As the camera pans around the Bell MTS Place once more, it finally comes to a stop at the announcers' table where we see Joe Aiello, Steve Bennett, and Max Carter.
Aiello: Good evening, everybody! Welcome to the Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada! We are north of the border tonight in MY hometown!
Carter: You're not the only one, Joe!!
Bennett: And I am damn sorry for anyone who is from this place!
Carter: That's not very... nevermind. Forget it.
Aiello: Ignoring what Steve has to say about this place, Winnipeg truly is one of the greatest cities in the entire Great White North!
Carter: And we will be bringing you some red hot action tonight!
Aiello: We have two tag team matches tonight, as Unholy Two debuts against Draco Lazarus and Happy of Collateral Damage!
Bennett: I knew that Happy boy was smart! He joined Draco Lazarus a day after he nearly won that X-Division Title from that whacked out Nostalgia! He just upped his own value and his own stock!
Carter: And, in another debut, The Limit will take on NSFW!
Aiello: Although, as we saw last week, The Limit has already made an impact on NSFW.
Bennett: You're damn right! Last week, they gave that punk Church what he had coming to him and they absolutely destroyed that red-headed brat Mike McGuire!
Carter: Speaking of tag teams, Night of Champions will finally showcase a Tag Team Championship match, our first since StrangleMania when Rob Garcia and Darian Gray won the titles.
Aiello: That's right, and, as we all know, Darian Gray almost immediately bolted from the company for whatever reason, leaving Rob Garcia as the only remaining ReVenant and the sole Tag Team Champion.
Carter: Well, he will defend those titles with, assumedly, Captain Morgan Darkwater at Night of Champions IF we ever see the captain again.
Bennett: We won't!
Carter: In any event, Rob Garcia will take on one half of MUCHO GRANDE!, who are the number one contenders to the Tag Team Championships, when he squares off with Carlos Ruiz later tonight!
Aiello: Kendrick Kross will look to bounce back from his Television Championship loss last week as he takes on the 1-0 Jimmy Allen. Guys, "The Catalyst" is surely looking to turn some heads and he can do that with a win over the former two-time Television Champion.
Carter: And Canadian Nick James looks for some northern luck when he attempts to get back onto the winning track as he looks to do so against Anthony Grunge tonight!
Bennett: I hope he wins that match. He's one of the best on this entire roster and he has been robbed for weeks!
Aiello: And, in our Main Event, we will have a Night of Champions preview of sorts as International Champion Griffin Hawkins takes on our Undisputed Champion Natalie Young. They'll both step into the ring for the first time since winning their respective titles.
Bennett: Yeah, I'll be gone and well out of Canada by the time that rolls round.
Carter: You will not, Steve!
Aiello: Folks, this is going to be a fantastic evening. We are going to step aside for a message from EWCTV and, when we return, we have a double debut! Iron Butterfly and Jamal Jackson collide NEXT!
Aiello: Good evening, everybody! Welcome to the Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada! We are north of the border tonight in MY hometown!

SINGLES MATCH
JAMAL JACKSON
VS IRON BUTTERFLY
Aiello: Welcome back to Monday Night BRAWL! We are now only two weeks away from Night of Champions!
Carter: And the Main Event is set! Amis Shelton, Nostalgia, Griffin Hawkins, and Natalie Young will represent Monday Night BRAWL in the Main Event while Prime's Candy, FSW's Xavier Reid, and Rampage's Ace King will add to the mix.

Bennett: Goddamnit will you two quit your yappin?! We're about to have a match starring the lovely Iron Butterfly makin' her debut! I don't know exactly how I feel about her, but she sure is good lookin'!
Aiello: And her opponent tonight will be another person making a debut in Jamal Jackson. Folks, we were able to catch some footage of Mr. Jackson after his arrival earlier today and, well... things haven't been so smooth for Jamal thusfar...
EARLIER TODAY
The scene opens backstage at Monday Night Brawl. We see Jamal Jackson walking down the back hall of the arena. He is wearing a white wife beater and blue jeans. He is walking quickly. As he walks down the back hall he is stopped by a security guard. Jamal looks at him up and down and smirks. The security guard puts out a hand as if to say that he is not allowed to walk any further. Jamal pauses for a moment and then looks at the security guard as if he is out of his mind. The security guard, who is dressed in a black top, black dress pants and matching dress shoes. He begins to speak.
Security Guard: Excuse me sir, are you supposed to be back here?
Jamal looks at the security guard and laughs to himself.
Jamal Jackson: I am a damn superstar here in the Extreme Wrestling Corporation. Of course I am supposed to be back here - I have a big match tonight. Now if you don’t mind, I am going to go to catering, eat a big steak and then get ready for my match. If you think I don’t belong here you can always try to throw me out big boy, but I wouldn’t recommend that. Now just step aside and let me carry on my way.
Security Guard: Hey man, I am just doing my job. My job is to make sure that there aren’t people back here that aren’t supposed to be back here. Tell me, who are you?
Jamal Jackson: Really? You’re doing this to me right now? I can’t believe this. You know what? You’re a damn joke. I can get you fired if I wanted to. Now, for the last time, I am going to tell you to leave me alone. I have a big match tonight and you’re really distracting me right now, understand. Now I am trying to be a nice guy but if you don’t let me do what I want to do there is going to be a problem.
Security Guard: You didn’t answer my question sir, who are you?
Jamal Jackson: Fine, you know what, I’ll tell you. I am Jamal Jackson, the best thing going today in the Extreme Wrestling Corporation. I’ve been wrestling for exactly three years this month and I am not someone you want to mess with. I am going to beat everyone here and maybe, just maybe and hopefully I’ll get the damn respect that I deserve.
Security Guard: Jamal Jackson? I’ve never heard of you before, but I am going to allow you back here. I assume this is your first match here?
Jamal Jackson: Why are you so damn nosey. Why don’t you piss off and leave alone. I am a damn wrestler and if you don’t piss off I am going to kick your ass right here and then toss YOU out of this building. Damn.
Jamal Jackson then continues to walk down the back hall of the arena. We see workers pulling cables and getting ready for the big show. As he walks down the back hall he finds the catering room. There are a few people in there although there are no other superstars. He walks in and grabs a plate. He puts some salad and a big steak on his plate and sits down. Before he can take his first bite, a beautiful blond woman comes over to him. Jamal looks up at her with an annoyed look on his face.
Jamal Jackson: Yes? What do you want?
Woman: I’m Wendy. I was just wondering if I could get a picture and maybe an autograph. I won an all access backstage pass on the radio. Do you think you can take a picture with me?
Jamal Jackson: Can’t you see that I am busy? Can’t you see that I am eating my supper right now? I am so damn tired from being interrupted. I deserve more respect. No I don’t want to sign an autograph or take a picture right now. I have a big match tonight and I need to concentrate on it. I don’t want to be mean but between you and the security guard, well you’re driving me crazy.
Wendy and her friends look at each other and give each a look.
Wendy: Okay, well thanks anyway.
Jamal Jackson shakes his head and then grabs a fork and then starts eating.
EARLIER TODAY
Carter: Since then, we have received word that Jamal has calmed down and we can only assume that he was acting out in nervousness.
Aiello: Regardless of what it was, let's go to Jessica in the ring to introduce our two newcomers.
Stroup: The opening contest for the evening is a singles match and is scheduled for one fall! About to make his way to the ring, from Ottowa, Ontario, Canada! Standing at 6’5” and weighing in at 235 lbs! Here is Jamal Jackson!
“Holla if you Hear Me” hits the loud speakers and the camera goes onto the entrance way. We see Jamal Jackson, wearing his white wife beater and blue jean shorts come out to the top of the entrance way. He raises his arms in victory and then slowly makes his way down to the ring. Once he is at ringside, he tosses some steel chairs in the ring and slaps hands with the ringside fans.
He then jumps on the apron and steps through the ropes. He walks to a corner and climbs up, raising his arms in victory. He then gets down and walks right beside the ring announcer and poses to the crowd by raising his arms in victory. He then finds a corner and waits there for the match to start.
Carter: It’s something about the energy of this crowd that ignites a fire in you, and Jamal is a person that can feed off of that fire. When you go out there to prove that you are the best of the evening, especially in the opener, you have to go all out. And judging by how Jamal just entered in, I would say he is going to prove that.
Bennett: That son-of-a-bitch hasn’t proved anything other than he likes rap music and has no taste in ring gear! Look, you can only judge someone in the ring when they fight, not when they just walk out and get the crowd going.
Aiello: Jamal Jackson has been competing in pro wrestling for three years now, so we want to give him a warm welcome to EWC. And hopefully his opponent provides a good challenge against him.
Stroup: And his opponent!
"No Easy Way Out” by Robert Tepper plays and Iron Butterfly comes out looking like a tiny ball of nervous energy.
Stroup: From Omaha Nebraska, weighing at 115 pounds.......... Iron BUTTERFLY.
She begins her walk down the aisle but is startled by the pyros going off behind her. She clutches her chest from the heart attack she just had and finishes her walk to the ring. She high fives some of the fans before entering the ring and pacing around nervously.
Bennett: Are you serious? Are you actually serious?
Carter: Iron Butterfly, obviously full of jitters right now, but very ready for this opening contest. I for one am very excited to see how she competes.
Bennett: No. No she isn’t. She’s very obviously not. Look if Pyro freaks you out, you have nothing. You have literally nothing to do in this ring.
Carter: So much for you calling her lovely just a moment ago.
Aiello: I agree with Carter on this one. Iron Butterfly should be an interesting opponent for the seasoned Jamal to face off against.
DING DING DING
Iron Butterfly stares up at Jamal who is quick to advance to her. She quickly slips out of the ring, holding up the time out signal as Jamal just stares at her incredulously from inside the ring. She bends down, tying her already tied boots a bit tighter before slowly inching back into the ring. As Jamal quickly moves to grab her, she slides back out of it telling the ref to back him up. Jamal simply shakes his head, backing all the way up to the ropes before Iron Butterfly finally slides all the way in. She lets out a few slow breaths before raising her arms up for Jamal to do a test of strength with. As Jamal goes for it she ducks under his arms grabbing the top rope and shaking her head violently.
Bennett: That's it... I...hate this. I hate her. I already really don’t like her. She’s a coward. What’s the point of her even coming here?
Carter: Iron Butterfly here proving to be a slippery opponent for Jamal, choosing to not fight him outright. She’s not going to go at Jamal’s pace here.
Aiello: I will admit, it’s a bit concerning to see her this scared to participate in a matchup, but honestly I’m interested to see how quick she turns to fighting.
Jamal turns around, shaking his head in annoyance as he tries to pull her from the ropes, which she stubbornly refuses to move from. He relents to letting go of her back, instead grabbing her ankles and lifting her legs off the ground, exposing her stomach which he capitilizes on with a hard kick to the abdomen. She quickly lets go of the ropes, falling face first onto the ring and clutching at it in agony before Jamal grabs her by the head. He whips her towards the ropes, running it himself before following up with a hard running knee to the side of her head, dropping down for a cover.
1...Kickout
Carter: Woah, Jamal firing on all cylinders here. Quick to take down Iron Butterfly and going for a cover though, though she kicked out of it pretty aggressively. She’s not done yet.
Aiello: Jamal isn’t letting her antics get him riled up, which is pretty smart by him. Those antics could prove to be the end of him in this match.
Bennett: That was a pretty hard hit by that sum’ bitch. I mean, I’d be able to take her out with one of those, but you know, he can try.
Jamal sighs as he lifts her up to a stand, throwing a vicious forearm to her jaw. Iron Butterfly drops to a knee as Jamal lifts her up once again, throwing another equally hard forearm and following it with a combination of punches and elbows. She falls back against the ropes, nearly slipping out as Jamal follows her. Jamal grabs hold of her arm, trying to pull her neck into the top rope, but she smirks and slides directly out of the ring, bringing Jamal neck first into the rope himself.
Bennett: Ok, that was a good counter. I’ll give the coward that one.
Jamal coughs, looking out at Iron Butterfly, who realizes what a bad position she’s in. She quickly starts heading under the ring as Jamal follows her angrily. He slides under the ring, but pulls himself back out, confused as to why he can’t find her. Meanwhile, Iron Butterfly slowly walks around to the other side, shushing the audience before charging towards Jamal. He turns a little too late as she flies in, delivering a hard shotgun like dropkick to him. He flies back, sliding against the ground before she slides back into the ring, letting the ref continue his count as she lays down in the middle of the ring, checking her breathing.
Aiello: Smart strategy by Iron Butterfly, taking out her competition with a hard dropkick, and then going back into the ring. A countout victory is still a victory.
Carter: Well, it’s a strategy. It’s not exciting but it’s a strategy.
Iron Butterfly watches Jamal with a worried look before looking around the ring. She bounces the ropes as Jamal painfully slides back into the ring, unable to stop her as she grabs hold of his neck and bounces from the ropes. She spins around, dropping him down with the Parkooooooouuuuur!! Springboard DDT connecting hard as she tucks his legs up for the pin!

3!
Bennett: What?! No!
DING DING DING
Stroup: Here’s your winner! Iron Butterfly!!
She quickly rolls out of the ring, holding the side of her head as she raises her arms happily, the crowd torn between cheering and laughing.
Bennett: No! No! No!
Carter: Iron Butterfly pulling a victory seemingly out of nowhere here! What a move to capture the win in her debut match!
Aiello: Bennett... Bennett are you ok?
Bennett: Just...just...go to commercial. I can't deal with this.
Carter: Ooookay. Well, we will be right back after these messages when Collateral Damage takes on the new tag team of Unholy Two!
We see Iron Butterfly celebrating up the ramp as we cut to commercial.
TAG TEAM MATCH
UNHOLY TWO
VS COLLATERAL DAMAGE
Aiello: Welcome back to Monday Night BRAWL! From one debut match to another! Iron Butterfly and Jamal Jackson showed what they were made of. Iron Butterfly was the one, however, who was able to come away with the victory!
Carter: And now it's time for the debut of a new tag team on the scene, the Unholy Two! Let's move to Jessica in the ring to get this one started!
Stroup: The following contest is a tag team match and it is scheduled for one fall!
The arena goes dark and silent before the sound of a slow heart beat pumps over the sound system. It slows to a flat line and 'Return of the Tres' hits, replacing it as the arena is bathed in red light. El and Roach step out from the back, looking around the arena before sauntering down to the ring in their own time.
Stroup: Introducing first... at a total combined weight of 413 pounds... El and Roach... the Unholy Two!
El rolls in beneath the ropes as Roach steps in over the top. They meet in their corner, briefly discussing who will start things off.
Aiello: And these two men look rather intimidating, Steve.
Bennett: Sure they look like bad MFers, but can they wrestle?
Carter: We will see about that. One thing that seems to be sure... they look like they can fight!
Their music fades out. Suddenly we hear the beginning of Beethoven's 5th Symphony followed by the roar of a motorcycle engine. The crowd erupts into boos. Happy drives out from the back on his custom Harley. He stops atop the stage and looks out to the crowd both left and right and revs his engine before he rides towards the ring. Shortly after, "The Golden Boy" Draco Lazarus steps onto the stage. He stops, crosses both arms, and looks down on the fans with a smug look on his face. He points the Golden Cane at a few fans and starts to berate a few fans before pulling it back and putting it down. He acts as if he is a conductor, with his Middle Fingers, waving them around to the crowd to match the beat of the music.
Stroup: And their opponents... at a total combined weight of 461 pounds... Happy and Draco Lazarus... Collateral Damage!
Happy steps off of his Harley putting his glasses down on it and then taking his Cut and laying it onto the seat of the bike before sliding into the ring. Meanwhile, Lazarus starts throwing Monopoly money into the crowd. He acts like he is going to high five a fan, but pulls his hand away and runs it through his hair. He hops onto the apron, goes through the ropes, and circles Jessica Stroup a few times. He begins “making it rain,” on Jessica and then the referee with the rest of his Monopoly money. He points into the crowd and yells “You poor people SUCK!” then begins stretching and heads to his corner next to Happy. He takes off his suit jacket, and acts like he is going to throw it to the crowd, but just drops it outside the ring and laughs. He hangs his cane on the bottom rope of his corner as he and Happy await the bell.
Aiello: Well, here comes arguably the most hated man in the EWC, Draco Lazarus.
Bennett: I don't know what you're talkin' about. I love the guy! AND he is teamed up with my man Happy! This is a match made in heaven!
Carter: Well, we will...
Bennett: It's the best thing ever!
Carter: We will see...
Bennett: It's a GOLDEN MATCH!
Carter: Steve, come on! Enough!
Bennett: What in the hell has gotten into you?!
Carter: ...sigh... We will see if they can walk away victorious tonight over the rookie duo of the Unholy Two.
DING DING DING
In a match that can go any way possible given the two teams, Happy and Roach start off in the ring. Roach walks up to Happy and they stand nose-to-nose, grinning at each other. Roach rears back and headbutts Happy right at the top of the left cheekbone, creating a gash early on.Aiello: Wow. One move and Happy is busted open.
Bennett: Damn good thing this isn’t a First Blood Match!
Carter: I don’t know what’s more disturbing… the impact behind that headbutt or the fact that Happy is smiling.
Indeed, the camera looks at Happy who has a huge smile on his face. He reaches back and lays a haymaker to Roach’s jaw. Roach stumbles backwards, grabs his jaw, grins, and the two begin slugging it out with closed fists in the middle of the ring. Draco Lazarus jumps around like an excited child on the apron while watching this. El stands and stares stoically across the ring during the commotion. Happy gains the upper hand after about fifteen seconds, landing a hard clothesline on Roach and taking him down to the mat. Happy stomps right on Roach’s face and then kicks him in the ribs. Roach rolls over towards his corner and Happy just lets him tag El into the match with a slap on the knee by Roach.
Aiello: Happy didn’t even try to stop him from letting the fresher man in.
Carter: These are some sick and twisted guys!
Bennett: I’m entertained as hell!
El slowly gets into the ring and stalks towards Happy. Happy raises both hands and screams at El to “bring it!” El kicks Happy in the gut, doubling him over briefly. He delivers a double axe handle smash to Happy’s back, knocking him down to his hands and knees. El steps forward around Happy’s head and grabs him around the waist, lifting him up and driving him into the mat with a hard powerbomb. Happy’s head smacks off of the canvas and El drops into a cover.

Draco Lazarus is in the ring and stomps on the back of El’s head. El gets up quickly and stares right at Draco. Draco smacks El right in the left side of the face, creating more anger on El’s face. El takes one step towards Draco and Draco leaps through the ropes and to the floor. As El is busy being focused on Draco, Happy has gotten up to his feet and spins El around, driving him down with a cutter! He sits up on his butt and looks over at Roach laughing, but not making a cover. Draco stands up onto the ring apron and laughs hysterically into the ring, pointing at El while he laughs.
Aiello: I’m so lost right now. I don’t know what kind of mind games either of these two teams are playing.
Carter: I think these guys all just want to punish each other, save for Draco Lazarus who is going to pick and choose his spots.
Bennett: I’m loving this!
Happy reaches up and wipes some of the blood off of his cheek, then wiping the blood on El’s shirt. He laughs as he slowly gets to his feet. Suddenly, he sprints over to the Unholy Two corner and nails Roach with an elbow, knocking him off of the apron and to the floor. With one down in the ring and one down on the outside, Draco Lazarus starts screaming for a tag. Happy stomps on El twice and then grabs his wrist, dragging him closer to the Collateral Damage corner. Draco slaps Happy on the back to tag himself in.
Aiello: How opportunistic of him.
Bennett: How SMART of him!
Draco catapults himself over the top rope and into a knee-drop across the forehead of El. He rolls through in a somersault and sprints across the ring. He bounces off of the ropes and drops an elbow right into the heart of El. He covers.

Kickout by El.
Draco looks at the referee and screams at him for a slow count. The referee insists that it was two and Draco flips him off. He gets up to his feet and runs over to the ropes once more. This time, however, Roach reaches into the ring and trips Draco, causing him to fall flat on his face. Draco grabs his nose and looks outside of the ring at Roach. Draco begins screaming obscenities at Roach, who takes offense and steps up onto the ring apron. Draco turns and moves towards his own corner, tagging Happy in and saying that his nose hurts. Happy steps back through the ropes and is met by a punch to the ribs by El, who has now gotten up onto his knees.
Aiello: Seems like Draco Lazarus wanted out of this match as soon as Roach stepped up onto the apron.
Bennett: Ah horse shit! His nose hurts! Didn’t you see what happened? That’s a golden nose!
Carter: Give me a break, Steve.
El is now up to his feet and he drives a forearm into the side of Happy’s neck, causing a bit of a stinger to send tingles through Happy’s arm. Happy walks around the ring shaking his arm loose as El runs and delivers a big boot to the side of Happy’s head. Happy falls through the ropes and to the outside. El moves over to his corner and tags Roach back into the match. Still up on the apron, Roach jumps off and drives the heel of his boot right into Happy’s left eye. Happy, already bleeding from that side of his face, reaches up and grabs at his face. Draco sprints alongside the ring apron and shouts at Roach, who briefly turns his attention to Draco.
Aiello: Happy really is taking quite the beating here.
Bennett: He’ll be fine!
Carter: The left side of his face can’t feel good right now.
As Roach turns his attention back towards Happy, Happy is up on his knees. Blood is dripping down the left side of his face, but a sadistic smile spreads wider than ever across his mouth. He motions for Roach to “come on!” as the referee’s count is at four. As Roach approaches, Happy grabs Roach by the pants, falls backwards, and slings Roach into the steel ring steps. Happy slowly gets up laughing as he rolls into the ring. Draco is screaming at him, so Happy walks over and tags Draco into the match. Draco, looking to avoid El, jumps off of the apron and sprints around the side of the ring. He runs at Roach and drives a knee to the side of Roach’s head. He lifts Roach up off of the ground and rolls him into the ring at the count of eight, then goes for the cover.

THR-El is in the ring and sprints at Draco, who sees him coming and slithers underneath the bottom rope, breaking his own count. He begins to head up the ramp, leaving Happy confused on the ring apron
Aiello: Somehow, Draco Lazarus is going to have to fight in this match!
Bennett: He don’t gotta do shit! He’s The Golden Boy! See that? He’s leaving right now!
The referee gets El out of the ring and Roach rolls out under the bottom rope. He runs at Draco, who turns and nails him with Fuck This Noise. Happy and Draco both start laughing, knowing the plan all along.
Aiello: He may be an interesting individual, but that Draco Lazarus can outsmart just about anybody!
Bennett: Not me! I knew he wasn’t actually leaving!
Carter: Uh huh… sure…
Draco grabs Roach by the hair and yanks him towards the ring. He rolls Roach into the ring and follows. As he pulls Roach to his feet, Roach breaks his hands and delivers a gut punch that leaves Draco hacking and coughing. Then Roach hooks him up and drives his head into the mat with a vicious DDT. Both men lay on their backs as the crowd gets slightly behind Unholy Two.
Aiello: The Winnipeg crowd is getting behind the rookies.
Carter: Let’s see if they can finish Collateral Damage off!
Bennett: Doubt it!
Draco and Roach begin to stir. Roach starts to crawl towards his corner. Just before reaching El, Happy is in the ring. The referee runs over to Happy to keep him out. Roach makes the tag! El comes in on fire and stomps away at Draco Lazarus! Happy exits the ring and the referee turns around and sees El stomping on Draco. He runs over to El and stops him from kicking Draco. He yells at him that he isn’t the legal man. Meanwhile Happy sprints over to the other side of the ring and rolls Roach back into the ring. He yanks El out of the ring and nails him with The Demon Awaits on the outside! Draco is up to his feet. Roach is up to his feet. Draco stomps on the mat a few times and then nails Roach with Sweet Shin Music, followed up by the Gold Star! He covers Roach.

Stroup: Here are your winners… Collateral Damage!Draco rolls out of the ring and he and Happy head quickly up the ramp, both with large smiles on their faces.
Aiello: Well, Collateral Damage stole one, essentially.
Bennett: They didn’t steal a damn thing! They earned that one!
Carter: Whatever you say, Steve. Well, coming up after a quick break, we've got "The Catalyst" Jimmy Allen taking on the former EWC Television Champion Kendrick Kross! Don't go anywhere, folks!
Draco and Happy are seen at the top of the ramp with smiles still on their faces as we move to commercial.
The cameras return from commercial and pick up Xavier Reid as he walks towards the Bell/MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba with his cousin Tlatoani Volando…
Tlatoani Volando: Wow, who knew these Canadians took their border security so seriously…
Xavier Reid: Do you not watch the news…
Tlatoani Volando: Nope, it’s so boring, you know what would make it better...every time they report on someone being shot YOU DO A SHOT...it would make the news so much better…
Xavier Reid: You’re an idiot…
Tlatoani Volando: That’s what the border agent said...I seriously think he was an El Pablo fan…
The two walk in and flash their ID’s to the Monday Night Brawl staff…
Monday Night Brawl Staff Member: You’re late…
Xavier Reid: Yeah I know...someone got detained at the border…
Xavier looks over at Tlatoani who just smiles and waves at the Brawl Staff Member…
Tlatoani Volando: Hello…
Monday Night Brawl Staff Member: Did he refuse to take off the mask?
Xavier Reid: That wasn’t the issue…
Tlatoani Volando: We have a doctor who claims it will cause me GREAT anxiety to remove my mask in public and if people can board the plane with their therapy dogs I have to be allowed to have my therapy mask...plus…
Tlatoani Volando pulls out his passport and opens it to the picture and…
The Brawl Staff Member shakes her head in disbelief…
Tlatoani Volando: I love that we live in a world where you have to now accept me as is...do you know the hell I went through in school, showing up the first day in mty new mask...kids can be brutal…
Xavier Reid: Anyways, someone was busted trying to board the plane with nunchucks and throwing stars…
Tlatoani Volando: Just covering my ass, you saw what Villano, Perdido and Abando did to El Pablo and he will know that I knew about it...so there is a very good chance that when El Pablo wakes up and remembers what happened he will decide to go all Punisher and come for all of us...and I wanted to be ready but NO...you can’t bring weapons on the plane to Canada...I swear they are becoming more French each and every day…
Xavier Reid: Our hands are clean on that attack, we weren’t there…
Tlatoani Volando: But we knew about it...we knew they were there…
Xavier Reid: Did we? We were there to scout Candy and when the show ended we were still backstage off guerilla watching the screen...hell we heard about the attack same as everyone else in the building did...when the EMTs rushed outside…
Tlatoani Volando: Yeah, you try and tell him that when he’s standing over your body asking you ‘what color of the rainbow does your body bleed…’
But before Xavier can tell his cousin how stupid he sounds Brawl’s Ace Heart walks up to the pair…
Ace Heart: Well well...Xavier Reid, the FSW Champion, can’t say I’m surprised to see you here tonight, with two of the seven Champions in the Main Event…
Xavier Reid: I’d be stupid not to come here and get a first hand look at Natalie Young and Griffin Hawkins…
Ace Heart: Seems like you have a plan…
Xavier Reid: I would expect to see Ace King, Nostalgia, Amis Shelton and Candy here tonight and if they aren’t then they are doing themselves a disservice...tonight Natalie Young and Griffin Hawkins did what Ace King and I did last week at Uprising, we give everyone a little preview of what’s to come and you can learn a lot about them inside that ring against a common opponent and to be honest with you I haven’t seen much of either Griffin or Natalie so it’s a crash course at this point to learn as much as I can about them before 27th…
Ace Heart: If you want to have any chance you might…
Xavier Reid: I have been in the ring with Ace, Nostalgia and Candy...I can tap into past experience with them but Natalie, Griffin and Amis are a mystery to me...you see them on TV or catch a YouTube clip of them from time to time but you don’t see how fast they are or how strong they are when you aren’t in that ring with them and I don’t want to flush this opportunity down the drain or just be one of the seven in this match...I’m not in the Night of Champions match to make one of the other champions look good I’m going into that match like I go into all my matches...to win the damn thing...to pull of the upset of all upsets and take that Undisputed Championship back to the FSW…
Ace Heart: Yeah we heard that all before from others in the FSW but the facts are that the Undisputed Championship has only been on Brawl and Rampage and there is a good reason for that...their wrestlers are seasoned and ready for the moment…
Xavier Reid: That’s crap, Megan Treamon and Magdalena Lockheart were seasoned stars in the EWC when they had their shot, they could have walked out that night as Undisputed Champion and would it really have shocked anyone? What people around here fail to see if that the FSW isn’t littered with green rookies...we have stars on that show that can hold their own against the very best of the EWC and stars that could take some of these championships if given the opportunity and I hope Brandon Carter Banks can make that happen...I really do but right now I am only focused on the 27th and MY opportunity…
Ace Heart: And that’s what brings you to Winnipeg?
Xavier Reid: Hell yeah, tonight I get to watch two of my opponents mix it up in that ring in the Main Event and just like last night when I was in Cypress, Texas to watch Prime and Candy I’m here to watch and learn and prep myself for Night of Champions and be ready to go once that bell rings…
Ace Heart: Well best of luck and enjoy your night here at Brawl…
Ace walks away as Tlatoani Volando walks over…
Tlatoani Volando: All good there, did he say anything about El Pablo?
Xavier Reid: El Pablo doesn’t matter right now, all that matters tonight is Natalie Young and Griffin Hawkins...now let’s go find somewhere we can watch the Main Event…
Xavier motions for his cousin to follow him and the two make their way down the hallway...
SINGLES MATCH
JIMMY ALLEN
VS KENDRICK KROSS
Aiello: Welcome back. Well... the FSW Champion is in the building. Last time we saw him on BRAWL, he lost to Dominic Sanders.
Bennett: Who?!
Carter: Oh yeah. Act like you don't know who Dominic Sanders is.
Bennett: Doesn't ring a bell.
Aiello: Anyway, we just saw some great tag team action. Unholy Two had a very impressive debut, but they just came up short.
Carter: That's right. And the action continues. Coming up next, newcomer "The Catalyst" Jimmy Allen will take on the former EWC Television Champion Kendrick Kross.
Bennett: I never get tired of hearing that!
Aiello: Let's go to Jessica in the ring to introduce the 1-0 Jimmy Allen!
Stroup: Now making his way to the ring, hailing from Dallas, Texas....."The Catalyst" Jimmy Allen!
Pyros hit and "A Warrior's Call" by Volbeat begins to play as Allen makes his way to the ring.
Aiello: Jimmy Allen has been a rather quiet guy so far.
Carter: But sometimes you don't need to be a loudmouth. Isn't that right, Steve?
Bennett: I don't know what in the hell you're implying!
Allen steps through the ropes and into the ring as he waits for Kendrick Kross to arrive. His music fades and is followed by 'Seven Nation Army' hitting the PA System. The lights flash red and white with each bass drum hit illuminating the stage briefly. When the snare comes in the rest of the lights come in to reveal Kendrick standing in the middle of the stage with a slight smile on his face. When the cymbals hit in as the words "leave it alone" are said red and white pyro shoot from the side of the stage as Kendrick proceeds down the ramp.
Stroup: From Chelsea London, weighing at 215 Pounds....Kendrick KROSS!
Kendrick continues his way down the ramp slapping a few hands and with each cymbal strike the red lights brighten. As he reaches the end of the ramp he smiles and takes a left turn and walks up the steps, climbing in through the top and second ropes. He walks to the middle of the ring and looks out into the crowd before walking over to his corner and hopping up onto the turnbuckle awaiting the ring of the bell.
Aiello: We will see if Kendrick can bounce back from a heartbreaking loss to Amis Shelton last week, ending his second Television Championship reign at only seven days.
DING DING DING
Kross and Allen look at each other for a moment. Suddenly, Kross sprints across the ring at Allen. He lunges mid-stride and lands a forearm across Allen’s face. Allen staggers backwards as Kross continues to approach him. Kendrick begins laying the boots into Allen’s left hip. He then lands a thunderous kick to the back of Allen’s hamstring, dropping him down to one knee right next to the ropes. Kross drives the point of his knee into the side of Allen’s head, dropping him down to the mat. Kross sprints across the ring and bounces off of the ropes, delivering a baseball slide to the side of Allen’s head and knocking him under the bottom rope and to the floor.Aiello: Well there’s some serious aggression that I am not sure I have seen out of Kendrick before.
Bennett: He actually looks worth a damn!
Carter: He’s always been worth a damn, Steve. He’s a two-time EWC Television Champion. He beat Ruthann Hunter, which says enough already, and Bishop Church, who hadn’t been pinned up until that point since joining the EWC.
Bennett: Yeah. And held the title for a total of 20 days. Real impressive!
Kross sizes Allen up, looking for the aerial attack to the outside. Once Allen gets to his feet, Kross leaps and lands a springboard shooting star press from the top rope, through Allen, and to the floor. The crowd appreciates that move seconds later…
HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Kross gets to his feet and grabs Allen by the hair, pulling him to his feet. The referee has his count at three, notifying Kross that he has plenty of time. Kross drags Allen over to the ring steps and slams his head down into the steps. He lifts Allen’s head again and does it a second time. Allen grabs his forehead and stumbles away from Kross, trying to catch his breath. Kross climbs up the steps and onto the apron, temporarily breaking the referee’s count as he admonishes Kross. As Allen turns towards Kross, Kross sprints alongside the apron and leaps with a somersault plancha! Allen, however, has enough in him now that he brushes Kross aside and Kross lands on his back on the floor.
Aiello: Nobody home for the former Television Champion.
Bennett: What a stupid son-of-a-bitch!
Carter: Why? Because he went for it? Because he wasn’t playing it safe?
Bennett: That’s exactly why!
Allen grabs Kross and pulls him up to his feet. After a stunning forearm across the bridge of Kross’ nose, Allen rolls Kross back into the ring. He climbs up onto the apron and slingshots himself over the top rope, landing a leg drop across Kross’ throat. He notices that Kross’ nose has been busted open from the forearm shot earlier. He grabs Kross’ head and delivers two more hard forearms right to the bridge of Kendrick’s nose. He drops Kendrick’s head and goes into a cover on Kross.

KICKOUT.
Aiello: “The Catalyst” has found a way to turn this around and has even busted Kross open here.
Bennett: He smelled blood in the water and went after that tattooed freak.
Allen gets off of Kross and pulls Kendrick to his feet, blood dripping off the bridge of Kross’ nose. Allen Irish-whips Kross hard into the corner, Kross’ sternum caving into the padding and buckling him backwards onto the mat. Allen steps through the ropes and sizes Kross up. He springboards off of the top rope and lands a senton right in Kendrick’s sternum. He goes for another cover.

KICKOUT just before three!
Bennett: Come on and finish this not-so-pretty boy off!
Carter: Kendrick is in a little bit of trouble here.
Allen gets up to his feet and goes over to Kendrick’s legs. He goes to pick up Kendrick’s left leg, but as he does this Kross uses his free leg to sweep Allen’s legs out from underneath him, causing him to hit the mat hard. Kendrick grabs ahold of Allen’s left leg and puts him into a knee bar, putting loads of pressure on the former injury that Jimmy Allen came into the EWC with. Allen screams in pain, but refuses to submit.
Aiello: Kross is trying to make the new guy quit.
Bennett: It ain’t gonna happen! Ain’t nothin’ that Kross can do that will even hurt somebody!
Carter: Judging by “The Catalyst’s” screams, this doesn’t necessarily feel good!
Allen manages to reposition himself to where he can rear back his other leg and he lunges it forward, driving his heel right into the cheekbone of Kendrick Kross. He does this a second time, forcing Kross to break the hold. Allen rolls up onto his feet and he slowly bounces off of the ropes and drives a knee right into the bloody nose of Kross. He goes for a cover.

THRE-KICKOUT!
Allen smacks his hands together, thinking that should have been a three count. He looks over at the referee, who assures him that it was only two and a half. Allen gets up off of the ground and decides that it’s time to finish Kross off. He looks down at Kross and waits for him to get off of the ground. He has his hand raised into the air as he waits for Kross. Once Kross finally gets to his feet, Allen lurches forward looking to lock Kross into the Homage! Kross ducks out of the way! He hooks Allen up and nails him with a double-underhook DDT! He waits until Allen is up to his hands and knees, sprints over to the ropes, bounces off, and jumps into the air, coming down with The Tramp Stamp! He rolls Allen over into the cover.

Bennett: Well that was disappointing!
Carter: I thought it was a great match, Steve!
Aiello: And we have plenty more great action tonight when we return!
The camera show Kross celebrating in the ring with “Seven Nation Army” playing throughout the Bell MTS Place as we go to a commercial break.
SINGLES MATCH
NICK JAMES
VS ANTHONY GRUNGE
Aiello: Monday Night BRAWL rolls on! Nick James takes on Anthony Grunge! Something has to give tonight! Both of these men have not had a good time on BRAWL lately. Grunge, despite a positive attitude, has not been so lucky against Young Sinatra since that man debuted. And James? Ever since his huge victory over Grizzly Duggan, he has fallen prey to Kendrick Kross, Mike McGuire, and Rob Garcia.
Carter: The momentum has to shift for one of them tonight and right now we are going to find out!
Bennett: Nick James, the man with two first names, that’s my pick right in his home country! Plus Grunge is a damn moron!
Aiello: Anyway, Jessica, take it away!
Stroup: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first….hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and weighing 250 pounds…. NICK JAMES!
The beginning of "Get Up" by Skrillex ft Korn begins to play as electricity animates through the light boards around the arena. As it returns to the main screen, JAMES appears on the screen as the drop in the song hits.
"I, am clearly broken and no one knows what to do"
James appears from behind the curtains as the lyrics begin. He has a hoodie covering his face. He stops at the top of the ramp.
"Times are looking grim these days..Holding on to everything, It's hard to draw the line"
He turns around as the drop hits and red lights start to flash throughout the arena
"SHUT THE FUCK UP GET UPPP"
The wobble from Skrillex hits and he turns around, removing the hoodie and walking down to the ring.
James ignores the crowd as he slides into the ring.
Stroup: And his opponent...weighing in at 210 pounds and hailing from Hollywood, CA …. ANTHONY GRUNGE!
"In the City" by The Eagles plays on the PA. system. Anthony Grunge walks down to the ring with his Singapore cane, smiling and waving to the crowd. He's wearing a white t-shirt that says "No Frills" and white short tights. The referee immediately grabs the cane from Grunge and tosses it to the outside.
Nick James and Anthony Grunge stare each other down. Suddenly, without warning, James jams his hand down the front of his trunks and rummages around. Grunge looks on with bemused interest. After a moment, the Mad Legend produces… a bag of frozen Ore-Ida tater tots! Hauling back, he heaves the bag of frozen chopped and formed potatoes right into his opponent’s face!
DING DING DING
Carter: Did I miss something here? What was that all about?
Bennett: Nick James was just tryin’ to be nice and Grunge is being a damn baby!
Aiello: Well, tater tots ARE one of Anthony Grunge’s favorite foods. I do SUPPOSE that was an... act of kindness?
Before he can recover from the spuddy assault, James gives Grunge a mighty shove into the corner and begins throwing hands. His attack is relentless, barely giving Grunge a chance to breathe and knocking him to a sitting position on the mat. Referee Paul Turner intervenes and tries to get James off of his beaten foe, but the brawler keeps coming back like a rabid bulldog!
Aiello: If James isn’t careful here he’s going to get himself disqualified right off the bat.
Bennett: What’s wrong with a damn fight! Ref’s being too damn strict with my man James if you ask me.
Turner’s intervention is a blessing, though. While James argues with the referee, Grunge takes the opportunity to shoot a foot out, knocking the Mad Legend to one knee! Quickly, Grunge uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet and is out of the corner like a bullet out of a gun, ricocheting off the opposite ropes and zooming towards Grunge, but whatever intent he may have is brought to a brutal halt as James catches him into a sidewalk slam! Not wasting time, he covers, not bothering to hook the leg.
1
Grunge kicks out. Incensed, James screams at Paul Turner, using colorful language to describe his officiating.
Bennett: Clear bias! That count was as slow as damn molasses in Fargo in January!
Carter: It was not and you know it.
Aiello: Either way, James is NOT a happy camper. He’s still giving Paul Turner an earful.
True enough, Nick James seems to have no intention of stopping his tongue lashing of the official. But while he’s occupied with protesting the one-count, his opponent has long since recovered. Reaching over, he taps James on the shoulder only to be shooed off as the bigger man continues abusing the ref. Grunge frowns in irritation and taps him again harder, only to have James swat at him. Finally, either angry at being ignored, fed up with James’ cruel treatment of the zebra, or both, Grunge physically spins Nick James around to face him and yanks him down into a small package!

James VIOLENTLY kicks out, popping to his feet with utter rage in his eyes. Out of nowhere, he lifts a leg and boots Grunge right in the face, flooring his opponent and pacing about like a caged tiger.
Aiello: He’s not even going for the cover. Nick James is becoming more and more unhinged as this match goes on.
Bennett: Oh, he is not unhinged! My man knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s just toying with that weirdo, you’ll see.
Carter: Is that such a good idea though? Anthony Grunge isn’t someone you want to mess around with.
Bennett: Don’t sass me, son. Shut up and watch the match.
James has a devious look in his eyes and he grins almost manically at the crowd, giving a scream of ‘FOR CANADA!’ producing a small, almost uneasy pop from the Winnipeg crowd. Turning back toward his opponent he grabs on, looking for an All-Canadian Piledriver, but no! Grunge counters into a back body drop! James is running on angry adrenaline and rebounds fairly quickly, but no sooner does he get to his feet than Grunge gives him a hard superkick right to the breadbasket!
Not wanting to give the obviously unglued Canadian a chance to recover, Grunge scrambles up the turnbuckle like a squirrel up a tree.
Bennett: Aww, that was a cheap shot. The people here in Canada wanted to see their hero break that loopy sucker’s neck!
Carter: ...you’ve had a real vicious turn of mind lately, Steve. Even for you. I don’t think the good people of Winnipeg want to see ANYONE’S career ended like that.
Aiello: Grunge up top here, looking to capitalize, and I think he’s about to fly!
Indeed he is! Grunge looks to execute a beautiful hurricanrana off the top turnbuckle, but unfortunately, James has recovered and catches him right out of the air, throwing him down into a powerbomb so violent the entire ring shakes!

DING DING DING
Stroup: The winner of this match via pinfall, NICK JAMES!!!
Nick James grins wickedly at his fallen opponent before kicking his dazed carcass unceremoniously out of the ring. The Mad Legend eyes him with cruel intent, but apparently thinks better of it and shrugs with an audible mumble of ‘whatever’. Turning back to the official, he points emphatically at his own wrist, insisting that Paul Turner raise his hand in victory, and is all somewhat disturbing smiles as Turner complies before going out to check on Anthony Grunge.
Carter: What has gotten into Nick James?
Bennett: He’s just turned up the voltage a little bit! It’s working, isn’t it? Hard fought and well deserved victory here tonight in front of these booing ingrate sons of bitches.
Aiello: In any event, Nick James gets back into the win column.
Carter: It's been awhile for him, but I am sure he can breathe a sigh of relief from that one.
Aiello: When we return, we will have a bit of a Night of Champions preview when Carlos Ruiz takes on Rob Garcia! We'll be right back!
We go to the back where Griffin Hawkins is in his locker room. He's stretching as the International Title is present on the bench. He sees someone off camera.
Into the shot comes Victor Price to a chorus of boos.
Price: Relax Griffin, I come in peace. I just wanna say how good it is to finally have you on Brawl. Since you've come back you've been showing why you are indeed one of the most exciting superstars in EWC history. I just wanted to wish you good luck tonight.
Griffin Hawkins: My ass is for sitting Mr.Price, not for kissing. You obviously came here for a reason. So..before this turns into a make out session, why don't you give me that reason.
Price: First and foremost, I'm not kissing your ass. I happen to hold you in high regard. From the moment you signed on the dotted line at WrestleFest, I knew I was getting a big star. I knew it wouldn't take long for you to get some gold around your waist..and I turned out to be right.
Griffin Hawkins: Well..yes you were.
Price: I think you're an amazing talent Griffin, you have it all, you got the superstar look, the charisma, the championship pedigree, the fans adulation..you got everything except...one thing. And that is the Undisputed Title.
Griffin Hawkins: I am looking to rectify that at Night of Champions.
Price: I'm glad you said that. Because I think you deserve my endorsement to become Undisputed Champion. Natalie Young, she has proved she has no respect for authority..you saw that for yourself last week when I tried to help her out. The sooner we get that belt off that disrespectful bitch, the better off we'll all be. That's why I believe you would be a much better representative for EWC. I can see it in your eyes Griffin..you want the Undisputed Title, you want everything that comes with it...money..power..respect..recognition. I mean you don't want to die and on your tombstone reads.."..yeah but at least people liked me". You want them to build a monument in your honor. I am offering you something that you have been wanting since you were a kid..this is your legacy..you have the opportunity to build it up. With my help, you can be the greatest EWC Undisputed Champion of all time. All you gotta do is accept my offer.
Griffin looks like he's pondering it.
Griffin Hawkins: Well...I have always wanted to be Undisputed Champion...the Kingpin of EWC. Chances like this don't come around often. It wouldn't hurt to have some help in high places..
Price: I knew you were a smart guy Griff, so do we have a deal?
Griffin Hawkins: Well I would say we do, but I have a problem. See..I can't shave with my eyes closed. I gotta look in the mirror.
Price: What does that have to do with anything?...
Griffin Hawkins: See...I gotta look in the mirror every day so I can face my reflection. But if I said yes to your offer, I wouldn't be able to face myself..or my wife and kids.
Price: But this is for them too..this is to ensure their future.
Griffin Hawkins: I've already ensured their future. See Victor...I'm not stupid...I'm not buying your Snake oil. You made the same offer to Natalie last week and she turned you down..so now you're coming to me, sucking up to me, making offers for this, offers for that. I don't believe in hand outs. When I started here I promised the fans that I would make it to the top on my own.. so I'm not gonna be your little ass kissing yes man. Unlike you, I respect Natalie, and I think she deserves that title. If the opportunity presents itself, I'll be the one who takes the title, but it won't be for you. So the answer..is no.
Victor looks serious.
Price: You're making a big mistake Griffin...this is my one and only offer.
He then grabs the International Title.
Griffin Hawkins: You see this belt? I earned it. Every belt I ever won here in EWC, I earned on my own..I didn't need the boss' endorsement. And if I win the Undisputed Title, it'll be because of me..not you. So you can go run along and find some gullible moron to be your boot licker, because I'm not for sale. And if you get in my business...we're gonna have problems. Now get out of my way.
He brushes past Price as he glares after him.
SINGLES MATCH
CARLOS RUIZ
VS ROB GARCIA
Aiello: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s been a wild night so far. And right now it’s all about the road to Night of Champions. Many eyes may be the huge champions match but the Tag Titles are also on the line. MUCHO GRANDE! at Scars and Stripes earned a shot at the Tag Titles against Rob Garcia. That’s right, folks. Remember Rob Garcia is the Tag Team Champion. Morgan Darkwater is penciled in tentatively to be his partner. But well, he’s missing!
Carter: He was abducted!
Bennett: You don’t know that! Those sons-of-bitches could have just been giving him a ride to his hotel!
Aiello: Anyway, tonight, Rob Garcia over on Rampage competed with Grizzly Duggan. And while Duggan didn’t come up the victor - Garcia also lost. So tonight, he looks to get a definite victory over MUCHO GRANDE! via Carlos Ruiz!
Carter: And, despite an early exit from the Tournament of Prime, Carlos has been on a hot streak! MUCHO GRANDE! is undefeated and Carlos is no slouch on Prime! He picked up victories over Trixie and Kristian Bane!
Bennett: Enough yapping already!
Stroup: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is a NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS PREVIEW MATCH!
"Bamboleo" by Gypsy Kings 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.
Stroup: First, from Madrid, Spain!... weighing in at 212 pounds, he is one half of MUCHO GRANDE! Carlos RRRRRRRRRUIZ!!!
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.
Stroup: And his opponent …
She waits for Noon to interrupt. Jeff Noon does not.
Stroup: Alright, and his opponent …
?: Carlos! Mi amigo!!!
El Jarabe Tapatio begins to play over the PA system. Carlos smiles through the absurdity but it has only just begun.
Aiello: The Mexican Hat Dance??
Out from the back rides Rob Garcia. On a donkey backwards. He has a red, white, and green poncho on. On top of his head is an oversized sombrero. The donkey’s behind has a beard taped to it.
Garcia: How fitting that we are right here in Canada! Some would even call it North Mexico!
Aiello: Full disclosure: no one has ever called Canada "North Mexico."
Bennett: You know, it has a ring to it!
Carter: It does not!
Garcia retrieves a bottle of tequila from under his poncho.
Garcia: Let’s celebrate as fellow countrymen should! It even has the worm in it! We got off on the wrong start, compadre! I know you gotta be bored from watching Grizzly Dumbass pumping ‘iron’ all day so forget this match. Let’s party!
Ruiz, for his part, just shakes his head and beckons for the Tag Champion to get into the ring.
Garcia: Viva la raza, Carlos!!
The music cuts off as Noon rushes to the stage. He begins to whisper in Rob’ ear.
Noon: ...tried to stop you...tried to let you know...Carlos...not Mexican…
Rob rips the sombrero off his head.
Garcia: What!? F*ck!!!
Carter: Whoa, where are the bleeps coming from!?
Aiello: Rob Garcia has requested that all curse words he may say be bleeped. He said he, and I quote, ‘has an image to uphold’.
Bennett: That’s right, so watch your f*ckin’ mouths around the tag champ! Wait! Why did mine get censored?! I'm not even Rob Garcia! God d...
Bennett's microphone gets cut off and he realizes it immediately. He has a pissed off look on his face as he crosses his arms and leans back in his chair.
Garcia hops off the donkey, strips away all of the attire down to his ring gear. Noon disappears to the back, donkey in tow. He marches down to the ring sans music, introduction, or much his normal swagger. Perhaps even a little embarrassed. Carlos Ruiz however seems nonplussed at the whole ordeal.
They meet in the middle of the ring.
Aiello: I expect Carlos to put up a clean fight here but Garcia. Well you know what he is capable of.
Bennett: I think you’re just prejudiced against Garcia!
Aiello: Don’t you dare pull that card after all this, Steve!
Carter: Oh, they’re starting with a handshake!
DING DING DING
They circle each other. Collar and elbow tie up. Rob quickly transitions into a side headlock. Carlos wriggles free and goes behind. Reverse hammerlock. Rob twists free, breaks the hold, and goes back into the headlock. Carlos pushes Rob forward. Rob runs, bounces off the ropes and leapfrogs over Carlos. Bounds off the other side of the ring. Carlos drops to his back with his legs in the air. He uses his strong appendages to monkey flip the Tag Team Champion into the air. Rob corrects himself in mid air and lands on his feet! Right at the same time, Carlos kips up.
Both men are at at stand off but the Monday Night BRAWL audience certainly appreciates it!
Aiello: I gotta say, I’m absolutely surprised at Garcia here. Maybe it’s Jeff Noon that is causing all of these hijinx.
Bennett: There you go! Doubting Garcia. He is a self-made millionaire and premier athlete!
Carter: Ability aside, he has only seemingly defeated people through shenanigans and steel chairs. I’m taken aback by this but you know? The night is still young and Garcia still has plenty of time to disappoint.
Now in a surreal display especially for Rob Garcia, both men go for a test of strength!? They lock hands. Garcia exerts his weight advantage and bends Carlos’ hands the wrong way. Rob forces Ruiz to a knee. Garcia presses forward and puts Carlos on his back. But the luchador from Spain puts his legs in the air and has Garcia in the air like surfboard! Their hands are still locked. Face to face grimacing from the predicament they’re both in.
Garcia tilts forward on the pendulum that are the bottom of Carlos’ boots. Both of Carlos’ hands go on the mat and referee Paul Turner sees that Carlos shoulders are pinned the mat!

Carlos shoots his right shoulder up. Garcia slams the wrist back and the shoulder into the mat.

Left shoulder up. Rob pressures his wrist back down.

Carlos uses his legs to flip Garcia over him! Both are flat on the mat. Hands are still locked. With the double wrist holds locked in, Garcia spins Garcia back to his feet and takes over him over head with wristlock suplex with a beautiful bridge high up on his tippy toes!
Garcia’s shoulders are down!

2
Garcia escapes the bridge!!
Aiello: Both men almost snuck out three counts in this contest. Any second Rob Garcia is going to cut a corner here to get an advantage.
Bennett: Shaddup! I don’t wanna hear it no more from you!
Carter: You don’t want to hear the truth? Come on, Steve, are you serious? The only reason why he defeated someone like Lockheart was via a steel chair! This will end up being much the same. I just feel it. Garcia will do ANYTHING for the victory.
Back to square one. Both men are to their feet. Garcia charges. Deep arm drag by Carlos. Back up. Garcia takes over Carlos with an arm drag of his own. Back up. Both men have the same idea with a standing dropkick. Both hit air. Carlos kips up again but Garcia starts to show some frustration.
Garcia: Screw this!
He is slower to his feet and then just turns around to leave the ring! Carlos sneaks up behind Rob with a schoolboy!

2
Rob breaks free with an indignant look on his feet. Both men get face to face!
Garcia: You cheated! Just like your ancestors cheated mine!
Carlos shakes his head.
Ruiz: No no, Señor Garcia, you turn your back on me! This is wrestling fight! Let’s go!
Rob shoves Carlos! Carlos takes the high road and does not fire back in kind. That ticks off Rob even more! He goes for a clothesline. Carlos expertly ducks under, goes behind and dropkicks Garcia in the back. Rob goes chest first into the ropes and as he staggers back, Carlos takes him over with a quick release German suplex! The momentum has Rob roll to his feet but he’s punch drunk right now.
Kick to the gut from Carlos. Arm wrench. He runs up the turnbuckle, springboards off the top rope and leaps off with a swinging hurricanrana! Rob retreats to the outside just on the apron. Carlos is quick to his feet and winks at a pretty señorita in front row and gives her that charming smile!
Carlos turns his attention back to Rob who is leaning on the ropes. Carlos charges. Rob sidesteps him like a great matador and then kicks Carlos in the mush with a roundhouse kick!
Aiello: HUGE misstep from Carlos Ruiz!
Bennett: Took your eye off the ball, son!
Carter: No doubt, he had Rob Garcia against the ropes here and now it looks like Garcia finally has his in!
Big vertical leap by the Tag Champion. He balances himself on the top rope! Flying crossbody from The ReMnant! He bounces off Carlos from the impact. Carlos is back up to his feet but Rob Garcia has the momentum now! Irish whip into the turnbuckle. Dropkick to the mush of Carlos! The impact causes him to slump into the corner. Rob doesn’t stop! Dropkick to the seated man from Spain! Rapid fire assault from Garcia - he yanks Carlos out from the corner. Leapfrog onto the top turnbuckle!
Laser guided moonsault! It connects! Lateral press from the Tag Champion!

Carlos Ruiz kicks out right before the three count!!
Aiello: Garcia is pulling out stops to try to show up Carlos here in a contest of pure athleticism! Color me surprised!
Bennett: Shaddup, you son-of-a-bitch! I’m a perfect judge of character. Garcia is an upstanding citizen and you’re seeing it right here tonight.
Carter: Yeah, sure. Maybe he’s got a fever or something because this isn’t like Garcia at all!
Rob nods to himself. He knows what he has to do here.
Aiello: Garcia has to be going for Lights Out for Harambe here! Nick James AND Maggie Lockheart have fallen victim to this dangerous move! Do not take Garcia lightly! This match should be proof. A focused Rob Garcia is seemingly a victorious Rob Garcia!
Carlos kips up for a third time in this encounter but Garcia was expecting it. He cuts off any chance for a comeback with a knee to the breadbasket.
Carlos is doubled over and Garcia knows that it is his opportunity to win it all here! He bounces off the ropes! LIGHTS OUT FOR HARAMBE!
NO!
Carlos pops Garcia into the air and avoids to the knee to the face. Garcia lands behind him! He turns around! SPANISH EYES!
NO!
Garcia CATCHES Carlos’ foot, spins him around, Irish whip towards the turnbuckle, Carlos drops low and reverses the whip, Rob runs up the turnbuckle, backflip …
SPANISH EYES TO ROB GARCIA!
Aiello: Carlos just SUPERKICKED Garcia in mid flip! I can’t believe it!!
Carter: What an amazing set of counters here!
Bennett: What a travesty!
Carlos rolls Garcia over and covers him!

DING DING DING
Referee Paul Turner raises Carlos Ruiz’s hand in victory! Carlos gives a respectful nod towards Garcia for the fair contest. Jeff Noon, late to the party, slides into the ring to check on his client who he just saw take take a nasty fall.
Aiello: Carlos gets it done tonight but Night of Champions is just two weeks away and that night, the gold is on the line! Can MUCHO GRANDE! Keep it rolling or will Garcia find a way to win when it counts!
Carter: Speaking of tag team action... when we return we will see the official debut of The Limit as they take on the very duo they attacked last week in Oklahoma City, NSFW!
The scene cuts to a commercial break as Carlos blows kisses to the fans from the ring.
As we return from commercial break, "American Idiot" is playing and we see "Doc" Hollister in the ring with a microphone.
Aiello: Welcome back to Monday Night BRAWL. "Doc" Hollister decided to join us during the break and he is about to make what he said is a huge announcement. Let's go to the ring with our Assistant General Manager!
"Doc": Thank you, Joe! Good evening, Winnipeg!
A pop from the Canadian crowd.
"Doc": What a night it has been so far! We have seen some great action, including a handful of debuts. And that is exactly why I am out here! Over the course of the last two or three weeks, Monday Night BRAWL has signed some insane talent! You've already seen the likes of "The Catalyst" Jimmy Allen, Iron Butterfly, Jamal Jackson, and the Unholy Two! You're about to see the debut of The Limit!
A massive boo arises from the crowd.
"Doc": We've also signed contracts to new superstars Oyabun Gin, Killian DeVille, and Clay Byrd! After a few months to recover from injury, Charlie Hardin will be making a return! And FSW Superstar Marquee will officially make the jump to Monday Night BRAWL, and it all begins next Monday night!
The crowd reacts for the cast of new names.
Aiello: Monday Night BRAWL is only getting better and better!
"Doc": Now... what better way to welcome six brand new superstars to BRAWL, in addition to Marquee's move up to the big leagues and Charlie Hardin's return... than to reward them for wanting to be a part of something great?!
Carter: I like the sounds of this!
Bennett: How many times do I gotta tell you to shaddup and let him speak?!
"Doc": Next Monday night... when Monday Night BRAWL comes to you live from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana... an EWC Television Championship match opportunity will be on the line!
The crowd lets out a little cheer.
"Doc": Despite this being the first, second, or third match for almost all of these EWC superstars, one of them will walk out of New Orleans with a future chance at the title! It will be Clay Byrd, Killian DeVille, Oyabun Gin, Iron Butterfly, Jimmy Allen, Marquee, Charlie Hardin, and Jamal Jackson competing in an eight... you know what? Let's throw Nick James in there since he won his big match earlier tonight against Anthony Grunge and make it a NINE person, elimination LUMBERJACK MATCH in which the rest of the Monday Night BRAWL locker room will surround the ring and the last person standing inside the ring will be declared the WINNER!
The crowd erupts for a moment, appreciating the idea.
Aiello: Well, that will be one heck of a match!
Carter: A lot at stake for many who have never even competed in an EWC ring before! I like it!
"Doc": Oh yeah... one more thing. You Monday Night BRAWL rookies better put your dancin' shoes on... because this will be the show's MAIN EVENT!
Doc smiles and hands Jessica Stroup the microphone as "American Idiot" begins playing. "Doc" exits the ring as the camera focuses in on Joe, Steve, and Max.

TAG TEAM MATCH
THE LIMIT
VS NSFW
Aiello: What an announcement! Nine folks in the Main Event next week, only one of whom has had more than two matches on the main roster!
Bennett: It's a load of crap, if you ask me!
Carter: I think it's a phenomenal opportunity for someone to come out into the Main Event of BRAWL, outshine seven others, and be rewarded for it in front of the ENTIRE EWC roster!
Aiello: Which will include the current EWC Television Champion Amis Shelton!
Carter: But that will have to wait for another time. Coming up next, we've got a grudge match for you!
Aiello: Last week, NSFW came out and challenged the entire EWC tag team division. And boy... did they get a response in a hurry...
REPLAY FROM AUGUST 6TH
McGuire: If y’all back there are getting pissed at any of this? If this is lighting a fire under your ass? I BEG you. Come out here and shut us up.There is a commotion in the crowd as a man whose identity is overcast with a black hood and a ski mask jumps over the barricade. NSFW turns their attention to him. Before security can react, a second man in a black hoodie and ski mask, rolls into the ring behind him and clotheslines Church from behind. Mike quickly turns her attention to the man and levels him with a right hand punch that knocks him on his ass...
Church lifts Mike in the air for a Cherry Bomb on one of the fallen men but the other has recovered and double axe handles Church over the back. It causes the big man to inadvertently spike Mike into the mat. Like piranhas, the two set on Church with punches and kicks. One of the big men whips Church into the ropes. As he comes back, he uses Bishop’s momentum for a pop-up press into the air. As he comes down, the other man completes the combo with a lungblower onto his knees!...
They roll Mike onto the announcer’s table. They hop up. Double face lock. They lift her up into the air and drive her down with spike DDT that obliterates the table. Aiello and Carter have backed away but Bennett watches on with a smirk on his face.
REPLAY FROM AUGUST 6TH
Carter: An absolutely SICK display from, who we found out later that evening, to be The Limit.
Bennett: You call it sick, I call it glorious!
Aiello: Well, NSFW has been cleared by medical personnel and will face The Limit right here, right now. Let's go to Jessica in the ring.
Stroup: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
"No Limit" by G-Eazy hits on the speakers and the lights begin flashing throughout the arena. Ethan Alexander and D.J. Frank come walking out onto the stage to a loud chorus of boos. They both stand at the top of the ramp and mockingly gesture to the crowd.
The two begin walking towards the ring, cockily mocking the fans. D.J. grabs a fan's sign and tears it in half, tossing it into the crowd.
Stroup: Introducing first... from Detroit, Michigan... weighing in at...
Before Jessica can finish, NSFW comes sprinting out of the back. Church grabs Ethan by the collar and the waistband and rolls him into the ring. Well behind the scene, McGuire comes out with her Louisville Slugger and jams the butt of it into the ribcage of D.J. Frank! She takes a mighty swing and brings it down into the middle of Frank's back. She tosses the bat aside and walks over towards the ring backwards, never taking her eyes off of D.J. Frank.
Aiello: My goodness! NSFW has absolutely had enough!
Carter: After what The Limit did last week and what they said earlier this week, who can blame them?
Bennett: This is a travesty! I can't believe NSFW hasn't been fined already for this heinous attack!
1
Kickout before the two.
Ethan picks Church up by the hair and gouges at both of Church's eyes, screaming at him as he does so. As Church lets out yells of his own, the referee counts all the way up to four and a half before Ethan breaks. Ethan drops an elbow onto the back of Church's head. Noticing that Frank is not up on the apron yet, Ethan does his best to stay on the attack and keep Church away from McGuire.
Bennett: Don't let that little pixie-headed freak into the ring!
Aiello: Church has GOT to get something going.
Ethan sets his boot on top of Church's head, grinding his face into the mat. The referee once again counts off at Ethan, who removes his boot and threatens the referee.
Carter: Ethan Alexander isn't caring here about what he does or to who he does it to!
Ethan charges towards the ropes, but Mike McGuire yanks down on the ropes and Alexander goes toppling over the top and to the floor. He gets up to his knees and grabs the back of his head, an incensed look crossing his face. He gets up and grabs McGuire off of the apron and slings her into the guardrail. Church is still down in the ring, but the referee begins to count Ethan out.
1
D.J. Frank is up now and the two of them begin stomping on McGuire. She tries to cover herself to shield herself from the attacks. D.J. walks over to the ring apron and lifts the skirt, looking under the ring.
3
Aiello: This can't be good, guys!
Bennett: No, it can't. But it CAN be AMAZING!
Church is slowly beginning to stir in the ring, so Frank slides in and puts the boots to him. The referee continues to count Ethan Alexander out as he attempts to shove Frank out of the ring.
5
Ethan picks McGuire up, but as the referee has a bit of a focus on Frank, she hits Ethan with a low blow, sending him to his knees.
Carter: Now THAT will hurt for awhile!
McGuire gets back up onto the ring apron as the referee continues to count. She puts her hands up into the air like nothing happened. Frank gets out of the ring and goes over to McGuire, yanking her off of the ring apron again. The two begin trading blows on the outside of the ring as Ethan attempts to crawl towards the ring.
8
Church is finally up to his feet. He looks to the outside at McGuire and Frank battling, then to Ethan, then to the referee.
9
Ethan grabs the ring apron and pulls himself to his feet. Right before he could get into the ring...
10!
Aiello: Round 2! NSFW wins, but it’s like the match never ended. They’re taking it up the ramp!
The Limit and NSFW battle up the ramp. All of them giving as good as they get. Frank with McGuire. Bishop with Alexander. McGuire ducks under a haymaker from Frank and kicks him right in the crotch!
Bennett: Filthy cheating son-of-a-bitch! That's twice!
Carter: Not in the match anymore! BRAWL lives up to its namesake with this one!
Before Alexander, the superior fighter in these circumstances, can get the upper hand on Church, Mike jumps on his back and rakes at his eyes. Church takes advantage and belly to belly suplexes one half of The Limit onto the steel ramp! Alexander writhes in pain from the impact! Frank, holding himself, gets to his feet and blindsides Mike and shoves her into the barricade. The momentum of the shove off the ramp puts her heads over heels over the barricade and into the expensive aisle way seats.
Bishop cuts off Frank with a knee lift to the gut. Belly to belly attempt. Alexander has recovered and clubs Church over the back. Breaks the hold. They twist Church around, double face lock. They lift him into the air and spike him head first with a double DDT right onto the steel of the rampway!
Aiello: Oh my God. The Limit calls that The Driver! Last week it put Mike out of commission!
Bennett: Good!
Carter: Are you even capable of being professional anymore, Steve!?
The Limit shares a good laugh because they’ve knocked one half of NSFW out cold. Frank points at something behind them and they nod in unison. They roll Bishop off the ramp. Frank takes over and drags the unconscious Church to the area on the side of the stage. The camera catches the full view of it. Tables covered in spare cables, monitors, and various equipment.
Meanwhile, Alexander watches as Mike, who took a nasty spill from how slowly she is moving, climbs over the barricade. He walks over and grabs her by the hair to help her back onto the ramp. Mike pushes him away and jacks his jaw with a left hand jab. Alexander turns his head and spits out blood. He grabs her by the arm and levels her with a headbutt. Frank drapes Church’s body over the tables.
He quickly joins his partner on the top of the ramp who has Mike slung over his shoulder.
They look at each other and nod with vindictive grins.
Bennett: Goodbye, losers!
Aiello: This is despicable. Where are all the officials at!?
Carter: I don’t know. I don’t like what The Limit are alluding to here, fellas.
They’re at the edge of the stage. 15 feet below is the aforementioned carnage. And Church. With relative ease, The Limit gut-wrenches Mike McGuire into the air …
DOUBLE POWERBOMB OFF THE STAGE!!!
Mike’s body plummets below and crashes through all of the equipment, tables, and her own partner!!
The crowd is hushed at first but as the camera surveys the carnage. NSFW is out.
Aiello: I guess The Limit upheld their threat. But again, this is disgusting.
Alexander grabs the spare microphone that the cameraman had in the back of his belt.
Finally, officials and medical staff rush in to tend to NSFW.
Alexander: We fucking told you guys! There’s NO getting past The Limit! And we are going to continue to torment you until you decide to quit!
Bennett: HEY! How come HE didn't get f*cking bleeped out?! DAMNIT!!!
He passes the microphone over to D.J. Frank as the crowd is filling the air with deafening boos.
Frank: BUT! Just in case you AREN’T dead yet, then we’ve got a little challenge for you! Night of Champions! THE LIMIT! NSFW! A TABLES MATCH!
He passes the microphone back over to Alexander.
Alexander: If you even have the balls to accept it!
Frank leans into the microphone.
Frank: OR if you are even still alive by then!
The Limit begins laughing as Alexander drops the microphone off of the stage and onto McGuire’s chest. More EMTs rush to the scene as we go to a commercial.
When we return, Victor Price is seen at gorilla position right before the entryway to the arena, the fans booing him raucously--and that doesn’t change when he speaks, addressing someone that has yet to walk into the frame.
Price: Oh, you must have finally figured it out. Sorry, I heard your feed to the show in your locker room wasn’t working. Your friends? They’re being loaded off into an ambulance as we speak. But you?
That’s when Natalie Young walks into the shot, her expression gone absolutely frigid with fury--and the moment that the fans catch sight of the Undisputed Champion? Their cheers can be clearly heard. For his part, Victor smirks right into the face of the woman he’s decided to torment since she dared to defy him.
Price: You’ve got a main event to compete in. Break a leg, champ. Do me proud.
Even though she’s smaller than he is by almost a foot, the Southern Belle somehow manages to almost loom over Price as she steps up close, her gaze burning into his. For a moment, it seems as if she’s going to give him the beating he deserves--but instead?
Young: You’re not worth it.
That four-word statement is all the more she’s dignifying him with--or is she reminding herself of that fact?--before she’s bodily shoving her way past him, making her way out of the shot and toward the ramp.
Aiello: My goodness! NSFW has absolutely had enough!
Carter: After what The Limit did last week and what they said earlier this week, who can blame them?
Bennett: This is a travesty! I can't believe NSFW hasn't been fined already for this heinous attack!
DING DING DING
As Church slides into the ring, Alexander lays the boots to Church's back. Four, five, six hard stomps followed by obscenities from the bigger of the two in The Limit. Ethan picks Church up off of the mat and body slams him in the center of the ring. Ethan bounces off of the ropes and drops a senton on Church. He goes into a cover.1

Price: Oh, you must have finally figured it out. Sorry, I heard your feed to the show in your locker room wasn’t working. Your friends? They’re being loaded off into an ambulance as we speak. But you?
That’s when Natalie Young walks into the shot, her expression gone absolutely frigid with fury--and the moment that the fans catch sight of the Undisputed Champion? Their cheers can be clearly heard. For his part, Victor smirks right into the face of the woman he’s decided to torment since she dared to defy him.
Price: You’ve got a main event to compete in. Break a leg, champ. Do me proud.
Even though she’s smaller than he is by almost a foot, the Southern Belle somehow manages to almost loom over Price as she steps up close, her gaze burning into his. For a moment, it seems as if she’s going to give him the beating he deserves--but instead?
Young: You’re not worth it.
That four-word statement is all the more she’s dignifying him with--or is she reminding herself of that fact?--before she’s bodily shoving her way past him, making her way out of the shot and toward the ramp.
NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS PREVIEW SHOWDOWN
SINGLES NON-TITLE MATCH
GRIFFIN HAWKINS
VS NATALIE YOUNG
Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is your Monday Night Brawl MAIN EVENT of the evening! It is a non-title Champion vs Champion match! Introducing first He is the EWC International Champion… GRIFFIN HAWKINS!!!
The spotlight shines on a young man who seems to be playing a guitar on stage. After playing a long interrupted solo...he strokes the guitar in one fell swoop, setting off the pyro's on stage! The lights come on to reveal Griffin Hawkins! He has his guitar in hand as "Made In Hell" by Rob Halford blasts in. He walks down the ramp, carrying his guitar as he slaps hands with a few fans. Signs reading "Griffin Rocks!" and "EWC gets Metal!" are seen as he comes down the ramp. He sets his guitar by the steps and gets in the ring.
He then proceeds to get on the ropes, taking the belt off his waist and raises it in the air as the crowd cheers him on. Soon he gets off the ropes, taking off his denim vest with various band patches on it off and sets it out of the ring. He gets out of the ring and goes to the front row, putting his aviator sunglasses on a young fan.
After he gets in the ring, he waits for his opponent.
Stroup: And his opponent…
The arena goes black, a darkness that lingers for a few seconds until the opening chords of 'Monster' by Paramore play as the screen comes to life. Footage that has been treated to look old, faded rolls of Natalie fighting her way back up to her feet after being knocked down--and the moment that she appears on the screen, the crowd cheers loudly for the fan favorite that is about to come out.
As the blond regains her feet in that video footage, bruised and battered but still willing to fight, the chorus hits the sound system with a vengeance as Natalie Young makes her way out from behind the curtain, a bit of a bounce in her stride and the Undisputed Championship buckled into place around her waist. It's not the sort that comes from being happily energetic, though. Rather? It's clear that her competitive fire is burning brighter than ever, especially now with a title to do proud.
As coral and white lights flash along the rampway, Natalie slaps a few of the hands that are offered to her as she descends down it... but her focus is on the ring. Speeding up at the bottom of the ramp, she slides into the ring on her stomach before getting to her feet. The nearest turnbuckle is mounted as she looks out over the crowd, reaching behind herself to undo the Undisputed Championship before holding it aloft to an even louder roar from the crowd. She lingers there for a few moments before hopping down, doing a couple stretches to prepare for the match at hand.
Aiello: We would like to welcome to the announce position… From Friday Night Rampage, Ace King!
Bennett: Yeah… Um, what’ya doin here Ace?
Ace: Well… Obviously with Night of Champions coming up I wanted to come out and get a front row seat to get a look at my competition.
Bennett: And ya couldn’t do that from behind a TV?
Ace: Excuse me?
Bennett: You’re excused…
Carter: Ohhh Okay… *laughing* Steve is just a little bit a fan of the rivalry between BRAWL and Rampage….
Aiello: A little too much sometimes.
Bennett: You know if this wasn’t a PPV quality main event here, I’d just leave and go get a beer—
Carter: You’ve already got a beer…
Bennett: Shut up ya son-of-a-bitch!
DING DING DING
The crowd is on their feet as Natalie Young waves for the fans to get on their feet, they get louder as Griffin puts up the horns for Rock and Roll!
MNB!!!
MNB!!!
MNB!!!
MNB!!!
MNB!!!
Hawkins pumps his fist to the MNB chant, as they go to the middle and they begin to have words with each other. Griffin extends his hand—
Carter: Now that’s a great sign of sportsmanship there.
Bennett: What it is, is a sign of weakness.
Natalie reaches out and returns the handshake.
Bennett: Oh for f*ck’s sake. Seriously? AGAIN?!
Ace: I think that’s a great sign of who are Champions are here in the EWC. We set the standard, and that right there proves it.
They circle each other for a moment and then tie up in the middle of the ring! Griffin quickly over powers Natalie and shoves her back as she stumbles into the turnbuckle! Natalie, never to be intimidated takes a deep breath stepping out of the buckle. Griffin again goes for the collar and elbow tie up, but Natalie ducks under and hooks Griffin around the waist and nails Griffin in the back of the head with a roundhouse kick! Griffin stumbles into the turnbuckle and bounces out right into the waiting arms of Natalie Young, who with all her strength roars as she lifts up Griffin and nails a German Suplex! Griffin rolls to a seated position holding the back of his head, but is met with a quick dropkick to the face by Natalie Young! Natalie with the cover!

KICKOUT!
Aiello: And a kickout at one! Tell us Ace what does it do to your opponents head when you jump out at one.
Ace: Well, lots of time you will see two counts simply because it gives you that extra second of rest. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but it really is. If you pop out at one… well that tells your opponent that you don’t need the breather, you don’t want it, and it can really get inside the head of the opponent.
Carter: But it can have negative effects as well.
Bennett: A master of strategy over there… Ace King…
Carter: I think we can do without your sarcasm Steve… Maybe show the United States Champion a little respect?
As Natalie tries to pick up Griffin, he catches her off guard and lifts her up over his head and over the top rope! Natalie grabs the top rope before hitting the floor! And she skins the cat! But just as she gets back on her feet she turns around and is met with Griffin with a head of steam and with a monster clothsline throwing them both over the top! The crowd pops to its feet, and Griffin is quick to his feet. Pulling Natalie up to her feet, she gives him a couple of elbow shots to the gut and gains the advantage! She goes for the irish whip aiming for the steps but Hawkins reverses it! Natalie avoids the stairs by hopping on top, and as she turns around here comes Griffin with a head of steam once again and with a leap spears Natalie off the top of the stairs! They both fly through the air and crash into the guard rail!!! Natalie’s head smacks the steel guard rail as they both come falling to the ground!!! The crowd goes NUTS!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Both competitors are slow to get up, but Griffin gets up pulling Natalie to her feet as he rolls her in the ring. Griffin rolls in behind her and goes for the cover!

KICKOUT!
Natalie kicks out but is holding the back of her head in pain.
Aiello: Ya gotta believe that crash into the guard rail had something to do with that near fall.
Ace: Without a doubt, believe me when the match is taken to the outside, there is a good chance that you will either come back in with a big advantage or a big headache… Very rarely does it go to the outside and ya come back in without any major damage.
Griffin slowly picks up Natalie, but Natalie pulls Griffin down into a small package!

KICKOUT!
Griffin quick back to his feet, but so is Natalie! Natalie with a kick to the gut! Followed up by a spike DDT! Both are down, Natalie in a seated position, holding the back of her head. Natalie slowly gets up on her feet, just as Griffin gets up he is nailed by Natalie with a back elbow off a handspring off the ropes! Griffin is down, and Natalie hits the ropes looking for a leg drop, but he moves out of the way! Natalie is back up but is holding her hamstring, and Griffin nails her with a codebreaker!!! He quickly goes to the outside, waiting for Natalie to get to her feet! She starts to get up, Hawkins hops on the top rope, looking for a springboard hurricanranna but she reverses it and drops Hawkins down into a powerbomb!
Aiello: She has that one scouted!
Carter: She saw it a number of times through her trio of matches with former champion Luke Wolfe, she knows the counter!
Bennett: Tell us Mr. US Champion, what do you think of the match so far?
Ace: Well since you asked, its very back and forth action. I’m seeing both Natalie and Griffin struggle to get the advantage and I –
Bennett: -- That aughta do it thanks very much Ace.
As Griffin tries to recover from the Powerbomb, Natalie goes to the corner… Catching her breath for a moment, she climbs to the top and as soon as Griffin gets up she nails him with a missile dropkick off the top rope!!! Griffin slowly pulls himself to his feet using the turnbuckle pad and gets nailed by Turmoil by Natalie Young! Natalie follows that up with three shoulders to the lowerback of Griffin! She allows him to come out, and as he holds his lower back Natalie comes with a head of steam this time and nails Griffin with Denial!!! Griffin goes down, and Natalie hooks the leg!

THRE-KICKOUT!
Carter: AND a near fall from Natalie, with Griffin powering out of it!
The crowd is going nuts after the two count! As Griffin gets up Natalie hits the ropes and is looking for Closure! But Griffin moves out of the way and out of nowhere nails Natalie with the SHOT IN THE DARK!!! Both fall to the mat, and the crowd is losing their minds!!!
“THIS IS AWESOME!!!”
“THIS IS AWESOME!!!”
“THIS IS AWESOME!!!”
“THIS IS AWESOME!!!”
“THIS IS AWESOME!!!”
Ace: That was an amazing change of momentum for Griffin! Now the only question is, can he capitalize?
Carter: These two are showing why they are the two best on Monday Night Brawl, the International Champion vs the Undisputed Champion.
Bennett: She might not be Undisputed Champion for long, she put a target on her back the second she won that belt, and now she has every single champion in the EWC coming for her.
Aiello: Especially Griffin Hawkins tonight! Can you imagine the momentum it would give Hawkins if he could defeat the Undisputed Champion going towards Night of Champions??
With Natalie out cold, Griffin slowly starts to move and crawls making his way over to Natalie and drops one arm across the chest of the Champion!

FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Ace: And that’s proof of a real Champion right there, no matter what is going on, you always know where you are in the ring.
Griffin pops up slapping the mat in frustration. He waves for Natalie to get to her feet as soon as she gets close he hits the ropes… Natalie Young catches him with a powerslam out of nowhere at the very last second! She pops up on her knees stunned, falling over backwards. Using the ropes to pull herself to her feet, she measures Griffin as he slowly gets up, she meets him with a punt to the face! A dazed Hawkins falls back bouncing off the ropes, and walks into the HITTING BOTTOM! But Natalie loses her grip and Hawkins lands on his feet! Natalie spins stumbling, Griffin goes for a SHOT IN THE DARK! But Natalie ducks it, and Griffin spins finding Natalie! He gets kicked in the mid section, followed up by the CLOSURE!!! GRIFFIN GOES DOWN!!! She hops on him hooking his leg!!!

DING DING DING
Aiello: That’s it! She did it! The Undisputed Champion has overcome Griffin Hawkins.
You can hear the sound of Ace putting down his headset, as Natalie locks eyes with the US Champion. She raises the Undisputed Title high, as Ace does the same with the United States Championship.
Stroup: Here is your winner… The EWC UNDISPUTED CHAMPION…. NATALIE YOUNG!!!
Griffin gets up in the ring, and we have a three way Champion stare down.
Aiello: Things are getting to be absolutely electric going into Night of Champions. There is no telling what...
Aiello: Things are getting to be absolutely electric going into Night of Champions. There is no telling what...
YOUNG RENEGADE!
Everyone’s attention turns towards the stage as Hollywood Undead’s ‘Renegade’ blares over the speakers. The crowd give a somewhat mixed reaction of cheers and boos as they eagerly await the arrival of the EWC TV Champion. The crowd’s reaction intensifies as they see Amis sliding into the ring behind the unknowing Natalie Young.
Eventually, she realises what’s going on but at that point, it’s too late as Amis smacks her across the face with his TV Championship. Amis continues by stomping a mudhole into the defenceless Undisputed Champion. Griffin Hawkins eventually comes to and slides into the ring to aid Young, prompting Amis to dive out of the ring and escape.
Amis pauses at the top of the stage, clapping slowly and allows the negative crowd reaction to fade to silence before speaking himself.
Amis Shelton: Bravo, no I mean bravo! What an effort from our Champions right? C’mon let’s hear it!
Amis somewhat sarcastically motions for the crowd to give Young and Hawkins a round of applause, to which they oblige until Amis continues.
Amis Shelton: Oh, I hope I’m wasn’t interrupting something, I’ve just got something to say which concerns you two inside that ring and that butthole on commentary. Let me take you back to last week where I won the TV Title and proceeded to speak a few truths about the EWC and the state of its rosters, ruffling a few feathers in the process. Now, I’m not here to apologize or make amends because I do believe that the EWC has become complacent. I’ve just found who to hold accountable.
You three are the reason. You call yourselves champions!? I call you jokes. You’re allowing this plunge into irrelevance to happen and what are you doing in the meantime? Providing borderline trash commentary, complaining about a competitor’s well-documented fireball technique and uh... whatever it is that you do, rockstar.
The crowd began to murmur, unsure how to feel about the attack on their beloved champions.
Amis Shelton: I couldn't stand it anymore, so after that little rant last week, I went straight to Doc and Price’s office and I told them that there wasn’t any need to arrange any changes to the main event at Night of Champions…
The crowd collectively gasp…
Amis Shelton: Fuck waiting until StrangleMania, by that time who knows what sorry state this place will be in… I’m competing in the Champion’s showdown and you can bet your ass that I’m coming for what WILL be mine… That Undisputed Championship! After being passed around like a hot potato, it’s about time that it comes home to a true Champion, something all of you, including the other plain Jane’s in that match, are not.
The Undisputed Champion should be; someone who’s ability should be second to none, someone who truly understands the nature of the business, someone who is admired throughout the entire wrestling industry. Someone like me, The Renegade, Amis Shelton.
Large portions of the crowd begin to boo, unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to faze Shelton.
Amis Shelton: So hold on to that Title whilst you still can Ms Young, because I assure you, you won’t be leaving with it after Night of Champions is over, I will!
‘Renegade’ resumes playing as Amis drops the microphone, continuing to trash those in the ring amidst the new boo’s from the crowd. Suddenly, there's a cheer from the crowd. As Amis backs up towards the locker room, he bumps into somebody. He turns around and sees Xavier Reid standing there with his FSW Championship in his hand. The two have a stare down on the ramp before a cocky Shelton raises the Television Championship right in Reid's face. Reid laughs and reciprocates, shoving the FSW Championship in Shelton's face.
The crowd is buzzing as Ace King, Griffin Hawkins, Natalie Young, Amis Shelton, and Xavier Reid all stand tall with their respective Championship belts. The five out of the seven participants in the Main Event at Night of Champions are all at a stand off as we go off the air.
