(EAW intro plays.)
(The camera opens up with a recap of Super Voltage. It starts off with the Woogieman hosting the show and afterwards, Jack Ripley defeats Jake Smith via roll up in the opening match. After this Haruka Kashimashi defeats Kristen Myers in her Iconic Cup match, and after this Dr. Bethany Blue and Caroline are seen at Super Voltage, before getting in an altercation with IDOL-GUN which leads to IDOL-GUN attacking. Ayu Megumi defeats Liana DeLion after this, and afterwards Minerva defeats Chris Elite in her Gold Rush tournament Semifinals match. Afterwards Shane Gates confronts Kirk Redwood out of paranoia over Lizzie, and Shane accepts a challenge to face Kirk at the first Voltage after Grand Rampage. Afterwards, Kirk Redwood defeats Cloud Stryfe. After this Candice Blair tries to showcase the “new” Danny Tanner so he could get a date, but Danny ends up running away. Afterwards Candice is defeated by Hikari Kanno. Sheridan Müller and Amber Keys then has a match that is thrown out thanks to a huge brawl starting, leading to Diamond Dixon versus Cleopatra becoming No-DQ, and Diamond Dixon taking advantage of this to win. Lucas and Jay Jerry Johnson interrogate the Woogieman, and eventually come closer to finding Fitzgerald’s attacker, who of course is not Woogie. After this Drake King defeats Ms. Extreme, and when IDOL-GUN attacks Ms. Extreme, Dr. Bethany Blue runs in to help her fend off IDOL-GUN. A contract signing is then held for Grand Rampage’s EAW Championship match, and after an attack from SOSA Henderson, Donovan Duke retains the National Elite Championship over Mr. DEDEDE.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades in from the recap to show Madison Square Garden as the crowd roars upon seeing the beautiful array of pyro shoots out from the stage while ’33rd Blakk Glass’ by ZilaKami & SosMula is heard accompanying it. The camera pans around to show the excited EAW Universe before it then focuses on the broadcasting team of Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone.)
Rich Russillo: Ladies and gentlemen we are at the final stretch before the Grand Rampage Free-Per-View! LIVE from the Iconic Madison Square Garden bringing you… SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE!!!
Persephone: Sigh. Another horrendous build to another horrendous FPV because it doesn’t have my Sexy Rexy on it. Now we’re going to have to sit through that stupid Grand Rampage match… FUCK.
James Peters: Well tonight we have our main event which is Brian Daniels and Myles teaming up against J&J Supremacy, which should be interesting. Along with the Iconic Cup and New Era Classic Tournament continuing! A very exciting night for us, so let’s get right into it!
(The camera shot fades to inside the ring, where the always lovely Bella Braxton is standing by.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE WELCOME… MINERVA!!!!
(“Blood, Milk, & Sky” by White Zombie begins to blast across the PA system of the historic Madison Square Garden arena! The fans immediately began to cheer for the EAW Triple Crown winner and 2022 Gold Rush Semi-Finalist. Minerva steps on the stage, black rose in her mouth, dressed in a pair of skin-tight, high-waisted jeans with rips in the knees, a black crop top, and cropped black leather jacket. Black boots are on her feet and her vibrant orange locks are pulled back, space bun style. She poses for a moment before taking her rose and tossing it into the crowd. She’s all business tonight as she heads down to the ring.)
James Peters: Well, I’ll just be the one to say it. When the bracket for the Gold Rush tournament was revealed and Minerva found herself on the opposite side of the draw from Drake King, this is the finals that I wanted. Yeah, that might be biased AF, but it’s about time Minerva gets her chance to make Drake King pay.
Persephone: You know what? I completely agree because you know whatever shit goes down between the two of them next weekend at Grand Rampage is going to be personal. You know it’s going to be a battle. You know that it will likely result in both of them dying and neither one of them making it to Pain for Pride. With no Minerva and no Drake, Captain Charisma will finally do the right thing and bring back my Rexy to face either the ginger cunt or the relic for the EAW World Championship.
Rich Russillo: Leave it to you to somehow find a way to turn what is a very personal and very emotional situation for Minerva and Drake into a way to bring back Rex McAllister.
Persephone: You’re welcome 😊.
(Minerva gets into the ring and takes the microphone from Bella, who takes her leave. Minerva paces around for a bit, lost in her thoughts, as well as her music, and takes a moment to actually enjoy the fact she is standing in the middle of the ring inside of MSG. The crowd is firmly on her side, and she takes a moment to appreciate that as well. Since Road to Redemption, Minerva has been on a quest to find herself and get back to what made her so special in the first place. Whether or not she pictured this particular chapter of her story leading her to the Voltage Pain for Pride main event is unknown, but here she is. All that’s left standing between her and the EAW World Championship shot she craves is the very man who has become the bane of her existence.)
Minerva: Drake King.
(She said his name as soon as her music faded and the audience quieted down. However, they erupted into a barrage of jeers at the very mention of the man’s name. Drake King was hated. He was despised. His name had the ability to make a person sick to their stomach and all Minerva could do at the moment was nod.)
Minerva: Believe me, I get it. I feel the same way. I’ve never been the type of person to get chills whenever someone scratches their nails across a chalkboard. I quite like the sound of it, but I know for most it’s one of the worst sounds in the world. It makes people cringe and plug their ears, and scream at the top of their lungs, and that’s really how I feel whenever I hear his name, even if it just happens to be in passing. It also makes me angry. So angry that I want to take him by the neck and choke the absolute life out of him, and finally… FUCKING FINALLY… I have a chance to do exactly that. For months, Drake King has avoided me like the plague because he knows exactly what I’m going to do once we’re in the ring with one another and he has no place to hide. I’m going to make Drake feel everything he’s ever made me feel since Road to Redemption and he’s not going to like it one bit. My goal is to headline Pain for Pride and become the EAW World Champion, but I’m not going to put my personal desire to humiliate, beat, and batter Drake King on the backburner. The Gold Rush finals may present me with the opportunity I’ve been wanting for the longest time in terms of my professional career, but it’s giving me the chance to settle a personal score against a person I once trusted with my life and considered a brother, and right now, that is just as important.
(A look of disgust mixed with sorrow crosses Minerva’s face. No doubt there are countless memories running through her mind at this very moment. The good times with New Eden are obviously marred by Drake’s disgusting and rather selfish betrayal, thus letting her know that absolutely all of it was a lie.)
Minerva: For nearly a year, I had to deal with everyone calling me a lackey, telling me that Drake was going to turn on Myles and I, and questioning why I would put myself in a position to do another person’s dirty work. I believed in what we were doing and I believed that Drake, Myles, and myself were equal partners in our quest to make EAW a better place. I’ve never been shy about speaking my mind about how I view the hierarchy of this place. I’ve spoken about the favorites getting what they want, when they want it, and how the rest of us have been left to beg for the scraps. That’s part of why I became so invested in New Eden. We were working together to abolish the norm and put everyone on an equal playing field. But thanks to Drake, none of it made a difference in the end. He was working for himself and being the person everyone pegged him as. It sickens me that I fell for the act and lost myself in the process. Moot points now, I suppose, but at the very least, at least now I have the chance to be who Siobhan Destiny Vladislav really is.
(The slightest hint of a smile crosses Minerva’s pale face.)
Minerva: EAW never signed me to become the face of this place, and even now, my purpose isn’t to get myself on more posters or advertisements. EAW signed me because of how ruthless of a competitor I am, and that’s who Minerva actually is. I’ve made my name synonymous with championships and big-time wins because that’s always been what I want. That’s who I am, and if that makes me greedy, then oh fucking well. At least I’m honest about what I need to feel fulfilled in this business. I’m not a glorified coward who is trying to masquerade their true intentions behind a veil of smoke. Drake stated that his entire reason for entering himself in the Gold Rush tournament was to stop me from winning and I can’t help but call foul on that. We all know that Drake’s own lust for the spotlight is what’s truly driving him, and he wants nothing more than to see himself have a third championship reign. Unfortunately, Drake is nobody’s fool and he knows very well that the biggest threat to him right now is me. He’s gone above and beyond to duck, dodge, and keep me away from Voltage and out of his way, but now? There’s nowhere for him to hide.
(Before Minerva can continue, the sound of maniacal laughter can be heard. The fans, as well as Minerva, start looking around to see where it’s coming from. A few seconds later, the giant videotron flickers on and Drake King is seen leaning on the altar inside of his compound, dressed in a black leather suit that is complemented with a black dress shirt and red tie. A black leather glove conceals his hand that was damaged during the infamous Chainsaw Deathmatch back at Bloodsport 2, and that glove has become a bit of a trademark for Drake since then. His hair is pulled back in a manbun and he is no longer laughing. In fact, there’s not a single trace of humor on his face.)
Drake King: Hi.
(There is obvious disappointment on Minerva’s face because now she knows Drake is not in the building tonight.)
Drake King: I’m sure you’re going to accuse me of ducking you once again because I have chosen to spend the weekend in the comfort of my own home as opposed to being in a disgusting, sin-filled place like New York City, but I really don’t care.
(More boos fill the arena. The New York crowd doesn’t appreciate hearing Drake talk down on their city. Drake merely waved his hand, as if to brush them off. The only thing on his mind right now is directly addressing his former ally and Grand Rampage opponent.)
Drake King: You’ll get what’s coming to you next weekend at Grand Rampage and we can finally put this whole, inconvenient situation to bed. I took absolutely no pleasure in what I had to do at Road to Redemption, but again, it bears repeating, YOU gave me no choice. YOU conspired with Myles behind my back to change what I thought were OUR plans to get rid of the Extreme Elimination Chamber. YOU lied to ME and told ME that reinstating the chamber was for the good of New Eden when in fact YOU were hoping to steal the EAW Championship from ME the entire time. Sure, you acted like you were going to walk out and leave me to get the victory, but I’m not stupid, Minerva. You were going to turn around at the last second and take me out, get the win, and get your filthy hands on the EAW World Championship. You have said yourself, you have no real morals, and you don’t know the first thing about being honorable, and after catching yourself and Myles in one too many lies, what needed to happen became very clear. I had to eliminate the weak link from New Eden. Other than assisting Myles in a few tag team matches and scraping by in your National Elite Championship defenses which included struggling against people like Kirk Redwood and Shane Gates :mjlol:, you did nothing to benefit New Eden as a whole. Not once did you ever do anything that truly helped better the group and strengthen our hold on Voltage. CAMILLE did more for New Eden in ONE match than you did during your entire time ‘fighting’ alongside Myles and I. Who knows what would have happened in Barbed Wire Massacre VII if Camille hadn’t taken it upon herself to get involved and punish Donovan Duke and Justin Windgate for their disgusting actions earlier in the night? You probably would have cost us the match and honestly? I don’t think anyone would have been surprised by that. I don’t think you were ever in New Eden to help us make EAW a better place. I think you used New Eden to make sure you stayed in the spotlight.
(Minerva can’t help but shake her head, truly at a loss for what Drake just accused her of.)
Minerva: What?
Drake King: You heard me. People wanted to point the finger at me and say that I was using you and Myles to do my bidding and all along, it was you. You were the one using the spotlight and opportunity Myles and I gave you to push your own selfish and self-serving agenda. Myles and I were cut from the same cloth. We always put the competitive aspect of this sport first. We never focused on championship gold. That’s what brought the two of us together in the first place. Myles was open and honest about how much destruction and misery championships bring to this business, and when I returned to this company, I took note of that and I listened. Myles’ message spoke to me. I understood it. After all, being a champion never truly got me anywhere. It marked me as a public enemy number one and sent me on a spiraling, unpleasant journey that saw many of my friends and family get hurt along the way. I saw the light, Minerva, and I decided that the Drake King of old is not who I wanted to be at all. I was reborn and given a second chance to do things the right way, and that’s what I did! I joined forces with Myles! Unfortunately, his emotions brought you into the fold, but even then, I still had hope. I had faith. I believed that the three of us could truly change this place. I never once thought that you would be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, nor did I ever imagine that Myles would be a spineless, gutless simp of a man who was led by his nether regions and not his brain. But alas. I am used to people showing their true colors and disappointing me, and that’s why I had to punish you at Road to Redemption. You deserved it, and even though I took it easy on you, Myles was still upset. There are plenty of demireps that flutter about this company, exposing their bodies, and taking advantage of the fact they are the fairer sex. Using what God gave you to gain an unfair advantage over a weak, impressionable mind is sin that deserves a cruel and fitting punishment, but I wanted to spare Myles and his fragility as much as I possibly could since he’s been manipulated into believing that he loves you. That is why you only wear my brand on your shoulder, Minerva. Believe me, you deserve much more than that.
(Drake pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath.)
Drake King: And that’s exactly what you are going to get at Grand Rampage. If you thought the ending of the Elimination Chamber was harsh, you haven’t seen anything yet. I’m going to finish what I started, and at Pain for Pride, I will take back the EAW World Championship. You’ve caused me a lot of misery, Minerva, and you have wasted so much of my time that I will never be able to get back. But once I’m done with you and you’ve been treated like the strumpet you are, I can finally rest my head at night and close my eyes knowing that EAW will no longer be polluted with your unholy ways.
(On that note, Drake closes his eyes and brings his hands into a prayer formation. The audience is beside themselves with nothing but disdain for this man and his ability to continuously twist the narrative to make himself look like a martyr. As Drake goes into a prayer, the videotron fades to black leaving the focus on Minerva, who is inside the ring, and shaking with anger. She’s gripping the microphone and fighting the urge to run from the ring and launch herself at the screen. That’s how badly she wants to get her hands on Drake and tear him to pieces.)
(And on that, Voltage fades to break.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for Grand Rampage, where Drake King faces Minerva in the Gold Rush tournament finals.)
(Sunday Night Voltage transitions back to the ring to show Bella Braxton standing inside ready to announce the next match!)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a New Era Classic Block C match scheduled FOR!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( ‘Walk with Me in Hell’ by Lamb of God plays throughout the sound system of the arena as The Goddess Liana DeLions is making her way to the ring. She has a look of confidence towards herself, grinning and feeling like she has this in the bag. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Tampa Bay, Florida! Weighing in at 232 and a half pounds! LIANA DeLIONS!!!
James Peters: Strong off a submission victory last week, here comes Liana DeLion looking to gain more points tonight!
Rich Russillo: Even though winning the tournament doesn’t seem to be in the plans anymore, Liana would benefit greatly by beating one of the frontrunners of her Block. She sure looks hungry to get a victory! Now let’s see if her opponent hasn’t bit off more than she could chew.
( ‘Streets (Instrumental)’ by Doja Cat plays through the sound system of the Garden as The Perfect Storm Aurora Monroe is making her way to the ring. She has a no-nonsense look on her face as she looks ready to go to work here tonight on Voltage. )
Bella Braxton: AAAAND HER OPPONENT! From New Orleans, Louisiana! Weighing in at 160 pounds; AURORA MONROE!!!
James Peters: Here comes a woman who will surely be looking to let out some frustration in this match, having lost in her last match in the New Era Classic Tournament against Cloud Stryfe thanks to interference from Lucas Knight.
Rich Russillo: Aurora knows how dominant she can be in the squared circle, that woman is able to pack a wallop that can surprise anyone who underestimates her strength! I have no doubt she has this in the bag tonight.
Persephone: DO THE THING REF!!!
Referee: RING THE BELL!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We GO! This match is officially underway! Two warriors looking ready to go are about to duke it in the ring for the enjoyment of the fans!
Persephone: Will you stop lusting over those two bitches? You sound pathetic.
James Peters: Meanwhile inside the ring, both Elitists have just locked up, trying to gain a physical advantage over each other. Aurora gains the advantage by transitioning to a wrist lock standing by Liana’s side. DeLion reverses the move, applying a wrist lock of her own. That is before Aurora spins, wrapping her arm around DeLion’s head, AND BRINGS HER DOWN TO THE FLOOR! Both ladies quickly get back to their feet! This time Liana locks in a wristlock, followed by a headlock, before whipping Monroe to the ropes… TAKING HER DOWN WITH A HIP TOSS! Liana quickly proceeds with a headlock keeping Aurora docile for now.
Rich Russillo: Liana moves to force Aurora’s shoulders to the mat! The official counts!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: No good as The Tempest moves her shoulders off the canvas! The headlock is maintained by Liana as both opponents rise to their feet and Aurora throws a few elbows to the stomach of DeLion! She whips Liana into a corner, but it is reversed by Liana! DeLion attempts a clothesline from the corner, but Aurora hops over the charging woman and takes her down with a hip toss of her own! Liana with leg sweep takes down Monroe, and both ladies are quickly back up to their feet with a kip-up! They thought about the same thing as they stare down each other.
James Peters: There is no love lost between these two for sure! Both lock up in a clinch before Monroe whips DeLions into the ropes. Monroe goes running, as well she tries a clothesline, but Liana ducks low! Into the ropes, she goes AND AURORA TAKES DOWN LIANA WITH A SLING BLADE!! Both get back up from the move, Aurora with the help of the ropes, before being whipped away from them. BUT she grabs hold of Liana’s arm reversing the throw, and follows her opponent to the other side, throwing a European Uppercut right against the jaw of DeLion! She drops like a log! Monroe with a cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: DeLion kicks out of the move! It must be a reflex seeing how she seemed out of it from the hit to the chin. Monroe has a chance to take the ascendency in this match as she whips DeLion to a corner. She calls for a corner body slam, and she goes for it, BUT LIANA CAUGHT AURORA AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A BODYSLAM! Liana quickly back to herself and moves down with a leg drop to the back of her opponent, before helping her to her feet. Whip into a corner! She runs to Monroe WHO DRIVES AN ELBOW TO THE FACE OF DeLION!
James Peters: Aurora now setting Liana into a corner, she is driving some strong punches and body blows to her opponent before hoisting her so she sits on the top turnbuckle. What does Monroe have in store for DeLion? Aurora grabs a hold of Liana setting her up for A POWERBOMB!! RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! BUT MONROE DOESN’T LET GO OF LIANA SHE LIFTS HER UP! DRILLING HER AGAIN WITH A SECOND POWERBOMB!! AND SHE GOES FOR A THIRD!! WHAT POWER BY AURORA AS SHE KEEPS LIANA DOWN FOR A PINFALL ATTEMPT!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: That would’ve been a neat way to finish an otherwise lame match!
Rich Russillo: The match just started Persephone, you oughta be more patient.
Persephone: Not part of my job description.
Rich Russillo: Monroe gets off of DeLion and flexes her guns to the crowd causing some measure of reaction, before she goes back to her opponent and forces her to a vertical base! She goes behind DeLion, hugging, AND GOES FOR A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! Liana holds the back next from the pain but is given no respite as Monroe forces her up. She gets whipped into the ropes… AND TAKEN DOWN WITH A BIG BOOT!! Monroe is having her way with DeLion and things aren’t looking good for the second-generation star!
James Peters: Liana gets lifted up by the smaller Monroe, grabbed by the neck, AND CHOKESLAMMED TO THE GROUND WITH AUTHORITY! Then Aurora is throwing out some choice words I’d rather not repeat as she puts a boot on her chest of Liana. What audacity by the New Orleans native as she is trying to win a match with a boot to her opponent’s c-SHE IS GRABBED BY DeLION! LIANA GRABBED A HOLD OF AURORA’S FOOT AND BEGINS TO TWIST IT INTO AN ANKLE LOCK FROM THE GROUND!! AURORA QUICKLY DROPS TO HER BACK AND BEGINS TO KICK WITH HER FREE FOOT AT LIANA WHO ENDS UP LETTING GO! Well thought by DeLion! Aurora has a lesson to learn from this as she gets up.
Rich Russillo: Liana is vertical as well, rushing to Aurora… BUT IS TAKEN DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER! THEN A THIRD! Monroe shoves DeLion to a corner and throws in some knife-edged chops to the chest of her opponent, before moving an arm around the neck of Liana keeping her under control in a headlock.
James Peters: Into the ropes goes DeLion whipped hard by her opponent… WHO CLIPS HER WITH A DROPKICK! Perfectly aimed by Aurora before she goes down on Liana… AND APPLIES A BOW AND ARROW STRETCH!! SHE HAS IT IN TIGHT!! DeLION DOESN’T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THAT ONE! Luckily for her, she is reaching and grabs a hold of the nearby ropes, saving herself from a potential loss!
Rich Russillo: This seems to annoy Aurora just a little as she had a chance to finish it right there. She moves towards her opponent scooping her up and positioning her for a Samoan Dro-
James Peters: And suddenly Liana throws a thumb to the eyes of Aurora! This feels like a desperation maneuver on the part of DeLion who has been on the receiving end of a beating for a while now in this match! This is an opportunity to gain the upper hand and inch closer to a possible victory now as she moves by Aurora after slipping off her shoulders and… APPLIES A DRAGON SUPLEX!!
Rich Russillo: She continues her offense with a Japanese arm drag followed by an armbar to keep Monroe down. SHE DROPS A KNEE to the stomach of Aurora! AND THEN DROPS A LEG! She then kip-up’s her way back to her feet waiting for Monroe to get up, looking at her taped wrist as if it was a watch which causes boos to erupt from the crowd.
James Peters: Liana throws a backhand to Monroe as she gets back up, before bringing her down with a heel trip followed by a waist lock!! AS SHE THEN DEADLIFTS MONROE INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! WHAT A MOVE! Monroe’s down and DeLion moves for a headlock followed by a quick wrist lock, which she uses to Irish whip Aur-Oh! Reversed by Monroe who throws DeLion into the ropes… BUT SHE GETS SHOULDER BLOCKED FOR HER EFFORT! Down goes Aurora again before she gets thrown to a corner by her opponent.
Rich Russillo: Monroe is on the receiving end of a series of shoulder charges aimed at her ribs, the tackles were thrown in stiffly by Liana which she follows with a series of kicks to the stomach and then some punches… BEFORE MOVING IN CLOSE AND THROWING MONROE WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!!
James Peters: Folks we have to take a commercial break! Don’t go anywhere, this match and Sunday Night Voltage will be back right after this!
( Advertisement for Battle for Egypt, featuring the Unified Tag Team Champions, Voltage’s own Haircare Kings, plays sponsored by TelecomEgypt )
James Peters: Ladies and Gentlemen we are back and we thank you for being with us here tonight on Voltage! For those who just tuned in, we are in the middle of a New Era Classic Block C match between Liana DeLion and Aurora Monroe!
Rich Russillo: Through the commercial break both competitors went at one another hard the advantage is not rather equal between the two as DeLion had it for a while but Monroe is mounting a comeback! Quite an entertaining match so far!
Persephone: Are we watching the same crap here Rich?
Rich Russillo: We are, Aurora is throwing a left to Liana who blocks with a forearm then throws a right of her own, blocked the same way by Monroe! Aurora throws an arm for a clothesline but Liana hands on to it almost dragging Monroe down with her! DeLion throws a clothesline on the way up as well and Monroe holds onto her arm as well! They are basically mirroring one another’s moves at the moment!
James Peters: Aurora throws a sidekick to the knee of Liana who goes for a thrust kick to the stomach of Monroe! Aurora throws herself forward which is ducked by DeLion who goes for an elbow drop! Aurora rolls away and attempts a kick to Liana’s face that misses by a shoelace!
Rich Russillo: Both opponents are now throwing hammer fists at each other! Aurora! Then Liana! Monroe again! Matched by DeLion the punches look like they could rock the ring and they suddenly get quicker and quicker in the face and the crowd clearly enjoys this display of beating the shit out of each other!
Rich Russillo: These warrior women look like they could do that all night and the crowd doesn’t seem like they would grow bored of it.
James Peters: Zip it Persephone we know what you’re going to say!
Persephone: I… err… How Fucking Rude!!
Rich Russillo: Liana gains the upper hand with a poke to the eyes, not the first time she does it as she backs away from Monroe under the referee’s orders. Liana hops over to Aurora… WHO LIFTS HER UP INTO A SWINGING POWERSLAM!!!
James Peters: Liana DeLion is reeling but is hanging on! Holding herself to the ropes as Aurora is making her way to her. A few punches to the face followed by a pair of elbows find their mark before DeLion gets Irish whipped into the ropes! Boot to the midsection forces her to lean forward as MONROE LIFTS HER UP!! AND SLAMS HER DOWN WITH THE TEMPEST!! THE PUMPHANDLE FACE SLAM PLANTS DeLION HARD ON THE MAT!! AURORA GOES FOR THE COVER! THIS COULD BE IT RIGHT THERE!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: WAIT! AURORA RELEASED THE PIN ATTEMPT AND DECIDED AGAINST IT BEFORE LOCKING IN A SHARPSHOOTER! SHE DOESN’T WANT JUST A PINFALL VICTORY, SHE WANTS TO TAP LIANA OUT! AND SHE’S GOING TO DO IT USING LIANA’S OWN FINISHING MOVE!
James Peters: LIANA IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AS AFTER EVERYTHING SHE WENT THROUGH I DON’T THINK SHE CAN TAKE MUCH MORE… AS SHE TAPS OUT! AURORA WINS! TALK ABOUT INSULT TO INJURY!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( ‘Streets (Instrumental)’ by Doja Cat plays over the sound system of the Garden as Aurora Monroe gets herself up to her feet with a confident expression on her face. She steps forward as the referee makes their way over and brings Aurora’s lead arm up in victory. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies And Gentlemen The Winner Of This Bout by SUBMISSION: AURORA MONROE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: AND THIS ONE IS OVER FOLKS! Aurora Monroe takes the win and three points in the tournament with an impressive victory over Liana DeLion! And her mocking Liana with her own finish just added to it!
Rich Russillo: The Goddess came for a fight here on Sunday Night Voltage but she was bested by Showdown’s own Tempest Aurora Monroe.
Persephone: Glad it’s over!
(As Aurora Monroe celebrates her victory, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(The camera cuts backstage towards Sofia Clarke standing backstage, she has a bright smile on her face like always as she begins talking to the camera.)
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome one of Voltage’s bright newcomers, Wildcard-
(Sofia turns ready for her guest to walk into the shot of the camera but she was taken off guard seeing Wildcard already standing next to her, she appeared all of the sudden without making any noise! Wildcard definitely has an intimidating presence to her, considering she stood at 5’11 and she was a lot taller and bigger than Sofia. She has a serious expression on her face when looking down at Sofia but she seemed to actually be in a good mood. She has indeed been successful picking up some wins after failing in her debut and she wants to keep picking up more no matter what. Finally, a small smile forms and she speaks up.)
Wildcard: Sofia, right? Don’t be scared, it is alright. Grandma doesn’t bite.
Sofia Clarke: Uhhh…of course, sorry about that. Wildcard, welcome to the interview! What are your thoughts on your stay here in EAW so far?
Wildcard: Hmmm…that’s a good question, a very great one even! But i’ll take it from here Sofia, I don’t want your arm to get tired after having it stretched up for that long.
(Wildcard suddenly snatches the microphone from Sofia’s hand and turns directly to look at the camera.)
Wildcard: In short words, very thrilling. I absolutely love that I was able to land here in Voltage, it is definitely the best destination for the kind of person who would love to see people take their bodies to their limit until they can’t walk anymore and they are as unmoving as wooden dolls on strings. It is perfect for Wildcard, it reminds me much of the hardcore nature of The Circus along with the fact it calls out to me, I am drawn to it. I have both the chance to prove myself here and I have the chance to satiate my deep hunger from the carnage I see and I can create. I’ll admit I took a wrong step when entering through the door, I let Katherine Helle take me down in my debut to the masses but it simply ended up being another instance of beginner’s luck for her. I hit a roadblock in the first match and I got to thinking, what would I do next? Simple, get serious.
Wildcard: Second time around? I defeated her, along with her useless sack of shit partner, Hoodlum. My words were proven true and whittle Katherine took her first loss. Funny how she didn’t bother speaking up this week, but that’s neither here nor there. She got lucky beating me in our debut match and really thought she was going to be the shit around here. Well she’s shit alright… a big, steaming pile of it. Now, everything has been fine and dandy but…there is something that has been nagging me, like walking on the street normally and accidentally stepping on a piece of gum levels of nagging, so Sofia, you think you could figure out what I am annoyed about?
Sofia Clarke: I think I’m supposed to ask the questions around here…
Wildcard: Well, congratulations, you get a surprise break! Now answer me here, I have only had three matches in this company but what do my first match and my most recent match have in common?
Sofia Clarke: Uh…well, they both had Katherine Helle on it, but also…they have been on Showdown?
Wildcard: Ding ding ding! Correct! The golden child is a whole annoying problem herself but the right answer is that I have been appearing more on Showdown instead of the brand I have been drafted to, and I will not let that little annoying piece of gum keep getting stuck to my shoe, I will finally do what I have set out to do on this brand and that is lay everybody to rest-
???: EEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Wildcard: …?
???. EHEM, EHEM, EHEM, EW, UGH, YUCK! Why is there so much dust in this place, I can barely breathe around here!
(Wildcard immediately notices who the voice belonged to and she simply takes a deep breath in response as she turned over to the side and she saw a woman standing there, the camera quickly pans over to reveal Robyn Valentine, a Voltage newcomer, who was simply texting on her phone with a bored look on her face. She finally noticed the camera was fully on her and a sudden smile appeared as she threw her phone overhead.)
Robyn Valentine: OMGGGGG, HI #BESTIE!!! Don’t worry about my phone, my daddy can always buy me a new one- Now anyway, I couldn’t hold myself back from hearing this totally cool speech you were trying to do to intimidate all of those losers you are gonna run through but…I think you are maybe getting shoes that are too big for you, #ThoseHeelsDon’tFit, because you are like…actually trash, 100% made of rotten scum, I know we became #Besties as soon as we teamed that one time in Showdown and we had a prosperous and healthy one week friendship but wow, you are so #Boring, I fell asleep like 100 times hearing you speak in front of that camera, I simply couldn’t take it anymore. I had to interrupt you so you would stop for me and everyone’s sake because nobody wants to hear a weirdo like you talk. I stepped in that ring with you and with all the honesty in the world, you aren’t as good as you think, #Sorry.
(Wildcard was clearly annoyed with what Robyn had to say to her as she gave the microphone back to Sofia and she looked directly at Robyn with a small glare.)
Wildcard: And then you have to appear of all people. Look, I don’t know what kind of basis you stand on of telling me those idiotic statements, but you really come off as green as grass. You can’t walk in here and interrupt what I am trying to say, only to spew out incomprehensible words. I know I got my years and there is a whole new generation but normal people in the real world don’t talk like you. If you are going to call me a weirdo then you are a freak yourself, because I don’t believe you even know what kind of place you are. This place isn’t fit for spoiled, rich, entitled bitches like you.
(Robyn’s jaw drops in pure shock when hearing Wildcard say that about her. Wildcard steps a bit closer to Robyn and Robyn simply takes a step back but she doesn’t stop talking at all and she raises her voice in response.)
Robyn Valentine: WOW, OK GRANNY! I don’t know why you are getting so mad about me telling the truth to you. It’s not my problem I have been raised well unlike you, my daddy always taught me that Honesty is the best policy and I was honest in saying to your face that you are #Trash, but if you are going to get so pissy about it then fine! Our friendship is officially #OVER! And being honest again, our friendship felt faker than an Instagram Model! I would never be friends with an old woman like you, trying to be hip without hips acting so edgy to cater to all the emos watching, but sadly for you, everyone is watching ME! Robyn Valentine! I might be green as you say but If in your wrestling career it took you all those years to get that experience and turn from worthless to trash, then it won’t take long before I turn from gorgeous and beautiful to the greatest thing ever-
Wildcard: Well if you are so confident in those words, then why do you prove that to me? It’s not like you won last night on Showdown.
(Robyn glares at Wildcard.)
Robyn Valentine: Oh i’ll definitely prove that to you, #Sackofbo-
Wildcard: Prove that to me in a match.
Robyn Valentine: Uhhhh…okay. You will lose but okay.
Wildcard: Want to make a bet on that?
Robyn Valentine: Bet that I can beat you in a match? Sure.
Wildcard: Any match?
Robyn Valentine: Well yeah, duh.
Wildcard: Alright…how about an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch?
(The crowd absolutely pops when hearing Wildcard say that stipulation, a stipulation truly fit for the Voltage fans. Robyn’s expression turns into pure confusion as she slowly responds.)
Robyn Valentine: :comeagain: #WHAT
Wildcard: Hey, you said any match.
Robyn Valentine: :francis:
(Wildcard can only shrug in response.)
Wildcard: I’ll see you on the Voltage after Grand Rampage.
(Wildcard walks away from the camera after saying that and Robyn’s shock quickly turns into anger as she turns to the camera.)
Robyn Valentine: Get that away from my face!
(Robyn pushes the cameraman to the side as one last shot is shown of Robyn walking away in a fit of rage before Voltage fades away from backstage.)
[SCREENBAR – SYMPHONY OF THE SEAS, ONE WEEK EARLIER]
(Candice Blair is seen genuinely panicking right now, she had her match against Hikari Kanno earlier but that’s not what’s on her mind, as she wished she went off to chase Danny as soon as possible, because now she could not find him at all! She thought he would end up going to the room they rented and hide inside the closet there, but he wasn’t there. Candice was pacing around the hallways as she didn’t know what to do in this situation.)
Candice Blair: What do I do? What do I do?! I can’t find Danny either in his room nor in any of the places we’ve gone to. I’ve never been in this kind of situation before, what should I do here-OH MY GOSH, WAIT! 911! YES!
(Candice quickly pulls out her phone and dials 911 on it before someone picks up.)
911 Dispatcher: 911, what’s your emergen-
Candice Blair: I HAVE THE BIGGEST EMERGENCY IN THE WORLD! I am trying to find my very nervous bestie and I think he’s gone missing!
911 Dispatcher: Alright ma’am, when was the last time you have seen him?
Candice Blair: On Voltage today before I wrestled my match, he shouldn’t have gone far. We are inside of a…cruise ship…in the water….
911 Dispatcher: …Ma’am, I believe we can’t help you there-
Candice Blair: Yeah, yeah, I just realized 😔 You guys deal with crimes on land, sorry for the call.
(Candice immediately hung up and let out a tired sigh.)
Candice Blair: Where could he have gone off to? I can’t call 911 and I don’t really believe the Johnson detectives are actually real detectives…No! I can’t stand still and just wait for things to turn better for me, if there is nobody out there to help me, I’ll have to help out myself to save Danny!
(Candice immediately got fired up and she quickly rushed away as soon as possible. A montage was shown of Candice going around the ship trying to find Danny, she bought some things that could help her out in her search quest and she was looking through every nook and cranny of the ship. She went through the waiting line for the zip line, pushing people away to get past and simply throwing money at people that didn’t want to get off the way.)
Candice Blair: Danny! Oh, sorry, here I have some money! DANNY! Please don’t bite me little angel, have a cookie! DANNYYYYYYYYY- Wait, isn’t it super dangerous to have a zip line in the middle of a cruise ship while there is nothing below you to catch your fall except pools of water? Even though falling into water from great heights can be considered deadly?
Some Random Person in the Line: I…guess?
Candice Blair: Sorry, I learned too much grim stuff while working as an Activist, anyway-
(Candice suddenly got out a megaphone she had and got herself into the zip line, riding down on it while screaming Danny’s name into the megaphone.)
(It cut next to Candice going through various shops with a new strategy, as she got into the Hermés store and began to call out Danny like he was a dog, showing around an Inuyasha Manga Book to get his attention.)
Hermés Employee: Miss, what are you doing?
Candice Blair: Trying to find my bestie! I heard that when someone close to you suddenly disappears, you can grab something that he likes and be able to catch their attention! So that is why I grabbed this…A-nee-may thing he really loves!
Hermés Employee: I think that only works with animals…and when using food.
Candice Blair: Well, humans are still animals, right? 🤔
Hermés Employee: …Uh-
Candice Blair: Now I would love to chat, but I have to find my best friend! DANNYYYY, COME HERE I GOT YOUR FAVORITE PICTURE BOOK-
(Candice continued using this tactic until it cut to one of the pools, everyone was having a great time before suddenly, a fin seemed to pop out of the water. People started freaking out when they saw the fin of a shark in the water and everyone got out of the pool as soon as possible until finally, a person popped out and it was revealed to be Candice.)
Candice Blair: DAAAANNNYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
(Candice thought Danny might have been under the water so she got some diving goggles to see what was down there, but she grabbed the first one she could find since she was in a hurry, and she grabbed one that had a fake shark fin on it. Finally, one of the lifeguards went to approach Candice and talk to her.)
Cruise Lifeguard: Miss, sorry to interrupt you, but you have been going around the cruise ship for 2 hours screaming, what’s wrong?
Candice Blair: EVERYTHING IS WRONG! I have looked around everywhere I could for my best friend and I can’t find him at all! 😭😭😭
Cruise Lifeguard: Well, why don’t you go to the Cruise Ship Police? You can simply call them and they will arrive!
Candice Blair: Wait, really? That’s amazeballs! But I don’t know the number to call them.
Cruise Lifeguard: Oh, it’s simple. 912.
Candice Blair: Of course it is :francis:
(Candice finally calls the Cruise Ship Police, and the officers quickly arrive at the pool wondering what was wrong as Candice asks them with a tearful expression.)
Candice Blair: Hi! I would like to file a missing persons report! My bestie has disappeared! 🥺
(The officers looked at each other in response before it cut to one of the boats outside the ship. The Coast Guard was called in with a boat to check the waters as Candice got in one of them wanting to be the first person to see Danny safe.)
Coast Guard Officer: So to recap, your friend is 5’9, weighs 209 pounds, wearing various designer clothes and a…virgin?
Candice Blair: And very sweaty too, yes.
Coast Guard Officer: Well, we will see if we can find him, this boat hasn’t seen someone fall off it since the last incident-wait, what is that in the water?
(The boat shined a light in the water and it revealed a very ugly looking fedora.)
Coast Guard Officer: Is that from your friend?
Candice Blair: No, he didn’t wear a fedora.
Coast Guard Officer: If it isn’t from him then that means someone else must have fallen off the ship, they must be in great danger right now!
(The officer picked up the fedora and Candice grabbed it to inspect it for a few seconds, quickly noticing there was a tag inside stuck to the fabric with a name. Ronan. As soon as Candice saw that, she quickly threw the fedora back into the water.)
Candice Blair: Eh, someone probably lost their fedora. I’m sure that person is fine 😌
Coast Guard Officer: If that is the case, then this is what we could find around the ship, if he isn’t inside of the ship nor outside of it…then he is indeed as good as missing.
(Those last words from the officer lingered on for a few moments before the footage faded away into the present day. It went backstage where Sofia Clarke was standing in front of the camera with a very serious but worried expression on her face.)
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen, at this time I had planned an interview with Candice Blair. But she has kindly requested of me to use this time to send out a message so please, welcome her.
(Sofia took a step to the side for Candice Blair to walk in front of the camera and she received incredibly loud cheers in support. She obviously looked stressed from all that was happening but she still tried to put up a smile
Sofia Clarke: Candice, is everything alright? Have you found any leads on Danny?
Candice Blair: Thank you for asking Sofia, and sadly, no, we haven’t been able to find any leads on Danny. We weren’t able to find him inside the ship nor outside of it in the water, we looked everywhere we could and there was no sight of him at all. It is genuinely a gigantic mess and I feel very worried that I can not find Danny, he is still missing and no one can find him. I didn’t know what to do by this point so the only thing I could do was file a missing person’s report and I got to work on making a poster.
(Candice then showed to the camera a missing person poster of Danny, filled with his details, his last whereabouts and a reward if someone was able to find him, but what definitely stood.)
Candice Blair: I just want you all to listen to my plea, it really hurts me that I have to go through this kind of experience after me and Danny were able to reconcile with one another. We have known each other for a long time now and seeing our friendship break apart like that hurt me a lot. It was so painful not being able to talk to him that long and now that we finally reunited as best friends, he ends up disappearing. I don’t want to deal with that kind of pain anymore, so please, be on the lookout for him. And if there is any information you have of where he is, please call the hotline I set up at 1-888-FND-DANY. That is 1-888-363-3269. I just want my best friend back safe and sound.
(Candice finally finished her message there as on the screen the number popped up once more along with the image of the missing poster. It lingered on for a few seconds before Voltage faded away from backstage.)
(Sunday Night Voltage comes back from commercial break to show Bella Braxton standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand ready to announce the next match!)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is an Iconic Cup Block A match scheduled FOR!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( ‘All Night (ft. Trippie Redd)’ by S-X plays over the sound system of Madison Square Garden as The Electric Savage Becca Black makes her way to the ring triggering a number of cheers from the crowd. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! From London, England! Weighing in at 123 pounds. She is The Thunderbolt: BECCA BLACK!
James Peters: Quite the busy week for one half of the Electric Savages! On Saturday she faced Miku Sakai in a losing effort, and the very next night on Voltage she and Mary Atlas duked it out against the Queen’s Court!
Rich Russillo: She is growing increasingly more and more as a threat these days, the Queen’s Court best watch out, but tonight she has points in the Iconic Cup Tournament to fight for!
( ‘Everybody Knows My Name’ by Harley Poe plays next over the sound system of MSG, cheers turn to boos as Lila Vandran makes her way to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: AAAAND HER OPPONENT! From Manchester, New Hampshire! Weighing in at 103 pounds!. She is the Devout Devil; LILA VANDRAN!!!
James Peters: This will be her fourth match in Elite Answers Wrestling, having suffered losses through her first three all part of the Iconic Cup Tournament! Will she finally savor a win or will her losing streak continue?
Rich Russillo: The challenge this week is not easier than the others prior to tonight, but Lila looks ready to take on Becca so this should be a good fight.
Referee: RING THE BELL!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We GO! This match is officially underway! Both opponents are moving around each other in the circle of the ring, Lila looking to attempt a leg takedown by feinting but Becca doesn’t bite as she stares at her opponent. Becca goes to charge at Vandran who… hides behind the official?? Even he is confused and tries to get out of the way but Lila moves trying to stay behind the man but gets grabbed by Becca TAKING HER DOWN WITH A HIP TOSS!
Rich Russillo: A quick pin attempt by Becca but Lila quickly shoves her off! She is helped up only to be taken down with a snapmare from Black! Becca tries for another pin attempt once again shoved off by Vandran before engaging her into a headlock! Both feet were firmly planted and her arm tightly wrapped around the neck of Vandran!
James Peters: Lila frees herself through a few elbows to the stomach of Becca and whips her into the ropes! Lila hits the deck and Black cartwheels over her opponent! Vandran has her back facing Becca WHO DROPKICKS LILA PROJECTING ON THE APRON OUTSIDE OF THE RING! Becca rouses the crowd BEFORE SHE GRABS LILA’S HAIR AND FLIPS HER OVER THE ROPES AND INSIDE THE RING!!
Rich Russillo: Lila is on her butt now and here goes Becca with a reverse key lock which ends up being broken as Lila goes kicking her way to the nearest ropes! Nice bit of technical work by Black here but she frees her opponent once the official orders her to.
James Peters: Becca waits for Vandran to get up before going for a boot to the face BUT Lila ducks the move! She ends up behind Black AND BRINGS HER DOWN BY PULLING HER HAIR HARD! She then hops on top of Becca, flailing her fists at her like a woman possessed and the official tries to pry her off Becca! Lila responds by yelling at the official telling him to mind business!
Rich Russillo: AND BECCA GOES FOR A SPINNING HEEL KICK BEHIND LILA! THE OFFICIAL SAW IT AND GOT OUT OF DODGE BUT VANDRAN WAS TOO LATE TO REALIZE THE PAIN THAT WAS HEADING HER WAY! She drops down and rolls out onto the apron, but Becca reaches over the ropes trying to bring her back inside AND LILA DROPS TO THE FLOOR HANGING BECCA FOR A FEW SECONDS! BLACK FALLS TO HER BACK HOLDING HER THROAT AND LILA’S GRINNING.
James Peters: And now Lila tries for a pinfall attempt!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: Becca Black denies victory to Lila by lifting the shoulder up! Lila sighs as but moves up, dragging Becca along before nailing a stiff elbow to her! Black stumbles and LILA MOVES TO THE MIDDLE ROPES AND BEGINS TO CHOKE HER!! THE OFFICIAL COUNTS!!
Referee: ONE! TWO!! THREE!! FOUR!!!!
Rich Russillo: And Vandran lets go of Black just before she gets disqualified and then foul-mouths the crowd which follows an instant chorus of boos throughout Madison Square Garden! Lila grabs hold of Becca and whips her to the ropes! She goes for a roundhouse kick… BUT BECCA SLIDES UNDER IT! SHE THEN TAKES DOWN LILA WITH A QUICK SNAPMARE TOO!!
James Peters: Becca is now on the offense as she grabs a hold of Lila’s hair before pulling it into a RIPCORD MOTION AND A CLOTHESLINE!! DOWN GOES VANDRAN, but she gets back up quickly, ONLY TO BE TAKEN DOWN WITH A LARIAT! Vandran on her back, but she rolls to her feet again grunting and charging at Black… WHO TAKES HER DOWN ONCE MORE WITH A DROPKICK!!
Rich Russillo: Lila Vandran doesn’t seem to want to be kept down by those moves and she is getting up to her feet moving inches from Becca’s face! AND BECCA RESPONDS WITH A HEADBUTT FOLLOWED WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!!! Vandran gets up a little slower this time AND BECCA MOVES IN FOR AN STO!!! THE LEG SWING AND THE SLAM LAND!! Black moves back to a vertical base looking down at her opponent who is moving slowly back to her own feet. Becca is waiting for the perfect moment to perform her next move.
Persephone: GET A DAMN MOVE ON ALREADY!!!
James Peters: AND YOU HAVE YOUR REPLY FROM BECCA BLACK IN THE FORM OF A CUT-NO! VANDRAN BLOCKED IT! She pushes herself away from Becca, going into the ropes and coming back running towards Black ONLY TO GET TAKEN DOWN WITH A HIGH KNEE! Perfectly executed by Black who is in control of this match now! A leg drop keeps Vandran on the mat before Becca goes to a knee and begins to throw some fists and elbows down on her opponent! BUT LILA BEGINS TO FIGHT BACK! SHE FLIPS HERSELF NOW ATOP OF BLACK, THROWING SOME FISTS AT HER OPPONENT BEFORE MOVING HER UP AND WHIPPING HER TO THE ROPES! Becca ducks a boot from Vandran, quickly stops SPINS, AND THROWS A PELE KICK TO LILA! BUT LILA MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND WAIT FOR BECCA TO GET UP BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN A BOOT TO THE FACE!
Rich Russillo: Lila flips INTO A STANDING MOONSAULT right atop of Becca, what a move by this young lady who then begins to throw hard and fast hits to Becca who tries her best to block the strikes coming her way. The official ends up breaking the attack much to the annoyment of Vandran who gets up not before throwing one last kick in! The official warns her but she doesn’t seem to care.
James Peters: Vandran showing a bit of a mean streak with that last shot, the official showed leniency on this one.
Persephone: Oh come on it’s a kick to the ribs, not a punt to the nuts!
James Peters: Err… Anyway, Vandran goes to the ropes quickly SPRINGBOARDING HERSELF OVER TO BECCA WITH A LEG DROP LANDING SQUARE ON HER OPPONENT! She then grabs a handful of her opponent, Becca trying to get her off but Vandran drags her to a corner BEFORE DRIVING A KNEE TO HER FACE! THEN A SECOND! A THIRD!! GOSH LILA IS GOING TO DOWN ON BECCA BLACK WHO ENDS UP LAID ON THE MAT! Vandran goes topside wanting to add more to this series of offensive moves AND SHE GOES FOR THE TOP ROPE STOMP THAT LANDS!! BECCA IS HOLDING HER STOMACH THE PAIN MUST BE MASSIVE AS VANDRAN GOES FOR THE COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: No one wins a match like that! Green move rookie!!
Rich Russillo: Vandran does what Vandran wants it seems as she moves up to her feet quickly following the failed pinfall attempt right after the top rope foot stomp! She grabs Black by the head locking an arm around Becca’s neck BEFORE GOING FOR A NECKBREAKER!! She drives in an elbow drop right after this before moving Becca back up and whips her to the ropes BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN WITH A SPINNING SPINBUSTEEEEEERR!!! Big power move from the petite woman and she doesn’t seem like she’s done!
James Peters: She tries for a cover!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
James Peters: Becca denies her by kicking out! Vandran is grunting, a tad annoyed by this before moving up and dragging Black along with her. Irish whip with FORCE into a corner SO HARD BLACK SMACKS THE CORNER THEN LANDS ON THE MAT FACE FIRST! The aggressivity in Lila is surprising as she is moving Becca back up and whips her into the ropes. She hoists her up! POP-UP FACEBUSTEEEEER!!!!
Rich Russillo: Another opportunity for a cover, but instead, what is she doing? Grabbing at the legs of Becca, SHE IS GOING FOR AN INVERTED SHARPSHOOTER!! SHE HAS IT APPLIED TIGHTLY BUT BECCA WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO ROPES THAT SHE COULD LATCH ONTO THEM! Good ring awareness by Becca Black as the official orders Lila to break off the move! Good thinking by Vandran all things considered but had she positioned herself in the center of the ring who knows she may have ended up winning this!
James Peters: With that said folks we have to take a quick break for sponsors, don’t go anywhere we will be back right after this!
( Advertisement for Grand Rampage, featuring the epic confrontation between Scott and Interwire Champion Andre Walker, plays sponsored by Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. )
James Peters: Ladies and Gentlemen we are back on Voltage! We are in the middle of an Iconic Cup Block A match between Becca Black and Lila Vandran!
Rich Russillo: Becca Black managed to get back into this fight during the commercials but she just now gets a knee to the stomach to put the breaks on what could’ve been a victory comeback! Becca to her knees, a lock full of hair in the hands of Lila who foul mouths her BUT SHE GETS PUNCHED IN THE GUT BY BECCA! AND AGAIN! Vandran let go of Black’s hair to throw an overhead strike on the back of Becca causing separation between the two!
James Peters: Vandran going back to Black pushing her to a corner before backing off and ready to go for a clothesline BUT BECCA HAD THE SAME IDEA! CHARGING AT Vandran WHO’S SURPRISED AND GETS TAKEN DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE FROM ONE-HALF OF ELECTRIC SAVAGES!!! Both are moving up to a vertical base, they lock up but Vandran throws a rake to the eye, BLOCKED BY BECCA WHO THROWS A PUNCH!
Rich Russillo: Now BOTH ladies are throwing punches at one another going increasingly faster and harder! Both suddenly dash to the ropes! They duck each other’s attempt to hit the other as they then bounce into the ropes AND BOTH DOES DOWN WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!! The fans love this and are asking for more as both ladies are slowly getting back to their feet!
James Peters: Becca is on her knees, Vandran is facing her as both are throwing verbal smacks at each other! Becca goes for a headbutt! Vandran’s reeling, grunts, AND GOES FOR A HEADBUTT OF HER OWN!! AND NOW BOTH OF THEM ARE THROWING HASTY STRIKES AT EACH OTHER AGAIN AS THEY BOTH MOVE UP TO THEIR FEET! THIS IS GETTING INTENSE REAL FAST!
Rich Russillo: No one is going to argue about the desire to fight between these two ladies for sure!
Persephone: I can! I sure as fuck can but it’s a waste of my time to do it with the likes of you Rich.
James Peters: This is a hotly contested affair between these two women. It’s hard to tell who is going to emerge as the victor with the offense both of them provided! Both had so far a few solid chances to end it for their own benefit but to no avail as the opponent always kicked out! This is a matter of who wants it more at this point!
Rich Russillo: What will these ladies have to do in order to emerge on top tonight and score points for the Iconic Cup? Lila is looking at her opponent, throwing an elbow at her which is blocked by Becca who then proceeds to throw Vandran to the ropes! Becca throws a Superkick! But Lila ducks it with a sideswipe QUICKLY FOLLOWED WITH A REVERSE ROUNDHOUSE KICK! SHE CALLS HER VARIATION THE SMITE AND IT LANDED PERFECTLY!! Becca is in trouble now!
James Peters: Indeed she is and Lila senses the opportunity! She is standing right behind Black with a malicious smile on her face she can sense she has a shot! She is rubbing her hands together, buying her time waiting for the right moment to strike as Becca rolls onto her stomach… BEFORE LILA LOCKS IN ‘MARTYRDOM’! THE PERUVIAN NECKTIE IS LOCKED IN AS BECCA IS SCREAMING FOR MERCY AT THIS POINT! SHE IS TRYING HER BEST NOT TO SUBMIT BUT THE PAIN IS TOO MUCH TO BEAR RIGHT NOW! I DON’T THINK SHE CAN TAKE IT AND LILA KNOWS IT… AS BECCA TAPS! BECCA TAPS OUT! WE HAVE A WINNER HERE TONIGHT!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( ‘Everybody Knows My Name’ by Harley Poe plays next over the sound system of Madison Square Garden as Lila Vandran is up to her feet and getting her lead arm raised in victory by the official. She almost can’t believe she got the victory, but she did, and she couldn’t be happier about it. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies And Gentlemen The Winner Of This Bout: LILA VANDRAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: What a match folks! A great back and forth contest between two gifted athletes but there can be only one winner and tonight the honors go to Lila Vandran! Congratulations on her first EAW career victory!
Rich Russillo: Becca definitely did not expect to be submitted here tonight, but it happened, and now Lila is the one that stands tall. I share the same sentiment as James does in congratulating her on her victory here tonight! Let’s see if she can keep up the momentum!
(Lila Vandran continues to celebrate her victory, and from there Voltage fades from ringside.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for Moon Knight, the BEST Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ show which will sadly be ending this Wednesday.)
(Voltage fades to the commentary table where James Peters, Rich Russillo and Persephone are seen. James and Rich both have concerned looks on their faces, but Persephone can’t seem to care less about what it is they have to say.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, during the commercial break I received some very unfortunate news. I’m getting word that something is going on backstage that has to do with the Queen’s Court and Becca Black! As we all know Becca just lost to Lila Vandran before the break, and of course Becca Black was helping her friend Mary S. Atlas and Diamond Dixon fend off the Queen’s Court these past weeks.
Persephone: And why do we care? Unless that “something” is Rex McAllister preparing to walk out and that somehow involves the Queen’s Court and Becca Black, I don’t see why we should be giving this any attention.
Rich Russillo: After the past few weeks, if this involves Becca Black on her own and the Queen’s Court, this could only really mean one thing in my eyes! don’t think we should be wasting anymore time, this sounds really bad!
(The camera fades to the backstage area, and what’s shown is Becca Black in the middle of an altercation with the Queen’s Court, which had seemingly escalated into a fight. Becca Black is trying to fight against all three members as she throws a punch at Madison Kaline. Becca tries to take Cleopatra down, but Amber Keys is able to pull Becca off of her, and when Becca tries to hit her, Amber is able to duck under it before sending Becca into the wall. Becca Black is clearly outnumbered here, and fighting off the Queen’s Court at this point is basically impossible, which is why despite Becca Black’s efforts, she is unable to stop them. Madison kicks Becca in the stomach, and begins to repeatedly slam Becca’s head against the wall.)
(Becca Black drops down onto the ground at this point, having just competed in a match, and Cleopatra grabs one of the chairs that was present in the area before slamming it down on top of Becca. Cleopatra repeatedly hits Becca with the chair, before finally Amber Keys and Madison Kaline pull Becca up, dragging her towards where some of the metal equipment boxes were located. Cleopatra begins to set the chair around Becca Black’s neck, and together, the three women lift Becca up before powerbombing her into the crates.)
(By this point a bunch of officials come running in, but at the same time so does Mary S. Atlas. Mary seems to have just seen the very end of the Queen’s Court’s attack, but she immediately comes running in to try the attack the three. The officials stop this immediately, getting in between Mary and the Queen’s Court to prevent another fight like what was just seen moments ago. Mary S. Atlas can be heard yelling at the Queen’s Court members, but Amber, Madison and Cleopatra can all be seen with grins on their faces. The three slowly begin to back off, doing all they feel like they’ve needed to, and clearly sending a message. At this point Mary rushes over to Becca as the officials help her out from the crates. From there, the camera fades back to the commentary table.)
James Peters: Well, there you have it. Becca Black seems to have unfortunately been assaulted by the Queen’s Court, and after what happened there at the end, I’m not so sure she’ll even be able to make it to Grand Rampage.
Rich Russillo: It really is unfortunate, but at this point what can you say? The Queen’s Court did what they did, and it looks like Mary and Diamond are outnumbered now.
Persephone: :mjlol2: LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!! WHAT IS BECCA MADE OUT OF, GLASS???
James Peters: Cut that out! Wrestling has always been very dangerous, and after the match Becca had she was just brutally attacked by three legends! What happened at the end there, that was something not many people could easily recover from!
Rich Russillo: That’s true, and at this point I just can’t help but wonder what’s next. Are Diamond and Mary going to have to face those three on their own?? There’s just no way Becca can still compete, I’ll be surprised if we see her again even after Grand Rampage!
James Peters: Well as we head to a commercial break, I think all we can do right now is hope Becca Black is okay.
Persephone: We? I hope that’s the last time we ever see her around here personally.
(Voltage fades to a commercial break.)

[ SCREEN BAR – EARLIER TODAY ]
(The scene opens up outside of MSG. It’s a nice Spring day, with lovely weather, and the EAW equipment trucks can be seen sitting in the back parking lot. They are always a sight to see, because they’re adorned with the faces of popular Elitists and fans seem to enjoy taking pictures of them, or with them. Since Voltage is set to go on the air soon, the trucks have been roped off, especially the one that is full of the production equipment. The behind-the-scenes workers that make sure each television broadcast goes off without a hitch are working inside, getting ready for the show to start. It’s very unusual that they’re interrupted, but today there is a knock on their door. A frown crosses the face of Alize Templeton, who works as an assistant to HRDO and oversees the production during live shows. She excuses herself from the group of people she was speaking to and heads for the door. Once Alize opens it, she looks down and screams.)
Alize Templeton: DREW! IT’S DREW! HE’S BEEN ATTACKED!
(Alize flies down the steps and rushes to the side of Drew Barrett, one of the video editors. He appears to have been beaten badly and there is blood pooling around his head. Several members of the crew have come rushing outside as well, and are screaming for security and the medical team.)
???: LOOK! THERE’S SOMEONE RUNNING AWAY!!!
(That’s the voice of Stefanie Gavras and she’s pointing at a hooded figure who is running from the screen. That person has a baseball bat in one hand and a package in the other hand.)
Alize Templeton: I BET THAT’S THE GUY WHO ATTACKED FITZGERALD! CAN SOMEONE STOP HIM?!?!
(The normally cool, calm, and collected Alize sounds extremely frantic. Several security guards had come running onto the scene, but a few quickly change their direction and give chase. Paramedics have also arrived and so have HROD and Captain Charisma.)
HRDO: What makes you think that’s the same guy who attacked Fitzgerald???
Alize Templeton: Because Drew was carrying the footage that reveals who the attacker is! He had gone to meet someone earlier at a Starbucks to pick it up and he was coming back! I know he got it! We all saw someone running away carrying a package!
(Drew is obviously unconscious and can’t talk for himself, obviously. Everyone around is pretty upset. HRDO and Captain Charisma pull Alize to the side to get the full story as she knows it, while security backs up every one else up so the paramedics have room to work.)
(That scene fades out.)
(Voltage returns to live footage and cuts to the inside of the ring. An extremely upset Jay Jerry Johnson, who had come out during the break, is leaning against the ropes and holding a microphone. Like everyone else, he has just seen that particular piece of footage for the first time, and it’s a pretty bitter pill for him to swallow knowing that the surveillance footage that would reveal who attacked Fitzgerald is now in the perpetrator’s hands.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I’m sick.
(The crowd doesn’t really know how to react to this situation. Part of them want to sympathize with Triple J, because what happened to his friend really does suck. But for the most part, they still think Triple J is kind of a dick.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: This week I was supposed to learn who attacked my friend and who’s ass I had to kick, and now? I may never know. Whoever did this shit now has the proof in their hands and has a great chance at getting away with this scot free. It’s sickening. I’m sick. I don’t know what else to say about this situation. My mind should be on the Grand Rampage match and headlining my first ever Pain for Pride, but instead I’m torn up over this bullshit and honestly, I feel powerless. I don’t like that. I really, really don’t like it, and while I don’t want to stand here and make excuses, this whole situation has definitely affected my performances inside the ring. The New Era Classic was mine to win. Out of everyone in the tournament, I had the most experience and the most to gain. I should be looking forward to the semi-finals, but instead that annoying little cheerleader bitch won our block and is going to be competing instead of me. Okay. Grand Rampage. Even bigger opportunity. The perfect time for yours truly to rebound and get an even bigger Pain for Pride match! :francis: I guess not. Instead of devoting all my resources to preparing for my biggest opportunity to date, I have to look over my shoulder and make sure whoever this freak is doesn’t come after me next.
(A look of disgust crosses Triple J’s face as he shakes his head.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Thank Gawd for Lucas. At least I know he has my back and later on tonight, J&J Supremacy are going to pick up their first ever win as a team.
(On that note, “Ready to Die” by The Notorious B.I.G. begins to play and Lucas Johnson walks out. That’s when the Voltage commentators begin to talk once again.)
Persephone: Someone please put a gun in my mouth and fucking shoot me. Just when you think this part of the show couldn’t get any worse, this Down Syndrome looking motherfucker comes out to the ring.
James Peters & Rich Russillo: :whoa:
Rich Russillo: Wow! That was extremely harsh.
James Peters: And completely unnecessary.
Persephone: I said what I fucking said. I don’t feel a single ounce of remorse about it either because I am fucking exhausted. Not a single person gives a single shit about anything going on with these two and they sure as fucking hell do not give a fuck about who attacked Fitzgerald. These two losers are going to get fucking destroyed by Myles and Brian later on tonight.
(Rich and James are speechless but luckily, Lucas is in the ring and he has a microphone.)
Lucas Johnson: Man, tough break earlier tonight. I know you had your heart set on seeing that footage and honestly, you deserve some type of closure over this situation. It’s clearly gotten to you and that’s when I have gone out of my way to try and help you. So far, we haven’t found much of anything and you know something, Jay? I think that might be for the best :lupe:.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Huh? What do you mean?
Lucas Johnson: Whoever attacked Fitzgerald hasn’t really bothered anyone else until today and that’s because they were close to getting caught. Maybe they only had an issue with Fitz and settled the score, and now they want to be left alone. Look man, I’m just saying that if they were going to come after you, then maybe they would have done it sooner…
Jay Jerry Johnson: You really believe that? I find it hard to believe that anyone could have some kind of vendetta against Fitz. He’s never really done anything here other than watch my back. He’s a good guy. A stand-up kind of guy. In fact, I’m pretty sure he was only attacked because of me.
(Triple J looks a little upset about that.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I’m not sure who has that kind of animosity towards me, but I just can’t help but shake this feeling that I was the true target. Fitz was doing his job when he got taken out, and ever since then, I’ve had to have eyes in the back of my head.
Lucas Johnson: Maybe you’re right. Maybe you were the target. You’ve said and done a lot of shitty things since you’ve been here, but haven’t we all? You don’t have to look offended, my friend. You are not the first Elitist to get under the skin of other people and you certainly won’t be the last. I know we’ve narrowed down the suspect list. We know this person is a white male, with brown or reddish hair, and is around six feet tall. That could describe a few people…
(Triple J frowns as he takes a good look at Lucas.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: It describes you.
(The audience gasps, but Lucas seems unphased by the accusation.)
Lucas Johnson: I suppose it does and come to think about it, you never tried to question me on my whereabouts that night. You never stopped to think about the history the two of us have had this season but for whatever reason your emotions led you to asking me, of all people, to watch your back. I find that interesting. After all, why would you trust me? The two of us had barely ever had a conversation that wasn’t a promo battle until that day we were both meeting with Captain Charisma, and you were a wreck. I’m not criticizing you for reaching out, by the way, but you probably should have stopped to think about the situation as a whole before you put your trust into someone you hardly knew. I’ll be honest, I’ve been bored as fuck lately, and losing against Donovan back at Shock Value really made me feel a way. I’m never going to be taken seriously as an Elitist, so I came to the conclusion that I was going to have to force the issue. The reason why you aren’t seeing the footage that reveals who attacked Fitzgerald is because there’s no need for you to see it. I fucking did it, Jay. The attacker was me.
(Triple J is stunned. The last person he expected it to be was Lucas.)
Persephone: 🍿
Rich Russillo: :damn:
James Peters: :lupe:
Jay Jerry Johnson: You? But why? Why the fuck were you after me?
Lucas Johnson: Because like I said you fucking illiterate retard, I was bored.
Rich Russillo: LUCAS JUST TACKLED JAY TO THE GROUND AND IS HAMMERING AWAY ON HIM! I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS THOUGHT IT WAS LUCAS JOHNSON WHO TOOK OUT FITZGERALD!
Persephone: WELL CONSIDERING WE ALL WATCHED LUCAS DIE IN A POWER GRID BACK AT SHOCK VALUE, I DIDN’T SEE THIS COMING EITHER! I’M NOT MAD ABOUT IT, THOUGH! DUDE REALLY JUST SAID FUCK YOU! LUCAS IS BEATING THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF JAY JERRY JOHNSON RIGHT NOW!
James Peters: THESE TWO ARE PARTNERS LATER ON TONIGHT? HOW WILL THEY COEXIST NOW?!
Rich Russillo: LUCAS HAS GOTTEN TRIPLE J TO HIS FEET AND HE THROWS HIM INTO THE ROPES! ‘THE LIGHTSWITCH’! CLAYMORE KICK TAKES OUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND THIS CROWD IS BOOING LUCAS JOHNSON!
(Lucas stands over Jay’s fallen body and looks down at him with a smirk. The crowd is shook over this turn of events. “Ready to Die” begins to blast over the PA System and after spitting on Jay Jerry Johnson, Lucas heads out of the ring.)
(Voltage fades into a promotional ad for Grand Rampage, where even Ronan Malosi may surprise you.)
(The camera cuts back to ringside where Bella Braxton is standing and smiling in the center of the ring, ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: This next contest is a NEW ERA CLASSIC match and it is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Martyr” by Yasuharu Takanashi/YAIBA starts playing throughout the arena as Cloud Stryfe makes his entrance to cheers from the crowd. He has a smile, but also a determined look on his face, given the match stakes.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Residing in Toronto, Canada! Weighing 195 Pounds! Here is “THE ETERNAL ” CLOUD STRYFE!
James Peters: Dynasty’s Cloud Stryfe is making his way to the ring for the last match of the qualifying round of the New Era Classic.
Persephone: Why does it matter? Head in the Clouds sucks and will never reach the level that my Sexy Rexy possesses. I think we should skip this match.
Rich Russillo: Cloud has had an amazing showing in his block of the New Era, but right now he finds himself walking a tightrope between two distinct possibilities. Unfortunately, the only way he stands a chance of advancing to Grand Rampage at this point is by winning via submission!
James Peters: Cloud Stryfe has had a very strong showing in the New Era Classic. I think this young Elitist has what it takes to pull out the victory when it counts and boy does it need to count tonight.
(Cloud enters the ring and starts mentally preparing himself for this upcoming match as his entrance music fades away. Seconds later, the cheers start up again when “Ponytail to Shushu” by AKB48 starts playing as Ayu Megumi enters the arena and heads to the ring with a huge smile on her face.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing her opponent. From Okinawa, Japan. Weighing 115 pounds. Here is “THE AMAZING GIRL” AYU MEGUMI!
James Peters: This young lady is universally loved by the fans in attendance and fans around the world for her fighting spirit and her constant positivity towards life. This young woman thought she was completely out of the running in her block, but one big victory could keep her hopes alive.
Persephone: Her hopes might be alive, but seeing her come to the ring all happy and smiley is killing my brain cells. When will all this torture end?
Rich Russillo: Ayu Megumi has had a rocky time in her block, but has really been kicking it into high gear during the second half of the matches. She may not be winning her block, but she can sure put on a great showing!
(Ayu enters the ring and takes her corner as her music fades off. The referee checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Match is underway and here we go. Final match of Block C in the New Era cup. Which participant will be victorious? Ayu Megumi or Cloud Stryfe. We’re about to find out as the two lock up in the center of the ring and the stronger Stryfe takes the early advantage. Side headlock applied and Ayu is trying to get free.
Rich Russillo: The name of the game in this match is win. Win and your chances stay alive to advance or lose and you are eliminated. They are both no doubt going to bring their best to this match like Cloud is now with that headlock.
Persephone: Sheesh. If this is their best, it would be a disaster to see their worst. Can we replace these two with my Rexy. I know he wants to come back and see me.
James Peters: Yeah and serve you with a restraining order to keep you away from him.
Persephone: Unless you want to go to Grand Rampage with your nose detached from your face, I suggest you shut your damn mouth.
James Peters: Back to the match. Stryfe has the headlock on tight before he whips Ayu to the ropes, BUT AYU HANGS ON! STRYFE GOES FOR A CHOP, BUT AYU AVOIDS IT BY FLIPPING BACKWARDS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HANGING ON TO THE APRON!
Rich Russillo: Ayu fires back with a forearm to the face. AYU SPRINGBOARDS BACK INTO THE RING AND TAKES CLOUD DOWN WITH A HEADSCISSORS! CLOUD SENT FOR A RIDE!
Persephone: It isn’t good enough of a ride because they are both still here. Better yet, they can stay and I will take the rest of Voltage off and fantasize about my Sexy Rexy in my hotel room.
James Peters: We need some air out here for Persephone. She’s starting to get delusional again. But right now Cloud is back to his feet after that headscissors. AYU GOING FOR A DROPKICK BUT CLOUD AVOIDS IT AT THE LAST SECOND AND AYU LANDS CHEST FIRST ON THE MAT!
Rich Russillo: CLOUD READY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE WITH AN OKLAHOMA ROLL, BUT AYU ROLLS THROUGH BEFORE A COUNT CAN START! Ayu back to her feet, but so is Cloud and he grabs her ankles and takes her back down and drags her to the corner.
Persephone: This is so boring! Sometimes commentating can be a pain in the ass, especially with matches like this. Somebody just get hit with a steel chair or something. At least try to make this match entertaining.
James Peters: Cloud gets into position and falls back. SLINGSHOT ON THE WAY, BUT AYU CATCHES HERSELF AND JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! CLOUD TURNS AROUND AND AYU CATCHES HIM WITH A CROSSBODY OFF THE SECOND ROPE!
Rich Russillo: AYU TAKES CLOUD DOWN BUT HE ROLLS THROUGH AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
TTHHHHHRRRR-
Persephone: Of course it wouldn’t be a Voltage match unless someone kicked out. They do this on purpose.
James Peters: Cloud quickly back up to his feet and Ayu rolls over to her stomach AND CLOUD DROPS THE KNEE ACROSS THE SPINE STOPPING AYU IN HER TRACKS!! JUST LIKE THAT CLOUD TAKES CONTROL OF THE MATCH!
Rich Russillo: Ayu halted and Cloud grabs her arm before she could move. Is he going for an armbar? NO! HE KEEPS HOLD OF THE ARM AND STARTS DELIVERING KICK AFTER KICK TO THE MIDSECTION OF AYU!
Persephone: Still bored. He can keep kicking her until he’s blue in the face, which I hope happens, but it won’t win him the match. Now he lets go of her arm and delivers a boot to the small of the back. Yawn.
James Peters: Cloud brings Ayu back to her feet and whips her to the corner BEFORE HITTING HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE UNDER THE CHIN! AYU IS NOT MOVING IN THE CORNER AND NOW CLOUD IS READY TO GO TO TOWN!
Rich Russillo: He gets Ayu positioned in the corner the way he wants AND HE IS NOW UNLOADING ON AYU! LOOK AT ALL THE CHOPS AND PUNCHES IN THE CORNER! HE HAS TURNED AYU MEGUMI INTO A PUNCHING BAG!
James Peters: AYU TRYING HER BEST TO BLOCK BUT SOME OF THOSE PUNCHES ARE STILL FINDING THEIR MARK! The referee tells Cloud to get her out of the corner and he chooses to back off. CLOUD RUNS FULL SPEED BACK INTO THE CORNER! HIGH KNEE ON THE WAY–
Persephone: And she moves, what a surprise. Nothing new from these losers. His knee met the top turnbuckle, what an idiot.
James Peters: Ayu takes a chance and climbs on the back of Cloud. CRUCIFIX POSITION APPLIED AND AYU GOES FOR A ROLL UP… BUT CLOUD KEEPS HIS GROUND AND DROPS AYU WITH A SAMOAN DROP!
Rich Russillo: Cloud drags Ayu away from the corner and he climbs up to the second turnbuckle. Ayu still hasn’t moved AND HE JUMPS AND CATCHES AYU ACROSS THE CHEST WITH THE DIVING ELBOW FROM THE SECOND ROPE! ELBOW RIGHT ON THE MONEY AS CLOUD HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
TTHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEE–
Persephone: For the love of Rexy, she kicks out again. Stupid bitch just needs to stay down so this match can end. Stop torturing me!!
James Peters: Cloud brings Ayu back to her feet and whips her to the ropes. CLOUD GOES FOR AN ELBOW STRIKE OFF THE REBOUND BUT AYU DUCKS THE ELBOW AND HITS THE OTHER SIDE–
Rich Russillo: BUT SHE DIDN’T DUCK THAT ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT CAUGHT HER RIGHT IN THE FACE. AYU IS DOWN AND SHE MIGHT BE DAZED OR EVEN OUT!
Persephone: Of course a girl who is all smiles and all positivity like that has got to be a little dazed in the brain. She’s not right.
Rich Russillo: Cloud is still in control and he goes to bring Ayu back to her feet and SHE WAS PLAYING POSSUM! SHE HAS CLOUD IN AN INSIDE CRADLE! PINFALL!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOO!!
TTTHHHHHHRRRRRRR-
James Peters: CLOUD KICKS OUT, BUT AYU ABOUT SNUCK AWAY WITH THE VICTORY! VERY SMART BY AYU MEGUMI! Both competitors are back to their feet, but Ayu was a little quicker. AYU WENT FOR AN ENZUIGIRI, BUT CLOUD DUCKS THE LEG AND GRABS THAT LEG!
Rich Russillo: ANKLE LOCK! CLOUD STRYFE HAS AN ANKLE LOCK ON AYU MEGUMI! ANKLE LOCK ON TIGHT BUT AYU IS STILL STRONG ENOUGH TO QUICKLY MAKE IT TO THE ROPES, FORCING CLOUD TO BREAK THE HOLD!
Persephone: Submissions this early in the match wouldn’t work. Then again submissions almost never work around here. People rarely tap out and choose to pass out. Dumbasses should just kill each other and skip all the fancy stuff. That would keep me entertained.
James Peters: Not every match has to be a bloodbath, Seph.
Persephone: I’m going to ignore you saying that. Because this place would be more bearable if there were more bloodbaths around here.
James Peters: Sure. Ayu creates separation by rolling out onto the apron. Ayu gets back to her feet and she tackles Cloud through the ropes when he runs in to attack. AYU JUMPS OVER THE ROPES AND GRABS CLOUD ON THE WAY IN! SUNSET FLIP! AYU GOING FOR ANOTHER ROLLUP BUT CLOUD ROLLS THROUGH!
Rich Russillo: Ayu is still seated AND CLOUD CATCHES HER IN THE FACE WITH A LOW DROPKICK! AYU SENT HEAD OVER HEELS AND SHE FINDS HERSELF BACK ON THE APRON! THIS TIME CLOUD DOESN’T GIVE HER A MOMENT AND HE HITS A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK SENDING AYU TO THE FLOOR!
Persephone: Keep those dumbasses away from our area. I can only stand the smell of these losers so much before I want to throw up.
James Peters: Ayu down on the floor and Cloud looks ready to fly. High flying is definitely not the main forte of Cloud’s arsenal, but he can pull that out on occasion and he is about to now. CLOUD VAULTS HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO AYU WITH THAT LANCHING CROSSBODY! PESCADO CONNECTS!
Persephone: Pescado? Is it really called that? Because if it is, you basically just said he hit her with a fish because Pescado is Spanish for fish. Hehehe. That’s kind of funny because that dumb bitch got hit with a fish. Whoever came up with that move name needs to be beaten.
Rich Russillo: It can be called whatever it wants especially if it’s effective. Like it was now. Cloud back to his feet and he picks Ayu up AND SLAMS HER ON THE FLOOR! FOR THIS MATCH, BOTH COMPETITORS ARE GOING TO NEED TO PULL OUT ALL STOPS IN ORDER TO WIN!
James Peters: Cloud brings Ayu back to her feet once again and he looks to whip Ayu, BUT AYU REVERSES AND WHIPS CLOUD TOWARDS THE BARRICADE!
Rich Russillo: CLOUD LANDS BACK FIRST AGAINST THE BARRICADE AND AYU COMES IN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! CLOUD FALLS TO THE FLOOR! AYU BACKS UP AND SHE RUNS FULL SPEED TO CLOUD!
James Peters: CANNONBALL BY AYU MEGUMI AGAINST THE BARRICADE! CLOUD HAD NO WAY TO BLOCK SO THERE’S NO DOUBT THAT HURT! Ayu brings Cloud back up to his feet and rolls him back to the ring. Ayu hits the ropes and handsprings over. STANDING HANDSPRING CORKSCREW MOONSAULT RIGHT ON THE MONEY! AYU HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
TTTHHHHHRRRREEEE–
Rich Russillo: CLOUD KICKS OUT! This has been an amazing matchup so far between these two and right now it is The Amazing Girl in firm control of this match.
Persephone: Does she really call herself the Amazing Girl? Good grief. Do you know what’s amazing? How Miss Sweet and Plenty hasn’t got her ass kicked more than she has in her career. Somebody needs to knock her teeth out… and his… and all the other losers in the locker room.
James Peters: Ayu now climbs to the second rope and waits for Cloud to get back to his feet. While Cloud thrives in ground fighting and submissions. Miss Megumi thrives in kicking and high flying. Cloud makes it back to his feet and AYU JUMPS! EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM THE SECOND ROPE TAKES CLOUD BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!
Rich Russillo: Cloud is rocked and Ayu is gearing up to hopefully finish the match right here. She brings her right foot back as she calls for Cloud to get back up. Cloud is dazed but he slowly rises to his feet.
Persephone: That dazed look is nothing new for him. From the time he’s competed on Voltage, he always has a look of confusion… more like stupidity. Now he has no idea that he’s about to get kicked into the fifth row.
James Peters: We rarely agree with each other, but I think you’re right. Cloud is back up and AYU GOES FOR THE RYO NO IKARI! SUPERKICK ON THE WAY–
Rich Russillo: BUT CLOUD DUCKS IT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! BUT HE DIDN’T DUCK THE ROUNDHOUSE HOUSE THAT CAME FROM THE OTHER SIDE! THAT KICKED STAGGERED HIM BUT IT DIDN’T KNOCK HIM DOWN!
Persephone: BAHAHAHAHA! What an idiot! You should always expect the unexpected. After that kick, he won’t be expecting much because what is left of his measly brain has rocked around his empty head.
James Peters: AYU GRABS CLOUD BY THE HEAD AND JUMPS IN THE AIR BEFORE PLANTING CLOUD WITH A DDT! CLOUD JUST GOT SPIKED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! AYU GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
TTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEE!
Rich Russillo: HOLY CRAP! CLOUD KICKED OUT AFTER THAT AMAZING COMBINATION ATTACK…NO PUN INTENDED OF COURSE! AYU IS SHOCKED THAT HER FLURRY OF OFFENSE DIDN’T FINISH HIM OFF! BUT SHE CONTINUES TO FIGHT ON!
Persephone: First off, don’t ever do that again because it makes you sound like a total idiot. Second, of course that wouldn’t get the job done. All these dumb fucks are “resilient” and “have hearts of fighters” and all that other bullshit.
Rich Russillo: Glad you recognize the fighting spirit they have.
James Peters: Ayu brings Cloud back to his and is firing forearms right into his face, BUT CLOUD IS COMING BACK WITH FOREARMS OF HIS OWN! CLOUD IS TRYING TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS OUT AFTER THAT KICK FROM EARLIER!
Rich Russillo: Both competitors are at a standoff right now just throwing haymakers at each other trying to get the advantage. The bigger Cloud Stryfe shoves Ayu against the ropes and tries to fire off a back elbow, BUT AYU AVOIDS IT!
Persephone: Now here’s the part of the show where they try to one-up each other and get the advantage. Blah blah. These two just need to wrap it up so we can finish this show up faster.
James Peters: Ayu hits the ropes on the far side and AYU COMES BACK AND TAKES CLOUD DOWN WITH A SUPERMAN STYLE PUNCH! CLOUD IS ROCKED!! AYU HITS THE ROPES AGAIN AND HITS CLOUD IN THE JAW WITH A BICYCLE KICK!
Rich Russillo: AYU WITH ANOTHER KICK TO THE GUT DOUBLING HIM OVER AND NOW SHE’S SITTING ON HIS BACK! AYU LOOKS TO BE SETTING UP FOR THE PHANTOM STRIKE! HER VERSION OF THE PANAMA SUNRISE ON THE WAY–
Persephone: Of course it doesn’t work! He grabbed onto her legs and kept his balance with the last bit of his brain cells. Dumb bitch is trying to get free–
James Peters: HE JUST SAT DOWN ON HER! TAKING HER DOWN WITH A MODIFIED PILEDRIVER! HE GOES FOR THE COVER!!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
TTTHHHHHHHHRREEEEEE–
James Peters: AYU MEGUMI KICKS OUT BARELY BEFORE THE THREE!! HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CLOSE!! THESE TWO COMPETITORS ARE PUTTING ALL ON THE LINE IN THIS MATCH!
Rich Russillo: STRYFE IS BACK UP AND HE WAITS FOR AYU TO GET INTO POSITION! SHE ROLLS OVER AND IS BACK TO HER KNEES! CLOUD IS READY AND HE GOES FOR THE AVADA KEDAVRA SUPERKICK, BUT AYU ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND
James Peters: AYU QUICKLY ROLLS BACK TO HER FEET AND COMES FROM BEHIND CLOUD AND APPLIES THE FULL NELSON! NOW SHE IS TRYING TO MUSTER UP ALL THE STRENGTH THAT SHE CAN FOR THIS MOVE AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS GOING FOR HER VERSION OF THE DRAGON SUPLEX! SHE CALLS IT THE STARSTORM AND HERE IT COMES–
Persephone: Why am I not surprised. Another counter in this gawd-forsaken match. I’m getting sick of this crap. Of course he would counter. It’s nothing new, but it’s not any less annoying. Starstorm? More like a shitstorm.
James Peters: CLOUD LANDED ON HIS FEET AND AYU DOESN’T BELIEVE IT! AYU TURNS AROUND AND CLOUD CATCHES HER WITH A KICK TO THE GUT AND DOUBLES HER OVER! CLOUD HOOKS BOTH ARMS AND DROPS DOWN–
Rich Russillo: THAT’S THE ZERO DAWN DRIVER! CLOUD GOT ALL OF THAT PEDIGREE AND AYU’S FACE AND HEAD WERE DRIVEN RIGHT TO THE CANVAS! AYU COULD BE OUT COLD AND HER NEW ERA CLASSIC CHANCES SEEMED TO HAVE DROPPED TO ZERO AS CLOUD GOES FOR THE COVER!!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHRRRRRRRREEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Martyr” starts playing again as Cloud rolls off of Ayu and makes it back to his feet as the referee raises his arm in victory to the cheer of the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner! CLOUD STRYFE!
James Peters: What an amazing match between two of EAW’s rising stars. Cloud Stryfe did exactly what was needed to keep his chances alive and that was win. Great work by both competitors in this match.
Persephone: Yeah, yeah. A person won and they are all happy and I am trying to keep from throwing up. How about we wrap this thing up and move on with our lives.
(Cloud exits the ring as Ayu starts to move and he heads up the entrance ramp.)
Rich Russillo: Take nothing away from Ayu Megumi. She worked her heart out during this match and during this entire New Era Classic. Unfortunately for her, the road stops here.
James Peters: It’s unfortunate for Ayu, but in the end she was not the better competitor. Congratulations to Cloud Stryfe for picking up an amazing victory on Voltage, even if he isn’t advancing to Grand Rampage!
(The final shot shows Cloud standing at the top of the entrance ramp. Cloud knows that he likely won’t advance to Grand Rampage thanks to the one point difference, but in the end he was still victorious. The camera pans to Ayu Megumi, looking a little disappointed that her New Era Classic run has come to an end.)
(The camera fades backstage, and the fans begin to give a mixed reaction as Diamond Dixon is seen walking through the hallway. She looks unbothered, but as her Grand Rampage partner Mary S. Atlas runs into the camera’s view, Mary does not share the same expression. Mary is clearly very upset and slightly panicking after what happened earlier, when the Queen’s Court attacked Becca Black and injured her.)
Mary S. Atlas: Now what are we going to do?? We can’t fight them on our own! This isn’t what was supposed to happen at all. We were supposed to beat the Queen’s Court at Grand Rampage, but those cowards went and attacked Becca!
(Diamond Dixon stops, and she just watches as Mary is forced to try and calm herself down, pacing around a bit after what she had to witness go down earlier.)
Mary S. Atlas: This isn’t fair, it’s not fair at all. Becca didn’t deserve that. There’s no reason why they should’ve done that to her. Becca didn’t do anything wrong, but the Queen’s Court attacked her all so they’d have one less person to worry about at Grand Rampage! They’re supposed to be the legends and Hall of Famers here, and here they are trying to get an advantage over us just a week before the match! There’s no way Becca is going to be able to compete now after the injury she suffered, and after what they told me, I don’t even know when she’ll be able to compete again! They did all of this for no good reason. Those bitches crossed the line doing that to Becca, and now what are we supposed to do?? We can’t just fight them on our own, we’re going to need a replacement or something to even the odds.
(Diamond remains silent for a few seconds as Mary S. Atlas waits for an answer, and Diamond surprisingly looks a bit confused after hearing Mary’s rant.)
Diamond Dixon: https://tenor.com/bkour.gif
Mary S. Atlas: :comeagain: What?
Diamond Dixon: :mjlol: So you’re confused? Sis, I barely wanted to team with y’all to begin with. In case you forgot, I handled my business last week when I beat Cleo’s ass like I said I would all this time. She thought she could fuck with me and she paid for it. I won on a cruise ship at Voltage’s biggest weekly show of the year, all in a match where we could do anything and get away with it. Fuck I look like still entertaining the Queen’s Court? I’m done with them. That’s it, I did what I needed to do, so I don’t need this. If Becca can’t compete anymore then that’s two partners you’ll have to find I guess, because I don’t move on anyone’s time but my own, so that little six-woman tag doesn’t really mean anything to me when I already got what I wanted in the first place. If you still got shit to deal with that’s all you, because I’m not pressed about a bitch I already beat on my own or the rest of her friends either. I really don’t see any reason why I should be including myself in a match like this anymore, so I’m not gonna be wasting my time on bitches I already dealt with. As far as I’m concerned you’re on your own. Good luck finding a replacement though!
(As the crowd continues giving a mixed reaction, Diamond Dixon continues walking off, leaving Mary S. Atlas in the area, pretty disappointed at how things turned out in just one night. Both of her partners are now out of the match, and it seems like she now has nobody to team up with just a week before Grand Rampage.)
Mary S. Atlas: Great.. :francis:
(Mary S. Atlas turns and slowly begins to walk away, and at this point, Mary S. Atlas has pretty much lost all hope. She obviously didn’t expect things to turn out this way, and there’s not much she could do on such short notice. Mary at this point doesn’t even seem to be sure whether or not she could still go through with the Grand Rampage match, knowing that the chances of her actually finding any new partners is pretty slim…)
(..However, it wouldn’t be long before two people actually do begin to make their way towards her, having heard the entire conversation, and as soon as the camera picks up who they are, the fans immediately begin cheering loudly. Mary S. Atlas turns around as she hears their footsteps, and when she turns around she seems to be a bit confused, as it’s two members of the Ice Aces, ARIA and Usagi Senshi, both of which are at Voltage tonight as Usagi and Ayu Megumi have Iconic Cup matches.)
ARIA: We saw everything that went down just now. Sorry about Becca, by the way. It really wasn’t okay what the Queen’s Court did to her, that was so messed up, but the Queen’s Court are going to pay for what they did. They’re not getting away with injuring your friend.
(Mary doesn’t really say anything, still obviously upset about the whole situation.)
ARIA: Look, I get you’re upset, but you don’t have to give up on that Queen’s Court match, or go there outnumbered. Like you said, they clearly just wanted an advantage against you guys. They wanted you to be outnumbered, and with Diamond out of the picture they’d probably try to do the same thing they did to Becca to you. That can’t happen, and it’d be wrong if we just sat there, saw all of this go down and did nothing about it when we had the ability to. Someone has to step up and make sure the Queen’s Court is stopped after what they’ve done, so if Diamond Dixon doesn’t want anything to do with the match anymore because she believes it’s not worth her time, maybe we could take her and Becca’s place?
(Mary immediately looks at ARIA and Usagi, a bit surprised about the offer. Usagi and ARIA are both seemingly completely serious about it, genuinely wanting to help Mary.)
Mary S. Atlas: Really?
Usagi Senshi: It’s the least we could do. A lot of the roster has the Grand Rampage match or other matches to worry about, so if we have the opportunity to do help you out and take down three Hall of Famers at a major event, why not take it? There’s no questioning whether or not the Queen’s Court were wrong. They messed up hurting Becca, and they’re not going to get away with that. They’re cowards and their Hall of Fame rings don’t change that. They didn’t need to attack Becca, and they didn’t need to wait until the final show before Grand Rampage to send a “message” like that. They did it all on purpose to throw the odds in their favor and leave you without much options, but I don’t think they expected the two of us to be ready to step in. I personally would love the chance to kick their asses and make them pay for what they’ve done, so at Grand Rampage the three of us are going to make sure Amber Keys, Madison Kaline and Cleopatra get what they deserve and regret putting their hands on Becca. How does that sound?
(Mary S. Atlas thinks about it for a second, after all it’s a lot to take in. Becca Black, her best friend, is now out with injury and Mary has no idea when she’ll actually be cleared to compete again. Now Diamond Dixon, who Mary and Becca wanted to help, will no longer be competing in the match. Usagi Senshi extends her hand to Mary S. Atlas, and after a few seconds, Mary finally shakes her hand, causing the crowd to cheer loudly.)
Mary S. Atlas: You’re right. I already have history with them, and they have spent long enough messing wirh us just because of what they’ve accomplished in the past. What happened to Becca was not fair, she did not deserve it, but they did it anyway because of how cowardly they are. They’re not the legends they say they are, and we can beat them at Grand Rampage. I thought I’d be heading into Grand Rampage alongside Becca Black and Diamond Dixon.. But we can do this. We can beat them.
ARIA: I know we can. Now Usagi has a match coming up soon that she has to get ready for, but don’t worry. We will get payback on the Queen’s Court, and this time they’ll be the one that couldn’t see it coming.
(With that being said, ARIA and Usagi Senshi begin to take their lead, once again leaving Mary S. Atlas alone in the area, only this time she’s not upset the way she was before. This time she looks far more confident as she now has partners heading into Grand Rampage, and from there Voltage fades from backstage.)
(Voltage returns to the ringside area and cuts to Bella, who is standing by to announce the competitors for the next match.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: AND IT’S AN ICONIC CUP BLOCK A MATCH-UP!
(“Helix” by Vahkhtang_ begins to blast across the PA system and the crowd starts to react. A mix of cheers and boos can be heard as the first competitor makes her way onto the stage.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA… SHE IS ‘GROWN ASS WOMAN’ LISA WREN!!!!
(Lisa hypes herself up before making her way down to the ring.)
James Peters: More Iconic Cup action gets underway as former Voltage Elitist, Lisa Wren, begins to make her way down to the ring. Lisa has started off this tournament with two straight loses to Grand Rampage opponents, Ximena Velasquez and Harper Lee, but she looks to turn things around here tonight by getting an upset win over a former Unified Tag Team Champion!
Persephone: Fat chance of that, even if her opponent is someone as shitty as Sierra. Lisa Wren is literally one of the worst wrestlers I have ever seen in my life and Becca Blast exists. Or at least she did :mjlol2:
Rich Russillo: :mjlol: While Lisa’s time in EAW hasn’t been filled with marquee wins or main events, she continues to cement herself as one of the most dedicated Elitists in EAW. She constantly improves and who knows? It only takes three seconds to pin someone and Lisa Wren may very well have the ability to shock us all here tonight!
(Once Lisa is in the ring, her music fades out and is replaced by “Hey Superstar” by Madina Lake.)
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT… FROM SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA… SHE IS ‘THE KILLJOY’ SIERRA!!!!
(Another mixed reaction filters through Madison Square Garden as Sierra walks out and begins to make her way down to the ring.)
James Peters: Since the absolute debacle that was Reckless Wiring, Sierra has looked to refocus and get her career back on track. In recent weeks, she has shown a change in attitude, and no doubt she will be looking to pick up her second victory in Iconic Cup competition. During week one, Sierra took a loss to one of the favorites to win, Miku Sakai, but she rebounded nicely last week by scoring a win over Mary S. Atlas. Tonight she looks to add another two or three points towards her total and keep herself in the mix in Block A.
Persephone: Well considering she’s facing Lisa, I am sure she will be fine. Even Sierra isn’t that big of a fuck-up.
Rich Russillo: It’s been nice to see some of the old Sierra come out recently. There’s no denying that this woman has a tremendous amount of talent. She’s just been struggling to get anything going since losing the Unified Tag Team Championships. This tournament could be the spark she needs to finish the season strong and carry that momentum into Season 16!
(Sierra has gotten into the ring and both women have gotten themselves set for the match. The crowd is settling down after Sierra’s music dies out and the referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Traditional collar and elbow tie-up kicks us off tonight as Lisa and Sierra jockey back and forth for positioning! It’s Lisa who manages to get the upper-hand and she immediately goes for a waist lock and brings Sierra down to the mat! She tries to switch to a front face lock but Sierra rakes Lisa across the face and jumps to her feet! She pulls Lisa up by the hair and whips her into the ropes!
Rich Russillo: Lisa ducks a clothesline attempt and quickly puts the brakes on! Sierra whips around and Lisa nails her with a quick kick to the jaw! Lisa with the first cover of the match!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWW-
Persephone: And here we fucking go.
James Peters: Sierra kicks out but Lisa quickly gets her in a sleeper! Sierra isn’t having it and gets her feet underneath her! Sierra pushes them both back to a standing position and she elbows Lisa in the stomach! Lisa retaliates by punching Sierra in the back of the head and throwing her into the corner! Lisa runs towards Sierra but Sierra leaps up and catches Lisa in the face! Lisa staggers back and Sierra jumps to the top rope! Sierra flies off and catches Lisa with a crossbody and now it’s Sierra with the cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOO-
Rich Russillo: Lisa kicks out but Sierra quickly mounts her and peppers her forearm shots! Lisa covers up but Sierra rolls off and begins to stomp on Lisa! Sierra finally lets up and she grabs Lisa up by the hair. Sierra hits her flush across the jaw with a forearm and sends Lisa into the ropes! Sierra takes her down with a clothesline, leaps in the air, and drops double knees down into Lisa’s chest, knocking the wind right out of her! Sierra elects not to go for the cover and she drags Lisa over to the ropes!
Persephone: Hopefully she’ll use the ropes to choke Lisa to death!
James Peters: Well Sierra is showing off her mean streak tonight! She’s definitely using the ropes to choke Lisa and the referee is having to step in and admonish her! Sierra snarls at him but she does back off before he counts to five. Sierra rakes her nails down Lisa’s back and pulls her up to her feet! She chops Lisa across the chest a few times but Lisa is able to catch Sierra with a forearm! Sierra fires back with a right hand but Lisa blocks it! Lisa with a headbutt and that catches Sierra off guard! The former Unified Tag Team Champion is stunned and that allows Lisa to hit a step-up enziguri!
Rich Russillo: Sierra is down and Lisa quickly goes for a cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWW-
Persephone: :francis: We don’t need this shit to become a match with a million kick outs.
James Peters: Lisa stays on the attack though and she’s getting some revenge! Sierra is eating those lefts and rights!! Lisa grabs Sierra by the hair and slams the back of her head into the mat! She does that several times before grabbing her up and tossing her into the corner! Lisa sprints towards Sierra and catches her right in the jaw with a running uppercut! Sierra’s head violently snaps back and Lisa drives her knee into Sierra’s chest! Lisa pulls Sierra out of the corner by her hair and plants her right in the middle of the ring with a running bulldog! She doesn’t go for the cover, but she does pull Sierra back up!
Persephone: I’m sorry but isn’t the whole purpose of wrestling to win your match? Why the fuck didn’t she go for the cover?
Rich Russillo: Lisa is dragging Sierra to the corner and she scoops her up! Lisa ties Sierra up in the Tree Of Woe and she’s unloading knee strike after knee strike to Sierra’s stomach! Lisa switches to stomps and she makes sure to stomp on Sierra’s face as well! Sierra slumps to the mat and Lisa shoves her foot under Sierra’s chin! She presses her back against the ring post and starts choking the life out of her!
James Peters: The referee is admonishing Lisa and he starts the five count! Lisa breaks at four and pulls Sierra back to the center of the ring! She hits her with a double foot stomp, landing right in the center of the former champ’s chest and now Lisa goes for the cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT!
Persephone: Great. Lisa has to audacity to look offended that Sierra kicked out but that’s on her for not doing enough to put the fucking bitch away and end our suffering.
Rich Russillo: Lisa has Sierra wrapped up in a headlock now and she’s keeping her grounded. Sierra is grabbing at Lisa’s arms and trying to free herself, but so far Lisa is managing to hang on. Sierra is using her legs to push up and she forces Lisa up as well! That allows Sierra to elbow Lisa in the gut and break free, and Sierra sprints to the ropes! Lisa ducks the clothesline attempt but Sierra leaps in the air! SPRINGBOARD BACK ELBOW OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE!
James Peters: SIERRA SPRINTS TO THE OPPOSITE SET OF ROPES AND USES THEM AS A SPRINGBOARD AGAIN! SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! SHE REACHES BEHIND HER TO HOOK LISA’S LEGS AND THE REFEREE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTT-
Rich Russillo: LISA GETS HER SHOULDER UP!!!
Persephone: SLUTTERA GOES FOR THE ARM AND PULLS LISA INTO AN ARMBAR! SHE’S GOING TO TAP AND END THIS MATCH!!!!
James Peters: NO! Lisa has hooked her hands together and Sierra can’t extend the arm! She’s trying as hard as she can to get the submission locked in but Lisa refuses! Lisa is able to throw her legs up, wrapping Sierra in a headscissors! Sierra forgets about the armbar and she kips up to her feet! She grabs Lisa by the legs and attempts to turn her over for a Texas Cloverleaf!
Rich Russillo: Lisa is fighting like hell but Sierra manages to turn her over! The submission is locked in! Is Lisa going to tap???
(Voltage fades to a split screen, featuring live action and a commercial break. While Lisa is doing her best to avoid tapping out, a promotional ad for Grand Rampage airs featuring Impact, Terry Chambers, Limmy Monaghan, Donovan Duke, and others that will compete in the 30-person over the top rope battle royal that will send one person right to the main event of Pain for Pride 15! Catch Grand Rampage, live on free-per-view, the weekend of May 7th and 8th!)
Persephone: Well, we’re back and as you saw during the break, this match is still happening. Sadly, Lisa is making her way to the ropes and Sierra is apparently a weak piece of shit who can’t make her tap out.
Rich Russillo: :mjlol: Sierra does let go of the Cloverleaf but she’s definitely targeting the legs! She drags Lisa to the ropes and slips to the outside! She takes Lisa’s left leg and slams it into the ring post! She lets it drop, grabs the right leg, and does the same thing! She continues to slam Lisa’s legs against the ring post, and the crowd doesn’t really know what to make of that! We know Sierra has a bit of a mean streak, but it looks like she really wants to hurt Lisa tonight!
James Peters: Voltage, amirite?
Persephone: No🖤.
James Peters O.
Rich Russillo: Sierra is back into the ring and she’s pulling Lisa away from the corner! Sierra looks for the Cloverleaf once again but Lisa kicks her back! Lisa is grabbing at her legs, slamming her own fist into her right thigh to get some feeling back into it, but Sierra kicks her right in the face! She wraps Lisa up and turns her over a second Texas Cloverleaf!
Persephone: Lisa’s screams are music to my ears! TAP, BITCH! TAP!
James Peters: Lisa is reaching for the ropes, but she’s not close! If Lisa is going to stay alive in this match then she’s going to have to dig deep. I know she wants to keep her chances alive in the Iconic Cup tournament, but I’ll tell you what, guys. It’s not looking good at all.
Rich Russillo: Sierra leans back, applying more pressure, but Lisa is literally scratching and clawing her way to the ropes! She reaches for them and she’s close! Lisa is close to breaking the hold! Sierra is hanging on to the Cloverleaf with everything that she’s got but Lisa lunges for the ropes!
Persephone: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
James Peters: LISA GOT HER FINGERS ON THE ROPES! THE REFEREE IS TELLING SIERRA TO BREAK! SIERRA IS REFUSING! SHE’S RISKING DISQUALIFICATION RIGHT NOW! THE REFEREE STARTS THE COUNT! FRUSTRATION IS WRITTEN ALL OVER SIERRA’S FACE! THE REF IS AT FIVE AND SHE BREAKS! HE WAS ABOUT TO CALL FOR THE BELL BUT SIERRA RELEASED THE HOLD AND NOW LISA PULLS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING!
Persephone: :mjlol: She really hit the ground with a thud.
Rich Russillo: Sierra is glaring at the referee for threatening to disqualify her, but hey! This is a regular wrestling match! There are rules to follow!
Persephone: Fuck the rules! This match is fucking boring!
James Peters: Lisa has managed to pull herself up on the outside of the ring but she’s on spaghetti legs right now! Sierra has tortured her throughout this match and I give Lisa a lot of credit. A lot of competitors would have given up and lived to fight another day.
Rich Russillo: SIERRA SEES LISA STANDING AND SHE TAKES OFF RUNNING! TOPE CON HILO!!!!
Persephone: LMAOOOOOOOOOOO!!! SHE MISSES LISA! LISA FUCKING MOVED AND SIERRA JUST DESTROYED HERSELF! SHE IS WITHERING AROUND ON THE GROUND AND GRABBING AT HER LOWER BACK!
James Peters: THAT’S THE TYPE OF MISTAKE LISA WAS WAITING ON! SHE’S RIGHT BACK IN THIS MATCH AND SHE’S PUTTING THE BOOTS TO SIERRA! THOSE STOMPS CONNECT ON SIERRA’S LOWER BACK OVER AND OVER, AND SHE LANDS ONE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! LISA GRABS SIERRA BY THE HAIR AND THROWS HER INTO THE RING STEPS! SIERRA LANDS BACK FIRST AND LISA IS PULLING HER BACK UP! SHE HAS CONTROL OF SIERRA AND DRIVES HER LOWER BACK INTO THE EDGE OF THE RING! SHE DOES IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE THROWING SIERRA BACK INTO THE RING BY HER HAIR!
Rich Russillo: LISA STOMPS ON SIERRA’S BACK A FEW TIMES BEFORE REACHING DOWN TO PU-
Persephone: SIERRA JUST PULLED LISA INTO A SMALL PACKAGE PIN!
James Peters: LISA REVERSES IT BEFORE SIERRA GETS A ONE!
Rich Russillo: THE REFEREE IS DOWN IN POSITION BUT SIERRA IS ALREADY KICKING OUT! BOTH WOMEN QUICKLY SCRAMBLE TO THEIR FEET AND SIERRA DUCKS A CLOTHESLINE! SHE GRABS LISA AROUND THE WAIST, BUT LISA KNOCKS HER IN THE TEMPLE WITH AN ELBOW! LISA LOOKS FOR A SPINNING HEEL KICK BUT SIERRA DUCKS AND CATCHES LISA FLUSH ACROSS THE JAW WITH A FOREARM! LISA IS ROCKED BUT SHE COLLECTS HER BEARINGS AND SHE HITS SIERRA WITH A FOREARM! THESE TWO DYNASTY ELITISTS ARE TRADING FOREARM SHOTS NOW! IT’S SIERRA! IT’S LISA! SIERRA! LISA! SIERRA! LISA! LISA! LISA!
Persephone: LISA BACKS SIERRA ALL THE WAY UP TO THE ROPES AND CLUBS HER AS HARD AS SHE CAN IN THE CHEST! THAT MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED ALL THE WIND OUT OF SIERRA’S LUNGS AND LISA BACKS UP JUST A BIT! SHE CHARGES TOWARDS SIERRA, LOOKING TO SEND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT SIERRA LEANS DOWN AND SHE DUMPS LISA OVER THE TOP ROPE!
James Peters: BUT LISA LANDS ON THE APRON! SHE PUNCHES SIERRA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, WHIPS HER AROUND, AND GRABS HER BY THE HAIR! LISA DROPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR, SNAPPING SIERRA’S THROAT ACROSS THE TOP ROPE! SIERRA IS DOWN AND LISA DARTS INSIDE THE RING AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE-
Rich Russillo: SIERRA GETS HER SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: Lisa looks about how I feel right now and that’s incredibly annoyed that this match is still a thing. I can’t believe I have to continue trying to act like I care about this shit when I clearly don’t. I wish someone would just fucking win already.
James Peters: Lisa slams her fist into the mat and yanks Sierra to her feet. She looks to ram Sierra’s head into the turnbuckles, but Sierra gets her foot up and blocks it! She catches Lisa with an elbow to the face and leaps on the ropes! She goes up and over Lisa, shoving the other woman chest first into the corner, and she rolls Lisa up from behind!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREE-
Rich Russillo: LISA KICKS OUT AND SHE’S BACK UP! SHE TACKLES SIERRA TO THE GROUND AND IS WAILING AWAY ON HER! SIERRA THROWS HER OFF AND SCRAMBLES TO HER FEET! SHE GREETS AN INCOMING LISA WITH A KICK TO THE MID-SECTION AND GRABS HER BY THE HEAD! SIERRA RUNS UP THE ROPES AND FLATTENS LISA WITH ‘PRIMA DONNA’! SLICED BREAD #2 CONNECTS AND SIERRA WITH THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… SIERRA!!!
(“Hey Superstar” begins to play and Sierra immediately rolls off of Lisa, and onto the apron of the ring. She doesn’t bother giving the referee a chance to raise her hand. She just cracks a smile while catching her breath, knowing that she just won a match that could have gone either way.)
Persephone: Well thank fuck that’s over. Sierra managed to get her shit together long enough to put Lisa away. Hopefully, I will never have to see either one of them in the ring here on Voltage again.
James Peters: Personally, I think it’s great seeing two former Voltage Elitists do battle tonight. Both Lisa and Sierra gave the match their all, and it really could have gone either way. Sierra was able to take control of the match at the end, and she scores two huge points. Congratulations to her, and tough luck for Lisa.
Rich Russillo: It’s another hard loss for Lisa, but if she’s shown us anything in her time here, it’s that she’s not one to quit. Lisa will bounce back. She always does :wow:.
(Inside the ring, the referee is checking on Lisa. She’s obviously disappointed to have come up on the losing end tonight, but she did her best. Sierra just got her in the end and the camera takes a final shot of a victorious Sierra walking up the ramp as Voltage fades elsewhere.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades back in to show Madison Square Garden in all its glory before the sounds of ‘Shake It’ by Metro Station are heard blasting through the speakers. The EAW Universe in attendance tonight come to life with thunderous cheers with the camera focusing on the stage to show Jake Smith and Chris Elite, The Haircare Kings, making their way out from the backstage area. With their respective halves of the Unified Tag Team Championships in hand, the two of them bear an unusually displeased look on their face as they stand at the center of the stage. They don’t do any of the usual theatrics that they usually do during their entrance, instead just looking towards one another before making their way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!! JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE… THE HAIRCARE KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well I can see why both Jake and Chris are unhappy today, as things haven’t been going their way recently and it’s not something that they like. With both of them losing at Super Voltage in their own separate matches then to follow it up with them losing on Dynasty this week in a tag team match, it’s clear that there’s only so much the two of them can handle.
James Peters: Well we also can’t forget what happened on Dynasty was a result of The High Rollerz costing them the match. Which I bet is something they didn’t expect to happen, but lo and behold, it did. Now it seems they’re coming looking to give their thoughts on what happened, and by the looks of things, it’s not going to be all that pleasant.
Persephone: Yawn, I mean, okay? Do they expect us to care about this melodramatic high school drama they’ve got going on? Give me a fucking break. That would be a slap to the face of high school drama movies anyway. :wow:
(Jake makes his way up the steel steps and onto the apron whilst meanwhile Chris makes his way around the ring and instantly slides into the ring. Jake takes two microphones from ringside as he tosses one over to Chris while both of them meet at the center of the ring. ‘Shake It’ begins to come to a close as Jake brings his microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak while the crowd begins to quiet down as he does.)
Jake Smith: Folks I could understand if you expect us to be mad or displeased about what happened on Friday Night Dynasty. I mean, if any of you were in our shoes, you’d understand why. The High Rollerz costing us our match, against two women the both of us were confident we were beat, is not the happiest sight. And at first we were mad about it, shit, we were fucking pissed off. Going from Super Voltage to this? It just boiled my blood especially, having lost to Jack before this. But then the two of us realized… we don’t have to wait much longer. In just a few weeks we step into the ring with The High Rollerz and we will channel all our anger and bitterness at their hands into that match. We will finally get our revenge and thus forth, contrary to belief, retain our Unified Tag Team Championships. Then, after that, and after one of us wins the Grand Rampage match… which I really hope is me but I digress…. We walk into Pain For Pride XV as Unified Tag Team Champions, before walking out as that along with a World Championship around one of our waists. That has been the goal for months now, and nothing changes this time around either, especially with new opportunities on the horizon. We are not going to let it go to waste, this is not a matter of want anymore either, it’s a need. We need this more than ever, more than anyone else can say for themselves. Which means that we’re going to do everything to make sure we get it. Am I forgetting anything?
Chris Elite: Shit I think you did, little buddy. It’s not like I really give a fuck to begin with, because I don’t, but Solomon Stane is still in the tag title match. Yeah that fucking bozo decided his partner getting injured wasn’t a hint enough, so now he’s going out finding a partner that won’t shit the bed teaming with him. Now look, imma be honest, I think that’s nice and all. We challenge anyone to step up because we’ll beat all of those idiots. But Solomon’s gotta realize him getting whoever the fuck as his partner ain’t gonna change shit. Sorry to be the one to break the news to you beloved. I know we ain’t been in the groove as of late, I’m not gonna deny shit either. But now we realize we’re going to have to step it up and be at our best if we want to keep what we’ve worked so hard for. Every week another dick eater questions Chris Elite and who he is along with what he’s done, and while these tag titles are proof in itself, it’s not enough. We need to be the best of this tag division and go beyond it too, and that can only happen if we give them the best Chris Elite and Jake Smith they’ll be able to see. Then those little fuckers will see.
Jake Smith: If you want to be honest, I have no idea what’s going to happen from there, anything could happen. We might lose every match from here on all the way to Pain For Pride and we might not be able to foresee it, though I most definitely do not want that to happen. The point I’m getting at is that it’s a very unpredictable road, so the only thing we can really do right now is take all of this day by day. Grand Rampage, win or lose, we move on. Battle of Egypt, win or lose, we move on. All to Pain For Pride where, regardless of what position we’re at there, we walk out satisfied and quenched leading into the new Season. We have set some extremely high expectations for ourselves since the start of the Season, and month by month we do everything we can to reach it, and we will make sure that Pain For Pride is the time that we finally do. It’s then that we will truly find solace. But until then, we live unsatisfied until we get our way these next few weeks.
Chris Elite: I don’t give a shit what The High Rollerz or Solomon and whatever gotta say about it. The only role they serve in this story is being our stepping stones and we’ll make sure we step right over them like the bozos they are when Battle of Egypt comes around. They can say what they want about us, and yes they have been saying a lot those fucking dick riders, but nothing will change that fact. I know that this is their dream or whatever and the only way they can accomplish it is by beating us, but sorry beloved, it’s going to have to be another time especially with it being us you have to get past. I ain’t settling anymore, shit we ain’t settling anymore. And this won’t end until we end the night victorious, even then I don’t know if that will be enough either. All I know is imma beat the shit out of them, and they’re not going to like what comes to them. All thanks to The Haircare Kings.
(Chris drops his microphone down to the ground, Jake doing the same while ‘Shake It’ once again begins to blast through the speakers of the arena. The two men take their Championships in hand and raise them high in the air while the crowd showers down cheers their way. It’s clear that they’re passionate about what they say and have had enough of everything these past few weeks, refusing to let them get the better of them. The two of them then begin to make their way out of the ring from there.)
Rich Russillo: If that isn’t statement made, well I don’t know what is. The Haircare Kings walk into Grand Rampage and Battle of Egypt with huge battle statements saying that they will not be denied and are going to have to be at their best if they look to get their way these next coming weeks.
James Peters: It’s definitely going to be interesting to see, especially for me to see if Jake and Chris’ words will hold up once this is all said and done. Well, I guess we’re just going to have to find out when the time comes.
Persephone: You want me to be honest? I’m just glad it’s over, it went on longer than it needed to… if it needed to happen at all…
(The last shot seen is both members of The Haircare Kings disappearing through the backstage area while Sunday Night Voltage begins to transition elsewhere from there.)
(Voltage fades to a commercial that is for some reason just promoting the month of May, featuring Chris Elite.)
(Sunday Night Voltage comes back from commercial break to show Bella Braxton standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she brings it up to her mouth and begins to speak towards the camera.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘I Get Money’ by 50 Cent is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena as the crowd erupts into a mixed reaction of cheers and boos. The camera goes over from the ring to the stage to show David Davidson make his way out from the backstage area followed by Jack Ripley. The two of them have confident grins on their faces as Jack hypes up David and points him towards the ring. From there, the two of them then begin to make their way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… accompanied by Jack Ripley… from Las Vegas, Nevada… weighing in at 215 pounds… ‘ALLIGATOR BLOOD’… DAVID DAVIDSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: The High Rollerz have certainly not been short on making statements these past couple of weeks. From Jack getting a victory over Jake Smith of The Haircare Kings, to the two of them interfering in The Haircare Kings’ match on Dynasty and costing them. It’s clear that there is bad blood between the two teams, but The High Rollerz are the ones with the proverbial high ground.
James Peters: Now tonight, David looks to get a win under his belt just as Jack did last week. The two of them are eager to rack up as many wins as they can heading into Battle of Egypt and are going to stop at nothing until they end the night with their third tag title reign. And I think they have a chance at doing that.
Persephone: Oh please, I don’t want them here. Because if they are that means The Haircare Kings are going to be here and I’ve already seen them one too many times tonight. Just boot them out please.
(‘Sabotage’ by the Beastie Boys begins to play up from there as the crowd gives a mixed reaction upon seeing Kirk Redwood begin to make his way out to the stage. He has a serious look on his face as he stands on the stage, looking around nonchalantly at the crowd here tonight before, from there, beginning to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… Boston, Massachusetts… weighing in at 210 pounds… ‘UNKILLABLE’… KIRK REDWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kirk Redwood is hot off of competing in the New Era Classic Tournament and while he didn’t advance to the semi-finals, it definitely proved something for him in his eyes. Pushing away his issues with Shane Gates and showing that he can shine on his own if need be.
James Peters: Tonight he had another chance to prove that, possibly competing in the biggest match of his life against one David Davidson. It’s not going to be easy, but I can see Kirk having what it takes to pull off a shocker. Let’s see how it goes!
Persephone: How about let’s not. This is a stupid match, and I can’t believe I have to sit through this. But whatever.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go as this singles match is officially underway, AND IMMEDIATELY KIRK SHOOTS OUT OF HIS CORNER AND NAILS DAVID WITH A FOREARM STRIKE! David didn’t expect such a sudden attack as now it’s Kirk that begins to nail him with vicious lefts and rights while he’s backed up in the corner! He knows how big of a win this could be if he was able to beat a Championship contender, it would put him on the map that’s for sure! Kirk now grabbing David by the head, AND THROWING HIM ACROSS THE RING SENDING HIM TUMBLING DOWN TO THE GROUND! Kirk is moving fast now as we know he is not someone that wants to waste much time in the ring, beginning to approach David- BUT IT’S DAVID THAT MANAGES TO SNATCH HIS ARM BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING AND PULL HIM DOWNWARD WITH AN ARM DRAG! David brings himself up whilst keeping Kirk down by the arm, DROPPING DOWN AN ELBOW TO SEND PAIN SHOOTING THROUGH HIS LIMB!
James Peters: David keeps a hold of the arm as he brings Kirk back up to his feet, PULLING HIM IN AND NAILING HIM WITH A LARIAT- THAT KIRK MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER AS HE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK TURNING DAVID INSIDE OUT WITH A LARIAT OF HIS OWN! Kirk isn’t done as he turns around and runs the ropes now… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CRUSHING THE HEAD OF DAVID WITH A KNEE DROP! Kirk looks to keep that momentum going as he waits for David to get back up to his feet, only for David to swing towards him- Which Kirk ducks under before grabbing a hold of him, AND LAUNCHING HIM INTO THE AIR SENDING HIM TUMBLING DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A FALLAWAY SLAM!
Rich Russillo: Kirk is going to make sure that he does not let the foot off the gas pedal in this match, and David knows that he’s going to have to find a way to counter that soon before it gets the better of him. David clutches onto the turnbuckle padding and heaves himself back up to his feet, only for Kirk to approach him and begin to tee off with vicious lefts and rights towards his abdomen! David is left to block them as best as he can with his arms, but those shots are sickening as you can hear the thud upon impact! David knows that too as he grabs Kirk by the head and breaks through the defenses, connecting with a elbow shot to the face which sends him backward! Kirk runs forward, ONLY FOR DAVID TO GRAB HIM AND TURN HIM AROUND BEFORE RAMMING HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING!
Persephone: If this was really as brutal as you guys were describing… then I’d be seeing some blood right about now. Where is that shit? This ain’t Voltage for no reason these guys know that right? Yawn BORING.
Rich Russillo: David now begins to connect with vicious shoulder thrusts towards the abdomen weakening Kirk, but that doesn’t mean Kirk is going down either as he begins to slam punches downwards onto the back of David’s head! The two of them are just going off on one another right now and the kicker is that they both just refuse to quit! David finally releases his grip on Kirk and steps back, ONLY TO RUN FORWARD AND GO FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD! But Kirk manages to duck under that just in time leaving David to fall against the corner himself, while Kirk reels his arm back and connects with a hard knife edge chop to the chest! Kirk from there then grabs the arm of David before sending him into an Irish whip towards the opposite corner, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A BOOT TO HIS FACE IN THE CORNER!
James Peters: But before that can go his way it’s David that manages to return the favor and move out of the way of that attack before it can connect! Kirk collides with the turnbuckle padding at the full force, clutching onto his leg as he pulls himself out of the corner- ONLY FOR DAVID TO SWOOP IN AND GRAB A HOLD OF IT BEFORE DROPPING KIRK DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DRAGON SCREW!
Rich Russillo: Kirk gives a cry of pain as David drops down and locks in a headlock on a seated Kirk, trying to make sure that he stays down on the mat long enough for him to get a breather and collect himself! Kirk struggles to get out as he tries to pull at the arm of David, getting him to somehow weaken the hold, but that’s proving to be ineffective right now as David really has a vice grip on his neck! This does not keep Kirk down for long though as he begins to get a base and start bringing himself back up to his feet, doing everything he can to fight through this so this match can continue onward!
James Peters: David dips down to a knee trying to keep Kirk down on the ground, but that doesn’t stop him as he manages to get to a vertical base before instantly throwing punches towards David’s abdomen! David tries to muscle through then, but ultimately he has no choice but to release the hold!
Rich Russillo: David is taken a back momentarily but runs forward- ONLY TO BE GRABBED AROUND THE WAIST AND LIFTED UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE BEING DRIVEN DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A SPINEBUSTER BY KIRK REDWOOD! David is in pain but wastes no time getting back up to his feet, ONLY FOR KIRK TO TURN RIGHT ON AROUND AND CONNECT WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO FOLLOW UP! Kirk takes a glance at Jack Ripley standing at ringside, smirking as he grabs David by the head and brings him up… GOING FOR ‘BRAINDEAD BUSTER’! THE BUTTERFLY BRAINBUSTER TO DROP DAVID RIGHT ONTO HIS HEAD AND POSSIBLY GET A PIN ATTEMPT OUT OF IT!
James Peters: But before Kirk can fully hook the arms it’s David that manages to send repeated shots towards his abdomen trying to get him to let go! Kirk is trying his best to hold on, gritting his teeth and absorbing all the strikes so he can pull through, but he ultimately lets go and pushes backward in retreat! BUT THAT ISN’T BEFORE DAVID GRABS HIM BY HIS ARM AND PULLS HIM IN SENDING A KNEE TO HIS ABDOMEN! David then sets him up… POPPING HIM INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH AN ‘X-PLEX’! ROLLING RELEASE SUPLEX DROPS KIRK DOWN TO THE MAT WHILST DAVID ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR A PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRREE-
Persephone: But unfortunately, the deadbeat dad manages to kick out and force this painfully bad match to continue.
Rich Russillo: Kirk indeed kicks out, and that’s not something that David likes to see. But nonetheless, this match pushes on and David is going to have to do a lot more if he wants to keep Kirk down. David grabs Kirk by the arm and begins to heave him back up to his feet, before sending him towards the ropes with an Irish whip, waiting for him to rebound… BEFORE GOING FOR A BACK BODY DROP- ONLY FOR KIRK TO CONNECT WITH A KNEE TO THE SKULL OF DAVID WHEN HE DOUBLES DOWN! David staggers down to a knee only for Kirk to grab him by his head… AND CONNECT WITH A BRUTAL HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! Kirk falls into the corner, exasperated and beaten. He realizes that he doesn’t have much time to recover in this match and can’t slow down one bit, as he runs forward while David is getting back up to his feet… CONNECTING WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO HIS HEAD TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
James Peters: This second wind is doing him wonders as he turns around, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A KNEE DROP- But David manages to roll out of the way before that can happen, RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO HIS JAW TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! David then begins to bring Kirk back up, BEFORE PULLING HIM IN AND CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM STRIKE! Kirk is left stunned as David pushes him back, BEFORE PULLING HIM BACK IN AND CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER FOREARM TO THE FACE! I think David is going for the trifecta now, setting him up… BEFORE GOING FOR ONE MORE FOREARM TO THE FACE-
Rich Russillo: BUT KIRK MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE SETTING DAVID UP… CONNECTING WITH THE ‘BASTARDPLEX’! WRIST CLUTCH BACK SUPLEX DROPS DAVID ONTO HIS HEAD WHILE KIRK ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND PINS HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! COULD KIRK REDWOOD GET A HUGE VICTORY ON SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE TONIGHT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRREEE-
Persephone: :francis: Oh brother, here we go again. Weirdo Weirdoson manages to kick out this time, and I have a feeling I know how the rest of this match is going to go… and I am absolutely not thrilled.
Rich Russillo: David shows that he is not down for the count just yet, and it’s up to Kirk to calculate what the next move might be for him. He begins to make his way back up to his feet, looking down at David who is struggling to get up himself. Jack Ripley continues to cheer him on at ringside trying to motivate him to get back up, but right now that’s not doing David any good as he is struggling to get back up right now. And if he takes too long he’s going to end up falling into whatever Kirk Redwood has planned for him right now. He grabs at the ropes to keep himself upward while David continues to push him upward, refusing to give in. But right now I don’t think Kirk is going to give him a choice as David turns to face him…
James Peters: KIRK LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF OF THE ROPES AND GOES FOR ‘.50 CAL’! SPRINGBOARD SUPERMAN PUNCH TO THE HEAD OF DAVID DAVIDSON IN HOPES OF FINISHING THE JOB IN THIS MATCH FOR GOOD!
Rich Russillo: WAIT! DAVID CATCHES HIM WITH A FOREARM IN MID-AIR BEFORE HE CAN CONNECT! David stops his attack before it can happen and possibly spell the end of this match, those forearms have to be lethal weapons! Kirk is down but not for long as he begins to scramble up to his feet, realizing the trouble that he’s in right about now- ONLY FOR DAVID TO SWOOP IN AND GRAB HIM INTO A FRONT FACELOCK BEFORE DRIVING HIS SKULL DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A SNAP DDT! David isn’t done there as he immediately pops up to his feet, BEFORE LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING KNEE DROP TO THE SKULL! That forces Kirk up to a seated position in pain while David bends down and grabs around the waist of Kirk, LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD!
James Peters: The two of them have been throwing everything they have at one another and I don’t think they intend on slowing down anytime soon. Who knows what’s going to be the one that finally takes either of them down. Kirk slowly begins to get back up to his feet, as David props him up before beginning to absolutely go ham with lefts and rights towards his head forcing him backward! But Kirk isn’t going down so easily either as he begins to send punches back! Both of them are absolutely teeing off on one another, seeing who is going to succumb first to the other’s attacks! It’s Kirk that manages to pull through and connect with a knee to the abdomen before running to the ropes and back… AND GOING FOR A KICK TO THE FACE OF DAVID!
Rich Russillo: BUT DAVID MANAGES TO DIP HIS HEAD UNDER THAT BEFORE GRABBING HIM AND THROWING HIM UP INTO THE AIR WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX- BUT NOT TODAY AS KIRK BEGINS TO SLAM BACK ELBOWS INTO HIS FACE FORCING HIM TO RELEASE THE HOLD THAT HE HAS ON HIM! David obliges and steps back- ONLY TO BE MET WITH AN ENZUIGIRI BY KIRK AS HE SPINS AROUND AND SENDS HIM CRUMBLING DOWN TO THE MAT! David tries to get back up, but Kirk wastes zero time engaging and begins to stomp down on him in hopes of keeping him down on the mat! But that is not going to be enough as David manages to pull through and bring himself back up while Kirk continues to stomp down on him trying to keep him grounded! BUT DAVID CLUTCHES ONTO THE LEG BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN ELBOW DROP ONTO IT! David then keeps it up, AS HE FROM THERE DROPS KIRK DOWN TO THE GROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A DRAGON SCREW!
Persephone: When is this bullshit going to stop??? GET TO THE POINT ALREADY GOD FUCKING DAMN!
Rich Russillo: David grabs Kirk by the head and instantly gets himself back up to his feet- But before he can do anything it’s Kirk that manages to break free and connect with a elbow right down the top of his head! David stumbles back while Kirk pushes him towards the ropes and sends him towards the opposite side with an Irish whip… GOING UNDER AND GRABBING DAVID BY THE LEG BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A FLAPJACK! He pops right back up to his feet before grabbing David back up as well, LOOKING TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING AS HE DROPS HIM DOWN INTO A SNAPMARE! KIRK THEN RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE GOING FOR A PENALTY KICK TO HIS CHEST!
James Peters: DAVID MANAGES TO ROLL UP TO HIS FEET THOUGH BEFORE SETTING KIRK UP FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! Kirk doesn’t go fully down though as he dips down to a knee, before David pulls him in and sets him up… LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE MAT AND LOOKING TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A POWERBOMB- BUT IT’S KIRK THAT MANAGES TO SLAM PUNCHES DOWN ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! David tries to keep his balance but right now the persistence of Kirk combined with the weight on his shoulders is not turning out very well for him. David is forced to bring him down to the mat- WHILE KIRK LIFTS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A HIGH KNEE STRIKE! KIRK NOW LOOKS TO GO FOR SOMETHING BIG AS HE TAKES A STEP BACK…
Rich Russillo: KIRK IS GOING FOR ‘PAROLE VIOLATION’! HE ROLLS FORWARD AND USES THAT MOMENTUM TO PUSH HIMSELF UPWARD AND NAIL A RECOVERING DAVID DAVIDSON WITH A VICIOUS SPEAR ATTEMPT-
James Peters: BUT DAVID GRABS HIM BEFORE HE CAN DO SO AND POPS HIM UP INTO THE AIR CONNECTING WITH A BACK BODY DROP IN TIME MANAGING TO SEND KIRK CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! DAVID HAS KIRK RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HIM! HE LOOKS TO FINISH THIS MATCH OFF ONCE AND FOR ALL AND BRING ANOTHER VICTORY BACK FOR THE HIGH ROLLERZ!
Rich Russillo: ‘DISASTERPIECE’! BELLY-TO-BACK PILEDRIVER SPIKES KIRK DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WHILE DAVID ROLLS KIRK ONTO HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS BE IT FOR THIS MATCH?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
James Peters: WAIT! WAIT! TWO PEOPLE JUST PULLED THE REFEREE OUT OF THE RING! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
Persephone: You idiots that’s the short dude with his bald partner, are you guys fucking blind or something???
Rich Russillo: THE HAIRCARE KINGS! JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE! THEY’RE HERE! EARLIER IN THE NIGHT WE HEARD WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY AND NOW THEY’RE TAKING ACTION, SEEKING REVENGE FOR WHAT THE HIGH ROLLERZ DID TO THEM ON FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY AND RETURNING THE FAVOR IN A MORE SADISTIC MANNER!
James Peters: JACK RIPLEY IMMEDIATELY RUNS AROUND THE RING AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF TOWARDS THE HAIRCARE KINGS! BUT JAKE AND CHRIS ATTACK HIM LIKE A PACK OF DOGS AS DAVID IS TRYING TO GET HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET INSIDE OF THE RING! BOTH OF THEM ROLL JACK BACK INSIDE THE RING AS THEY ENTER IN THEMSELVES, THEY ARE FAR FROM THROUGH WITH HIM-
Rich Russillo: BUT DAVID JUST LAUNCHED THROUGH THE AIR AND TACKLED JAKE TO THE GROUND! DAVID IS BEGINNING TO RAIN DOWN PUNCHES NOW AS CHRIS APPROACHES HIM AND GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD- ONLY FOR DAVID TO STEP BACK AND CONNECT WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE! NOW DAVID BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON THE HALL OF FAMER WITH BRUTAL LEFTS AND RIGHTS AS THE HIGH ROLLERZ CONTINUE TO HOLD THEIR OWN IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY!
James Peters: BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW LONG THEY’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HOLD THEM OFF FOR AS JAKE GETS UP AND HELPS HIS PARTNER OUT BY CONNECTING WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF HIS KNEE! CHRIS THEN TURNS DAVID AROUND… BEFORE JAKE CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KICK! FALLING INTO ‘OPEN YA MATA’ BY CHRIS ELITE-
Rich Russillo: JACK RIPLEY! JACK JUST PUSHED JAKE RIGHT INTO CHRIS AS NOW THIS BRAWL IS ON EQUAL GROUND WITH THE HIGH ROLLERZ AND THE HAIRCARE KINGS GOING AT ONE ANOTHER! AND IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE PROCESS THE REFEREE HAD MANAGED TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND LOOKS AT THE CARNAGE INSIDE OF THE RING RIGHT NOW!
(DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen the referee has declared this bout to be a NO CONTEST!!!
James Peters: BOTH TEAMS HEAR THAT BUT THEY DON’T REALLY CARE AS THEY CONTINUE TO VICIOUSLY TEE OFF ON ONE ANOTHER INSIDE OF THE RING! THIS FEUD HAS FINALLY REACHED ITS BOILING POINT AS THE FOUR ELITISTS INSIDE THE RING FINALLY LOOK TO SETTLE THE SCORE! AND WHO’S GOING TO STOP THIS BRAWL?!
Persephone: I don’t know but I hope it ends soon, I’m on a strict schedule-
(‘Shadow of the Cemetery Man’ by Rob Zombie abruptly blasts through the speakers of the arena as the crowd roars into loud cheers. The camera goes over towards the stage to show Solomon Stane sprinting out from the backstage area. He’s gripping a lead pipe in hand as both teams in the ring turn around to look at Solomon.)
Rich Russillo: JAKE SLIDES OUT OF THE RING AND SPRINTS TOWARDS SOLOMON- ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH THE LEAD PIPE TO THE ABDOMEN! JAKE DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE WHILE SOLOMON STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH THE PIPE THIS TIME AGAINST HIS SKULL KNOCKING HIM OUT COLD! CHRIS ROLLS OUT OF THE RING TO DEFEND HIS PARTNER AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF THE WEAPON IN SOLOMON’S HANDS- BUT SOLOMON KICKS HIM IN THE ABDOMEN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE PIPE AGAINST HIS SKULL TOO BEFORE SHOVING HIM DOWN!
James Peters: SOLOMON SLIDES INTO THE RING TO CONFRONT THE HIGH ROLLERZ AS JACK AND DAVID IMMEDIATELY LAUNCH TOWARDS HIM AND BEGIN TO ATTACK HIM WITH BRUTAL PUNCHES! SOLOMON IS FORCED DOWN TO A KNEE AS HE DROPS THE PIPE DOWN TO THE GROUND, WITH DAVID HOLDING HIM UP WHILE JACK TURNS AND STEPS FORWARD… GOING FOR ‘YOU’LL FLOAT TOO-
Rich Russillo: SOLOMON BREAKS OUT AND DUCKS UNDER AS DAVID EATS A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE! BEFORE SOLOMON GETS BACK UP AND GRABS JACK… LAYING HIM OUT WITH ‘KEY OF SOLOMON’! SOLOMON STANE IS HERE AND HAS FINALLY MADE HIMSELF KNOWN IN THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP PICTURE!
Persephone: Aw man what is he doing now, don’t tell me there’s more to this…
(Solomon slicks back his hair and makes his way over to Kirk Redwood, who is stirring after being hit with David’s finisher. Solomon, surprisingly… holds out his hand. Kirk looks at it with a scowl on his face, gritting his teeth momentarily, before he grabs his hand as he’s helped up to his feet by Solomon! The two shake hands as it’s revealed who Solomon’s partner is going to be! He then looks back towards The Haircare Kings and The High Rollerz who have retreated to the outside and are left to recover, as he smirks.)
Solomon Stane (Off-Mic): I told you I’d find a partner.
(Both teams are perplexed at the moment, wondering what in the world just happened. Solomon then takes Kirk’s hand and raises it into the air, as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage then begins to transition to elsewhere.)
(Voltage fades to a commercial promoting Future’s new album, “I NEVER LIKED YOU”, featuring Limmy Monaghan.)
(“The Day” by Porno Graffitti plays through the speakers as the crowd instantly boos. IDOL-GUN – Miku Sakai and Hikari Kanno come out as the simps are out and alive for their queens. The simps will always cheer for IDOL-GUN and sometimes, overpower the boos.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…IDOL-GUN!!!!!!
James Peters: I would hate to be IDOL-GUN these days. These two have managed to piss off a lot of these men and women, most notably, Ms. Extreme and Dr. Bethany Blue.
Rich Russillo: At the same time, it’s nice to be there since they are doing quite well for themselves in the Iconic Cup tournament. They are being looked at as the favorites to win the entire thing… if what happened on Dynasty doesn’t happen again. Because if you remember, this week Caroline cost Miku her match against Ximena Velasquez.
Persephone: I don’t give a shit Rick, if you ask me I’m all in for those bitches to face each other in the finals. I want to see the both of them die if Grand Rampage fails to do that.
James Peters: Throughout this season, we’ve seen the issues between Miku Sakai and Dr. Bethany Blue get worse and worse, but it seems like Hikari Kanno and Ms. Extreme have progressed to levels that we didn’t think that we’d get.
Rich Russillo: These two will be clashing at Grand Rampage and honestly, I’m excited to see these two beat the hell out of each other. These four don’t hold back and will deliver.
(“The Day” dies down as the casual crowd boos IDOL-GUN. The shrieking and fanboying of the simps are heard, giving IDOL-GUN their love. IDOL-GUN doesn’t look too amused to be out here, but they got a thing or two to say.)
Hikari Kanno: I don’t know about you, Miku, but I’m not in the best mood tonight. 😒 It’s just been an awful, one, two, maybe three weeks?
Miku Sakai: It’s been a shitty year and Dr. Beth Blue is like 85-90 percent of the reason. It would be a disservice to say 100% because that would be giving that bitch the satisfaction that she’s been the bane of my existence. Her and Becca Black are two bitches who I would love to see take a long walk off a short pier.
Hikari Kanno: Add Ms. Extreme to that list. 🥴
Miku Sakai: Yeah, let’s add that bitch to the list. On second thought, let’s strap those three whores to a rocket and shoot them to the fucking sun. Not only that, but get each and every Ava with them too. We would be doing the company a favor by ridding them of those annoying sluts who think that they’re so much better than us.
Hikari Kanno: Miku, your mind. 🤤
Miku Sakai: No u. 🤤
Hikari Kanno: ILYSM. 😍
Miku Sakai: ILYSM2. 😍
Persephone: Oh god, this is lame. 😒
Hikari Kanno: While that seems to be appealing, I think that we should focus on embarrassing Camille and Bethany, getting our revenge, for the shit that they’ve done to us earlier this season. Camille, for basically, being the reason one bad shit after another happened, causing me to lose two months of my career in the process. I couldn’t stare at my beautiful reflection in the mirror without looking at the bald state that I was left in at Bloodsport. For Bethany, for taking Empress of Elite away from you. She is the reason why we’re not ushering in an era with ‘Empress Miku.’ Could you imagine the looks that you would have served as Empress? I had the celebration already booked? The simps were hard at work and do you know how difficult it was to console a bunch of crying, snot-nosed simps? When you lost, their hearts completely broke and that is Bethany Blue’s fault!
Miku Sakai: You are so right, Hikari. Beth really ruined what could have been such a triumphant moment. She ruined what could have been the best night of my career. Instead, she made the simps cry. Can you imagine the sight of like a hundred simps fighting over two tissue boxes?
Hikari Kanno: Did we also mention that you’ve already used one of those tissue boxes, so they were fighting over your used tissues too?
Miku Sakai: They’re still selling them on eBay. How do you think that they’ll be getting to Grand Rampage and Pain for Pride in the very first place?
Hikari Kanno: Maybe, we can hold some contests. We’ll be needing some bag boys to help us with our things.
Miku Sakai: We’ll talk more about that later, but we have other things to talk about. Like…
Hikari Kanno: Oh yeah, that thing. Well, we have this tag team match at Grand Rampage and honestly, it’s amusing to me because they are really trying to make it seem like Bethany and Camille will be able to hang with a couple of queens. Those two are way over their heads with getting themselves in a tag team match against a team like IDOL-GUN that have been the best part of the tag team division since the day we joined this company. The Haircare Kings can never, The High Rollerz wish they were us and any bum team that things they can step into the ring to face us are going to learn real quick that there’s no such thing as outclassing IDOL-GUN because we are the tag team to defeat in EAW. Not only that, but we’re the best in ANY division that we step foot in. It doesn’t matter if we’re a team or individuals, but everyone can’t get enough of us. We are the focal point in any division that we step in. We are the names that constantly live rent free in the feeble minds of these Elitists.
Miku Sakai: I know that I live rent free in Bethany Blue’s mind. I mean come the fuck on, did you not see her enlist her service dog into my match this week? You would think that capturing Empress of Elite would put her in the path for some self-healing, but look at her. She’s not as pretty as me, I know, but hear me out: isn’t it funny that she showed up to Voltage for NO reason at all, last week? I mean, what was her business in being on Voltage? To be nothing more than a pain in my ass? I feel like I can never be free of that bitch because she’ll continue to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong, just like on Dynasty. It’s the type of person that Beth Blue is. She’ll hold onto these grudges against people that wronged her. She’ll do whatever she can to get the upper hand because she cannot handle the fact that someone better than her came along the way and managed to break down the facade that she tried to show the entire world. She’s not this strong-willed doctor. She’s weak and pathetic.
Hikari Kanno: Speaking of pathetic, I always had the feeling that sooner or later we’d get our shot at Ms. Extreme and when that day came, we were finally going to shut her up. I knew that the moment that she put her grubby hands on us, the issues between us and her were far from over. She couldn’t accept the fact that IDOL-GUN can do whatever they want, when they want too. If anything, she messed up when she managed to put her hands on us, thinking that she could handle the two of us. She may have looked fine two weeks ago, but she made a mistake thinking that the issues between us and her were over. Did she really think that she was going to embarrass us and it was going to be over like that? No, IDOL-GUN is always two steps ahead of the competition and that includes Camille. We have no issue with bringing the fight to Camille.
Miku Sakai: And after last week, it seems like Dr. Bethany Blue wants to join Camille and embarrass herself as well. Well, we have no problem with that. Personally, I LOVE the idea of beating Beth Blue again, just like I did for the Specialists Championship and making sure that everyone forgets about that awful Empress of Elite tournament. I mean, I had forgotten about that tournament until I saw Bethany’s ugly face, but IDOL-GUN has the chance to move on and win the Iconic Cup tournament.
Hikari Kanno: But first, we take care of the trash –
???: Okay, we’ve had enough of this shit.
(The camera pans to Ms. Extreme and Dr. Bethany Blue as they walk out from the back with microphones in their possession. The crowd pops big for these two women, who look more sick of IDOL-GUN’s bullshit.)
James Peters: It seems like Ms. Extreme and Dr. Bethany Blue have had enough with IDOL-GUN and it seems like the fans are as well.
Rich Russillo: It seems so weird to see Camille and Bethany on the same side. These two are like mortal enemies with each other. They spent a good portion of the beginning of 2020 at each other’s throats. Now, they’re fighting on the same side?
James Peters: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Perhaps, that’s it with them?
Dr. Bethany Blue: I agree. I’m pretty much tired of having to hear them. We could potentially have an issue with people getting migraines. Not only that, but with all of these lights, this could trigger a sensitivity to light and mess up their vision. That could cause people to fall and hurt themselves and it would all be IDOL-GUN’s fault. As a doctor, I like to think that we did everyone’s favor by coming out here. :drakelike:
Ms. Extreme: :drakelike: Also, we already know how this is going to end because this isn’t the first time that IDOL-GUN has been in the same ring as me or Bethany. All this time, I thought that I’d have to go against IDOL-GUN all on my own and obviously, I was prepared for that. I was prepared to enter a war by myself, but the two of you being the dumbest cunts alive, went and pissed off another competitor. It just seems very on brand with the two of you at this point. Not only that, but you pissed off another competitor that will always be greater than the both of you. You pissed off another competitor who was not going to stand for the bullshit that you did to her and Caroline. Me and Bethany have not always seen eye-to-eye. We may have found ourselves in a rivalry for the ages, but after it was all said and done, there was a part of me that respected her. I respected what she brought to the table. I respected the work that she put in each and every day.
Dr. Bethany Blue: That’s fantastic to hear, Camille because the feeling has been mutual, even before you realized that yourself. I had always had your best interest at heart – even if things looked a bit unclear from time-to-time. Even when I was bashing your head with a steel chair and any sort of weapon that I can get my hands on, I was always looking out for you. I always wanted what’s best for you – even if you saw me holding you back and not allowing you to fight me. Still to this day, I am looking out for whoever crosses paths with me. When I came to Voltage last week, it was entirely for Caroline’s sake. All we wanted was to watch the New Era Classic matches since Caroline was potentially heading for the semi-finals, so it wasn’t a waste of our time. Hikari, Miku, you started all of this and I will personally make sure that you get what’s coming to you at Grand Rampage.
Hikari Kanno: It’s cute that you think that we’re the bad guys in this situation when the two of you have made our lives into a living hell. Camille, you humiliated me back at Bloodsport. You lead me into a downward slope, where I injured both of my ACLs. I thought my season was over, but I was just built different. There was nothing in this world that could stop me from returning and making sure that the world knew that Hikari Kanno did not miss a step. It was watching my queen, Miku, completely killing it on her own, which gave me the motivation I needed to make sure that I was going to be standing next to her on her journey to the top. I knew that we would be crossing paths again, Camille and this time, I am more than looking forward to making sure that you feel the same ounce of shame that I did earlier this season.
Miku Sakai: As for you, Bethany. Maybe, you’d think twice before sticking your business in things that don’t concern you. You had no reason to come to Caroline’s aid.
Dr. Bethany Blue: You had no reason to interact with her. You could have just walked past her and none of this would be an issue at all, but instigating seems to be part of your DNA. Perhaps, I’ll take a closer look at them by using the blood that I am going to make the both of you spill out.
Hikari Kanno: I fucking dare you.
Ms. Extreme: Your wish is my command.
(Ms. Extreme drops the microphone. Dr. Bethany Blue follows suit and drops her microphone as the two make their way to the ring. IDOL-GUN gets in a defensive stance, more than ready for this fight.)
James Peters: ANNNNND….MS. EXTREME AND DR. BETHANY BLUE SLIDES UNDERNEATH THOSE ROPES AS IDOL-GUN IS MORE THAN READY FOR THEM! IDOL-GUN BEGINS TO STOMP ON MS. EXTREME AND DR. BETHANY BLUE BEFORE PICKING THEM UP, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, BETHANY AND CAMILLE TACKLE MIKU AND HIKARI TO THE MAT AS THEY BEGIN TO UNLOAD A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
Rich Russillo: BUT, IDOL-GUN ROLLS THEMSELVES ON TOP OF THE UNLIKELY PAIRING AND PROCEEDS TO THROW SOME PUNCHES OF THEIR OWN! BUT, BETHANY ROLLS HERSELF ON TOP OF MIKU SAKAI AND THROWS SOME PUNCHES HER WAY. MS. EXTREME ROLLS HERSELF ON TOP OF HIKARI KANNO AND PROCEEDS TO CHOKE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF HER. SOMEONE NEEDS TO COME OUT HERE AND STOP THESE TWO WOMEN BEFORE THEY CAN HURT THEMSELVES!
Persephone: I am LOVING this fuckery. I hope all of these bitches kill each other, so we can move on from this mess.
James Peters: MIKU SAKAI HAS BETHANY BLUE BY HER STETHOSCOPE AND PROCEEDS TO WRAP IT AROUND HER NECK! BUT, MS. EXTREME COMES TO THE AID OF BETHANY BY GRABBING MIKU BY HER HAIR AND THROWING HER TO THE SIDE! HIKARI KANNO JUMPS ON THE BACK OF MS. EXTREME, UNLOADING A SERIES OF PUNCHES ON ‘THE RED QUEEN’ AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN, BUT DR. BETHANY BLUE GETS ONE OF HER HEELS AND BLASTS IT TO THE FOREHEAD OF HIKARI! MIKU SAKAI WITH A SUPERKICK TO BETHANY AS SHE USES BETHANY’S OWN HEEL TO BASH AGAINST HER SKULL!!!!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME BEGINS TO GAUGE THE EYE OF HIKARI KANNO, CAUSING IT TO BLEED, BUT HIKARI ROLLS HERSELF ON TOP OF CAMILLE, LOOKING TO RETURN THE FAVOR!
(The camera pans to a dozen referees coming out and bolting towards the ring. They manage to separate all four women into the four different corners. Three referees each are holding the women back as the crowd begins to boo. The women are shit-talking each other from as far as you can cut the tension with a knife.)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Persephone: LET THEM KILL! LET THEM KILL! LET THEM KILL!
James Peters: MS. EXTREME BEGINS TO KNOCK THE REFEREES AWAY FROM HER AND THIS GIVES DR. BETHANY BLUE AND IDOL-GUN THE IDEA AS MS. EXTREME LAUNCHES HERSELF TO HIKARI KANNO, BUT HIKARI IS MORE THAN READY FOR THE FIGHT. THE TWO WOMEN ARE THROWING PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER. DR. BETHANY BLUE AND MIKU SAKAI ARE LOOKING TO RIP EACH OTHER TO SHREDS AS MIKU IS TRYING TO GRAB BETHANY BY HER HAIR, ALLOWING FOR HER TO GET HER PUNCHES IN, BUT BETHANY IS GETTING SOME PUNCHES OF HER OWN!
(More referees begin to come out from the back and soon after, it becomes overwhelming for the four women to fight. The referees become enough to hold them back as they try to get Dr. Bethany Blue and Ms. Extreme out of the ring. Soon after, the two women comply with the wishes of the referees, leaving IDOL-GUN in the ring. The referees are still holding the women back.)
Rich Russillo: This was insane! Can you imagine what Grand Rampage is going to be like for these two women??
James Peters: That ring is not going to be able to hold those women, but with four of the best in EAW, anything can happen!

(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: AND IS A MATCH IN BLOCK B OF THE ICONIC CUP TOURNAMENT!
(“A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” – Yoko Takahashi blares throughout the arena, receiving a thunderous ovation as Usagi begins heading down to the ring, high fiving fans on the way there.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Residing out of Okinawa, Japan, weighing in at 130 pounds…SHE IS THE CRYPTIC ACE…USAGI SENSHI!!
James Peters: Here’s Usagi Senshi, who’s talked about a feeling of failure as of late.
Persephone: Cuz she is one.
James Peters: Will you stop it?
Rich Russillo: Well, if there’s one way to shake that feeling of failure, it’s scoring a win over someone like Hikari Kanno.
(‘Red Criminal’ The Oral Cigarettes is next to play as Hikari struts down to the ring, clearly looking confident about her chances against Usagi Senshi.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent! Hailing out of Okinawa, Japan, weighing in at 121 pounds…SHE IS JAPAN’S JEWEL…HIKARI KANNO!!
James Peters: You’re right about that, Rich. Scoring a win over Hikari is big any day.
Rich Russillo: I mean, this is one of our most talented women currently, not just on the brand, but in the company.
Persephone: :usure:
James Peters: If Usagi wants to beat her, she’s gonna have to bring it.
(The referee signals for the bell as both women stare each other down from opposite corners.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Welp, there’s the bell, and both competitors lock up in the center of the ring, jockeying for position. But Hikari gets the advantage early with a side headlock, however, Senshi bounces her off the ropes to escape this predicament. And Kanno rebounds back, taking her opponent down with a shoulder tackle before running off the ropes!
Rich Russillo: Senshi springs back to her feet, AND CATCHES KANNO WITH A DROPKICK! Hikari picks herself up in the corner, but Usagi is in hot pursuit, tagging her opponent with a stiff European uppercut, jacking the jaw of Kanno, who’s pinned up against the corner. Soon of the receiving end of ANOTHER European uppercut, following up with shoot kicks to the chest of Kanno.
James Peters: Hikari gets leaned up against the ropes by Usagi, and Irish whipped! Senshi ducks down, perhaps signaling for a back body drop. But Hikari hangs onto the top rope. Usagi inches her head up to notice this, BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A THRUST KICK RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES! Kanno rushes into a cover, hooking the leg!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: Immediate kickout after the two count!
Persephone: Meaning, I have to watch these two bitches wrestle some more. :noah:
Rich Russillo: Hikari quickly mounts Usagi with punches before wrapping her up in a rear chinlock, already looking to wear her opponent down early on. …But Senshi powers back to her feet, delivering shots to the body, breaking the grip of Kanno, who gets rocked with an elbow smash! USAGI RUNS OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HIKARI!
James Peters: BUT KANNO COUNTERS WHATEVER SHE HAD PLANNED WITH AN ARM TRAP NECKBREAKER! Cover is made, hooking the leg!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: Another kickout by Usagi, who jolts up to a seated position. But with that, gets left open for a penalty kick, hitting the back of Usagi’s neck, and high between the shoulder blades! Senshi rolls into the corner, seating herself there to recover, and create SOME separation from Kanno. But it isn’t gonna be that easy as Hikari is like a shark, smelling blood in the water as she approaches Usagi in the corner, reigning down on her with stomps. Some hitting the shoulder, others the side of Senshi’s skull.
Persephone: Hopefully she gets a concussion, so the match can be stopped.
Rich Russillo: The referee pulls Hikari away from her onslaught, and allows Usagi to pick herself up in the corner. But Hikari grabs a handful of hair, maybe looking to bring Senshi to the center of the ring. Usagi fights back with shots to the body, targeting the rib cage, and Hikari staggers into the corner. Usagi charges in with a running European uppercut, and just unloads with a barrage on Hikari before whipping her to the opposite corner!
James Peters: NO! Hikari counters, sending Usagi instead, who goes up and over. Kanno stops herself from colliding with the top turnbuckle, and turns around to catch Usagi running off the ropes! Hikari tries to take her down with a clothesline, BUT SENSHI DUCKS UNDERNEATH, REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES AGAIN FOR A FLYING FOREARM SMASH, KNOCKING HER OPPONENT DOWN!
Rich Russillo: Both competitors are down right about now, and Usagi slowly pulls herself up to a vertical base, using assistance from the ropes. Hikari gets up to both knees in the center of the ring, and Usagi cracks her with forearm strikes before backing up to score a big one in the form of a roundhouse kick! …HIKARI DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND DUMPS USAGI RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HER NECK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
James Peters: Kanno bridges for a cover, and this could be it!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: No! Usagi gets the shoulder up, and stays alive in this contest, looking to rebound back in the Iconic Cup. Senshi rolls out onto the apron, BUT HIKARI KNOCKS HER RIGHT OFF WITH A RUNNING BASEMENT DROPKICK, HITTING THE SHOULDER OF USAGI, WHO HIT HARD ON THE OUTSIDE! That’s the type of viciousness you need to succeed here, and Hikari continues to prove that, heading to the outside, and whipping Senshi shoulder first into the corner of the barricade.
Persephone: Hikari is taunting on the outside, which I’m sure makes her army of simps very happy, but me very sick.
Rich Russillo: :wow: Kanno focuses attention back on the match, and rolls Usagi back into the ring, looking to capitalize with a cover, hooking the leg!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Another kickout by Usagi Senshi, who we know is no slouch in that ring, able to go toe-to-toe with the best of em in EAW. But Hikari once again tacks on a rear chinlock, halting any momentum her opponent could try building following that kickout, not to mention, buying herself time to recover.
James Peters: I wouldn’t be surprised if Hikari is a bit stunned, and needs to get her wits about her a bit, those strikes from Usagi were hitting hard, and I’m sure that roundhouse kick would’ve also. But Usagi once more powers back to her feet, and delivers back elbows to the midsection of Hikari, breaking her grip, and allowing Senshi to run off the ropes in front of her stunned opponent!
Rich Russillo: Hikari attempts a clothesline, but Usagi slides behind her opponent for a rear waistlock, maybe looking for a German suplex of her own. However, Hikari has other plans, making a go behind on Senshi, AND PLANTING HER WITH A SNAP SAITO SUPLEX, DROPPING HER OPPONENT HIGH ON THE HEAD AND SHOULDERS! Usagi might be out of it as Hikari goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
T-
James Peters: Senshi explodes out of the cover, much to the annoyance of Kanno, who seems just about ready to walk out of this match victorious already in her mind.
Persephone: If one of these two could speed up that process, it’d be great.
James Peters: Usagi slowly picks herself in the corner, showing the wear and tear of this match. AND HIKARI CHARGES IN WITH A BIG BOOT IN THE CORNER, ALMOST LIKE AN ALTERED RUNNING FACE WASH, HITTING THE SIDE OF USAGI’S HEAD! Senshi crumples down in the corner, dropping to a seated position, and Hikari places her boot up against the jaw of Usagi!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Rich Russillo: Referee was forced to intervene there, Hikari using all of her seconds, which gets her scolded by the ref. But I don’t think she cares as Kanno grabs Usagi into a hammerlock, bringing her out of the corner, AND WHIPPING HER RIGHT BACK IN, SENSHI GOING SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! Usagi lies on the canvas, favoring that shoulder, which might be severely hurt as the referee checks on her.
James Peters: If that shoulder’s hurt, great. That’s exactly what Hikari wants, given it can soften her opponent up for something like the Auswählen. But Kanno stomps down on the shoulder of Senshi before climbing to the top rope, watching as her opponent rolls away, and stands herself up in the middle of the ring. Usagi has no idea what’s coming as Hikari takes off!
Rich Russillo: CAUGHT! HIKARI GOT CAUGHT WITH A BICYCLE KNEE IN MID AIR, ROCKING HER WORLD AS USAGI SCRAMBLES TO HOOK THE LEG!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRR-
Rich Russillo: She almost had her with a three count, but Hikari managed to get the shoulder up, and Usagi’s gonna make her pay for it, dragging Kanno to the center of the ring by her ankle. LEG DDT BY USAGI! And I think she’s tryna give Usagi a taste of her own medicine by picking at a body part of hers, choosing the leg it seems.
James Peters: Hikari scoots over to the ropes, wrapping herself on the bottom one. But Kanno made a mistake, leaving that leg exposed, and Usagi takes advantage of it, hammering down with stomps to the knee, slingshotting off the bottom rope for another stomp to that area! Usagi uses her foot to push Hikari out underneath the bottom rope, and heads out herself, trying to hook Kanno up for a dragon screw it seems.
Rich Russillo: But Hikari grabs a handful of hair for leverage to punch Usagi in the face, making her drop the leg, and SENSHI GETS BOUNCED FACE FIRST OFF THE APRON BEFORE BEING THROWN HEAD AND SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Hikari slides back in the ring, referee’s at the count of six.
James Peters: Usagi has to recover, and recover quick, because no one wants a count out loss.
Persephone: I do. Anything to put an end to this.
James Peters: :francis:
Referee: SEVEN! EIGHT!
James Peters: Usagi uses the apron for assistance in getting up to a knee, but even then, will she able to make it in time?
Referee: NINE! T-
Rich Russillo: SHE DOES!
James Peters: Hikari comes to notice this, putting an end to her trying to catch her breath while leant up against the ropes, realizing that it’s time to capitalize on her opponent. Usagi gets up to all fours, BUT HIKARI COMES IN WITH A RUNNING KNEE TO THE SIDE OF HER SKULL! Senshi might be out of it as Hikari lifts her to a vertical base, putting her on the shoulder, and trying to shimmy her opponent down, almost looking as if Hikari’s going for a tombstone.
Rich Russillo: But it’s very clearly an attempt at the Hitodenashi Driver- WHICH GETS COUNTERED WITH A VICTORY ROLL BY SENSHI!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI KICKS OUT, ALMOST HAVING GOT CAUGHT, AND BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, ONLY FOR KANNO TO BE TAKEN DOWN WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! But Usagi is in no shape to make the cover, collapsing prone on the canvas as well.
James Peters: The crowd are rallying behind Usagi as she slowly makes her way to a vertical base, moving at the same pace as Hikari, who’s seemingly recovered as well. Usagi grabs Kanno’s head to score a right hand, but Hikari answers with an elbow! ELBOW BY USAGI! HIKARI RETURNS FIRE! USAGI DELIVERS A SHOOT KICK TO THE KNEE SHE TARGETED RECENTLY!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI DOES A SHOOT KICK AS WELL, HITTING THE SHOULDER! Usagi staggers back, but Hikari in attempt to get close, wanders right into an enziguri that staggers HER back into the corner.
James Peters: Senshi goes to Irish whip Hikari in the opposite corner, but there’s a reversal, sending Usagi instead. HIKARI RUNS IN- ONLY TO GET A DROP TOE HOLD INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! Usagi is starting to fire up, and waits for Hikari to turn out of the corner for a SUPERKIC-
Rich Russillo: HIKARI CATCHES THE BOOT, AND 360 SPINS USAGI AROUND FOR A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! Senshi crawls over to the corner, picking herself up with assistance. But here’s Kanno to continue the assault, CHARGING IN WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! Usagi crumples to the canvas, falling prone on the mat.
Persephone: And of course, this bitch doesn’t go for the cover, lifting her up for a suplex instead…
James Peters: BUT ONCE BEING LIFTED IN THE AIR, USAGI GETS OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT BY CRACKING HIKARI WITH A KNEE TO THE TOP OF HER DOME! Kanno is doubled over, and Usagi hoists her up for a powerbomb DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER! USAGI RUSHES INTO THE COVER, URGENCY BEING SHOWN HERE!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEE-
Rich Russillo: NEARFALL! Usagi starts to think about her next move, meanwhile, Hikari finds herself in the corner BEFORE BEING ON THE RECEIVING END OF A RUNNING DROPKICK BY SENSHI! Hikari falls to the canvas, and rolls outta the ring to create some separation. But even out there isn’t safe as Senshi comes flying through the ropes with a SUICIDE DIVE!
James Peters: Kanno hit back first into the barricade, and Usagi quickly sends her back into the ring, climbing to the top turnbuckle while Hikari has idea what’s coming. …BUT THAT TURNS OUT TO BE THE OPPOSITE AS HIKARI SPRINGS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, RIPPING USAGI OFF THE TOP WITH BRIGHTSTAR! AVALANCHE HIGH ANGLE URANAGE SLAM! USAGI JUST HIT HARD ON THE BACK OF HER NECK!
Persephone: YES! SHES DEAD!
Rich Russillo: It certainly looks like it as Hikari makes the cover on a limp Senshi!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: WHAT?! USAGI GOT THE SHOULDER UP! And I think Hikari’s just as surprised as us all, pounding the mat in frustration. But ultimately realizing that there’s only one thing left for her to do against Usagi.
James Peters: Hikari is stalking her opponent, almost like a prey, and a dazed Senshi uses the ropes to pull herself back to a vertical position. …BOOK OF END!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI TRIED TO PLANT USAGI WITH BOOK OF END IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! BUT SENSHI SLIPS OUT THE BACK, AND SHOVED INTO THE ROPES!
James Peters: KANNO MANAGES TO HANG ON, AND USAGI TRIES TO CHARGE IN WITH FATALITY! BUT THE KNEE GETS AVOIDED WITH A SCHOOL BOY ROLLUP!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI DOESNT EVEN HOLD FOR A COVER, ROLLING USAGI TO HER FEET FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB! ALLELUIA CONNECTS! SPIKING SENSHI, AND I DONT THINK SHES RECOVERING THIS TIME AS HIKARI MAKES THE COVER!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERES YOUR WINNER… EARNING TWO POINTS, HIKARI KANNO!!
(‘Red Criminal’ The Oral Cigarettes plays, and the simps are going crazy in the front row as Hikari rises to have her hand raised in victory.)
Persephone: Finally…it’s over.
James Peters: Another win for Hikari, but don’t get it mistaken, Usagi put up one hell of a fight.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, there were times she had Kanno on the ropes, and could’ve beaten her.
James Peters: But in the end, Usagi got caught, and Hikari walks out victorious.
(The camera fades on Hikari heading to the back, slightly limping from the damage Usagi did on her leg, but ultimately smug in victory.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for Grand Rampage, featuring the 30-Person Grand Rampage match.)
(The camera cuts back to ringside as “They Only Thing They Fear is YOU” by Mick Gordon starts to play throughout the arena. Seconds later, Ryan Wilson enters the arena to a mixed, but almost resounding boos from the crowd as he heads to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome “THE ARCHITECT” RYAN WILSON!
James Peters: Welcome back to Voltage and it looks like we’re going to be graced with the presence of Ryan Wilson tonight. He’s not competing tonight, so I can only wonder what he wants to share with the world.
Persephone: He’s gonna shave that ugly ass beard and stop looking like a hobo. Better yet, he’s going to start wearing a giant paper bag over his face so we never have to see it again.
Rich Russillo: Probably not, but with one of the biggest matches happening next week, you would have to expect him to be out here talking about the Grand Rampage.
(Ryan stops by the timekeeper’s table and picks up a microphone before entering the ring. Ryan’s entrance music has faded and the crowd is still booing him, but not as loud as Ryan looks ready to speak.)
Ryan Wilson: As you all know, next week is a very big event in EAW. It’s one of the last major shows before Pain for Pride. Hopefully you people are smart enough to realize that I’m talking about the Grand Rampage and its pièce de résistance, the Grand Rampage match.
(The crowd gives a mixed reaction to that. They are giving cheers at the mention of the Grand Rampage match, since it is one of the most exciting matches of the year with all the action, surprises, and excitement. But they don’t appreciate being called dumb by Ryan.)
Ryan Wilson: Of course how can we not talk about the Grand Rampage match without talking about my appearance in last year’s match. I mean did you all see it? Of course you did and you all still remember it because I had a truly standout performance in that match. Yeah, I didn’t win the match, but it was the beginning of something. It was the beginning for Mister Ryan Joseph Wilson. Grand Rampage set the foundation for what was to come for me. After Grand Rampage I was able to go to Pain for Pride last year and win the New Breed Championship from my old tag team partner and that old blubber bucket Ronan Malosi. But that was last year. This year at Grand Rampage, things are going to be much MUCH different. Why is that you may ask? Because I know you all are very interested, I’ll tell you. I’m going to do even better and put on an ever better performance than last year’s Grand Rampage. How do I plan to do that? Easy. I’m going to win the Grand Rampage match and I am going to leave Pain for Pride in Las Vegas as the new EAW World Champion.
(Ryan takes a moment to bask in the thought of him winning the EAW World Championship at Pain for Pride as the crowd boos towards this egotistical man.)
Ryan Wilson: I know. Soak in the thought of that. I love it just as much as you morons do. Now that I have stepped up my game around here, I am more ready than ever to reach that next level of my career. I’m going to tell everybody now that there isn’t a damn person around here that is going to stop me from making it there. I mean NOBODY! That’s because…
(Ryan gets cut off by the sound of “The Outsiders” by Eric Church starting to play throughout the arena. The crowd goes absolutely crazy with cheers when Donovan Duke enters with his National Elite Champion firmly around his waist.)
James Peters: Well, this just got interesting. Here comes the National Elite Champion, Donovan Duke. He has a microphone in hand and it looks like he has something to say to Ryan after hearing those remarks.
Persephone: Who in the hell gave Shorty D a microphone? The last thing I want to hear is his southern hillbilly drawl. If I don’t have a headache now, I sure as hell will after this is done. Cut the mics, NOW!
Rich Russillo: Donovan is also in the Grand Rampage match and I don’t think he took too kindly to what Ryan had to say. It looks like we’re going to find out.
(Donovan enters the ring with a smirk on his face as his entrance theme fades off. Donovan takes a second to unstrap the National Elite Championship from around his waist and put it on his shoulder before finally talking to Ryan.)
Donovan Duke: Woah woah woah, Ryan. Did I hear you correctly? Did you say that NOBODY is going to stop you from winning the Grand Rampage and reaching the next level of your career.
Ryan Wilson: You heard right. I know what I said.
Donovan Duke: I know what you said and I can’t believe that you actually said it. You know that you’re not the only one wanting to win the Grand Rampage match around here. You see, I am coming off one of the biggest wins of my career last week against that ancient fossil Mr. DEDEDE.
(The crowd starts to cheer after Donovan reminded the crowd of what happened last week on Super Voltage. They were happy to see that Mr. DEDEDE got what was coming to him.)
Donovan Duke: Even though SOSA Henderson ended being part of the match, I managed to walk away from that match with MY National Elite Champion coming back home to where it belongs. With ME! With Grand Rampage being next week, there is nothing more that I would love to do right now than make a little more history.
(Ryan scoffs at the idea of Donovan making history by any means.)
Ryan Wilson: You? Make history? How do you plan on doing that?
(Donovan rolls his eyes at that remark. It’s not the comment that annoyed him, it’s the fact that he got interrupted.)
Donovan Duke: If you’d shut up for a second and let me finish, I would tell you. Have you been listening to what I have been saying the last month? That’s how I plan on making history. That’s by bringing the National Elite Championship to the main event of Pain for Pride after I win the Grand Rampage Match. Now THAT sound has a very nice ring to it.
(Ryan has a look of confusion on his face after hearing Donovan speak. He is wondering if Donovan is serious about what he said.)
Ryan Wilson: Donovan, that’s sweet and all, but let’s be realistic. You have absolutely NO chance of winning the Grand Rampage match. We all saw how great you did last year and this year will be no different for you. And even though SOSA helped you last week in your match and helped you defeat DEDEDE, you STILL haven’t proven that you can do anything on your own. I hate to break it to you, little kid, but Grand Rampage is for the big boys and Grand Rampage is NOT going to be the place where you get to prove yourself.
Donovan Duke: Listen here, you homeless looking copper top. As long as I still have the National Elite Championship in my possession, I am going to continue to do everything that I possibly can to make sure that I have the best title reign possible. That also means continuing to prove oblivious and disrespectful people like you wrong, Ryan. Grand Rampage is an amazing place to face all kinds of competition. It’s also the perfect place to show everyone exactly what I am made of. Ryan, I know you have such high hopes for yourself in the Grand Rampage, but if you aren’t careful, I could very well be the reason why your ginger ass is eliminated and your dreams of making it to the Pain for Pride main event go up in smoke. See you then!
(Donovan drops the microphone and goes to leave the ring, but Ryan takes this opportunity to try and attack him from behind! Ryan looks for a lariat from behind, but Donovan saw the attack coming on the video screen at the top of the entrance ramp. That gave Donovan enough time to duck the attack and send Ryan flying over the top rope and crashing to the floor to the cheers of the crowd! Ryan Wilson is pissed, meanwhile Donovan Duke has a grin on his face. Seconds later, “The Outsiders” starts playing again.)
James Peters: Message sent by the National Elite Champion! Ryan Wilson tried to take a cheap shot against Donovan and it backfired. Did we just see a precursor of what’s to come in the Grand Rampage match?
Persephone: I hope not. Unless Rex McAllister is in this match, I could give two shits less about Shorty D, the homeless carrot, or anybody else in that match. How about we just cancel the match this year.
Rich Russillo: With a Pain for Pride main event match on the line, I highly doubt that will happen. Thirty competitors in the same match, who knows who will walk out victorious. It could be Ryan Wilson. It could be Donovan. The winner could be 28 other people who are in this match. What I can guarantee is that the Grand Rampage match is going to be exciting.
James Peters: You got that right. Ladies and gentlemen, we will be right back with more action and our Voltage main event. So don’t go away.
(The final shot shows Donovan with a smile on his face proud of the job he did and Ryan making it back to his feet and holding his back while glaring at Donovan as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(Voltage fades to the backstage area, more specifically in Myles and Minerva’s lockerroom, which causes the crowd to immediately begin cheering for the EAW Champion and Gold Rush tournament finalist as they are seen with each other. Myles had just finished preparing for his upcoming match against J&J Supremacy and looks to be leaving to head to the ring, and it seems like the two are in the middle of a nice conversation with each other as Myles opens the door, ready to team up with Brian Daniels in the main event of Voltage.)
Minerva: I’ll see you soon. Good luck out t-
(Minerva is just about to kiss Myles good luck as the two walk out of the door, but she immediately stops, looking in front of her. The smile she had on her face while talking to Myles completely disappears, and at this point Minerva is pretty much left speechless.)
Minerva: …
(Noticing how tense Minerva is, Myles turns as well, and there is a few seconds of silence as neither he nor Minerva can seem to believe what they’re looking at.)
Myles: :comeagain:
(It’s Brian Daniels, who seemed to have been waiting outside of their lockerroom door. Needless to say, Myles and Minerva aren’t happy. It’s weird enough having anyone wait outside of their lockerroom without them knowing, but of all people it’s Brian Daniels, Myles’ Grand Rampage opponent and the man he has to find a way to team up with tonight. Despite the look both Myles and Minerva have on their faces, Brian has a big smile on his face.)
Minerva: How long were you out here?
Myles: And what are you doing?
Brian Daniels: 😄 Please, just pretend I’m not even here. Don’t let me interrupt this moment.
Myles: You were waiting outside of our lockerroom, what the fuck is wrong with you?
Brian Daniels: We’re teaming up tonight, aren’t we? Just thought it’d be a good idea to make sure we’re on the same page, especially since our opponents clearly won’t be.
(Myles and Minerva just look at each other, both equally as confused and annoyed about Brian’s appearance, and obviously not entirely believing Brian’s words about just wanting to get on the same page. They’re completely weirded out right now, and at this point Minerva just looks back at Brian, rolling her eyes and beginning to speak.)
Minerva: I’m not even surprised you have voyeuristic tendencies considering the company you used to keep.
(Just like that, the smile is wiped off of Brian Daniels’ face as he doesn’t take too kindly to what Minerva said. Brian tries to head towards Minerva, but even though Minerva is not someone that’d need protecting, Myles quickly steps in front of her to make sure Brian doesn’t touch her. Brian stops in his tracks, and at this point he and Myles are basically face to face.)
Myles: If you take another step you won’t have a match to go to tonight, let alone at Grand Rampage. We all remember what happened last time you almost lost your Grand Rampage match, are you sure you want to go through that again?
(Brian Daniels can’t help but start laughing a bit at this comment as Myles remains in front of Minerva to make sure Brian doesn’t make a move. Myles’ expression doesn’t change at all, and Brian begins to speak.)
Brian Daniels: Come on, Myles. You don’t really think I give a shit about our match tonight, do you? There’s literally nothing to worry about. Did you forget who we’re up against? The whole world watched Jay and Lucas implode tonight since Lucas attacked Jay’s old friend or whatever. Those two are done as a team, and who knows if Jay can even compete? Besides, even if they do manage to compete it’s Lucas Johnson and Jay Jerry Johnson. Even if they managed to work together perfectly fine tonight I wouldn’t care, because it’s those two we’re talking about. They couldn’t even beat me if they were at their one hundred percent, and it’s not like I ever planned to rely on someone that’s made of glass anyway. I always knew that I was going to have to do the heavy lifting since you’re so fragile one wrong move could take you out of the match entirely, and probably ruin your chances of even making it to Grand Rampage. The last thing I need right now is for you to go and get yourself hurt again when Grand Rampage is right around the corner, because when I beat you and I take that Championship from you, I don’t want there to be any excuses over why you couldn’t beat me.
(After listening to everything Brian Daniels had to say, it’s now Myles that can’t help but roll his eyes, obviously not taking Brian’s words too seriously at this point.)
Myles: Really, you’re still running with the injury thing? I came back how long ago again? Pretty sure it’s been two weeks now and I’ve been perfectly fine, and yet you still haven’t let go of my absence as if I’ve been gone for months and not just for a couple of weeks. I was barely away and yet you’re the one who’s been treating it like such a big deal, crying and complaining that you might not get your title match as if there were ever a chance that I’d miss out on the opportunity to shut you up. I literally just enjoyed watching you panic and wonder whether or not you just screwed yourself over and cost yourself your own shot at becoming relevant again, knowing that in the end I was still going to come back and kick your ass at Grand Rampage just like I said I would from the start. It was really amusing watching you scramble and come to realize that you may have ruined your own “rEmArKaBlE” comeback, especially since in the end this shit is getting ruined anyway. Whether you like it or not you’re not going to be heading to Pain for Pride with my Championship.
(Brian slowly steps back, but despite everything Myles said, he has a very evil grin on his face, looking towards Minerva, who has made her way from behind Myles by now. After a few seconds he looks back at Myles, and begins to speak.)
Brian Daniels: Myles, you’re not going to be leaving Grand Rampage with the EAW Championship, but you know what? I’ll give you this. Should you somehow make it past me at Grand Rampage, what comes next would actually be pretty interesting. It’d be almost worth watching the two lovers tear each other apart at the biggest show of the year, letting that title get in the way of your love. It’d be funny, really funny. In the end none of this would have mattered. Everything you two have said and done together would have gone to waste. All of the time you two shared would’ve went down the drain because in the end her greed and her need to become World Champion is going to overpower her love for you, and I’m pretty sure she knows that herself. If she didn’t, would she even be chasing the EAW Championship, let alone wanting to compete in a tournament that puts her right in the main event of Pain for Pride, where one of us would be meeting her at?
(Myles doesn’t say anything, but at this point it’s clear that he has gone from annoyed to pissed off, clearly not wanting to hear anything else Brian Daniels has left to say, but choosing to keep his cool, especially knowing that they’ll have to team up in just a few moments. Brian Daniels turns towards Minerva once again, and that evil grin has not left his face.)
Brian Daniels: You know what I’m talking about, right Minerva? Isn’t this all part of you finding yourself or something again, right? You want to make it back to the top, become World Champion again and all of that, even if it comes at Myles’ expense. What was it you were told again? “Be you”?
(At this point, Minerva finally snaps, punching Brian Daniels in the mouth and knocking Brian off of his feet. Minerva makes an attempt to continue attacking Brian, but Myles holds her back, knowing that it’s really not worth even giving Brian the time of day. Brian Daniels is seated on the ground holding his jaw, and as Myles is forced to pull Minerva away, Brian can be heard laughing a bit once again.)
Brian Daniels: At least you won’t have to worry about that come Pain for Pride.
(Myles continues dragging Minerva away, bringing her back into their lockerroom. At this point, Myles looks back at Brian Daniels, still pissed off.)
Myles: Fuck you, Viper.
(The door slams, and as Brian is still on the floor holding his jaw, that smile he had before turns very cold. Brian Daniels sitting there is the last thing shown on the camera before Voltage fades out away from the backstage area.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for Grand Rampage, where Myles defends his EAW Championship against Brian Daniels.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, and Bella Braxton can be seen in the middle of the ring with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a TAG TEAM MATCH, SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘POA’ by Future hits, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction for Jay Jerry Johnson, who slowly walks out to the stage slightly bandaged. Jay doesn’t walk alongside his partner, instead coming out on his own after what happened earlier in the night, when Lucas Johnson was revealed as the man that attacked his friend Fitzgerald. Jay Jerry Johnson still looks like he hasn’t fully recovered from that reveal, but he slowly walks down the ramp and makes his way to the ring nonetheless.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… Billed from Yokohama, Japan… Weighing in at 198 pounds…. JAAAYYYYY JEERRRYYYY JJOOHHHNNNSSOONNNN!!!!!!!
(‘Ready to Die’ by the Notorious B.I.G follows, and the crowd immediately begins booing loudly as Lucas Johnson walks out. He doesn’t waste time making his way down the ramp and towards the ring, knowing that if he wants to win this match his best bet is to not stir things up with Jay Jerry Johnson after what happened earlier. He makes his way onto the ring apron, allowing Jay Jerry Johnson to start the match.)
Bella Braxton: And his partner… From Long Island, New York… Weighing in at 210 pounds…. LLUUUUUUUCCCAAAAASSSS JOHHHNNNSSOOONNNNN!!!!!!!
James Peters: Just a week ago we would have seen these two coming out together, but it’s safe to say that’s over with now, and this week was a horrible week for that to be the case!
Rich Russillo: You’re right, but for what it’s worth, I don’t expect their opponents to be entirely on the same page either. This may be a tag team match, but I don’t really expect anybody to work well with their partners tonight.
(‘Backseat Freestyle’ by Kendrick Lamar hits, and the crowd gives off a mixed reaction for Brian Daniels, who makes his way to the stage without much care for who his opponents are tonight. He doesn’t look impressed by Jay Jerry Johnson and Lucas Johnson at all, and before long he begins to walk down the ramp with a but of a smirk on his face, like he can’t even take the two seriously.)
Bella Braxton: Making his way to the ring… From New York City, New York… Weighing in at 195 pounds… BRRRIIAANNNNN DDDAANNIIEELLSSS!!!!!!
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi hits, and finally the crowd begins to cheer completely as Myles makes his way out with the EAW Championship on his shoulder. As he makes his way to the ring he stares right at Brian Daniels, obviously not trusting him much knowing the history they share. As Myles makes it to the ring he argues with Brian for a few seconds, but Brian makes his way out to the ring apron without much fight, seemingly allowing Myles to start this match off.)
Bella Braxton: And his partner… From Melbourne, Australia… Weighing in at 215 pounds…. HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION… MYYYYYYYYYYLLEESSSSS!!!!!!
James Peters: Surprisingly Brian Daniels is letting Myles start this one off, but we all heard what he said! Brian clearly doesn’t care about this match, but he also said he didn’t plan to rely on Myles. I don’t know where this is going, but I have a feeling we’ll find out sooner rather than later.
Rich Russillo: These are two teams that have the potential of completely blowing up in our faces. We may have to give them the benefit of the doubt until then though, because this could be a really great match!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: Here we go! Myles looks to be starting this one off along with Jay Jerry Johnson, AND NOW THE TWO QUICKLY LOCK UP, NOT WASTING MUCH TIME! Myles is able to take control so far, locking Jay Jerry Johnson in a headlock! Jay Jerry Johnson is trying to push Myles towards the ropes, but Myles is able to stand his ground and prevent Jay from overpowering him! JAY JERRY JOHNSON FINDS A SOLUTION TO THIS THOUGH, AS HE LIFTS MYLES UP, POSSIBLY LOOKING TO HIT THE CHAMP WITH A BACK SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: MYLES FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FEET BEFORE GRABBING JAY FROM BEHIND AND DELIVERING A GERMAN SUPLEX! Myles is overpowering Jay Jerry Johnson right now, but for what it’s worth there’s just no way Jay could possibly be at his best right now, not after what went down earlier! Myles is still holding onto Jay Jerry Johnson, and now he pulls Jay up, BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP FOR A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX IN A ROW! Myles still isn’t finished though! Myles pulls Jay back up before grabbing the arm, AND NOW HE SPINS JAY AROUND BEFORE LOOKING FOR A RIPCORD LARIAT-
Persephone: Annnddd it doesn’t connect, because Myles sucks.
James Peters: JAY JERRY JOHNSON MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER THE LARIAT, AND HE HITS MYLES WITH A SUPERKICK THAT CAUSES MYLES TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS INTO THE ROPES!!! MYLES BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES, AND NOW JAY GOES FOR A ROLLING FOREARM SMA- NO! MYLES COUNTERS BY DELIVERING A BOOT TO THE FACE AND NOW IT’S JAY JERRY JOHNSON BACKPEDALING INTO THE ROPES- BUT AS JAY BOUNCES OFF OF THEM HE JUMPS OVER MYLES, PULLING THE EAW CHAMPION DOWN FOR A SUNSET FLIP PIN!! JAY JERRY JOHNSON MIGHT BE LOOKING TO STEAL THIS ONE!
ONE!
T-
Rich Russillo: MYLES KICKS OUT BEFORE TWO BEFORE QUICKLY GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET, AND NOW MYLES GOES FOR-
(TAG!)
Persephone: Nothing. He goes for nothing, because Brian Daniels tagged himself in literally as soon as Myles got close enough. I wish I could be glad that I don’t have to see Myles wrestle anymore, but now I have to watch Brian Daniels wrestle and that’s gonna be just as boring.
Rich Russillo: I don’t know, I think it’ll be pretty cool!
Persephone: Was I asking you? Because I don’t think I was.
Rich Russillo: :will:
James Peters: Myles exits the ring but needless to say he isn’t too happy about what Brian Daniels just did. BRIAN IS IN THE RING THOUGH, AND HE QUICKLY GRABS JAY JERRY JOHNSON BEFORE JAY COULD MAKE A MOVE, AND NOW THERE’S A DRAGON SCREW! BRIAN DANIELS NOW IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING UP WITH A KNEEBAR, AND IT LOOKS LIKE JAY JERRY JOHNSON MIGHT BE IN SOME TROUBLE HERE AS HE IS STRUGGLING TO ESCAPE THIS SUBMISSION! Brian Daniels made it clear that he never planned to rely on Myles, but Myles’ offense in this match so far has allowed Brian to take control!
Rich Russillo: Jay Jerry Johnson is quick to grab onto the ropes before Brian could do much damage, and of course this means that Brian Daniels must let go of the submission! Brian Daniels lets go before making it back up to his feet, AND NOW BRIAN PULLS JAY BACK UP BEFORE- JAY SHOVES BRIAN AWAY BEFORE JUMPING UP AND HITTING BRIAN WITH A DROPKICK!! JAY JERRY JOHNSON PUSHES HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET AS BRIAN DANIELS MAKES IT BACK UP, AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON SENDS BRIAN DANIELS OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!!
James Peters: BRIAN MANAGES TO HANG ONTO THE ROPES THOUGH, ALLOWING HIM TO LAND ON THE RING APRON! Jay Jerry Johnson could tag in Lucas Johnson right now, but I think it’s safe to say he wants nothing to do with Lucas after what was revealed earlier! Jay Jerry Johnson now heading towards Brian before grabbing him- BUT BRIAN DANIELS IS ABLE TO LAND A HEADBUTT ON JAY! BRIAN DANIELD NOW HEADING UP TO THE TOP ROPE AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON STUMBLES BACK, AND-
(TAG!)
James Peters: DIVING KNEE STRIKE BY BRIAN DANIELS TO JAY JERRY JOHNSON- NO!!! BRIAN DANIELS HESITATED AFTER MYLES TAGGED HIMSELF IN, AND THAT GAVE JAY JERRY JOHNSON TIME TO COUNTER AND GRAB BRIAN DANIELS FROM BEHIND BEFORE DELIVERING A RIPCORD SLINGBLADE!!! Jay Jerry Johnson now back to his feet- BUT MYLES QUICKLY DROPS HIM WITH A RUNNING LARIAT!! Jay Jerry Johnson is in trouble as he is pretty much forcing himself into a handicap, but for what it’s worth, Myles and Brian aren’t working together very well either! Brian Daniels has made it back to his feet, and now he and Myles are beginning to argue with one another!
Persephone: Of course they are. That’s why the match is happening, isn’t it? We have a thousand of these “can they co-exist” matches like every month, and the answer is the same literally every single time.
Rich Russillo: Brian Daniels is finally making his way out of the ring as Myles turns his attention back to the match- AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON HITS MYLES WITH A RIGHT HAND! MYLES WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD BUT HE IS ABLE TO THROW- NO! JAY DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE SWINGING AT MYLES AGAIN- BUT MYLES CATCHES JAY’S ARM! NOW MYLES PUSHES JAY AWAY BEFORE GOING FOR A RUNNING KNEE, BUT JAY IS ABLE TO AVOID IT BEFORE GRABBING MYLES FROM BEHIND! MYLES LANDS A BACK ELBOW THOUGH, AND HE FOLLOWS THIS UP WITH A SNAPMARE BEFORE LOOKING TO HIT JAY WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
James Peters: JAY JERRY JOHNSON DUCKED UNDER IT! JAY NOW QUICKLY GETTING BACK UP, AND-
(TAG!)
James Peters: …And now Lucas Johnson enters the match! Now it’s Jay Jerry Johnson and Lucas Johnson arguing as Lucas makes his first appearance in this one, AND MYLES LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE AS HE GOES AFTER THE TWO, BUT LUCAS JOHNSON DUCKS, CAUSING MYLES TO KNOCK JAY JERRY JOHNSON OUT OF THE RING WITH AN ELBOW SMASH!! NOW LUCAS JOHNSON TRIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AS HE LOOKS FOR THE KILLSWITCH- BUT MYLES IS ABLE TO PULL LUCAS’ ARMS AWAY FROM HIM BEFORE TAKING HIM TO THE MAT WITH A HIP TOSS!!! Myles now running the ropes, AND HE LOOKS FOR A KNEE DROP-
Rich Russillo: WHICH LUCAS JOHNSON IS ABLE TO AVOID AS HE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! LUCAS QUICKLY GETS BACK UP AS MYLES PULLS HIMSELF UP TO A KNEE- AND LUCAS JOHNSON GRABS MYLES BY THE HEAD BEFORE PLANTING HIM WITH A DDT!! LUCAS JOHNSON NOW WITH THE COVER!!
ONE!
TWO-
Rich Russillo: AND NOW MYLES KICKS OUT, KEEPING THIS TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT ALIVE!! What a match this has been so far, especially knowing that these are two completely dysfunctional tag teams competing right now! Somehow this has still been great!
Persephone: What?? This has been completely unimpressive. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
James Peters: Lucas Johnson makes it back up to his feet, AND HE BEGIN TO STOMP AWAY AT MYLES, FORCING MYLES TO ROLL TOWARDS THE ROPES AND USE THEM TO TRY AND PULL HIMSELF BACK UP! LUCAS JOHNSON IS STILL ON THE ATTACK THOUGH AS HE CONTINUES TO HIT MYLES WITH SHOOT KICKS, BACKING MYLES INTO THE CORNER WHERE LUCAS IS ABLE TO BEGIN KICKING AWAY AT HIS STOMACH! MYLES IS IN TROUBLE RIGHT NOW, AS LUCAS JOHNSON IS FRESH IN THIS MATCH AND HAS NOT HAD TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING EXHAUSTED THE SAME WAY MYLES HAS! SO FAR THIS IS ALL LUCAS, AND- WAIT! MYLES JUST CAUGHT LUCAS JOHNSON’S BOOT!!! MYLES JUST CAUGHT HIS BOOT, AND NOW MYLES POPS LUCAS UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!! IT LOOKS LIKE MYLES HAD SOMETHING IN MIND AFTER ALL, AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!
Rich Russillo: LUCAS JOHNSON QUICKLY BEGINS PUNCHING AWAY THOUGH, DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO MAKE SURE MYLES ISN’T ABLE TO LAND THE POWERBOMB!!! MYLES IS FORCED TO LET GO OF LUCAS AS THE PUNCHES BECOME TOO MUCH FOR HIM- BUT AS SOON AS MYLES LETS LUCAS GO HE HITS LUCAS WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!! LUCAS STUMBLES BACK, BUT HE’S ABLE TO RETALIATE WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE TURNING AND HITTING A SPINNING BACKFIST!! LUCAS NOW KICKING MYLES’ LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM BEFORE PULLING THE CHAMPION INTO A FRONT FACELOCK, AND NOW LUCAS PULLS MYLES UP FOR A SUPLE-
Persephone: Nope. Myles landed on his feet behind Lucas, and of course…
(TAG!)
Persephone: The weirdo that hangs outside of people’s lockerrooms tagged himself in.
James Peters: At this point Myles doesn’t even say anything and just makes his way out of the ring, but Brian Daniels doesn’t have much of an advantage as Lucas was able to turn and see the tag happen! Brian Daniels enters the ring, AND NOW IT’S LUCAS AND BRIAN LOCKING UP WITH EACH OTHER, ONLY BRIAN IS QUICK TO LOCK IN A HAMMERLOCK! LUCAS USES A FREE ARM TO ATTEMPT A BACK ELBOW BUT BRIAN DUCKS UNDER IT! BRIAN DANIELS NOW ATTEMPTING A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, BUT LUCAS DUCKS UNDER THAT BEFORE TAKING BRIAN TO THE MAT WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN!
Rich Russillo: LUCAS JOHNSON LOOKING TO STRIKE WHILE HE’S ON TOP OF BRIAN, BUT BRIAN PULLS HIS LEGS UP BEFORE WRAPPING THEM AROUND LUCAS’ ARM, PULLING LUCAS INTO AN ARMBAR!!! BRIAN DANIELS HAS LUCAS JOHNSON IN AN ARMBAR RIGHT NOW, AND LUCAS JOHNSON DESPERATELY NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THIS SUBMISSION FAST, BECAUSE EVEN IF HE DOESN’T TAP OUT THAT ARM COULD BECOME A VERY BIG WEAKNESS LATER ON THE LONGER HE’S TRAPPED IN THIS ARMBAR!
James Peters: That’s the thing! Lucas Johnson is in trouble no matter what and Brian Daniels knows that, which is what makes that counter into the armbar that much more impressive! Lucas Johnson is already fighting his way out of this though as he slowly pulls himself up, BUT THIS JUST CAUSES BRIAN DANIELS TO TRY AND TRANSITION INTO A TRIANGLE CH- NO! LUCAS JOHNSON WITH A HUGE RIGHT HAND, FORCING BRIAN DANIELS TO LET GO OF HIM! BRIAN DANIELS MAKES IT BACK TO A KNEE- BUT LUCAS JOHNSON CATCHES HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! LUCAS JOHNSON GRABS BRIAN FROM BEHIND NOW, AND HE HITS HIM WITH THE KILLSWITCH!!! LUCAS GOES FOR THE COVER, IS LUCAS JOHNSON ABOUT TO PIN BRIAN DANIELS????
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
Rich Russillo: NO, BRIAN DANIELS MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP, AND LOOK AT MYLES!!! Myles had only one foot in the ring, and I think he had debated whether or not he should make an attempt to break up the pin! Had Brian not had enough to kick out though, that hesitation would’ve cost them the match! Lucas Johnson slowly makes his way back to his feet, and at this point I just have to say that it’s very impressive how this match has been playing out.
Persephone: HOW??? How is this impressive at all????
James Peters: Look who Jay and Lucas are facing! They’re in a match against the World Champion and their challenger right now, and while neither team really has chemistry on their side anymore, they seem to be doing fine! Lucas Johnson is pulling Brian Daniels back to his feet, AND NOW LUCAS IS PULLING HIM INTO A FRONT FACELOCK, BUT BRIAN DANIELS PUNCHES LUCAS IN THE SIDE! LUCAS LETS GO AND DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION CAUSING BRIAN TO STUMBLE INTO THE CORNER, AND NOW LUCAS JOHNSON RUNS IN- BUT BRIAN MANAGES TO GET A BOOT UP, AND IT CONNECTS!
Rich Russillo: BRIAN DANIELS DRAGS HIMSELF UP ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AS LUCAS JOHNSON STUMBLES BACK, AND NOW BRIAN CONNECTS WITH A DIVING KNEE, DROPPING LUCAS JOHNSON ONTO THE MAT!!! BRIAN DANIELS USES THE ROPES TO PULL HIMSELF UP, AND NOW HE HEADS OVER TO LUCAS BEFORE GRABBING HIS ARMS, AND STOMPING AWAY AT HIS FACE!!! THIS IS ONE OF BRIAN DANIELS’ SIGNATURE MOVES, ONE OF THE MOVES WE’VE SEEN IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS MATCHES SO FAR!
Persephone: Yeah and it sucks every single time. Why even do this if he’s not gonna leave their faces a bloody pulp? I don’t wanna see Lucas Johnson anymore, get rid of him!
James Peters: BRIAN DANIELS FINALLY STOPS STOMPING ON LUCAS, BUT HE HOLDS ONTO THE ARMS STILL! Brian Daniels now pulling Lucas Johnson up to his knees, AND BRIAN DELIVERS A KAMIGOYE KNEE STRIKE!!! BRIAN DANIELS WITH A BRUTAL DISPLAY RIGHT NOW AS HE LIFTS LUCAS JOHNSON UP, AND NOW DELIVERS A DRAGON SUPLEX!!! BRIAN DANIELS NOW PULLING LUCAS JOHNSON UP ONCE AGAIN, AND I THINK HE’S LOOKING FOR ANOTHER-
Rich Russillo: BUT LUCAS MANAGES TO FREE AN ARM BEFORE ELBOWING BRIAN IN THE STOMACH!! LUCAS JOHNSON NOW TURNING AND KICKING BRIAN IN THE MIDSECTION, AND LUCAS LOOKS FOR A DDT- BUT BRIAN DANIELS PUSHES LUCAS AWAY!! LUCAS JOHNSON RUNS BACK IN- BUT BRIAN DROPS HIM WITH A DROP TOE HOLD BEFORE TRYING TO LOCK IN A CROSSFACE!!! BRIAN IS TRYING TO LOCK IN THE FOURTH SEAL, BUT LUCAS JOHNSON IS PULLING HIMSELF SEAY BEFORE BRIAN COULD ACTUALLY APPLY THE SUBMISSION! LUCAS JOHNSON FINALLY GRABS ONTO THE ROPES, ALL BEFORE BRIAN COULD EVEN APPLY THE SUBMISSION!
James Peters: YEAH, BUT BRIAN DANIELS PULLS LUCAS AWAY FROM THE ROPES BEFORE LOOKING FOR A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD- OH! LUCAS JOHNSON AVOIDS THE BOOT, AND NOW-
(TAG!)
James Peters: JAY JERRY JOHNSON TAGS HIMSELF IN! Jay getting in the ring, and Lucas is arguing with him! Lucas and Jay going back and forth- AND LUCAS JOHNSON SHOVES JAY JERRY JOHNSON BEFORE EXITING THE RING! Things are heated between these two, but look at what’s going on on the other side of the ring!
(Myles is seen holding his hand out with an annoyed look on his face as Brian mockingly just smirks at him. After a few seconds Brian does tag Myles in, and Myles stares a hole in Brian Daniels as Brian leaves the ring, and Myles enters.)
Rich Russillo: Both Myles and Jay Jerry Johnson are in the ring, AND NOW THE TWO CHARGE AT ONE ANOTHER! MYLES WENT FOR A LARIAT BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES! JAY JERRY JOHNSON LOOKS FOR A BICYCLE KICK- BUT MYLES AVOIDS IT BEFORE GRABBING JAY FROM BEHIND AND LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX- WHICH JAY IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF AND LAND ON HIS FEET! Myles now quickly getting back to his feet, AND NOW JAY JERRY JOHNSON LOOKS FOR THE PRETTY VISITOR!!!
Persephone: But as usual, he can’t connect with the move.
James Peters: MYLES PUSHES JAY JERRY JOHNSON INTO THE ROPES BEFORE IMMEDIATELY CHARGING IN- AND MYLES HITS JAY WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE BEFORE JAY COULD EVEN BOUNCE OFF OF THE ROPES! MYLES NOW LIFTING JAY JERRY JOHNSON UP BEFORE TURNING TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, AND MYLES PLANTS JAY JERRY JOHNSON WITH A SIT OUT POWERBOMB!!! MYLES NOW WITH THE COVER TO POSSIBLY BRING THIS MATCH TO AN END!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
Rich Russillo: AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON KICKS OUT, JAY JERRY JOHNSON KEEPS THIS MATCH ALIVE!!!
Persephone: Come on… Hurry up. Why is this boring match still going??
James Peters: Myles is right back up, AND NOW HE PULLS JAY TO THE ROPES BEFORE WRAPPING HIS ARMS IN THEM!! JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS TRAPPED IN THE ROPES, AND NOW MYLES BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES BEFORE HITTING JAY WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!!! Jay Jerry Johnson looks out of it, but Myles doesn’t look like he is finished just yet! MYLES BEGINS TO RUN THE ROPES FOR A SECOND TIME- ONLY THIS TIME JAY IS ABLE TO GET A BOOT UP, HITTING MYLES RIGHT IN THE FACE AND STOPPING HIM FROM CONNECTING WITH ANYMORE KNEE STRIKES!!!
Rich Russillo: JAY JERRY JOHNSON STARTING TO FREE HIS ARMS, AND NOW MYLES CHARGES IN ONCE AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME JAY IS ABLE TO LAND A SIDE ELBOW TO MAKE MYLES STUMBLE BACK!! MYLES STUMBLES BACK AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON RUNS IN AND GRABS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION HAVING FINALLY FREED HIMSELF, AND NOW JAY RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES BEFORE LOOKING TO SEND MYLES OUT OF THE RI- NO! MYLES TURNS AROUND AND TOSSES JAY JERRY JOHNSON OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!
James Peters: Jay Jerry Johnson is quick to make it back up to his feet, BUT WHILE HE WAS GETTING UP MYLES RAN THE ROPES, AND NOW MYLES SOARS OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A TOPE CON HILO, TAKING OUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!! MYLES GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AND ALL OF THE FANS IN THE ARENA EXPLODE INTO CHEERS AFTER THAT AMAZING DIVE BY THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!! MYLES GRABS JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND SENDS HIM BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE HEADING BACK UP TO THE TOP ROPE!! JAY JERRY JOHNSON MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET, AND NOW MYLES DIVES!!
Rich Russillo: JAY JERRY JOHNSON RUSHES INTO THE CORNER AVOIDING THE DIVE- BUT MYLES ROLLS BACK UP ONTO HIS FEET!!! BOTH MEN NOW CHARGING AT ONE ANOTHER- AND JAY POPS MYLES UP BEFORE DELIVERING THE PRETTY VISITOR!!!! PRETTY VISITOR CONNECTS ON THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, AND I THINK JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS ABOUT TO PICK UP THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF HIS CAREER!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Rich Russillo: MYLES GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!! HOW IS MYLES STILL IN THIS MATCH!?
Persephone: Good question. He sucks, I don’t know why this match is still on.
James Peters: Myles is super resilient, and I honestly don’t think that needs to be stated at this point. He’s always been like this and tonight is clearly no different. Jay Jerry Johnson is slowly getting back up to his feet, and at this point I think he is struggling to find a way to bring this match to an end, especially while his partner isn’t making things any easier for him! Jay Jerry Johnson is slowly pulling Myles up, AND I THINK JAY IS SETTING UP FOR THE ALT + F4!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES DOESN’T LET IT CONNECT THAT EASILY THOUGH! HE FREES ONE OF HIS ARMS BEFORE USING THE OTHER TO PULL JAY JERRY JOHNSON IN, RIGHT INTO A FOREARM SMASH!!! MYLES DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE DESPITE BEING THE ONE DELIVERING THE MOVE, AND NOW JAY JERRY JOHNSON HITS MYLES WITH A FOREARM! I think Myles’ exhaustion is really catching up with him, especially because he’s suffering from that cutter! Jay now grabbing Myles- AND MYLES HITS JAY WITH A RIGHT HAND!! NOW JAY HITS MYLES WITH ONE! NOW MYLES HITS JAY BACK! THESE TWO ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING IS PINNING EACH OTHER AND ENDING THE MATCH, NOT THIS!!!
James Peters: MYLES HITS JAY WITH A HARD HITTING ELBOW STRIKE, AND NOW HE GOES TO RUN THE ROPES, BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON DOES THE SAME WITH THE OPPOSITE PAIR OF ROPES-
(TAG!)
(TAG!)
(Both Myles and Jay Jerry Johnson stop in their tracks as Lucas Johnson and Brian Daniels slowly enter the ring. Brian Daniels has a grin on his face, looking right back at Myles as he enters the ring. Myles is obviously annoyed as he leaves the ring, but this doesn’t really compare to what’s going on between Lucas Johnson and Jay Jerry Johnson.)
Lucas Johnson: (off-mic) What are you doing?? Get out of the ring! You clearly don’t have this covered!
(Jay Jerry Johnson remains silent, but he stands his ground. Not just because he wants to, but because he is very clearly pissed off, and it’s taking everything out of him to try and remain calm.)
Lucas Johnson: (off-mic) Come on, the match should be over by now! Get out and let me finish this!
(Jay Jerry Johnson is pretty much holding himself back at this point as Lucas Johnson continues.)
James Peters: WAIT, LOOK!!! JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST HIT LUCAS WITH AN ELBOW AND DROPPED HIM TO THE MAT!!! JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST GOT ON TOP OF HIS FORMER PARTNER, AND NOW HE’S JUST TEARING APART THE MAN WE NOW KNOW ATTACKED FITZGERALD ALL THAT TIME AGO!!! LUCAS JOHNSON HURT JAY’S FRIEND AND NOW LUCAS MADE THE MISTAKE OF PISSING JAY OFF EVEN FURTHER, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S NOW HAVING TO PAY FOR IT AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST STARTS BEATING THE HELL OUT OF HIM, MAKING HIM PAY FOR ALL THAT HE’S DONE!!!
Rich Russillo: JAY JERRY JOHNSON BEGINS STOMPING AT LUCAS, KICKING AT HIM AND FORCING LUCAS TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING AS JAY QUICKLY FOLLOWS BEHIND!! JAY JERRY JOHNSON GRABS LUCAS AND SENDS HIM INTO THE BARRICADE, BEFORE PULLING HIM UP AND DELIVERING THE ALT + F4!!! THE ALT + F4 CONNECTS AT RINGSIDE, AND NOW JAY JERRY JOHNSON BEGINS WALKING AWAY, SEEMINGLY LEAVING HIS PARTNER FOR DEAD!!! Jay Jerry Johnson is walking out on this match, and it looks like he just handed the win to Myles and Brian Daniels!
(Jay Jerry Johnson makes his way around the ring and up the ramp, walking away without even looking back at the ring. Brian Daniels watches on, but Myles doesn’t seem to be paying as much attention to Jay Jerry Johnson, clearly thinking about something else. Brian Daniels just shrugs, pinning Lucas Johnson without much care.)
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
James Peters: WAIT!!!! WHAT!?!? MYLES JUST HIT BRIAN DANIELS WITH A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, BREAKING UP THE PIN!!! MYLES JUST BROKE UP THE PIN BEFORE BRIAN DANIELS COULD WIN THE MATCH FOR HIS TEAM!!!
Persephone: You’ve got to be kidding me, what the hell??
(Brian Daniels is holding his head as he rolls off of Lucas Johnson, and as he looks at Myles he clearly isn’t amused, which Myles obviously couldn’t care less about. Myles wasn’t just about to let Brian Daniels off easy after all Brian has done, especially not when Lucas Johnson didn’t even have a fighting chance in the end. The crowd can be heard cheering for Myles despite not even being fans of Lucas Johnson, and Myles doesn’t stop at just the knee strike.)
James Peters: MYLES REALLY JUST BROKE UP HIS OWN TEAMS PIN, ALL TO GET BACK AT BRIAN DANIELS!!! MYLES IS PULLING BRIAN UP, AND NOW HE LIFTS BRIAN UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH THE WRATH OF PANDORA!!!! WRATH OF PANDORA CONNECTS ON BRIAN DANIELS, AND MYLES IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BRIAN DANIELS’ DISTRACTION! ALL THIS TIME BRIAN DANIELS TALKED ABOUT MYLES NOT BEING A WORTHY CHAMPION AND HOW UNFOCUSED MYLES HAS BEEN, BUT BRIAN DANIELS THOUGHT HE WAS JUST BEING HANDED A VICTORY AND NOW THINGS HAVE COMPLETELY BLOWN UP IN HIS FACE, ALL BECAUSE OF HIS OWN PARTNER! Brian Daniels is out, but I don’t think he could believe what was going on when he saw Myles standing over him after that knee!
Rich Russillo: That’s right, but at the same time I can’t really blame Myles for doing this either! In the end it looks like Myles realizes that this match has completely blown up anyway, so now he’s just taking the opportunity to get back at the man who’s done nothing but try and terrorize him for the past month! Myles now pulling Brian Daniels up once more as the crowd continues to cheer, ONLY THIS TIME MYLES DROPS BRIAN WITH THE FINISHING MOVE!!! DE FACTO CONNECTS ON BRIAN DANIELS, AND NOW LOOK!!!!
(As the crowd cheers and Myles stands over Brian Daniels, the EAW World Champion looks at Lucas Johnson, who is still laid out after the attack from Jay Jerry Johnson. Myles looks at Brian one more time before looking back at him, and finally, Myles grabs Lucas and pulls his arm on top of Brian Daniels, before rolling out of the ring. The crowd immediately begins cheering loudly, basically in disbelief over Myles’ actions.)
James Peters: WAIT, WHAT!? WHAT IS MYLES DOING??
Rich Russillo: MYLES JUST PUT LUCAS’ ARM OVER BRIAN DANIELS!!! LUCAS JOHNSON HAS THE COVER THANKS TO MYLES, MYLES JUST HANDED BRIAN DANIELS HIS FIRST LOSS SINCE RETURNING!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here are your winners… LUUCCCAASSS JOHHNNNSSOONNNN AND JAYYYYY JERRRRYYYY JJOHNNSSOONNN!!!!
James Peters: MYLES JUST HANDED LUCAS JOHNSON POSSIBLY HIS BIGGEST WIN EVER!!! Myles couldn’t seem to care less about the match towards the end, and in turn used this as an opportunity to humiliate Brian Daniels just before Grand Rampage!!
Rich Russillo: Brian Daniels won’t be too happy about this one once he is conscious again, but let’s not forget that just moments ago Lucas would’ve been on the losing end of this match, because in just one night he pushed Jay Jerry Johnson to the point of wanting nothing to do with him!
Persephone: I’m just glad it’s over. That might actually have been the worst main event match I’ve seen in my life.
James Peters: Lucas Johnson has won this match, but right now I think the only real winner here might be Myles! Nonetheless, congratulations to Lucas and Jay Jerry Johnson!
(As Lucas Johnson is laid out on the mat, ‘Ready to Die’ begins to play. The crowd cheers despite Lucas Johnson winning, and that’s because the camera pans to Myles who is holding his EAW Championship with a smirk on his face. Myles begins walking up the ramp, having done all he needed to, as the camera focuses back on Lucas Johnson and Brian Daniels, both of which were attacked by their own partners. From there, Voltage fades out for the final time.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
