(EAW intro plays.)
(As per a recap for last week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage is shown: The show starts off with none other than Cleopatra kicking it off. She starts off by talking about her return and when she confronted Minerva during Bloodsport, saying that she’s heard that Minerva has kept her name in her mouth in the hopes of being talked about at the same capacity as the ‘Queen of The Nile.’ She talks about the history the two of them have and teases another chapter being written between the two of them to finish it off. Justin Windgate speaks from home thanking everyone for their support. He says that he got a concussion during Bloodsport and is unable to compete this week, but says if he could, he would. He then drops a bombshell of an announcement saying that he’s the second confirmed member for the Brand Warfare team at Territorial Invasion. He leaves by saying that nobody has been able to keep him down for long and he’ll be back and better than ever soon enough. Jay Jerry Johnson and Kirk Redwood are then in action for the first match of the night, where Kirk comes out on top in the end. Mary S. Atlas then has an interview talking about her loss against Holly Arrow at Bloodsport saying that it happened, but she’s focusing on her main goal and that’s Championship gold. Rebecca Blackwell then comes to hype her up, before both of them are interrupted by the insufferable Ryan Wilson. They bicker back and forth before Mary manages to get a New Breed Championship shot out of Ryan for next week. Captain Charisma and Molly Waters then have another drawing in the tag team lottery, this team choosing a team to fight for the Unified Tag Team Championships at Territorial Invasion. Captain Charisma first draws Candice Blair, who suddenly appears upon hearing her name, and is given the chance to draw her partner, who is revealed to be Danny Tanner. Candice is surprised for a good moment before Captain Charisma pulls her away and talks to her in private for an undisclosed reason. Rebecca Blackwell is then in in-ring action, making quick work of the pathetic Griff Warner. Jake Smith then comes out to brag about Bloodsport and talk about how he deserves an EAW World Championship opportunity more than anyone else. Telling Captain Charisma to do the right thing, and make Jake Smith vs. Drake King happen for the EAW World Championship at Territorial Invasion. Donovan Duke is then seen who is met by Ms. Extreme, who asks if Donovan would be Ximena’s opponent for the following week’s Voltage show, who happily accepts. Ms. Extreme is then met by none other than Drake King (#Dramille), who talks about Sierra and how he disagrees with the direction that she’s going in. But despite that, still shows concern for her especially in her match against her on Dynasty. Ms. Extreme then laughs it off, calling it cute, before threatening him and leaving. Alex Myers and Donovan Duke then have an excellent match between one another, where in the end, it’s Donovan that comes out on top. Ingrid Newkirk then confronts Captain Charisma because of her pure continuous disdain for the Piranha Deathmatch for the New Breed Championship. Ingrid talks about how it’s illegal and disgusting, but Captain Charisma dismisses her and doesn’t pay much mind. Josh The Dog then comes up to Ingrid cheerfully, but after biting her hand, Ingrid punts him, sending him into a wall. Holly comes over to check on him, but it’s to the disgust of Jake who tells her to get her hands off of his dog. After Holly leaves, Jake complains to Captain Charisma who simply isn’t having it, not even sticking around for Jake to ask for his World Title match. IDOL-GUN then has an interview with Sofia Clarke, where Hikari reveals that she’s been given the opportunity to man the team for the Women’s Divide and Conquer match at Clash of Kingdoms 2, confirming Miku to be the first member of the team as well. They say that Bloodsport was bad, but then ensures that nothing like that will never happen again. The Woogieman is seen hyping Danny Tanner up backstage, who seems nervous especially considering his newly confirmed partner for Territorial Invasion, Candice Blair. That’s made worse when Candice comes to them and plays around with a sweating Danny before saying that she’ll be watching at ringside coming up next. Danny then goes up against Ryan Wilson, and after Danny seems to be distracted by the looks of Candice Blair, Ryan manages to take advantage and get the victory over him. New Eden then cut a promo in the ring, talking about the problems at hand like Jake Smith and Cleopatra. All of them say that none of them belong nowhere near them, and that it’s something that they’re not going to be focusing on, instead focusing on change and one of the only ways they can do that is winning War Games at Territorial Invasion. Jamie O’Hara’s personal locker room is then invaded by Chris Elite asking if he and Jamie will be Co-Captains for Brand Warfare, Jamie of course declines. Ryan Wilson then comes in, telling Chris to get in the back of the line, saying that he’ll be perfect for the Brand Warfare match. After an argument between Chris and Ryan, Jamie simply shrugs his shoulders and leaves, not giving either of them a concise answer on whether they’re in the team or not. A round one match in the tag team tournament is then underway in the main event, with Jamie O’Hara and Chris Elite going up against Shane Gates and Lucas Johnson. In the end, it’s Chris that gets the pinfall on Shane, standing on top, and furthermore ending the show.)
(’33rd Blakk Glass’ by Sosmula and ZillaKami then blasts through the speakers as the screen then transitions to the Amway Center and the hyped up EAW Universe in attendance. They’re seen waving signs around and getting hyped while pyro shoots out from the stage in a beautiful array of orange and yellow. It then goes to the commentary desk where as usual, the team of Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone are seen.)
Rich Russillo: Ladies and gentlemen, we are live from Orlando, Florida this week; welcoming you to another action-packed episode of… SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: And what a show we have for you tonight, filled to the brim with as my broadcast partner said… ACTION! Like in our main event, the New Breed Championship is on the line with Ryan Wilson defending his Championship against Mary S. Atlas! But let’s not forget our EAW World Champion in action either, with Drake King going up against Alex Myers. And also the team of Holly Arrow & Jake Smith going up against the contenders for the Unified Tag Team Championships, Danny Tanner and Candice Blair!
Persephone: Boring… boring… and BORING! Look, we know how this show is going to go, and it’s going to be as disappointing as the last. So look, it doesn’t matter what type of shit is on the show because the facts are simple, I AM NOT INTERESTED! Let’s just get this over with, I have to get paid after this and I sadly, cannot leave.
(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ by Mick Gordon begins to play and the Orlando crowd doesn’t waste a second bringing themselves to all boo the New Breed Champion as his music starts, leaving no doubt about how they feel when it comes to seeing Ryan Wilson kick things off for this episode of Sunday Night Voltage! The former Saturday Night Showdown General Manager makes his way out onto the stage with the New Breed Championship around his waist, looking out at the audience for a moment before he begins making his way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring, your New Breed Champion…. RYYYYYYAAAAAANNNNN WILLLLLLLSSSSSSSONNNNNNN!!!!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson found himself in the position of struggling to make it onto Voltage’s team for Brand Warfare when Jamie O’Hara left him to seemingly look elsewhere in his efforts to make it onto the FPV, especially after Jamie made it quite clear that he doesn’t even expect Ryan to defeat Mary tonight.
Rich Russillo: I’m sure it had to light a fire under Ryan to make sure that he actually thwarts that outcome and proves Jamie and anyone agreeing with him wrong, but if Mary brings a fight that ensures herself a Championship win, where does that leave Ryan? :lupe:
Persephone: Who cares? Voltage doesn’t need Ryan on the team, but you know who we DO need? Rex McAllister! He’s the only way we’d be absolutely guaranteed a victory!
(Ryan continues into the ring after retrieving himself a microphone from ringside, and the Champion takes his spot in the middle of the ring. However, even after his entrance music has faded out, the crowd continues to boo him before he can even raise the microphone. Letting the moments pass, they finally settle down and Ryan finally goes to speak.)
Ryan Wilson: I-
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Ryan Wilson: I’d like to take this time to-
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Ryan Wilson: If you all would just-
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Persephone: :mjlol:!!!!!!
Ryan Wilson: I bet you would all like it if I just left out this ring and went to the back without another word, huh?
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Persephone: WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! AND SEND OUT A SEARCH PARTY FOR REX WHILE YOU’RE AT IT!!!!
(Ryan shakes his head in apparent disgust and then starts to the ropes, looking to make his exit as the crowd continues to cheer! Ryan gets one leg over the middle rope before suddenly stopping though, seemingly thinking things over and he brings the microphone back near his mouth.)
Ryan Wilson: ………On second thought, I think I’m gonna stay!
(Ryan makes sure to laugh into the microphone so that everyone can hear him as he mockingly skips back to the middle of the ring, the crowd sending jeers and boos his way while he stands there with a smirk on his face! The New Breed Champion looks around the arena and nods his head with a smirk, realizing that this audience has no intention of letting him speak. But rather than getting upset and frustrated, he motions for them to get louder and seems to be enjoying all this despite the fact that they’re trying to get him to leave from the ring.)
Ryan Wilson: No, get louder! Who else on this brand is getting as loud of a reaction as me?! Who else on Sunday Night Voltage has ever had a crowd this invested in them?! So please, continue! That way it’ll be undeniable that I should be in the main event matches more often with the ratings and reactions I’ll be getting for myself, not just for Championship defenses like the one I’ll succeed in tonight, but for main events throughout the rest of the season!
(Ryan continues calling on them to boo even louder but they soon begin to realize that giving him what he wants is only going to have him enjoying this, rather than getting frustrated with them. The Florida audience’s booing and jeering slowly fades out on an unenthused whimper, obviously upset with the fact that their actions only seemed to get the opposite reaction of what they wanted. Wilson nods his head with a smirk, having gotten to quiet down, and he takes his chance to speak and address the viewers.)
Ryan Wilson: In the main event match tonight, I’ll be defending my New Breed Championship against the young, the hopeful Mary S. Atlas and I’m sure that she’ll want to put up a fight, that she’ll have her heart set on becoming the new New Breed Champion… but as she’ll come to find out along with the rest of you and anyone else who was hoping that she’d be able to get the job done, that she was just no match for Ryan Wilson! If there’s one thing I’ve come to learn about Mary over the course of the past week leading up to tonight, it’s that she is just in over her head and she doesn’t even realize it. Maybe it’s the shine of my Championship whenever she’s seen it under these bright lights out here that has caused her to just get more caught up in the chase of things and just getting to this point, because it’s blinded her from truly considering who it is she’ll be dealing with. I didn’t come all this way myself over the years just to lose MY title so suddenly, to someone who hasn’t worked as long or as hard as me to make it in EAW – and after the match like the one I had at Bloodsport, she’s certainly not prepared for the lengths that I’ll go to even just tonight to ensure that I remain on top of Voltage as the New Breed Champion! She wanted to call me pathetic, she said I was arrogant and cocky as if I don’t have the right to be with the way I’ve carried this New Breed Championship and have fought to take myself to the heights that I’m seeing! I’m fighting to have the best New Breed Championship reign that I could possibly have and giving Mary the reminder that she’s just not anywhere on my level is going to be a proving point in this run that says not only am I leading at the forefront of the New Breed Division for a damn good reason, but that everyone can expect me to be reigning for quite some time! You know, it’s funny, because the other week when I met Jamie O’Hara and tried to get my spot on Voltage’s Brand Warfare team, he said no and that he’d rather see Mary on the team instead-
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Ryan Wilson: He even said that she was going to defeat me tonight-
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Ryan Wilson: But for every last person out there who wants to believe that, who wants to think that Mary could actually beat me and take what’s mine when I’ve been performing at the level that I’m on, grinding away and looking to set a new standard with this Championship while taking myself even higher, you’re all going to witness how I’m going to go right through her! Mary ending up in this spot is something she might think is a blessing to her career but it’s about to turn into a nightmare soon enough, and I’ve got no problem being the guy who goes and tears all her hopes to shit and shreds. And I sincerely, truly hope that Amir Yusuf is watching my match tonight so that he knows what it’s store for him, because that guy?
(Ryan scoffs and laughs, an amused expression showing up on his face as he takes a moment to think about the Showdown Elitist stating his desires for the New Breed Championship on Saturday Night Showdown.)
Ryan Wilson: Amir wanting his shot is just as laughable as Mary thinking she’ll even see the chance to leave as the new New Breed Champion. Who is he after all, to go around claiming he’s the next one in line? Last I checked, he’s hardly someone who should be going and throwing his weight around as if he has the room to make those kinds of claims, when he’s in the same position as Mary: just hoping that they can show that they’ll even come close, only to know deep down that they’re not ready at all for the huge task of dethroning me! Amir is a rookie who hasn’t proved a damn thing and he’ll probably even be the first one eliminated from his Brand Warfare team. And as far as that goes, I’d love to be there to see it! That’s why I’m calling out Jamie O’Hara to come into this ring right here, right now so that I can get what I want! If you thought I’d just brush last week off and move on, Jamie, you were wrong, and now you’re going to come out here in front of everyone to let them know that you’re changing your mind about me!
(Ryan had turned to face the stage, shouting his demands into the microphone for Jamie to show his face. The crowd is once again booing, hoping that if Jamie is even watching or listening from somewhere in the back that he won’t even come out to entertain Ryan’s demands. The New Breed Champion hasn’t moved at all in the ring, not going anywhere until he gets some type of an answer. Moments pass until ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zepplin begins to play and Jamie comes slowly making his way out from the backstage area, looking quite unimpressed with what he’s seeing in the ring.)
James Peters: I don’t think Jamie looks over the moon about Ryan Wilson trying to force his way onto the team right now :lupe:
Persephone: If he’s not here to announce that Ryan’s a dumbass and then tell everyone that he talked Rex into coming back and joining the team, then I don’t wanna hear it! We can just have security escort Ryan out the building and we can just get the rest of this shit show over with.
Rich Russillo: I don’t think we’re getting Rex for Brand Warfare, Persephone. :lupe:
Persephone: Good thing no one asked you, huh?! 😀
(Jamie casually makes his way down the entrance aisle while Ryan looks impatient, not all pleased with how the Hall of Famer and former World Champion seems to be okay with taking his time. O’Hara makes his way up the steps and into the ring with the microphone he’d brought with him, taking a spot to stand across the ring from the New Breed Champion. Jamie’s music fades and he simply stands there, looking at Ryan who’s clearly expecting something, only to get silence. Ryan raises his microphone only for Jamie to suddenly speak.)
Jamie O’Hara: Beg.
Ryan Wilson: Excuse you?
Jamie O’Hara: You heard me.
Ryan Wilson: No, I heard you speaking but I don’t think I heard you right. You wanna run that by me again?
(Just the slightest bit of a laugh escapes from Jamie.)
Jamie O’Hara: If you want a spot on the team so badly, Ryan, then beg for it.
Ryan Wilson: :comeagain:
(Jamie shrugs his shoulders and looks at a now uncomfortable Ryan, waiting patiently for Ryan to comply if he’s going to be wanting to join the team. The New Breed Champion looks around as if to check if anyone else is hearing Jamie and what he’s asking of him, before turning his head back to Jamie.)
Jamie O’Hara: I’m absolutely serious right now. If you thought you were just going to be handed a spot on the team, you were wrong. But just for you, Ryan, if you beg for your spot then you’ll get what you want.
(Ryan huffs and shakes his head, not having been prepared to be put in this tough spot but he’s clearly thinking things over. He sighs, looking to Jamie while Jamie simply stares back. Moments pass without either of them saying a word.)
Jamie O’Hara: Well?
Ryan Wilson: Well, what?
Jamie O’Hara: If you’re not going to do it then I can just get going and get out of here. I’ve got stuff to do, man, and there’s the rest of the show we’ve still got to get through.
Ryan Wilson: :skip:
Jamie O’Hara: It’s up to you, Ryan. You can’t blame me now when I’ve left it on you.
Ryan Wilson: :skip:
(Unlike when Ryan first showed up tonight, the crowd is absolutely silent and awaiting his response to all this. If he’ll give in for the spot he wants so badly or if he’ll reject Jamie’s demands which would be degrading for anyone to be put in that position, not that they haven’t already made it known that they’d be fine with seeing Ryan brought down more than just a few pegs. Jamie looks over his shoulder as if he’s ready to go and then to Ryan as if to give him a final chance before starting to backpedal to the ropes.)
Ryan Wilson: WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!
(Jamie stops in his tracks and then approaches Ryan, an expectant expression on Jamie’s face.)
Ryan Wilson: Okay, just hold on, I need a moment-
Jamie O’Hara: I don’t have any more moments to spare, Ryan. You either will or you won’t.
Ryan Wilson: I will! Just hold on!
James Peters: Oh my god he’s gonna do it :lupe:
Rich Russillo: :lupe:
(Ryan gives himself a moment to prepare, steadying himself as if somehow the demoralizing and emasculating weight of all this could bring him to his knees. Ryan exhales and takes a deep breath-)
Jamie O’Hara: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan Wilson: :skip:
Jamie O’Hara: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan Wilson: What the hell, Jamie?!
Jamie O’Hara: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Jamie is literally laughing in Ryan’s face, The Ace unable to hold back and doubling over while Ryan can only watch on, embarrassed and humiliated for having put himself right on the edge of nearly complying with begging for a spot on the Brand Warfare team. Jamie looks to the laughing crowd as he points to Ryan, practically in disbelief that Ryan would have actually begged him to let him on the team.)
Ryan Wilson: Are you done?
Jamie O’Hara: I- :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan Wilson: Listen-
(But Jamie suddenly gets serious, to the point where he’s cut himself off from laughing and he gets directly in Ryan’s face with no hint of enjoyment in his expression. The former World Champion had already looked displeased with the fact that he’d have to spend his time coming out here to address Ryan on the topic of joining the Brand Warfare team once again, and in a quick change of pace, Jamie isn’t fucking around anymore.)
Jamie O’Hara: No, you listen. For the second week in a row, Ryan, you’ve tried to force my hand and you’ve tried to bulldoze your way into somewhere you don’t belong. What, you think just because you’re the New Breed Champion that I would’ve picked you on the spot? No one thought you’d ever see a Championship reign, Ryan, but like I said, just another place where you don’t belong. I told you no last week about joining my team but here you are thinking that if you make a show of your demands, that if you can come out here and put Jamie fucking O’Hara on the spot in front of the whole world then maybe you could get what you want, but it doesn’t work that way. Not when you’re dealing with me and when I’m the one making the decisions. Maybe you were hard of hearing the other week but I believe I made it pretty clear why you’re not someone who has that kind of muscle, that kind of sway to just talk your way into a position that involves me – especially, me – being the one leading a team. I’ll say it now that you weren’t someone that I even truly considered because, knowing you, there can only ever be the unwanted feeling of leaving it all to chance and that’s not how I like to operate. See, this isn’t Showdown during your time as the General Manager, Ryan, where you can just pick and choose where you want to be or what you want to do because you’re not the one in control, you’re not the one with the power – and I’d say that’s a damn good thing all things considered.
Jamie O’Hara: You talked your shit about me, tried to make me seem like I was the bad guy or had played some kind of part in why Showdown was looked at the way it was during your run as the GM, and to top it all off, you let your power get to your head and practically said you were happy to see me go because of all that. Funny, now, how you were blaming me for not being around to elevate your brand when what proved itself to be the true detriment was your shitty management skills at work, but now it’s ironic for you to be the one who’s coming around now looking for me to elevate your career. It was “fuck Jamie O’Hara’s family” just a few months ago and now you’re ready to beg for a spot on my team that the rest of the world isn’t even sure that you’re up to task for, because I can assure you that there aren’t too many people looking at Ryan fucking Wilson as the honest, true leader of the New Breed Division when he couldn’t even keep a fucking EAW brand together. And you expect everyone to believe that you’re qualified to be a part of the Brand Warfare team? Because they’re certainly not looking to you as someone to make the best choices either, after you made the conscious decision to team with the guy who’d been fucking pissed on by Steroid Dawg and thought you two could somehow pull off the miraculous feat of actually defeating IDOL-GUN for the Unified Tag Team Championships. You’ve been here for years only just now accomplishing something while people not nearly here as long have surpassed you, lapped you at least twenty times over in achievements and accolades… but the oh-so-mighty Ryan Wilson was going to be the one who told Jamie O’Hara that he HAD to pick him to be a part of the Brand Warfare match?!
(Jamie scoffs while Ryan can only stand there looking frustrated, an intense and heated glare being cast in Jamie’s direction but he merely smirks back with actual amusement.)
Ryan Wilson: You might have the Championships, the Hall of Fame ring, the historic career – but you aren’t going to talk to me like that-
Jamie O’Hara: First of all, calm down. Try to relax a bit and really think about what you’re going to say next after I’m finished, because if you didn’t like what you needed to hear just now, you’ll at least want to shut your mouth and consider what I’m going to say next. You’re a trash human being and I don’t think that’s really up for debate at this point, but if for whatever reason you do happen to succeed over Mary and retain the New Breed Championship tonight, then you will be on the team. But if Mary wins and she becomes the New Breed Champion, and I sure as fuck hope she does succeed in that, then she’ll be the one on the team. Regardless of whichever one of you wins tonight, Voltage’s Brand Warfare team will see the New Breed Champion joining the rest of us at Territorial Invasion.
(Ryan obviously isn’t buying this at first and understandably so, which has him staring down Jamie and waiting for another troll moment to come out of this like before. But Jamie assures him off-mic that he’s absolutely serious and Ryan still has to take a moment to come around, his guard still up in anticipation of Jamie throwing another swerve his way. Ryan eventually sighs and nods, understanding.)
Ryan Wilson: Well, in that case, I-
(‘Elevate’ by DJ Khalil begins to play and the crowd bursts into cheers as Amir makes his way out, cutting off Ryan Wilson in the process and he looks just as surprised to see Amir Yusuf making his way into the view of the crowd!)
James Peters: That’s Saturday Night Showdown’s Amir Yusuf!
Persephone: Can’t he get out whatever he has to say on his own show? I don’t remember getting asked if it was okay for people who don’t even belong to Voltage to do interruptions tonight here on Rex’s show!
(Amir comes down the ramp and heads up into the ring, Jamie and Ryan watching on curiously as Amir doesn’t hesitate to park himself in the ring among them. He looks around with a grin, taking in the atmosphere before he begins to speak in his microphone.)
Amir Yusuf: I have to say, this whole thing between you two has been… interesting to see play out and I’m sure it’ll be even more interesting to see how it all comes together at Territorial Invasion, to say the least. I mean, if you retain tonight, Ryan, then it will just mean that your team doesn’t even trust you to be able to do your job, which sure says a whole lot about you considering you wanted to try to say that you expect me to be the first one from my team who’s eliminated.
(Ryan laughs and shrugs his shoulders, obviously being ready to change his stance on that one. Amir chuckles and shakes his head, not impressed at all with Ryan’s show of arrogance.)
Amir Yusuf: But pointing out Voltage’s weird team dynamics isn’t what I’m really out here for, because I knew that you would take the time to try to brush me off and dismiss me, Ryan, when I’ll be the one that gets a New Breed Championship match next.
Ryan Wilson: And I’m supposed to do what, Amir, be nervous? I hate to break it to you but it’s going to take more than what you’ve been doing to impress me or have me intimidated; beating Impact via disqualification isn’t something to brag about.
Amir Yusuf: Except I wasn’t bragging about that, Ryan. But you know what I will go ahead and point out? The fact that LC and Theron saw Impact having trouble against me two weeks ago and felt the need to get involved when I had Impact down. That was the same night that I went out and said I’m the biggest rising star in Season 15 knowing that Hawk said he’s been watching closely; clearly, I’m doing something right to have put myself on the map the way that I have. I’ve had guys like Impact and Adam Lucas on the edge of defeat and I was closing in on victory both times – I can’t change the Midsummer Massacre outcome, but I can take that experience from all of what I’ve already and take the experience I’ve gotten from getting in the ring with other legends, champions, and Hall of Famers, and put all that into showing that I have what it’s going to take for me to go out and win the New Breed Championship. Whether that’s you or Mary by the time Clash of Kingdoms comes around, it doesn’t matter to me and it won’t matter whether either of you likes it or not, because seeing as how Hurricane Hawk and Captain Charisma have come to the agreement that I’ll be taking on the winner between you and Mary at Clash of Kingdoms, I’ll just be winning it there no matter who’s got the Championship by then!
(The crowd cheers at Amir’s announcement and he can be seen nodding his head with a confident expression, pointing from Ryan and then to the New Breed Championship.)
Jamie O’Hara: I’d definitely like to see Amir versus Mary for the New Breed Title :drakelike:
Ryan Wilson: :skip:
Amir Yusuf: But that’s not all… Jamie.
(Jamie looks suddenly confused as to why Amir would turn to him and call him out, but Amir still looks as calm and confident as he did when he came out to the ring to join them.)
Amir Yusuf: I believe Ryan pointed out earlier that you’ve had a historic career, one that’s been proven to be Hall of Fame worthy and no one can take that away from you. You’ve gone to war with DEDEDE and won, you’ve won Extreme Elimination Chamber matches, competed in plenty of other demanding and bloody matches that you broke through your own limits to succeed, was the longest-reigning New Breed Champion, and have repeatedly shown time and time again why you’re great as you are every time you get in the ring no matter the outcome – I could honestly keep going on because you’ve literally done it all, and have cemented yourself as one of the greatest that we’re ever going to see in this industry. That said, I’ve been on Showdown competing against some of the best – Champions, Hall of Famers, like I said – and it’ll be a great opportunity to be in the ring with some more great competitors at Territorial Invasion. This isn’t just about Territorial Invasion though, Jamie, or just the New Breed Championship, because me coming here tonight was just as much about wanting to show the rest of my teammates about stepping up and seizing the moment…. which is why I want to face you, Jamie, next week on Voltage.
Crowd: :ohhh:!!!!
(The audience is taken aback by Amir’s boldness to step up like this but they quickly get behind the decision, cheering as he reassures Jamie with a nod while everyone else is watching on. Jamie looks at Amir, expressionless as Ryan can be seen shaking his head and laughing.)
Ryan Wilson: :gladbron: You must have some kind of death wish, kid.
Jamie O’Hara: Ignore Ryan, Amir, but I’m honestly confused as to why you’d want to do such a thing just before Territorial Invasion. If this is about wanting to prove something to Ryan, or even Mary if she wins, you don’t have to do that this way. You’ve done enough, and you just might be able to do a bit more at Territorial Invasion just ahead of Clash of Kingdoms, but coming out here and challenging me just so you can end up put down on your back in the middle of the ring at my hands isn’t something you should just go rushing into. What’s it going to accomplish when you lose? What is your team going to think when they see you being defeated so decisively after trying to make this match happen? All you’re doing is setting yourself up for is humiliation, Amir, and I would highly suggest you actually take the time to think about you’re asking for, because your head hung low in defeat as you go walking back to your teammates with everyone understanding you couldn’t have possibly been ready is exactly that you’ll get.
Amir Yusuf: You can say all that now, make it seem like some kind of warning, Jamie, but I’m willing to take my chances and step up to the plate to keep showing everyone what I’m made of and where my career is going when I’m doing more than just holding my own against one of the greats. Big time competition is who I want to be in the ring with and I know I can definitely prove a whole lot by continuing to do that, especially when it comes to getting into the ring with you, Jamie; it’ll mean something even more for me when I pull off the win and leave everyone shocked, but I’ll have been the one to know all along that I could do it. You won’t believe me now but you’ll know it when you’re the one who’s ending up on your back, looking up at the lights while I’m the one celebrating one of the biggest victories of my career so far this Season.
(Amir lowers his microphone and nods, not backing down from the match he laid out, and Jamie can only take that as a sign that he’ll have to do something about this. He shakes his head and lowers it, sighing with his eyes closed while Amir watches on. Finally, Jamie raises his head up and looks back to Amir as he brings his microphone up, a smirk forming on Jamie’s face as he starts to laugh. While his laughter when trolling Ryan had evident amusement, Jamie’s deep chuckle now is so clearly devoid of genuine humor to everyone listening, instead sounding ominous and haunting.)
Crowd: :lupe:
Jamie O’Hara: Amir, you have no idea what you’re in for. I’ll be seeing you next week.
(Jamie drops his microphone and ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zepplin begins to play as Jamie steps out onto the apron, stopping only for just a moment to look at a determined Amir and the two of them stare at each other before Jamie hops down, heading up the ramp with a smirk on his face while Amir and Ryan are left standing in the ring to settle with what the both of them have ahead of them going forward.)
James Peters: What a couple of announcements we just got in the ring just now! The winner of Mary versus Ryan tonight for the New Breed Title will see one of them joining the Brand Warfare team for Voltage at Territorial Invasion, before then defending the Championship at Clash of Kingdoms against Amir Yusuf!
Rich Russillo: And next week, we’ll be seeing Showdown’s Amir Yusuf going against Jamie O’Hara right here on Voltage!
Persephone: All I’m hearing is that there’s no Rex involved in any of that, so who really cares?! Not me! Damn sure not me! Now is the show finally over, because I’m ready to go-
James Peters: And up next, we’ve got our opening contest! What a way to kickoff Voltage, and we’ve still got the rest of our action-packed show to get through!
Persephone: Fuck all of you :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: :mjlol:!!!
(Voltage fades to the first commercial break of the night.)
(Commercial for Spider-Man: No Way Home, now that there’s finally a trailer to promote.)
(As Voltage fades back to ringside, ‘Mona Lisa’ by Lil Wayne featuring Kendrick Lamar hits, and immediately the crowd bursts into cheers as Cleopatra begins making her way out to the stage. The fans are clearly still excited to see her judging by the widely positive reaction, meanwhile Cleopatra has a smirk on her face as she walks down the stage and makes her way towards the ring, holding a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… Please welcome “the Queen of the Nile”… CLEEEOOOOOOPPAAAAATTRRRAAAA!!!!!!
James Peters: Cleopatra is here, and honestly I can’t say I’m surprised this time! We all heard what she had to say last week when she said that we might see another chapter in her story soon, and Minerva didn’t seem too pleased to see her here.
Rich Russillo: You said it. Cleopatra looks like she has something to say judging by that microphone in her hand, and honestly I can’t wait! It’s still insane seeing Cleopatra actually in a wrestling ring!
Persephone: :francis: I don’t care what she’s here for but she needs to hurry up and head back to the retirement home. She’s taking up way too much time that I could be spending doing literally anything else.
(Cleopatra enters the ring, and the smirk remains on her face as the cheering continues. She waits for a few moments as the crowd dies down, before looking directly at the camera.)
Cleopatra: Minerva, I heard you loud and clear. Honestly, I’m a little disappointed. I thought you’d be more happy to see me for the first time since 2019, but jealousy really is nasty. I didn’t just return to EAW because I was allowed to. I didn’t just come back because Captain Charisma opened the doors for me, I came back because EAW will *always* need a star of my magnitude, and it doesn’t matter how you feel about that. It didn’t matter what Amber thought about it either, and that’s why I’m the one that’s still standing in an EAW ring. The door will always be wide open for Cleopatra, and I don’t know why it wouldn’t be. It shouldn’t come to the surprise to anyone that I’d be welcomed back with open arms. There was just no way that I could allow the legendary career of Cleopatra to end on such a bitter note, and at Bloodsport I found an opportunity. Clearly my return DID come to the surprise of many, and for most of you that was a good thing, but some people don’t see things the same way everyone in the crowd cheering right now does.
Cleopatra: I could have returned at any time, and it wouldn’t make a difference. I’d still have a red carpet rolled out for me. I’d still have my throne. I’d still be the “Greatest Vixen That Ever Lived”, but in the end I chose to return at Bloodsport, and that wasn’t an accident. I found an opportunity to return to this company and continue to add even more legendary moments to a career that’ll never be replicated, and Minerva when SOSA Henderson talked to me months ago, I realized that my name was constantly in your mouth, and we both know why that was the case. The only thing you’ve done ever since I made my first entrance in years was complain. You complain that I’m here. You complain that I had a red carpet rolled out to me as a Queen should. You complain because I’m the one in this position and not you. You complain because I chose not to let what’d always be a historic career end back at Pain for Pride. Well… If you want to complain so badly, then why don’t you walk out here and complain to my face?
(The crowd immediately explodes, causing the smile on Cleopatra’s face to reappear.)
James Peters: Cleopatra is calling out Minerva! Cleopatra’s calling out the National Elite Champion, but is she actually going to answer!?
Rich Russillo: I don’t know if Minerva wants anything to do with Cleopatra! Minerva already has Territorial Invasion to think about, I’d be surprised if she actually wants to add anything else to her plate!
Persephone: PLEASE don’t walk out here Minerva. Just ignore Cleopatra and let her go back to wherever she-
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie hits, and the fans in the arena actually begin cheering loudly. They’re not cheering *for* Minerva, but they’re cheering in excitement knowing that someone as talented as Minerva actually responded to Cleopatra calling her out. Minerva’s holding the National Elite Championship in one hand, and in the other is a microphone, which she brings with her to the ring.)
Persephone: 🤦♀️
James Peters: It looks like Minerva’s answering after all! Not only is she making her way to the ring, but she actually has a microphone of her own in her hands!
(Minerva walks up to Cleopatra, and she doesn’t say anything, but she’s clearly not happy with Cleopatra being here as she’s already said in the past. The crowd on the other hand continues to cheer, as inside of the ring is one of the biggest female legends in EAW history and a legend in the making. Cleopatra looks amused seeing that Minerva decided to actually walk out to the ring, and she looks right at Minerva’s Championship before beginning to speak.)
Cleopatra: I hope you understand that women like me had to walk so women like you could run. It wasn’t easy making a name for yourself in the era that I’m from, and this is coming from someone that has done far more than make a name for herself by now. Years ago, Vixens weren’t treated the same way the women of today are. They weren’t treated with respect. They weren’t seen as a priority and it was blatantly obvious that they just weren’t cared about. Years ago the Vixens were lucky to even get one single match on television, but now? Now women are able to do whatever they want in EAW. Now the women ARE priorities. They’re not only priorities, but we have women all over the company now. We have women on top of the industry. Everywhere you go, everywhere you look, there’s a woman on top with a Championship in their hands, and I’m all for it.
Cleopatra: I’m all for the biggest wrestling promotion on the planet being full of talented women that could put on the best matches of the year on any given night. The Universal Women’s Champion Ms. Extreme, the Specialists Champion Dr. Bethany Blue, One half of the Unified Tag Team Champions Harlow Reichert, former EAW Champion Andrea Valentine, even my little clone Kassidy Heart who’s holding the Answers World Championship, they’re all going out there and showing that they’re the best wrestlers in the world. Things weren’t easy in my career, so I’m glad that the women of today are allowed to get the opportunities that so many before you couldn’t. I’m glad that today’s generation of women are getting the recognition that they wouldn’t have even had the opportunity to get years ago. I love seeing the women thrive, Minerva. Even you, believe it or not.
(Minerva raises an eyebrow after that final comment from Cleopatra, but it’s clear that she still doesn’t look too impressed, or really believe in everything Cleopatra has to say. After a few seconds, Minerva finally raises her microphone to speak.)
Minerva: I didn’t walk out here to listen to this. I don’t care about some drawn out speech, Cleopatra. I *know* you have ulterior motives, so you’re better off just spitting it out and stop wasting my time.
Cleopatra: :notbad: Fine by me.
(Cleopatra points at the National Elite Championship, causing the fans to once again begin cheering loudly. Minerva simply looks down at the Championship before looking back at Cleopatra.)
Cleopatra: My legacy can’t be touched by my opponents, and at the end of the day most people will live their lives without even reaching a fraction of my greatness, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t continue adding to it. I want a match against you at Clash of Kingdoms, and I want that match to be for the National Elite Championship!
(The excitement continues with the fans, and as Minerva remains silent the fans begin chanting “yes”, as they clearly want that to be her response to Cleopatra’s challenge. The fans would love to see Minerva and Cleopatra face one more time, in what’d likely be their biggest match yet as they face for the National Elite Championship. Finally, Minerva raises her microphone, and the crowd quickly quiets down so they can hear her response to Cleopatra.)
Minerva: If you really want your return to EAW to end with disappointment and failure, then so be it. I accept your challenge.
James Peters: IT’S OFFICIAL!!! MINERVA JUST AGREED TO DEFEND HER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST CLEOPATRA AT CLASH OF KINGDOMS!!! Minerva and Cleopatra were part of such a big feud back in 2019 that arguably helped put Minerva on the map, and now two years later, with Minerva holding the National Elite Championship, they’re about to share the ring once again!
Rich Russillo: The crowd is excited to see this match, and I don’t know if there’s a single person on the planet that’s NOT excited to see this!
Persephone: …..
James Peters: Well… Other than Persephone of course.
(Both women drop their microphones, and they get in each other’s faces, with both women clearly not willing to back down. The fans have been cheering as loud as they can as soon as Minerva accepted Cleopatra’s challenge, and the cheering has only continued now. The tension is clearly high as the two women stand face to face and eye to eye, which can only be expected knowing the history these two have and how personal things have been for them in the past. After a few seconds though, Cleopatra begins to chuckle before backing away, mockingly patting Minerva on the head in the process.)
Cleopatra: (off-mic) I’m looking forward to our long awaited one on one match.
(‘Mona Lisa’ hits, and Cleopatra makes her way out of the ring as Minerva stays and watches, clearly not amused with Cleopatra still.)
James Peters: I don’t think words can describe just how big this match will be! Minerva is a former National Elite Champion, Unified Tag Team Champion, Universal Women’s Champion, and she’s going up against one of the greatest to ever do it! This isn’t just any other match, or any regular opponent, this is Cleopatra we’re talking about!
Rich Russillo: Minerva has voiced her frustrations with Cleopatra and her treatment here, but whatever happens at Clash of Kingdoms, Minerva won’t be able to blame anyone else for! Minerva accepted this challenge, and if you ask me, she might actually know what she’s doing! Both of these women are very accomplished, and it’s for good reason. We know the talent they possess, and there’s no doubt that they’re going to give us an amazing match!
Persephone: I actually don’t see the appeal of this match and I wish my time wasn’t wasted on a dumb challenge that’s just gonna cause my time to be wasted AGAIN at Clash of Kingdoms. Everything about this is stupid, and if you ask me this all could’ve been avoided if Myles didn’t cheat against Rexy back at King of Elite.
James Peters: :skip:… You know what, I have nothing to say. Minerva versus Cleopatra is actually going to happen! This moment speaks for itself, and I think the fans are on the same page as me here!
(As the fans continue cheering, and ‘Mona Lisa’ continues to play, Cleopatra walks up the ramp with a grin on her face. Minerva just shakes her head with a look of disgust on her face watching the legend continue making her way up the ramp, and from there Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)
[SCREENBAR- EARLIER TONIGHT BEFORE VOLTAGE]
(The camera opens to Captain Charisma in his office sitting at his desk working on something when he hears the door knock.)
Captain Charisma: Come in.
(Seconds later the door opens and Donovan Duke walks into his office with a smile on his face.)
Donovan Duke: Mr. Captain Charisma. It’s a pleasure to see you, sir. I was told you wanted to see me for something?
Captain Charisma: Hello, Donovan! It’s nice to see you. Thank you for coming so quickly. Yes, I did want to talk to you about something important, but you are going to have to wait just a few moments longer. I am just waiting for Alex Myers to arrive.
(Donovan’s smile fades into a confused expression as he looks at Captain Charisma.)
Donovan Duke: Alex Myers?!? That little crybaby butterball? Why do we need to wait on them, sir?
Captain Charisma: Well what I have to say involves the two of you and I really wanted to have you both here at the same time when I decided to make this announcement. So it would be best that we wait.
Donovan Duke: I understand, sir. I’d rather not be in the same room as that snot rocket and it isn’t exactly what I would do, but it’s whatever. I am a gentleman and if I have to wait, then I will wait.
(Seconds later, Alex Myers walks into the office. Captain Charisma smiles and Donovan rolls his eyes.)
Alex Myers: You wanted to see me?
Captain Charisma: Yes I did. Thank you for getting here so quickly, Alex.
Donovan Duke: Yes. It’s a pleasure for you to take time out of your “busy schedule” for you to join us, Alex. What happened? Was the line for diaper changes at the daycare center too long?
Alex Myers: Don’t you start with me, Duke! Unless you want a repeat of what happened last week?
Donovan Duke: You mean where you talked a whole bunch of shit and then I kicked your ass and won? Then I would ABSOLUTELY love a repeat of last week!
(Alex and Donovan continue to argue as Captain Charisma gets more and more frustrated.)
Captain Charisma: Alright! That’s enough out of the two of you.
(Alex and Donovan immediately stop arguing and look at their General Manager in silence.)
Captain Charisma: Now I didn’t bring you in here to start fighting again. There are many other people on Voltage who are already driving me crazy, so I really don’t need to hear it from you two. I’m not in the mood to have the two added to that list, so let’s get down to business.
Donovan Duke: Yes, sir. But If I may ask, sir. Why exactly are we here?
Captain Charisma: Glad you asked, Donovan, because I am getting ready to tell you. Now you both know that our next big FPV event coming up is Territorial Invasion, correct?
Alex Myers: Of course.
Donovan Duke: Absolutely! First major tri-branded show of the season. I can’t wait!
Captain Charisma: Good! Keep up that energy because what I am about to tell you both involves Territorial Invasion. You guys heard about the Women’s Divide and Conquer match on Dynasty that is taking place at Clash of Kingdoms, right?
(Donovan and Alex nod in the affirmative.)
Captain Charisma: I’m not sure if you heard the announcement on Showdown last night, but I am going to tell you all this now. Well…I am here to tell you that at Territorial Invasion, there will also be a Men’s Divide and Conquer match added to the card.
(The announcement piques the interest of both Alex and Donovan.)
Captain Charisma: Unlike the women’s match, the Men’s Divide and Conquer match will feature all three brands of EAW. It’ll be Dynasty and Showdown teaming up to take on Voltage.
(Donovan and Alex are getting more intrigued by the second the more they listen to Captain Charisma.)
Captain Charisma: If you ask me, I couldn’t think of two better people to be the first members of Team Voltage than the competitor who came dangerously close to winning the New Breed Championship at Bloodsport along with Mr. 24/7 himself.
Donovan Duke: So you’re telling us that you want us to be on a team to give Voltage another opportunity to take home more brand superiority? Did I understand that correctly?
(Captain Charisma nods his head.)
Donovan Duke: You know what? I like the sound of that. This whole Divide and Conquer sounds very intriguing to me. Count me in!
Alex Myers: Same here! I’ll join the team, too. But I do have one condition first.
Captain Charisma: Alright. Now I’m curious, Alex. What exactly is this condition of yours, Alex?
Alex Myers: My condition is that I get to be the Team Captain.
(Donovan turns and looks at Alex completely dumbfounded.)
Donovan Duke: Woah Woah Woah! Now why in the hell should you get to be the team captain? Between the two of us, if either of us deserves to be the team captain, it’s completely obvious that the team captain should be me.
Alex Myers: You? Why the hell should you get to be the captain?
Donovan Duke: Isn’t it obvious? Unlike you, I won my match at Bloodsport. Not only that, I added a little bit of class to your life when I kicked your ass in our match last week. If that wasn’t enough, I am the current Mr. 24/7 contract holder. I think that’s plenty of enough proof why I should be the one leading Team Voltage to victory.
Alex Myers: Blah Blah Blah. Yeah whatever you say, Duke. We all know that there won’t be very much left of you whenever you get the shit beat out of you by Ximena later tonight.
(Donovan’s eyes go wide as he can’t believe that Alex had the nerve to say that. He is getting very annoyed with Alex and is about to lose his temper.)
Donovan Duke: Who in the hell do you think you are, you little motherfuc….
(Before Donovan can say anything in return, he is interrupted by somebody.)
???: Hold on a second.
(Seconds later, Kirk Redwood walks into Captain Charisma’s office.)
Captain Charisma: Mr. Kirk Redwood. What do I owe this sudden visit to?
Donovan Duke: (to himself) Visit? The guy just barges into the office like he owns the place and interrupts me. Fucking asshole.
Kirk Redwood: I was just walking past your office and I couldn’t help but overhear what you were talking about. All this stuff about a Divide and Conquer match at Territorial Invasion and getting a team together for Voltage. Now I would love the same opportunity you are giving Donovan and Alex.
(Alex looks at him stunned and Donovan rolls his eyes listening to this guy.)
Kirk Redwood: You see, I would absolutely love the chance to show the EAW Universe what exactly I can do when given a chance.
(Captain Charisma is getting very intrigued with what Kirk has to say.)
Captain Charisma: First off, let me tell you that I don’t appreciate you barging into my office completely unannounced. Secondly, I do appreciate the intensity and spirit that you are bringing to Voltage. You really want the chance to prove yourself? You want to be part of Team Voltage in the Divide and Conquer match?
Kirk Redwood: You bet I do.
(Captain Charisma takes a second to think about Kirk’s request.)
Captain Charisma: You want it that badly, huh? You know what…you’ve got it. Kirk Redwood, consider yourself the third member of Voltage’s Divide and Conquer team.
(Redwood pumps his fists in the air as Alex and Donovan are next to them looking indifferent at the announcement.)
Captain Charisma: Now it’s not just going to be the three of you on the team. The remaining members of the Voltage team will be determined on next week’s show. Now I want to let you all know that I have the utmost faith in the team that Voltage is going to have at Territorial Invasion. It doesn’t matter who Showdown or Dynasty throw into the mix because it won’t be enough to keep Team Voltage down!
(Captain Charisma’s motivation gets the three team members certainly hyped up for the match.)
Kirk Redwood: You don’t have to worry about that. The chance to beat the shit out of the other team to show my dominance. Enough of a reason for me.
(Kirk leaves the office as Donovan and Alex give him a look of “What the Hell”.)
Alex Myers: You won’t have to worry about a thing, Captain Charisma. With me as the team captain, there won’t be any doubt that Voltage will win the match.
(Alex Myers starts to leave the office as Donovan yells to Alex as they leave.)
Donovan Duke: YOU’RE NOT THE CAPTAIN, YOU MORON!!
(Donovan rolls his eyes in frustration as he turns back to Captain Charisma.)
Donovan Duke: Mr. Captain Charisma. Thank you for the opportunity for us to show what Voltage can do. You won’t have to worry about Territorial Invasion. This will just be one more match to help Voltage clean sweep the entire event.
(Donovan shakes Captain Charisma’s hand with a smile on his face as he leaves the office. Captain Charisma smirks and shakes his head as the scene fades to black.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, where Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
(‘Ready To Die’ by The Notorious B.I.G. hits, and the Voltage crowd immediately begins booing as loud as they can as a focused Lucas Johnson begins walking out to the stage. Lucas Johnson looks like he’s ready for this match.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! From Long Island, New York. Weighing in at 210 pounds. He is The Blueprint; LLUUUUUCCAAAAAAAS JOOOOOOOHNNNSSOOON!!!!!
(‘Swallowing the Rabbit Whole’ by Code Orange then follows, and the booing continues as Shane Gates walks out to the stage. Shane Gates slowly makes his way down to the ring as the booing continues, not paying attention at all to the reaction from the fans.)
Bella Braxton: And his partner! From Huntington Beach, California. Weighing in at 213 pounds; SHAAAAAANNNEEE GAAAAAAAAATTTESSS!!!!!
James Peters: Here comes a team that seems to become more of a unit as they are booked again this week despite a losing effort in the first round of the Unified Tag Team Turmoil Tournament!
Rich Russillo: Maybe they will stick together and see how they fare as a duo in the future. Tonight is a perfect opportunity to bounce back after a loss!
Persephone: They have a better shot at beating them two bozos than Chris and Jamie for sure, I mean, they never stood a chance last week! Not then nor ever.
( ‘T.D (Visualizer)’ by Lil Yachty, Tierra Whack ft. A$AP Rocky, Tyler, The Creator plays over the sound system of the arena as Jay makes his way to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd. )
Bella Braxton: And Their Opponents! Introducing first! From Chicago, Illinois but residing in Yokohama, Japan. Weighing in at 198 pounds. He is the Charismatic Artist; JAY… JERRY… JOHNSOOOON!!
( ‘Bad Man’ by Blues Saraceno replaces T.D. over the speakers and the crowd is with equal mixed reactions as Kirk makes his way to the ring. He looks to his partner for the night and then to his opponents looking ready. )
Bella Braxton: And his tag team partner! From Boston, Massachusetts. Weighing in at 210 pounds. He is The Bastard Son; KIRK REEEEED-WOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: An odd pairing these two as they battled each other no sooner than on last week’s episode of Voltage!
James Peters: That’s right! Kirk Redwood emerged victorious that night so I wonder if this team will be able to hold together or if they will implode.
Persephone: Sometimes I wonder if Charisma just picks names out of a hat to book cards, ‘cause that’s how I feel about this pairing.
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We GO! This match is officially underway! Shane Gates and Kirk Redwood to begin the match while their respective partners are standing in opposite corners of the ring! Both legal men are circling each other and then moving into a clinch in the center of the ring! Both main strain and struggle and they end up powering each other to a corner, Shane pushing Kirk with all his might until it gets broken by the official following a reversal by Kirk and a hand to Shane’s face!
Rich Russillo: Both men center the ring. A clinch once again followed quickly and stiffly! A headlock by Shane Gates who is now in control but it doesn’t last long as he gets pushed into the ropes by Kirk turning it into an Irish whip. Kirk Redwood bounces off the ropes but GOES DOWN WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK AND SHANE DROPS TO HIS KNEES FOR A QUICK COVER
Referee: O-
James Peters: Kirk kicks out before the official strikes a one-count!
Persephone: Way too early for a pinfall Shane! IDIOT!!
Rich Russillo: Surely to deliver a message! Shane goes back to work on the head of Kirk keeping him under his arm with a headlock before both opponents get to a vertical position. Kirk pushes Shane back into a corner, the official is asking for separation again but just as he does Kirk throws a few punches to the midsection at Shane! Kirk with the ascendancy but not for long as Shane reverses with a quick throw European uppercut which is reeling Kirk! This allows time for Gates to go to his corner! Raising his hand he tags in Lucas who goes inside the ring while Shane whips Redwood to their corner and throws A CLOSED FIST STRIKE at him before going between the ropes.
James Peters: The official doesn’t approve of this but Gates doesn’t seem to care as now The Wrestling Machine is on the offensive! UPPERCUT connecting with Kirk who tried to block it but not fully! Lucas goes for another before whipping him into the ropes! Johnson with a trip forcing Kirk to his knees and he quickly goes himself to the ropes AND STRIKE KIRK WITH A SHINING WIZARD! THE KNEE CONNECTS WITH THE HEAD OF REDWOOD! DOWN GOES KIRK and Lucas doesn’t wait to continue the offense as he throws in a leg drop for good measure followed with a well-aimed elbow smash directly at Kirk’s heart! But Redwood gets up regardless though holding his ches-WOAH HE JUST GOT RAN OVER BY LUCAS WHO RAN IN WITH A BIG RUNNING CLOTHESLINE! REDWOOD FLIPS AND LANDS ON HIS CHEST!!! He is slow to get up, Lucas helping him stand straight but SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A NECKBREAKER FOLLOWED BY A COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: Kirk kicks out!
Persephone: Hit harder Lucas! Maybe this match will end faster!
James Peters: Kirk looks to be in trouble now as Lucas quickly presses on WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS THAT CONNECTS! Lucas wants to go for a cover but Kirk easily powers out and returns to a sitting position. Lucas goes to scoop him up BUT KIRK COUNTERS BY PUNCHING HIM IN THE FACE!! He whips Lucas across the ring and attempts to bring him down with a clothesline, but Johnson ducks low and uses the momentum he gains to come charging at Kirk who EATS A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! Another cover by Lucas!
OOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!
Rich Russillo: Kirk Redwood easily gets the shoulder up and Lucas Johnson pulls him back up. The two men are exchanging chops now, each one just a little harder than the last. Finally, Kirk gains the clear advantage and he lands two punches to the skull of Lucas Johnson! Kirk keeps on striking which forces Lucas into enemy territory in Kirk’s corner as Jay tags himself in!
Persephone: Johnson versus Johnson this WON’T GET CONFUSING AT ALL!!!!
James Peters: We will handle it, I have faith in our descriptive abilities! Now, Jay is on the offense throwing kicks to the gut of Lucas! Followed by a spinning back fist! And he takes Lucas down with a back elbow smash! Nice offensive sequence there Triple J and he follows it up with a leg drop that lands across Lucas’ throat! Chicago’s Daredevil goes for another cover!
OOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
James Peters: LUCAS KICKS OUT! Johnson was able to get his shoulder up and this match-up is still going on. Shane in Lucas’s corner seems to be getting in on the action now as he clearly wants into the action. Jay sees Lucas in the corner of his eye and starts making his way crawling to the corner. But Jay isn’t going to let that happen as he grabs a hold of his opponent’s hair and drags him up to his feet! He delivers an uppercut to Lucas staggering him backward. Here comes Jerry going for a clothesline BUT LUCAS IS ABLE TO GERMAN SUPLEX JAY RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo: Lucas now has the chance to tag Shane Gates and possibly get this match back into their favor! But here comes Kirk Redwood!! He grabs a foot from Lucas and starts dragging him back to his corner!!! Lucas though able to hop onto one-foot STANDING HURRICANRANA!! JAY FLIPS OUT OF THE RING! Lucas has a chance to make a tag now! He does so by leaping towards Shane! Shane Is In! Jay is back into the ring! BIG BOOT PLANTED RIGHT IN THE FACE OF JAY JERRY JOHNSON! HE CHAINS HIS SEQUENCE BY BLASTING KIRK REDWOOD RIGHT IN THE FACE KNOCKING HIM OFF THE APRON!
James Peters: Impressive display right there by Shane Gates and I don’t think he’s done quite yet here folks! It looks like he’s setting Jay for Heartless Demise! The Muscle Buster! NO! Jay was able to wiggle away from Shane who isn’t giving up quite yet, he chases down Jay who is too quick slips between Gates’ legs, DROPKICK! THE DROP KICK STRIKES SHANE SQUARE ON THE BUTTON AND DROPS HIM ON THE MAT! Kirk Redwood is now back on the apron while Jay gets picked up by Shane Gates who is going for his next move BUT JAY COUNTERS IT WITH A LEG SWEEP! DOWN GOES SHANE GATES AND JAY TURNS THE TABLES!
Rich Russillo: Jerry is able to tag Kirk Redwood in while on the other side of the ring Lucas Johnson tags himself in relieving Shane! Lucas is greeted with a stiff clothesline from Kirk, knocking him down, but he gets right back up. And another clothesline! He gets knocked right back down! But he’s putting up a fight, he is not letting go! Here he comes right back at Kirk Redwood WHO KICKS HIM IN THE GUT AND SETS HIM UP FOR A TIGER SUPLEX!! KIRK PLANTS DOWN LUCAS! Kirk is going topside now going up to the top turnbuckle; he seems to be waiting to make his next move waiting for Lucas who just now returns to his feet. Kirk goes airborne! CROSSBODY!! Again taking Lucas Johnson down! KIRK GOES FOR THE COVER
OOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Persephone: No!
James Peters: Lucas was able to get out of that pinning predicament AND TRIES FOR A REVERSAL IN THE FORM OF A ROLL-UP!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Persephone: Sigh! Kirk lifted the shoulder up. Yay…
Rich Russillo: Jay Jerry Johnson on the apron on his side of the ring is jawing at Lucas Johnson and is moving away from his position! The ref is getting involved he’s doing this on purpose! Wait, is he? LUCAS MEANWHILE GOT KIRK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!! He tries for a cover but the official is distracted! Lucas is now trying to get the referee’s attention back onto the match. Neither Jay nor the official is paying attention to the ring, and that could be trouble for Lucas because Kirk is back on his feet. Kirk rushes towards Lucas WHO FELT HIM COMING! LUCAS MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AND KIRK RAMS INTO HIS PARTNER JUST AS THE OFFICIAL HAD MOVED OUT OF THE WAY BEING DONE WITH JERRY!! JAY IS PROJECTED OFF OF THE APRON! Kirk looks shocked, and distraught LUCAS JOHNSON FROM BEHIND! SCHOOLBOY PIN ATTEMPT! THIS COULD BE IT!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
James Peters: NO! KIRK JUST BARELY LIFTED HIS SHOULDER UP! He did though and thus this thing isn’t over yet. Lucas and Kirk are both able to roll back up onto their feet with Kirk taking wild swings at Lucas, but Lucas ducks, and delivers an inverted atomic drop, and a thumb to the eye! The referee is giving a warning to Lucas, but Lucas isn’t even paying attention. Lucas is now, lifting Kirk up FOR A BACKBREAKER! Lucas has turned this match around!! He has this thing firmly in his grasp! Lucas now stalking his opponent. He just steps on Kirk’s ankle, and puts his full weight on it, and FINISHES IT WITH A STOMP! Kirk is trying to crawl away but it looks as if Lucas is just toying with him right now.
Rich Russillo: He steps on his ankle again, AND STOMP! Kirk is screaming out in pain, I don’t know he might’ve really hurt his ankle! LUCAS GOES FOR THE ANKLE LOCK! LUCAS HAS APPLIED THE ANKLE LOCK AND KIRK REDWOOD IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET OUT Of IT!! He is getting some traction and looks like he almost has the ropes! NO! Lucas Johnson is able to pull him back into the middle of the ring. Jay Jerry Johnson is back on the apron and reaching out, trying to get the tag. But Kirk is too far to get it! He’s trying, he’s reaching out as far as he can as he powers his way towards his corner but what about that Ankle lock! Will he tap out before reaching the tag?? He’s inching closer, and closer, AND SUDDENLY LUCAS DRAGS KIRK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!!
Persephone: Wait what’s Kirk doing?! He-
Rich Russillo: HE TURNED HIMSELF ON HIS BACK WHICH TWISTS HIS ANKLE EVEN MORE AND KICKS LUCAS IN THE FACE WITH HIS FREE BOOT! LUCAS LET’S GO OF THE HOLD WHICH ALLOWS REDWOOD TO CRAWL TO HIS PARTNER AND TAG HIMSELF OUT!! HE JUST SAVED THE MATCH FOR HIS TEAM BY SACRIFICING HIS ANKLE! BUT WHAT IMPACT WILL IT DO FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE BOUT? Now in comes Jay Jerry Johnson rushing at Lucas Johnson and throwing fists at the man before taking him down with a leg sweep! He throws some knees in driving them down to the ride and ribs of Lucas before picking the man up and whip him into the ropes.
James Peters: He goes to the other side AND JUMPS ON THE MIDDLE ROPES BOUNCING INTO A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY ON LUCAS JOHNSON! LUCAS IS DOWN AND IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK UP! But Jay is getting up quicker positioning himself behind Lucas what is he going t-HE JUMPS BEHIND LUCAS GRABBING AT HIS SHOULDERS FORCING HIM INTO A BACKSTABEEEEEEEEER!!! THE BACKSTABBER INTO THE SPINE OF THE WRESTLING MACHINE WHO HOLDS HIS BACK IN PAIN! COVER BY JAY JERRY JOHNSON!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
James Peters: NO! LUCAS MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THIS!
Persephone: FUCK!
James Peters: One of that team’s best chances may have just gone up in smoke folks as Lucas is still in this fight despite the pain! Jay sighs a bit but trucks on as he moves to his knees then his feet picking up Lucas and drills him on his back with a crisp snap suplex! Lucas is down again but Jay is not letting off the pressure as he picks Lucas up quickly bending him forward before setting him up for A SIT-UP POWERBOMB! THE POWERBOMB CONNECTS AND JAY looks towards Kirk shouting asking him if he wants a piece of the action?
Persephone: Ha! Look at Kirk! Wuss!
Rich Russillo: The damage done on the ankle earlier seems to be getting Kirk Redwood to tell his partner he is going to sit this one out for the time being! Jay shrugs saying Whatever before clubbing Lucas with a heavy set of hands in ax handle position! Lucas goes to his knees he who had managed to pick himself up! Jay raises his hands again wanting to go for the ax handle again BUT WAIT AS HE GOES DOWN LUCAS TURNS AND GRABS ONTO JAY AND MOVES INTO A COQUINA CLUTCH POSITION!!! HE HAS IT LOCKED IN JAY IS IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE NOW! IS HE GOING TO GIVE UP AND COST HIS TEAM THE MATCH! BUT KIRK MANAGES TO COME INTO THE RING LIMPING A BIT AND THROW A KICK TO BREAK THE HOLD! LUCAS is on his knees holding his face as Jay scatters to the corner he wants to tag in Kirk BUT REDWOOD REFUSES!
James Peters: LOOK BEHIND THEM!
Rich Russillo: Lucas is making his way to his corner! HE TAGS IN SHANE! JAY DOESN’T SEEM TO REALIZE IT! LUCAS IS RUNNING BEHIND HIM! HE STRIKES HIM WITH THE KILLSWITCH TO THE BACK!! JAY IS PUSHED AGAINST KIRK WHO FALLS TO THE OUTSIDE! LUCAS MOVES TO HIS CORNER AND SHANE COMES IN AS THE LEGAL MAN! HE PICKS UP JAY! RECKOOOOOOOOOOOONIIIIIIIIING!!! THE IRON CLAW CHOKESLAM!!!!
James Peters: SHANE WITH THE COVER ON JAY!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Swallowing the Rabbit Whole’ by Code Orange then follows, and the booing resumes as Shane Gates’ arm are raised simultaneously alongside Lucas Johnson’s by the official to signal their victory!)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen here are your winners! The Team of SHANE GATES and LUCAS JOHNSON !!!!!
Persephone: Finally This Match Is OVER!!!
James Peters: A great back and forth between two make-shift teams who knows what the future will hold for them! Tonight however the night belongs to … and …!
Rich Russillo: Let’s not discard Kirk Redwood and Jay Jerry Joh- wait hold on look at them arguing against each other in the center of the ring! Clearly the loss is not settling well between the two opp-WOAH!!!
Persephone: Haha!
James Peters: A CUTTER OUT OF THE BLUE JAY CALLS IT THE PRETTY VISITOR! JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST ATTACKED HIS PARTNER FOR THE NIGHT AND NOW HE IS APPLYING THE JERRY SPECIAL ON A DEFENSELESS KIRKWOOD!! THE CROSSFACE ON KIRKWOOD AS THE OFFICIALS ARE TRYING TO PRY THE LOSING JOHNSON OFF OF KIRK!! HE YELLS BEFORE LETTING GO and roll out of the ring bailing out looking frustrated. I guess those two won’t partner up anytime soon!
(With Kirk Redwood down, the fans booing and Jay Jerry Johnson having already rolled out of the ring, Jay begins making his way up the ramp. From there, Voltage begins to fade away from the area while Kirk Redwood is tended to by the officials.)
(Commercial for Kanye West’s “Donda” album featuring Impact, who goes into detail why Kanye West is better than Drake for an uncomfortable amount of time.)
(Voltage fades back to a shot of the crowd, before ‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer takes over the arena’s speaker and a chorus of boos ring throughout the crowd. Drake King slowly makes his way onto the stage, dragging his title on the stage as is typical for Drake, the crowd shows him an absolutely merciless reaction and lets him hear their disdain.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, PLEASE WELCOME THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION! DRAKKKKKEEEEEEE ‘THEEEE REEDEEEMMMEERRRRR’!!!!!
(Crowd boos very loudly as Drake shows them nothing, but a stoic expression. Ice in his veins as he walks down the ramp and shows no respect for the EAW World Championship. A young fan reaches by to touch it and Drake smacks his hand away. The young fan begins to cry as Drake wipes his gloves on the barricade and then continues to make his way to the ring.)
(Drake walks into the ring and is handed a microphone by ringside officials. He drops the title onto the canvas and proceeds to speak.)
Drake King: A wise man once said that greed…greed is a bottomless pit. An endless occupation, turned need to satisfy one’s goals, without ever truly finding satisfaction.
(The crowd quiets as Drake wears a ponderous expression on his face.)
Drake King: None could be truer and more accurate than when looking at this company, this whole industry, even. In our backyard, this brand’s so-called “competitors” can’t stop exhausting themselves in pursuit of titles and material possession, so much so that they end up losing the race. They tire themselves out and don’t learn from previous failures. That’s why New Eden remains and will remain on top, we’ve learned that there’s more. We’ve looked over the wall and seen beyond the garbage of tangible success.
(Crowd boos lightly as Drake King acknowledges them this time.)
Drake King: See, right there, why do you boo? Do you even understand what I’m telling you, or are you all sitting out there to busy stuffing your face with processed foods and plus-sized colas that you also bought for your stupid kids, who will also one day grow up to be the unhealthy and worthless imbeciles that you all became.
(Crowd now rains in the negative reception as Drake raises his eyebrows and still bears an empty expression.)
Drake King: Tell me I’m wrong, tell me that you don’t just sit out there and sit on your couch booing me and spitting on New Eden’s name because you truly dislike us. Actually, you just might because it’s only natural to dislike and hate what you don’t understand. What none of you are capable of understanding. I know you don’t and you hate the fact that we’ve gleaned the light of truth on your favorite elitists, how they’re shallow, nothing beyond surface dwellers and merely representations of the greedy success you all wish to see yourselves attaining someday.
Drake King: You all love to support these elitists with championship applications because you’re just too small minded to know that there’s anything else. Too ignorant to accept the possibility of it, even. You’d let your own delusion blind you in order to live in this world where championships are the end all be all because you’re not prepared for the chance that…you’ve been looking to define yourself with the most meaningless symbols possible.
(The crowd looks around and silently absorbs the words Drake King has offered.)
Drake King: Speaking of, quite literally speaking of using championship titles to define your worth….Jake Smith. Or should I say lack of championship titles. As of late, Jake Smith can’t seem to get his hands on a championship title and maybe that’s why he so incessantly tries to pursue them. He sees them as the one thing that prevents him from being great and perhaps that right there is the prime example of everything New Eden stands against.
Drake King: Jake Smith thinks championship titles define value and that if he won a championship title, his value then translates to being more than what it was before. You measure your worth in the stock EAW sees in you. Nothing more than a literal profit to turn, that’s all you are Jake and let’s be honest, you haven’t turned a profit in years. Haven’t learned anything in those years either because despite all those failures, you still remain in the same position you’ve always been. Crying out for title shots because that’s the only one thing that’ll make you feel like you belong in EAW.
(Crowd can’t decide if they want to boo Drake or boo Jake, so a low level of boos still continues throughout the arena.)
Drake King: Jake even believing he deserves an opportunity at this title essentially means it has no real worth. Someone like Jake Smith being on this title’s level means it has no level because Jake Smith could never lead EAW. This title is supposed to symbolize EAW’s present and future, yet in Jake Smith, we only see the past we’d love to forget. Come on, Jake Smith being at the forefront of EAW? In 2021? Not happening in this day and age.
Drake King: It’s not going to happen so why even afford him the oppor-
(‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti begins to play as the raspy vocals welcome Jake Smith and his dog, Josh, onto the stage. Microphone already in hand, Jake begins to speak.)
Jake Smith: I’ll stop you there, Drake.
(Drake rolls his eyes and sighs into the microphone.)
Jake Smith: I’ll stop you there because it sounded to me like you were about to do…exactly what I said you would. Cower away from the challenge. Run as far away as you POSSIBLY can from Jake Smith even looking in your title’s general direction.
Drake King: Wow, you really are as dumb as I thought. I mean I thought you were an imbecile, but you truly didn’t even hit that standard, that’s crazy. What makes you think you even deserve a title shot? This belt means nothing, though it clearly means everything to you so honestly, what have you done to show yourself you’re ready for what is the ceiling of your career in this title?
Jake Smith: :comeagain: Did you not see my match at Bloodsport? I just beat a former world champion and that happens to be the SECOND former champion I’ve beaten on Free-Per-View in a row. The only challenge that’s fit for Jake Smith is the world title and that’s the only spot I belong in.
Drake King: I heard it all last week and don’t need the displeasure of hearing it again this week, those “former champions” you’re beating are washed oldheads who want to believe that they can still hang with even mediocre talent, which they can’t as is evidence of your win over them. That win over Raven Roberts was the product of Raven’s pride taking over and putting herself in a position she was never going to win. She gifted you one more talking point on your resume, there’s nothing else behind that win.
Jake Smith: I-
Drake King: So really, even if this title or any title were actually a measuring stick of competitive spirit, that would still measure nothing because you’re always going to be the short, little mid-level talent that you’ve always been. So, even if this title acted as what you believed it did, it still wouldn’t prove that you deserve a chance to win it. You have nothing to show other than two wins that even then, show nothing. You bring nothing to the table and haven’t done anything special to even glance at the opportunity of facing me.
Jake Smith: Really? I thought you didn’t care, or is all this New Eden bullshit just that; bullshit. I mean, you come out here every week and drag that title like you don’t give a shit about it, but won’t defend it? You’re looking into the eyes of a new challenger right now, someone who wants to destroy New Eden and prove that he’s the one who’ll have a vice grip over EAW, yet, you don’t want to defend it. You don’t want to defend it because you know that if you actually tried to, you’d be signing up to-
Drake King: Man, SHUT UP!
Jake Smith: NO, YOU SHUT UP!
(Crowd laughs as Jake screams in Drake’s face and Drake looks stunned.)
Jake Smith: You know that if I beat you for that title, your “power” in this company vanishes. Everything New Eden has done will suddenly seem like it’s only part of the past because you’re not going to be doing any convincing without that title. The same title you swear means nothing. It means everything as far as preserving New Eden’s image and you’re worried that Jake Smith, someone everyone tried to write off, will rise up from the ashes everyone placed around my name and take it all away from you. I’m going to do what nobody thought possible and nobody wanted to imagine; win the EAW World Champion and finally run this show. I practically do so already and that’s WITHOUT a title-
Drake King: You do what?? Run what?? You’re not tall enough to ride a roller coaster, let alone run this brand and company. It would crash and burn with Jake Smith on top because the top right now is all you’re capable of reaching, not going further. You only care about your face on the posters and the image of how this glorified paperweight looks around your shoulder. Nothing more than the benefits you’ll get from this position, you don’t care at all about EAW or setting it up for future success.
Jake Smith: Jake Smith on top of EAW = future success. It equals numbers, ratings, vast increase in viewership demographic and lord knows what else. People would pay money to see this face from a TV screen, let alone see Jake Smith holding the EAW World Championship from the nosebleeds, boy, that would be the time of their life. Something they’ll never experience again.
(Jake finally makes his way down the ramp and rolls into the ring, his dog Josh walks up the steps and Drake King scowls at it, disgusted by this overly-sized rodent.)
Jake Smith: So, Drake…if you really don’t care at all about that title, defend against me. Defend against the one member of this roster you know would be more than a challenge, would be a surefire loss. Show yourself you’re fit to even be part of New Eden because if you’re a representation of New Eden…I guess New Eden is just that cowardly. Claiming to have power when really, they’re taking normal success and trying to hold onto it as long as they can, so maybe the shit you say will finally be taken seriously.
Drake King: Do you ever stop? You’re like a tick, you just want to leech off what a title brings you, much like these people, you refuse to see what could be if you consider that these titles don’t matter. See reality when you stop blinding yourself with false notions.
Jake Smith: Like New Eden mattering at all?
(Crowd cheers for Jake Smith, in opposition to Drake King.)
Jake Smith: You people matter even less, go back to being obese 9-5ers with no life worth, fucking retards.
(Crowd quickly drops heavy boos on Jake as he smiles and shrugs.)
(Drake King visibly tries to remain calm and bites his tongue. After a deep breath, he begins to speak.)
Drake King: I don’t know if you’re aware or watch the dang show you’re a part of but…
I.
Have.
A.
Match.
At.
Territorial Invasion.
Already.
Drake King: Not just any match either, the main event, stadium stampede, against Showdown and Dynasty. An extremely important match for EAW and for New Eden, so why in the world would I take another match with you? I don’t doubt I’ll win, I just don’t care or need to face you. Not at all.
Jake Smith: Well luckily, we’ve got Clash of Kingdoms 2 coming up right after Territorial Invasion and like it or not, you’re gonna defend your title. So, face your worst challenge possible head on, don’t make Captain Charisma force you into taking this match. I’m up next for that title and nobody is getting in my way,
Drake King: MAN, JUST STOP! Are you kidding me? Really? You’d like to challenge me at a show that’s run by and producing blood money? A show that embodies the wrong direction of EAW’s move forward? What’s wrong with you, you had a better shot of getting me at Territorial Invasion and even then, the chances were slim indeed. I said it before, you bring nothing to the table, but that incredibly annoying rat you have by your side.
(Jake looks insulted as Drake continues talking.)
Drake King: What you said last week was nothing short of typical and nothing special, every member of this roster is saying they want a shot at this title and that just goes to show that not one of them has the mind to win it because they value it so highly. Touted as if it’s the peak of their career, what a sad and small world you all must live in to think that something like this makes you as a competitor.
Jake Smith: I guess you’re right, shit still couldn’t make your career stand out.
(Drake looks shocked as the crowd laughs.)
Jake Smith: All those accomplishments and you’re still doing all of this to stand out, well I’ve worked too hard to let some weirdo like you get in the way of all the wins I’ve had to attain in order to get here! Every single challenge I’ve faced, the hurdles I’ve jumped, you couldn’t even imagine them and now, you’re the final hurdle until I finally make Voltage…the Jake Smith show. A show touched by a piece of God himself, not a poor imitation of him.
Drake King: You have nothing but childish and straight moronic insults on your side. You have no real “work” to show EAW and that’s why you’re always having to demand these title opportunities that we’re all tired of you getting because it’s clear you need to understand that you’ll never be an elitist of value to this company because all of that potential you claim to have is bundled up in one leather strap with gold plates.
Jake Smith: Pause, first off.
(Drake King looks like he’s seething with rage at the pestilence of Jake Smith.)
Jake Smith: Secondly, if you truly don’t care about that title…you have nothing to lose, right? What does defending against me do against you? A MASSIVE name like Jake Smith to defend and lose your title to? That’s already a pretty good deal and you don’t care about that title, so really, it sounds like a win-win to me.
Drake King: You’re not the cashgoat you think you are, years of failed opportunities and missed prime years don’t equate to you being at your peak, or you being someone that other competitors look for anything against but to use as a doormat. Your name is down there with the Chris Elites of EAW, just ground to wipe our boots on.
Jake Smith: Yet you still won’t take my challenge. The irony in that is wild.
(Josh starts borking at Drake.)
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK!
Drake King: Shut that thing up.
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK!
Jake Smith: Take the challenge and face me at Clash of Kingdoms.
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK!
Drake King: I’m gonna kick your dog, man.
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK!
(Josh continues to bork as Drake grows increasingly frustrated.)
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK!
Jake Smith: You have nothing to lose here if you don’t value that title, defend against me and show the world what New Eden is all abo-
Drake King: ALRIGHT! Alright dude, that’s it. At Clash of Kingdoms 2, Drake King vs. Jake Smith for the EAW World Championship.
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK!
(Crowd cheers as the dog continues to bork and Jake smiles malevolently.)
Drake King: You want one more match that you’re going to lose? One more lost title shot and one final nail in the coffin to bury you in the midcard forever? That’s fine.
James Peters: Wow! Drake accepts the challenge, we’re gonna see Jake Smith vs. Drake King at Clash of Kingdoms, for the EAW World Championship!
(Drake throws the microphone to the canvas as he storms out of the ring. He scowls at Josh as he walks by. He reaches the top of the ramp and looks back at Jake Smith.)
Drake King: ( off-mic ) Be careful what you wish for, Jake.
(Drake is seen saying from the top of the ramp as he walks to the back and Voltage fades to commercial.)
(Promotional ad for Clash of Kingdoms II, where Drake King faces Jake Smith for the EAW Championship.)
(The camera pans to the ring with Bella Braxton ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST HAILING FROM LONDON, ENGLAND! WEIGHING IN AT 123 POUNDS…. “THE VIXEN OF ULTRAVIOLENCE” REBECCA BLACKWELL!!!
(‘Taste (Make it Shake)’ by Aitch starts to play throughout the arena as Rebecca Blackwell comes out with a very determined look on her face. She glances around at the fans before nodding and storming to the ring, taking off her jacket and sliding in, posing in the middle as the crowd cheers, some boo. Rebecca turns and waits while glaring at the entranceway…)
James Peters: Always tough and dangerous, huge match for Rebecca Blackwell here tonight, she wins here, and we are looking at someone who could be in line for a title shot soon enough, maybe a Specialists Championship and it could be against the partner of her opponent tonight if things go her way.
Rich Russillo: That is true, but let us not put the wagon before the horse just yet, Rebecca Blackwell is talented, beautiful but most of all she is determined, but the woman she is facing is angry, focused and ready to place herself back on the map!
Persephone: One is bald, the other has a huge ass, whatever, let’s just get this match going so we can move on with the show.
(Rebecca climbs the second rope and raises her arm as the music fades and it is replaced by ‘Red Criminal’ The Oral Cigarettes, the crowd boos, a few cheer as Hikari Kanno slowly walks out with an extremely determined look on her face after losing her hair back at Bloodsport.)
Bella Braxton: HER OPPONENT! SHE HAILS FROM OKINAWA, JAPAN! WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS…. ONE HALF OF IDOL-GUN…. HIKARI KANNO!!!!!!!
(As she walks down the aisle with pure determination on her face, Blackwell waits as Hikari slides into the ring, standing in the corner, absolutely no emotion in her face, glaring into the eyes of Blackwell.)
Rich Russillo: If looks could kill Rebecca Blackwell would be dead.
James Peters: Hikari Kanno looks like a very focused and absolutely angry woman right now. She was humiliated and now is looking to get some of that respect back here tonight.
Persephone: Until that hair grows back? Nah.
(The referee checks both women before calling for the bell and the start of the match.)
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Hikari quickly attacks Rebecca Blackwell! She is smothered quickly by Hikari with forearms to the back and a few stiff chops before she whips Rebecca into the turnbuckle hitting hard, stumbling forward…)
James Peters: STO BY HIKARI AND SHE IS STARTING THIS MATCH QUICKLY! Blackwell was not expecting the onslaught by Kanno who jumped right off the gate, and we can see just how vicious she is! Blackwell is down and Kanno is kicking her over and over! Finally, the referee intervenes but she pushes him out of the way, kicking Blackwell some more!
Rich Russillo: We all knew that there was going to be a different Kanno, which just didn’t know which one was going to show up! We do now as she is taking quite the beating right now and there is nothing that Blackwell can do to defend herself! Hikari picks up Becca by the hair, hair snap mare and STIFF KICK TO THE BACK! THAT ONE HURT AND WE COULD HEAR IT FROM HERE! Hikari with another as Blackwell screams in pain but Kanno is not finished, picking her up again by the hair, whipping her into the ropes, Kanno with a back body drop, NO! DDT BY BLACKWELL SO EARLY IN THE MATCH AND SHE GOES FOR A COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THR…..
Persephone: Right, Hikari kicks out and the match continues, yay. I was actually hoping that Hikari was not working by the hour, and she would end this quick, though I will give her credit, I would never walk out in public bald, I would at least wear a wig. Anyway, hurry up and end this!
(Rebecca gets back up, trying to recover, she waits until Hikari is back up, running up, hits her with a stiff lariat, Hikari falls, but she gets back up again, Blackwell with a whip into the ropes, Hikari bounces, Back body drop but as Hikari gets up, Blackwell is behind her….)
James Peters: Russian Leg Sweep and suddenly now Blackwell is the one that has taken control of this match! Hikari seems to be in trouble, she slowly gets up and Blackwell from behind, release German Suplex and Hikari almost flew the entire ring! She lands awkward on her neck and the back of her head! Rebecca is not letting up, she knows to be in control, grabbing Kanno, whipping her into the turnbuckle, she charges in, Kanno with an elbow to the kisser of Blackwell!
Rich Russillo: That caught her right in the bridge of her nose, and she is stumbling back, Hikari comes roaring out of the corner, Spinning Heel Kick and she got all that with Blackwell! Hikari back in control, climbing the ropes, she is on the second rope, Becca is up and KNEE TO THE FACE AND CHEST OF BLACKWELL AND THAT MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED HER OUT! Kanno is not going for the cover, sitting up Blackwell, DRAGON SLEEPER! A version of it, locking in and trying to add all the pressure to the neck!
Persephone: Good! Put her to sleep so we can end this and move on to the next match, Orlando is such a fun city, Disney Springs awaits, better than here.
(Hikari leans back with the Dragon Sleeper, she tightens her grip as Rebecca starts to fade some. The referee starts to check on Blackwell, she though is still moving, using her powerful legs to scoot toward the ropes, but it is hard for her to get any leverage, as she starts to scoot forward some, but as she does using strength and energy starts to slowly drain from her, the referee is watching carefully as he goes to raise her arm…)
James Peters: This match might be over quickly, Becca is in a lot of trouble here and she is fading fast, using all strength is too much! Blackwell might be done, and the referee raises her arm…..NO! She is not done yet! Blackwell kicking and screaming, she uses those powerful legs to flip over for the pinfall….
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Hikari releases the hold, Blackwell is back up to her knees and HIKARI WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! BLACKWELL MAYBE OUT AS KANNO PINS HER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ruch Russillo: BLACKWELL GETS THE SHOULDER UP! That was instinct as Hikari hit her with a devastating kick and now she picks up Blackwell by the hair, CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! ALL TO THE NECK AS BLACKWELL STAGGERS, WHIPPING HER TO THE ROPES, BLACKWELL HITS HARD INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! HIKARI CHARGES IN… BOOT BY BLACKWELL! HIKARI STUMBLES BACK… FROM LONDON WITH LOVE! HIKARI CRUMBLES TO THE MAT AND BECCA IS ON HER FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TH….
Persephone: Of course, Hikari kicks out! That spinning backfist was actually pretty vicious, I was impressed by that, but Hikari Kanno was able to kick out because she only kinda sucks and Rebecca Blackwell completely sucks.
(Blackwell turns to the referee who holds up two fingers. She nods and gets back up, grabbing Kanno and sitting her up, running against the ropes with a basement dropkick, she quickly climbs to the top rope…)
James Peters: Blackwell up to the top rope, CANNONBALL BY BLACKWELL RIGHT ON HIKARI AND LISTEN TO THE FANS CHEERING! Blackwell is back in control and Hikari again is in trouble, Hikari slowly gets up, kick to the midsection, snap suplex by Blackwell, but she quickly spins around, hoisting Hikari back up and swinging neckbreaker! Great chain wrestling by Blackwell and she doesn’t go for the cover, instead Hikari will still not stay down, Blackwell grabs her legs spins her over, jumps on her back, RBS ON HIKARI KANNO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND SHE HAD NOWHERE TO GO! KANNO TRYING TO FIGHT IT OFF BUT SHE CAN’T!
Rich Russillo: The Crossface is locked and there is nowhere to go! Blackwell is wrenching back on Kanno! She has her in a really bad position, and if she could get a submission win over Kano, a woman that just competed at Bloodsport for the Universal Women’s Championship, this will definitely elevate her to a prime position as Blackwell is really bringing the fight to her right now!
Persephone: Just tap out Hikari, you already have no hair how much more embarrassing can’t it be? Save face and just like…. Stop this for all of us.
(Hikari screams in pain, she tries to move toward the ropes as Rebecca leans back with more pressure on the crossface, but she continues to make her way toward the ropes, Blackwell though as they get closer to the ring ropes, Rebecca kicks off the ropes and turns over back in the RBS. She continues to wrench at her but Hikari gets a knee up, the referee looks on….)
James Peters: This move is taking its toll and I don’t know how much more can Hikari take! She looks ready to tap! Becca is pulling back even harder but wait! Hikari…. SHE IS BITING THE ARM OF REBECCA AND SHE BREAKS THE HOLD! Hikari with some desperation, she is back up as Blackwell runs against the ropes holding her hand, Hikari is barely on her feet, SUPERKICK BY KANNO! SHE LIFTS BLACKWELL UP INTO THE KANNO SUPER BUSTER! WHAT A GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB AND BLACKWELL IS DOWN! HIKARI IS HURT! SHE CAN’T MAKE THE COVER.
Rich Russillo: Both women are spent, Hikari isa still feeling the effects of that Crossface, but that move at least gave her some time to recover, she is still down, but is slowly getting back up, Blackwell too is recovering, but Hikari is using the ropes!
Persephone: They both need to stay down, period!
(Hikari uses the ropes to get back to her feet, she is up as Blackwell is still on her knees, Hikari with a rush of adrenaline runs up and hooks her…..)
James Peters: BRIGHTSTAR! THE HIGH ANGLE URANAGE SLAM TOOK OUT BLACKWELL AND THAT MIGHT BE IT! HIKARI IS NOW DOWN ON BECCA AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE……..
Persephone: COME ON! HOW DID BLACKWELL GET HER SHOULDER UP!? NOW THIS IS PISSING ME OFF! HURRY UP NOW! IT’S LIKE NEITHER ONE OF THESE TWO WOMEN WANT TO WIN!
Rich Russillo: Hikari can’t believe it. She is staring bullet holes in the referee holding up three fingers, but he shakes his head, holding up only two. Hikari slams the mat and gets back up, she is stalking Becca who is getting up to her feet, Hikari behind, TIGER SUPLEX WITH THE PIN!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…………
James Peters: KICK OUT BY REBECCA BLACKWELL! WHAT DOES HIKARI HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO DEFEAT THIS WOMAN!? Hikari Kanno looks shocked right now, absolutely shocked! She gets back to her feet, picks up Blackwell by the hair, an Irish Whip into the corner, Hikari barrels in, HUGE SPINNING HEEL KICK….. NO BLACKWELL CAUGHT HIKARI IN MIDAIR, TWISTS INTO A POWERBOMB! BLACKWELL DOESN’T MAKE THE COVER! Blackwell is slowly climbing the ropes, she sees that Hikari is down, and Becca might fly!
Persephone: At this point just finish this!
Rich Russillo: She is up on the top rope; BLACKWELL LOOKS READY TO FLY…… JUST A DROP! THAT FROG SPLASH HIT AND WE ARE ABOUT TO HAVE A HUGE UPSET!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE……
Persephone: You have to be kidding me!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI KANNO WITH A SHOULDER UP AND BECCA CAN’T BELIEVE IT! She is in complete shock thinking that Hikari Kanno was done. Blackwell again questions the referee, but he shakes his head again as Rebecca holds her hands to her head, trying to figure out what she needs to do to win this match!
(Blackwell slowly is back to her feet, she looks out to the crowd and gets a great reaction, slowly picking up Hikari Kanno, she signals for the elbow, bouncing off the ropes…..)
James Peters: DAVEY JONES LOCKER! NO! HIKARI KANNO DUCKS, BLACKWELL TURNS INTO SNAP SAITO SUPLEX AND SHE BRIDGES WITH A PIN!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…..
James Peters: ANOTHER KICK OUT BY REBECCA BLACKWELL AND HIKARI KANNO IS INFURIATED!
(The crowd roars and starts to chant….)
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!
Rich Russillo: These two women have been wrestling already for over ten minutes and they have gone hard at each other from the bell. Hikari Kanno cannot believe the fight Blackwell is putting up and at the same time, Blackwell cannot figure out how to defeat Kanno! This match is a lot more competitive than Hikari would have thought! She is back up and Blackwell is trying to get to her feet, she is up to her knees and Hikari runs at her… SHINING WIZARD! NO! MATRIX BY BLACKWELL! HIKARI MISSED!!
Persephone: TURN AROUND!
James Peters: SHE TURNS RIGHT INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! HIKARI KANNO IS DOWN AND THAT MOVE WAS OUT OF DESPERATION AS WELL FROM BLACKWELL! THIS MATCH HAS REALLY SHINED FOR BOTH WOMEN, BUT BLACKWELL QUICKLY PICKS UP KANNO, SHE LIFTS HER UP FOR A SUPLEX…. NO! KANNO WITH A KNEE TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD OF BLACKWELL! SHE DROPS HER AND KANNO LANDS ON HER FEET, THIS TIME KANNO WITH A DDT!
Persephone: That drove Blackwell’s head into the mat, and she looks out! Pin her Kanno! Come on, this has gone on long enough!
Rich Russillo: Hikari planted Blackwell and now she is going to the top rope, maybe she is looking to finish this! Hikari Kanno is up, MOONSAULT ON BLACKWELL! NO! HER KNEES GO UP AND SHE LANDS CHEST FIRST ON THE KNEES! KANNO LOST HER BREATH AND….. BLACKWELL IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK UP, SHE SEES HER STUMBLING FORWARD AND BECCA DRIVER! THAT HAS TO BE IT! THAT HAS TO BE IT! BUT NO! REBECCA IS NOT GOING FOR THE PIN! SHE INSTEAD IS POINTING TO THE ROPES AND POINTING TO HER ELBOW!
(The crowd cheers as Blackwell hurt, slowly climbs up to the top rope, looking down at Hikari Kanno, pointing down to her.)
James Peters: If she hits this, it will be over for Hikari Kanno! BLACKWELL’S END! NO! HIKARI KANNO ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! BLACKWELL HITS HARD ON THE MAT! SHE MISSED! IT WAS FEAST OR FAMINE FOR BLACKWELL BUT KANNO WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! BLACKWELL IS TRYING TO GET BACK UP, HIKARI IS UP TO HER FEET, SHE CHARGES IN, MAFIA KICK! NO BECCA DUCKS, SUPERKICK ON KANNO! NO! SHE DUCKS AND CAUSES BLACKWELL TO SPIN AROUND!
Rich Russillo: KANNO LIFTS HER UP…. ALLELUIA!!!
Persephone: YES!!!!!
Rich Russillo: REBECCA BLACKWELL LANDED AWKWARDLY AND I THINK SHE IS UNCONSCIOUS! HIKARI KANO HOOKS THE LEG AND THIS ONE IS ACADEMIC!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….. HIKARI KANNO!!!!!
(‘Red Criminal’ The Oral Cigarettes starts to play throughout the arena as Hikari throws Rebecca’s leg down slamming it on the mat, she then rolls right to her face and says something before slowly getting back up to her feet and the referee raising her arm up in victory.)
James Peters: Statement made by Hikari Kano against a challenger that brought it but one mistake cost Rebecca Blackwell in the end and the former Unified Tag Team Champion capitalized on it. Take nothing away from Blackwell, she came to fight tonight but Hikari was too much.
Rich Russillo: I don’t think anyone is going to try and humiliate Hikari Kanno anymore! She didn’t just come to wrestle, she came to win, and we have been so impressed with Rebecca who will be a future champion, no doubt but this match belonged to Hikari.
Persephone: I’m just glad this is all over and we can move on with the show. Let’s see, what is next? I don’t even know, someone get me a Caramel Macchiato, this is going to be a very long night.
(Hikari leans against the ropes holding her neck and lower back, almost showing some respect to Rebecca who brought the fight to her as she stirs on the mat slowly but instead Hikari smirks and stands over her raising her arms before the referee helps Blackwell roll out of the ring to allow Hikari room to celebrate.)
(Commercial promoting Jake Paul’s next scheduled fight, where he takes on the legendary Hasbulla.)
(The camera fades to Hikari Kanno walking backstage with a smug look on her face after her victory. She stares everyone who passes her by down just hoping they would try something, until she hears a comforting voice of an angel cascading into her ears)
???: heyyyyyyy nice job out there bestie!! I couldn’t take my eyes off you! You’re just so amazing!
(Miku Sakai walks up to Hikari and they automatically go into secret bff handshake mode leaving onlookers amazed at the intricacies.)
Hikari Kanno: Thanks bestie! Never a question though, it was light work for sure. Voltage just likes having IDOL-GUN on tv, I don’t think they care who it is they throw us out there with. Although, I have to give Rebecca some credit I guess.
Miku Sakai: Ha! No the fuck you don’t! You really beat that bitches ass! What a glorious sight to see. Clearly I’m not surprised that it happened, that twerp didn’t stand a chance. Ugh I wish I could’ve had a front row seat out there, I’m just so busy these days. But, we both knew what the outcome was going to be, you didn’t need the best friend energy on that one.. Although, our bond is so strong, I think you could feel my best friend energy even when I wasn’t standing by ringside.
Hikari Kanno: Obvs, I could feel that best friend energy coursing through my veins! Our best friend energy is the stuff of legend! Anyway yeah, that match was honestly just a fun little work out! I feel as though they put these people in matches with me for the soul purpose of just giving me exercise, not that I need it. Do they think this body gets to look the way it does by just sitting around? Look I know I’m incredible but even the great Hikari Kanno has to do work for this great ass!
Miku Sakai: Dat ass!!! 😍 You love to see it! Anyway, sorry to cut this short, I have this dumb promotional thing they need me for. They want Territorial Invasion to be watched I guess, so they’re parading me around for it and with this whole Lumberjack thing with the simps and the nurses… well, it’s interesting. These leeches will be the death of me I swear. Like I get it, I’m extremely famous, and me being on their little show is a big deal for them, but I’m a human too! I have feelings and stuff, maybe.
Hikari Kanno: *sigh* It’s a curse to be this famous sometimes, they won’t stop until we’re dead I fear. . I’ll see you later though!
(Miku turns to leave but Hikari grabs her arm to stop her)
Hikari Kanno: Actually, could you hold on one second?
Miku Sakai: Uh.. Yes? You trying to cop a feel or something? You were a little off the mark.. See my tits are a few inches to the right.. Kinda hard to miss Hikari what the hell?
Hikari Kanno: Oh will you stop, I could never miss those! I just wanted to ask you a random question. You don’t have to put too much into it but; how do you feel about Rebecca Blackwell, and the match we just had?
(Miku contorts her face a little in a confused manner)
Miku Sakai: I mean the match was a HIkari classic, go in, beat a bitches ass, and leave. You showed why you’re one of the best! I don’t understand why these bitches keep thinking they have a chance against you, clearly it’s in their best interest to not even try! I don’t understand why you’re asking about your matches now, it’s not like you’ve ever had any questions before. You know how good you are, you know what you bring to the table.
Hikari Kanno: And Rebecca?
Miku Sakai: Ugh.. I mean.. I don’t know, she’s like.. Really whatever? She was never going to beat you, or even be competitive in any way. Honestly it was kind of a waste of time for you.
Hikari Kanno: Well.. True, she wasn’t ever going to be competition for me but; how about for other brands?
Miku Sakai: Bih what? What’s this all about? What are you even saying right now.. Did you get into the edibles already? I swear if you peak before me I’m going to be pissed!
Hikari Kanno: OMG I would never! I’m just saying maybe she could be good competition for Team Dynasty.. I was thinking about asking her to be a part of the team. I wouldn’t say she impressed me but she showed a lot of fight out there.
Miku Sakai: Ah, I see where you’re coming from now.. Not sure why you had to speak in codes, could’ve just asked me like a normal human but.. Ummmmm that bitch still fucking sucks, let’s not sugar coat it. She’s a rookie, and looks the part. We have to connect our name to that ho for all eternity if we allow her to be a part of such a pristine name such as IDOL-GUN!
Hikari Kanno: Ok well don’t be over dramatic she isn’t joining IDOL-GUN, like she could never. I’m just talking about this one match, maybe she could hold her own against Dynasty.. They kinda trash. We kinda just need bodies, and someone to not fuck it up for us. I think she’s smart enough to be the good little role player that she would be, and not get in our way. I’m not looking for a star to carry the team here, because that’s not what we need. We’re the stars of the team, and we’re going to show just that. Rebecca would just be a good little piece, you know?
Miku Sakai: True, Dynasty is one of the worst brands in EAW, bottom 2 for sure… And Rebecca would be a good little subservient sheep that we could control to do whatever we want.. Fine, if she can do her part, and help us win.. Then whatever, go recruit her I guess. Now I really gotta go!
Hikari Kanno: Byyeeeee! Love you bitch!
Miku Sakai: Byeeeeeeee! Love you bitch!
(They two hug, and go their separate ways. Hikari turns, and starts walking down the hall to try and find Rebecca. She turns the corner and coincidentally finds her and Mary S Atlas.)
Mary S Atlas: Don’t worry Rebecca, you looked really good out there! Don’t beat yourself up about it. Next time you get the chance, you’ll get the win for sure! I know losing sucks, but you can only go up from here!
Rebecca Blackwell: It’s ok, don’t worry about me, I’m fine. Please don’t worry about me, you need to focus on winning the New Breed Championship match, and getting on the Brand Warfare team.
(Hikari approaches the two of them)
Hikari Kanno: Ladies, how is everyone?
Mary S. Atlas: What the hell do you want?
(Rebecca turns to Hikari and is sarcastic as possible)
Rebecca Blackwell: *sigh* Great, just the person I was hoping I would see after my match!
(Hikari rolls her eyes and ignores what they’re saying)
Hikari Kanno: Look, you fought hard, and even though it wasn’t enough, and you could never be enough to take down someone like me; I think you would be a good asset to the Voltage Divide and Conquer team. You showed fight, and outside of Voltage, I think you could really hold your own against these lesser brands.
(Rebecca sits and thinks for a second)
Rebecca Blackwell: You know… I’m not really sure. I know I said that I want to be a part of IDOL-GUN and that I have a lot of respect for you, but right now, I clearly just need to focus on some other things. I was hoping Voltage would give Mary and I a tag team match together before we have to face Ms. Extreme and Drake King.
(Just hearing Ms. Extreme’s name annoys Hikari, and it’s hard to miss the sour look on her face. Mary frowns and looks at Rebecca.)
Mary S. Atlas: I definitely agree we should have a match before we face Ms. Extreme and Drake, but I’m not about to let you turn down a chance to compete at Clash of Kingdoms, and in a high stakes match no less. Divide and Conquer is a huge opportunity for anyone, and I think you should take it.
(Rebecca shakes her head and once again, Hikari can’t help but roll her eyes. She can’t believe she is really wasting her time right now.)
Hikari Kanno: Listen to your spazzy friend here Rebecca, you probably won’t get another opportunity like this your entire career. Take advantage of the opportunities handed to you, even if you haven’t exactly earned them.
Rebecca Blackwell: I will ignore the slight diss you laced that invitation with, and accept your offer. I promise I will bring everything I can to the table for the team.
Hikari Kanno: Great! I want you to really buckle down though, really make sure you don’t make me regret my decision. I need you to not be a liability, and more an asset. If you can do that for me, do that for us, then I think we will be well on our way to victory, something I’m very accustomed to.
Rebecca Blackwell: Ok, well, you really have nothing to worry about; I’m not going to do anything to mess anything up. You won’t regret putting me on the team.
(Hikari turns to walk away, but Rebecca has one more parting shot)
Rebecca Blackwell: And who knows, maybe I’ll go beyond, and actually carry you all!
(Hikari turns around, and sarcastically replies)
Hikari Kanno: HAHAHAHA! GOOD ONE!
(Hikari rolls her eyes, and walks off. Mary smiles and starts celebrating with Rebecca, and the camera fades to black)
(The camera fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: PLEASE WELCOME… MS… EXTREME!!!
(‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves blasts through the speakers, as Ms. Extreme makes her way out to the stage with the Universal Women’s Championship on her waist to a loud mixed reaction from the crowd. Ms. Extreme gets her Universal Women’s Championship off her waist, as she holds it up in the air. She gets it on her right shoulder, as she starts walking down the ramp, before sitting at the ringside, having a focused, serious expression on her face.)
James Peters: And now here is The Universal Women’s Champion, Ms. Extreme, who is here to watch the match between Ximena Velasquez and Donovan Duke to see what can Ximena Velasquez bring to the table when it’s time for their match at Territorial Invasion.
Persephone: And she’s probably the only one who is here to watch that. Who the fuck would care about watching that anyway? Nobody.
Rich Russillo: Well, I kinda…care.
Persephone: As I said, nobody.
Rich Russillo: 😐
(As Ms. Extreme is sitting at the ringside, ‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church replaces ‘Zombie’ to another loud mixed reaction from the crowd, mostly positive. Donovan Duke comes out with a smirk on his face, looking totally fired up. He poses, looking completely excited for the match he is about to have, before starting to make his way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM STILLWATER, OK… WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS… HE IS MR. 24/7… ‘THE OKLAHOMA GENTLEMAN,’ DONOVAN… DUKE!!!
James Peters: AND NOW HERE COMES DONOVAN DUKE!
Rich Russillo: The man who managed to win the 24/7 Battle Royal at Pain For Pride, and totally succeeded in making a name for himself ever since this season started. He managed to defeat Candice Blair a few weeks ago, defeat Shane Gates and Ryan Wilson alongside Danny Tanner, retain his 24/7 Contract at Bloodsport in the first ever “McAllister Mahyem” match, and most recently, defeat a solid Alex Myers last week. And tonight, he has the chance to keep his momentum going if he could beat-
Persephone: IF HE COULD END THIS MATCH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE :blessed:!!!!
James Peters: :comeagain:
Rich Russillo: :wow:
(‘Recreant’ by Chelsea Grin replaces ‘The Outsiders’ erasing any positive reaction from the arena. Ximena Velasquez, with her own partner, Sierra walking behind her, makes her way to the stage to the extremely loud boos from the crowd. Ximena stares down Ms. Extreme, who is sitting at the ringside staring her down as well, with a serious expression on her face. She nods, before making her way down to the ring, as Sierra follows her.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT… ACCOMPANIED BY SIERRA… FROM EL PASO, TEXAS… WEIGHING IN AT 180 POUNDS… ‘LA DIOSA,’ XIMENA… VELASQUEZ!!!
James Peters: And now the Number One Contender for the Universal Women’s Championship, Ximena Velasquez, has arrived on Voltage.
Rich Russillo: And clearly as you can see it on her face, she has arrived to make an impact. At Pain For Pride, Ximena managed to be the LAST elimination in the 24/7 Battle Royal, and had four eliminations as well. At Operation: Doomsday, she managed to defeat 6 other Elitists to win a unique opportunity, which came out to be a shot at The Universal Women’s Championship at Territorial Invasion. And now, Ximena Velasquez has the chance to head to Territorial Invasion with all the momentum on her side IF she could beat Donovan Duke, who Ms. Extreme choosed to face Ximena Velasquez tonight.
(As Sierra stands at the opposite part of the ringside, Ximena does not get inside the ring, as she walks up to the Universal Women’s Champion, staring her down. A huge smirk grows on the face of Ms. Extreme, who nods keeping that smirk. Ximena Velasquez turns back, as she gets in the ring, standing in front of her corner.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, this one is now officially underwa- OH, AND XIMENA VELASQUEZ WASTES LITERALLY NO TIME, TAKING DOWN DONOVAN DUKE WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE ONCE THE BELL RANG! Donovan gets right back up to his feet ONLY FOR XIMENA TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! Donovan Duke, using the ropes this time, gets right back up to his feet once again – BEFORE XIMENA VELASQUEZ TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A THIRD CLOTHESLINE! WHAT A START BY XIMENA!
Rich Russillo: And she picks Donovan Duke right back up to his feet- BUT, DONOVAN ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! THE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX DRIVES XIMENA VELASQUEZ’s BACK ALL THE WAY TO THE MAT! INTO A COVER AT THE SAME Position! THE COVER!
Referee: OOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: AND XIMENA VELASQUEZ WITH A POWERFUL KICK OUT! Donovan immediately gets off Ximena, as he starts striking her with the stomps!! Donovan Duke stomps the hell out of Ximena Velasqez!!! And he keeps doing it, before finally, stopping! Ximena looks a bit hurt, as she is downed in the middle of the ring, while Donovan is staring her down with a serious, focused expression on his face!
Persephone: WHY DOES HE ALWAYS GO FOR COVERS THAT EARLY, WHILE HE *KNOWS* THAT IT WON’T WORK?
Rich Russillo: Well, because-
Persephone: I didn’t ask you.
Rich Russillo: But, you did-
Persephone: I didn’t.
Rich Russillo: :mjcry:
James Peters: BEFORE NAILING HER WITH THE POINTED ELBOW DROP! DONOVAN DUKE DROPS HIS ELBOW RIGHT ON THE CHEST OF XIMENA VELASQEZ! Donovan then gets on top of her, AS HE STARTS NAILING HER JAW WITH THE STRAIGHT PUNCHES! ONE PUNCH AFTER THE OTHER, AND IT’S ALL CONNECTING WITH THE JAW OF XIMENA VELASQEZ!! DONOVAN IS *NOT* EVEN WILLING TO STOP, AS HE KEEPS IT GOING – FORCING THE REFEREE TO START HIS COUNT!
Persephone: YES! KILL HER! END THIS SHIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Referee: ONE!
(PUNCH!)
Referee: TWO!
(PUNCH)
Referee: THREE!
(PUNCH!)
Referee: FOUR!
(PUNCH!)
Referee: FI-
Rich Russillo: And Donovan Duke FINALLY gets off the body of Ximena Velasquez RIGHT before the ref could end it in disqualification. He rolls out of the ring onto the apron, as he starts making his way up to the top turnbuckle, which he reaches. He dives high in the air, BEFORE NAILING HER WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS! THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO XIMENA VELASQUEZ-
Persephone: Oh, is that guy even capable of doing something like that?
James Peters: XIMENA GETS HER KNEES UP! Donovan CRASHES into those knees as he starts rolling around, screaming in literal pain! That looks totally painful! Ximena Velasquez gets right back up to her feet, as a huge smirk appears on her face. She grabs Donovan Duke, who is down, before picking him right back up to his feet, AND WITH A PUMPHANDLE SLAM! THE PUMPHANDLE SLAM SENDS DONOVAN DUKE CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! THE PUMPHANDLE SLAM TAKES DOWN DONOVAN DUKE, AS XIMENA FALLS ONTO THE COVER! THE COVER ON DONOVAN!
Referee: OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWW-
Persephone: Shit.
Rich Russillo: And Donovan Duke powers out! The angry, disappointed expression is clear on the face of the Universal Women’s Championship’s Number One Contender, while Sierra hits the apron on the ringside, cheering on her partner. Ms. Extreme, on the other hand, is still sitting there, watching the match of her opponent at Territorial Invasion, looking completely focused just like she was since the beginning of the match. Ximena Velasquez is grabbing Donovan Duke, who is, apparently, hurt, BEFORE POWERFULLY THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!! DONOVAN HITS THE TURNBUCKLE HARD BEFORE FALLING BACK INSIDE THE RING!
James Peters: And Ximena Velasquez is just not done yet, as she picks Donovan back up to his feet, AND XIMENA WITH A POWERFUL CHEST THAT TAKES DOWN DONOVAN DUKE ALL THE WAY TO THE MAT! What a move by Ximena Velasquez that nailed Mr. 24/7! And Ximena Velasquez with her foot over Donovan! Is that a pin? :wow: What a cocky move by Ximena Velasquez!
Referee: OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO-
Rich Russillo: BUT, DONOVAN DUKE ALL OF A SUDDEN TURNS THE TABLES! DONOVAN CHANGES ALL OF IT! DONOVAN ALL OF A SUDDEN USES ALL OF XIMENA’S MOMENTUM AGAINST HER, AS HE GRABS HER LEG, BREAKING THE PIN, AND IMMEDIATELY GETTING RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, FLIPPING HER OVER AND TAKING HER DOWN, TURNING IT INTO AN ANKLE LOCK!!! THE ANKLE LOCK TO XIMENA VELASQUEZ IS LOCKED IN!! NO WAY, LOOKS LIKE XIMENA IS GOING TO TAP! DONOVAN HAS IT LOCKED IN AND HE IS NOT WILLING TO LET IT GO UNLESS IT’S AFTER HE PICKS UP THE VICTORY!!!
James Peters: AND IT LOOKS LIKE XIMENA IS NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP AT ALL AS WELL, AS SHE STARTS CRAWLING HER WAY TO THE BOTTOM ROPE! XIMENA VELASQUEZ IS SCRATCHING AND CLAWING, WHILE DONOVAN DUKE IS USING ALL OF HIS STRENGTH TO KEEP IT LOCKED IN – TO SUBMIT ‘LA DIOSA’ FOR THE WIN! XIMENA VELASQUEZ STILL WON’T GIVE UP, THOUGH, AS SHE FINALLY GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE! DONOVAN IS NOW FORCED TO LET GO OF THIS ANKLE LOCK!!
Persephone: Why wouldn’t she just tap out :noah:!!!
Rich Russillo: LOOKS LIKE SHE WILL!!! IT LOOKS LIKE XIMENA VELASQUEZ NOW WILL, INDEED, TAP OUT!!! DONOVAN DUKE ROLLS HER INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, KEEPING THE ANKLE LOCK APPLIED… BUT EVEN MORE HARD!!! THE ANKLE LOCK BY DONOVAN DUKE IS STILL LOCKED IN, BUT EVEN HARDER!! XIMENA HAS NO CHOICE, BUT TO TAP OUT!! XIMENA IS GOING TO TAP!!! XIMENA RAISES HER HAND, TOTALLY HURT, AND–
Sierra: (off-mic) COME ON, XIMENA!
James Peters: AND CRAWLS, USING LITERALLY ALL OF HER STRENGTH ONCE AGAIN, KEEPING TO PUNCH DOWN THE MAT IN ORDER TO GIVE HERSELF THE NEEDED ENERGY! SIERRA IS HERE AT THE RINGSIDE, CHEERING HER UP, AND TELLING HER TO STAY IN THIS ONE! DONOVAN DUKE IS STILL GIVING IT HIS EVERYTHING TO KEEP IT LOCKED IN AND SUBMIT ‘LA DIOSA,’ BUT SHE IS JUST NOT GIVING UP!!! XIMENA DID IT!! SHE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!! DONOVAN, ONCE AGAIN, IS FORCED TO LET IT GO!! HE TRIES TO ROLL HER BACK INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING ONCE AGAIN, BUT XIMENA HANGS ON THE BOTTOM ROPE, NOT ALLOWING HIM TO DO THAT!!! DONOVAN LETS GO, LOOKING TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED AT WHAT JUST HAPPENED, WHILE XIMENA VELASQUEZ IS DOWN, HOLDING HER ANKLE IN CLEAR PAIN!!!
Persephone: And… this match is still going :mjcry:.
Rich Russillo: Before Donovan Duke can even reach her, Ximena Velasquez rolls out of the ring, leaning toward the barricade to catch her breath. But, look, it’s Ms. Extreme, who gets up from where she was sitting, only to get in the face of her Territorial Invasion challenger! We can stare down between Ximena Velasquez and Ms. Extreme at the ringside! Ximena Velasquez is facing off with Ms. Extreme, looking completely focused, BUT DONOVAN FROM BEHIND WITH THE LARIAT!! THE LARIAT TAKES DOWN XIMENA VELASQUEZ!! Donovan grabs ‘La Diosa,’ picking her right back up to her feet, before throwing her back inside the ring. Sierra, on the other hand, is punching the barricade in anger, reacting to the distraction by Ms. Extreme and what it led to. Donovan Duke rolls back inside the ring, and lays on Ximena Velasquez for the cover!
Referee: OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO-
James Peters: And Ximena Velasquez with another kick out!!! She gets the shoulder up, as Donovan Duke does not look happy with what just happened. He picks her right back up to her feet- BUT XIMENA WITH A PUNCH TO HIS RIBS! AND ANOTHER PUNCH TO HIS RIBS! AND SHE DOES IT AGAIN! AND ONCE AGAIN NAILING THE RIBS OF DONOVAN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! DONOVAN IS IN HORRIBLE PAIN AT THE MOMENT, WHICH ALLOWS XIMENA VELASQUEZ TO TAKE OFF THE ADVANTAGES AND DRIVES HIS HEAD TO THE MAT! XIMENA VELASQUEZ SLAMS DONOVAN DUKE’S HEAD WITH A DDT! THE DDT TAKES DOWN DONOVAN DUKE! XIMENA VELASQUEZ TURNS THE TABLES AND GETS HERSELF BACK IN THIS MATCH!
Rich Russillo: Ximena Velasquez then leans on the corner for a few seconds to take her breath, before running at Donovan Duke, who just barely got right back up to his feet with a big boot! The running big boot takes down Donovan Duke down to the floor, AS XIMENA VELASQUEZ THEN STARES DOWN DONOVAN DUKE, WHO IS DOWN, BEFORE NAILING HIS CHEST WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!!! THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP NAILS DONOVAN DUKE!!! THOUGH, SHE IS STILL NOT WILLING TO GO FOR THE COVER YET!
James Peters: Instead, she rolls onto the apron, starting to make her way up to the top turnbuckle, which she reaches, BEFORE DIVING HER WAY UP, THEN CONNECTING WITH THE CHEST OF DONOVAN DUKE WITH A DIVING ELBOW DROP!!! THE DIVING ELBOW DROP NAILS DONOVAN DUKE WHO IS COUGHING, LOOKING COMPLETELY HURT AT THE MOMENT! XIMENA INTO THE COVER!
Referee: OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN! DONOVAN DUKE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP! THIS MATCH IS STILL GOING, WHICH IS WHAT XIMENA VELASQUEZ, APPARENTLY, IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ SHOUTS IN COMPLETE ANGER, AS SHE STOMPS THE MAT AS WELL! XIMENA PICKS DONOVAN BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AS SHE NAILS HIM WITH THE RIGHT HAND! AND ANOTHER RIGHT HAND TO THE JAW! AND WITH ANOTHER STRAIGHT PUNCH TO THE JAW OF ‘THE OKLAHOMA GENTLEMAN’ AGAIN! OH, AND DONOVAN WITH A PUNCH OF HIS OWN! AND NOW WE CAN SEE BOTH INDIVIDUALS TRADING PUNCHES! DONOVAN! XIMENA! DONOVAN! XIMENA! DONOVAN! XIMENA! DONOVAN! XIMENA! DONOVAN! XIMENA! DONOVAN! XIMENA! DONOVAN! XIMENA! DONOVAN! DONOVAN! XIMENA! XIMENA! XIMENA-
James Peters: BUT, NO! DONOVAN DUKE MANAGES TO DUCK THE LAST ONE, AS HE GOES BEHIND XIMENA VELASQUEZ! MR. 24/7 APPLIES A WAIST LOCK, AS HE LIFTS XIMENA VELASQUEZ UP DURING IT, BEFORE DROPPING THE BACK OF HER HEAD TO THE MAT! DONOVAN WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX! THE GERMAN SUPLEX CONNECTS AND TAKES DOWN XIMENA VELASQUEZ! BUT, DONOVAN DUKE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DONE AT THIS POINT, AS HE ROLLS THROUGH, FLIPPING BACKWARDS, AND KEEPING THE WAIST LOCK APPLIED AS WELL! HE LIFTS XIMENA VELASQUEZ UP ONCE AGAIN IN THE SAME POSITION BEFORE NAILING HER WITH ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE DROPS XIMENA VELASQUEZ’S BACK OF THE HEAD DOWN ON THE MAT QUITE HARD ONCE AGAIN! HOWEVER, DONOVAN DOES NOT EVEN SEEM TO BE DONE AT THIS POINT ALREADY, AS HE ROLLS THROUGH, FLIPPING BACKWARDS ONCE AGAIN, AS HE KEEPS THE WAIST LOCK STILL APPLIED, BEFORE LIFTING XIMENA VELASQUEZ UP ONCE AGAIN, AND DROPPING THE BACK OF HER HEAD ON THE DAMN MAT ONCE AGAIN! A THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX! THREE GERMAN SUPLEXES IN A ROW! WHAT A MOVE BY DONOVAN DUKE! WHAT A COMBO BY DONOVAN DUKE! HE KEEPS THE WAIST LOCK APPLIED, BUT FOR THE COVER! THE COVER! THE COVER ON XIMENA VELASQUEZ! THIS MIGHT BE IT!
Referee: OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! TTTTTTTHHHHHHHH-
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT!!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ MANAGES TO GET HER SHOULDER UP! DONOVAN LOOKS ANGRY, AND SHOCKED, TOO! Though, he wastes no time, picking her back up to her feet, BUT XIMENA WITH THE KNEE TO THE GUT OF DONOVAN, WHICH FORCES HIM TO BACK UP! AND WITH THE UPPERCUT! THE UPPERCUT TAKES DOWN DONOVAN DUKE! Ximena takes the advantage, as it gives her the time to start climbing her way up to the turnbuckle, which she does. She charges, waiting for Donovan to get back up to his feet, which he finally does. Ximena wastes no time, AS SHE DIVES HER WAY UP IN THE AIR, AND CONNECTS WITH A DIVING DROPKICK! THE TOP ROPE DROPKICK SIGNATURE CONNECTS AND TAKES DOWN DONOVAN DUKE! DONOVAN DUKE IS DOWN! XIMENA INTO THE COVER!
Referee: OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! TTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
James Peters: AND DONOVAN DUKE KICKS OUT!!! HE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!! HE JUST KEPT THIS MATCH GOING!!! HE SAVED HIMSELF AND GOT HIS SHOULDER UP!!! XIMENA CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! DONOVAN DUKE IS STILL NOT WILLING TO BE KEPT AWAY!
Rich Russillo: However, she still tries to find a way to leave Voltage and head to Territorial Invasion as the winner, as she picks Donovan Duke right back up to his feet, AND WITH THE BEARHUG TO DONOVAN- BUT, NO! DONOVAN DUKE WITH A HARD KNEE TO THE GUT OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ, WHICH FORCES HER TO CANCEL THE MOVE SHE WAS GOING FOR… AND DONOVAN WITH THE ‘DEALER’S CHOICE!!!!!!!!’ THE SPINNING BACK FIST CONNECTS AND TAKES DOWN ‘LA DIOSA!!!!!’ THE SPINNING BACK FIST NAILS XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!! DONOVAN INTO THE COVER!! THE COVER ON XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!
Referee: OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEE-
James Peters: AND, XIMENA WITH THE SHOULDER UP! XIMENA JUST KICKED OUT!! MS. EXTREME IS WATCHING AT THE RINGSIDE AS WE CAN SEE A SMIRK ON THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION’S FACE, WHILE ALL WE CAN SEE ON THE FACE OF MR. 24/7 IS A SHOCKED EXPRESSION!!! WHAT AN EFFORT BOTH INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN GIVING! DONOVAN WASTES NO TIME THOUGH, AS HE PICKS XIMENA VELASQUEZ RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND WITH THE ‘ROYAL FLUSH!!’ THE WIDOW’S PEAK TO XIMENA VELASQUEZ CONNECT-
Rich Russillo: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! XIMENA SLIPS OUT OF IT, AND WITH THE ‘PA’ LA RAZA’ WESTERN LARIAT TO DONOVAN-
James Peters: BUT, NO!!! DONOVAN DUCKS!! HE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDERNEATH, AND WITH THE ‘BANKRUPT!!!!!’ THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE IS LOCKED IN!!! THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE IS APPLIED, CHOKING THE FUCK OUT OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ, WHO STILL ISN’T WILLING TO TAP OUT! HOWEVER, DONOVAN IS NOT WILLING TO LET IT GO, TOO, BUT IT’S STILL NOT ENOUGH, AS ‘LA DIOSA’ **POWERFULLY** GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!!!
Persephone: NO, PLEASE! HOPEFULLY IT’S FUCKING OVER THIS TIME!!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE-
Rich Russillo: AND MS. EXTREME, FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, KICKS THE HAND OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ, GETTING IT OFF THE BOTTOM ROPE! BUT, HEY! THE REF SEES IT! THE REF LOOKS AT MS. EXTREME, AS HE STARTS SHOUTING TO STOP WHAT HAPPENED!
Referee: (off-mic) WHAT ARE YOU DOING, CAMILLE? LET GO, DONOVAN!
Ms. Extreme: (off-mic) 🤷♀️
Persephone: :mjcry: :mjcry: :mjcry:
James Peters: Donovan Duke lets go off the submission, dropping Ximena Velasquez on the mat- BUT, HEY, LOOK, IT’S SIERRA! SIERRA JUMPS OVER THE STEEL STEPS AND TACKLES MS. EXTREME! MS. EXTREME WITH THE PUNCHES TO THE HEAD OF THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!! BUT, MS. EXTREME THROWS HER OFF!! SHE THROWS SIERRA OFF, AS SHE THROWS HER INTO THE BARRICADE- BUT, SIERRA COUNTERS, THROWING MS. EXTREME HERSELF INTO THE BARRICADE!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke, looking kinda distracted, was watching all of this, WHICH GAVE XIMENA VELASQUEZ ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER! OH, NO! LOOK BEHIND YOU, DONOVAN! LOOK BEHIND YOU! DONOVAN TURNS BACK, ONLY FOR XIMENA VELASQUEZ TO NAIL HIM WITH THE SPEAR!!!!!! THE SPEAR TAKES DOWN DONOVAN DUKE ALL THE WAY TO THE MAT!!! DONOVAN IS HELPLESS, OH MY GOD!!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ AIN’T DONE HERE, THOUGH, AS SHE PICKS DONOVAN RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH THE XV!!!!!!!
James Peters: THE ONE ARM POWERBOMB CONNECTS AND KNOCKS DONOVAN DUKE THE FUCK OUT!!! DONOVAN DUKE IS KNOCKED OUT!!! AND AT THE SAME TIME, IT’S SIERRA AT THE RINGSIDE WHO THROWS MS. EXTREME INTO THE STEEL STEPS, DEMOLISHING THE BACK OF HER HEAD!!! MS. EXTREME IS LAYING THERE, OUT COLD!!! DONOVAN IS LAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING KNOCKED OUT!!!! XIMENA HOOKS BOTH LEGS!! THE COVER ON DONOVAN!!!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Recreant’ by Chelsea Grin blasts through the speakers once again, as Ximena Velasquez rolls off Donovan Duke. You can see a huge smirk on the face of Ximena’s partner, Sierra. The referee raises her hand in victory, acknowledging her as the winner. Sierra rolls inside the ring, hugging Ximena, before both partners start celebrating the victory.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….’LA DIOSA’…..XIIIIMEEEENAAAAA…VEEEELAAAAASQEEEEZZZZZ!!!!!
James Peters: What a win Ximena Velasquez could pick up tonight on Voltage. Ms. Extreme is out cold too thanks to Sierra! She really doesn’t look good.
Persephone: At least it’s over already :blessed:!!
James Peters: That was definitely a great match though, but what an ending!
Rich Russillo: Maybe, if that distraction between Sierra and Ms. Extreme didn’t actually distract Donovan, we could have had another winner here tonight. However, a win is a win and a loss is a loss, and actually, it is what it is. Ximena Velasquez makes sure to head into Territorial Invasion with some momentum on her side. Congratulations to Ximena Velasquez.
(Sierra and Ximena Velasquez are seen, after celebrating Ximena’s victory, standing tall in the middle of the ring. Donovan Duke and Ms. Extreme are both laying on the ground, unconscious. From there, Voltage fades to black.)
(Commercial for the Suicide Squad, in theaters. Watch it, it’s very good.)
( Voltage returns from the commercial break and cuts backstage. Two-thirds of New Eden, the EAW World Champion, Drake King, and the Cash in the Vault holder, Myles, are seen standing around. Myles’ match with Minerva against Chris Elite and Justin Windgate is coming up next, but the National Elite Champion is nowhere to be seen. The champion is pacing, having had a confrontation with Jake Smith earlier in the night that resulted in Drake reluctantly agreeing to put the title on the line against Jake at Clash of Kingdoms: Shores of Gold. Drake wasn’t really that happy about that, but at least he’s confident he will win that match. That aside, there is clearly something troubling ‘The Messiah’. Myles, who is showing little emotion and calmly tightening his wrist tape, raises an eyebrow as Drake finally comes to a stop in front of him. )
Myles: What gives?
Drake King: Something seems off.
( At that, Drake has Myles’ full attention. ‘The Warlord’ looks around, having been trained to always be on guard and prepared for battle. )
Drake King: Where is Minerva?
( Confident that no one is lurking, Myles looks at his brother-in-arms. He can already anticipate that Drake isn’t going to like the answer to that question. )
Myles: She went to check on Camille.
( Drake scowls. )
Drake King: Why? What purpose does that serve when she should be here getting ready for the match?
( Truth be told, Myles wasn’t necessarily an advocate for his girlfriend’s new found friendship or whatever it was with the reigning Universal Women’s Champion, but he didn’t oppose it either and let Minerva live her life. Minerva having dinner with Ms. Extreme had nothing to do with harming New Eden, and that’s all he really cared about at the end of the day. )
Myles: I guess it annoyed her to see Sierra throw Camille into the stairs. After all, Sierra is the one who had Minerva’s name in her mouth.
Drake King: I addressed that.
Myles: Did you?
Drake King: :comeagain:
Myles: I’m just saying that all of us see the way you look at Camille.
Drake King: And just how do I look at her Myles? Explain that to me because I’m not following.
Myles: :mjgrin: Like you want to f-
( Myles stops himself as Drake’s eyes widen in shock. )
Myles: Like you want to live in sin with her.
Drake King: EXCUSE ME?!?!?!?! I absolutely do not look at that insufferable woman like that and shame on you for even remotely thinking such an ugly thing.
Myles: Man, lighten up. Don’t work yourself into a shoot.
Drake King: What??
Myles: Nevermind.
Drake King: I’m glad you feel the need to address this weird fascination the Internet has with ‘Dramille’, as stupid as that name is, at this particular time. We have a lot going on right now, Myles, and I’m telling you, something doesn’t feel right. I’m not really sure why Team Showdown thought axing War Games and turning the match into Stadium Stampede was a good idea, but here we are. I’m half expecting someone to show up and do something stupid tonight. We are two weeks away from Territorial Invasion and something is bound to happen sooner rather than later. With people like Jake Smith thinking they have a claim to championship matches, I know for a fact we are entering into a dark time. Territorial Invasion can’t come soon enough because we need to grab a hold of this brand and force it to bend to our will. I’m tired of the ignorance running rampant, Myles, and I am certainly sick of looking over my shoulder and wondering what stupidity we will have to deal with next.
Myles: I feel you on that, brother, but at this point, I’ve personally gotten used to always being on guard. For months, anyone but New Eden has been the popular trending topic, and you know, as well as I do that, everyone wants to see us fall apart. We are on the precipice of finally having what we want, and now is not the time to fall apart. I agree with you that shit is going to pop off soon, but we will handle it in stride like we always do. The thing that matters the most to me is that New Eden gets the last laugh. Minerva said it best this week. At Shock Value, all three of us were left for dead, broken and defeated, and then look what happened. At Grand Rampage, it was the three of us that stood tall at the end of the night. The three of us cleaned house at Pain for Pride and gave everyone a final image that they would never forget. So if Dynasty or Showdown want to fire the first shot, then so be it.
( Myles’ confidence didn’t help reassure Drake at all. )
Drake King: This goes beyond Territorial Invasion. I don’t care about Showdown or Dynasty.
Myles: Then why are you on the verge of a breakdown?
Drake King: You don’t find it highly suspicious that someone like Cleo dragged herself out of her crypt just to face Minerva again? Why would Cleo do that when she clearly has nothing to gain but a pointless title she doesn’t even need?
( Myles didn’t have a reply to that. He had wondered that himself, but he also knew that Minerva was perfectly capable of handling the legendary Hall of Famer and sending her back to into retirement. )
Drake King: And don’t you think it’s awfully suspicious that you are on the Clash of Kingdoms poster? Why is your image being used to market an event that you aren’t even a part of? I would love to have Captain Charisma explain to me why he felt that was a good decision, especially when you weren’t even consulted about it. It’s as bad as when I was put on the Pain for Pride poster for no reason. At the time, I hadn’t been forced into agreeing to have a match. I wasn’t going to compete in the main event. It was my right as the Grand Rampage winner to decide which main event to be in and Voltage didn’t deserve to have that main event. I don’t want to work myself up because that worked out for us, but it just doesn’t settle well with me that EAW is using you to promote this event. There obviously has to be something more to it.
( Myles is about to reply when Minerva comes up behind him and wraps her arms around his waist. A hint of a smile touches Myles’ face as his girlfriend gets close to him and nips the side of his neck. Drake is visibly uncomfortable by this display of affection and he shuts his eyes for a moment, hoping that the couple are done. Myles and Minerva smirk at one another and Minerva moves away, because both of them do respect Drake. )
Minerva: What are you two talking about?
( Drake opens his eyes and heaves a sigh of relief that the two are standing side by side and being respectful. )
Myles: Drake has a feeling something is wrong.
( Minerva frowns. Nothing shocks her these days, so it wouldn’t be surprising if something did go wrong tonight. )
Minerva: I think it’s a real possibility but it’s whatever to me. We’ve dealt with a lot worse together as a team and as individuals, and right now, we are on the cusp of having everything we have ever wanted.
Drake King: Which is why it almost seems too good to be true.
???: Excuse me, Myles?
( The trio turn to see Captain Charisma’s assistant, a pretty blonde called Stacy, walk into the scene. Stacy is holding a beautiful gold envelope that has Myles’ name written across the front of it in calligraphy. The seal that holds the envelope together is EAW’s official seal, and New Eden are immediately suspicious. )
Myles: Yes?
( Stacy holds out the envelope, which Myles hesitates in taking. )
Stacy: This was dropped off a few minutes ago and I was told to bring it straight to you.
( Myles stares at Stacy, who bites down on her bottom lip, clearly a bit nervous over having to deliver this. Drake stares at the envelope like it is covered in COVID, and he looks at Stacy. )
Drake King: Who gave you this?
( Stacy just shrugs and thrusts the envelope into Myles’ hands. With it out of her own, Stacy turns on her heels and scurries off, not wanting anything to do with New Eden. Minerva plunks the envelope from Myles’ hands and rips it open. Inside is a piece of cream colored cardstock, trimmed with gold, and is obviously an invitation of some sorts. )
Minerva: Dearest Myles. Elite Answers Wrestling formally requests your presence at the upcoming supershow free-per-view, Clash of Kingdoms 2: Shores of Gold, on September 25th, 2021. We look forward to seeing you at Jabar Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait City. Please bring your wrestling attire. Details to follow soon.
( Minerva looks up at Myles. )
Minerva: What the fuck?
( Myles looks over at Drake, whose face is twisted into an annoyed look. )
Myles: I guess that answers your question as to why I was on the poster…
Drake King: I don’t like this. I don’t freaking like this at all.
( And neither did Myles or Minerva. They were already prepared for the worst to happen tonight, but this was certainly unexpected. Before the conversation can continue, a stagehand comes up to them and informs Myles and Minerva that they need to head to the ring. Without another word, Minerva tosses the invitation on the floor and takes Myles’ hand, and they leave. Drake lingers and he picks up the invitation. He reads it again and shakes his head in disgust before pocketing the invitation and disappearing from the scene. )
(Voltage fades back into the packed Amway Center as Bella Braxton is seen standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, beginning to speak.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following… is a TAG TEAM MATCH!!! And it is a contest scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘My Brother (the Dragonslayer)’ by Shiro SAGISU hits to the absolutely thunderous boos from the crowd in Orlando tonight. It isn’t long after that a spotlight shines down on both Myles and Minerva making their way out from the backstage area and to the stage. Minerva is seen dragging the National Elite Championship behind her carelessly, while Myles has the Cash in The Vault briefcase slung behind him. Both of them ignore the negative reaction from the crowd, looking towards one another with straight expressions on their faces. It isn’t long before both of them follow side-by-side down the ramp, headed to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… at a combined weight of 337 pounds… the team of MR. CASH IN THE VAULT, MYLES!!!!!!!!!! AND THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION MINERVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEW EDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well last week, New Eden wasn’t short on words post-Bloodsport. There’s a lot of problems at band in their eyes, especially when it comes to people like Jake Smith and Cleopatra. Just like the scenes that we saw at Bloodsport when it came to Drake King and Minerva, they stated that challenging New Eden was never the right move, and I’ll admit, I think they’ve proven that since their formation.
James Peters: Well what they said last week entails what they think about the situation that they find themselves in, quit while you’re ahead. They don’t think of people like Jake or Cleo as threats and are rather focusing their attention on Territorial Invasion, and the officially confirmed Stadium Stampede match at Territorial Invasion. One way or another, they’re making sure change happens, and if that means technically fighting for the brand that they’re against? Then by all means. But tonight, they’re up against some tough competition who have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to the three of them.
Persephone: You know why people struggle defeating New Eden? Well it’s simple, quick facts with Persephone. On a roster with very untalented “Elitists,” let me broaden the spectrum, in a company with very untalented “Elitists.” Sometimes some are just more untalented than the other talentless fools in this company. You get me? Which is why there is only one person that can take out New Eden. Rex McAllister 😍😍😍.
(Myles and Minerva stop at the bottom of the ramp, taking a moment to scan around the dimmed crowd who, as per, continue to shower the New Eden members in negativity. Myles makes his way around the ring, while Minerva mirrors him on the opposite side. Minerva slides into the ring while Myles jumps onto the apron and enters into the ring himself, both of them meeting one another at the center of the ring. Myles lowers his head with his arms crossed, while Minerva drops down to her knees with an orange rose clutched between her teeth. Both of them once again look to one another with serious expressions on their faces before jumping up to their feet and making their way towards their corner. Both of them get ready for their match as ‘My Brother (the Dragonslayer)’ fades out.)
(‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke then blasts through the speakers to the loud cheers from the arena in response, hyped up to see Chris Elite makes his way out to the stage. He has a smile on his face while he circles around the stage, looking out to the crowd who show their support for the Hall of Famer. He nods his head in rhythm to his theme music before he finds himself looking directly towards the ring. The confident, cheerful expression turns more cold and serious while he makes eye contact with his opponents in the ring. It isn’t long before he then begins to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents, first… from Brooklyn, New York… weighing in at 210 pounds… GAWD GIVEN GREATNESS… CHRIS ELITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Last week Chris Elite was back in action after a brutal match at Bloodsport, advancing in the Tag Team Tournament with his partner Jamie O’Hara against the team of Lucas Johnson and Shane Gates. And I’ll admit, I couldn’t see a better way to rebound from what should’ve been a heartbreaking National Elite Championship loss to winning the Unified Tag Team Championships with the best to ever do it.
James Peters: But that’s something we’ll cross the bridge of when we get there, right now Chris has a chance to redeem himself from what happened at Bloodsport and get a victory over two people that I’m sure he has despised since his arrival on Sunday Night Voltage. He’s out for blood today, as seen by the look on his face, and I’m sure he’s not going to settle for anything less than a victory this week.
Persephone: Well guess what Chris? Losing is what losers like you do, so just fucking suck it up and get a grip of yourself. It’s not my fault that you’re absolute garbage and don’t deserve a place in EAW, maybe you just gotta be better.
(Chris stops at the bottom of the ramp, his focus not leaving New Eden not even for a split second. He slowly begins to circle around the ring, carefully planning his game plan, before jumping up onto the apron. He looks out to the crowd right now, a small smirk growing on his face while the crowd continues to show their support. It isn’t long before he enters into the ring from there and then jumps up to the top rope. He poses at the top while the crowd continues to roar for him, before he jumps off the top rope and makes his way towards his corner. He gets prepared for the match at hand, waiting for his partner with a serious look on his face while ‘Invincible’ fades out from there.)
(‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent hits to the absolutely deafening cheers from the crowd in the Amway Center tonight upon hearing the theme of Justin Windgate and seeing him make his way out to the stage. He has a bright smile on his face while he looks around, taking the time to hype up the already hyped up crowd in attendance, soaking it all in while he can. Justin stops at the center of the stage, pointing towards the crowd one more time, before focusing his full attention on the ring. He nods his head slowly for a moment, taking a few deep breaths, before he then begins to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Bella Braxton: And his partner… from Detroit, Michigan… weighing in at 225 pounds… THE XTREME CLASSIC… JUSTIN WINDGATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: And here comes the man of the hour, we know exactly what happened the last time that we saw Justin Windgate in the squared circle. He put on an absolute barn burner for the EAW World Championship against Drake King in a Chainsaw Deathmatch. While he didn’t exactly come out on top in the end, there’s no doubt he made an impression and set a precedent for what’s to come for him in the near future.
James Peters: He said last week that nobody was going to stop him and keep him down for long. He’s coming back into action stronger than ever, and that’s where he finds himself this week. I have no doubt that Justin is going to steal the show today, the question is will that be enough to redeem himself from Bloodsport and get the victory this week? Only time can tell.
Persephone: Alright let’s calm ourselves down here, the last thing we want is J.R. Smith here being at the top of Voltage. The bar is low as it is, but not even Justin Windgate can reach it. Let’s not get so ahead of ourselves here.
(Justin stops at the bottom ramp, maintaining complete focus for a moment. He once again takes a deep breath, stretching out his limbs, before running forward and sliding right into the ring. He then makes his way up to the top rope, pointing finger guns towards the camera that’s centered on him with a smirk on his face. He then jumps down and begins to circle around the ring, hyping up the crowd for a final time before he finally begins to make his way towards his corner. Both him and Chris look to one another with stern looks on their face as ‘High All The Time’ fades out and the referee then begins to signal for the bell from there.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go, we’re underway with tag team action live on Sunday Night Voltage! Myles is starting for his team while Justin is starting for his, both of them are beginning to precariously make their way around the ring, scouting the competition for a good moment. Myles begins to make his way towards the ring, looking to offer a collar-and-elbow tie up to Justin who is easing into this match right now. Both of them are beginning to lock up! BUT MYLES GRABS JUSTIN BY THE HEAD AND SENDS A KNEE STRIKE TOWARDS HIS ABDOMEN!
James Peters: Justin stumbles backwards, taken aback by the surprise knee from Myles. Look at the crowd right now, showering the New Eden member in boos. Justin recovering, BUT MYLES FOLLOWING UP WITH ANOTHER KNEE TO THE HEAD OF JUSTIN! CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! Justin stumbles backwards once again, this time dropping down to a knee after the attack. But Myles isn’t done, grabbing a hold of him by his head, LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ON HIS HEAD WITH A BRAINBUSTER! Justin attempting to sit up and try to get up to his feet before the situation that he finds himself in gets worse, BUT MYLES TURNS AROUND AND KICKS JUSTIN DEAD IN HIS FACE!
Persephone: Maybe if he kicks him hard enough, he can get a concussion. DO IT AGAIN!
Rich Russillo: Justin grabbing at his face on the mat, clearly feeling the effects in the early going. Myles makes his way towards him and grabs him by his head, grabbing him and dragging him up to his feet, not willing to let go of the early advantage that he has at the moment. BUT IT’S JUSTIN THAT MANAGES TO GRAB AHOLD OF HIM AND TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SLAM! Justin quickly mounted on top of him and wasted zero time beginning to hammer away with closed fist punches towards his face! Myles tries to block as much as he can but Justin is relentless, taking the opportunities as they come! Justin backing off while Myles attempts to scramble up to his feet before anything more can happen, BUT IT’S JUSTIN THAT RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TOWARDS HIS FACE TO TAKE HIM BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
James Peters: Myles rolling away, wasting no time getting away from danger before anymore damage can be inflicted on him. Myles rolls to the outside, stumbling backwards and clutching onto the barricade while he takes a moment to catch his breath. But Justin sees this while he gets back up to his feet, and I don’t think he’s going to let Myles catch a breather at the moment. Justin running the ropes and back while Myles begins to take notice, BUT HE MIGHT BE TOO LATE WITH JUSTIN LEAPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING MYLES DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A BEAUTIFUL TOPE CON HILO! Justin isn’t done though, sliding back into the ring while Myles is attempting to get up and once again running to the opposite pair of ropes! LEAPING OVER AND GOING FOR A TANDEM TOPE CON HILO ONCE AGAIN!
Persephone: SPLAT!
Rich Russillo: But Myles manages to move out of the way just in time while Justin takes a hard landing on the ringside flooring! That had to hurt Justin, but it looks like Myles is returning the favor to him, sliding back into the ring and running the ropes and back! BEFORE LEAPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING JUSTIN DOWN WITH A TOPE CON HILO OF HIS OWN! Myles is right back up to his feet, paying no regard to the crowd’s negativity at the moment and getting back into the match. Myles grabbing Justin by his head and pulling him up to his feet, BEFORE SLAMMING HIM BACKFIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Myles isn’t done though making sure to keep the assault going, GRABBING HIM BY HIS HEAD AND LOOKING TO THROW HIM INTO THE RINGPOST FACEFIRST!
James Peters: BUT JUSTIN MANAGES TO ROLL THROUGH AND CONNECT WITH A DROP TOE HOLD SENDING MYLES FACEFIRST INTO THE RINGPOST INSTEAD! Myles completely crumbles down to the ground while Justin clutches onto the apron and slowly rolls himself back up to his feet. Justin reaches his arm out to his corner, possibly looking to get the tag into his partner, seeing the rough situation that he finds himself in. Justin continues to crawl while Chris waits anxiously in his corner, reaching his hand out with an eager look on his face!
TAG!
Persephone: But it’s Myles that manages to slide in and tag in MyChemicalRomanceFan2004!
Rich Russillo: Myles taking the best way out of this, AS MINERVA ENTERS INTO THE RING AND STOMPS DOWN ON THE HEAD OF JUSTIN BEFORE HE CAN TAG! New Eden realized the situation they were in and took advantage of the fresh participant in this match to prevent Justin from getting the tag, and the pissed off look on the face of Chris Elite tells it all. Minerva grabs hold of Justin and brings him up to his feet, BEFORE THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Justin is definitely feeling the effects of this attack now if he wasn’t before, trying to fight back to the best of his ability and drag himself out of the ringpost and slouching down to a seated position in the corner. BUT MINERVA IS UP AND RUNNING, GOING FOR A BOOT TO THE SKULL OF JUSTIN!
James Peters: But it’s Justin that manages to move out of the way of that! Minerva collides with the corner turnbuckles at full force, BEFORE JUSTIN GETS BACK UP BEHIND HER AND DROPS HER DOWN INTO A BRUTAL BACKSTABBER! Minerva bounces off the ground and tumbles down to the ground, Justin finally getting back into this match and I don’t think he’s going to let go of the gas pedal for any reason. Justin grabs Minerva and brings her up to her feet, sending her towards the ropes with an Irish whip! MINERVA TRYING TO USE THE MOMENTUM TO GO FOR A RUNNING LARIAT! But Justin ducks under that just in time, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR TAKING MINERVA DOWN TO THE GROUND FOR A JUMPING DDT!
Persephone: At this point, I’m just trying to find a way to amuse myself after the shitshow that we’ve had up until this point. If Justin elevated just a little bit more, I guarantee her neck would’ve been broken. Which is why… DO IT AGAIN!
Rich Russillo: Minerva taken down to the ground while Justin brings her back up by her arm and sends her towards a corner! BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND SENDING A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TOWARDS HER JAW! Justin grabs her by the head this time and throws her down to the center of the ring before jumping up to the top rope while Minerva is attempting to get back up to her feet. JUSTIN LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND THIS TIME WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK TO HER CHEST!
James Peters: Minerva stumbles backwards and once again falls back into the corner trying to keep herself up while Justin makes his way towards his corner, possibly looking for a tag in to his partner in this match!
TAG!
Persephone: BALDY TAGGED IN!
Rich Russillo: Chris jumping right into the ring while Minerva runs towards him with full speed, BUT CHRIS IMMEDIATELY TAKES HER DOWN WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! Minerva stumbles back up to her feet trying to fight back to the best of her ability, but someone shot Chris out of a cannon and he’s up and running! CHRIS GRABBING MINERVA AND DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A BODYSLAM! Minerva is in a whole lot of pain but it looks like Chris isn’t done right here, RUNNING FORWARD AND LAUNCHING OFF THE GROUND CRUSHING HER WITH A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
James Peters: Chris nodding his head while he hypes the absolutely electric crowd in Orlando up and gets them up on their feet! You can tell that the crowd is loving this New Eden beat down right now! Chris bringing Minerva up and throwing her towards the ropes and back, BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS THE OPPOSITE PAIRS OF ROPES AND LAUNCHING MINERVA ACROSS THE RING WITH AN ALMIGHTY PUSH! THE POUNCE SENDS MINERVA TUMBLING DOWN TO THE GROUND! Chris is feeling it now, beginning to make his way up to the top rope and position himself with a look of anticipation on his face! LEAPING OFF AND GOING FOR A BEAUTIFUL 450 SPLASH ONTO MINERVA!
Persephone: BUT CHRIS MISCALCULATES AND MISSES LIKE THE FUCKING BOZO HE IS!
Rich Russillo: I’d rather say that Minerva managed to move out of the way! Chris grabbing his gut and trying to heave himself up to his feet, realizing the scenario that he finds himself in, RUNNING TOWARDS MINERVA AND GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE! BUT MINERVA DUCKS UNDER THAT AND INSTEAD TAKES CHRIS DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD!
James Peters: Minerva isn’t done bringing Chris up to his feet and sending him towards the ropes, BEFORE GRABBING HIM BY HIS ARM AND TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH AN ARM DRAG! Chris sits up in a world of hurt now, BEFORE MINERVA RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A PENALTY KICK TOWARDS THE FACE OF CHRIS ELITE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Minerva isn’t done though turning around on the spot, BEFORE LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST OF CHRIS ELITE! THAT HAD TO HURT!
Persephone: He’s dead, that had to have stopped his heart. REFEREE RING THE BELL!
Rich Russillo: Chris is trying to sit up, BUT MINERVA PICKS HIM RIGHT BACK UP AND LAUNCHES HIM INTO A POWERFUL GERMAN SUPLEX! Chris tumbling down to the ground, but rolling towards the ropes, BUT MINERVA RUNS FORWARD AND SENDS A KNEE STRIKE TOWARDS THE HEAD OF CHRIS!
James Peters: Chris finding himself backed up against the corner, WHILE MINERVA RUNS FORWARD WITH A KNEE STRIKE TOWARDS HIS HEAD! Minerva looking towards Myles now who seems to be holding his hand out for a tag in this match!
TAG!
Persephone: TAG TO MS. EXTREME’S BIOLOGICAL BROTHER!
Rich Russillo: AND HERE COMES MYLES! MYLES RIGHT AWAY GRABBING CHRIS INTO A POWERBOMB! BEFORE MINERVA COMES BACK AND POPS UP CHRIS INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! What an emphatic return into this match by Myles while he grabs him by his head and sends Chris towards the ropes and back, BEFORE GRABBING HIM BY HIS HAIR AND SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE CANVAS!
James Peters: Chris immediately shooting up to a seated position, BUT BEFORE HE CAN EVEN FIGURE OUT WHERE HE IS IT’S MYLES THAT LAUNCHES INTO THE AIR AND CRUSHES HIM WITH A METEORA! Myles this time grabbing him by the arm and bringing him up to his feet before sending him towards the ropes with an Irish whip! STEPPING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A BIG BOOT TO HIS SKULL TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: I’m starting to question why Chris Elite is a Hall of Famer, just kidding, I’ve always questioned why.
Rich Russillo: Myles once again going for another Irish whip towards the ropes and back looking to take Chris down with something else! BUT CHRIS LEAPING UP USING THE MOMENTUM OF THE IRISH WHIP TO DROP MYLES DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A BEAUTIFUL LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! WHAT HEIGHT BY THE HALL OF FAMER!
James Peters: Myles tries to recover, slowly crawling towards the ropes and trying to help himself up to his feet. Myles leaning against the ropes, BUT CHRIS RUNNING FORWARD LOOKING TO TAKE MYLES OUT OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE! MYLES MANAGING TO TURN IT AROUND, DUCKING HIS HEAD AND SENDING CHRIS UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE OUTSIDE!
Persephone: :mjlol2: What a fucking idiot. To specify, I’m talking about Chris, all of them are idiots anyways so I have to specify.
Rich Russillo: Chris is sent tumbling down to the ringside flooring, breathing heavily and trying to help himself up to his feet. All the while, Myles looks to be taking the time needed to take a breather and recover in what has been such a hectic match for them up to this point. Chris clutching onto the apron and trying to slide back into the ring, BUT IN AN INSTANT HE’S MET WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE COURTESY OF MYLES SENDING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Myles grabbing hold of Chris and beginning to back him towards the ropes, I think we know what he’s going for here!
James Peters: MYLES RUNNING THE ROPES AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO HIS HEAD! MYLES RUNNING THE ROPES AGAIN AND CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER KNEE STRIKE TO HIS HEAD! MYLES RUNNING THE ROPES AND CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER! AND MYLES FINALLY FINISHING IT OFF WITH A FOURTH KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD OF CHRIS ELITE! COMPLETING THE ROPE TRAPPED REPEATED RUNNING KNEES COMBINATION!
Persephone: Hopefully that killed him, at the very least go for the pin and see if that did anything. I don’t think I see him breathing so that’s a plus.
Rich Russillo: MYLES ISN’T DONE THOUGH, BRINGING HIM UP AND THROWING CHRIS TOWARDS THE ROPES AND POPPING HIM OFF THE GROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! VICTORIA CONNECTS COMPLETELY DROPPING CHRIS DOWN TO THE MAT AND COMPLETELY KNOCKING HIM OUT COLD! THIS MIGHT BE THE FINISHING BLOW NEEDED TO END THIS MATCHUP! MYLES HOOKING THE LEG WHILE HE HAS THE CHANCE! GOING FOR A PIN ATTEMPT! COULD THIS BE IT FOR THIS MATCH?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
James Peters: X-FACTOR! JUSTIN WINDGATE LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND BREAKING UP THE PIN WITH THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS COMPLETELY CRUSHING MYLES! JUSTIN TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE THE MATCH AND ALSO FINDS A MEANS TO AN END TO THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE! JUSTIN GRABBING THE ARM OF CHRIS AND SLINGING IT OVER THE BODY OF MYLES! SHOULDERS DOWN! PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
…
…
…
Persephone: WHY?!
Rich Russillo: BUT MINERVA AT RINGSIDE GRABBING THE LEGS OF MYLES AND PULLING HIM OUT OF THE RING BEFORE THE REFEREE CAN COUNT TO THREE! NEW EDEN NARROWLY SAVING THEIR CHANCES IN THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE!
(Justin grabs hold of Chris and helps him up to his feet, while Minerva watches on the outside, trying to recover Myles who seems to be completely out of it. Justin drags Chris over to his corner in frustration, not willing to wait any longer, and tagging in himself.)
TAG!
James Peters: AND IT’S JUSTIN THAT’S TAGGED IN! WHO’S WASTING ZERO TIME RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK, BEFORE LAUNCHING OVER THE TOP AND TAKING BOTH MEMBERS OF NEW EDEN DOWN WITH A TOPE CON HILO! Justin took matters into his own hands with an absolutely beautiful move, grabbing hold of the head of Myles before rolling him back into the ring in the process! Justin sliding in while Myles staggers up to his feet, LEAPING UP AND LAUNCHING HIM INTO THE AIR WITH A QUICK MONKEY FLIP!
Persephone: :dahell: You could use any move, and you go for a Monkey Flip??? That has to be the most depressing move ever.
Rich Russillo: Myles tumbles down to the ground, slowly beginning to bring himself up to his feet. BUT IT’S JUSTIN THAT GRABS HIM AND DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! Justin isn’t done though, keeping ahold of Myles and rolling through, BEFORE GOING FOR ANOTHER SNAP SUPLEX! Justin isn’t done though, once again rolling through, BEFORE GOING FOR A TRIFECTA!
James Peters: BUT MYLES MANAGING TO SLIP OUT OF IT AND DROP JUSTIN DOWN ON HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Myles brings Justin back up to his feet with the last ounce of energy he has left while he throws him towards the corner with an Irish whip, BEFORE GOING FOR A CORNER CLOTHESLINE TOWARDS HIS HEAD! BUT IT’S JUSTIN THAT MANAGES TO USE THE ROPES TO KICK MYLES IN HIS FACE! Justin taking the time now to climb up to the top rope while Myles stumbles back towards the center of the ring! JUSTIN LAUNCHING OFF THE TOP ROPE LOOKING TO TAKE MYLES DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE CROSSBODY!
Persephone: YOU CAN DO FUCKING FLIPS AND THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS A CROSSBODY! Good thing that didn’t work, fucking idiot.
Rich Russillo: BUT MYLES CATCHES HIM AGAINST THE FACE WITH A BRUTAL BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Myles grabbing hold of Justin and dragging him back up to his feet, BEFORE THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Myles looks to get a tag in, propping Justin up against the corner, before looking to Minerva. I think both of them realize what they can do!
TAG!
James Peters: NEW EDEN WITH EXEGESIS! MYLES DROPPING JUSTIN DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THE DE-FACTO SPINNING PUMP HANDLE SAMAOAN DROP WHILE MINERVA LEAPS OFF THE TOP AND CRUSHES HIM WITH THE HELL’S BELLS ARABIAN PRESS! JUSTIN IS COMPLETELY LEVELED WHILE MYLES RUNS FORWARD AND SENDS A KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD OF CHRIS ELITE SENDING HIM FLYING OFF THE APRON! MINERVA HOOKING THE LEG! PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
Persephone: I’m convinced some of you are on steroids now. This can’t be possible.
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL?! HOW THE HELL?! JUSTIN WINDGATE JUST MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! MYLES AND MINERVA THOUGHT THIS MATCH WAS OVER! BUT THIS MATCH CONTINUES!
(Minerva sits up, despondent for a good moment while Myles turns back in confusion. If there’s one thing they didn’t expect, it’s Justin to power out without the help of Chris. Justin slowly begins to show life, surprisingly, mustering out the strength to heave himself up to his feet and look at the two of them. He can only do one thing as Myles and Minerva look like they’ve seen a ghost, stick the middle finger towards both of them.)
Justin Windgate: (Off-Mic) Fuck… New… Eden…
James Peters: The willpower of Justin Windgate at the moment is absolutely remarkable, but not to the eyes of someone like Minerva. Minerva brings Justin up to his feet while he’s still weakened! AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH ATLAS FALLS! THE TWISTING BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS COMPLETELY KNOCKING JUSTIN OUT COLD!
Persephone: NO! NO! NO! JUST FUCKING END THE MATCH FOR GOD SAKE!
Rich Russillo: BUT WAIT! BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE! CHRIS ELITE COMES IN AND GIVES THEM A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE, GRABBING JUSTIN BY HIS LEGS AND PULLING HIM OUT OF THE RING BEFORE MINERVA CAN EVEN DO ANYTHING!
James Peters: Justin got the wakeup call he needed, falling back against the barricade and shooing Chris away; some battles you just need to fight alone :lupe:. JUSTIN QUICKLY SLIDING INTO THE RING AND GOING FOR MINERVA TAKING HER DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS! Justin popping up to his feet before running to the ropes and back, THIS TIME GOING UP AND GOING FOR A HURRICANRANA!
Persephone: :comeagain: Is this a fucking wrestling match or a anime episode?!
Rich Russillo: BUT IT’S MINERVA WITH ABSOLUTELY DOMINATING STRENGTH LIFTING JUSTIN UP AND GOING FOR A POWERBOMB! But it’s Justin that manages to grab the head of Minerva and slip off of her while still keeping a grip on her! Minerva attempts to push him towards the ropes while Justin has the headlock locked in! BUT JUSTIN MANAGES TO USE THE MOMENTUM TO LAUNCH OFF THE TURNBUCKLE PADS AND TAKE MINERVA DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A TORNADO DDT!
James Peters: Justin slowly waits for Minerva to get up to her feet, with a smirk on his face knowing exactly what he can do at the moment. JUSTIN LAUNCHING UP AND GOING FOR A CLASSIC ENDING! REVERSE CUTTER TO PLANT MINERVA DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE HE HAS THE CHANCE!
Persephone: YES COME ON! LET’S GET THIS SHIT OVER WITH SO I CAN BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO GOING HOME!
Rich Russillo: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO TURN IT AROUND INTO A SUBMISSION HOLD! MINERVA HAS OWL OF MINERVA LOCKED IN! CATTLE MUTILATION IS CINCHED IN WHILE JUSTIN SCREAMS IN AGONY TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE HOLD! Justin sees the situation that he’s in, but Minerva is absolutely relentless trying to make sure that Justin doesn’t escape out of the hold or have a way in the slightest! If Minerva wants to end the match, this has to be the way to do it! Justin looks on the verge of tapping right here! COULD WE BE SEEING A VICTOR IN THIS MATCH?!
James Peters: CHRIS BREAKS UP THE SUBMISSION HOLD JUST IN TIME! Chris shakes his head and gets back up to his feet, but it looks like Myles isn’t going to take to that so kindly! MYLES ENTERING INTO THE RING, SHOVING THE REFEREE AWAY AND RUNNING AT THE TWO OF THEM WITH FULL SPEED AHEAD!
Persephone: Young love 😍😍😍.
Rich Russillo: BUT JUSTIN GRABS HIM WITH THE LAST OF THE ENERGY THAT HE HAS LEFT IN HIS BODY AND TAKES MYLES DOWN TO THE GROUND IN AN ARM DRAG, BEFORE LOCKING IN THE BORDER CITY STRETCH! NO X-SCAPE IS CINCHED IN WHILE MYLES SCREAMS FOR DEAR LIFE! The referee is barking out orders at Chris trying to get him back into his corner, which it looks like he does reluctantly seeing that Justin has this covered! Myles isn’t even the one tagged in, yet he finds himself in this situation at the moment clinging on for dear life!
James Peters: BUT MINERVA WITH THE DEVIL’S TOUCH TO JUSTIN WHILE HE HAS THE BORDER CITY STRETCH LOCKED IN! THE SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF JUSTIN FORCING HIM TO LET GO OF THE HOLD! MYLES ROLLS OUT OF THE RING IN RETREAT WHILE MINERVA HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Persephone: :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: BUT JUSTIN GETS THE SHOULDER UP AGAIN! Minerva sitting up looking absolutely perplexed, how far is Justin going to be willing to go to get ahead in this matchup?! Minerva is back up to her feet and shaking her head, attempting to recover as much as she can! BUT IT LOOKS LIKE CHRIS IS SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE ROPES AND TAKING MINERVA DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE! Minerva is taken down to the ground and I think we know why that’s the case! Myles is trying to recover and I don’t think he sees what’s going on in the ring, Chris dragging Justin towards his corner!
TAG!
James Peters: CHRIS TAGS HIMSELF IN!
Persephone: A significantly smaller Ronan Malosi tags himself in!
Rich Russillo: CHRIS ENTERING INTO THE RING WHILE MINERVA GETS UP TO HER FEET AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE! CHRIS BRINGING HER UP NOW, BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN THIS TIME WITH A BRUTAL SIDESLAM! Minerva is feeling the pain trying to help herself up to her feet, BUT CHRIS GOING FOR ANOTHER ALMIGHTY PUSH TO MINERVA! THE POUNCE LOOKING TO SEND HER FLYING ACROSS THE RING ONCE AGAIN!
James Peters: BUT MINERVA WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TAKING CHRIS DOWN TO THE GROUND! Minerva shoves him away now and begins to make her way up to the top rope, positioning herself and getting ready for flight! LAUNCHING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND LOOKING TO TAKE CHRIS DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE HE ATTEMPTS TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
Persephone: But she doesn’t know professional wrestling 101 so she slips off the top like a little bitch! Atleast, that’s what I want to believe happened right there :mjcry:.
Rich Russillo: BUT CHRIS STUMBLES TOWARDS THE ROPES AND SHAKES THE TOP ROPE FORCING MINERVA TO SIT BACK DOWN ON THE TOP! Minerva definitely didn’t expect that, she’s feeling the effects of the match at the moment so it’s definitely going to take her a moment to recover. BUT CHRIS RUNS FORWARD AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TO HIS SKULL! Minerva once again teeters on the edge, but it’s not looking good for her once again as Chris begins to climb up the turnbuckles and join her on the top! CHRIS JUMPING UP AND LOOKING TO LAUNCH MINERVA OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A FRANKENSTEINER!
James Peters: BUT MINERVA SHOVES CHRIS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND TRANSITIONS SEAMLESSLY INTO HELL’S BELLS! THE ARABIAN PRESS COMPLETELY CRUSHES CHRIS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S NOT GOING FOR THE PIN!
Persephone: :dahell: Do you just want to make me suffer in this match by not going for the pin?!
Rich Russillo: Minerva is back up to her feet, patiently waiting for Chris to get back up, possibly looking to finish this match off and get the win for her team! Chris is getting up to his feet in an oblivious manner, unknowing of what he’s being led to right here. MINERVA GOING FOR TPK! THE PRINCESS KILLER SPINNING TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!
Crowd: NSNWQONEWONQQKWNEOWNWOQNQOWNEOE
James Peters: IT’S TEAM DYNASTY! THE VISUAL PROPHET! ANDRE WALKER! SOSA HENDERSON! WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?!
Persephone: They’re definitely not here to mess around with Team Voltage, James. 🙄
(Viz, Andre, and SOSA are seen swiftly jumping the barricade while the Voltage crowd tonight completely hypes the three of them up in their Invasion of the enemy brand. The distraction is enough for Minerva to drop Chris and immediately turn towards the three of them, seeing the danger that her and Myles might possibly be in right now.)
Rich Russillo: MYLES ISN’T HAVING IT, LEAPING OFF THE APRON AND TAKING THE DYNASTY TEAM DOWN WITH A BIG METEORA TO THE OUTSIDE! HE KNOWS WHAT KIND OF DANGER THEY COULD BE IN IF THEY LET THEM ROAM FREE!
James Peters: The referee is quickly rolling out of the ring while he has the chance, trying to split the four of them up before this can get any worse! The last thing that he wants is a situation like last year where absolute pandemonium occurred with all three brands.
Persephone: I was a little more excited last year, maybe that was because Rex was on the card.
Rich Russillo: Let’s not forget though, this is simply a Dynasty versus Voltage battle! Due to Hurricane Ida, Team Showdown is trapped in Louisiana after the HUGE Stadium Stampede announcement, I think Dynasty saw this as the perfect opportunity to strike to say the very least!
James Peters: But it looks like one less person is in the crowd after all that wreckage caused by Myles! Viz looks like he’s managed to avoid the attack, where the hell is he going?! :krabs:!!!
(Viz quickly runs around the ring and slides in while Minerva seems to be occupied. She looks back and forth between Minerva and the pile of bodies on the outside, choosing her options precisely. But she doesn’t realize the person that has joined her inside the ring, Minerva quickly tries to leave the ring before…)
Persephone: :blessed: He too realizes that this match needs to be ended ASAP.
Rich Russillo: VIZ WITH A KISS TO THE HEAD BULL HAMMER ELBOW STRIKE TAKING MINERVA DOWN TO THE GROUND! VIZ TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE REFEREE BEING DISTRACTED BY WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE OUTSIDE AND COMPLETELY MAULING THROUGH MINERVA WHILE HE HAS THE CHANCE RIGHT HERE!
(In an instant the crowd begins to fill the arena with boos upon seeing Drake King run out from the backstage area and practically sprinting towards the ring, looking to fend off Team Dynasty from his New Eden brethren.)
James Peters: BUT LOOK! SOSA HAS MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE CARNAGE AND LAUNCH HIMSELF TOWARDS DRAKE AND TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! BOTH SOSA AND DRAKE ARE NOW LOCKED IN A BRAWL WITH ONE ANOTHER, ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS IN THEIR ATTACKS AT THE MOMENT! EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING LEFT AND RIGHT AT THE MOMENT!
Persephone: BEAT HIM UP! BEAT HIM UP! Ok maybe this is fun, next thing is we need to make sure someone gets injured.
(While the scene looks to be absolutely filled with action right now, Drake and SOSA in a brawl with one another, Viz looking down at his work laying Minerva out with a smirk on his face, while both Andre and Myles are trading punches back and forth with one another, it seems that both Justin and Chris have their eyes on the prize. Chris is slowly recovering, feeling the effects while Justin is standing at the ring scanning the competition at the moment. Myles has managed to shove away from Andre for the time being, focusing his attention on the ring and looking at the scene in front of him. With a pissed off expression, he runs forward and attempts to slide into the ring.)
Rich Russillo: BUT IT’S JUSTIN WINDGATE THAT SLIDES INTO THE RING AND KEEPS MYLES ON THE OUTSIDE WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE! Myles falls against the barricade while Justin slides out of the ring and wasting no time laying waste to him! JUSTIN LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND TAKES MYLES DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A CLASSIC ENDING! REVERSE CUTTER PLANTS MYLES DOWN TO THE GROUND! EVEN WITH THE CARNAGE, JUSTIN KNOWS THAT HE HAS A MATCH TO WIN!
(Inside the ring, a confused and dazed Minerva seems to be stumbling up to her feet. In hindsight, everything that’s happened at the moment seems like a blur to her. She’s grabbing her head trying to shake off the bull hammer elbow strike to her head that temporarily knocked her out cold. She turns around, realizing the situation before the entire brawl happened, seeing that Chris Elite has completely disappeared from his position on the ground where she left him.)
James Peters: BOX OFFICE SMASH TO THE JAW OF MINERVA SENDING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! CHRIS OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THE LAST OUNCE OF ENERGY THAT HE HAS LEFT LAYING MINERVA OUT WITH THE SUPERKICK! CHRIS COLLAPSING DOWN TO THE GROUND ON TOP OF MINERVA! SHOULDER DOWN ON THE MAT! PIN ATTEMPT! THIS COULD BE IT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Invincible’ blasts through the speakers once again to the loud cheers of the crowd while Chris Elite and Justin Windgate waste zero time rolling out of the ring before anything else can happen. Both of them have the biggest grins in the world on their face while they recover at ringside, raising their hands in the air while the crowd continues to show their support for the two fan favorites at the moment.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen here are your winners, the team of… CHRIS ELITE!!!!!!!!! AND JUSTIN WINDGATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: :blessed: :blessed:
Rich Russillo: Wow, that was a ride to say the very least. A hard hitting match from four of the best that Voltage had to offer, in the end only one of the teams could come out victorious by any means. Team Dynasty hijacking the match and making their presence known led to the team of Justin Windgate and Chris Elite to take advantage and take this match for themselves.
James Peters: I’m sure this leaves an absolutely horrible taste in the mouths of New Eden. I can imagine how unhappy all three of them are at the moment, which means that Team Dynasty accomplished their task. Great match, but most importantly, congratulations to Chris and Justin!
(Meanwhile, it seems like New Eden has regrouped inside the ring. Drake, having fended off SOSA, slides into the ring to check on Minerva while Myles gingelly rolls back into the ring to do the same. The matching expressions on the face of the three members of New Eden once they recover tells it all, they’re absolutely pissed at the moment. All three of them turn and scan the arena, trying to find where the culprits have run off too at the moment.)
(The camera then goes to the stage where Andre Walker and SOSA Henderson are seen standing side-by-side with one another with big smirks on their faces, seeming satisfied with their work at the moment. Meanwhile, The Visual Prophet is seen proudly strutting up the ramp and towards the stage, with microphone in hand having taken it from the Timekeeper’s Area, meeting his two teammates on the stage as well. The three of them look cheerfully towards an aggravated New Eden, while Viz begins to speak into the microphone from there.)
The Visual Prophet: What kind of team would we be if we didn’t talk about the recent number of implications into this little match that me, SOSA, and black-white-samoan Andre have against those unmelenated folks and my Drakey and his little lackeys?! :patrice: Interesting, interesting indeed… regardless of what it was going to be, War Games, Stadium Stampede, hell do a Jake Mercer and orchestrate an Anal Explosion Deathmatch. We still main eventing, we still leading the charge, we the ones that call the shots, ain’t nobody say you could. The Founder of The Visual Prophet Leadership Academy and his little Propheteers are still on top, show-stealing, notice-dealing, 🎶Oh, oh-oh 🎶, all that. We the best, and it’s more than just music, it’s life. All you need to know is the war-ready general is ready to lead his team to victory, nough said.
SOSA Henderson: I told Viz that I would never turn down a chance to support the black community and furthermore, support what he’s doing. He’s doing some immensely beneficial work for African American men and women and that doesn’t go unnoticed in the eyes of someone like myself, which is why I didn’t even think twice when I accepted his olive branch to join him in Stadium Stampede at Territorial Invasion. Viz and I have always seen eye-to-eye, but we’ve never truly been side-by-side, and I feel like this is the perfect opportunity considering the agenda that he’s continued to push and the opportunity that I get as a result. Because let’s admit, I’m ain’t done with the three of you in the ring right there. I’m ain’t done with Myles, I’m ain’t done with Minerva, and I’m most definitely ain’t done with Drake King over there either. I didn’t forget the shit that you done to me during Season 14 and it’s safe to say if there’s still someone with a chip on their shoulder, it’s me. Which is why I support Friday Night Dynasty and fight side-by-side with my brethren.
Andre Walker: There’s no finer details when it comes to it, Dynasty is going to remain unconquered, triumphant, and unbeaten in brand warfare competition. For the third time in four years, we’re going to be on top in superiority, why? Because of the three men that stand before fake white Jesus and his cohorts. Who have been none short of the dominant, prevalent, and preeminent standard-bearers that Dynasty deserve to have. New Eden have no place at the peak of this industry, they have no place near this match in the first place. You three need to comprehend that this is not your battle to prevail in. Especially with someone like myself who is pound-for-pound advantageously better than you like myself. Because ‘The Kaiser’ always stands on top, and there’s no discrepancy or distinction with or without help by my side. The result is never going to differ, and nothing will change about it when Team Dynasty walk out of Territorial Invasion as the victors.
The Visual Prophet: All in all, that means…
The Visual Prophet, SOSA Henderson, & Andre Walker: FUCK NEW EDEN!!!
(‘Voodoo Child (Slight Return)’ by Jimi Hendrix then blasts through the speakers while New Eden looks to have absolutely snapped after hearing what Team Dynasty had to say towards them. Viz, Andre, and SOSA then raise their hands up in unison, mocking ½ of their opponents at Territorial Invasion with confident, arrogant looks on their faces. It’s not long after that the last shot seen is Team Dynasty and Team Voltage staring down one another is seen before Sunday Night Voltage then fades to commercial break.)
(Commercial for the upcoming Captain Australia 4 starring Myles.)
( Voltage returns from break and cuts to the backstage area where the beautiful Candice Blair is seen getting ready for her match. In just a few minutes, she will join forces with Danny Tanner for the first time as a tag team, as they get ready for their big Unified Tag Team Championship opportunity at Territorial Invasion. With Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams at ringside, two champions who are no doubt going to remember the cheap shot Candice got in on Dynasty thanks to Danny’s distraction, the stakes are pretty high tonight. Candice takes a deep breath, fusses with her platinum blonde locks, and is just about to head towards the guerilla area when she is approached by Fight Grid reporter, Molly Waters. )
Candice Blair: Molly! Did you come to interview me since you know my sound bites always go viral?
( Absolute confidence is dripping from Candice’s voice because she truly does believe she is the greatest thing to ever happen to the sport of professional wrestling. )
Molly Waters: I have to say, you are an extremely busy woman these days. I know your match with Danny against Jake and Holly is next, but if you don’t mi-
Candice Blair: ( interrupting Molly quickly ) Ohmygosh! I don’t mind. I’m always happy to give the people what they want, and of course that is access to Candice Blair, 24/7, regardless of what’s going down. My match is extremely important to me, but so is giving the fans what they want :wow:.
Molly Waters: Right. So last week, Captain Charisma had one final trick up his sleeve with the Tag Team Turmoil lottery and that was drawing two final names to face the current Unified Tag Team Champions, Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams, at Territorial Invasion. Your name just happened to be pulled, and in turn, you pulled out Danny Tanner’s name. What are your thoughts about teaming with someone who is so new to this business?
Candice Blair: I think Danny has it made with someone like me by his side, cheering him on, and making sure that we rise to the occasion come Territorial Invasion. It’s no secret that I have been searching for championship gold since I became a full-time competitor in EAW, and why not turn my attention to something I never thought about before? Trust me, there will come a time when Candice Blair finally gets that Specialists Championship that has eluded her, but until then, I am all in on this tag team thing. I mean, I think Danny looks great by my side and every girl needs a gay BFF she can team up with! We can go shopping, get our nails done, and kick some ass. It’s like the perfect scenario and I could not be more thrilled with my partner. I believe in Danny Tanner, and more importantly, I believe in ✨ US ✨ together as a team.
Molly Waters: You two made quite the impact on Dynasty the other night. What prompted you two to head over to the red brand?
( Candice can’t help but grin. )
Candice Blair: That should be pretty obvious! Since last season, all Harlow and whoever that man is that gets to partner with her have done is complain about their respect situations. They have totally been in their feelings and you would think that after they won the titles at Pain for Pride, and at IDOL-GUN’s expense no less, they would be in much better moods. But nope! It’s been much the same. They have consistently whined about the lack of competition on Dynasty, and it’s really unbecoming, especially on Harlow, because she’s so pretty. I actually have a lot of respect for her, but that doesn’t mean I won’t knock her flat on her ass and take those championships away from her and her man. It’s pretty obvious that Xavlow wasn’t going to take Danny and I very seriously, so I hit Danny up, and was like, let’s take a trip over to Dynasty. And Danny was like, excuse me, but I think you have the wrong number, m’am. It was so cute. I reassured him that I didn’t and that I was Candice Blair, and he started screaming that if this was Tucker playing a trick on him he would kill him. Then in a weird turn of events, he apologized for his outburst and asked this Tucker guy not to be mad at him??? To make a long story short, Danny came around to the fact he was truly talking to the one and only Candice Blair, and the rest is history! We did what needed to be done, and showed Xavlow that we could strike from anywhere. They’re both going to have to watch their backs and take us seriously come Territorial Invasion.
Molly Waters: I want to switch gears for just a moment, if that’s alright with you.
Candice Blair: Absolutely! Anything to give the EAW Universe more time with Candice Blair.
( Candice turns to the side, showing off her impeccable profile, and winks at the camera. She is clearly living for whatever camera time she can get and that includes a prolonged interview despite the fact her match is about to start in mere moments. )
Molly Waters: After the drawing and announcement regarding the Unified Tag Team Championship match at Territorial Invasion, Captain Charisma said he needed to speak with you about something else. Are you able to reveal the details of that conversation at this time?
Candice Blair: Absolutely. Captain Charisma offered me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He asked me if I wanted to participate in a special women’s wrestling exhibition match at Clash of Kingdoms: Shores of Gold.
( Candice dramatically pauses to allow her words a chance to sink in. )
Candice Blair: I think it goes without saying that the treatment women receive in the Middle East isn’t something I agree with, and when Captain Charisma brought up this match, I obviously said yes. It’s not very often that two people get a chance to get in the ring and wrestle just for the Hell of it with nothing on the line. Not everything has to be about championships or accolades, or whatever. Sometimes, the bigger picture is more important, and right now, giving hope to all the oppressed little girls and young women growing up in what is obviously a horrible situation is what matters. I think if I can get in that ring and deliver, some little girl watching is going to be inspired and understand that there is so much more to life than being under someone else’s thumb. There’s a lot going on in Afghanistan right now, horrific shit, and it makes me sick to my stomach. There have been pictures and articles splashed all across the media about how Afghanistan is in the process of regressing. Women are about to have their freedoms taken away. Girls aren’t going to be allowed to go to school anymore. It’s absolutely devastating, Molly, and I really think that a lot of us take the freedom we have here for granted. Under Taliban rule, women were not allowed to go to school, have jobs, and could not leave their homes unless they were covered from head to toe and had a man with them. We all know that participating in sports was completely out of the question. I couldn’t imagine not having control over my own body, and being able to decide what direction to take my life. I couldn’t imagine being forced into a marriage, or sold as a sex slave, or being set on fire because someone didn’t like my cooking. Yes, that just happened, google it. Female activists have had to either flee or go into hiding because their own country is no longer safe, and that’s extremely heartbreaking.
Molly Waters: This is something you feel pretty strongly about.
Candice Bair: It is, because what we are able to do as women here in the States and in other free parts of the world are luxuries that women raised in the Middle East don’t necessarily get, and who knows if they ever will now? I just want to give them hope, and that’s why I’m absolutely infuriated that Ashley Flores decided to shit all over this opportunity. She’s not exactly my favorite person, but she really just sunk to an entirely new low last night. I was watching Showdown, because hello… Cameron is the queen, and I was actually shocked that Ashley would take this opportunity to do something worthwhile and throw it right back in Hurricane Hawk’s face. The actual audacity of her to refuse the match, refuse to give oppressed women hope, and refusal to look at the bigger picture just really upset me. I could never be so selfish to flat out say no to a chance to actually do something worthwhile, but not everyone is as good and as kind-hearted as Candice Blair Ava. I get that I’m special, and I could have handled Ashley saying no, but then she turned it around and turned it into a chance for financial gain. I’m sick. How much lower can someone, who’s never done anything worthwhile in her life, sink? I guess we know now, and come Clash of Kingdoms: Shores of Gold, I am going to teach her a lesson in humility and beat some respect into her. I don’t care about the money. In fact, whatever I make from the event is going to UNICEF USA for Afghanistan. They are on the ground running, helping Afghanistan women and children cope with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and the humanitarian crisis affecting the country.
Molly Waters: Wow. I’m really impressed by that.
Candice Blair: And I’m impressed that I was given the chance to make a difference. Ashley Flores could learn a lot from someone as selfless as me. Now if you’ll excuse me, Molly, I have a match to go win.
( Candice smiles brightly and fluffs her hair, before making her way towards the guerilla area. That sends the cameras back down to the ringside area. )
(Voltage returns to the shot of the commentary team and Bella Braxton inside the ring, prepared to announce the next match.)
James Peters: Welcome back to Sunday Night Voltage, ladies and gentleman! Tonight, man, do we have a good one for you!
(‘Witches Burn’ by The Pretty Reckless welcomes a mixed reaction from the Voltage crowd as Harlow Reichert walks onto the stage with the Unified Tag Team Title wrapped tightly around her shoulder. She smiles as ‘It Has Begun’ by Starset replaces the sound and the other half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Xavier Williams, makes his way onto the stage. They look at each other and intently show the fire in their walk tonight.)
Rich Russillo: Not only do we have an excellent match coming up next, we have the Unified Tag Team Champions coming to join us on commentary!
James Peters: They were attacked by Danny Tanner and Candice Blair on Dynasty, you know they’re looking for some payback tonight!
(The camera pans to Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams taking a seat in the chairs and putting headsets on)
Rich Russillo: We’ve got the tag champs on commentary for this one and I know you guys have been adamant about defending your titles as often as possible, so I’m sure you’re looking forward to seeing your competition at Territorial Invasion compete tonight!
Harlow Reichert: Well, competition is a term I’d use lightly when referring to a team composed of Danny Tanner and Candice Blair, but hey, we’ll take the challengers that come our way and prove that we’re the best, and show them that their efforts to blindside us have been for not.
Xavier Williams: That isn’t wrestling it’s cowardice, and we’re anything but. We’re the best in the world. No matter how hard the challenge, we’re going to stay active and the only way to remove all doubt is to leave every stone unturned, so we’ll take whoever EAW sends our way. A challenge is a challenge and the best knows nothing but overcoming them. Even if it isn’t much of an uphill battle in the first place.
James Peters: So, you’re not anticipating a tough fight out of Candice and Danny at Territorial Invasion?
Xavier Williams: Did you see Candice Blair’s reaction when Danny Tanner was chosen? She didn’t want him to tag with her, they clearly know nothing about one another. We’ve been a well-oiled, perfectly-oiled machine actually, for months now. They’re coming in freshman to the tag team division and starting off by challenging the Varsity team, not even, the collegiate standouts. The first round draft picks and the very best this division has to offer. One stunt on Dynasty after attacking us from behind and what? They think they’ve got an edge here? I won’t discredit them entirely, but I’m not expecting a hard night at the office.
Harlow Reichert: But don’t expect your traditional tag team champions at Territorial Invasion, we’re going to return that favor they gave us on Dynasty and show them every ounce of the “sportsmanship” these two showed us. It’s a war and we’re not leaving until the challengers are left as bloody dust covered stumps in the ground.
(The camera pans to Bella Braxton as she begins to announce the match.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(Crowd repeats ‘ONE FALL’!)
(‘Diva’ by Beyonce begins to play as Candice Blair makes her way onto the stage, a mixed reaction to Candice, as she arrogantly struts to the edge of the stage. The mixed reaction is loud, but Candice looks confident as she looks directly towards the Unified Tag Team Champions.)
Rich Russillo: She looks so good. Omg.
Persephone: Someone get him a towel.
Rich Russillo: :will:
(Candice Blair rolls into the ring and points to Harlow Reichert, a smile on Candice’ face as ‘Loser’ by Charles Hamilton begins to sound throughout the arena. A wave of loud cheers take over the arena as Candice awkwardly stares at the stage. Dnany Tanner enthusiastically runs out to the Voltage stage and begins waving to the fans. He’s ecstatic as per usual.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST, THE TEAM THAT WILL COMPETE FOR THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM TITLES AT TERRITORIAL INVASION, CANDICE ‘THE HOT COMMODITYYYY’ BLAIRRRRRR AND DANNNYYYYY ‘3 SECOND’ TANNNERRRRRRR!!!!
(Crowd cheers loudly as Danny smiles at Candice and she shows an odd smile back, then awkwardly looks into the crowd and hits a signature pose.)
Harlow Reichert: You know, this may be a tag team match, but their opponents are not even close to being on the same page. All Danny and Candice have to do is let Holly and Jake’s team dissolve like it was always going to. They can save themselves the effort of trying and likely failing to win a very winnable match. Come on, is this really a measuring stick as to their tag team capabilities and talent? A team of Holly Arrow and Jake Smith? I don’t think so.
Xavier Williams: Candice herself said that she’s never before even thought about being a tag team competitor, it won’t be the transition they think it will. It’s a completely different dynamic and one that’s going to take them by storm. One that has already taken the world by storm all the times we proved we were the greatest tag team walking the face of this planet. I can tell you that these two could put up the most heroic effort possible, but that’s all it’ll be and all they’ll even get close to. Trying to get the jump on us last week and scurrying away like rats is the most success they’ll see against us.
(The two warm up as ‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti begins to play. The fans boo the very mid rapper and Jake Smith as he devilishly walks onto the stage. Jake Smith scowls at the booing fans and makes his way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENTS! INTRODUCING FIRST, WRESTLING OUT OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEEEYYYYY!!! WEIGHING AT 210 POOUUUNNDDSSS, JAKEEEEEE ‘THE GODSEENNNDDD’ SMITTTHHHHHH!!!!
(Crowd continues the boos as Jake barely even gives them a glance this time.)
James Peters: I’m not sure what the foul attitude on Jake Smith is about, earlier tonight we heard straight from Drake King that Jake would be getting an EAW World Championship match at Clash of Kingdoms 2! This is a huge opportunity for Jake, who’s been talking about nothing but getting back to the top of EAW for months now. He finally sees it all in front of him and he’s got the match he worked for.
Rich Russillo: That foul attitude, pff, he has to tag with someone he absolutely doesn’t trust tonight. Let’s not forget that Jake also has had a bit of a history with you, Harlow.
Harlow Reichert: Yeah and he knows if he comes over here he’ll be reminded that only one of us still is on top of EAW as we speak. It’s a joke that he’s getting another title shot, he wastes every chance he gets and he’s gonna let this one slip down the drain too.
Persephone: I agree, he’s a bonehead who thinks world revolves around him, when really he doesn’t matter at fucking all.
James Peters: Huh, I don’t know ANYONE like that.
Persephone: I swear to God I’ll smack the shit out of you.
(‘My Hero’ by Foo Fighters begins to sound as more boos play Holly Arrow onto the stage. A big smile on her face as she looks at the crowd, they can’t tell if she’s mocking them or being serious, they boo anyway.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS PARTNER, WEIGHING IN AT 149 POOOUNNDSSS!!! WRESTLING OUT OF CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALANDDDD, ‘AS INNOCENT AS THEY COME’ HOLLYYYYYYY ARROWWWWWWW!!!!
(Boos rain down as she looks at Jake and he turns away, she appears frustrated and takes a deep breath, once more putting a smile on her face and getting onto the turnbuckles to pose in front of this Voltage crowd.)
Rich Russillo: Now, this woman is incredibly talented and she flipped the switch heading into this new season. She’s ready to do anything she has to in order to procure gold in EAW, but she still believes she’s only doing the same as everyone else, trying to win championships and make a bigger name for herself. No matter the means, which I appreciate. I love this new side of Holly Arrow and I believe she’ll showcase here talents as being sharp as ever tonight.
Harlow Reichert: She’s tagging with Jake Smith and it looks like she’s already trying to suppress her own ego, that isn’t a good team combination, if you ask me; the tag team champion.
Persephone: No team with either of these people has ever been good. Why would they be now?
Xavier Williams: I mean, that’s true.
(Jake steps into the ring and Holly doesn’t bother arguing with him. Candice Blair for on the other side, the referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Here we go! These two teams meet on Voltage and it’s gonna be Jake Smith and Candice Blair starting off! Jake and Candice circle one another, looking to lock up! They meet in the middle- Jake already sidesteps her and trips Candice Blair! A petty trip from Jake Smith, right from the get go! Jake Smith is never shy with disrespect, but Candice Blair quickly gets back up and invites Jake to go again! They meet in the middle one more time and this time, they engage in a collar and elbow tie-up!
Rich Russillo: Jake Smith is able to pressure Candice Blair back to his corner, but she slips out and turns this around. Now Candice shoves Jake into the turnbuckles and keeps a forearm firmly pressed against his cheek! She uses the entire 5 count before finally thrashing that forearm off the face of Jake Smith as he looks disgusted! Wait!
TAG!
Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow tags herself in, she’s legal now! Jake isn’t happy about it, but he goes back out to the apron anyway. These two square off and Holly goes for a calf-kick on Candice Blair. Candice catches it and throws Holly onto her back! Wait! Bang! Holly shoots a round kick onto the chin of Candice from the ground, Candice Blair releases her grip and Holly Arrow gets back to her feet! Candice Blair stumbles to the turnbuckle and Holly Arrow takes her back, she wants to throw her with a German suplex! She’s trying to send her flying, but Candice Blair is holding onto the top rope and delivers a sharp back elbow that lands right behind Holly’s ear!
Xavier Williams: It’s clear they’re both looking to finish this one early, neither one really concealing their efforts. Now Candice reverses the position and puts Holly Arrow into the corner. Candice with a spinning heel kick to the abdomen, she sat Holly Arrow down in the corner, I like this strategy from Candice! Punish the abdomen, then go for your finish!
James Peters: Good to hear that honest advice from one-half of our tag team champions as Candice heads to the other side of the ring now! CANDICE CHARGES AND DRIVES HER HIP INTO THE FACE OF HOLLY ARROW! THAT RUNNING HIP ATTACK IS STRAIGHT OUT OF HOLLY’S PLAYBOOK, CANDICE BLAIR USING HER OPPONENT’S ATTACK AGAINST HER! BRILLIANT! Candice Blair now picks Holly up by the hair and drags her to the corner, she looks at Danny Tanner, who looks a bit too…mesmerized by her wrestling.
Persephone: He’s a fucking simp, dude.
(Danny Tanner is almost hesitant to tag in.)
Harlow Reichert: I think he’s afraid to touch Candice Blair, wow, that’s…wow.
TAG!
James Peters: He finally tags in and looks absolutely in love with the soft supple hand of Candice Blair, he’s simping mid-match!
Xavier Williams: This is one of the elements of their game that will lose them the match at Territorial Invasion, it’s also why they had to jump on us from behind. A man afraid to touch the hand of a woman isn’t mentally prepared to even touch this tag team title belt, let alone be the champion. Danny Tanner is so soft, it makes no sense, how is he one half of the challenging team at Territorial Invasion?!
Persephone: Actually, I don’t think he is soft…
Rich Russillo: Here comes Danny! Danny storms into the ring as Candice throws Holly into Danny! He’s got her in a backbreaker rack, he wants to transition into that signature ddt! NO! Holly slips out the back door and shoves Danny against the ropes! He comes off the ropes and is met with a hard shoot kick to the nose! That one stumbles Danny Tanner as Holly Arrow makes it to the corner and tags Jake Smith in!
TAG!
James Peters: She lifts Danny onto her shoulders and then drops him into a sliding dropkick to the side of his head from Jake! Wow! Tandem offense from these two, who clearly are starting to function in a direction they didn’t think they would! Danny on the canvas as Holly stays in the ring, Candice storms in and tackles Holly Arrow through the ropes! They’re on the outside and they’re in a heap!
Harlow Reichert: This is what I’m talking about, one half of the team needs too much help and the other one just throws the gameplan into the trash and starts performing like a bat out of hell. They’re letting a team that doesn’t even like one another or even respect one another outperform them as a tag-team right now, they expect to challenge us with this same strategy? I’d certainly hope not!
Rich Russillo: Jake Smith lifts Danny Tanner onto his feet, but Danny Tanner fires a big right hand on the jaw of Jake! That one had Jake shocked, he fires back with a shot of his own, but Danny avoids it and now scoops Jake up, SPINEBUSTER!!! He PLANTS Jake Smith with a ring-rattling spinebuster as Jake clutches at his back! Danny looks to the outside and sees the brawl going on between Holly Arrow and Cadice Blair! He slides under the bottom rope and goes for a clobbering blow to the back of Holly! She moves out of the way and he nearly hits Candice Blair!
Xavier Williams: Incredibly dysfunctional. They’re virtually facing each other at this point.
James Peters: Holly now shoves Danny into Candice and the two go stumbling backwards! She slides back in the ring and they both go in after her- Jake Smith is back up! Jake and Holly clothesline Danny and Candice over the top rope and they hit the floor hard! Wow! What an unexpected twist in the favor of this Holly/Jake pairing, I don’t know how they’re doing it, but it’s working!
Harlow Reichert: Danny has his eyes peeled on Candice’ chest, he can’t focus on his opponents. Look at this, she’s just adjusting her attire and Danny looks starstruck. Someone go fire this guy,
Rich Russillo: Look at this, look at Candice Blair.
(Candice Blair grabs Danny Tanner and begins to yell at him. She’s telling him to get his head on straight and start performing, that he can’t let her distract him and he needs to focus on the task at hand. She gives him a stern warning and lets Danny Tanner know this match is a make or break for them. He seems to have understood, he wipes the grin off his face and he slides back into the ring as Candice gets back to the apron.)
Rich Russillo: Hopefully what Candice said got through to Danny Tanner! Now Jake rushed Danny again and he avoids a short-arm clothesline, now evading a punch from Jake, he’s slipping these punches like Ali! Jake finally connects with a punch that rocks Danny Tanner, now grabbing him for the michinoku driver! JAKE LIFTS DANNY TANNER UP- NO! DANNY WITH A KNEE TO THE SKULL, HE ESCAPES OUT THE BACK DOOR AND TAKES THE BACK OF JAKE! HE LIFTS HIM UP INTO A BACKRACK POSITION, NOW TRANSITIONING TO A DDT MID-AIR AND DRIVING JAKE SMITH’S SKULL INTO THE CANVAS!
(Candice cheers for Danny and he smiles.)
James Peters: LOOK AT HOLLY! SHE RUNS BACK THROUGH THE ROPES, BUT SHE’S MET WITH A BOOT TO THE MIDSECTION FROM DANNY TANNER! NOW CANDICE IN THE RING, SHE COMES RUSHES WITH A HANDSPRING AND DANNY TANNER GRABS HER IN MID AIR AND THROWS HER INTO HOLLY ARROW, CANDICE DROPS HER WITH A STUNNER!!! DANNY TANNER GRABBED CANDICE AND THREW HER INTO THE AIR! HE GOT OVER THAT AWKWARD SHYNESS AND AN INCREDIBLE FEAT OF TANDEM TAG TEAM OFFENSE WAS THE BYPRODUCT!
Xavier Williams: Not incredible, something very standard, him being able to do that just goes to show that he might even be comfortable tagging Candice Blair’s hand in without looking like a PTSD victim at Territorial Invasion. Nothing significant as far as we’re concerned.
Rich Russillo: Jake Smith is back! He’s back in the match and he blasts Danny Tanner from behind! A storm of kicks to the downed Danny Tanner, Jake Smith looking to take back the reins of this match! He grabs Danny Tanner by the hair and pulls him to his feet, now calling for the big shining wizard! That huge running knee! JAKE COMES OFF THE ROPES- DANNY CAUGHT HIM IN MIDAIR AND TURNED IT INTO ANOTHER SPINEBUSTER! THROWING JAKE DOWN WITH AUTHORITY AND NOW TAGGING IN CANDICE BLAIR! HE HAD A SMILE CROSS HIS FACE, BUT IT WAS THE SMILE OF VICTORY IN SIGHT!
James Peters: JAKE IS DOWN AND HERE COMES CANDICE BLAIR! SHE WASTES NO TIME AND MOONSAULTS HER KNEES ALL THE WAY AROUND INTO THE ABDOMEN OF JAKE SMITH, CRUSHING HIS RIBS AND TAKING THE BREATH FROM HIS BODY! THIS COULD BE THEIR CHANCE, CANDICE BLAIR GOES FOR THE COVER ON JAKE SMITH!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHH-
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! Candice Blair thought she had Jake done for, but this match is alive and well! Look at Candice, she isn’t wasting any time at all! She’s ascending the turnbuckles and looking for a meteora dive! Jake Smith is STUMBLING AROUND THE RING, AS SOON AS HE TURNS AROUND HE’S GETTING PUT STRAIGHT BACK ONTO THE CANVA-
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW! HOLLY ARROW! SHE COMES ON THE APRON AND PUSHES CANDICE BLAIR TO THE FLOOR! CANDICE BLAIR FELL TO THE FLOOR HARD AND DANNY TANNER TRIED TO CATCH HER, BUT HE COULDN’T! NOW DANNY SLIDES BACK IN THE RING AND CLOTHESLINES HOLLY ARROW OVER THE TOP ROPE! JAKE SMITH KICKS THE LEG OUT FROM UNDER DANNY TANNER! DANNY TANNER DOWN TO HIS KNEES, THIS IS JAKE AND HOLLY’S CHANCE! HOLLY’S BACK TO THE APRON, CRYING FOR A TAG!
Rich Russillo: LOOK AT JAKE, HE ISN’T HEARING ANY OF THAT AND HE’S GOING FOR THE KILL HIMSELF! JAKE BOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND DANNY TANNER AVOIDS HIS SLIDING KNEE AGAIN! EVADING THE KNEE AND NOW CATCHING THE RUNNING JAKE SMITH AND THROWING HIM ARO(UND THE SKIES, BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A TILTAWHIRL BACKBREAKER!!! HOLLY WANTED THE TAG, SHE WANTED TO ATTACK ON BOTH FRONTS, BUT JAKE WOULDN’T HEAR IT! SHE’S LIVID!
Harlow Reichert: You see why this team was never going to work? They were bound to pull something like this from the start.
(Holly Arrow shouts at Jake as Danny Tanner falls back into the turnbuckles, trying to collect his breath.)
James Peters: CANDICE BLAIR, CANDICE BLAIR OUT OF NOWHERE! SHE RUNS TOWARDS HOLLY AND TRIES TO SWEEP HOLLY’S FEET OFF THE APRON, BUT ARROW JUMPS OVER THE CLOTHESLINE AND COMES BACK WITH A KICK TO THE FACE OF CANDICE BLAIR! DANNY TANNER STILL SOMEWHAT OUT OF IT, BUT HE BARRELS HIMSELF INTO HOLLY ARROW AND SHE’S FORCED TO JUMP OFF THE APRON AND HIT THE BARRICADE, HARD!!! OUCH!!
Rich Russillo: LOOK IN THE RING! JAKE SMITH IS BACK UP! THIS IS THE DANGER OF TAG TEAM WRESTLING, YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO EVERYONE AT THE SAME TIME! DANNY TANNER TURNS AROUND AND JAKE COMES FORWARD WITH A ROLLING ELBOW! HE JUST DROVE THAT ELBOW THROUGH THE CHIN OF DANNY! NOW CANDICE BLAIR STORMS BACK INTO THE RING, TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY WITH THESE TWO!! SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE FACE OF JAKE-
James Peters: NO! HE AVOIDS IT AND DUCKS UNDER THAT ATTACK FROM CANDICE BLAIR! She spins around as Jake grabs her by the neck, but she shoves him off as Danny Tanner somehow comes to and grabs him! NOW CANDICE BLAIR WITH A HUGE CHOP TO THE CHEST OF JAKE! DANNY IS STILL HOLDING JAKE BACK AS CANDICE BLAIR DROPS ANOTHER BLISTERING CHOP TO THE CHEST, DANNY SHOVES JAKE FORWARD AND CANDICE CHANGES INTO HIM WITH A SPEAR! WHAT A TEAM THESE TWO ARE TURNING OUT TO MAKE!
Xavier Williams: I’m not sure about all that, but they may get the win right here! Candice covers Jake Smith!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW IN AT THE LAST SECOND! SHE BREAKS UP THE PIN AND SHE MANAGES TO GRAB DANNY TANNER AND DELIVER A QUICK DRAGON SUPLEX TO DANNY! HE TRIED TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, BUT SHE DROPPED HIM IN A FLASH! HOLLY ARROW LOOKING TO COME BACK AND MAKE THE RESURGENCE FOR HER TEAM! HOLLY GRABS CANDICE AND RUNS HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST! BETWEEN THOSE TURNBUCKLERS AND HER SHOULDER SPLIT OVER THAT POST, YIKES! THAT NEVER FEELS NICE!
James Peters: NOW SHE’S DRAGGING JAKE TO THE CORNER AND SHE TAGS HERSELF IN!
TAG!
James Peters: SHE’S OFFICIALLY THE LEGAL WOMAN FOR HER TEAM! HOLLY RUSHED TOWARDS CANDICE BLAIR, WHO OUT OF NOWHERE SURPRISES HOLLY WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! THAT ONE WOBBLED HOLLY, BUT SHE FOLLOWS BACK WITH A POWERFUL CALF KICK THAT NEARLY BUCKLES CANDICE! THESE TWO HAVE BEEN THROUGH AS GURELING CONTEST AND ARE STILL GOING AT IT! WHO WANTS IT MORE!?!
Rich Russillo: CANDICE BLAIR WITH A CHOP AT THE CHEST OF HOLLY NOW! HOLLY CHARGES BACK IN AND CANDICE SENDS HER SLAMMING DOWN WITH A SLINGBLADE! A SLINGBLADE FROM CANDICE BLAIR! NOW CANDICE COMES BACK OFF THE ROPES, BUT HOLLY GOT BACK TO HER FEET SOMEHOW AND LANDS THE ‘KIDS SEE GHOSTS’ SUPERKICCCKKKKKK!!!! THAT ONE STOPPED CANDICE DEAD IN HER TRACKS AND SHE HIT THE CANVAS HARD!!!
Harlow Reichert: SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S FINISHED!
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW GOES FOR THE COVER ON CANDICE BLAIR, FOR A HUGE WIN AND TO PULL OFF WHAT WOULD BE AN ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE COMEBACK!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: KICKOUT! HOLLY DIDN’T GET IT, CANDICE KICKED OUT! CANDICE BLAIR KICKED OUT! SHE POWERED OUT SOMEHOW AND THIS MATCH IS STILL GOING! LOOK AT THE APRON, JAKE SMITH IS BACK UP AND HE’S CALLING FOR A TAG! HOLLY ARROW WON’T TAG JAKE, SHE PICKS CANDICE BLAIR UP AGAIN- BUT CANDICE TAKES HER ARM AND PULLS HER IN, OH NO!!! SINGLE KNEE FACEBREAKER FROM BLAIR!! THAT KNEE CRUSHED THE FACE AND THE HOPE OF HOLLY ARROW!!!
Rich Russillo: CANDICE BLAIR IS GOING TO FINISH THIS, DANNY TANNER IS BACK ON THE APRON FOR HER NOW! SHE PULLS HOLLY ARROW BACK UP TO THE CORNER, RUNS TOWARDS HER AND SHOOTS OFF THE BICYCLE KNEE-
Xavier Williams: She sidesteps Candice! Candice misses as Holly drops another kick to that calf and now Candice buckles to a knee, and Holly follows it up with a kick that drops Candice. Holly now runs the ropes-
TAG!
James Peters: WAIT, JAKE TAGGED HIMSELF IN! JAKE TAGGED HIMSELF IN AND HOLLY CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THE TWO ARE NOW ARGUING AND FULL BLOWN SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER! JAKE SMITH IS TELLING HER TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, HE’S ABOUT TO FINISH THIS!
(Holly Arrow looks absolutely disgusted and shakes her head in sheer disbelief of Jake Smith.)
James Peters: JAKE SMITH SAID HE’S GOING TO FINISH THIS HIMSELF-
Rich Russillo: THAT BICYCLE KNEE FROM BLAIR JUST TOOK JAKE’S HEAD OFF! SHE REMOVED JAKE SMITH FROM CONSCIOUSNESS AND NOW DRAGS HIM TO THE CORNER, OH BOY, HERE SHE GOES! DANNY IS CHEERING FOR HER, CANDICE FLIES OF THE SECOND ROPE WITH A ‘CANDY DESTROYER’ THAT SNAPS THE HEAD OF JAKE OFF THE CANVAS AND HE IS OUT OF IT! HE’S DOWN AND OUT, CANDICE TAGS DANNY TANNER TO GET THE PIN, WHILE SHE COVERS HOLLY!!
James Peters: HOLLY DOESN’T CARE, SHE’S NOT GOING TO TRY AND SAVE JAKE FROM THIS ONE! DANNY TANNER GOES FOR THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS CAREER THUS FAR!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(Danny Tanner rolls off with a huge smile across his face. He gets to hsi feet and the referee raises his and Candice Blair’s hands.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS! YOUR NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS FOR THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS, DANNY TANNERRRR AND CANDICEEEE BLAIRRRR!!!
(The crowd releases a huge cheer for both of them as they raise their hands high.)
James Peters: WOW! If you thought they really had no fluidity and chemistry in the ring together, they proved you wrong tonight! It took some harsh reality checks from Cnadice Blair, but she got Danny’s head on straight and they showed out, tonight! Holly nearly pulled it out after an incredible performance from Candice and Danny, but they manage to see their resolve through to the end! To victory!
Rich Russillo: I know you two must have some thoughts on that win?!
Harlow Reichert: You can’t knock them for coming through a tough match with a victory and having not given up, but man, that competition pales in comparison to us, it’s not even a shred of what they’ll face at Territorial Invasion. We’re a whole different nightmare.
Xavier Williams: They just struggled for dear life against two competitors who couldn’t wait to stab one another in the back, you truly believe they’re going to take the crowns from the best in the world? You believe they’re ready to even fill our shoes? They’re not and if they were, they’re not even close to skilled enough to take these away from us and at Territorial Invasion, no matter how grueling or cruel the match is, we will walk away with these titles still around our shoulders.
(Candice and Danny look like they nearly go for a hug, but the two awkwardly fist bump as Danny raises his hands and starts waving to the crowd. Holly Arrow family walks up the ramp and Jake Smith is laying against the barricade.)
(Candice Blair and Danny Tanner stare at the tag team champions, Harlow and Xavier stand up and lift their titles into the air. The crowd cheers as the two teams stake their claim at glory. The shot focuses on Danny and Candice before fading to commercial break.)
(PSA featuring Xander Payne where he encourages kids to stay in school, and read as much as they can.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the center of the ring, ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, our next match is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: ONE FALL!! INTRODUCING FIRST…
(After a moment of silence, “New World Torture” by While She Sleeps starts to play as Alex Myers enters the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Soon after, Alex Myers begins making their way down to the ring, not wasting any time whatsoever.)
Bella Braxton: They are from Seattle, Washington. They weigh 170 pounds. They are “The King of Pain” ALEX MYERS!
Persephone: Goodie! The little demon is back again. Yay for us.
James Peters: Don’t underestimate Alex Myers. They put up a hell of a fight against Donovan Duke last week. They didn’t pick up the win, but they are continuously getting better each week. They are one of the hottest rising stars in Voltage and in EAW as a whole.
Rich Russillo: That’s right. Alex Myers also found out before the show that they, along with Donovan Duke and Kirk Redwood, are the first three members of Voltage’s Divide and Conquer team at Territorial Invasion. Tonight will be their biggest test thus far in their career as they go against the EAW World Champion. It’s going to be a tall task, but if Alex Myers manages to pull off the upset victory, their stock and their career will rise straight to the stratosphere. I think they can do it.
(As Alex’s entrance music fades out, “Cold War” by Hans Zimmer starts to play as Drake King makes his way onto the stage…a little slower than usual thanks to the events earlier tonight. Regardless, the crowd is loudly booing him.)
Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENT… Representing New Eden. Now residing in The Dead Sea, Israel. He weighs in at 220 Pounds. HE IS THE REIGNING EAW WORLD CHAMPION! DRAKE THE REDEEMER!
(Drake slowly makes his way to the ring, clearly unhappy with everything that happened to him and New Eden tonight.)
James Peters: Here he comes, our EAW World Champion makes his way to the ring for singles action. To say the least, Drake King hasn’t exactly had the best night tonight. First, he has to defend his title against Jake Smith at the Clash of Kingdoms: Shores of Gold event. Not only that, he got completely beat down by Dynasty’s SOSA Henderson, Visual Prophet, and Andre Walker earlier tonight. It’s probably safe to say he’s not in a good mood and he doesn’t feel 100 percent.
Persephone: Nobody but New Eden, right? :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Being the competitor that he is, Drake King is still coming to the ring tonight and wrestling. Hopefully the damage done earlier doesn’t hold him back too much because his opponent would love to take advantage and pick up the win.
(Drake King enters the ring and stands in the opposite corner of the ring. The referee checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: The bell has rung and ohhh boy this match is going to be good. The reigning EAW World Champion Drake King is taking on one of the hottest rising stars on Voltage in Alex Myers. The two competitors lock up in the center of the ring and it is the World Champion who takes early advantage with a side headlock. Myers pushes the champ off and into the ropes. Drake rebounds and takes down Myers with a shoulder tackle.
Rich Russillo: Drake King using his size and strength to take control of Alex Myers back on their feet and they look ready to tie up again. This time Alex Myers is offering a test of strength to the World Champion and Drake King looks sort of amused that Myers is offering the challenge.
James Peters: Regardless, Drake is going to oblige and they are going to lock hands. Who’s going to get the better of this exchange? You would think it would be Drake with his fifty pound weight advantage, but they are astoundingly at a stalemate right now. With what happened to Drake earlier tonight, it must have caused more damage to him than he thought or than he’s letting on.
Persephone: Who gives a damn? The faster this finishes, the faster we go home, and the faster I can start dreaming about my amazing Rexy.
Rich Russillo: Drake King breaks the test of strength and kicks Alex right in the gut! Drake takes Myers and whips them into the corner. Drake runs in for the attack, but Alex counters with an elbow to the jaw. Drake staggers back and Alex jumps onto the second rope. Alex flies for a crossbody, BUT DRAKE KING CATCHES ALEX MYERS! Drake puts Alex onto his shoulders in a Fireman’s Carry position. WHAT IS DRAKE KING DOING? HE HOISTED ALEX MYERS UP INTO A MILITARY PRESS! VERY RARELY DOES THE WORLD CHAMP DO MOVES LIKE THIS, BUT IT’S CERTAINLY EFFECTIVE! HOW LONG WILL MYERS BE UP IN THE AIR? START THE CLOCK!
James Peters: Looks like Drake decided it was long enough and he drops Myers down with the Press Slam. Myers slammed on their back. Drake King drops down to his knees and he looks like he is saying something to Alex.
Drake King: (off-mic) You’ll have to-
James Peters: MYERS GOT HIM BY THE NECK AND ROLLS HIM UP! WAS MYERS PLAYING DEAD? WHO KNOWS, BUT IT WORKED! INSIDE CRADLE APPLIED AND DRAKE’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOO–
Persephone: Look, the little demon got their pin reversed and now their shoulders are down. Dumbass!
ONNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWOOOOO!!!
THRRREEEEE—-
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers kicks out! Both competitors back to their feet and Drake King quickly takes Myers right back down with a clothesline. I was about to say if Drake King was in any type of bad mood, it’s gone now, but I might stand corrected after that sneak rollup. The man who calls himself “The Redeemer” with a little more intensity than usual in this match. Drake King tried to hide it, but he just rubbed the small of his back. He is no doubt feeling the beatdown he got earlier tonight. The fact that he has been cool and collected thus far in the match. Drake King is almost one step below Sainthood or something.
Persephone: Oh shut up! Don’t you start with that stuff.
James Peters: Enough with you two! Now Drake King is picking up Myers and drops them again with a slam! Drake King is back up and he looks to drop the elbow, BUT MYERS ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Drake’s elbow hits the mat and he slowly stumbles back to his feet holding his elbow right before ALEX MYERS CLOBBERS DRAKE KING WITH THE SLINGBLADE! WHAT A REVERSAL BY ALEX MYERS AND NOW THEY HAVE DRAKE KING DOWN! MYERS GRABS THE LEGS OF DRAKE KING AS THEY LOOK FOR A BOSTON CRAB, BUT DRAKE KING QUICKLY COUNTERS BY TWISTING AND FLIPPING MYERS OVER…AND INTO A MODIFIED HURRICANRANA! MYERS ARMS ARE STILL AROUND DRAKE’S LEGS AND THE WORLD CHAMP HOOKS THE LEG!! SHOULDERS DOWN!!
ONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWOOOOO!!!
THHHRRREEEE–
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers kicks out, but they almost got caught! Alex Myers rolls out of the ring to catch a breather and Drake King is going to let them have all the time in the world. Alex Myers has been trying their damndest to get something started in this match, but it’s been to no avail. At every turn, Alex Myers tries something different, but they have been virtually neutralized by our EAW World Champion.
Persephone: Like that’s a huge shocker right there. Tell us something we don’t know, like when this match will END!
James Peters: Chalk that up to the major experience advantage that Drake King has over Alex Myers. Drake King is a veteran here in EAW and he has pretty much done it all. Drake King is one of the best in the world today, so it’s no surprise that he has been to stay one step ahead and have an answer for everything.
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers looks ready to get back in the ring and give it another try. Look at Drake King holding the ropes open for Alex. Isn’t that nice of him.
Persephone: Yeah Drake King being nice. I don’t believe it. What’s the catch?
Rich Russillo: There doesn’t have to be a catch, but Alex Myers is standing on the apron looking to accept the generous offer. NOT FOR LONG! ALEX MYERS JUST RAKED THE EYES OF DRAKE KING! DRAKE KING CLAWING AT HIS EYES TO GET THE STING OUT AS ALEX JUMPS OVER THE TOP ROPE BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE THEY CLOTHESLINE DRAKE KING OVER THE TOP ROPE! DRAKE KING STILL ON THE APRON AS ALEX MYERS HITS THE FAR ROPES AND DELIVERS A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK SENDING DRAKE KING TO THE FLOOR! THERE WE GO!! NOW THEY’RE GETTING THE BALL ROLLING!
James Peters: Alex Myers managed to knock the World Champion out of the ring, but they really need to stay on him. It looks like they are. Drake King makes it back to his feet as Alex Myers hits the far rope before they decide to fly. LOOK AT THAT! TOPE CON HILO FROM ALEX MYERS! THE HEAD OF DRAKE KING BOUNCES OFF THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! LISTEN TO THE CROWD! THEY ARE SORT OF WARMING UP TO ALEX MYERS!
Persephone: Warming up to this little demon? I highly doubt that. It’s just that this crowd is full of damn morons. Is it over yet?
James Peters: No, it’s not over yet. It’s just beginning! ALEX MYERS DRAGS DRAKE KING BY THE HAIR OVER TO THE RING STEPS AND BOUNCES HIS FACE OFF THE RING STEPS! MYERS ROLLS KING BACK INTO THE RING AND DELIVERS A QUICK DDT BEFORE CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE! MYERS LOOKS TO FLY AGAIN! MYERS LOOKING FOR THE MOONSAULT!
Rich Russillo: KNEES UP! DRAKE KING GOT THE KNEES UP AND COUNTERED THE MOONSAULT! ALEX MYERS SURE AS HELL GOT SOME HANGTIME FROM THE MOONSAULT, BUT IT DIDN’T PAY OFF! MYERS IS HOLDING THEIR GUT AS DRAKE KING TRIES TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS OUT FROM THE RING STEPS EARLIER IN THE MATCH!
Persephone: He’ll need to do a lot more than that to shake whatever cobwebs are in that head of his. But he did just pick up Alex Myers and threw them into the corner. Boring!
James Peters: Do you hear the chops Drake King is delivering in the corner? DAMN! THOSE ARE LOUD! YOU COULD HEAR THOSE FROM THE TENTH ROW! DRAKE KING PUTS ALEX MYERS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE DRAKE IS GOING FOR A SUPERPLEX! IF DRAKE HITS IT, THEN IT COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR ALEX MYERS! DRAKE GOES FOR THE SUPERPLEX! ALEX IN THE AIR, BUT THEY MANAGED TO BREAK FREE AND LAND ON THEIR FEET BEHIND DRAKE! WHAT ATHLETICISM FROM ALEX MYERS! IS DRAKE STILL ON THE ROPES?
Rich Russillo: Yes he is! He managed to keep his balance and stay standing on the ropes after Alex countered! LOOK AT ALEX! THEY ARE NOT GIVING DRAKE A CHANCE TO MOVE! ALEX MYERS GETTING IN POSITION AND PULLS DRAKE FROM THE CORNER! POWERBOMB!! HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET THE STRENGTH TO DO THAT?? ALEX MYERS POWERBOMBED DRAKE KING!! MYERS STACKS DRAKE KING UP FOR THE PIN! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! WILL THE ROOKIE DO IT? MASSIVE UPSET ON THE HORIZON…
ONNNNNNNEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWOOOOO!!!!
THHHRRREEEEEE!!!
Persephone: COUNTER! Delusional Drake locked his legs around the neck of Alex Myers and backflips, taking Myers with him! Now the little demon is being pinned. Bahahaha!! It happened to the little demon again!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHHHRREEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: ALEX MYERS KICKS OUT!! MYERS IS NOT HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! THEY ARE POUNDING THEIR FISTS INTO THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION!! Everything they have tried, they have been countered by Drake King. Drake King walks over to Alex and just pats them on the head. WHAT THE HELL? Is he telling Alex good try or is Drake King just being condescending?
Persephone: It’s Drake King! What do you think? There’s only one caring man in EAW and that’s Rex McAllister. Where the hell is my Rexy? I miss him so! :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: Just as quick, Drake King snapmares Alex over his shoulder and now Alex is sitting on the mat. DRAKE KING RUNS THE ROPES, LOOKING FOR A DROPKICK BUT HE JUST JUMPED OVER ALEX AND DELIVERS A KICK TO THE BACK OF ALEX MYERS. THE POINT OF DRAKE’S BOOT CATCHES ALEX RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPINE! ALEX JUST FLINCHED IN PAIN AND WHEN HIS ARMS GO BACK, DRAKE GRABS THEM AND LOCKS IN THE DOUBLE CHICKENWING!
James Peters: DRAKE KING USES HIS POWER TO DRAG ALEX MYERS BACK TO THEIR FEET WHILE LOCKED IN THE CHICKENWING! NOW DRAKE HOISTS MYERS UP TO ADD MORE PRESSURE TO THE MOVE! THE LEGS OF MYERS ARE AROUND THE WAIST OF DRAKE KING! DRAKE NOW LOOKING TO HIT THE CHICKENWING FACEBUSTER, BUT ALEX JUST ROLLED THROUGH SENDING DRAKE KING THROAT FIRST INTO THE TOP ROPE! DRAKE HOLDS HIS THROAT AND ALEX MYERS COUNTERS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! ALEX KEEPS THE MOVE AND BRIDGES UP! SHOULDERS DOWN FOR A PIN!!
ONNNNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWOOOOOO!!
THHRRRRREEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING GETS THE SHOULDER UP!! ALEX QUICKLY HITS THE ROPES AND HITS A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE TEMPLE OF DRAKE KING!! ALEX MYERS LOOKING TO GO FOR ANOTHER COVER, BUT THEY JUST STOPPED! WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
Persephone: Did their brain just leak out of their ears or something? Stop staring down with that derpy look on your face and keep fighting!! End this match as soon as possible! SHIT!
James Peters: OOOOHHHHHH! THAT’S THE STORY RIGHT THERE! DO YOU SEE WHAT ALEX IS LOOKING AT? IT’S THE GLOVE! THE GLOVED HAND OF DRAKE KING! THAT’S THE HAND THAT ALMOST HAD A FINGER SEVERED OFF DURING THE CHAINSAW DEATHMATCH AT BLOODSPORT! WHAT’S WORSE IS THAT ALEX MYERS ABSOLUTELY KNOWS THAT! THIS CAN NOT BE GOOD!
Persephone: What the fuck are you talking about! This could be great! Have the little demon finish the job that Justin Windgate started. Drake could lose a finger and we get Bloodsport revisited! This match just got interesting for me.
Rich Russillo: ALEX MYERS HAS SOME BAD INTENTIONS ON THEIR MIND! THEN AGAIN THIS COULD BE THEIR GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN THE MATCH! USING PROBABLY THE BIGGEST WEAKNESS THAT DRAKE KING HAS RIGHT NOW! ALEX MYERS GRABS THE GLOVED HAND OF DRAKE KING AND JUST THROWS IT BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
James Peters: THE EYES OF DRAKE KING JUST WIDENED AFTER THAT MOVE AND ALEX SAW THAT! ALEX NOW BELIEVES THAT THEY HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE MATCH AND THEY ARE BITING!! ALEX MYERS IS BITING THE HAND–MORE SPECIFICALLY THE DAMAGED FINGER–OF DRAKE KING!! COME ON, THAT’S ILLEGAL AND ALEX KNOWS THAT!
Persephone: But it is great to see. Come on, little demon! Turn into a vampire and let’s see some blood! Don’t wimp out! Damnit!! Stupid Referee is starting the count!
Referee: (off-mic) COME ON ALEX!! STOP BITING! BREAK IT NOW! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI-
Rich Russillo: Alex finally stopped biting, but you can’t doubt what you saw and heard. I am not sure if I would ever hear this, but DRAKE KING WAS YELLING!! YOU CAN’T DOUBT IT NOW! DRAKE KING IS IN PAIN!! HE IS STILL FEELING THE INJURY FROM BLOODSPORT NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE TRIES TO MASK IT!!
James Peters: DO YOU SEE THE SMILE ON ALEX’S FACE? ALEX LOVES THIS TYPE OF THING!! ALEX LIKES TO CAUSE PAIN AND THEY ARE OFF TO A GREAT START!! ALEX NOW PUTS DRAKE HAND IN A FRONT FACELOCK TYPE MOVE AND ALEX JUST DROPPED! I THINK ALEX MYERS JUST GAVE DRAKE’S HAND A DDT! IF YOU DIDN’T HEAR IT BEFORE, YOU CAN HEAR IT NOW! DRAKE KING IS HOWLING IN PAIN! ANY FRUSTRATION THEY HAD UP UNTIL THIS MOMENT IS COMPLETELY GONE NOW! I THINK IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT ALEX MYERS IS AT HOME RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: Yeah! A psychiatric home! Out of all the things they lost, they miss their mind the most. COME ON! LET’S SEE THE BLOOD!!
Rich Russillo: ALEX MYERS PICKS UP DRAKE KING AND WHIPS HIM INTO THE ROPES!! ALEX DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT FROM DRAKE KING AND COUNTERS WITH A HALF AND HALF SUPLEX!! ALEX MYERS ROLLS DRAKE ONTO HIS STOMACH AND MYERS IS LOCKING IN AN ARMBAR! MYERS ISN’T WORRIED ABOUT DRAKE’S ARM, THEY WANT DRAKE’S HAND!! WHAT THE HELL IS ALEX DOING?
James Peters: ALEX IS BENDING THE FINGERS BACK!! APPLYING ALL THE PRESSURE ON DRAKE’S FINGERS!! DRAKE KING IS SCREAMING IN PAIN WITH THE TORQUE ALEX IS PUTTING ON THAT INJURED HAND AND FINGER!! I mean it is technically a submission move, so the referee is asking Drake King if he wants to give it up. BUT DRAKE KING IS SAYING NO! DRAKE KING HAS BEEN COMPETING WAY TOO HARD TOGIVE IT UP THIS EASY!! DRAKE KING TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO BREAK FREE!
Rich Russillo: LOOK AT ALEX MYERS TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO KEEP IT LOCKED IN! ALEX MYERS IS KICKING THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF DRAKE KING WHILE STILL BENDING THE FINGERS BACK AS DRAKE KING LOOKS TO GRAB THE ROPES!! HE IS DRAGGING HIMSELF TO THE BOTTOM ROPE, BUT MYERS FEELS IT HAPPENING!! MYERS DROPS THE ARMBAR POSITION AND DRAGS DRAKE KING AWAY FROM THE ROPES!!
Persephone: Ohhhhh. So close. He almost had it. Loser!
James Peters: The King of Pain is living up to his moniker torturing that hand injury of Drake King. WHAT IS ALEX DOING NOW? THEY ARE HOLDING DOWN DRAKE’S WRIST WITH ONE FOOT AND STOMPING THE SHIT OUT OF DRAKE’S INJURED HAND WITH THE OTHER!! DRAKE KING IS ONCE AGAIN YELLING OUT IN PAIN!! I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF HIS HAND WAS BROKEN OR IF HIS FINGER IS FULLY DETACHED NOW OR SOMETHING!!
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers wants to make Drake King suffer and has now applied a triangle choke. ALEX MYERS STILL WORKING ON THE INJURED HAND WHILE ALSO CHOKING OUT DRAKE KING!! ANOTHER SUBMISSION MOVE FROM THE SEATTLE BORN ELITIST!! DRAKE IS NOWHERE NEAR THE ROPES SO HE WILL NEED TO THINK OF SOMETHING AND QUICK BEFORE HE FADES! DRAKE KING TRYING TO FIND A WAY OUT, BUT I DON’T THINK HE CAN!! THIS MATCH IS ALMOST OVER!
Persephone: I would love to agree with you and have this bloodless match end, but sadly it isn’t over yet. Look at Drake now!
James Peters: HE’S PICKING UP ALEX MYERS!! DRAKE KING FINDING INNER STRENGTH TO LIFT ALEX MYERS WHILE THE TRIANGLE CHOKE IS STILL APPLIED!! ALEX MYERS UP IN THE AIR AS DRAKE KING FINALLY DROPS THEM!! A MODIFIED SITOUT POWERBOMB! DRAKE GETS FREE AS ALEX BREAKS THE HOLD! I DON’T BELIEVE IT! DRAKE KING CRAWLS TO THE ROPES TO GAIN A BREATHER AND SOME COMPOSURE, BUT ALEX IS COMING BACK FOR MORE!
Rich Russillo: Drake King shoves Alex away, staggering Alex a bit, but Alex is back again. Drake King now with a forearm, but Alex just won’t go away! Alex going to try again, BUT THIS TIME DRAKE KING WITH A FLAT OUT PUNCH TO THE JAW OF ALEX MYERS!! THAT LOOKED LIKE A KNOCKOUT PUNCH! I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING FROM DRAKE! HOLD ON A SECOND! WHAT’S GOING ON WITH DRAKE?
Persephone: Nausea? Constipation? Ran over by his sad reality? All of the above?
James Peters: No. Drake King is pulling at his hair and his breathing is getting heavier by the second. This is starting to get a little weird. Drake King has locked his gaze on the slowly recovering Alex Myers and I don’t like the look Drake has on his face. It’s almost like a look of… almost like a look of… ANGER!!
(After James says anger, Drake King can’t control his temper any longer as he runs over and starts attacking Alex Myers.)
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL HAS JUST HAPPENED HERE? DRAKE KING IS COMPLETELY MAULING ALEX MYERS! DRAKE KING HAS LOST IT! THERE’S NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT! DRAKE KING HAS LOST IT! ALEX MYERS TRYING TO COVER UP, BUT IT ISN’T WORKING! THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO BREAK THEM UP, BUT THAT ISN’T WORKING EITHER! DRAKE KING WILL NOT RELENT!! THIS ISN’T A MATCH ANYMORE! THIS COULD EASILY BE A FIGHT TO THE DEATH!
Persephone: Fight to the death! I love it! It’s one of my favorite sentences in the English language. Keep it up!
James Peters: DRAKE KING DRAGS ALEX MYERS TO THEIR FEET AND TOSSES THEM OUT OF THE RING! DRAKE WAITS FOR ALEX TO GET BACK TO THEIR FEET BEFORE RUNNING AND DIVING THROUGH THE ROPES!! SUICIDE DIVE SENDS ALEX MYERS BACK FIRST INTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE! DRAKE KING IS STILL GOING! DRAKE WHIPS MYERS INTO THE SAME RING STEPS ALEX USED EARLIER IN THE MATCH AND ALEX COLLIDES WITH THE RING STEPS WITH A HORRIBLE CRASH!
Persephone: The referee is starting the count now on these two. SHUT UP REF!! Let them beat the holy shit out of each other. At least let one of them bleed first!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING ROLLS MYERS BACK INTO THE RING AND SETS HIM UP FOR THE DREADED BUCKLE BOMB!! ALEX MYERS FLUNG INTO THE CORNER AND THE BUCKLE BOMB CONNECTS! ALEX STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER AND DRAKE KING KICKS THEM IN THE GUT! DRAKE WITH THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK AND DROPS ALEX WITH THE ASCENSION!! HIS VERSION OF THE PEDIGREE FACEBUSTER CONNECTS AND DRAKE GOES FOR THE COVER!!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOOOO!!
THHHRRRRREEEEE!!!
James Peters: ALEX MYERS KICKS OUT!! WHAT TENACITY BEING SHOWN BY THIS ROOKIE!! A LOT OF HEART BEING SHOWN RIGHT NOW DESPITE JUST GETTING STEAMROLLED BY THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!! DRAKE KING IS A LITTLE STUNNED THAT ALEX MYERS EVEN HAD THE NERVE TO KICK OUT! HE IS MOUNTING MYERS AGAIN AND JUST DELIVERING FISTS TO THE SKULL OF MYERS!! WE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS SIDE OF DRAKE KING IN WHO KNOWS HOW LONG!
Persephone: Blast from the past! I love it! Especially if it means a better chance of seeing some bloodshed!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING IS SHOWING HIS RELENTLESSNESS THAT HAS WON HIM NUMEROUS TITLES THROUGH HIS CAREER! DRAKE KING LOCKS ALEX MYERS IN THE HALF NELSON LOOKING FOR THE CROWN OF THORNS, BUT ALEX MYERS BREAKS FREE AND LOCKS EYES WITH DRAKE KING!
SLAP!
James Peters: ALEX MYERS JUST SLAPPED THE FACE OF DRAKE KING! HE PROBABLY SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT, MYERS DOESN’T CARE! BOTH COMPETITORS LOOK EQUALLY PISSED OFF. HERE’S THE STAND OFF…AND HERE’S THE FIGHT!! ALEX AND DRAKE ARE JUST SLUGGING EACH OTHER IN THE FACE! THESE TWO ARE JUST WANTING TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER! DRAKE KING MANAGES TO TAKE DOWN ALEX MYERS AND THEY ARE STILL BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER!
Persephone: One of Drake’s punches caught Alex in the nose! HEY LOOK! THERE’S BLOOD! YAY WE GOT SOME BLOOD!
Rich Russillo: Both competitors were risking disqualification, but the referee FINALLY manages to break them up. They are both back to their feet and ready to start again! BOTH ALEX AND DRAKE WENT FOR ROUNDHOUSE KICKS AND CATCH EACH OTHER IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AND BOTH GO DOWN! REFEREE CHECKS THEM BOTH BEFORE STARTING THE COUNT!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
James Peters: Drake King starting to stir, but Alex Myers has yet to move.
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Rich Russillo: Drake King slowly making it to his feet and Alex is now starting to stir.
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
James Peters: Alex Myers makes it back to their feet and Drake King is holding his ribs and back but he is ready for more, but…
BAM!!
Rich Russillo: SUPERKICK! MYERS WAS PLAYING DEAD AND DRAKE KING WALKED RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK FROM ALEX MYERS! DRAKE HAD HIS HANDS DOWN AND HE CAUGHT IT ALL RIGHT ON THE JAW! DRAKE KING IS BACK DOWN AND ALEX MYERS IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE! ALEX MYERS LOOKS TO FLY ONE MORE TIME AND HOPEFULLY FINISH DRAKE KING OFF! ALEX JUMPS AND HOPES FOR THE BEST!
James Peters: SINNER’S LULLABY!! ALEX MYERS GOT ALL OF THE SINNER’S LULLABY! THEY HAVE FINISHED OFF MANY OPPONENTS WITH THAT VERY MOVE! WILL DRAKE KING BE THE NEXT VICTIM? ALEX MYERS GOES FOR THE COVER! WILL THIS BE A CAREER MAKING VICTORY FOR THE ROOKIE?
ONNNEEEEEEE!!!
…
TWWWOOOOOO!!!
…
THHHRREEEEEE!!
…
…
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING BARELY GETS THAT SHOULDER UP AND ALEX MYERS CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD IT WON, BLOODY NOSE AND ALL! HELL, I THOUGHT THEY HAD IT! ALEX MYERS JUST FELL TO THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION! THEY WERE SO CLOSE, BUT DRAKE KING IS STILL FIGHTING! HE DIDN’T GET TO BE THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION WITHOUT HAVING A STRONG WILL TO FIGHT!!
Persephone: I have a strong will too. Strong will not to throw up and gouge my eyes out because this match isn’t over!
James Peters: ALEX MYERS DRAGS DRAKE KING BACK TO HIS FEET LOOKING TO WHIP HIM INTO THE ROPES, BUT KING HELD ON AND PULLED MYERS IN FOR THE COUNTER! RIPCORD KNEE CATCHES ALEX MYERS ON THE JAW! ALEX MYERS DOWN TO THEIR KNEES AS DRAKE KING LOOKS TO END THIS MATCH! DRAKE KING NOW HITS THE ROPES AND PLACES HIS BOOT ON THE BACK OF THE NECK OF ALEX MYERS!!
Rich Russillo: JUDGEMENT DAY!! DRAKE’S VERSION OF THE CURB STOMP CONNECTS!! NOT ONLY DID THE FACE OF ALEX MYERS BOUNCE OFF THE MAT, THEY JUST GOT VERY PERSONAL WITH THE MAT AND KISSED THE CANVAS AS WELL! THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT ALEX MYERS IS OUT!! DRAKE KING HAS WON THIS MATCH! DRAKE KING GOES FOR THE COVER! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEE!
…
TWWWWWOOOOOO!!
…
THRRRRRRRREEEE–
Persephone: WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING? Drake King just pulled Alex Myers up by the hair and that stops the count! Why would he do that? He had the match won!
Rich Russillo:I DON’T THINK THAT IT WAS ENOUGH FOR DRAKE! LOOK AT HIS EYES! LOOK AT THE EYES OF THE WORLD CHAMPION!! THERE’S SOMETHING THERE THAT I JUST CAN’T DESCRIBE! THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE AN ENLIGHTENED MAN! HE LOOKS LIKE A MAN POSSESSED! I DON’T KNOW WHAT DRAKE KING IS PLANNING, BUT IT CAN’T BE GOOD AT ALL! I THINK THAT HE WANTS TO MAKE ALEX MYERS ABSOLUTELY PAY! I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT I THINK MYERS IS GONNA PAY DEARLY! DRAKE KING PULLS ALEX MYERS UP ENOUGH TO SET THEM IN A SITTING POSITION! DRAKE KING PATS THE FACE OF ALEX MYERS BEFORE BACKING UP TO THE ROPES FACING MYERS! DRAKE KING IS RUNNING FULL SPEED!
BAM!
James Peters: HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS THE GUILLOTINE!! DRAKE KING GOT ALL OF THAT SICK KICK AND IT LIVES UP TO THE NAME OF THE GUILLOTINE!! DRAKE KING COULD EASILY KNOCKED OUT A FEW OF ALEX’S TEETH. ACTUALLY FORGET THE TEETH! ALEX MYERS WAS ALMOST DECAPITATED WITH THAT MOVE!! MYERS IS DOWN AND POSSIBLY UNCONSCIOUS. DRAKE KING HAS HAD ENOUGH OF ALEX MYERS AS HE DRAGS THE LIFELESS BODY OF ALEX MYERS TO THE CENTER OF THE RING BEFORE HE HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE COVER!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN, BUT THIS IS JUST A FORMALITY!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

Persephone: Did he get the demon? He got him! Finally this damn match is over!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Cold War” starts to play again as Drake King rolls off of Alex to the sound of loud boos from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner! THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, DRAKE THE REDEEMER!
James Peters: What a fight! What a match! I honestly can’t believe what we just witnessed! These two fought like hell to win this match, but it is our EAW World Champion who takes home the victory tonight.
Rich Russillo: I don’t think words can describe what we witnessed here tonight with Drake King. It’s like somebody flipped the switch and he completely went insane. With all the crap that he had to deal with including having to give Jake a title shot and getting attacked earlier tonight, I don’t blame him.
(Drake King slowly rolls out of the ring as the med team runs to the ring to check on Alex Myers.)
Persephone: Damn! I was hoping for more blood, but I guess the match ending works for me. Now let’s end the show.
James Peters: Drake King showed exactly why he is the EAW World Champion, but we can’t ignore the performance of Alex Myers. Great work from the rookie. They showed that they can hang with the best of them and that they have a bright future here in EAW. No doubt about it!
(The med team helps a now barely awake Alex to a sitting position as Drake King continues making his way backstage as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(Commercial for Tinder featuring SOSA Henderson, who apparently really needs it.)
(‘Nothing Helps’ by ONE OK ROCK hits, and immediately the crowd begins to cheer as Mary S. Atlas begins to make her way out to the stage. She’s in her wrestling gear as she has a match coming up, but she also has a microphone in her hands. Mary S. Atlas looks around at the crowd as she makes her way to the ring, seemingly confident about her upcoming New Breed Championship match against Ryan Wilson.)
James Peters: Mary S. Atlas is making her way towards the ring, and I thought it’d be because of her upcoming Championship match, but it looks like she actually has something to get off her chest first!
Rich Russillo: I don’t blame her. A lot happened earlier tonight in regards to the New Breed Championship, and I would’ve been surprised if we didn’t see some sort of response to this.
Persephone: I would’ve been happy to not see some response. Voltage is already long as hell thanks to all the boring matches, the last thing I need is to watch Mary S. Atlas of all people cut a promo.
James Peters: Mary’s definitely got a lot on her plate tonight with this being her first ever Championship opportunity, so I’m not surprised that she wants to say something first. This is likely one of the biggest matches in her career thus far.
Rich Russillo: I can’t disagree with you there. This is a big match for Mary, and the crowd seems to be in full support of the idea of her becoming the next New Breed Champion! With all of that being said, I’m interested in seeing what she has to say.
(Mary steps inside of the ring, and she waits for the crowd to die down before beginning to speak.)
Mary S. Atlas: Going into this match I already knew that this would be one of my biggest opportunities yet. I’ve never competed in a Championship match before. This is the first time I’ve ever been in a match with a Championship on the line, and of all people I was facing Ryan Wilson. This was my chance to win my first ever Championship, in the main event match of Voltage at that, and in the process I’d get to shut Ryan Wilson up after all of the stupid things he had to say to me and Rebecca last week. I was always looking forward to this match, but now the stakes have raised even higher. This match has become an even bigger opportunity than it was before, because the winner will not only become the New Breed Champion, but they’ll also be added to the Brand Warfare team for Territorial Invasion. I’ve never competed at Territorial Invasion before, so for my first experience at the event being a Brand Warfare match as the New Breed Champion would be huge. My career would move on to greater heights in just a matter of weeks, all because I defeated Ryan Wilson. I’m not going to miss out on my opportunity to compete at Territorial Invasion and be part of a team that could very well win the Brand Warfare match. I already promised to defeat Ryan Wilson tonight, and now I’m going to do exactly what I said I would.
(Mary S. Atlas begins to smile as the crowd cheers for her.)
Mary S. Atlas: It’s kind of amusing that both Ryan Wilson and Amir Yusuf seem to forget that I exist. They’re both assuming that they’ll be the ones facing each other at Clash of Kingdoms, when Ryan Wilson hasn’t even gotten past tonight yet. I don’t know why they’re both so confident that Ryan Wilson versus Amir Yusuf is the match that will be happening in a few weeks, but in the end Ryan’s the one that’ll be losing his Championship and his potential spot on the Brand Warfare team because of it. They seem to think that I’m not even here, or that Ryan’s match against me will just be some cakewalk when I know and everyone in here knows that that’s not the case. Ryan Wilson is pretending that his match against me will be anything but a challenge. Those two couldn’t even be bothered to acknowledge me and the fact that I’m facing Ryan tonight, and it’s a real shame that even the Champion is overlooking me like this, but in the end what happens at the end of our match will all be because of him. This is not the first time I’ve been underestimated or counted out, and it should make me frustrated that they’re just brushing me off like this, but instead it just makes me even more motivated to take that Championship from him and represent Voltage in Brand Warfare. It makes me more motivated to shut Ryan up, and now I can’t wait to see the look on his face when I’m the one holding that Championship up while Ryan’s forced to eat his words. In the end Ryan can think whatever he wants, it’s just going to make my victory even sweeter when I’m making him pay for overlooking me.
(The crowd continues cheering, clearly in full support of Mary S. Atlas. Mary stops for a second, but it’s not long before she raises the microphone to speak again, showing a look of focus for her big Championship match.)
Mary S. Atlas: Ryan Wilson made a big mistake throwing out this challenge, because tonight I am going to make sure that Ryan doesn’t leave Voltage with the New Breed Championship. Ryan said that he’d be the New Breed Champion forever, but that won’t happen because he decided to challenge me. He decided to let this match happen, and now he’s not even taking me seriously. Ryan Wilson thinks that he’ll just be able to keep racking up Championship defenses without problem, but after tonight he won’t even have a Championship to defend, all because he’s too busy focusing on his “next challenger” to even worry about the one that’s right in front of him. He never thought I had what it took to beat him, and I’m going to prove that thought process wrong. This is my first ever Championship match in EAW and I’ve worked hard enough to deserve an opportunity like this, so if Ryan Wilson wants to walk out here and pretend this match could only go his way, then so be it. In the end I’m going to give this match my all, and I’m going to shock the world by becoming the next New Breed Champion.
(Mary tosses the mic to the side, and ‘Nothing Helps’ begins to play once again as the crowd continues cheering even louder than before for her. Mary S. Atlas’ match is up next, so instead of leaving the ring she backs up into the corner, preparing herself for her first ever Championship match.)
James Peters: Well there you have it! Mary S. Atlas said everything that needed to be said right there, and I’m sure Ryan Wilson was listening to all of that very carefully. I don’t think underestimating Mary is what you want to do at a time like this.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, but don’t you think that there’s a reason Ryan’s been this confident? We saw what he could do back at Bloodsport. We know that he’s good enough to hold the New Breed Championship, meanwhile this is Mary’s first ever Championship match. Mary’s definitely confident and I can’t blame her for wanting to prove Ryan wrong, but I also can’t help but have some doubts.
Persephone: Well both of them are complete garbage but Ryan’s been wrestling since like 1865. Pretty sure he’s been in EAW for like half of that time too, so I don’t know why he’s in the New Breed division.
James Peters: So you think Ryan Wilson’s going to win?
Persephone: I don’t care, I just needed something to pass the time so I thought I’d just throw that out there. Ryan has more experience but he also sucks at everything he does so who knows? Maybe Mary will win and we’ll get another unimpressive New Breed Champ.
Rich Russillo: This match could definitely go either way, and that just makes me more and more excited to see this match happen! Mary S. Atlas doesn’t want to be overlooked, and if Ryan doesn’t play his cards right then he might not see Clash of Kingdoms at all! Lucky for us we don’t have to wait much longer, because the New Breed Championship match is up next!
James Peters: That’s right, and hopefully Ryan really did listen to Mary, because it’s clear that she’s being serious about all of this. Could we see a new New Breed Champion, and will Mary S. Atlas join the Brand Warfare team?
(As ‘Nothing Helps’ continues to play, and Mary S. Atlas continues to wait in her corner for her opponent, Voltage begins to fade out to a commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for EAW 2K22, coming soon.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Mary S. Atlas is still waiting inside of the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: AND IT IS FOR THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!
(The crowd cheers.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first…. From St. Louis, Missouri…. Weighing in at 125 pounds…. MAAARRRRYYYYYYY S. AATTTTTLAAAAAAASSSS!!!!!!!
(The crowd cheers for Mary S. Atlas, but the cheering is soon turned to a mixed reaction as ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is YOU’ by Mick Gordon hits. Ryan Wilson begins to make his way out to the stage, and he has his New Breed Championship with him on his shoulder. He has his eyes focused on Mary S. Atlas as he makes his way towards the ring, clearly thinking about the stakes added to the match at the beginning of the night.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent…. Residing in Newark, New Jersey… Weighing in at 220 pounds…. HE IS THE NEW BREED CHAMPION, RRYYYAAANNNN WWIIIIIIILLLSSOONNNN!!!!!!
James Peters: I think we all know that Ryan Wilson does NOT want to lose this match. Of course there’s the New Breed Championship on the line, but let’s not forget. Whoever wins this match will be added to Voltage’s Brand Warfare team!
Rich Russillo: I do think Ryan Wilson has what it takes to win tonight, but Ryan’s definitely been making a mistake with how he’s treated Mary S. Atlas. If he doesn’t take her seriously we could definitely see Mary on that team, with that Championship around HER waist!
Persephone: Whatever… Can we just get this over with? I really don’t care about this match.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: AND MARY S. ATLAS RUSHES AT RYAN WILSON BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH A DROPKICK! RYAN WILSON DIDN’T ANTICIPATE THAT START AT ALL, AND HE’S SENT ROLLING OUT OF THE RING AFTER MARY CAME OUT THE GATE SWINGING! MARY IMMEDIATELY BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES THOUGH, AND SHE DELIVERS A SUICIDE DIVE- WAIT NO! SHE DELIVERS A SUICIDE DIVE INTO A TORNADO DDT!! RYAN WILSON WAS JUST DROPPED ON HIS HEAD AND THE FANS ARE LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT! Mary S. Atlas made it clear that she was motivated by Ryan overlooking her, and if you needed any further proof that she meant what she said, here it is!
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas sends Ryan Wilson back into the ring, AND AS RYAN GETS UP MARY QUICKLY CLIMBS UP ONTO THE APRON, BEFORE DELIVERING A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY! Ryan Wilson doesn’t even know where he is right now! We all know Ryan Wilson is talented, but there’s no way he could’ve expected a start like this from Mary! She’s determined to become the New Breed Champion tonight, and if she keeps up this offense then we might be seeing a new Champion in just a matter of moments! Ryan Wilson is pulling himself up in the corner, but it looks like he’s exactly where Mary wants him!
Persephone: Thank God this match looks like it’s gonna end already. This really doesn’t need to last long.
James Peters: Mary S. Atlas charges in- AND SHE JUST WENT FOR THE 9 MILES, BUT RYAN WILSON JUST BARELY MANAGED TO AVOID IT! RYAN WILSON AVOIDS THE 9 MILES, AND NOW RYAN QUICKLY LIFTS MARY UP FROM BEHIND BEFORE DROPPING HER BACK FIRST ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Ryan Wilson had a rough start, but that alone just made up for it as Mary’s in a lot of pain!
Rich Russillo: We all know that Ryan can bring out a far more vicious side of him when he’s in big matches like this, and it looks like that’s what we’re seeing right now! Mary S. Atlas is pulling herself into a seated position in the corner- AND RYAN WILSON CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A RUNNING FACEWASH! That boot connected flush on the jaw of Mary S. Atlas! Now it’s Mary S. Atlas rolling out of the ring in pain, but Ryan Wilson’s not looking to give her a second to breathe! Ryan immediately follows behind, AND HE GRABS MARY BEFORE SENDING HER INTO THE BARRICADE!
Persephone: :mjlol: No way Mary’s letting Ryan get the upper hand like this after she started like that. She really doesn’t do anything right, huh?
James Peters: Ryan Wilson now lifts Mary S. Atlas up in a suplex position, AND HE DROPS HER STOMACH FIRST ONTO THE BARRICADE! The fans are booing as Mary S. Atlas is hanging on the barricade, AND RYAN WILSON HITS MARY WITH ANOTHER BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, DROPPING HER OFF OF THE BARRICADE! Already this match has been extremely physical, and it basically just started!
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson’s holding his head still after Mary’s offense early on, but now he drags Mary over to the apron before slamming her face onto the hardest part of the ring! Ryan now rolls Mary back into the ring before following behind, and Ryan Wilson just climbs on top of Mary before beginning to punch away at his challenger! He definitely did underestimate Mary at the start of this but just like that Ryan has fixed things, and this is why he’s the New Breed Champion! Alex Myers thought he could change that, and he didn’t. It looks like Mary S. Atlas is about to be the same way!
Persephone: Don’t care, just end the match. I don’t know how a Ryan Wilson and Mary S. Atlas match is main eventing Voltage anyway.
James Peters: Ryan Wilson lifts Mary up onto his shoulders, AND I THINK RYAN WAS LOOKING FOR A RUNNING POWERSLAM, BUT MARY MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF RYAN’S SHOULDERS! RYAN IS CAUGHT BY SURPRISE AS HE TURNS TOWARDS MARY- ENZUIGIRI BY MARY! MARY S. ATLAS JUST HIT RYAN WILSON WITH AN ENZUIGIRI, AND THAT JUST GOT THE CHAMPION ON SPAGHETTI LEGS! MARY QUICKLY GETS BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND NOW WHAT’S SHE DOING!?
Rich Russillo: A DRAGON SUPLEX!!! MARY S. ATLAS JUST HIT RYAN WILSON WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX, AND THERE’S THE BRIDGING PIN! THIS IS THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH, COULD THIS ALSO BE THE LAST ONE!?
ONE!
TW-
Rich Russillo: NO!!!! RYAN WILSON KICKS OUT, BUT I DON’T BLAME MARY FOR TRYING! This has been a hard hitting match so far, and at this point I feel like all this damage is just going to catch up to these two! That dragon suplex very well could’ve ended the match!
Persephone: :cmon: Did you really think that was gonna happen? I’d love it to, but come on. Cut it out.
James Peters: Mary S. Atlas pulls Ryan Wilson up, AND SHE LIFTS HIM UP IN A SUPLEX POSITION- BUT RYAN DROPS A KNEE DOWN ON HER HEAD! Mary might’ve been looking for the Sleeping Arrow, BUT NOW IT’S RYAN THAT DELIVERS A SPINNING HEEL KICK! Ryan stumbles back into the corner as Mary S. Atlas drops onto the mat, and now it looks like he’s waiting for her to get back up to her feet!
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas manages to get up to all fours, AND NOW RYAN CHARGES IN BEFORE GOING FOR A SLIDING KNEE- WHICH MARY MANAGES TO AVOID! MARY AVOIDS THE SLIDING KNEE, AND NOW MARY QUICKLY GETS BACK UP TO HER FEET- BEFORE HITTING RYAN WITH A BUZZSAW KICK! Both Elitists are on their feet but Ryan’s clearly stumbling, AND NOW MARY GOES FOR THE CUTTER CULTURE- BUT RYAN WILSON DUCKS DOWN AND PULLS MARY INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP! THAT COUNTER MIGHT JUST WIN THE MATCH FOR RYAN!
ONE!
Rich Russillo: NO! MARY IS OUT OF IT QUICKLY, BUT NOW RYAN WILSON LOOKS TO FOLLOW THAT UP WITH A CUTTER OF HIS OWN- JUST FOR MARY TO COUNTER IT IN A SIMILAR WAY TO RYAN! MARY S. ATLAS WITH THE ROLL UP NOW!
ONE!
TWO!-
Persephone: Aaaand Ryan’s out. Of course he is.
James Peters: MARY LOOKS FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK ON RYAN, BUT RYAN DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE JUMPING UP AND HITTING MARY WITH A HARD HITTING ELBOW TO THE JAW! Ryan Wilson’s become known for his hard hitting offense like that, and Mary was nearly taken off of her feet completely! Ryan Wilson now pulls Mary into a front facelock, AND NOW RYAN ATTEMPTS A TORNADO DDT- BUT MARY PUSHES RYAN OUT ONTO THE APRON!
Rich Russillo: Ryan managed to land on his feet on the apron, BUT AS RYAN SWINGS AT MARY, MARY DUCKS DOWN AND SENDS HER SHOULDER INTO RYAN’S MIDSECTION! Mary now looks like she has an idea, and she looks around at the crowd, full of fans cheering for her! It looks like they’re in full support of whatever she has in mind, AND NOW SHE JUMPS OVER THE TOP ROPE BEFORE DELIVERING A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!!! WHAT A MOVE BY MARY S. ATLAS!!!!
James Peters: Both competitors are down at ringside, because that powerbomb clearly took a lot out of Mary! This match has been extremely fast paced and these two have hit whatever big moves they possibly could, and that had to take a lot of strength to just pull Ryan off of the ropes like that! Mary S. Atlas has the upper hand right now, but she needs to get back to her feet so she can capitalize!
Persephone: Exactly! Get Ryan back in the ring and end the match! Or just take the countout and not win the title! I don’t care! Just let the bell ring already!
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas slowly uses the apron to pull herself back up to her feet, and now she rolls Ryan back into the ring before taking a few seconds to catch her breath! Mary S. Atlas is giving this match her all, and this is exactly why the fans are on her side this week! Mary S. Atlas has tons of potential, and we could see that potential bring her a Championship win tonight if she keeps this up, because Ryan Wilson’s not in the best shape after that powerbomb!
James Peters: Mary S. Atlas rolls back into the ring before grabbing Ryan Wilson, and it looks like she’s about to attempt the same move she failed to connect with earlier in the match! MARY LIFTS RYAN UP FOR THE SLEEPING ARROW- WAIT NO! RYAN WILSON MANAGES TO SLIP BACK TO HIS FEET BEHIND MARY, AND NOW RYAN LIFTS MARY UP FROM BEHIND BEFORE SPINNING HER AROUND! LE BOMBE BLEU!!! RYAN WILSON JUST COUNTERED MARY’S BRAINBUSTER AND HIT THE LE BOMBE BLEU OUT OF NOWHERE, AND THIS MIGHT BE IT! RYAN WILSON MIGHT’VE JUST RETAINED HIS NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP! THE COVER NOW BY RYAN!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Rich Russillo: MARY S. ATLAS KICKS OUT!!!! MARY S. ATLAS IS STILL IN THE MATCH AND THE CROWD JUST EXPLODED!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT WASN’T IT!!! RYAN WILSON IS SHOCKED, HE THOUGHT THIS MATCH WAS OVER TOO!!! The heart of Mary S. Atlas is being put on display as she just keeps surviving whatever Ryan throws at her! Ryan gets back to his feet, and he asks the referee just to be sure, but the ref just said the same thing we all saw! That was a two! Mary S. Atlas is still in this match somehow!
Persephone: I don’t know why anyone’s cheering. This match still going on is a terrible thing.
James Peters: Ryan Wilson slowly pulls Mary S. Atlas up, AND I THINK HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE MIC DROP- BUT MARY BEGINS PUNCHING AWAY AT RYAN’S STOMACH!! MARY S. ATLAS KEEPS PUNCHING AT RYAN WILSON, AND NOW RYAN LET’S GO BEFORE MARY DROPS BACK DOWN ONTO THE MAT! Mary is still hurting from the Le Bombe Bleu, but if that Mic Drop connected then this match would’ve definitely been over!
Rich Russillo: Ryan’s holding his midsection as he pulls Mary up again, AND RYAN DELIVERS A KNEE TO MARY’S MIDSECTION! AND THERE’S ANOTHER ONE! That Le Bombe Bleu targeted Mary’s back, and if Ryan keeps targeting the midsection like this then Mary’s gonna have trouble even breathing! Ryan Wilson now, RAMMING MARY INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, BEFORE BEGINNING TO KICK AND STOMP AWAY AT MARY’S STOMACH! THE REFEREE NOW IS FORCED TO START HIS COUNT!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-
Rich Russillo: And Ryan Wilson let’s go to avoid a disqualification! Ryan now backing up- BUT ONLY BEFORE CHARGING BACK IN TO DELIVER A RUNNING METEORA-
James Peters: WHICH MARY IS ABLE TO AVOID! MARY S. ATLAS DIVES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND RYAN CRASHES RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Mary S. Atlas quickly uses the ropes to pull herself back to her feet as Ryan slowly stumbles back up to his, AND NOW THERE’S THE 9 MILES!!!! RYAN WILSON JUST HAD HIS FACE KICKED OFF BY MARY S. ATLAS, AND NOW MARY QUICKLY PULLS RYAN’S LIFELESS BODY OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE GOING FOR THE COVER! THAT’S GOTTA BE IT! THIS MATCH IS DONE, WE HAVE A NEW NEW BREED CHAMPION AND HER NAME IS MARY S. ATLAS!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Persephone: Oh my God, STOP KICKING OUT!!!!
Rich Russillo: This match is still on! Ryan Wilson is somehow still in this match after all that happened, and now it’s Mary S. Atlas that’s in shock! Mary thought that the match would be over right there, but Ryan Wilson is the New Breed Champion for a reason! We saw what he did against Ronan Malosi. We saw what he did against Alex Myers. It looks like he’s doing it again against Mary S. Atlas! Mary’s gonna have to do much more if she wants to keep Ryan down!
James Peters: Mary S. Atlas goes out to the apron before slowly crawling up to the top rope, and she must have something big in mind here! I’m sure she thought this match would’ve ended with that kick to the face, but that isn’t how things turned out! Instead I think she’s about to use one of the biggest moves in her arsenal! 1996 AIRLINE!!!! MARY GOES FOR THE 630 SENTON- LANDS ONTO RYAN’S KNEES!!!! RYAN GOT THE KNEES UP!!! MARY JUST CRASHED ONTO RYAN’S KNEES!!!! Ryan wasn’t able to get out of the way after the damage he took, but this was the next best thing!
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson is crawling towards the ropes, meanwhile Mary is holding her back in pain! Ryan Wilson’s extremely smart, and he did the one thing he could’ve in order to stop Mary from putting this match away! I thought Mary had this once she went to the top rope, but in the end this match is still on! Ryan Wilson is pulling himself up to his feet, and you have to give both Elitists credit for what they’ve been able to do tonight. I have no idea how this match will go now, and that’s just a testament to-
Persephone: How God-awful they are at wrestling. There’s no reason why anyone should have any trouble against Ryan Wilson, and there’s even less reason why anyone should be struggling against Mary S. Atlas, but it’s like these two are competing to see who could be more untalented! I don’t know why Mary S. Atlas is even in a Championship match. I get that there was some dumb challenge or whatever, but if Captain Charisma actually cared about ratings he wouldn’t put a match like this on his show.
James Peters: Ryan Wilson is walking over towards Mary S. Atlas who’s using the ropes to try and get back up, AND RYAN KICKS MARY IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD! RYAN NOW GRABS MARY FROM BEHIND, AND HE DROPS HER WITH A REVERSE DDT! Ryan Wilson now with the cover on Mary!
ONE!
TWO!!
James Peters: And Mary’s out! At least Ryan tried though. At this point you never know what’ll end the match, especially after Ryan just kicked Mary in the back of the head! You can’t fault him for trying at all!
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson now grabs Mary S. Atlas in a front facelock, AND NOW HE- WAIT NO! MARY S. ATLAS MANAGES TO POWER RYAN WILSON UP, AND SHE DROPS HIM ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Mary S. Atlas somehow managed to power Ryan up top, AND MARY HITS RYAN WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE RYAN COULD TRY TO RESPOND! Mary S. Atlas now beginning to climb up top, and I think she has something in mind, but I couldn’t possibly imagine what it is! There’s a variety of moves Mary could hit from up there, and all of them spell disaster for Ryan Wilson!
Persephone: And if we’re lucky, the end of the match.
James Peters: MARY S. ATLAS IS LIFTING RYAN WILSON UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! MARY IS ON THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND SHE’S FINDING A WAY TO LIFT RYAN UP ONTO HER SHOULDERS! I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE HAS IN MIND, BUT THIS ISN’T A POSITION RYAN WILSON WANTS TO BE IN, NOT IF HE WANTS TO WALK OUT OF VOLTAGE WITH HIS NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP! NOT IF HE WANTS TO LEAVE VOLTAGE AS A MEMBER OF VOLTAGE’S BRAND WARFARE TEAM! THIS MATCH MIGHT BE OVER IN A FEW SECONDS!
Rich Russillo: WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! WHAT IS RYAN DOING!!! RYAN IS SLIPPING DOWN BEHIND MARY- AND HE PULLS MARY DOWN INTO A CRUCIFIX OFF OF THE TOP ROPE!!! WHAT THE HELL!?!?!? WHAT DID RYAN WILSON JUST DO!?!?!? HOW DID RYAN DO THAT!?!? RYAN WILSON JUST HIT MARY S. ATLAS WITH A CRUCIFIX OFF OF THE TOP ROPE, AND NOW BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN!!! RYAN WILSON IS BEING FORCED TO CRAWL OVER TO MARY, AND IF HE COULD ACTUALLY GET TO THE COVER, THIS MATCH MIGHT BE DONE FOR! THERE’S NO WAY MARY IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!!
Persephone: YES!!!! RYAN GOT HIS ARM OVER MARY, NOW HURRY UP AND COUNT!!!! HURRY AND END THE MATCH SO I CAN GO HOME!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Persephone: …
James Peters: MARY S. ATLAS GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!! MARY S. ATLAS IS STILL IN THIS MATCH, RYAN WILSON HAS NOT RETAINED THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! Ryan needed time to crawl over to Mary after he had a rough landing, and that might’ve given Mary just enough time to come to her senses and get the shoulder up! I can’t believe that this isn’t over though, I’m actually in shock!
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson wasn’t even able to really react to what happened there. He thought that this match was gonna be over with, and so did the rest of us. The crowd just exploded seeing Mary get the shoulder up, and I can’t blame them at all. That was unbelievable! This is exactly why Mary said all that she did before this match started! She clearly has what it takes to become the New Breed Champion, and I think Ryan Wilson’s beginning to realize that right now! His title reign might be reaching its end after all, and even I doubted that happening!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson’s pulled himself into the corner, and it’s clear that he’s waiting for Mary to get back up to her feet. This match has been amazing so far, and it’s not done just yet! Mary S. Atlas is somehow still responsive after all that happened in the past few moments, and it looks like she’s actually getting up after all! Ryan Wilson now charging in, AND HE WENT FOR A BOOT TO THE FACE BUT MARY MANAGED TO AVOID IT! RYAN TURNS AROUND, RIGHT INTO A FOREARM FROM MARY! Ryan Wilson is on spaghetti legs- BUT HE RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN!
Rich Russillo: MARY S. ATLAS NOW WITH A FOREARM! NOW RYAN WILSON! NOW MARY! NOW RYAN!
(The crowd boos for Ryan.)
Rich Russillo: NOW MARY!
(The crowd cheers for Mary.)
Rich Russillo: RYAN!
(Boos.)
Rich Russillo: MARY!
(Cheers.)
Rich Russillo: NOW RYAN CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER FOREARM, AND THAT ONE HIT MARY HARD! Mary stumbles back- BUT ONLY BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND HITTING THE SECTUMSEMPRA!!! THE ROLLING ELBOW CONNECTS WITH RYAN WILSON- BUT IT HIT HIM SO HARD THAT HE JUST FELL AND ROLLED UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE OUT OF THE RING! MARY QUICKLY TRIES TO GRAB HIM BEFORE HE FALLS ALL THE WAY OUT, BUT SHE’S TOO LATE!
Persephone: :mjlol2: What an idiot. She had the match won and now she just looks stupid.
James Peters: Ryan Wilson is extremely lucky right now. That very well could’ve been the end of the match, but he was just barely close enough to the ropes for the elbow to send him rolling out of the ring! Mary S. Atlas looks frustrated, but all she can do now is get Ryan back into the ring and finish this match! Mary now rolls out of the ring, and she lifts Ryan up before-
Rich Russillo: BEFORE RYAN QUICKLY GRABS MARY’S HEAD AND DROPS HER WITH A SNAP DDT!!! Both Elitists are down at ringside, and I think Ryan just saw an opportunity and took it! Ryan doesn’t have enough left in him to get back up, but he was at least able to take Mary down with him, and now the referee is being forced to start his count! This might just end in a double count out, and we all know what that means! Ryan Wilson might retain his Championship after all, all because neither competitor can get back up!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE!…. TWO!…. THREE!…
Persephone: I wish referees would count faster. They’re always like one…………. And take a million years to get to two. Hurry up! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, TEN! DING DING DING! RING THE BELL!!
Referee: (off-mic) FOUR!… FIVE!…
James Peters: Both Elitists are slowly starting to stir, and in any other case they’d probably be beating the hell out of each other right now, but I think they’re more focused on getting back into the ring!
Referee: (off-mic) SIX!… SEVEN!…
Rich Russillo: Both Elitists are climbing onto the apron, and Ryan Wilson WOULD retain his title no matter what if either competitor is counted out, but I think Ryan has too much pride to let this match end in any way but him decisively defeating Mary S. Atlas! I don’t know if he’ll get that opportunity though, time is running out!
Referee: (off-mic) EIGHT!…. NINE!…
James Peters: RYAN WILSON IS BACK IN THE RING!!! MARY S. ATLAS NEEDS TO HURRY UP IF SHE WANTS A CHANCE TO WIN THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP-
Referee: (off-mic) TEN!!!!
Rich Russillo: SHE MADE IT!!!!! BOTH ELITISTS ARE BACK IN THE RING JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME, AND STILL BOTH OF THEM NEED TO RECOVER, BUT HAD MARY BEEN A MOMENT SLOWER THEN THIS MATCH WOULD’VE BEEN OVER!
Persephone: Thanks. Now I have another reason to hate Mary S. Atlas.
James Peters: Both Elitists are slowly trying to get back up to their feet, AND MARY HITS RYAN WITH A HEADBUTT, CAUSING THE FANS TO CHEER! RYAN RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT HAND, AND NEITHER OF THEM ARE EVEN ON THEIR FEET YET! These two are both on their knees going back and forth, just so they could try and get the upper hand!
Rich Russillo: Both Elitists finally make it back to their feet, AND RYAN CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! Ryan was targeting that area earlier in the match, and that just caused Mary to drop down to a knee! Ryan now grabs Mary, AND I THINK HE WAS READY TO ATTEMPT LE BOMBE BLEU AGAIN, BUT MARY MANAGED TO FLIP OUT OF IT AND LAND ONTO HER FEET! MARY NOW ATTEMPTS A DROPKICK- BUT RYAN WILSON CATCHES THE LEGS BEFORE TRANSITIONING INTO A BOSTON CRAB!!!
James Peters: Le Crabe du Québec is what Ryan calls this, and in a few moments we might have to call HIM the newest member of Voltage’s Brand Warfare team! Mary S. Atlas is struggling in this submission, she’s fighting as hard as she can to get out of this, but we’ve seen all the damage Ryan Wilson has done to her in this match! After all that damage to the midsection, this Boston crab might be enough to get the job done!
Persephone: I really hope that’s the case. Losing to a boring submission like the Boston crab would be hilarious, but I also just want this snooze-fest to end.
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas is pulling herself towards those ropes, but Ryan Wilson is doing all he can to cause as much pain as possible for Mary! I don’t think Ryan really cares about Mary’s well being here, he has a Championship to defend! Mary S. Atlas is somehow still powering her way towards those ropes though, AND SOMEHOW SHE MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE! SOMEHOW MARY S. ATLAS SAVED HERSELF FROM THE SUBMISSION, A SUBMISSION THAT COULD’VE WON RYAN THE MATCH IF IT WAS LOCKED IN ANY LONGER!
Persephone: :will:
James Peters: Ryan Wilson is forced to let go of the submission, BUT NOT WITHOUT STOMPING ON MARY’S BACK! Ryan Wilson lifts Mary S. Atlas up, and it looks like he’s still in control of this match! Ryan Wilson now lifting Mary S. Atlas up, AND HE PULLS HER UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION! RYAN WILSON NOW GOING FOR A-
Rich Russillo: :krabs: WELCOME TO MARYLAND!!!! MARY JUST JUMPED OFF OF RYAN’S SHOULDERS BEFORE DELIVERING THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER!!! WELCOME TO MARYLAND CONNECTS ON RYAN WILSON!!! WE HAVE A NEW NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!! THAT’S IT, THE COVER BY MARY!!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Persephone: Come on… Why isn’t this match over yet?
James Peters: BECAUSE SOMEHOW, RYAN WILSON MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!! MARY S. ATLAS CAN’T BELIEVE THIS MATCH ISN’T DONE, AND NEITHER CAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE ARENA! RYAN WILSON MANAGED TO KICK OUT OF WELCOME TO MARYLAND!!! THAT’S ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOVES IN MARY’S ARSENAL, AND USUALLY WE DON’T SEE ANYONE SURVIVE THAT MOVE ONCE IT CONNECTS, BUT RYAN IS STILL IN THIS! RYAN WILSON HAS NOT LOST THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP, NOT YET AT LEAST! Mary needs to do something, and fast!
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas is slowly pulling Ryan Wilson up, AND SHE GOES FOR A SECOND WELCOME TO MARYLAND- BUT RYAN CATCHES HER! RYAN WILSON JUST CAUGHT MARY, AND NOW HE PUSHES MARY ONTO HER FEET BEFORE QUICKLY GRABBING HER! MIC DROP!!! RYAN WILSON JUST CONNECTED WITH THE MIC DROP, BUT NOW BOTH ELITISTS ARE DOWN AND OUT! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN-
James Peters: BUT RYAN WILSON IS ABLE TO TURN HIMSELF AROUND AND ON TOP OF MARY! THAT MIC DROP OUT OF NOWHERE JUST HELPED RYAN RETAIN HIS NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!!! THIS MATCH IS OVER!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT!?!?!? HOW!?!? HOW ARE THESE TWO DOING IT!?!?!? MARY S. ATLAS JUST GOT THE SHOULDER UP NOW!!!! HOW!?!???
Persephone: Come on man. This is just excessive, why couldn’t this match have ended like… An hour ago?
James Peters: I don’t think it even started an hour ago.
Persephone: Exactly.
James Peters: Whatever. I honestly don’t even know what to say after Mary S. Atlas managed to kick out of the Mic Drop. This match has been unreal, and this is why Voltage is the greatest brand in the company today. We constantly get fantastic matches like this on the show.
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson is slowly finding his way back up to his feet, and I don’t think he understands how this match isn’t over either. Ryan’s slowly pulling Mary S. Atlas back up to her feet, AND HE HITS MARY WITH A RIGHT HAND! Mary just drops back down to both knees, and I don’t think she can take any more! This match needs to just be put away, Mary might’ve kicked out but she clearly has nothing left in her! It’s sad to say since she’s such a talented competitor, but there’s no way she can continue.
James Peters: Ryan Wilson seems to realize that Mary’s done for too, and now he’s setting up for another Mic Drop- BUT WAIT A MINUTE! MARY S. ATLAS RAMS RYAN WILSON INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, AND BOTH ELITISTS FALL OUT OF THE CORNER AND OUT ONTO THE MAT! MARY JUST SAVED HERSELF! MARY S. ATLAS JUST STOPPED THIS MATCH FROM ENDING, AND I DON’T THINK RYAN WILSON EVEN KNOWS WHERE HE IS! HE JUST HAD HIS BACK SLAMMED INTO THE TURNBUCKLES RIGHT WHEN HE THOUGHT THIS MATCH WAS ABOUT TO END! HOW IS MARY STILL IN THIS ONE!?
Persephone: I wish I knew.
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas gets back up to her feet, and she looks fired up! She’s ready to win this match and become the next New Breed Champion! Ryan Wilson gets back up in the corner, AND MARY CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A RUNNING FOREARM! MARY GRABS RYAN BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF THE CORNER, AND SHE DELIVERS A RUNNING BULLDOG! THE CROWD IS LOVING THIS, AND IN A MATTER OF MOMENTS ALL OF MARY’S HARD WORK MIGHT PAY OFF! MARY RUNS THE ROPES AS RYAN WILSON GETS BACK UP, AND SHE DELIVERS A SINGLE LEG DROPKICK!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson’s back in the corner, AND MARY S. ATLAS CHARGES AT RYAN- BUT SHE’S MET WITH A BACK ELBOW FROM THE CHAMPION! Mary S. Atlas stumbles out of the corner, AND NOW RYAN CHARGES IN WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH- BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! MARY SLIPPED BEHIND RYAN, AND NOW SHE LIFTS HIM UP FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT RYAN CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW! Both Elitists stumble away from each other, AND RYAN GOES FOR A SUPERMAN PUNCH AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME MARY MANAGES TO LAND A BOOT TO THE JAW, KEEPING RYAN AWAY FROM HER!
Persephone: Mary S. Atlas charges in at Ryan because he fell into the corner, and it’s like every single time these two come close to ending the match they just choose not to do it! Something always happens that ruins things for me! Mary tried hitting the 9 Miles or whatever it’s called, and Ryan just HAD to move out of the way!
James Peters: Ryan runs in, BUT MARY’S ABLE TO GET HER FOOT OFF OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE IN TIME, AND THAT ALLOWS HER TO HIT RYAN WITH A FOREARM TO THE JAW! Neither Elitist looks like they’re in very good shape, but I think Mary has something in mind! Mary S. Atlas now gets Ryan in a front facelock, AND SHE TRIES TO LIFT RYAN WILSON UP, BUT RYAN’S ABLE TO BRING HIS FEET BACK DOWN ONTO THE MAT! Ryan used his weight to keep himself down, and now what’s he doing!?
Rich Russillo: RYAN WILSON LIFTS MARY S. ATLAS UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION, BEFORE DELIVERING AN X-PLEX ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! THE BACK OF MARY’S NECK SEEMED TO LAND ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND MARY FELL HARD ONTO THE MAT! THAT WASN’T A GOOD LANDING FOR MARY AT ALL!! MARY S. ATLAS LOOKS LIKE SHE’S OUT OF IT, AND THE FANS DON’T LIKE THIS ONE BIT!
James Peters: I DON’T THINK RYAN WILSON CARES AT ALL ABOUT WHAT THEY LIKE THOUGH! RYAN QUICKLY PULLS MARY AWAY FROM THE CORNER BEFORE LIFTING HER UP, AND NOW THERE’S A SECOND MIC DROP!!! RYAN JUST DROPPED MARY BACK ONTO HER NECK WITH THE SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER, AND THAT’S GOTTA BE IT!! RYAN WILSON IS GOING FOR THE COVER NOW, AND MARY S. ATLAS PUT UP A GREAT FIGHT, BUT THAT’S IT! THIS MATCH IS OVER! THERE’S NO SURVIVING THAT!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner….. ANNNDDDD STILLLL YOUR NEW BREED CHAMPION…. RRRRYYYAAANNNNNNNN WWWIIIIIIILLLSSOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!
(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ hits, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction as Ryan Wilson slowly rolls off of Mary S. Atlas. The crowd was in full support of Mary tonight, but the fans can’t deny how talented Ryan is. As Ryan rolls off of Mary, he’s handed the New Breed Championship, which he takes a few moments to look down at. It was not an easy match, but in the end Ryan Wilson managed to put in the work necessary to retain his Championship. Ryan looks proud of himself as he slowly makes it back to his feet.)
James Peters: It wasn’t the popular decision, but Ryan Wilson did it! Ryan Wilson managed to retain his New Breed Championship even after such an amazing fight put on by Mary S. Atlas! Nobody can deny how talented either of these competitors are, not after a match like that. Mary S. Atlas is definitely Championship material and I’m sure she’ll get her time eventually even if her time didn’t come tonight. On the other hand, it looks like Ryan Wilson is still the Champion, and it definitely won’t be easy for anyone to take this title off of him going forward!
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas put up such a good fight, and I’ll admit I doubted her at first. I may have been right to do so judging by the result, but I made the same mistake Ryan did in underestimating her. She nearly won this match countless times, but at the end of the day it’s not what “almost” happened that really matters. It’s what did happen, and what happened tonight was Ryan Wilson retaining his New Breed Championship! Congratulations to Ryan Wilson, who did an amazing job tonight in retaining his New Breed title!
Persephone: I didn’t care about this match and I definitely don’t care about the result. There’s only one good part about this, and that’s the fact that this show is finally over. Now can we hurry and wrap things up?
James Peters: :wow: Well, congratulations to Ryan Wilson! Some fans may be against him, and most of the Elitists around here are too, but there’s no denying that he earned that title defense tonight! Now it looks like that’s- Wait a second. It looks like Ryan Wilson’s getting a mic :lupe:.
Persephone: Oh hell no. No NO NO! STOP! DON’T GIVE HIM A MIC!
(Just as James said, Ryan Wilson reached out to the time keepers area, and a worker there hands him a microphone, which of course causes some of the fans to boo. As Mary S. Atlas is seen rolling out of the ring to recover, Ryan looks exhausted and in pain, but he still has a smile on his face as he begins to speak.)
Ryan Wilson: Well???? Just like I promised! THE WINNER OF THIS BOUT…. AND STILLLLLL THE NEW BREED CHAMPION, RRYYYYAAANNNNNN WWIIIIIIIIIILLLLLSSOOOONNNNNN!!!!!!!!
(And in the matter of a few words, all of the cheers that were directed towards Ryan after that match are replaced by boos.)
Ryan Wilson: This match was NEVER going to end any other way! I said that I’d retain this Championship, and as expected people doubted me. People thought that my words would come back to bite me, and I’m sure most of you hoped that it’d happen, but of course it didn’t! I’m a genius. I always know what I’m doing, and Mary put up a great fight but that’s not what matters now. We won’t be talking about this match because Mary did good, or because Mary came close, we’ll be talking about it because I’M the one with my hand raised and with this Championship in my hands!
(Ryan holds up the New Breed Championship, causing the crowd to continue booing.)
Ryan Wilson: This New Breed Championship reign won’t end anytime soon, and it doesn’t matter who faces me. My partner in the Tag Team Turmoil Tournament Alex Myers failed. Mary S. Atlas failed. Anybody can step up, and guys like Amir Yusuf could make as many promises as they want, but in the end there’ll only be ONE man standing as the New Breed Champion, and that’s yours truly. This Championship isn’t leaving my side anytime soon, and you all are just going to have to get used to it, because it doesn’t matter if you love me or hate me. It doesn’t matter how many of you want to see me lose this Championship or how many people out there want to see me have the longest reign possible. I will always be the New Breed Champion!..
Ryan Wilson: …That’s not all I have to say though, because if I’m remembering things correctly, there was a bit of a deal made at the beginning of the night.
Persephone: Oh brother…
Ryan Wilson: So… Jamie? You said that the winner of this match would join you and Justin in Brand Warfare. I think it’s time that we go ahead and make this official :drakelike:.
(Ryan Wilson waits for a little while, still breathing heavily after such a competitive match, but finally, ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin [Paratus] hits, causing all of the fans in the arena to begin cheering. Both Jamie O’Hara and Justin Windgate begin walking out with microphones in their hand, and while Justin Windgate doesn’t seem bothered at all, Jamie doesn’t look happy in the slightest to see that Ryan Wilson is the one left standing as the New Breed Champion.)
Jamie O’Hara: :francis:
James Peters: Well here comes Jamie O’Hara and Justin Windgate, and I think we all know that Jamie didn’t want Ryan winning this match, but at the end of the day he’s the one that decided to give the spot to whoever won this match! Jamie can’t really blame anyone for what happened here. Now if Jamie’s a man of his word, we know exactly who the next member of Voltage’s Brand Warfare team is!
Persephone: I mean… I don’t think you could really blame Jamie for betting against Ryan Wilson. Always bet against Ryan Wilson.
Rich Russillo: Jamie and Justin both have microphones in their hands so they clearly have something to say. Ryan Wilson’s been waiting for this moment, and he may have had to fight for it in the end, but if all goes well here then we might have ourselves the next member of team Voltage, and that member could be the New Breed Champion himself!
(Both Jamie and Justin step inside of the ring, and the two Elitists step right in front of Ryan Wilson.)
Ryan Wilson: Well? :adpeek:
Jamie O’Hara: :francis:
Ryan Wilson: I don’t know about you two, but I’m more than thrilled to take part in Brand Warfare. Jamie O’Hara, Justin Windgate, and the NEW BREED CHAMPION HIMSELF! I don’t see how things could go wrong here! If I were Showdown and Dynasty I’d just give up now, because there’s just no way in hell that they even stand a chance against us!
Jamie O’Hara: :francis:
Justin Windgate: :drakelike: How about we go smoke a celebratory joint?
Jamie O’Hara: :francis:
Ryan Wilson: Well, Jamie? What’d ya say?
(Jamie O’Hara sighs, before reluctantly putting his hand out.)
Jamie O’Hara: …Welcome to team Voltage.
Ryan Wilson: :blessed:
(The crowd cheers with some boos being heard as Ryan Wilson shakes Jamie O’Hara’s hand.)
James Peters: Well there you have it! Ryan Wilson is the newest member of Voltage’s Brand Warfare team, standing alongside Jamie O’Hara and Justin Windgate! You don’t have to like Ryan, but we’ve all seen what he’s capable of. In fact, we saw what he was capable of just a few moments ago as he defeated Mary S. Atlas! Ryan is definitely going to end up being a valuable member of this team!
Rich Russillo: I have to agree with you. Ryan Wilson’s become a fantastic competitor and we all know how good he can be when the spotlight is on him! I have to agree with what Ryan said, Showdown and Dynasty are better off just backing down while they still can. There’s just no way that they actually stand a chance at defeating a team like this, and we’re not even done yet!
Persephone: I promise you we do not care. Ryan’s on the team, we get it. Just hurry up and end the show already, I want to get out of here.
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, as always I’m James Peters, and with me is Persephone Tsitsipas and Rich Russillo. Goodnight everybody!
(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ begins to play once again, and Ryan Wilson raises Jamie O’Hara’s arm while Justin Windgate raises Ryan’s. Jamie doesn’t look too pleased, but he did say that the New Breed Champion would be added to the team, no matter who it was. The fans are cheering for the most part thanks to the Voltage Brand Warfare team coming closer to its completion, and as the three men stand inside of the ring, Voltage begins to fade out for the final time.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
