Aiello: Hello and welcome to Season Twenty of Monday Night Brawl! The EWC is in throw-back mode this week as AC/DC blasts over the PA system. Thunderstruck will actually be the theme of BRAWL for the entire season, and it seems like the fans approve. We are coming to you live from the MTS Centre in Winnipeg Manitoba where the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Calgary Flames 2-0 in NHL action just a couple of hours ago thanks to goals from Dustin Byfuglien and Blake Wheeler
Bennett: This arena is still packed and buzzing as thousands are being treated to both events thanks to a unique new partnership between the EWC and Winnipeg Jets hockey team. As Joe mentioned, we are now in our 20th year at the EWC and tonight is jam packed with matches
Carter: That's right Steve. We have some big matches tonight, including a Main Event that pits FSW Champion Amis Shelton against the EWC Champion Xplode. Both men won these titles at last years Wrestlefest XIV and are coming off very big seasons
Aiello: As you can see, the EWC staff and MTS Centre workers are still busy getting the arena ready for tonight's match but things are almost good to go for us tonight. Its an amazing feeling to imagine the EWC has been going since 1997. I mean we are all well aware of the three stoppages throughout the years, but they were small, and add to the legacy that is EWC
The crowd begins to cheer as President Danny Mac makes his way down to the ring wearing a Winnipeg Jets jersey
Bennett: It looks like President Mac is going to kick things off for us in the ring
Aiello: Considering he is from Winnipeg, this was to be expected. I wonder if he will address the rumors that have been circulating as of late ... the board possibly seeking a vote for a new President
President Mac waits for the crowd to die down and then begins to speak
Mac: Boy it feels good to be home
The fans explode with more cheers welcoming home their hero
Mac: We hope we can follow up the winning performance from the Jets tonight, and give you all a show to remember
More cheers and a chant of GO JETS GO starts to erupt arena wide
Mac: Well I have something pretty huge to announce here tonight. As many of you are aware, The International Championship and X-Division Championships are currently vacated. Now many, including BRAWL GM's Matt Silver and Justin Gold were wanting to run a two month long tournament to crown new Champions ... but we've done that too many times over the last twenty years. So tonight ... we are going to do something a little different
The fans begin to murmur with excitement
Mac: Tonight we are going to let fate decide as two of our matches here tonight, will have Championships on the line
A large gasp is heard arena wide
Mac: That's right friends. In just a few short minutes we are going to ask two lucky fans to come on down and spin a wheel in the middle of the ring. Wherever it lands ... that match will have the championship on the line. I call it ... "Wheel of ... Champions"
Mac laughs to himself as the fans get excited at the prospect of being in the middle of the ring here tonight
Mac: Two seats will be picked at random here tonight, the winners will flash on the screen ... when you see your seat number, come backstage and get ready to make history. Tonight ... we crown ourselves a new International Champion and X-Division Champion!
Mac drops the mic to the roar of the fans
Carter: Wow this is incredibly exciting. This is how Mac answers the critics and the board. You want a ratings win? Here you go. Ratings ratings ratings. I don't think this has ever been done before. The EWC has spun many wheels in the past, but never something as substantial as this
Aiello: Ladies and Gentleman it appears Mac is after some ratings gold here tonight, and possibly making an effort to sway the board that Mac is still the best man for the job despite what some deep pocketed idiots have to say. 2017 is going to start off with a major bang in just a few short minutes when ...
The fans stand up and scream as “I stand alone” by Godsmack begins to play! The camera feed instantly pans to the stage area as a man slowly walks out unto the stage, a shiny championship slung over his shoulder! Dressed in a sharp suit, EWC Undisputed Champion, Xplode, nods his head as the fans continue to cheer him on with a standing ovation!
Walking down the rampway, Xplode glances out at the fans. The announcers remain completely quiet out of respect as Xplode arrives at ringside! Stopping with one foot on the stairs, Xplode looks over his shoulder as the fans really get loud now!!
Fans:
Stepping through the ropes, Xplode raises the title over his head as his theme song really kicks in! The fans shake the arena with their responses as a obviously overwhelmed champion says nothing, his eyes looking to be slightly watering.
Fans:
Xplode remains in place, the title held over his head. Finally, he brings it down and places it back over his shoulder! Accepting a microphone, X tries to speak the fans still continue to scream with respect!!
Fans:
Xplode: Alright… let me get a few damn words out, alright?!
The fans scream for a time more as Xplode paces the ring. The responses have really took him by surprise. Turning to stare at the camera, he begins to speak as the fans slowly calm down..
Xplode: Well, it’s been awhile since I stood in this ring as the champion of this federation. We have a lot of new names in that locker room so I am going to do them a solid and introduce my self. For those that don’t know me… my name is XPLODE! I AM THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS… THE LONGEST REIGNING WORLD CHAMPION IN EWC HISTORY… AND YOUR CURRENT EWC UNDISPUTED CHAMPION!!!!! THIS IS 2017 AND YOU BET YOUR ASS THAT THIS IS BRAWL!!!!
The fans let loose once more as the arena literally lights up with excitement!!!
Xplode: Last year, I went on a damn journey that led to me facing the best that this business had to offer! Time and time again, I faced each person, defending my championship with an authority that the industry has NEVER seen! Of course, that whole thing came to an end once I ran into Ashton Drake… the future of the EWC.
Fans:
Xplode: There you go… that’s the responses that I am used to. Anyway, Drake had his time at the top, but it was only temporary. He ended up losing that title to me… as I set the world right once again. So here we are, a new season. I have no doubt that many names will rise through the rankings and step into MY ring… hoping to knock me out of my throne. It won’t happen though.. not again. I am hungrier than I have ever been, and more prepared than anyone has ever seen before. The Era of X will begin again…. And there ain’t a damn thing that anyone can do about it.
Xplode raises the title over his head as the fans cheer.
Xplode: I put this damn title on the map. Every talent in that locker room needs to get down on their knees and kiss my feet for making it possible to compete in this ring. You are looking at the best of the best, and there will never be another like me, and this title… will never leave my possession again until I hang up my boots for good!
The fans scream in approval!
Xplode is cut off by the intro of Separations' "Dream Eater". The fans respond with a mixed reaction of surprise and boos, regardless they know that this theme song belongs to Amis Shelton and he's on his way to confront the EWC Undisputed Champion.
Bennet: Oh, Son o Bitch! It's just gotten real interesting here guys.
Aiello: No kidding, we knew that Amis was set to face Xplode later on in our main event but who would of thought that he'd have the gall to interrupt the EWC Undisputed Champion during his address?
The FSW Champion emerges from behind the curtain looking ready to go, as he's already dressed in his ring attire, with the FSW Championship is draped on his shoulder. The self-proclaimed Real Fuckin' Deal eyes his Destroyer of Worlds counterpart as he strolls down the ramp. Amis climbs the steel steps, picking up a microphone in the process and enters the ring. The fans reaction begins to intensify as both Champions meet in the middle of the ring.
Carter: I don't know about you guys, but I can feel the tension rising.
Aiello: I don't think Xplode was expecting Amis to interrupt him like this, but look at Amis, that is a confident man if I've ever seen one!
Amis re-positions the FSW title onto his right shoulder and raises the microphone to his lips.
Amis FN Shelton: See I heard the rumors, but I thought nothing of them until now. The great Xplode, spent the past week in and out of the hospital. At first, I thought it was just a check-up or maybe a cyst on the back, you know the small stuff. But now that I'm looking at you, I can tell that you're not all there. Did WrestleFest really take that much out of you?
Xplode laughs of the claim, but Amis leans forward.
Amis FN Shelton: I'm going to give you the opportunity right now to pull out of the match, Jaden. Because I'm warning you, whatever it is that's wrong with you? It's only going to get worse by competing with me.
Loud boos fill the arena along chants of "No!". Amis points out to the crowd.
Amis FN Shelton: Don't listen to these people, do you really think they care about what happens to you? I'm a dangerous wrestler X, go all out against me and you can forget StrangleMania, you won't make it to next week. Or, you can do the smart thing, and sit this one out.
Xplode laughs as he leans against the ropes.
Xplode: Are you delusional? I mean.. seriously. Are you so up your own ass that you actually think that we are... equals? I mean, you have a title on your shoulder that has less experience behind it than YOU do! Then we need to think about who YOU have defeated... and where you are in the scheme of things. Look, I know it hurts to hear this but I am just trying to do you a favor here. You may feel strong right now and all powerful, but trust me, the reality of this situation is far different than how you see things. Tonight, I am going to make a damn example out of you. I am going to roll you up, and punt your ass back to that shit promotion that you call home. Then, I am going to go back to doing what I do best.... being king.
Both Amis and Xplode stare at one another as the fans cheer loudly!
Carter: Folks, we need to cut to commercial, but we will be back with that Wheel of Champions and more BRAWL is just a quick moment
Bennett: This arena is still packed and buzzing as thousands are being treated to both events thanks to a unique new partnership between the EWC and Winnipeg Jets hockey team. As Joe mentioned, we are now in our 20th year at the EWC and tonight is jam packed with matches

Aiello: Welcome back to Monday Night Brawl ... in the middle of the ring we have a giant wheel, with every single match placed on it. The two lucky fans will each spin the wheel to determine who will be facing off for a Championship tonight.
Bennett: How interesting would it be if Shelton and Xplode get picked for one of them .. both are champions already, and suddenly something would be on the line. It'd be a ratings dream come true for Mac and the EWC
Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentleman, our first spin of the night will determine who will fight for the EWC X-Division Championship later on tonight ... spinning for us is lucky fan Elias Domi
