The camera's zoom in on the ring where Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir are standing, both smiling ear to ear as the crowd cheers for PRIME.
Marshall Evans: Haha, yes. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to PRIME 37. We are in a sold out crowd of thirteen thousand people here in South Carolina. Less than two weeks ago, history was made for the EWC. Something that won't be forgotten as long as the EWC exists... that's right, the first ever PRIME roster member got the EWC Undisputed Title. Not only that but she was also the first dual Indy/Undisputed Champion. That's right, you all know who I am talking about.
CANDY CANDY CANDY
Hayley Kushnir: Yes, Candy. She is an inspiration to men and women everywhere. The true definition of don't judge a book by its cover and good things come in small packages. We all love Candy and here she comes now!
Just then, “I Want Candy” by Aaron Carter is heard blasting throughout the Colonial Life Arena. If you thought the cheers for the Sweet Treat were loud before, they’re pretty much deafening as she walks out onto the stage with the Indy Championship strapped around her waist and the Undisputed Championship perched on her shoulder. Candy waves to the crowd as she heads down the aisle. As she gets closer to the ring, you can see it’s decked out in all sorts of different candies and treats. Some fake props, most of it edible though. Either way, Candy seems right at home as she makes her way up the steel steps and onto the ring apron.
Nessa Reeve: Is this Prime or Candyland?
Eva Leurox: Tonight I think it’s both!
The color commentator sounds less than enthused as Candy steps through the ropes and begins skipping around the ring. As she passes by the treat table, Candy picks up one of the chocolates and pops it in her mouth. She finishes chewing as Hayley passes her the microphone. Once her music dies down, Candy lifts the microphone to speak.
Candy: Welcome to my very first Candy Party!
As the fans cheer some more, Candy eats a few more treats from table.
Candy: This is some really good chocolate.
With her chewing away, we hear the commentators again.
Nessa Reeve: Our champion is more interested in eating candy than she is addressing the crowd.
Eva Leurox: Nah, just give her a minute.
Marshall Evans: Only the best for our Champion!
Still eating, she adds.
Candy: You guys should try some.
When the GMs decline, Candy shrugs.
Candy: More for me then.
Candy chuckles along with the crowd. She finally finishes the last of what she had in her mouth before speaking again.
Candy: All kidding aside, I guess we should talk about what happened at Night of Champions!
Nessa Reeve: Finally!
Eva Leurox: Oh stop.
Candy pauses slightly.
Candy: At Night of Champions, I did what many people said couldn’t be done. I achieved the impossible. I became the new EWC Undisputed Champion!
Cheers erupted throughout the arena as she lifted the very championship from her shoulder and into the air. Even the GM’s were clapping. Once she placed the championship back on her shoulder. Candy waited for the cheers to die down before going on once more.
Candy: It was the sweetest moment of my career by far. Just as I thought it would be. But now that all the congratulations have come and gone, it’s time to start looking toward the future. Because as I promised, not only was I going to take the burden from Natalie, I was going to run with it as well. So now it’s time to do just that. As well as continuing to be the sweetest Indy Champion ever!”
She pats the championship around her waist as she continues.
Candy: That’s right, Prime. I haven’t forgotten about you guys. This is my home and I plan to remain on the top of my game here. From what I understand even though we haven’t seen him for awhile Waylon Graves is still waiting in the wings for a title shot and Aeon Khronos now has that briefcase. So there’s contenders coming at me left and right as well as from the front and the back with the Undisputed Championship. So it’s going a crazy time for this Sweet Treat. But I didn’t get this far to back down now. Instead I’m going to be ready for ANY and ALL challengers that comes my way!
Before Candy can go any further, she is interrupted, as the lights dim to complete darkness… and the roaring sound of a thunderstorm!.
Eva Leurox: Sounds like the champion is about to get some company!
The crowd ERUPTS as Candy looks up the ramp way clapping her hands!
"Behold, he comes with lightning and clouds... FEAR... The sound of Thunder!"
As the final bolt of lightning strikes the crackle of thunder echoes through the arena and the lights burst to life as Fort Minor’s “Remember the Name” hits.
Luke Wolfe walks out on stage, looking around the arena nodding his head with approval.
Eva Leurox: Luke Wolfe is here on PRIME! The former EWC Undisputed Champion!
Wolfe slowly makes his way down the ramp, and up the stairs stepping through the ropes as Candy jumps up and down with excitement! Luke smiles at her pointing at the Undisputed Championship on her shoulder and clapping for her for a job well done. He reaches outside the ring grabbing a microphone as Candy grabs some candy and offers it to the the former Champion. Laughing, Luke takes a sucker and sticks it in his mouth. As his music dies out, Candy can’t hide her excitement as she jumps to speak.
Candy: Hey everyone! Look who came to my party!!!
The crowd jumps to their feet for their lovable champion. Luke nods laughing…
Luke: Congratulations Candy…
The crowd ERUPTS as she hops up and down clapping her hands.
Luke: Candy, what I saw you do at Night of Champions was truly inspiring. What I said on Rampage was 100% true. I was ready to call it a career, and all I wanted to do was watch from the top of the building and see what that crazy Insanity Cage was all about. Now, everyone knows my opinion of that particular match. But I wanted to come out here and look at you eye to eye, face to face, and tell you that YOU are the reason that I decided not to hang up my boots!
Candy: Oh my gosh, that’s so nice to hear!
Candy beams as if that’s the best thing she’s ever heard.
Candy: So if you’re not going to hang up your boots, what exactly do you plan to do now?
Luke: Candy… What I saw at Night of Champions was the most amazing display of heart, that I have ever seen. You have the true heart of a champion. But… All that being said, I didn’t come out here to party with you.
Confused, the crowd buzzes with a mixed reaction.
Luke: Candy, I remember the day you came up to me, and asked if you could take a picture with the champ. Well, now the shoe is on the other foot. I never thought that the sweet cute young woman would be standing across the ring from me holding that belt. And… I really do wish it was anyone else but you, I never wanted to come out here and rain on your parade. But… I’m gonna want that belt back.
Candy doesn’t seem too bothered by hearing this.
Candy: If you think I didn’t see this coming, you are sadly mistaken. I knew from the moment you lost the Undisputed Championship to Natalie Young that you’d want another chance to hold the gold. Once I was victorious at the Night of Champions, I knew you’d be coming for me. And here you are. But that doesn’t exactly scare me. I’m not sure anything will ever again after the Insanity Cage match. So if it’s your rematch clause you want to invoke, then I say let’s do this!
Luke smiles to himself, biting his lip, laughing to himself. He pics his mic up and begins speaking once again.
Luke: That’s the fighting spirit, and heart of a champion that I saw defy all the odds at Night of Champions!!!
The crowd ERUPTS!!!
Luke: I know what it feels like to reach your dream, I know what it feels like to hold that belt. And I know the responsibility that goes with it. And I know that you are more than up for the challenge. So what do you say… At Rumble in the Bronx! We show the WORLD what it means to be the best in the world! What it means to steal the show! What it means to give the fans a show that they will never EVER forget!
Popping the sucker back in his mouth with a smile, he extends his hand to Candy, which she doesn’t hesitate in shaking. When she withdraws her hand, Candy raises the mic back up to speak.
Candy: May the best woman..I mean, person..win!
As she winks at him and laughs, Luke responds with a grin and a tilt of his head. Candy then picks up another piece of candy and pops it in her mouth as she skips away to make her exit from the ring. “I Want Candy” by Aaron Carter starts to play again as Candy heads up the ramp with the crowd cheering her on. As she reaches the top, Candy turns back around and lifts the Undisputed Championship into the air. Luke’s eyes are on it for the longest time before she turns to leave. The fans are in a frenzy as Candy disappears behind the curtain, leaving Luke and the GM's in the ring as we head into a commercial break.
The camera's zoom in on the ring where Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir are standing, both smiling ear to ear as the crowd cheers for PRIME.

The fans are in a frenzy as Candy disappears behind the curtain, leaving Luke and the GM's in the ring as we head into a commercial break.
After the commercial break, Candy is seen making her way through the backstage area of the Colonial Life Arena when she sees El Pablo coming toward her from the other direction.
EP: Hey there champ!
He says as he comes to a stop in front of her.
CANDY: Hey there yourself. What’s up?
She questions with a smile and her usual cheerful voice.
EP: Well, I was on my way out to join in on your Candy Party when I noticed you had another visitor. Since you had to handle some business, I thought I’d hang out until you made your way back here.
CANDY: Appreciate that.
She adds with a nod.
EP: Shame I had to miss out on all that candy, though.
CANDY: Oh, no worries there. They’re going to put the rest of the candy in my locker room. We can continue the party there.
EP: Hooray!
As he looks over her shoulder, Pablo can see all the treats being brought back.
EP: I don’t see Skittles on any of those trays, though.
Candy shrugs.
CANDY: They said you already bought them all…
EP: Impossible!
CANDY: Your vest is lined with Skittles packets...
EP: ...Quite possible.
As El Pablo adjusts his vest, Candy laughs.
CANDY: See what I mean.
She then motions with her hand for him to follow her.
CANDY: Anyway, c’mon. Let’s go get a few treats in you before your match comes up!
Pablo nods but just as they start to turn in the direction the goodies went, they hear another voice.
??: Well isn’t this sweet?
The voice chuckles as they turn their attention to its source, Aeon Khronos, a wicked smirk on his face and his PRIMEtime briefcase in hand.
AEON: Candy, I just wanted to congratulate you on a fine victory at Night of Champions! You’ve done everyone at PRIME proud by winning that Undisputed Championship, myself in particular...I’m so happy you’ll still have a title to hold when I take that Indy Championship from you.
The sour looks on the faces of Candy and El Pablo just makes Aeon smile wider.
AEON: Oh, I’m sorry to ruin your little moment...I just thought you could use a dose of reality. You’re a double champion now, the target on your back is even bigger than before...and I will be watching, waiting for the right moment to strike. After all, time is on my side...yes it is.
CANDY: Is it really?
Candy questions as she takes a step closer to Aeon, letting him get a better look at the Indy Championship around her waist.
CANDY: Well, considering you’re not a member of the Rolling Stones...I don’t think I have much to worry about here. Besides, do you know how many people have told me my time was up before? Just about everyone. And yet, here I stand still Indy Champion. So there’s your dose of reality for tonight. I suggest you remember it.
EP: That’s right! You may have cut to the front of the line, but that doesn’t automatically make you more qualified to take that title from her than the rest of us!
Upon those words, Candy shifts her attention to El Pablo, who appears unaware of what he might have said.
EP: ...What?
Before any tension can build, Candy smirks, though her serious demeanor remains.
CANDY: I’d expect nothing less from a member of the Prime roster. You can bring your best and we’ll see where the candies fall that night. Until then, how about we get back to the Candy Party?
EP: Sounds like a good idea to me.
Before they walk away, Candy glances back over at Aeon.
CANDY: I’ll be keeping an eye out for when you decide to cash in.
With that, Aeon watches them leave while tightly holding onto the briefcase, he turns and walks away. As he passes a nearby locker-room we hear a commotion inside. The cameraman opens the door. We see Walter Melon a d he doesn’t look very happy.
Melon: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP?!!
Camera reveals him to be holding a veggie platter and looking at it in disgust. He seems to be yelling at an EWC backstage crew member.
Crew Member: Complimentary veggie platter sir.
Walter looks at the crew member in disgust.
Walter: Complimentary? What’s wrong with you?
Crew Member: I’m sorry sir. Is there anything else I could get for you?
Walter: Sorry? You’re sorry?
Walter shakes his head.
Walter: Matter of fact, there is.
After the last word leaves Walter’s mouth he swings the massive plate of veggies that shatters upon impact of the crew members face. Glass, veggies, dip, and blood all end up flying after the hard impact that drops the crew member unconscious. Walter stands over the Crew Member. Walter smacks his bloody face to wake him up and grabs his shirt lifting him up a bit.
Walter: I had better never see this crap again. I expect this room filled with different fruits and I expect no less from you! You and this entire roster have a lot to learn. We have a champion named after Candy? Disgusting! Now, you go run your sorry ass to the kitchen and get me my damn fruit salad, OR ELSE!
Walter picks the man up to his feet and pushes him out of the doorway which causes the man to stumble out the door and collapse from the pain and not being fully recovered from being smashed with the plate of veggies. Walter reaches into the front of his pants and pulls out a baggie filled with fruit from his undies.
Walter: Thank Melon Gods for my emergency fix. Now, let's watch this crap. Bane verses Romano in the opener? I'll need all the fruit I can get to get through this borefest.
He begins eating the fruit as he sits down to enjoy the show.
EP: Hey there champ!
He says as he comes to a stop in front of her.
CANDY: Hey there yourself. What’s up?
She questions with a smile and her usual cheerful voice.
EP: Well, I was on my way out to join in on your Candy Party when I noticed you had another visitor. Since you had to handle some business, I thought I’d hang out until you made your way back here.

Eva Leurox: It has been a hell of a show so far, with Candy vs Luke apparently being set for the Rumble in the Bronx!
Nessa Reeves: What about that travesty that Mr. Melon just had to go through? Someone get that man some fruit!
Eva Leurox: And now, the SHOWTIME rematch. Bane vs Romono II. Here we go.
The arena goes dark, a slow booming sound can be heard and BAM! Pyros shoot off as 'The Vengeful One' blares. Kristian Bane walks out in front of the crowd. Bane walks methodically to the ring. He waits in the ring for Frankie Romono to emerge.
Nessa Reeves: Bane is JACKED right now. Frankie Romono might have a lot to look out for.
Damon Reid: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following match is a TABLES MATCH! Introducing first, standing at 6'6", 315 pounds... Kristian Bane! And his opponent, standing at 6'1", 207 pounds... Frankie Romono!
Nessa Reeves: Let them fight already!
Frankie hands TayTay Dolly, then he hops down off the turnbuckle. All business now. Stefan Elliot calls for the bell.
With the bell Bane explodes towards Frankie, shoving him backwards into the corner and laying into him with strong strikes to the midsection. Bane grabs Frankie's left arm and Irish-Whips him towards the ropes, on the rebound Bane runs at Frankie for the spear but is caught with a jumping knee to the jaw! Bane stumbles back, Frankie starts laying in on him with hard lefts and rights, backing Bane into the corner. Frankie starts kicking Bane in his midsection, wearing the bigger man out. Bane is on his butt, Frankie helps drag him up and then starts biting his forehead!
Eva Leurox: Frankie Romono just freaking bit Kristian Bane!
Frankie lets go of Bane, who know has a trickle of blood going down his head. Frankie smiles, Bane's blood on his teeth. Frankie nails Bane in the side of the jaw hard with a straight jab. Bane seems out of it in his corner. Frankie grabs his legs by the ankles, and then lifts Bane up for the Ally-OopBomb. Frankie slides under and catches his knees on Bane's back. Ally-Oop RomonoBomb! Ally-Oop RomonoBomb!
Nessa Reeves: Frankie Romono just laid out Kristian Bane with an Ally-Oop RomonoBomb, but now he has to get the nearly unconscious Bane through a table!
Frankie rolls out of the ring, and starts looking under it for something. He comes out with a table. Frankie slides the table into the ring. He sets it up, gives it a few pats to make sure it's nice and study, then he turns back to Bane. Frankie starts dragging him up, but Bane shoves Frankie backwards OVER the table! Frankie starts to stand, using the ropes. Bane PICKS UP THE TABLE AND SWINGS IT LIKE A BAT AT FRANKIE!!! The impact sends Frankie over the top rope, crashing onto the apron before hitting the ground. Frankie slowly tries to stand, when Bane throws the table in-between the ropes! The table catches Frankie in the throat, knocking him back. Frankie pops back up, struggling for air while grabbing at his throat and slowly making his way to the barricade. Bane rolls out the other side of the ring, and then starts running around the ring, longways, to gain some speed. He comes at Frankie full force and SLAMS him with a massive shoulder block! Frankie is sent over the barricade into the crowd!
Eva Leurox: Oh My God. Let's see a replay of that!
Bane jumps over the barricade and starts to approach Frankie. Frankie is slowly wobbling up, his face now has a line of blood streaming down it. Bane gets closer to Frankie, but Frankie turns and shoves an audience member at him! Bane grabs the member and gently pushes them aside as Frankie sprints at him and spears him through the barricade! Both men are down!
Nessa Reeves: As violent as one might expect from these two!
Bane starts to get to his feet, and hes up! Bane drags Frankie up, Frankie pushes Bane backwards and then leaps at him catching him on the jaw with another knee! Frankie grabs Bane's wrist as he stumbles back and pulls him forward, onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry. Frankie swings Bane's head down into a headlock and leaps backwards hitting a Standing Air-Raid Crash! Franke holds the headlock, and starts to punch at the cut on Bane's head. Soon Bane has blood streaming from his head. Frankie laughs and let's go. Frankie then drags Bane over to the ringpost, placing his head on it. Frankie backs up and lungs forward with his right foot but Bane moves! Frankie hits the post hard and then grabs his foot. Bane slides his arm under Frankie's raised right leg and lifts Frankie into the air on his shoulder, and then drops him hard with a Sitout Powerbomb! Bane rolls backwards, pops up and yells.
Eva Leurox: Ok, I don't care who you are. That was beautiful!
Bane grabs the table he had thrown from the ring and sets it up. Then he goes to Frankie and pulls Frankie up by his beard and flings him at the table! Frankie's face hits the table hard, but it was only the edge of it! Both Frankie and the table fall over. Bane goes over and shoves Frankie out of the way, and then sets up the table again. But Frankie leaps while his back is turned and catching him with a low blow! Bane slumps over the table, Frankie raises Bane up in an electric chair position, and then drops Bane forwards, and he falls right through the table!
Eva Leurox: What?
Nessa Reeves: Frankie just "stole" another from Bane!
Damon Reid: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner via putting Kristian Bane though a table... Frankie Romono!
Nessa Reeves: What about that travesty that Mr. Melon just had to go through? Someone get that man some fruit!
Eva Leurox: And now, the SHOWTIME rematch. Bane vs Romono II. Here we go.
The arena goes dark, a slow booming sound can be heard and BAM! Pyros shoot off as 'The Vengeful One' blares. Kristian Bane walks out in front of the crowd. Bane walks methodically to the ring. He waits in the ring for Frankie Romono to emerge.
Nessa Reeves: Bane is JACKED right now. Frankie Romono might have a lot to look out for.
"Fuck It" sounds off on the loudspeakers, starting immediately with the chorus.
Frankie goes to his corner and hops up into a seated position on the top turnbuckle. A smile still panted on his face. He and Bane stare at each other; a look of determination on Bane's face, a smile on Frankie's.
Eva Leurox: This one is not going to be pretty, as we look at two different sides of the coin. Just months ago Kristian Bane started this rivalry by taking out Romono with a camera. Then Romono fired back by costing Bane a win against Stitches which all lead to the Barbed Wire Massacre, with a somewhat controversial finish that saw TayTay hand Frankie a taser, which Frankie used to take out Bane... What I'm getting at here is, there is no love lost between these two and this match will only further the hatred they share."Fuck it! I see you in me!
Fuck it! I feel you in me!
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me!"
Out onto the stage walks Frankie Romono, dragging his beloved crutch Dolly behind him. He stands at the top of the stage, and smirks at the crowd. He raises Dolly onto his shoulder and walks down the ramp, slowly, arrogantly. When he gets to the ring he slides Dolly in under the bottom rope, and then he rolls in as well. He picks up Dolly, and looks right into the hard cam. Smiling and waving.Fuck it! I feel you in me!
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me!"
Frankie goes to his corner and hops up into a seated position on the top turnbuckle. A smile still panted on his face. He and Bane stare at each other; a look of determination on Bane's face, a smile on Frankie's.
Damon Reid: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following match is a TABLES MATCH! Introducing first, standing at 6'6", 315 pounds... Kristian Bane! And his opponent, standing at 6'1", 207 pounds... Frankie Romono!

The feed starts with Bane inches from Frankie, slowly Bane crashes into Frankie. Frankie's whole body shutters as he is lifted from his feet and tumbles backwards over the barricade. The tremors are seen shooting through both men's bodies after the impact.
Nessa Reeves: As violent as one might expect from these two!
Bane starts to get to his feet, and hes up! Bane drags Frankie up, Frankie pushes Bane backwards and then leaps at him catching him on the jaw with another knee!

DING DING DING!!!
Eva Leurox: Frankie wins, but one must admit. It was under questionable circumstances yet again.
Nessa Reeves: At the end of the day Eva, match was no DQ. Frankie broke no rules and won the match. Congrats Romono!
Frankie backs up, clapping as he goes. TayTay jumps a barricade with Dolly and the two head up the ramp, watching Bane as they go. Kristian Bane is back up, watching Frankie leave. A look on his face which tells us, this isn't over yet.
Eva Leurox: Shifting gears a bit, earlier today Stitches and Marionette arrived and had some interesting things to say.

[REC] EARLIER TODAY
From the shadows Stitches and Marionette emerged as they approached the Colonial Life Arena. Stitches - clearly still low after the result of Night Of Champions - stumbles behind Marionette who twirls an open black and white umbrella in front of her body, giggling every so often with every turn of the umbrella.
Marionette: So what? You didn't win at Night Of Champions. At least you were able to crack a few skulls.
Stitches: But with that briefcase came an opportunity at the Indy Championship. With the championship around my waist I am afforded a bigger pay cheque.
Marionette: I remember when you slept in a cardboard box. This use to all be about chaos and destruction.
Stitches: Money is a great incentive to want bigger and better things. Why sleep in a cardboard box when I can sleep in a warm bed and still crack open skulls?
Marionette: I suppose you are right.
The two of them approach the back entrance to Colonial Life Arena to avoid the early bird attendees who were eager to get a glimpse of the stars as they arrived. Most of them were smarter than that and avoided that fiasco entirely. Stitches was set to lay Killjoy Ito to rest tonight, but a little itch at the back of his head reminded him that Frankie Romono was owed the Sound Of Silence after his actions after the Primetime Ladder Match at Night Of Champions.

LIVE
Eva Leurox: Interesting side of Stitches there folks.
Nessa Reeves: And that doubt is why Ito is leaving tonight the winner.
Eva Leurox: Maybe Nessa, we are still on an adrenaline high after that rematch between Kristian Bane and Frankie Romono as we now head to our second match of the night.
Nessa Reeves: Another No DQ matchup, and this one a triple threat!
'Live To Win' by Paul Stanley hits as the crowd get to their feet to await the man that is about to enter through the entrance curtains. Smoke billows through the entrance curtain and out onto the stage. The lights are dim and with every guitar riff during the first verse the lights flash in unison.
As soon as the song kicks in Richard Garcia bursts through the entrance curtains to an uproar from the crowd. The lights continue to flash in unison with the guitar riffs. Richard Garcia screams to the heavens above with excitement and then makes his way down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans as he passes by.
Once Richard Garcia reaches the bottom of the ramp he rushes towards the ring and slides into the ring before climbing up to the nearest turnbuckle and spreading his arms out, eagle-winged and screaming in excitement.
Richard Garcia jumps off of the turnbuckle and pumps himself up whilst waiting for his opponent to enter the ring.
Damon Reid: Introducing first, from Melbourne Australia, standing at six foot tall and weighing two-hundred-thirteen pounds. The Phoenix Star, Richard Gaaaaaarcia!
Richard! Richard! Richard!
Eva Leurox: Richard looks PUMPED for this matchup.
Damon Reid: And his opponent, hailing from Woodstock, Canada. Simply The Best, Mr. Jordan "Freakin" Sharpe!
It's pitch black when the song begins to play and then as the lyrics begin it changes to deep red and Sharpe comes down to the ring. He really is indifferent to his entrance and doesn't care to even react or do anything.
Nessa Reeves: JFS was once a very good in-ring competitor... let's see if he still has it.
The sound of a bullet being fired echoes through the arena, before Heavy is the Head begins to play. Smoke begins to fill the top of the entrance ramp. Eventually, Kelly bursts through the smoke, wearing a mouth mask with a bullet between teeth design on it. He stops at the top of the entrance ramp, makes a two finger gun on each hand and fires a shot into the crowd on either side of him. As he does so, pyro goes off on either side of him
Damon Reid: And their opponent, also from Melbourne, Australia, he weighs in at 225 pounds, he is THE LETHAL WEAPON.....JONTY KELLY
After making his way down the entrance ramp, Kelly enters the ring and immediately jumps on a turnbuckle and poses, holding up four fingers in his right hand and a two finger gun pointed downward in his left hand. Kelly then climbs down and takes off his mouth mask, ready to fight.
Eva Leurox: Here we go, may the best man win!
Kelly explodes out of his corner and starts laying into JFS with lefts and rights following a massive corner clothesline. With JFS stunned Kelly turns his attention to Garcia. Both men stare the other day, walking in a circle. Both go for the superkick, but stop midway. They both chuckle and then go into a shoulder and collar tie up. Neither man giving the other the edge. They release, JFS is starting to stand but is laid out by a double set of Superkicks from both Garcia and Kelly.
Eva Leurox: Two very similar opponents here.
Kelly is quick to grab Garcia will he is distracted, but Garcia gets out of it with a few elbows. Garcia pushes Jelly back, followed by a wild headbutt that connects, Kelly stumbles back to the ropes, Garcia runs and clotheslines him over. Garcia turns back towards JFS but is met with The BFPT palm strike! Garcia falls back onto the ropes just as Kelly springboards over. Kelly locks Garcia in a side headlock while also grabbing JFS in one, thus hitting a bulldog/DDT combo!
Nessa Reeves: Kelly proving why he did so good in Australia!
Kelly roll onto the apron. He grabs the rope and waits as JFS is getting to his feet, Kelly then leaps and hits a dropkick! He makes the cover.
ONE
TWO
BREAKUP BY GARCIA!
Garcia is stumbling, as he tries to catch his senses. Kelly runs at him, Garcia jumps out of the way at the last second and Kelly goes right through the ropes and crashes outside!
Eva Leurox: The Five Time Australian Wrestler of The Year, Just made a Rookie mistake and it might cost him!
Garcia wastes no time, he stumbles over to JFS who has started to rise. Garcia helps him up and then Garcia puts his head under JFS' arm, about waist level and then turns, flipping JFS backwards and dropping him right on his head with the Reign of Fire! Cover!
ONE
TWO
THREE!!!
Kelly slides in just a moment too late to break up the pin.
Damon Reid: And your winner, Richard Garcia!
The ref raises Garcia's hand, who holds it high but still seems out of it. Kelly slams his fist on the mat. JFS rolls outside of the ring, his head hung low as the ringside medical staff help him to the back.
Nessa Reeves: If only Kelly had gotten there a second earlier, I'm sure this mistake will haunt him for a long time.
Eva Leurox: Take nothing from Richard Garcia though, who now has a nice little winning streak going!
Eva Leurox: Now folks we...
The camera pans to a visibly frustrated Jonty Kelly now in the corner of the ring.
Reeve: You can see Jonty Kelly not happy with how tonight's gone for him. Just one mistake, and he technically didn't get beaten tonight, but also wasn't able cross any names off that Hitlist of his. That list is a long one, so Kelly simply cannot afford to keep letting opportunities go to waste like he's done tonight. Otherwise, he'll still be here in his nineties trying to finish crossing names off
As Garcia is about to leave the ring, Kelly stops him and calls for a mic. Kelly is handed one and the two men come face to face and stare each other down
Kelly: I want to make one thing abundantly clear to you Garcia. You may have escaped tonight, but your fight is going to be in vain, because there's nothing I won't do, no length I'm not willing to go to. So, I suggest you sleep with one eye open and watch your back at all times, because you never know when the Lethal Weapon is going to focus his sights on you. You never know when your bullet will enter the chamber. You never know when your name is ready to be crossed off the Hitlist. All you are doing is prolonging the inevitable. Your fate is not in your own hands, it's on my boots. When the time comes where one of my boots connects with your face, shattering your jaw and knocking you out cold, your fate will be sealed and your name erased from my Hitlist. So consider yourself a lucky man tonight, consider yourself a survivor, celebrate the fact you're able to walk out this arena on your own accord. Lightning will not strike twice...You won't escape me next time
Nessa Reeves: And that doubt is why Ito is leaving tonight the winner.
Eva Leurox: Maybe Nessa, we are still on an adrenaline high after that rematch between Kristian Bane and Frankie Romono as we now head to our second match of the night.

'Live To Win' by Paul Stanley hits as the crowd get to their feet to await the man that is about to enter through the entrance curtains. Smoke billows through the entrance curtain and out onto the stage. The lights are dim and with every guitar riff during the first verse the lights flash in unison.
"Frustrated, degraded, down before you're done"
"Rejection, depression, can't get what you want"
"You ask me how I make my way"
"You ask me everywhere and why"
"You hang on every word I say"
"But the truth sounds like a lie"
"LIVE TO WIN!"
"Rejection, depression, can't get what you want"
"You ask me how I make my way"

The scene opens up backstage with medical personnel huddled around a lifeless body. Laying nearby is a black and white umbrella, the same umbrella that Marionette - Stitches' friend - was twirling as she approached the Colonial Life Arena earlier in the night. The white portions of the umbrella are stained with blood. As one of the medical personnel shift we get a glimpse of Marionette who lies lifeless in a pool of her own blood which seaps from a gash in her forehead.
A crowd had gathered nearby. Curious folk, eager to see what all the commotion is all about. The crowd parts slightly as a woman leaves the scene of the crime. Based off of her appearance it seems like it is TayTay, Frankie Romono's valet, who is making a hasty escape from the scene of the crime. Medical personnel wipe away the blood from the gash in Marionette's forehead as TayTay rounds a corner and disappears from sight.

Eva Leurox: Fans, we have no idea what happened to Marionette and will shell out information as well have it. Cleary something very bad as happened to her, and we wish her all the best.
Nessa Reeves: Stitches' mind was already fucked, no way Ito doesn't win tonight.
Eva Leurox: Nice Nessa, Nice. Anyways, we have to move onto the next match and we again wish all the best for Marionette.
Pablo and Shotaro approach each other, and exchange a handshake to start the match up.
Eva Leurox: Well, you always love to see that!

The ref holds Shotaro's hand high, but Shotaro jerks away and goes to Pablo. Shotaro helps Pablo up and the two shake hands once again before holding the other's hand high.
Eva Leurox: Do we possible see the next big tag team for the EWC? Lucha Strong Style perhaps?
Nessa Reeves: You're stretching. Anyways, congrats Shotaro.
Scene fades to...
Nessa Reeves: Stitches' mind was already fucked, no way Ito doesn't win tonight.
Eva Leurox: Nice Nessa, Nice. Anyways, we have to move onto the next match and we again wish all the best for Marionette.
Damon Reid: Hailing from Tokyo, Japan...Weighing in at two hundred and twenty-nine pounds, This is the Chaos Wizard! Shotaro Hashimoto!
The lights dime as the high energy hammer on and pull off riff from Snakes for the Divine rips through the arena, as the bass begins to throb, and the song powers into its opening riff, Shotaro Hashimoto pops out from behind the curtain to adulation, he works his way down to the ring, giving fans on both sides of the aisles both hands for high fives before rolling into the ring, just as Matt Pike and High on Fire launch in to more powerful speed metal.
Spotlights scan across the darkened arena as a lone voice hollers from the speakers, cracking under the weight of its own emotion:
“Viva Volando! Vive este momento! Viva la Rainbowlution!!”
Immediately, the intro to “Stronger” by Kanye West hits the sound system, the spotlights now pulsating to match the pounding of the kick drum.
That-that-that that don’t kill me / Can only make me stronger,
Man, I been waitin’ all night now / That’s how long I been on ya!
As the main hook hits, a single burst of rainbow-coloured pyro explodes up from the stage, popping the crowd as they dance beneath a dazzling, dizzying disco light display. As Kanye begins to spit his verse, the curtain parts, and El Pablo bursts out onto the stage, arms outstretched with a huge grin on his face, the top of his mask concealed beneath the hood of his trademark, fur-lined vest.
Damon Reid: And his opponent, From the Ikebukuro District of Tijuana, England… Weighing in at 195lbs...He is the Technicolour Tecnico, and the Leader of the Rainbowlution… ELLLLL PABLOOOOOOOOOO!!!
EP pauses at the top of the ramp, soaking in the reaction of the fans and encouraging them to offer even more. After a few moments, he drops to a knee, reaching into the pocket of his vest and pulling out a packet of Skittles. He empties them into his hand, takes a deep breath, then rolls forward, popping back to his feet and “shooting” the candy shells out from his palm towards the camera.
He then charges towards the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and popping back up in one fluid motion, before bounding over towards the corner and ascending the turnbuckle, throwing his fists into the air in triumph. As the crowd continues to come alive, EP pulls another packet of Skittles from his pocket, tossing back his head and chugging them before hopping back down to the mat. He whips his vest off and tosses it to a crew member, performing a few last-minute stretches against the ropes as his music fades.
Eva Leurox: This one has all the makings to be an instant classic folks!
Niklaus Forbes checks both men and then signals...

Scene fades to...
Jenna Salvatore is standing outside the locker room of Killjoy Ito as the camera cuts back to her and she turns as the door open and she expects to come face to face with ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love or even Killjoy Ito but a taller man with long blonde hair steps out and looks at her with a smile on his face…
Stranger: Johnny Curtis...
Jenna Salvatore: Excuse me…
Johnny Curtis: You were about to ask me my name sweetheart, so I thought I’d help you out a little…
Jenna Salvatore: I wasn’t, I really could care less who you are, I am looking for Tommy Love or even Killjoy Ito…
Johnny Curtis: Well Tommy is right inside there and as for Killjoy, well I haven’t seen him but I’ll be seeing you, take care…
He smiles and gives her a wink and walks away as Tommy walks out and sees what’s going on, he looks at Jenna and gives Curtis a wave…
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: See you around kid, well Jenna Salvatore, does it take being in the Main Event to bring you sniffing around for an interview?
Jenna Salvatore: Well Killjoy’s record of late sure hasn’t been enough to bring me around…
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Ouch, did you come up with that snappy little comeback all yourself?
Jenna Salvatore: The last time Killjoy took on Stitches one on one he lost…
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Oh Jenna, I know you want to have a standard litle interview where I try and pump up the viewers as to why they need to keep that TV on and make them think Killjoy has a shot here tonight but the truth is nothing I say is going to sway the viewers, the ones that hate him are still going to hate him and the ones that think he’ll lose will still think that way...you can’t fix stupid honey and I’ll be wasting my breath trying to and honestly I just don’t have it in me…
Jenna Salvatore: Then why come out here to be interviewed?
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Because I heard Johnny talking to you so I came out to save him from you...and then you put this microphone in my face and lets face it, I love to hear myself talk so here goes...nothing that happened in the past matters tonight, Stitches doesn’t get bounce points for beating Killjoy in the past, once that bell rings none of it matters, it comes down to who wants it more, tonight, who wants it more...and who NEEDS it more. I spend the last week telling Killjoy that the time is now...that we can’t afford another set back, the people back home are not happy and are having second thoughts about him being here…
Jenna Salvatore: Is that why this Johnny Curtis was in there?
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Trying to break some Breaking News Jenna, you need not worry about Johnny Curtis or why he was in there with me, what you need to worry about is tonight, same as Stitches, this isn’t going to be an easy night in the office, no walk in the park for him, Killjoy understands how important this match is for him, I don’t want to say it’s a MUST win but we came here to win the Indy Championship and that ship is close to leaving port. We are at a point where we need a big win and there is not bigger win than over the Two Time Indy Champion that would get us right back into the conversations. So tonight Killjoy Ito will enter that ring and fight like his life depends on it...now...I must get ready and well find Killjoy...have you seen him?
Jenna points over Tommy’s shoulder as Killjoy walks up behind Tommy Love who turns and smiles…
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: There you are kid, I’ve been looking everywhere for you, come on inside, I want to go over a few things…
Tommy turns and shoves the microphone away from them as they walk in and Tommy closes the door behind them...
Stranger: Johnny Curtis...
Jenna Salvatore: Excuse me…
Johnny Curtis: You were about to ask me my name sweetheart, so I thought I’d help you out a little…

Before the bell rings, the lights in the arena and Kyle enters on the ramp in a cowboy hat and a single candle and a ring bell. An acoustic version of "Eastbound and Down"played in a minor chord plays. Kyle says a few words about the passing of Burt Reynolds and how the brotherhood of mustaches should strengthen, not year at each other. He also made mention the night ous being sponsored by Coors, because if you don't drink Coors east of the Mississippi, then Bandit, Frog, Fred and Snowman sacrificed for nothing. He asks for a moment of silence and rings the bell a customary ten.
However, tenth bell ring is louder and comes from up the ramp from Maurice Yensman, who holds a larger bell. He tells Kyle it's a lot easier to talk about strengthening a brotherhood when you're up two matches to one and is closer to keeping his. Kyle tells him that he never wanted to bargain the safety of their mustaches, but since Maurice brought in the stipulation, they both were honor bound to see it to completion.
The bell rings and the match starts. However, there was blood in the water, e.g. Kyle's injured arm, and Maurice kept to his gameplan and focused solely on the arm. While Kyle had moments of hope, three Empire State of Minds landing squarely on Kyle's shoulder was enough to do him in. On the way out of the ring, Maurice looked as if he was going to light a cigarette on the Burt Reynolds memorial candle but thought better of it, instead turning to Kyle and nodding in a slight show of respect for their recently departed brethren .

Eva Leurox: That was quick, Rest In Peace Burt!
Eva Leurox: We still don't know what happened to Marionette. This match could go very badly.
Nessa Reeves: On more pressing news, congrats Shotaro on the big win!
'One Missed Call (2008) Theme' plays as the lights go dark. As the beat drops at around the thirty seven second mark the curtains are brushed to the side, smoke spewing out from behind the curtains, and out walks Stitches. A look of sadness on his face, obviously worried about Marionette. He heads to the ring, ignoring the crowd, and then slumps down in his corner awaiting the bell.
Eva Leurox: Stitches is in a bad way ladies and gentlemen.
Nessa Reeves: He needs to get his head in the game before Ito takes advantage and leaves with the win!
The lights fade out as ‘Deeper Deeper’ begins to play. A strobe light circles around the stage as a single white spotlight hits the stage where Killjoy Ito is standing, his back facing the ring, his arms stretched out and his head down. He swings around to face the camera and the ring as his manager ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love walks out onto the stage, his custom tennis racquet in the air. He leads Killjoy to the ring as the fans heckle him but reach out to touch Killjoy. Tommy Love walks up the steps first and enters the ring and walks the ring with his ‘Love Stick’ held high in the air, he threatens the referee with it and tells him to call the match clean as Killjoy climbs into the ring and walks to the center of the ring. He stretches out his arms and tilts his head back and soaks in the cheers from the fans before removing his jacket and hands it to Tommy Love who exits the ring and stands ringside.
Eva Leurox: Ito is looking as good as ever as one has to suspect he has all sights set on really taking advantage of Stitches.
Nessa Reeves: Ito is one of the brightest in the game for sure. If Stitches can't knock it out, the loss is a sure thing here!
Damon Reid: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first. The first ever and only two time former Indy Champ, Stitches The Clown!
Stiches doesn't look at the crowd, he just sits in his corner.
Damon Reid: And his opponent, from all the way in Japan. The Young Lion of the EWC, Killjoy Ito!
Nessa Reeves: This is not going to end well.
Niklaus Forbes calls for the bell.
Ito runs at the still seated Stitches, stomping on his midsection. Niklaus backs him up but he is soon back on Stitches, stomping away. Ito grabs Stitches' foot and drags him out of the corner, more kicks to the midsection. The crowd boos loudly.
Eva Leurox: Killjoy is holding NOTHING back.
Ito sends Stitches into the ropes, on the rebound he hits a big time dropkick! Cover!
ONE!
T
KICKOUT BY STITCHES!
Ito drags Stitches up in a headlock. Ito wrenches it in tighter as he squeezes the air from Stitches' throat. On the outside Tommy Love is screaming for joy, and it sounded like he said something about Marionette.
Eva Leurox: Something tells me that's not smart Tommy!
Stitches hears it as well, the distraught look on his face turning to anger. Stitches starts to power out of the headlock and soon as Ito up on his shoulders in a fireman's carry, Stitches jumps backwards with a Samoan drop! Both men are back up, Stitches slaps Ito in the ear, turning him around. Stitches jumps up for the neckbreaker and connects! On the outside Tommy is starting to look worried. Stitches drags Ito up, and sends him into the corner. Stitches runs at Ito and hits a corner clothesline. Now it is Stitches dragging Ito out and stomping on the fallen man.
Nessa Reeves: The tides have turned!
Stitches shoves off Nikolaus and grabs Ito's left hand. Stitches starts to twist and contort it, starting directly at Tommy while he inflicts pain on Ito with joint manipulation. Stitches lets go and Ito rolls out of the ring, Stitches goes to follow and goes in-between the ropes but Ito rushes forward and kicks him in the head! Stitches falls to the ground, Ito quickly grabs him and pulls him up in a Ronguguddonaito rear-naked choke! Stitches senses the danger and quickly jumps backwards into the barricade to break it up, Stitches goes to step forward but Ito grabs his hair and yanks him to the ground. Ito runs into the ring, to the other side and then rebounds off back towards Stitches. Ito leaps over the rope, going for the suicide summerset senton, but Stitches moves! Ito crashes hard into the ground but quickly bounces up, he turns around into a Lethal Lariat from Stitches!
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Eva Leurox: Let's get a replay of that one folks!
Stitches drags Ito up, and rolls him onto the apron. Stitches climbs onto the apron and eyes Tommy Love as he drags Ito up, and puts him in a side headlock.
Eva Leurox: Don't tell me he's going for the Sound of Silence on the apron!
Stitches releases the headlock and hooks both arms, he falls back driving Ito head first into the apron! Stitches lets Ito fall to the mat and turns his attention to Tommy. The ref starts to count. Tommy backs up as Stitches follows. The ref is up to five. Ito is still down, and Stitches is on the ramp!
Nessa Reeves: Not like this!

Ito is up, rolling into the ring, Stitches lets Tommy run as he sprints for the ring and slides in just in time.

Nessa Reeves: Thank God!

Damon Reid: And your winner, Stitches the Clown!
Eva Leurox: What a match!
Ito rolls out of the ring and heads up the ramp. Tommy tries to cheer him up but Ito walks ahead and doesn't appear to be listening.
Back in the ring, Stitches is again seated in the corner. When someone jumps the barricade behind him. Stitches stands up and goes to leave as the unknown person rolls in behind him. Stitches turns around as the attacker jumps at him, dropping him with a Thez Press! The attacker hammers away on Stitches, they stand up after a few hits and pull the hoodie off. Its Frankie Romono! TayTay comes walking down the ramp, carrying Marionette's umbrella! She throws it in to Frankie, who turns to Stitches and lays into him, bending the umbrella over the man's head.
Eva Leurox: What is going on here?
Frankie drags Stitches to the ropes, rolls under and then pulls Stitches out. Frankie puts Stitches in a headlock and then drags him along with him. He goes up the ramp, passes Gorilla and heads down a hallway. They get a spot with dried blood on the pavement. Frankie drops Stitches.
Frankie Romono: I DID THIS! THAT BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF YOUR PRECIOUS MARIONETTE!
Frankie points at himself. Stitches looks around, seemingly lost in thought.
Frankie Romono: I'm tired of you stealing my spotlight, so I put that fucking bitch in the hospital. And I'm sending you there next!
Stitches explodes up and shoves Frankie back, Stitches hits a headbutt and blood starts pouring from Frankie's nose, TayTay runs up from behind with Dolly, and hits Stitches in the back of his head. Stitches goes to fall limp but Frankie holds him up and charges forward, spearing Stitches through a locker-room door! Both men are down, but Frankie rolls up. He sees a watercooler, and grabs it. He goes over to Stitches and dumps it all on his face, then Frankie rubs his face, smearing his face paint. Frankie laughs, throws the container at Stitches and then leaves. As he is leaving he stops in his tracks when Stitches starts yelling...
Stitches: Romono! ROMONO! YOU'RE A COWARD! FACE ME, ROMONO!
Frankie turns back towards Stitches, he drags Stitches up, but Stitches has a piece of broken glass from the door and slashes Frankie's cheek! Stitches goes to do more damage but refs and security have finally arrived to pull them apart. Frankie hits a straight left jab to one of the guards and knocks him out, Stitches in turn is attacking his restrainers. More come out to hold the two back, with them is Hayley Kushnir! She stands in front of Frankie, telling him to stop it and calm down. Frankie breaks free and slaps here in the side of the head, she falls over! Frankie lunges and kicks Stitches in the gut. He yanks Stitches away from the guards and then flips him up into powerbomb position. Frankie runs forward and powerbombs Stitches through a table with food on it. Frankie waves bye-bye as he and TayTay back away. Marshall is out checking on Hayley, who know has blood trickling down from her ear. Marshall's angry look is the last thing the camera sees as it fades to black.
Nessa Reeves: On more pressing news, congrats Shotaro on the big win!
'One Missed Call (2008) Theme' plays as the lights go dark.

Nessa Reeves: He needs to get his head in the game before Ito takes advantage and leaves with the win!
The lights fade out as ‘Deeper Deeper’ begins to play. A strobe light circles around the stage as a single white spotlight hits the stage where Killjoy Ito is standing, his back facing the ring, his arms stretched out and his head down. He swings around to face the camera and the ring as his manager ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love walks out onto the stage, his custom tennis racquet in the air. He leads Killjoy to the ring as the fans heckle him but reach out to touch Killjoy. Tommy Love walks up the steps first and enters the ring and walks the ring with his ‘Love Stick’ held high in the air, he threatens the referee with it and tells him to call the match clean as Killjoy climbs into the ring and walks to the center of the ring. He stretches out his arms and tilts his head back and soaks in the cheers from the fans before removing his jacket and hands it to Tommy Love who exits the ring and stands ringside.
Eva Leurox: Ito is looking as good as ever as one has to suspect he has all sights set on really taking advantage of Stitches.
Nessa Reeves: Ito is one of the brightest in the game for sure. If Stitches can't knock it out, the loss is a sure thing here!
Damon Reid: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first. The first ever and only two time former Indy Champ, Stitches The Clown!
Stiches doesn't look at the crowd, he just sits in his corner.
Damon Reid: And his opponent, from all the way in Japan. The Young Lion of the EWC, Killjoy Ito!
Nessa Reeves: This is not going to end well.
Niklaus Forbes calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
Ito runs at the still seated Stitches, stomping on his midsection. Niklaus backs him up but he is soon back on Stitches, stomping away. Ito grabs Stitches' foot and drags him out of the corner, more kicks to the midsection. The crowd boos loudly.
Eva Leurox: Killjoy is holding NOTHING back.
Ito sends Stitches into the ropes, on the rebound he hits a big time dropkick! Cover!
ONE!

KICKOUT BY STITCHES!
Ito drags Stitches up in a headlock. Ito wrenches it in tighter as he squeezes the air from Stitches' throat. On the outside Tommy Love is screaming for joy, and it sounded like he said something about Marionette.
Eva Leurox: Something tells me that's not smart Tommy!
Stitches hears it as well, the distraught look on his face turning to anger. Stitches starts to power out of the headlock and soon as Ito up on his shoulders in a fireman's carry, Stitches jumps backwards with a Samoan drop! Both men are back up, Stitches slaps Ito in the ear, turning him around. Stitches jumps up for the neckbreaker and connects! On the outside Tommy is starting to look worried. Stitches drags Ito up, and sends him into the corner. Stitches runs at Ito and hits a corner clothesline. Now it is Stitches dragging Ito out and stomping on the fallen man.
Nessa Reeves: The tides have turned!
Stitches shoves off Nikolaus and grabs Ito's left hand. Stitches starts to twist and contort it, starting directly at Tommy while he inflicts pain on Ito with joint manipulation. Stitches lets go and Ito rolls out of the ring, Stitches goes to follow and goes in-between the ropes but Ito rushes forward and kicks him in the head! Stitches falls to the ground, Ito quickly grabs him and pulls him up in a Ronguguddonaito rear-naked choke! Stitches senses the danger and quickly jumps backwards into the barricade to break it up, Stitches goes to step forward but Ito grabs his hair and yanks him to the ground. Ito runs into the ring, to the other side and then rebounds off back towards Stitches. Ito leaps over the rope, going for the suicide summerset senton, but Stitches moves! Ito crashes hard into the ground but quickly bounces up, he turns around into a Lethal Lariat from Stitches!
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Eva Leurox: Let's get a replay of that one folks!
Ito leaps over the rope, tucking his head and getting into Senton position. Stitches moves as it slows down and Ito crashes back first into the ground. It speeds back up as Ito bounces up and turns to Stitches and slows down as Stitches connects with the Lethal Lariat, turning Ito inside out.
Stitches drags Ito up, and rolls him onto the apron. Stitches climbs onto the apron and eyes Tommy Love as he drags Ito up, and puts him in a side headlock.
Eva Leurox: Don't tell me he's going for the Sound of Silence on the apron!
Stitches releases the headlock and hooks both arms, he falls back driving Ito head first into the apron! Stitches lets Ito fall to the mat and turns his attention to Tommy. The ref starts to count. Tommy backs up as Stitches follows. The ref is up to five. Ito is still down, and Stitches is on the ramp!
Nessa Reeves: Not like this!

Eva Leurox: What a match!
DING DING DING!!!
Ito rolls out of the ring and heads up the ramp. Tommy tries to cheer him up but Ito walks ahead and doesn't appear to be listening.
Back in the ring, Stitches is again seated in the corner. When someone jumps the barricade behind him. Stitches stands up and goes to leave as the unknown person rolls in behind him. Stitches turns around as the attacker jumps at him, dropping him with a Thez Press! The attacker hammers away on Stitches, they stand up after a few hits and pull the hoodie off. Its Frankie Romono! TayTay comes walking down the ramp, carrying Marionette's umbrella! She throws it in to Frankie, who turns to Stitches and lays into him, bending the umbrella over the man's head.
Eva Leurox: What is going on here?
Frankie drags Stitches to the ropes, rolls under and then pulls Stitches out. Frankie puts Stitches in a headlock and then drags him along with him. He goes up the ramp, passes Gorilla and heads down a hallway. They get a spot with dried blood on the pavement. Frankie drops Stitches.
Frankie Romono: I DID THIS! THAT BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF YOUR PRECIOUS MARIONETTE!
Frankie points at himself. Stitches looks around, seemingly lost in thought.
Frankie Romono: I'm tired of you stealing my spotlight, so I put that fucking bitch in the hospital. And I'm sending you there next!
Stitches explodes up and shoves Frankie back, Stitches hits a headbutt and blood starts pouring from Frankie's nose, TayTay runs up from behind with Dolly, and hits Stitches in the back of his head. Stitches goes to fall limp but Frankie holds him up and charges forward, spearing Stitches through a locker-room door! Both men are down, but Frankie rolls up. He sees a watercooler, and grabs it. He goes over to Stitches and dumps it all on his face, then Frankie rubs his face, smearing his face paint. Frankie laughs, throws the container at Stitches and then leaves. As he is leaving he stops in his tracks when Stitches starts yelling...
Stitches: Romono! ROMONO! YOU'RE A COWARD! FACE ME, ROMONO!
Frankie turns back towards Stitches, he drags Stitches up, but Stitches has a piece of broken glass from the door and slashes Frankie's cheek! Stitches goes to do more damage but refs and security have finally arrived to pull them apart. Frankie hits a straight left jab to one of the guards and knocks him out, Stitches in turn is attacking his restrainers. More come out to hold the two back, with them is Hayley Kushnir! She stands in front of Frankie, telling him to stop it and calm down. Frankie breaks free and slaps here in the side of the head, she falls over! Frankie lunges and kicks Stitches in the gut. He yanks Stitches away from the guards and then flips him up into powerbomb position. Frankie runs forward and powerbombs Stitches through a table with food on it. Frankie waves bye-bye as he and TayTay back away. Marshall is out checking on Hayley, who know has blood trickling down from her ear. Marshall's angry look is the last thing the camera sees as it fades to black.
