(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap is shown of last week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage, with Luis De La Rosa interfering in Lucius Crowe vs. Akari Kiyoko, while Michael S. Connor, Holly Arrow, Hikari Kanno, and Dr. Bethany Blue gets victories. Recaps are shown of Shock Value announcements and the newly confirmed Super Voltage, before it then goes over to the Arena Olympic Hall in Tangier, Morocco. Pyro is seen erupting from the stage as the crowd is in an uproar, excited for things to get underway. The camera then goes to the commentary booth where Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone are then seen standing by.)
Rich Russillo: Welcome to-
Persephone: THE LUIS DE LA ROSA SHOW!
Rich Russillo: … Sunday Night Voltage.
James Peters: We are just a week away from Shock Value, and what a show we got for you! Roberto De La Rosa faces AJ Redding! Valerie Hellstorm faces Jamie Cross! ARIA faces Mia Santoro! Jamie O’Hara faces Luis De La Rosa! And in the main event, the team of Charlie Marr and TLA face NICHOLISM! Let’s get right to it!
(Sunday Night Voltage transitions away from the broadcasting booth as ‘Bad Romance’ by Lady Gaga is blasting through the speakers of the arena. The crowd roars into cheers as Holly Arrow is seen making her way out to the stage. She has a smirk on her face as she looks around at the crowd in attendance before then proceeding to spread her arms out as she makes her way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… HOLLY ARROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kicking off the show tonight we have none other than Holly Arrow, who I’m certain has a lot to say after what happened last week even if it’s not her victory against Brianna Hill that she got in her return match.
James Peters: It was announced that Harper Lee would be the Special Guest Referee in her match against Hikari Kanno at Shock Value, and it perhaps does not sit right with her especially knowing what she would be able to do with that type of power. She looks to address that tonight!
Persephone: Kicking off the show with Holly Arrow… what happened to the game I love?
(Holly makes her way up the steel steps and onto the apron as she enters into the ring. She takes a microphone from the ringside area and makes her way toward the center of the ring. ‘Bad Romance’ begins to come to a close from there as Holly begins to speak.)
Holly Arrow: Morocco, I hope we’re doing well, I hope you’re all excited for Sunday Night Voltage. I promise not to take up much of your time, but I have a lot that I want to get off my chest and I felt the need to do it as soon as possible seeing as though we have only a week until Shock Value and a week until my match with Hikari Kanno, which was all going well until…
(Holly rubs the back of her neck.)
Holly Arrow: I have questions just as you do why Harper Lee of all people would be so adamant about volunteering to be Special Guest Referee in our match, but a part of me already knows the answer to that. Even though she apparently vowed not to butt into it at all, I already know for certain that is not going to be the case. I know that she’s going to do everything that she can to make sure that I don’t win, and it just does not sit right with me. Like she hasn’t already done enough to my career, like she already hasn’t put me through enough, now she wants to believe that she’s morally right and do what she feels is an act of “justice” by sticking her head into business that does not involve her. I know her, I know that even with all of her promises, just like all the partners that she has betrayed, she will do nothing but lie about it, which is the case now. There is no other reason why she would want to be the referee and she knows it, deep down, she is going to find every single loophole imaginable and it’s going to make me sick.
(Holly shakes her head, before shifting her body toward the stage with a serious expression still plastered on.)
Holly Arrow: I know you’re listening to this, Harper. I know that hearing all of this right now is happening to make your blood boil. So I’m not going to wait any longer. Go on, come out and try and convince me that you wouldn’t hurt a fly, we all know the truth anyway.
(Holly waits, but instead of what she expects to hear, she is met by ‘Trepanation’ by Millennium Parade which plays up. Hikari Kanno is seen making her way out as she herself does not look happy about what is happening with her Shock Value match.)
Rich Russillo: Well on the otherhand it seems Hikari shares the same sentiments as Holly, especially considering she was the one that Harper had begged to participate in the match with in the first place.
James Peters: Hikari made it known that if Harper tried anything, Holly wouldn’t be her only problem, and it seems that she’s coming out here today to elaborate on that.
Persephone: Holly Arrow AND Hikari Kanno kicking off Voltage… what happened to the game I love?
(Hikari enters into the ring as she makes her way over to take a microphone from the ringside area. ‘Trepanation’ begins to come to a close as she meets Holly face-to-face, not wasting anytime beginning to speak.)
Hikari Kanno: I apologize that I’m not the person that you exactly what out here right now, Holly, and I can only assume that the person that you want is going to make herself known very shortly. But just like you, it doesn’t please me that Harper is the referee in this match, I don’t like it any more than you do. I do not feel like I deserve to be wrapped up in all of your problems considering the only thing that I wanted out of this was a match to welcome myself back into the Sunday Night Voltage environment. But it’s clear that in a situation like this, I don’t have much of a choice. I already made it abundantly clear that I don’t want anything to take away from my win, if I win then I’m going to do it with a bullet. I can’t let anything detract from that, especially if the referee has a grudge against my opponent. I’m telling you right now, all that you need to focus your attention on is Shock Value and me and what I’m going to end up doing in order to get the win. I promised this before and I’ll assure you again, if she tries anything, I’ll make sure that she’s not even here long enough for you to get to her.
(Holly takes a moment to think about what Hikari is saying, and despite that she still makes her previous feelings known.)
Holly Arrow: I can’t deny that I’m still not very happy about all of this, if I had the choice then Harper would be nowhere near this match in the first place. It does a lot to take away from this and I’ve obviously had this on my mind the entire week. But despite that, I am still focused, and I know how much this match is going to mean to me and my career going forward. This is my first Marquee Match since my return, and it’s something that I do not take for granted at all especially considering the opponent that I’m facing. I know how good you are and what you’ve been able to do in this company, and regardless of what may happen, I am still walking into this match to win. So if the worst case happens and the odds are stacked against me at Shock Value, and if Harper decides to throw away all these threats and regardless try everything that she can to make sure that I don’t come out the winner, fine, I’m just not going to give her a choice. I’ll have no choice but to have her raise my hand and call me the victor.
Hikari Kanno: I’m glad that you feel that way because that is how I feel as well. That is the mentality that I have walking into this, it’s as if she isn’t there at all. Just like you I understand the importance of this match, and I have been looking to get my feet off the ground for quite some time, I do believe this is the way to do it. Just as I’ve accomplished a lot, so have you, and you’re not someone that I’m just going to take lightly, especially in a Marquee Event scenario. You are going to see the best out of me just as I will see out of you, and in the end, it’s going to be what leads me to have my hand raised instead. So while I have absolutely no qualms with you, Holly, at the same time I know what’s going to have to be done and it’s going to have to come at your expense as well.
Holly Arrow: That’s a risk that I’m willing to take, but unfortunately I’m not going to accept that outcome either. I have been waiting far too long for this. I have sat back and twiddled my thumbs for way too long and this time I am willing to make sure that I take action. I don’t have any problems with you either, Hikari, especially since there is someone far more wretched participating in all of this, but I also know that in order to progress my career further and take my game to the next level, then I am going to have to beat you. I am going to have to do whatever I can to make sure that you’re not a problem standing in my way. I have jumped through hurdle after hurdle since my arrival to this company, Shock Value is just going to be-
???: Alright, enough! Enough!
(The crowd boos loudly as they recognize the irritating voice coming from the speakers. The camera goes over as Harper Lee is seen storming out to the ring. She is clearly unhappy with what both of them are saying right now and plans to make it known as she makes her way down the ramp and toward the two of them.)
Harper Lee: I was going to let you two ramble about how much this match meant to you and whatever, especially considering that I don’t really care about it. But what I don’t like is both of you going out of your way to take potshots at me and throw baseless accusations my way, you have got to be kidding me! Look, Hikari, you and I already had a conversation about this, if there was one thing that I promised you it was that I wasn’t going to put my hands in this match. I was going to call it right down the middle and despite that it doesn’t seem to have really clicked in your mind just yet. That is fine, that is okay. But I’m going to show you how impartial I really am by making an announcement that would not just be beneficial to myself but to both of you. I am announcing that along with the inclusion of myself as Special Guest Referee in the match next week at Shock Value, it will be contested in an ELECTRIC WEAPONS MATCH!
(The crowd cheers as Harper climbs the apron and enters the ring.)
Harper Lee: Yeah, bet you didn’t expect that, did you?
(Hikari raises an eyebrow as she looks at Holly, who looks equally confused about this. They don’t seem to have complaints about the match itself and the new stipulation that has been placed on it, but still wondering about Harper’s true intentions in all of this.)
Hikari Kanno: I’m not exactly buying it either despite you apparently having listened to everything that I have already said toward you. I don’t feel like you care that you’re going to have me breathing down your neck if you try anything, and you’re willing to run that risk anyway if it means costing Holly the match. I do not believe that you possess any sort of good within you in order to do that, we all know the type of person you are Harper, even you do as well. This is a recipe for disaster and I refuse to let that happen to me just because you decided to try and get your way by the most impractical means.
Holly Arrow: I’m still personally questioning why you’d want to be the referee if it’s not to outright stick your hands into the match.
(Harper is clearly getting annoyed by all of this and is still trying to make people believe that she is going to play by the rules, regardless she is quick to defend herself.)
Harper Lee: Fine, fine, you really want me to prove it, don’t you? Well, that’s something that I was expecting, and I have the solution that’ll make all of us happy. I won’t just be refereeing your match next week, in fact, I’ll be refereeing the match between AJ Redding and Roberto De La Rosa coming up next!
(Hikari and Holly clearly look baffled by all of this.)
Harper Lee: Now shoo, shoo, I have a job to do.
(Harper gestures for them to leave the ring as Hikari and Holly, still apprehensive about all of this and still not buying any of what Harper is saying even if she happens to go the extra mile in her acts, regardless they do leave the ring. Harper taking a referee shirt and putting it on as she patiently waits inside of the ring for the match to occur is the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage fades to a brief commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for Shock Value, where Hikari Kanno faces Holly Arrow in an Electric Weapons match with Harper Lee as the special guest referee.)
(Sunday Night Voltage returns from commercial break, as Harper Lee is seen inside of the ring fitting a referee shirt onto herself with a smile on her face. At ringside, Hikari Kanno and Holly Arrow are seen as they’ve decided to stick around to witness the atrocities that might occur.)
Rich Russillo: Well before the commercial break, Harper Lee announced that she would be officiating the first match of the night, and it seems Hikari and Holly have stuck around to see if she’ll hold up her end of the bargain.
Persephone: Seeing Harper Lee more times than I need to… what happened to the game that I love?
James Peters: Well it’s certainly going to be an interesting dynamic that much I can say. And we’ll see if Harper is able to call it down the middle, maybe as a preview of Shock Value.
The camera then goes to show Bella Braxton at the center of the ring with a microphone in her hand, preparing to announce the upcoming competition. )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘From Now On’ by BAND-MAID hits the PA system as AJ Redding walks down towards the center of the ring, waving his hands to the crowd, showing a confident smile, then heading towards the ring, his gaze fixed ahead. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND!… WEIGHING IN AT 213 POUNDS!… ALL HEART AND SOUL!!!!!!!…. A!.. J!… REDDINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: AJ has a big opportunity tonight as he’s up against the current EAW Hardcore Champion. This might be AJ’s biggest challenge yet as he faces the champion himself. A very significant opportunity for AJ Redding tonight!
Persephone: Biggest? I really hope he shows just how much of a loser Roberto is compared to his cousin, who never leaves the winner’s circle.. Why? HE’S THE GOAT!
Rich Russillo: I don’t think this match is solely about AJ Redding. Here’s what I want to focus on: while AJ Redding certainly has a bright future ahead, Roberto has been dominant as the champion and nearly took down a team of formidable elitists at King of Elite with the strong power of La Familla. However, leadership doesn’t breed talent, but what occurred there has already established that Roberto is undeniable.
Persephone: All da dicks in his mouth, man!!!
James Peters: Ironic.
Persephone: Oh please James, I already took one.
James Peters: Alright, one more and your mic is muted.
( AJ enters the ring and slowly heads to the corner, warming up for the match and getting himself prepared for the battle. Then, ‘El Gavilan’ by Luis R Conriquez (Feat. Peso Pluma & Tony Aguirre) plays as Roberto De La Rosa slowly walks out, exuding confidence despite the weight of his own pride. Roberto shows a cocky smile while looking up at AJ, who waits for him inside the ring, proudly displaying the Hardcore Championship and flexing it in the bright light before throwing it over his shoulder and making his way down to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: HIS OPPONENT!… FROM HIDALGO, MEXICO!… WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS!…. HE’S THE EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION!… EL PADRASTRO!…. ROBERTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…. DEEEEEEEEEEE LAAAAAAAAAAAA ROSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: AURA OF A CHAMPION! :blessed:
Persephone: Tf you mean “aura”??? Bro has -5 charisma as soon as he puts that dumbass smile on his face. Who tf let this guy being the champion? This is such a fucking letdown.
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa here has his task set straight against a rookie who is still seeking more experience. Roberto also stated that he’s confident about winning tonight’s battle not because of his arrogance but because he has proven himself at a level that could be considered high and above.
Rich Russillo: And for that reason, he wants to see if AJ can come close to that success tonight by proving himself worthy against the champion!
Persephone: Talking about levels, brother you are BOTTOM OF THE BARREL, let alone that shit.
Rich Russillo: Hey, come on, give the champion a break. We don’t have to witness you showing hatred towards him every time he makes his entrance.
Persephone: He’s not going to fuck you, okay? Stop being so defensive, jesus fucking christ.
Rich Russillo: :wtf:
(Harper checks on both Elitists before signaling for the bell, a smirk on her face as she eyes Hikari and Holly.)
( DING DING DING! )
James Peters: A young blood looking to prove himself against the machine of the Hardcore Champion himself! AJ Redding is facing off against Roberto De La Rosa right now and this is going to be a very interesting matchup to see whether AJ is going to surpass him or if Roberto is going to leave him at the drawing board tonight. This is a very huge opportunity for AJ too!
Persephone: Harper is already annoying me.
Rich Russillo: Well she is the referee so you’re just going to have to suck it up. Anyway, AJ has been performing exceptionally well since his debut, while Roberto has been reigning as the EAW Hardcore Champion since his victory at Road to Redemption. Tonight, we will witness what’s at stake for both men! AJ is currently making his way to the center of the ring, aiming to take control of the champion himself by engaging in a tight collar and elbow tie-up!
Persephone: Who really let these morons kicking off the show so people can leave the arena just right by the beginning of the match? Why do you guys booking the wrong De La Rosa too? He’s the worst in his bloodline!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: That might be because we are going to see where the champion’s priority leads to right away tonight! Roberto is now able to duck the arms instead and just getting AJ locked up tight in a side headlock, looking to scoop him to the ground as well!
James Peters: AJ lands and counters Roberto with an armdrag, sending the champion rolling on the canvas!
Rich Russillo: Roberto rolls back to his feet and attempts to size up his opponent for a counter, but AJ anticipates his move and swiftly turns him around!… A HARD FOREARM FROM AJ!
James Peters: That’s sure one hell of a way to draw the first blood, as the champion is almost knocked back away by the right forearm from AJ himself. AJ now takes a step forward and tosses him down towards the ropes…
Rich Russillo: A rebounding shoulder tackle just takes down AJ!
Persephone: YOU SUCK! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: Roberto quickly makes a run, AJ slides underneath, back to his feet with a leapfrog over Roberto. AJ takes a turn to wait for Roberto this time, but the champion leaps over his back and right into the Sunset Flip roll!… INTO A COVER! ALREADY!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
Hikari Kanno & Holly Arrow: :francis:
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT AT ONE BY AJ REDDING! Both men rise to their feet simultaneously, with Roberto initiating an attack against AJ, aiming to bring him down with a devastating clothesline, spinning him around! AJ performs an incredible maneuver, flipping underneath Roberto’s arm and positioning himself to lift him off for a powerbomb. However, Roberto swiftly escapes and rebounds back from the ropes… SPEAR!
James Peters: RUNNING RIGHT INTO THE SIT OUT BLUE THUNDER BOMB BY AJ REDDING! A COVER BY AJ REDDING THIS TIME!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
Rich Russillo: KICKING OUT DESPITE THE NASTY LANDING! Roberto can be seen rolling to the outside of the ring, where he is trying to endure the pain, clutching his spine which took a hard crash!
James Peters: AJ is poised to seize the advantage, charging back from the ropes and seemingly aiming to take the champion out!…. SUICIDE DIVE TAKES OUT THE HARDCORE CHAMPION!
Persephone: How could you let some random jobber taking you down this much like this? See if it was Luis De La Rosa now, he wouldn’t have any issue to handle this kiwi dumbass from dollar general Australia!
James Peters: The champion is down, but not his opponent, that’s for sure. AJ wastes no time in picking Roberto right back up from the ground and sending him rolling back into the ring. AJ follows suit, rolling Roberto over again for a cover! AJ is showing desperation in his attempts to defeat the Hardcore Champion and secure a significant victory!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
Persephone: SHUT UP!!!
Rich Russillo: THE EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION KICKS OUT, SHOWING HIS DETERMINATION NOT TO DISAPPOINT HIS FANS JUST YET ONCE AGAIN! AJ is certainly giving his all to try to defeat the champion, but trying alone won’t suffice. He must go beyond mere effort because the more he tries, the more likely he is to face failed attempts. He needs to reach a point where he commits fully and achieves success. Perhaps that’s what will ultimately lead to AJ Redding shining!
Persephone: I’d rather be blind or just kill myself.
James Peters: Roberto needs to sharpen his focus and ensure he has everything in the right order. AJ still maintains control of this match, slowly guiding him towards the corner. AJ follows up by landing a running chop across Roberto’s chest, causing visible pain!
Rich Russillo: AJ then sends Roberto to the ground with a snapmare and continues to press his advantage… WHAT A JUMPING KNEE TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! AJ isn’t finished yet; he picks Roberto up from the ground and sends the champion down towards the ropes once they both get back to their feet… ANOTHER JUMPING KNEE AND DROPPING INTO A COVER!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
James Peters: STILL A KICK OUT! The champion stands his ground strongly against his opponent. It’s going to be a hard-knock life for AJ Redding to get through Roberto tonight as he ensures everything is safe and secure. Roberto has his own reasons to prove himself as the champion tonight against a young gun who is emerging as a tough cookie that Roberto has to beat.
Rich Russillo: AJ IS NOW DRAGGING ROBERTO FROM THE GROUND THIS TIME, AND HE COULD BE LOOKING TO PUT AN END RIGHT ONTO THE CHAMPION HERE EARLIER! THE CHERNOBYL BOMB SEEKS A WAY TO PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN ROBERTO’S COFFIN HERE! AJ’S GOT HIM!
James Peters: TWISTING HIM AROUND AND TRYING TO CONNECT THE DISCUS LARIAT, BUT ROBERTO HAS JUST BEEN ABLE TO DUCK UNDERNEATH AGAIN, RUNNING BACK FROM THE ROPES AND DODGING SWIFTLY TOWARDS AJ REDDING! CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL BY ROBERTO!
Rich Russillo: THAT HELL OF THE CLOTHESLINE HAS JUST TURNED AJ REDDING ALL AROUND, AND HERE COMES ROBERTO ONCE MORE, DRAGGING HIM RIGHT BACK AFTER THE CLOTHESLINE HAS JUST CONNECTED PRECISELY AND LOOKING TO NAIL THE SECOND BLOW!…. AJ REDDING HAS BEEN SLAMMED TO THE GROUND BY SAITO SUPLEX! THERE GOES A COVER!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
James Peters: A KICK OUT BY AJ REDDING, BUT THAT HAS JUST FORCED ROBERTO TO MAKE A MOVE IMMEDIATELY RIGHT AFTER THE KICK OUT HAS BEEN DONE, JUST BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE!
Rich Russillo: ROBERTO MAKES HIS WAY UP ONTO THE TOP CORNER, NOW WITH BOTH FEET STANDING TALL UPON THE TOP ROPE AND HE COULD BE LOOKING FOR A HIGH-FLYING MANEUVER! AJ REDDING STILL DOWN ON THE GROUND!…
James Peters: FROG SPLASH FROM THE TOP! A COVER AGAIN!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
Rich Russillo: A kick out yet again by AJ Redding. Both men have been trading pinfalls back and forth, but nobody’s coming close to making a push towards the finish line down here! Both men are struggling against each other, but surely there must be a time when they will eventually rise to the occasion!
James Peters: AJ can now be seen rolling down to the outside of the ring, trying to hold himself back. Roberto gets himself back on track, spotting AJ on the outside, and he thinks that this would be a perfect spot to land a big one right here.
Rich Russillo: Roberto now shifts his movement and makes a run from the ropes, backing down toward AJ and could be looking to launch himself off the ring!…
( The crowd begins clapping in support of Roberto as soon as he pounds the ground, encouraging them to clap along with him. Roberto slowly rises from his knees back to both feet and then begins gesturing with the bow and arrow motion towards AJ before transitioning into a revolver gun motion. He runs towards the ropes and rebounds back towards AJ Redding while inside the ring. )
Persephone: Gahdamn bruh, why these people hype for a glorified jobber????
James Peters: EL REVÓLVER DORADO! THE ARROW FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL SUICIDE DIVE AND DOWN GOES AJ REDDING!
Persephone: That’s a dumbass taunt from the biggest dumbass in the family. Luis could do it better.
Rich Russillo: AJ has been pushed back hard, and Roberto has taken the advantage, surging ahead in the battle here. Roberto, slow but steady, secures his way back to his feet before sending AJ rolling back into the ring.
James Peters: This time around, Roberto rolls back inside, and he’s not seeming to be done just yet, running right towards the ropes and coming back to AJ!… SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! PICTURED PERFECT! THERE GOES A COVER!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
Rich Russillo: KICKING OUT BY AJ REDDING! AJ has been constantly showing as well that he’s not backing down from the fight just yet, while Roberto is still going to have a tough time figuring out just how he could fight out of the situation by putting AJ down once and for all. Sure, he has a hard time, but showing just how formidable AJ could become when he steps into that ring and makes the right move for himself.
Persephone: You guys are saying all of that and hyping him up just for him to suffer the most embarrassing loss he could possibly endure. This guy isn’t legit; stop believing in these self-aggrandizement claims.
Rich Russillo: Well, you wouldn’t know. AJ Redding has been doing his best so far, and he might be able to show just how legit he is! Maybe you should watch the product more closely!
Persephone: Dawg, shut your fatty ass lip up and do your fucking job. I’m not here to argue about AJ REDDING with you.
James Peters: Both feet back on the ground again, Roberto makes his move once more while AJ is trying to recover as soon as possible. Roberto turns around, looking forward to having things go down in a way he didn’t want them to.
Rich Russillo: He picks AJ back up to both feet and quickly nails a sharp forearm, almost sending AJ all the way towards the back!
James Peters: AJ is back and replying with his own! Roberto pushes back, countering with his move this time!
Rich Russillo: AJ jumps off and lands the Enzuigiri, taking Roberto down to the ground, and now running towards the ropes to make a rebound… RUNNING DOWN AND CONNECTING WITH THE JUMPING YAKUZA KICK!
James Peters: ROBERTO JUST BARELY DUCKING HIS HEAD IN AT THE VERY LAST SECOND AND FINDING HIS FOOTING RIGHT BACK ON TOP, RUNNING DOWN TOWARDS THE ROPES THIS TIME AND COMING BACK TOWARDS AJ REDDING FROM THE ROPES!… TALON DE ÁGUILA-
(All of a sudden, the sounds of ‘Won’t Back Down’ by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena, the crowd coming alive as Roberto stops himself and looks at the stage while AJ collapses back down to the ground.)
Rich Russillo: WELL WE SHOULD’VE EXPECTED THIS! THE LT. COLONEL IS HERE AND HE SEEMS READY TO HANDLE BUSINESS WITH THE HARDCORE CHAMPION TONIGHT!
James Peters: ROBERTO CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! THIS WAS A LOT MORE THAN HE COULD HAVE BARGAINED FOR!
(Michael S. Connor is seen briskly making his way out to the ring as Roberto is yelling at him to stay back and get away from this match. Referee Harper Lee keeps her eye on a swivel as both Michael and Roberto are seen arguing with each other. The two have no love loss for each other tonight, but before long…)
Harper Lee: Oh.
Rich Russillo: ROLL UP! FROM BEHIND! AJ REDDING COMES ALIVE AND TRIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE! NO WAY IT ENDS LIKE THIS!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..
Harper Lee: THREE!
….
….
….
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
James Peters: KICK OUT! EVEN WITH THE INTERFERENCE! ROBERTO STAYS ALIVE!
(Michael smirks at this, appreciating that Roberto is still quick on his feet in spite of that. He stays at the bottom of the ramp, lingering while Roberto is clearly wide eyed about all of this getting back up.)
Rich Russillo: ROBERTO NEARLY LOST THE MATCH THANKS TO HIS CHALLENGER! BUT HE RUSHES TOWARD AJ AND TRIES AGAIN FOR TALON DE ÁGUILA-
Rich Russillo: A SPEAR ATTEMPT IS COUNTERED WITH A JUMPING HIGH KNEE EXECUTED PRECISELY BY AJ REDDING AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! ROBERTO RISES FROM THE GROUND, STILL CLUTCHING HIS JAW IN PAIN!
Persephone: BAHHAHAHDHE#HWHHHAHHAHWH WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: AJ REDDING MAKES A SPIN! SPINNING BACK ELBOW FROM AJ!…
Rich Russillo: RIGHT INTO THE DISCUS LARIAT, TAKING HARDCORE CHAMPION TO THE GROUND COMPLETELY! AJ HAS JUST NAILED THE 3 STEPS TOWARD DEFEAT COMBINATION AND IS NOW LOOKING FOR A VICTORY! HERE’S A COVER!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
James Peters: STILL A KICK OUT! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA IS STILL LOOKING TO THRIVE FOR ANOTHER DAY AND AJ REDING IS STILL A LONG WAY FROM VICTORY!
Rich Russillo: BUT WITH THAT COMBINATION OF MOVES, IT COULD TELL A DIFFERENT STORY, BUT WE JUST DON’T KNOW IF HE’S TRULY GOING TO GET THERE! KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRODUCT RIGHT NOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THIS IS THE ONE YOU WOULDN’T ALL WANT TO MISS!
Persephone: I’m going to bed.
James Peters: AJ COULD BE SEEN REACHING DOWN THROUGH THE ROPES TO THE APRON. HE POSITIONS HIMSELF AT THE APRON WITH ROBERTO JUST GETTING BACK TO HIS KNEES! AJ HAS REGAINED HIS MOMENTUM IN A SHORT TIME, AND HE’S GOING TO LAUNCH HIMSELF OFF THE ROPE!…
Rich Russillo: COULD BE LOOKING FOR HAKAI! THE SPRINGBOARD METEORA-
James Peters: SPEAR!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT IN THE MID AIR!
Persephone: What?! What?! Can you guys stop yelling at me???
Rich Russillo: ROBERTO JUST CUT AJ IN HALF RIGHT IN THE AIR WITH A SPEAR! AND THERE’S A COVER! HE’S LOOKING FOR A WIN! TALON DE ÁGUILA CONNECTS AND ROBERTO COULD BE TAKING A WIN BACK HOME JUST RIGHT HERE!
Harper Lee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
Harper Lee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..
Harper Lee: THRE-
James Peters: THERE’S NO WAY!
Harper Lee: KICK OUT!!! 🎊🎉
Rich Russillo: ROBERTO COULDN’T BELIEVE IT! IT’S LIKE HE HAS JUST SEEN THAT GOD PUNISHMENT IS REAL! AJ REDDING HAS JUST KICKED OUT OF THE SPEAR AT ONLY TWO AND IS ABLE TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS MATCH WITH MORE POTENTIAL IN BEARING ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!
James Peters: WOULD THIS REALLY BE JUST THE FIGHT FOR AJ AT THIS POINT? EVEN AFTER THAT KICKOUT, HE HAS PROVEN TO BE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH!
Rich Russillo: Already knowing, Roberto De La Rosa has earned this championship spot for a reason, and for AJ Redding to have it all ruined, he’s not going to let the champion at all, and he’s making headway towards down to hop to his feet…
James Peters: PICKING AJ ALONGSIDE WITH HIM AND HE COULD BE PROMPTED TO PUT THE END TO HIS REIGN NOW! ROBERTO HAS IT ALL SET UP AND AJ REDDING HAS BEEN ALL LOCKED TIGHT HERE!… ATTEMPTING TO DRAW THE CALLING CARD!
Rich Russillo: JUST WHEN ROBERTO THOUGHT HE HAD ANOTHER ACE UP HIS SLEEVE, HE FAILS TO CONNECT THE MOVE, WITH AJ REDDING AVOIDING AND GETTING OUT FOR THE RAPID COUNTER, THROWING HIS ARM AND LOOKING TO TAKE ROBERTO’S HEAD OFF WITH A DISCUS LARIAT!

AJ Redding: :comeagain:
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) See! Look at me, Hikari, Holly! Ring awareness is on max! I’m the perfect referee!
(Hikari and Holly both simultaneously roll their eyes at the comment.)
James Peters: AJ REDDING COULDN’T BELIEVE THE TYPE OF DECISION THAT HAS JUST BEEN MADE, BUT THAT’S SURELY NOT MAKING HIM HAPPY AT ALL!
( AJ shakes his head in frustration and puts the ground, slowly rising back to his feet and begins taking his wrist tapes off while looking down at Roberto and walking towards him with aggression. Michael S. Connor at ringside shakes his head in disappointment about this turn of events.)
AJ Redding: (Off-Mic) That’s it. You’re done here!
Rich Russillo: AND NOW AJ IS PICKING ROBERTO DE LA ROSA BACK UP! AJ SEEMS POISED TO BRING THIS MATCH TO A DECISIVE CONCLUSION RIGHT HERE!…
James Peters: HE’S GOING FOR THE ‘ULTRA CHERNOBYL BOMB’!

Harper Lee: No kick out. 😔 RING THE BELL!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘El Gavilan’ begins to play through the speakers of the arena as Roberto De La Rosa rises back up to his feet. Harper Lee makes her way over and raises his hand in victory, proud of the good job that she did officiating this match.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Roberto doesn’t take much time to celebrate though, he’s right out of the ring as he confronts Michael S. Connor on the ramp. The two of them are arguing with each other as Roberto does not at all seem happy that he meddled with this match.)
Rich Russillo: OH AND HERE WE GO! THIS HAS BROKEN INTO A BRAWL AS ROBERTO AND MICHAEL ARE TRADING SHOTS WITH ONE ANOTHER! OFFICIALS ARE SEEN SWARMING IN TRYING TO BREAK THIS UP BUT BOTH OF THEM ARE LOOKING TO TEAR INTO EACH OTHER!
(While this chaotic brawl is going on, Harper is seen taking off her referee shirt and dusting off her hands as she leaves the ring and confronts Hikari and Holly.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) See?! I told you I could do this whole ref thing! You can trust me!!!
(Both Holly and Hikari look at eachother, both of them not really caring much for this, having not proven much, as they leave the scene.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) Guys?! Where are you going! Come back!
(Harper sighs and shakes her head as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Shock Value, where Alex Myers faces Ruler.)
(Voltage comes back from break as we waste no time, panning into the middle of the ring. Captain Charisma stood as he had a microphone in his hand. He has something sitting next to him that was unseen from view. He made a circle around it, as he spoke.)
Captain Charisma: Let me start by saying, Alex Myers and Ruler have a one of a kind history here in Elite Answers Wrestling. Unique by the fact you could say.. “Well there’s been plenty of stories that have had similar paths.” But that is disrespectful to Alex and Ruler. They have competed in every aspect between each other. For championships, they’ve fought knowing only one of them is going to come out the winner, laying so much on the line.. It is a legacy only few can replicate. But I see two competitors who wish to grow every single time they are in that ring. I recognize that Alex Myers, they are often critical of themselves. I realize Ruler, he wants to stray back on that path he was once on. I recognize that both of them wanna accomplish something special. And here on Voltage, we only want that, special. The match they are going to compete in at Shock Value is going to be something incredible. These are two competitors who will do anything for the betterment of themselves. But also, they’ll do that for each other. This is a match with two people who will go to war with one another, but even more than that. They go to war for each other. This is going to be an emotional, violent bout that happens in this ring. Which is why, the match that Alex Myers and Ruler will be having at Shock Value..
(Captain Charisma walked over to the covered object, grasping the cloth. With a moment of hesitation, building up that suspense in the arena, he took the cloth off to reveal: an electric chair.)
Captain Charisma: The match that Alex Myers and Ruler compete in at Shock Value ladies and gentlemen, will be an Electric Chair Match!
(Captain Charisma continues to pace around the ring, as he looks at the electric chair.)
Captain Charisma: It’s going to be grueling, it’s going to be violent. And it is going to be possibly one of the most intense matches EAW has ever had in its entirety. But I want to bring out Ruler and Alex Myers, I want the honest raw reaction from them that I can receive. This is absolutely something they are gonna want to discuss in that ring, so with that said. Alex, Ruler? Can I get both of you out here?
(Captain Charisma waited in the ring as after a short while, Alex Myers and Ruler walked out and onto the stage. They were accompanied by no music, but it was really selling the tone. Alex enters the ring first as they grab a microphone, and Ruler follows not far behind them. Now both members of NICHOLISM stood in the ring, Captain Charisma and the presence of an electric chair also.)
Captain Charisma: So, electric chair match. This one will be gruesome, how does this change the match as we know it?
(Alex was the first one to answer the question, raising up their microphone.)
Alex Myers: Quite frankly, I don’t know if anything changes. Does it change anything for you, Hunter?
Ruler: Nothing changes. If anything, it just makes it matter all that much more, Alexis.
Alex Myers: I agree, Hunter. I know what you might think of me, you may see me as an inferior individual, and sometimes. That seeps in through my head, my morale gets kicked around a lot. But then I come into conditioning with myself, and I realize how wrong you truly are. When are you gonna see it, Hunter? You are dictating my career, but only look at the bad moments. And it’s not right, no one views a career by the bad moments, nor the good ones. I have a full fledged career filled with good moments, and filled with bad moments. But what you get wrong, is that the good still outweighs the bad. I don’t know what it is that I gotta do…I don’t know how far I gotta go, but if this was to push me, then I’m being pushed. I am gonna crack every boundary possible, I’m gonna take every step necessary. I am going to, and I HAVE.. to prove you wrong, Hunter. I am going to, and I have to, and I NEED to prove you wrong. This isn’t “Oh, they’re telling me what I’ve already heard”. This is me breaking through and making sure you understand it completely. Even if you don’t believe in me, you’re still my friend. And that’s what I think, makes it hurt more. To see the other side of this one, I have to be the one that wins at Shock Value.
Ruler: Alexis, here’s the thing. You are my friend, you are my tag team partner. But the last outings we’ve had, you haven’t given me what is required. As a friend, I think you are remarkable. I think you are there when needed. I just don’t think you are accomplishing what is necessary for you. I don’t want to tell you what it is, Alexis. Believing in you has been so difficult lately, and this match at Shock Value.. It’s a reaction exactly how I expected. You aren’t listening to anyone but yourself, but even then. You aren’t listening to yourself deep down. I am doing this so I can protect you. I am not giving up on you, Alexis. I’m not abandoning anything. I am just telling my belief. I am not gonna lose to you at Shock Value, I am sorry. Borderline, this electric chair changes nothing for me. This match was always going to be hard, and that’s because of what I’m telling myself in my head. I have to protect my friend. I have to be the one that leaves the victor. It’s for the best interest of us both. But when you are sitting in your failure, you will be relishing in the fact that you have plenty of time to get your priorities straight, and get everything back together.
Alex Myers: You can continue to say these things about me, but my priorities are straight, my priorities are set on one thing. This match, my priorities aren’t on anything else, but making you a believer out of Alex Myers. You are wrong, Hunter. You are absolutely wrong about me, you are basing this off of a stupid statistic. You can’t “protect me”, when you’re protecting me from absolutely nothing. This is all something that YOU, are thinking in your own head. I have no reason to be protected, I have no reason to sit here and let you doubt me, and try to kill my confidence. You can’t take me down. You are just being overzealous and you gotta get this fixed, Hunter. I don’t want things to end like this, at Shock Value, I’m gonna have to beat some sense into you.
(Alex said, as they stood on their point, making sure that Ruler could take in everything that they had to say.)
Ruler: I just don’t know when you’re really going to get it, Alexis. But I am doing all of this, because it’s better for you. I sit here and listen to your words, you speak of passion. You speak with fire in your phrase, you are coming at me, looking to deny every point that I can possibly even make.. But that is just where the issues spawn, Alexis. Where is this to all the other people who need to hear this? Why is it that I am the only one receiving this version of you?
Alex Myers: You are just telling yourself that so you have something to say Hunter, you’re just trying to push this narrative into the ground. Look, Hunter. This is going to be proving grounds for me. I love you, but I will make sure you fry in that electric chair.
(Alex looked at Ruler, as Ruler listened to the last line, nodding as he just listened to Alex Myers, before he spoke once more.)
Ruler: That was a line you definitely improvised, but it had depth to it. It had meaning in it, all of these words have. For the better of NICHOLISM, I will walk out of Shock Value the victor. But I listen to your words, Alexis. I hear them loud and clear, but at the end of the day, this is your protection. But so it be.
(Ruler placed his microphone down, as he left the ring. Alex looked on, as they watched Ruler go backstage. After a moment, and a final glance at the electric chair, they too would leave as well. Voltage would soon fade elsewhere after the intense back and forth of NICHOLISM.)
(Promotional ad for Shock Value, where Charlie Marr defends the EAW World Championship against TLA in High Voltage.)
( Sunday Night Voltage continues as the crowd is excited for what’s in store later tonight on this show after what was an electric opening match between Roberto De La Rosa & AJ Redding. ‘Bewitched’ by Frank Sinatra would blast through the P.A System as Bea Valentine makes her presence known here on Voltage. Bea however doesn’t like to be exquisite or passionate without her beloved Gloria. She looks like in a sour mood, depressed even as she starts to make her way down the ramp with Cornelius behind her, carrying a water bottle and a towel for Bea who’s clearly go a through a tough time at the moment. )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… “THE QUEEN BEA”… BEA VALENTINEEE!!!
(Hearing Bella calling her the Specialist Champion, makes Bea even more depressed as continues her walk down the ramp. )
Rich Russillo: It’s been a rough couple of weeks for our current EAW Specialist Champion. We saw the tensions between both Bea and Valerie last week with Valerie holding on and stealing the title away from Bea after beating her in a non-title match weeks ago here on Voltage. It’s safe to assume Bea Valentine isn’t having the greatest time right now.
James Peters: That’s an understatement Rich, Bea is in a complete state of distraught over losing her precious Gloria to Valerie. While Valerie isn’t considered the champion right now, she thinks she’s earned that right by beating Bea Valentine. It’s like a Movie Star losing their oscar, or losing their supporting star, it makes them feel incomplete, exposed and embarrassed. Bea wants her baby back, and is desperate enough to once again face Valerie and this time that title is on the line with the possibility that she could lose her baby for real.
Persephone: God I love this bitch being depressed, and it was great that my sugar boo Luis De La Rosa was the one that took Bea’s title and gave it to Valerie. God, don’t you guys just love this?? Like I prayed for this and it happened you guys??
James Peters: I think that’s going a bit too far, as Bea sees herself as the center of attention and this massive transcended star, even I feel a little bad for her.
Persephone: Nah not me, I’m loving every moment of this bitch’s meltdown.
( Bea continues making her way to the ramp, looking depressed and upset as one can be. She climbs the steel steps as Cornelius follows suit. Cornelius lowers the rope for Bea Valentine to enter and as she does, Cornelius also gets handed a microphone from a ring-side official. Cornelius hands Bea the microphone as Bea stands in the middle of the ring, with her music slowly fading away. She begins to speak towards the audience here tonight on Voltage. )
Bea Valentine: These last few weeks for me have been… the most stressful weeks of my young life. Traumatized by what has occurred to me and what has occurred to… hold on… I’m not gonna cry… CORNELIUS! TOWEL!
( Cornelius hands Bea a towel as she wipes the tears off her face as she continues to speak on why these last few weeks have been stressful. )
Bea Valentine: Again, it’s a very emotional time for me. You must pardon my behavior ladies and gentlemen because I don’t have my baby. I don’t have my significant other, my rock, my sweet precious darling… GLORIA! She has been stolen from me, and in order for me to win her back, to have her back in my arms with a natural influence I have to fight the women who took her away from me. I have to fight Valerie Hellstorm again and if you think that’s horrible, what I learned earlier today has made me even more upset, more appalled over what has happened to me because If I want Gloria back in my arms, I have to face Val in a Electric Eel Deathmatch.
( The crowd cheers for the announcement of the stipulation as Bea takes on Valerie in an Electric Eel Deathmatch. Bea notices the reaction to the crowd and butts in and says… )
Bea Valentine: No, No, No… WE SHOULD NOT BE CHEERING FOR THAT STIPULATION! You know how ridiculous that match sounds, all to get back my sweet little Gloria, my baby that I didn’t lose in the first place. She should be in my arms, as I rock her to sleep and feel her gold rubbing on my face. She should be here with me, because without her I am just a low budget star. One step closer to being offering adult rated films instead of the big blockbusters because Gloria completes me ladies and gentlemen. She makes me whole and right now I feel worthless. Cornelius has been helping me the best he could but the pain that I’m going through right now is something you all can never imagine. You all don’t have the connection that a star does to her supporting actress, and damn it she should be here with me! All because of Valerie and the sneaky little mannequin Luis. To go through a match like I have to go through at Shock Value it’s all just….
( Bea would soon be interrupted by ‘Good 4 u’ by Olivia Rodrigo as we all know who’s coming out right now. It’s Valerie Hellstrom as she’s still holding onto the EAW Specialist Championship that she got from Luis after defeating Bea a few weeks ago. Valerie has a smirk on her face as she holds onto the title tightly. She gives the title a nice little smooch as this makes Bea even more infuriated. Valerie puts the title around her waist as she already has a microphone. As her music fades away, she begins talking while making her to the ring. )
Valerie Hellstorm: Seeing you pour your heart is quite the move Bea. I mean you speak with such passion towards Gloria but your little baby is starting to love her new home Bea, I’m starting to think she loves me more than she loves you!
( Valerie continues making her way down to the ring as Bea starts to get even more angry as we see Cornelius trying to calm Bea down and not let her explode like she did last week. Valerie makes her way to the steps as she climbs them and stands on the apron. She continues talking to the champion.)
Valerie Hellstorm: Listen, I found out the stipulation just like you did. I was informed the same way just like you but unlike you, Bea, who is crying, and whining about having to face me in an Electric Eel Deathmatch, I don’t mind the stipulation. I don’t have any problem whatsoever because I know that I’m going to be winning this match just like how I won in our match a couple weeks ago. When I beat you once more Bea, I will officially be recognized as champion and Gloria will be at her home… permanently.
Bea Valentine: OH SHUT UP YOU SCOUNDREL! You are walking around this place with MY BABY! Whatever you’re saying about Gloria loving to be with you is just simply not true and what you have done these past couple of weeks, your blood will be paid in debt Val, believe me on that. You’re gonna pay for taking my baby away, and your blood will have my name written on at Shock Value. You see, let’s be a little honest Val, let’s all be honest about you because you could never actually be the real Specialists Champion. No matter how you carry my baby, no matter how many times you wanna kiss it, it will never be yours darling, and what happened two weeks ago on Voltage, will for sure not happen again. I can promise you that.
Valerie Hellstorm: That’s real cute Bea, I love the attempt but I’m not impressed. I’m not impressed with how you have conducted yourself these past few weeks and it goes to show without this title, you are mentally deranged. You live your life day by day with this by your side, and without it you’re a complete mess. If this is what you are without the title in your possession, I would love to see the meltdown you have when it officially becomes MINE at Shock Value. You should be glad, though Bea, be glad someone like me stepped up to the plate. Stepped to be someone actually sane enough and fit enough to be champion and carry around Gloria. She’s actually needed a stable holder for a while.
( Valerie would smirk as Bea has heard enough as throws a punch towards Valeire sending her to the outside! Valerie drops to the floor as Bea gets out of the ring and starts attacking Valerie. All hell has broken loose as Bea has snapped over the many remarks Valerie has said to her. )
Rich Russillo: BEA HAS HEARD ENOUGH! SHE AND VAL ARE GOING RIGHT AT IT HERE ON THE OUTSIDE! PUNCH THROWN BY VAL, PUNCH THROWN BY BEA, IT’S PANDEMONIUM GOING RIGHT NOW!
James Peters: Security has quickly come out to deescalate the situation! They’re separating both ladies from one another as the tension between these two have reached another level!
( Valerie and Bea are separated as Valerie still has the Specialist Championship around her waist. Bea is taken to the back while Valerie stays ringside as she prepares for her upcoming match with Jamie Cross that’s happening shortly. Sunday Night Voltage heads to commercial break. )
(Promotional ad for Shock Value, where Bea Valentine faces Valerie Hellstorm in an Electric Eel Deathmatch for the Specialists Championship.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Good 4 u’ by Olivia Rodrigo plays to boos from the crowd as Valerie Hellstorm is seen already in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Already in the ring from Las Vegas, Nevada she is “The Girl Boss” VALERRRRRRRRRRRRRIE HELLLLLLLLSTORRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
(Valerie Hellstorm is seen waiting in her corner, strategically looking ruthless and conniving. She is shown carrying the EAW Specialists Championship on her shoulder.)
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm is out here alone but you know that she is carrying all of La Familia in her heart.
James Peters: Recently Valerie managed to defeat her longtime rival Bea Valentine and despite the belt she is carrying around she is NOT the champion. She has been taunting Bea all week and you just know the champ must be seething right now.
( She’s All I Wanna Be – Tate McRae hits!!!)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent from Chicago, Illinois she is “The Main Character” JAMMMMMMMMIEEEEEEEE CRRRRRRRRRRROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
(Jamie Cross comes on down to the ring making a beeline for the ring not wasting any time.)
Rich Russillo: Jamie has been in the ring with Valerie before and clearly has not forgotten the experience! She is here to get her some!
James Peters: Jamie Cross has been on a comeback arc lately and hasn’t lost very many matches and tonight she is coming for Valerie to continue her good luck!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: This match is now underway as Jamie Cross and Valerie Hellstorm feel each other out in the ring getting ready to lock up and get this thing started. Both competitors lock up in the middle of the ring and it looks like Valerie is shoving Jamie backwards into the corner! Jamie tries to battle back but the strength of Valerie is too much to overcome! Valerie shoves Jamie back hard into the corner shoving her back into the turnbuckle paddings. The referee calls for the break which Valerie does after a moment having proven her dominance in the strength department so far.
Valerie Hellstorm: (off-mic) Come on you can do better than that chica!
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm is taunting Jamie Cross who exits out of the corner with a serious and determined look on her face. She is not going to back down and not allow herself to be big leagued by the likes of Valerie! Jamie aggressively locks up with Valerie again in the middle of the ring battling her way out of the corner and fighting back! Impressive strength here from Jamie… but it doesn’t last! Valerie quickly shoves Jamie back into the corner but Jamie uses the momentum to shove Valerie up against the ropes! Valerie pushes Jamie back out into the ring but Jamie spins around and throws Valerie back first into the corner! Jamie did it as the referee calls for the break.
Jamie Cross: (off-mic) You’re right I could do better! But can you?
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm is visibly enraged now as she busts out of the corner but Jamie Cross goes to lock up. Valerie ducks under and grabs the arm of Jamie and twists it around into an armbar but Jamie rolls out of it back up to her feet and frees herself from the clutches of Valerie. Jamie mean mugging Valerie which causes her to back off strategically for a moment. But Valerie won’t allow herself to be intimidated either as she quickly regains her composure and charges in with a Running Clothesline!-
James Peters: No! Jamie Cross ducks under the Clothesline from Valerie Hellstorm! Valerie is sent into the corner and is now eating repeated chops to the chest from Jamie! Valerie’s chest being lit up here with this assault as Jamie has her trapped where she wants her. Jamie grabs Valerie in the corner and whips her across the ring… reversal from Valerie! Jamie sent across the ring but grabs Valerie as she comes flying back across! Jamie throws Valerie backwards with a Belly to Belly Suplex! The cover from Jamie!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Why is the first pin never the last pin?
Rich Russillo: I’m sure it has happened before. Tonight is not the night it will happen however. It is worth mentioning that Valerie Hellstorm and Jamie Cross both have experience being in the ring with each other. So you know that you are dealing with two competitors who kind of know what they are getting into. Unfortunately on Voltage however you never do quite know what you are getting yourself into when you step in the ring. Jamie pulling Valerie back up to her feet as she chops her up against the ropes. Jamie whips Valerie up off the ropes throwing her to the opposite side of the ring aggressively. Valerie comes running back… and she throws herself at Jamie taking her down with a devastating Spear! Valerie with very impressive strength out here tonight just laying waste to her opponent on behalf of La Familia. Valerie picks Jamie back up and tosses her by the neck into the corner. Jamie sent flying across the ringside area crashing into the corner. Valerie charges in with a running Splash to the corner! She gets all of it crushing Jamie who falls into her arms. And Valerie lifts Jamie up high into a Suplex position!!!-
James Peters: No! Jamie Cross falls down behind Valerie Hellstorm and grabs her by the arms. Jamie tosses Valerie backwards with a Bridging Dragon Suplex! Jamie bridging into a pin on Valerie!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kick out with authority by Valerie Hellstorm as the bridge from the Dragon Suplex by Jamie Cross is successfully broken! Both competitors now back up to their feet! Valerie goes for a Clothesline but Jamie lunges into a somersault roll dodging it! Jamie back up to her feet and catches Valerie hard in the jaw with a Roundhouse Kick! Valerie staggers back up against the ropes as Jamie runs in with a Clothesline of her own! But Valerie ducks beneath! Valerie tosses Jamie high up into the air and over the top rope!!!
James Peters: But Jamie Cross lands on the apron successfully! Jamie fires back with a hard right hand as Valerie Hellstorm turns around and finds that she is still on the apron! Jamie with another strike to the face sending Valerie reeling. Jamie now climbing up to the top rope and measuring Valerie in the middle of the ring as she looks to take to the skies with a daring dive! But Valerie cuts her off! Valerie with repeated strikes to the face knocking Jamie down on the top rope! Jamie falls down into a seated position as now Valerie is climbing up the ropes and looking to grab on at Jamie! Valerie hoists Jamie up into a Super Plex position from the top rope! She pulls and tries to yank Jamie off the top rope!!!
Persephone: Yes! Kill her!!!
Rich Russillo: But Jamie Cross is fighting back! Both competitors struggling in a very dangerous position as Jamie throws hard right hands into the face of Valerie Hellstorm! Jamie even headbutting Valerie and… she managed to knock her off! Valerie falls back first into the ring and rolls back up onto her feet! But Jamie springs off the top rope!!! Flying Body press from Jamie!!!-
James Peters: But Valerie Hellstorm catches her in midair! Valerie catches Jamie and whirls her around into a Death Valley Driver she transitions it sideways and drops Jamie with a Burning Hammer! This one has to be all over! Valerie to the cover!!!!
Referee: ONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Holy shit! Jamie Cross kicked out of the Burning Hammer! What an absolute legend!!! Valerie Hellstorm is shook! But Valerie is not too shooken to continue this match as she stomps down hard on the arm of Jamie. Jamie rolls away from Valerie holding her arm in pain as she pulls herself up on the ropes. Valerie kicks at the arm of Jamie causing her to stumble backwards into the corner. Jamie catches herself in the corner as Valerie pulls her out of the corner and sends her across the ring with an Irish Whip. Valerie catches Jamie on the rebound and picks her up! Valerie going for the Final Flash!!!-
James Peters: But Jamie Cross is able to slip off the back of Valerie Hellstorm! Jamie falls down to the mat in her escape and rolls to the outside of the ring! The referee is beginning the countout as Jamie catches a breather knowing she was one move away from losing this matchup.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Persephone: TEN!
Rich Russillo: That’s not how you count my queen. There are many more numbers between three and ten. Similarly… Jamie Cross is getting quite a bit of space between her and Valerie Hellstorm as she walks around the ring catching a breather. But Valerie Hellstorm is not going to wait around for Jamie to get herself back into the ring! Valerie rolls to the outside of the ring and she is in full pursuit of Jamie here! Jamie runs around the ring evading Valerie as she rolls back under the ropes and into the ring. Valerie follows after… but as soon as she gets up on the apron Jamie grabs her! Jamie yanks Valerie over the top rope and yanks her through the ropes… Hanging DDT off the ropes! Smart move there by Jamie who laid the trap and Valerie fell right into it! Jamie with the cover!!!
Referee: ONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Kickout by Valerie Hellstorm! Jamie Cross turning the tide with that maneuver there as Valerie rolls out of the ring herself trying to escape but Jamie stays on her!

Jamie with impressive elevation as she leaps and comes down successfully on Valerie! The cover!!!
Referee: ONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm kicks out! Jamie Cross is not pleased with this as she is very determined to win this match as she seeks to make a real name for herself on Voltage this year. We have seen the results last time they faced off but clearly Jamie is going to need to take a more aggressive approach here to win. Jamie climbs on top of Valerie and begins to pummel her with repeated strikes to the face. But Valerie tosses Jamie off of her and begins to deliver her own strikes to the face of Jamie. Valerie trying to turn the momentum around on her side but Jamie throws her off! No wait! Valerie grabs the arm of Jamie and wrenches her around into a Cross Arm breaker! But Jamie with the ring awareness to grab the ropes as the referee calls for the break.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! Break it up right now!!!
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm reluctantly releases the hold. But Valerie immediately with repeated elbow strikes to the skull of Jamie Cross! Valerie bashing the brains of Jamie in repeatedly until she is completely motionless. Valerie with another cover now.
Referee: ONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kick out from Jamie Cross! Very resilient! Valerie Hellstorm now pulling Jamie back up and throwing her into the corner. Jamie is clearly dazed from those elbow strikes as she struggles to stand up in the corner. It also doesn’t help that Valerie charges in with shots to the face and forearms repeatedly striking Jamie until she falls down in the corner. But Valerie pulls Jamie back up and whips her across the ring to the opposite corner-
James Peters: But somehow it looks like Jamie Cross was able to reverse it and throws Valerie Hellstorm into the opposite corner instead! Valerie charges out… and a Superkick to the face from Jamie sends Valerie flying back first into the corner. Valerie kicks at Jamie from the corner as she approaches but Jamie sidesteps it and grabs the leg. Jamie throws the leg down over the middle rope causing immense pain for Valerie who nearly falls over from imbalance as her leg is thrown over the ropes. Valerie shoves Jamie backwards and removes her leg from the ropes. Jamie charges in but Valerie ducks and agents Jamie up over the top rope and landing down feet first on the apron. Jamie punches Valerie back before leaping up to the top rope and propelling herself over the top rope to grab Valerie and drop her in midair with a Cutter! Jamie to the cover!!!
Referee: ONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kick out by Valerie Hellstorm! Jamie pulls her back up… but Valerie out of nowhere with a Small Package!!!
Referee: ONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Please three.. please… I can’t take it anymore.
Rich Russillo: No! The kickout! Jamie Cross back up quickly as Valerie Hellstorm meets her in the ring prepared to throw down once more. Valerie staggers back into the corner off a series of hard chest chops from Jamie. Jamie whips Valerie out of the corner… no the reversal! Valerie with extreme strength sends Jamie running face first into the turnbuckle and bounces off landing in the ring. Valerie helps Jamie up holding her by the arm before twisting around behind her into a German Suplex position! Valerie tosses Jamie back with a perfect form German Suplex throwing her all the way across the ring aggressively! Valerie now with Jamie where she wants her in the middle of the ring dancing around her stomping the various limbs of her opponent just picking her off here now. Valerie lifts up the legs of Jamie and drives her knee down hard into the side of Jamie’s leg really digging in now and doing some damage.
James Peters: Jamie Cross slowly back up now as Valerie Hellstorm stalks her from behind. Jamie turns around… Right into a Running Clothesline from Valerie sending her right back down! Valerie pulls Jamie up again and hits another Clothesline! No wait! Jamie ducks it! Now Jamie fighting back with repeated shots to Valerie up against the ropes… but Valerie bursts off the ropes and takes out Jamie with a Running Spear! Valerie gets all of it! Valerie then grabs Jamie and picks her up as she twists her around into position… ORA ORA RUSH FROM VALERIE CONNECTS!!! The cover!!!
Referee: ONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: But Jamie Cross kicks out! Valerie Hellstorm is convinced that was it and she is yelling at the referee that it was three. But the referee insists it is two! Valerie getting all up in the referee’s face and she better watch it or she is going to get disqualified! Valerie with repeated strikes to the top of the head of Jamie! Valerie is ripping the hair out of the head of Jamie before transitioning into a Sleeper Hold! Jamie falls limp in the ring and she might be out of it here… wait no! Jamie did that on purpose to fall down to the mat and drag Valerie with her as she maneuvers her leg up and over towards the ropes and the referee demands the break!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! Come on Valerie break it up now. I’m getting real sick of your shit. :ufdup:
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm releases the hold as it seems like her antics have nearly pushed the referee to a breaking point! But Valerie doesn’t give a fuck! She is confronting the referee and backing him into the corner! Don’t do it Valerie! It’s not worth it-
Rich Russillo: Wait! Jamie Cross is up already??? Jamie runs up on Valerie from behind and pulls her down into a School Girl rollup! Jamie with the steal!
Referee: ONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: No! Valerie Hellstorm kicks out just in time!
Persephone: I wouldn’t be. I would understand if the referee counted faster even if it was unfair.
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm is pulled back to her feet by Jamie Cross, AND NOW JAMIE LIFTS HER UP BEFORE-
James Peters: NO! VALERIE SLIPS BEHIND JAMIE BEFORE GRABBING HER, AND SHE TURNS HER AROUND FOR HOLLOW PURPLE!!!! HOLLOW PURPLE CONNECTS ON JAMIE CROSS, AND THAT’S GOTTA BE IT!!! VALERIE HELLSTORM WITH THE COVER!!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… VAAALLLERRIEEEE HEELLLSTTORRRMMMMM!!!!!!
(‘good 4 u’ hits, and the fans in attendance boo as Valerie Hellstorm returns to her feet. She doesn’t care to have her hand raised by the referee, instead rolling out of the ring and retrieving the Specialists Championship. Valerie raises the Championship up in the air with a grin on her face, beginning to walk around the ring and head back up the ramp.)
James Peters: Love her or hate her Valerie was able to get the job done and send a message to the actual Specialists Champion, Bea Valentine. Jamie tried, but she could not defeat Valerie!
Rich Russillo: That’s right, and- WAIT A MINUTE!!!!
James Peters: MIA SANTORO IS HERE, AND SHE’S ATTACKING JAMIE CROSS!!!!!! MIA IS BEATING DOWN ON JAMIE, AND NOW SHE PULLS HER UP BEFORE SENDING HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!!! JAMIE’S SHOULDER HIT THE POST, AND NOW MIA PULLS HER OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE DOING THE EXACT SAME IN THE OPPOSITE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: MIA PULLS JAMIE OUT OF THAT CORNER, AND NOW SHE RUSHES BACK BEFORE SENDING JAMIE’S SHOULDER INTO THE POST FOR A THIRD TIME! JAMIE FALLS DOWN ONTO THE MAT, BUT MIA QUICKLY PULLS HER BACK UP- BEFORE HITTING HER WITH THE SAFE PASSAGE!!!!!!
James Peters: SAFE PASSAGE CONNECTS ON JAMIE CROSS, AND JAMIE IS OUT!!!!!! MIA SANTORO SENDS A HUGE MESSAGE TO JAMIE!!!!
(Mia Santoro receives boos for the attack following Jamie’s match, but Mia doesn’t seem to care. She rolls out of the ring, beginning to walk back up the ramp. As Jamie is seen laid out in the ring, Voltage fades from ringside.)
( Sunday Night Voltage fades back in to show to the backstage area of Arena Olympic Hall in Tangier, Morocco where Sunday Night Voltage is emanating from. The camera would focus on Molly Waters as she is standing in front of a large LED background covering the Voltage graphics with an interview set replicating a wrestling ring. Molly is seen wearing one of her typical outfits that she does for interviews. She gives a nice smirk towards the camera, looking professional as one can be as she begins speaking to the fans who are watching in the arena, and those watching on their television screen. )
Molly Waters: Ladies and gentlemen… Please welcome my guests at this time… Akari Kiyoko and Lucius Crowe!
( Akari and Lucius come into the scene, with Akari entering from the right while Lucius enters from the left. They both look disgruntled over what happened during their match last week here on Voltage. Molly asks them some questions regarding the whole situation. )
Molly Waters: Thank you for joining me tonight gentlemen… Last week we saw you guys were having a competitive back and forth match. Everyone was having a great time watching that match unfold until Luis De La Rosa came in, taking you guys out with a double clothesline causing the match to be ruled as a no contest. Do you guys have any thoughts or feelings towards your match getting ruined like that?
( Lucius would be the first to speak as Molly leans the microphone towards him. )
Lucius Crowe: It’s bullshit Molly, it’s absolutely bullshit and as much as I don’t like the man that’s across from me, we were having a great fight, to see who was the better competitor. I know in my heart that I was going to be the better man but I guess we couldn’t find out that answer because of the bullshit that little weasel, Luis De La Rosa did last week. I’m not happy at all with what happened and as much as I gave a lot of shit to Akari, his ego isn’t as big and shitty as Luis. Luis hasn’t paid his dues, he hasn’t made his mark, hasn’t done jack shit to earn anyones respect and only gotten in this company through various means aka his older brother. While Luis was over here doing countless jobs for his family, I was grinding for the last ten years. Grinding, paying MY dues in this business in a world full of weak minded people, comes along a bounty hunter of his kind. Luis is definitely no hunter and what he did last week, the price will be paid from either him or the shitty little family.
( Molly then leans the microphone over to Akari as he then begins speaking on Luis De La Rosa and what he did during his match with Lucius last week. )
Akari Kiyoko: I share the same sentiments with the man I faced last week in Lucuis Crowe. We were having a great match Molly, a match that I believe I could have won but again we don’t know how it would have turned out because of what Luis did and that’s really unfortunate. He got himself involved in our business and for what? He wasn’t a fan of myself and Lucius squaring off in a match? How ignorant and selfish one human being can be is pretty astounding. We weren’t bothering anybody, we weren’t disrespecting his family or him, we were having a match to see who was the better man between myself and Crowe, and he just had to ruin the fun for everybody. Molly, that man is gonna pay for what he did, he’s gonna answer for it and whether that’s me getting a match with Luis or Lucius getting a match with him… or hell even the both of us…one way or another… that man is gonna pay for the disrespect and dishonorable stunt he pulled on us.
???: Boys… Boys… Boys.
( Lucius and Akari’s interview would be interrupted as the mysterious voice reveals themselves to be Luis De La Rosa. The crowd in the arena watching the segment would boo at Luis’ appearance while you can hear one girl scream loudly for him, most likely Persephone. Luis crashes the interview and inserts himself in with a huge smile on his face. Luis begins to talk about why he did what he did last week. )
Luis De La Rosa: You perros need to relax man. I did y’all a favor last week when I took your heads out with that double clothesline. This talk of me having to pay up or that it was disrespectful and dishonorable for what I did is kinda ridiculous. You guys are getting way too heated for something that has made you guys have more eyes watching you. I mean let’s be honest hombres, nobody was paying attention to that match. You can act like that the EAW Universe was invested and whatever, but nobody really cared. All they saw was two nobodies going at it, and it didn’t matter who won or who lost. I came in there and did everyone a favor and because I don’t think anyone really cared how that match was gonna go. I’m THE star you guys, I’m the real deal, I’m a part of La Famila. We run Sunday Night Voltage. We run this town, and we run this brand. People have their attention on my familia, and thus they pay attention to me because I’m the brightest star. So if anything, I should be given props from you two, you should be grateful for what I did last week. Because of my so-called dishonorable actions, you two were the talk of the town and are even getting this interview time. I raised your respective stocks. Where’s the gratitude??
Lucius Crowe: Gratitude? Gratitude for what? Ruining our match because in your words nobody cared for it? You did nobody a favor by interfering in the match, in fact what you said last week was that you were ashamed that Captain Charisma would book a match like that between myself and Akari. If anything, you just made yourself public enemy number one to the bounty hunter. You made yourself a target for me now for what you did, you don’t deserve any props, what you do deserve though is an ass-kicking.
Luis De La Rosa: Woah easy there cabron! I don’t fight nobodies, I don’t need to fight you because I’m going to be future champion here in EAW. I’m making strides that neither you or Akari can comprehend. I’m about to destroy Jamie O’Hara later on tonight! Y’all don’t know what it’s like to be in a great family like the one I’m in right now, yall have no clue and it’s apparent with the way you guys are talking about me.
Akari Kiyoko: It’s because we think you’re a clown Luis. You’re a disgrace to everything this business is about, and you make me embarrassed to be an Elitist. You’re no better than other entitled wrestlers that walk around here, thinking they’re above everyone, thinking they’re above those who are looking to break just as much as you. While we weren’t blessed from the riches of our family like you have been, we still work hard, we will still succeed on the highest level and there is nothing you can do to change that. You had no business making your presence felt in our match before there could be an actual winner between me and Lucius.
Lucius Crowe: A match that for sure I was gonna win before the little rat right there got involved.
( Akari turns his head as he looks towards Lucius with a confused as he tells him… )
Akari Kiyoko: A match you were gonna win?
Lucius Crowe: A match I was going to win, there’s times in that match where I almost got it done but you barely scraped up, Akari, and because of this idiot, I could never get that decisive answer.
Akari Kiyoko: Damn your ego is just as big as Luis over here. We don’t know how that match was gonna go Lucius. Like I was saying, it could have gone either way. You seem extremely confident about your chances to win, but hey, it ended in a stalemate. We will never know who would have won in those final moments. I could have won that match but it’s up in the air now.
Lucius Crowe: You know what? I don’t got time to argue about this bullshit. So for right now, I’ll just say see you two again real soon and remember Luis… Judgment will ALWAYS find you from the Bounty Hunter.
( Lucius walks from the interview set as Molly scooches over as Luis is seens just rolling his eyes. Luis doesn’t seem too bothered by Lucius’ threat as he turns to Akari and asks him… )
Luis De La Rosa: So Akari… got something to ask you…. You think Persephone is hot or what?
( Akari then rolls his eyes for Luis’ question as he punches him straight in his face! Luis drops to the ground as Akari also leaves the interview set. Molly who is still there tries to lean in with the microphone towards Luis who’s on the ground who’s holding to his chin. He looks at the microphone and slaps it away from Molly. Segment ends with Luis feeling that punch from Akari as Sunday Night Voltage cuts to a commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for Super Voltage.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, and ‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie is heard playing as the Universal Women’s Champion Minerva is seen seated at the commentary table. After this, Bella Braxton begins to speak into her microphone.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, please welcome the Universal Women’s Champion… MINERVA!!!
James Peters: Minerva, thank you for joining us tonight. I understand that you’ll be taking on ARIA at Shock Value, so this is a great opportunity to see what she’s capable of.
Minerva: That’s right. I already have seen ARIA’s work, but she’ll need a different mentality heading into a match against me. Now’s her chance to show me what she really has to offer.
Persephone: I can already tell you it’s not much.
(‘21st CENTURY BITCH’ by Holy Wars hits, and there is a mixed response coming from the fans as Mia Santoro begins making her way out to the ring. Mia has a confident look on her face, ready for this upcoming match and clearly not worried about facing an opponent like ARIA. She begins walking down the ramp and towards the ring, looking towards the Universal Women’s Champion.)
Bella Braxton: Making her way to the ring… From Key West, Florida… Weighing in at 115 pounds… MMMIIIAAAAA SAAANNNNTTOOORRROOOO!!!!!
James Peters: Mia Santoro has spent her season growing and improving as a competitor. I know she’s not the Elitist you’ll be facing Minerva, but what are your thoughts on Mia heading into this match?
Minerva: I’m sure she’s not the favorite to win here, but I also would like to think she knows what a win over ARIA would do for her here. If she wants to climb up the ranks, she’ll give ARIA a fight tonight.
Rich Russillo: Well said. Mia wants to reach those heights and defeating a World Championship challenger is certainly a great way of doing so.
Persephone: Well when the challenger is ARIA it can’t be that hard to do. Then again we’re talking about Mia Santoro, so I’m sure she’ll screw it up.
(‘Freewill’ by Roisee follows this, and all of the fans in attendance begin to cheer. ARIA begins walking out to the stage, and ARIA looks focused. As she begins walking down the ramp she gives a look towards Minerva, both remembering what she did last week and understanding that she can’t lose right in front of her. ARIA makes it to ringside, shifting her focus towards Mia Santoro as she makes her way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… From Chandler, Arizona… Weighing in at 110 pounds…. AAAAAAARRRRRRIIIIIAAAA!!!!!!
James Peters: Here comes the number one contender to the Universal Women’s Championship, and you can see that ARIA means business tonight.
Minerva: Good. She can’t take this match too lightly. If she makes a mistake and loses right before Shock Value, that’ll be a bad look for her.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, and we saw her look right in our direction a moment ago. I think it’s fair to assume that you’re directly on her mind heading into this match.
Persephone: Too bad this won’t make her wrestle any better.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And this match is underway! ARIA and Mia Santoro quickly lock up inside of the ring, and ARIA is able to take control with a side headlock! Mia quickly is able to counter that though, as she slips out of it and pulls ARIA into a hammerlock hold! ARIA uses her free arm to pull Mia to the mat with a snapmare though, and she locks in a rear chin lock! These two are going back and forth in the early stages of the match- and that doesn’t stop as Mia turns and sweeps ARIA’s leg before going for a quick pin!
ONE-
Rich Russillo: Immediate kick out by ARIA, but Mia is quick to capitalize as she gets back on top of ARIA before beginning to punch away at her! Mia continues throwing some more shots at her opponent- until ARIA is able to push her off! Both women get back up- AND ARIA CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK! MIA STUMBLES BACK TO HER FEET AS ARIA IRISH WHIPS HER TO THE ROPES, AND AS SOON AS MIA BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES SHE RECEIVES A SECOND DROPKICK! MIA STUMBLES BACK TO HER FEET ONCE AGAIN, BUT ARIA DELIVERS A RUNNING HURRICANRANA, FORCING MIA TO ROLL UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!
Persephone: Remind me again why a Showdown talent is wrestling on Voltage. ARIA is not good enough for me to have to sit through this right now.
Minerva: It’s because she’ll be facing me just one week from now, and I’d like to see more of what she can do ahead of Shock Value. After all, it’s not often that you receive a World Championship match. At times like this, you need to make sure you’re at your best, and sometimes much more.
James Peters: Mia Santoro begins getting back to her feet, but while she does this ARIA runs the ropes! ARIA WITH A SUICIDE DI- NO! MIA SANTORO CAUGHT HER WITH A FOREARM, AND ARIA FALLS THROUGH THE ROPES AND ONTO THE APRON! ARIA is laid out on the apron after that! Mia now climbing on the apron as ARIA begins to sit up, AND MIA RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING A RUNNING METEORA ON THE APRON, CAUSING BOTH WOMEN TO TUMBLE OUT TO RINGSIDE! What a move by Mia Santoro to take control of this match in its early stages!
Rich Russillo: Mia pulls herself back up to her feet before sending ARIA back into the ring, and we also have to think about what a win like this would do for Mia Santoro. ARIA may be Minerva’s challenger right now, but if Mia can get a win over her right before her Universal Women’s Championship match, you have to imagine that Mia would be in a great spot. Speaking of which, Mia just entered the ring before pulling ARIA up, and it looks like she’s already looking to put ARIA away! MIA SETS UP FOR THE BLACKEST HOUR ON ARIA!
Minerva: She tried it, but ARIA was able to free her leg before using her own strength to hit Mia with a suplex instead! Mia rolls over to the corner of the ring, and I think ARIA’s found her way back into this now. That’s good, she’ll need this kind of energy if she wants to survive at Shock Value. Mia is using the turnbuckles to get back up, but ARIA doesn’t look like she’s gonna give her much of a chance to recover.
Persephone: It’s too bad this match isn’t happening at Showdown’s event. At least then I wouldn’t have been forced to watch it.
James Peters: ARIA now running in, AND SHE WENT FOR A BIG BOOT, BUT MIA DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE PULLING ARIA INTO A ROLL UP! ARIA IMMEDIATELY KICKED OUT, BUT ONCE ARIA ATTEMPTS GETTING UP, MIA LOOKS FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK- WHICH DOESN’T CONNECT! ARIA DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING MIA, AND NOW ARIA LIFTS MIA UP FOR A- NO! ARIA MAY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A SUPLEX OR A BRAINBUSTER, BUT MIA WAS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF ARIA’S GRASP BEFORE SHOVING HER INTO THE CORNER AND RUNNING IN FOR A KNEE TO THE BACK!
Rich Russillo: ARIA stumbles out of the corner, AND NOW MIA CONNECTS WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI! ARIA drops to a knee, and now Mia pulls her in for an exploder suplex- BUT ARIA BEGINS TO DELIVER ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF MIA’S HEAD, FORCING MIA OFF OF HER! That was starting to look pretty bad for ARIA, but she was able to get out of that, BEFORE GRABBING MIA AND LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX- WHICH MIA IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF, LANDING ON HER FEET! Mia landed on her feet, AND NOW SHE JUMPS ONTO ARIA WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Minerva: The double foot stomp missed and ARIA swept Mia’s legs, and now she runs the ropes before dropkicking Mia as soon as she sat up. Nice moves from ARIA so far, but I’ll need to see more from here before I can give much of an opinion on how she’ll do at Shock Value. As of now, I still don’t think she stands a good chance against me.
Persephone: Well, obviously. You’re pretty mid but even mid is better than pure garbage.
Minerva: What was that?
Persephone: Huh? I didn’t say anything.
James Peters: Mia Santoro pulls herself up in the corner of the ring, AND NOW ARIA RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! ARIA takes Mia to the mat with a snapmare, AND ARIA LOOKS FOR A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, BUT MIA GETS OUT OF THE WAY! ARIA quickly rushed to her feet- BUT BEFORE SHE COULD GET ALL THE WAY BACK UP, MIA CAUGHT HER AND PLANTED HER WITH A SNAP DDT! Great move by Mia Santoro, and this has been a pretty back and forth contest so far. Mia is throwing everything she has at this, but so is ARIA, who has to think about the fact that Minerva is right here watching!
Rich Russillo: ARIA uses the ropes to begin pulling herself back to her feet. Mia Santoro obviously not having that as she approaches ARIA- but ARIA is able to catch her with an elbow! ARIA now grabbing Mia, AND SHE RUNS OFF THE TURNBUCKLES BEFORE GOING FOR A TORNADO- NO! IT LOOKED LIKE ARIA WAS LOOKING FOR A TORNADO DDT BUT MIA MANAGED TO PUSH ARIA OFF OF HER! MIA NOW LOOKING FOR A LARIAT- BUT ARIA DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK!
James Peters: Mia was clearly rocked by that, AND NOW ARIA GRABS MIA BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Great moves by ARIA as Mia reaches towards the ropes to help herself back up- but ARIA picks Mia up before placing her onto the top turnbuckle! These two have been moving at a nonstop fast pace, but with what ARIA seems to be planning, both women might end up with some serious damage! It says a lot that ARIA seems to be doing something like this right before a World title match, as she’s making her way up top with Mia on the top rope!
Minerva: She’s clearly giving this match her all. I can respect that, even if something like this is risky.
Persephone: Well I can’t respect it. It’s dumb as hell and unless someone falls on their neck and kills themselves I don’t see what’s so entertaining about it either. ARIA’s obviously setting up for a superplex or something, and moves like that which hurt you just as much as the opponent are probably the dumbest things to ever come out of wrestling. I’m so glad we have real wrestlers like my Luis around here.
James Peters: ARIA is indeed setting up for a superplex, but she doesn’t get what she wants as Mia is able to begin fighting! Mia delivered a few punches to the ribs, BUT ARIA BEGINS FIGHTING BACK AS SHE THROWS FOREARMS AT MIA! Both women now beginning to go back and forth here, and they have to be careful as they’re in a tough spot right now! ARIA connects with an uppercut, and that nearly caused Mia to fall backwards off the top rope! ARIA grabs onto her though, BUT ONLY SO THAT SHE CAN LIFT HER UP, LOOKING FOR THE SUPERPLEX!
Rich Russillo: BUT WAIT A SECOND, LOOK AT MIA SANTORO! ARIA HAD HER UP IN THE AIR, BUT MIA WAS ABLE TO SLIP DOWN ARIA’S BACK AND LAND ON HER FEET IN THE RING! MIA NOW PULLING ARIA’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER AS ARIA GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP ROPE! ARIA stumbles out of the corner- RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK TO THE LEG, FOLLOWED BY THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK! TWO FOR THE ROAD CONNECTS ON ARIA, AND NOW MIA SANTORO GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
TH-
James Peters: KICKOUT BY ARIA!!!
Minerva: That was close. Possibly too close. ARIA may need to be more careful next week. Given what happened last week, she clearly still has a lot to learn.
Persephone: You got that right, she stinks! Just like you-
Rich Russillo: ANYWAY! Mia is right back up to her feet, taking a moment to recover and gain her bearings before grabbing ARIA and bringing her back up as well. Mia pushes her against the ropes before sending her to the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST- But before that connects, it’s ARIA that manages to grab the ropes just in time to keep herself in place! Mia is right back up to her feet as she tries to recover by rushing toward her- Just for ARIA to connect with a back elbow to the face to keep her at bay!
James Peters: ARIA isn’t done though as she turns around and keeps a hold of the ropes… LAUNCHING OFF OF THEM AS SHE TAKES MIA DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT- NO! MIA MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! ARIA lands on her knees, barely able to keep herself up, AS MIA STEPS FORWARD AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK TO HER FACE TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND- NO! SCOUTED! ARIA MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE LEGS JUST IN TIME BEFORE TAKING MIA DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DRAGON SCREW!
Rich Russillo: ARIA keeps a hold of the legs now, and it seems like she’s going to attempt a Figure Four submission hold- But it’s Mia who manages to use her free leg to boot ARIA away just in time! ARIA staggers back and falls against the ropes, MIA RUSHING UP TO HER FEET AND TRYING TO CONNECT WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO SEND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE- BUT ARIA GOES UNDER AND SENDS HER OVER INSTEAD! Mia manages to land on the apron as ARIA turns around, JUST TO BE MET WITH A FOREARM STRIKE TO THE FACE! ARIA staggers back as Mia makes her way over and begins to scale up to the top rope, looking to connect with an aerial assault…
Minerva: Bad idea…
James Peters: WAIT! BUT BEFORE SHE CAN! IT’S ARIA THAT RUSHES FORWARD AND GRABS HER BY THE HEAD… ‘ZIRCON CUTTER’! MIA IS TAKEN DOWN FACEFIRST AFTER BEING HUNG OVER THE TOP ROPE! AND ARIA ROLLS HER ONTO HER BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! TRYING TO GO FOR THE PIN RIGHT HERE! COULD THIS BE IT FOR THIS MATCH?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRREEE-
Persephone: I CERTAINLY WISH, BUT THIS BITCH JUST KICKED OUT AND IT’S REALLY PISSING ME OFF!
Minerva: Credit where credit is due, she’s giving her a fight. I could only imagine though what would happen if ARIA let this slip away from her… it would certainly be a disappointment, especially for me.
Rich Russillo: Well I don’t think ARIA plans on letting that happen, but by the looks of things it seems like it’s going to take a lot more than she bargained for with an opponent like Mia Santoro. Mia is immediately rolling away, grabbing a hold of the turnbuckles and heading to safety while on the otherhand ARIA is rising back up to her feet. She has her eyes set on her as she rushes forward… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM STRIKE! Mia is stunned as ARIA then grabs her by the head and sends her away from the corner, Mia stumbling forward before turning around… JUST FOR ARIA TO RUSH FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE THAT SENDS MIA DOWN TO A KNEE!
James Peters: ARIA isn’t done either as she turns around and runs to the ropes and back… GRABBING A HOLD OF MIA AND PLANTING HER DOWN FROM THERE WITH A RUNNING STO! ARIA knows that she needs to keep the pace going in this match which is what she’s been doing. Mia rolls onto her back and that gives ARIA the perfect opportunity to follow that one up… AS SHE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR A MOONSAULT TO CONNECT BELOW HER TO MIA!
Rich Russillo: NOT! THIS TIME MIA MANAGES TO SAVE HERSELF AND ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF IT! She gets back up to her feet as ARIA does the same as well… BUT ARIA BREAKS AWAY AS SHE RUNS TOI THE ROPES AND BACK! SHE’S GOING FOR ‘ZIRCON INJECTION’! THE HANDSPRING CUTTER TO MIA SANTORO-
James Peters: NO! BUT MIA SEES IT COMING! She manages to shove her away as ARIA stumbles forward! ARIA turns around, JUST FOR MIA TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A CUTTER OF HER OWN! ARIA lands face first but manages to roll herself back up to her feet, somehow finding it within her to recover… ONLY FOR MIA TO FOLLOW THAT UP BY RUSHING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR, CONNECTING WITH A METEORA TO THE FACE OF ARIA TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT COMPLETELY!
Minerva: Another flaw being shown, she got too greedy. She went to the well one too many times and it cost her. In the EAW, we know how fatal something like that could be, and I assure you if it was a bigger situation then this match would already be over by now.
Persephone: I wish this match was over…
Rich Russillo: ARIA is trying to desperately roll away from the situation, knowing how bad things are getting and how she wants absolutely nothing to do with it either. She is slowly rising up, but before you know it, it’s Mia who’s doing the same thing! ARIA stumbles forward… JUST FOR MIA TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE KNEE! WE KNOW WHAT SHE’S GOING FOR HERE! ANOTHER ‘TWO FOR THE ROAD’!
James Peters: NOT! ARIA WASN’T GOING TO FALL FOR THAT AGAIN! She manages to duck under that just in time BEFORE SHE GRABS THE OPPOSITE LEG OF MIA AND TRIPS HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! MIA TRIES TO ROLL AWAY, BUT IT’S ARIA THAT MANAGES TO LOCK IN A CROSSFACE! THE CROSSFACE SUBMISSION HOLD IS LOCKED IN AND MIA IS CRYING IN PAIN! DOING EVERYTHING THAT SHE CAN RIGHT NOW IN ORDER TO FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS!
Rich Russillo: Mia has gotten too far to let this get the better of her! She’s scratching and clawing, doing everything that she can in order to escape from this and keep this match going! She knows how much a win of this caliber would mean to her and she’s not just going to let it end here! But ARIA has the hold locked in tight! There’s only so much that she can do right now! Will Mia find a way out of this?!
Persephone: TAP! TAP! TAP! PLEASE! I BEG YOU! SAVE US!
James Peters: NO! MIA FIGHTS OUT OF IT! SHE SHIFTS HER BODY AND ROLLS ARIA TO HER SIDE, PINNING HER SHOULDERS TO THE MAT FOR THREE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREE-
Rich Russillo: BUT ARIA IS QUICK ENOUGH TO ESCAPE OUT OF IT! The two of them are quick to get back up to her feet, AS ARIA SWINGS AROUND AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK- BUT MIA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! SHE STEPS BACK BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE JAW! ARIA falls backward against the ropes… BEFORE SHE SPINS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A DISCUS FOREARM TO THE FACE! Mia stumbles back as the two of them are trading blows back and forth now! Trying to fight for supremacy in what has been a close match so far! Both of them just don’t know when to quit.
Minerva: I wouldn’t have it any other way.
James Peters: MIA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A KNEE STRIKE! ARIA is doubled over as Mia then proceeds to turn around and run to the ropes, GOING FOR A RUNNING LARIAT- BUT ARIA DUCKS UNDER THAT! Mia keeps the momentum though as she runs to the opposite pair and back… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A HUGE BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE! ARIA STUMBLES BACK AND FALLS AGAINST THE ROPES BUT RUSHES FORWARD-
Rich Russillo: BUT MIA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘KILLING MOON’! THE ROLLING WHEEL KICK CONNECTS ACROSS THE FACE OF ARIA TO TAKE HER DOWN!
James Peters: BUT MIA ISN’T DONE AS SHE MAKES HER WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND POSITIONS HERSELF, EYEING ARIA WHO HASN’T MOVED AT ALL!
Rich Russillo: ‘CHASE THE FEELING’!
James Peters: BUT ARIA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THE DIVING LEG DROP! MIA IS BACK UP-
Rich Russillo: ‘GOD SHATTERING STAR’!
James Peters: RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD OF MIA CONNECTS AS ARIA HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN! WILL THIS BE THE END OF THE MATCH RIGHT HERE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Freewill’ begins to play up as ARIA slowly begins to rise back up to her feet. A tired expression on her face, the referee makes their way over and raises her arm high in the air signaling her victory.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… ARIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Minerva: Not bad…
Persephone: THANK GOD IT’S OVER!
Rich Russillo: Mia Santoro put up one hell of a fight against the number one contender for the Universal Women’s Championship, realizing how much a win like this would mean for her. But in the end, it was ARIA that managed to come out on top in a hardly fought matchup.
James Peters: And it looks like this win has certainly earned Minerva’s respect, as she heads away from the commentary desk and toward the ring.
(Minerva climbs onto the ring apron and applauds ARIA for her victory, as ARIA turns around and does not at all look happy to see her right now.)
Rich Russillo: WHOA! WHAT THE?! ARIA JUST RUSHED FORWARD AND NAILED MINERVA WITH A FOREARM! MINERVA IS KNOCKED DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA AS ARIA LAUNCHES THROUGH THE ROPES AND TAKES DOWN MINERVA!
James Peters: WE KNOW LAST WEEK THAT MINERVA PUT ARIA THROUGH THE CONTRACT SIGNING TABLE AND NOW ARIA IS LOOKING TO GIVE A TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE! MINERVA SHOVES ARIA AWAY, TRYING TO REGAIN SOME SORT OF GROUND!
Rich Russillo: BUT ARIA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH THE ‘ZIRCON CUTTER’ TO THE OUTSIDE!
(ARIA grabs Minerva by the head and begins to drag her away somewhere. She reaches the Cook Islands announce booth and begins to dismantle it as she keeps a hold of Minerva.)
Persephone: NO! NOT COOK ISLANDS! I LOVE THAT PLACE!
James Peters: ARIA LIFTS MINERVA UP-
(CRASH!)
Rich Russillo: BEFORE SLAMMING MINERVA THROUGH THE COOK ISLANDS ANNOUNCERS TABLE! PAYBACK FROM THE CHALLENGER TONIGHT!
(‘Freewill’ begins to play up as ARIA stands over Minerva with a smirk on her face. She raises her hands in the air as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage begins to fade out to elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Shock Value, where Minerva defends the Universal Women’s Championship against ARIA in an Electrified TLC match.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades back into a separate location completely away from the Arena Olympic Hall, where Sofia Clarke is seen standing by with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand. As the camera begins to settle in she, from there, begins to speak.)
Sofia Clarke: Welcome back, and what a Sunday Night Voltage it has been so far! With Shock Value just a week away, it’s easy to engross yourself in the Marquee Event and all of the festivities surrounding it. But right now I want to take the time to talk about another event coming right after this, one that was just announced last week, and that is Super Voltage! A staple for this brand for the past few years, with titles on the line and big matches, it’s easy to get excited about it! This is why I’m here tonight to talk about everything that has gone down and everything that will be going down soon!
Sofia Clarke: Super Voltage was announced last week by Voltage Commissioner Captain Charisma, and with that, he confirmed some of the matches that will be taking place alongside it. One of them is Roberto De La Rosa, the Hardcore Champion, putting the title on the line as the leader of La Familia faces a threat that is far too familiar for him, and that is a vindictive Michael S. Connor who is looking to prove a point and do it in a big way by taking the Champion’s title at the event! Along with that, there is a number one contendership match for the Specialists Championship, with Jamie Cross and Mia Santoro facing off and competing against the winner of Bea Valentine and Valerie Hellstorm at Shock Value to fight for the title in a St. Patrick’s Day Pub FIght next month!
Sofia Clarke: But we’re not just here for a recap either, because there have been two more matches made official by Captain Charisma that I will announce this week! One of them is a match that came about due to events from last week and earlier tonight, which is a triple-threat match between Luis De La Rosa, Lucius Crowe, and Akari Kiyoko. As you know the match between Lucius and Akari on the last Voltage was thrown away thanks to Luis and his interference, and that spiraled into a three-way conflict which will come to a head at Super Voltage! Speaking of coming to a head, so will another feud as Brianna Hill and Hayley Morrow will be facing one another at Super Voltage as well! Both of them have been entangled with one another since their debut, and it has only escalated from that point especially these past couple of weeks, and both of them are looking to put this all behind them once and for all in a highly anticipated match!
Sofia Clarke: If there’s one thing I can say is that Super Voltage is going to be one to remember! You’re definitely not going to miss it! Coming up next you’re going to get a preview of that, so without further adieu…
(Sofia smiles as the camera pans away from there, Sunday Night Voltage going from there to a scenario following up the previous announcements. There’s a split screen with two different settings and two different people, each of them getting settled in their seats. The first one seen is Brianna Hill as she has an annoyed expression on her face, clearly not happy that she has to participate in this right now.)
Brianna Hill: This is pointless, does someone like Hayley Morrow even deserve something like this anyway? This is a waste of my time considering everything I could be doing right now…
(Brianna is mumbling to herself as the other person is shown to be Hayley Morrow. She has a serious expression on her face as she eyes Brianna from a screen, and it’s safe to say that she has reached her breaking point when it comes to her.)
Hayley Morrow: You’re the one not worth my time, Brianna, let’s not try and push that narrative. You’ve been a thorn in my side since my debut, and I’ve been waiting quite a while to get rid of you. From the disdain I felt when you came in all bright-eyed and optimistic, to now with this pathetic display as a member of La Familia. You have no dignity for yourself, and you should feel ashamed. Everything has come to a head and I’m glad that I’m going to be the one that ends this, I hope you understand that loud and clear.
Brianna Hill: :comeagain: Are you stupid? Have I no dignity? I should feel ashamed? The person who should be feeling ashamed is you, considering the only thing that you’ve done is prove me right. You are nothing to me, you mean nothing, and the only person that should be embarrassed is you. You’re wasting my time, you’re wasting everyone else’s time, why don’t you just quit, Hayley? Have you ever thought of that?
Hayley Morrow: I should say the same for you. This brand, this company, needs fewer people like you and your group. You think you’re so high and mighty just because one of you has a Championship and the rest of you are barely passing by with throwaway opportunities. But you’re going to find out soon enough that it can only get you so far. And when it all comes crashing down for you, I’ll be front row.
Brianna Hill: You have got to be some form of stupid, I’m convinced at this point having to put up with all of the garble that you have been spewing. Do you want my opinion on this whole thing? On this whole mess between the two of us? I think that you’re just going to get taken out, completely, just like everyone else that has stood in our way. The only purpose you serve is to be an unfortunate casualty to someone else’s conflict, and at the end of the day, that is really the only thing you have been your entire career. You were unlucky enough to ever be in La Familia’s way, and now that you’re trying to push it… look at the position that you’re in right now. Look at what you’ve been placed in, an inevitable loss. Hayley, you were never once a threat to me, even in my infancy, and when you lose to me at Super Voltage, honey, that’ll just be something that I’ll prove once again just as I have time after time again.
Hayley Morrow: You say that you have proved me wrong, but what have you proved? If anything, you’re in the same position as me so I don’t know why you’re talking. You have always been incompetent, Brianna, you always breed stupidity. I have been waiting patiently for the moment that I can finally put you down and I promise that I will be making good on that along with all of my promises. I have had people try and bring me down my entire life, but each time I am still here in spite of that and I have proved THAT wrong. So if you think that you’re really saying anything new, then you’re just kidding yourself. Then you’re just in over your head right now. You are going to find out exactly what happens when you get on my bad side and you’re going to find out soon. We’ve been feuding for a while and before I can really move on, I plan to make sure that things are the other way around, that YOU never make the mistake of coming after me again, or else what happens at Super Voltage will be tame compared to what I do to you next if you ever try your luck again.
Brianna Hill: Oh, I’m so scared, Hayley, I really am! Look, you are not fooling anyone at all, and the last thing that I’m going to do is listen to threats from someone who hasn’t lived up to them your entire career. You’re underwhelming, you’re lackluster, and I think of this more of a waste of my time like I’m doing some form of charity work for this company by giving you a match against me. It really isn’t worth it at all.
Hayley Morrow: I could say the same for myself, Brianna. You have no room to be talking right now and the last thing that I’m going to do is put up with your shit like it means anything to me. You haven’t made a scratch on me.
Brianna Hill: Yeah, and you don’t even have the headspace in my mind. But for you? I’m sure you’re just thinking about me all the time, buddy. I’m sure it just eats you alive knowing that I’m better than you in every sense of the word and there is absolutely nothing that you can do about it even at your best.
Hayley Morrow: You’re going to find out at Super Voltage, Brianna. I promise you that. You already have a face only a mother can love but if you continue to push me I promise that I’ll do a lot worse to you.
Brianna Hill: You make me sick, Hayley. The last thing that I’d want to do is look anywhere close to you and that nose of steel that you have. I swear to God, Super Voltage is going to be your deathbed, I’m going to KILL you.
(Brianna slams her hands on her lap before standing up, ripping her microphone off, and shoving it to the side before storming off. Hayley, looking as pissed off as ever, mumbles to herself.)
Hayley Morrow: Not if I do it first…
(Hayley stands up herself and takes her leave as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage from there begins to completely fade out.)
( Sunday Night Voltage returns once more, with Bella Braxton looking excited as she prepares to announce the upcoming match. )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘PA’ ROMPERLA’ by Bad Bunny & Don Omar starts playing as Luis De La Rosa confidently walks out, sporting a smirk and a grin on his face that seems to say he knows something others don’t. He nods then turns toward the ring with determination, making his way there directly. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… REPRESENTING LA FAMILLIA!… FROM HIDALGO, MEXICO!… WEIGHING IN AT 170 POUNDS!… THIS IS!… LUISSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!… DE!… LA!… ROSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: You know, when the best wrestler in the world steps into the building, the whole building is electrified. I can feel so much right now, even inside of me, this place is just electrifying. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, feeling so GREAT!
Rich Russillo: You’re getting a little too excited.
Persephone: So what? Are you feeling jealous because you haven’t experienced love even once in your life, and you’ve remained the same hoeless pariah throughout, with even your family considering rejecting you?
Rich Russillo: Hey now hold on, what’s that for?
James Peters: This is a HUGE moment for Luis De La Rosa tonight as he’s facing off against Jamie O’Hara. It’s going to be very interesting to see what’s going to be brought to the table in this matchup between the up-and-coming talent and the seasoned veteran. Can’t wait to see how this match unfolds any longer!
Persephone: I’m certain that there’s something more significant at play for Luis beyond just this spot.
James Peters: :ayo:
Rich Russillo: :ayo:
Persephone: What? I’m talking about charisma. Are you guys fucking stupid?
( Luis, before getting into the ring, looks down at Persephone as he blows her a kiss and winks before stepping inside to exude even more of his aura. )
Persephone: Oh don’t worry baby, I’m going to rock you so HARD tonight! 😩😩😩😩😩😩
James Peters: Alright. Let’s keep her out of here.
( Luis is walking around, warming up, while ‘Kashmir (Paratus Intro)’ by Led Zeppelin starts playing throughout the arena as Jamie O’Hara slowly steps through the smoke, looking at Luis with a little smile on his face, and toward the crowd as well. He looks around at his lovely fans and the EAW universe before posing on the stage and then heading down straight to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: HIS OPPONENT!… CURRENTLY RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA!… WEIGHING IN AT 190 POUNDS!… EAW HALL OF FAMER!… THE ACE!… JAMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!…. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!…. HARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: HERE HE IS! THE ACE OF EAW!
Persephone: No, that’s Luis, you idiot, nobody takes this edgelord, spaced out dumbass seriously. Come on, it’s 2024.
Rich Russillo: I like Luis, but I wouldn’t disrespect Jamie like that. When you hear the name, you already know just how great Jamie has been in the ring and the same holds true for the name ‘The Ace’; it says it alone, just how much he has done for this company. Tonight, Luis is really going to face the most dangerous, fearsome opponent yet.
Persephone: Yeah whatever, nobody cares about you two hopping on the bandwagon. BELIEVE IN THE TRUE GOAT! BELIEVE IN THE REALLLLLLL ACE! BELIEVE IN LUIS DE LA FUCKING ROSA!
James Peters: Anyway.
( DING DING DING! )
Persephone: Are you ready for the greatest battle Jamie O’Hara is ever going to get? The strongest, most handsome, actually good father that Jamie wishes to be, the best he is ever going to get for the rest of his pathetic old ass, trash ass,. lame ass, bum ass fucked up shitty little life??????
Rich Russillo: Eh, that was a bit of a reach-
Persephone: SHUT YOUR BITCHASS UP!
James Peters: This is a significant opportunity for Luis De La Rosa tonight as he faces the one and only true ACE that Elite Answers Wrestling has ever offered: Jamie O’Hara. Jamie’s name speaks volumes about his accomplishments throughout his career. Now, he’s up against Luis De La Rosa, a rookie with experiences ahead of him, and a blood brother of De La Rosa. It’ll be interesting to see how this match goes!
( As soon as the bell rings, Luis De La Rosa shakes his head and leaves the ring, leaving Jamie trying to approach him, standing tall and getting a little annoyed when he sees Luis on the outside walking around and trying to avoid Jamie O’Hara. )
James Peters: Speaking of disrespect, Luis has immediately shown that he doesn’t feel Jamie O’Hara is worth his time just yet. Now, he’s on the outside, taunting the Ace! That’s one hell of a way to earn yourself a ticket straight to hell!
Rich Russillo: Hey, look, now that I appreciate how people like him treat their heroes, I think he’s doing a great job right here, even though he has long outgrown his roots.
Persephone: Guys, listen up. He needs some prep time! Come on, cut the guy some slack! Jamie O’Hara is tough. Luis needs some time to plan first, and that’s how you know he’s a smart father of my child!
James Peters: Child?
Rich Russillo: Child?
Persephone: Oh you guys are a bunch of idiots! I’m talking about the future one! Duh!
( The crowd boos heavily while Luis remains composed, smirking a little before looking back at Jamie, who is standing tall and waiting for him inside the ring. Luis shakes his head, then slowly rolls back into the ring and approaches Jamie. )
James Peters: Luis finally re-enters the ring, and this time, both he and Jamie are eager to engage at the center in a collar and elbow tie-up, and they do just that!
Rich Russillo: Jamie appears to be much stronger in the battle that lies within, pushing Luis forcefully down to the ropes. Luis leans against the ropes as Jamie steps back just a little, possibly preparing to deliver a hard punch!
( Jamie is just about to land a hard punch on Luis when the referee intervenes. Luis flinches as the punch approaches, but Jamie stops right before it connects to his face, looking at him with a gentle smile on his face. He then pulls away from Luis, gently slapping his face. It’s okay, little buddy. It’s all just getting started. )
Persephone: LUIS! DON’T LET THAT SMUG-FACED SON OF A BITCH JOKE AROUND WITH YOU!
James Peters: Jamie backs away and looks to reset, BUT LUIS OUT OF NOWHERE SHOVED THE REFEREE AWAY AND NAILS JAMIE WITH A KNEE RIGHT TOWARDS HIS GUT, PUTTING THE ACE RIGHT BACK ONTO HIS KNEES AND WASTING NO TIME IN DELIVERING MORE UNFORGIVING STOMPS AND PUNCHES ON JAMIE!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN RIGHT AWAY, WITH LUIS TAKING A VERY HUGE ADVANTAGE RIGHT FROM THE START THROUGH… less than ethical means to say the very least.
Persephone: YEAHHHHHHHH! LET’S GO! FUCK HIM UP! FUCK HIM UP! FUCK HIM UP! FUCK HIM UP!
James Peters: Luis is now dragging Jamie off the ground and aiming to send him to the corner. Jamie can be seen lying there, still clutching the pain from the sudden attack Luis unleashed on him. Luis is now making a run and could be preparing to launch an attack on the Ace in the corner!
Rich Russillo: Luis tries to land the clothesline, but Jamie quickly dodges, moving out from the corner and letting Luis charge into the corner instead!
James Peters: LUIS IS STUNNED, JAMIE STEPS IN AND LANDS A QUICK CHOP ACROSS HIS CHEST!
Rich Russillo: Jamie now sends Luis rolling to the ground this time with a snapmare, then runs back away from the ropes as soon as he makes a rebound…
James Peters: WHAT A PENALTY KICK PUTTING LUIS BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: WHAT?! THIS IS BULLSHIT! HE’S CHEATING, REF! HE HIDES SOME CHEAP SHIT UNDER THAT KICKPAD!
Rich Russillo: That’s one hell of a penalty kick that forces Luis to roll down into the corner of the ring, bending in pain and half hiding himself from the harsh shots that he has been lashed by Jamie O’Hara.
James Peters: Luis slowly rises from the ground, Jamie now up to his feet this time and charging toward Luis inside the ring! Jamie looks to take flight here!… TOPÉ PLANCHA TOPPLES LUIS DE LA ROSA! WHAT A PERFECT DIVING MANEUVER FROM THE ACE!
Persephone: THAT LOOKS LIKE SHIT! LUIS, SHOW HIM HOW IT”S DONE! GET UP! COME ON! FUCKKKKKKKKKKK!
Rich Russillo: Luis has been picked up as soon as the Ace got back to his feet inside the ring. Jamie is back inside. Luis, still struggling to stand tall with wobbly legs, but Jamie wastes no time launching towards him in continuation!…
James Peters: A RUNNING BASEMENT DROPKICK TAKES LUIS DOWN TO BOTH KNEES. JAMIE ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET FOR THE SECOND TIME AND RUNS BACK TOWARDS LUIS…
Rich Russillo: ANOTHER LOW DROPKICK CONNECTS STRAIGHT TO HIS JAW THIS TIME, AND DOWN GOES LUIS! JAMIE ROLLS HIM OVER, GOING FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
Rich Russillo: A KICK OUT BY LUIS!
Persephone: NAH! WE WILL DEMAND THE RECOUNT IF MY BOYFRIEND LOSES TO A FUCKING BUM LIKE JAMIE!
James Peters: Undoubtedly up in the air. Jamie is the man with a million experiences, solidifying his name in the history books of EAW and earning the title ‘The Ace’ for a reason. As it’s stated, the name speaks volumes already that Jamie is the one not to be denied, and with what Luis has been doing so far, he’s playing with the wrong guy.
Rich Russillo: But let’s respect it though, Luis seems to be defying Jamie with his toughness. That’s something we would like to see from a rookie who’s looking to step up to the plate. Always make sure they stay at the forefront when it comes to their toughness.
Persephone: The only good thing you have said for all day. YEAH GUYS! GIVE LUIS SOME FUCKING RESPECT GODDAMN!
James Peters: Jamie rises to his feet from the ground again and now stands firmly against Luis, who is still clutching his jaw and trying to get up. Jamie then lands some hard kicks, keeping Luis down. The Ace is looking to slow his opponent down and fight against the agility itself.
Rich Russillo: Luis has been kicked and staggering back to the corner. Jamie makes a quick follow-up, now beginning to stomp him down to keep him against the corner! The referee springs down, trying to stop Jamie. Jamie slowly walks out, picking Luis off the ground again, this time shaking his head and taking a step back away from Luis… ANOTHER HARSH CHOP LASHING LUIS’S CHEST!
James Peters: Luis is now seen stumbling out of the corner to the opposite one, Jamie making a follow-up before landing another chop as well, leaving Luis coping with the punishment Jamie is giving right now!
Persephone: GET YOUR HAND OFF MY HUSBAND RIGHT NOW! YOU BETTER STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! THIS ISN’T THE SPANKING WE ASKING FOR!
James Peters: Luis is showing that he’s still enduring the punishment Jamie is dishing out. Jamie, looking to follow up with another punishing blow, sends Luis down to the opposite corner and makes a beeline towards him…
Rich Russillo: A RUNNING JUMPING HEEL KICK CONNECTS WITH LUIS IN THE CORNER!
James Peters: Jamie lands on his feet, drags Luis… EXECUTES A SINGLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER, PLANTING LUIS SQUARELY AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! NOW, THERE’S A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
Rich Russillo: A KICK OUT AGAIN BY LUIS! Luis has been putting the work in and showing that even in the worst state Jamie has been putting him through, this trench that he’s locked in surely won’t make him feel threatened by the pressure just yet. Luis will continue to prove that he is on the level where he can defy against the likes of Jamie O’Hara who’s being a superior, formidable threat to everybody!
Persephone: Rich shouldn’t be talking this much about my man. I think that’s supposed to be my job, let alone the bootlicking activity you’re engaging in right now. None of your business!
Rich Russillo: Hey come on man, I’m trying to be nice!
James Peters: Jamie now backing himself up to his feet again and he’s going to formulate a new game plan straight away to make further progress in the match towards victory. Jamie is now seen laying back down in the corner, aiming to charge and could be looking for the classic John Woo Dropkick that’s going to send Luis driving all the way down to the corner here!
Rich Russillo: LUIS HAS ONLY JUST GOTTEN BACK TO HIS FEET AND FOUND HIS OWN FOOTING AGAIN! JAMIE ALREADY MAKES A RUN OUT OF THE CORNER AND IS ALREADY AIMING TO NAIL THE KICK!
James Peters: A BEAUTIFUL DROPKICK CAUGHT JAMIE AT THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: THE ACE NOW FINDS HIMSELF LOST IN THE HOLE HE CRAWLED OUT OF THIS TIME!
James Peters: LUIS HAS BROUGHT THAT HIDDEN ADVANTAGE OUT AND IS NOW LOOKING FOR THE TRICK UP HIS SLEEVE TO PUT DOWN THE ACE IN ORDER, LEAPING TOWARDS HIM THIS TIME!… A RUNNING HURRICANRANA TAKES HIM OUT!
Persephone: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABYYYYYYYYYYYY! THAT’S WHAT WE TALKING ABOUT!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE HAS BEEN SENT ROLLING TO THE GROUND BY A SURPRISE HURRICANRANA FROM LUIS, AND NOW FINDS HIMSELF STUNNED BY THE CORNER, TRYING TO RECOLLECT HIMSELF AND GET BACK UP ON HIS FEET!
James Peters: LUIS FINDS JAMIE BY THE CORNER ONCE MORE, BACKING TO HIS FEET AND LOOKING TO MAKE PROGRESS TOWARD THE ACE HIMSELF! LUIS IS NOW MAKING A RUN!… CLOTHESLINE AT THE CORNER!
Persephone: WHAT A FUCKING CLOTHESLINE! HELL YEAH! LOOKING HOW THE MEAT SLAPPING HARD! LIKE HOW IT!-
Rich Russillo: WE DON’T NEED TO KNOW THE DETAILS! LUIS NOW DRAGS THE ACE OUT OF THE CORNER THIS TIME!…
James Peters: SHOWING SOME POWER AND AGILITY, SNATCHING THE ACE RIGHT IN FOR THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MOVES!… A VERTICAL SUPLEX AND DOWN GOES JAMIE! LUIS JUMPS INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
Rich Russillo: JAMIE KICKS OUT AT TWO! Luis may have been able to land some good shots just there, but it shows that it’s nothing close to putting down Jamie O’Hara at all just yet.
James Peters: Luis has to make a bigger step than what he has just done so far to make sure that Jamie will be put down once and for all for his own good. Luis may have to begin finding the mark that gets himself closer to the finish line; he’s going right down a path that wouldn’t have been better for him to pick up the biggest win of his career tonight.
Persephone: Oh, will you guys shut it? Why must there be any doubts if my pookie bear is going to walk out of the arena with a win over some half-witted pedestrian who thinks they’re still the hot shit like they used to? Come on, it’s the new era! It’s his time! It’s OUR TIME!
James Peters: We’ll see about that as right now, Luis is beginning to get back to his feet as soon as he’s finding himself walking with advantage over Jamie’s right now. Luis appears to double down on his ability to turn things around here if he has better control.
Rich Russillo: LOOK AT HIM! HE’S MAKING HIS WAY UP TO THE TOP! HE COULD BE LOOKING TO END THIS EARLY! JAMIE ONLY GETS BACK TO HIS KNEES, LUIS ALREADY UP THERE AND HE COULD BE LOOKING TO LAUNCH HIMSELF OFF FOR THE FINISH!….

….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
….
Rich Russillo: CLOSE BUT ONLY AT TWO!
James Peters: Luis has managed to stay in the match once more with another kick out, leaving Jamie some more time to figure out how to put him down for good.
Rich Russillo: Jamie still has a long way to go as well, facing the more stubborn Luis has become against him. However, that shows the side that Luis has proved his strength is undeniable!
Persephone: HAHA! TAKE THAT DOSE OF COPIUM, JAMIE!
James Peters: Jamie now begins slowly rising to his feet, using the ropes to pull himself back on track again. Luis is still finding his footing after the two shots of offense coming out of Jamie towards him. Jamie now having him aimed straight, looking to make a run out of the corner and put the final nail in his coffin.
Rich Russillo: JAMIE IS NOW RUNNING AGAIN, GOING FOR THE JOHN WOO DROPKICK!
James Peters: BUT LUIS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! JAMIE COLLIDES WITH THE CORNER AS HE TURNS AROUND-
Persephone: YES! MY SMART AND GLORIOUS KING! HE’S GOUGING THE EYES OF JAMIE!
Rich Russillo: THE REFEREE QUICKLY SPLITS THE TWO OF THEM UP AS JAMIE IS BLINDED MOMENTARILY! JAMIE TURNS AROUND…

James Peters: NOTHING BUT ONLY JUST GETTING VERY CLOSE TO THE VICTORY! JAMIE HAS BEEN KICKED OUT OF TWO!
Rich Russillo: LUIS NEARLY STOLE THAT VICTORY WITH THE EYE GOUGE, TRYING TO BEND THE RULE BOOK! BUT JAMIE IS ABLE TO SURVIVE OUTLASTING THE COUNT OF THREE!
Persephone: I DEMAND THE RECOUNT! I KNOW WHAT THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO DO TO OUR FAMILY! THEY ARE TRYING TO FUCK US OVER! THEY ARE COUNTING TOO SLOW! WE MUST DEMAND THE RECOUNT RIGHT NOW! CONSPIRACY! CONSPIRACY! CONSPIRACY!
James Peters: LUIS KNOWS THAT SUPERKICKS ARE SUFFICIENT TO PUT DOWN THE ACE AND LEAVE HIM REELING FOR A LONGER TIME HERE! LUIS IS NOW TAKING HIS TIME TO RUN UP TO THE TOP; HE’S MAKING HIS WAY UP THERE AND HIS WIFE MAY BE WINNING TONIGHT, AS WELL AS LUIS, WHO’S NOW STANDING UP TOP!
Persephone: YES YES! GO GOOFOGOGO WIHFIN IJOG O COME ON!

Persephone: DESTRIPADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Persephone: WHAT???? LUIS, DON’T LET HIM TRICK YOU!
Rich Russillo: LUIS FALLING ON HIS FEET AND ROLLING TO THE GROUND! NOW BACK TO HIS FEET, JAMIE NOW JUST SLOWLY COMING OFF THE GROUND!… LUIS MAKES A RUN TOWARDS JAMIE RIGHT AWAY!-
James Peters: A LEG LARIAT TAKES LUIS DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!
Rich Russillo: LUIS STUMBLES HARD, FALLING TO THE GROUND. HE MANAGES TO FIND HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET, DESPITE BEING DOWN!
James Peters: HIS FACE BEARING THE IMPACT OF THE LEG LARIAT! JAMIE, FINDING HIMSELF NEAR THE ROPES, BACKS AWAY BEFORE LUNGING TOWARDS LUIS… SLINGBLADE!
Rich Russillo: ONLY FOR LUIS TO FIND HIMSELF CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE, WITH JAMIE PUTTING HIM OVER HIS SHOULDER AND ATTEMPTING TO NAIL THE BACKDROP SUPLEX!
Persephone: WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: JAMIE MANAGES TO LAND AN ELBOW ON TOP OF LUIS’S HEAD! LUIS RELEASES HIM, JAMIE THEN MAKES A RUN TOWARDS THE ROPES, STRAIGHT AWAY, AND BEGINS HIS COMEBACK…
Persephone: NO LUIS!
Rich Russillo: A RUNNING SHIN KICK STOPS JAMIE’S MOMENTUM!
Persephone: YES LUIS!
James Peters: THE SHIN KICK PUTS JAMIE RIGHT BACK TO ONE KNEE. LUIS THEN SWIFTLY GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, GATHERING HIS STRENGTH AND TRYING TO CUT JAMIE OFF WITH ANOTHER KICK ACROSS HIS HEAD!
Persephone: YEAH! FUCK HIM UP! KICK HIM IN THE BALLS!
Rich Russillo: DUCKING UNDERNEATH AND JAMIE HOOKS HIM FROM BEHIND!…. HIGH ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX DROPS LUIS TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: NO NO NO NO NO NO! HOLD ON LUIS! I’M COMING TO SAVE YOU!
James Peters: LUIS HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE GROUND WITH THE HIGH ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX, NOW FINDING HIMSELF LYING ON THE GROUND IN PAIN AND JUST TRYING TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET!

(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Kashmir’ begins to play through the speakers as Jamie O’Hara rises back up to his feet. There’s a look on his face that just exudes an effortless manner as the referee makes his way over and raises his hand into the air in victory.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… JAMIE O’HARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: This might be 9/11.
James Peters: The EAW Hall of Famer certainly had a lot more than he anticipated with the plucky La Familia member, but in the end it was Jamie that managed to come out on top and by the looks of things I don’t think he’s very surprised about this outcome at all.
Rich Russillo: Luis tried what he might in order to come out on top, having to go dirty on multiple occasions in order to even come close. But Jamie has seen it all before, and that was able to push him the extra mile to victory when it was all said and done. Congratulations to Jamie!
(Jamie raises his hands on the top rope as a furious Luis De La Rosa is seen on the outside arguing with the referee. Jamie leaves the ring as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Commercial for Deadpool & Wolverine, in theaters this July.)
(‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney hits as Voltage returns to ringside, and before long Captain Charisma begins making his way out to the stage. The fans in attendance are cheering loudly seeing the Commissioner of Voltage, and Captain Charisma is seen holding a microphone in his hand as he makes his way down the ramp with a smile on his face.)
James Peters: We’re only a week away from Shock Value, and it looks like Captain Charisma still has one more announcement for us. These last few weeks have been huge for Voltage with both Shock Value and Super Voltage coming up, so I’m interested in seeing what he has to say.
Rich Russillo: Last week alone we heard a lot in regards to both events, but with Shock Value being next week I’m sure he’s here to give us some more information about the upcoming stipulations that’ll be used.
Persephone: Really? I was hoping he’d be adding Luis to the Charlie and TLA match, but whatever.
(Captain Charisma walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. Before long his entrance music begins to fade out, and once the fans begin to quiet down he begins to speak.)
Captain Charisma: Ladies and gentlemen, we’re approaching Shock Value very quickly and words aren’t enough to describe just how excited I am for this event. I have no doubt that the Voltage roster will put on an incredible show for you all. After all, this is the show where we’ll be seeing matches such as Jamie O’Hara versus Drake King, Minerva versus ARIA for the Universal Women’s Championship, Charlie Marr versus TLA for the EAW World Championship, and much more. However, I’m not here to discuss those matches right now. I’m here to discuss a match that was made last week, which I’m sure will blow all of your minds when the time comes. I am here to discuss the Electrified Clusterfuck match!
(This receives cheers from the fans, and Captain Charisma continues.)
Captain Charisma: This match will be nothing short of chaotic, and truthfully, even “chaotic” may be an understatement with what I’m about to say. The fact that five talented Elitists are fighting for an EAW Championship shot is already enough, but I called this the Electrified Clusterfuck for a reason and that reason is exactly what I’m going to reveal to you all right now. See, this is a match that has never been done before. This match is one of a kind, and that’s because it consists of EVERYTHING Shock Value could have to offer! Electric ropes, electric floors, electric ropes, electric weapons, an electric scaffold, and even explosives! The only way to win this match is by climbing an electric ladder to reach the top of the scaffold, which you’ll have to cross in order to grab the contract to fight for the EAW World Championship at Grand Rampage!
(Once again the fans cheer, but the cheers are much louder this time after hearing what the stipulation consists of. Captain Charisma has a grin on his face, clearly happy with the reception for his announcement.)
Captain Charisma: That’s not all. There’s a reason I called it an electric scaffold, after all. See, there will be a switch hidden somewhere at ringside throughout this match. If someone can flip this switch, it will activate the scaffold, violently shocking whoever is on it, which will likely result in them falling off the scaffold. That’s the Electrified Clusterfuck, and this is what the five participants will have to endure in order to fight either Charlie Marr or TLA for the EAW World Championship at Grand Rampage-
(‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen hits, cutting off Captain Charisma. The fans in attendance immediately begin to boo as Dr. Bethany Blue begins walking out, and she is also holding a microphone. As Bethany walks down the ramp, she begins to speak.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: This is all pretty excessive for a match we all know I’m winning, don’t you think? As far as I’m concerned we could just skip all this and get to what’s really important, which is my World Championship match. I’ve already spent enough of this season putting down everyone in front of me, including some of the people actually in this match, so there’s no reason I shouldn’t be the one fighting either Charlie or TLA at Grand Rampage.
(Bethany walks up the steel steps, entering the ring as she continues.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I listened to what everyone had to say when they came out, but all I heard were people who already had opportunities to become World Champion this season and blew it. I haven’t had my opportunity yet. I haven’t had the chance to fight for a World Championship since Pain for Pride, and I’m not going to miss out on the opportunity now. We all know that I am a better competitor than everyone else in the match. I am tougher than everyone in the match, and I’m fighting for a lot more than they are. I’m fighting for the opportunity to reach a spot I never should’ve lost. I’m fighting as someone that actually contributes to society in a meaningful way. I’m fighting so that Adam can watch and learn from me. Nobody else here is good enough to take me down, so let’s just get to what’s important and-
(‘Stronger (salü remix)’ by The Score hits, interrupting Dr. Bethany Blue this time. Rex McAllister begins walking out as the crowd cheers, and Rex doesn’t look too amused by Bethany’s words as he walks down the ramp with a microphone in his hand. As he reaches ringside, Rex climbs up the apron before entering the ring, and soon after he begins to speak.)
Rex McAllister: I understand you’re too arrogant to see this match as anything but a win for you, and for that I won’t try to change your mind. Instead, I just want you to know that I didn’t just spend this season losing EAW Championship opportunities. I spent this season giving it my best, and making sure I learned from every mistake I made throughout this season so I could walk into matches like this even better than I was in the past. You’re not going to have an easy time at Shock Value, and that was the case regardless of the stipulation. I plan to win that match and get back to the EAW World Championship picture, and in order for me to get there I need to be at my very best. I know that I’m there, Bethany. The only question now is whether or not you can beat me at my best, and right now that remains to be seen. There’s still a week left before Shock Value, so I just hope you know writing me off this early is a very bad idea.
Dr. Bethany Blue: I know how you are, Rex. I already had to work with you before, and my stance hasn’t changed. I’m going to win at Shock Value, so you’re going to have to wait a bit longer if you want a World title shot. You should be fine though. I waited this entire season, and I was dealing with the likes of Solomon Stane and Harper Lee while you were fumbling World title matches. You can wait a few months.
Rex McAllister: Maybe I can, but I don’t plan to. I see the opportunity that’s in front of me, and I’m going to do everything in my power to capitalize on it. You can’t stop that.
(The fans cheer and there is a brief staredown between Rex and Bethany. However, this is interrupted as ‘Bounce Back’ by Big Sean hits. As the fans cheer, Jack Ripley begins walking out to the stage. Jack is holding a microphone in his hand, and he begins to speak as he approaches the ring.)
Jack Ripley: I don’t know why either of you seem to think words will change anything. I’m walking into this match knowing that none of my opponents will believe I’m capable of winning. We’re opponents, that’s just how it works. You all think your drive to succeed surpasses mine. You all think you’re more talented than me. You all think you have everything… But when Shock Value comes around only one person will be grabbing that contract and earning an EAW World Championship match.
(Jack enters the ring, standing in the corner of the ring as Rex and Bethany stare at him.)
Jack Ripley: That’s going to be me, so you guys can argue as much as you want about who’s being too arrogant and who doesn’t have the resume to back their words up, but at Shock Value I’m aiming for a shot to get back to a spot I haven’t been in for way too long. I want to be World Champion again. I want to make something out of this season and stop the “highlights” of it being matches against a guy that isn’t even around anymore and a win against La Familia. I’m going to Shock Value for one thing and one thing only, and truth be told, I don’t care what either of you have to say about that.
Rex McAllister: Fair enough. I can’t force you to care either, as long as you understand what you’re up against.
Jack Ripley: It hasn’t been that long since we shared the ring, Rex. And Bethany, I really don’t plan to stand here for another rant about why you’re so much better than everyone else and why you need to win. If you want to prove anything you’ll need to take me down at Shock Value. Until then, I see no reason why I can’t beat you.
Dr. Bethany Blue: :francis:
Jack Ripley: One week from now I’m winning that clusterfuck, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure of that.
(‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn is the next song to hit, and before long, Cameron Ella Ava begins walking out. Cameron has a microphone in her hand, and the Hall of Famer walks down the ramp to join the others inside of the ring. Dr. Bethany Blue doesn’t look impressed seeing Cameron, but as Cameron enters the ring, she looks directly towards Bethany before beginning to speak.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I just hope you know that if you still think Shock Value will be anything like Bloodsport, you’re in for a terrible night.
(The fans cheer hearing this, and Cameron continues as she looks towards the rest of the Elitists inside of the ring.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I have respect for some of you. I’ve been in the right with you guys, I’ve worked with some of you, I know what you all bring to the table. With that being said, when a World Championship match is on the line, any respect I may have for you guys goes out the window. I don’t need to listen to the stories you all are bringing to this match. I understand why you want opportunities. I understand why you think you need this win. I understand why you think you deserve this, but I’m not putting your desires over my own, and right now I want the EAW Championship. I never had any problem being selfish in the past, and I definitely don’t have a problem with taking out whoever thinks they can stand between me and a World Championship opportunity. You said it yourself, Jack. Only one of us will win at Shock Value, and like you I plan to do whatever is necessary to win. All that’s left is to see which one of us actually has what it takes.
(The fans cheer, but Bethany quickly begins to speak up.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Yeah. Between all the people who had shots at the EAW World Championship and lost and the woman that hasn’t had a shot yet and has actually spent her season winning, I wonder who has what it takes!
Jack Ripley: Beating Solomon Stane isn’t exactly something to brag about. You’re really not as great as you think you are, but I guess we’ll have to wait until you lose and have another meltdown for you to get that.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Excuse me?
Rex McAllister: Look, we can keep going back and forth as much as we want, but-
Dr. Bethany Blue: No no no, I’m not going to take this kind of disrespect heading into Shock Value. If you want to ignore what I’m capable of, just wait. You’ll see it yourself when I take that opportunity for myself.
(There is a staredown between the four competitors in the ring now, before ‘I Rise’ by Cory Marks hits. This once again causes loud cheers to come from the fans, and Donovan Duke begins making his way out to the stage. Donovan has a microphone in his hand as he heads down the ramp, and he wastes no time beginning to speak to the competitors inside of the ring.)
Donovan Duke: Look guys, I hear everything you have to say and I think you’re all missing something very important. This match was called a clusterfuck for a reason. We already knew that anything could happen with so many Elitists in one match, but now the odds are being stacked against us with this stipulation. Even competing in a match like this knowing the dangers could be considered a gamble, but that’s my specialty.
(Donovan walks up the steel steps, entering the ring as he continues.)
Donovan Duke: I’ve spent my entire career facing Elitists who should be on another level compared to me. Right now I’m in a match where everyone has held a World Championship before. Everyone except me. I have the most to gain from this match without a doubt, but even with that aside, I know better than to look down on any of you. I know better than to let arrogance get in the way, and I know better than to waste another opportunity to fight for a World Championship. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter how challenging this may be, how many risks are involved, or how tough every single one of you really are. If I’m going to fight Charlie or TLA at Grand Rampage I’ll need to overcome every single one of you, and I plan to do exactly that.
(A smirk appears on the face of Cameron Ella Ava as she begins to speak.)
Cameron Ella Ava: The confidence is great and all, but the words won’t mean anything if you’re not capable of backing them up. You’ve competed in many matches like this sure, but how often have you actually won?
(The look on Donovan’s face doesn’t change despite the question. Instead, he calmly begins to respond.)
Donovan Duke: Cameron, you’re a Hall of Famer and a legend in wrestling. You should know even more than I do that past wins and losses don’t matter anywhere near as much as what you actually gained from them. If I allowed my losses to get me down and stop me from pushing myself, I never would’ve accomplished everything I have so far.
Jack Ripley: Cool, but you’re in a match against people who both want the same thing you do and actually possess the tools to not screw up an opportunity like this.
Dr. Bethany Blue: And you’re not one of those people, Jack. In fact, the only one that can actually say they ARE that kind of person is me.
Rex McAllister: I wouldn’t be so sure about that, but then again, the rest of us already know what kind of person you really are. There’s a reason you don’t always get the respect you’re looking for.
(Dr. Bethany Blue is clearly insulted by this, but Donovan begins to speak.)
Donovan Duke: At the end of the day I don’t expect to change anyone’s mind an entire week away from Shock Value, either. We have more than enough time to think about this match, but I’ll let this be known now. If you want to win this match, overlooking me is the worst thing you could do-
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND! DR. BETHANY BLUE JUST RAN AND ATTACKED REX MCALLISTER, SENDING REX INTO DONOVAN DUKE!!!! IT LOOKS LIKE BETHANY HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THE DISRESPECT, AND NOW WE HAVE A FIGHT BETWEEN OUR PARTICIPANTS!!!!
Rich Russillo: JACK RIPLEY IS SHOCKED BY THE TURN OF EVENTS- AND CAMERON ELLA AVA USES THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DROP HIM, HITTING HIM WITH HER MICROPHONE! CAMERON POSSIBLY LOOKING TO USE THIS TO SEND A MESSAGE OF HER OWN, AND NOW WE HAVE A FULL ON BRAWL BETWEEN THESE FIVE ELITISTS!
James Peters: BETHANY CONTINUES PUNCHING AWAY AT REX- BUT DONOVAN GETS UP BEFORE HITTING HER WITH A BOOT! Donovan backpedals a bit- AND CAMERON TURNS HIM AROUND BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH AN ELBOW! CAMERON AND DONOVAN NOW GOING AT IT- AND JACK RIPLEY RUNS IN, TAKING BOTH ELITISTS DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Rich Russillo: DR. BETHANY BLUE GETS BACK TO HER FEET, AND NOW REX MCALLISTER GOES AFTER HER AS THE TWO CONTINUE TO FIGHT! WE HAVE A HUGE BRAWL ON OUR HANDS RIGHT NOW, AND IT LOOKS LIKE CAPTAIN CHARISMA IS TAKING THIS TIME TO START CALLING FOR SECURITY!
Persephone: NOOOO! DON’T BREAK UP THE FIGHT BEFORE I CAN SEE BLOOD! THIS ISN’T FAIR!
James Peters: THIS IS ONLY A SMALL PREVIEW OF WHAT’S TO COME AT SHOCK VALUE, WHERE ONE OF THESE ELITISTS WILL EARN A SHOT AT THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AT GRAND RAMPAGE!
(The fight between the five Elitists continues as tons of security guards begin rushing down the ramp. The security guards run to ringside, beginning to pull anyone they can as they enter the ring to separate the remaining Elitists. One by one they begin to pull each Elitist away from each other, and from there Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)
(Commercial for the Sony PlayStation 5 with Harper Lee.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, and before long ‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage hits. It doesn’t take very long following this for Drake King to begin storming out, but as he makes his way out he is furious. He is holding a microphone in his hand, and he is heading directly to the ring, clearly still unhappy with the events of last week’s Voltage where the Shock Value match between Jamie O’Hara and himself was made official.)
James Peters: Drake King is on his way out, and I guess he still hasn’t gotten over what happened last week. He wanted the EAW World Championship given back to him, and… That’s not what happened.
Rich Russillo: Of course he’s not happy with what happened. After all, we’re missing a pretty big detail. At Shock Value Drake will be taking on Jamie O’Hara, a man he has tons of history with. Let’s not forget what happened last time these two went one on one.
Persephone: Methuselah came out of nowhere and speared Jamie?
Rich Russillo: Before that. Jamie was looking to put Drake away, and if Methuselah wasn’t there, he probably would have. These two have unfinished business, and it seems only one of these two men are interested in finishing it.
(Drake makes it to ringside, and as he walks up the steel steps he begins to speak.)
Drake King: No, no. Cut the music, we have a SERIOUS problem we need to handle right now! CUT THE MUSIC!
(Drake enters the ring as ‘When Darkness Falls’ begins to fade out, and from there he continues.)
Drake King: This is NOT how I’m supposed to be treated! I didn’t make any outrageous demands. I didn’t ask for anything unfair. All I asked was for what was stolen from me to be returned, and instead of that… THIS happens? First I’m thrown into that ridiculous match with six other people to try and “earn” a shot at MY OWN TITLE, and then I’m taken out of the match just for some match against Jamie O’Hara THAT IS DIDN’T ASK FOR! I DON’T WANT TO FACE JAMIE O’HARA! I WANT MY CHAMPIONSHIP BACK! This isn’t right and Captain Charisma knows this, but for some reason, instead of simply apologizing he chose to take his disrespect to new levels. Earlier tonight I received word that my match against Jamie, the match I didn’t even want, was being given a stipulation. I already found that bad enough since it confirmed to me that Captain Charisma chose not to listen to my requests, but when I found out what the stipulation actually was, I couldn’t believe it. For some reason, Voltage’s own Commissioner is forcing the man that saved this industry to face Jamie O’Hara in an Electrified Iron Man match.
(This causes the crowd to explode with cheers hearing the announcement of the match stipulation. However, Drake doesn’t look anywhere near as excited as the fans.)
Drake King: I understand that we all make mistakes, some more often than others, but something like this is just too far. Captain Charisma is being completely unreasonable here, and honestly I’m not even sure why he’d want to put me through something like this after all I’ve done for this brand. I’ve been the best thing going in all of EAW, and in return I’m thrown into the most unnecessary match possible rather than being given my title back!? Did everyone suddenly forget what happened at Road to Redemption? Charlie was not in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, so he is NOT the EAW Champion! I don’t care about that briefcase, and I definitely don’t care about that defense at King of Elite that only went how it did because Rex was in the match! I have no interest in facing Jamie O’Hara, but Captain Charisma I’m sure you’re listening, so there’s still time to make this right. Either give me my title back, or kick TLA out of that Shock Value match and give me a one on one against Charlie. I don’t care what happens with Jamie, just don’t-
(‘Kashmir (Paratus Intro)’ by Led Zeppelin hits, causing the crowd to explode with cheers. Drake King immediately turns to the stage after being interrupted, not happy to see Jamie O’Hara begin walking out to the stage with a grin on his face. Jamie is also holding a microphone in his hand, and he walks down to the ring as the cheers continue.)
James Peters: Jamie O’Hara is here, and he’s basically the reason this match is happening, which explains the grin on his face. He had enough of Drake’s whining and figured he could just get a title opportunity later, so he decided to be the one to silence Drake.
Rich Russillo: Can we just go back for a moment? Not only will these two face each other at Shock Value, but it will be happening in an ELECTRIFIED IRON MAN MATCH! That’s huge!
Persephone: Why? The electric part is good but what’s so great about an iron man match? They better kill each other if they expect me to sit through something like this.
(Jamie walks up the steel steps, and he enters the ring as ‘Kashmir’ begins to fade out. Drake is still unhappy about Jamie interrupting him, but he remains silent as Jamie begins to speak.)
Jamie O’Hara: What’s the matter, Drake? You forced everyone to put up with your antics for over three years as you repeatedly fail to convince anyone of your Godly status, yet the idea of having one match against Jamie O’Hara seems to have you on the verge of tears. That doesn’t seem so fitting for a “Messiah” to me.
(While the fans cheer hearing this, Drake is clearly bothered by Jamie’s comments and begins to speak up.)
Drake King: I don’t care about you, that’s not what this is about. I just want-
Jamie O’Hara: Right, the Championship that you lost to Charlie Marr, and failed to take back just a few weeks ago. You’re the reason for Charlie Marr’s first World Championship reign since 2019. You’re the reason Charlie was able to dig himself out of the hole he was in for the entire first half of the season and I find that both hilarious and pathetic Drake, because you weren’t just cashed in on. You had an opportunity to reclaim the title at King of Elite and you blew it. You straight up lost to a guy like Charlie Marr and that might just say more about you than it does about him. You were never who you thought you were, but now you’re not even in the same spot you used to validate yourself. You may have had the opportunity to keep running with this joke for an extra year since Methuselah cut our last match short, but I’m not going to keep listening to you make demands on a brand you’re not as close to the top of as you clearly think you are. Whether you like it or not Drake you’ll be facing the man actually at the top of Voltage in a week, and once I dispose of you, maybe when the time is right I’ll go ahead and take the EAW Championship myself.
Drake King: If you want a title shot you should’ve stayed in that disaster Captain Charisma created and left me alone. I don’t want to face you Jamie, and don’t get me wrong. It’s solely because you’re not my priority right now. I’m not sure what you saw at Road to Redemption or at King of Elite, but my eyes clearly work better than yours because what happened at those events were robberies. Charlie Marr stole the EAW Championship on two separate occasions and he’s being allowed to walk around with it on a weekly basis solely because Captain Charisma won’t do the right thing. You’re not a factor in this. You simply could’ve won your Shock Value match and faced me AFTER I got my title back, but instead you ruined everything just for a match you won’t even win! What was the point, Jamie? Why would you go to these lengths knowing that with or without Methuselah, you were never going to beat me a year ago? You’re wasting your time and more importantly you’re wasting mine, so can you just go away?
(After hearing this, Jamie just begins to laugh before beginning to speak.)
Jamie O’Hara: I don’t really care how badly you want to get out of this. You’ll not only be facing me at Shock Value, but you’ll be facing me in a match where you’ll be stuck with me until the timer reaches zero, and I can put you down as many times as I want. As far as I’m concerned you’re better off taking your focus off of the EAW World Championship and directing it to this match, because no matter how much you scream and cry about something like this, I am still your opponent. I’m still the man you’ll be facing in a week’s time, and clearly unlike you, I’m more than ready to take advantage of everything an Electrified Iron Man match has to offer. If you want to walk into Shock Value unprepared you can be my guest, but no matter how you walk into this match you’ll be stuck with me for the same amount of time. You’ll have no choice but to suffer, and by the time it’s over, you might just be too embarrassed to show your face on Voltage again.
(Drake remains silent. The fans continue to cheer, but Jamie drops the grin that was on his face as he walks up to Drake.)
Jamie O’Hara: What’s happened to you over the last few months was only the beginning, Drake. You may have gotten a few people to start cheering you, revising history and forgetting just what kind of man you really are, but the rest of us are actually living here in the real world. The world I’ve been on top of regardless of what title you were holding. If losing the EAW Championship was enough to make you throw all these tantrums, I’ll gladly be the reason you fail to recover for the rest of the season. We don’t need any of this anymore. We don’t need you pretending to be the only man capable of doing things I’ve already done years ago. We don’t need you calling yourself a God while expecting everything to be handed to you. We don’t need Drake King, not in a company that lasted as long as it has long before you ever even considered joining. You’re useless Drake, so instead of worrying about reclaiming your title, you should be worrying about whether or not you can even get a single fall against me next week.
(This receives loud cheers as Jamie stops speaking. There’s a staredown between the two men, before Jamie just shakes his head, turning to leave the ring.)
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND! DRAKE JUST TURNED JAMIE AROUND, AND NOW HE SWINGS AT HIM WITH HIS MICROPHONE!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE DUCKS UNDER IT THOUGH, AND NOW HE BEGINS PUNCHING AWAY AT DRAKE! A BRAWL SEEMS TO BE UNDERWAY HERE, AS DRAKE CLEARLY DIDN’T EXPECT JAMIE TO BE IN ANY POSITION TO FIGHT BACK! JAMIE SAW THE ATTACK COMING THOUGH, AND NOW WE HAVE A FIGHT ON OUR HANDS AS THESE TWO ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH!
James Peters: BOTH MEN SEEM TO BE THROWING STRIKES AT EACH OTHER, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE JAMIE IS GETTING THE BETTER OF DRAKE! JAMIE WITH ELBOW AFTER ELBOW AS DRAKE IS BACKED TOWARDS THE ROPES, AND NOW JAMIE IRISH WHIPS HIM TO THE OPPOSITE PAIR OF ROPES- BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A SLINGBLADE! DRAKE STUMBLES TO HIS FEET AS JAMIE RUSHES IN, AND THERE’S A JOHN WOO DROPKICK- NO!
Rich Russillo: Drake just rolled out of the ring, and it looks like he didn’t want any more of that fight! Either way, this is the match at Shock Value. Drake King versus Jamie O’Hara in an Electrified Iron Man match!
Persephone: Hopefully it’s a five minute Iron Man match. If this is what I can expect at Shock Value, I need them to wrap this up quickly.
(‘Kashmir’ begins to play once again as Drake King is seen on the ramp, slowly backpedaling as he stares at Jamie O’Hara, frustrated with how things played out. Jamie on the other hand remains in the ring, staring towards Drake. With this staredown, Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)

Bella Braxton: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Zombie’ by the Cranberries plays as heavily mixed reactions can be heard from the audience. Ruler & Alex Myers make their way out as there is a stoic, yet calculated gaze in both teammates as they look ahead to the ring. They glance at one another, as Alex gives Ruler a nod of reassurance before they walk down the ramp, although the animosity is slightly present among them. Alex heads down, while Ruler follows behind in a much more methodical walk down the ramp, not sparing the same giving nature as Alex.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! THE TEAM OF ALEX MYERS AND RULER, NICHOLISM!!!
Persephone: A dysfunctional team filled with dysfunctional people who live dysfunctional lives. No wonder they have issues.
James Peters: While, yes, Alex Myers & Ruler have experienced quite the problems with one another, they understand that they are still friends at the end of the day, and are willing to do what they must to overcome this hurdle. While they do battle at Shock Value, they are still here to accomplish victory and keep their strengths as a unit strong.
Rich Russillo: A bit too hopeful there, they have been experiencing these issues for quite some time now. Who knows if they will ever be patched up completely, and they have to face two Hall of Famers who are competing for the EAW World Championship at Shock Value. We’ll see if they can shift momentum on their side due in part to their enhanced synergy as a team.
(‘Ambitionz Az A Ridah’ hits throughout the speakers now as there’s a heightened reaction from the audience for the EAW Hall of Famer. TLA makes his way out ‘72 Monte Carlo without a roof, while TLA nods to the beat of his theme song. TLA makes no doubts about his confident demeanor heading into tonight’s match, though is briefly halted as ‘It Ain’t Safe’ by Skepta can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the entire audience drowns out the music with their negative reactions. The EAW World Champion, Charlie Marr makes his way out while holding his championship closely, as himself and TLA eye one another intently.)

James Peters: These two men are fated to meet inside the ring at Shock Value as well, at odds with one another as they will do battle for the EAW World Championship! But tonight, they will fight NICHOLISM in what looks to be one hell of a main event! I understand Charlie Marr is quite the polarizing world champion, and TLA has picked up quite the steam since his victory from King of Elite as well.
Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr has been a world champion that understands winning is all that matters by any means necessary. We saw that much with King of Elite, and we saw that much with how he won the title in the first place! NICHOLISM has quite the opportunity tonight to make a statement as a team, but Charlie Marr & TLA are quite the threat ahead of them in this main event match…
Persephone: 🥱
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: And we have our main event now underway! Starting this match from both sides will be Alex Myers and TLA. Alex Myers wants to prove themselves to Ruler, and that could portray itself as a dumb decision currently, as they are putting themselves in the opportunity to get weakened. However on the other side of things, TLA starts the match cause well, it was obvious Charlie wasn’t kicking this one off. He wants TLA to be in the worst position possible, as long as Charlie isn’t the one taking the damage here in this match, it probably doesn’t bother him at all what happens tonight. TLA and Alex size one another up, as they slowly enter a collar and elbow tie-up! TLA being the size advantage here, manages to turn things around temporarily early on, getting Alex Myers into a wrist lock! Alex Myers you can see as they look on, Ruler in the corner, let’s just say.. it’s a very Ruler expression.
James Peters: Yeah that one is for sure, a not really impressed expression, and that expression is for view, and you can see the response with Alex Myers, as they are absolutely not having away with that! tension setting, as they remain in the wrist lock, BEFORE ALEX MYERS GETS TLA WITH A HURRICANRANA! Taking TLA down, that was a clean counter to the wrist lock. But Alex Myers, they still are keeping intermediate focus on Ruler! Which is a problem, I think that when you check all the boxes off here, NICHOLISM has a much better chance of survival in a tag team match, but you can’t undermine TLA and Charlie Marr. Don’t stray away from the path. Keep your focus intently on them, or problems will create themselves, Alex Myers turns their attention back towards TLA– INTO A HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN!
Rich Russillo: Well on a limb, things change in its entirety. Alex Myers just focused on that a little too much. Now the persuasion is here. You can see Alex Myers rise to their feet using the ropes, as they know Ruler is locked in with his focus. And that is making Alex Myers want to perform better, as he approaches TLA.. BUT WAIT A SECOND, THEY PICKS UP THE PACE AND GETS TLA WITH A LEAPING CLOTHESLINE EARLY ON IN THIS ONE! That was huge for Alex Myers as they stood looking down at what they just accomplished. It was a pat on the back sequence, managing to get the most of that situation, and take TLA down!
Persephone: I wish this match got taken down immediately.
(TAG!)
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND, RULER JUST TAGGED HIMSELF IN! Alex Myers looks surprised as they have no other choice but to leave the ring. Ruler looks at TLA slowly rising up to his feet, as he is looking to take sharp advantage of his opponent. Charlie Marr watching from the corner as TLA rises up to his feet, a bad situation to be in, as RULER TREADS FORWARDS, LOOKING TO HIT TLA WITH THE CLOTHESLINE– NO! TLA finds just enough time to avoid and duck the axe handle, as Ruler gets discombobulated briefly, making an onward collision with the turnbuckle, but wait TLA follows up quickly behind.. AND HITS RULER WITH A TIGER SUPLEX! HE KEEPS THE PIN HELD!
ONEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: But Ruler gets out just before the count of three! And hmm, isn’t this some intriguing interest here now? Alex Myers, when they were in the ring, they managed to sustain things and get it all connected up under their control. BUT, when things changed in the favor of that tag, we now see TLA with the momentum in his hands. Just food for thought, that’s all I’m really going to say. But NICHOLISM, you can definitely tell there’s mental strategy being played in this game here. But the question I’m asking is, how much of it is playing against NICHOLISM here in the early goings of this match? Back to the action however, TLA would get up to his feet now, as he garnered his focus and attention towards Ruler. Ruler would slowly pull himself up using the ropes, and TLA is setting up for a manuever here—
(TAG!)
Persephone: Well that was dumb.
James Peters: TLA TAGS IN CHARLIE MARR! He waited for Ruler to continue to rise up to his feet, only to tag in the champion himself, Charlie Marr. Okay, maybe that was TLA taking into account the next week or so. Charlie Marr looks a bit surprised by that, but the champion enters the ring. I gotta give TLA for the wishful thinking? Throw your opponent off the grid, anyways. We have Charlie Marr and Ruler in the ring now, as both men are sizing one another up.. you can see Ruler moving a little gingerly after taking that tiger suplex. His tag team partner Alex Myers watches on, Ruler makes his way over to Charlie Marr, looking to sneak in a quick strike on the EAW World Champion! BUT CHARLIE MARR WAS READY FOR IT, AS HE SWINGS RULER OVER INTO AN ARMDRAG! The EAW World Champion controlling the pace now, as he holds Ruler on the ground by his arm. Driving his knee into the back of his shoulder! You can see some concern in the face of Alex Myers. But that’s how much they truly deeply care. After everything they’ve gone through, after all they’re gonna go through. They still just care!
Rich Russillo: Ruler is in a tough situation right now, as you can see him showing concern as he tries to escape. But the EAW World Champion Charlie Marr is so focused in! Ruler finally starts finding some signs of life however, as he slowly pulls himself up off the ground. Charlie Marr is still resisting, but Ruler starts to soften the grounds a little bit. Hitting Charlie in the gut a couple times, that opens up the crease just enough! Ruler manages to get himself complaced again, getting it all back together. As he turns around and loses grasp of Ruler. But Ruler has to make a quick response now, as he continues to keep the onslaught nailing on the EAW World Champion! Hitting him with multiple uppercuts to the face! Charlie Marr finds himself losing the possession and control of the match he had early on now. As Ruler gets him into the corner with the upper cuts. Charlie Marr now in the corner, Ruler would snapmare him out into the middle of the ring! Charlie Marr now in the middle of the ring as Ruler rebounds off the ropes, LOOKING TO HIT THE CHAMPION WITH A LEG DROP–
James Peters: BUT CHARLIE MARR JUST FINDS THE TIME TO ESCAPE! ROLLING OUT OF THE WAY AS RULER DROPS ON THE MAT! It was tough scenery for Ruler. But a near perfect one for the EAW World Champion. Now given the opportunity as he sees Ruler laying on the ground, Charlie Marr immediately rises up to his feet, grabbing Ruler.. Ruler would be brung up to his feet as the EAW World Champion had him in his grasp now, wasting no time, NAILING RULER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! AND RULER GOES BACK DOWN! It has been somewhat of a tough out for Ruler earlier on in this contest as he rolls over towards the corner. But you don’t see Ruler with that urgency to tag out. He’s enduring this, in a way does any of that correlate to what he told Alex Myers earlier in the night? He wants to protect them. Maybe this is his act of protection right now.
Persephone: I wish Luis would protect me from this garbage.
Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr looks at his opponent in the corner as he drags himself over towards the opposite corner. He awaits for Ruler to pull himself up out of said corner, and finally when that opportunity has arrived, Charlie Marr finds some vicious intent and focuses in his rear view mirror. AS HE GOES TO HIT RULER WITH A BIG BOOT– NO! RULER GOT THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION WITH THE SPINNING BACK FIST AS CHARLIE MARR GOES DOWN! Great situational awareness showed from Ruler, his situation was about to get a whole lot worse, and he had to make a quick response! Ruler looks down at his opponent, Charlie Marr. Slowly lifting him up off the ground, as he looks at his tag team partner Alex Myers. Was he going to tag them in, and let them add additionally to what Ruler started? Nope. RULER HITS CHARLIE MARR WITH A URANAGE AS HE STARES ALEX MYERS IN THE EYES THE ENTIRE TIME. HE GOES FOR THE PINFALL!
ONEEEEE!
TWOOOOO!
THR-
James Peters: BUT CHARLIE MARR GETS OUT BEFORE THREE! I expected that. It was a simple uranage and Charlie Marr didn’t just become champion because he lost to a couple uranages. He is locked in rightfully so. Ruler looked on at Charlie Marr who had escaped his pinfall attempt, and he was so close. He just contemplates to himself what he should do next, whilst in the opposite corner you can see TLA firmly watching the match. If there’s one person enjoying this right now? It probably has to be TLA. Charlie Marr is getting softened up just enough for TLA to reap the benefits next week! But you can tell that urgency remains with TLA if his number is called. But putting focus back on Ruler in the ring now, as he creates distance between himself and Charlie Marr.. planning something with the precision for whenever Charlie rises up to his feet!
Rich Russillo: Ruler aims for a swift knee li—BUT CHARLIE WITH A BIG BOOT! Quick thinking from Charlie there as Ruler’s sent sprawling back into the corner here! Now Charlie keeps his eyes plastered directly on Ruler here, as Marr makes the run directly toward him in the corner here… but no one home!! Ruler finds a way to lift his boot up as it connects right across the jaw of Charlie Marr! Ruler’s been trying to keep himself in a far more plausible position! Charlie’s eagerly trying to move himself back toward Ruler as quickly as he can—ONLY FOR A HURRICANRANA TO CATCH CHARLIE OFF GUARD! Charlie rolls right into his back and toward the ropes as he’s now leaned himself over the top ropes!
(TAG!)
James Peters: But the quick thinking of TLA to tag himself into the match as the legal man just as Ruler isn’t able to see the tag! He’s rolling Charlie Marr into a schoolboy pin but the referee is refusing to count! Ruler’s confusion is swiftly followed up by the ‘SWAG SHOT’!!! A PIMP SLAP THAT’S HEARD ALL AROUND THE WORLD AS RULER LETS GO OF THE PIN! Now Ruler’s got a hand on his face as he’s rolling himself over to the apron, under the bottom ropes as he’s holding on. TLA is bringing himself over to Ruler, seeing that Alex is also in quite the spot here as TLA has his eye on him for a second. But that second is used to Ruler’s advantage, as he pulls TLA right into the ropes neck first with a grip of his arm!!
Persephone: Choked like Rex choked at King of Elite. :mjgrin:
Rich Russillo: While TLA is coughing up the storm of a lifetime over here, Ruler’s keeping a hold of his arm, as he’s now pulling TLA back up to his feet and dragging him right over the ropes & onto the same apron that he is standing over! Ruler is now sending the forearms right across TLA’s jaw, trying to keep him at bay and suppressing any momentum he could muster up! BUT TLA’S RETURNING THE FIRE WITH A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP RIGHT ACROSS HIS CHEST! Ruler with ANOTHER FOREARM! CHOP FROM TLA!! BOTH MEN ARE EXCHANGING THE BLOWS AS NONE OF THEM ARE WILLING TO FALTER HERE!!
James Peters: RULER KICKS TLA’S LEG, CAUSING TLA TO BUCKLE HIS KNEE AS HE’S CLUTCHING THE ROPES TO KEEP HIMSELF UP! Ruler’s eyes are set directly on TLA here as he’s backing himself away now, remaining on the apron as well while also moving himself closer to Alex Myers as well! TLA’s groggily moving back up to his feet all the while Ruler is ready to rush right toward TLA!!
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: RULER RUSHES TOWARD TLA FOR THE LIFTING KNEE—TLA WITH AN OPEN PALM CHOP RIGHT OVER RULER’S CHEST THAT CAN BE HEARD ALL OVER THE ARENA! Ruler’s got his hand placed over his own chest as he’s turning himself around, all the while TLA has Ruler in position… AS THE ZIG ZAG RIGHT ONTO THE APRON CONNECTS!!! RULER SENT BACK FIRST ONTO THE APRON AS HE SLUMPS DOWN ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!! Now TLA is situated on the floor, but he’s quickly bringing himself back up without too much of an issue as he has been bringing the fight to Ruler! TLA would turn himself away from Ruler for a brief moment—
James Peters: ALEX MYERS LEAPS OFF THE APRON AND DELIVERS AN IMMENSE HURRICANRANA OF HIS OWN! SENDING TLA FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! ALEX TAGGED THEMSELF INTO THE MATCH AS RULER WAS BACKING UP! TLA is now holding onto his face while Alex moves back up to their feet, not feeling the effects of this much to the level of their partner, as they are back up and moving right over to TLA while he’s down on the ringside floor! Alex is able to drag TLA upward to his feet with all of their strength, before tossing him back into the ring as they now have their own opportunity here to put TLA away! As he’s motioning himself upward… ALEX ROLLS TOWARD TLA AND NAILS ‘REAL EXISTENCE’!!! ROLLING THUNDER CUTTER CONNECTS AS TLA IS DOWN! ALEX WITH THE COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!
THREE—
Persephone: Kick out from TLAAAAA what a surprise! Truly I am shocked by that one!
Rich Russillo: TLA is able to kick out, but Alex surely is not gonna allow TLA the breathing room to maneuver himself out of this predicament! Now Alex is backing away from TLA, as the #1 Contender for the EAW World Championship proceeds to move himself up to a seated position here. Charlie is at his corner, very much ready to be tagged into the match, though TLA is prone to further punishment from Alex Myers! They’re situated in the corner while TLA is up to his seated position, as ALEX RUSHES TOWARDS HIM WITH ‘DOCTOR SLEEP’—
James Peters: TLA SUDDENLY LIFTS ALEX UP INTO THE AIR & ‘VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT’ CONNECTS RIGHT ACROSS ALEX’S JAW!!! THE UPPERCUT FROM TLA CAUSES ALEX TO SLUMP DOWN AS HE IS NOW STAGGERING BACKWARD INTO HIS CORNER!! POSITIONED EXACTLY IN THE CORNER OF WHERE CHARLIE MARR CAN ALSO BE SEEN, AS HE DOESN’T REFRAIN FROM TAGGING HIMSELF IN!!
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers is rocked to the core, but they are still mustering up all of the strength that they can to move themselves back up to their feet!!! Myers is on wobbly legs, now able to work themself up to their feet as they turn toward the opposite corner—‘THE HEADMASTER RITUAL’ PLANTS ALEX MYERS DOWN ONTO THE MAT!!!!! CHARLIE MARR WITH A VICIOUS SPINEBUSTER THAT IS ABLE TO PUT ALEX DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS, AND THE COVER IS MADE QUICKLY AFTER!!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!
THREEEE—
James Peters: NOT ENOUGH! A kick out from Alex Myers as now Alex is in a seated position here—BUT CHARLIE MARR WITH NO TIME WASTED! MARR’S GOT ‘TRANQUILITY’ LOCKED IN AS ALEX IS NOW TRYING TO SQUIRM THEMSELVES ANY WAY OUT OF THIS SUBMISSION HOLD! THE REAR NAKED CHOKE HAS ALEX TRYING TO GRASP FOR ANY ROPE WITHIN THEIR REACH, BUT CHARLIE’S GOT IT LOCKED IN!!! Alex is doing everything that they possibly can to work their way out of this submission, but Charlie is making that quite difficult right now as he’s keeping Myers as far from any ropes as he can!!!
Persephone: Gonna get bitched yet again, huh Alex?
Rich Russillo: It’s not looking too good for Alex as Ruler’s now mustering up the strength to bring himself up to the apron, but Myers will need to hold out for a bit longer if they want Ruler to save them from this—WAIT! ALEX IS SHIFTING ALL OF THEIR WEIGHT OVER CHARLIE MARR AND TURNS THEIR BODY OVER, AS MARR’S SHOULDER’S ARE DOWN WHILE HE’S KEEPING THE CHOKE!!! THE REFEREE IS COUNTING THIS MANEUVER AS A PIN ATTEMPT AS CHARLIE IS SQUIRMING AS WELL!!!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEE—
James Peters: CHARLIE QUICKLY SQUIRMS FREE AND ESCAPES THE PIN!!! ALEX SHIFTS THEMSELF ONTO THEIR FEET WHILE CHARLIE IS MOVING UP TO HIS KNEES, AND HE’S POSITIONING HIS BODY UPWARD—ALLOWING ALEX TO TAKE ADVANTAGE WITH ‘SUDDEN TRAUMA’!!! THE SWIFT SLINGBLADE FROM ALEX MYERS IS ABLE TO TAKE THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION DOWN!! MYERS QUICKLY COVERS CHARLIE MARR ONCE MORE!!!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEE—
Rich Russillo: NO ONE THERE! CHARLIE KICKS OUT- AND LOOK AT THIS! SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY ONTO ALEX FROM TLA, WHO QUICKLY GRABS CHARLIE BEFORE PULLING HIM TO HIS CORNER! TLA NOW OUT ONTO THE APRON, AND HE TAGS HIMSELF IN!
James Peters: TLA ENTERS THE RING- BUT NOW THERE’S RULER TO INTERFERE, QUICKLY TAKING TLA’S HEAD OFF WITH A LARIAT!!!!
Rich Russillo: Ruler helps Alex up before lifting TLA up onto his shoulders, and I think Ruler’s interference is about to help NICHOLISM pick up the victory! The referee clearly doesn’t have this match under control right now, and these two are making the most of it! SCARY MONSTERS!!!!!
James Peters: NO!!!! TLA SLIPPED BEHIND RULER AND SHOVED HIM FORWARD, AND ALEX ACCIDENTALLY HIT HIM WITH THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!!!! ALEX MYERS CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THEY ACCIDENTALLY JUST TOOK OUT THEIR OWN PARTNER-
Rich Russillo: AND TLA DOESN’T GIVE ALEX ANY TIME TO PROCESS THAT, AS HE HITS ALEX WITH A VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT BEFORE PULLING THEM IN!! MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!! MEXICAN DESTROYER CONNECTS ON ALEX MYERS, AND THERE’S THE COVER BY TLA!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Ambitionz Az A Ridah’ hits, and the crowd cheers as TLA slowly rolls off of Alex Myers. TLA remains laid out on the mat for a moment before slowly sitting up, showing a grin on his face.)
Bella Braxton: Here are your winners… THE TEAM OF TLA AND THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, CHARLIE MARR!!!!
James Peters: WOW! Miscommunication there from NICHOLISM, and that just cost them the match as TLA was able to take advantage of a bad situation!
Rich Russillo: Alex caught Ruler with that bicycle knee, and that may not have been intentional but it completely ruined their plan to take TLA out. Thanks to that, TLA and Charlie pick up the win!
Persephone: Boring. Can we go home now?
(Alex Myers rolls out to ringside, and they’re seen next to Ruler, who isn’t pleased following that match. Ruler is holding his jaw, and as the two begin to make their way up the ramp, he speaks to Alex.)
Ruler: (off-mic) What happened back there?
Alex Myers: (off-mic) What do you mean? I didn’t expect TLA to counter it, I thought you had him!
Ruler: (off-mic) Kneeing me in the face didn’t do us any favors. We had that match won.
Alex Myers: (off-mic) Are you really blaming me for what happened?
(Alex and Ruler continue to argue, until finally Ruler walks off without them. This upsets Alex, who just stops in their tracks for a moment and watches, before shaking their head and slowly beginning to follow behind. Meanwhile, TLA slowly pushes himself back to his feet inside of the ring.)
James Peters: WOAH!!!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE MARR JUST BLINDSIDED TLA, AND I GUESS IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS HAPPENED!!! CHARLIE WITH THAT ATTACK FROM BEHIND, AND NOW HE’S JUST ALL OVER HIS EAW CHAMPIONSHIP CHALLENGER, THROWING PUNCHES AND ELBOWS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD NONSTOP!
James Peters: WAIT A MINUTE, THOUGH! TLA THROWS A BACK ELBOW, AND HE’S ABLE TO GRAB CHARLIE BEFORE PULLING HIM OFF OF HIM! TLA NOW WITH A PUNCH RIGHT INTO CHARLIE’S JAW, CAUSING CHARLIE TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING IN PAIN! TLA IS FIGHTING BACK, AND NOW HE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!!!!!
Rich Russillo: IT CONNECTS, AND TLA REMAINS ON TOP OF CHARLIE AS HE CONTINUES THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS! CHARLIE PUSHES TLA OFF OF HIM THOUGH, AND AS BOTH MEN GET BACK TO THEIR FEET- CHARLIE RUNS INTO TLA, RAMMING HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE RING POST! WE HAVE A HUGE BRAWL ON OUR HANDS RIGHT NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH AT SHOCK VALUE!
James Peters: TLA GRABS CHARLIE BEFORE SENDING HIM TUMBLING UP THE RAMP, AND NOW TLA RUNS IN BEFORE KICKING HIM IN THE MIDSECTION! TLA NOW PULLING CHARLIE UP, BUT CHARLIE BEGINS PUNCHING HIM IN THE RIBS!!!!
Rich Russillo: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS HAS BEEN A VERY CHAOTIC END TO SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE AS THESE TWO CONTINUE TO FIGHT, BUT WE WILL SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK, FOR SHOCK VALUE!
(TLA and Charlie Marr continue punching away at each other, beginning to take their fight to the stage. The fans are all cheering seeing the chaos go down between the two, and as the fight between them continues, the screen fades to black for the final time.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
