LIVE! from Multiple locations
Commentators: Eva Leurox and Nessa Reeve
Announcer: Damon Reid
Senior Referee: Niklaus Forbes
Backstage Interviewer: Jenna Salvatore
While 'Could've Been Me' by The Struts blares over the loudspeakers at every location, golden fireworks light up the sky in a display that shines brightly regardless of it is day or night. Brilliant blue spotlights swirl over the cheering crowds, whipping them up into a near-frenzy of excitement at the show to come.
Cameras flash all around the arena as the Mac-Tron cycles through Prime's roster. Aeon Khronos, Candy, Captain Taco, Carlos Ruiz, Criss Cassidy, El Pablo, Equinox, Frankie Romono, Freddie Styles, Jonty Kelly, Jordan Sharpe, Khaos, Killjoy Ito, Patches, Neveah, Richard Garcia, Shotaro Hashimoto, Stitches the Clown, Trixie, and Walter Melon are all featured. After one final pan over the crowd...
The camera centers on ringside at the Arena, where Eva Leurox and Nessa Reeve sit. As soon as they notice the camera, both commentators smile.
Eva Leurox: Good evening everyone, and welcome to Prime! As always, I am Eva Leurox, and I am joined by Nessa Reeve... and boy oh boy, do we have a stacked card tonight!
Nessa Reeve: And we're not just talking about matches, either. Rumor has it that throughout the night, we're going to be discovering who will not only be on Team Prime heading into Stable Wars... but who will be on all of the other teams as well!
Leurox: It makes me wonder how Marshall pulled it off, though I'm not gonna think too much about it. Like that old U2 song says, he moves in mysterious ways.
Reeve: Besides, there's no mystery about our main event tonight as we're going to be getting a glimpse at what the G1 will be bringing to the table as Nevaeh, Killjoy Ito, and El Pablo face off in a triple threat!
Leurox: And leading into that match is a rematch that has been a long time coming, as Candy and Carlos face off one-on-one in a bout that could easily be on a pay-per-view!
Reeve: We also can't forget about the G1 Qualifier between Khaos and Richard Garcia, where chaos and order collide! Which will win out? I can't wait to find out!
Leurox: Me neither, though if we're talking a collision of order and chaos... there's bound to be Hell to pay for Stitches as he gets into the ring with Jordan Sharpe. Those two men have been at each others' throats in the promotional videos leading up to this match!
Reeve: Their clash, though, is nothing compared to the outright war of words that has been going on between Melon Club and Frankie Romono's new manager, Katie Paxwel. I can't help but think that the former Blackheart is gonna let his fists do the talking against Arya here in a little bit!
Leurox: But to start us all off, we've got Jason Lawrence taking on Shotaro Hashimoto... and both men must be hungry to make an impact with the 2018 season so close to its end!
Reeve: I think that's putting it lightly, Eva. Before we get to the action, here's some words from our fearless leader himself, Marshall Evans!
The camera cuts backstage to the office of Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir. In the background, Hayley can be seen on the phone, a pen in hand as she continues the work needed to coordinate PRIME's season finale. Marshall offers up a dazzling smile.
Evans: Nǐ hǎo, everyone! As I'm sure you know, Stable Wars is coming up... and since Hayley and I are at the helm of the only TRULY global brand under EWC's banner, we thought we'd give everyone the chance to announce their teams since the pay-per-view is less than two weeks away!
A pause; Marshall's smile shifts into a boyish, mischievous sort of smirk.
Evans: Though between you and me? I only let'em do it to help soothe the sting of all of their collective egos when we send them all crying back to their respective brands. Prime's influence is only going to continue to spread, and there's nothing they can do to stop it. And now, without any further ado... here's the captain of Team Prime, our Indy Champion and everyone's Undisputed champion, Candy!
With a wink and a finger-gun that somehow seems cool rather than lame, the scene fades into a transition that ends up on Candy sitting in front of the Prime logo with a smile on her face.
Candy: So earlier this week, I was contacted by Marshall Evans and he told me about the big Main Event match for Stable Wars. That Team Prime would be doing battle with 5 Person Teams from each of the other brands. Pretty exciting stuff if you ask me. Gives us yet another chance to stand out against both Brawl and Rampage. Even FSW. The only thing left for me to do is pick four other competitors from our brand to stand at my side to do battle. Which is easier said than done. Considering I’m targeted by each and every member of our Roster.[/font]
Cameras pan out to show the Indy Championship resting there.
Candy: But the more I thought about it, I knew I had to put that out of my mind and pick the best of the best. So I decided to go with the second person to bring gold back to Prime, Stitches. Two other people that have taken me to the limit every time we’re in the ring together, El Pablo and Killjoy Ito. And last but certainly not least, Frankie Romono. I have no doubt that the BlackHeart will be beneficial for our team considering some of the other people we might be up against.[/font]
Candy nods.
Candy: As of right now, I have no idea who the rest of the teams are. But I don’t care. I know all of us has what it takes to be the most dominant brand out there. And soon everyone else will know it, too! Like it or not, come StableWars I’m going to make sure it’s a sweet night for the members of Team PRIME.
With that, the scene fades on Candy’s determined stare.

SHOTARO HASHIMOTO Vs
JASON LAWRENCE
Live from the Messestadion in Durnbirn, Australia
FRIDAY- PRE-RECORDING
DING DING DING
Shotaro Hashimoto offered Jason Lawrence a handshake once the bell rang, the gesture of respect earning a disapproving look from Lawrence. Rebuked, Hashimoto shrugged before initializing a collar-and-elbow tie-up that he held the advantage in briefly due to his height... but it wasn't enough to prevent Jason from driving his hip into his opponent's solar plexus, driving the air out of the Chaos Wizard. The Tokyo native was able to snag one of Jason's wrists and wrench on it hard enough to even the score. Lawrence was quick to send Hashimoto into the ropes, setting off a chain of nimble and unconventional dodges from Hashimoto every time that Lawrence tried to land a blow right up to where Hashimoto put on the brakes suddenly, slapping Lawrence lightly across the face in a show of disrespect to pay him back for the handshake Jason blew off at the beginning of the match! Incensed, Lawrence sent Hashimoto into the ropes one more time, catching him on the rebound with a Powerslam that shook the ring on impact!
Jason's anger only grew as Shotaro managed to get a shoulder up at the two-count.
That sparked off a veritable tirade that was only matched by how violently Lawrence dragged his opponent to his feet and bodily threw him into the nearest corner, a running dropkick making Hashimoto see stars as he stumbled forward and collapsed to the mat. Boos rose in volume as Jason taunted his downed opponent before punishing him further for daring to disrespect him. Shotaro, to his credit, endured it all.... even the ankle lock that Lawrence eventually locked in, wanting to humiliate his opponent by making him tap. It was Hashimoto's veteran experience that saved him, Shotaro managing to drag his way to the ropes to free himself thanks to a misplacement of ring positioning on Jason's part. Lawrence held the submission right up to the 4.99 mark, letting it go to leave Shotaro in a mass on the canvas. Jawing off to the referee about how he wasn't saving his opponent, Jason went to drag Shotaro to his feet.... but the moment he bent down, Hashimoto hauled his opponent into a small package, getting the three-count out of nowhere!

WINNER: SHOTARO HASHIMOTO VIA PINFALL
Leurox: What a show of veteran savvy from the Chaos Wizard as he picks up the win!
Reeve: There was no way Jason could've seen that coming. I sure didn't!
Leurox: Neither did I! Both men had a solid accounting for themselves, I think, and there's no doubt in my mind that Marshall and Hayley both were watching closely.
Reeve: But did Jason Lawrence impress them enough to earn that second chance at the G1?
The cameraman walks into the locker-room labeled "Romono". Inside Frankie is sparring with another man who is in full spar gear, from the mask/face-guard to boxing mitts to shin protectors. Katie Paxwel watches them spar, taking notes down in a notepad.
Katie: Left.
Romono tosses a left jab landing in the right boxing mitt.
Katie: Right.
Right jab to left mitt.
Katie: Left, right, left, left, right, left, right.
Frankie begins the combo, left jab to right mitt, right jab to left mitt, left jab to right mitt, left jab to right mitt...
Katie: Big Knee! Now!
Frankie began to toss the right jab but shifted his weight and momentum and leaped towards the man, kneeing him in the side of his face-guard.
Katie: Duck left
Frankie ducks a left hook.
Katie: Duck right.
Frankie ducks a right haymaker.
Katie: Good, lay em out Romono.
Frankie steps forward, ducking another left and coming up hard with a right hook that knocked the man to the floor.
Katie: Good, good. Your control is improving Frankie. You keep putting that rage into your footwork, the fury into your strikes, so long as you keep your head and don't get stupid on me you will be unstoppable.
Katie tossed Frankie a bottle of water, and Frankie proceeds to drink it.
Katie: Candy sees that fire inside you Frankie, and that's why she chose you to represent team PRIME at StableWars despite your losing ways as of late. The fucking Undisputed Champion chose YOU to be one of four that will stand beside her Frankie... YOU, and you won't blow this if you keep your control. You are going to go out there, knock Arya on her spoiled little butt and then you are going to start working stamina drills immediately afterwards.
Frankie nods his head and finishes his water. Katie smiles, and then jots something down in her notes. There is a light tap on the door as a ref pops his head in.
Ref: One minute Mr. Romono
Frankie nods to him, and then heads towards the door. Katie follows him out.
Katie: Knock her dead Romono, knock her dead.
The camera follows behind them, but turns and takes one last look at the sparring partner who is finally starting to stand.

FRANKIE ROMONO Vs
ARYA MELON
Live from the Pavilhão da Cidadela in Luanda, Angola
FRIDAY- PRE-RECORDING
DING DING DING
Arya Melon, the daughter and partner of Walter Melon, makes her debut against an opponent the Melon Gods have already forsaken in Frankie Romono. However this seemed to be a different Frankie. The uncontrollable rage within Frankie seemed honed as Ms. K watched on with a hawkish glare. And so when Arya used her speed and agility to duck under clotheslines, slip free of body slams, and flip out of a vertical suplex - Frankie remained composed. Arya followed up that reversal with a dropkick to the back of the skull and Frankie went flying over the top rope - crumpled at the feet of Katie Paxwell.
Katie offered little morale support and only told him to do his job. He nodded solemnly. And while Arya kept him on his toes with more high flying maneuvers, it’s when she tried to overpower him with Sharpstrawberry that things began to unravel for the Melon Wolf. Frankie used the strength in his legs to refuse to be turned over and then staggered her with a kick to the jaw. And then continued to the assault to a high knee to the head. Frankie tried to Arya to sleep with a rear naked choke - before her body could fall to the mat, he superkicked her in the back of the head. For a two count. Katie Paxwell looked unimpressed. She held up three fingers.
Frankie slapped the mat in frustration and then went for the closer with RomonoBomb. Arya countered with a hurricanrana and Made some Jam with a corkscrew shooting star press. For another two count. The end came with Arya with far too many risks and Frankie put his knees up to counter the Wolves’ Melon. In a turning point in his career, he seized Arya up in the Sicilian Stretched and wrenched mercilessly all while looking at Ms. K at ringside. Arya submitted. Katie Paxwell acknowledged the victory with a slight nod before departing.

WINNER: FRANKIE ROMONO VIA SUBMISSION
Leurox: And the losing streak of Frankie Romono has come to an end!
Reeve: It was bound to happen eventually, but I can't say I'm surprised that it happened tonight. The Melon Club as a whole has been tormenting Frankie over what happened to TayTay, and he made at least one member of it pay tonight!
Leurox: That he did... and listen to the fans! They're cheering a man they once booed right out of the building!
Reeve: I don't think he knows what to make of their support, but he deserves it for righting the ship tonight. Good job, Frankie!
The camera discovers FSW GM Brandon Carter Banks with his back to us, looking out what appears to be a high rise window. The view is unobstructed beauty of crystal blue sky, with the hustle and bustle of a city going on below it.
BCB: When I took over the reins of the Future Stars brand, I had a singular goal: to make this brand the number one talking point of EWC. At Stable Wars, I set out to prove it. As soon as the bell rang at the end of FSW topped Hardcore Revolution, I gave Robina Hood free will on who she wanted to take into battle. Without hesitation, she wrote down four names, placed the paper in my hand and seemingly dissipated with the shadows, taking her newly won, record breaking second FSW Heavyweight championship.
He turns to the camera and smiles.
BCB: At Stable Wars, Ms. FSW herself will lead one of the most stacked rosters in EWC history into the record books again. And honestly, she could have named any four on our roster and would still have the winning team. And now, for her team. ..
The window behind him starts to crackle to life as the photo of each superstar appears as they are announced.
BCB: In no particular order, we start with Melody Malone. ..
...Robbie 'Aire' Rayder. ..
...The Deerfield Destroyer Sarah Roberts. ..
... and former FSW champion Xavier Reid.
He pauses to let the moment sink in.
BCB : EWC can only prepare for the inevitable. Come Stable Wars, we remind the EWC nation why we're the best.
The shot fades out with a beautiful rendered Photoshop of team FSW in a pose, ala Wyatt Earp at the OK Corral.

SATURDAY PRE-RECORDING
DING DING DING
The only G1 Qualifier for this episode of Prime started out explosively, with Khaos bumrushing Richard Garcia as soon as Garcia climbed into the ring. After forcing the two men apart, the official started the match and as soon as he did, Khaos tried to ambush Garcia the same way he had before. This time, though, Richard was prepared for it, the two men trading blows to a thunderous ovation from the fans right up until Khaos snuck a thumb into Richard's eyes! The cheers quickly turned to jeers as Garcia stumbled back, Khaos quickly taking advantage of the opening with a forearm smash that floored his opponent. The masked man quickly followed up with a flurry of quick and hard-hitting offense that was capped off with Garcia's Worst Nightmare in the form of a Red Arrow leg drop!
The crowd's cheering at Garcia kicking out at two was loud and relieved all at once, the fans not wanting Khaos to come out the victor after getting the advantage unfairly.
Frustration (Or was it happiness?) at Garcia kicking out earned an unsettling sound from Khaos, the possibility to inflict more torment whipping him up into a frenzy that saw those sounds becoming laughs as he dragged Garcia to his feet.... but when he went for the belly-to-belly suplex, Garcia blocked it. Richard also blocked the second attempt and the third, and Khaos's irritation visibly grew until he shoved Richard back. Before Khaos could act on whatever he had in that sick and twisted mind of his, Garcia stopped that train of thought dead in its tracks with a stiff superkick borne of desperation! That proved to be the turning point in the bout, with Richard putting together a string of offense that was punctuated with the Reign of Fire! From there, it was academic as Richard's only pinfall attempt was all the more he needed to clinch his spot in the G1!
DING DING DING
WINNER: RICHARD GARCIA VIA PINFALL
WINNER: RICHARD GARCIA VIA PINFALL
Leurox: Richard Garcia has done it!
Reeve: Indeed he has.... and that win means that he's got the chance to right a lot of past wrongs! A lot of the people he has struggled to overcome in the past have already qualified, and I think that Garcia will be a threat to whichever bracket he winds up in!
Leurox: As for Khaos, I get the feeling that he's going to have his hands full with a certain former hero of the EWC in Leviathan.
Reeve: You think so, too? Regardless, congratulations are in order. Good job, Richard, in earning the chance to make history in the G1!
The cameras cut to a studio space where the two General Managers of BRAWL are sitting beside one another, united in the face of continuing their winning ways in regards to Stable Wars.
"Doc" Hollister: Hello, EWC Universe! This is Victor Price. Some of you may know him. And I am "Doc" Hollister, General Manager of Monday Night BRAWL!
Victor Price: Assistant.
"Doc Hollister: For now.
Victor Price: You'd better watch your tone...
"Doc" Hollister: AND WE ARE HERE... to introduce you to Team BRAWL!
Victor Price: That's right. StableWars is a short fifteen days away and the Main Event will be Team BRAWL versus Team Rampage versus Team Uprising versus Team PRIME!
"Doc" Hollister: And, through much careful deliberation, we have chosen the man who will lead the red brand into StableWars and out with a victory!
Victor Price: Reluctantly, might I add.
"Doc" Hollister: Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you... TEAM BRAWL!
We then see Griffin in a studio on the screen as the crowd is going wild.
Griffin Hawkins: Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a lone wolf. I train alone, I fight alone, I've won matches and titles alone. But for the first time ever, I'm putting my trust in four Brawl Superstars as we go into StableWars. I wasn't here last year when they had this event..this is my first and with the help of these men, we will all show the world what Monday Night Brawl is all about as we win once again. I looked over the roster and I chose my teammates carefully. First choice was Kendrick Kross....second choice...Levathian...third choice, the X-Division Champion Happy..and the final choice, the 2018 Rumble In The Bronx Winner, Dominic Sanders. We are the 5 who represent Brawl going into StableWars, and we are ready to take whatever they can dish out. I respect Rampage, Uprising and Prime..but we're taking the bragging rights home for the second year in a row. Somebody's gonna get rocked.
The cameras cut back to the the Domo Polideportivo Arena.

Stitches grinned maniacally as he stared Jordan Sharpe down. That grin remained as the bell rang and Stitches rushed his opponent with an unnerving howl of a laugh that seemingly echoed throughout the arena. Sharpe matched his steadfast refusal to be intimidated in the promotional videos he exchanged with his opponent, instead rushing forward to stand toe-to-toe with the clown as they exchanged rapid-fire blows in the center of the ring. The pair of wily veterans did their best to find the shot that would give them the advantage, but the other would counter it.... and while the fans loved it? It was clearly wearing on both Stitches and Sharpe, and ultimately the frustration led to Stitches getting the upper hand with a stiff headbutt that made him stumble, but knocked Jordan for far more of a loop. Throwing himself back into the ropes, the clown rebounded with a Lethal Lariat before going for the pin!
Sharpe kicked out at two, Stitches responding with another chilling chortle before he shifted into a dragon sleeper.
The more that Sharpe struggled, the tighter Stitches squeezed.... and it wasn't long before it seemed like Jordan's lights were out. The referee raised Sharpe's hand, and when he released it? It fell to the mat. The second time ended much like the first, Stitches grinning brightly as the ref raised Jordan's hand one more time, fingers hanging limp, but when he let go?
Jordan's hand stayed up, trembling with effort as the crowd cheered!
Sharpe drew upon their newfound support,digging deep and forced himself to his feet, forcing Stitches to a vertical base as well. Sending the clown into the ropes, Stitches found himself taking a Freakin Boot to the face that sent him down to the mat! Capitalizing upon that momentum shift, Sharpe kept the pressure on his opponent, elbow strikes and knee strikes both keeping Stitches on the defensive until a particularly forceful elbow caught the clown square in the temple. Jordan sensed the opportunity to keep his momentum going was at hand, so he locked Stitches up into the Sharpeknife... but Stitches managed to duck free, twisting behind his opponent to hit a hair-pull backbreaker onto his knee! The crowd's enthusiasm at Stitches possibly losing was left with nowhere to go but to deflate like an old balloon as the clown scrambled onto Jordan's back, locking in the Carnival Pretzel. It wasn't too long before self preservation trumped pride and Sharpe tapped out!

WINNER: STITCHES VIA SUBMISSION
WINNER: STITCHES VIA SUBMISSION
Leurox: And Stitches continues to go on his tear through anyone that gets in the ring across from him!
Reeve: Don't sew Sharpe's efforts short, though. There were more than a few occasions where it seemed like he would get the win here tonight! I just hope this doesn't send him off on another losing streak.
Leurox: Somehow, I doubt that's going to be the case. I think that, if anything, he's gonna use this as further motivation to get another shot at Stitches... this time, with gold on the line!
Reeve: We'll see how things go. For now, though, Stitches gets to keep riding high as Television Champion! Who will he defend the belt against first? We'll just have to wait and see!
The MacTron comes to life as AC Delaney's face is suddenly up on it. She smiles and there are a few cheers. She begins to speak.
AC: Ladies and Gentlemen, StableWars is just a few week away, one of EWC Universe's favorite PPVs, and I am pretty fond of it myself. On the last FN'R I announced the first member of Team Rampage, and tonight in just a few minutes we will hear our captain tell us the rest of the team.. But before that, The EWC Tag Titles..
Cheers throughout the various venues.
AC: NSFW has been a great tag team and done the EWC World Tag Team Championships proud, and they need a challenger for StableWars. We went over who should face them, and at the end of the day we settled upon a team that we are sure NSFW did not expect but will get one hell of a fight from.. and that is why, at StableWars 2018 it will be NSFW defending the EWC World Tag Title Titles against, The Eternal Circle's Legion and Vagn Dahl! The fighting champs vs the disciples of chaos... The match should be fantastic! I hope you are all enjoying PRIME #40, and I will let you get back to it now! Thanks everyone! Bye!
The feed cuts to static, with the occasional flash of blinding green. After about 10 seconds, the blinding green stays; as it slowly fades, we see the green is coming from a giant video wall within an otherwise dark studio. Then, after a few seconds of silence, Ace King steps out from behind the wall, the United States Championship draped over his shoulder.
Ace King: Were you expecting someone else?
The words cut through the dead air and Ace calmly makes his way forward, taking a seat in an armchair in the middle of the studio. Ace appears relaxed as a faint green illumination reflects off the championship he's held for over a year now, a thin layer of haze also filling the room.
Ace King: I don't think it's a huge secret that Friday Night Rampage is in my blood.
Ace bows his head gently.
Ace King: I've been here since the moment I put pen to paper on my contract, and where others have come and gone, I haven't wavered. Rampage gave me the opportunity to make something of myself, and I consider it an honour to be Team Rampage's captain at Stable Wars.
To illustrate the point, clips of last year's Brawl vs. Rampage elimination match at Stable Wars play, where 'The Gambler' was the last Rampage team member standing, before surviving the all-Champions Doomsday Cage in the very next match.
Ace King: For far too long, Friday Night Rampage has been viewed as EWC's afterthought. BRAWL's seen as the flagship in EWC, PRIME's the upstart darling on quite the high right now, and FSW: Uprising's where the next generation hone their craft. In a way, Rampage has gotten lost in the shuffle, not important enough for people to care.
His eyes narrow as he slowly leans forward, staring a hole through the camera as he boldly declares.
Ace King: Stable Wars is where that narrative changes.
His tone is glacial, his eyes still piercing as the anger bubbles within. After a few seconds, he closes his eyes and exhales.
Ace King: It wasn't easy, but in putting Team Rampage together, I had things I was looking for. I wanted people who respect this business, people who aren't afraid to let their voices be heard, and most importantly, I wanted people who aren't afraid to stand up for something bigger than themselves.
A number of Ace's Rampage triumphs over the last two years play on the video wall, eventually giving way to a simple graphic.
Ace King: Maggie was part of Team Rampage before I became the captain, but she still fits well within my vision for what Team Rampage should be.
Highlights of Lockheart's various triumphs, including her FSW Championship win at last year's Wrestlefest and being FSW's Sole Survivor against PRIME at last year's Stable Wars, play behind him.
Ace King: She can make a believer out of even the most hardened people, and she doesn't have a limit on how far she'll go.
As he says this, clips of The Future's arrival by way of unbridled destruction on last year's FSW season finale play, with Lockheart serving as the architect.
Ace King: We've certainly had our differences, make no mistake about it," Ace confesses, with footage of their feud and Rage in the Cage match from earlier this year serving as the backdrop. "However, she also lit a fire under me that I didn't realize I needed, and I'm confident she can do the same across the board at Stable Wars. She's got a bright future, and she's been groomed for the big stage.
Ace King: That goes double for Seb. Whether you love him or hate him, the man's shown a killer instinct from the second he signed with EWC, and knowing his style, he'll welcome the chance to prove it again.
As he speaks, a number of Sebastian Conner's career highlights play behind Ace; chief among them, 'The King of the Hunt' is shown emerging victorious in the Wrestlefest Battle Royal from a year ago, as well as his second-place finish in the 2018 Rumble in the Bronx.
Ace King:No matter where he's gone, he's made an immediate impact, and he's never shied away from the spotlight.
Ace says, a hint of acquiescence in his voice as highlights of Sebastian defeating Ace on Rampage #439, following by Conner eliminating Ace in his bid to repeat as Rumble in the Bronx winner.
Ace King:He's a nightmare matchup for anybody in EWC, and it's why I'm happy to have him in green.
Ace King: Now, they're not the only ones on Rampage who offer a... Cause... for concern.
Ace continues with a small smirk.
Ace King: To truly make your mark, you need to find your voice quickly. Not many have done that better than, or as quickly as, the Real Rebel Child.
On cue, a montage of Georgie Nickles' impressive start in EWC plays, combined with her achievements around the wrestling world prior to her EWC debut.
Ace King: She's a special breed, and she's not afraid to make people take notice.
he says as highlights of the Ladder Match at Hardcore Revolution between Ace and Georgie play, followed by the mutual sign of respect afterward.
Ace King:A generational talent who knows what it means to do things right, and stays committed to the task at hand.
A montage of some of Georgie's biggest spots in EWC plays rapidly in the background.
Ace King: Put anybody in EWC in front of her. She'll dig deep to take them down, and she'll do it without compromising her beliefs and values.
Ace King: Three safe picks, for sure, but would I really be a Gambler if I didn't add a wild card?"
After a slight delay on the video wall, a montage of Shelley Silver's career accomplishments finally appear in the background. Ace smirks.
Ace King: Now, a lot of people will question this pick, or dismiss it as personal. Hell, I'll get that from my own teammates, but here's the thing: Very few people in EWC know Shelley Silver, the wrestler, as I do."
Silver's two United States Championship reigns are highlighted, along with her victory over Olivia Saint in an I Quit Match at last year's Wrestlefest.
Ace King: For all my espousing about loyalty to Rampage, she's flown the green flag longer than me, and she's endured a lot worse. She's proven herself as a fighter many times over, and like the rest of Team Rampage, she's not afraid to speak her mind, and she will do ANYTHING to win.
Highlights of Silver's appearance in last year's Stable Wars elimination match play, including memorably sinking her teeth into Hayden Cambric below the belt.
Ace King: Let me make this clear: I'm not picking Shelley Silver, my future wife.
Ace growls, his eyes blazing.
Ace King: I'm picking Shelley Silver, someone who's always ready to fight.
Ace slowly rises from his chair as the graphic showing the final makeup of Team Rampage appears on the screen.
As the graphic slowly fades out, a green spotlight washes over Ace as he bows his head.
Ace King: There you have it, Rampage's cards are on the table. No longer will be the 'struggling brand' nobody gives a second thought to. I might be the captain, but success won't be dependent upon one person. It's going to take a team effort... It's going to take us coming together as a collective... It's about five us finding ONE VOICE, and boldly declaring that...
At this point, four more green spotlights spring to life, two on either side of Ace, illuminating from left, Georgie Nickles, Magdalena Lockheart, Sebastian Conner, and Shelley Silver, as they all look directly into the camera.
"WE ARE... Rampage."

CARLOS RUIZ Vs
CANDY
Live from the Siemens Arena in Vilnius, Lithuania
SATURDAY- PRE-RECORDING
DING DING DING
Two huge fan favorites squared off in the Siemens Arena. Candy, seemingly unstoppable Undisputed and Indy champion, locked up with former Tag Team Champion and premier athlete Carlos Ruiz. Early on the man from Spain used his size advantage to keep the high flying superstar grounded with arm drags and headlock takeovers. In an amazing sequence, Candy knocked Carlos off the perch from a superplex attempt with a few well placed forearms. She flew off the top rope with a hurricanrana but Carlos caught her and planted her in the middle of the ring with a powerbomb.
It didn’t stop there. Carlos held on and twisted Candy into the Cangrejo Espanol. It seemed hopeless for the double champion but inch by inch she crawled towards the bottom of the rope. She was inches away from latching onto the rope before Carlos smartly dragged her back into the middle of the ring and sat back down. There seemed like there was no choice for Candy but to submit but she wouldn’t be where she was now if she didn’t have the will and determination to continue the fight.
Somehow someway Candy tripped up Carlos with a drop toe hold. Carlos tried to reassert control but jaw-jacked with the CCR followed up quickly with a Candy Blast for a two count. The momentum swung into Candy’s advantage and she started to show Ruiz just why she’s champion. She flipped out of a full nelson suplex and flattened Carlos with a bulldog. Right after she went for the Sugar High but Carlos moves out of the way from the 450 degree splash. Carlos tried to take advantage of that miscalculation by showing him his Spanish Eyes but Candy ducked under the superkick, spun him around and put him away with the Candy Crusher!
DING DING DING
WINNER: CANDY VIA PINFALL
WINNER: CANDY VIA PINFALL
Leurox: Carlos was game, but it seems like no one can stop Candy's momentum!
Reeve: That was an incredible display of respect, a clean contest that seems all too rare anymore... and the handshake going on in the ring right now is only further proof of that!
Leurox: Indeed it is! It makes me wonder, though, just who is going to finally be able to conquer the Candy Castle.
Reeve: Dominic Sanders has to be watching this match closely tonight if he wants to be the one to pull it off. Will he succeed? We'll find out at Wrestlefest!
From the backstage area of the Singapore Indoor Stadium, Nevaeh is seen standing in front of the camera. Judging by the expression on her face, she isn’t that happy.
Nevaeh: So I wasn’t chosen for Team Prime at StableWars. Gotta tell ya, that bothers me quite a bit considering I took part of the very first show and here I still stand today. But I promise to show Candy the error of her ways when I take on both Killjoy and El Pablo in the Main Event.
Nev licks her lips.
Nevaeh: That’s right, boys. As if I didn’t have plans to take you down already, I’m that much more motivated to do so now. You’re in for a rough night. The way I see it, you’ll be lucky to make StableWars at all. Who knows, maybe I’ll even be named one of your replacements.
Nev shrugs.
Nevaeh: Either way, I’m coming to win this match. So I hope you’re prepared to ‘Fall From Grace’...because one of your shoulders are being put to the mat tonight!
Cameras fade on her deadly stare.
SINGLES MATCH
<<TRIPLE THREAT>>
KILLJOY ITO Vs
EL PABLO Vs
NEVAEH
Leurox: Alright, welcome back, and it’s time for tonight’s main event.
Reeve: This is gonna’ be a good one. Three of Prime’s finest, who have qualified for the G1 Classic are going to put on a showcase of the level of talent that you can expect while watching the tournament.
Leurox: That’s for sure. If we can keep Tommy Love from ruining things too badly, we might even have a competitive match!
Reeve: I mean, Nevaeh is involved. Plus it’s no disqualifications, since it’s a triple threat. I’m not holding my breath on this being competitive. Fierce? Brutal? Yes. Competitive? I mean, it will be hard to win?
The camera cuts to Damon Reid in the ring.
Reed: The following contest is a triple threat match, and it is scheduled for one fall!
Once "Gasoline" by Porcelain and the Tramps is heard, Nevaeh comes walking out from the back to a chorus of boos. But judging by the smile on her face she doesn't seem to mind. As she makes her way down the aisle, Nevaeh does her best not to let anyone touch her long the way.
Reid: Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 124 pounds, this is...NEEEEAVEAHHHHHH!"
After walking up on the ring apron, Nevaeh will strike a pose and give her backside a little shake before stepping between the ropes. Once inside, she'll mouth off to the fans and pace the ring a bit as she waits for the match to begin.
Leurox: Nevaeh had some strong words for Killjoy and his manager this week, Nessa.
Reeve: I’m no fan of Nevaeh’s, but I won’t pretend that I don’t want to see her get one up on Tommy Love. That camp seem to be going out of their way to be unpleasant lately.
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.
Reid: Her opponents, first, from Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 235 pounds, “The Young Lion”...Killjoy Ito!
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.
Leurox: While Nevaeh had words for Ito and Love, Tommy Love saved his strongest words for our Prime co-general managers.
Reeve: Not the smartest thing he’s ever done, but Tommy Love has never been known for being the smartest. Conniving, ruthless, and manipulative, but not necessarily bright.
Leurox: This no-DQ environment definitely favors him, though. Nevaeh and El Pablo are going to have to watch their backs, and possibly each other’s backs, if they want to get out of this one with a win.
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.
Reid: And their 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.
Leurox: El Pablo seems like he’s in a good mood, pandering to the fans as normal, but he’s got to have other things on his mind.
Reeve: You mean the fact that he’s up against two of the best in the independent circuit?
Leurox: That also, but I meant the part where his brother Xavier Reed has explicitly stated that he has it out for him if they get grouped together.
Reeve: Also true. If I had a former FSW Champion after me, I’d be a little worried.
Senior official Niklaus Forbes is on duty for this match, to no one’s surprise. He can’t do much, but he makes sure that everybody is set for action, and that Tommy is safely down on the floor at ringside, before signaling for the bell.
DING DING DING
The instant that the bell rings, Nevaeh rushes Killjoy, throwing wild right hands at him. He weathers several strikes before shoving her away, at which point Nevaeh spins around and launches a spinning back fist up at Killjoy’s jaw, a blow he blocks with his right arm before winding up for his own spinning back fist, which Nevaeh ducks under. She then charges Ito and wraps her arms around his waist, trying to shove him back into the corner. She succeeds in getting him there, but when she pulls back to hit him with a shoulder thrust, Ito raises a knee and blasts her in the face. Killjoy sets himself to pursue, but is suddenly thrust back into the corner again, this time by a flying body splash from El Pablo! The crowd cheers in time with Killjoy’s cry of pain, and Pablo sets to work with right hands. He looks like he’s going to try to set Killjoy up for something bigger, but Nevaeh yanks him out of the corner from behind. Pablo whirls, assuming he’s under attack, but as he launches a sloppy haymaker, Nevaeh ducks under it, but rather than attack him, she rushes past him with a shoulder thrust into Killjoy! The crowd cheers as Tommy Love howls at her, and his fury only grows when Nevaeh steps to the side, grabbing the top rope and shoving her foot up against Ito’s throat. The referee tries to persuade Nevaeh to let Ito out of the corner, but with no disqualifications, all he can do is chide, and Nevaeh doesn’t listen to chiding.
After several seconds of struggling, including Ito kicking out at Nevaeh, hoping to kick her planted leg out from under her, Pablo steps in and pulls her off. Nevaeh rounds on Pablo, definitely trying to level him with a backfist. She nails him, causing Pablo to stagger back, but she tries to press the attack on Killjoy, but he has enough of his wits to intercept her and nail a double boot to the face as she charges in. Killjoy drops Nevaeh with a clothesline and sees Pablo also reeling, but when he charges for a clothesline on him, Pablo ducks and winds his way up and around Killjoy, ending in a big headscissors takedown! Pablo goes for a cover.
1...
Kickout!
Leurox: I don’t think anyone’s surprised that didn’t work, but Pablo coming out ahead in that opening exchange!
Reeve: Which may or may not be because Nevaeh went right to Killjoy as soon as it was legal to attack him.
Pablo stands up and starts marching around the ring, signaling to the crowd to get them amped. As they are cheering and clapping and stomping, he walks over to the now stirring Killjoy and helps him the rest of the way up. He nails a few right hands to keep Killjoy battered and stunned, then he runs against the ropes, but as he bounces back, Nevaeh comes out of nowhere and leaps onto him with a Lou Thesz press! The crowd boos as Nevaeh sets to work lifting Pablo’s head up a bit by the neck before shoving it back down again! She does this several more times, with Forbes unable to do more than whine at her, but before Pablo’s skull becomes mush, Killjoy wraps his arms around her waist to lift her off. When upright again Killjoy laces his arms into Nevaeh’s before hauling her over his head with a Tiger suplex! He bridges after impact, forcing the count as Nevaeh lies folded up on herself.

Nevaeh kicks out! The crowd is murmuring, a lot of them with eyes on Pablo as he lies beneath the bottom rope, arms up around his head to massage and cradle his neck.
Leurox: Nevaeh showing her mean streak there on El Pablo. She should be more careful if she wants to make it out of Singapore without getting shivved.
Reeve: Call me crazy, but I don’t think that’s what she’s thinking about at the moment.
What she’s thinking about is almost certainly the Japanese man twice her size that has mounted her and started blasting away at her with grounded punches. After several seconds of getting boos rained down on him, Killjoy stands up, arms out as he taunts the crowd. He then bends down, grabbing Nevaeh by the head to pull her up to her feet. She tries to fight out of his grip, but Killjoy kicks her in the stomach to put a stop to that. He then pulls her in for a powerbomb. He smirks at the crowd, then lifts her up in the powerbomb position. He hoists her up for extra damage, but at that moment, Nevaeh bursts up as well and uses the momentum to slip from his grip and land on his shoulders behind his head and neck. This is a precarious position, but she hooks her legs under Killjoy’s arms and dives for the ropes, which she gets to, grabbing onto the top rope and pulling Ito over so she can drape herself over the ropes, grabbing Ito’s legs and pulling them up, locking Ito in a Tarantula! Ito cries out in pain as Nevaeh has him All Tied Up, prompting Tommy Love to come over and brandish the Love Stick at her. She stares right at him, upside down, which gives him a bit of pause. That moment is long enough for Nevaeh to hold Ito in place for Pablo to hit a rope-run dropkick to his exposed chest! The crowd cheers at the impact, which is enough to force Ito’s body to buckle hard enough that Nevaeh loses her grip before Tommy Love can find his resolve. Nevaeh winks at Tommy, then reaches out and snatches the Love Stick from him! She then rolls into the ring and stands up, intending to use the Love Stick on Pablo, but as she swings at him, he ducks under it and springboards off the ropes before leaping backwards at Nevaeh, who whirls around racquet first and blasts Pablo in the face! The crowd hurls abuse at Nevaeh, but she just turns a cheeky grin to them, then to Tommy Love who looks on in horror as she tosses him back his now very bent tennis racquet.
Leurox: That was a sickening blow from that racquet!
Reeve: What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, though you wouldn’t be able to tell it on Tommy Love’s face. I think his jaw would be on the floor if it weren’t attached!
There is a trickle of blood appearing on Pablo’s face as Nevaeh turns her attention once again to Ito, who is curled up in the fetal position on the canvas, clutching his chest. She tries to pull his legs out, but as they straighten, Killjoy starts to realize where he is, and he struggles against her wishes. When he realizes she’s trying to lock him up in her patented submission hold, the struggling becomes frantic, and he shoves Nevaeh off of him. He scrambles to his feet as Nevaeh reels back and comes back. As she rushes in to press the advantage, Killjoy catches her and wraps his arms around her neck in a rear naked choke! Nevaeh is the one struggling now as she tries to escape, but Killjoy is too strong as he starts to drag her down to the canvas.
Leurox: Killjoy trying to lock Nevaeh in the Long Goodnight!
Reeve: If he gets the leg scissor, as small as she is, I feel like this one’s academic.
He has Nevaeh down but not wrapped up yet. He makes a final effort to drop into position and lace his legs around her, but at the very moment that he gets the full submission hold in, Pablo has found his Pocket Skittles. He slams a handful down and kips up, raring for a fight. When he sees that the match is moments from ending, he uses that energy to run the ropes before nailing Killjoy square in the face with a basement dropkick! This breaks the hold and lets Nevaeh roll away. However, she is not spared his fury, as he rushes over and hits a running Shooting Star Press! The crowd cheers as he sticks the landing for a pin attempt!

Ito summons enough wherewithal to lunge at Pablo to break the count! The crowd boos, then cheers Pablo’s flurry of offense. El Pablo shoots to his feet, ready to dish out some more punishment, but then he wavers, the sugar crash coming. He points his body at Ito and manages a falling headbutt to his shoulder, and suddenly all three competitors are down!
Leurox: Not the usual use of the Skittles there, but I’m sure Pablo was glad to have them all the same.
Reeve: Nevaeh is quantifiable as one of Prime’s toughest wrestlers, but I don’t know how she could have gotten out of the Long Goodnight without help.
The first to stir is actually Nevaeh, having had the longest to rest without getting assaulted. She starts pulling herself up with the ropes just as the guys are starting to move. She pulls herself up, but just watches as they struggle up to their feet. As soon as he has enough of his legs under him to move, Killjoy barrels back into the ropes for momentum before bounding towards El Pablo, clearly going for the Kill Shot knee strike, but El Pablo intercepts him, leaping up, wrapping his legs around Killjoy’s neck and pulling him over in the frankensteiner facebuster! The crowd roars as he makes Killjoy Taste the Rainbow, but before he can capitalize, Nevaeh pounces, grabbing El Pablo from behind and quickly pulling his neck down across her knee! The crowd boos as Killjoy rolls out of the ring holding his face and neck, leaving the way clear for Pablo’s Fall From Grace, and the subsequent pinfall!

DING DING DING
The crowd howls with boos as “Gasoline” starts playing over the speaker systems.
Reid: Here is your winner, Nevaeh!
Nevaeh rolls out of the ring after getting the pin and leans against the apron for a bit as she raises her arms in triumph, soaking in more boos as Killjoy starts to come to on the outside of the ring, with Tommy Love’s help. Nevaeh starts backing up the ramp, looking at her handiwork inside the ring, as El Pablo is just starting to stir again.
Leurox: That was a tough one, Nessa, but Nevaeh picked her spot and slipped out of Singapore with a win.
Reeve: That’s clever and all, but that’s not going to help her when it comes to winning matches in the G1. She’ll have to face a single opponent down, and the only way she’ll be able to sneak something in is if she’s already made them loopy enough to let her do what she wants. And at that point, why not just pin?
Nevaeh has gotten up to the stage as El Pablo shakes some cobwebs out, starting to push himself up to his feet. But as soon as he’s there, he’s staring down the pair of Tommy Love and Killjoy Ito, who are not happy about how the match ended. El Pablo groans, then shrugs, at which point Killjoy jabs a finger into Pablo’s chest. Tommy Love is not micced, so it’s hard to tell what he’s saying to El Pablo, but it’s obviously not commiserations.
El Pablo shakes his head and bats the finger away, at which point Killjoy shoves him roughly back into the ropes. The crowd is howling with fury at Killjoy, whose face is twisted with anger as he pokes the finger into El Pablo’s chest again, while Tommy shouts about costing them the match.
Leurox: Tommy knows this was a triple threat, right? Every person for themselves. This isn’t Stablewars yet.
Reeve: And if things don’t cool down quick, neither El Pablo nor Killjoy are going to make it to Stablewars!
El Pablo responds to getting poked again by shoving back, earning cheers in the process as well as a stunned and indignant expression from Killjoy. Just when it seems like things are going to come to blows, the Undisputed Indy Champion rushes down to the ring with unmarked plastic bags in each hand.
Leurox: Here comes Prime Captain Candy to defuse the situation, I hope.
Reeve: This is not the sort of thing that needs to be happening just before the big brand showdown, and obviously Candy agrees!
Candy slides into the ring and steps between El Pablo and Killjoy. She raises her hands, still clutching the candy, and offers them to her teammates. El Pablo immediately calms down, smiling and reaching out for a bag, whereas Killjoy and Tommy are more reticent. But they’re not spoiling for a fight, which Candy considers an improvement, reinforced by a smiling nod in their direction.
Leurox: It seems Candy has brought an uneasy peace to Team Prime for the moment, but it will be interesting to see how these two co-exist at Stablewars.
Reeve: And, survival withstanding, how they fare in the G1!
Leurox: Right. But that’s about all the time we have for, so this is it from me and Nessa. Be sure to catch Stablewars two weeks from tomorrow, where hopefully even more accolades are coming home to the Indy Darlings!
Reeve: We can’t call them that. Also, after you’ve caught Stablewars, the next Sunday is the Prime season finale! I promise, you won’t want to miss it. See you then!
The scene lingers on El Pablo tearing into the bag of candy while Candy herself tries to mollify Killjoy and Tommy with sweets of her own. It is here that the scene fades to black.
