City, New York, weighing in at 231…HE IS THE NEXT LEVEL…EAW WORLD CHAMPION… ADAM LUCAS!!
Rich Russillo: Adam is confident heading into this thing, believing that Jay made a mistake by challenging him, but I guess we’ll see.
Thadd Blazevich: Something Bethany Blue, and now Adam himself is learning is that there’s no denying Jay Jerry Johnson when he truly sets his mind on something. No amount of intimidation is going to work, or get into his head.
Persephone: Alright… let’s get this over with.
(The referee raises the World Title, and signals for the bell as both competitors stand in opposing corners.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: The bell has rung- AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS WASTING NO TIME GETTING AT ADAM LUCAS WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE FACE! KNOCKING ADAM BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Thadd Blazevich: RIGHT AWAY, CHARGING THE CHAMPION LIKE A BULL!
Rich Russillo: EARLY ON, LUCAS IS ROCKED IN THAT CORNER, AND JAY SCRAMBLES TO HIS FEET! LINING ADAM UP FOR A HARD SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST! ALTERNATING WITH THE OTHER LEG! GOING BACK AND FORTH! KICK AFTER KICK AFTER KICK TO THE CHEST OF ADAM LUCAS, WHO CATCHES IT!
Thadd Blazevich: Adam Lucas caught the boot, and SHOVES Jay down to the mat! BUT JAY ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET, AND RUNS FULL STEAM AHEAD AT ADAM AGAIN! OVERWHELMING HIM WITH RIGHTS IN THE CORNER AS LUCAS DOES HIS BEST TO COVER UP!
Rich Russillo: JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS FIRED UP! HE HAS BEEN SINCE THE OPENING BELL! HAVING A POINT TO PROVE AGAINST ADAM- WHO SHOVES JAY BACK ONCE AGAIN! AND HALTS HIS MOMENTUM WITH A BIG BOOT!
Persephone: Yeah, that’ll snuff whatever fire he came into this match with right out. :mjlol2:
(Jay pounds the mat in frustration while clutching at his jaw before rising up to a knee.)
Thadd Blazevich: Adam grabs hold of Jay, and drags him to the center of the ring for a standing side headlock! Looking to slow down the pace as he wrenches on the hold, and while he is wearing Johnson down, he might be looking to buy himself some time as well.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, Jay did quite the number on him to start off. Coming out like a house of fire from that corner. It isn’t often you get a chance the World Title, but once you do, it’s best you make the most of it, and that’s what Jay Jerry Johnson is doing right here!
Thadd Blazevich: Jay’s found himself in a bit of a jam, dude, and needs to find some way to get out of this as Adam continues tightening the hold!
Persephone: Yeah, listen to this idiot for once, and do something else. It’s been a long night already, are they trying to make me fall asleep?
Rich Russillo: Jay starts attempting to power out of it, looking to remove that arm from around his neck! Making some progress before Adam Lucas eventually overpowers him, regaining some control with the standing side headlock again! Continuing to wrench on it before Jay takes an alternative approach! Delivering forearm shots to the rib cage!
Thadd Blazevich: Yeah, and that’s loosening Lucas’ grip as Jay Jerry Johnson goes to bounce him off the ropes to escape! ADAM COMES REBOUNDING BACK WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE! FLOORING HIS OPPONENT!
(Adam looks down at Jay Jerry Johnson wincing on the mat, proceeding to trash talk him off-mic. Sending a message before running off the ropes-)
Rich Russillo: Jay! Jay rolls onto his belly, forcing Adam to hurdle over!
Persephone: See, if he didn’t waste all that time running his mouth…
Rich Russillo: Jay pops to his feet, and LEAPFROGS over- NO! LUCAS CAUGHT HIM IN A BEAR HUG! BUT JOHNSON QUICKLY FIGHTS OUT OF IT WITH PUNCHES! KNOCKING ADAM DOWN TO THE MAT, AND JAY HAS HIM MOUNTED BEFORE TRANSITIONING INTO A CROSS ARMBREAKER ATTEMPT! HOWEVER, ADAM HAS HIS HANDS LOCKED!
Thadd Blazevich: THEY’RE CLASPED TOGETHER, AND HE WONT BREAK THAT GRIP FOR NOTHING! REALIZING WHAT A DANGEROUS SUBMISSION HOLD A CROSS ARMBREAKER ACTUALLY IS! FORCING JAY TO PIVOT, AND MOVE HIM INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE! ADAM CANT BLOCK THAT, AND REACHES OUT FOR THE ROPES AS HE’S ALL ON FOURS!
Rich Russillo: LUCAS ISNT THAT FAR AWAY, BUT HE’LL HAVE TO GET A BIT CLOSER IF HE WANTS THE ROPES! REALIZING THAT, ADAM SWITCHES STRATEGY HIMSELF! RISING BACK TO HIS FEET IN THE TRIANGLE, AND STARTING TO DEADLIFT JOHNSON UP! GOING TO TRY AND POWERBOMB HIS WAY OUT OF THIS!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON HAS OTHER PLANS AS HE DETACHES HIMSELF FROM THE CHAMPION! LANDING ON HIS FEET, AND SWINGS WILDLY WITH A CLOTHESLINE! BUT ADAM LUCAS SLIPS BEHIND HIM, AND APPLIES A SUBMISSION OF HIS OWN WITH A SLEEPER HOLD!
Persephone: Who’s going to sleep first, me or Jay Jerry Johnson?!
Rich Russillo: JAY FLAILS AROUND, REACHING OUT FOR THE ROPES! BUT MANAGES TO SLIP BEHIND LUCAS INSTEAD, AND DELIVERS A SAITO SUPLEX! DUMPING HIM HIGH ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS! BUT ADAM LUCAS ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON MAKES IT TO HIS, AND STUNS ADAM WITH A “DRAGONSLAYER!”
Thadd Blazevich: SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE TEMPLE CAUGHT LUCAS OFF GUARD, AND HE IS STRUGGLING TO STAND! DOUBLED OVER AS JAY TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH A “SPRECHOR CROSSLINE!”
Rich Russillo: SENDING SHOCKWAVES DOWN THE SPINE OF ADAM LUCAS AS HE GOT SPIKED ON HIS HEAD! BUT GREAT AWARENESS FROM THE CHAMPION! ROLLING OUT OF THE RING BEFORE JAY COULD EVEN FOR THE COVER!
(Adam rolls out underneath the bottom rope, and onto his feet as he holds onto the ring apron briefly. Needing it to stand before staggering back, and dropping to a knee. Meanwhile, Jay is back to his feet inside the ring, fueling off energy from the fans.)
Rich Russillo: JOHNSON HAS A SECOND WIND IT LOOKS LIKE! DONNING AN INTENSITY THAT HASNT BEEN SEEN YET THROUGHOUT THIS MATCH, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES! BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A SUICIDE DIVE!
Persephone: If only he could committed actual suicide.
Rich Russillo: Wait, what? :comeagain:
Thadd Blazevich: JOHNSON ROLLS ADAM LUCAS BACK INSIDE THE RING, AND SLIDES IN HIMSELF AFTERWARDS! BUT ADAM IS ALREADY BACK TO HIS FEET, AND STAGGERS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES- GETTING CLOTHESLINED UP AND OVER THE TOP BY JOHNSON!
Rich Russillo: Adam hit face first on the apron his way down, and rises up to a knee ringside right in front of us. Going off that look in Jay Jerry Johnson’s eyes, I picture he’s going for yet another… SUICIDE DIVE!
(Adam Lucas hit the back of his head off the announce table, and Jay pops to his feet with the crowd firmly behind him, desperate to see Adam Lucas lose the title tonight.)
Thadd Blazevich: Adam Lucas clunked his head off our announce table, and he might seeing stars as Jay Jerry Johnson goes to roll him back inside the rin- NO! JOHNSON PIVOTS AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND SLAMS ADAM DIRECTLY OFF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE COVER INSTEAD!
Persephone: Oh, brother. I’m not getting caught in the crosshairs of this. Let’s get out the way first.
(Commentary team clear out, creating some distance as Jay slides the announce table cover off.)
Rich Russillo: Jay rolls Adam onto the announce table, and mounts him with PUNCHES! JAY LANDING BLOW AFTER BLOW TO THE HEAD OF ADAM LUCAS!
Thadd Blazevich: The referee is calling for both men to get back inside the ring! But Jay’s just ignoring him!
Persephone: Well, what’s he waiting for?! Count!
Rich Russillo: The referee doesn’t seem keen on doing that, not wanting a Championship match to end this way! Especially in the main event of F*ck Your Thanksgiving, our own Voltage special!
Persephone: Ugh, I guess.
Thadd Blazevich: Jay drags Adam back to his feet on our announce table- BUT ADAM! ADAM RAKES THE EYES OF JAY JERRY JOHNSON WHILE RETURNING BACK TO HIS FEET, AND PULLS HIM INTO A PILEDRIVER! PILEDRIVER ATOP THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! SPIKING JAY JERRY JOHNSON ONTO HIS HEAD!
Persephone: Lame. It didn’t even break.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, NO give for Jay Jerry Johnson!
(Adam rolls Jay off the announce table, and he lies sprawled out behind the desk as the camera zooms in on his face with Jay’s eyes being extremely glossed over, having got his bell rung.)
Rich Russillo: Guys, it’s not looking good for Jay Jerry Johnson… Adam spiked him on our announce table, and he looks lost. Jay might have no idea where he is currently as Adam Lucas is loving it!
(Adam sits with one knee up on the announce table, sadistically smiling as the crowd showers him with boos. Not that Lucas cares, however.)
Persephone: I mean, the referee can call the match at any time if he’d like to. Just saying…
Thadd Blazevich: Adam Lucas slides off the announce table, and stands Jay back up. Going to throw him back inside the ring, but Jay… Jay can’t even stand, and immediately collapses down to all fours ringside.
Rich Russillo: Adam seems annoyed at this point, having to drag Jay back to his feet in a front facelock, and finally rolls him back inside the ring!
(Adam has Jay hung over the apron in that front facelock…)
Rich Russillo: ADAM! ADAM HAS JAY HUNG OVER THE APRON, RAPIDLY CLUBBING DOWN ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND NECK REPEATEDLY! UPPING THE AGGRESSION!
Thadd Blazevich: Adam finally relents as Jay clutches the back of his head and neck, remaining hung over that apron as Lucas creates a bit of space for a BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD!
Rich Russillo: Jay Jerry Johnson rolls back inside the ring, and tries shaking the cobwebs out of his head as he sits up. Adam Lucas slides in himself, and STOMPS Jay directly onto the back of his head and neck area! Softening him up as he lifts Jay back to his feet, and directs him to the corner. Slamming Jay FACE FIRST off the top turnbuckle!
Thadd Blazevich: Adam positions Jay in that corner before winding back, and connecting with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! Johnson certainly felt that one as he staggers into another corner, hoping to create space from Lucas.
Rich Russillo: However, Adam is unrelenting in his assault, and catches up to Jay… scoring with yet ANOTHER knife edge chop across the chest! Jay is reeling, but pushes past Adam as he staggers his way over to the ropes. Desperate to create space, but Adam won’t let him. Continuing to be hot in pursuit, and leans Jay back against the ropes for a FOREARM! FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A THIRD KNIFE EDGE CHOP!
Persephone: Again? Cmon, do something different!
Thadd Blazevich: Uh, bros… that last chop might have woken Jay up as he marches to the center of the ring with Adam in tow. JAY KNEW ADAM WOULD FOLLOW HIM, AND SPINS AROUND TO DELIVER A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST! FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A FOREARM! ALTERNATING BETWEEN BOTH AS HE STARTS TO RALLY HERE!
Rich Russillo: CHOP! FOREARM! CHOP! FOREA- NO! JAY WINDED BACK FOR IT, BUT ADAM WAS QUICKER TO THE DRAW WITH A SURPRISE FOREARM OUT OF NOWHERE!
Persephone: Adam straight up knocked Jay onto his ass.
Rich Russillo: OVERWHELMING HIM WITH THE POWER! ADAM LUCAS IS NOT ONLY TECHNICAL, BUT HE CAN MATCH JAY IN THE HARD-HITTING DEPARTMENT!
Thadd Blazevich: JAY’S STUNNED OFF THAT FOREARM, AND ADAM ROUGHLY PULLS HIM BACK UP BEFORE CHUCKING JAY TO THE OUTSIDE! ADAM FOLLOWS HIM OUT THERE, AND SENDS JAY BACK FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
Rich Russillo: Jay’s sat up against those stairs, pain etched across his face as Adam Lucas closes in… kneeling down beside Jay, and grabbing his head to slam the back of it INTO THE STEEL STEPS! JAY’S WRITHING IN PAIN AFTER THAT ONE, AND ADAM SITS HIM BACK UP! SLAMMING THE BACK OF JAY’S HEAD INTO THE STEEL STEPS ONCE AGAIN!
Persephone: AGAIN, AGAIN! :mjlit:
Rich Russillo: Don’t tell me you’re actually enjoying thi- OOH! ADAM LUCAS INADVERTENTLY OBLIGES WITH YOUR REQUEST! SLAMMING THE BACK OF JAY’S HEAD OFF THOSE STEEL STEPS FOR A THIRD TIME! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
(Lucas rounds the corner as the referee gets out to check on Jay Jerry Johnson, who writhes in pain, holding the back of his head.)
Thadd Blazevich: The referee isn’t even focused on counting, he’s more concerned about Jay Jerry Johnson’s, and if he’ll have to step in order to stop this match.
Rich Russillo: Meanwhile, Adam Lu- oh no.
(The crowd reaction rises with a sense of dread as Adam pulls back a large part of the padding ringside, exposing concrete floor underneath.)
Persephone: :gladbron:
Thadd Blazevich: No, no, no… Lucas is UNDOING the already thin padding we have at ringside. It’s there for a reason. If somebody gets slammed on that concrete, they’re at risk to get seriously injured. As someone who’s done his fair share of deathmatches, this is one of the worst ways to hurt your opponent.
Rich Russillo: I believe that’s the intention. Adam Lucas wants to send a message to both Jay and any opponent that tries to challenge him in the future.
(The referee blocks Adam’s path to Jay, reprimanding him for his actions. But Lucas flat out ignores him, shoving the referee out of his way, and dragging Jay over to the exposed concrete area.)
Persephone: Serves that referee right! How dare he try and stop Adam Lucas from making this match entertaining!
Thadd Blazevich: Lucas puts Jay’s head between his legs, and is he going for the “Level Up” on concrete?!
Rich Russillo: I believe so as he hoists Jay up- WAIT! TRIED TO HOIST JAY UP! BUT COULD ONLY LIFT HIM SLIGHTLY BEFORE JAY FENDED IT OFF! ADAM GOES FOR IT ONCE AGAIN- BUT JAY COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP! BACK BODY DROP ONTO THE CONCRETE! JAY MIGHT HAVE TURNED THE TABLES ON ADAM LUCAS WITH THAT MANEUVER!
Thadd Blazevich: IF HE CAN CAPITALIZE, WHICH MIGHT BE EASIER SAID THAN DONE AT THIS POINT AS A LOT HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF JAY JERRY JOHNSON!
(Jay takes a moment to get his bearings together as Adam rises to a knee with help from the apron, favoring his back.)
Thadd Blazevich: Yes! Jay manages to grit through whatever pain he’s in, and roll Adam back inside the ring! Jay hops up onto the apron, and starts climbing to the top turnbuckle- BUT ADAM CUTS HIM OFF WITH A FOREARM! JOHNSON IS ROCKED ON THAT TURNBUCKLE! THOUGH, LUCAS ISNT DONE YET, AND CLIMBS UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE! HOOKING JAY UP FOR A SUPERPLEX AS HE CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAY SLIPS OUT THE BACK THROUGH HIS LEGS, AND CROTCHES ADAM FROM BEHIND ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Thadd Blazevich: Jay holds Adam up in a tree-of-woe, and PUNT KICKS HIM IN THE SPINE! FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A OVERHAND CHOP TO THE CHEST BEFORE LETTING ADAM HANG UPSIDE DOWN COMPLETELY! JAY HAS CRUEL INTENTIONS IN MIND, AND STARTS TO UNLOAD REPEATEDLY WITH SHOOT KICKS IN THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: DEJA VU TO EARLIER! EXCEPT ITS ADAM LUCAS COMPLETELY DEFENSELESS AS HE HANGS UPSIDE DOWN, GETTING PELTED WITH THESE KICKS! NOWHERE TO GO!
Persephone: What’s the count reached at this point?
Thadd Blazevich: NINE! AND JAY BOUNCES OFF THE OPPOSITE CORNER, BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR SPECIAL NUMBER TEN WITH A RUNNING FRONT DROPKICK TO THE FACE!
Rich Russillo: AND ADAM’S STILL HANGING UPSIDE DOWN IN THE TREE-OF-WOE, BUT HE IS NOT MOVING! JAY MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED HIM OUT WITH THAT FRONT DROPKICK, AND WASTES NO TIME IN GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET! SITTING LUCAS UP ON THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Thadd Blazevich: ADAM IS SLUMPED AS JAY CLIMBS TO THAT TOP ROPE HIMSELF! HOOKING HIS LEGS IN AS HE GRABS ADAM FROM BEHIND FOR A… SPIDER GERMAN SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: LUCAS GOT LAUNCHED, AND LANDED HIGH ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS! JAY SITS HIMSELF UP ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND TURNS AROUND TO PERCH HIMSELF AS ADAM IS IN PERFECT POSITIONING ON THE MAT! IN REACH OF THE DROPZONE AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON TAKES OFF WITH A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT ADAM LUCAS HAS ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! ADAM POPS TO HIS FEET AS JAY COMES CHARGING AT HIM, AND SLAMS JAY DOWN WITH A THRUST SPINEBUSTER! NOW, LUCAS GETS HIM IN THE “LUCAS LOCK!”
Rich Russillo: SHARPSHOOTER BY ADAM LUCAS! JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS IN A WORLD OF PAIN, AND MIGHT SUCCUMB TO THE “LUCAS LOCK!”
Persephone: I hope so, PLEASE hurry up and end this, so I can go home.
Rich Russillo: JAY PUSHES HIMSELF UP IN THE HOLD! REFUSING TO SAY DIE JUST YET AS HE CRAWLS FOR THE ROPES! JAY IS IN DIRE STRAITS, AND MOVING WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY AS THERE’S NO TELLING HOW LONG HE CAN ENDURE THIS PAIN FOR!
Thadd Blazevich: YEAH, BUT HE HAS TO LUG 238 POUNDS WITH HIM, AND THATS SLOWED DOWN JAY’S PROGRESS IMMENSELY!
Rich Russillo: JAY IS FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM THE ROPES, BUT ADAM IS FULLY SITTING DOWN ONTO HIS BACK! JAY’S SCREAMING IN AGONY, BUT CONTINUES TRYING TO REACH OUT! REALIZING HOW CLOSE HE IS!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ADAM REALIZES IT TOO! AND DRAGS JAY BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING IN THAT SHARPSHOOTER- BUT JAY HAD IT SCOUTED, AND WRAPPED HIS AROUND LUCAS’ LEG! TRIPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT BEFORE RISING UP INTO A SHARPSHOOTER OF HIS OWN!
Rich Russillo: “LUCAS LOCK” APPLIED ON ADAM LUCAS HIMSELF! CENTER OF THE RING! NOWHERE TO GO! IS ADAM GOING TO TAP?!
Persephone: I hope not, imagine losing the World Title to your own move. It’d be embarrassing… which now that I think about it, makes me want to see it even more now.
Rich Russillo: WELL, IF ANYBODY KNOWS HOW TO REVERSE THIS SUBMISSION, ITS THE MAN HIMSELF! AND ADAM ROLLS ONTO HIS BACK, GIVING JAY JERRY JOHNSON TROUBLE AS HE THRASHES AROUND ON THE CANVAS BEFORE SHOVING JAY AWAY WITH BOTH FEET!
Thadd Blazevich: ADAM SITS UP AS JAY BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, AND BLASTS HIM IN THE CHEST WITH A PENALTY KICK! LUCAS ROLLS THROUGH TO A KNEE OFF THAT IMPACT, AND JOHNSON QUICKLY MOVES INTO A FRONT FACELOCK! PULLING ADAM UP TO HIS FEET FOR A BRAINBUSTER!
Rich Russillo: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN, BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON MANAGES TO RECOVER FAST ENOUGH, AND DRAPES HIS ARM OVER ADAM’S CHEST FOR THE COVER! WILL THIS BE IT??
Persephone: Fingers crossed. 🤞
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
Rich Russillo: SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE! LUCAS HAVING JUST ENOUGH IN THE TANK TO KICKOUT OF IT!
Thadd Blazevich: Yeah, and here’s where the wear and tear for both dudes start to kick in as Jay is down! Adam is down! But they’re visibly not out, and whoever gets to their feet first will have a major advantage over the other!
Rich Russillo: Adam’s sharing a similar glossed over look in his eyes as Jay did earlier, reeling from that brainbuster.
Persephone: I’m reeling from fatigue set by this match.
Thadd Blazevich: Jay sits up, rising to his feet first, and proceeds to drag Adam back to his- BUT LUCAS EXPLODES WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! JAY JERRY JOHNSON SHRUGS IT OFF, AND IMMEDIATELY FIRES BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN!
Rich Russillo: ADAM GOES TO RESPOND! BUT JAY DUCKS UNDERNEATH HIS KNIFE EDGE CHOP ATTEMPT, AND CATCHES LUCAS WITH A FOREARM AS HE SPUN AROUND! NOT TO BE OUTDONE, ADAM LANDS A FOREARM OF HIS OWN IN RETALIATION?
Thadd Blazevich: ITS TURNED INTO A FULL BLOWN SLUGFEST! MIDDLE OF THE RING! BOTH BROS GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THOSE FOREARMS! LUCAS! JAY! LUCAS! JAY! LUCAS! JAY! LUCAS! JAY! LUCAS! JAY!
Rich Russillo: LUCAS! ADAM LUCAS OVERWHELMS JAY WITH FOREARM AFTER FOREARM! HAMMERING HIM REPEATEDLY! KNOCKING JAY DOWN TO A KNEE, AND ADAM RUNS OFF THE ROPES! GOING TO PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON JOHNSON WITH A BIG BOOT!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT JAY CATCHES IT! JAY CAUGHT THE BOOT, AND THE EXPRESSION ON ADAM LUCAS’ FACE HAS CHANGED AS JAY RISES BACK TO HIS FEET WITH IT IN HAND! PANIC HAS SET IN FOR ADAM!
Rich Russillo: JAY THROWS THE BOOT DOWN, AND JACKS LUCAS’ JAW WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! I MIGHT HAVE SEEN SPIT FLY AS JAY CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! THEN A THIRD! BACKING ADAM UP AGAINST THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT LUCAS REVERSES IT, AND SENDS JAY TO THE ROPES INSTEAD FOR A CLOTHESLINE! HOWEVER, JAY DUCKS UNDERNEATH! AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES A SECOND TIME, HAVING BUILT MOMENTUM FOR A LARIAT TAKEDOWN!
Persephone: Jesus, this match has been a rollercoaster. I don’t know who has the upper hand anymore.
Rich Russillo: ITS SHIFTED AT VARIOUS TIMES THROUGHOUT TONIGHT’S CONTEST! BUT RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS WELL IN HAND FOR JAY JERRY JOHNSON!
(Jay pulls himself up using the ropes as fiery intensity is in his eyes. Meanwhile, Adam Lucas was knocked silly by that clothesline, and groggily makes it back to his feet as well.)
Rich Russillo: JAY MARCHES OVER TO LUCAS, AND CATCHES HIM WITH A KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS LEG! DOUBLING ADAM OVER AS HE FAVORS THE KNEE, AND JAY SCORES WITH A PUMP KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! TURNING LUCAS AROUND FOR AN INVERTED EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Thadd Blazevich: JAY MARCHES TO THE CORNER AS ADAM LUCAS WRITHES IN PAIN, CLUTCHING AT HIS RIB CAGE, AND RISES TO A KNEE! JOHNSON SHOOTS OUT- BUT GETS POPPED INTO THE AIR FOR A “LEVEL UP!”
Rich Russillo: ADAM PLANTED HIM, BUT DIDNT GET ALL OF IT! GRABBING JAY BY THE ANKLE, AND ROLLING HIM THROUGH TO HIS FEET FOR ANOTHER POWERBOMB! BUT JAY COUNTERS WITH A GUILLOTINE CHOKE! WRAPPING HIS LEGS AROUND LUCAS’ WAIST! TRYING TO SQUEEZE THE LIFE OUT OF HIS OPPONENT!
Thadd Blazevich: ADAM DOUBLES OVER! CLOSE TO LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS AS JAY WRENCHES TIGHTER AND TIGHTER ON THAT SUBMISSION HOLD! BUT LUCAS REFUSES TO DROP HIS WORLD TITLE SO EASILY, AND MUSTERS UP ENOUGH STRENGTH TO DEADLIFT JAY UP FOR A SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAY SLIPS BEHIND HIM, AND WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND ADAM’S WAIST BEFORE DRIVING HIM STERNUM FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE FOR AN O’CONNOR ROLL! TRANSITIONED INTO THE PRAWN HOLD! JAY CALLS THIS UNIQUE PINFALL THE “WINGMAN REBIRTH 187!”
Persephone: Dumb name, but it might get him the win here.
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Thadd Blazevich: KICKOUT! ADAM BARELY KICKED OUT THERE, AND BOTH MEN RUSH BACK TO THEIR FEET WITH ADAM QUICKLY VERIFYING TO THE REF THAT WAS TWO BEFORE TURNING AROUND INTO THE “HEAVEN’S FEEL!” HE WANDERED RIGHT INTO IT!
Rich Russillo: LUCAS GOT DISTRACTED, ALBEIT MOMENTARILY, AND IT MIGHT JUST COST HIM! AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON MOVES INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
…
…
Thadd Blazevich: HOW ON EARTH DID ADAM LUCAS KICKOUT?!
Persephone: :noah:
Rich Russillo: THE RESILIENCE OF THE CHAMPION IS OTHERWORDLY! JAY JERRY JOHNSON CAME SO CLOSE TO BEING OUR WORLD CHAMPION!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT IN THE END, ADAM GOT THAT SHOULDER UP, AND MIGHT LIVE TO REGRET IT! AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BELLY, AND GETS HIM IN A GROUNDED FACELOCK! LANDING KNEES TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD AS HE GOES TO SOFTEN ADAM UP FOR A “JERRY SPECIAL ‘99!”
Rich Russillo: BUT LUCAS SLIPS OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! STRUGGLING TO STAND ON THE OUTSIDE AS JAY IMMEDIATELY SPRINGS INTO ACTION! RUNNING OFF THE ROPES FOR YET ANOTHER SUICIDE DI- WAIT!
Thadd Blazevich: ADAM LUCAS BLOCKS IT, AND POPS JAY ONTO HIS SHOULDERS FOR “LEVEL UP” ONTO THE APRON! “LEVEL UP” ONTO THE APRON CONNECTS, AND JAY DROPS TO A KNEE, FAVORING HIS BACK BEFORE LUCAS PULLS HIM UP INTO A FRONT FACELOCK! HEY, WAIT! HEY, WAIT!
Rich Russillo: DDT ON THE EXPOSED CONCRETE! DID YOU HEAR THAT THUD?!
(Jay lies on the floor, convulsing. Meanwhile, Adam Lucas rolls back into the ring, and demands the ref counts as he stumbles back into the corner, still struggling to stand.)
Rich Russillo: Lucas just demanded the referee count, and honestly? It might be for the best. Jay Jerry Johnson is out of it.
Persephone: Finally. I might as well start packing up now.
Referee: ONE! …TWO! …THREE! …FOUR! …FIVE!
Thadd Blazevich: Jay’s starting to stir, but I highly doubt he’ll be able to beat the count in time still.
Rich Russillo: Hell, even if he can, I highly recommend against getting in that ring with Adam Lucas.
Referee: SIX! …SEVEN! …EIGHT! …NINE! …TE-
Persephone: FUCK!
Rich Russillo: JAY MAKES IT BACK IN! JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! BUT ITS CLEAR GOING OFF THAT LOOK IN HIS EYES, HE’S OUT OF IT!
Thadd Blazevich: Jay rolled back in, perhaps out of instinct, and instinct alone…
(The referee kneels down to check on Jay Jerry Johnson as he’s got glassy eyes from that DDT on concrete. Regardless of not knowing where he is currently, he’s determined to make it back to his feet, grabbing onto the referee’s shirt for leverage as he rises to all fours-)
Rich Russillo: “WOKE!” OH MY GOD, ADAM LUCAS SHOT OUT OF THE CORNER TO PUNT DIRECTLY IN THE SKULL!
Thadd Blazevich: OH, CMON!
(Lucas tries to get at Jay Jerry Johnson again, practically foaming at the mouth. But the referee tells him to back off as he checks on a prone Jay. The lights are on, but there’s nobody home, and it’s likely he suffered a nasty concussion off the repeated head trauma suffered.)
Rich Russillo: God, I hope Jay Jerry Johnson is okay. But… he’s been DDT’d onto concrete, and punted in the skull by Adam Lucas. The referee is going to have no choice but to call this one off.
Thadd Blazevich: Seriously, there’s no way you can allow this match to continue. Jay Jerry Johnson is likely concussed. His eyes remaining eerily open, but absolutely no thought behind them.
Persephone: Yeah, kind’ve like you.
Thadd Blazevich: Not the time, bro.
(The referee goes to signal “X” to the timekeeper, but Adam Lucas shakes his head, and drags Jay back to his feet, forcing the referee to spin back around.)
Rich Russillo: “LEVEL UP!” ADAM LUCAS JUST LIFTED JAY BACK UP, AND DROVE HIM DOWN WITH ANOTHER POWERBOMB! THE BACK OF JAY’S HEAD BOUNCING OFF THE MAT! WAS THERE REALLY A NEED FOR THAT?!
(Adam drops into the cover, and yells for the referee to count. After a while of bickering, he finally drops down to all fours, reluctantly starting to count as Adam Lucas stares a hole into him to make sure…)
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Thadd Blazevich: He can’t be serious.
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
…
THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
…
…
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here’s your winner… and still the EAW World Champion… Adam Lucas.
(Even Bella Braxton is put off by Adam Lucas’ deplorable behavior as stunned silence in the arena gets replaced with “Everybody Knows (Unstoppable)” by Royal Deluxe. Adam Lucas rises to his feet, and snatches the World Championship away from the referee as he went to hand it to him, getting his hand raised over Jay Jerry Johnson’s near limp body.)
Rich Russillo: Jesus… Adam Lucas retains the title, but the real story is: Jay Jerry Johnson.
Thadd Blazevich: Jay is… in a bad way after that match. Having close to Championship gold, a house of fire as he soared through the ropes with a suicide dive, but as you can see, Adam Lucas snuffed that right out.
Persephone: :yikes: He was pretty much a goner after that DDT onto the exposed concrete.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, and more to come on this story later. Hopefully Jay Jerry Johnson is able to have a safe recovery, but Adam Lucas definitely didn’t make things easy for him, that’s for sure.
(Medical personnel slide into the ring, and tend to Jay Jerry Johnson on the canvas while Adam Lucas places the World Championship over his shoulder, looking down at the destruction he caused as the camera shows one last shot of the EAW World Champion. From there, the camera begins to fade from ringside.)
(Commercial for Fortnite Chapter 7 with Damien Kutcher.)
(For the final time tonight, F*ck Your Thanksgiving returns to the ringside area. ‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen begins to blast across the PA system and the crowd comes unglued with jeers as the Hardcore Champion, Dr. Bethany Blue appears once again. She is clapping her hands and holding her microphone, yelling over the music.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: HOW ABOUT THE WIN FROM ADAM LUCAS?!?!
(The crowd boos even louder considering how that match ended.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: You guys can boo all you want, but Adam had every right to finish that match the way he did! EVERY person signed to this company takes a risk whenever they get into the ring, and Jay is no exception. Adam is the EAW Champion, he was defending his title, and it was a total cop out for the referee to try and stop the match. I would have finished the match as well, just like my husband did, and if you don’t like it? That’s TOO BAD!
(Bethany is walking up the steps now and gets into the ring.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Now it’s my opinion as a medical doctor that Jay is going to be fine so all you morons who have your panties in a twist over what Adam did can relax. Your precious Jay Jerry Johnson will live to fight another day, but it won’t be as the EAW Champion.
(Bethany grins and lets the crowd make their noise. In fact, she eggs it on by putting her hand up to her ear. Finally after hamming it up for a few moments, she laughs and just shakes her head.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: You people are just so predictable. You boo the good guys and cheer for the villains. Make it make sense! I mean come on. I’m sure you all were hanging onto TLA’s every word earlier tonight when he claimed that I’m going to learn some kind of valuable lesson at Road to Redemption. Like, what’s there for me to learn? TLA, YOU STARTED THIS! You put your hands on me for absolutely NO reason, and you couldn’t handle it when I struck back at Wicked Games. I’m not sure why you ever thought I was just going to let things go and we were going to be okay, because that’s not how it works. I have NEVER been the type of person who lets other people push them around. I’ve stood up too and defeated the absolute best this company has to offer, and I certainly didn’t accumulate the accolades I have by being passive.
(Bethany has a disgusted look on her face.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: If anyone is going to learn a lesson at Road to Redemption… it will be YOU! That’s a fact. Now with that being said, it’s time to wrap things up tonight, hm? F*ck Your Thanksgiving was a good show, right? The best parts had Adam and myself in them, but I can’t deny that this was a pretty good way to send us all into the holiday season! Hopefully you people watch your diets going forward and stay away from sugar, carbs, and anything else that can continue clogging your arteries. I’m sure none of you will listen, which is a real shame, but that’s just how it goes. I’m sure I will see most of you in the ER before the holiday season is ov-
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac immediately interrupts Bethany before she finishes what she has to say, causing the crowd to erupt in response. The camera goes over to the stage as TLA is seen making his way out from the backstage area, a smile on his face as he throws his hands in the air, hyping the fans up before then beginning to make his way down the ramp, microphone in hand.)
TLA: Bethany! Amiga! Surely you don’t want to leave these fans here in Orlando on that low note, si? Nah, yo boi got something to say before we leave here tonight.
(Bethany looks annoyed by this as she shakes her head, momentarily looking away while TLA makes his way up the steps and onto the apron, entering into the ring.)
TLA: I ain’t know our Hardcore Champion was gonna get that uptight over a little hands-on action! Getting yo hands dirty is apart of the business, cabron. And if you can’t handle it, then maybe you ain’t as put together as you think, but that don’t mean that you get involved with my shit. You ain’t see me run down the ring and cost you dat match against Selina Reyes at Wicked Games. You won that fair and square, I’m not gonna take that away from you, but could you bear the idea that I was about to take that EAW World Championship away from Adam Lucas? Nah, yo ass couldn’t, that’s why you got involved. You might think you out here taking the moral high ground and shit because you ain’t get involved in my match at The Last Stand, but I’m closer than you think to doing everything I said I would and you can’t handle dat.
(TLA smirks, clearly not up in arms about anything that Bethany said, as he goes on.)
TLA: We can point fingers all we want, hombre, ain’t gonna stop you from tryna paint me as someone I’m not. What matters is what happens inside of the ring, when all that hablar goes away and we get into that straight lucha shit. And you gonna get into your cabeza real soon that the last amigo you wanna try and fuck with is me. I may have made you my problem, but you made me your problem, and that ain’t something imma let you get away with. Imma take that Campeonata and raise it into the air, and the most dominant Hardcore Champion that this company has ever seen ain’t gonna have shit once I’m done with her.
(The crowd cheers loudly as TLA makes his demanding statement. Bethany thinks to herself for a moment before raising her microphone up.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: TLA, I-
(THUD!)
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD! BETHANY TAKES HER MICROPHONE AND SLAMS IT AGAINST THE FACE OF TLA!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT TLA ISN’T TAKING THAT LIGHTLY, BRO! HE STAGGERS BACK BUT HE RETALIATES AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF HER BY THE HEAD AND BEGINS TO SEND REPEATED STRIKES DIRECTLY TOWARD HER FACE!
Persephone: Finally.
Rich Russillo: BOTH OF THEM ARE HOCKEY BRAWLING INSIDE OF THE RING! AND TLA ISN’T GOING SILENTLY, AS BETHANY IS BEGINNING TO REALIZE THAT TLA IS BEGINNING TO GET THE BETTER OF HER IN THE EXCHANGE!
Thadd Blazevich: SHE TRIES TO SHOVE TLA AWAY, BUT TLA IS QUICK TO RESPOND AS HE LEAPS UP AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A HURRICANRANA! BETHANY STUMBLES TOWARD THE ROPES AS SHE CLUTCHES A HOLD OF THE SECOND ROPE! BUT TLA HAS ALREADY TURNED AROUND AND RAN TOWARD THE ROPES! TLA CONNECTS WITH THE ‘305’! TIGER FEINT KICK CONNECTS!
Persephone: THIS WHOLE BULLSHIT BACKFIRED ON BETHANY LMAO! TLA LEAPS ONTO THE ROPES AND GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD-
Rich Russillo: BUT BETHANY WAS PLAYING POSSUM! SHE TAKES THE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP AND SMASHES IT ACROSS THE FACE OF TLA WHICH SENDS HIM TUMBLING DOWN OFF OF THE ROPES AND DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA!
Thadd Blazevich: TLA IS DOWN ON THE GROUND AS BETHANY NOW DROPS DOWN AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! SHE HAS HER TITLE IN HAND AS TLA MAKES HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET, LOOKING TO STRIKE TLA ONCE AGAIN WITH THE TITLE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE-
Persephone: BUT TLA MANAGES TO SNATCH THE TITLE JUST IN TIME AND TAKE IT AWAY! TLA STUMBLES BACK AS HE FOCUSES BACK ON-
Rich Russillo: BUT BETHANY USES THAT TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH THE ‘TJD’ DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! THE HEEL OF HER BOOT JUST MET DIRECTLY AGAINST THE FOREHEAD OF TLA AS HE’S DROPPED DOWN TO ALL FOURS! AND BETHANY ISN’T DONE HERE!
(CRACK!)
Thadd Blazevich: AS SHE LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘CONCUSSION PROTOCOL’! CURB STOMP ONTO THE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP AS DUDE, TLA MIGHT ACTUALLY BE IN CONCUSSION PROTOCOL AFTER THIS!
Rich Russillo: COULD THIS BE A PREVIEW OF WHAT HAPPENS AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION?!
(Bethany takes her title into her possession, smeared with TLA’s blood, as she puts a foot on his body and raises the title into the air, loud boos resonating through the arena while she does. It’s the very last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage then begins to fade to complete black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
