El Chepacabra: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN Rampage is ON THE AIR!!! Welcome to an incredible night of Rampage, with the greatest roster of talent ever assembled in professional wrestling! We are on the road to Stranglemania and things are heating up like never before!
Payne: That's right, two weeks ago, two of Rampage's top superstars put on a wrestling clinic inside the steel cage, and then showed up at Brawl and took over calling THEIR cage match on Monday night.
El Chepacabra: And just this last Monday Night on Brawl, President Mac announced the Main Event at Stranglemania will be for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World and it will be contested between ALL of the EWC's Champions. And that includes Rampage's own United States and X-Division Champions Ace King and Luke Wolfe!
Payne: That's right wrestling fans and that leads us to tonight, where Luke Wolfe and Ace King will team together for the very first time, to take on Brawl's Neo James Carner and Kieth Williams from The ReVenants, tonight in our main event, I--
El Chepacabra is cut off with the lights dim down to pitch black and the sound of thunder, and flickers of lightning fill the arena as it appears on the jumbo tron. The crowd ERUPTS like they never have before for the coming of the man who calls himself The Messiah!!
The sounds stop for a moment, when "Invinceable" by Skillet hits the arena to a surprisingly positive ERUPTION of cheers from the fans!
Luke walks out on stage as the lights slowly rise within the arena and he is shocked by the reaction from the fans. He seems a bit confused as he stands on the stage with the X-Division Title on his shoulder. He pulls the belt down and holds it in his hand, a smile grows across his face, and he lifts the belt in the air and the camera pans showing fans on their feet. He places the belt on his shoulder again and walks down the ramp with a big smile on his face. Slapping hands with fans at ringside, you can tell that the acceptance from the fans is really touching him emotionally. He walks up the steps and steps in the ring, and throws his arms open!! The camera pans around the crowd catching a few Luke Wolfe signs.
"WORLD X-Division Champion"
"OUR Messiah!!"
"Luke Wolfe is Invincible!"
El Chepacabra: Luke Wolfe seems to be just as surprised as we are at this reaction from the crowd.
Payne: He's been getting somewhat mixed reactions from the crowd for a while now, but never since he arrived in the EWC three plus years ago has there ever been a reaction like this.
El Chepacabra: Well, he has never behaved like this before. We have seen him embrace the fans, by wanting to give them a World Champion here on Rampage by defining it by the X-Division, he has taken no cheap shots at his opponents in quite a while-- He really does seem to have changed, really turning a new leaf since his wife Annabelle was hospitalized close to a month ago.
Payne: Where is Legion?
El Chepacabra: That's a good question.
Luke raises up the mic as he adjusts the X-Division Championship on his shoulder.
Luke: Alright... I'm going to cut right to it. ACE KING! Get your ass out here RIGHT NOW!!!
Payne: Well so much for the new Brawl broadcast crew...

Y-Y-Y-You-You-You
You are NOT alone!
El Chepacabra: Well that is not the tunes of Ace King...
Payne: You know I hate to think that after all we have seen that Luke has brought Legion out here for an ambush...
El Chewpacabra: Typically in an ambush, the troops would come AFTER the target is in place, Jessie.
Payne: Gabe and Olivia do not look happy, and their eyes have been staring a hole through Luke since they came through the curtain.
El Chewpacabra: And Wolfe appears to be just as confused as the rest of us... Just what is going on here?
Gabe steps in the ring, fallowed by Olivia who rounds to the otherside of the ring in typical Legion entrance style, but Luke takes one look at Gabe and turns around to see Olivia.
Gabe's eyes never leave Luke as he paces from side to side, Luke stands confused as to what is going on, keeping an eye on Olivia who stands behind him.

Gabe immediately puts his hand over Luke's mic, and shakes his head no, as the crowd erupts in shock.

"OOOOOOOOOHHH"
Gabe yanks the mic out of Luke's hand, his eyes never leaving Luke's.
Gabe: No... No-No... You have said enough. YOU have preached ENOUGH Messiah!!!
He says getting right in Luke's face, mocking him with his sarcastic tone.
Gabe: Cuz, that's what this is, isn't it? The man with the golden tongue who can make believers out of even the most skeptical of people, is out here again... Playing games... Isn't that right Luke?
Luke shakes his head in confusion not understanding what Gabe is talking about.
Gabe: You... the man who see's ALL and knows ALL is ALWAYS watching right?? Well guess what Luke... WE have been watching YOU.
Luke turns around to see Olivia standing behind him with a devilish smile on her face.
Gabe: "Who's the franchise?" Really? You would even give Ace King even an OUNCE of credibility to call himself THE MAN here on Rampage? From the man who holds the "X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD!" The "REAL" World Champion! Yes, we've all heard your lies Luke... And you stand there and hold that belt like it belongs to you? Or... have you forgotten who HANDED you that championship last year???
Luke is stunned by Gabe's words pulling the belt off his shoulder, his body language clearly showing he has become irritated and angry. He trash talks to Gabe, but the camera can't pick it up.
Gabe: Yeah... That's right. If it were not for Olivia, and myself... You would be just as forgotten as you were when you just up and vanished into the darkness on me last summer. And you know what? We have been carrying you for too long while you stand in the spotlight and get all the credit, and we stand in the background and are afterthoughts. And now? You are getting an Undisputed Title shot as well? Ha! What a joke! Well Luke... We came to a decision when you decided to go to BRAWL... AGAIN... without even telling us... This time showing up with your new best friend Ace King to play like you were both broadcast partners. WE decided, Olivia and I, that we were not going to wait for you to do... What you did to Anarchy'16.
The crowd ROARS into a frenzy as Ace King comes running down the ramp wielding a steel chair of his own! But before Ace can get to the ring Gabe nails Luke with the CHAOStrophy! Ace slides under the bottom rope just as Luke hits the mat, and Gabe and Olivia high tail it out of the ring!
Gabe: No... No-No... You have said enough. YOU have preached ENOUGH Messiah!!!

"OOOOOOOOOHHH!!!"
Gabe: You remember that don't you Luke? I'M SURE ALL THESE PEOPLE REMEMBER! Come on! Remember how Luke Wolfe not only tried to tear down the EWC, but then turned his back on the people who tried to help him do it???
The crowd roars with a mixed reaction. Luke stands center ring, looking down at the ground, biting his tongue.
Gabe: Oh come on! You just cheered this man like he is your hero!!!
Gabe turns his attention back to Luke.
Gabe: But... I haven't forgotten. We had a good run... But you had to know this was coming... It had to end sometime.
Suddenly Olivia crashes Luke over the back of the head with a steel chair! She begins laying into Luke over and over again while Gabe smiles and watches! Gabe grabs Luke by the hair, forcing him to look at him in the eyes...
Gabe: Who's Invincible now?
He spins him around right into Oliva who CRACKS him in the skull with the chair once more! Laying out Luke in the middle of the ring. Gabe picks up the X-Division Championship, scoffs and then tosses it outside the ring like garbage. He signals for the CHAOStrophy! picking up Luke....

THE ACE OF SPADES!!! THE ACE OF SPADES!!!
The crowd ROARS into a frenzy as Ace King comes running down the ramp wielding a steel chair of his own! But before Ace can get to the ring Gabe nails Luke with the CHAOStrophy! Ace slides under the bottom rope just as Luke hits the mat, and Gabe and Olivia high tail it out of the ring!
Ace stares down Gabe and Olivia as they back their way up the ramp, as soon as they are at a safe distance he kneels down and checks on a beaten and bloodied Luke Wolfe who is starting to move.
El Chewpacabra: Well... I guess that answers our question... That, looks like the end of Legion.
Payne: And Luke, who is supposed to partner with Ace King later tonight, looks like he might be headed to the hospital!
El Chewpacabra: You know, I have to wonder... Id The ReVenants have anything to do with this? Did they get to Legion???
Payne: It really doesn't matter by now, Like you said, there is no more Legion. If they were behind it, it's already done.
The camera shifts back to Gabe and Olivia as they laugh as the camera fades and goes to commercial.
