Fireworks emit while a fog machine covers the lower decks of the arena in a gold haze! Fans stand up, pumping their fists and raising signs as the camera feed pans to each one of them. One last round of fireworks blast out now, and we turn our attention to Mystery Man, FBI and Colin Hanks
EWC
Mystery Man: After a nine year hiatus .. StableWars is back as a EWC event! Hello and Welcome to Las Vegas and StableWars 2017! We are back with the eleventh installment of StableWars and boy is their a TON at stake here tonight
Hanks: You aren't kidding .. it's only five matches on the docket, but we have over FORTY members of the EWC Roster fighting tonight, including every singles champion! Lets check out some of the tweets talking about tonights show ..
FBI: The Main Event is hyped as fuck and for good reason. Every Singles Champion .. all in one match. The only person missing is the EWC Champion and that's because we currently don't have one. Ace King is currently booked for WrestleFest in December .. but he is waiting for an official opponent .. one has to imagine .. if someone other than Ace King wins tonight's Main Event .. that person will win themselves a ticket to WrestleFest based on the fact they will have out-earned everyone else in one shot
Mystery Man: It's a good point .. President Mac did promise on social media that we would get some clarity on the WrestleFest Main Event tonight ..
FBI: Well there you go .. tonight we shall know all
Hanks: Looking forward to the show, our first match certainly sets the pace as we see Brawl, FSW and Prime all involved in a Mixed Brand Rumble featuring 15 Superstars from those brands. It's really anyone's guess on who will take the match .. if Brands will work together, or if it will be every person for themselves
FBI: Then of course we have the StableWars match itself. Four Stables .. One hellish match. Vegas odds are heavily favoring Legion in this match .. stating the length of time they have been a faction as being the major factor in pulling off the victory.
Mystery Man: We then have the first of two Brand Vs Brand Tag Team Elimination matches .. as Prime and FSW do battle in what could be a show stealing match as the two brands try their damnedest to get noticed
FBI: Then of course we have the tale as old as time .. Brawl Vs Rampage. History has Brawl winning this match more times then not .. in 2007 it was a total beat down from Brawl but 2008 had two Brawl/Rampage/HCW matches on the card .. Brawl and Rampage each winning one. Since then .. lots of back and forth on the brands, but we haven't had a full scale match like this in some time. With Ace King and Shelley Silver leading the charge .. Vegas as Rampage as huge favorites.
Hanks: Which takes us to our Main Event. The ever hyped all Champions match. Not just a match .. a Doomsday Cage Match .. triple the cage, triple the fun. This match has been all over social media the past few weeks. It's been trending the entire weekend and all day today. Ace King and Otaki has especially been active .. here are a couple of tweets from them
Mystery Man: The time to tweet and talk is soon to be over .. it's StableWars and we ..
There is a huge uproar of cheers from the fans when "Coming Undone" begins to blast over the PA system signalling the entrance of EWC President .. Danny Mac .. following close behind him is Brawl General Manager .. Victor Price
Mystery Man: Well look at that .. it seems President Mac will be making an early entrance here tonight .. and Victor Price is with him? This is a very big surprise .. lets listen in as he's now in the ring
Mac: Good Evening Las Vegas .. and welcome to StableWars
Mac pauses as cheers begin to reign down on him from the sold out T-Mobile Arena
Mac: I promised everyone on Social Media that I would make it very clear who Ace King will be facing for the EWC Undisputed Championship at WrestleFest .. there have been rumors circulating all over the internet for the past week or so. Some Wrestlers took it upon themselves to voice an opinion who they thought the shot was going to .. I haven't confirmed or denied any reports .. not even to Victor Price here who has been hounding me for an answer .. even calling the board behind my back .. I haven't said a peep .. until now
Cheers again reign down from the crowd as Victor shakes his head and then stares at Mac very annoyed
Mac: Before I bring out the person who will face Ace King at WrestleFest .. I do want to make it perfectly clear .. it is and has always been my intention to reward the Winner of tonight's Main Event. Every current singles Champion .. all in one ring .. all in one match .. the winner needs to get something right? I mean .. aside from the bragging rights .. well .. I have one with a second possible reward for the winner
FBI: Here we go
Mac: Firstly .. the winner will receive a bonus of $1,000,000.00 ..
Huge pop from the crowd .. Victor again shakes his head .. asking Mac to hurry up with the announcement
Hanks: Wow .. that's huge!
Mac: Secondly .. and this really only applies to anyone not named Ace King .. but whoever wins that match .. they will book themselves a ticket to WrestleFest and face off against Ace King and the person I am about to announce in a few seconds
FBI: Boom .. called it
The fans cheer loudly again
Mac: So are you ready to find out who is going to WrestleFest?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Mac: Price .. you ready?
Victor rolls his eyes as Mac grins
Mac: Without further ado .. ladies and gentleman .. please give it up .. for the person who will face off against Ace King at WrestleFest ..
Everyone in the Arena is now on their feet. Waiting. Watching.
The arena becomes deathly silent … Price leans on the ropes trying to get a view
As the camera pans to the stage area there is a strong sense of uncertainty in the atmosphere. The fans begin to mumble amongst themselves.
“The Sound of Madness” BEGINS TO PLAY… SENDING THE ENTIRE ARENA INTO A FRENZY!!!!!
The arena lights shift to the left and we see a lone figure making his way through the crowd!! The arena erupts from the cheers as the figure reaches the crowd barrier!! Hopping to ringside…. DRAKE HAS RETURNED!!!
Mac: Ladies and Gentlemen … Drake.
With the fans still losing it, Drake smirks and nods his head. He walks towards the metal steps and into the ring. He looks slimmed down, chiseled, and rejuvenated!
Accepting a microphone from the EWC President, Drake raises a fist. This causes the fans to chant:
DRAKE!!
DRAKE!!!
DRAKE!!!!
DRAKE!!!
DRAKE!!
Drake glances at President Mac and shakes his hand. Mac then pulls out some paper from inside his suit jacket .. hands Drake a pen .. Drake signs it and hands the pen back .. Drake then arches his head and smiles at Victor Price. Raising the microphone, he speaks…
Drake: Aren’t you going to welcome me home, sweetie?
Price is beside himself as Drake laughs. The fans continue to cheer.
Drake: Oh.. you must have thought that the little game between us is over? Not by a long shot. I am back… home. Gather your wits and put your chess pieces into place, because I am back for what belongs to me … the EWC Undisputed Championship Belt.
The fans stand up and cheer uncontrollably as Price glares at Drake..
Drake: Oh…. And in case you need some motivation … let me help you out.
Drake suddenly drops the mic and kicks Price in the gut!
He then spins around and nails the Maximum Overdrive, knocking Price right out!!!
Rising to his feet, Drake nods at Mac and exits the ring! His theme song continues to play as he heads up the ramp-way, slapping the hands of the outstretched fans!!!
Mac walks over to Price who is laid out on the mat .. kneels down to Price's face and whispers in his ear
Mac: Game .. Set .. Match
Mystery Man: Unbelievable .. Drake is back in the EWC and has signed what I am being told in my ear is a 1 year exclusive contract .. Price will not be happy, but the fans sure are. This is a massive win for Mac, for the EWC and the entire Wrestling world. Drake is back .. the Champ is back .. We will be back with more StableWars .. right after this quick message from EWCTV
The fans continue to chant and cheer as we fade out

PRE-RECORDING
NOVEMBER 7TH 2017 @ 1:15AM
The Camera cuts back Monday November 7th .. a few hours after Brawl had aired and we're instantly transported to the back of Danny Mac's limo. He's alone as he quickly texts a few things on his phone. The door opens and in sits the Rebel, Melinda Rhodes, looking a bit worse for wear after her match and dressed plainly in jeans, boots, and an old Zepplin T-shirt.
Rebel: You wanted to see me, Mac?
Mac nods
Mac: Hey yeah .. thanks for meeting me tonight .. so luck wasn't on your side tonight hey?
Rebel: You could say that.
Mac: I've been watching this over and over .. and I wanted you to check it out ..
He holds his phone up to Melinda. She squints her eyes a bit and looks at it.
Rebel: It's just me in mid air, blowing the match. What am I looking at?
Danny chuckles and waves his hand at her, then points at the picture again.
Mac: Nah nah nah, look at the zoom in there at the Middle rows .... what do you see?
Melinda leans back in and her eyes go wide.
Rebel: That's.....
Mac: Ashton Drake, the Vengeful One himself. Now here's what I want to do, Mel. I want to pass a rumor around about you impressing me so much with that big Corkscrew Shooting Star Press you pulled, that I put you in the main event against Ace King at Wrestlefest. I want to do this for two reasons, one, I want to see Vic squirm and start plotting some plan against me and you .. and secondly, I don't want him or anyone else knowing what I really have planned.
The EWC President leans in a bit, then points right at the camera, the Rebel following his pointing finger.
Mac: At least not until I want him to, heh heh heh. I am working on a deal to bring Ashton Drake back home .. and I plan on having him face Ace King at Wrestlefest for the Championship he never lost in the first place .. Think you can do me a solid and help a President out?
Melinda thinks about it for a moment, then shoots him a sly smirk.
Rebel: Sure thing. If nothing else, it might even get Pickle Vick off my back for a hot minute, make him think about what he's doing.
She raises her fist up. Mac fist bumps Rebel's knuckles and chuckles.
Mac: Right on and hey, whatever you're thinking, you did great out there. Don't let nobody tell you any different. Your timing gotcha' killed, but you impress every time you go out to that ring. Don't sweat the small stuff and if anyone gives you shit about it, just let it roll down your back and store it up for a rainy promo.
Rebel: Thanks Mac. I think I know just how to play this up too....
Mac: Alright, I'm looking forward to it oh and one more thing.
Rebel: Yeah?
Mac: Your time is coming right around the corner. Don't slip and there could be big things for you down the pike ... like say ... Hardcore Revolution in January .. but you have to earn that shit at the Brawl Finale .. now go on. You got a flight to catch in a few hours.
Melinda opens the door with a smile.
Rebel: Alright, see you at StableWars, Boss.
Mac: Call me Danny, Mel.
The Rebel chuckles.
Rebel: Danny it is.
She gives a little salute and slips out of the car.
Mac: Yeah ... this is gonna' be good...
He immediately gets on the Phone as the scene fades out
BACKSTAGE
The feed continues backstage, and the crowd roars as Ace King walks through the backstage area en route to a meeting with his Rampage teammates. He adjusts his Rampage t-shirt, then pulls his phone out of his pocket. He goes to check his messages, but accidentally opens Photos instead. He starts scanning through quickly, but something catches his eye; a wry smirk crosses his face.
Ace King: My man!
The camera pans out to reveal PRIME Superstar El Pablo; the Las Vegas crowd explodes, as they know the significance of what’s happening. Almost immediately, a boisterous ‘5-S-G!’ chant echoes through T-Mobile Arena for the tag team formerly known as The Five-Star Gamblers. The best friends pause to absorb the applause, then perform an elaborate sequence of hugs and hand gestures so awesome that describing it here would literally do it, just, the worst disservice. Once concluded, EP casts a cautious eye over his shoulder.
EP: Yo, you know we're both gonna get fined for this, right?
Ace raises an eyebrow, but realization kicks in as EP unzips the front of his sweater to reveal a PRIME t-shirt. The Gambler smirks.
Ace King: That's your buddy Marshawn Lynch's thing. Anyway, it's not like we're fighting each other tonight, so it's cool. Plus, you know what they say about things that happen here, right?
A predictably cheap pop after that statement from the hometown favourite, whose smirk fades just a little bit.
Ace King: Anyway, you're just the guy I wanted to see. As you may or may not have heard, I've had a bit of an issue with people spitting in my face lately, and I think you might be able to help me out.
EP looks at Ace quizzically as he thumbs through his photos to produce one of 'The Technicolour Tecnico' from almost a decade ago.
Ace King: ...Do you still have these goggles?
EP stares at the photo for several seconds, making neither sounds nor movement.
EP: ...Who is that?
Ace's eyes narrow, though his eyebrows are both raised.
Ace King: Uhhh, Pabs? Remember... Five-Star Superstar... PX Revolution... Team XTC... Hell, I even looked like this...
He continues to scroll through his phone, finding an image of himself from a decade ago...
EP: Oh!
‘The Technicolour Tecnico’ recoils in horror, as Ace offers a slight grimace.
Ace King: Glad I got out of that phase, but anyway... Do you have the goggles or not?
EP: Look Ace, I know we're buddies and all - Kinder Egg Spirits, some might say...
Ace King: Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about that-
EP: ...but I honest to Yeezus have no idea what you're talking about!
Ace King: I'll trade you a pack of Skittles for them.
EP's eyes narrow.
EP: Okay, this isn't Scooby Doo, alright? You can't just butter me up with nutritious snacks and expect me to suddenly go along with whatever dick-amamy scheme you've-
Ace King: A pack of Skittles and I don't bring up your ex-fiancee.
EP: My man!
EP suddenly whips a pair of those very same goggles out from behind his back, an exaggerated grin on his masked face as he tosses them to Ace, who just shakes his head in disbelief. True to his word, he reaches into his pocket and retrieves a bag of the promised rainbow currency for his friend.
Ace King: Like taking candy from a...
El Pablo tilts his head at his friend, who freezes, then thinks better of it.
Ace King: ...Never mind. Anyway, thanks for these, and Viva La Rainbowlution!
EP: Viva La Bet On It!
EP raises a thumb to his buddy, who just shakes his head with a chuckle as he turns to leave.
Ace King: Good to see you, Pabs - best of luck tonight!
EP: Give 'em heck, champ!
With a simple nod, both men take their leave; Ace puts the goggles on his head, then pushes forward in the direction of the Rampage locker room as we cut to our first match of the night
MATCH 1
MIXED BRAND
BATTLE ROYAL
OVER THE TOP 15 PERSON BATTLE ROYAL
MIXED BRAND
BATTLE ROYAL
OVER THE TOP 15 PERSON BATTLE ROYAL
Mystery Man: Well a whole lot has gone down already tonight folks .. but its time for our first match of the night .. Let’s go down to the ring, where the combatants are more than ready to get this thing started.
Dobrev: Ladies and Gentlemen this is your opening contest and is a mixed brand battle royal!
YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!
DING DING DING
As expected the match immediately breaks into all madness as soon as Nina Dobrev is out of the ring.
Mystery Man: We will try to keep up with the action folks! But this is going to be something to behold.
Hanks: Everyone in this match wants to show that not only is THEIR brand the strongest, but that they should be seen as number one overall.
FBI: Don’t fool yourself Hanks, there is going to be no friends in this match. Yeah every brand is represented, except Rampage… Which is odd. But those guys in the ring want to be that number one guy, no matter which brand they are from.
Before FBI even finishes his sentence Blade eliminates Christian Malice, by knocking him off the top rope!
Mystery Man: And we have our first elimination!
FBI: Yeah, probably wanna stay off the Turnbuckle in this match… Especially with so many people in there.
*Blade Eliminates Malice*
With Malice eliminated, the brawl continues inside the ring. We get zoomed in on a particular double team happening near the edge of the ring! Grunge and Knives seem to be working together to try to eliminate Chris Chambers! Chambers is trying to hold on for all he is worth, but Knives and Grunge toss him over the top rope but Chambers manages to hold on, and falls on the apron! But suddenly Grunge and Knives both doge out of the way when Carlos Ruiz comes bouncing off the opposite side of the ring at insane speed and nails a baseball slide to Chambers knocking him off the apron and eliminating him!!!
Mystery Man: And Christopher Chambers has been eliminated!
*Chambers is Eliminated by Ruiz*
Hanks: We told you this was going to be wild and crazy! They always are when everyone starts in the ring!
But Carlos gets up proud of his elimination but doesn’t have much time to celebrate as Grunge and Knives hit him with a double clothesline for his troubles! Completely caught off guard the clothsline rolls Carlos over the top rope!
Mystery Man: And just like that Carlos Ruiz is gone!
*Ruiz is Eliminated by— NO!*
FBI: No… He’s got one hand hanging on the top rope! His feet have not touched the floor!
Carlos holds on for dear life, swinging his other hand trying to grab the top rope. Knives and Grunge have since turned on each other and are now battling it out in the middle of the ring! Carlos manages to get his other hand on the rope, and skins the cat back into the ring! But Sarah Twilight is hoping to catch Carlos napping again and comes at him with a head of steam, but at the very last minute Carlos ducks down holding the top rope, and Twilight ends up rolling over the top rope and to the floor!!!
Mystery Man: We went from what looked like one elimination to the next! Carlos has just eliminated Sarah Twilight!
*Sarah Twilight is Eliminated by Ruiz*
Moving to a hard camera shot of the ring we get a good look at the insanity taking place, but the camera quickly moves to back to where Sarah Twilight was eliminated! Bane has Lancer above his head in a show of strength and he tosses him over the top rope with ease! Lancer lands on Twilight both of them crashing down to the floor!
Mystery Man: There is no denying the power of Krystian Bane!
FBI: He picked up Lancer and tossed him over like he was nothing!
*Bane Eliminated Lancer*
Bane lets out a roar after his show of strength, and Ian Icon comes over and throws some punches at Bane! It’s has very little effect as Bane grabs Icon by the neck and throws him over the top rope! But as Bane leaves, Icon managed to grab onto the top rope and hold on! He lands on the ring apron and rolls back inside!
Hanks: What a close one for Icon!
FBI: It certainly looks like Bane is going to be a force to be reckoned with!
Bane turns around and walks right into Frater! Bane towers over Frater!
Mystery Man: Oh, don’t speak too soon, Frater doesn’t look the least bit intimidated by Bane.
The two begin exchanging lefts and rights! We move to another part of the ring where Nasir The Great and Billy Michell are going toe to toe! Michell sends Nasir into the ropes with an Irish Whip! Returning to Michell, Billy hooks Nasir and hip tosses him over the top rope! But Nasir manages to hold on! He looks to hit a shoulder block through the middle rope, but Michell dodges it and hits THE SHIT KICKER! And a completely limp Nasir falls off the apron to the floor below!
Hanks: Holy Shit!
FBI: You’re not kidding Michell’s Shit Kicker just knocked Nasir the great the fuck out!
Mystery Man: And we are another man down inside the ring, as Nasir the Great is sent back to the locker room!
FBI: When they can wake him up…
*Michell Eliminates Nasir The Great*
The camera zooms back and we get another great shot of the madness happening inside the ring! After a few moments we zoom in on Ian Icon and Carlos Ruiz going at it. They trade lefts and rights back and forth, neither giving an inch! When John Blade comes running in from off screen looking for a diving double clothsline, but Ian and Carlos both see him at the same time and they both eliminate John Blade by delivering a double back body drop and John Blade hits the arena floor flat on his back! Blade, furious slaps the apron and tries to get back inside the ring, but the ref’s stop him, as an argument ensues.
Mystery Man: Well John Blade had a heck of a showing, I can’t say I blame him for trying for the double elimination, but Ian and Carlos both saw it coming!
FBI: Get John Blade off the ring…
Hanks: He has to know the rules of a battle royal.
FBI: Does he though? John Blade? Does he know the rules?
*Icon and Ruiz Eliminated John Blade*
Mystery Man: we told you we are gonna try to keep track of the action as best we can fans! But don’t look now but it looks like we have imminent eliminations happening on opposite sides of the ring!
On one side it looks like Grunge is about to Eliminate Knives, and on the other we have Gully and Larson working together to try to eliminate Bane!
Mystery Man: Shocking indeed but don’t blink because—
Grunge has Knives by the throat! Trying to force him over, Knives legs swinging trying to save himself he manages to kick Grunge square in the crotch!
FBI: OHH! Right between the goal posts!
Knives back on his feet, still alive he turns around and waves for Grunge to look at him! As soon as Grunge turns around he is met with a perfectly timed Superkick that sends him over the top!!!
Mystery Man: What a shocking turn of events! It certainly looked like Knives was headed over the top!
Hanks: Never underestimate the power of the great equalizer.
*Knives Eliminated Grunge*
FBI: I think it’s gonna take a little more then Gully and Larson to eliminate Bane…
As it looks like Gully and Larson nearly have Bane teetering on the top rope, he hammers back on the two and they stumble off as Bane ends up back on his feet, just in time for FRATER PERDURABO to nail Bane with a speeding dropkick to the face! Bane is sent rolling over the top rope!
FBI: I don’t believe it! I mean I knew Frater wasn’t intimidated by Bane, but I never thought that he would eliminate the big man!
Hanks: Bane has seven inches on Frater!
*Bane is Eliminated by Frater*
Before they can get done talking about how shocked they are about Bane’s elimination, Frater sprints across the ring and hits Knives with the same dropkick, and Knives is sent over the top!!!
Hanks: Frater is ON FIRE right now!
*Frater Eliminated Knives*
Ian Icon and Billy Michell are going at it, and Icon hits Michell with a hammerlock DDT! Icon gets up to see Gully charging him, and he just steps out of the way and sends Gully over the top rope! But Gully holds on and lands with two feet on the apron. Icon runs and hits Gully in the gut with a running boot, doubling him over but Gully doesn’t leg go of the ropes, he tries to enter back in through the middle but Icon jumps right on it and delivers the ICONOCLASM!!! As Icon gets back to his feet, a dazed Hatchet Gully falls off the apron!
Mystery Man: The Iconoclasm! That’s all she wrote for Hatchet Gully!
FBI: Early on it looked like Icon was napping in this match, but he really seems to have found his groove!
*Ian Icon Eliminated Hatchet Gully*
Coming up from behind Icon, James Larson nails the CHAIN BREAKER!!!
FBI: Maybe I spoke too soon…
As Larson stands up, he is hit out of nowhere with SPANISH EYES from Carlos Ruiz!!! Larson is sent flying over the top rope! He rolls to his feet, once he hits the arena floor, but is so dazed he stumbles backwards into the guard rail!
*Carlos Ruiz Eliminated James Larson*
Mystery Man: Ladies and Gentlemen we are down to the final four! And believe it or not… There is a member of each brand still standing.
FBI: Except Rampage…
Hanks: Yeah… Where were those guys?
Mystery Man: Frater and Michell representing Brawl, Ian Icon representing FSW, and Carlos Ruiz representing Prime!
The match suddenly stops for a moment as the final four stare each other down. Suddenly Frater and Michell apparently representing team Brawl, each attack one of the others! Michell is going toe to toe with Ian Icon and Frater with Ruiz! Michell battles Icon back into the corner, and delivers blow after blow to the FSW star! Until Michell backs up, and Icon comes stumbling out of the corner and is met with the SHIT KICKER!!!
Mystery man: OHHH! There it is again! Icon looks to be OUT COLD!
Michell grabs the limp Icon and drags him over to the ropes. He leans him on the top rope, and tries to dead lift the limp Ian Icon over the top. Meanwhile Frater who went after Ruiz has had the tables turned when Frater looks for his dropkick once again but Ruiz catches him mid air and turns him over in the CANGREJO ESPANOL!!!
FBI: You can’t win the match that way!
Hanks: No, but it sure is effective!
As Ruiz holds Frater in his spanish crab in the middle of the ring, Michell almost has Icon over the top rope, but he is starting to come-to and he grabs Michell in a head lock!
Hanks: OH! It looks like if Icon goes out… Michell is coming with him!
Michell fights it, but can’t break free! They both go over the top! But each of them land on the ring apron! Ruiz sees his opportunity and lets go of Frater, he heads over to Michell and Icon who are brawling on the apron, grabs both of them by the hair and forces them together with a meeting of the minds! Both stumble back, but they hold onto the top rope! But out of nowhere Frater comes and nails Luz Autem Semita! THE PATH OF LIGHT to the back of the head of Ruiz and he rolls over the top to the floor below!!! Ruiz holds the back of his head as he rolls over to a seated position.
Mystery Man: And that is it for Prime! It’s now Two Brawl members against one FSW!
*Frater Eliminated Carlos Ruiz*
With Ian Icon and Michell on the ring apron, they both watch as Frater takes a few steps back and waves for them to get in the ring. He looks to the sky and opens his arms in a taunt all too familiar from his normal ring entrance. Icon quickly gets in the ring, and goes after Frater! Michell stands on the ring apron, seemingly taking a breather. Icon goes to level Frater with a massive clothsline that is ducked by Frater! Icon turns around, and is met with right hand after right hand by Frater, he grabs his wrist and sends him into the ropes! As he hits the ropes, in a sign of unity to get Brawl as the final two Michell grabs Icon from behind for Frater who runs looking for his PATH OF LIGHT! But Icon ducks it at the last minute! Frater hits Michell and he goes flying off the apron!
*Frater Eliminated Michell*
Shocked Frater stands motionless for a moment, but Icon is under Frater and lifts up and sends Frater over the top rope and he lands on Michell!!!
*Icon Eliminated Frater*
Hanks: I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!!
The crowd ERUPTS in a round of BOOOS!!!
BOOOOOOO!!!
DING DING DING
DING DING DING
Icon falls to his knees, screaming YEEEES!!! In victory!
Mystery Man: Love him or hate him, Ian Icon is the winner of the mixed brand battle royal! And you have to believe that this should move him to the top of the ranks in FSW.
FBI: I don’t know how he did it… but that bastard stayed in there.
Nina Dobrev: Here is your winner of the Multi Brand Battle Royal… IAN ICON!!!
BOOOOOOOO!!!
Icon stands up looking into the camera, shaking his head.
Hanks: It looks like Icon doesn’t understand why these fans aren’t happy for him.
FBI: I don’t know… Maybe cuz he cowardly prick of a human being?
BACKSTAGE
The camera fades in on a cleaned up .. deep in thought Victor Price who is also nursing a hurt gut and head
Price: So that son of a bitch thinks he can walk out here and make a fool of me .. the two of them .. like this is some kind of fucking game .. game set match .. the balls on those two
Price rolls his eyes, leans back in his seat
Price: Its time to put things into motion .. I am not about to lose control all over again ..
The Brawl GM hits a speed dial on his phone as the camera drawing in to focus on his cold expression.
Price: It's time .. I'm ready to do what needs to be done .. lets blow shit up
Price slams the phone down as the camera pans out

FATAL FOUR-WAY TAG TEAM
STABLEWARS
LEGION
VS SMILE
VS CIRCLE
VS THE REVENANTS
Mystery Man: Yikes .. Price is not happy .. what else is new .. Well here we go folks .. its the match that is the claim to fame for these storied StableWars pay-per-view events. An all out war between the factions of the EWC. In years past we have seen some incredible matches .. tonight will be no exception .. we are in for a War!
Dobrev: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS A FATAL FOURWAY STABLE WARS TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!! INTRODUCING THIS TEAM FIRST....
From behind the curtain in single file comes men dressed in black/grey gis with black masks, red headbands with turtle shell drums strapped to their chests. They line up single file on either side of the rampway standing in silence as the crowd grows restless. The final ninja drummer comes out, standing at the top of the stage. He is dressed differently, wearing more of a garb/robe with a nice shiny bald head with no mask. It is obviously Jeff Noon with a bald cap on. Fog begins to pour out from under the stage, filling the arena with a foreboding mist.
“If it bleeds...we can kill it…”
“I ain’t got time to bleed.”
Suddenly the opening chords of “Paint It Black” By The Rolling Stones begins to play, but then suddenly drowns out in a slowed down manner. The drummers kick in, beating down hard on their turtle shell drums with all the force of an oncoming thunderstorm.
The drums intensify getting more fervent and powerful with each coming wave. The fog is now a thick smoke covering the whole rampway, suddenly from the behind the curtain off stage to the right comes the sound of a revving engine. Through the curtain pushes a giant tank with a circular dome cut out of TMNT’S Technodrome atop it!
Atop the suped up cosplaying Techodrome tank are three familiar figures if one were to follow a certain group of adolescent turtles who practiced ninjitsu after mutation. Oh no, these weren’t a bunch of heroes in a half shell, it was a collection of like minded individuals who wished to dine upon turtle soup! The three figures were one of a giant technicolor boar, a military fatigue wearing rhino and a razor sharp samurai half garbage disposal!
Carpenter Brut’s “Turbo Killer” begins to pulse over the PA System as the drummers play back up support echoing the trancey madness!
As soon as the keys kick in, red laser lights dancer around the arena, flickering purple strobe lights filling the darkness as well. Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady stand at the top of the tank, pointing up to the top of the Technodrome that has 4 Massive Turtle Shells hung from the top. Each shell has Orange, Red, Blue, and Purple bandanas with swords, nunchakus, staff and sais danging under each shell. On the shells scribbled in white spray paint are the names “KOBK” “SMILE” "LEGION” and “CIRCLE.”
GO. FORTH. TURBO. KILLER.
GO. FORTH. TURBO. KILLER.
The mechanical voice echoed as the haunting organ keys play as the trio all slowly bob and weave slowly to the music. Bebop and Rocksteady rip off their foam heads and reveal themselves to be Keith Williams and Rob Garcia respectively. As the keys draw to a close, Shredder removes his helmet revealing Neo James Carner! They all point behind them at the Technodrome cutout which opens up revealing Dino The Chimp as KRANG! The music kicks into overdrive as the ReVs all shuffle, gyrate and pelvic thrust to the beat.
Nina: “Hailing from the sixth largest economy in the world, California! Weighing in at a combined weight of seven hundred and thirty seven pounds! KEEEITHH WILLIAMSSS, ROBBB GAAAARCIA and the EWC Television Champion...NEOOOOO JAMES CARRNERR!!! They are, The REVENANTS!”
The ReVenantS throw one hand each above their heads, making a V hand gesture as they then begin to pump their arms into the air in tune to the beat of the “Turbo Killer.” Stripping off their costumes revealing their ring gear as they hop off the tank and casually stride down the aisle. Keith Williams fakes folks out with false handshakes, Rob Garcia goes out of his way to hug the thicc ladies in the front row. Neo James Carner admires his own face in the gold face plate of his championship. Keith and Rob walk over to Neo, admiring themselves in the gold as Rob touches it longingly. The ReVs all point towards the ring and head straight for it. Ready to handle business and put the games, name calling and showboating to the side. It was time for the ReVs to wrestle! The three men stand in single file in the center of the ring as the music slowly fades out, the Foot Clan turtle shell drummers play a dramatic rapid fire close as the three men stand with arrogant smirks on their face. Neo James Carner grabs a microphone and stands to the left of Keith and Rob.
NJC: “Later on this evening, you will see me reign supreme as I enter the Doomsday Triple Cage where I will meet any of those so could participants face to face and I will scream “I WILL RULE YOU!” In the main event, I will knock off all of those faux crowns off those pauper’s heads! I will become the true King Of Infinity, the King Of Crowns! That’s later tonight though, now? Now you’re about to witness the rise of the only faction in this company that matters.”
Keith grabs the microphone for a brief moment.
Keith: “Without us, would there even be a reason for StableWars? We are the reason StableWars was even made an event! This whole Pay Per View was made for the demand of what we SUPPLY!”
Keith shakes his head.
Keith: “Before us, there wasn’t a faction that mattered. You think anybody ever thought Legion was a threat before? Do they even now? Will they ever if we beat them down tonight?”
Keith hands the microphone to Rob.
Rob: “None of these other factions have Rob Garcia, who is the owner of the hottest undefeated streak in EWC history. My streak trends on twitter, especially in the India market. If any of these other so called horse STABLES were smart, they’d have me in their faction just as an insurance policy. Sadly for them, I’m apart of the only Stable that matters…”
The trio all yell into the microphone.
Rob/Neo/Keith: “THE REVENANTS!”
Neo chucks the microphone out of the ring as they all saunter over to their respective corner to start the match.
Dobrev: NEXT WE HAVE....
From a dead silence we hear hear the distorted voice say
"Our name is Legion, for we are many..."
"Our name is Legion, for we are many..."
Cutting directly to "Enter Sandman" by Metalica, at "Hush little baby don't say a word" it roars through the arena, as smoke fills the stage, to mostly boos from the sold out arena. After a few moments the smoke dissipates, revealing Legion standing tall. Luke Wolfe, Annabelle, Olivia, and Gabriel Martin standing center stage from left to right. The three soak in the crowd reaction, each in their own way as they slowly look back at one another. They each make their way down the ramp at their own pace, with Luke leading the way.
Dobrev: from everywhere across the globe, LEGION!!!
At the base of the ring, the four stand as one staring down their opponents. Slowly each of them get on the apron, each on one side of the ring, and slowly enter. The ladies enter first, Annabelle sliding under the bottom rope like a snake, and Olivia flipping over the top rope landing on her feet.
Gabriel and Luke each ascend a turnbuckle while Annabelle stands in the center of the ring.
The three step down, as the three members competing stay in the ring, and the remainder go to the back on orders from the General Manager.
Dobrev: OUR NEXT CONTESTANTS ARE...
The lights in the arena go out and a soft chime can be heard as a soft yet sinister red glow rises on the stage, seemingly pulsating. Red, orange and black cinders appear to gently fall from the skies as several robed figures slowly make their way onto the stage, ringing large bells in unison, the chimes growing louder before the opening bars to "Reign of the Dark" finally kick in. Moments later, Samael Scrybe - adorned in his regal eastern robes - makes his entrance, the Book held tightly to his chest as he stops centre-stage.
Dobrev: Making their way to the ring, representing the Circle and accompanied by Samael Scrybe, Herald of He That Is Coming... RUST STILLETTO, GRIZZLY DUGGAN, AND CCCCHHHEEEYYYYENNE!!
They enter the stage and stop before Scrybe, who holds the open Book out between them as if reading them a passage. Then he turns slightly on his heel and points down the ramp to the ring, a silent instruction they readily obey as all make their way to the ring, though Rust offers a bit of a smirk towards Scrybe in passing. Samael follows behind the trio
They climb into the ring, Duggan widening the middle and top ropes to allow Samael easier access as the wrestlers make their way to separate corners and mount the turnbuckles. Scrybe takes the microphone from Debrov, waits for the boos to die down, and speaks.
Samael Scrybe: Bear witness, children of the modern world, as forces beyond your reckoning and understanding wreak havoc on the false "heroes" you love and respect so highly. The Circle is the unending, unstoppable, inevitable process of life, death, rebirth... creation, destruction, reconstruction. We will tear down your idols one by one and rebuild your world in our image. We are the Circle, we welcome all, and we will never die.
He then passes the microphone back to Nina and exits the ring. It's then that we notice that Grizzly Duggan isn't acting like his normal, abrasive self. Upon his forehead was the mark of the Circle's insignia, his eyes glassed over. He has to be directed onto the apron by Cheyenne. Meanwhile, Rust Stilletto stands front and center in their corner, unmoving, unnerving, his eyes rolled back in his head. His hands remain at his sides, open, claw like, and quivering. Slowly, his painted lips split with a crazed, psychotic grin before his eyes snap back to survey each and every person in the ring as if they were a piece of meat for the hunters feast. His hands no longer shook, his poise like that of a statue, perfectly, chillingly still...
Dobrev: AND FINALLY...
'One Missed Call (2008) Theme' plays as the lights go dark. As the beat drops at around the thirty seven second mark the curtains are brushed to the side, smoke spewing out from behind the curtains, and out walks Stitches. A wide, red-painted Chelsea-esque grin is across the face of Stitches as he stares out at the crowd of people before him.
At either side of him step out Prince and Chuckles. Prince throws his arms out at his sides with an evil sneer on his face. Chuckles puts his hands on his hips and bellows with sinister laughter.
Stitches and crew methodically make their way down the ramp, staring down the crowd members who dare lean too far over the crowd barricade. As he reaches the bottom of the ramp he stops and once again looks out at the crowd of people before him. Stitches approaches the nearby steel stairs, climbs up onto the apron and begins walking the edge of the apron like a tight rope before reaching the nearby ring post. Stitches climbs up onto the second rope and throws his arms out wide for the crowd to embrace him. As expected, the crowd does not embrace a sinister-looking clown.
Prince and Chuckles slide into the ring and scoff at the crowd.
Stitches hops down from the rope and enters into the ring before approaching the nearby corner of the ring. Stitches turns around and slips onto the apron along with Chuckles, Prince stands in his corner, waiting for the bell to ring.
DING DING DING
Mystery Man: AND THE DANCE HAS BEGUN!
The Match begins with Keith Williams, Rust Stilletto, Prince, and Olivia Saint. Keith immediately rushes in towards Olivia, thinking she would be the easiest conquest in this match and instantly eats a head butt, followed by a series of vicious and brutal jabs that drive him back into his corner!
Colin Hanks: Keith Williams making the first move of this match up!
Prince and Rust Stilletto square off and Prince rushes in with a hard right show, Rust's head whipping to the side. Rust answers with hard backfist that since the clown Prince spinning to the canvas in a heap. The Lord of the Dead approaches his downed foe with a swift stride.
FBI: Rusty's a strong fuck, ain't he?
Olivia, brutalizing Keith in the Revenant's corner with a vicious full body assault of punches and kicks, is caught with a thumb to the eye by Neo James Carner that distracts her long enough for Keith to head butt her right in the Diaphragm and open up with a few punches of his own, driving the bald, psychotic blue vixen back.
Mystery Man: Olivia Saint takes a thumb to the eye from Carner and open her up for Keith to headbutt her right in the chest! And now he drives her back with lefts and rights!
Rust, meanwhile, has Prince by the throat where he violently hurls the clown into the corner. Cheyenne takes one arm while Grizzly takes the other. The Dread Lord brutally hammers Prince with violent, destructive body punches and throat jabs, the clown trying to fight back with kicks that lack the proper leverage or distance to be fully effective.
Colin Hanks: Prince is trapped in the corner and unable to fight back as Rust just brutalizes him!
Keith ducks a shot from Olivia and drops her with the Golden Elbow! He promptly attempts a pin, but doesn't even get a one count as Olivia throws a shoulder up and shoves him off. Both get right back to their feet.
Mystery Man: Williams tries for a fast pin early on, but gets nowhere despite a solid Golden Elbow shot.
Rust punishes Prince, beating him down violently in the corner, the clown oddly laughing about it the entire time. Rust then backs up and gets a fast paced running start, hurling his 6' 6" frame in front flip into the corner he calls the Corpse Party! Grizzly and Cheyenne releasing Prince, allowing both men to fall down in the corner, but Rust rolls back to a stand.
Mystery Man: And Rust Stilletto with the Corpse Party in the corner on Prince!
Keith and Olivia brawl back and forth, unaware of the Dread Lord running at them until the very last second. The two turn and are brutally rocked off their feet with Rust hitting them both with matching Lariats. Rust then gathers Olivia up, hooks her arm, and HURLS her across the ring with a Hip toss that gains a great deal of air.
FBI: And now Rusty is looking for more targets!
Colin Hanks: Did you see the height of that hip toss? He almost threw Saint out of the ring!
Keith is on Rust in a flash, peppering him with hard right hand shots and driving him back into the ropes. Keith takes his arm, whips him across the ring, Rust snaps into the ropes, Keith ducks and Rust stops just short, nailing him with a short kick to the face that sets him upright, followed by a throat thrust that knocks him flat off his feet!
Mystery Man: And Stilletto drops Keith Williams with a hellish throat jab!
Olivia rushes at him from behind, catches his shoulders, and falls back, bringing the Dread Lord down with a Backstabber. He rolls off of her on impact onto his hands and knees as Olivia rolls to a stand and rushes towards Rust. She's suddenly shocked to the point of stopping in her tracks when he suddenly and quickly rises up, catches her by the throat, yanks her off of her feet and violently chokeslams her to the canvas!
FBI: Why'd she stop?
Mystery Man: He got up from a move that is normally very debilitating to most opponents...
Colin Hanks: ...and then Chokeslammed her for her efforts afterwards. Maybe there is something to this Lord of the Dead Schtick!
Keith, unsure of what to do, lunges for his corner and tags in Rob Garcia! At that moment, Prince leaps up, and brings Rust down with a hard neckbreaker! Just as Prince gets up with a laugh, Rob Garcia vaults onto the top turnbuckle and vaults into the air with the BITCH PLEASE leg drop, driving Prince down on the canvas hard.
Mystery Man: Flying Bitch Please off the top rope, catching Prince hard after bringing Lord Stilletto down to the canvas!
Rust and Rob get up at the exact same time, Garcia a little shocked. He looks the Lord of the Dead up and down, shakes his head and runs to the farthest ropes. Rust walks forward with a fast paced stride and Garcia rebounds with a flying leap, just as Rust hits a picture perfect spinning back kick that nails him square in the sternum, sending him to the canvas with a croaked cough.
FBI: This motherfucker is scary as fuck!
Colin Hanks: You got that right! First, taking a neckbreaker like it's nothing and then that spinning back kick taking Rob Garcia out in mid jump? Freaky!
With all of their opponents down, Rust doesn't make a cover but instead backs into his corner, even allowing Olivia to crawl over to the Legion corner while clutching at her throat. He promptly tags in Grizzly Duggan and commands him to enter the ring. Grizzly pushes down the ropes, throws one leg over the other, then walks towards the very center of the ring, staring blankly ahead.
Colin Hanks: What the hell is he doing? Grizzly is just standing there like some kind of monstrous statue!
FBI: Maybe he toked one too many blunts backstage?
He does absolutely nothing but stand there front and center, breathing very shallow like as Rust slips onto the apron, then hops off along with Cheyenne. Rust, Cheyenne, and Samael nod cordially at one another, then head straight for the back, leaving Grizzly to fend for himself.
Mystery Man: Did the Circle just abandon Grizzly Duggan?
FBI: Why's he just standing there, staring like a zombie?
Colin Hanks: I don't know, but none of this makes any damn sense!
Olivia tags in Luke Wolfe, The Lord of the Legion quick to move in and attack the massive mountain that is Grizzly Duggan. Left's, rights, chops, kicks, punches, Grizzly doesn't even react or budge, merely shifting slightly with each hit.
Mystery Man: Grizzly Duggan is just allowing Luke Wolfe to pummel him without answering back!
Meanwhile, Prince tags out to Chuckles who immediately sets upon stomping on Rob Garcia who was still trying to suck wind into his lungs after Rust Stilletto's perfectly placed spinning back kick. Rob rolls away from the man, eventually getting on his knees and trying to hold his hands up to block a walking kick to the face from Chuckles. Failing in that, he's rocked right back down!
Colin Hanks: Oh and ain't that a kick in the head?!
FBI: Alright Sinatra....
Luke finally manages to bring Grizzly down and locks him into a Calf Slicer submission hold. Yet Grizzly does not react at all, simply laying there like a lifeless corpse as Luke brutally wrenches on that leg. Even close to the ropes, Grizzly doesn't reach for them. A camera moves in to hear him repeat over and over like a mantra, "This is my pittance for failure. I recant my weakness and embrace the pain! This is my pittance for failure. I recant my weakness and embrace the pain!" His voice is monotone and devoid of any emotion.
FBI: Ok Grizzly is freaking me the hell out and he hasn't even swung a single punch!
Meanwhile, Rob Garcia was having a rather bad day at the hands of Chuckles, who was keeping his back to the ref while strangling Rob with scarves from the sleeve of his purple coat. Slowly Rob rights to his feet, grips Chuckles by the back of the head and then drops with an improvised stunner that stands Chuckles straight up and has him falling into his arms after a stiff forearm shot. There he begins to waltz around the ring with his stunned opponent, dancing in the pale ring light....
Mystery Man: And now Chuckles is dancing with Rob Garcia in the Pale ring light apparently...
Luke releases the hold and rises to a stand, utterly confused, then decides to roll the big man over and go for a pinfall on the non-responsive Grizzly Duggan.
ONE!!!
Olivia, Annabelle, Stitches, and Prince, all converge into the ring at once, the Legionnaires moving to intercept Stitches and Neo James Carner. Keith accidentally bowls over the referee while tackling Chuckles and preventing him from nailing the Sambo Suplex finish on his buddy....
TTWOOO!!!
NJC drops Annabelle with a stiff Neo Classical Symphony, then rolls to his feet and past Olivia to lunge at Luke Wolfe. Meanwhile the clowns are tied up with Rob and Keith in a stiff brawl All hell breaks loose in an instant...
TTHHHRRR-BROKEN UP!!!
Carner breaks up the pin, but quickly gets swept up in the massive brawl as every single participant in the match engages in a free for all melee. At some point the Referee gets knocked right out of the ring and left outside in a heap! Everyone attacks everyone all at once, except Grizzly Duggan, still laying there in the middle of the ring, as if he were catatonic and reciting the same words over and over again.
Mystery Man: And just like that, we've lost all control over this match! It's anarchy!!!
In the midst of all the Chaos, a new referee rushes to the ring, says to hell with it and declares that everyone is the legal man, throwing all caution into the wind. In the excitement, no one else was really sure either. Stitches, Prince, and Chuckles drive Neo James Carner out of the ring, then turn their sights on The Legione currently attacking Cheyenne. All three move in behind and attack. Olivia charges and tackles Prince with enough force to drive them both through the ropes and fall to the floor in a heap!
FBI: ANARCHY! I love it!!!
Chuckles, meanwhile HURLS Annabelle through the ropes, then joins her outside to continue their little "discussion." Stitches and Luke battle on the ropes, only for Neo James Carner to rush in, lift their legs, and hurl them both out of the ring.
Mystery Man: Bit by bit, everyone is leaving the ring at once!
Meanwhile, Grizzly Duggan stands up up, groggy and being battered by Rob Garcia and Keith Williams. The Big man suddenly reacts as he feels every ounce of pain in his body hit him. Rage surges through him and he grabs Keith and Rob by the throat, but before he can lift them, they both wrap their legs around his massive arms, pulls their necks free from his hands, and lock him in double standing armbars. Grizzly cries out and drops to his knees!
FBI: The Revenants are working that Zombie over with cross armbars! Now the big guy seems to be alive again, but it's a shame he's come back to reality already pretty beat the fuck up.
Colin Hanks: Everyone expected Grizzly to be this big force in the ring, but it's like he willingly sacrificed himself for some unknown purpose!
Neo then gathers up a dazed, Luke Wolfe, hits him with a knee lift, locks on a facelock, Lifts hhim as if to hit a suplex, only to whip Wolfe forward into a high impact STO slam he calls THE SPATIAL REND! On impact, Luke rolls out of the ring. Grizzly is unable to step in and do anything and if he could have tapped out, he would have with two, 200+ pound men hanging off his arms with cross armbreakers and not letting go. Everyone else has let their emotions run wild, brawling violently outside of the ring.
Mystery Man: NJC HITS THE SPATIAL REND ON LUKE WOLFE!!!
Stitches and Prince hit a double team spinebuster on Olivia, driving him through a table, just as Annabelle brutally slams Chuckle's head through a guard rail in such a manner that he's wedged in place! Wolfe manages to roll himself out of the ring as Annabelle rushs in towards Stitches and Prince, battling back and forth two to one and gradually losing the slug fest. Back in the ring, Neo shoves Duggan down and pins him while his cohorts continue to wrench painfully on Duggan's arms.
FBI: This is where paying attention counts kids!
ONE!!!
Stitches drops Annabelle with THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
At the same time, Prince boots Olivia in the gut and drops her face first onto his knee with THE JOKE! It was at that point that Stitches notices Neo James Carner making the pin. Both men slide under the ropes and into the ring, LUNGING at Carner!
TTTTHHHHRRREEEE!!!
DING DING DING
Dobrev: THE WINNERS OF THIS MATCH ARE, THE REVENANTS- NEO JAMES CARNER, ROB GARCIA, AND KEITH !!!
Grizzly Duggan laid back, passed out from pain, as both Keith and Rob released him from the dual kneeling armbars. However, there was no celebration as all parties managed to get into the ring and even though the Revenant's theme was playing, fists were flying as three out of four teams brawled it out in the middle of the ring.
Mystery Man: The Revenants may have won the match, but this fight ain't over! Someone get security out here!
Security rushes to ringside in large droves to break the riot-like situation up. It was more than clear that many were sore losers, but in all the chaos, Neo, Rob, and Keith all escape the ring, leaving Smile and the Legion brawling with security directly. No one seems to notice the unconscious Duggan.
FBI: Not the way we expected this to go down, but damn.... this was a bizarre as fuck match gang.
Mystery Man: That was an unexpected exit in the middle of the match by Rust Stilletto and Cheyenne. Ace Heart stopped him backstage during the bout and this is what Rust had to say about it....
The Cameras promptly cut to recorded footage that finds The Lord of the Dead and Cheyenne standing before Ace Heart, and impassive expression upon the dread lord's face.
Ace Heart: Mr. Stilletto, sir, why did you and Cheyenne walk out on your Circle Team Mate?
Rust Stilletto: His was a necessary lesson for any and all who do not live up to the standards of the Circle...
And with that, he shoves past Ace Heart.
Ace Heart: I don't know what this means This all is so weird and makes no sense!
BACKSTAGE
Standing backstage are two people. The first of which is EWC’s most prominent interviewer, Ace Heart and the second of these two people is none other than the Purple Haired Dynamo known as Otaki. While there are loads of cheers, there happens to be some frequent booing, which could be somewhat expected from the unexpected lashings the FSW Champion has been giving towards EWC on Twitter since the announcement of the Undisputed Championship match at WrestleFest. Obviously The Emo Princess is here to say something about this…right?
Heart: Good evening, ladies and gentleman, my name is Ace Heart an-
Otaki: We’re sorry but can you please shut up?
The sudden interruption, though somewhat kindly spoken, sounded rude from the milky skinned woman’s lips as she sighs softly before continuing.
Otaki: We know we asked for this time but, honestly, we’re only here to say a few things before we proudly hold up our FSW colours.
Of course the Purple Haired Dynamo couldn’t help but pat the plating of the FSW Championship wrapped around her waist while saying those few words. However what follows was a few awkward moments of silence as Otaki runs both her hands through her purple hair before speaking up with a softer tone of voice.
Otaki: For quite a while I might have been myself…or at least the ‘myself’ that all my Martyrs have been allowing since my rebirth. And yes, I am referring to myself as myself, instead of referring to myself and all us Martyrs as one being…
The Englishwoman sighs softly and unwraps the FSW Champion before lifting it up so she could look at the gold plating.
Otaki: This was supposed to be the greatest year of my life…been engaged to the love of my life, Shannon, for a year. Ended an eight month draught of victories. Finally managed to afford a fulltime tutor for my little Sarah so she could get the education she deserved. Not only winning my first Championship here but also managing to hold onto it long enough to be the longest reigning Champion entering this building. And I even looked up the possibility of IVF so I could give Shannon a blood child of her own and Sarah a sibling to play with.
The Emo Princess slowly lowers the FSW Championship down.
Otaki: But then Hatchet Gully’s manager A$hley Quid set a bounty on me…making the people I once thought only came to me because they mistaken me for someone more talented, like either Maggie Lockheart or Lexie Glass, come to me with the intention of injuring me. I was originally considered paranoid around strangers but thanks to Gully and Quid I still struggle, to this day, to even go to a corner shop to buy bread and milk. And if that wasn’t bad enough, that state of paranoia made me so distance from my little girl…that Cheyenne saw the perfect opportunity to not only steal her from me…but also make her see me as a stranger instead of a mother.
What did I do meanwhile? I asked for help, from any member of law enforcement in every State I’ve been in for the past few months, from anybody in the backstage area I could find and even blew all the money I made throughout my reign on a private investigator…and they all laughed. They all think that because I’m some professional wrestler that this is just some storyline. Hell, even the private investigator thought I was pulling his leg before wasting my time by finding nothing about where Cheyenne could be hiding my little girl.
And yet this ain’t the fault of any of them…this…all of this…from the list of enemies I’ve made to my own Sarah being stolen…is my own fault…
While saying her words there have been moments when the young Brit’s voice broke yet it was somewhere around a quarter way in that tears began to show. If anything her face was almost completely soaked by the time she finished them and immediately tried wiping some of the tears off her face. The male offers a handkerchief and The Emo Princess even mouths a ‘thank you’ as she manages to wipe enough tears off to dare to continue speaking.
Otaki: And so I’ve come to realise that I am the only one that can save both myself and my darling Sarah from this living nightmare that bitch Cheyenne has created. And to do that I need to make a sacrifice…and become a nightmare of my own. And so…tonight – when I not only team up with Xavier Reid, Magdalena Lockheart and Jeremy Warren but also fight against some of the greatest talents in all of EWC – will mark the last night that I’ll be fighting alongside all you Martyrs. For after tonight…I’m going off to a place I have no clue if I can ever come back from.
With a newfound look of determination upon her snow white face Otaki wraps the FSW Championship back around her waist before looking dead ahead.
Otaki: So tonight is the biggest night, and maybe final night, of our time. But we can guarantee you this, Ace, our infestation is only at its strongest tonight as – one way or another – we’ll not only help our FSW brethren defeat the poor unfortunate souls of Prime but we’ll also infect everyone in tonight’s Doomsday Cage match with our plague.
After saying her words, in a tone more confident than with any other words she has spoken, the Purple Haired Dynamo pats her FSW Championship once more before heading off.

TAG TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH
FSW VS PRIME
OTAKI, MAGGIE LOCKHEART, XAVIER REID & JEREMY WARREN
VS CARLOS RUIZ, CANDY, THOMAS FABIANO & EL PABLO
MYSTERY MAN: Well ladies and gentlemen, we just saw an amazing Stable versus Stable match. The ReVnants were barely able to outlast SMILE. That match will be hard to top. But the next match is just as likely to keep the fans at the edge of their seats.
HANKS: Coming up with a match which will drive fans crazy trying to decide who to cheer for throughout the match. All are fan favorites except for Xavier Reid.
FBI: Excuse me while I vomit.
Dobrev: Introducing first, representing Team Prime….CARRRRLOOSSSSS RUUUUIIIZZZZ!
"Livin La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin hits over the P.A. System and the crowd goes crazy for their Spanish Luchadore! Carlos Ruiz walks out from the back posing for the crowd in his leather jacket that is zipped halfway up, pink speedo wrestling trunks, pink boots, and Maui Jim sunglasses. He stops on the way to the ring a couple of times to take selfies with the crowd. He slides into the ring and blows kisses to the adoring fans. He smiles as he removes his jacket and sunglasses and hands them to the ringside attendant.
MYSTERY MAN: Here comes the newcomer, EWC’s Spanish Import, Carlos Ruiz. He looked good in a losing effort in his debut.
HANKS: Viva La Lucha! I got the Spanish Fever.
FBI: What are you doing here? You could kill us all. Spanish Influenze is nothing to joke about.
Dobrev: Next up representing Prime….ELLLL PAAAABLLLOOOOO!
Spotlights scan across the darkened arena as a lone voice hollers from the speakers, cracking under the weight of its own emotion:
“Viva Volando! Vive este momento! Viva la Rainbowlution!!”
Immediately, the intro to “Stronger” by Kanye West hits the sound system, the spotlights now pulsating to match the pounding of the kick drum.
That-that-that that don’t kill me / Can only make me stronger,
Man, I been waitin’ all night now / That’s how long I been on ya!
As the main hook hits, a single burst of rainbow-coloured pyro explodes up from the stage, popping the crowd as they dance beneath a dazzling, dizzying disco light display.
Suddenly, Xavier Reid storms from behind the curtain and knocks El Pablo to the ground with a devastating clothesline from behind. Xavier Reid grabs El Pablo by the head and drags him to his feet. He goes to lock El Pablo up in a Thai Plum Clinch but El Pablo catches him offguard with a Sitout Jawbreaker. El Pablo bounces back to his feet. He leaps, wraps his legs around the neck of Reid, about to attempt a Huricanrana, but Reid, grabs El Pablo by the back, heads to the barricade, and Powerbombs him over the barricade into a few chairs abandoned by fans a second before. Reid hops over the apron, leans down, grabs the head of El Pablo and begins unloading hard right hands.
MYSTERY MAN: El Pablo taken out from behind by Xavier Reid. It is no secret they have bad blood.
HANKS: Pun intended? This behavior is disgraceful. I thought Xavier Reid had more respect for the EWC than to pull a stunt like this.
FBI: MVP! MVP! MVP!
Hanks: You make Steve “The Predator” Bennett look like a genius, you know that?
The camera cuts from the action in the crowd back to Nina Dobrev.
Dobrev: Next up, representing Prime….THOMMMASSSS FABBBIIIAAANNNNOOOOO!
“Lights Go Out” by Fozzy plays Thomas steps out from behind the curtain and pulls back his hood from his sleeveless jacket which was unzipped, he then gazes at the crowd and then makes his way towards the ring showing the crowd appreciation as he walks towards the ring by interacting with them by giving them high fives. As he gets to the ring he jumps up onto the apron and then springs over the top rope and into the ring. He then climbs the turnbuckle and puts his arms up and poses to the crowd.
MYSTERY MAN: Fabiano with a few key wins in a row. He is looking to make a push for that Indy Title.
HANKS: An impressive showing against FSW could catapult him into a contendor’s spot.
FBI: UGH! Get this pretty boy out of my sight. The brightness of his suntan is hurting my eyes.
Dobrev: Making her way to the ring from Candyland, please welcome...'The Sweet Treat'...CAAAAAANDYYYYYY!!
After her name is announced, Candy begins skipping her way down the aisle as she tags the outstretched hands along the way. She circles half the ring before climbing up on the apron. As she takes a seat on it, Candy blows a kiss into the crowd. She then lays back and rolls into the ring under the bottom rope. Once she's on her feet again, Candy taunts the crowd until her music subsides.
MYSTERY MAN: And here comes the beauty that ruined Carlos Ruiz’s debut. It seems any newcomer that crosses her path takes one in the loss column.
HANKS: The fans are going crazy for one of their EWC hometown heroes. Candy has the skill to win any match in which she competes. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her walk away the Last Woman Standing in this match.
FBI: She may be the last woman standing. But no way she is the last one standing
Dobrev: Introducing the first representative from FSW….XAVVVIIEERRRR REEEIIIIDDDDD!
The lights inside the arena go out as Cochise starts up. A single strobe light flashes in the direction of the stage. But within seconds the lights are turned back on and the music cut as the producers are informed of the situation.
Mystery Man: Well he already made his presence known.
Hanks: he doesn’t even deserve an introduction with that disrespectful behavior.
FBI: You are right, he deserves the win right here and now.
The camera cuts to Xavier Reid and El Pablo exchanging blows in the crowd, halfway between the ramp and the ring. El Pablo gets the advantage with a Standing Dropkick. El Pablo hops atop Reid and begins unloading hard right hands to the face of Reid before the camera cuts to Nina Dobrev.
Dobrev: The next representative from FSW….MAGGGIIIEEE LOCKKKHEARRRTTTTT!
The lights go out in the arena for a few moments causing the crowd to murmur. People gather their cellphones and lighters just to see what's going on. The camera pans out on what appears to be fireflies out in the stands. In the pitch, a loud drum solo comes crashing over the Arena PA speakers. As the last cymbal crash falls eerily silent, bright red spotlights and strobes hit the stage along with dancing red laser lights, all marching along with the cadence of a heavily distorted bass guitar.
Someone sang your name today
and a stranger saw me crumble;
Haul my broken heart and shell away
beggin', bury me beside you...
Magdalena Lockheart walks out from the curtain and continues through the center of the stage and down the ramp. Lockheart walks with a purpose, her jet-black trench coat swaying behind her as she rounds the corner to make it to the ring steps. After stepping up onto the ring apron, she spins herself around clutching the top rope behind her, as she stares out into the audience just to gauge their reaction.
But I want you
I need to
Forget you
Don't want to
But I need to let you
Go
At the exact moment that the lead singer says "go", she places her hands on either side of the trench coat and rips it open to reveal her fight life cut-off tee. At the same moment, a bright blue spotlight becomes the only light in the entire arena as it shines straight down on her and glitter falls from the ceiling like rain. Magdalena bathes in a glitter shower a moment before pulling off her trench coat and stepping into the ring.
MYSTERY MAN: Maggie has been in a struggle trying to prove her worth to James Tyson. This match could solidify her spot on FSW, or give Tyson the reason he has been seeking to send her packing.
HANKS: Maggie is always ready to compete and will definitely be a team player. She is a great value to this team and FSW on the whole.
FBI: Says you. I don’t see anything special about her. She is too small.
Dobrev: Next up, representing FSW, JEREMY WARRREEENNNNN
A firetruck siren screaming through the PA system brings everyone attention to the entrance stage. As it fades, "My Hero" by Foo Fighters kicks in, and Jeremy Warren appears on the stage with a big smile on his face, walking to the ring with a fast pace, exchanging high fives with some of the front row fans, before sliding inside the ring and climb to the turnbuckle, giving the military salute to the camera.
FBI: Now why would Tyson pick this fool? The Everyman’s Hero. Please. I think I might puke.
MYSTERY MAN: Jeremy Warren is a former FSW Champion. A claim not many can make.
HANKS: Plus, who knows what would have happened if Hatchet Gully never attacked and injured Warren.
FBI: I know what would have happened. Gully would have beat him and we would have never had to deal with this shameful reign of Otaki.
Hanks: She is the longest reigning champion on the EWC Roster. Shameful is the complete opposite of how her reign should be described.
Dobrev: Introducing the Final Member of FSW, the FSW Champion…OTAAAAKKKIIII!

ON THE ROAD TO VIRIDIAN CITY
With that yell the lights suddenly burst into life, which reveals a woman in a purple cloak standing on the stage. While only her eyes and mouth could be seen from her hood. Her milky white skin and purple hair making it rather obvious that this person is Otaki. Her cloak doesn't cover the front of her attire, a purple one-piece outfit with no sleeves or coverage for the legs, a belt around her waist with PokéBalls on them and a pair of blue boots, as Otaki starts to go down the ramp-way. Once arriving the bottom of the ramp a smile appears on Otaki's face as she raises her hood up and off, revealing not only her face but also a red gem that is on her forehead. Once she reveals her face The Emo Princess moves up the steps and gets onto the apron before bending over the middle rope to enter the ring. Once inside the ring Otaki proceeds to take off her cloak, revealing the back of her outfit to any potential man in the crowd tonight as she neatly folds her cloak up and places it on the ropes nearest her. Right afterwards she bounces over to the ropes opposite, stepping one foot on the bottom rope while stepping the other on the middle rope and takes her Pokéball off before lifting it up in the air.
FBI: Oh god, here she comes now. I hope she is the first one eliminated. How hilarious would that be?
MYSTERY MAN: I would go with not at all. Otaki is one of the fiercest competitors on the EWC roster. Getting to watch her in the ring is a treat for all the EWC fans.
HANKS: She will be paying close attention to Reid and Maggie tonight. One of them will be challenging her at Wrestlefest for the FSW Title.
Otaki pulls the Champion card and convinces Lockheart and Warren to let her start the match. For Team Prime, Candy convinces her team to let her start the match as the senior member of Team Prime and the match is in her hometown. Candy receives a tremendous ovation, even hears her name being cheered before the bell rings.

Candy gets up, heads to her corner and tags in the closest teammate which happens to be Thomas Fabiano.

As Hanks is speaking, El Pablo uncharacteristically begins stomping viciously on the downed Reid.
Mystery Man: Reid is bringing out the worst in El Pablo here.
FBI: I think you mean the best. If he acted like this more often maybe he would have some fans.
Hanks: That is ludicrous. El Pablo has amassed quite the following.
As El Pablo continues to stomp on Reid, Carlos makes it to his feet. He taps El Pablo on the shoulder. El Pablo, lost in anger, is about to strike Carlos, but gains his composure before he does.

She is getting noticeably tired, when out of nowhere Reid storms in the ring and stomps on the head of El Pablo. And again, and again, finally EL Pablo releases the hold.
FBI: See, teamwork. Reid is the only team player on the FSW squad.

Mystery Man: The animosity between teammates almost cost Team FSW their champion.

Hanks: And what about when Reid did it earlier to Maggie Lockheart? Are you calling him selfish too?
FBI: Of course not. That was smart.

Both competitors are down on the mat. Candy is now making her way back to her corner, cheering on El Pablo to make his way to her.

Mystery Man: What a match this has been. It is still either team’s to win with an even playing field.

THREE! Maggie gets there a second too late, unable to save her teammate with a kick to the head of El Pablo.
Dobrev: Otaki has been eliminated from TEAM FSW!
Hanks: Look at the faces of the crowd. They are stunned Otaki did not make it to the end.
Mystery Man: Usually The Face Painter would be enough. But El Pablo realized Otaki is no ordinary competitor. So he added a little extra Umph, and managed to eliminate the FSW Champ.
El Pablo is noticeably exhausted. Maggie notices this, as he is about to get to his feet. Maggie takes a step back then lunges forward, and knocks EL Pablo to the mat with Eclipsis Lunae. She flips El Pablo over, she hooks the legs…the ref counts…

DING DING DING
DOBREV: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…TEAM FSW…WITH MAGDALENA LOCKHEART AS THE SOLE SURVIVOR!
Hanks: Maggie did it. She took Team FSW to victory. A valiant effort by all involved! What a match!
Mystery Man: Looks like James Tyson may have his answer. It is going to be hard to justify getting rid of the winning representative.
FBI: This was a fluke. If they would have helped Reid in his time of need, this would have ended much differently. Tyson can do whatever he wants as far as I’m concerned.
Mystery Man: That match will be hard to top. But the representatives from Team Brawl and Team Rampage will be looking to do just that, NEXT!
Hanks: Not to mention the insane Champions Doomsday match in the Main Event. Plenty more gut-wrenching, hair raising action to come.
Mystery Man: During the Stable Fatal Fourway Tag Team Match, we received footage backstage involving The Rebel and Molly O'Hatherine breaking into the Circle's locker room. It's finally made its way to us now .. and the the footage you are about to see may be disturbing to some viewers. You have been warned.
BACKSTAGE
A camera man rolls footage on the Ginger Ninja, Molly O'Hatherine, as she diligently picks the lock of the Circle's locker room door. Beside her with a baseball bat in hand and dressed in full ring gear, stands none other than the Rebel herself, Melinda Rhodes, keeping look out.
Camera Man: *in a nasally voice* Are you sure I should be seeing this?
Molly: Yer recordin' fer posterity, in case me hunch is true and my love who was kidnapped on all Hallow's eve, is here in tha' Circle's locker room.
The Rebel tenses as someone passes the hallway, but pays neither woman any mind.
Rebel: ...and if it turns out we're wrong, well, we'll be in deep shit, but at least we'll be covered if she's right.
With a final click of the last tumbler, Molly turns the knob and pulls the door open. She then removes her picks and darts into the room, followed by Melinda and the Camera man. The door clicks shut behind them softly.
Camera Man: You sure we'll be ok?
Rebel: *Looking back at him* If anyone asks, we held you at gun point, ok?
The sight that greets them, however, is rather underwhelming. It's an empty locker room, showing no signs of occupancy. Not even a single ring gear bag resides. The Rebel sighs and slowly shakes her head.
Rebel: Damnit....
Molly: Let's search anyways. I know she's here. I can feel it in me bones....
...and Search is what the two do. Opening lockers, searching crates, whatever it takes. It was while Molly searched the showers that the Rebel realized that one set of lockers looked a bit off. She looks through each one, finding nothing out of the ordinary until coming to the very last one. She notices a small, raised surface on the back of the locker, almost like it were a button. She tested it with a push and immediately it gave beneath her fingers. Next to her, the brick wall slid back and opened up to reveal a set of stairs leading down.
Rebel: MOLLY! COME QUICK!
Molly is over there in a flash and sees the same sight that she does. With a wicked smile, she darts down the stairs.
Molly: NYX! NYXAE'!!!! I'M COMIN' FER YE' LOVE!!!!
Melinda follows after her, the camera man himself not too far behind. The sight that greets them seems as if from another world. A variety of apothecary bottles filled with various herbs and lines a shelf on one wall, while books and a wide variety of tools that served purposes unknown to any of them lined the other. At the back of the room stood a large, stone Egyptian sarcophagus that bore countless hieroglyphics and bizarre runic patterns.
At the center of the room sits a simple chair. Tied to it is an unconscious Nyx Madine, her body barely clad in linen wrappings and showing signs of physical torture; odd burn marks, bruising, and her left hand had been broken bone by bone. She took in shallow breaths, her chest barely rising and falling. Molly throws her arms around Nyx, tears of joy in her eyes.
Molly: I found ye'.... yer alive... thank tha' heavens and tha' good Lord above!
The two untied her and quickly carried her out of the chamber with the camera man following in suit. Nyx briefly regains consciousness, completely disoriented and barely possessing the strength to lift her own head.
Nyx: *murmuring* nnnnuuhhoooo.... mus...dessroy et.... can't... cannnnnnot let it...
Molly: *Putting a finger to Nyx's lips* Sssssshhhhh.... it's ok, yer safe now....
Nyx promptly passed back out again before the feed cut back to ringside.
Hanks: Did anyone know we had a passage back there?
Mystery Man: No, but an Ambulance was quick to arrive to transport Nyx Madine to a hospital to be treated for broken bones, severe dehydration, and multiple second degree burns. Mysteriously, no one has been able to find this secret passage and the members of the Circle that are not booked for any later matches seem to no longer be present in the building for questioning. Only one still here is Cheyenne and she's not talking.
Hanks: No one saw them exit the building, nor enter it in the first place.
FBI: Those fuckers give me the creeps. Why do we hire creepy ass people all the time in wrestling?
Hanks: I don't know but it's time for our fourth match of the night ...
Camera Man: *in a nasally voice* Are you sure I should be seeing this?
Molly: Yer recordin' fer posterity, in case me hunch is true and my love who was kidnapped on all Hallow's eve, is here in tha' Circle's locker room.
The Rebel tenses as someone passes the hallway, but pays neither woman any mind.

TAG TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH
BRAWL VS RAMPAGE
REBEL RHODES, AJ JOHNSON, HAYDEN CAMBRIC & NOSTALGIA
VS ACE KING, SHELLEY SILVER, LATOYA HIXX & JEREMIAH KELSEY
Nina Dobrev: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM BRAND VS BRAND ELIMINATION MATCH! INTRODUCING FIRST.....
"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC hit's the house P/A system as the lights flash red and white, the BRAWL intro video playing and as soon as the word 'Thunderstruck' is shouted out by Brian Johnson, the stage erupts with explosive pyro! With The Rebel front and center, she's followed closely by the massive frame of Nostalgia and the well groomed and chiseled Hayden Cambric! Melinda throws a three fingered salute to the fans, then rushes down the ramp to slap as many side high fives as she can before arriving at ringside. Hayden scoffed at the fans as he passed them by, while Nostalgia bobs his head in time with the music. While he isn't overly friendly, he does shoot a smile or two at the fans before climbing the ring steps.
The Rebel waits for her comrades to join and notices that AJ isn't with them. Sighing softly, she just shakes her head. Nostalgia walks the ring apron before pushing down on the top rope and together, all three enter the ring. The Rebel slingshots herself into the ring, Nostalgia slips a leg over the top rope, followed by the other. Hayden wipes his feet and slips through the ropes.
Rhodes runs to the farthest turnbuckle, vaulting up to the top to give the fans a three finger salute while thrashing her head back and forth, headbanger style, to the rhythm of AC/DC's masterpiece assaulting everyone's ears.
Nostalgia circles the ring with his arms spread wide, palms up, signaling for the fans to make some noise.
Hayden, meanwhile goes to his corner where he sheds the suit jacket, revealing a nice white dress shirt and tie, which he also removes to show off a surprisingly strong physique beneath the suit. He leaves his suit pants and $10,000.00 suede shoes on while he prepares to start the match.
Mystery Man: Team Brawl looks ready, but where is AJ Johnson?
As the lights go out in the Arena, lyrics hit the PA system and red and black lights begins flashing. AJ then walks from the curtain and turns his back to the crowd and shakes his hips.
Colin Hanks: Consider that question answered, Man.
After flipping his hair, he turns around and begins dry humping towards the crowd and mocking the fans in attendance. He plays on the stage for a moment and then starts walking down the ramp towards the ring.
Once in the ring, AJ continues mocking the crowd as the boos are beginning to overtake the Arena. Before the ring announcer can begin talking AJ snatches the microphone and gestures for the announcer to walk away as he begins to tap the top of the microphone.
AJ Johnson: Ladies and Gentlemen.... THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE LEADER OF TEAM BRAWL, Now making his ppearance in this ring, hailing from Atlanta, Georgia and weighing in at 225 pounds....The best damn professional wrestler on this roster....AJ JOHNSON!!!!
AJ then drops the mic and leans on the ropes in the corner of the ring as he begins smirking towards the crowd.
FBI: What an arrogant prick. I love this fucking guy!
They each shoot AJ dagger eyes as he just waves them off and steps into his corner with a cocky smile and swagger in his step.
Dobrev: REPRESENTING BRAWL, THE TEAM OF REBEL RHODES, NOSTALGIA, HAYDEN CAMBRIC AND AJ JOHNSON!!!!
Colin Hanks: Team Brawl is looking strong, but with the problems and potential for infighting with this team, it's hard to imagine that strength lasting too long
Dobrev: AND THEIR OPPONENTS...
"The Beautiful People" hit's the P/A system, Rampage's highlight reel playing across the video screen. As Marilyn Manson screams the title of his song, the stage explodes with green pyro fire and out steps three out of four representatives of Team Rampage. Ace King leads the way with beautiful and heavily tattooed Shelly Silver to his right and Jeremiah Kelsey to his left in a T-shirt that reads, "BULLFROG" on the front. The trio marches down the ramp, seemingly unaware that Latoya Hixx wasn't with them. The fans extended their hands and all three indulged the crowd with walking high fives along the way. As they reach ringside, they realize instantly that someone is missing.
Ace looks to Shelly, "You seen Latoya?" Shelly shakes her head in response. The U.S. Champion looks over at Jermiah, "Have you seen her?" He shrugs his shoulders, "Maybe she got lost in a one stall bathroom? I don't know!"
Shaking his head, the three look up to the ring to their Brawl adversaries. Ace stands a little back from the ring, hands on his hips as both Shelly and Jeremiah ascend ring steps. Immediately, Ace King dashes forthand dives in under the bottom rope. He spins up onto one knee and stares out into the crowd before getting to his feet.
Shelly Silver slips through the ropes and turns, gripping the top rope and hopping onto the bottom. There she bounces up and down upon them with a smile on her face!

Jeremiah gives Team Brawl are hard stare, then makes a waving gesture with his arms followed by the Triangle Pose he's become known for!
FBI: Tell me Hixx is pulling her own personal AJ Johnson here!
With a firework's display being projected across the roof of the T-Mobile Arena, Latoya Hixx steps out onto the stage wearing her light green robe with her signature name on the back. She spins around and walks down the ramp. Stopping at ringside, she removes her robe on the floor and does a front flip near the ring. She thenhops on the ropes and does a split flip into the ring. Immediately Ace King face palms while Shelly Silver just shakes her head and laughs. Across the ring, Melinda Rhodes kind of chuckles a bit. Meanwhile AJ Johnson just waves it off as if it were sooooo lame.
Dobrev: REPRESENTING TEAM RAMPAGE, LAS VEGAS'S OWN ACE KING...
FBI: Buncha' saps.
Dobrev: ....SHELLY SILVER, JEREMIAH "BULLFROG" KELSEY, AND LATOYA HIXX!!!!
Ace confronts Latoya in the ring saying, "We spoke on this. You were to come out with the rest of us in a show of solidarity!" Latoya shrugs her shoulders and replies while pointing at AJ, "Hey, they let that pleeb do whatever he wants!" Somehow over hearing this, AJ shouts, "PLEEB?!!! YOU'RE THE PLEEB, PLEEB!" and immediately starts heading for the center of the ring. It's the referee, however, that keeps the two apart.
Colin Hanks: Never discount the incredible sense of hearing that AJ Johnson has!
After restoring order, everyone is order to their perspective corners with Latoya Hixx and AJ Johnson starting off the match! The Referee motions for the bell.
Mystery Man: The gates are open and the horses are out the stalls running!
Immediately AJ Johnson closes the distance with harsh and savage punches and chest chops, driving Hixx back with each and every blow. The Hardcore lady catches his arm and goes for an Irish whip, only to be reversed and slung into the far corner. There, AJ closes the distance with a shoulder ram into the gut. From there, he proceeds to ram her abdomen over and over repeatedly, Latoya thrashing in the corner. He begins mixing it up by alternating between shoulder rams and elbow shots, until finally Latoya drops to a seat in the corner. AJ turns away from Latoya and takes a few steps forward, throws his arms out at his sides, and shouts, "OH YEAH BAYBAAAAAAYYY!!!"
Mystery Man: Hixx and Johnson kicking this shindig off and AJ off to a commanding start for Team Brawl!
He then turns and rushes in, only for Latoya to roll out of the way, causing AJ to kick nothing but turnbuckle. She immediately rolls to her feet and onto the apron, where she pulls back on the middle rope and hurls herself through with a slingshot spear that rocks AJ Johnson off his feet! AJ winces, rolling to a stand only to eat several rapid fire knife edge chops to the chest and be brought right back to the canvas a Figure Four Headscissor. AJ rises on impact and falls to his knees, where he quickly crawls to his corner and reaches out for a tag, only to get the middle finger and a laugh from Cambric. The Rebel hesitantly reaches out to tag herself in, but instead, AJ's pulled away before their hands make contact. AJ roars at his team, "YOU BASTARDS!!!"
FBI: Not much of a team spirit going on here!
Colin Hanks: Well AJ did talk ALOT of shit about everyone involved int he match here, FBI.
FBI: Yeah but you can't knock a guy's hustle.
He rolls onto his back and kicks Latoya away with both feet, then kips to a stand. Before Latoya has a chance to react, AJ Johnson belts out a Snap Superkick that cracks Hixx in the jaw. From there, AJ falls across Latoya for a pin attempt.
ONE!!!
No one from Rampage moves at first....
TWWWWOOO!!!!
Then suddenly Ace King bursts through the ropes!
TTTHHHRRR-BROKEN UP WITH A HARD STOMP!
Ace King gives Johnson a hard stomp across the back and the self proclaimed MVP of Brawl cries out sharply, his pin attempt broken. He rises to his feet, looking to get a piece of Ace King who the referee backs up to his corner. Suddenly Latoya Hixx snakes an arm between AJ's legs and rolls him into a school boy pin. She struggles to hold him down despite her full body weight nearly folding him in half! The Ref sees this, turns and starts to count!
ONE!!!
No one from Brawl moves at first....
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
This time The Rebel bursts through the ropes!
TTTHHHRRRRRRE-BROKEN UP WITH A LOW ORBIT DROPKICK!!!
Rhodes rushes in an drops low, catching Latoya upside her own head with a low orbit dropkick that breaks up the pin attempt. The Rebel promptly rolls back and slides through the apron without any prompting from the referee, Rhodes and King sharing knowing nods between one another.
Mystery Man: What a close series of saves there by both sides. Despite the animousity his team mates feel, it's clear Team Brawl doesn't want to be down a man just because.
Johnson and Hixx get up at the same time and AJ cracks her across the chest with a chop that sends her reeling back in pain, only to return the favor with an explosive chest chop of her own! AJ responds with one of his own and soon the two are blistering the exposed portions of their chest with chops, the crowd shouting "WOOOO!" with each slap of skin! Suddenly AJ notices the Ref momentarily distracted and kicks Latoya square in her womanhood. She lets out a shreak of pain and doubles over, cupping herself.
FBI: HE KICKED HER IN THE GOOCH! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Mystery Man: The Ref looked away at just the wrong time! Blatant breaking of the rules there!
Colin Hanks: I keep for getting that just because a lady doesn't have any balls, doesn't mean it don't hurt for them to get kicked there.
AJ then pulls Latoya into a standing headscissor, wraps his arms around her waist and front flips to drive Latoya skull first to the canvas with THE DAY DREAMER! As AJ holds Latoya for the pin, both sides erupt over the ropes, Team Brawl cutting Team Rampage off with an in ring fight.
ONE!!!
Nostalgia and Ace King wind up over the ropes....
TWO!
The Rebel catches Shelly with a clothesline against the ropes, both women flying out of the ring to the floor. Hayden catches Jeremiah trying to run past him and hurls him into a corner, then sprints at the man, only to eat a boot to his chiselled jaw!
TTTTHHHRRREEEEE!!!
Jeremiah flies past the two and plants a hard double axe handle to the back of Johnson, but it is too little, too late and ultimately he fails in his attempt to break up the pin.
Debrov: LATOYA HIXX HAS BEEN PINNED AND ELIMINATED!!!
FBI: Who didn't see that comin' now?
Mystery Man: She did put up a hell of a fight despite her reputation, but Hixx was indeed still the first to die in this match up.
Jeremiah rises up to his feet and is immediately caught from behind by Hayden Cambric in a violent, wrenching Cobra Clutch hold, his face an evil sneering grimace of psychotic rage. Cambric then back bridges with a snap, turning the clutch into a release clutch suplex! As AJ rises from Latoya and shoves her out of the ring with his boot, he turns to find Hayden yelling, "PIN THIS BITCH!"
Mystery Man: And Hayden Cambric showing that devious, psychotic side clearly aiding his fellow team mate like a true team playere here.
FBI: If he wants to win, he'll play ball or get punted in his balls.
Hayden then returns to his corner as AJ scrambles to make the pin on Jeremiah as well! Meanwhile outside, Ace King RAMS Nostalgia skull first into the ring barricade, sending him stumbling back. At that exact moment, Shelly Silver rushes past the Rebel with a fake out. Ace sees her coming, ducks down, and she leaps onto his back with a twist, then he stands up quickly as she uses him as a springboard to fly and drop Nostalgia with a moonsault off his back! Ace notices AJ hooking the leg in the ring...
ONE!!!!
He leaps onto the apron and the Rebel tries to pull him off! As he's distracted, Hayden bursts through the ropes...
TTTWWOOO!!!
Ace is immediately clotheslined off the apron by Hayden, landing in a heap on the floor. At that moment, Shelly Silver lept onto the apron, gripped the ropes, and slingshot herself up and over, aiming square at AJ....
TTHHHHRRR-BROKEN UP!!!
...And she crashes across AJ Johnson's back, breaking up the pinfall in an instant. The Rebel, meanwhile, makes her way back to her team corner, as does Ace King. Shelly Silver gets to her feet, only to be bowled over by a skull rattling running clothesline from Hayden Cambric that has her seeing double. Hayden, unable to resist this opportunity, gathers Shelly by either side of her head and brings her eye level with his crotch...
FBI: Seriously... he's actually gonna' do this?
Colin Hanks: Clearly Hayden Cambric is a man used to getting what he wants!
He then rams his pelvis right into her face, once.... twice.... and on the third thrust, he stops, his eyes going wide as Shelly Silver sinks her teeth right into his most intimate of intimates. Hayden Cambric HOWLS in agony as Shelly mauls his manhood like a rabid weasel through the fabric of his expensive slacks. He tries to pry her off, screaming in a surprisingly high pitched voice, "GET HER OFF!! GGGEEEETTTT HHHHEEEEERRRR OOOOFFFFFF!!!!" only making it worse with each tug of her head! The Rebel buries her face in her arms on the ropes, her whole body quivering and shaking with barely audible laughter, and her arm extended with a thumbs up.
Mystery Man: SHELLY SILVER JUST BIT HAYDEN CAMBRIC IN THE GROIN!
FBI: Bet you never thought you'd be saying that in a million years on this job, did ya' Mystie?
Nostalgia joins Rebel on the apron just as Ace King finally rushes through the ropes, gathers Hayden in a rear waistlock and back bridges with a German Suplex, a hole ripped in Hayden's pants and exposing his rather expensive underwear to the world as his head is brought violently to the canvas!
Colin Hanks: OOOOh No-hohohohohooooo.... That made my balls HURT!
Shelly rises and spits the offending fabric out of her mouth. The Referee then escorts Ace and Shelly back to their corner while Hayden rolls out, cupping his agonized groin. During all of this, Jeremiah had recovered and was watching and waiting for AJ Johnson to get to his feet, who had been struggling since taking the senton bomb from Shelly. Slowly he picks himself up using the ropes, then turns around just as The Bullfrog hops forward and snaps off a kick he calls THE VETO! AJ's head snaps back, he staggers, stumbles towards his corner and falls just short of a tag.
Myster Man: Jeremiah nearly took off AJ Johnson's head with that kick!
FBI: I'm sure that even if he did, the MVP of Brawl would power through it like a fuckin' BAWS.
At that point a visibly pained and angry Hayden Cambric pulls himself onto the apron in the Red Corner, his pants just a little more religious thanks to the handiwork of Shelly Silver's teeth. Melinda looks at him, looks down at the hole in his pants, then back up to his face and bursts into laughter. Even Nostalgia couldn't help but smile. "NOT A WORD," Hayden says, pointing at his team mates. Melinda shakes her head and waves her hands at him, but can't help but snicker.
Colin Hanks: Everybody on team Brawl is clearly still reeling at Shelly Silver making a light snack out of Hayden Cambric's family jewels.
FBI: I wonder if Ace should be mad that his woman had another man's nuts in her mouth tonight?
Meanwhile, AJ gets dragged away from their corner to the center of the ring, where Jeremiah Kelsey Lifts AJ up into a Wheelbarrel hold, lifts him up and brings him crashing down on the mat with a Sitout Gordbuster called JUSTIFIED. From that position, he immediately locks up Johnson in THE CLOCKTOWER inverted Cloverleaf! AJ Johnson SCREAMS in agony, flailing his hands about the canvas. Cambric, Rhodes, and Nostalgia rush into the ring, but are met by Ace King and Shelly. King manages to bowl over both Rhodes and Nostalgia with a dash into a leaping double arm clothesline and Shelly catches Hayden with a standing dropkick that sends him staggering back.
Mystery Man: Jeremiah Kelsey has AJ Johnson locked up in the Clocktower in no man's land!
Ace tosses The Rebel through the ropes, then promptly fires off a Full House II into the face of Cambric, sending him through the ropes. He barely stops himself from falling completely off the apron. AJ Johnson, with no where to go and no one to save him, slaps his hand to the mat and taps out.
Colin Hanks: HE TAPPED! HE TAPPED! HE TAPPED!!!
Debrov: AJ JOHNSON HAS TAPPED OUT!!!!
Jeremiah releases the defeated AJ Johnson and the M.V.P. rolls out of the ring, clutching at his knee in pain. Nostalgia rises to his feet and as the only legal Brawl wrestler in the ring, that makes him the legal man in. The Referee ushers Shelly and Ace back to their corner as Jeremiah squares off with Brawl's big man.
Colin Hanks: Looks to me like we have a David and Goliath appointment here.
As the two walk the workers walk, Nostalgia gets closer and closer, squatting down a bit more and more with his feet practically shuffling, both men move in quick and Nostalgia goes for the tie up and at first, Jeremiah goes into the collar elbow, only to grip Nos's arm, twist, turn, and wrench him into a tight standing armbar, the big man bent forward. Using superior strenght and leverage, Nostalgia bends and twists right out of the lock and then bending Jeremiah's arm back and over his head, nearly folding his smaller opponent backwards and in half.
Mystery Man: Both men engaging in a little chain wrestling here...
Jeremiah struggles, trying to plant his feet in a better position and not fall back at the same time. He then twists and turns himself, pulling Nostalgia forward whille moving out from under his mass and then slipping his wrist free and dropping the big man with a drop toe hold to the canvas. There he immediately goes in to try to lock Nostalgia up in THE CLOCKTOWER, but Nostalgia rolls before he can lock it in and kicks him off! Jeremiah stumbles back, then turns and leaps towards Shelly Silver's extended hand. The tag made, Shelly rushes into the ring just as Nostalgia rolls to a stand in his corner and tags in Rebel Rhodes!
Mystery Man: Tags are made. The Bullfrog and Nostalgia are out, Silver and Rhodes are in!
Colin Hanks: It's about to heat up in this ring now!
The Rebel and Shelly meet up and Shelly quickly goes for a snap savate kick, but the Rebel catches the kick with her hands. Balancing on one foot, Shelly spins and rips her foot free with a Dragon whip Enziguri, which the Rebel promptly ducks. Shelly lands on her knees and the Rebel advances, only to take a mule back kick to the gut. Shelly then back rolls into a handstand, latches her feet around the Rebel's head, pushes off the mat and spins, hurling Melinda to the canvas with an improvised spinning headscissor.
FBI: I love me some Silver, but the Rebel is oh so nice.
Melinda tucks and rolls on impact, a hand to her back and crouched low, watching Silver with an impressived smile and a nod of her head. She rises to her feet, brushing her long dark hair from her face and Shelly and the Rebel begin circling each other. The two move in closer and closer, then lock up and at first, Shelly seems to push Melinda back a step, until the 5' 11" and 152 pound Rebel suddenly started pushing her 5' 8" frame back with only modest difficult. Shelly suddenly turns and pulls the Rebel into a sideheadlock, but that doesn't last long as Mel frees herself and lifts Shelly up and over with a backdrop suplex, but Shelly flips free and lands on her feet while The Rebel lands on her back!
Mystery Man: Rebel almost had Shelly with that steep backdrop, but Ms. Silver saw it coming!
Melinda Kips to her feet as Shelly backs into the ropes. Ace King blind tags Shelly on the shoulder as she runs at the Rebel. The Rebel turns and drops to her knees, bending backwards in a prostrated position to avoid the grapple. Showing great leg strength she pushes herself up as Shelly lands, turns, and is caught in a 3/4th's necklock and delivered to the canvas with THE SHOT THROUGH THE HEART! Melinda covers her up, but the Ref doesn't start and points towards Ace King who is now entering the ring!
Mystery Man: SHOT THROUGH THE HEART!!!!
FBI: But on the wrong person! Mel didn't see the blind tag!
The Rebel doesn't even have time to fully get up when she's caught by a running knee to the side of her head, the blow sending her into a sideways sprawl to the canvas. as The Referee helps Shelly to her corner, Hayden Cambric rushes in to take liberties by coming in from behind and catching Ace King with a vicious low blow to the groin. Ace let's out a croaked, choking cough of pain and falls to the canvas cupping his groin. As Hayden gets to his feet, he sees Jeremiah Kelsey actually walk along the rope, leap off and is caught by a STEEP flying DDT to the canvas! As Jeremiah gets to his feet, he's instantly run down by Nostalgia and a running boot to the face that snaps his head back!
Mystery Man: This has been one hell of a match so far.
FBI: Gooch kicks, low blows, and pain, Oh my!
The Referee is immediately on all of them, ordering everyone back to their corners. Jeremiah rolls out of the ring, clutching at his head. As Ace King gets up slowly, he's suddenly caught in a 3/4th's Necklock, but luckily he thinks fast and shoves the Rebel off of him, forcing her to land on her rear with a bit of a skid on the canvas. Rhodes rolls to her feet blocks a kick from Ace, then ducks a follow up roundhouse kick and while he's off balance, she drops and throws both legs out with a low orbit dropkick that kicks his balancing leg out from under him and sends King crashing to the mat!
FBI: When in doubt, sweep the leg!
As he gets up, Rhodes is already on her feet and heading for the nearest set of ropes. Springboarding off the middle rope, she catches Ace as he gets to his feet and brings him crashing to the mat with a spinning neckbreaker! He rolls, clutching at his neck and head in pain. Melinda gets to her feet, crouches down low in her team's corner and sets up for the Rhodes Kill. Hayden Cambric slaps the Rebel's shoulder for a blind tag and steps in front of her. The Rebel glares holes through his back and slips back out onto the apron while he heads straight for the slow rising Ace King...
Mystery Man: It looked for a moment like Rebel Rhodes was setting up for her Rhodes Kill spear, but Hayden Cambric gave a blind tag instead.
Ace Turns and is caught by Hayden with a jawbreaker over his knee in perfect aping of Ace's High Roller Codebreaker! With some Stolen Valor, he hooks Ace's legs and lays across him for the pinfall!
Mystery Man: And there's Hayden with some Stolen Valor!
ONE!!!!
Shelly bursts through the ropes as Jeremiah hops on them. Rhodes and Nostalgia slip into the ring together....
TWO!!!
Nostalgia bursts forth and takes a high flying springboard Crossbody attack from Kelsey that rocks him off his feet! Shelly catches Rhodes with a running forearm strike, then lunges towards Hayden and Ace...
TTTHHHHRRRRE-BROKEN UP!
Shelly hits a standing Senton Splash across Cambric, rocking him right off of Ace King! As soon as she's on her feet, the Rebel bull rushes her with a tackle and shunts her through the ropes. She then turns in time to eat a dropkick from Jeremiah Kelsey that practically sends Melinda right through those very same ropes and landing right on top of Shelly in a heap!
Mystery Man: Back and forth this match goes! Where it stops? Hell if I know!
As Jeremiah gets to his feet from the dropkick, he finds himself caught by the throat with those large and powerful hands of Nostalgia's, lifted up in the air and calmly dumped out of the ring beside them via a choke lift and throw over the top rope.
Colin Hanks: And there's the Brawl big man, catching The Bullfrog by the throat and just tossing him out of the ring like a small child!
Nostalgia helps Hayden to his feet and the two suddenly get an idea as they watch Ace King slowly get up. They both rush in and grip Ace by the throat, only for Ace to fight back. He begins to hit both men with shots back and forth, but a quick overhand chop from Nostalgia drops him to one knee. The two then grab him by the throat, lift him off his feet and Double Chokeslam him to the canvas.
Mystery Man: Team Brawl hitting a double team Chokeslam on Ace king!
FBI: Get 'em a lozenge, he'll be fine!
The Referee then moves in and demands for Nostalgia to go back to his corner. He's joined by the Rebel just as Kelsey and Silver get back on their section of Apron. Hayden gathers Ace up and walks him over to their team's corner, where he tags in Nostalgia, who immediately gives Ace a stiff knee lift, followed by a scoop and a slam upon the canvas.
Mystery Man: And now Nostalgia showing his dominance with a knee lift and scoop slam combination.
Colin Hanks: Can't beat the classics, Man.
Ace, showing incredible toughness, rolls over and tries to crawl over to his corner, but Big Nos grabs his foot and starts yanking him back to the center of the ring. Ace flips over and tries to kick Nostalgia away but finds instead his other foot is caught. Nostalgia pulls him into a wheel barrel hold and starts to spin him around with the ON THE CLOCK, dragging Ace at first on the mat but eventually gravity and momentum combined with Nostalgia's freakish strength lift Ace.
Mystery Man: Like clockwork, Nostalgia just spins Ace round and round!
FBI: You spin me right round, baby! Right round like a record, baby!
When Ace is about hip level, Nostalgia lets him go but inadvertently sends him hurtling towards his corner. Wincing in pain from the hard landing, Ace slaps the first hand he makes contact with, Jeremiah Kelsey!
Colin Hanks: Or like A clock but the clock stops on the Rampage corner and Jeremiah gets tagged in by Ace King!!!
Nostalgia is coming on strong like a freight train, only for Jeremiah to vault to the top rope and fly off. He latches his legs around Nostalgia and whips the big man off his feet with a spinning Hurricanrana! Nostalgia is quick to sit up on impact, rolling to his feet.
Mystery Man: And a Hurricanrana with just enough stink on it to bring a big man down!
Jeremiah rushes in with a roundhouse kick that snaps Nostalgia's head to one side, promptly followed by a hard gut kick and a Killshot Jumping DDT! On impact, he rolls Nostalgia onto his back and hooks the leg!
ONE!!!
Rhodes and Cambric both slip a leg through the ropes, as do Shelly and Ace.
TWO!!!
Both Teams slip through the ropes...
THR-KICKOUT!!
Mystery Man: Nice DDT, but somehow Nostalgia survives it!
Nostalgia shoves Jeremiah off and both sides resume their places back on their perspective aprons. The Big man gets to his feet just as Jeremiah rushes to the ropes and springboards off the second to catch Nos in a 3/4th's Necklock, but he doesn't manage to drop him. Instead Nostalgia shifts his footing as if he had prepared for this, lifts Jeremiah high in the air and HURLS him to the mat with an explosive impact.
Mystery Man: Jeremiah was about to execute a Springboard Cutter, but Nostalgia just hurls him off like he weighs nothing!
FBI: Dude is freakishly strong, yo!
Nostalgia then gathers only to be caught by a leaping sitout jawbreaker that sends him staggering while clutching his jaw. Nostalgia turns to face his opponent, only to be caught by THE VETO superkick. Nostalgia faints dead away, falling flat on his back on the canvas. Thinking fast, Jeremiah climbs the nearest turnpost and signals for the Triangle. He then takes flight from the top rope with a Corkscrew 630 senton splash he calls THE TRIANGLE DIVE!
Mystery Man: And Jeremiah goes AIRBORNE!!!
At the last second, Nostalgia rolls to the side, letting Jeremiah crash and burn on the canvas in spectacular fashion. Jeremiah thrashes on the canvas, holding his guts as if his belly had burst and was suffering intense pain.
Colin Hanks: SSSSsss...OOOOooooo
FBI: Crash. And. BUUUUURN
Nostalgia gathers Jeremiah up into a Fireman's carry on his back walks him to the center of the ring, spins around and brings him crashing to the canvas with PAVLOV'S BELL!!! On impact, he rolls Jeremiah over for a pin!
Mystery Man: Nostalgia with the Pavlov's Bell, but can his team mates defend him long enough for the pin to make it count?!
ONE!!!
Everyone enters the ring in a flash!
TWO!
Hayden catches Ace Heart and the two start brawling, one effectively halting the process of the other. Shelly and Rebel did much the same themselves. Ace breaks free at the last second and dives for Nostalgia and Jeremiah!
TTTTHHHHRRREEEEE!!!
Debrov: JEREMIAH KELSEY HAS BEEN PINNED!!!!
Mystery Man: And Sadly, a fan favorite has been eliminated!
Colin Hanks: I hope he doesn't take it too hard. The guy has a ton of promise, but Nostalgia was just too much.
The clubbing blow to the back was too little too late. Nostalgia shoves Jeremiah out of the ring, then sets his sights on Ace King. He and the US Champion start brawling in the ring, only for Hayden to join in, turning the fight into a two on one situation. The end result saw the two dump Ace out of the ring.
FBI: Team Brawl standing tall in that ring right now.
Meanwhile, Rebel Rhodes manages to get the upper hand on Shelly Silver and hurl her through the ropes! She nods with approval at both Hayden and Nostalgia, the three seeing clearly now they are in the lead. Hayden and Rebel return back to their corner as Shelly and Ace regroup outside. In the ring, Nostalgia stood, coated in sweat and visibly tired, but still feeling like he could go a little longer.
Colin Hanks: I certainly did not expect this team to rally in the way they have.
Mystery Man: The Rebel has certainly done a solid job of somehow rallying this group, even though any man could easily plunge a knife in her back at any minute.
"I can take him," Shelly said to Ace, pointing at Nostalgia. "You sure? I don't want you hurt," came Ace's response. She smiles and pats him on the cheek, "You silly, silly man. I got this." Shelly turns and slides back under the ropes as Ace climbs onto the apron, an uncertain look in his eye as he realizes his newfound solitude in the green corner....
Mystery Man: One by one, Brawl has been picking off Rampage's team and it's now a three on two scenario.
Nostalgia visibly stiffened, and not in the pants tightening way, as Shelly enters the ring. He points at Ace King and she merely shakes her head. The Big man begins to back up towards his corner, ready to tag... when suddenly he bursts towards Shelly Silver!
Colin Hanks: Rampage is at a disadvantage and HERE COMES NOSTALGIA!!
Shelly ducks the big man's swinging arm and catches him with a few swift kicks to the hip and side before catching him with a solid dropkick right to his knee that drops Nostalgia to a kneel. She then backs up, rushes in, and hits him with a spinning Headscissor DDT she calls THE FALLING RAIN!
FBI: HOLY SHIT!
Mystery Man: SHELLY WITH THE FALLING RAIN OUTTA' NOWHERE!!!
Shelly then rushes for the nearby ropes, springboards, and drops with a moonsault pin across Nostalgia!
ONE!!!!
Ace King rushes through the ropes just as Hayden does so, catching the man by surprise with a hard clothesline. He then goes for a forearm smash on the Rebel, only to have his arm caught, followed by a hard shoulder ram to the gut!
TWO!!!!
Melinda then lunges through the ropes and past Ace to save her team mate, but is caught....
TTTHHHHRRRREEEE!!!!
Ace manages to keep the Rebel at bay, earning a hard back elbow shot to his face in the process that sends him staggering back!
Debrov: NOSTALGIA HAS BEEN PINNED!!!
Mystery Man: Nostalgia is gone and Team Brawl loses it's one bonafide powerhouse wrecker!
As Hayden rolls out of the ring, that leaves The Rebel as the legal woman for Brawl and Shelly Silver wastes no time going after her! She peppers Rhodes with stiff right hands before taking her by the arm and whipping her across the ring. With Ace still in the ring, Shelly catches the Rebel by her legs, lifts her up and falls back just as Ace catches her with a jumping DDT, drilling the Rebel skull first to the canvas with a brutal variation of the infamous 3D maneuver!
Mystery Man: A 3D DDT! Ace King and Shelly Silver double teaming Rhodes!
FBI: I like the out of context version playing in my head...
Colin Hanks: ...not a bad visual... I MEAN DAMNIT FBI!!!
On impact, Shelly makes the cover on Rhodes!
ONE!!!
Hayden Cambric slides under the ropes and Ace tries to run interference.
TWO!!!
Cambric surprises Ace by suddenly leaping up and hitting a vicious Superman Punch he calls THE GOD PUNCH! On impact, he tucks, rolls, and lunges at Shelly with both arms swinging down at her!
TTTHHHRRRRE-BREAKUP!
Cambric batters Shelly's back with both arms, breaking the pinfall up. He then gathers Melinda by the arm and drags her to his corner where he sets her up, then slaps her arm and rushes into the ring!
Mystery Man: Hayden Cambric with a huge save there, keeps the Rebel in play by dragging her to his corner and tagging himself in!
Shelly, meanwhile was on her feet and leaning against the ropes to catch a breather Silver shoves off the ropes and the Cambric suddenly shoots off like a bullet train towards her. Shelly can't react in time and finds herself folded nearly in half by a violent Spear. Hayden leaps to his feet, Ace forcing himself through the ropes, only for Melinda to burst through the ropes rush towards him with a flying shoulder block that rocks Ace right off the apron! She returns to her corner as Cambric heft's Shelly up and hits THE TOP POPPER Brainbuster. Upon impact, he hooks Shelly's leg for the pin....
FBI: Br-r-r-r-r-AINBUSTAH!
ONE!!!
Ace gets up outside the ring, shaking the cobwebs from his head...
TWO!!!
...He sees, Shelly and slides under the ropes...
TTTTHHHRRREEEE!!!!
Dobrev: SHELLY SILVER HAS BEEN PINNED!!!
...But it's too little too late. Shelly was eliminated before he could do anything to stop it. Hayden is on his feet and both he and Ace rush full steam ahead, with Hayden ducking a running clothesline, but neither man stopping. Instead they both hit the ropes on either side of the ring, rebound and seemingly have the same idea as they both take stiff lariats that drop each other to the canvas! Dazed and stunned from dual Ricochet Clotheslines, Hayden rolls onto his hands and knees and starts crawling for his corner. The Rebel's hand is outstretched and he suddenly leaps forward, tagging her back in!
Mystery Man: After a double knockdown, Hayden tags in the Rebel as he's clearly disoriented. Ace King is a hard hitting man and he just found out the hard way. Now it looks like it's just Rhodes and King with a little help from Hayden Cambric!
FBI: I'd have thought it'd have come down to just two people, the Ruthless Hayden Cambric and Ace King, two guys who are as polar opposite as you can get.
Colin Hanks: It may still if the Rebel is forced to tag out at any point.
Cambric rolls onto the Apron, then picks himself up using the ropes. Meanwhile, Ace has risten to his knees, only to see The Rebel staring back at him. She shouts, "YOU READY, ACE?" He chuckles, weary and just as tired and beat down as she is, "I WAS BORN READY!"
The two rise to their feet and lunge at each other. He tries to pull her into the Big Slick STO, but she slips right out of it, trying to pulling him in for a DDT, but instead, he reverses the DDT into an improvised Northern Suplex Pin!
Mystery Man: You just don't see a Northern Suplex counter for DDT's very often anymore.
ONE!!!
TWO-BRIDGED KICKOUT!
Using every ounce of her surprising leg strength, the Rebel pushes both herself and Ace off the ground. He releases the hold, flips around and pulls her right into a standing headscissor. Ace then whips The Rebel up for a powerbomb, only for Melinda to flip over his shoulders and pull him into a Sunset Flip Pin!
Mystery Man: Rebel tries for a Sunset Flip!
ONE!!!
TWO-KICKOUT!!
The two of them roll apart Melinda goes for a wristlock, which Ace transitions into a standing Keylock. The Rebel turns the Keylock into a Hammerlock. Ace hits a back elbow and tries to kick her head off with a High Roller II, but the Rebel ducks the kick, leaps up, catches him in a 3/4th's Necklock and drops straight to the canvas with THE SHOT THROUGH THE HEART!!!
Mystery Man: SHOT THROUGH THE HEART!!! ACE IS DOWN!!!
On impact, Melinda Rolls him over, but doesn't go for the pin but decides to climb the nearby turnpost. Hayden Cambric watches from the corner as Melinda Rhodes executes the very move that cost her everything at MNB #496. She leaps off with a beautiful Corkscrew spin into a shooting star front flip and lands with an explosive impact upon Ace King with THE REBEL STAR PRESS! On impact, she hooks the leg!
Mystery Man: REBEL RHODES WITH THE REBEL STAR PRESS AND A PIN!!!
Colin Hanks: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MOVE!!!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!!
TTTTTHHHRRREEEEE!!!!
Debrov: ACE KING HAS BEEN PINNED!!!! THE WINNERS OF THIS MATCH! TEAM BBBBRRRAAAAWWWLLLL!!!
FBI: Holy shit, they won it with two to spare!
There was a mixed reaction in the crowd, as much of the crowd would have clearly preferred their hometown hero to win. At the same time, it was hard to argue the quality of the match they had just watched. Rebel Rhodes rose up, a sway in her step, a fist in the air. She hurt all over, but in her mind, the pain was worth it. Hayden Cambric approaches her from behind a jealous, angry scowl that spelled murderous intentions on his face. He stops only because out of the corner of his eye he sees Nostalgia and AJ Johnson heading for the ring.
Colin Hanks: I thought for a second Cambric was going to do something, but here comes the rest of Team Brawl.
Together they gathered in the ring. There was a tense staredown between Rhodes and Nostalgia for several seconds, until suddenly he takes her arm and raises it in the air. AJ Johnson quickly shouts to the Rebel, "YOU COULDN'T DO THIS WITHOUT ME!!!" Melinda offers up a mere nod, then separates from the others, asking for a microphone.
Hayden Cambric, meanwhile, stays back from the others and decides that retribution will have to come at a later date. For now, he puts on a charming smile to hide his true intentions. She brought the microphone to her lips...
Rebel: Hey Price, we won motherfucker. Can't wait to hear your speech about how this was all your idea but I will say this...
...Melinda looks back at her team mates. AJ Johnson stands with his arms crossed over his chest. Hayden hangs back in the corner, and Nostalgia has his thumb hooked in the waistline of his tights.
Rebel: ...Gentlemen, it was an honor and a privilege to share this ring with you tonight. Thank you for having my back, even when a couple of you wanted to put a knife in it.
Hayden looks at the Rebel as if he were wounded, offended even, with a hand over his heart.
Rebel: Don't give me that look, Cambric. You knew that if you took that shot you were thinking about taking, Nostalgia was most likely going to fuck your ass up.
She shot a smile at Nos, who gave her a small nod in turn.
Rebel: AJ Johnson? You're an asshole, but like you shouted at me, WE couldn't have done this without you.
AJ nodded and replied, "Yeah that's right, baybay!" The Rebel turned and saw Ace King walking up the ramp along with Shelly Silver, a hand to his ribs in pain.
Rebel: ...Ace King. Thank you for giving me one hell of a fight sir. I'll buy you a drink after the show.
He gave a nod, a small smile, turned, and headed to the back. With that, the Rebel looks back to the crowd.
Rebel: And Thank you Las Vegas!
With the crowd giving a cheap pop, the Rebel tosses the microphone back to the attendant and Team Brawl leave ringside together. The Rebel and Nostalgia give each other a little fist bump as they disappear through the curtains to the back.
Mystery Man: Strong showing by Team Brawl despite their differences.
FBI: I don't get it though, you'd think the team that had better unity and less hostile members towards each other would have stood far better chances.
Colin Hanks: If you hadn't noticed, those that were the least team oriented were the first to go. Nostalgia quite literally was only taken out due to a surprise tactic by Shelly Silver. Few ever see her finishing move coming.
FBI: Yeah but I know for a fact AJ Johnson hates Rebel Rhodes' guts and of course there was that thing with Nostalgia and the Fleshlight business.
Mystery Man: Apparently, water under the bridge for one night only at the very least. However, it does warm my heart just a bit to see someone as genuine and sincere as Rebel Rhodes. She made a fan out of me tonight.
FBI: Tell me Hixx is pulling her own personal AJ Johnson here!
With a firework's display being projected across the roof of the T-Mobile Arena, Latoya Hixx steps out onto the stage wearing her light green robe with her signature name on the back. She spins around and walks down the ramp. Stopping at ringside, she removes her robe on the floor and does a front flip near the ring. She thenhops on the ropes and does a split flip into the ring. Immediately Ace King face palms while Shelly Silver just shakes her head and laughs. Across the ring, Melinda Rhodes kind of chuckles a bit. Meanwhile AJ Johnson just waves it off as if it were sooooo lame.
Dobrev: REPRESENTING TEAM RAMPAGE, LAS VEGAS'S OWN ACE KING...
*HUGE CHEAP HOMETOWN WRESTLER POP!*
FBI: Buncha' saps.
Dobrev: ....SHELLY SILVER, JEREMIAH "BULLFROG" KELSEY, AND LATOYA HIXX!!!!
Ace confronts Latoya in the ring saying, "We spoke on this. You were to come out with the rest of us in a show of solidarity!" Latoya shrugs her shoulders and replies while pointing at AJ, "Hey, they let that pleeb do whatever he wants!" Somehow over hearing this, AJ shouts, "PLEEB?!!! YOU'RE THE PLEEB, PLEEB!" and immediately starts heading for the center of the ring. It's the referee, however, that keeps the two apart.
Colin Hanks: Never discount the incredible sense of hearing that AJ Johnson has!
After restoring order, everyone is order to their perspective corners with Latoya Hixx and AJ Johnson starting off the match! The Referee motions for the bell.
DING DING DING
Mystery Man: The gates are open and the horses are out the stalls running!
Immediately AJ Johnson closes the distance with harsh and savage punches and chest chops, driving Hixx back with each and every blow. The Hardcore lady catches his arm and goes for an Irish whip, only to be reversed and slung into the far corner. There, AJ closes the distance with a shoulder ram into the gut. From there, he proceeds to ram her abdomen over and over repeatedly, Latoya thrashing in the corner. He begins mixing it up by alternating between shoulder rams and elbow shots, until finally Latoya drops to a seat in the corner. AJ turns away from Latoya and takes a few steps forward, throws his arms out at his sides, and shouts, "OH YEAH BAYBAAAAAAYYY!!!"
Mystery Man: Hixx and Johnson kicking this shindig off and AJ off to a commanding start for Team Brawl!
He then turns and rushes in, only for Latoya to roll out of the way, causing AJ to kick nothing but turnbuckle. She immediately rolls to her feet and onto the apron, where she pulls back on the middle rope and hurls herself through with a slingshot spear that rocks AJ Johnson off his feet! AJ winces, rolling to a stand only to eat several rapid fire knife edge chops to the chest and be brought right back to the canvas a Figure Four Headscissor. AJ rises on impact and falls to his knees, where he quickly crawls to his corner and reaches out for a tag, only to get the middle finger and a laugh from Cambric. The Rebel hesitantly reaches out to tag herself in, but instead, AJ's pulled away before their hands make contact. AJ roars at his team, "YOU BASTARDS!!!"
FBI: Not much of a team spirit going on here!
Colin Hanks: Well AJ did talk ALOT of shit about everyone involved int he match here, FBI.
FBI: Yeah but you can't knock a guy's hustle.
He rolls onto his back and kicks Latoya away with both feet, then kips to a stand. Before Latoya has a chance to react, AJ Johnson belts out a Snap Superkick that cracks Hixx in the jaw. From there, AJ falls across Latoya for a pin attempt.
ONE!!!
No one from Rampage moves at first....
TWWWWOOO!!!!
Then suddenly Ace King bursts through the ropes!
TTTHHHRRR-BROKEN UP WITH A HARD STOMP!
Ace King gives Johnson a hard stomp across the back and the self proclaimed MVP of Brawl cries out sharply, his pin attempt broken. He rises to his feet, looking to get a piece of Ace King who the referee backs up to his corner. Suddenly Latoya Hixx snakes an arm between AJ's legs and rolls him into a school boy pin. She struggles to hold him down despite her full body weight nearly folding him in half! The Ref sees this, turns and starts to count!
ONE!!!
No one from Brawl moves at first....
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
This time The Rebel bursts through the ropes!
TTTHHHRRRRRRE-BROKEN UP WITH A LOW ORBIT DROPKICK!!!
Rhodes rushes in an drops low, catching Latoya upside her own head with a low orbit dropkick that breaks up the pin attempt. The Rebel promptly rolls back and slides through the apron without any prompting from the referee, Rhodes and King sharing knowing nods between one another.
Mystery Man: What a close series of saves there by both sides. Despite the animousity his team mates feel, it's clear Team Brawl doesn't want to be down a man just because.
Johnson and Hixx get up at the same time and AJ cracks her across the chest with a chop that sends her reeling back in pain, only to return the favor with an explosive chest chop of her own! AJ responds with one of his own and soon the two are blistering the exposed portions of their chest with chops, the crowd shouting "WOOOO!" with each slap of skin! Suddenly AJ notices the Ref momentarily distracted and kicks Latoya square in her womanhood. She lets out a shreak of pain and doubles over, cupping herself.
FBI: HE KICKED HER IN THE GOOCH! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Mystery Man: The Ref looked away at just the wrong time! Blatant breaking of the rules there!
Colin Hanks: I keep for getting that just because a lady doesn't have any balls, doesn't mean it don't hurt for them to get kicked there.
AJ then pulls Latoya into a standing headscissor, wraps his arms around her waist and front flips to drive Latoya skull first to the canvas with THE DAY DREAMER! As AJ holds Latoya for the pin, both sides erupt over the ropes, Team Brawl cutting Team Rampage off with an in ring fight.
ONE!!!
Nostalgia and Ace King wind up over the ropes....
TWO!
The Rebel catches Shelly with a clothesline against the ropes, both women flying out of the ring to the floor. Hayden catches Jeremiah trying to run past him and hurls him into a corner, then sprints at the man, only to eat a boot to his chiselled jaw!
TTTTHHHRRREEEEE!!!
DING DING DING
Jeremiah flies past the two and plants a hard double axe handle to the back of Johnson, but it is too little, too late and ultimately he fails in his attempt to break up the pin.
Debrov: LATOYA HIXX HAS BEEN PINNED AND ELIMINATED!!!
FBI: Who didn't see that comin' now?
Mystery Man: She did put up a hell of a fight despite her reputation, but Hixx was indeed still the first to die in this match up.
Jeremiah rises up to his feet and is immediately caught from behind by Hayden Cambric in a violent, wrenching Cobra Clutch hold, his face an evil sneering grimace of psychotic rage. Cambric then back bridges with a snap, turning the clutch into a release clutch suplex! As AJ rises from Latoya and shoves her out of the ring with his boot, he turns to find Hayden yelling, "PIN THIS BITCH!"
Mystery Man: And Hayden Cambric showing that devious, psychotic side clearly aiding his fellow team mate like a true team playere here.
FBI: If he wants to win, he'll play ball or get punted in his balls.
Hayden then returns to his corner as AJ scrambles to make the pin on Jeremiah as well! Meanwhile outside, Ace King RAMS Nostalgia skull first into the ring barricade, sending him stumbling back. At that exact moment, Shelly Silver rushes past the Rebel with a fake out. Ace sees her coming, ducks down, and she leaps onto his back with a twist, then he stands up quickly as she uses him as a springboard to fly and drop Nostalgia with a moonsault off his back! Ace notices AJ hooking the leg in the ring...
ONE!!!!
He leaps onto the apron and the Rebel tries to pull him off! As he's distracted, Hayden bursts through the ropes...
TTTWWOOO!!!
Ace is immediately clotheslined off the apron by Hayden, landing in a heap on the floor. At that moment, Shelly Silver lept onto the apron, gripped the ropes, and slingshot herself up and over, aiming square at AJ....
TTHHHHRRR-BROKEN UP!!!
...And she crashes across AJ Johnson's back, breaking up the pinfall in an instant. The Rebel, meanwhile, makes her way back to her team corner, as does Ace King. Shelly Silver gets to her feet, only to be bowled over by a skull rattling running clothesline from Hayden Cambric that has her seeing double. Hayden, unable to resist this opportunity, gathers Shelly by either side of her head and brings her eye level with his crotch...
FBI: Seriously... he's actually gonna' do this?
Colin Hanks: Clearly Hayden Cambric is a man used to getting what he wants!
He then rams his pelvis right into her face, once.... twice.... and on the third thrust, he stops, his eyes going wide as Shelly Silver sinks her teeth right into his most intimate of intimates. Hayden Cambric HOWLS in agony as Shelly mauls his manhood like a rabid weasel through the fabric of his expensive slacks. He tries to pry her off, screaming in a surprisingly high pitched voice, "GET HER OFF!! GGGEEEETTTT HHHHEEEEERRRR OOOOFFFFFF!!!!" only making it worse with each tug of her head! The Rebel buries her face in her arms on the ropes, her whole body quivering and shaking with barely audible laughter, and her arm extended with a thumbs up.
Mystery Man: SHELLY SILVER JUST BIT HAYDEN CAMBRIC IN THE GROIN!
FBI: Bet you never thought you'd be saying that in a million years on this job, did ya' Mystie?
Nostalgia joins Rebel on the apron just as Ace King finally rushes through the ropes, gathers Hayden in a rear waistlock and back bridges with a German Suplex, a hole ripped in Hayden's pants and exposing his rather expensive underwear to the world as his head is brought violently to the canvas!
Colin Hanks: OOOOh No-hohohohohooooo.... That made my balls HURT!
Shelly rises and spits the offending fabric out of her mouth. The Referee then escorts Ace and Shelly back to their corner while Hayden rolls out, cupping his agonized groin. During all of this, Jeremiah had recovered and was watching and waiting for AJ Johnson to get to his feet, who had been struggling since taking the senton bomb from Shelly. Slowly he picks himself up using the ropes, then turns around just as The Bullfrog hops forward and snaps off a kick he calls THE VETO! AJ's head snaps back, he staggers, stumbles towards his corner and falls just short of a tag.
Myster Man: Jeremiah nearly took off AJ Johnson's head with that kick!
FBI: I'm sure that even if he did, the MVP of Brawl would power through it like a fuckin' BAWS.
At that point a visibly pained and angry Hayden Cambric pulls himself onto the apron in the Red Corner, his pants just a little more religious thanks to the handiwork of Shelly Silver's teeth. Melinda looks at him, looks down at the hole in his pants, then back up to his face and bursts into laughter. Even Nostalgia couldn't help but smile. "NOT A WORD," Hayden says, pointing at his team mates. Melinda shakes her head and waves her hands at him, but can't help but snicker.
Colin Hanks: Everybody on team Brawl is clearly still reeling at Shelly Silver making a light snack out of Hayden Cambric's family jewels.
FBI: I wonder if Ace should be mad that his woman had another man's nuts in her mouth tonight?
Meanwhile, AJ gets dragged away from their corner to the center of the ring, where Jeremiah Kelsey Lifts AJ up into a Wheelbarrel hold, lifts him up and brings him crashing down on the mat with a Sitout Gordbuster called JUSTIFIED. From that position, he immediately locks up Johnson in THE CLOCKTOWER inverted Cloverleaf! AJ Johnson SCREAMS in agony, flailing his hands about the canvas. Cambric, Rhodes, and Nostalgia rush into the ring, but are met by Ace King and Shelly. King manages to bowl over both Rhodes and Nostalgia with a dash into a leaping double arm clothesline and Shelly catches Hayden with a standing dropkick that sends him staggering back.
Mystery Man: Jeremiah Kelsey has AJ Johnson locked up in the Clocktower in no man's land!
Ace tosses The Rebel through the ropes, then promptly fires off a Full House II into the face of Cambric, sending him through the ropes. He barely stops himself from falling completely off the apron. AJ Johnson, with no where to go and no one to save him, slaps his hand to the mat and taps out.
Colin Hanks: HE TAPPED! HE TAPPED! HE TAPPED!!!
DING DING DING
Debrov: AJ JOHNSON HAS TAPPED OUT!!!!
Jeremiah releases the defeated AJ Johnson and the M.V.P. rolls out of the ring, clutching at his knee in pain. Nostalgia rises to his feet and as the only legal Brawl wrestler in the ring, that makes him the legal man in. The Referee ushers Shelly and Ace back to their corner as Jeremiah squares off with Brawl's big man.
Colin Hanks: Looks to me like we have a David and Goliath appointment here.
As the two walk the workers walk, Nostalgia gets closer and closer, squatting down a bit more and more with his feet practically shuffling, both men move in quick and Nostalgia goes for the tie up and at first, Jeremiah goes into the collar elbow, only to grip Nos's arm, twist, turn, and wrench him into a tight standing armbar, the big man bent forward. Using superior strenght and leverage, Nostalgia bends and twists right out of the lock and then bending Jeremiah's arm back and over his head, nearly folding his smaller opponent backwards and in half.
Mystery Man: Both men engaging in a little chain wrestling here...
Jeremiah struggles, trying to plant his feet in a better position and not fall back at the same time. He then twists and turns himself, pulling Nostalgia forward whille moving out from under his mass and then slipping his wrist free and dropping the big man with a drop toe hold to the canvas. There he immediately goes in to try to lock Nostalgia up in THE CLOCKTOWER, but Nostalgia rolls before he can lock it in and kicks him off! Jeremiah stumbles back, then turns and leaps towards Shelly Silver's extended hand. The tag made, Shelly rushes into the ring just as Nostalgia rolls to a stand in his corner and tags in Rebel Rhodes!
Mystery Man: Tags are made. The Bullfrog and Nostalgia are out, Silver and Rhodes are in!
Colin Hanks: It's about to heat up in this ring now!
The Rebel and Shelly meet up and Shelly quickly goes for a snap savate kick, but the Rebel catches the kick with her hands. Balancing on one foot, Shelly spins and rips her foot free with a Dragon whip Enziguri, which the Rebel promptly ducks. Shelly lands on her knees and the Rebel advances, only to take a mule back kick to the gut. Shelly then back rolls into a handstand, latches her feet around the Rebel's head, pushes off the mat and spins, hurling Melinda to the canvas with an improvised spinning headscissor.
FBI: I love me some Silver, but the Rebel is oh so nice.
Melinda tucks and rolls on impact, a hand to her back and crouched low, watching Silver with an impressived smile and a nod of her head. She rises to her feet, brushing her long dark hair from her face and Shelly and the Rebel begin circling each other. The two move in closer and closer, then lock up and at first, Shelly seems to push Melinda back a step, until the 5' 11" and 152 pound Rebel suddenly started pushing her 5' 8" frame back with only modest difficult. Shelly suddenly turns and pulls the Rebel into a sideheadlock, but that doesn't last long as Mel frees herself and lifts Shelly up and over with a backdrop suplex, but Shelly flips free and lands on her feet while The Rebel lands on her back!
Mystery Man: Rebel almost had Shelly with that steep backdrop, but Ms. Silver saw it coming!
Melinda Kips to her feet as Shelly backs into the ropes. Ace King blind tags Shelly on the shoulder as she runs at the Rebel. The Rebel turns and drops to her knees, bending backwards in a prostrated position to avoid the grapple. Showing great leg strength she pushes herself up as Shelly lands, turns, and is caught in a 3/4th's necklock and delivered to the canvas with THE SHOT THROUGH THE HEART! Melinda covers her up, but the Ref doesn't start and points towards Ace King who is now entering the ring!
Mystery Man: SHOT THROUGH THE HEART!!!!
FBI: But on the wrong person! Mel didn't see the blind tag!
The Rebel doesn't even have time to fully get up when she's caught by a running knee to the side of her head, the blow sending her into a sideways sprawl to the canvas. as The Referee helps Shelly to her corner, Hayden Cambric rushes in to take liberties by coming in from behind and catching Ace King with a vicious low blow to the groin. Ace let's out a croaked, choking cough of pain and falls to the canvas cupping his groin. As Hayden gets to his feet, he sees Jeremiah Kelsey actually walk along the rope, leap off and is caught by a STEEP flying DDT to the canvas! As Jeremiah gets to his feet, he's instantly run down by Nostalgia and a running boot to the face that snaps his head back!
Mystery Man: This has been one hell of a match so far.
FBI: Gooch kicks, low blows, and pain, Oh my!
The Referee is immediately on all of them, ordering everyone back to their corners. Jeremiah rolls out of the ring, clutching at his head. As Ace King gets up slowly, he's suddenly caught in a 3/4th's Necklock, but luckily he thinks fast and shoves the Rebel off of him, forcing her to land on her rear with a bit of a skid on the canvas. Rhodes rolls to her feet blocks a kick from Ace, then ducks a follow up roundhouse kick and while he's off balance, she drops and throws both legs out with a low orbit dropkick that kicks his balancing leg out from under him and sends King crashing to the mat!
FBI: When in doubt, sweep the leg!
As he gets up, Rhodes is already on her feet and heading for the nearest set of ropes. Springboarding off the middle rope, she catches Ace as he gets to his feet and brings him crashing to the mat with a spinning neckbreaker! He rolls, clutching at his neck and head in pain. Melinda gets to her feet, crouches down low in her team's corner and sets up for the Rhodes Kill. Hayden Cambric slaps the Rebel's shoulder for a blind tag and steps in front of her. The Rebel glares holes through his back and slips back out onto the apron while he heads straight for the slow rising Ace King...
Mystery Man: It looked for a moment like Rebel Rhodes was setting up for her Rhodes Kill spear, but Hayden Cambric gave a blind tag instead.
Ace Turns and is caught by Hayden with a jawbreaker over his knee in perfect aping of Ace's High Roller Codebreaker! With some Stolen Valor, he hooks Ace's legs and lays across him for the pinfall!
Mystery Man: And there's Hayden with some Stolen Valor!
ONE!!!!
Shelly bursts through the ropes as Jeremiah hops on them. Rhodes and Nostalgia slip into the ring together....
TWO!!!
Nostalgia bursts forth and takes a high flying springboard Crossbody attack from Kelsey that rocks him off his feet! Shelly catches Rhodes with a running forearm strike, then lunges towards Hayden and Ace...
TTTHHHHRRRRE-BROKEN UP!
Shelly hits a standing Senton Splash across Cambric, rocking him right off of Ace King! As soon as she's on her feet, the Rebel bull rushes her with a tackle and shunts her through the ropes. She then turns in time to eat a dropkick from Jeremiah Kelsey that practically sends Melinda right through those very same ropes and landing right on top of Shelly in a heap!
Mystery Man: Back and forth this match goes! Where it stops? Hell if I know!
As Jeremiah gets to his feet from the dropkick, he finds himself caught by the throat with those large and powerful hands of Nostalgia's, lifted up in the air and calmly dumped out of the ring beside them via a choke lift and throw over the top rope.
Colin Hanks: And there's the Brawl big man, catching The Bullfrog by the throat and just tossing him out of the ring like a small child!
Nostalgia helps Hayden to his feet and the two suddenly get an idea as they watch Ace King slowly get up. They both rush in and grip Ace by the throat, only for Ace to fight back. He begins to hit both men with shots back and forth, but a quick overhand chop from Nostalgia drops him to one knee. The two then grab him by the throat, lift him off his feet and Double Chokeslam him to the canvas.
Mystery Man: Team Brawl hitting a double team Chokeslam on Ace king!
FBI: Get 'em a lozenge, he'll be fine!
The Referee then moves in and demands for Nostalgia to go back to his corner. He's joined by the Rebel just as Kelsey and Silver get back on their section of Apron. Hayden gathers Ace up and walks him over to their team's corner, where he tags in Nostalgia, who immediately gives Ace a stiff knee lift, followed by a scoop and a slam upon the canvas.
Mystery Man: And now Nostalgia showing his dominance with a knee lift and scoop slam combination.
Colin Hanks: Can't beat the classics, Man.
Ace, showing incredible toughness, rolls over and tries to crawl over to his corner, but Big Nos grabs his foot and starts yanking him back to the center of the ring. Ace flips over and tries to kick Nostalgia away but finds instead his other foot is caught. Nostalgia pulls him into a wheel barrel hold and starts to spin him around with the ON THE CLOCK, dragging Ace at first on the mat but eventually gravity and momentum combined with Nostalgia's freakish strength lift Ace.
Mystery Man: Like clockwork, Nostalgia just spins Ace round and round!
FBI: You spin me right round, baby! Right round like a record, baby!
When Ace is about hip level, Nostalgia lets him go but inadvertently sends him hurtling towards his corner. Wincing in pain from the hard landing, Ace slaps the first hand he makes contact with, Jeremiah Kelsey!
Colin Hanks: Or like A clock but the clock stops on the Rampage corner and Jeremiah gets tagged in by Ace King!!!
Nostalgia is coming on strong like a freight train, only for Jeremiah to vault to the top rope and fly off. He latches his legs around Nostalgia and whips the big man off his feet with a spinning Hurricanrana! Nostalgia is quick to sit up on impact, rolling to his feet.
Mystery Man: And a Hurricanrana with just enough stink on it to bring a big man down!
Jeremiah rushes in with a roundhouse kick that snaps Nostalgia's head to one side, promptly followed by a hard gut kick and a Killshot Jumping DDT! On impact, he rolls Nostalgia onto his back and hooks the leg!
ONE!!!
Rhodes and Cambric both slip a leg through the ropes, as do Shelly and Ace.
TWO!!!
Both Teams slip through the ropes...
THR-KICKOUT!!
Mystery Man: Nice DDT, but somehow Nostalgia survives it!
Nostalgia shoves Jeremiah off and both sides resume their places back on their perspective aprons. The Big man gets to his feet just as Jeremiah rushes to the ropes and springboards off the second to catch Nos in a 3/4th's Necklock, but he doesn't manage to drop him. Instead Nostalgia shifts his footing as if he had prepared for this, lifts Jeremiah high in the air and HURLS him to the mat with an explosive impact.
Mystery Man: Jeremiah was about to execute a Springboard Cutter, but Nostalgia just hurls him off like he weighs nothing!
FBI: Dude is freakishly strong, yo!
Nostalgia then gathers only to be caught by a leaping sitout jawbreaker that sends him staggering while clutching his jaw. Nostalgia turns to face his opponent, only to be caught by THE VETO superkick. Nostalgia faints dead away, falling flat on his back on the canvas. Thinking fast, Jeremiah climbs the nearest turnpost and signals for the Triangle. He then takes flight from the top rope with a Corkscrew 630 senton splash he calls THE TRIANGLE DIVE!
Mystery Man: And Jeremiah goes AIRBORNE!!!
At the last second, Nostalgia rolls to the side, letting Jeremiah crash and burn on the canvas in spectacular fashion. Jeremiah thrashes on the canvas, holding his guts as if his belly had burst and was suffering intense pain.
Colin Hanks: SSSSsss...OOOOooooo
FBI: Crash. And. BUUUUURN
Nostalgia gathers Jeremiah up into a Fireman's carry on his back walks him to the center of the ring, spins around and brings him crashing to the canvas with PAVLOV'S BELL!!! On impact, he rolls Jeremiah over for a pin!
Mystery Man: Nostalgia with the Pavlov's Bell, but can his team mates defend him long enough for the pin to make it count?!
ONE!!!
Everyone enters the ring in a flash!
TWO!
Hayden catches Ace Heart and the two start brawling, one effectively halting the process of the other. Shelly and Rebel did much the same themselves. Ace breaks free at the last second and dives for Nostalgia and Jeremiah!
TTTTHHHHRRREEEEE!!!
DING DING DING
Debrov: JEREMIAH KELSEY HAS BEEN PINNED!!!!
Mystery Man: And Sadly, a fan favorite has been eliminated!
Colin Hanks: I hope he doesn't take it too hard. The guy has a ton of promise, but Nostalgia was just too much.
The clubbing blow to the back was too little too late. Nostalgia shoves Jeremiah out of the ring, then sets his sights on Ace King. He and the US Champion start brawling in the ring, only for Hayden to join in, turning the fight into a two on one situation. The end result saw the two dump Ace out of the ring.
FBI: Team Brawl standing tall in that ring right now.
Meanwhile, Rebel Rhodes manages to get the upper hand on Shelly Silver and hurl her through the ropes! She nods with approval at both Hayden and Nostalgia, the three seeing clearly now they are in the lead. Hayden and Rebel return back to their corner as Shelly and Ace regroup outside. In the ring, Nostalgia stood, coated in sweat and visibly tired, but still feeling like he could go a little longer.
Colin Hanks: I certainly did not expect this team to rally in the way they have.
Mystery Man: The Rebel has certainly done a solid job of somehow rallying this group, even though any man could easily plunge a knife in her back at any minute.
"I can take him," Shelly said to Ace, pointing at Nostalgia. "You sure? I don't want you hurt," came Ace's response. She smiles and pats him on the cheek, "You silly, silly man. I got this." Shelly turns and slides back under the ropes as Ace climbs onto the apron, an uncertain look in his eye as he realizes his newfound solitude in the green corner....
Mystery Man: One by one, Brawl has been picking off Rampage's team and it's now a three on two scenario.
Nostalgia visibly stiffened, and not in the pants tightening way, as Shelly enters the ring. He points at Ace King and she merely shakes her head. The Big man begins to back up towards his corner, ready to tag... when suddenly he bursts towards Shelly Silver!
Colin Hanks: Rampage is at a disadvantage and HERE COMES NOSTALGIA!!
Shelly ducks the big man's swinging arm and catches him with a few swift kicks to the hip and side before catching him with a solid dropkick right to his knee that drops Nostalgia to a kneel. She then backs up, rushes in, and hits him with a spinning Headscissor DDT she calls THE FALLING RAIN!
FBI: HOLY SHIT!
Mystery Man: SHELLY WITH THE FALLING RAIN OUTTA' NOWHERE!!!
Shelly then rushes for the nearby ropes, springboards, and drops with a moonsault pin across Nostalgia!
ONE!!!!
Ace King rushes through the ropes just as Hayden does so, catching the man by surprise with a hard clothesline. He then goes for a forearm smash on the Rebel, only to have his arm caught, followed by a hard shoulder ram to the gut!
TWO!!!!
Melinda then lunges through the ropes and past Ace to save her team mate, but is caught....
TTTHHHHRRRREEEE!!!!
DING DING DING
Ace manages to keep the Rebel at bay, earning a hard back elbow shot to his face in the process that sends him staggering back!
Debrov: NOSTALGIA HAS BEEN PINNED!!!
Mystery Man: Nostalgia is gone and Team Brawl loses it's one bonafide powerhouse wrecker!
As Hayden rolls out of the ring, that leaves The Rebel as the legal woman for Brawl and Shelly Silver wastes no time going after her! She peppers Rhodes with stiff right hands before taking her by the arm and whipping her across the ring. With Ace still in the ring, Shelly catches the Rebel by her legs, lifts her up and falls back just as Ace catches her with a jumping DDT, drilling the Rebel skull first to the canvas with a brutal variation of the infamous 3D maneuver!
Mystery Man: A 3D DDT! Ace King and Shelly Silver double teaming Rhodes!
FBI: I like the out of context version playing in my head...
Colin Hanks: ...not a bad visual... I MEAN DAMNIT FBI!!!
On impact, Shelly makes the cover on Rhodes!
ONE!!!
Hayden Cambric slides under the ropes and Ace tries to run interference.
TWO!!!
Cambric surprises Ace by suddenly leaping up and hitting a vicious Superman Punch he calls THE GOD PUNCH! On impact, he tucks, rolls, and lunges at Shelly with both arms swinging down at her!
TTTHHHRRRRE-BREAKUP!
Cambric batters Shelly's back with both arms, breaking the pinfall up. He then gathers Melinda by the arm and drags her to his corner where he sets her up, then slaps her arm and rushes into the ring!
Mystery Man: Hayden Cambric with a huge save there, keeps the Rebel in play by dragging her to his corner and tagging himself in!
Shelly, meanwhile was on her feet and leaning against the ropes to catch a breather Silver shoves off the ropes and the Cambric suddenly shoots off like a bullet train towards her. Shelly can't react in time and finds herself folded nearly in half by a violent Spear. Hayden leaps to his feet, Ace forcing himself through the ropes, only for Melinda to burst through the ropes rush towards him with a flying shoulder block that rocks Ace right off the apron! She returns to her corner as Cambric heft's Shelly up and hits THE TOP POPPER Brainbuster. Upon impact, he hooks Shelly's leg for the pin....
FBI: Br-r-r-r-r-AINBUSTAH!
ONE!!!
Ace gets up outside the ring, shaking the cobwebs from his head...
TWO!!!
...He sees, Shelly and slides under the ropes...
TTTTHHHRRREEEE!!!!
DING DING DING
Dobrev: SHELLY SILVER HAS BEEN PINNED!!!
...But it's too little too late. Shelly was eliminated before he could do anything to stop it. Hayden is on his feet and both he and Ace rush full steam ahead, with Hayden ducking a running clothesline, but neither man stopping. Instead they both hit the ropes on either side of the ring, rebound and seemingly have the same idea as they both take stiff lariats that drop each other to the canvas! Dazed and stunned from dual Ricochet Clotheslines, Hayden rolls onto his hands and knees and starts crawling for his corner. The Rebel's hand is outstretched and he suddenly leaps forward, tagging her back in!
Mystery Man: After a double knockdown, Hayden tags in the Rebel as he's clearly disoriented. Ace King is a hard hitting man and he just found out the hard way. Now it looks like it's just Rhodes and King with a little help from Hayden Cambric!
FBI: I'd have thought it'd have come down to just two people, the Ruthless Hayden Cambric and Ace King, two guys who are as polar opposite as you can get.
Colin Hanks: It may still if the Rebel is forced to tag out at any point.
Cambric rolls onto the Apron, then picks himself up using the ropes. Meanwhile, Ace has risten to his knees, only to see The Rebel staring back at him. She shouts, "YOU READY, ACE?" He chuckles, weary and just as tired and beat down as she is, "I WAS BORN READY!"
The two rise to their feet and lunge at each other. He tries to pull her into the Big Slick STO, but she slips right out of it, trying to pulling him in for a DDT, but instead, he reverses the DDT into an improvised Northern Suplex Pin!
Mystery Man: You just don't see a Northern Suplex counter for DDT's very often anymore.
ONE!!!
TWO-BRIDGED KICKOUT!
Using every ounce of her surprising leg strength, the Rebel pushes both herself and Ace off the ground. He releases the hold, flips around and pulls her right into a standing headscissor. Ace then whips The Rebel up for a powerbomb, only for Melinda to flip over his shoulders and pull him into a Sunset Flip Pin!
Mystery Man: Rebel tries for a Sunset Flip!
ONE!!!
TWO-KICKOUT!!
The two of them roll apart Melinda goes for a wristlock, which Ace transitions into a standing Keylock. The Rebel turns the Keylock into a Hammerlock. Ace hits a back elbow and tries to kick her head off with a High Roller II, but the Rebel ducks the kick, leaps up, catches him in a 3/4th's Necklock and drops straight to the canvas with THE SHOT THROUGH THE HEART!!!
Mystery Man: SHOT THROUGH THE HEART!!! ACE IS DOWN!!!
On impact, Melinda Rolls him over, but doesn't go for the pin but decides to climb the nearby turnpost. Hayden Cambric watches from the corner as Melinda Rhodes executes the very move that cost her everything at MNB #496. She leaps off with a beautiful Corkscrew spin into a shooting star front flip and lands with an explosive impact upon Ace King with THE REBEL STAR PRESS! On impact, she hooks the leg!
Mystery Man: REBEL RHODES WITH THE REBEL STAR PRESS AND A PIN!!!
Colin Hanks: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MOVE!!!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!!
TTTTTHHHRRREEEEE!!!!
DING DING DING
Debrov: ACE KING HAS BEEN PINNED!!!! THE WINNERS OF THIS MATCH! TEAM BBBBRRRAAAAWWWLLLL!!!
FBI: Holy shit, they won it with two to spare!
There was a mixed reaction in the crowd, as much of the crowd would have clearly preferred their hometown hero to win. At the same time, it was hard to argue the quality of the match they had just watched. Rebel Rhodes rose up, a sway in her step, a fist in the air. She hurt all over, but in her mind, the pain was worth it. Hayden Cambric approaches her from behind a jealous, angry scowl that spelled murderous intentions on his face. He stops only because out of the corner of his eye he sees Nostalgia and AJ Johnson heading for the ring.
Colin Hanks: I thought for a second Cambric was going to do something, but here comes the rest of Team Brawl.
Together they gathered in the ring. There was a tense staredown between Rhodes and Nostalgia for several seconds, until suddenly he takes her arm and raises it in the air. AJ Johnson quickly shouts to the Rebel, "YOU COULDN'T DO THIS WITHOUT ME!!!" Melinda offers up a mere nod, then separates from the others, asking for a microphone.
Hayden Cambric, meanwhile, stays back from the others and decides that retribution will have to come at a later date. For now, he puts on a charming smile to hide his true intentions. She brought the microphone to her lips...
Rebel: Hey Price, we won motherfucker. Can't wait to hear your speech about how this was all your idea but I will say this...
...Melinda looks back at her team mates. AJ Johnson stands with his arms crossed over his chest. Hayden hangs back in the corner, and Nostalgia has his thumb hooked in the waistline of his tights.
Rebel: ...Gentlemen, it was an honor and a privilege to share this ring with you tonight. Thank you for having my back, even when a couple of you wanted to put a knife in it.
Hayden looks at the Rebel as if he were wounded, offended even, with a hand over his heart.
Rebel: Don't give me that look, Cambric. You knew that if you took that shot you were thinking about taking, Nostalgia was most likely going to fuck your ass up.
She shot a smile at Nos, who gave her a small nod in turn.
Rebel: AJ Johnson? You're an asshole, but like you shouted at me, WE couldn't have done this without you.
AJ nodded and replied, "Yeah that's right, baybay!" The Rebel turned and saw Ace King walking up the ramp along with Shelly Silver, a hand to his ribs in pain.
Rebel: ...Ace King. Thank you for giving me one hell of a fight sir. I'll buy you a drink after the show.
He gave a nod, a small smile, turned, and headed to the back. With that, the Rebel looks back to the crowd.
Rebel: And Thank you Las Vegas!
With the crowd giving a cheap pop, the Rebel tosses the microphone back to the attendant and Team Brawl leave ringside together. The Rebel and Nostalgia give each other a little fist bump as they disappear through the curtains to the back.
Mystery Man: Strong showing by Team Brawl despite their differences.
FBI: I don't get it though, you'd think the team that had better unity and less hostile members towards each other would have stood far better chances.
Colin Hanks: If you hadn't noticed, those that were the least team oriented were the first to go. Nostalgia quite literally was only taken out due to a surprise tactic by Shelly Silver. Few ever see her finishing move coming.
FBI: Yeah but I know for a fact AJ Johnson hates Rebel Rhodes' guts and of course there was that thing with Nostalgia and the Fleshlight business.
Mystery Man: Apparently, water under the bridge for one night only at the very least. However, it does warm my heart just a bit to see someone as genuine and sincere as Rebel Rhodes. She made a fan out of me tonight.

A million bucks on the line .. not to mention, the most incredible of bragging rights. Whoever wins tonight .. will be able to claim to have beaten every single current Champion in the EWC .. wow .. Lets get to the ring!
Nina Dobrev is standing in the ring as it continues to lower, one tier after another. She begins, as the cage is nearly to the ground.
Nina Dobrev: Ladies and Gentlemen it is time for your MAIN EVENT of the evening and is a DOOMSDAY CAGE MATCH!!! The winner of tonight's match will win $1,000,000.00
Nina gestures to the cage surrounding her, as the crowd loses their minds!!!
“YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
The cage is completely set up, and ready to go as she announces the all champion competitors.
Dobrev: Introducing first, from The Carnival Of Shattered Dreams, weighing in at 260 pounds, he is YOUR EWC PRIME Champion! STITCHES THE CLOWN!!!
'One Missed Call (2008) Theme' plays as the lights go dark. As the beat drops at around the thirty seven second mark the curtains are brushed to the side, smoke spewing out from behind the curtains, and out walks Stitches. A wide, red-painted Chelsea-esque grin is across the face of Stitches as he stares out at the crowd of people before him.
Stitches methodically makes his way down the ramp, staring down the crowd members who dare lean too far over the crowd barricade. As he reaches the bottom of the ramp he stops and once again looks out at the crowd of people before him. Stitches approaches the ref standing outside the ring, who tells him to hand him his title belt before entering the cage. Stitches stars blankly for a moment before yanking the strap behind his waste and handing him the belt. After entering the cage approaches the nearby steel stairs, climbs up onto the apron and begins walking the edge of the apron like a tight rope before reaching the nearby ring post. Stitches climbs up onto the second rope and throws his arms out wide for the crowd to embrace him. As expected, the crowd does not embrace a sinister-looking clown.
Stitches hops down from the rope and enters into the ring before approaching the nearby corner of the ring. Stitches turns around, facing the center of the ring and sits down in the corner of the ring, waiting for the rest of the Champions to enter.
Dobrev: And the next combatant, from Pallet Town weighing in at 148 pounds… She is YOUR EWC FSW CHAMPION… OTAKI!!!
A rev of a guitar, though easily being flooded out by a thunderous applause, causes all the lights in the arena to drop out into darkness.
On the road on the road
ON THE ROAD TO VIRIDIAN CITY
ON THE ROAD TO VIRIDIAN CITY
With that yell the lights suddenly burst into life, which reveals a woman in a purple cloak standing on the stage. While only her eyes and mouth could be seen from her hood. Her milky white skin, purple hair and the FSW Championship being wrapped around her waist making it rather obvious that this person is Otaki. Her cloak doesn't cover the front of her attire, a purple one-piece outfit with no sleeves or coverage for the legs and a pair of blue boots, as Otaki starts to go down the ramp-way. Once arriving the bottom of the ramp a smile appears on Otaki's face as she raises her hood up and off, revealing not only her face but also a red gem that is on her forehead! She too is told by the ref to hand over her title belt, she does so without issue and heads inside the cage. Once she reveals her face The Emo Princess moves up the steps and gets onto the apron before bending over the middle rope to enter the ring. Once inside the ring Otaki proceeds to take off her cloak, revealing the back of her outfit to any lucky man or lesbian in the crowd tonight as she neatly folds her cloak up and places it on the ropes nearest her. She bounces over to the ropes opposite. Stepping one foot on the bottom rope while stepping the other on the middle rope she lifts her Championship it up in the air to a loud ovation.
Dobrev: The Next combatant from Huntington Beach, California weighing in at 258 pounds, his is YOUR EWC TELEVISION CHAMPION!!! NEO JAMES CARNER!!!
"Fightin' Words" By Casino Madrid begins to play melodically over the loud speakers as the of guitars ascend to the boiling point and the song engages with a fierce snare and double bass drums.
Neo begins to make a triumphant strut down to the ring, his chin held high as one hand lay at his side moving with his stride, the other holding the EWC TV Championship on his shouolder. He looks down all around at the people at the side of the ramps, he keeps his bearded chin up as he glides effortlessly forward in a striding saunter.
Neo makes it to the ringside area, and laughs as the ref orders him to hand over his championship. He refuses but the ref tells him he needs to hand it over or he wont be allowed to enter the cage. Begrudgingly Carner takes the TV Title off his shoulder and hands it to the ref. Entering the cage, he circles around the ring, jumping up effortlessly onto the apron and climbs into the ring. He walks over to the ropes on the side of the stage as he grabs the top rope with his hands and then yanks down on it, flexing all of his muscles before releasing.
Peering out into the crowd he gives his bare chest a hardy slap. He has a grin on his face, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stares out into the crowd.
Neo rotates his neck as he steps to the nearest corner and leans against it cracking his knuckles and awaiting the match to begin.
Dobrev: And the next combatant from Atlanta Georgia, weighing in at 225 pounds. He is YOUR EWC X-DIVISION CHAMPION!!! THE MESSIAH… LUKE WOLFE!!!
The lights dim down to pitch black, as the sound of rain echos through the arena, as lightning flashes and the sound of thunder up on the Jumbo tron.
The sound of the tunderstorm fades out seamlessly, into "Invincible" by Skillet.
“Invincible" by Skillet plays to mostly boos from the crowd.
After a few moments a spotlight appears on stage illuminating Luke Wolfe standing motionless on stage.
After a few moments a spotlight appears on stage illuminating Luke Wolfe standing motionless on stage.
Smoke starts to build around him as he throws his hood back off his head, as the lights comes to life as pyro bursts from the stage! With the X-Division Title around his waist he slowly, he begins his walk down the entrance ramp toward the ring.
Luke slowly makes his way down the ramp. Luke, with a determined look on his face unbuckles the X-Division Title from around his waist and hands it to the ref, walking inside the cage he slowly walks up to the steps quickly getting to the ring apron and stepping through the ropes. He throws his arms open wide! As if he is emitting an aura of greatness!
Dobrev: The Next Combatant, from the Winds of Fortune, weighing in at 259 Lbs, he is YOUR EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION!!! CAPTAIN MORGAN DARKWATER!!!
The lights in the arena cut out as first notes of Captain Morgan's entrance theme, "The Sunk'n Norwegian", kick in and the screens around entrance fade in to the image of a perpetually burning skull-n-crossbones flag rippling in the wind.
A spotlight rises as Morgan saunters confidently out on the stage, holding an old-fashioned iron grenade in one hand, the fuse lit and sparkling. He laughs maniacally and throws it at his feet, where it explodes with a boom of pyros and smoke.
When the smoke clears he is holding the EWC International Title aloft with a wild gleam in his eye. With his other hand he points down the ramp to his opponent in the ring and roars "One More Match!!" Draping the belt over his shoulder, he laughs again and starts marching purposefully down the ramp. acknowledging several fans with low-fives and points into the crowd.
He hands over his title belt to the ref and heads inside the cage. He enters the ring through the over the top ropes, climbs the nearest turnbuckle and unsheathes his cutlass.
Dobrev: And Finally…
Hanks: This place is going to come unglued in a second…
The T-Mobile Arena plunges into darkness, and the crowd immediately gets excited. After a few seconds, the iconic Elvis Presley appears on the Tron, flanked by a score of Vegas showgirls.
How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Knowing what’s coming next, the Vegas crowd joins as one voice to sing along.
VIVA LAS VEGAS!
VIVA LAS VEGAS!
VIVA LAS VEGAS!
VIVAAAAAAA… VIVAAAAAAA… LAS VEGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!
‘Viva Las Vegas’ fades out, and the anticipation in the silence reaches a fever pitch until...
“THE ACE OF SPADES!!! THE ACE OF SPADES!!!”
Following Lemmy’s signature growl, the ensuing pop shakes T-Mobile Arena to its core; the audience explodes as the opening bass line to ‘Ace of Spades’ rips through the building. As the drums kick in, pyro goes off up and down the ramp in time with the beat, while frenetic red and gold spotlights pulse through the building before fixating on the ramp.
The Vegas crowd erupts once more as its native son finally rises from a platform through the smoke of the pyro and into the spotlights, the United States Championship over his shoulder, his best friend’s goggles atop his head, and the love of his life by his side.
Nina Dobrev: MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING, ACCOMPANIED BY SHELLEY SILVER… WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS, HE IS YOUR EWC UNITED STATES CHAMPION… AND SIN CITY’S VERY OWN… ACE... KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!
Ace King, still looking somewhat weary, stops at the top of the ramp to take it all in; a small smile crosses his face as Shelley puts her hand on his shoulder. He scans the crowd, doing his best to not allow tears to fall from his eyes. Then, he nods and points to the Vegas Strong logo over the heart of his t-shirt, pounding his chest three times before they finally make their way down to the ring, fans nearly jumping over the barricade as they seek his attention.
Mystery Man: What an unbelievable moment for this man! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve heard a building be this loud!
FBI: Yeah, now I know who to charge for my tinnitus treatment.
Colin Hanks: This must be what it was like to be in The Beatles!
FBI: I’d rather eat beetles.
Mystery Man: Ace has been through a lot recently, and even tonight. Remember, he JUST got out of the Brawl vs. Rampage Elimination Match a few minutes ago, and he didn’t hold anything back there, so you have to wonder just how much he has left for this Doomsday Cage Match.
FBI: They’re all vultures after his carcass.
Ace’s arms are outstretched as he can’t help but absorb what’s happening around him; the Vegas crowd is going ballistic in support of its own as he and Shelley take a moment to walk around the Doomsday Cage at ringside. The other Champions watch him carefully, and his expression becomes a bit more serious. Then, he spots his parents on the other side of the ring; he gives both of them a big hug, and Shelley follows suit.
After they break away, Ace hands over the United States Championship to the ref, and then Ace and Shelley walk to the cage door. They look at each other, then Shelley wraps her arms around him; with a kiss and a shared nod, they break apart and Ace takes a deep breath before stepping through the cage door, his focus now firmly on his fellow Champions.
Mystery Man: And that’s it, now as the champions make their way to their respective starting positions and the fabulous Nina Dobrev exits the cage, the ref will lock that door shut and this thing is about to get insane.
The refs chain and lock the door shut, as the champions push and shove each other as they get into starting positions.
Mystery Man: Okay, on the very top we have Ace King, and Morgan Darkwater! The US Champion vs the International Champion.
Hanks: In the Middle on the left we have the “Saviors” of… pretty much everything, Wolfe and Carner The X-Division Champion and the TV Champion.
FBI: And on the middle right we have FSW Champion Otaki and Prime Champion Stitches the Clown.
Mystery Man: Wow, this is really something. Listen to this crowd solidly behind their hometown boy!
“ACE! ACE! ACE! ACE!”
DING! DING! DING!
The match begins and it’s a complete brawl! The Champions caged like animals battle it out in this insane match! From a rooftop cam we get an above look at Ace King and Morgan Darkwater battling, as Darkwater has King pinned up against the cage with his arm across his throat! Wolfe nearly has Carner locked in the Triangle choke already! And Otaki and Stitches are exchanging lefts and rights!!!
Looking back up at the rook sky cam we see that Ace has broken free of Darkwater and is delivering repetitive blows to the knees of the big man! He has Darkwater down on one knee and delivers a DDT on the cage floor!
Hanks: You have to believe that being on the very top, has to be a major disadvantage for King and Darkwater. Ya gotta get all the way down into the ring before any finish can take place. They are have to make it down two tiers… Wolfe, Carner, Otaki and Stitches only have to go from the middle to the ring.
FBI: Either way… I don’t think any of them want to make that drop to the ring below the second cage.
We focus in on Stitches who tries to clothsline Otaki but she dodges with the Matrix Evasion! She stands back up and hits a running dropkick to Stitches who hits the corner of the cage and falls to a seated position! She looks around the arena smiling and goes to one corner of the cage to the other and crashes into him butt first at the last minute!!! She then stays in position and nails the stink face on Stitches!!!
FBI: I don’t know… if I was stitches… I think I would sit right there and enjoy the view…
While this is happening, in the otherside. Carner has gained the advantage on Wolfe. He has Wolfe on his back and he sets him up and executes FigurE InFInIty LegLock!!! Luke spins over screaming in pain as Carner wrenches it in!!! All the action happening at once we pull back and get a beautiful wide shot of all the action. The crowd is on their feet!
“THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!”
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!”
Back inside the cage, Otaki is standing soaking in the cheers from the crowd after her stink face, but Stitches is quickly back to his feet and he comes charging and Otaki turns around to keep on the offensive but Stitches nails a running DDT!!! Otaki’s head comes crashing down on the fensed floor. And Stitches is in the seated position, just… sitting there.
Back on top Ace is trying to get down to the next level by opening the door at the bottom of their cage, but Darkwater stands over him, and takes the goggles that are around the top of his head, and pulls them down and starts to choke him with them!!! Darkwater drags Ace back to the corner of their cage, and wont release the choke! We get a clip of several refs at the bottom of the cage looking up, all talking amongst themselves as to what to do, but there is nothing they can do but look up and watch helplessly!
Back on the right side, Carner has complete control over Luke Wolfe! He lifts up Wolfe in a powerbomb and SLAMS him against the corner of the cage! Wolfe looks to be overwhelmed and he cant catch his breath as Carner starts raining down punches on the messiah. Carner grabs Wolfe by the hair screaming in his face! He picks up Luke pulling him to the middle of the cage. He grabs Luke scoops him up lifting him up again into another powerbomb, and when he SLAMS him down, Luke falls straight through the trap door and crashed down to the ring below!!! He hits it with a crash and Luke appears to be out cold!!! The crowd is going insane as Carner looks down at Luke, admiring his handiwork.
“HOLY SHIT!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!”
HOLY SHIT!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!”
With Luke laid out in the middle of the ring, Carner spits down at him. He looks up to see that Ace has since broken free of Darkwater, and he hits the High Roller! Coming down right on the trap door Ace falls through to the middle cage! Ace holds his back in pain as Carner turns his attention to Ace. Carner Grabs Ace and smashes him face first into the corner of the middle cage! He smashes him one after another after another!!! Over and over again! While this is going on, Stitches has got complete control over Otaki on the other side of the middle cage. He has her locked in the Mandible Clutch! She can’t break free, but she tries everything she can to get out but it’s no use. Stitches eventually let’s go, and gives Otaki a HARD kick to the stomach and she rolls to the side of the cage. Stitches takes a deep breath throwing his hair back, just as Darkwater makes it to the middle cage. Stitches turns around and walks right into The Hangmans Noose!!! He lifts Stitches into the air, and Stitches clubs Darkwater’s arm trying to break free, but as he starts to fade, Darkwater SLAMS Stitches who then too falls all the way down to the ring below!!!
“YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!”
Mystery Man: This crowd seems pumped but I don’t think the wrestlers are having as much fun as they are.
Darkwater looks down at Stitches and then Otaki starts to get up and he immediately turns his attention to her grabbing her legs and swinging her and throwing her across the cage! Otaki hits the wall falling to the cage floor, and then Darkwater Slowly makes his way down into the ring. Hanging by one hand by the ceiling of the cage, he lowers himself right onto a waiting Stitches who drops him down with an Atomic Drop! Luke has since made it back to his feet, and has stumbled into the turnbuckle. Up in the middle cage NJC runs and nails Ace with Neo Classical Sympho-Knee!!! Ace flips landing on his face!
Hanks: OHHH!!!! Did you hear the smack on that one???
FBI: That might have knocked the lights out for Ace King…
Carner, looks out into the crowd breathing heavily, with a great big smile on his face, you get a good close zoom in shot of his shit eating grin. He takes a running start aiming for Darkwater and Stitches and LEAPS THROUGH THE TRAP DOOR! But in mid air Luke Wolfe has come out of the turnbuckle and caught Carner in a hurricanranna DDT!!!
“OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!”
FBI: Holy shit! Did you see the impact on that???
Hanks: The impact??? How about the timing by Wolfe??? How did he even pull that off???
Luke gets up to one knee with his hair hanging in his eyes. He balls up his fists and it appears that he is ready to go again. Otaki tries the same idea as Carner except she pulls it off as she flies through the air down to the ring landing on Darkwater and Stitches!
Mystery Man: Otaki flies!!!
Hanks: And Stitches and Darkwater fall!!!
FBI: I told you guys, Ace is up in the middle cage… He hasn’t moved since that knee from Carner.
Luke has Carner up, and in the turnbuckle. He steps up to the middle rope and begins a ten punch as the crowd counts along!
“ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
NINE…”
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
NINE…”
Carner reaches up and grabs Luke and again looks for a powerbomb! But Luke reverses it and turns it into a Franken Stiener! He manages to hold onto one of Carner’s legs, while he kicks the other! The ref slides in!
ONE!
.
.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
.
Kickout by Carner!
Carner managed to Kick out, but only right before Otaki was coming to break it up as she drop kicks Wolfe in the head, knocking him off of NJC! Otaki looks to take the advantage on the weakened NJC and goes to pick him up, but Carner rolls her into a small package!!!
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
.
Broken up by Wolfe!
Mystery Man: That was SO close! Carner almost won this thing catching everyone else napping!
FBI: Speaking of napping… Ace has started to move up there.
Ace is starting to stir above everyone else, as Otaki and Wolfe battle. She has Wolfe on the ropes and she hits the other side and comes back looking to butt bump Wolfe over the top rope! But her elevated leap allows Luke to grab her around the waist and execute a modified german suplex and both of them go tumbling over the top to the floor below! Stitches and Darkwater are still going at it, Stitches just seemingly absorbing every blow from the big man! Carner is back on his feet, and with Darkwater and Stitches against the ropes he hits one side of the ropes and comes flying across to the other and nails the Neo Classical Sympho-Knee again!!! And all three men tumble over the top!!! The camera pans back to an empty ring seeing Ace King get to his hands and knees in the middle cage.
“THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!”
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!”
NJC slides back into the ring and walks to the middle with his arms spread wide soaking in the reaction as if it were meant for only him. The chants quickly turn to booos…
Mystery Man: And Carner stands alone inside the ring!
Hanks: Not for long…
The crowd cheers as Luke Wolfe slides in under the bottom rope with a steel chair making it to his feet just as Carner turns around and Wolfe brings the chair down on the skull of Carner so hard that the chair bends on impact! The crowd ERUPTS!!!
“YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
Luke pays no attention to the crowd. He grabs his fellow savior lifting him to his feet. He hooks him, and looks out into the crowd. There is a small pop and Luke lifts Carner up into the air… Stalling… and then brings him down in the DOOMSDAY DROP!!!
Just as Luke slams down Carner, Ace has dropped down into the ring! The crowd ERUPTS as their hometown boy stands in the center just as the ref goes to count with Luke covering Carner. But before the ref can even get in position, Luke looks up at Ace and lifts Carner’s shoulders off the mat.
Hanks: What the hell???
Luke stands up and offers up Carner to an easy win to Ace. Luke rolls out of the ring… as the camera zooms in on him we can hear Luke “Take the easy way Ace! It’s what you do!” Ace looks down at Carner who is starting to move just a little, and Ace shakes his head NO! He Shoves Carner out of the ring under the bottom rope!
“YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
Mystery Man: All week we heard Luke say that Ace takes the easy win if he can… and he just showed Luke that he doesn’t want to win that way!
FBI: AND… it appears that he thinks Luke is number one!
With a great zoomed in shot we see Ace flipping Luke the bird, as Luke walks away with a grin on his face. But it proves to be a distraction, because Stitches slides in the ring behind him, and runs and nails Ace with BROPTON COCKTAIL!!! Ace flips through the air, and Stitches makes the cover!
ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
OTAKI LEAPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Breaking up the pin with the Macho Man Elbow Smash!!!
Stitches takes the brunt of the blow, and rolls out of the ring. Otaki is back on her feet, looking down at Ace who starts to get up to his knees. Otaki smiles as she takes a few steps back. She signals for BLOOD MIST! She sprays mist in the eyes of Ace King who is on his knees!!!
Hanks: OH!!! She got him again!
…But Ace doesn’t go down… Otaki is puzzled and when Ace pulls his hands away from his face it’s revealed that he got his goggles on before she sprayed him!!!
FBI: MAYBE NOT!!!
“YYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
Ace gets to his feet and the two go at it, but after a few blows each, Ace gets Otaki in the BIG SLICK! Otaki crashes into the turnbuckle! Ace takes off the goggles and tosses them on Otaki’s fallen body. But he doesn’t see Darkwater who has made his way back into the ring! He delivers a few blows to King and then walks up the turnbuckle…
Hanks: WINDS OF FORTUNE!
Darkwater jumps off the top rope but Ace catches him with a low blow at the last possible second!!! He turns around and Luke Wolfe has jumped to the top rope looking for a spring board flying forearm! But Ace turns it into a cutter out of nowhere! Wolfe and Darkwater roll out of the ring, as Carner runs in looking again for his running knee but Ace ducks it and sends NJC over the top rope!
Mystery Man: The hometown boy has come to life! He has an answer for everyone!
Otaki runs up behind Ace and nails THE GRAND FANALE!
Hanks: OHHH! Almost everyone!
Otaki with the cover!
ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
.
Stitches is in the ring and grabs Otaki by the hair pulling her off of Ace! He delivers a devastating backbreaker! The crowd is going absolutely insane! There is chants but you can’t make anything out! The crowd is at an absolute fever pitch!
Mystery Man: These are the champions of the EWC people! The absolute best there is in the world!
Suddenly you hear a THUD coming from the steel steps. The camera pans over and Luke Wolfe has pulled his razor wire baseball bat out from under the ring, he slammed it on the steps and it has Stitches attention! Luke gives an evil smile, as he walks up the ring steps and Stitches matches him with a smile of his own, waving for Luke to get in the ring. Luke walks along the apron and steps in and swings for the fences at Stitches face! But he ducks it! Luke turns around and gets a kick to the midsection from Stitches and drops the bat on the ground and Stitches grabs it slowly lifting it into the air.
“YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
FBI: That thing always ends up doing more damage to Wolfe then anyone else.
The first one to get nailed with it is Wolfe who gets it across the back! Carner approaches and Stitches nails him in the stomach with it! Darkwater is up and Stitches hits the big man in the chest with it… BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM TO FASE HIM!!! He shakes his head no, and Stitches swings again but the big man ducks it, and then nails Stitches in the back of the head! Stitches drops the bat! Stitches stumbles into the corner and Darkwater leans back on the ropes and holds Stitches with a foot choke. Meanwhile, Otaki has found the razor wire bat! She slowly picks it up, and as Wolfe approaches she quickly turns around and sprays him with the BLOOD MIST!!!
FBI: OHHH! How does it feel Luke? That’s something that his wife likes to do to everyone!
Luke falls to the mat in the corner grabbing at his eyes, and Otaki goes to town on everyone! Carner is back on his feet, and he is quickly sent to the outside as she clothslines him over the top rope with the neck of the bat! Ace stumbles to his feet and gets cracked square in the face with the razor wire bat from Otaki!!! Ace has been RIPPED SLICED BUSTED wide open! Stitches stumbles out of the turnbuckle and gets cracked in the skull as well!!! Darkwater turns around and she gives it everything she’s got and swings across his face and the big man goes down hard!!!
**At the same time, Ace King and Luke Wolfe have stumbled into each other and Wolfe has locked King in the Triangle Choke hold! This was at the same time that Otaki was going to town on the rest of the champions. Ace, looks to be fading but with the last bit of strength he has, he lifts Luke off the ground, and slams him powerbomb style into the turnbuckle! It loosened Wolfe enough as Ace picks him up and SLAMS him down over the top rope to the floor below!**
By now Otaki has just leveled Darkwater, and she again comes after Ace who drops her in a drop toehold and she goes face first into the razor wire on the bat! Ace gives her a stomp on the back of the head for good measure! As Otaki rolls out of the ring, Ace picks up the baseball bat. His face covered in blood. He stands looking almost memorized by it for a few moments, before taking it over and just tossing it ontop of the lifeless body of Luke Wolfe. Darkwater gets back to his feet, and Ace makes a B-Line for him and Darkwater walks right into him and Ace Growls as he lifts up the big man!
FBI: Can he get the big man up???
Hanks: No Way!!!
Mystery Man: BLACKJACK BOMB!!!
The crowd erupts and counts along!!!
“ONE!!!”
.
.
.
.
“TWO!!!”
.
.
.
.
“TRHEE!!!”
DING! DING! DING!
“YYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!”
Mystery Man: Ace has done it!!!
FBI: And he did it MORE than the hard way!
A ref hands Ace his US Title and he holds it up in the air as his music starts to play!
Dobrev: Ladies and Gentlemen here is your winner of the Doomsday Cage match and a cash prize of $1,000,000.00 … YOUR EWC UNITED STATES CHAMPION!!! ACE KING!!!!
Mystery Man: Listen to this crowd!!!
FBI: What the hell is that?
Mystery Man: What?
FBI: That…
Hanks: What the hell is that???
As Ace King celebrates in the ring, around twenty masked men are making their way down through the crowd.
FBI: Um… What the hell…
Hanks: I just… Um
They hop the guard rail and they start making their way into the cage. The champions all back in the ring by this point, all stand on guard as more and more masked men enter the cage and surround the ring. All the Champions back up into the center of the ring, all back to back ready to defend the ring.
Mystery Man: What the hell is going on here?
FBI: But our Champions aren’t backing down!
All of them, each Champion is waving for the masked men to come in and get some. Surprisingly working together to protect the EWC! The crowd starts to pop as the champions hold the ring. Suddenly another wave of masked men start to charge the ring from the entrance ramp and the masked men hit the ring! The champions break apart and start to battle it out with the masked men!
Hanks: What the Hell is going on here???
James Carner starts the battle and NAILS an entering masked man with Neo Classical Sympho-Knee!!! All Hell breaks loose and Wolfe starts to go after a crowd with his razor wire bat! A crowd tries to beat down Darkwater but their blows are having little effect! Stitches delivers a Brompton Cocktail! To one man and then Sound of Silence to another! Otaki is taking on a group of her own with her Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms! Ace King is delivering Full House Spin kicks left and right!
Mystery Man: Our Champions are defending the ring, and the Masked Men… whoever they are… are getting shown exactly why you don’t fuck with the EWC!
FBI: Um…
More and more masked men enter the cell.
One has to wonder how long they can hold up against these numbers.
Darkwater is laying guys out left and right, but a few more guys join in and they start to beat down the big man International Champion.
One Masked man catches Ace’s leg on a spin kick and lifts him up and then drops him down in a seated powerbomb, as more men begin to stomp out the United States Champion.
Wolfe, who was once holding his own with his bat, has since lost it and is on his knees, with two masked men each with a chair on either side of his head… they reach back and SWING cracking the chairs together! Con-Chair-Toe, to the X-Division Champion.
Carner is on the outside being double and triple teamed by the men as more join in. He gets thrown into the steel steps, fallowed up by a knee to the skull of the TV Champion getting a taste of his own medicine.
Otaki could only throw those open hands so fast for so long before they over powered her and, started choking the FSW Champipon with a chord!
Others punch and kick her in the stomach with her on her knees.
Stitches… Has since had his hands cuffed behind his back… and one masked man stands over The Prime Champion who is on his knees. He brings a steel chair down on his skull and it damn near echoes through the building.
The crowd lets out a loud round of BOOS, as the masked men overwhelm the EWC Champions.
“BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
Hanks: I… Um… I wish we could give you an explanation of what is happening here folks.
Suddenly the boos turn to cheers, as SMILE, THE CIRCLE, THE ReV’s, and LEGION and Shelly Silver all run down and storm the ring!
“YYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!”
Hanks: Here comes the Calvary!
All the stables storm the ring and the numbers game is quickly evened up! But the various members of Legion, The ReV’s, The Circle, and SMILE only get a few blows in as the entire ring collapses and the masked men exit as quickly as they entered and they escape through the crowd.
Legion surrounds Wolfe, The ReV’s all look out for NJC, The Circle are surrounding their big man, SMILE all crowd together…
Mystery Man: I… Um… there are no words here folks .. I cannot believe what just happened. I don't understand it. I don't .. this is just ..
… and Shelly Silver is seen holding Ace King’s limp bloodied head as refs and security begin to swarm the collapsed ring and the feed to StableWars comes to an end.
