Ruby and Aimee Clifton are on their way to the ring as Brian Spades steps in front of them. Ruby rolls her eyes as Aimee is looking at Brian.

Aimee: Can you see that we are busy?

Spades: I know. Everyone is wondering, how can you defeat NSFW?

Ruby looks at Brian. She doesn't to be very thrilled.

Ruby: NSFW have had their time in the sun. It's our time and we will take those tag straps. Now if you don't mind. We got two asses to kick.

Ruby and Aimee continue heading towards the ring.

TAG MATCH
For the EWC Tag Team Championships

The Clifton Sisters
VS NSFW

---

---

Aiello: Ladies and Gentlemen, New York always seems to inspire the best. And tonight we start the march towards a new number one contender for the Undisputed Championship. But not only that, we have three championship bouts. We’re gonna start Monday Night Brawl with the Clifton Sisters getting their chance to become the Tag Team Champions!

Bennett: I can only hope.

Carter: NSFW makes you seethe, don’t they, Bennett?

Stroup: The opening contest for Monday Night Brawl is a tag team match and will be for the TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Tan lights start to float around the arena as "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran bursts through the speakers. Aimee and Ruby step through the curtains to a loud negative reaction. They have smiles on their faces while glaring at the crowd.

Stroup: First, the challengers, weighing in at combined 258 pounds, Aimie and Ruby, THE CLIFTON SISTERS!

They slowly walk down the ramp while listening to the boos. Ruby hops up onto the ring apron as Aimee slides into the ring. Ruby leaps over the ropes and smirks while fist bumping with her sister.

Aiello: The Family has been popping up all over the place as of late. Jon Spartan saw something in these two even in defeat because they have an opportunity to soar to the top.

Bennett: Please.

Carter: These two espicially could really end up being something. Not a fan of their attitudes and while they were overzealous in their debut, they looked strong in that downfall.

Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion begins to play and the house lights flash along with the beat of the song.

Mike McGuire and Bishop Church step out onto the stage. Mike points out for Bishop various fan signs for them. Side by side, they make their way down to the ring.

Stroup: Now on their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 400 pounds, [EWC TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS] Mike McGuire and Bishop Church, N ...S ...F ...W!

Mike is in the ring bouncing back and forth to either side of the ring multiple times before John finally climbs up the ring steps. They meet in the middle of the ring and look to the crowd. With Bishop two steps behind, they both pose by standing on the second rope each with their titles raised in the air.

Bennett: These two make me sick.

Carter: You can’t even do your job with these two around.

Aiello: That’s alright. Maybe we can get a 2-man booth going. Anyway, NSFW has thrown down the gauntlet and tonight marks their first open challenge.

Bennett: And hopefully their last.

Before the official can even ring the bell, Mike and Aimee make themselves the starters of the match by confronted each other and immediately trading blows.

DING DING DING

While Aimee is far from the brawler Mike is, her strength advantage allows her to hold her own. Mike battles her into a neutral corner and then lands three heavy body blows before going for what could been a knockout punch right there and then - but Aimee blocks that one. She slings Mike in the corner and lines her for a reverse elbow to the side of the head. With Mike staggered, Aimee grabs Mike by the straps of her tank top and yeets her half away across the ring! Mike is able to get to her feet quickly only for Aimee to run her through with a clothesline. She reaches in and tags in her sister Ruby. Ruby springboards from the top rope and catches the bronx brawler with a dropkick that sends her reeling. Ruby tags in Aimee to keep the heat on. The two step into the ring.

The younger sister dodges a left hand hook from Mike. Aimee with a kick to the midsection. They look at each and nod - sharing their malicious intent. They join up in a front face lock …

Aiello: Wow. The challengers are looking to end this one early. It’s lights out if they show their Blood Bond here.

Bennett: Come on, take them out!

Bishop is halfway into the ring when the referee cuts him off. Mike, out of desperation, gets sneaky, snakes out of the facelock and surprises the Sisters with a double low blow!

Bennett: That ginger witch just punched the Sisters in the nuts.

Carter: So much wrong with that statement.

Bennett: You never know! It’s 2019, you backwards son of a bitch!

Aiello: Mike McGuire has never said she wasn’t one to cut corners. I mean, how else are you supposed to fight out a double team past its time limit.

Mike dumps Ruby headfirst out of the ring through the second and third ropes. Aimee, somewhere recovered, spins Mike around from the shoulder only for Mike to stagger her with a sitout jawbreaker. She shoves Aimee into the NSFW corner and tags in the big man. Mike whips the powerhouse of the corner right into the clutches of Church who repays the throw with a huge overhead belly to belly suplex. Ruby, by this time, tags herself in. She charges at Bishop and he sidesteps and wraps around her with a reverse waistlock. Right into a back to belly suplex. Ruby flips through the suplex attempt and lands on her feet. She then surprises Church with a schoolboy roll up!





1






Church breaks free at 1 and rolls to his feet only to be cut off by a roundhouse kick from Ruby Clifton. With a big of struggle, Ruby drags Church closer to her corner within reach to tag in her powerful sister. Church, on a knee, is immediately taken back down with stereo superkicks. Aimee with a tight lateral press.

2









Church kicks out!

Aiello: The Clifton Sisters are putting up a good fight. Just what NSFW asked for but looking at it so far, the sisters may have their number here.

Bennett: I knew it!

Carter: I admire their tenacity but NSFW has been in this predicament before.

As Bishop Church struggles to get his whereabouts, the Sisters collaboration once more. Aimee tags in Ruby. Aimee cuts off Church tagging in Mike with a knee to the midsection and then Clifton Sisters send Church Into The Garrison!!

Ruby with the cover!

2









Church rolls his shoulder up just barely. Mike bounces up and down, willing her partner on. Church rolls over onto his stomach, crawling inch by inch to tag Mike in. Looking to blindside her, Aimee sneaks around the ringside area but Mike sniffs it out. When Aimee grabs onto her leg, she kicks free and punts Aimee in the face. Ruby has Church by the leg, impeding his progress. Church rolls onto his back and kicks at Aimee, staggering her, just allowing for him turn back over and tag in Mike!

Carter: Here we go!!

Bennett: No!!

Aiello: Mike is wound up and looking for a fight right now and so far it's been abrupt and violent. Just like how NSFW likes it.

Mike dodges a superkick from Ruby, spins her around, and plants her with the Rubbernecker! Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Aimee getting back onto the ring apron only for Church to join her on the apron. He blocks a punch, knee to the midsection and on then vertical suplexes her onto the hard part of the apron!!!

Church collapses to the outside of the ring from the impact.

Carter: Holy shit!!!

The brief distraction allows for Ruby to grab Mike from behind another quick roll up!

Mike pushes her off into the ropes, as she comes back, Mike pops Ruby into the air after an attempted leg lariat and when she comws down, Mike KNOCKS HER FOR 6!! She falls on top on Ruby Clifton!

3!!!

DING DING DING

Stroup: The winner of this match via pinfall and still EWC TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, NSFW!!

Mike, grabs the tag belts from the official, and immediately dips to the outside to check on Church. Out of breath, and probably sore, he nods as he accepts on of the belts to raise in the air as the crowd cheers.

Aiello: NSFW makes a statement by retaining against a very strong challenger in the Clifton Sisters. Got a feeling we may see them again soon.

Bennett: I guess there is always next week.

Carter: Maybe not for what you want, but that is exactly what Jon Spartan promised NSFW. They will defend these titles as much as they can take it here on Monday Night Brawl!

The Clifton Sisters collect themselves in the ring and they are not too happy about coming up short in their challenge. They have unmistakable scowls that give the message that they will be back for those belts. Brawl goes to commercial break.

We move to a commercial break.

The feed drops over to backstage. We see FSW's Gabrielle Visconty walking into the building. Gabi is still dressed in her street clothes, duffle bag slung over her shoulder. She has her signature Gabi Vee ball cap on backwards with her now pink hair streaming out of the back. Gabi appears to be focused on a document she is reading.

Aiello: It looks like Gabrielle Visconty is in the building.

Bennet: What amazing powers of observation you have.

Carter: She seems very interested in what she's reading.

Gabi grins broadly as she looks up from the document.

Gabi Vee: This is going to be good.

Gabi chuckles to herself as she pushes past the camera.

Carter: I wonder what that is all about?

Bennet: I sent her my cell number. See the smile on her face?

Aiello: Oh Lord...

SINGLES MATCH
Winner moves forward in the Undisputed Championship Contender tournament

Emma Louise
VS AOP aka Arsenal

---

---

Aiello: Welcome back to Madison Square Garden, folks! It's time for the first match in the tournament to decide the Number One Contender to Dominic Sanders' Undisputed Championship!

Carter: And it should be a good match! Emma Louise takes on AOP, also known as Arsenal!

Bennett: Really?

Carter: ...yes?

Bennett: How... how did Emma Louise get her ass in this tournament?

Aiello: She's done a lot for this company for a long time, Steve.

Bennett: So have I, but you don't see my ass in there. Hell, I'd win the sumbitch. Emma Louise? I don't mind the girl. She's got a spunky attitude but she ain't gonna win a damn thing.

Carter: Well, Steve, that remains to be seen when these two step into the squared circle right now.

Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a first round contest in the tournament to determine the Number One Contender for the EWC Undisputed Championship!

The arena goes dark. "Attack On Titan Opening (Hip Hop Remix)" by SparX Beats starts to play. The spotlight focuses on the top of them ramp. A hooded figure steps out into the spot light. He throws his hood off of his head. As he does this the pyro's hit and the lights go up. He is wearing dark sunglasses and a hat on his head that reads #TrustMyProcess.

Stroup: Now making his way to the ring. Weighing in at 290 lbs, From Lexington, KY, The man who wants you to Trust His Process, AOP aka Arsenal!!!!!

AOP walks down the ramp glaring at the fans. One younger fan reaches out for a high five, AOP just stares him down and continues walking to the ramp to a chorus of boo's. When he reaches the end of the ramp he stands in front of the ring. He jumps up on to the apron as more pyro's shoot off and enters the ring. He walks to the first turnbuckle in the ring and holds his hands up. As the chorus of boo's continue, he hears some cheers close to ringside. He takes his hat off and tosses it towards those fans that are cheering for him.

Aiello: Arsenal was impressive two weeks ago in his debut match in Philadelphia.

Carter: He absolutely dominated Nathan Quinn and Kenneth Williams.

Bennett: This sumbitch is real, right here. He took those two to the woodshed and we haven't seen them since.

Carter: You're right about that, Steve. This guy is tough and it's going to be a tough road for Emma Louise here tonight.

"Neo Geo" plays and Emma Louise dances through the curtain. She walks, half dancing to the ring, keeping her focus as she goes before slipping feet first through the ropes like an envelope before laying suggestively over the top rope.

Stroup: And his opponent... from London, England... EMMAAAAA LOOOOUIIIISE!

Aiello: Emma has changed her composure lately. She's been more focused and determined than we have seen in a long time.

Bennett: And she continues to lose. And she will tonight, mark my words!

DING DING DING

Emma circles around AOP, who stands in the middle of the ring just watching her. Emma makes a quick move at AOP’s leg, who steps out of the way. Emma steps back and continues to circle AOP as she takes a deep breath. Emma finally runs at AOP, who lunges at her. She drops down and slides between his legs. Emma pops up to her feet quickly and jumps on AOP’s back with a sleeperhold. AOP swings his arms violently, trying to grab at her legs. She keeps the hold applied as she is up high on his back. AOP reaches up and grabs Emma by the hair and rips her over his head and onto the mat. AOP leans over to grab Emma, but Emma grabs ahold of AOP’s arm and uses his body to kip up onto her feet. She spins around to AOP’s back and puts him in a full-nelson. Emma tries to lift AOP for the En-Emma, but his size is too much for her to get off of the ground. AOP uses his strength to break the full-nelson. He spins around and receives a kick to the gut. Emma drives AOP into the mat with a DDT! She covers.

2

Kickout with authority by AOP.

Aiello: Emma Louise has started out hot here tonight.

Carter: If she wants to beat this man, who obviously has a size and strength advantage, she needs to use her quickness. So far, she’s done just that.

Bennett: As if that is going to last.

Emma is quick to her feet and begins planting stomps to the upper back of AOP as he pushes his way to his feet. AOP finally gets to his feet, but Emma stays on the attack with a double-axe handle to the shoulderblades of the bigger competitor. Emma drives her shoulder into AOP’s stomach and drives him back into the ropes. Emma grabs one arm and drapes it over the top rope. She grabs the other and does the same. Emma runs and bounces off of the opposite side of the ring and then baseball slides through AOP’s legs onto the apron, grabbing ahold of the bottom rope to keep herself from exiting the ring completely. Emma leaps up to her feet and uses all of her weight to grab both of AOP’s arms and tangle them up with the top and middle ropes.

Carter: Emma Louise has AOP in a bad position here.

Aiello: AOP’s arms are tangled in the ropes and Emma Louise has some ideas here, guys.

Emma climbs back into the ring and kicks AOP right in the jaw, who is unable to shield the blow. Emma runs and sprints off of the opposite ropes. When she returns, she leaps up and drives a right knee into the temple of AOP, whose head slumps over while still tangled in the ropes.

Aiello: Arsenal may be out cold!

Carter: Emma Louise connected perfectly with that knee!

Bennett: This damn girl is showing some guts tonight! I’ll give her that!

Emma gets back to her feet and sprints across the ring again. This time, as she returns, AOP gets himself untangled and snatches a leaping Emma Louise out of the air. He lifts her high in the air and ejects her over the top rope with a huge belly-to-belly suplex.

Bennett: Well, there goes that.

Aiello: Huge counter by AOP. Emma had some serious momentum going, guys.

Carter: And that momentum was halted on the spot.

AOP sprints across the ring himself, this time, and on the return nails Emma Louise with a suicide dive as she gets to her feet. AOP gets up to his feet and grabs Emma by the hair. He slings her towards the ring steps and she slams hard into them, causing them to tumble over. The referee leans over the ropes and warns AOP to get back into the ring, but he just ignores the warnings. AOP picks Emma Louise up and walks her over to the ringside barricade. He lifts her up and drops her throat first onto the barricade. Emma rolls around on the ground holding her throat as AOP gets up and looks out into the booing New York crowd.

Carter: AOP has taken complete control of this match.

Bennett: And he’s been cutthroat in the process!

Carter: Pun intended?

Bennett: Of course you sumbitch!

The referee’s count is at seven now. AOP picks Emma Louise up off of the ground and rolls her into the ring. AOP climbs up onto the ring apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Emma gets up to her feet and runs and climbs up the turnbuckles, looking for a superplex on the big man. AOP blocks it and shoves Emma off and onto her back in the middle of the ring. AOP steadies himself and leaps off, splashing Emma Louise from the top rope! The referee counts as AOP stays on top.

2

THR-NO! Emma gets a shoulder up!

Aiello: I don’t know how, but Emma Louise is still in this!

Carter: Two hundred and ninety pounds squashing Emma Louise!

Bennett: She’s flat as a damn pancake now!

AOP gets up off of Emma and signals for the end. He leans over and grabs Emma, picking her up off of the ground. He lifts Emma off of the ground onto his shoulders, looking for Trust My Process! Emma wiggles out and lands on her feet. Emma grabs AOP and puts him in the HLA! AOP manages to grab the middle rope, however, and Emma is forced to break the hold. Emma grabs AOP by the wrist and Irish-whips him to the opposite ropes. He bounces off and ducks under a clothesline attempt by Emma Louise. He bounces off of the ropes again. Emma turns around. TITAN ATTACK! NO! Emma side-steps the spear attempt. AOP stumbles into the ropes and turns around. Emma drives a knee into AOP’s face. AOP drops to his knees. Emma locks in the HLA in the middle of the ring!

Aiello: HLA! And this time AOP is in the middle of the ring!

AOP fights to try and stay in it. The referee asks if he gives up. He says no. He is beginning to fade. Emma Louise locks the hold in tighter. The referee grabs AOP’s wrist. It drops. The referee checks a second time. It goes limp again! A third time? It’s over! AOP’s wrist drops a third time and the bell rings!

DING DING DING

Stroup: Here is your winner... EMMA LOOOUISE!

Aiello: Emma Louise is victorious!

Carter: And she will move on into the next round of the Number One Contender's Tournament!

Aiello: What a match! Folks, when we return from this break we've got number two of three in this tournament here tonight. Kendrick Kross! Darius! They are next!



We move to a commercial break.

Lynx Boyd can be seen sitting on a stack of wooden crates. Her hair is tied up in a ponytail. Her eyes were fixated on the worker bees in the back. Her lips were half curled up as her arms were crossed in front of her chest.

Boyd: My debut happens next week. I know everyone is dying to see what Lynx Boyd can bring. They are hoping for the same excitement my siblings have created.

She tilts her head back a bit while closing her eyes.

Boyd: Monday Night Brawl has become my personal hunting ground. My sisters are fellow hunters. We never let anyone tell us different. I will conquer Brawl then I will take ownership of the X-Division. Which will be renamed to the Lynx division. 

Lynx tilts her head back down, opens her eyes slightly and smirks. The camera starts fading as she lets out a sinister laugh.

The camera cuts to the backstage area but there is no one there. After a few moments, Darius paces into the frame, talking on the phone, and seeming to not notice the camera facing him.

Darius: I just … Would you … Okay, well … Would you shut the fu -

Darius looks out of the corner of his eye and grits his teeth.

Darius:- uuuuudge … Up. Look, I gotta’ go, doc. I’ll call you back later.

Darius ends the call and tosses his phone off to the side, adjusts his jacket, then approaches the camera with a smile.

Darius: Sorry about that, just some personal business. I’ll be honest with you, I forgot I had set this little session up today! I’ve had a lot happening this past week, I’m sure you’ve heard; I’m part of the tournament to crown the new number one contender for the EWC Undisputed Championship! I must be doing something right around here, I’ve had two matches so far and I’m already earning my way to the gold.

Hell, that wasn’t even my original intention but like I said before, the competition so far hasn’t been all too great, I need something more, so maybe taking out the champ himself is all I need. I just need to get through a few people first, starting with Kevin Kross … Wait.

Darius scratches his head and puts a confused look on his face.

Darius: That doesn’t sound right … Kent Kross? Keith Kross? Ahh, screw it.

Darius looks at the palm of his hand, smirks, then facepalms.

Darius: KENDRICK. Kendrick Kross, also known as “Agent K2” … Whatever the hell that means. I’ll be real with y’all, this guy has gotten around. Did you know he was the EWC TV Champion twice … I would love to say that being champion twice is impressive but ...

Darius’ smirk turns to a disappointed frown as he shrugs.

Darius: Three weeks. You held that championship for three weeks; twenty-one days between two championship runs. Sure, you have accolades elsewhere but those don’t matter here, my friend. If they did, I wouldn’t have to participate in this tournament, I would be handed the match against Dominic Sanders.

I once held a championship for five hundred days, wait, sorry, five hundred and two days, a championship where every match had some sort of extreme stipulation added to it. I’m sure both of us could go on and on about accolades but like I said, they don’t matter here.

Darius takes a step closer to the camera, cracks his neck, then looks to a poster on the wall that features Dominic Sanders winning the EWC Undisputed Championship.

Darius: What matters is that and what we do to get there. I’ve done nothing but win so far. You? You had a number one contendership match for the Intercontinental Championship back in Philly. You lost, kid, just like you lost your TV championships in the past. It seems that all you do is lose.

You catch a spark, you ignite a flame that gets you going for a week or two, but then a strong gust of wind comes throw and puts that flame out again. I’m that gust of wind this time around. I’m going to extinguish you and any hopes of going after Sanders and his championship.

Darius smiles once again, picks his phone up from the ground, then looks back to the camera.

Darius: I truly hope you understand what you're about to go up against. One's mind and soul can only take so many losses before breaking and just wanting to hide in a hole somewhere. I could say "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you" ... but I won't because I can't. I don't want to. I won't go easy on you, I'm going to give you everything I've got. When I'm done with you, I'll do it to the next person, and the next, and I'll keep on going until I am standing in the ring with Dominic Sanders at Stranglemania XIV.

You won't stop me, Kross. Nothing will stop me.

Darius walks out of frame, mumbling something under his breath, as the camera fades to black.

SINGLES MATCH
Winner moves forward in the Undisputed Championship Contender tournament

Kendrick Kross
VS Darius

---

---

'Seven Nation Army' hits the PA System. The lights flash red and white with each bass drum hit illuminating the stage briefly. When the snare comes in the rest of the lights come in to reveal Kendrick standing in the middle of the stage with a slight smile on his face. When the cymbals hit in as the words "leave it alone" are said red and white pyro shoot from the side of the stage as Kendrick proceeds down the ramp.

Stroup: From Chelsea, London, weighing at 215 Pounds....Kendrick KROSS!

Kendrick continues his way down the ramp slapping a few hands and with each cymbal strike the red lights brighten. As he reaches the end of the ramp he smiles and takes a left turn and walks up the steps, climbing in through the top and second ropes. He walks to the middle of the ring and looks out into the crowd before walking over to his corner and hopping up onto the turnbuckle awaiting his opponent.

Aiello: Kendrick Kross lost a number one contendership match last week against former stablemate Iggy Swango and now he looks to win against Darius.

Bennett: This stupid son’o’bitch doesn’t know jack shit about winning as of late and I am LOVING IT!

The lights start flashing red and white as a distorted voice & instrumentals start to play from the sound system. Right as the opening chords begin, the lights go dark …

Stroup: Making his way his way to the stage, from Albany New York, weighing in at 245 lbs … Darius!

Loud pyro with white flames shoot from the stage ...

“Collapse, collapse!”

Darius sprints out onto the stage wearing a long, black trench coat over his gear & a black beanie to keep his hair back. He jogs to each side of the stage, taunting the crowd with rude gestures & faces, & then sprints down the ramp towards the ring, sliding underneath the bottom rope then jumping to his feet with his arms held high in the air, rocking the devil horns.

Carter: Darius has made his intentions for this match very clear. He’s looking to run over the former champion Kendrick Kross by any means necessary.

DING DING DING

Darius explodes out of his corner into K2 with a fiery dropkick that slings Kendrick back into the corner with monstrous impact. K2 stumbles out of the corner and right into a DDT that plants him on his head. Darius makes the cover.

1

… KICKOUT!

Aiello: Darius is starting us off on fire in this one folks!

Benett: Did you expect anything less you dumb shit?

Darius drags K2 back to his feet into a side-headlock for a second DDT and an instant cover.

1

2
KICKOUT!

Darius drags Kendrick back up and this time yanks him into a belly-to-belly followed by a cover…

1

2
KICKOUT!

Aiello: With every kickout Kendrick is using more and more energy, Darius is slowly but surely draining his tank.

Carter: Fortunately for Kendrick, we know the former champion has a pretty huge gas tank and has no problems going long distances in matches.

Darius drags k2 up and again goes for the DDT but K2 had it scouted and yanked Darius up into a suplex, he’s holding it and down they go, K2 with a phenomenal delayed brainbuster suplex! Now it’s time for K2 to drag Darius up and hit a DDT of his own, albeit this one a double-underhook DDT!

Bennett: That son’o’bitch is just a copycat!

K2 forced Darius up and then shoved him into the ropes, on the rebound Darius was met with a jaw-jacking European uppercut that led into a German suplex with a bridge!

1
KICKOUT!

Aiello: And with that, Kendrick makes his first pinfall attempt of the match thusfar.

Kendrick attempts to pull Darius up but Darius rolls him up!

1

2
KICKOUT!

Darius wastes no time rolling to his feet, Kendrick is getting up as well but not before Darius can bounce off the ropes, Darius sprints into K2 at full-speed and Wit’s End connects with full force, his massive boot slamming into the back of K2’s head as K2 goes limp on impact. Darius covers!

1

2

KICKOUT at 2.999!

Aiello: Oh wow, any closer and that would’ve been a three count!

Darius can’t believe K2 kicked out but he’s not wasting his moment. Darius yanked K2 up before hip-tossing K2 into the corner, K2s body bouncing off of the turnbuckles. Darius runs to the opposite corner, he rebounds like a mighty bullet before rushing into K2 with a running face wash that nearly ripped K2s damn face off! Darius rushes back to the opposite corner and then the raging bull rushes back into K2 with a second devastating face wash! Darius drags K2 up into the center of the ring, drag being literal as K2 is almost entirely dead weight!

Aiello: Darius is looking to FINISH this match!

Bennett: You’re goddamn right!

Darius slides K2 into a side-headlock and then lifts K2 off the ground before planting him face first into the canvas with his patented soul catcher DDT! Darius doesn’t try the cover, Darius drags K2 up, perhaps looking for another soul catcher but K2 drops deadweight to on knee before spinning around and flipping backwards into a pele kick from outta nowhere! K2s leg connected right into Darius’ temple and both men are down! K2 staggers to his feet. He bounces off of the ropes and on the return connets with THE TRAMP STAMP! He falls into cover.

CAGE MATCH
No pin, must escape

Curtis Mars
VS Mario

---

---

Aiello: What a match by Kendrick and Darius! Alright folks, it's time for a fairly interesting match up here tonight. We will see Mario take on the newcomer Curtis Mars!

Bennett: Curtis Mars calls himself "The Warden of Extreme" and his first match will be inside of a steel cage!

Carter: And the only way to win this won is via escaping the cage ... Who will come out on top?

A big green pipe rises from the stage floor and as the first line of the Mario Bros Gangsta Rap hits, Mario jumps out of it and lands on the stage with arms crossed and serious intention ready to fight as he marches to the ring.

Stroup: From Brooklyn, NY weighing in at 285 lbs he is SUPER MARIO!!!

Aiello: So let's be honest here ... Mario hasn't -

Bennett: He sucks.

Carter: Come on now, Bennett. He and his partner Ganandorf may have lost last week but tonight could be the one.

Bennett: Mario is getting locked in a cage who claims to be extreme. You know what happened the last time an extreme guy got put into a cage for his first match? I think you know. Mario is DEAD.

Pyros hit and "Smile" by Frank Sinatra begins to blast through the arena sound system. The lights flash and a platform begins to be raised in the side of the stage. As the stage itself is filled with smoke, knelt down on one knee is Curtis Mars in the center of the rising platform. He uses his hand to hold up his head and as the platform raises higher, he slowly lifts his head up and there is an odd smile on his face. Once the platform stops, Curtis leaps into the air, lands with his arms spread out wide and lets out a loud scream of excitement. He looks to the fans, then eyes the ring excitedly smirking.

Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen, making his way to the ring, hailing from Oymyakon, Russia! He stands at 6'0" and weighing in at 205 LBS He is 'The Warden Of Extreme' CURTIS MARS!

Once to the ring, Curtis jumps up onto the ring apron, grabs the top rope and uses it to spring himself up and over landing on his feet, but rolling to the center. Stopping his roll on one knee, his arms out screaming in excitement again. Curtis then stands up, circles into his corner and rocks back and forth rolling his wrists waiting for his match to begin with his chin down to his chest smiling ear to ear.

Aiello: Look at that grin! He is excited for his first match!

Carter: Well let's hope it doesn't distract him. His first match in the EWC is inside of a cage and he can't let his guard down.

Bennett: You two are delirious ... He is ready to tear this fool apart and he gets to do it without limitation!

The referee calls for the cage to be lowered. Mario and Curtis both look up and watch as the cage slowly comes down to ring level ... and then the referee calls for the bell.

DING DING DING

Almost instantly, Mario turns to the cage wall and attempts to scramble up the cage, but Curtis is quick to grab him by the shirt and yanks him down from the wall. Mario turns to face Curtis and eats a couple of quick jabs to the chin, and then Curtis whips Mario to the opposite turnbuckle.

Curtis runs to the ropes next to Mario, springboards off from them, and connects with a stiff elbow to the throat of Mario. Curtis then wraps his arm around Mario's neck, kicks off from the cage, and brings Mario around and down with a tornado DDT!

Curtis jumps to his feet and leans his back against the cage wall with a wide smile on his face, soaking in reaction from the crowd. He turns to face the cage and presses his face to the cold steel, making eye contact with a few fans in the crowd who are thoroughly behind him.

Carter: He is eating this up! Curtis Mars has plenty of fans in the crowd tonight!

Bennett: Probably because he isn't letting Mario get any offense in!

Aiello: Curtis has shown a tremendous amount of skill thus far; what else does he have in his arsenal?

Curtis begins to turn to face Mario, but Mario clotheslines Curtis in the back of the neck, causing Curtis' face to get mashed by the cage wall! Mario then jumps up and brings Curtis down with a backstabber, flipping Curtis over to the center of the ring onto his back.

Curtis lays in the center of the ring, arching his back and trying to mend the afflicted spine, but then Mario dives down onto Curtis and plants his fist directly over Curtis' heart with a sickening impact!

Mario then looks to the turnbuckle, back down to Curtis, then the turnbuckle again. He then kicks Curtis in the kidney before making his way to the turnbuckle to climb up to the top rope.

Aiello: Mario wants to end this early, I think he is trying to get out of the cage!

Carter: I don't think that is the case, I think he about to break out the world famous Super Mario Stomp!

Bennett: ... World famous? Seriously?

Mario raises his fist high into the air then leaps from the top, looking to put his boot through Curtis' chest, but Curtis rolls out of the way. Mario manages to land on his feet but is quickly met with a forearm from Curtis.

Mario falls back against the cage and starts to climb through the ropes to get outside of the ring and to the wall, but Curtis grabs the back of his head and shoves his face into the cold steel, grinding it to and fro against the unforgiving chain link fencing of the cage wall.

Curtis then walks Mario to the turnbuckle and starts to bash his head off from the top turnbuckle ...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ...

Before the seventh strike, Mario manages to keep his head away from the turnbuckle, then elbows Curtis in the gut. Mario then grabs Curtis by the hair and starts to slam and grind his face into the steel, tearing the skin and letting the blood flow freely down Curtis' face.

Bennett: Well son of a bitch! Mario drew the first blood! I didn't think he had it in him!

Aiello: Things are not looking good for ... Wait, is he laughing?

Carter: Yes he is ... I think Curtis is enjoying this!

Mario continues to grind the face of Curtis until he hears the laughter coming from him. Mario pulls Curtis face away from the wall and sees Curtis' face break out into a wide, bloody grin. Curtis then headbutts Mario in the mouth a few times, rendering Mario dazed, and then tosses him into the ring over the top rope.

Curtis climbs to the top rope, watching as Mario rolls onto his back near the center of the ring. Curtis then slowly brings his gaze up higher, examining the height of the cage ... then begins to climb higher up.

Curtis gets about half way up the cage before Mario starts to get back to his feet. Curtis looks down at Mario, his face now donning the infamous crimson mask, and Mario looks back in fear as the smile cracks across Curtis' face once again. Curtis then pushes himself into the cage and leaps from the wall ...

Aiello: What is he doing?! He could have made it out!

Carter: I think he's in this for the thrill!

Bennett: He is risking it all just to feel that rush and I am LOVING it!

Curtis flips mid air and lands onto Mario with a picture perfect moonsault, bringing both men down to the mat hard! Curtis rolls around holding his midsection and kicking his feet, trying to fight off the pain, as Mario lays curled up in the center of the ring, holding his head and neck, as they had taken the brunt of the impact.

Curtis catches his breath, rolls to the turnbuckle, and pulls himself to his feet with them, resting in the corner for a moment as Mario slowly starts to pick himself up to his knees. Curtis measures Mario up as he gets to a knee, then Curtis rushes the rope nearest to Mario, leaps off from it, and cocks his knee up and goes for Mario's head ...

Carter: A knee with that much power behind it will knock someone out!

Bennett: I hope it does.

Aiello: Don't speak so soon, gentlemen!

Right as Curtis' knee is about to connect, Mario pops up, catches Curtis midair, and plants him down to the mat with the Brooklyn Bomb, making Curtis' head bounce off from the mat hard!

Mario pushes Curtis off from him, gets to his feet, then takes hold of the cage to begin climbing. Curtis rolls onto his front and sees Mario climbing the cage. Curtis climbs to the ropes and pulls himself up with them, getting to his feet as Mario gets to the half way point up the cage.

Curtis climbs onto the top rope, bounces a few times, then leaps up high, catching the cage and meeting Mario's height. Mario looks on with amazement then horror as Curtis begins cackling in his face.

Bennett: Curtis is a freak, man! An absolute freak! We need more guys like this!

Aiello: The way he moves is incredible, it is almost superhuman in nature!

Carter: All of that won't matter if Mario manages to knock him down from the cage!

Mario headbutts Curtis and dazes him for a moment, but then Curtis gives Mario a headbutt of his own in return! Mario shakes off the attack, then starts to pull himself further up the cage, but Curtis keeps up with him, striking him in the kidney with stiff hands multiple times.

Mario tries to hold on as the strikes continue, but his grip starts to loosen up. Curtis grabs Mario by the head and starts to grind his face into the cage hard until Mario is busted wide open, then Curtis pulls back hard and throws Mario from nearly the top of the cage! Mario lands with a sickening thud, laying motionless in the center of the ring on his back.

Curtis climbs to the top of the cage and stands tall, posing for the crowd. He then starts to climb down but thinks twice about it, slowly turning to look at Mario as he lays in the ring.

Aiello: Oh no ...

Carter: He can win the match, why is he stalling?

Bennett: I don't think this crazy son of a bitch is done with Mario yet!

Curtis pulls himself back onto the cage and stands tall facing Mario, wiping the blood out of his eyes. He puts his finger to his lips, hushing the crowd, so they go silent. Curtis then throws his arms back and flies from the top of the cage, pulling off a Phoenix 630 in the air, then crash lands down onto Mario's chest hard with a sickening impact!

The crowd breaks out into HOLY SHIT chants as Curtis flails around the ring, calling for the referee to open the door. Curtis drags himself over to the door as the referee opens it and slowly pulls himself down the stairs and falls to the floor below, coughing up a bit of blood as the referee calls for the bell.

DING DING DING

Stroup: Here is your winner ... CURTIS MAAAAARS!

Aiello: WOW! What an insane finish to an excellent match up!

Carter: Mario may not have pulled off the win here tonight but he put on one hell of a show with Curtis! These two should be proud!

Bennett: That was CRAZY! Did you see that flip!? LOOK AT ALL OF THE BLOOD! I love this! Hahaha! We're finally getting even more extreme in EWC!

As Mario begins to get to his feet.  Directly after the match, Mario still in the ring clapping can be heard over the loud speakers and then an image on the titantron comes up of somebody eating a watermelon. As the camera pans out it's revealed to be Arya Melon in a room. She chews and looks to the camera.

Arya: Bravo Mario, bravo. I saw you and your friend would like some sort of revenge.

She bites into the melon and makes a sound with her eyes closed as she enjoys it. Still chewing she continues.

Arya: Well, the Melon Gods chose me, I'll except an easy victory. But it's not going to be just some regular match. Let's make it interesting, I'd love to have us a handicap match, you and Gannondorf against me in a hell in a cell. But I'm sure you won't except that. So seeing as you're all beat up, give me Gannondorf in an X-Division rules match, Last Man Standing. If he excerpts, just let the word out and let him know I'll be seeing him next week.

Arya winks at the camera and shoves the rest of the melon into her mouth, the green outer layer and all. Smirking and  chewing the tron shuts off.

We move to a commercial break.

Joe Aiello: What a night we’ve had here already, truly a show befitting a venue like Madison Square Garden.

Max Carter: No doubt. The Undisputed Championship Contender tournament is well underway, and we’ve still got our International Championship main event coming up!

Steve Bennett: Will you son o’ bitches ever shut up?

Joe Aiello: Not when there’s so much to talk abo-

“THE ACE OF SPADES! THE ACE OF SPADES!!!”

Aiello and Carter: WHAT?!?!?!

Steve Bennett: Goddamnit, not this son o’ bitch…

Sure enough, the opening notes to the iconic Motorhead anthem blare through Madison Square Garden, and there’s a pretty strong cheer as Rampage superstar Ace King steps onto the stage, the United States Championship draped on his shoulder.

Joe Aiello: Well, there’s a sight EWC has gotten incredibly used to, as ‘The Gambler’ closes in on history.

Max Carter: Maybe not so much on BRAWL, but indeed, Ace King has shown himself to be a durable, battle-tested competitor. You don’t get to be Champion of the Year without consistently rising to the occasion.

Steve Bennett: Except during Undisputed Championship matches…

Max Carter: Can you not? I mean, you’re technically not wrong, but there’s no denying Ace’s body of work throughout his EWC tenure.

Ace takes a breath as he surveys the crowd, then calmly walks down to the ring with his arms outstretched to interact with fans lining the ramp. He’s got a determined look on his face as he grabs a microphone from ringside before stepping through the ropes, a majority of the fans chanting his name as he nods along. ‘Ace of Spades’ fades out, and he rolls his tongue along his bottom teeth as he thinks about what he wants to say. After 30 more seconds of the fans chanting for Ace, ‘The Gambler’ allows a small smirk to cross his face as he offers a shoulder shrug before raising the microphone to his mouth.

Ace King: It’s been a little while, hasn’t it BRAWL?

The fans respond in kind with mostly cheers as the United States Champion casually leans over the top rope, looking out at the crowd before speaking again.

Ace King: I was hoping to do Griff’s talk show, but he’s a little preoccupied tonight. Maybe next time, brother!

The crowd laughs as the United States Champion shrugs his shoulders before turning serious once again.

Ace King: But yes, it’s been a long time. In fact, the last time I fought on this particular show… It was in this very building, in front of the always passionate fans right here at Madison Square Garden.

The crowd cheers a little louder for the cheap local reference, while Ace simply nods along.

Joe Aiello: I remember that; the huge 500th episode of BRAWL, he survived Andrew Jackson in what so many people considered a dream match.

Max Carter: It seems like the one thing that hasn’t changed since then is the gold Ace carries on his shoulder.

The audience continues to cheer for the United States Champion, though it dies off shortly thereafter as Ace takes a breath before speaking again.

Ace King: Yeah, it’s been a little while… Maybe a little too long… And I think it’s time to rectify that.

The crowd starts to buzz as ‘The Gambler’ raises a rather suggestive eyebrow.

Joe Aiello: What’s he getting at?

Max Carter: I think I have a good idea…

The buzz continues to build as ‘The Gambler’ briefly scrunches his face up and adjusts the United States Championship on his shoulder.

Ace King: See, the guy who, somewhat ostensibly, runs things around here seemed to have no problem being a keyboard warrior a few weeks ago… While I’ve been known to have my online fun, I’ve always preferred actions instead of words. So, I figured I’d deliver this message to one Victor Price in person, in “his ring”… Next week in Orlando, throw whoever you want at me. I’ll be ready.

The crowd bursts into a huge cheer at the declaration, a boisterous ‘ACE! ACE! ACE!’ chant echoing through the Garden!

Joe Aiello: WOW, that’s huge news! The United States Champion’s coming to BRAWL next week, and he’s ready to fight!

Steve Bennett: This son o’ bitch is outta his element.

The applause continues as Ace looks out toward the entrance ramp, a devilish glint in his eyes.

Ace King: Yes, Mister Price, you’ll get a good look at the United States Championship… You know, the one that’s been cross-branded for almost a year without a single BRAWL challenger. Way to create a culture of opportunity, bossman.

‘The Gambler’ throws a sly wink toward the camera as the crowd cheers heartily for the longtime United States Champion.

Ace King: ANYWAY, I’m a man of my word, so I’ll be here, ready to care take of business the way I always do… Bet On It.

With that, Ace drops the microphone and rolls out of the ring as ‘Ace of Spades’ reprises once more, raising his arms triumphantly for the fans in attendance as we go to…

FATAL 4-WAY

Nicole Tayler
VS Bliss
VS Joe Doe
VS Gabrielle Visconty

Aiello: What a brutal match up we just witnessed! Now, it's time for a fatal four-way!

Bennett: Yeah, here's to hoping for more blood!

Carter: This should be a good one folks!

Stroup: Coming to the ring at this time, from Los Angeles, California by way of Anaheim, California, Nicole Taylor.

”Let It Rock” plays and the fans both cheer and jeer as Nicole Taylor comes out and heads toward the ring. Along the way she hands out high fives to a very select number cheering cheer for her, and hands her psychologist business card to a select few who are jeering her. She enters the ring and is all business as she goes to her corner with no theatrics and waits.

Aiello: Here is a new comer. She's a Dr. This should be interesting.

Bennett: Yeah, she can do my next physical!

Carter: Or, we can just watch her wrestle.

Intro Riff of "ex's & oh's" cues as Purple strobe lights illuminate figure at the top of the ramp.Once the music picks up, Bliss tips her head back as the lights colour her face. She smiles wickedly before strutting down the ramp to a chorus of cheers. Once at the ring she She hops up on the apron, making a show of shaking her ass. She climbs in the ring, straddling the second rope seductively. Once in the ring she climbs the turnbuckle and holds her hands up in predetermined victory

Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, on her way to the ring next. From Las Vegas Nevada. She stands at 5'5" weighing in at 125lbs, The Original Goddess, BLISS!

Aiello: There is loads of potential by this one here.

Bennett: Meh, not with those knees.

Carter: She's got tons of experience. This should be a fun match!

The song Three Little Birds starts playing and Joe comes in, stands and smiles at the fans. Joe starts jumping up before running to the ring while giving high fives to some fans.

He reaches the ring, climbs the ropes and raises both arms.

Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen. Introducing next. From the USA, standing at 6'0" and weighing in at 200 lbs. He is the Golden Boy, JOE DOE!

Aiello: Tough break for Joe as of late, tons of talent, but things haven't been going his way.

Bennett: He doesn't deserve to be in here with Gabi Vee!

Carter: Joe Doe is very good, but everybody goes through some slumps.

”Oh Lord” by In This Moment hits the sound system as Gabrielle Visconty walks out from the back. She smiles briefly out at the crowd as they great her with mixed reactions. She looks around a moment, a little humbled by her reception, before heading off towards the ring at a soft jog, slapping hands as she goes. She hops up on the ring apron, looks out over the crowd and smiles, then springboards herself gracefully into the ring.

Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, last to the ring. From Honolulu, Hawaii. Standing 5'4" at 118 lbs, Gabi Vee, GABRIELLE VISCONTY!

Aiello: She's looking to make an impact here in BRAWL!

Bennett: Let's all keep it down, Gabi Vee is here! Where's my cap?

Carter: Can't wait to see this match get started!

DING DING DING

The match begins with the four slowly stepping forward, eyeing one another as they circle the ring. Nicole runs at Joe, as does Bliss, but from behind Gabi runs and dives driving her shoulder right into the back of the knee to bliss. Bliss falls to the ground grabbing at it, Gabi smiles, grabs Bliss by the leg and locks in a knee bar.

Joe then get's up quickly, runs towards Gabi and Bliss, Joe leaps up and comes crashing down hard onto the two breaking up the submission.

Aiello: Good ring awareness from Joe Doe breaking up that submission.

Bennett: Good? Nothing is good when you stop Gabi from winning.

Carter: I don't see this match ending easily.

Joe grabs Gabi's arm and lifts her to her feet. Joe whips Gabi into the ropes, on the return Gabi ducks a lariat and continues to run. Joe turns to face Gabi, but before she even returns Nicole leaps behind Joe and connects with a bulldog, but as Nicole gets to standing up, Gabi smashes her with a knee to the face.

Bennett: That sumbitch just robbed Gabi!

Carter: Great match by all four of them. There is potential in this woman.

We move to a commercial break.

The camera cut to the back inside the locker room of Xavier Reid as Tlatoani Volando sits on the bench watching as his new best friend Riku Fukui talks on his phone

Riku Fukui: Yes, Fukui...as in Fukui Technology, that is correct I’m calling to make sure everything is in place for tonight…

Tlatoani claps away in pure joy as Riku looks at him and gives him the thumbs up

Riku Fukui: Yes I want nothing but top shelf liquor and 100 bottles of the finest champagne on ice ready for a celebration and I want the door man to have my list of people allowed in, we don’t want to be bothered tonight…

But Tlatoani waves his arms back and forth to get his friends attention

Riku Fukui: But tell him he can let in any girl in a short skirt that’s a 9 or higher…but no dudes...

Riku gives a double thumbs up that is matched by Tlatoani Volando

Nikki Dupree: What are you two so happy about?

Tlatoani Volando: Riku rented out the 40/40 Club for the after party or if Xavier wins the Victory Celebration…

Nikki Dupree: Are you kidding me, Xavier is about to face Rob Garcia in the match he’s been lobbying for for months and you are sitting back here planning the after party instead of helping to get him ready?

Tlatoani Volando: What is it you think I do for Xavier? I’m not stretching him out like a trainer or coaching him up in a last second strategy session. Xavier doesn’t like to be bothered before his matches so...we are out here making plans for tonight…

Nikki Dupree: Not a word of this to Xavier…

Riku Fukui: Not to worry Miss Dupree, the business is all taken care of…

Tlatoani Volando: Awesome, tonight is going to ROCK!!!

But from off camera someone clears his throat and as the camera pulls back we see Brawl backstage interviewer Brian Spades standing in the doorway

Nikki Dupree: Can we help you?

Tlatoani Volando: Oh damn, hold on a second…

Tlatoani jumps off the bench and grabs a bag and tosses it at Brian Spades

Tlatoani Volando: Xavier’s dirty laundry, make sure that gets clean and sent over to the hotel before tomorrow morning but not too early ok, we are going to have a late night…

Brian Spades: I’m not the laundry guy, I’m Brawl’s backstage interview host…

Tlatoani Volando: Ha! Nice try buddy but we know you are not Ace Heart…

Brian Spades: Ace Heart doesn’t work here on Brawl…

Tlatoani Volando: Oh ok buddy...then why did we talk to him just last week?

Brian Spades: Because he keeps coming to Brawl and doing MY job and people keep letting him get away with it but not this week, I tracked Xavier Reid down before Ace could crash my party and I’m going to get this exclusive before Xavier Reid faces Rob Garcia for the X-Division Championship…

Tlatoani looks over at Nikki Dupree

Tlatoani Volando: Is this true?

Nikki Dupree: How am I supposed to know, I’ve never seen this guy, I only know Ace around here on Brawl…

Tlatoani looks back at Brian Spades who has entered the locker room with his film crew

Tlatoani Volando: I’m sure you’re a nice guy and all but I think we will wait for Ace…

Brian Spades: No...that’s not how tonight is going to go, Ace is not going to scoop me again, now GO GET XAVIER AND TELL HIM…

Xavier Reid: And tell me what…

Brian stops as Tlatoani smiles as Xavier stops in the doorway and looks inside his locker room, Tlatoani points over Brian’s shoulder and he turns around and looks Xavier right in the face and after a second or two extends his hand and takes a step forward

Brian Spades: Xavier, Brian Spades Brawl backstage interview host…

Xavier Reid: I thought that was Ace Heart’s job…

Brian Spades: No...no it’s my job but that idiot keeps showing up and getting all the good interviews but not tonight, I need a few words from you about tonight’s match…

Xavier Reid: I can give you one word...VIOLENT because that’s what this match is going to be tonight Brian...VIOLENT because I don’t plan to go out there an out wrestle Rob Garcia, I’m not looking to put on a wrestling clinic for these fans here tonight, no...I’m looking to spill blood all over Madison Square Garden, make the aisles flow in a sea of red, that’s the war I plan to bring to New York here tonight…

Brian Spades: And you’re going to have to if you plan on taking that X-Division Championship away from Rob Garcia…

Xavier Reid: I know Rob loves that championship...not the X-Division but the belt, he likes bright shiny things, gold and he likes being able to walk around here and call himself Champion...so much so he made up and brought in his own championship...the Undefeated World Heavyweight Championship of the world, he likes the attention the championship bring him...it makes him feel important…

Brian Spades: A EWC Championship does make him important Xavier…

Xavier Reid: And that’s why taking it from him will be so enjoyable because how do you hurt a man that has everything...you take away the one thing his money can’t buy Brian, you take away the one thing he loves more than himself...the attention that championship brings him...the attention that brought me right in front of him because Brian I wouldn’t have cared if Rob Garcia was the TV Champion or the US Champion...I could have cared less if he was the International Champion but Rob Garcia is the X-Division Champion and it was the X-Division Championship that brought me back to Brawl Brian, I spent 2018 beating the X-Division Champions, becoming the BEST X-Division star the EWC had and I had to watch time and time again OTHERS claim the championship that should have been mine and tonight I right that wrong…

Brian Spades: Xavier everyone understands your claim to that champions…

Xavier Reid: After tonight Brian it will not longer be a claim...I will be the EWC X-Division Champion...I will usher in MY era and bring my brand of X-Division to the EWC...it’s been a long time coming, ups and down...I had to fight my way back to this very moment...this one right here and Rob Garcia is standing in my way...and tonight I knock him the hell out of the way…and take my place atop the X-Division...

Tlatoani Volando: And then we party...and if you see Ace you tell him he’s on the list…

Brian Spades: Am I on the list?

Tlatoani Volando: Let’s see how you handle the laundry first kid

Tlatoani point down at the bag of dirty cloths at his feet as the camera fades

Carter: And we are back, folks. Guys this next match should be a good one.

Aiello: That's right, Max. Our Undisputed Champion Dominic Sanders takes on the new EWC Television Champion Joe Hustler, who is making his first appearance on Monday Night BRAWL!

Bennett: I'm torn on this one, guys. I like the Undisputed Champion but Joe Hustler is da realest!

Aiello: Did you just say 'da realest?'

Bennett: Don't worry about what I said. Worry about calling this match!

The lights brighten almost completely. The tron goes to a shot of the eyes of Joe Hustler just as "Fight Fire With Fire" by The Prodigy starts up.  Just as the lyrics hit, Cottoneye Joe steps out onto the rampway with Big Nasty Bastard.



Fans go crazy with boos as Joe half runs and half dances his way to the ring with the Television Championship in tow where he baseball slides under the bottom rope and Big Nasty Bastard stays on the ring apron. Joe raises the Television Championship up high into the air.

Stroup: And on that night a star was born, he's peanut butter chocolate cake with kool-ade, he's cooler than the other side of the pillow, he's better than sliced bread, he's the Notorious J.O.E., the spotlight of the night, "Cottoneye" Joe Hustler.

Aiello: Looks like the Television Champion has brought some backup with him.

Bennett: That don't matter. You know Sanders has his own guys.

Carter: True statement. We're sure to see The Limit here tonight, Steve.

Aiello: And with all of these bodies outside of the ring, you never know what's going to go down.

The lights go out in Madison Square Garden. Purple lights cut on around the entrance ramp as "Drop the World" by Lil' Wayne begins playing.

"I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes
Hate in my heart, love in my mind"

Dominic Sanders steps out from the back. However, he is not wearing his typical dark purple hoodie and black wrestling tights. Sanders has a bright yellow HAZMAT suit on as the EWC Undisputed Championship hangs from his right hand. The hood of his HAZMAT suit covers over his head as he stands at the top of the ramp. Both members of The Limit follow and flank him on either side as he stands at the top of the ramp and soaks in the boos from the crowd.

"So I pick the world up and I'ma drop it on your fucking head!"

Dominic beats his chest with his left fist and raises the Undisputed Championship in the air with a roar. The crowd boos even louder as he starts to make his way down to the ring. A cocky grin can be seen through the plastic over his face as he and The Limit walk down the ramp.

Stroup: His opponent... from Aledo, Texas. Weighing in at two hundred and seventy pounds... He is the EWC Undisputed Champion! DOMINIIIIC SAAAAANDEEERS!

Sanders rolls underneath the bottom rope and into the ring. He jumps up to his feet and stares out into the unadoring crowd through the plastic in his HAZMAT suit, all while holding the Undisputed Championship high in the air. He grins and shakes his head as he moves over to the corner and waits.

Aiello: Well... uh... this is different.

Bennett: Sanders DID call Joe Hustler the sleaziest guy in the game. I guess he's afraid of catching something?

Carter: Looks to me like the Champ has been spending too much time with Rob Garcia and Jeff Noon. Their wacky antics have rubbed off on the Undisputed Champion.

DING DING DING

MSanders looks at Joe through the plastic in the helmet portion of his HAZMAT suit. Joe looks around confused. He slowly walks over to Sanders and starts to yell at him.

Joe: You think you’re real fuckin’ funny, huh?

Sanders puts his right hand up to his ear, indicating that he can’t hear Joe.

Joe: I SAID.. YOU THINK…

Sanders drives the point of his right elbow into Joe’s left ear. Joe stumbles away and then charges Sanders. Sanders brings Joe down with a drop toe-hold and gets up quickly, dropping an elbow to the back of Joe’s head. He puts Joe in a seated headlock, but Joe squirms out of it and leaves Sanders in a seated position. Joe jumps up to his feet and runs, driving a knee into the back of Sanders’ head. Sanders grabs the back of his head as Joe gets up to his feet and dances in the middle of the ring.



Aiello: Well, the Television Champion is taking a quick dance break.

Carter: He’d better focus on the Undisputed Champion, guys.

Bennett: Please. He knows what he’s doing!

Sanders rolls over onto his knees and looks at Joe through the hard plastic window over his face. Joe beckons for Sanders to come on and Sanders gets up to his feet. Sanders claps his rubber-gloved hands together and walks straight up to Joe. He reaches up and they lock up in the middle of the ring. Joe puts Sanders into a side-headlock. Sanders backs Joe up into the ropes and sends him across the ring. Joe bounces off of the ropes and knocks Sanders down with a shoulder block. Joe bounces off the ropes again. Sanders rolls over onto his stomach. Sanders gets to his feet and, as Joe returns towards him again, Sanders delivers a textbook dropkick to Joe’s chin. Joe bounces off of the mat and to his feet. A second dropkick from Sanders. A third and Joe rolls out of the ring and to his feet next to Big Nasty Bastard.

Aiello: And now the Undisputed Champion has the Television Champion reeling.

Bennett: Smart move, though. Rolling to the outside to get his bearings back.

Carter: What’s into you tonight, Steve? You’ve actually called a couple of matches normally. Have you been going to broadcast school on the weekends?

Bennett: I’ve got tricks ya ain’t never seen boy!

Sanders exits the ring and steps up to Joe and Big Nasty Bastard. Big Nasty Bastard steps in front of Joe and steps towards Sanders. The Limit sprints around the ring and they step in front of Sanders.

Aiello: Guys, guys… this looks like it is about to explode!

The Limit and Big Nasty Bastard stare at each other. Joe grabs Big Nasty by the arm and backs him away from The Limit. Sanders does the same with The Limit. The referee is out of the ring and standing in the middle of it all.

Carter: Josh Daniels must get ahold of this match, guys.

Both parties separate and Sanders and Joe slide back into the ring. Big Nasty Bastard runs up the ramp and disappears to the back.

Aiello: Where in the hell is he going?

Bennett: Probably retreating! The Limit was about to whip his ass!

Sanders is up to his feet first, dropping a double-axe handle to Joe’s upper back. Joe fights his way to his feet and the two begin trading hard blows in the middle of the ring. Sanders connects his shots with Joe’s face while Joe opts for the side of the neck, as the HAZMAT suit’s helmet doesn’t allow for Joe to get Sanders in the face. Joe gains the advantage when he finally drives a forearm into Sanders’ ribcage. Sanders doubles over, clutching at his ribs. Joe backs up and runs at a now-standing Sanders, dropping him to the mat with a sling blade. Joe goes for the first cover of the match.

1

TW-kickout before the two count by Sanders.

Joe gets up to his feet fast and begins stomping on the plastic covering on Sanders’ HAZMAT helmet. Joe drives the heel of his boot hard into the plastic and cracks it!

Aiello: Joe Hustler just shattered the plastic on that HAZMAT suit’s helmet!

Carter: Sanders it going to have a tough time seeing through the cracks now. Something has to give for the Champ.

Big Nasty Bastard is back down the ramp at ringside. He slides a pair of scissors into the ring to Joe Hustler. Joe pins Sanders down onto the mat with his knees right into the Champ’s chest. Josh Daniels warns Joe about a disqualification. Joe doesn’t use the scissors as a weapon, however. He punctures the HAZMAT suit with the scissors and begins cutting the helmet part off! Sanders grabs ahold of Joe’s wrist and pulls his hand and the scissors away from his head. He reaches up with the other hand and punches Joe in the jaw, causing Joe to release the scissors as they go flying onto the matt. Josh Daniels grabs the scissors and hands them to a ringside attendant. Joe rolls off of Sanders as Sanders slowly gets up to his feet. Joe charges at Sanders, but Sanders ducks a kick attempt to the head. Joe turns around but is met by a clothesline from hell from Sanders! Sanders gets to his feet as Joe rolls over onto his stomach. Sanders reaches up and grabs the zipper to the HAZMAT suit, unzipping it all the way down to his feet. He removes the suit and now stands there in his normal wrestling attire. He runs over to Joe and drops his knee right into the lower back of Joe Hustler. He grabs ahold of Joe’s right arm and right leg and wrenches back on both with his knee still driven into Joe’s lower back.

Bennett: Sanders is no longer protected! He’d better take three showers tonight!

Aiello: Surely Joe Hustler isn’t THAT bad.

Bennett: I saw that sumbitch in the strip club about two and a half hours ago!

Carter: Which means you were also there?

Bennett: Not a chance in hell! I was parked across the street at the gas station getting myself a Diet Coke when I saw that sumbitch walking in. I figured it was a bit odd considering Brawl was starting in about thirty minutes.

Sanders cinches the hold in tighter as Joe refuses to give up. Sanders reaches over and locks Joe’s feet together. He grabs Joe by the shoulder and rolls onto his back with a bow and arrow submission move.

Carter: The Champ is opening his repertoire tonight. I am not sure I’ve ever seen him do this.

Aiello: He’s trying to show the world exactly why he is where he is.

Bennett: That, or he’s getting desperate against Joe Hustler!

Joe’s body torques with Sanders’ strength. Sanders leans back onto the mat, but his shoulders are down.

Sanders leans up a little, breaking the count. He pulls back hard on Joe’s legs and shoulder, his knees digging deeper into Joe’s back. But, once again, Sanders’ shoulder lay flat on the mat.

Sanders releases some of the pressure and rolls up again. As Sanders leans up to keep his shoulders off of the mat, Joe swings his left fist wildly at Sanders and connects with the bridge of his nose. Sanders releases the bow and arrow and rolls over onto his stomach, blood starting to drip out of his nostrils. Joe rolls over towards the ropes and gets up to his knee. He leans on the middle rope while clutching his back and trying to shake the pain out of it. Sanders gets up to his feet and grabs Joe by the chin. He pulls Joe’s head backwards and drives a forearm down onto Joe’s chest. Sanders lifts Joe to his feet. Joe drives an elbow to Sanders’ Adam’s Apple! Sanders stumbles backwards holding his throat. Joe grabs ahold of Sanders’ head and sprints to the turnbuckle. He climbs it, looking for Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake #2! Sanders stops Joe’s momentum and snatches Joe into a fireman’s carry. RIPTIDE! Sanders connects with Riptide! He covers Joe.

Big Nasty Bastard grabs Joe’s foot and places it on the bottom rope!

Thr- NO! The referee notices the foot on the ropes. He didn’t see Big Nasty put it there, but the count is broken.

Aiello: Big Nasty just saved Joe Hustler there!

Bennett: Smart move!

Carter: LOOK OUT!

The Limit sprints around the ring and Ethan Alexander lays Big Nasty Bastard out with a clothesline! DJ Frank catches up to Ethan and the two begin putting the boots to Big Nasty. Ethan walks over to the announce table and begins clearing off the contents.

Aiello: I don’t know about you two, but I am out of here!

The announcers abort their headsets and move away from the table as Ethan finishes clearing the table. Ethan goes back over to Big Nasty, who drives an uppercut to DJ’s groin. DJ drops to his knees and Big Nasty gets up to his feet. Ethan swings with a haymaker, but Big Nasty ducks it and delivers a big boot to Ethan Alexander. He bends over and picks DJ up off of the ground. He looks over at the table and positions DJ for a powerbomb! In the ring Dominic Sanders and the referee are both watching over the top rope as Joe Hustler rolls over to the other side to recover. Big Nasty lifts DJ up into the air, but Ethan Alexander grabs DJ’s foot, yanking him down off of Big Nasty’s shoulders. Big Nasty spins around and The Limit drives him down with a double uranage on the arena floor. The Limit leans over to pick Big Nasty up off of the floor to put him through the table, but someone jumps the guardrail and nails Ethan Alexander with a jumping knee to the side of the head. It’s Sebastian Conner! DJ Frank turns around. SPINEBUSTER FROM CONNER TO FRANK THROUGH THE TABLE!

Sanders gets frustrated by the activity outside of the ring and finally decides to turn his attention back to Joe. He walks over to Joe, who is still prone on the ground. Sanders bends over and picks Joe Hustler up. He picks Joe up into a second fireman’s carry, but Joe was playing possum and immediately drops behind Sanders! PRINCE OF PAIN! Sanders rolls around holding his back. Joe Hustler looks down wide-eyed and then to the corner, he runs over, exits to the ring apron, and climbs to the top turnbuckle. He stands in a crouched position waiting for Sanders to get up.

Aiello: Okay, we are back. And Joe Hustler has Sanders where he wants him!

Carter: What in the hell is Sebastian Conner doing here, guys?!

Bennett: He said he’s got Joe Hustler’s back! And he delivered!

Carter: Well, The Limit are both out cold in front of us. Sebastian Conner is being escorted away from ringside by security while Big Nasty is slowly getting to his feet.

Sanders finally gets to his feet and Joe leaps off of the top turnbuckle. He goes for the Hail Mary! Sanders swings upward and drives an elbow right under Joe’s chin! Joe drops to the mat. Sanders reaches down and grabs Joe. He lifts him up off of the ground and onto his shoulders. RIPTIDE! Sanders connects with a second Riptide! Sanders drags Joe into the dead center of the ring and covers.

DING DING DING

Stroup: Here is your winner… the EWC Undisputed Champion… Dominic Saaaaanders!

Aiello: What a hard-fought match for Joe Hustler. He’s turned some heads tonight, despite the outcome.

Carter: He sure has, but it was the Undisputed Champion who still walked away victorious.

Sanders retrieves the Undisputed Championship from the referee’s grasp and holds it into the air. The crowd boos as he climbs through the ropes and to the outside, checking on both members of The Limit.

Aiello: What a match. Dominic Sanders shows us, once again, why he’s the top dog!

Carter: And there’s STILL so much more action! Coming up next we’ve got Rob Garcia defending his X-Division Championship against Xavier Reid! And the winner also advances in the Undisputed Championship Number One Contender Tournament! Go nowhere!

 



We move to a commercial break.

X-DIVISION RULES
Winner moves forward in the Undisputed Championship Contender tournament
FOR THE X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

Xavier Reid
VS Rob Garcia

---

---

Aiello: You folks ready for some X-Division action? Well, we got it. Right at the top. Garcia makes his 1st defense against the dangerous Xavier Reid.

Carter: The former FSW champion is looking to capture that mainstream championship he’s been looking for and Rob Garcia seems ripe for the picking.

Bennett: Look at you, already counting out one of the greatest X-Division champions of all time. Xavier Reid doesn’t even deserve this chance.

Aiello: Technically he does. Garcia let Jeff Noon of all people fight in his proxy when he forgot to show up. Not Xavier’s fault he had an easy night. Doubt it will be the same. We’ve got gold on the line but something else, too. Throughout the night, we’ve had the opening round matches for the Undisputed Championship #1 Contender tournament, and whoever wins tonight also advances in that tournament! A lot on the line right now.

Stroup: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Before any introductions can happen, Xavier Reid bursts out from the backstage curtain flailing his arms about as the aforementioned manager is on his back, legs grapevined around Xavier’s midsection, and locking in what could be construed as a sleeper hold. But more than likely, Noon is choking Reid. Xavier backs himself into stage wall and loosens the grip. Like a wild man, Noon tries to claw at Reid’s eyes…

Aiello: Jeff Noon is a man who seems to be used to embarrassment but he is looking for revenge for his last encounter with Reid. Makes me wonder though, where is Rob Garcia?

Bennett: Reid’s the one who had to jump the gun and rush out here before the introductions. Guess he didn’t want anyone to pay attention to his ill fitting trunks or constantly changing shirts mid entrance.

Carter: What the hell are you talking about?

Xavier Reid yeets Noon over the top of him. Before he can do anything else, Rob Garcia bum rushes him from the backstage area, walloping him with a giant toothbrush!

Bennett: Show that son of a bitch proper dental hygiene!

Ridiculous looking prop or not, Garcia jams the butt end of the toothbrush into Reid’s chest. He then raises the the brush high into the air and swings down towards the former FSW champion’s head.

Reid moves head out of the way and then kicks Garcia right in the knee cap! The brush goes flying off the stage. Xavier gets to his feet and then shoves Garcia down the ramp. He almost comically rolls down the incline. Reid starts down the ramp but once again is accosted by Jeff Noon who is using dental floss like a garrote. Unfortunately for the manager, Reid breaks free of the floss and bashes Noon in the face with a reverse elbow. He turns his attention back to Garcia who is crawling away towards the ring, now clutching the X-Division title that was around his waist.

Carter: Have to give Rob Garcia credit, he actually showed up for his title defense.

Bennett: What do ya mean? Garcia is a prizefighter.

Aiello: Lots of action going on so far and the title match hasn’t even officially begun.

Garcia uses the ring apron to get to his feet, he hefts the title in his hand and swings wildly at Reid as he gets closer. Reid ducks and uppercuts Garcia back into the steel steps. With a running start, Xavier charges with, sees that Rob will dodge, recalculates and leaps over Rob and onto the steel steps. Garcia retreats into the ring. Reid vaults onto the top rope and leaps off into a flying crossbody!!

DING DING DING

With the referee momentarily out of position, he maybe starts the count late.

Garcia rolls through and catches Reid in a pin …

He grabs the trunks!!!

Reid kicks out!

Aiello: An auspicious way to start this contest! Both men nearly capture victory within seconds of the bell ringing!

Bennett: Reid is one sneaky son of a bitch.

Carter: Garcia just tried to cheat his way to a victory right there! He attacked Reid with a giant toothbrush!!

Both competitors are back to their feet. They start to exchange blows like wild men. Reid, fueled by the desire to become champion. Garcia, out of desperation to bring the match back in his element and perhaps a lot of anger towards Reid’s hits on Jeff Noon. Reid absorbs a particularly nasty jab by Rob and fires back with punch to the gut. He grabs a handful of hair and dumps Rob over the top rope and onto the apron. Reid springboards runs up the turnbuckle, springboards off the rope, and dropkicks Rob in the mouth to complete the triangle. Rob manages to land on his feet when he falls off the apron but it prompts Reid to take a running start before showing off some gymnastic prowess with the X-Treme Air! The move seemingly does more damage to Reid as he collides with Rob the same time his back smashes into the barricade.

The official watches with no recourse as both men lay idle on the outside of the ring.

Aiello: With this being a X-Division Championship match, referee Josh Daniels can only watch and count the decision once its all through.

Bennett: I’m sure he’ll manage to screw that up, too!

Carter: Xavier Reid is as impressive as always but I have to imagine Rob Garcia has some trick up his sleeve now that his usual two on one gambit fell through.

The champion crawls on his belly underneath the ring. It’s only when he is half way under that Reid notices the strange escape attempt. He shakes off the cobwebs and lurches forward and grabs Garcia by the boot. He starts to drag him out but there seems to be a hitch. He yanks harder and forces Garcia onto his back. He pulls him out from under the ring only to reveal Garcia holding a pink flamingo wrapped in barbwire. He jabs the razor sharp lawn ornament into Reid’s midsection. He tosses it into Reid’s hands and then levels him with a basement dropkick!! The barbed wire cuts into Reid’s chest. Rob grabs the flamingo and tosses it into the ring. He turns around then grabs Garcia by an arm and yanks him up this feet. Reid fires back with right hand that knocks Garcia back first into the apron.

Reid with a running start, leaps at Garcia with a flying knee but the champ dodges and the challenger jams his knee into the hard part of the apron.

Garcia gives him no reprieve. He rolls Reid head first into the ring, grabs the flamingo and stomps it down into Reid’s chest again!

Aiello: As ridiculous as that looks, Garcia is cutting Reid to ribbons with that creative use of barbed wire!

Bennett: That’s why he is the King of Extreme!

Carter: Can’t complain about his tactics- as slimy as they are, anything goes, even pink flamingos!!

Garcia climbs up the top rope and moonsaults off and connects, sandwiching the barbed wire in between the two … Reid writhes in agony but so does Garcia! The crowd chants HOLY SHIT as the referee wonders even what to do.

Carter: Wow, really smart of Garcia there.

Bennett: What a champion - willing to sacrifice his body for the greater good. I love that son of a bitch!

Aiello: Garcia looks cut open too but this may just do it…

Rob crawls towards Reid, pushes aside the flamingo and slings an arm over his chest.

2

















Xavier Reid gets a shoulder up in the nick of time!!!

Garcia, showing that he is determined to stay champion doesn’t let frustration get to him. With adrenaline coursing through his body, ignoring the blood on both their bodies, he nails Reid repeatedly with forearm shots to the skull. He glances to the top rope again …

But he makes his way up the top rope gingerly and he perches to the top. He sees Reid getting to his feet, but it's too late- Reid, inadvertently or not, falls against the ropes, forcing Garcia to crotch himself!

Bennett: Nooo, not the little Garcias!!!

Carter: Uh…

Bennett: I mean, the BIG Garcias!

Carter: That’s even more awkward.

Aiello: Reid looks like he is bad shape from that barbed wire assault but we’ve seen him fight through blood and pain before, could this be his moment?

Reid climbs up to the second rope, slings Garcia’s arm over his shoulders, and in a show of innovation, he lifts Garcia over and spikes him headfirst into the top turnbuckle with a brainbuster!

Aiello: That’s gotta be it! X-Odus by the challenger! He could have broke Garcia’s neck!!

Garcia folds up like an accordion and with the mat slick in both of their blood, Reid trips forward and rolls up the champion!!







1












2














GARCIA SLIPS FREE!!!

Bennett: Yes, he’s still champ!!

Carter: That had to be an involuntary spasm!

Aiello: Reid isn’t through yet!!!

Reid grabs onto that arm, and seizes on the shoulder. He smashes Garcia in the face with an elbow and floats over, wrapping around to the dangerous X’ed Out!!!

Garcia struggles in the submission, waving his free arm freely … all of the wriggling allows Garcia to roll Xavier up …

Reid rolls one shoulder up, asserting his dominance through the submission. With nowhere to go, no rope break, and no chance of escape, Rob Garcia feintly taps against Reid’s thigh.

DING DING DING

Stroup: The winner of this match via submission, moving onto the second round of the Undisputed Championship #1 Contender Tournament, and NEW X-DIVISION CHAMPION, XAVIER REID!!

Reid breaks the submission and gets to a knee. The referee hands him the X-Division championship. Garcia remains down and out. Noon, sporting a bloody nose, crawls into the ring to retrieve his friend.

Aiello: Xavier Reid captures his first X-Division Championship right here on Monday Night Brawl. And Brawl was an apt place to have it because it was an unconventional bloody brawl!

Bennett: This is one of the worst nights of my life.

Carter: You end up betting the wrong way or something. I thought you liked Reid.

Bennett: Not since he exposed himself to everyone!

Aiello: Anyway, Xavier has to be elated and well, Garcia - not so much. Maybe we’ll find out when he’s conscious.

Xavier Reid finally gets to his feet and raises his new title in the air as Brawl goes to commercial.

SINGLES MATCH
FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Iggy Swango
VS Griffin Hawkins

---

---

Aiello: It's time for tonight's Main Event!

Carter: This is going to be a great one and it's for the International Championship!

Bennett: What's a main event with no Dominic Sanders? TERRIBLE!

3’s & 7’s” by Queens of the Stone Age hits the arena as the lights dim low before strobing between red and the pitch blackness of the arena. Just as the loud guitar riffs echo throughout the arena the lights starts pulsing red and Iggy Swango emerges from behind the curtain as smog engulfs her. She stands at the top of the stage for a few moments as she nods her head to the rhythm of the music.

Stroup: Standing in at five feet seven inches tall, weighing at one hundred and forty-five pounds, from San Francisco, California, representing Freaks and Geeks, Iggy Swango!!!

Iggy starts bouncing on the stage and rocking out with an air bass playing along with the music before making her way down the ramp. She throws the devil horns with her hands and sticks out her tongue taunting her fans as Red and Black confetti streamers come raining down from above on her way down to the ring. Iggy rolls under the bottom rope and pops up on her knees in the middle of the ring. She slowly stands her to her feet before raising her hands into the air.

Aiello: Iggy showed she's willing to do what it takes to be International champion by defeating her friend Kendrick Kross.

Bennett: Yeah, what a friend!

Carter: Sometimes it has to be done.

The spotlight shines on a young man who seems to be playing a guitar on stage. After playing a long interrupted solo...he strokes the guitar in one fell swoop, setting off the pyro's on stage! The lights come on to reveal Griffin Hawkins! He has his guitar in hand as "Made In Hell" by Rob Halford blasts in. He walks down the ramp, carrying his guitar as he slaps hands with a few fans. Signs reading "Griffin Rocks!" and "EWC gets Metal!" are seen as he comes down the ramp. He sets his guitar by the steps and gets in the ring.

Stroup: Introducing the Champion. Out of Los Angelus. Standing 6'2" and 227 lbs. He is the International Champion, The Rock Soldier, GRIFFIN HAWKINS!

He then proceeds to get on the ropes, taking the belt off his waist and raises it in the air as the crowd cheers him on. Soon he gets off the ropes, taking off his denim vest with various band patches on it off and sets it out of the ring. He gets out of the ring and goes to the front row, putting his aviator sunglasses on a young fan.

Aiello: What a champion we have here on the BRAWL roster!

Bennett: What? Did you forget about Dominic Sanders you idiot?

Carter: I'm excited for this match, it's going to be intense!

The Ref takes Griffin's championship and holds it in the air.

DING DING DING

The match begins with the two meeting in the center of the ring and shaking each others hand. They both step back, Hawkins lunges in trying to hook Iggy, but Iggy ducks, sweeps her leg to trip Hawkins, but Hawkins jumps it. Hawkins throws a kick, Iggy leans back enough for the kick to barely miss and she answers with a spinning roundhouse kick of her own which drops Hawkins to the mat. Iggy reaches down, as she tries to lift Hawkins up, Hawkins grabs her arm, pulls her down into his legs locking in The Cemetery Gates. Iggy pulling at Hawkins leg's fighting the choke, but this makes Hawkins squeeze even more. The ref watching closely as Iggy struggles. She drops to one knee, but pops back to two feet. She tries to lift Hawkins, but Hawkins pulls her in, which also locks the choke tighter. In a last effort, Iggy pushes forward with all of her might stacking Hawkins which causes him to let go of the hold, Iggy falls and Hawkins rolls back to his feet. Iggy pushing herself up, Hawkins steps over her, hooks Iggy by the hips and lifts her up in a powerbomb position. He slams her once, lifts again and slams twice, then again THREE TIMES! Hawkins stacks her for the pin.

KICKOUT IGGY!

Aiello: This is going to be a fantastic match, I can already feel it.

Bennett: Again, how the hell do we have a main event without the Undisputed Champion? We even had Rob lose his belt, this is a terrible night.

Carter: Just watch and enjoy, this is a historic night!

Iggy rolls over grabbing at her side. Hawkins lifts her to her feet and Hawkins whips her into the turnbuckle hard enough for Iggy to as she stumbles forward Hawkins rushes her, leaps up and connects with a codebreaker.

Aiello: BAH GAWD! I can't believe Hawkins just kicked out of that!

Bennett: Dom or Rob could do that too.

Carter: That's why Griffin Hawkins has been one of the best, not just anyone can kick out of Non-Zero Possibilty.

Iggy surprise, slowly get's to her feet. She walks slowly to Hawkins, lifts him to his feet by the arm and whips him into the ropes. She attempts to swing, but Hawkins ducks and continues. On the return Iggy attempts a big Boot that again Hawkins ducks and continues.

Hawkins gets close enough and Iggy leaps up hitting Hawkins with a dropkick. Hawkins rolls, seated in the corner. Iggy back to her feet quickly, runs at Hawkins and attempts a running hip attack, but at the last second Hawkins drops down and pulls himself out of the ring. He reaches in, grabs Iggy by the foot and pulls her to the ground, then drags her out of the ring. Once out, Hawkins throws a hard right that's blocked by Iggy. Iggy attempts one of her own, but that too is blocked by Hawkins. Hawkins throws a side knee to the gut of Iggy, she beds over.
