(EAW intro plays.)
(As always, the camera opens up to a recap of last week’s Voltage. The recap begins with Malcolm Jones celebrating his EAW Championship victory and announcing that he’ll defend his title at Battle of Egypt, before New Eden would interrupt and Drake King would announce that he’s not using his Grand Rampage victory. After this Lisa Wren would defeat Dante Hernandez, and after an attack by Tyson Zane Kensingten Calhoun-Astor, now going by Kensi, would come to save Lisa, who didn’t seem to take too kindly to her presence. Next, New Eden would have a confrontation with the Visual Prophet in the parking lot, who’d take out all three Elitists with a lead pipe. The action would return to the ring afterwards, as Envy Ellis defeats Greg Voltaire via submission. Backstage Shane Gates would seemingly get into a big disagreement with Lizzie the Doll, which is only worsened by Greg Voltaire as he asks Shane why he didn’t just drop Minerva in the Grand Rampage. Shane would look furious hearing Lizzie agree with Greg, and walk out on them. After this Sierra Bradford defeats Holly Arrow, and afterwards all six competitors of the No Way Out match to determine the Universal Women’s Championship number one contender for Pain for Pride would be revealed, with Miku Sakai, Ms. Extreme, Harper Lee, Raven Roberts, Andrea Valentine, and Alexis Chambers. Next, Candice Blair would defeat Tyson Zane, and she’d have a small confrontation with Sierra Bradford afterwards ahead of their upcoming match. After this Cameron Ella Ava makes her return to Voltage, making it clear that it doesn’t matter what people think of her and that she’s going to give everyone she faces the best match of their career. The recap then goes to a segment between TLA and Steroid Dawg as TLA catches Steroid Dawg with posters of Jennipurr, and as Jennipurr enters the Poon Palace TLA is tricked with a bomb full of glitter thanks to Ahren Fournier. After this IDOL-GUN defeats Chained Fury to retain the Unified Tag Team Championships, and Chained Fury gets into a big argument afterwards, seemingly falling out. Afterwards Rex McAllister in an interview says that he’s taking up Malcolm’s EAW Championship challenge, and Malcolm agrees to face Rex at Battle of Egypt. In the main event, the dysfunctional team of Dr. Bethany Blue and Constance Blevins defeat the Corona Hombres as Ahren Fournier accidentally took out Terry Chambers and got into a fight with TLA, but Dr. Bethany Blue would make sure to tag herself in and steal the pin to get the win. After the match Constance Blevins would snap, destroying Dr. Bethany Blue as the show comes to an end.)
(The camera finally fades to the World 1 Theatre as Voltage’s theme ‘33rd Blakk Glass’ by Sosmula and ZillaKami begins to play. As always the virtual fans are cheering as they see themselves on screen, and the camera continues to pan around the World 1 Theatre before finally cutting to the commentary area, where James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone Tsitsipas are seated.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen… Welcome back to Sunday Night Voltage! We’re one week away from Battle of Egypt, and I just can’t wait to get there! Before that though we have one huge Voltage coming up, and I guarantee that this is going to be a great night!
Rich Russillo: Agreed. The matches on the card tonight look amazing. I mean, have you all seen the main event!?
Persephone: Rexy isn’t in it, so I couldn’t really care less about that match.
(Inside the World 1 Theatre, “Scenario” by Pop Smoke plays into the World 1 Theatre to a wild reception, as the audience knows that Malcolm is on his way out! With the EAW World Championship strapped around his waist, he comes walking out from the back and to the stage where he takes a moment to soak in the reaction to his presence. He looks around to take in his surroundings and the faces of the fans that know they must be in for something from the champ after last week’s drama that took place.)
James Peters: Ahead of his match later with Cameron and Viz against New Eden, Malcolm doesn’t look to be in the mood for games right now as he comes down to the ring.
Rich Russillo: Seeing as how Drake King is threatening to withhold a main event match from Pain for Pride, it’s easy to understand why he’d be feeling the way he is. Malcolm has every intention of headlining the event in Voltage’s main event – how the match can be expected to go on without Drake’s cooperation though, I’m not sure.
Persephone: But let’s not forget that it won’t even be Malcolm in the main event when it finally comes down to it. He has to defend against Rex at Battle of Egypt, and I have no doubt that Rex will ensure that we don’t have to worry about Malcolm being in a match no one wants to see.
James Peters: But that still wouldn’t solve the Drake issue and how that’s going to end up being handled. Can the Pain for Pride main event really happen without him?
Persephone: Sure it can! And when Rex would end up winning that match anyway, too? The way I see it, it just then leaves Rex to go into Pain for Pride uncontested, and what’s the problem in that? I don’t see one, that’s for sure – me and Rex can have a live sex celebration instead to commemorate his big achievement
(Malcolm enters the ring after retrieving a microphone and he comes to stand in the middle of the canvas, shaking his head as he clearly has a lot to get off his mind. Last week’s shock announcement from Drake about having no intention of allowing the main event from Voltage to take place at Pain for Pride is still something that Malcolm is trying to make sense of all this time later.)
Malcolm Jones: For as long as I’ve been in this company, all of you know that I’ve had to hear a lot of stupid shit leave from the mouths of so-called Elitists and I’ve seen a lot of stupid shit go down. So much that I wouldn’t even know where the fuck to start. But Drake King winning the Grand Rampage and then coming out here the other week to say that he’s hijacking the main event of Pain for Pride?! Saying he won’t compete just may be the dumbest shit that’s ever come out of that weirdo’s mouth, which is really saying a lot when you think about it, because in no world does it make any sense for me to not be headlining the biggest event of the year. I know the Board had to hold back on not practically throwing a fucking parade when I became the EAW World Champion again, because even they know that I’m the biggest draw and that I’m the one that’ll have people actually giving a fuck; the Board know they’re not about to let Money Makin’ Malc not do my thing and be in the main event as I should be.
Malcolm Jones: But that’s exactly what everyone should know that this bullshit from Drake – which is exactly that, just pure bullshit – isn’t gonna keep me from going to Pain for Pride. See, whether Drake is my opponent or not, I’m gonna have a match and this EAW World Championship WILL be defended! If Drake wants to be the idiot who got himself a World Title shot just for it to be all for nothing, then that’s gonna be on him and he can watch from the sidelines knowing his protesting wasn’t changing shit – but more importantly, my reign sure as fuck isn’t about to be effected by his dumbass decisions. All that matters now is coming to a decision for how I’m gonna get that new opponent, because I’m far from being someone who can be allowed to miss Pain for Pride or defending this title there. That’s why I’m not bothered, I’m not worried at all because I’m the whole reason why there’s gonna be an EAW World Championship match going on at Pain for Pride, and that’s that-
(“Champion” by Barnes Courtney sends the crowd erupting into cheers as, after last week, they know that Rex and Malcolm are due to meet at Battle of Egypt with the EAW World Championship on the line. Rex appears on the stage with a nod of his head, seemingly looking satisfied with what he’s heard from Malcolm.)
Persephone: Ugh, finally! I almost thought for a second there that we were about to have to hear Malcolm keep talking as if he’ll even be the champion by the time Pain for Pride rolls around, but here comes Rex to the rescue!!!!!
James Peters: Their match is surely going to be hotly contested, as we’ll be watching two of the best ever compete for the EAW World Championship! Their approaches may be vastly different but inside the ring, it becomes easy to understand why they’re both so highly touted!
(Rex comes down the entrance aisle and enters the ring with a microphone, but it’s quite obvious that Malcolm doesn’t appreciate the interruption from his challenger. Rex stands across from the champion, not at all showing any hesitancy despite the look he’s getting from Malcolm.)
Rex McAllister: Honestly, Malcolm, I heard you come out here and say all that you had to say about the whole obnoxious Drake situation – and I can’t even really begin to say how great it was to hear you say that you’re so determined to see an EAW World Championship match happen at Pain for Pride. Because I have to agree that there has to be one – Drake being a part of it doesn’t really matter, when that match and Pain for Pride itself are so much bigger than him. There’s already more than enough importance and significance that shows that the show can go on with or without him – he’s not going to be someone who holds up the entire event with his preaching and babbling about nothing, when there are plenty of us who’d be more than happy to take his spot and main event in his place. But the difference between me and him is that I wouldn’t be walking into Pain for Pride as the challenger, because I’ll be doing it as the EAW World Champion.
(The crowd cheers as Rex points right to the championship that’s around Malcolm’s waist, declaring his Pain for Pride intentions and plans for winning over Malcolm at Battle of Egypt. Malcolm, however, isn’t fazed and rolls his eyes unenthused with the thought of Rex taking his place whether that’s simply as EAW World Champion or in the Pain for Pride main event.)
Rex McAllister: Winning at Battle of Egypt would mean a third EAW World Title reign, but more than that, it would mean main eventing Pain for Pride for a fourth time straight. Doing that? That’s something that people just dream of, but for me, it’s something that’s within reach. I didn’t make my intentions for the EAW World Championship a secret and I didn’t exactly draw back on the idea of being the one who takes that title from you at Battle of Egypt, either, because I know what I’m capable of and I know what I can do. Grand Rampage didn’t play out in my favor and that ended up being a failure for everyone with how Drake is handling that victory – but there’s more than one way for me to ensure that I’m the one in the main event, and of course, I’m taking my shot at the opportunity. You already think I’m just lined up to be your first successful defense, Malcolm, but there’s no better person to beat than someone who thinks that they can’t be fucked with.
Malcolm Jones: Are you done? Because all you’re doing is wasting my time right now. Me coming out here to tell everyone – and Drake, especially – that I’m still gonna main event Pain for Pride wasn’t an invitation for you to bring your ass out here and take up space in the ring for no reason. You’re out here for what, Rex? To try to talk yourself up and make it seem like you’re actually gonna take what’s mine? Get the fuck out of here! No way am I losing in my first defense and no way in hell am I gonna lose to you. It’s already known that I’m better than that, I’m better than you – and the way I know how to actually get people invested and still back it all up just helps to prove that. Drake and New Eden getting what they wanted out of Grand Rampage all comes back on everyone who failed to actually fucking do something about it – that doesn’t mean you’re suddenly gonna turn around and try to rectify that with a win over me as if that’s what this brand or this company needs right now on top of one crazy fucker already trying to ruin everything.
Rex McAllister: Maybe that’s not what you want, Malcolm, but just because you say that and try to pass it off like it’s a fact doesn’t make it truthful. The outcome of Grand Rampage was the last thing myself or anyone wanted to see happen. I was among the many who made my stand against New Eden and they still got what they wanted in the end, but that doesn’t mean that that was the end for me. We’re always gonna be two different guys with different ways of going about things – you’ve got your way and I’ve got mine, and mine led to me main eventing Pain for Pride three times now. I’ve seen my way to plenty of accomplishments, achievements that most people don’t have and are still trying to see their way to – I know what I can bring to the table and I’m going to stay confident in that no matter what you have to say. I’ve been one of the best and while this season hasn’t been the high I would’ve wanted it to be coming off of last year’s Pain for Pride win, I’m not letting that stop me from going out and taking my chances when I see a moment to have for myself. Battle of Egypt is where I can put myself right on the Pain for Pride card without having to wonder where I fit into everything.
(For the first time since Rex has come out to the ring, Malcolm looks genuinely amused by what Rex has had to say. Rex is unmoved though, still serious and still unbothered by anything that Malcolm has had to say since his arrival. Malcolm sighs into his microphone, a clearly unimpressed expression on his face as he looks Rex up and down for a quick moment before he speaks once again.)
Malcolm Jones: Imagine being one of the lame fucks around here biting their nails talking and stressing about where they’ll fall on the Pain for Pride card because they don’t know which direction they’re going in. Could never be me. Look fam. No one wants to see Vanilla Rex have another boring ass title reign. We gotta stop this shit. You had your little moment where you had to defeat Andrea and you got past her to finally get your win in a main event – switch me and her out though and you wouldn’t have been seeing shit had that been me defending the title. But we saw you win and look at where that went – you didn’t do shit and had a reign that ended up being a letdown, but that’s just the reaction everyone has whether you’re winning or losing because all anyone can do is shrug knowing they aren’t gonna care too much in the end. You think anyone cared about you versus Andrea? You think anyone cared about you going away for that little bit of time after you lost to SOSA? Trust me when I say that people are gonna be lining up to thank me when I keep your ass away from another Pain for Pride main event come Battle of Egypt.
Rex McAllister: I can’t say I’m surprised this is your reaction but I’m sure you wouldn’t be having all this to say if you’d actually been one of the losing people who’d competed in Grand Rampage. But you beat Terry and what’s done is done, good for you, you’re the one holding all the gold now. But really, Malcolm, all that means for the time being is that you’re the one that I’ll be taking that championship from now. You don’t know what it would really mean for me to be back in the main event – not just for this season, but for all I’ve done to put in the work to have made my career one for the Hall of Fame. Whether I’m the one who ends up facing Drake or if I’m facing someone else as I walk in the defending champion, in the main event is where I’m going to be at the end of all this and I’m not planning for you to be the one who puts a stop to that. Things didn’t look clear immediately after Grand Rampage, but Battle of Egypt and this EAW World Championship match is where everyone sees just how quickly things can change. You got your second World Title and now I’m coming to collect on my fourth World Championship – I’d say congratulations on the “reign”, champ, but it’s starting to look like I’m about to end it before it could ever really get going.
(“Champion” by Barnes Courtney begins to play again and the two men meet in the middle of the ring, staring each other down as Rex drops his microphone while Malcolm takes the EAW World Championship from around his waist and raises it up over his head.)
James Peters: Malcolm and Rex definitely won’t be holding back when Battle of Egypt comes around! This is an EAW World Championship match that’ll have everyone looking on and wondering just who’ll be in the main event between the two of them!
Persephone: It’ll be Rex, duh! I’m not sure why that was even a thing to question when Rex knows that him being the one to headline the EAW World Title main event is something that the world needs to see – we’re literally all counting him to show that he’s the only one worthy enough, and I’m sure he’ll pull through!
Rich Russillo: But will Drake have anything to say about all this? He vowed to ensure that Voltage wouldn’t have a main event at Pain for Pride and it sounds like the Board is just going to find someone to take his place if he doesn’t change his mind. Malcolm versus Rex has the potential to be an amazing match at Battle of Egypt, but where we go afterward could be up in the air! If there’s anything else we get out of these two facing for the EAW World Title next week besides a Match of the Year candidate, I’m hoping our main event for Pain for Pride becomes clear :lupe:.
(Malcolm and Rex remain in the ring, still staring each other down and speaking to each other off-mic, still letting the other know that neither of them plans on losing or backing down. While it’s clear that neither of them are any less sure of themselves, maybe even more energized about their upcoming match-up and their own chances, the scene in the ring eventually begins to fade out to commercial.)
(The camera fades to a promotional ad for Battle of Egypt, highlighting the EAW Championship match between Malcolm Jones and Rex McAllister.)
(“Spotlight Savior” by Iggy Azalea blasts through the speakers as the Universal Women’s Champion herself, Darcy May Morgan comes out with the title on her shoulder. Darcy has a huge grin on her face as she raises the title high over her head and makes it down the ramp. The crowd gives a mixed ovation to the champion.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… THE EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… “THE LEADING LADY”…DARCY MAY MORGAN!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: At Battle of Egypt, Darcy May Morgan will finally know who will face her at Pain for Pride for the Universal Women’s Championship. But, that doesn’t mean that the champion takes a day off as she takes on Hall of Famer, Cameron Ella Ava, who returned at Grand Rampage from a career-ending injury?
Persephone: Wasn’t it maternity leave?
James Peters: It was maybe both, but whatever it is, it was something that I thought would never see, but Cameron Ella Ava will take part in our main event as she teams with Dynasty’s The Visual Prophet and EAW Champion, Malcolm Jones to take on New Eden, but right now, Darcy May Morgan comes out to speak a bit about Battle of Egypt. It should be interesting to see what she has to say.
(Darcy May Morgan is in the middle of the ring as Bella Braxton hands her microphone to the Universal Women’s Champion. Darcy’s entrance music dies down as the crowd gives a mixed ovation for the champion herself, but Darcy is all confidence and smiles.)
Darcy May Morgan: I had on Dynasty the other night and lo and behold, it was a match between Alexis Chambers and Harper Lee. Now, the match was a pretty good back-and-forth, but did anyone really believe that Alexis Chambers would win the match? :mjlol: There was a part of me that wondered why this match was being showcased when the result was obvious and Harper would find a way to weasel out with the victory. Once I was done watching the match and scouting my potential Pain for Pride competition, it hit me — Harper may be one of the favorites. :oh:
(The crowd gives a mixed reception, not really sure what to do with the news, but Harper Lee’s new mean streak makes them consider something.)
Darcy May Morgan: I know, it seems like a random pick as you look at the other contenders in this match, but Harper Lee was someone who put on a decent showing at Shock Value. She dropped 121 pounds of weight at Reckless Wiring and feels like a new woman all of a sudden. She’s fully embraced the mean streak and with that, I hope comes with a killer instinct that is well-suited for a structure such as the No Way Out Match. It seems like dropping that dead weight in Sierra Bradford was the best decision of her career and I’m all about people reinventing themselves and finding that new edge to themselves. There is a part of me that feels like Harper Lee is going to be someone to look out for. From what she was able to do to Alexis on Dynasty, I’ll be keeping my eye on her.
(Darcy May Morgan chuckles as she continues on with her promo.)
Darcy May Morgan: One of the other favorites seems like it would make sense to a lot of people and it’s Ms. Extreme.
(The crowd pops for an obvious favorite in Ms. Extreme before Darcy May Morgan continues on with her promo.)
Darcy May Morgan: Now, she’s a woman who has managed to duck me all season long. We had one match earlier this season, but we never had a clear winner. It’s always made me think about what would happen if the two of us face off again? Will we find the clear winner? Will Ms. Extreme have Darcy May Morgan steal another one of her moments as I leave Inglewood, California STILL Universal Women’s Champion? It’s a few things that I need to think about, but I’ll be keeping my eye on Camille versus Miku later tonight. But with Camille, this is either do or die for her. How many times is she going to be telling everyone that she is going to become World Champion and she never does? We’ve all been getting impatient. I, for one, have been getting impatient, wondering when we are going to step into the same ring again, but we’ll see if she succeeds next weekend.
Darcy May Morgan: Now, the ‘Face of Women’s Wrestling’ isn’t going to knock down on the rest of the competition going into the match. There are three other women in the match that could surprise everyone and be the one to face me at Pain for Pride. Miku Sakai was handed a spot in the Women’s No Way Out match as a consolation prize after her partner was given a spot in a Grand Rampage match. I’ve defeated her partner earlier this season and I don’t mind defeating the other member of IDOL-GUN. Also, I would consider Andrea Valentine and Ray-Ray Roberts as favorites, but the whole entire mess between the two of those is kinda… :yikes: What a glorified mess that is, but it’s always the nice ones that you gotta keep an eye on. They will always find a way to stab you in the back, but you’ve never been the one to pick good friends, Ray-Ray. If Raven and Andrea can focus on the match and not one each other, I think that one of them could pull this off.
Darcy May Morgan: As much as I may give all the women in the No Way Out match a hard time, I do hope that all of these women go out here and give a show, prove how important becoming Universal Women’s Champion is to all of them. I want them to pour everything into that ring. Impress me, move me, do something that is going to stand out from the rest of the competition. Steal the show — not only for women’s wrestling as a whole, but for the ‘Face of Women’s Wrestling.’ I don’t know about you, but I’m more than pumped for Battle of Egypt. Not only for the Women’s No Way Out match, the same match which will determine my Pain for Pride opponent, but I’m excited about my match at Battle of Egypt. I’m going up against a woman, who was considered as the ‘Face of Women’s Wrestling’ during her time. Someone who came back from a traumatic, career-ending injury and now finds herself in an FPV main event two weeks after returning back. Honestly, I have the utmost respect for her, but barely had the chance to chat with her, but we’re going to change that now. Cameron, I know you’re in the back preparing for tonight’s main event, but why don’t you come out here and get to know each other?
(The crowd reacts in anticipation as “ULTRAnumb” by Blue Stahli blasts through the speakers. Darcy May Morgan forms a smirk on her face as Cameron Ella Ava, dressed in her ring gear comes out. The commentators are heard talking in the background as Cameron makes her way towards the ring. She grabs a microphone from the timekeeper and stands across Darcy in the ring. Her entrance music dies down.)
Cameron Ella Ava: You called?
Darcy May Morgan: I did. I know that it would have been easier to shoot you a DM on Twitter or Instagram, but I don’t think that’s what the people deserve. No, the people deserve a lot more, Cameron. They deserve to be in the presence of the past and current faces of women’s wrestling. It’s what makes this match so intriguing to me. I have been wanting all season and most specifically, in this championship reign for more competition. You, Cameron, are that competition that I’ve wanted all season. I have wanted an opponent like you to test my capabilities as a wrestler. I am capable of a lot more, but I haven’t had the competition that has been able to bring that out of me. I could only name a few women on my set of fingers to say that they’ve elevated me the way I wanted to be elevated. I do believe that you will be the one person that helps bring the best out of me. You are someone who has done so much for women’s wrestling. You are one of the pioneers of women’s wrestling along with Sabina and Kendra Shamez. You have done so much for women’s wrestling and are a true inspiration to the locker room. Your match with Cleopatra at Pain for Pride 6; your ability to make milestones like becoming the first woman to qualify for Cash in the Vault at Pain for Pride 7. The same match I would win last year and cash in to become the Universal Women’s Champion. These are just a fraction of the things that you were able to accomplish during your tenure in this company. You carried the mantle of the ‘Face of Women’s Wrestling’ to the best of your abilities. We all see the hardwork that you’ve put in and you go down as an all-time great.
(Darcy May Morgan beamed as her faces goes neutral.)
Darcy May Morgan: But, that was the past, Cameron. You were the ‘Face of Women’s Wrestling’ in the past. But, no need to fear, Darcy May Morgan has been here, taking care of women’s wrestling, carrying the whole women’s division on her back and proving to be the best damn thing that this company has to offer. But, Cameron, I do admire the fact that you returned from maternity leave and are trying to take out the bitch who has been on top of this division since February. That takes a lot of courage. You have a lot more balls than a lot of the women that I’ve faced during my time in this company. You have more balls than a majority of the men in this company, but I’m not surprised about that. When I saw that I was going to face you at Battle of Egypt, my face lit up. This was something that I’ve been waiting for to happen and do you know what I have to say about that? Bring it on, Ava. Honestly, bring it on. I know what a victory over a woman, who is as accomplished as you means for someone like me. Beating you places me in a whole different playing field to the rest. It cements me as someone who is not fucking around with trying to create herself with a bit of a legacy in this company. A legacy that will never be forgotten. A legacy that should make every woman in that No Way Out Match worry about how they will compare to me at Pain for Pride. I am one of the women who is not afraid to say what a victory over Cameron Ella Ava means to me. I’m not going to lie and state that it won’t do anything for me. It will do so much for me. To become the true face of women’s wrestling, I need to defeat you, Cameron.
Darcy May Morgan: At Battle of Egypt, ‘Wonder’ Cam is going to see who ‘Super’ Darcy really is as she pins you to the mat — one, two, three. Victory is mine.
(Darcy May Morgan stares down at Cameron Ella Ava who has a small smirk on her face as she returns Darcy’s stare to her.)
Cameron Ella Ava: That’s cute; that’s really cute, Darcy — ‘Wonder’ Cam, ‘Super’ Darcy, I really couldn’t care less about what people are calling this match. ‘Wonder Cam’ versus ‘Super Darcy,’ ‘Past Face of Women’s Wrestling’ versus ‘Current Face of Women’s Wrestling,’ ‘The Goddess’ versus ‘The Leading Lady.’ It doesn’t matter what cute nicknames that people will have for this match, but it’s the same statement for it all — I’m not here to lose, tonight or next weekend at Battle of Egypt. Battle of Egypt serves a purpose to me and that purpose is to prove to everyone that I am ready for the Pain for Pride stage. There’s a lot of talk about whether I’ll be in Pain for Pride shape going into Inglewood, but defeating you, should get rid of all of that talk as people will have their answer. After I defeat you, Darcy, no one is going to deny me the right to compete at Pain for Pride, on the stage of my hometown. It’s nice to see someone be so proud of being the ‘Face of Women’s Wrestling.’ I’m glad that you’re doing your thing as the Universal Women’s Champion, but as you said so yourself, you haven’t been challenged enough. You have been waiting all season for some competition to come your way and bring something out of you that you haven’t seen from yourself yet. I’m hoping to be that woman that brings that different side of you on time for Pain for Pride, but I’m not just ‘competition’ for you, Darcy. We got yourselves a nice, little, main event spot and it’s a spot that I’m familiar with. This is the position on the card that I’m more than at home in. If you really want to be considered as the true ‘Face of Women’s Wrestling,’ defeating me is a step in the right direction. Defeating me gets the spotlight on you that always craves and defeating me is going to be something impressive to put in your resume.
Cameron Ella Ava: As I said, I’m not going to Cairo to lose to anyone. I have a reputation for myself that I need to maintain and that’s I can hang with anyone in the squared circle. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or woman, but I’ll knock them all down. Even you, Darcy. There is a part of me that would find joy in knocking you down a peg or two. I don’t say that out of hatred. I say that because I want to test you. I want you to bring something into the match that we haven’t seen from you, Darcy. I want your very best. I seem like a miracle worker, but trust me, I work great with a great opponent. :mjcry: I also work great knowing how much money I’m going to get paid for this event, but…that’s not the point. I’m excited about this match. We’re both confident that this is going to be a Match of the Year contender. It has the potential of being something great, but from the grin on your face, Darcy, you know the greatness that the two of us can pour into that ring, but I am greatness in general. I’ve always been great — in wrestling, on the microphone, in motherhood, as a business woman. I am great at anything that I set my mind too. With that, I wish you luck, Darcy. May the best woman win.
(Cameron Ella Ava extends her hand out for Darcy May Morgan to shake. Darcy shakes Cameron’s hand with no hesitation as the two women smile and nod at each other. Cameron goes to pull away, but Darcy hangs on. There’s an intense staredown between the two women. Despite a bit of respect shown between the two of them, they still know how important it is for both of them to win at Battle of Egypt. Darcy cracks a big smile as Cameron cracks a small smile as well before nodding each other after some small talk between the two of them.)
James Peters: I’m actually kind of excited for this match. I think this match is going to steal the entire event!
Persephone: We’re not looking at the EAW Championship match.
(Voltage fades out, and the camera cuts to a commercial promoting J. Cole’s “The Off-Season” featuring Andre Walker.)
(Gun shots are heard as the LAX theme music plays. The crowd give a mixed reaction, but Dante and his three gangbangers dressed like him pay them no attention. Together, they begin to make their way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS OPENING MATCH ON VOLTAGE AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK… WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNDS… HE IS DANTE HERNANDEZ!!!!
James Peters: We saw Dante debut last week against Lisa Wren, he was very impressive but fell a little short and Lisa was able to get the huge win.
Rich Russillo: He gets another chance and this time against an EAW Legend and Showdown’s own, The Woogieman!
Persephone: This is boring.
(As Dante poses in the ring, his music dies down and If Ya Smell By Adam Massare starts to play as the crowd cheers.)
Bella Braxton: HIS OPPONENT IS FROM JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA! WEIGHING IN AT 260 POUNDS! HE IS THE WOOGIEMAN!!!!
(The Woogieman comes out, looking at the crowd before making his way to the ring, everyone cheers as the Virtual crowd is excited to see the Woogieman, who climbs to the second rope, poses and drops down.)
James Peters: The Woogieman is on Voltage to take on Dante Hernandez and the newcomer doesn’t know what to make of Woogie!
Rich Russillo: He really doesn’t, and Woogie is fired up, he has put on some great matches recently and now he graces us here on Voltage!
Persephone: And this is the opening match? We have a long night ahead of us.
(DING!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(The referee checks both wrestlers as he calls for the bell. Woogie stops, telling Dante to Bring It! The Puerto Rican Assassin circles the ring as they both lock up but Woogie is too strong, pushing Dante halfway across the ring! Dante gets up shocked, nods and circles again as they lock up one more time, but Woogie pushes him back again and this time Dante slams the canvas, he charges Woogie….)
James Peters: WOOGIE PICKS UP DANTE IN A BODYSLAM! DANTE GETS BACK UP AND WOOGIE WITH ANOTHER BODYSLAM! HOW AMAZING IS THIS!? THE WOOGIEMAN WITH A CHOP AND DANTE GOES DOWN! HE IS BACK UP AND WOOGIE WITH SOME DEVASTATING SLAPS OVER AND OVER AS DANTE IS BACKED UP TO THE ROPES! IRISH WHIPS HIM AND BACK BODY DROP! DANTE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND TYSON GOES TO CHECK ON HIM!
Persephone: Good, maybe this boring ass match will end quickly! And this is the first match!? Ugh…. I hate my life!
(Dante is being tended to by his fellow brothers, but Woogie rolls out of the ring, Dante sees the big man coming as he is being chased by Woogie, running around the whole way sliding into the ring, Woogie slides in with him, gets up, Dante with a clothesline, stuns Woogie, he falls back a little, high knee stunning Woogie…)
Rich Russillo: Dante now taking advantage, he grabs Woogie, picks him up for a bodyslam… NO! Woogie fell behind Dante, he turns and Woogie with another slap! NO! Dante blocks it, kick to the midsection, DDT! Woogie is down and Dante goes for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Woogie kicks out! Dante almost had it there and he is not working by the hour, he picks up Woogie, throwing him into the turnbuckle, Dante charging in, WOOGIE WITH THE BOO… NO! Danter catches it, huge elbow on the knee! Woogie limps out of the corner, T-BONE SUPLEX BY DANTE HERNANDEZ! Woogie is down and Dante is now stalking his prey, running against the ropes, a huge elbow! He rolls back to his feet, a huge knee and Woogie is still down, Dante though grabs the leg, he flips over Woogie with the single crab, and this is good strategy, slow down Woogie, work on his legs, he has been on fire tonight!
Persephone: This is going to drag on, isn’t it!?
Rich Russillo: Dante is slowing down Woogie who is in a lot of pain right now! He is trying to take away his legs, a smart strategy by the newcomer, as Woogie had control of this match, he wants to show just how he can roll with the rest of them, and after last week Dante has something to prove. Wrenching back on the leg, Dante is trying to really incapacitate Woogie, he is really hurting right now!
Persephone: Good, but come on, this is Woogie we are talking about.
Rich Russillo: Woogieman is a legend!
Persephone: Right, and Raven Roberts is cute , stop.
(Dante continues to wrench back on the leg of Woogie as the crowd starts to cheer, he slowly starts to get up, using the power of the fans to plant his hands on the mat and slowly lift himself up, he is trying his best but Dante wrenches back harder, Woogie with a huge scream and then he…..)
Rich Russillo: POWERS OUT! Woogieman powered out and now Dante loses his grip and falls forward! Woogieman is getting back to his feet, he is hobbling a little, NO! TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER! WOOGIE LANDED HARD ON HIS BACK OVER DANTE’S KNEE! HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: STAY DOWN WOOGIE!!!!
James Peters: WOOGIE KICKS OUT! It seems like he doesn’t has an answer to everything that Dante is throwing at him, but the fiery Puerto Rican is on top of Woogie! He is punching him with closed fists as the referee is trying to stop it, Woogie has a busted lip! The referee starts to count Dante!
1!
2!
3!
4!
(Dante stops and gets up, arguing with the referee, getting right up in his face but the official warns him, Tyson hops on the apron, and turns, just as Dante drops down and chokes Woogie blatantly! Woogie is kicking and trying to break free but he continues to choke him while the referee is preoccupied.)
James Peters: Dante is choking out Woogie! His fellow brothers in the mask have the referee distracted and look how hard he is choking him out, damn it! Woogie is fading! The referee needs to turn around!
Persephone: No he doesn’t, choke his ass out!
Rich Russillo: Woogie is in bad shape! Wait, the referee turns around, Dante quickly releases and paces, he waits and picks up Woogieman, running against the ropes, basement dropkick right to the face of Woogie! He is down and goes for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THRE…..
Persephone: HOW DID HE GET THE SHOULDER UP!?
James Peters: WOOGIEMAN WITH LIFE! Dante Hernandez doesn’t know what to do here with the Woogieman! He picks up Woogie, devastating snap suplex and he is going to the top rope! Dante is perched up, FLIP OVER LEG DROP…. NO! WOOGIE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! Dante gets up, he is holding his buttocks in pain, Woogie with some stiff rights, peppering Dante, he is backing up to the ropes, Woogie with a whip, Dante bounces back, HUGE SPINEBUSTER! WAIT….. WOOGIEMAN IS GOING FOR THE PEOPLE’S ELBOW! HE TAKES OFF THE PAD AND THROWS IT TO THE VIRTUAL CROWD BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES-
Rich Russillo: THE DARK!!!! MINERVA SOMEHOW SLID INTO THE RING AND SHE SPRAYED THE DARK IN WOOGIE’S EYES! HERE IS MYLES KICKING THE FALLEN DANTE AT THE SAME TIME BEFORE GETTING BEHIND WOOGIE! THE KANGAROO KILLER ON WOOGIE AND HE DROPS TO THE MAT!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
James Peters: THE REFEREE HAS CALLED FOR THE BELL AND THROWN OUT THE MATCH! MINERVA PICKS UP DANTE HERNANDEZ, HOISTING HIM UP FOR THE ATLAS FALLS! LOOK AT HER, JUST LAYING ON TOP OF HIM, BEFORE STANDING UP WITH MYLES, THEY LOOK AT THEIR FALLEN PREY WITH DISGUST AND MINERVA HANDS MYLES A MIC!
(Minerva gives the mic to Myles before they passionately kiss over the fallen Dante Hernandez and The Woogieman.)
Myles: We have something to say, but before we do?
Minerva: Would you be a doll and get these pieces of shit out of our ring?
Myles: With pleasure.
(Myles kicks Dante out of the ring, he grabs Woogie and picks him up, launching him over the top rope. Minerva smirks and gives him back the mic.)
Myles: As I was saying, Minerva and I were preparing for tonight’s main event with Drake, but before that we had a little message of our own to send, because while tonight we’re facing Malcolm Jones, Cameron Ella Ava and the Visual Prophet, SOSA Henderson has no choice but to sit and watch. SOSA Henderson won’t be getting in the ring until Battle of Egypt, and I hope SOSA knows that if he DOES get in that ring he’ll be making a huge mistake. Then again, SOSA’s been making mistakes for a long time now. SOSA’s mistakes made Terry Chambers EAW Champion. SOSA’s mistakes cost him the last time he faced me one on one. His mistakes cost him the chance to even compete in the Grand Rampage match, and soon enough they’re going to cost him again. SOSA, why didn’t you stay down, mate? Why didn’t you take the beating like a man and walk away? If it weren’t for you these two wouldn’t have to take a complete ass-kicking while boring us all to death at the same time. You wouldn’t have to go through what you’re bound to at Battle of Egypt. It was easy, SOSA, just walk away, but no, you just had to challenge me in Egypt. I guess this means I will have to finish the job, but I will say this, you missed a hell of a Grand Rampage. New Eden dominated, we were there to the bitter end. Everyone here thought that our message would fall on deaf ears, it is such a shame that you had to miss out on it.
Minerva: Tragic. No really it was, we could have eliminated him and made it 14.
Myles: Did you hear that!? FOURTEEN, over half the Rampage excluding us was tossed over the top by NEW EDEN, so now you want to come out here and claim to want and face me in Egypt? After everything people said about New Eden going into that match we took out the majority of the Grand Rampage match, eliminating the likes of the Visual Prophet, Lethal Consequences, Ronn Banks, Impact, you name it! Do you REALLY want to do this? Fine, your death warrant, but just remember one thing, watch closely what happens in the Main Event tonight. When we destroy Malcolm Jones, The Visual Prophet and Cameron Ella Ava, take it as a preview of what’s coming up. You could’ve avoided all of this just by staying down, but if you really want to make your own life harder then I’ll give you what you want. I’ll give you the fight you’re looking for. I’ll give you the chance to get revenge, but just know SOSA things aren’t going to go how you want them to, just like always. You thought you’d recapture the EAW Championship, and you couldn’t. You thought you could win the Grand Rampage match, and you couldn’t. Things NEVER go to plan for you SOSA and I thought you’d learn that by now, but I’m more than willing to be the one that finally gives you that reality check. I hope you’re ready SOSA, because Battle of Egypt it not going to be a fun night for you.
(Myles drops the mic as “Enemy Strike” starts to play throughout the arena. Minerva rubs his chest and smirks, before walking up to the camera lens and licking it, then laughing as she follows Myles out of the ring, he kicks Woogieman who is still down for good measure while Minerva watches and smirks.)
James Peters: Statement made and delivered, tonight it is going to be a war and come Battle of Egypt 2, SOSA and Myles will Clash, Minerva in his corner. He gave out a warning, I hope SOSA is ready.
Rich Russillo: Minerva is the factor in the match, SOSA better stay home.
Persephone: I hate them.
(Minerva follows Myles out as they stop, look back at the damage done as trainers go out to check on Dante and Woogie, they kiss once again, laughing, making their way toward the back.)
(The camera fades backstage, where Sierra Bradford is seen preparing for her upcoming match against Darcy May Morgan. She’s shaking her head as she looks to be thinking about something, likely her upcoming match against Candice Blair next week and everything she’s had to deal with when it comes to Candice. Sierra’s clearly had enough but she’s trying to keep her mind off of it for now as she continues getting ready for the match. She’s not able to keep her mind away from the situation too long though, as she’s soon interrupted. As soon Sierra notices who it is, she prepares herself knowing things likely won’t end well.)
Sierra Bradford: What? What do you want? There’s still a week until Battle of Egypt, you know that right?
(Candice Blair walks up to Sierra Bradford, but it becomes clear that Candice isn’t looking for a fight.)
Candice Blair: Sierra, things really didn’t have to be like this. This whole time all I wanted was to help-
Sierra Bradford: Just save it. You never wanted to help me, Candice. There’s so many other people on the roster you could be annoying with your bullshit but instead you chose me. I could’ve been doing anything else with my career right now. Anything else. I could’ve been in the title picture. I could’ve been rebuilding myself after all the shit that happened since King of Elite. I could’ve been doing so much more but instead here I am getting ready to face you next week all because you refuse to leave me alone. I told you a thousand times that I didn’t need your help and I didn’t want it. When the hell are you finally gonna realize that?
Candice Blair: Sierra, we’ve ALL seen what you’ve been going through the past few months, and it hasn’t been pretty. Things have been rough for you since King of Elite and I’ll admit that, but I never wanted to be your enemy and you know that. You know that I never wanted to hurt you, and you know this isn’t you. You’re not “perfectly fine” like you keep saying you are, and deep down you know things would be much better if you weren’t associated with Drake. He’s been manipulating you for way too long now and the entire world knows that someone like him can’t be trusted. You’ve seen the things Drake has done in the past, and who knows what he’s done to you when the cameras weren’t on? I never wanted things to come to this, I just thought you’d eventually realize just how awful your relationship with Drake is. Every single week we see just how much of an insane narcissist he is, and the only people other than Myles and Minerva that’s actually been fooled by his words are you. You’re the only one that doesn’t see Drake as the psychopath he is, and it just doesn’t make any sense. You shouldn’t have to put up with this. None of us like seeing you in the position you’ve been in all this time, and all I was ever trying to do was help you understand that you deserve better. You deserve way better.
(Sierra looks back at Candice, before shaking her head and continuing to prepare for her match against the Universal Women’s Champion.)
Sierra Bradford: Really? That’s it? You just wanted to look out for me?
Candice Blair: Yes. I just wanted what was best for you.
Sierra Bradford: Well maybe instead of worrying about me so much you should start worrying about your own career. I told you I was fine, didn’t I? I told you week after week that I was fine, and that should’ve told you to leave me the hell alone and worry about your own career, but you couldn’t do that! Maybe if you tried focusing on your own life and your own career instead of spending all this time getting in MY business, you’d be in a better position! You’ve had multiple Championship opportunities Candice and you’ve always come up short, and since then it’s not like you’ve made the biggest impact around here. Nobody on the roster sees you as a threat, and it’s because of stuff like this. It’s because this is what you spend your time doing instead of actually trying to go somewhere with your career. Everyone else on the roster including me is actually trying to succeed and all you’ve done this entire season is stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. Nobody will ever take you seriously as a competitor, because we know exactly what you’re all about Candice. All you care about is the publicity and looking good. You’re only using the wrestling business as a platform to get more famous, so how could someone like you ever know what’s best for me?
(Candice takes a second, not really knowing how to respond to Sierra’s words about her.)
Candice Blair: Ever since I signed full time with EAW, I’ve done nothing but take my career seriously.
Sierra Bradford: I don’t believe that for a second. If you took your career seriously maybe we wouldn’t be facing each other next week. Maybe you would’ve actually accomplished something here by now like the rest of your sisters and I’d actually be able to move forward with my career, but instead I’m stuck dealing with you. At Battle of Egypt, after I beat you, I want you to leave me the fuck alone for good. I don’t care what you do afterwards, just leave me the fuck out of it.
(Candice sighs, and at this point she actually looks pretty sad hearing this from Sierra, realizing that Sierra’s a lost cause and just doesn’t want to be helped. Sierra’s had enough of Candice by now though, and as she finished getting ready she begins to walk away, before Candice starts speaking once again.)
Candice Blair: Fine. After Battle of Egypt I’ll leave you alone. I won’t try to help you anymore. If you want to keep letting Drake abuse you, be my guest. But when Drake finally snaps and hurts you ten times worse than Harper did, don’t say we didn’t warn y-
(Before Candice could even finish her comment, Sierra slaps her in the face as hard as she can, causing Candice to nearly fall to the ground completely. Sierra immediately begins walking away having heard way more than she wanted to, leaving Candice alone in the area holding the side of the face. Candice looks furious, and as she pulls herself back up Voltage fades away from the area.)
(As Voltage fades back to ringside, ‘Blow’ by Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton and Bruno Mars begins to play through the speakers, as a loud cheer resonates with the audience, and Envy Ellis walks out through the curtains with a smirk on her face.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! FROM WASHINGTON, DC! WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS! SHE IS ENVY ELLIS!!!!!
James Peters: Envy Ellis with a huge debut win last week over Greg Voltaire and now she is stepping it up another notch, this time against Lisa Wren who had an incredible match with Andre Walker at Grand Rampage but came up short, she then defeated another debuting star in Dante Hernandez.
Rich Russillo: Lisa Wren is a tough opponent, but Envy Ellis has the pedigree and the attitude to succeed in the EAW.
Persephone: Meh again. What is it with these boring matches tonight? Can Rex come back out here, please.
(As Envy Ellis is now in the ring, she poses and winks to the delight of the Virtual Crowd, but as her theme music fades out, it is replaced with “If” by Janet Jackson as it begins to play.)
Persephone: At least her song stayed the same this week from last.
Rich Russillo: I can’t argue with that.
James Peters: Lisa Wren is here, and she has had a very good Season 14, looking for some gold, this is the way to get back into contention, these are the matches which matter against incredible new talent like Envy Ellis!
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT! FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA… WEIGHING IN AT 130 POUNDS… LISA WREN!!!!
(Lisa walks onto the stage, hands on hips, and takes a moment to enjoy the crowd’s reaction while mixed, makes her way toward the ring as Envy Ellis looks on, never taking her eyes away from Lisa. As she gets in the ring, the referee checks both ladies before he calls for the bell…)
(DING!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Lisa and Envy circle the ring, locking up, Envy drops to a knee for leverage, pushing Lisa to9 the ropes, breaking clean and nodding. Lisa gets back out, they lock up again, this time Lisa pushes back, she sends Envy to the ropes, she steps back then shoves Envy much to her surprise. Lisa smirks, circling the ring again, as they lock up again this time Lisa pulls the hair for the advantage, she takes Envy back, whipping her into the ropes, going for a clothesline, but Envy ducks, she springboards off the ropes…)
James Peters: FLYING BODYPRESS! Envy Eilis with the quick cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
TW….
James Peters: Lisa Wren quickly kicks out, Envy with a dropkick, she connects! Lisa bounces off the ropes, Envy with a clothesline, no! Lisa with a split leg counter ducking the move, she springs back up, Envy turns, Lisa withy a dropkick of her own! Envy is down on the mat, Lisa waits as Envy gets up, charging in, HIP TOSS BY ENVY! LISA IS UP! ARM DRAG! REPEATEDLY AND LISA WALKS INTO A BACK BODY DROP! Envy Ellis is on fire right now and Lisa rolls out of the ring!
Rich Russillo: Lisa needing to collect herself from the newcomer! Envy though is running against the ropes, SUICIDE PLANCHA ON LISA WREN! LISTEN TO THE VIRTUAL CROWD!
(Envy screams, picking up Lisa and throwing her into the ring, she climbs up to the top rope, waiting as Lisa gets back up, Envy with another flying body press!)
Rich Russillo: LISA IS DOWN AGAIN BY THE QUICK AS A HICCUP AND PUGNACIOUS ENVY ELLIS! WITH ANOTHER COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Lisa kicks out, of course she does, hurry up and finish her off Envy, though I must admit, I like her name, I should have thought of that.
James Peters: Envy has been on top of Lisa this whole time not giving her a chance to breathe! Envy waits as Lisa gets up, a vicious forearm and another, whipping Lisa into the turnbuckle, she charges in, Lisa hops up with a Sunset Flip! Envy though quickly kicks out before the one count, basement dropkick on the chest of Wren! Envy hops of the second rope, MOONSAULT ON WREN FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Lisa kicks out again! Envy is not relenting! Lisa is back up and Envy with a side headlock, flipping Lisa over, she tries to grip the headlock but Lisa with some leg scissors, Envy is stuck in those powerful legs, but she kicks out quickly and kips up to her feet, so does Lisa and both women start to blast each other with punch after punch!
Persephone: Kill each other!
James Peters: These two women have lost their cool! They are taking each other out as we speak but Envy is getting the better of Lisa, she has her backed up, Irish whip to the ropes, no! Lisa reverses, Envy bounces back, Lisa leap frogs over Envy, she turns, LISA HITS ENVY HARD TO THE FACE WITH HER BACKSIDE! Envy crumbles to the mats, she took a hard hit to the side of the head and she could be out cold!
Persephone: Lisa has an iron ass!
Rich Russillo: Envy is down, she really took a vicious hit and is probably out of it. Lisa drops down for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: ENVY WITH A KICK OUT! Lisa looks almost shocked, but has Envy down, picking her up by the hair, Lisa with a hair snapmare! And another! Envy screams in pain before sitting her up and Lisa with a huge kick to the upper back of Envy! Wren now in position, runs against the ropes, basement clothesline and she takes down Envy! Lisa runs against the ropes; a deadly leg drop that draped over Envy’s chest and she goes for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Why can’t the new girl stay down!? Why does she have to kick out again!? Tonight, is simply mind-numbing, damn! Will someone win already!?
James Peters: Envy is in a lot of trouble and Lisa knows it, she picks up Ellis, hoists her up, what a side backbreaker, she folded Envy in half! Lisa is not going for the cover, instead she rolls Envy over and hooks a camel clutch but a variation, crossing Envy’s arms as she screams in pain!
(Lisa pulls back, trying to get a submission from Envy, who is screaming in a lot of pain. Lisa yells at the referee to ask her, he turns to Envy who shakes her head, screaming “NO”. The referee then turns back to Lisa who pulls back harder.)
Lisa Wren (Off-Mic) ASK THIS DUMB WHITE GIRL AGAIN! ASK HER REFEREE!
(The referee again gets down to one knee, looking right at Envy who screams…)
Envy Ellis: (Off Mic) NO! NO! NO!
James Peters: I don’t know how much more Envy can take of this, Lisa has her in a very precarious situation and she has not chance to get toward the ropes… wait! Envy Ellis is trying to push herself toward the ropes, she is using her legs!
Rich Russillo: She has to get there, or this match is over! Lisa is trying to plant her feet but Ellis reaches and SHE HAS HER FOOT ON THE ROPE! LISA NEEDS TO BREAK THE HOLD!
(The referee warns Lisa to break it, she screams, shaking her head as he starts to count…)
1!
2!
3!
4!
(Lisa finally releases the hold and gets up, arguing with the referee who is warning her. Envy slowly gets up, holding her back, she reaches over and goes for a schoolgirl catching Lisa by surprise!)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: Lisa kicks out, but she was almost caught trying to argue with the official! She turns and starts kicking a very hurt Envy Ellis! Lisa drops, choking her out, she has completely lost it on Envy! The referee is starting the count, NO! Lisa picks up Envy, whips her against the turnbuckle, running in, KICK BY ENVY! She stuns Lisa! Envy hops on the second rope, SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG! She takes Lisa down and goes for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!
THRE….
Persephone: Great she was able to get her shoulder up, how!?
(Envy Ellis thought she had Lisa Wren, looking up at the referee holding three fingers but he waved it off and held up only two! A bit frustrated, Envy sighs, getting right back on her feet, picking up Lisa in the corner for her Buckle Bomb!)
James Peters: Envy about to execute the DC! She has Lisa locked… NO! Lisa was able to back body drop Envy, but she landed on her feet! Grabbing around the waist of Lisa, A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX FOR THE PIN! SHE HAS IT LOCKED IN!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. LISA WREN!!!!!!!!!
(“If” by Janet Jackson plays throughout the arena as Lisa gets up slowly holding her body in pain as the referee raises her hand but she quickly yanks it from him. Lisa looks down at Envy who is stirring in the ring holding her lower back, before rolling out and making her way up the rampway….)
James Peters: And Lisa Wren keeps on winning, she took the loss at Grand Rampage, but has kept her focus and is climbing back the rankings once again against a very game Envy Ellis who has a very bright future in the EAW for sure, she was impressive!
Persephone: She was alright, this match went too long, but whatever, Lisa wins again.
Rich Russillo: It really does show the resiliency of Lisa Wren and Envy Ellis, both women put it all on the line, what a great match and Lisa looks to get some gold around her waist, Envy though is one to keep your eye on.
(Lisa turns around to admire her work before turning back and leaving as Envy is sitting up, glaring at Lisa before refusing help from the referee and getting back up on her own two feet while the Virtual Crowd applauds her efforts here tonight.)

(Voltage returns from break and cuts to the backstage area. Dynasty’s own Mary S. Atlas is seen walking backstage. She’s got a smile on her face and it doesn’t take her very long to find the person she’s looking for! Holly Arrow is finishing up a photoshoot, but she sees her friend and sometimes tag team partner, and waves. Mary waves back and takes a seat in a director’s style chair, and after a few more shots, the photographer announces that it’s a wrap. Holly thanks him for his time and heads over to where Mary is sitting.)
Mary S. Atlas: Fierce shots. Those are going to look amazing.
Holly Arrow: :drakelike: Gotta love Pain for Pride season. I don’t know about you, but I’m so excited to experience my first ever Pain for Pride.
Mary S. Atlas: Oh I’m definitely excited, and lately Pain for Pride has been on my mind a lot. I can’t help but feel a tiny bit of disappointment that I wasn’t considered for a spot in the No Way Out match next weekend, which leaves me wondering where I’m supposed to fit in on the card. I’m not missing a chance to compete at Pain for Pride.
(Holly nods her head thoughtfully, completely agreeing with Mary. Pain for Pride has been on her mind a lot as well, but more specifically, she’s been thinking about her own personal path towards the biggest event of the year.)
Holly Arrow: I feel like the two of us are in the same boat. At the moment, I don’t see a clear direction for myself either. I’ve had some success, but I’m worried it’s not good enough :lupe:.
(Holly’s honesty brings a slight smile to Mary’s face. Despite being on different brands, the two women have forged a true friendship and it’s obvious they enjoy teaming up with one another.)
Mary S. Atlas: That is the last thing you need to worry about. As a team, we’ve gotten wins over The Realm and Ad Infinitum. We actually beat a former world champion and the famous last name he’s attached too. We beat former tag team champions and basically caused their break-up. We’ve had a lot of great moments. Don’t think that just because you don’t win every single week that you are somehow not deserving of a great Pain for Pride opportunity. I certainly believe I deserve a great match, because my own hard work has put me in that position.
Holly Arrow: You know something, Mary? I really can’t argue with that, because you’re right. There’s definitely a bigger picture and it’s pointless for me to be anything other than positive. I know that things are going to pay off for not just me, but the both of us. I know that both of us will find a spot on the card somehow.
(At that moment, someone clears their throat in the most polite of ways, drawing the attention of Mary and Holly. It’s Holly who reacts first, rolling her eyes.)
Holly Arrow: Kensingten… Kensi. Whatever.
(The blonde steps into frame and flashes a brilliant smile at Holly and Mary.)
Kensi: Kensi, thank you. I couldn’t help but overhear you two talking about Pain for Pride. It’s certainly the most exciting time of the year, isn’t it?! I think everyone who grows up to become a wrestler has the same dream, headlining Pain for Pride. Last year, I got a chance to try and win one of those coveted spots. I’ll never forget how excited I was, and how badly it hurt to come up one match short of reaching that dream.
Holly Arrow: Did you really think you had a chance??
(Kensi does her best to not be insulted by that comment.)
Kensi: I like my chances in every match, Holly. If I sat around and dwelled on the coulda, woulda, shoulda, then I wouldn’t be here right now.
Holly Arrow: I definitely liked it more when you called me Miss Arrow.
Kensi: I’m sure you did, and rest assured, I will never call you that again. Being polite never did me any favors around here, and I’m certainly not going to waste my time trying to stay on people’s good sides anymore.
Mary S. Atlas: :comeagain: You tried to stay on the good side of others??
(For the first time, Kensi turns her attention to Mary.)
Kensi: I don’t believe we have officially met, and if we did, I don’t remember, and I don’t care. But one thing you can truly keep to yourself is your opinion, because I didn’t ask for it.
Mary S. Atlas: Well, I don’t really care what you asked for, because if I want to say something, I’m going to say it.
(Holly lets out a rather exasperated sigh and folds her arms across her chest.)
Holly Arrow: Why are you even here, Kensi? I thought you were on Showdown or did Bronson beat you so bad you don’t want to show your face over there?
Kensi: You know, Holly, you talk a lot of crap for someone who’s done about as much in this business as I have, which is really nothing at all. I can go to whatever brand I want and who is going to stop me? It’s because of my own selflessness that EAW gets to keep their blood money contract. Anyways. I know you and Mary think you’re both sitting pretty because you beat The Realm and Ad Infinitum, but let’s not act like Darcy May Morgan didn’t gift you guys that win over Ad Infinitum because she got tired of Veena being Veena. I won’t take the victory over The Realm away from you. You two did earn that, but you didn’t prove anything against Charlie Marr and Veena Adams.
Mary S. Atlas: Whether Darcy got involved or not is irrelevant because I believe Holly and I would have won no matter what. Our win against The Realm wasn’t a fluke. Holly certainly has a better chance at winning tag team matches with me than she did with you.
Kensi: I mean, I never asked to team up with Holly. We had a mutual enemy and went after IDOL-GUN together because it really made more sense to just put our differences aside and work together for the greater good.
(Holly gives Mary a sheepish smile.)
Holly Arrow: She does have a point. I would never willingly team up with someone like Kensi, but IDOL-GUN needed to have their egos put in check.
Kensi: Stop insulting me, geeze. I’m standing right here. We’re not about to act like I was some bum tag team partner who couldn’t pull her weight. I gave you my all and you know that.
Mary S. Atlas: But clearly, I’m the superior partner since Holly and I actually win matches together.
Kensi: I’m pretty sure I could team up with anyone in this company and beat the both of you.
(Holly and Mary look at one another and exchange smirks.)
Holly Arrow & Mary S. Atlas: :mjgrin:
Kensi: You two seem skeptical. I can’t wait to prove you wrong.
Mary S. Atlas: You don’t even have someone willing to team with you.
Kensi: I’m a pretty resourceful woman. I’ll find someone.
(Holly can’t help but quietly laugh. She definitely doesn’t believe that Kensi can find a tag team.)
Holly Arrow: You know what? If you can actually find a partner to work with, then Most Wanted Arrow will be more than willing to meet you inside the ring.
(Kensi beams and claps her hands together.)
Kensi: Perfect! Obviously, Battle of Egypt is next weekend, but the Voltage after? Let’s make it official.
(Kensi sticks her hand out and without hesitation, both members of Most Wanted Arrow shake hands with her. It was all but official, and now it was up to Kensi to find a tag team partner. Kensi heads off, while Mary and Holly resume their conversation about Pain for Pride.)
(Voltage fades down to the ringside area.)
(Returning to ringside of the World 1 Theatre, Bella Braxton can be spotted standing in the ring and with a microphone in hand, she raises it to her lips with a smile as she’s set to call the next match!)
Bella Braxton: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
(“Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne plays into the arena and Sierra comes making her way out, looking as determined as ever knowing that she’s got a huge opportunity ahead of her tonight. The virtual crowd is starting to give her a more mixed reaction after the past few weeks and all she’s done involving Candice Blair, but Sierra doesn’t really seem to care as she makes her way down towards the ring, clearly doing her best to keep her mind off of her altercation with Candice earlier.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, from San Francisco, California… weighing 121 pounds… “The Queen of Her World” SIEEERRRRAAAAA BRAAAAADDDDFFFOOOORRRRRDDDD!!!
James Peters: Ahead of her match against Candice Blair at Battle of Egypt, Sierra has a chance at defeating the Universal Women’s Champion and I can only imagine what that’d do for Sierra’s confidence not only against Candice but the closer we get to Pain for Pride!
Rich Russillo: Darcy and Sierra go way back to last season when they were getting into it over the Specialists Championship, but we’ve seen how far they’ve come since then, and we’ll see it all on display tonight!
Persephone: I’m pretty over the whole thing already.
(Sierra makes her way into the ring and shortly after, “Spotlight Saviour” by Iggy Azalea takes over and Darcy comes walking out from the back, the Universal Women’s Title around her waist. Darcy looks over at her opponent as she walks to the ramp, and Darcy doesn’t look too impressed. Darcy is confident in her chances of winning this match as always, and soon the Champion makes her way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent, from Kent, United Kingdom… weighing in at 130 pounds… she is the Universal Women’s Champion…. “The Leading Lady” DAAARRRRCCCCCYYYY MAAAAYYYYY MOOOOORRRRGAAAAANNNNNN!!!
Rich Russillo: With a match against Cameron Ella Ava looming over her, Darcy surely doesn’t want to head into that match with a loss to her name, and certainly not without putting on a show to give Cameron something more to look forward to!
James Peters: Cameron has to know that Darcy is no slouch, but that’s one of the reasons she’s looking forward to taking on one of the best there is in the women’s division! Darcy has been a standout and represented the title well – it would only make sense that Cameron is looking forward to facing her, but showing that she’ll be on point and at her best doesn’t hurt either!
Persephone: You know what’s gonna hurt? Malcolm’s ego when Rex takes the EAW World Championship at Battle of Egypt
(Darcy enters the ring with the Universal Women’s Championship removed from her waist and raised up into the air, showing it off and inviting Sierra to take a look at just how far she’s come since their last encounters. Sierra nods, but shouts that she’s prepared to take on Darcy, and the EAW Universe is on track to see how both women will come to test each other tonight as the bell rings!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Sierra and Darcy circle the ring before they go to meet up in the middle- SIERRA WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT! SIERRA STRIKES FIRST, AND YOU HAVE TO ASSUME AFTER HER PAST ENCOUNTERS WITH DARCY THAT THAT’S WHERE THAT JUST CAME FROM! SIERRA SWIFTLY PULLS HER INTO A SIDE HEADLOCK TO GET CONTROL EARLY, HOLDING DARCY IN PLACE!
Rich Russillo: Darcy starts punching at Sierra’s side and back, trying to find a way to fight out of this but Sierra’s holding on! As Darcy sends punches to her ribs, Sierra gets taken to the ropes and Darcy pushes them into and off them to finally get Sierra off of her- A ROUNDHOUSE! NO! DARCY MISSES THE KICK AND SIERRA DUCKS, BUT THERE’S A ROLL UP ON DARCY!!
OOOONNNNEEEE!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!
Persephone: Darcy unfortunately kicks out and Sierra isn’t doing anything to keep her pinned – instead, she’s getting up and she launches a kick to the gut on Darcy and before tossing her with a snap suplex to the mat. There’s a float over and she comes down with a pretty serious forearm to the face. Not seeing a pin attempt yet tho
James Peters: That’s because Sierra is coming down with forearm after forearm to strike Darcy in the face! Between this and what she’s got going on with Candice, Sierra is looking to show just how far she’s come and how she’s in the right state of mind to get a huge win over someone like Darcy!
Rich Russillo: She’s with Drake King though, so I’m not sure how much anyone’s gonna be convinced :lupe:
James Peters: It’ll certainly be a start as she comes off of Darcy and drags her up to her feet, whipping her across the ring- BUT DARCY COMES SHOOTING OFF THE ROPES AND THERE’S A RUNNING CROSSBODY TAKEDOWN!! THE TWO WOMEN RACE UP TO THEIR FEET AND DARCY STRIKES WITH A QUICK FOREARM AS SIERRA RUSHED HER!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA’S HEAD SNAPS BACK AND DARCY PULLS HER IN AND KEEPS HER CLOSE AS SHE RATTLES HER WITH ANOTHER! REPEATED FOREARM SHOTS TO THE FACE HAVE SIERRA STUNNED BEFORE DARCY GRABS HER WRIST AND DROPS HER WITH A SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE! Darcy keeps a hold of the arm and stomps down on Sierra’s chest before coming down with a knee drop to the same area! AND DARCY STRIKES WITH A KICK TO THE RIBS UPON GETTING BACK UP TO HER FEET!
Persephone: Still no pinfall attempt from either of these bitches since the first one; they can feel free to end this anytime now
James Peters: Sierra struggles to try to make it up with one arm and it doesn’t help that Darcy’s shoving her boot against Sierra’s face to shove her down with every attempt made; somewhere, Cameron Ella Ava has to be making note of these tactics!
Rich Russillo: Darcy with another kick to the ribs as Sierra had risen up onto her knees and Darcy connects with another! Darcy is through playing around with Sierra, bringing her to stand and twisting around behind her into a hammerlock, THEN SENDING HER FACE-FIRST TO THE MAT WITH A FORWARD LEGSWEEP! SIERRA CRASHES TO THE MAT AND DARCY TAKES OFF RUNNING, HITTING OFF THE ROPES AND SPRINGING BACK WITH A LOW DROPKICK TO THE HEAD!
James Peters: SIERRA GOES ROLLING AWAY AND TO THE ROPES WHERE SHE TRIES TO PULL HERSELF UP, BUT DARCY COMES CHARGING, BACK ON HER FEET, WITH A RUNNING KNEE! A KNEE TO THE HEAD OF SIERRA BUT DARCY KEEPS HER STANDING, ONLY TO IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW UP WITH A NECKBREAKER THAT TAKES HER DOWN! Sierra reaches out for the bottom rope BUT DARCY PULLS HER BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND COMES DOWN WITH TWO KNEES TO THE BACK!! DARCY TURNING HER OVER FOR THE COVER!!!
OOOONNNNNNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: Sierra kicks out but Darcy is completely and totally unfazed as she gets a hold of Sierra and whips her across the ring, only Sierra proves to have the wherewithal to keep herself from springing back in Darcy’s direction by hooking her arms around the top rope!
James Peters: The Universal Women’s Champion gets a kick to the gut upon making her way over, but she reaches for Sierra again only this time to get a back elbow! Sierra dips down and hoists Darcy up onto her shoulders, Darcy kicking and flailing in an attempt to get out while Sierra tries to hold her up- DARCY ACCIDENTALLY GOES SPILLING OVER THE TOP ROPE! BUT SHE HANGS ON TO KEEP HERSELF ON THE APRON!
Rich Russillo: BUT NOT FOR LONG AS SIERRA STRIKES WITH A DROPKICK TO KNOCK HER DOWN!! DARCY FALLS OUT TO THE FLOOR ON THE OUTSIDE AND SIERRA FINDS HERSELF BACK ON THE OFFENSIVE! Darcy pulls herself up to her feet with the help of the apron, BUT SIERRA DOESN’T GIVE HER LONG TO STAND AS SHE KNOCKS HER BACK INTO THE BARRICADE WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE!!
James Peters: Sierra rolls out the ring and heads over to grab the fallen champion, picking her up by her hair but Darcy shoves her away just as they get back to the apron! The former Tag Team Champion won’t be deterred though as she tries to get her hands back on Darcy, but the reigning Universal Women’s Champion is prepared to put up a fight! Darcy trying to punch Sierra away but Sierra comes back swinging just the same!
Persephone: Can they both just knock each other the fuck out?! Neither of these whores wants to back down, so I can only imagine that means we’re gonna be getting more bullshit to come throughout this match. Sierra just struck the hell out of Darcy with a right hand and slammed her face down against the apron, but I’m not getting my hopes up as she lifts Darcy up onto the apron and rolls her into the ring.
Rich Russillo: Sierra rolls in after sending Darcy back into the ring, with Darcy trying to bring herself up and Sierra rushes forward looking for a shining wizard, but Darcy ducks out the way! Sierra quickly scrambles to get herself up after missing the target and finds herself the victim of her miscalculation as Darcy hits a running bulldog from behind! Darcy looks to quick follow up and get Sierra before she can completely come to her feet, lifting her up AND THERE’S A SUPLEX FROM DARCY!
James Peters: SIERRA CRASHES TO THE MAT AND DARCY HURRIEDLY FINDS HER FOR A WHEELBARROW SUPLEX, SENDING SIERRA FALLING ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD! SIERRA CRUMPLES UP AND CLUTCHES AT THE BACK OF HER HEAD, BUT DARCY ISN’T ALLOWING MUCH ROOM FOR REPRIEVE, TOSSING SIERRA ACROSS THE RING AND INTO THE CORNER BY HER HAIR!!
Rich Russillo: Bradford looks for the ropes in hope of pulling herself up, AND DARCY COMES RUNNING IN WITH A STEP-UP KNEE STRIKE!! BUT IT’S A MISS AS SIERRA SIDESTEPS HER AND DARCY GETS NOTHING BUT AIR! SIERRA CLUBS HER OVER THE BACK WITH A FOREARM AND NOW ANOTHER, BUT DARCY WITH A BACK KICK TO KNOCK SIERRA AWAY-
James Peters: “TTYN”!!! THE LEFT-HANDED KNOCKOUT PUNCH CONNECTS AS DARCY WHIRLED AROUND AND CAUGHT SIERRA WHEN SHE LEAST EXPECTED IT!! SIERRA DROPS TO THE MAT AND DARCY DROPS DOWN INTO THE COVER!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE-
Persephone: Ew, a kickout? Seriously? How does Darcy expect to beat Cameron when she can’t even put away Sierra?
James Peters: No one should expect Sierra to be put down when she’s definitely got so much more fight to give! I’m not surprised at all that Sierra wasn’t put out just now, when she’s shown to be competitive and prepared to give everyone in her path a fight; Sierra’s determination is something that Candice is going to have to contend with as well!
Rich Russillo: But Candice will be having to do that for different reasons, and who knows what that match could bring :lupe: Darcy, however, is looking to deal with Sierra the best way she knows how and that’s by taking Sierra over into the corner where she keeps her standing this time, hitting a series of shoulder thrusts in the corner! ONE AFTER THE OTHER, SIERRA IS GETTING TAKEN OFF HER FEET!
James Peters: AND DARCY ISN’T LOOKING TO LET UP AS SHE DRIVES IN WITH SUCH FORCE! DARCY IS LOOKING TO WEAR DOWN SIERRA AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AND PERHAPS MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HER HERE TONIGHT! The referee finally steps in and backs Darcy away, though she looks annoyed that he stepped in despite having warned her about needing to bring the action out the corner. AND DARCY GOES RUNNING BACK IN, STARTING UP AGAIN AND SIERRA IS TAKING THOSE SHOULDERS TO THE GUT WITH NO CHANCE TO COUNTER!!
Rich Russillo: Once again the referee comes back in and Darcy isn’t paying him any attention as he reprimands her for ignoring him the first time; I’m not sure why the referee would expect anything the second time around! AND I SAY THAT JUST AS DARCY RUNS BACK AT SIERRA- SIERRA GETS HER WITH A KICK TO THE STOMACH!! DARCY DOUBLES OVER AND SIERRA CLIMBS ONTO HER BACK INTO A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!!!
James Peters: SIERRA DOESN’T HOLD FOR THE PIN, INSTEAD COMING UP AND STOMPING DOWN ONTO DARCY’S STOMACH, FORCING HER TO SIT UP INTO A PENALTY KICK!! DARCY GOES DOWN AND THERE’S ANOTHER STOMP TO THE GUT, THIS TIME FOLLOWED UP WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! SIERRA CRACKS THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO KNOCK HER DOWN AND SIERRA LOOKS FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRR-
Persephone: Darcy kicks out when she should’ve just stayed down; she’d be in top condition to face Cameron at Battle of Egypt if she hadn’t kicked out and now we have to sit through this for no reason.
Rich Russillo: :usure: It sounds more like you just want a reason to get out of here.
Persephone: So we can hurry up, get this show over with, and be that much closer to Rex beating Malcolm at Battle of Egypt? You’re absolutely right.
James Peters: Sierra seems to have other plans though, as she knows this battle with Darcy is far from over! Sierra gets to her feet and stomps down on the champion’s head, going as far as kicking the back of it as she stands over her! Darcy covers up her head as she’s no doubt feeling that kick, but that just leaves her vulnerable to a standing senton with Sierra throwing herself down onto the Universal Women’s Champion!
Rich Russillo: Darcy tries to roll away to get a breather but Sierra grabs her by her hair, stopping her in her tracks! Sierra drags Darcy up to her feet and repeatedly punches her in the face, the referee warning Sierra of those closed fists but Bradford already has her against the ropes before whipping her across the ring, AND DARCY GETS A LOW DROPKICK TO HER LEG! DARCY DROPS TO A KNEE AND THERE’S SIERRA WITH A KNEE STRIKE!!
James Peters: DARCY FALLS OVER AND SIERRA BOUNDS OFF THE ROPES, COMING BACK WITH ANOTHER DROPKICK TO THE HEAD!!! SIERRA QUICKLY GOES TO GRAB DARCY AND WHIP HER ACROSS THE RING INTO THE CORNER WHERE SIERRA CHARGES IN- A LARIAR FROM DARCY STRIKES HER DOWN!! DARCY TURNS HER BACK TO SIERRA AND FLIPS! A MOONSAULT KNEE DROP- NO! SIERRA ROLLED OUT THE WAY AND DARCY CRASHES TO THE MAT ON HER KNEES!!!
Rich Russillo: AND NOW A SHINING WIZARD THAT ACTUALLY CONNECTS!! SIERRA FINALLY LANDS THE SHINING WIZARD AS DARCY WAS STILL DOWN AND DARCY NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO ESCAPE!! DARCY IS FLOORED AND SPRAWLED OUT ON THE MAT, AND SIERRA MAKES ANOTHER COVER!!!
OOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEE-
James Peters: DARCY KICKS OUT!!
Persephone: And it was so unnecessary! Doesn’t she know that I’m trying to get on with the rest of the show to see if Rex pops up again?! She’s so inconsiderate!
Rich Russillo: I’m sure you’re the last thing on her mind, but you’re always on mine at all times :mjlit:
Persephone: Are commentators available to be drafted for next season? I nominate Rich!
James Peters: Sierra takes Darcy and looks to put her up on the top turnbuckle, sitting her down and starting up the turnbuckles herself! Sierra throws punches on the way up to try to maintain control, perhaps with intentions of looking to throw Darcy from the top rope!
Rich Russillo: BUT SHE WON’T GET THE CHANCE AS DARCY SHOVES HER LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER AND SIERRA FALLS FROM THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE!! Sierra barely manages to stay up on her feet and Darcy tries to position herself up on the top buckle, but Sierra grabs her arm and flings her down- ONLY FOR DARCY TO FLIP OVER AND LAND ON HER FEET! DARCY TURNS AROUND AND THERE’S “SEROTONIN”!!
James Peters: DARCY DOESN’T GET THE CHANCE TO FALL DOWN AS SIERRA PULLS HER IN, AND SIERRA KICKS OFF THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE BEHIND HER INTO A TORNADO DDT!! SIERRA SPIKES THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF HER HEAD AND DARCY LOOKS OUT OF IT AS SHE’S ON THE MAT!!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA GETTING BACK TO HER FEET AS DARCY IS DOWN, AND SIERRA CREATES SOME SPACE HEADING TO THE CORNER THEY CAME OUT OF!! SIERRA TAKES OFF INTO A RUN AND CONNECTS WITH “STUPID BITCH”!!! A HANDSPRING MOONSAULT DOWN ONTO DARCY FOR THE COVER!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: DARCY GETS HER SHOULDER UP!!!
Persephone: “Stupid bitch” is right, because she’s dumb to think that was ever going to win this match. I don’t really care for Darcy but I’ve been forced to sit through enough of her matches to know this was unfortunately far from over.
James Peters: Sierra merely shakes off the kick out and looks to continue the match, no doubt wondering what it’ll take to put Darcy away now! Sierra strikes her over the back of the head as she starts to bring her up before trying to get her into position for a powerbomb, but Darcy holds her to keep herself from getting lifted! Sierra tries again but Darcy refuses to budge, still holding around Sierra’s waist!
Rich Russillo: Sierra starts slamming a fist down repeatedly into Darcy’s back hoping it’ll be enough to thwart Darcy’s hold, BUT DARCY FLIPS HER OVERHEAD WITH A BACK BODY DROP! BUT SIERRA LANDS ON HER FEET! She stumbles forward to the ropes ahead of her and Darcy quickly comes looking to get on the offensive, but Sierra strikes her back with a huge forearm! Sierra follows her and strikes with another, rocking Darcy!
James Peters: But at the middle of the mat, the champion fires back! Darcy rattling Sierra with a forearm of her own before Sierra swings again but Darcy clobbers her with two successive shots to the face! Sierra nearly falls over but stays on her feet as a straight right hand nearly turns Darcy’s head around, sending Darcy falling to the ropes and she springs back for a lariat-
Rich Russillo: A SCORPION KICK!! SIERRA DUCKED DOWN AND STRUCK WITH A SCORPION KICK!! DARCY STANDS ON UNSTEADY LEGS BUT SIERRA IMMEDIATELY COMES OUT OF HER KICK WITH A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER AND DARCY FALLS BACK INTO THE CORNER!! SIERRA RUSHES IN HITTING TWO HIGH KNEES BEFORE SNAPMARING DARCY OUT THE CORNER AND DOWN TO THE MAT!!
James Peters: Sierra remains in the corner anticipating Darcy getting up, the champion struggling to push herself up and Sierra comes blasting out the corner as Darcy rises- “ELECTRIC FEEL”!! NO!! DARCY TURNS OUT THE WAY AND SIERRA MISSES THE KICK!! SIERRA SITS UP AND DARCY TAKES HER OFF THE MAT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!! DARCY TURNS OVER WITH A HOLD STILL ON DARCY FOR ANOTHER!!
Rich Russillo: The back of Sierra’s head is hitting the mat unprotected and Darcy has her up for another- A VICTORY ROLL BY SIERRA!!! SHE HAS DARCY FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!!!
OOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: DARCY KICKS OUT AGAIN AND SIERRA LOOKS FOR A CLOTHESLINE AS THEY RACE TO THEIR FEET, BUT DARCY DUCKS DOWN AND GOES TO THE ROPES! DARCY COMES RUNNING OFF LOOKING FOR THE “FACE ACHE”!! BUT SIERRA CATCHES THE LEG AND PULLS HER IN, TRANSITIONING INTO A BRAINBUSTER!!!
Persephone: Buddha, Jesus, whoever – if any one of you are listening, please let this match be over
James Peters: Sierra has Darcy down near the ropes and Sierra makes her way out onto the apron, her eyes focused on Darcy as she gets into position! AND NOW A SLINGSHOT SENTON BY SIERRA- RIGHT ONTO DARCY’S RAISED KNEES!! SIERRA COMES CRASHING DOWN ONTO DARCY’S KNEES AND SIERRA GOES ROLLING AWAY, SHOUTING IN PAIN AS DARCY MANAGES TO COUNTER IN TIME!!
Rich Russillo: Darcy slowly pushes herself up and spots Sierra across the ring before making her way over to bring Sierra up, despite Sierra’s struggle to stand on her own two feet after those knees to the back! Darcy with an uppercut to Sierra’s lowered head and she keeps her down for a knee to the skull, and now she throws her down with a hair-pull slam!
Persephone: The referee warns her to stay off the hair, but honestly, he’s warned her enough times throughout this match and I think a disqualification is imminent. Just call it now and it’ll be over
James Peters: Darcy goes back to Sierra looking to lift her up and with her head tucked down, Darcy takes Sierra up into the air for a suplex- BUT SIERRA DROPS DOWN, LANDING ON HER FEET BEHIND DARCY! DARCY SPINS AROUND AND SIERRA GRABS HER TO GET HER INTO POSITION BEFORE TAKING OFF INTO THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA GOES UP THE TURNBUCKLES! “PRIMA DONNA”!! NO! DARCY SHOVES HER FORWARD JUST AS SHE WENT FOR THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND NOW SIERRA’S SEATED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! BUT DARCY GRABS HER BY HER HAIR AND THROWS HER DOWN, SENDING THE BACK OF HER HEAD DOWN AGAINST THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE! SIERRA’S HEAD CRASHES TO THE TURNBUCKLE AND SHE’S STRUNG UP UPSIDE DOWN!
James Peters: But now Darcy gets under her and lifts her up onto her shoulders! Darcy pulling her away from the corner and to the middle of the ring as Sierra looks out of it! “THE CURTAIN CALL”!! DARCY CONNECTS AT THE CENTER OF THE RING AND SIERRA IS DOWN, AND DARCY MAKES THE COVER!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Spotlight Saviour” by Iggy Azalea begins to play and Darcy rises to her feet, the referee handing over the Universal Women’s Championship as the referee then raises her hand!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… the Universal Women’s Champion, Darcy May Morgan!
James Peters: A win here tonight for Darcy ahead of her match against Cameron Ella Ava at Battle of Egypt, and if there was a takeaway from tonight, I’d say it has to be how Darcy took everything thrown at her and still found a way to see her way to victory!
Rich Russillo: And did Sierra certainly look to try to throw it all at Darcy as she sought to go into her match against Candice with what would’ve been a huge victory for her! Sierra tried her hardest to get one over on her former rival and even if she came up short here, I don’t think she has anything to be ashamed of as she brought the fight to the champ!
Persephone: Um, she lost. What’s there not to be ashamed of in that?
James Peters: Regardless, we got a solid match-up but I’m certain we’ll be seeing bigger and better from them both come Battle of Egypt! Sierra could certainly use tonight and the fight she brought as more motivation to want to propel herself forward. Meanwhile, if Darcy can provide counters to Cameron like she did to Sierra here, Darcy could see her way to one of the biggest wins during her reign so far yet! But Cameron definitely won’t be looking to make things easy, as she’s got her own goals for that match in mind! Which one of them wins in the end though, we’ll just have to wait and see!
Persephone: I really don’t care. Rex beating Malcolm is what we really need to be talking about anyway!
(Persephone never gets the chance to ramble on though, as Darcy on the sight of Darcy being left to celebrate her victory and proudly raising the Universal Women’s Championship, the scene fades out.)
(The camera pans to the backstage where Hikari Kanno and Miku Sakai sit on a row of equipment cases. With a laptop on Hikari’s lap, they scroll through a series of photographs, discussing between themselves, pointing at a number of them. They are however interrupted by Sofia Clarke who steps into frame with a microphone in hand)
Sofia Clarke: Excuse me ladies, but could I get a moment of your time?
(Both members of IDOL-GUN turn with a considerably disinterested expression)
Hikari Kanno: No, EXCUSE US, we’re extremely busy right now okay? We’re deciding which amazing and gorgeous photos of me from a shoot should go up across OnlyFans. So please, piss off.
(Sofia Clarke rolls her eyes but persists to get her interview with Miku Sakai)
Sofia Clarke: Well…I just wanted to speak to Miku, actually.
(Hikari’s expression changes and encourages Miku. Miku rolls her eyes and maintains her look of dread, staring at Sofia before motioning to hurry up)
Sofia Clarke: Last week, the two of you defeated Chained Fury to once again retain the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships, so I’ve just got to ask, how do you feel?
Miku Sakai: Wait, is this the kind of content you’re pulling us away from our serious business for? What a bland, unimaginative question to ask. Whatever. Of course there’s only one way to feel after a successful title defense and that is wonderful, Sofia. We’re still standing at the very top of the tag team division. There wasn’t any doubt that we were going to lose to Chained Fury last week, they were a massive fucking joke back at King of Elite and the fact that match even happened last week bewilders us; they somehow got even worse and even more insufferable. Reality check, losers, nobody cares about your troubles. Do the world a favour and piss off back to irrelevance; you’re never getting another shot at these titles again and we’re all better off for that.
(Miku drops her eyes to the title on her shoulder, peers over to Hikari’s and then back to Sofia)
Miku Sakai: Who the fuck is this company going to throw at us next? What absolute trash excuse for a tag team is going to walk up to us thinking that they deserve a shot, let alone thinking they can beat us? We’re untouchable, there’s nobody who can hang with us and we’ll just continue to walk over them like the stepping stones they could only ever be. And that’s why we’re not defending these titles at Battle of Egypt II.
Sofia Clarke: Speaking of Battle of Egypt II, you have the greatest individual opportunity of your short career here in EAW coming up, a No Way Out match to possibly go to Pain For Pride to face Darcy May Morgan for the Universal Women’s Championship. What’s your thoughts heading into this match?
Miku Sakai: Yeah! About that. Why the fuck are going to a country that has such awful laws, restrictions and treatment all round of women? Why the fuck do I have to cover up? If I want to walk down to the ring in a skimpy outfit – hell, even bare naked – I should have every right to do so and I shouldn’t have some misogynistic freaks getting upset at me for getting their little dicks hard over it. How am I supposed to thrill and excite those losers if I’m covered in some jumpsuit, covering all of my skin instead of being able to wrestle in cute little outfits?
(Hikari nods her head over every talking point.)
Miku Sakai: Ugh. Whatever. Who the fuck wants to see any of those other women win and headline Pain For Pride anyway? All of them are a bore; they’ve had their chances to shine either as Champion or trying to become Champion, why go down these paths again? Oh and then there’s Alexis Chambers but who gives a fuck about her. I’m going to win the No Way Out match and I’m going to fulfill IDOL-GUN’s ambitions of world domination by headlining Pain For Pride; it’s time for something new and something fresh and that’s something that only I can deliver.
Sofia Clarke: Well there is just one issue. If you were to win–
(Miku raises a finger, cutting Sofia off. Sofia grimmances for a second but ‘corrects’ herself)
Sofia Clarke: “When you win” you’re most likely going to have to pull double duty at Pain For Pride, both competing for the Universal Women’s Championship and defending IDOL-GUN’s Unified Tag Team Championships. My question is, can you handle that kind of pressure and expectation?
(A stunned, near insulted Miku stares back at Sofia with a look of utter disbelief)
Miku Sakai: What the fuck? Of course! You dumb fuck, Sofia! Of course I would be able to handle defending these titles with Hikari AND becoming the Universal Women’s Champion. There isn’t a tag team in this company that is able to defeat us as it is and I would be surprised if anyone is able to make an honest case to challenge us; otherwise it’s just going to be a waste of time, a defense for the sake of defending these belts. Anyone who thinks that we’ll gladly defend these belts against a team like Chained Fury can fuck right off. Otherwise, I would have no problem focusing my full attention on becoming the Universal Women’s Champion. And you know what? I’m getting pretty sick and tired of your–
(But before Miku could say another word, the trio are interrupted by a rather gangly fellow; his back slightly arched and scrabbly facial hair inconsistently running down his neck. His eyes widened, his mouth hanging ajar a little and the far from pearly white teeth merely a visual indicator of the poor hygiene. In his hands is yet another package, this one specifically marked ‘Miku’ on the side, has a heavy, dark red colour at the bottom. Concerned, all three women take a step back)
Miku Sakai: ugh, what is that stench? Can you please fuck off down that hallway? And when you get down there, fuck off even more? And when you’re at the exit to this building, keep fucking off?
????: Oh my goodness I can’t believe I finally found you two! I’ve been here for days sleeping in the basement of this building waiting for you but some really mean people keep trying to get rid of me but I finally found my beloved IDOL-GUN
(Neither Miku or Hikari recognise him)
????: Okay, surely you would recognise me Hikari, I’m your biggest fan! Roby!
(Miku turns to Hikari, confused and bewildered by Roby’s comments. Roby likewise turns to Hikari, his eyes widening and a smile stretching from ear to ear but Hikari appears visibly uncomfortable by Roby’s presence)
Hikari Kanno: Yeah…look…this is getting a little too much for me. Can you please just leave? I really don’t want this to become any kind of big mess so can you just please leave?
(Roby’s expression changes to disappointment and confusion)
Roby: w…wait…what? But I sent you all those wonderful gifts. Please, I’ll do anything for you. I’ll be your assistant, you can tread all over me! I’ll make sure your coffee is perfect, I’ll buy you anything you need. Please.
(Hikari takes a step back, his visible discomfort only growing but Miku steps in to confront Roby, who quickly remembers the package in his hands)
Roby: Oh, Miku! I’ve got this for you ahead of your match at Battle of Egypt. I really didn’t know what would help you in your No Way Out match, though I’m sure you don’t actually need it. But they say rabbit’s feet bring good fortune so I figured, if ONE gives you good fortune, then what about TEN?!? Or fifteen? Or twenty? But I could only find seven rabbits but seven is a lucky number too!
Miku Sakai: Hold up, you’re actually the same Roby, the simp, who was sending those packages? We kept on passing them off as some sick, perverted fuck in this company. What the fuck is wrong with you? You’re not a simp, you’re a fucking psychopath who belongs in a cell buried as far underground as humanly possible. We’re not monsters so what the fuck did you do to that poor guy? The fat one?
(The crazed, terrifyingly happy expression on Roby’s face sticks as an awkward silence falls. Suddenly his face snaps as he realises who Miku was talking about)
Roby: Oh. Terrance? Well he didn’t really like my plan at all; I know how precious that manga was to him and I just wanted you to sign it for him Miku. Don’t worry though, he’s okay, like you, I’m not a monster and I wouldn’t harm him.
Hikari Kanno: I’m sorry, what exactly did you get for Miku? Please don’t tell us you actually got rabbit feet.
Roby: Of course! The deer skull last time–
Miku: That was a fucking deer?
Roby: Yes! I know in Japan deer are a treasured animal of luck and fortune. I wanted to give it to you, Hikari, ahead of your Grand Rampage match but I guess it didn’t get to you in time? But thankfully Miku, I get to give you these good luck charms!
(Roby slowly begins to lift the lid on the box, immediately the foul stench races out taking Hikari, Miku and Sofia back. However before the contents of the box can be revealed, the shuffling of footsteps quickly grow loud)
????: HEY! THERE HE IS! STOP HIM!
(Immediately several members of EAW’s security crash tackle Roby to the ground. The package falls from his hands, crashing on the ground. Several objects fly out and scatter beneath the equipment cases, the trail of blood and the stench clearly gruesome enough and proof that Roby was not kidding about what he had for Miku. His eyes remain fixated on IDOL-GUN as he’s dragged away)
Miku Sakai: Hikari…
Hikari Kanno: I…I’m fine. It’s just, what if this isn’t the only case? Even if this is as bad as it will ever be, if no other simp gets as bad as Roby did, I don’t want to put myself in a position to even make it a possibility.
Miku Sakai: We can’t abandon them. They’re fucking peverted creeps usually but nobody is ever going to be whatever that creature was.
(Hikari takes a moment and shrugs)
Hikari Kanno: No, of course not. The simps are part of who we are, they’re the ‘GUN’ in IDOL-GUN. It’s just, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to be a bit more cautious with them. I don’t want us to be in any kind of danger because they might overstep the boundary between us and them. I know this whole thing concerned you as much as it concerned me. But hey, we can figure this out later, you’ve got a match to look forward to.
Miku Sakai: Sigh, you’re right but I don’t know who I want to stay further away from, that creep or Ms. Extreme…
(The humour does little to break the tension as Miku leans in and gives Hikari a hug. Sofia rests her hand on Hikari’s shoulder, to offer her own comfort but Miku promptly smacks it away. Sofia rolls her eyes and walks away as IDOL-GUN take a moment to take in what had just happened with Roby and the camera fades to black)
(Voltage returns to ringside to show Bella Braxton is standing in the ring, standing next to what looks oddly similar to a cat carrier, but is actually a cage.)
Rich Russillo: :mjlol: What the fuck is that?
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Bella Braxton: ONE FALL!!! And in this match… LIZZIE THE DOLL WILL BE SUSPENDED ABOVE THE RING!
Crowd: SADFdaADFGFASSDBVFDFSADSXFSDFSlSKAJHDAX\asdasaS
(‘Mississippi Queen’ by Mountain hits the speakers as Greg Voltaire immediately comes bouncing out of the curtains, wearing what appears to be a shiny silver puffer jacket. Dancing like any white man would, a confident Greg Voltaire begins to walk down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… hailing from San Francisco, California… weighing in at, and I quote, “223 pounds of pure jacked muscle”… GREEEEEEEEEG VOOOLTAAAAAAAAAIRE!!!!
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) Yep! That’s me!
James Peters: And here comes the man who has caused quite the stir up over recent weeks; now granted, Shane initiated it all, however Greg took it to new heights by humiliating Lizzie The Doll, crushing her with a steel chair, then humiliating SHANE by taking her side in an argument the next time they met.
Rich Russillo: As he should! Shane Gates has gone too long without proper punishment, other than the losses he’s suffered, so why shouldn’t Greg step up and be the Golden Hero that he rightfully deserves to be? This man is the living, breathing Superman of this company, and I’m surprised he doesn’t have a cape.
James Peters: :wow: I’m sure that’s what he wants you to think, definitely, but I guess we’ll just have to hear him out this week.
Persephone: Yawn! Call me when Rex is out.
(Greg Voltaire slides into the ring, before bouncing back to his feet. He raises his arms into the air, before flexing in the top rope; clearly confident in what’s going to happen this week. ‘Overlord’ by Suicide Silence floods through the speakers, replacing Greg’s theme song, as the lights slowly fade to a close, other than four spotlights on the ramp. A hooded Shane Gates begins to walk through them, one by one they turn red, before he appears in the final spotlight; hood down to his shoulders, and the lights bright as day. By his side stands Lizzie The Doll.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing his opponent… hailing from Huntington Beach, California… weighing in at 213 pounds… THE NATURAL BORN KILLER… SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE GAAAAAAAAAATES!!!!!!!!
James Peters: I know that Rich Russillo is already having a heart attack, because here comes Shane Gates, alongside the… doll… that is going to be suspended above the ring! This whole situation kicked off weeks ago, as it was set in motion that Greg Voltaire was Shane Gates’ next target, and over time it’s evolved to this moment right here.
Rich Russillo: You already know who I’m standing with, and that’s my boy Greg Voltaire. He’s been fighting back against Shane, and he’s been the one who’s winning in terms of mind games, and that’s exactly what you need. If you get into SHANE’s head, you’ve already won, because that’s where his strength comes from. The lack of care he has. It’s truly psychotic.
Persephone: Here we go again.
James Peters: Again, I don’t think what Shane does is the most morally incorrect thing here in EAW, even if I do feel he’s capable of that. What truly matters here is; he is hell bent on making sure Greg regrets fighting back, that is for sure.
Rich Russillo: Morally incorrect is not the problem here, James. It’s the fact no one is bothered.
(Shane Gates climbs up onto the apron, as he stands and waits for Lizzie to join him, moving up the steel steps, before he stares at Greg Voltaire, looking to rip a hole through him. He enters the ring, and closes his eyes, before opening them again and letting out a look that can kill, standing still as he awaits the moment he can go after Greg.)
James Peters: And here is… the moment we’ve been waiting for.
(The lights in the arena suddenly dim, as a blue light is cast on the ring. Lizzie The Doll hesitantly walks away from Shane, still with an unnatural smile on her face, as she approaches the referee. The referee kneels down, and grabs her as if she was radioactive waste he needed to erase, before cramming her in the extremely small cage. He closes the door and locks the padlock, before it slowly begins to rise above the ring; at the height of two grown men stood on top of each other.)
Referee: (off-mic) RING THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Despite their falling out last week, it’s very clear that Shane Gates is furious that Lizzie has had to be suspended above the ring, and whilst it’s not often he needs to use her to cheat in his matches, it’s more of an in-your-head kind of thing. He knows that no matter what, even if he doesn’t need to; he cannot rely on Lizzie, and that this gives Greg Voltaire a mental one up.
Rich Russillo: This is the best thing to ever happen! Lizzie can’t stare at me anymore and Shane Gates… well, it could be better. And I hope it will be, as now Greg and Shane have their sights set on each other… AS THEY CHARGE TOWARDS THE OTHER, BEFORE WAILING INTO THEM WITH PUNCHES BACK AND FORTH! SHANE AND GREG WITH TRADING STRIKES AND- what is this?
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) WAIT!!!!!!!!! Look up… Lizzie’s in the air! :mjlol: :mjlol:
James Peters: Oh no, Greg Voltaire is trying to wind up Shane Gates’ nerves and it looks to be working, as Shane takes a huge deep breath with his head shaking… BEFORE THROWING A HUGE CLOTHESLINE!
Rich Russillo: BUT HE WAS OUTSMARTED! GREG VOLTAIRE IN ALL OF HIS GLORY LURED SHANE GATES INTO HIS TRAP, AND DUCKED THE LARIAT BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES! GREG VOLTAIRE LOOKS TO BE GOING FOR A BIG BOOT- BUT SHANE CATCHES HIM BY THE GUT AND LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND! SIDE POWERSLAM-
James Peters: GREG VOLTAIRE COUNTERS! HE SHIFTS OVER TO SHANE’S HEAD, AND APPEARS TO BE GOING FOR A HEADSCISSORS? Well… it’s a very sloppy one! He can’t quite get it!
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) BACK UP PLAN!
James Peters: OH! HE WASN’T ABLE TO GET THE SWINGING HEADSCISSORS, SO INSTEAD HE TRANSITIONS INTO A VICTORY ROLL! THE LEVERAGE PIN FROM GREG VOLTAIRE, PERHAPS IT COULD BE OVER?
ONEEEE-
Rich Russillo: NO! SHANE GATES GETS OUT OF IT, BY ROLLING GREG OFF OF HIM THEN GETTING TO HIS FEET AND DEADLIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND! GERMAN SUPLEEEEEE- YES! GREG FIGHTS OUT OF IT WITH A HUGE BACK ELBOW, BEFORE TAKING A TACTICAL RETREAT OUT OF THE RING! :whew:
James Peters: That was more so a cowardly retreat, but I’ll run with it, I guess. Greg is now in front of our announce table, thinking he’s saf- WAIT! LOOK IN THE RING! SHANE GATES RUNS THE ROPES… SUICIDE DIVE STRAIGHT ONTO GREG VOLTAIRE! WE NORMALLY NEVER SEE SHANE DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT HE PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS JUST TO GET THE MAN THAT HAS BEEN HIS NUMBER 1 TARGET FOR WEEKS!
Rich Russillo: SDFSDAFSD NO! NO! STOP! HE DOESN’T JUST END AT A SUICIDE DIVE, AS THEY LAND ON TOP OF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE, HE INSTANTLY TRANSITIONS INTO BEATING THE LIVING HELL OUT OF GREG! DON’T RUIN HIS PRECIOUS LOOKS, GOD DAMN IT! OH LORD, THEY’RE SPILLING OVER TO THIS SIDE! WATCH OUT!
Greg Voltaire: (now-on-comentary-headset) MY BACK! MY FUCKIN BACK! FEELS LIKE I LANDED ON A STRONG FORD FOCUS. :noah:
Shane Gates: (off-mic) SHUT! *punch* UP! *punch* LITTLE! *punch* BITCH! *punch*
Rich Russillo: Wait… who’s headset is that?
James Peters: Why is Persephone not wearing… nevermind.
(Greg and Shane topple back over the announce table, spilling a bottle of water in the process.)
Rich Russillo: Get Shane off of him! He’s trying to end this man :lupe:. He seems to be frustrated that he can never beat any one of his targets, and now he’s just trying to make sure he does it this tim-
James Peters: BUT GREG VOLTAIRE CAUGHT SHANE AS HE WAS THROWING A PUNCH, ‘COLD FEET’ CONNECTS!!! STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI! SHANE GATES FALLS DOWN, WITH THE APRON CATCHING HIM, AND NOW GREG IS FINALLY IN CONTROL AS HE ROLLS SHANE INTO THE RING AND GETS ONTO THE APRON… WHAT IS HE PLANNING?
Rich Russillo: OH MY! GREG VOLTAIRE IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE, PERHAPS LOOKING FOR THE MISSILE DROPKICK HE USED LAST WEEK! HE AWAITS SHANE GATES, BEFORE LEAPING-
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) OH SHIT!
Rich Russillo: BUT SHANE GATES MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, LEAVING GREG VOLTAIRE TO CRASH TO THE MAT AND HIT HIS BACK, PROBABLY, VERY HARD! …where’s the sound?
(Suddenly the camera pans up to Lizzie’s “cage.”)
Rich Russillo: FDEFSDASFDFSDSDF WHAT!?!? HOW DID GREG DO THAT??? HE’S NOW DANGLING FROM THAT CAT CARRIER, SON GOT HOPS!
(The rustling of a headset is heard.)
Persephone: It’s not that high up you fucking idiot, anything that takes you a few feet off the ground would let you reach it.
Rich Russillo: THAT DOESN’T MATTER HUN, HE’S **DANGLING** FROM A **CAT CARRIER**!!!! I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE! THIS IS AMAZING! GREG VOLTAIRE REALLY IS AN AMAZING IN-RING PERFORMER! :whew:
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) What are you gonna do now, ya hairy bastard? Jump??
James Peters: Greg Voltaire is now mocking Shane Gates, as it appears Shane can’t get him at all; all he can do is just hope his grip breaks, but there’s no sign of that! He’s hanging onto there, no pun intended, like a cat!
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) It’s over, Shane. I have the high ground!
Rich Russillo: Yes he does! And anyone who’s anyone knows that the highground is how you win in literally anything. Wrestling, sword battles… soccer! Anything-
(BANG!)
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) Huh?
(Greg Voltaire looks up, only to see Lizzie The Doll bashing against the cage, right in front of his face.)
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) AHHHHHHHHHH!!!
James Peters: GREG VOLTAIRE JUST GOT THE SOUL SCARED OUT OF HIM, AS HE SAW LIZZIE THE DOLL RIGHT NEXT TO HIM! THERE WAS NO ESCAPE AFTER ALL; AND NOW HE LETS GO OF HIS GRIP, AND BEGINS TO FALL!
Rich Russillo: BUT SHANE GATES CATCHES HIM! SHANE, OUT OF THE AIR, GRABS GREG VOLTAIRE, BEFORE PLANTING HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A HUGE POWERBOMB! HE MAY HAVE JUST KILLED GREG VOLTAIRE!!! SHANE GATES KNEW IT WAS COMING, IT MAY HAVE JUST BEEN THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO **HIM** AS HE KNEW LIZZIE WAS INSIDE! BUT HE ISN’T ENDING AT JUST ONE POWERBOMB, HOLDING ON TO THE ARMS AND WAIST OF GREG VOLTAIRE, BEFORE LIFTING HIS LIFELESS BODY OFF THE GROUND, AND HITTING A SECOND POWERBOMB! AND FOR GOOD MEASURE, HE LIFTS UP GREG VOLTAIRE AND HITS A THIRD POWERBOMB! ‘ACES HIGH’ COMBO HITS, AND SHANE TRANSITIONS INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: KICK OUT! GREG VOLTAIRE KICKS OUT! I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW HE DID IT, BUT HE MANAGED TO POWER OUT OF THE COVER AND GET THE SHOULDER UP; HE’S STILL IN IT! SHANE GATES APPEARS TO BE SHOCKED, BUT HE’S NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR GREG TO RECOVER! HE GRABS GREG BY THE WRIST AND PULLS HIM STRAIGHT INTO A LARIAT! AN INCOMPLETE VERSION OF THE RIPCORD LARIAT THAT USUALLY FINISHES ‘SUFFER AS ONE’!!! GREG VOLTAIRE DROPS STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND, BUT SHANE KEEPS AHOLD OF HIS WRIST! THAT ISN’T THE FULL VERSION OF HIS FINISHER; HE DOESN’T THINK IT’LL END IT!
Rich Russillo: HE’S GOING TO HIT IT AGAIN! GREG, SAVE YOURSELF! QUICK! NO! FUCK, NO! SHANE GATES LIFTS GREG VOLTAIRE UP, AND GRABS THE WRIST! ‘SUFFER AS ONE’!!!!!! RIPCORD LARIAT-
James Peters: ‘HAND OF GOD’!!!! THE LIGHTNING FIST TO SHANE GATES, IT CONNECTS THE SECOND HE’S HIT WITH THE RIPCORD LARIAT! BOTH MEN DROP TO THE FLOOR, AND APPEAR TO BE LIFELESS!!!! GREG VOLTAIRE AND SHANE GATES LIE ON THE FLOOR, NEITHER ABLE TO RECOVER; THEY’RE BOTH OUT OF IT!
Referee: (off-mic) :oh: Are neither of you fellers getting up? Alrighty…
James Peters: :lupe: The referee is going to start his count! If he reaches 10, this match is a draw!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
James Peters: Greg and Shane are stirring!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
James Peters: But it won’t be enough! They’re not able to fully recover in time-
NINE!
James Peters: BUT BOTH GREG AND SHANE, HEADS PRESSED AGAINST EACH OTHER, MANAGE TO GET UP TO THEIR KNEES, BOTH OF THEM ARE BACK INTO IT! GREG WITH THE RIGHT HOOK! SHANE WITH THE LEFT! GREG! SHANE! GREG! SHANE! SHANE! SHANE-
Rich Russillo: GREG VOLTAIRE DUCKS A PUNCH, AND NOW BEGINS TO CRAWL ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING! GREG TRIES TO TAKE ANOTHER TACTICAL RETREAT OVER THE BOTTOM ROPE, HOWEVER SHANE GATES GRABS BOTH OF HIS LEGS, AND LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND! GREG VOLTAIRE IS HANGING ONTO THE ROPES WITH BOTH OF HIS ARMS… OH NO!
James Peters: SHANE GATES FORCES GREG TO DO A FRONT FLIP ONTO HIS FEET, AND THEN GRABS HIM BY THE WAIST! SHANE GATES GOES FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX THAT TENDS TO PRECEDE HIS FINISHING MOVE, BUT GREG IS ONE STEP AHEAD! HE PUSHES HIS FEET OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND ROLLS INTO A COVER! HE GRABS THE TIGHTS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: (off-mic) I SEE YOU ON THE TIGHTS!
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) I’M NOT HOLDING THE-
James Peters: AND NOW SHANE GATES ROLLS BACKWARDS, TRANSITIONING GREG INTO A ROLL UP OF HIS OWN! GREG CAN’T DO ANYTHING; HIS ARMS ARE AGAINST THE MAT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEE-
Referee: (off-mic) ROPE BREAK!
James Peters: BUT GREG VOLTAIRE MANAGED TO GET HIS ARM ON THE ROPE IN THE NICK OF TIME! GREG GETS UP OUT OF THE COVER AND SPRINTS TOWARDS SHANE- BUT HE’S INSTANTLY LIFTED UP INTO THE AIR WITH A SPINEBUSTER! ROLLED INTO A SUPERKICK! ‘KILL SHOT’ CONNECTS, AND NOW SHANE GOES INTO ANOTHER COVER, MAYBE THE FINAL ONE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: GREG VOLTAIRE POWERS OUT OF IT! YES! HE STAYS IN, SAVING HIMSELF FROM THE ANTICS OF SHANE GATES! BUT SHANE WON’T LET THAT LAST LONG, AS HE GRABS HIM BY THE FACE, AND LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND! OH NO, HE’S ABOUT TO HIT THE IRON CLAW CHOKESLAM! ‘RECKONING’!!!!-
James Peters: BUT GREG VOLTAIRE GRABS INTO THE CAGE THAT LIZZIE IS LOCKED IN ONCE MORE, AS HE STEPS ONTO SHANE’S SHOULDERS AND JUMPS INTO THE AIR! SHANE DOESN’T REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED, UNTIL HE LOOKS UP, BUT BY THEN GREG IS ALREADY IN CONTROL! GREG LETS GO AGAIN, BUT MANAGES TO DROP INTO A CROSSBODY, CRUSHING SHANE! HE TRANSITIONS INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! SHANE KICKS OUT **AGAIN**! HOWEVER THIS TIME IT’S GREG WHO JUMPS STRAIGHT BACK INTO RECOVERY, AS HE GRABS SHANE’S WRIST AND PULLS HIM OFF THE GROUND! HE KICKS HIS GUT, THEN LIFTS HIM INTO THE AIR! BUCKLE BOMB! ‘PROPER POSTURE’ TO SHANE GATES SENDS HIM STUMBLING FORWARD, AND THEN GREG RUNS THE ROPES… ‘COLD FEET’!!! THE STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI, THIS TIME A RUNNING VARIATION, SHANE GATES COULD BE OUT AGAIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
James Peters: BUT IT ISN’T ENOUGH! SHANE POWERS OUT OF TWO SIGNATURE MOVES ONE AFTER ANOTHER, AND GREG VOLTAIRE HAS GONE BUG-EYED! HE TRULY DOESN’T BELIEVE THAT HE’S DONE THIS, AND ISN’T MANAGING TO CAPITALIZE! HE GETS BACK UP, AND BEGINS TO KICK SHANE IN THE HEAD LIGHTLY TO MOCK HIM!
Greg Voltaire: (off-mic) STAY DOWN YOU LITTLE SHIT! STAY! DOW-
James Peters: BUT SHANE GATES GRABS HIM BY THE FOOT AND BEGINS TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET, LIFTING HIS FOOT OFF THE GROUND, LEAVING HIM TO HOP! SHANE THEN SPINS HIM AROUND- BUT HE’S MET WITH A HUGE BACK ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Rich Russillo: AND NOW GREG VOLTAIRE LOOKS TO KEEP DAMAGING SHANE GATES AS HE RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES; REBOUNDING BACK AROUND AND STICKING HIS BOOT UP! BIG BOOT! STRAIGHT TO THE JAW, HE MUST HAVE SENT A TOOTH FLYING WITH THAT!
James Peters: BUT GREG VOLTAIRE **STILL** ISN’T FINISHED, AS HE GOES BACK TO RUNNING THE ROPES, FACING A KNEELING SHANE GATES, BEFORE CLOBBERING HIM WITH A SLIDING CLOTHESLINE! SHANE IS COMPLETELY DOWN, AND NOW GREG VOLTAIRE IS IN CONTROL, GOING TO THE CORNER, AND CHARGING UP HIS FINISHING MOVE; ‘HAND OF GOD’ THE LIGHTNING FIST, AND IT COULD ALL BE OVER-
(CRASH!!!!)
James Peters: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!?
(Suddenly, the cage door flies off its hinges, and crashes into the mat making a… small scale… sounding bang.)
Rich Russillo: OH GOD! OH NO, LIZZIE BROKE OPEN THE DOOR! SHE’S ESCAPED, AND GREG VOLTAIRE IS SHOCKED AT THIS, LOOKING UP AT THE “CAGE” EYES WIDENED, AS LIZZIE LOOKS TO BE JUMPING DOWN- NO! NO! NO!
James Peters: ‘SUFFER AS ONE’!!!!!!! RIPCORD LARIAT! THE RIPCORD LARIAT TAKES GREG VOLTAIRE OUT COMPLETELY, AND NOW SHANE GATES DROPS DOWN INTO A COVER! HE COULD HAVE JUST WON THIS ONE TONIGHT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… SHAAAAAAAAANE GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATES!!!!!!!!!
(‘Overlord’ by Suicide Silence hits the speakers as Shane Gates rolls off of Greg Voltaire, holding his jaw as it was just striked over and over again by an opportunistic Greg Voltaire, trying to lure Shane in over and over, only to have the same done to him.)
Rich Russillo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! This psychopath has finally done it! He’s beaten one of his targets! And it’s all thanks to that meddling doll! Who built that… container? You had one job and that was to contain; but she’s out! The fucking doll is out!
Persephone: Stop bitching, bitch.
Rich Russillo: :noah:
James Peters: He! Has! Done it! Shane Gates takes out the man he has been targeting for weeks now, and picks up huge momentum heading into the Gauntlet Match next week at Battle Of Egypt! Not only is he defeating another competitor in the match; proving he isn’t the weak link, but he’s finally at a mental high… sort of… as he has FINALLY defeated his target. He failed before, but now, Shane Gates has pulled himself onto the right track!
Rich Russillo: Man, I’m not ready for this new era of Shane Gates. He’s definitely stepped up his game, and as a humble man, I’m willing to admit that. He’s definitely more ready than he was before :lupe: let’s just hope he’s not going to be the same psychopath that’s willing to rip people’s hair out, take their teeth, and just be a maniac. I can live with the doll. The doll isn’t gonna do anything other than give me earache. What’s scary is that this man could very much be the next New Breed Champion, and if that happens… Voltage could be a very different place.
James Peters: You’re not wrong, Shane Gates has all the chance in the world at coming out on top if he remains as focused as he has done this week, and beyond. This is the most danger Andre Walker’s title has been in a long time, and I’m sure Lizzie and Shane would enjoy it if they were the ones to stop history from being made in the process…but either way, Shane Gates is definitely not going to stop at Greg Voltaire, that’s for sure.
Rich Russillo: :noah: Dark days are upon us, aren’t they?
Persephone: Hopefully so when you get evicted from your house and I don’t have to deal with your shit anymore.
(As Shane Gates celebrates on the top rope, arms spread to his side, Voltage fades out to commercial break.)
(A commercial for a DIY Flashbang featuring Impact plays, where he simply opens Discord on his phone and turns on light mode.)
(Voltage fades backstage, and the virtual fans immediately begin booing as hard as they can as they see Harper Lee and Ximena Velasquez walking through the hallway. The two are both clearly pleased with their victories on Dynasty over Mary S. Atlas and Alexis Chambers respectively, and Harper has a big grin on her face as the two seem to be in the middle of a conversation.)
Harper Lee: I was watching your match real closely Xi, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. The way you squashed Mary was awesome! She didn’t stand a chance.
Ximena Velasquez: I told her exactly what was going to happen if she entered the ring with La Diosa. Mary didn’t listen, and she paid the price for it. She didn’t even deserve to be in the same ring as me. We’re going to take over this company, and people like Mary and Alexis Chambers never stood a chance of stopping us.
Harper Lee: That’s right. If Alexis knew better she woulda just stayed home, but she just insists on embarrassing herself every week and next week is gonna go the exact same way. For some reason Lexi actually thinks she stands a chance in the No Way Out match. :mjlol:
Ximena Velasquez: Alexis proved she didn’t belong in that No Way Out match on Dynasty. I have no doubt that things won’t go her way again.
Harper Lee: Of course they won’t. It’s Alexis Chambers in a World title contendership match, and I’m in that match! I was hoping we’d actually be able to pay the rest of the No Way Out competitors a visit, but I don’t see any of them around here. Weird. Maybe they’re scared of us, not that I’d blame them. We’re US! La Diosa and La Guerita! The best women’s wrestlers on the roster! The…
(Before Harper could finish, she looks around the corner as she overhears two people talking. Harper looks, and once she realizes who it is, the grin on her face widens.)
(The camera cuts to Alexis Chambers sitting on a production crate, talking to her brother and former EAW Champion Terry Chambers. The two are talking about Alexis’ upcoming match at Battle of Egypt, as well as Alexis’ match against Harper just a few days ago on Dynasty.)
Alexis Chambers: Trust me Terry, I’m going to win that No Way Out match and I’m going to main event Pain for Pride. I know, things didn’t go my way on Dynasty, but there’s still a week until we actually have to step inside that chamber and I’m going to be prepared for it. This is the biggest opportunity of my career and I’m not about to let it go to waste.
Terry Chambers: I believe you, but you do know what type of competitors you’ll be facing in that match, right?
Alexis Chambers: Yeah I do, and I don’t care who I’m facing. There’s a Universal Women’s Championship match at Pain for Pride on the line here. I don’t care if I have to face the entire women’s roster at Battle of Egypt. I’m going to do everything in my power to win that match. All of the other competitors in that match are going to count me out, and that’s going to be their biggest mistake-
???: Awww, look who it is!
(Harper and Ximena walk up to Alexis and Terry, and immediately Alexis rolls her eyes as she knows what’s coming.)
Harper Lee: Hi Lexi! Ouch… You don’t look so good. What happened?
Alexis Chambers: ….
Harper Lee: Oh, that’s right. Almost forgot. I totally beat you on Dynasty :mjlol2:! You sure you still wanna enter that No Way Out match? It’d be a shame if you got hurt.
Ximena Velasquez: :usure:
Harper Lee: Well… You’re right. It’d actually be pretty funny, almost as funny as Lexi thinking she could actually win the match :mjlol:!
(Alexis shakes her head, almost like she’s trying to ignore Harper, which the latter and Ximena clearly find amusing.)
Alexis Chambers: Battle of Egypt can’t come soon enough.
Harper Lee: Mhm. Guess I’ll see you next week. Hopefully not though. You’ve embarrassed yourself enough already, don’t you think?
Alexis Chambers: That’s it..
(Alexis gets off of the production crate and stands up to Harper, but knowing that Ximena Velasquez is standing next to Harper, Terry steps in and separates Alexis from Harper. He looks at Alexis and shakes his head, and reluctantly Alexis follows Terry as the two walk away. Harper looks pretty proud of herself, and Ximena looks unimpressed by Alexis Chambers.)
Ximena Velasquez: If that’s supposed to be one of your opponents next week, you might be getting an easy ticket to Pain for Pride.
(Harper and Ximena turn around, but as soon as they do so they’re greeted by Sierra Bradford. Harper looks shocked, clearly caught off guard by Sierra’s presence. Ximena doesn’t seem too phased by Sierra, but Sierra looks less than happy to see the two on Voltage.)
Sierra Bradford: What the hell are you doing here?
Harper Lee: Oh.. Y’know. Just trying to get to know my opponents before my big match with a Universal Women’s Championship opportunity on the line. Nothing much.
Sierra Bradford: Very funny. You don’t deserve that opportunity and you know that. You don’t deserve anything after the shit you pulled at Reckless Wiring after I gave EVERYTHING to the Realm. It’s not my fault you decided to be a dumbass and get yourself killed when we were facing Mary S. Atlas and Holly fucking Arrow. We could’ve fought to the end of the match together but instead you got yourself blown up, and still you blame me for losing that match. We were friends for years and you threw it all away for that. Five months as Unified Tag Team Champions and we could’ve done so much more. We could’ve actually become one of the best tag teams in the world Harper, and you threw it away just so you could team up with her?
Ximena Velasquez: Guera knew exactly what she was doing getting rid of you at Reckless Wiring. You’ve been holding her back this whole time and she stopped you before you could drag her down to her level. Now La Guera doesn’t have to worry about pulling someone’s weight.
Harper Lee: Exactly! See, Xi gets it! There’s a reason I’m already back in the title scene while you’re doing.. Whatever you’re doing. I’ve always been the more talented member of the Realm. I’ve always been the member of the Realm putting in all the hard work while you did nothing. I had to carry your weight throughout the five months we were Champions, and now I don’t have to do that. I don’t have to go through any of that again. Now, I get the opportunity to become World Champion.
Sierra Bradford: And after you lose the No Way Out match, then what? I’m telling you Harper, you’re going to regret doing what you did. You have some fucking nerve even showing up to Voltage after everything you did. I bet you’re really proud of what you did to me Harper, but things aren’t over between us. I’m not just gonna let you get away with all of that, not when I spent so long trusting you more than anyone. You threw everything we built together away, and I promise that’s going to come back to bite you.
Harper Lee: Really? Come back to bite me how? I’ve been thriving since I “betrayed you”, and you’ve been doing anything but. Sounds to me like I made the right choice.
Sierra Bradford: You’ll see. I’ll admit it really hurt when you betrayed me Harper, but back then I clearly didn’t know who you are. I didn’t know a single thing about you, but now I do. Now I know just how much of a snake you are, and trust me. Things aren’t going to just end with Candice Blair. She’s not the only one whose ass I plan to kick. I had to put up with so much bullshit in the past few months and now I’m making it my mission to finally clean it all up. Next week I’m gonna beat Candice Blair and finally take her out of my life after WEEKS of her getting involved with my personal life, and once I’m done with Candice, mark my words. I’m going to get my revenge, and if you thought what you did to me back at Reckless Wiring was bad just wait until I finally get my hands on you-
(Before Sierra could finish, Ximena Velasquez grabs her by the throat and lifts her up into the air before slamming her into the wall. As Ximena chokes Sierra against the wall, the same smile from before creeps back up on Harper’s face.)
Harper Lee: Aw, I’m sorry. I couldn’t catch that last part. Mind repeating that?
(Sierra’s unable to respond due to her being choked by Ximena, and Harper shakes her head.)
Harper Lee: Thought so. Look, I know you want your revenge and all that, but I’m off to bigger and better things now. I’m doing what I should’ve been doing for a long time now, and I’m not about to let you of all people get in the way of me finally winning a World Championship. If I were you I’d just go back to Drake’s side and stop complaining. You’ll never touch me Sierra, and if you even try I have no problem finishing what I started back at Reckless Wiring-
(Suddenly, Sierra rakes the eyes of Ximena Velasquez, causing Ximena to let go of her. Immediately Sierra goes after the unexpecting Harper, grabbing her face and slamming it into the wall. Ximena Velasquez is soon able to recover from the eye rake, immediately going after Sierra with a kick to the midsection. Ximena goes for another strike, but Sierra is able to duck under it and grab Ximena before ramming the larger woman into the wall, causing Ximena to drop to her knees. Sierra then grabs Ximena and sends her crashing into the production crates, taking her out.)
(Sierra notices Harper trying to get back up to her feet, and Sierra grabs her before lifting her up into the torture rack, dropping her with the “Self Destructor” torture rack knee strike. With Harper and Ximena taken out, Sierra grabs Harper by the face.)
Sierra Bradford: I’m done playing nice. Watch your back going forward because I’m coming for you, and there’s not a damn thing either of you can do to stop it.
(Sierra slams Harper’s head onto the ground, before finally walking away as the two Dynasty Elitists are out. From there, Voltage fades away from the area.)
(SCREEN BAR — EARLIER THIS WEEK.)
(The scene fades inside a cute little dressing room. The director’s chair has ‘Ahren Fournier’ written in cursive on the back of the chair. There’s a smaller director’s chair that has ‘Jennipurr’ written on the back of the chair. Both of them seem like matching sets, but it’s adorable for the duo. There is a huge vanity in front of those chairs with a bunch of makeup on the desk. There’s a bunch of ribbons and hairpins, which are more likely for Jennipurr than Ahren. There’s black leather couch on one of the sides of the walls and a coffee table in front of it. On the other side of the wall, there’s a bunch of gifts and fruit baskets that fans have sent Jennipurr all-week long. They’ve lost count on how many presents they’ve gotten, but it’s a lot. The door is heard opening as Ahren Fournier and Jennipurr get inside of the dressing room. Ahren is dressed in a ‘Godfather’ like pinstripe suit with the small rose on the pocket while Jennipurr has her fur slicked and clean for the photoshoot.)
Ahren Fournier (on the phone): Sigh…in order to meet this photoshoot, I would need to cancel the photoshoot with Chris…Chris…Chris…sigh…which Chris did it again? Was it Hemsworth?
(Ahren Fournier looks at Jennipurr for an answer.)
Jennipurr: Meow… (In translation: Pratt.)
Ahren Fournier (to Jennipurr): Wait…it was Chris Pratt? Fuck that douche. Why did I agree for you to do a photoshoot with Chris Pratt?
Jennipurr: Meow…meow…meow…meow… (In translation: You stopped listening when they said he was in that one Marvel movie.)
Ahren Fournier (on the phone): After talking to her, I think that we maybe able to rearrange some things. Mr. Pratt will understand that with Jennipurr being in high demand as of late, some people are going to need to get moved to the side for the time being. Just last week, we had to cancel on Ryan Reynolds —
Jennipurr: Meow! (In translation: Gosling.)
Ahren Fournier: (to Jennipurr) They all look the same to me. (To the phone) But ye, last week we had to cancel on Mr. Gosling and we had to pencil him in until July for his photoshoot. He was upset, but I told him that he can accept July or Jennipurr walks and he was like: “k” and I was like “k” and that was that. He’s not that big of a star to be calling the shots here. Jennipurr is the star of the show, hmmm okay? I can’t believe that these big shots wanna pretend that they hold a candle to my sweet Jennipurr. So entitled and full of themselves? “How’s Tuesday at 9am?” Like??? 9am? Do you really expect for Jennipurr to go on with just twelve hours of sleep? These go against cat labor laws. But, who is this hot shot who thinks that they have the right to be calling the shots with Jennipurr?
(Ahren Fournier sits Jennipurr down in his director’s chair. Then, he plants himself next to Jennipurr on his own director’s chair. He begins to take a sip of his tap water as he listens on the phone.)
(Ahren Fournier spits the water out, startling Jennipurr.)
Ahren Fournier: (to the phone)THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
Jennipurr: Meow? (In translation: The president?)
Ahren Fournier: (to the phone) A photoshoot with Champ and Major Biden and Jennipurr? Look, you know how stern I am about Jennipurr getting solo covers, but this could give Jennipurr influence…in the WHITE HOUSE! THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE? Omg, I could be President of the United States? :oh:
Jennipurr: Meow…meow…meow— (In translation: I don’t think it works like —)
Ahren Fournier: Don’t ruin my dreams, Jennipurr. (To the phone) Sigh, I am really going to need to sit down with Champ and Major’s consultants about the whole concept for the photoshoot. I have a bunch of creative ideas that I need to use somehow. Yes, all of them involve Jennipurr being in the middle, but since she’s the only cat in the situation, it needs to be her. That is probably one detail I am going to be VERY strict about, but I can be persuaded if the concept is great, but let me tell you. Whenever someone has suggested concepts to me, they’ve been trash and that has made me very sad.
(KNOCK! KNOCK!)
(Ahren Fournier puts the phone down before looking at the door with an annoyed look on his face.)
Ahren Fournier: You may come in! (To the phone) I gotta go! I’ll call you back soon enough!
(The door opens as Sofia Clarke, Voltage’s Interviewer, walks in. Ahren Fournier hangs up the call as he lets out a sigh, since this thing must be work related, but he figures to get it over with.)
Ahren Fournier: Why does work have to follow me everywhere? :noah:
Sofia Clarke: I just need a quick statement for the EAW site, Ahren and then, I’ll be on my way. I got a few of these that I need to do before Sunday.
Ahren Fournier Mhmm..okay, ask questions!
Sofia Clarke: Well, I’m here to collect a response going into your National Elite Championship match with TLA —
(KNOCK! KNOCK!)
(Both Ahren Fournier, Jennipurr and Sofia Clarke look at the door, where a UPS man is there with a huge box wrapped in a bow.)
UPS Guy: Mr. Fournier, I have a delivery for you.
Ahren Fournier: I love gifts. Bring me and Jennipurr all the gifts and the world. It’s what we deserve. Just place it behind me. I’ll get to it after this little brief interview thingy.
(The UPS Guy does as Ahren Fournier tells him and places the long vertical gift behind the former World Champion before making his way out the door. Before Ahren resumes with the interview, he looks at the name tag of the gift.)
Ahren Fournier: “To: Ahren and Jennipurr. From: TLA.” Ew, it’s from TLA. That means the present must be infected with STDs and aids or whatever the Poon Palace is crawling with. I can’t believe that my beloved Jennipurr almost got it.
Jennipurr: Meow…meow…meow! (In translation: I disinfected myself and showed four times a day for the past few days.)
Ahren Fournier: Come here, Sofia or whatever your name is, what I am going to rant about next is something that you’re going to want to get for the EAW site. The words of ‘The GOAT’ are something that you need to listen to too because I am only going to rant about this once and once only. I am a motherfucking star. Jennipurr is one of the hottest rising cat models that the world has ever seen and that’s something that TLA and that little mutt of his would never be. I am a natural born leader who has led the Voltage brand to victory back at Territorial Invasion earlier this season. Meanwhile, TLA couldn’t lead an STD away from the Poon Palace. I bet that place is crawling with them and that goes back to TLA’s leadership. Now, we’re supposed to expect him to lead the National Elite Championship picture? We’re supposed to consider TLA as someone that we can trust ourselves with. This man EMBARRASSED the National Elite Championship picture at Grand Rampage and before you neckbeards be all like: “but, but, but you were eliminated first from Grand Rampage!” Ugh, I was saving my energy for Battle of Egypt. I was focused solely on what I could do to SAVE the National Elite Championship from TLA. I already had so much on my plate from my own modeling gigs to managing Jennipurr to this match at Battle of Egypt. Grand Rampage seemed to be a bit of an inconvenience, you feel me?
(The gift behind Ahren Fournier begins to shake, but Ahren continues to talk.)
Ahren Fournier: Besides, everyone should THANK me for being the first eliminated from the match, but did I get a “thank you?” No, I didn’t because all of you are ungrateful that a great human being like myself would sacrifice himself for the greater cause. It’s more than TLA has done during his little pathetic reign as National Elite Champion. I mean, who the fuck gives a shit about the National Elite Championship? No one cared when Sienna Jade was champion. No one cared when Myles was champion and no one cares about TLA. It doesn’t matter if he has the championship or not, but no one cares about TLA as a person. I mean, have you looked at him. His ‘designer’ clothes. Probably all fake or brought from a thrift store. This suit? This is from Ralph Lauren. It’s the real shit. I don’t just dress up to look the part. I AM the part, I am the Captain of Voltage. I am ‘The GOAT’ and at Battle of Egypt, I am going to be the next National Elite Champion as I make people care about the title again.
(Slowly, the gift begins to take off the top part as it is revealed to be TLA behind Ahren Fournier. Steroid Dawg stands next to the National Elite Champion, but Ahren has no idea what is happening.)
Sofia Clarke: You’re stating that no one cares about the National Elite Championship?
Ahren Fournier: Duh!
(Sofia Clarke can clearly see that TLA is behind Ahren Fournier, but tries to hide her grin on her face.)
Sofia Clarke: Let’s say that if TLA was standing behind you, would you keep that same statement?
Ahren Fournier: Why the fuck would I change my stance? No one cares about TLA. He is an awful National Elite Championship. The only way to save the title is by taking the title away from him. I am the man to get it done. No one cares about him. Hell, even Steroid Dawg — by the way, terrible name — doesn’t even care about him. Steroid Dawg is OBSESSED with Jennipurr. You see? Jennipurr is becoming a role model for animals around the world. Before you know it, EVERY animal will have a poster of Jennipurr around their walls. She will be a household name that no one can ignore. Meanwhile, TLA will be nothing more than a salty bih, who has been dying to get Steroid Dawg the clout that Jennipurr has, but like her father, is nothing more than a fucking loser —
(Ahren Fournier is turned around as TLA jumps on Ahren before proceeding to beat his ass. Sofia Clarke gets the hell away from the fight scene as TLA is delivering some stiff left and right to his opponent at Battle of Egypt. But, Ahren begins to find himself back in the fight as he throws some left in right as he manages to make it to a vertical base before throwing TLA towards the coffee table. Ahren takes off his cufflinks before going to elbow TLA on the coffee table, but TLA rolls out of the table as Ahren fucks up his elbow as TLA gets Ahren and throws him towards Jennipurr’s director’s chair and tumbles the chair over.)
Jennipurr: MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
(The shriek of Jennipurr is heard as she falls off her director’s chair and lands on the couch. Jennipurr is out cold completely, despite the soft landing as Ahren Fournier’s looks in complete disbelief that TLA would cross a line. It’s something to hit him, but to make Jennipurr take some of the attack is the ultimate disrespect.)
Ahren Fournier: NO ONE HURTS JENNIPURR!!!!!!
(Ahren Fournier pounces onto TLA before knocking him over the pile of presents that were lying in the dressing room. He grabs one of the hand mirrors and smashes it over the skull of the National Elite Champion. Ahren begins to throw some punches to the face of TLA before security races into the dressing room to separate the two men.)
Ahren Fournier: YOU ARE FUCKING DONE AT BATTLE OF EGYPT, TLA!!!!
TLA: COME HERE AND SAY IT TO MY FACE, PUSSY!!!!
(The two men are bickering as TLA finds himself being escorted by security out of the dressing room. Ahren Fournier goes out, trying to talk shit to TLA, but security is holding him back. While that is going on, Steroid Dawg begins to check on Jennipurr, who is being dramatic for the cameras. Steroid Dawg grabs a piece of paper and begins to fan Jennipurr as the scene fades elsewhere.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… Please welcome Showdown’s ANDREA VALENTINE AND RAVEN ROBERTS!!!!
(The virtual crowd immediately begins cheering, but before long the cheers die down thanks to ‘Roll With Me’ by Charli XCX beginning to play. The virtual crowd starts booing, as Andrea Valentine’s actions over the course of this season has changed the fans opinion of her, especially after what she did at Grand Rampage. Andrea doesn’t seem to pay too much attention to the boos though, and instead makes her way down to ringside.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we have a preview match for the Universal Women’s Championship contenders No Way Out match between Ms. Extreme and Miku Sakai, and right now we have Showdown’s Andrea Valentine and Raven Roberts at ringside!
Rich Russillo: Andrea Valentine has once again made herself an enemy to the fans after betraying Raven Roberts and Ms. Extreme in the Grand Rampage match, returning to eliminate Raven after Raven had already eliminated Andrea!
Persephone: Andrea did nothing wrong.
(‘In My Bones’ by the Score hits, and the cheering returns as Raven Roberts returns to Voltage, making her way out to the stage. Raven’s eyes immediately dart towards Andrea Valentine, and Raven shakes her head as she makes her way down the ramp and towards the ring, clearly still not happy with Andrea’s actions during the Grand Rampage match.)
Persephone: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
James Peters: And here comes Raven Roberts! It’s probably not going to be easy for Raven to stay at ringside tonight knowing Andrea Valentine is right there, but somehow she has to do it!
Rich Russillo: That’s right. Things could either go smoothly, or these two are going to tear each other apart, and they’re not even the ones competing.
Persephone: As long as Raven dies, I’m fine with it.
(‘Gangsta’ by New Years Day hits, and the virtual crowd begins cheering even louder than before as the first actual competitor in the match, Ms. Extreme, makes her way out to the stage for her first match since Grand Rampage. The cheering continues as Ms. Extreme walks down to the ring, and on her way there Ms. Extreme looks over at Andrea, clearly not forgetting about what she did.)
Bella Braxton: Making her way to the ring…. From Calabasas, California…. Weighing in at 135 pounds….. MIISSSSSSSSS EEEEEXXXXXTTRRREEEEEEEEMMMEEEE!!!!
James Peters: Now here we go! Ms. Extreme didn’t win the Grand Rampage match like she wanted, but in the end she managed to capture a new opportunity for herself with this No Way Out match! If she wins she’ll be able to main event Pain for Pride in a Universal Women’s Championship match!
Persephone: Right.. I think you forgot to mention that she has five other opponents to worry about. Two of which are here at ringside already and another one of them is her opponent tonight. Ms. Extreme has never been able to get the job done. Let’s face it. It’s just not happening.
Rich Russillo: I don’t know. Ms. Extreme’s an extremely talented woman, but in the end the way this match goes may have a big effect on how we see her chances come Battle of Egypt. This won’t be easy for her.
(‘Age-Age Money’ by LADYBABY hits, and the virtual crowd once again begins to boo as Miku Sakai makes her way out to the stage with her Unified Tag Team Championship. She doesn’t mind the boos at all and doesn’t seem to care much about Raven Roberts or Andrea Valentine’s presence at ringside. Instead Miku makes her way towards the ring, holding her Championship as the crowd continues to boo.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… From Fukui, Japan…. Weighing in at 110 pounds…. SHE IS ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… MIIIIIIKUUUUUU SAAAKKAAAIIIIIIII!!!!!!
James Peters: Now here comes one half of IDOL-GUN, the Unified Tag Team Champions! Miku Sakai and Hikari Kanno have been extremely impressive since winning the Unified Tag Team Championships, and now Miku Sakai has the opportunity to find success on her own with the No Way Out match!
Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno didn’t seem to enjoy her time in the Grand Rampage match, but the No Way Out match is way different from a Grand Rampage! Now IDOL-GUN has another chance to find singles success, but before we see that she somehow has to defeat Ms. Extreme!
Persephone: This is gonna be a snoozefest.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And here we go! Ms. Extreme is taking on Miku Sakai in this preview for the Women’s No Way Out match at Battle of Egypt, and they’re not alone tonight either! Andrea Valentine and Raven Roberts are at ringside, and I’d have to imagine that it’s taking everything in them to not immediately start fighting each other after the past few weeks! Ms. Extreme and Miku Sakai are beginning to circle the ring though, and it’s Ms. Extreme that makes the first move as she grabs Miku by the arm and attempts to wrestle her down to the mat!
Rich Russillo: Miku Sakai isn’t letting Ms. Extreme take her down that easily though, as she manages to punch Ms. Extreme in the midsection! Miku now attempting a back elbow, but Ms. Extreme manages to grab Miku! MS. EXTREME GOING FOR AN EXPLODER SUPLEX- BUT MIKU SAKAI PULLS MS. EXTREME INTO A SMALL PACKAGE PIN, JUST FOR MS. EXTREME TO KICK OUT IMMEDIATELY! Miku is still holding Ms. Extreme though, and she gets back to her feet holding Ms. Extreme before lifting her up for a suplex, just for Ms. Extreme to use her weight to pull herself back down to the mat!
Persephone: I’m already getting tired. Can this end already?
James Peters: Ms. Extreme now releases Miku’s arm, BEFORE GOING FOR THE TWIST OF FATE- JUST FOR MIKU SAKAI TO PUSH MS. EXTREME AWAY! Ms. Extreme getting pushed right into the ropes, and as she bounces back first off of them Miku quickly grabs her and attempts a back suplex, but Ms. Extreme is able to flip out of it back onto her feet! Ms. Extreme now with a shoot kick to the midsection, and she grabs Miku in a front facelock before climbing up to the middle turnbuckle! MS. EXTREME WITH A TORNADO DDT!
Rich Russillo: DOESN’T CONNECT! MIKU SAKAI MANAGES TO PUSH MS. EXTREME AWAY AT THE LAST MOMENT! Miku Sakai charging in, AND SHE GOES FOR A RUNNING DROPKICK BUT MS. EXTREME AVOIDS IT! MS. EXTREME NOW DROPPING DOWN AND SHE IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO LOCK IN THE RED HANDED, BUT BEFORE SHE COULD GET IT LOCKED IN MIKU USES HER OTHER ARM TO PULL HER DOWN INTO A SCHOOLBOY ROLL UP!
ONE-
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT ONE, AND AS BOTH ELITISTS GET BACK TO THEIR FEET MS. EXTREME QUICKLY GRABS MIKU SAKAI BEFORE DELIVERING A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! MS. EXTREME KEEPING THE BRIDGE IN FOR THE PIN!
ONE!
T-
Persephone: UGH, WHY!? Miku Sakai manages to kick out! I was really hoping that’d be the end of the match right there but somehow this still isn’t over. On top of this match being terrible with awful wrestlers, I actually have to sit here and look at Raven Roberts for however long this match lasts. I told you guys about Ms. Extreme, and now look. She can’t even beat Miku Sakai, and the more I watch Miku the more I wonder if she has some sort of mental illness.
James Peters: Raven Roberts is slowly circling around the ring as the match progresses, and you can tell that she still cares about how this match goes! Ms. Extreme is Raven’s friend, and although they’ll be opponents in a week I’m sure she wants to see Camille win. Miku is slowly trying to get back to her feet, but Ms. Extreme is quickly able to keep control of the match as she grabs Miku’s arm and gets her in a hammerlock hold! Ms. Extreme has repeatedly tried to work on Miku’s arm throughout this match, and I think we all know why!
Rich Russillo: Miku pulls herself back up to her feet, AND NOW THERE’S THE BACK ELBOW TO MS. EXTREME’S JAW! Ms. Extreme stumbling back, AND MIKU PULLS HER IN BEFORE DELIVERING AN ARM DRAG! Ms. Extreme gets back up to her feet, AND NOW MIKU GOES FOR NIGHT NIGHT- BUT MS. EXTREME CATCHES MIKU IN A POWERBOMB POSITION, BEFORE FALLING BACKWARDS AND DROPPING MIKU FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! This has been nearly all Ms. Extreme for the past few minutes. Miku needs to find a way to get back into this!
Persephone: Or… And here’s a better idea. Miku just forfeits! They all have a No Way Out match next week, who cares about this match?
James Peters: Miku Sakai is using those turnbuckles to try and get up, and Ms. Extreme is grabbing Miku to try and pull her out of the corner- BUT MIKU PULLS MS. EXTREME FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE WITH A FLATLINER! You said Miku needed to find her way back into this match somehow Rich, and it looks like she’s done just that! Miku is using the ropes to try and pull herself back up, and it looks like she has an idea!
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI RUNS THE ROPES AS MS. EXTREME IS HUNG UP ON THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND MIKU HITS MS. EXTREME WITH A RUNNING FRONT DROPKICK TO HER BACK! That was a fantastic move by one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, and Miku might need some time to recover from the powerbomb drop into the top turnbuckle but it’s definitely safe to say that she’s found her way back into the match! Now it’s Ms. Extreme that’s in trouble!
Persephone: So.. Why are Raven and Andrea here again?
James Peters: Those are two of the Elitists competing in the No Way Out match next week. I think it’s fair that they’re out here to watch this match happen. Harper Lee and Alexis Chambers already had their match on Dynasty. Now Andrea and Raven get to see what their other two opponents are capable of!
Persephone: See I don’t really care about that No Way Out match especially since Raven’s in it and Veena Adams isn’t. I just want this match to end as soon as possible, I can’t stand looking at her.
James Peters: Well.. Ms. Extreme is now down on the mat, AND MIKU SAKAI STEPS ON THE MIDDLE ROPE TO BOUNCE UP BEFORE STOMPING DOWN ON HER! Miku Sakai’s offense can be ruthless at times, and Ms. Extreme is having to see that herself here as she rolls out onto the apron thanks to Miku’s constant stomping!
(As Ms. Extreme rolls out onto the apron, Andrea Valentine slowly walks up to her, causing Raven Roberts to walk towards the area.)
James Peters: Raven Roberts making sure there’s nothing going on after Andrea Valentine pretty much turned her back on the former Beating Hearts of Voltage, and I don’t think Ms. Extreme noticed a thing!
Rich Russillo: Of course she didn’t! She’s trying to get back up to her feet now, and Miku Sakai was looking for a forearm but Ms. Extreme managed to duck down before thrusting her shoulder into Miku’s midsection through the middle rope! Miku Sakai stumbles back, and that allows Ms. Extreme to climb up to the top rope- JUST FOR MIKU TO CHARGE IN AND PUSH MS. EXTREME’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER! Miku doing what she can to stay in this match much like Ms. Extreme, what a match this has been so far!
Persephone: You mean what a garbage match, right?
James Peters: Miku Sakai is climbing up top, AND I’M NOT SURE WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR BUT MS. EXTREME IS ALREADY LOOKING TO STOP HER! MS. EXTREME ON THE OFFENSIVE IMMEDIATELY AS SHE DELIVERS MULTIPLE PUNCHES TO THE MIDSECTION, BUT MIKU SAKAI FIGHTS BACK AS SHE DELIVERS A BUNCH OF FOREARMS TO THE FACE! The two Elitists are fighting on the top rope- AND I’M NOT SURE WHAT MIKU SAKAI WAS WANTED TO DO, BUT SHE JUST LOST HER OPPORTUNITY AS MS. EXTREME PUSHES HER OFF THE TOP ROPE! Ms. Extreme now getting back in position to possibly dive-
Rich Russillo: BUT MIKU SAKAI CHARGES BACK IN BEFORE PULLING MS. EXTREME’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER THIS TIME, CAUSING MS. EXTREME TO FALL AND HAVE THE BACK OF HER HEAD FALL ONTO THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE! Miku seems to have gotten some payback from before, AND NOW MIKU SAKAI RUNS INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER BEFORE CHARGING IN! MUSTACHE RIDE!! NO!! MS. EXTREME JUST BARELY MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING MIKU TO CRASH RIGHT THROUGH THE TURNBUCKLES INTO THE RING POST!
Persephone: :yikes:
James Peters: Andrea is getting dangerously close to Ms. Extreme, but Raven Roberts once again begins to get involved as she gets in between Andrea and the ring! It looks like she’s telling Andrea off, and the referee is taking notice of the argument that’s going on outside of the ring! The last thing the referee needs right now is for a fight to break out while he’s trying to call a match! While the referee looks to sort out everything going on outside of the ring, Ms. Extreme finally manages to get back up and she immediately goes over towards Miku Sakai-
Rich Russillo: FEEL THY WRATH!!! MIKU SAKAI TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE REFEREE BEING DISTRACTED BY RAVEN AND ANDREA, AND NOW MIKU PULLS THE BLINDED CAMILLE DOWN INTO A ROLL UP BEFORE YELLING FOR THE REFEREE, WHO IMMEDIATELY TURNS AROUND AND SEES THE PIN! THE REFEREE QUICKLY SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING, AND HE BEGINS TO COUNT!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THREE! Somehow Ms. Extreme manages to survive even after Miku clawed at her eyes! Miku brought out a dirty move, but you’ve got to give her credit for how smart she’s been tonight!
James Peters: I hate to say it but I agree. I’m not one to condone cheating but Miku Sakai has put up an amazing fight, even before resorting to that eye rake! Miku is all over Ms. Extreme now, and you’ve got to worry for her. She’s pretty much been screwed over by that eye rake and now she’s in such a vulnerable position! Miku manages to back Ms. Extreme into the corner, AND NOW SHE JUST BEGINS STOMPING AWAY AT HER FUTURE OPPONENT IN NEXT WEEK’S NO WAY OUT MATCH! Miku Sakai now backpedaling into the opposite corner, and I think she’s about to give this another shot! MIKU SAKAI CHARGES IN-
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME SPRINGS BACK TO LIFE AND SENDS MIKU SAKAI CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A HUGE BACK BODY DROP! Ms. Extreme nearly collapsed after how much that took out of her, but Miku Sakai looks like she’s out! That back body drop did all the damage it needed to, and just like that Ms. Extreme’s found an equalizer to Miku’s relentless assault! That was much needed, too. If Miku’s offense continued, I don’t think this match could’ve continued much longer!
Persephone: Wait, so this match was nearly over after all? Suddenly, I hate Ms. Extreme so much more.
James Peters: Both Elitists are slowly finding their way back up to their feet, BUT MS. EXTREME IS UP FIRST, AND SHE KICKS MIKU SAKAI IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE GOING FOR THE TWIST OF FAT- NO! MIKU SAKAI DROPS DOWN AND PULLS CAMILLE INTO A SCHOOL BOY, BUT CAMILLE IMMEDIATELY ROLLS OUT OF IT BEFORE GRABBING MIKU IN THE FRONT FACELOCK ONCE AGAIN! TWIST OF FATE!! THE TWIST OF FATE ACTUALLY CONNECTS THIS TIME, AND MS. EXTREME PULLS HERSELF OVER MIKU SAKAI FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! Ms. Extreme managed to finally connect with the Twist of Fate, but in the end it still didn’t manage to get the job done! Miku Sakai is somehow still in this match even after all of the damage these two have done to each other! This has been a great match, and I’m glad Andrea and Raven are here to see this. They’re getting a good look at what Voltage will be bringing to that No Way Out match with these two and Alexis Chambers!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme thought that’d be enough, but it wasn’t! Ms. Extreme wants to put this match away though, and it looks like she has an idea of how she wants to do it! Ms. Extreme is climbing up to the top rope, and at this point Miku Sakai might actually be finished! She was just hit with the Twist of Fate, there’s no way she’s surviving whatever Ms. Extreme goes for!
Persephone: Thank God… It feels like this match has gone on for ages. About time it ends.
James Peters: MS. EXTREME GOES FOR A BLIND FURY!!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT MIKU SAKAI SOMEHOW MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! MIKU SAKAI AVOIDS A BLIND FURY! Ms. Extreme manages to roll back to her feet thanks to it being a double foot stomp- BUT MIKU SAKAI CHARGES IN TO GO FOR NIGHT NIGHT- JUST FOR MS. EXTREME TO PUSH MIKU SAKAI AWAY TOWARDS THE ROPES BEFORE SENDING MIKU OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Miku Sakai was just sent pretty much right next to Raven Roberts, and it looks like Ms. Extreme has an idea in mind now! Ms. Extreme starts to run the ropes as Miku Sakai gets back up!
Andrea Valentine: (off-mic) Oops!
(Andrea Valentine trips….. Right as she walks towards Raven Roberts.)
James Peters: :krabs: ANDREA VALENTINE JUST PUSHED RAVEN ROBERTS INTO INTO THE SUICIDE DIVE!!! MS. EXTREME ACCIDENTALLY HIT RAVEN ROBERTS WITH THE SUICIDE DIVE THANKS TO ANDREA VALENTINE PUSHING HER INTO IT!
Rich Russillo: I think she tripped, that wasn’t on purpose!
James Peters: :comeagain: How did she trip!?!? That was clearly on purpose, there’s no way something like that was an accident!
Rich Russillo: I don’t know what happened!
James Peters: MIKU SAKAI JUST SENT MS. EXTREME INTO THE RING APRON! Ms. Extreme hit Raven with the suicide dive instead of Miku thanks to Andrea, and that allowed Miku Sakai to capitalize!
Persephone: Again, Andrea did nothing wrong. Andrea just wanted to walk past all the chaos and Raven just so happened to be in the way. Maybe if Raven wasn’t on Voltage this wouldn’t have happened.
Rich Russillo: Well, Miku has rolled Ms. Extreme back into the ring, but as soon as Miku follows behind Ms. Extreme is able to get to a knee and deliver a punch to Miku’s midsection! Ms. Extreme still has more than enough fight left in her after being driven into the ring apron, AND NOW THERE’S A FOREARM BY MS. EXTREME AS SHE GETS BACK UP TO HER FEET!
(Raven Roberts gets back up to her feet, but as she does so she immediately begins seeing red, looking right at Andrea Valentine. Andrea immediately notices, and holds her hands up.)
Andrea Valentine: (off-mic) I TRIPPED! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, I DIDN’T DO IT ON PURPOSE!
James Peters: NOW MIKU SAKAI WITH A FOREARM OF HER OWN! NOW MS. EXTREME! NOW MIKU SAKAI- WAIT NO! MS. EXTREME BEGINS DELIVERING MORE AND MORE FOREARMS! Ms. Extreme running the ropes now- BUT MIKU SAKAI DELIVERS A HUGE BOOT TO THE FACE! This has been extremely back and forth, but now Miku runs the ropes herself before-
Rich Russillo: WAIT WAIT WAIT! RAVEN ROBERTS IS CHASING AFTER ANDREA VALENTINE! ANDREA JUST ROLLED INTO THE RING TO TRY AND ESCAPE- BUT RAVEN TACKLES ANDREA INTO MIKU SAKAI AND MS. EXTREME! ALL FOUR ELITISTS ARE DOWN AND THE REFEREE IS CALLING FOR THE BELL!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: RAVEN ROBERTS IS ALL OVER ANDREA VALENTINE AS SHE BEGINS PUNCHING AWAY AT THE WOMAN THAT UNFAIRLY ELIMINATED HER AT GRAND RAMPAGE! Andrea Valentine not only turned her back on the Beating Hearts of Voltage, but she pretty much caused this match to be thrown out after entering the ring to get away from Raven!
Rich Russillo: ANDREA MANAGES TO TURN IT AROUND, AND NOW SHE’S THE ONE ON TOP OF RAVEN! ANDREA VALENTINE AND RAVEN ROBERTS ARE TEARING EACH OTHER APART, AND THINGS WERE BOUND TO COME TO THIS EVER SINCE GRAND RAMPAGE! IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!
(Ms. Extreme and Miku Sakai eventually make it up to their feet, but neither of them look too happy seeing their match get thrown out the window without a clear winner. Ms. Extreme looks at Andrea Valentine, and she shakes her head in frustration running over to the two.)
James Peters: MS. EXTREME JUST GRABBED ANDREA AND PULLED HER OFF OF RAVEN BEFORE HITTING HER WITH A HUGE RIGHT HAND! Andrea Valentine was caught by surprise as Ms. Extreme begins taking the fight to her old friend! Andrea Valentine eventually manages to fight back, but Raven Roberts is getting back to her feet! This is about to become a two on one beat down on Andrea Valentine-
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI JUST ATTACKED RAVEN ROBERTS! MIKU SAKAI JUST RAMMED RAVEN INTO THE CORNER, AND NOW BOTH WOMEN ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH IN THE CORNER AS MIKU LIKELY BLAMES RAVEN FOR THE MATCH BEING CALLED OFF JUST AS MUCH AS ANDREA!
Persephone: Oh my God, GET ME OUT OF HERE! I DON’T WANT TO WATCH THEM FIGHT! THE MATCH IS OVER!
James Peters: Well I don’t think they’re giving you much of a choice right now! Ms. Extreme and Andrea Valentine are fighting, as are Raven Roberts and Miku Sakai! All four women are taking out their anger on each other just one week before Battle of Egypt- WAIT! WAIT A MINUTE! IS THAT..!?
(The virtual fans immediately begin booing heavily as Harper Lee and Ximena Velasquez are seen sliding into the ring, immediately going after the Elitists already fighting.)
Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE AND XIMENA VELASQUEZ! THEY JUST MADE THEIR WAY INTO THE RING! HARPER LEE JUST ATTACKED MS. EXTREME, AND XIMENA VELASQUEZ TOSSED RAVEN ROBERTS OUT OF THE CORNER SHE WAS FIGHTING MIKU SAKAI IN!
James Peters: BOTH MS. EXTREME AND RAVEN ROBERTS ARE LOOKING TO FIGHT OFF HARPER LEE AND XIMENA VELASQUEZ, BUT ONCE AGAIN ANDREA AND MIKU JOIN THE FIGHT AS ANDREA VALENTINE BEGINS GOING AFTER RAVEN ROBERTS AND MIKU SAKAI CONTINUES FIGHTING MS. EXTREME AFTER THEIR MATCH ABRUPTLY ENDED!
Rich Russillo: It looks like we have a brawl on our hands with nearly everyone in that No Way Out match along with Ximena Velasquez, AND NOW HERE COMES THE FINAL COMPETITOR IN THE MATCH!
(The virtual crowd begins cheering for the most part as Alexis Chambers runs to the ring, immediately going after Harper Lee.)
James Peters: ALEXIS CHAMBERS IS GOING AFTER HARPER LEE, ALLOWING MS. EXTREME TO TURN HER ATTENTION FULLY TO MIKU SAKAI! Ximena Velasquez going after Alexis to try and help Harper, BUT ALEXIS CHAMBERS IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE SIX-FOOT XIMENA VELASQUEZ! ALEXIS WITH FOREARM AFTER FOREARM TO THE GIANT WOMAN, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A HUGE BRAWL ON OUR HANDS!
Rich Russillo: Alexis Chambers is doing what she can to fight off Ximena Velasquez until Harper Lee recovers, BUT THERE HARPER COMES FROM BEHIND! Meanwhile Ms. Extreme and Miku Sakai are still going back and forth, and Raven Roberts’ fight with Andrea Valentine still hasn’t come to an end!
James Peters: RAVEN ROBERTS SENDS ANDREA VALENTINE OUT OF THE RING BEFORE FOLLOWING BEHIND- JUST FOR ANDREA TO SEND RAVEN INTO THE RINGPOST!
Rich Russillo: ALEXIS CHAMBERS MANAGES TO DUCK A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT FROM XIMENA BEFORE TAKING HARPER DOWN WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN, AND NOW HARPER AND ALEXIS ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH DOWN ON THE MAT!
James Peters: MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO BACK MIKU SAKAI INTO THE CORNER, BUT MIKU ATTEMPTS TO CLAW AT MS. EXTREME’S EYES! That doesn’t work as Ms. Extreme grabs her hand, BUT MIKU USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH MS. EXTREME WITH A RIGHT HAND, WHICH MS. EXTREME IMMEDIATELY REPLIES TO WITH ONE OF HER OWN!
Persephone: Thank God, someone actually realized this needed to stop.
(As all seven Elitists continue fighting, tons of officials and security guards begin pouring in. A group of them grab Raven Roberts and Andrea Valentine to separate them, and the rest of them enter the ring to handle the five other Elitists. Soon enough security manages to separate all seven Elitists. They all try as hard as they can to fight out of security’s grasp, especially Raven and Andrea, but thanks to the amount of security guards they’re not really able to. As the brawl is finally being broken up by security, the camera fades to Darcy May Morgan backstage, watching all of the chaos and laughing at the Elitists in the No Way Out match. With Darcy May Morgan watching on and all of the Elitists being taken away be security, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Commercial for Chik-Fil-A featuring Jake Smith. Fortunately, he doesn’t actually work there and was only paid to advertise them.)
(The scene transitions to the backstage area where immediately the shot pans in on the EAW Specialist Champion, ‘The Forgotten’ Constance Blevins. Constance is dressed in her usual all black ensemble we’ve all become accustomed to seeing her in, to include her black eye patch which makes her look bad-ass as usual. Constance wears a look of satisfaction on her face knowing that everything she’d promised from the moment she returned had come to pass, and then some. After her brutal assault of Dr. Bethany Blue, Constance wanted to leave one more last stern message for the EAW Universe and her challenger at the Battle of Egypt. She looks over her left shoulder at the EAW Specialist Championship with complete admiration and approval before looking into the camera as she begins to speak.)
Constance Blevins: A few months ago when I won this title, I vowed that change was on the horizon. I demanded it, and then it happened. I promised to bring more value to the Specialist Championship, to raise the bar in this Specialist division. Did I tell lie? What woman isn’t eyeing the opportunity to put their name on the proverbial map? Three months later, there’s no question about it. I AM THE DIVISION! Without me, the one you all forgot about, this division would be nothing. This hasn’t been about a Women’s revival, this has been about dominance. From the House of Horrors to the Electric Chair and beyond, you have gotten to bear witness to what it means to be a real champion and in each instance this title has been fought for and bled for, and still it remains right where it belongs. Finally it’s been given the attention and platform that it had been missing. I am the EAW Specialist Champion, and that’s not going to change. Every woman that’s stepped up to me has been put down.
(She takes a momentary pause, before continuing.)
Constance Blevins: Every woman that’s tried to rip this title from my grasp has suffered the same fate. First it was Sierra Bradford. The former ‘Girl on Fire’ whose world was turned upside down the same night I set my own fire to the reign of Hell’s so-called ‘Demon’. Sierra…poor Sierra, she never had a chance. The moment little Sierra decided to challenge for this championship she decided her fate, and now look where she’s at. Just another piece on Drake King’s chessboard. A simple pawn that can be sacrificed anytime he sees fit. Her defeat though, wasn’t in vain. She got exactly what she wanted, and so did this championship. Next up. Holly Arrow. ‘The Diamond Darling’. She believed she finally had what it took to take her career to the next level after coming up with the most miraculous win of her career, but it didn’t matter in the end. To me she was merely a lamb that led herself to the slaughterhouse the moment she stepped into my ring, and like a ferocious predator I maimed and tore into her until her spirit was broken and there was nothing left.
(A very brief but low, soft, chuckle comes over ‘The Forgotten’, as she vividly recalled in her mind how brutal she was against a less than seasoned elitist like Holly Arrow whom she had nothing against, and then thinking about what she would do against someone like Dr. Bethany Blue after the things Bethany has done to try throwing Constance off her game.)
Constance Blevins: She too got exactly what she wanted, and again the standard of this championship was raised. But what happened after, that was expected. You see, I knew the moment I kicked sweet Holly to the curb and showed she was nowhere in my league that whoever came next would have to be someone that was several levels up, and could actually provide me with a challenge worthy of my time. That’s where you come in, Dr. Bethany. Fresh off defeating a Hall of Fame and Hardcore Icon in Diamond Cage, and settling your season long trials and tribulations and putting them to rest for good against Ryan Wilson in yet another show stopping performance, showing that you are deserving of more than what you’ve received. Braaa-vooo, Doctor. Little did that really tell anyone anything special about Dr. Bethany Blue, the wrestler. It certainly didn’t get Hurricane Hawk’s attention, did it? No. How could he overlook someone like yourself, his most prized puzzle piece that’s been carrying the Showdown load on her back for a whole season? You wanna know a little something though, Bethany? I see your worth. I see what you have to offer, and that’s why you’re getting this opportunity. It’s me that’s giving you a purpose, making sure you’re not the one that’s forgotten. You should be thanking me, thanking me for the fact that you’re not sitting on the sidelines again whimpering and whining again, wondering “what about me? What about Dr. Bethany Blue?”.
Constance Blevins: But that wasn’t enough was it, Doctor? No. You’ve had a point to prove this whole time. Over a year ago when you challenged for this title, you did everything you could to get Darcy to submit to you, to give in to your subtle little mind games but she never did, did she? In the end you were humiliated at the Grand Rampage. You were left with nothing to show for, just the indignity of knowing that it wasn’t your time and you simply weren’t good enough. If these last few weeks have shown me anything, it’s how desperate you are to change your misfortunes. You wanted this to be purely about competition, and not personal, so set on not turning this chance you have at the Specialist Championship into a complete failure, until I came to your private practice to accept your challenge being completely open with you about how things will go down at the Battle of Egypt. Your foolish pride though, it couldn’t handle the truth. What did you think was going to happen that night, Bethany? Do I look like someone that’s held back by boundaries? And how could you stop me? You couldn’t stop me on your own. You needed all the help you could get to contain me from beating the ever living hell out of you. You needed your big overgrown ox along with the use of syringes and needles, because you knew what would happen to you without them. But none of it is going to change the truth come the Battle of Egypt where I will put you down and retain my EAW Specialist Championship.
(Constance pauses a moment to allow that last part to sink in.)
Constance Blevins: Everything you’ve done to me you’ve done against everyone, and while it doesn’t make you a very good person? Terrorizing others? Gosh. Come to think of it? It makes you a horrible person. It actually makes what I did to you last Sunday on Voltage justifiable. I could’ve finished you, but I didn’t. I warned you to watch your back. Is it really my fault if you didn’t take me seriously? What happened on Voltage was merely a preview of everything you have coming your way at the Battle of Egypt, Bethany. You’ve loved gassing yourself up, running that mouth and pretending to be the victim, keeping up this insufferable act for far too long. At Battle of Egypt ‘The Forgotten’ ends it all, leaving you with nothing to show for once again, continuing her run as the most powerful and dominant Specialist Champion of this era. Believe that!
(Constance’s expression is one of supreme confidence as she eyes the camera, never missing a beat, as the shot finally transitions elsewhere.)
(Voltage comes back from the final commercial break of the night as Bella Braxton is seen standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face before she begins to speak)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen this is your MAIN EVENT!!! And it is an eight-man tag team match scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘My Brother (the Dragonslayer)’ by Shiro SAGISU plays up to the loud boos of the arena as the team known as New Eden make their way out to the stage. Drake King, Myles, & Minerva stand united at the center of the stage with determined looks on their faces also filled with frustration and envy as they completely ignore the reaction from the crowd. They look at one another keeping the same expressions as they collectively make their way down the ramp and towards the ring)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… at a combined weight of 574 pounds… the team of Drake King, Myles, & Minerva… NEW EDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well let’s just say it’s been a mixed bag of emotions the past couple of weeks regarding New Eden. After winning the Grand Rampage match, last week Drake King dropped a bombshell on the EAW Universe saying that he would not be challenging for any title and that Voltage would not be having a main event at Pain For Pride. But to follow it up things did not go New Eden’s way as after a trade of words later in the night, The Visual Prophet laid all of them out in a bloody pulp as well.
James Peters: And while they got some sort of revenge when Viz invited them out on Dynasty 2 days ago and assaulted him. We can’t forget his partners tonight coming out to chase them off for the save. So let’s just say there were more negatives than positives coming out of that. But they’re looking to make some reprimitions tonight and the main event is exactly the way to do it as they’re looking to come out here with the victory.
Persephone: They’ve gotten their asses beat for the last 2 weeks yet you want me to believe that they’re going to make a difference. Why not just get my Rexy and have him in the Pain For Pride main event? Who cares if he’s in the Battle of Egypt one as well. Simple solutions, write it down Captain Charisma I know you’re listening to this!
(Myles and Minerva make their way around the ring before jumping up onto the apron. Drake separates from the two of them as he makes his way up the steps and enters into the ring. Drake makes his way towards the center of the ring as Myles and Minerva keep their position on the apron. They take a moment to look around at the negative crowd reaction that is being showered down on them before they collect at their corner. They talk amongst themselves as before long, ‘My Brother (the Dragonslayer)’ fades out as they get ready for the match)
(‘Scenario’ by Pop Smoke plays up as the boos from the virtual crowd turns to loud cheers as Malcolm Jones makes his way out to the stage with the EAW World Championship around his shoulder. He stands at the center of the stage as he scans the arena with a straight look on his face with a calm composure. He takes a look at his title on his shoulder for a long moment before nodding and focusing on the ring as he makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents, first… from Harlem, New York… weighing in at 230 pounds… HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION… MALCOLM JONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: And here comes the World Champion! You know he means business tonight especially after the bullshit that New Eden has put him through. Starting off the road to Pain For Pride as Champion by being told that he would not have a Pain For Pride main event spot. And also to add onto that accepting Rex McAllister’s challenge for the title at Battle of Egypt.
James Peters: There’s a lot on Malcolm’s plate tonight and you know he has to get this victory. Imagine pinning the Grand Rampage winner clean to the mat tonight? Could definitely lead to a lot in the future of grand proportions. Malcolm is looking to come in with fire with his first Championship defense on the horizon and you already know he’s settling for nothing less.
Persephone: WOO!
James Peters: You’re cheering him? :comeagain:
Persephone: Of course! I’m cheering for the person who’s going to be the reason Rex McAllister is your new EAW World Champion! He actually did something good in his life by accepting the challenge! LETS GO!
(Malcolm stands at the bottom of the ramp as he once again looks around before making his way up the steel steps and onto the apron. Malcolm enters into the ring as he makes his way towards the center, eyeing the New Eden members as they stare at him with intensity. Malcolm takes his title off his shoulder as he raises it in the air to taunt them before he turns around and makes his way towards his corner, getting ready as ‘Scenario’ fades out from there)
(After a while, ‘ULTRAnumb’ by Blue Stahli blasts through the speakers of the arena to thunderous cheers from the crowd. It isn’t long before the EAW Hall of Famer, Cameron Ella Ava makes her way out to the stage with a smile on her face. She looks around at the crowd who continues to show their support towards her. She takes a moment to look around before looking towards the ring with a confident look on her face. She takes her entrance gear off as from there she makes her way down the ramp and towards the ring)
Bella Braxton: Next… from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 140 pounds… THE GODDESS… CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: This is definitely a moment to behold. It’s been 1 year since Cameron Ella Ava last wrestled in an EAW ring, specifically last Grand Rampage. And at that same event this year she made her return as a surprise entrant in the Grand Rampage match. And lo and behold, here she is on Voltage, showing that she’s still Cameron Ella Ava and better than ever! I mean I’m sure you saw her performance 2 weeks ago. I’m sure it’ll be no different in this match.
James Peters: Well let’s not forget what happened last week. Where she talked about her Battle of Egypt match against one of the best that Voltage has to offer, in the form of Universal Women’s Champion, Darcy May Morgan. She plans to give her the best match of her whole career and winning this match would have a good impression on the thousands that will be tuning into the event next week! You know this is a must win match for her and she has no problem doing business here tonight.
Persephone: If it doesn’t help Voltage’s case, more people that aren’t named Rex McAllister have come. Look, who cares about Cameron? I’ve been hearing all day that she’s in the best shape of her career somehow after spending her hiatus being a fatass couch potato during her pregnancy. I’m not buying it. Honestly, who really cares either? But let’s remember how my Rexy eliminated her at Grand Rampage. Love it.
(Cameron makes her way past the bottom of the ramp as she steps up the steel steps and onto the apron. She looks out at the virtual crowd as she points around before looking towards the ring as she enters in. She takes a quick glance at her opponents before making her way towards the center of the ring and spreading her arms out with a smile on her face. She takes a circle around before meeting her partner in the corner. Talking to Malcolm as ‘ULTRAnumb’ fades out and she begins to get prepared for the match)
(‘Don Life’ by Big Sean ft. Lil Wayne plays through the speakers of the arena to the loud cheers of the crowd as The Visual Prophet makes his way out to the stage. He has a big grin on his face as he points towards New Eden in the ring and grates his hips as the crowd continues to cheer for him. He continues to trash talk his opponents as from there he makes his way towards the ring)
Bella Braxton: And lastly… residing in Engadine, Michigan… weighing in at 265 pounds… THE VISUAL PROPHET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: And here comes Big Viz who’s been none short of imposing these past few weeks coming hot off of Grand Rampage. All throughout he’s sent message after message to New Eden heading into his and Drake’s match at Battle of Egypt and if there’s one thing he wants us to remember, it’s the fact that Drake King is still his bitch.
James Peters: And of course what better than beating his opponent a week before they face off? That would definitely send shock waves towards Drake and although they’re going to let that happen, Viz isn’t one to lay down for anyone. He’s looking to get an impressive victory tonight and I’m sure we’re going to be seeing that if this works out.
Persephone: Look dude, none of the people in these matches are interesting. The only thing that Viz does is shake his hips and we’re supposed to be so impressed by that? Give me a break, the only thing I’m interested in is a nice nap.
(Viz makes his way up the steel steps as he stands on the apron for a moment before entering into the ring. The crowd continues to cheer for him as he poses at the center. Pointing towards New Eden and mouthing something as New Eden keeps their calm to the best of their abilities. After a while, Viz makes his way towards his corner as he meets with his partners. It isn’t long after that ‘Don Life’ fades out and when all competitors are ready to go, the ref from there signals for the bell)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: It’s going to be Minerva kicking things off for New Eden against the living legend, Cameron Ella Ava, who is having her first match in over a year.
Rich Russillo: The scene last year at Grand Rampage was absolutely shocking. Cameron Ella Ava was left for dead in the middle of the ring, after being bashed across her head with a Flaming Equalizer. I don’t think any of us ever expected to see her wrestle again, and now she’s a new mom no less. Pretty incredible if you ask me.
James Peters: Minerva is licking her lips as these two women circle one another. Down the line, I would love to see these two women square off against one another in a one-on-one, but I’m excited AF to see them in the same ring tonight as part of this amazing Voltage main event. There’s no love lost here, that’s for sure, and Minerva wastes no time! She goes right for Cameron Ella Ava and immediately backs her into the corner!
Persephone: Is it just me, or does Cameron look like she hasn’t lost the baby weight yet? She’s kind of chunky and it’s really gross.
Rich Russillo: As much as I adore you, my love, I really don’t think talking shit about a postpartum woman is the way to go. Besides, Cameron looks amazing in my opinion, and she’s very quick to muscle Minerva out of the corner! Cameron goes for a forearm, but Minerva blocks, and she knees Cameron in the stomach! Minerva darts past Cameron, heading for the ropes, but Cameron is able to duck the clothesline attempt on the rebound, and she takes Minerva down with a nice little dropkick! Minerva is up pretty quickly and Cameron immediately seizes her by the arm and looks for a hip toss! Minerva battles back with an elbow that catches Cameron right in the temple, and she whips her into the corner!
James Peters: Minerva charges forward but Cameron gets her feet up, sending Minerva stumbling back, and Cameron quickly climbs up the ropes! She flies off with a double axe-handle smash that connects and she goes for a quick cover!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: :francis: Imagine THAT ending the match.
Rich Russillo: I’m pretty sure the legendary Cameron Ella Ava knows that it’s going to take a whole hell of a lot more to put away Minerva, or any member of New Eden for that matter.
James Peters: Cameron quickly attempts to keep Minerva grounded with a headlock, but ‘The Gypsy Moth’ slips out and is quickly back to her feet. She locks eyes with Cameron Ella Ava and this crowd is urging both women to just go at it! They circle one another and it’s Cameron who initiates the lock-up! Minerva slips around the back of the Hall of Famer, grabbing her by the waist, but Cameron is able to block the take-down and she’s got Minerva by the arms! She is able to overpower Minerva momentarily and seize control of the wrist! Cameron turns this into a wrist-lock, but Minerva with the disrespectful slap the face of Cameron Ella Ava! Cameron looks furious, and Minerva shoves her, forcing Cameron back against the ropes! Cameron pushes herself off and absolutely destroys Minerva with a massive lariat! She is fired up now! She pulls Minerva up, sends her into the corner, and Cameron breaks into a run! WONDER WOMAN PUNCH! THE FOREARM SMASH CONNECTS ON MINERVA!!!
Rich Russillo: CAMERON DRAGS MINERVA OUT OF THE CORNER AND PLANTS HER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH A BULLDOG! COVER ON MINERVA!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Kick out. Hooray.
James Peters: Yes, Minerva kicked out, but Cameron is quickly back on the attack! She mounts Minerva and begins throwing rights and lefts! They connect with Minerva’s face and head, and FINALLY Minerva is able to throw Cameron off of her. Minerva attempts to roll towards her corner, but look at Cameron! Cameron grabs Minerva by the leg, drags her back to the middle of the ring, and slams her knee down into the mat! Minerva immediately grabs for her right knee, but Cameron begins to stomp away on it! I wonder if she’s already softening Minerva up the ‘Ava Lock’??
Rich Russillo: I think so, because if the opening minutes of this match have proven anything, it’s that Cameron Ella Ava is back and ready to be a force inside that ring again. She’s not going to hold anything back as she embarks on this comeback, and New Eden are going to be in for a long night.
Persephone: Please don’t say that. I just want to go home and finish packing for Cairo :noah: Rex is gunna reclaim what’s his, and I can finally forget about everything that’s happened since Territorial Invasion because all will be right with the world again.
James Peters: Be that as it may, Minerva is being made an example of right now. She may have come into this match doubting Cameron and questioning whether or not Cameron was ready for this type of match right off the bat.
Rich Russillo: No doubt Minerva is a bit out of sorts right now as Cameron continues to soften up that right knee, locking Minerva in a modified single leg crab. But if there is something we know about Minerva, it’s the absolute tenacity that she competes with. She is going to do whatever she can to prolong this match and hang in there, and all she needs is one small opening. Minerva can hit you from anywhere if you take your eye off the prize for even half a second. Look at her right now. She’s in obvious pain from this submission hold, but she’s not panicking. Minerva competes at another level all the time, and it’s highly impressive.
Persephone: Honestly, the only time Minerva has ever been worth a damn is when she exposed the fact that massive cunt Raven tricked Rex into marrying, thinking she would be able to give him heirs. Imagine being a barren woman. Couldn’t be me.
James Peters: Cold. You are so fucking cold.
Persephone: It is a little chilly in here which is why I made sure to bring a sweater :wow:
Rich Russillo: Meanwhile, Minerva has been inching her way closer and closer to the ropes. She’s inches away but I don’t think Cameron is going to let that happen as she drops all of her weight to make sure that the hold stays locked in. While this might not be the decision maker of the match, there’s no doubt that Cameron is going to keep that hold locked in as long as she can to further weaken Minerva and target that right knee.
James Peters: I don’t think that Mineva is going to let that happen any longer though as she continues to persist through the pain, knowing that’s the only way she can go about this. As she grabs onto the ropes and forces a rope break! Cameron keeping it cinched in for just a little bit after the ref starts the count before releasing the hold. And you know that Cameron is going to be right back on the assault as she grabs the leg of Minerva and drags it towards the center of the ring. But before she can do that Minerva uses her free leg to send a boot towards Cameron to force her away for the moment!
Persephone: This is going at turtle pace. The last thing I want to see is more of Cameron Ella Ava’s play fighting that she apparently calls wrestling. :noah:
Rich Russillo: Cameron taking a step back but it’s not enough to fully stun her as she makes her way towards Minerva now. But Minerva bringing herself up to a sitting position and sending a kick towards her leg to take her off her game for the moment! Minerva pulling herself up as Cameron keeps a vertical base and makes her way towards her as well. BUT MINERVA GOING LOW AGAIN AND TAKING CAMERON DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK!
James Peters: Minerva is clearly hurting now as she’s making a glance towards her New Eden partners, knowing that she needs some time to recuperate before making a full comeback into this match. She’s right back up to her feet as Cameron is making an attempt to get back up as well. Minerva doesn’t have much time as she’s making her way towards her corner.
TAG!
Persephone: And she chooses man titties. Why is that something that he prides himself in?
Rich Russillo: Myles entering into the ring as quickly as possible as he makes his way towards Cameron and sends an axe handle towards the back of her head while she’s propped up onto a knee! Myles is looking to keep the advantage in New Eden’s favor and the only way he can do that is making sure Cameron has absolutely no time to recover. Myles grabbing Cameron and dragging her up into a headlock position. Cameron is trying to make sure that Myles let’s go of the hold with closed fist punches to his gut. BUT MYLES ISN’T LETTING GO THAT EASILY AS HE LIFTS CAMERON UP AND DROPS HER DOWN INTO A BRAINBUSTER!
James Peters: Yikes, that hurt me. But that’s not going to be sufficient enough and that’s why Myles is continuing the attack. He has to soften up Cameron and make sure that she’s unable to get the tag to her opponents but that’s not going to be an easy task considering she is an EAW Hall of Famer in her own right. Myles grabbing her by her head making an attempt to lock in a headlock and keep her down to the mat. But Cameron had that scouted as she turns around and sends a back elbow towards the face of Myles to keep him at bay!
Persephone: Why are they having trouble with someone who hasn’t been in an official match in years? In this state she’s the equivalent of The Woogieman.
Rich Russillo: :blessed-
Persephone: Shut up.
Rich Russillo: Well then. Cameron is right back up to her feet as Myles grabs his face but quickly shakes it off focusing his attention back on Cameron. But before he can do anything she meets him with a stiff Knife Edge Chop to take him off guard! Myles is fresh in this matchup and Cameron realizes that. It’s not going to be easy taking him down to the mat but she needs to find a way to get a tag to her partners.
James Peters: But Myles isn’t having it as he sends a chop right back towards the chest of Cameron! Cameron definitely felt that as Myles steps forward, and grabs her by her head before sending a knee right into his gut! Cameron is forced to drop down to a knee as Myles makes his way towards her. But Cameron isn’t giving up just yet as she begins to send punches towards Myles’ gut to hinder him!
Persephone: :yikes: Now this is just sad. You’re better off just laying down Cameron, it’s for your own good anyways.
Rich Russillo: Myles feels that but it’s not going to be enough as he kicks Cameron right in her jaw! Cameron manages to keep herself up but she’s hurt and Myles sees that. Myles grabbing Cameron and sending her towards the corner. BEFORE MYLES RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A HIGH KNEE TO HER FACE TO KNOCK HER OUT!
James Peters: But Cameron barely slips out of the way of that as she stumbles forward in hopes that she can make her way towards her partners. Myles sees this as he makes her way towards her and grabs her from behind. BUT IT’S CAMERON THAT TURNS AROUND AND SENDS AN ENZUIGIRI TOWARDS THE SIDE OF HER HEAD!
Persephone: This is a horrible match so far. What’s next, the generic hot tag to a fresh partner?
TAG!
Persephone: Told you.
Rich Russillo: As Cameron leaps forward and tags The Visual Prophet into this match! The Dynasty elitist is wasting no time entering into the ring, AS VIZ RUNS FORWARD AND MOWS DOWN MYLES WHILE HE DOESN’T EXPECT IT WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE! Myles is laid out on the mat but is staggering up to his feet as he turns around, AND GOES FOR A LARIAT ATTEMPT! BUT VIZ CATCHES IT AND DROPS MYLES DOWN INTO A SPINEBUSTER!
James Peters: This was exactly what New Eden was dreading as Viz is currently making an example out of the former National Elite Champion. Myles grabbing onto the bottom rope and leaning against it as he knows he’s in for one hell of a fight with Big Viz. Viz is not wasting anytime though as he grabs him and plucks him right off the ground. BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM ACROSS THE RING NOW!
Persephone: If this is how the rest of the match is going to go then sign me up. Bloody and batter that bitch!
Rich Russillo: Myles isn’t giving up though as he’s still getting up to his feet pretty quickly, but it’s not like Viz is slow enough to catch him either. AS VIZ GRABS HIM AND THROWS HIM INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Myles is taken down to the mat but Viz isn’t done just yet. AS THIS TIME HE GRABS HIM OFF THE GROUND AND GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! But Myles has had enough as he sends an elbow towards his face to let go of the hold!
James Peters: It was only a matter of time before Myles turned the tables as he’s separated from Viz for the moment. Viz makes his way over, but Myles with the drive by as he kicks Viz in the kneecap and runs towards the ropes as Viz turns around! BEFORE SENDING A BOOT TOWARDS HIS FACE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO A KNEE! Myles isn’t done though as he quickly grabs Viz and sets him up, BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO A REVERSE DDT TO FINALLY TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: :patrickboo: Why can’t you do your job correctly?!
Rich Russillo: Viz is down on the mat but is slowly beginning to recover as Myles grabs him by his head and speeds it up. Before sending punches towards his face to weaken Viz! You can tell that Myles sees the threat of Viz and is handing it accordingly. He’s not going right for him and risking anything and that’s a smart move by the New Eden member. Viz is attempting to fight back with punches of his own, but Myles is stopping that as well, sending a kick to the abdomen which forces Viz against the ropes. AS MYLES TAKES A RUN TOWARDS HIM LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A CLOTHESLINE WHICH COULD SEND VIZ OVER THE TOP!
James Peters: But Viz just in the nick of time grabs Myles and sends him over the top rope. Myles landing on the apron as we know that’s not the best predicament that he could find himself in when it comes to this match. BUT MYLES GRABS ONTO THE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI ACROSS HIS FACE! Myles running up to the top rope as Viz turns around. BEFORE MYLES LEAPS OFF THE TOP AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BIG TOP ROPE METEORA!
Persephone: *yawn* Is this where the boring part is beginning? Great, I’ve been sleep deprived hoping to book the flight ticket to sit next to Rex all throughout last night. I need the sleep anyway.
Rich Russillo: The look on Viz’s face tells a whole story. He didn’t expect a wave of offense from Myles like this but Myles has managed to turn the odds in his favor as he’s quickly mounting onto Viz and attacking him with punch after punch towards his skull! Myles knows this is the only way to go about this situation and keep Viz grounded before he can do anything else. Viz attempts to block the shots as he uses his hand to push Myles away in hopes that he can create some sort of distance and get a breather!
James Peters: We know Myles, we know he’s aggressive and relentless and he’s only going to continue on the attack no matter what Viz tries to do. Myles getting up to his feet and letting go of the hold that he has on Viz as Viz is beginning to drag himself up. BUT MYLES ONCE AGAIN IS RELENTLESS AS HE RUNS TOWARDS VIZ AND AIMS A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TOWARDS HIS HEAD! But Viz manages to roll out of the way of the attempt and get himself up to his feet. Myles turning around as Viz patiently waits for him. BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO A BIG MILITARY PRESS!
Persephone: There is nothing interesting about any of the opponents in this match and I thought I should let you know that. You can already tell when the best thing that The Visual Prophet has done is gaslight Drake’s sister and put Drake through an acid trip that the bar is very low.
Rich Russillo: Viz is right back into this match as this has been very back and forth so far. Myles quickly rolling out of the ring as he realizes the predicament he’s in. But Viz isn’t just going to wait for him to take a breather and to get back out of the ring, he’s rolling out of the ring and is going right towards Myles. AS HE LOOKS TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! BUT MYLES JUST IN TIME MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AS VIZ CRASHES INTO THE BARRICADE!
James Peters: Quick thinking by Myles to escape that as he grabs Viz and instantly rolls him into the ring as he slides in as well. Making his way towards Viz as he grabs him and brings him up to his feet, but not before Viz sends a shot back to him! Myles stumbles back, BUT MYLES RUNS TOWARDS HIM WITH A KNEE STRIKE!
Persephone: Why can’t one of them just give up? Is that so hard to do. I say that every match but despite that they just keep going. Why can’t Rexy just interfere?
Rich Russillo: Viz is sent back, but quickly sends an uppercut to his jaw now! Myles is forced backwards but runs towards Viz! BUT WAIT! VIZ CATCHES MYLES INTO AN IKE TURNER SPECIAL! MYLES IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE MAT AS YOU CAN SEE VIZ WASTING ABSOLUTELY NO TIME HOOKING THE LEG! PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRR-
James Peters: BUT MYLES GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Myles reaching out his hand to the corner of New Eden as you can tell he’s anxious to get the tag before this gets worse. You can see Drake King waiting patiently in his corner. He hasn’t been tagged in once in this match along with Malcolm Jones who looks eager to get his hands on New Eden as well. Viz quickly grabbing Myles by his head as he drags him over to his corner, looking to get a tag to Malcolm! But Myles with elbow strikes as he begins to slam those into the gut of Viz! Viz is forced to let go and step back as Myles grabs him and Irish whips him towards the corner. BUT VIZ BOUNCES OFF AS HE GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE!
TAG!
Persephone: :noah: Jesus hippy is in this match.
Rich Russillo: MYLES DUCKING UNDER THE CLOTHESLINE AND TAKING A LEAP OF FAITH TAGGING DRAKE IN! And here comes Drake as already he has his sights set on Viz who seems a bit perplexed after what happened. BUT DRAKE LEAPS OFF THE ROPES AND TAKES VIZ DOWN TO A KNEE WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE! Viz stirring as he manages to get back up to his feet. BUT ALREADY DRAKE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND TAKES VIZ DOWN THIS TIME WITH A SLING BLADE!
James Peters: Drake is completely fresh in this matchup as that has to be a red light for The Visual Prophet especially how long he’s already been in this match. Viz getting up to his feet slowly as Drake runs to the ropes and back, THIS TIME GOING FOR A KNEE STRIKE! But Viz manages to grab him, AS HE LIFTS HIM UP INTO A SPINEBUSTER! BUT DRAKE FLIPS OVER VIZ AND ROLLS HIM UP INTO A SCHOOLBOY PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRR-
Persephone: Kick out. Why can’t you guys be like Ronan Malosi and tap out to a Side Headlock or something like that.
Rich Russillo: Viz quickly pushing away as he rolls up to a knee. BUT DRAKE ISN’T DONE JUST YET AS HE GRABS HIM AND ATTEMPTS AN STO! BUT VIZ TURNS IT AROUND AND POSITIONS HIMSELF BEFORE LIFTING DRAKE UP AND DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO A URANAGE! Viz wagging his finger as you can tell that he’s toying around with Drake now that he’s tagged into the match. And you can see the anger that is just exuding out of The Last Messiah as Viz taunts him.
James Peters: AS DRAKE RUNS RIGHT TOWARDS HIM! But Viz moves out of the way and grabs him by the head as he throws him towards his corner! Viz just baited him as he runs forward now, AND SENDS A CORNER CLOTHESLINE TO HIS HEAD! And you know Viz wants to keep going but he sees the look on Malcolm Jones’ face. He knows he wants to get his hands on Drake as well!
TAG!
Persephone: STOP!
Rich Russillo: AND MALCOLM JONES IS IN THIS MATCH! Malcolm right into the ring as immediately he’s unloading on Drake with punch after punch towards his skull as he’s backed up in the corner! Drake is trying to fend it off as much as possible but ultimately is forced to shove Malcolm away! Malcolm steps back as he runs towards Drake, AND INSTEAD SENDS A BOOT TOWARDS HIS FACE TO TAKE HIM OFF GUARD AND DROP HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND NOW!
James Peters: I wouldn’t say Drake hasn’t been anticipating this meeting between the two of them but I’m sure he realizes now that Malcolm means business. :troll: Malcolm quickly bringing him up as he throws him towards the ropes and back. AS HE’S ALREADY GOING FOR A C-NOTE ATTEMPT! THE SPEAR COULD TEAR DRAKE IN HALF!
Persephone: THEN PIN HIM! 1-2-3! WOO! WE CAN MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES!
Rich Russillo: But Drake manages to leapfrog over it as now he’s the one to run to the ropes and back this time! AS DRAKE SPINS AROUND AND CATCHES MALCOLM WITH A DISCUS ELBOW TO DROP HIM DOWN TO A KNEE! Malcolm felt that but is right back up. BUT NOT BEFORE DRAKE POPS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDER AND RUNS HIM INTO THE CORNER SENDING HIM INTO IT WITH A BIG BUCKLE BOMB!
James Peters: Malcolm bounces off the corner as he manages to keep himself upright. AS DRAKE STEPS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A SUPERKICK! But Malcolm ducks under it as Drake turns around. AND MALCOLM CATCHES HIM WITH A PELE KICK TO DROP HIM DOWN INTO A SEATED POSITION! Both of them have traded a good amount of shots as Malcolm is back up to his feet. AND SENDS A PENALTY KICK TOWARDS THE FACE OF DRAKE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: Do I even know who I want to win at this point? I just want *a* winner is that too much to ask for? And make it quick, I’m going to be late for my pedicure damn.
Rich Russillo: Drake grabbing onto the bottom rope to make sure he has enough time to get back up to his feet. BUT MALCOLM ISN’T DONE AS HE GOES FOR AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF DRAKE’S FACE! Which Drake barely manages to duck under. Drake keeping ahold of the leg. AS HE’S GOING FOR SCRIPTURE! KOJI CLUTCH!
James Peters: BUT MALCOLM WITH A VICIOUS BACKHAND FORCING DRAKE TO SEPARATE FROM HIM! Both of them stumble up to their feet as Malcolm is up first making the run towards Drake to not lose the offense that he currently has! BUT DRAKE FINALLY CONNECTS WITH THE SUPERKICK! Malcolm keeping himself up in the air! BUT LED HIMSELF RIGHT INTO ASCENSION! DRAKE DROPS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION INTO THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK FACEBUSTER AS HE ROLLS HIM OVER AND GOES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNNEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHH-
Persephone: Sadly Malcolm kicks out.
Rich Russillo: Malcolm in a world of hurt but Drake is right back up to his feet knowing that this is exactly what he needed, a moment to capitalize on the situation. Drake stepping back as Malcolm begins to crawl, I think he sees it. AS HE RUNS TOWARDS HIM AND GOES FOR JUDGEMENT DAY! CURB STOMP ATTEMPT!
James Peters: But Malcolm manages to roll out of the way and get up to his feet! Drake runs towards Malcolm, BUT MALCOLM TAKES DRAKE DOWN WITH A CALF KICK! Malcolm back up to his feet as he falls against a corner. But I think he’s fallen into the New Eden corner as Myles and Minerva are already trying to grab at him in hopes to restrain him while Drake is down! But Malcolm is fending them off as he sends shots to both of them and makes his way out of the corner and out of harm’s way!
Persephone: Suddenly he’s an almighty being who can take on all of them at once because he’s the World Champion. Bitch your predecessor was Terry Chambers I don’t want to hear it.
Rich Russillo: BUT THE NEW EDEN DISTRACTION ALLOWS DRAKE TO RECOVER AND KICK MALCOLM IN THE GUT! Malcolm is forced down to a crawling position as it allows Drake to step back while Malcolm is making an attempt to recover!
James Peters: JUDGEMENT DAY! JUDGEMENT DAY! DRAKE DROPS MALCOLM INTO THE CURB STOMP AS MALCOLM IS OUT COLD! DRAKE HAS MALCOLM RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HIM AS HE HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS BE THE DECISIVE END OF THE MATCH RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Persephone: NO! THIS IS WHY I HATE THEM! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! JUST END THIS GODDAMN MATCH!
Rich Russillo: THE VISUAL PROPHET JUST LAUNCHED FORWARD AND BROKE UP THE PIN! And here comes Myles and Minerva quickly running in to help Drake. BUT VIZ TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! Drake looks absolutely furious as he waits for Viz to turn around! BUT CAMERON! CAMERON IS BACK IN THE RING AS SHE TAKES DRAKE DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH! FOREARM STRIKE TO HELP OUT HER PARTNERS!
James Peters: AND NOW LOOK AT MINERVA RECOVERING AND GOING AFTER CAMERON AS MYLES KEEPS MALCOLM AT BAY ATTACKING HIM AS WELL! VIZ TARGETING DRAKE AS NOW WE HAVE A BRAWL ON OUR HANDS! THE REFEREE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN IT SO I GUESS HE’S JUST GOING TO LET IT HAPPEN!
Persephone: Disqualify them all dumbass. Let this match end as quickly as possible it’s already gone on for way too long.
Rich Russillo: VIZ CLOTHESLINING MYLES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! Myles is down at ringside as Viz climbs up to the top. AIR VIZ! VIZ LAUNCHES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES MYLES DOWN WITH A BIG CROSSBODY! Minerva sees this as she drops Cameron down to a knee as she’s rolling out to help Myles fend off Viz! BUT CAMERON ROLLS OUT ONTO THE APRON AND GETS UP AS SHE LAUNCHES OFF THE APRON AND TAKES MINERVA DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A CROSSBODY AS WELL! CAMERON AND VIZ HAVE LAID OUT NEW EDEN!
James Peters: Drake stumbles up to his feet as he looks at the situation at the outside and that does not bring a smile to his face. But I think he knows he needs to get the job done and focuses back in on Malcolm. Drake making his way towards him. WAIT! WAIT! C-NOTE! SPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE BY MALCOLM TAKES DRAKE OUT AND SENDS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Persephone: Dear God I hope Drake broke something. It would make this match a little interesting. Or even better, Malcolm can end this match right here!
Rich Russillo: Well I think that’s what he’s about to do Persephone as Malcolm climbs up to the top rope! With no one to help Drake he has him right in his sights! OH MY GOD! 5 STAR SWAG SPLASH! SPLIT LEGGED FROG SPLASH CRUSHES DRAKE AS MALCOLM QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: NEW EDEN QUICKLY SLIDING INTO THE RING AS MYLES AND MINERVA KNOW THE TROUBLE THAT THEY’RE IN LOOKING TO BREAK UP THE PIN!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Persephone: BUT THEY’RE TOO FUCKING LATE LET’S FUCKING GO!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Scenario’ plays up as the crowd erupts into cheers. Malcolm quickly slides out of the ring as Myles and Minerva in pure anger quickly scramble to grab ahold of him. Malcolm slides into a seated position against the barricade as he has the biggest smirk on his face as he does. The ref makes his way over and hands him the EAW World Championship as The Visual Prophet and Cameron Ella Ava slowly join him at ringside. All of them facing the ring, adding insult to injury, they all raise their hands in victory to the anger of Myles and Minerva in the ring)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen here are your winners… THE TEAM OF THE VISUAL PROPHET, CAMERON ELLA AVA, AND THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, MALCOLM JONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: What a main event that we’ve been able to witness right here! There was a lot of bad blood between these eight competitors and it was bound to boil over at some point and that was tonight! They threw everything they had but in the end only one team could come out victorious, and that was The Visual Prophet, the returning Cameron Ella Ava, and of course, Malcolm Jones.
James Peters: Let’s not forget Malcolm pinning Drake, that definitely had to be an eye-opener for New Eden! And would definitely tell a lot if a match between the two of them for the title were to happen… though I highly doubt it. :lupe: But nonetheless tonight was his night along with his partners. Cameron winning her first match back and Viz sending a message to Drake heading into Battle of Egypt: Clash in Cairo! What a way to end the show! But for now, speaking for Rich and Persephone, I’m James Peters, signing out!
(Myles and Minerva are seen helping Drake up to his feet as The Last Messiah begins to gain his bearings. There’s only one thing on his face and that’s pure frustration alongside the anger of Myles and Minerva as well. The last shot seen is New Eden staring down Malcolm, Cameron, and Viz as the three of them make their way up the ramp. Before Voltage fades to black)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
