The opening pyros blast across the stage and here we go.



A wide aerial shot shows that Spectrum Center is electric for Monday Night BRAWL! 

A chant begins of

"MNB!"

"MNB!"

"MNB!"

"MNB!"

A thick layer of fog circles the arena/stadium, and camera flashes repeatedly strobe the area!

The camera feed pans to different areas in the arena/stadium and we see fans cheering in excitement!

The fans are shown smiling, laughing, and pumping their fists in excitement

as fireworks emit from each corner of the ring!

A thick layer of fog surrounds the fans from the firework display.

The show is live... and the excitement is at a fever pitch!

Signs can be seen all over the arena/stadium, some reading: 

"TRUST THE PROCESS"

"GABI VEE BE WITH ME!"

"DOMINIC SAUNDERS!"

"THIS IS MY SIGN!"

"CURTIS MARS CAN BE MY WARDEN!"

and "COLLECTOR, COLLECT ME!"

The camera pans around The Spectrum Center once more. We arrive at the announcers' table where Joe Aiello, Max Carter, and Steve Bennett are standing by.

Aiello: Good evening ladies and gentleman and WELCOME! To EWC MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL! What a show we have for you all tonight! Championship contention, championship opportunities and all around great show, you aren't going to want to miss it!

Carter: Joe is right. Tonight we are going to see Emma Louise against Xavier Reid for the X-Division Championship in our main event. It's a nice change of pace seeing these two in this big spotlight! I expect a good one.

Bennett: Dominic Sanders or any of AMH should be main eventing every episode, not these two. Jon Spartan is a dumb sumbitch.

It is nearing showtime as the EWC talent begin to show up at the Spectrum Center. Xavier Reid has just arrived to a mix of cheers and jeers from the fans gathered behind the security rail, hoping for autographs and selfies. Nikki Dupree and Tlatoani Volando are close behind. The security guards hold the door open for the X-Division Champion and his crew. As he and his associates turn the corner, they stop in their tracks as they hear the theme from Jaws begin to play. Xavier Reid throws the X-Division Title from his right shoulder to his left shoulder, then opens the door from the song seems to be originating. As soon as he enters, he is greeted with a boot to the gut, then feels the cold steel of the pipe come across the back of his head. This mystery man’s laugh can be heard clearly through the Gold mask.

Unknown Assailant: CONGRATS XAVIER. YOU ARE THE LUCKY ONE I CHOSE TO FEEL THE WRATH of EWC’S WORST NIGHTMARE. BUT DON’T WORRY I AM NOT HERE FOR YOUR X-DIVISION TITLE! I GOT BIGGER AND BETTER PLANS! SEE YOU SOON CHUMP!

Nikki Dupree and Tlatoani Volando check on Xavier, calling for security. As a group of burly security guards approach, the assailant drops the pipe. One of the guards just handful of the black Valor jumpsuit with the words "The Ring Shark", but this attacker spins around, driving his elbow into the side of the guards head before he flees from the scene of the crime.

Cameras fade into the backstage area as The Clifton Sisters and Lynx Boyd are seen walking together. They are talking amongst themselves as Brian Spades can be seen walking up to them. Lynx breaks away from her sisters as they stop dead in their tracks.

Spades: Aimee, Ruby, could I trouble you for a few minutes?

Aimee: We are quite busy Brian. We have two teams too demolish.

Brian scratches his head while Ruby pulls the microphone over towards her lips.

Ruby: We are not playing games. Criterion and NSFW have no idea what is coming at them. They will find themselves in a world of hurt.

Spades: Can you tell me what you guys and Lynx were discussing?

Aimee: That isn't for your ears. We just want you to understand that tonight the Cliftons will shock the world. Now if you don't mind we have asses to kick.

Aimee and Ruby blow past Brian as the camera cuts away.

Backstage we see Brian Spades standing by with a microphone in his hand.

Brian Spades: Ladies and Gentlemen tonight we are bringing you episode 530 of Monday Night Brawl! And right now I am expecting to talk to -

A giant hand is shown coming to rest on Brian's left shoulder. The camera pans out to see Maniac Mondo laughing heartily. Antoni Malietoa steps into the frame on Brian's right side. He looks at Brian, then to the camera as Yeshwa is now seen standing next to Antoni.

Brian Spades: Criterion, what....what are you all doing here?

The Collector walks into the picture as he approaches from the left and walks past Mondo.

The Collector: Brian, Brian, Brian.... We are here because Criterion has something to say, don't we boys?

Mondo pushes in front.

Mondo: Tonight is the night you all learn what it means to feel pain! Nothing and nobody can stop the dominance that's coming. Last week wasn't a loss for me. No. It was a loss for everyone who gets in my way here on out.. cause I'm pissed! I'm ready to kill with my bare hands! Consider this Brawl the beginning of the end for the EWC as you know it! If the two jobbers I'm facing tonight leave the ring on a stretcher consider it a miracle that it isn't a bodybag!

The collector grins. 

The Collector: that’s right Mondo! Last week no one knew who Criterion was, but it didn’t stop them from running their mouths about us. So what did we do?

Antoni: We punched them in the mouth! And tonight will be no different. Mondo is ready, I’m ready, The Wonderlust King Yeshwa is ready.

Antoni lightly slaps Yeshwa‘s chest. Yeshwa nods

Antoni: But the EWC universe is not ready. They can’t possibly be ready because they’ve never seen anything like Criterion before. You can’t just close your eyes and hope that we go away because we don’t fall asleep to dream. We are not a nightmare, we are the future of EWC…And the future looks good for Criterion!

Mondo chuckles.

Brian Spades: Fascinating stuff guys, really…. Now can someone get this tree limb off my shoulder please?

Brian is looking at Mondo’s arm. Mondo grabs Brian by the throat and begins to choke him. Yeshwa’s eyes go wide for a few seconds before Mondo releases Brian and walks away. Antoni and Yeshwa walk off screen as well.

The Collector: That’s Mondo when he’s in a good mood. Just remember that.

The Collector walks off screen as the camera fades out.

Laughter can be heard. As the camera pans out it's revealed to be Curtis Mars in his locker room.



Curtis Mars: Sorry, excuse me while I catch my breath here... Antoni, I heard what you had to say about me.

Curtis changes his look, pretending to be frightened.

Curtis Mars: I'm so scared Antoni. You're a big scary man, whatever shall I do?

He puts his finger to his chin as if he's thinking. He then laughs again.

Curtis Mars: I know what we can do Antoni, I've got a pleasant idea. Well, pleasant for me. I say this, you choose the match stipulations, you choose how you want to meet in that ring. Hell, I'll even make it a handicap me verses your oh so scary stable mates, the choice is yours really. Or, if you want a tag match?

Freya Hobs walks into the scene smiling. She stands behind Curtis and rests her hands on his shoulders.

Freya Hobs: We can leave you in Shock... And... AWE!

Curtis Mars: The choice is yours.

Curtis winks at the camera as the screen fades.

TAG TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH (Team leaves after one member has been submitted or pinned.)
NON-TITLE

The Clifton Sisters
VS Criterion (Yeshwa & Antoni Malietoa)
VS NSFW

---

---

Aiello: Starting off the show we have some great Tag Team action! The up and comers Criterion take on the ever dangerous Clifton Sisters and the Tag Team Champions, NSFW!

Bennett: The Collector will collect those belts soon enough.

Carter: Criterion and Clifton Sisters have both lost their debut matches here on BRAWL, but I see fight in both of them. NSFW isn't a team to over look that.

The Collector leads his warriors from behind the curtain. He walks with the confidence of a world champion leading his army. He grins and raises his hands shoulder length and points to the ring firing imaginary guns. Queing them to take their spots in the ring. Mondo shoves past him first and is followed by Antoni. Yeshwa grins at his larger stablemates and speeds up running down the ramp. Mondo and Antoni throw him into the air and he soars over the top rope and rolls through a forward flip to his feet. Mondo and Antoni enter on either side of the ring. Mondo going over the top rope. They spread the ropes apart so The Collector can slip in easily. He enters and points to his Collection as they taunt the crowd.

Stroup: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 479 lbs, accompanied by Maniac Mondo and the Collector, Antoni Malietoa, Yeshwa, CRITERION!

Aiello: This is a different teaming than we had last week. But regardless of all that, this team is dangerous.

Bennett: They also have the Collector, nobody is beating this team!

Carter: Don't doubt the Clifton Sisters nor NSFW.

Bennett: Don't tell me what to do you sumbitch. I'll smack you in the mouth like Criterion is going to do to NSFW!

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. 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.

Stroup: And their opponents. Weighing a combined weight of 258 lbs, Aimee Clifton & Ruby Clifton, THE CLIFTON SISTERS!

Aiello: I know these two are looking to bounce back and show the tag champs they can beat them.

Bennett: They can, but don't forget that Criterion is in this match.

Carter: Don't look past our champs.

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 a fist raised/their titles in the air.

Aiello: And here they are, our tag team champions! This ones going to be good!

Bennett: Can't wait to see the Clifton Sisters and Criterion shut these two up!

Carter: Don't be so sure of that!

Mike, Yeshwa, and Ruby all begin the match.

DING DING DING

The three circle the ring, Ruby decides to turn quickly and throws a strait kick to the side of Mike's knee which drops her to one knee. Ruby then throws a kick to the back of Mike's head. Ruby goes to bend down to grab Mike and before she can do anything else, Yeshwa comes running and hits Ruby with a shining wizard. Yeshwa quick to his feet, Mike beginning to get back up, Yeshwa runs over and nails Mike in the side of the face with a spinning wheel kick. He then runs at ruby and drives his knee into her ribs and she rolls over to her back. Yeshwa stands, turns around and jumps up coming down with a standing moonsault right on top of Ruby and stays on top for the cover.

ONE!...

Mike is able to come running and smash her two forearms into the back of Yeshwa breaking the count. Mike and Yeshwa get to their feet. Yeshwa swings at Mike, Mike ducks and comes up with a hard uppercut to the body of Yeshwa. Mike then throws a kick to the side of Yeshwa's leg, Mike spins and hits a kick to the midsection of Yeshwa that sends him backwards and then Mike lunges forward attempting a clothesline, but Yeshwa is able to duck, jump up and connect with a pale kick to the head of Mike. As Mike falls, Yeshwa back to his feet, Ruby comes flying out of nowhere and takes Yeshwa out at the back of the legs with a diving shoulder. Ruby rolls to her corner, tags in Aimee. Wasting no time, Aimee climbs the turnbuckle and she leaps off attempting a splash onto Yeshwa, but Mike comes running and catches Aimee on the way down with a perfectly placed uppercut to Aimee's jaw, which seemingly knocks her unconscious. Mike goes for the cover.

ONE!...

TWO!...

Yeshwa grabs Mike by the feet and yanks her off, hard. He lifts Mike to her feet, and Yeshwa throws Mike into Criterion's corner. Yeshwa runs at her, he attempts to dive and drive his shoulder into Mike, but Mike quickly rolls out of the way and Yeshwa drives shoulder first into the turnbuckle. As he is hungup onto the ropes, Antoni tags himself in. As Antoni begins climbing into the ring, Mike charges and smashes him in the side of the face with a knee which knocks him off of the ring apron to the outside.

Aiello: Mike seems to be taking control right now!

Bennett: Don't count out Criterion, these guys were collected for a reason!

Carter: This match is far from over boys.

Mike starts to run towards Church to tag herself in, but as she get's close, from behind Aimee wraps runs, jumps up wrapping around Mike's neck and drops back with a DDT. Aimee get's back to her feet and lunges backwards with an elbow that hits Church in the gut. Aimee then runs, and baseball slides foot first into the face of Mike. Aimee gets up, helps pick up Mike to her feet. Aimee whips Mike into the ropes, but before she hits the ropes, Antoni is back in the ring, sprints at her and nails Mike with a spear. Antoni get's to his feet, he sees Aimee running to her corner, but he cuts off the ring tackling her with another vicious spear. Aimee staggers to her feet, Antoni hooks her from behind in a pump handle, he lifts Aimee up, but before he can finish RESURECTION he get's dropkicked from behind which sends him into the ropes dropping Aimee on the outside. Aimee falls hard onto the ring apron and then to the outside of the ring, Mike rolls up Antoni as he bounces off of the ropes.

ONE!...

Church rolls taking Antoni down with a leg drag takedown. Church wraps up both legs of Antoni and from the mat lifts Antoni into the air and slams him down with a powerbomb.

Antoni pushes himself to his feet, but Ruby runs and jumps up hitting him with a famouser. She rolls Antoni over and goes for the cover.

ONE!...

TWO!...

KICKOUT!

Aiello: I think it might take a lot more than that to finish off a guy like Antoni.

Bennett: She's not collecting a victory that easily!

Carter: We are in for a great one. This match has been insane with none of them getting the upper hand so far.

Church grabs Ruby's leg, rolls over and locks on a vicious ankle lock. Ruby trying hard to crawl to her corner. She's unable to fight off Church's strength. She wants to tap as Church squeezes tighter and tighter. Ref watches closely, but Aimee rushes in the ring, runs at Church and dropkicks him in the chest causing him to let go of the hold, church falls backwards into Antoni, Antoni wraps Church up around the belly and delivers a nasty suplex.

Meantime, Ruby was able to tag in Aimee, Aimee runs at Antoni, but Antoni ducks an attack from behind. As Aimee turns, Antoni kicks her in the gut, wraps up her neck and delivers an evenflow ddt to complete MALOSI!

Antoni throws his arm over Aimee.

ONE!...

Yeshwa runs in and nails Ruby with a lariat knocking her back over the ropes as she tries to stop the count.

TWO!...

THREE!

Stroup: The Clifton Sisters have been eliminated!

Aiello: Wow, what a vicious move by Antoni. The Criterion is the real deal, let's see how serious NSFW took them.

Bennett: I think Criterion will be collecting a well deserved victory tonight!

Carter: Can't ever count out Mike and Bishop. These two are seasoned veterans here in the EWC and hold those championships for a reason.

Yeshwa back to his corner. Church to his feet, Antoni to his. The two meet at the center of the ring. They get face to face staring one another down. Antoni breaks this stare by throwing a punch, Church answers and the two begin going blow for blow in the center of the ring. Antoni blocks a shot from Church and then Antoni drives his knee into the gut of Church, Antoni hooks his head and lifts Church effortlessly up for a suplex, but Church drives his knee down into the head of Antoni, which causes him to drop Chuch.

Carter: Well, Mike just kicked out...

Yeshwa back to his feet, he turns and leaps up to hit Mike with a standing moonsault, but Mike gets her knees up and Yeshwa crashes down onto them. Grabbing at his belly, he pushes himself to his feet as Mike pushes herself up. Once tot heir feet, Mike lets go a combination of punches to the gut and face of Yeshwa driving Yeshwa back.

THHHRRR

Aiello: Another last second kick out by Mike. This woman is a tough cookie!

Bennett: There's a reason she was never Collected you idiot.

Carter: There's also a reason NSFW hold the tag team championships.

Bennett: Yeah, because Criterion haven't been here until now.

Yeshwa up, he attempts to start picking up Mike, but Mike kicks his face and spins around tripping Yeshwa up at the feet causing him to fall. Mike spins around, dives and tags in Church. Church wraps up Yeshwa from behind delivering a suplex once, two, three, four, five times sending Yeshwa flying through the air on the final throw.

ONE!...

TWO!...

THREE!

DING DING DING

Stroup: Ladies and gentleman, your winners. The EWC Tag Team Champions. NSFW!

Aiello: Wow, they did it! But they are leaving this match knowing they were in a hell of a fight!

Bennett: They got lucky. I think Mike poked Yeshwa in the eyes and then when Antoni went to go check he got kneed in the head. I'm calling for a rematch!

Carter: Regardless, great win by NSFW tonight!

We move to a commercial break.

Cameras show Lynx Boyd is glued to the monitor as her arms are crossed in front of her chest. She doesn't look to impressed by her sisters as she smirks.

Lynx: Looks like I will have to be the one who shocks the world. My sisters were good but I shall be better.

Lynx turns her right foot to leave when she knocks Brian Spades onto his ass. She stares at him while keeping her arms crossed.

Lynx: Do you ever watch where you are going?

Brian picks himself up off the ground as Lynx just looks at him.

Brian: I am sorry Ms. Boyd. I was on my way to speak with someone when I bumped into you.

Lynx: I see. You didn't want to talk to me. I get it. Why wouldn't you want a winner to talk too? You have so many insignificant people then you got me. I am more important than Griffin and Jaime Pressely combined. In fact, I will show the world that Mondo and Arsenal are going to leave on a stretcher. I should not be underestimated. Brawl will be my playground. After tonight, my sights will be on the X Division Championship. Now if you will excuse me.

Lynx walks out of the shot as Brian is left scratching his head.

TRIPLE THREAT

Lynx Boyd
VS AOP aka Arsenal
VS Maniac Mondo

---

---

Aiello: WOW! What a tag match that was and now it's another Triple Threat. We've got Lynx Boyd, Arsenal, and Maniac Mondo all competing against one another. This should be a fun one!

Bennett: I trust the process, but that chokeslam is going to break these other two! This one is tough to choose, Lynx Boyd too, sumbitch this is going to be exciting!

Carter: I agree with you two. Let's get this thing started!

Sroup: Please welcome Lynx Boyd

Lynx Boyd steps through the curtain right as "It's not you" by Halestorm starts to play. A loud boo comes over the crowd as Lynx shrugs them off. She walks down the ramp slowly while mocking the fans in the front row. She leaps up onto the ring apron. She teases them before stepping through the ropes the normal way. She walks around the ring before stopping in the center and crossing her arms.

Bennett: Now, here's a beautiful and deadly superstar. Lynx Boyd, looking to make a name for herself. I like it.

Carter: Her entire family are great wrestlers, so I'm sure Lynx Boyd will deliver.

Aiello: She's hoping to do better than her sisters last week, tough match for her tonight. But tough doesn't mean it can't be done.

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 is a monster among men. He didn't fair well against Emma Louise last week, but Arsenal's raw power can't be looked over.

Bennett: Trust the Process you idiot.

Carter: I'm glad to see him still at it. Losses can be discouraging, but I see potential in him.

Bennett: It's all part of the process.

Stroup: Now making his way to the ring, from The House on the Edge of the Park he’s standing at an impressive 6’10 and weighing in tonight at an astonishing 344lbs...THIS IS MANIAC MOOONNDDOO!!!!

Tears of Blood by Biohazard hits and Maniac Mondo comes marching from behind the curtain with The Collector in tow. He circles the ring, climbs to the apron, and enters over the top rope. As the lyrics kick in, Mondo climbs to the second rope and intimidates the audience.

Aiello: I tell you, this guy scares the hell out of me.

Bennett: Of course he does, that sumbitch is in love with his chokeslam. But, lucky for us he as his guy already picked out.

Carter: He is a legitimate monster. The Collector is an odd bastard, but he seems to know what he's doing here. He's designing an army!

DING DING DING

The match begins with AOP rushing Maniac. Maniac Throws his foot up, but AOP dives and drives his shoulder into the other knee of Maniac, causing Maniac to topple over. Lynx runs, leaps up and dropkicks AOP in the back which pushes him into the corner. As AOP bounces off of the corner Lynx dives taking him out at the back of the legs causing him to fall. As Lynx get's back to her feet, she is met with a lariat by Maniac which sends her flying over the top rope. Maniac grabs ahold of AOP, lifts him to his feet. Maniac drives his knee into the gut of AOP, lifts him up for a powerbomb and then slams him hard into the turnbuckle, AOP bounces off and Maniac wraps him up and nails AOP with a belly to belly and then Maniac stays on top for the cover.

ONE!...

TWO!...

The fall is broken up by Lynx coming flying off of the turnbuckle driving her elbow into the back of Maniac.

Aiello: What a save by Lynx Boyd!

Bennett: Yea, that's the smarts of that family.

Carter: I think this match is far from over.

A Maniac begins to rise to his feet, Lynx reaches out and yanks his hair back. She lifts her free hand and delivers a hard slap across his face. Seemingly, the slap only angers him as he still continues to rise. She tries again, this time Maniac catches her hand and then delivers a headbutt to her nose which sends her back into the ropes, on the return she is tossed up into the air and as she comes down Maniac nails her with a European uppercut that flattens her and her nose is bleeding badly. Before Maniac can make another move, AOP rolls him up.

ONE!...

TWO!...

TH

KICKOUT by Maniac. Both Maniac and AOP get back to their feet. AOP throws a kick to the gut of Maniac. AOP jams Maniac's head between his legs and lifts him up in a powerbomb position. AOP circles the ring, jumps up and slams Maniac down with a sit-out powerbomb and stays there for the cover.

ONE!...

TWO!...

The pin is saved by Lynx bouncing off of the ropes and delivering a hard knee to the temple of AOP.

Aiello: Again Lynx Boyd with an incredible save!

Bennett: That's family experience guys. But if Maniac manages to get ahold of her, she's in trouble

Carter: I think all three of them have a shot tonight.

As Maniac pushes himself to his feet, Lynx wipes blood from her nose, then she digs her nails into the forehead of Maniac and slides them down his face including his eyes. Leaving a trail of blood where each nail dug in. Maniac springs up covering his eyes. Lynx senses AOP behind her, she ducks an attack, AOP continues at Maniac, hooks around Maniac's body and AOP delivers a nasty belly to belly. Lynx walks over and hooks AOP by the head as he begins to get up, AOP attempts to lift her, but Lynx throws her body back delivering a devastating implant DDT on AOP and rolls him over for the cover.

ONE!...

TWO!...

It's broken up when Maniac, still blinking fast, wipes blood from his eyes and effortlessly lifts Lynx up, runs and drives her hard shoulder first into the ring post. Lynx falls to the outside of the ring grabbing at her shoulder.

Aiello: Bah gawd! Look at that power! He made that look easy!

Bennett: That sumbitch is a maniac!

Carter: Safe to say that. This match is getting crazy, look at the blood.

Bennett: I love it!

Maniac turns around to face AOP, he assists AOP on getting back to his feet. Maniac grabs AOP with two hands and tosses him into the corner. Maniac walks towards AOP and delivers a hard uppercut which takes AOP's feet off of the mat and causes him to crash down on his butt, still leaning into the corner. Maniac takes his foot and begins driving it hard into AOP's face putting more and more pressure on it. On the outside ring apron, Lynx walks towards them, holds the top rope and leaps up throwing a kick that was meant for Maniac's face but he catches it. He continues to hold Lynx by her legs as she dangles over the top rope. Maniac walks, pulling her as he moves. Maniac hooks her ankle and drops back as if he was giving a ddt to her foot, but it uses the ropes to put pressure onto her knee and then Lynx gets flung off of the rope, back to the outside grabbing at her knee. Maniac runs towards AOP and drives his knee hard into his face. Maniac pulls AOP off of the ropes and goes into cover.

ONE!...

TWO!...

THRR

Somehow AOP manages to kickout!

Aiello: Wow, I don't know how, but Arsenal is still in this!

Bennett: That's because it's two people in one. It's like Venom, how does anybody beat that?

Carter: This is turning into a great match!

Maniac slaps the ground as he lifts AOP to his feet, but on the way up AOP hooks Maniac's legs and delivers a Samoan drop. AOP lifts Maniac to his feet, he lifts him up in a fireman's carry, AOP spins out, jumps up with a facebuster completing TRUST MY PROCCESS! But, before he can go into cover Lynx Boyd comes sprinting over, dropkicks AOP in the butt which causes him to fall forward and through the ropes to the outside of the ring. Lynx covers Maniac.

ONE!...

TWO!...

THREE!...

DING DING DING

Aiello: MY GOD! LYNX BOYD DID IT! The smallest in the ring, she pulled it off!

Bennett: She trusted the process and it paid off for her.

Carter: What a win, all three of these competitors should be happy with themselves, but Lynx Boyd deserves that victory by showing her in-ring smarts!

Bennett: You dumb sumbitch, you don't win, there's nothing to be happy about. At least there is a lot of blood and I can be happy about that.


We move to a commercial break.

We go backstage where Ace Heart is present.

Brian Spade: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest..Griffin Hawkins!

Griffin comes into the shot as the crowd begins cheering.

Brian Spade: Griffin, tonight you face Kendrick Kross in the tournament for the Number One Contendership to the Undisputed Title. But did you happen to catch the Champion Dominic Sanders' comments last week?

Griffin Hawkins: Yes I heard the words that Dudley Douchebag has been popping off at the mouth about. Really..what is it with people talking trash from afar..but never to your face? That's a question for another day. See, Dominic can talk all kinds of smack and put on this arrogant facade about how he doesn't care who is the number one contender..but you know the truth is? He DOES care. The cat is scared shitless. He sees guys like me, guys like Xavier, and guys like Kendrick Kross a threat to him. He wishes he could face Emma Louise because he thinks that'd be an easy match. He won't admit it because his ego won't allow it. Why else hasn't he faced someone like Ace King who's the longest U.S Champion of all time? Because he sees him as a threat. He sees all of us as a threat..especially me.

Brian Spade: That's a pretty bold statement Griffin.

Griffin Hawkins: Last time me and him got in the ring to fight and there was a title on the line, who was it that left with it? Me. He can save face and lie to everyone and himself and say that he "let me win" but the truth is, he LOST the International title to me and hasn't done a damn thing about it since. If I done that, you think he'd want to face me for the Undisputed Title? Hell no. He can surround himself with those group of sycophants called America's Most Irrelevant or whatever cliche name he can come up with..but whether I win this tourney or not, me and him will fight for that title sooner or later for that title. But Frankly..I'd much rather win this thing and become the number one contender.

Brian Spade: What about your opponent tonight? Kendrick Kross?

Griffin Hawkins: Well if I wanna win this..I gotta get past Kendrick. Me and him have already fought before...he won a battle...I won a battle. It's been neck and neck between the two of us. But this time there are bigger things on the line, a chance to main event the biggest stage in our industry and fight for the richest prize in the sport. If I gotta out wrestle Kendrick...I'll out wrestle him. If I gotta out cheat him, then I'll out cheat him. In times like this, everyone is fighting to be on the Stranglemania Card. I didn't think I'd be back in this company fighting for the chance..yet here I am. Tonight me and Kendrick are going to go to war.

Brian Spade: Let's say you beat Kendrick tonight..you then move on to the finals and face the winner of Emma Louise and Xaiver Reed. Which one would you rather face?

Griffin Hawkins: Well it may sound biased...but I'd much rather face Xavier. Like me, he's had to scratch and claw his way to the top, being told by management that he's not good enough to be a champion to represent the brand. The two of us worked hard to get where we're at...we didn't kiss the boss's ass to get to the top like most others of the past have done, we earned it..so it'd be poetic if the tournament ends with two of Brawl's finest giving those people the match of the decade. But right now..It's time to rock.

He walks off as we go to the ring.

SINGLES MATCH
(Winner advances to the finals of the Undisputed Contender tournament.)

Kendrick Kross
VS Griffin Hawkins

---

---

Aiello: And now folks, we bring you more tournament action! Kendrick Kross, Griffin Hawkins; who will move on and continue their quest to face Dominic Sanders at Stranglemania for the Undisputed Championship?

Bennett: Well Kross beat Darius a couple of weeks ago to advance ... So I'm rooting for Hawkins.

Carter: That is a really weak mindset.

'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: Kross is coming fresh off of a victory against Orion Samson last week. Can he keep riding that momentum?

Bennett: Nope.

Carter: Would you cut it out? Kross is looking ready to face Hawkins tonight!

Stroup: Entering the ring right now, from Windsor Ontario Canada....put your hands together for Griffin Hawkins!

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

He then proceeds to get on the ropes, raising the devil horns in the air as the crowd cheers him on. Soon he gets off the ropes, taking off his denim vest with various band patches on it off and sets it out of the ring. He gets out of the ring and goes to the front row, putting his aviator sunglasses on a young fan. After he gets in the ring, he waits for the referee to call for the bell.

Aiello: Griffin Hawkins defeated Lynx Boyd last week to move forward in this tournament; some could say the momentum is on his side tonight.

Bennett: I hope it is! Anything is better than Kross tonight.

DING DING DING

The bell rings and Kross fires the first shot, connecting with a swift kick to the abdomen of Hawkins, making him double over as the wind is knocked out of him. Kross rebounds off of the ropes and leaps over Hawkins, catching him and planting him to the mat with a sunset flip! Kross puts his legs over Hawkins’ shoulders and pushes Hawkin’s legs forward for the pin;

1!

Kickout!

Hawkins quickly gets the shoulder up and pulls himself back to his feet. Kross attempts to take Hawkins back down with a step-up enziguri, but Hawkins shoves Kross back down to the ground. As Kross gets back to his feed, Hawkins jumps up, brings Kross’ face into his knees, and takes him down with a codebreaker! Hawkins dives onto Kross and hooks the leg!

1!

Kickout!

Aiello: Nonstop action from the start! These two men are trying to finish this early on!

Carter: You’ve got that right! This could either be a very quick match or a very long match! Both still have a lot left in the tank!

Both men are back to their knees, grinning at each other for a moment before starting to trade blows with one another. Kross gets the upper hand, managing to daze Hawkins for a moment long enough to get back to his feet. Kross lands a few kicks to the chest of Hawkins, then connects with a step-up enziguri for real this time, dropping Hawkins to the mat! Kross goes for the cover;

1!

2!

Kickout!

Kross sits up looking frustrated but wastes no time getting to his feet. He picks Hawkins up and whips him into the opposite corner, then runs at him and leaps onto the middle rope, standing over Hawkins head. Kross lands a few stiff hands down onto Hawkins, but then Hawkins takes hold of the trunks, hoists Kross up, and plants him with a powerbomb!

Hawkins holds onto the tights, lifts Kross again, and plants him with yet another powerbomb! Hawkins lifts Kross once more, then runs across the ring with him, then powerbombs him into the opposite turnbuckle!

Kross stumbles forward, nearly collapsing, but Hawkins catches him and then tosses him to the middle of the ring with the Master Exploder Suplex! Hawkins drops down onto Kross and hooks both legs;

1!

2!

Thr - KICKOUT!

Bennett: Come on, ref! Stop counting slow!

Aiello: That wasn’t a slow count! Kross just barely kicked out! Hawkins almost had this in the bag!

Hawkins gets back to his feet and stands Kross up with him, then tosses Kross into the ropes. Kross rebounds off from the ropes and flies at Hawkins, connecting with a pele kick! Kross then takes Hawkins and whips him into the corner, runs at him, and drives his knees up into Hawkins’ chest, then brings him down and flips him over into the center of the ring.

Carter: Kross has come back with a second wind! He is on fire!

Aiello: He is all over Hawkins and is showing no sign of slowing down!

Kross rolls to the center of the ring and scoops Hawkins up onto his shoulders and applies a torture rack for a moment, then slams Hawkins down with a rack bomb he calls the Rack of Ribs! Kross then scales the top turnbuckle, as Hawkins rolls towards the center of the ring, then soars from the top and plants both feet into Hawkins’ chest with a coup de gras!

Aiello: Post Mortem! It’s all over!

Kross hooks both legs and goes for the cover;

1!

2!

3!

DING DING DING

Stroup: Here is your winner … Kendrick Kross!

Aiello: What an excellent match between these two! Congratulations to Kendrick Kross!

Bennett: Man, Hawkins was whooping ass. How did he lose?!

Carter: Hawkins indeed do well, but Kross was better and got the three count! He is moving onto the finals!






We move to a commercial break.

The camera cut backstage where the the Brawl EMT’s and doctors are gathered around and treating X-Division Champion Xavier Reid as Nikki Dupree and Tlatoani Volando walk into the medical center with two Brawl security guards

Nikki Dupree: It’s like I told you, we heard music…

Tlatoani Volando: The theme from Jaws, you know...duunnn dunnn... duuuunnnn duun... duuunnnnnnnn dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnn dunnnn…

Nikki Dupree: It was coming from behind a door, I was just about to tell Xavier don’t to open the door…

Tlatoani starts waving his hands in the air wildly

Tlatoani Volando: ‘Oh don’t you go in there...I told him not to do it…”

Tlatoani stops when he notices everyone is looking at him

Tlatoani Volando: What, it’s like that crazy lady in the movie theater that talks through all the scary movies…

Nikki Dupree: Anyways I was just about to say something when Xavier was kicked in the gut…

Tlatoani Volando: Sucker kicked…

Nikki Dupree: And before we could pull him away the person cracked Xavier across the back of the head with that pipe…

Tlatoani Volando: Did you guys send that pipe out to be fingerprinted…

Nikki Dupress: And that’s when you guys got there…

Tlatoani Volando: The EWC’s Worst Nightmare, that’s what he called himself…

Nikki Dupree: He was wearing a golden mask…

The Brawl Security team looks over at Tlatoani…

Tlatoani Volando: My mask is yellow dude…

Xavier Reid: Tlatoani was right behind me, it wasn’t him…

Jon Spartan: But we are going to get to the bottom of this Xavier, I promise you that…

Brawl Assistant GM Jon Spartan walks into the room with Brian Spades and his cameraman in toe

Nikki Dupree: You better, one of your champions was assaulted here tonight and I want to know how this man was able to get by your security here tonight…

Tlatoani Volando: Yeah, how do we know it wasn’t one of you all…

Tlatoani sizes up the two guards

Xavier Reid: Jon I want the name of the man that was under that mask…

Tlatoani Volando: Yeah well he said he had ‘bigger and better plans than the X-Division Championship’...

Xavier Reid: Yeah well he hit me with a damn pipe so I don’t give a damn what his plans are...I own his future…

Jon looks at the doctor who turns off the light that he was using to look into Xavier’s eyes

Jon Spartan: How is he doc?

Doctor: Well I don’t think he has a concussion but I would still hold him out tonight just to be safe…

Xavier Reid: Fuck that, I’m not losing my championship or my spot in the Semi-Finals because of some Liberace mask wearing asshole…

Doctor: It’s his call Jon, I can only recommend…

Xavier Reid: I’m not missing this match tonight...end of discussion…

Xavier stands up

Xavier Reid: And I want a name Spartan…

Jon Spartan: I promise we will find out who hit you but about tonight Xavier…

Xavier Reid: I’ll be in my locker room getting ready…

Xavier brushes off the EMT’s as he makes his way out of the medical center

Nikki Dupree: I’ll keep an eye on him until match time, if I see anything odd from him I’ll call you…

Jon Spartan: Please do Miss Dupree, I don’t want one of my champions putting their health at risk…

Tlatoani Volando: And I’ll go with these two guards and we will smoke this guy out...anyone got an extra taser gun or bullet proof vest…

Nikki Dupree: Tlatoani you will come with me, let the professionals handle this and stay out of their way…

Nikki grabs Tlatoani by the arm and drags him out of the room as Jon looks at the security and motions with his head to get going

SINGLES MATCH

Gannondorf
VS Gabrielle Visconty

---

---

Aiello: Alright. I’m not sure how to talk about this next match.

Bennett: Do your job, you son of a bitch!

Aiello: I am … okay, let’s try this again. Next up, Gabrielle Visconty takes on Gannondorf. Yeah, that guy.

Carter: Hey! I’m with Bennett for once, let’s hear about him.

Aiello: I… I don’t know what to say even.

Stroup: The following match is scheduled for one fall!

”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.

Stroup: First, now residing in Honolulu, Hawaii, representing Future Stars of Wrestling, GABRIELLE VISCONTY!

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.

Aiello: Gabi Vee is here for some Brawl action but in just two nights, she has her first ever championship opportunity. You gotta think that Joe Hustler is watching with keen interest.

Bennett: With the Jergens, son.

Carter: Vile.

The lights flash in time to the beat of The Evil King by Nation Sharp and as lyrics begin, Gannondorf descends from the rafters facing back first slowly to a fog of smoke below as it fades.

Stroup: And her opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 166 pounds, “The Evil King” Gannondorf!

He turns around and walks menacingly to the ring.

Aiello: I can’t get a read on this guy. Or his partner. Regardless, Gannondorf is an excellent athlete and Gabrielle should not take him lightly.

Bennett: Look at him. Remember that Billy Mitchell? This guy’s long loins has him beat!
Carter: Uh, okay.

DING DING DING

Gabrielle and Gannondorf stand at the ready. Gabi raises an eyebrow at the green skinned man. Before anything can happen, The Evil King retrieves a microphone from his back pocket.

Gannondorf: GABRIELLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!!

He raises his fist into the air and clenches it dramatically.

Gannondorf: Fool!!!! I see you like to play games!! I do, too! Mind games … games of the body! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAAAAAA! BEAR WITNESS TO THE MEANS OF MY VICTORY! GET A LOAD OF THIS!!

He produces a small capsule from his sleeve and then throws it into the mat. The ring fills with smoke.

Aiello: ...what?

Gabi Vee backs away just out of the range of the smoke as her vision of Gannondorf obscures. She looks at Paul Turner. Turner shrugs like ‘what is he gonna do?’

When the smoke clears, Gannondorf is gone!

Aiello: So, he left?

Bennett: The son of a bitch just disappeared right in thin air.

Carter: 10 bucks says he is under the ring.

Gabi gives Turner the side eye.

Visconty: Well, count him out already!

But after all of that, Gabi Vee is rolled up. The Evil King is just three seconds away from completing his master plan!!!

Visconty just barely manages escape from the tall man’s trickery! As she gets to her feet, Gannondorf takes her over with a hip toss and then smacks right in the skull with the BIG BOOT!!

Aiello: Whoa! He just turned Gabi inside out with that kick!!

Carter: Maybe he was onto something.

Bennett: I told you, this green space alien lookin’ guy has some smarts!

The second generation star despite having her bell rung shows the fortitude to roll onto apron. Gannondorf sizes her up with malicious intentions as she slowly gets to her feet. He charges with that nasty BIG BOOT once again but Gabi Vee shows some more smarts, by playing possum and steps out of the way. Gannondorf’s knee gets caught on over the top rope and The Angel drives the point of her elbow into his knee before shoving him backwards. She climbs up the top rope, leaps off, diving crossbody!! Gannondorf catches her and while his knee buckles, he scoops her up and slams Gabi to the mat!! He raises his hand into air …

Aiello: Gannondorf is wasting little time. He’s done a lot of research on Ms. Visconty and he knows the longer this goes, the more chances she’ll have. Here comes his devastating GerudoBomb!

He grabs Gabi by the throat just as she stumbled to her feet. He lifts her up in the air but Visconty delivers another sharp elbow to the side of the near seven footer’s neck. She drops to her feet and and kicks the big man right in the patella, driving him down to one knee. She backs away, bouncing off the ropes, and with some momentum she charges right into a tilt a whirl headscissors but Gannondorf flips her out of it. She quickly adapts and lands on her feet but Gannondorf grabs her by the arm and whips her into turnbuckle corner. She stops on a dime, turns around and leaps on the second rope, dropping Gannondorf face first across her knees with the JAWBREAKER!!! With a bit of a struggle, Gabi rolls the big man over and hooks the leg!

DING DING DING

Stroup: The winner of this match via pinfall, GABRIELLE VISCONTY!

With a remnant of the smoke bomb remaining, Gabi Vee gets the V after two knees to Gannondorf’s face. She gets to close to the camera and tells Joe Hustler that he’s next.

Aiello: Despite some clever tricks, Gannondorf could not pull it out against the up and coming second generation star. Gabrielle takes major momentum into her television title match on Uprising!

Bennett: I couldn’t see shit because of that orange haired son of a bitch!

Carter: Maybe it’s better that way.

Aiello: Maybe so. While the smoke, literally, clears, let’s get to commercial break. See you on the other side!




We move to a commercial break.

X-DIVISION RULES
(Winner becomes #1 Contender to the X-Division championship)

Darius
VS Curtis Mars

---

---

Aiello: It's time to get extreme! Up next, we will see Darius go one on one against Curtis Mars in an X-Division rules match!

Carter: And the winner will become the number one contender for the X-Division championship!

Bennett: The E in Extreme vs. The Warden of Extreme ... LET THERE BE BLOOD!

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.

Aiello: Darius is looking fresh and ready after coming off of that victory against Jon Spartan last week!

Bennett: Victory? He destroyed our GM and I loved every second of it!

Carter: I think this may be the first opponent Darius faces that could possibly match his level of extreme ... It will be a change of pace from last week!

As Darius' music ends, he walks over to the ropes and calls for a microphone. One of the crew members hands him a microphone, then he makes his way to the opposite side of the ring and leans on the ropes facing the stage and looking at the camera closest to him with a crazed look in his eye.



Darius: Ladies and gentlemen ... The following match is an X-Division rules match between Curtis Mars and Darius. The winner will become the number one contender for the X-Division championship. Some viewers may find the match to be disturbing, disgusting, and downright murderous. Viewer discretion is advised.

Darius chuckles to himself then slowly backs to the center of the ring.

Darius: I'm going to keep this short and sweet, just like Curtis Mars. As you all know, this last week there were some ... verbal confrontations between Curtis and I. While they were not direct, things were definitely said that were meant to stir the other up.

Everything I said came from the heart, I just called it like I saw it; Curtis Mars wants to be Darius. It's simple really, his first match was in a steel cage, he partnered up with Emma Louise, and he talks with some dude named Doctor Strange about how he is feeling and the shit going on in his life. It is all very similar to what I have brought to the EWC thus far ...

I brought the house down with my first match inside of a steel cage, against Joe Doe and ... You guessed it; Emma Louise. I even let you all in on my private life a bit and let it be known that I was seeking help from Dr. Boe. I never guessed that someone would take all of this information about me and try to make themselves into a second rate version of myself ...

Darius faces the main camera in the crowd and just stares daggers into it.

Darius: And that is all you will ever be, Curtis. Second rate. You will never live up to my standards, you will never bring intensity like I bring intensity, you will ... never ... be ... ME.

Darius runs his hand through his hair, pulls on it a bit, then looks back to the ramp, pointing at the stage.

Darius: You talked a whole lotta' big game, kid. You tried to undermine me, called me a fraud, claimed to be more extreme than I am ... Hell, you even said that the title Warden of Extreme makes you my boss; I hate to break it to you kid, but you don't want that to be true, we all saw what happened the last time one of my bosses stepped between those ropes to get into the ring with me.

Darius turns to the camera, cracks a wide smile, then looks back to the ramp.

Darius: You say you are going to do your best to make sure you won't put me back onto the shelf. Cool, thanks I guess? I won't return the favor. There is a very likely chance that tonight will be the last time you ever compete inside of a ring. I'm going to put your mind, body, and spirit to the ultimate test. I am going to bring a world of hurt down onto you so fierce that you will wish you had never signed with the EWC.

So bring your toys, bring your staff, bring whatever the hell you want, Curtis ... Just do me this one favor.

...

Bring the warden.

Darius throws the microphone to the outside, walks to his corner, and waits for Curtis to come out.

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.

Bennett: I can't wait for Darius to wipe the smile off of that creeps face.

Aiello: I wouldn't be so certain so soon ... These two are probably going to tear each other apart!

Carter: With gold on the line, I wouldn't be surprised!

DING DING DING

The bell sounds off and both men slowly begin to circle each other around the ring, eyes locked onto one another, waiting for the other to make the first move. After a full loop around the ring, Darius stops at his turnbuckle with a wide grin on his face, then proceeds to exit through the ropes. Curtis looks on confused, holding his arms out in the air, questioning Darius’ actions.

On the outside, Darius throws the ring apron up and starts to browse through the hardware under the ring. He pulls out a crowbar, a metal trash can, a steel chain, and then a bag filled with an assortment of wooden and metal baseball bats. He tosses the crowbar, can, and chain into the ring, takes the bag under his arm, and then rolls back into the ring. He gets to his feet and dumps the bats into the center of the ring, then tosses the bag off to the side.

Aiello: There must be ten bats in the ring right now! Curtis said he was going to bring those for Darius to use here tonight but it looks like Darius was one step ahead and knew where they were!

Bennett: Of course he did, he is smart! Curtis thinks he is smart, but Darius is smarter!

Darius kicks one of the bats over to Curtis, but Curtis just ignores it, then exits the ring. He then also starts to search under the ring but only pulls out a single object; his bo staff, and then slides back into the ring. Darius has the steel chain in his hand, whirling it around menacingly as Curtis starts to swing the staff all around his head and body with little effort but amazing dexterity.

Darius then charges at Curtis and lashes out with the chain, but Curtis deflects the chain with his staff! Curtis attempts to sweep Darius off of his feet with the staff, but Darius jumps up over it and then whips the chain down across Curtis’ back with a sickening crack! Curtis nearly drops to the mat but manages to hold himself up with the staff, but is quickly stuck with another whip from the chain, this time bringing him down to the mat!

Darius laughs loudly, mocking Curtis as he brings himself to his hands and knees, and then viciously whips Curtis in the back multiple times, leaving bruises, welts, and bleeding lacerations. Darius then drops the chain to the mat and moves the trash can closer to Curtis, putting over Curtis’ head and shoulders. Darius looks around at the crowd with a wide grin, then back down at Curtis.

Aiello: What does he have planned here?!

Bennett: I’m hoping he is going to start smashing that crowbar down onto him!

Carter: It looks like Darius is setting up for the Mindspike … That sickening curb stomp.

Darius backs up into the turnbuckle, amps himself up, then runs at Curtis, leaping into the air and bringing his foot down hard for the stomp, but Curtis manages to roll out of the way! Darius stomps down onto the mat and looks in Curtis’ direction, only to see the trash can fly into his face.

Darius manages to catch the can, but Curtis leaps up and superman punches the can into Darius’ face! Darius stumbles back, still holding onto the can, and then Curtis runs to the ropes, leaps off from them, and connects with a springboard dropkick, the can into Darius’ face! Darius falls back into the turnbuckle dazed, so Curtis picks up the mangled can and brings it down onto Darius’ forehead, busting him wide open and knocking him down to the mat! Curtis tosses the can off to the side and hooks the leg!

1!

2!

Kickout!

Bennett: Not even close! It’ll take more than that to beat Darius!

Aiello: He nearly got the three and Darius is now wearing the crimson mask, the hell are you on about?

Curtis takes his bo staff back into his hands, looks down at Darius, then starts striking with quick and precise attacks, targeting the knees and shins of Darius! Darius tries to block the blows but is unable to do so. He then grabs the bottom rope and pulls himself out of the ring and onto the floor below, nursing his knees and attempting to clean the blood away from his eyes as Curtis smiles down at him in the ring.

Curtis slips to the outside once more and methodically approaches Darius, whirling the staff around him once again. Darius starts to pull himself under the ring, but Curtis takes hold of one of Darius’ legs and pulls him out from underneath …

but then is blasted in the face with a fire extinguisher! Curtis falls back, wiping away at his eyes, as Darius slowly stands to his feet, trying to kick away the pain from his knees. Darius then aims the extinguisher at Curtis once more and continues to blast him, then cracks the canister across Curtis’ head. Darius drops down and covers Curtis!

1!

2!

Kickout!

Aiello: Things are getting absolutely crazy out here!

Bennett: Crazy? You mean extreme! This is what the people want to see!

Darius waves off Curtis and starts to limp towards the stage, shaking his leg as he makes his way up the ramp. By time he gets to the stage, Curtis manages to clean off his face and gets to his feet, seeing Darius head for the backstage area. Curtis shakes the cobwebs, grabs his staff, then runs up the ramp after Darius.

Darius hears Curtis coming up behind him and quickly ducks behind the curtain, then pushes a crew member out through the curtain, making Curtis run into them! Curtis apologizes then runs through the curtain to chase Darius, then ducks as he sees Darius swing a steel chair at his head!

Darius sprints down the hall and takes a sharp left, Curtis not far behind. As Curtis turns the corner, a ladder thrown by Darius flies past him. Curtis looks back at Darius confused, then Darius flips Curtis off and runs to the parking area, slamming the doors behind him.

Carter: Darius is running, he wants out of here!

Aiello: Something doesn’t seem right here, Darius doesn’t seem to be the type to run from a match, especially this one.

Curtis bursts through the doors and sees Darius standing in the middle of the lot, a car behind him running with the headlights on. Darius then pops the hood, lifts it, and pulls him bat from under the hood, then slams the hood shut. Darius spins the bat around in his hand, then charges at Curtis, swinging wide, but Curtis deflects the shot with his staff!

Curtis then ducks around Darius and attempts to strike him in the back with the staff, but Darius is quick to put the back down on front of his back, blocking the shot! Darius spins around and swings the bat into Curtis’ midsection, but then Curtis manages to bring the staff down onto Darius’ shoulder hard! Both men stumble back, Darius into the car and Curtis into the wall, holding where each was struck by the other’s weapon.

Bennett: This is some old style sword fighting shit!

Carter: Both of these men are demonstrating what they are capable of here tonight!

Darius limps around to the side of the car and opens up one of the rear doors, then pulls out a bundle of barbed wire, throwing it down onto the concrete below. He leaves the door open, reaches down, and starts to wrap the wire around his bat tightly. Curtis flies back into frame, swinging the staff at Darius’ head, but Darius ducks and the staff smashes the window of the door!

Darius reaches through the window to grab Curtis’ head, but Curtis slaps the hand away and slams Darius’ arm down onto the broken glass! Darius pulls the arm away, yelling out in pain, then Curtis pulls him around to the other side of the door, and pulls the door into Darius, slamming it against him multiple times.

Darius stumbles back a bit, nearly falling onto the barbed wire, but manages to catch himself … until Curtis dives in and connects with a superman punch onto Darius’ jaw, knocking him down onto the barbed wire back first!

Aiello: My god! Right onto the barbed wire!

Bennett: Okay that has GOTTA hurt ...

Curtis grins and thinks about covering Darius, but then slowly looks up at one of the tractor trailers near by. He stomps Darius in the chest, then runs to the trailer and starts to climb to the top. Once there, Curtis looks down at Darius, smiles, turns around so his back is facing Darius, then leaps from the top, performing a phoenix 630 in the air and connecting with it onto Darius, crushing him even further into the barbed wire!

Bennett: HOLY SHIT!

Carter: Those trailers are at least fifteen feet high! He just risked it all for this match!

Darius lays motionless in the barbed wire, eyes glazed over, face covered with blood, as Curtis rolls around on the ground holding his legs as they had impacted the barbed wire. He then pulls himself onto Darius and hooks the legs.

DING DING DING

Stroup: Here is your winner and the number one contender for the X-Division Championship .... Curtis Mars!

Aiello: That was absolutely insane! These guys nearly killed each other!

Bennett: Mars got lucky!

Carter: I don’t think luck had anything to do with it, that was pure skill.




We move to a commercial break.

SINGLES MATCH
NON-TITLE

Clay Byrd
VS Dominic Sanders

---

---

Aiello: We are back on Monday Night BRAWL!

Carter: This next match should be a good one.

Bennett: Two guys from Texas who are looking to beat the hell out of each other!

Carter: Well, you heard Clay Byrd this week. He claims that Dominic Sanders is not a real Texan. And, honestly, we know that's fairly accurate.

Bennett: Shit, son. The guy denounced California long ago. He said it wasn't his fault he wasn't born in Texas. I'll give it to him!

Stroup: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Guitar and harmonica begin to blare through the arena, the start of Gunning For You sends a silence across the crowd as Nick Nolan's lyrics echo through the arena. The state of Texas appears on the screen, and slowly fades into a highlight video.

My Gun is loaded it's getting time
Two shots of whiskey i'm takin' what's mine
Ain't what you're sayin it's what you do
Your time has come boy i'm Gunnin for You
When hell is rainin down you'll see my face won't heara sound
You'll feel that bullet burnin through
Take your last breath boy
I'm Gunnin for You

Clayton Byrd steps from the back, clad in his fathers leather vest and with red tights. His right arm is raised in the air, his fist clenched at it's apex. Clay begins his slow walk down the ramp. His eyes are fixed on the ring, and he trudges on. Not paying any notice to any of the fans in attendance.

Stroup: Introducing first... from Plainview, Texas... weighing in at 295 pounds... Claaaay Byyyyrd!

There's desperation deep in your eyes
No turnin back now no compromise
Cause only one of us walks out that door
The other bleedin out on the floor

Clay walks up the steps, and climbs into the ring.

Aiello: The Big Texan is back and, guys, he looks ready to roll here tonight.

Bennett: I like this guy, but I also think that it's going to be really tough for him to shake off that ring rust and beat the Champ here tonight!

Carter: I think that if anyone can manhandle Dominic Sanders, it's the six-foot-seven, two hundred and ninety-five pound Clay Byrd! He's got all of the tools necessary to be successful, and he has shown that in the past with a Television Championship reign.

Bennett: And then he disappeared when he got his ass handed to him. He's mentally fragile, and the Champ is about to expose him.

The lights go out in the Spectrum Center. 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 in a dark purple hoodie and black wrestling tights on, finished by white boots. The EWC Undisputed Championship hangs from his right hand. The hood of his sweatshirt drapes over his eyes 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 under the hood of his sweatshirt 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 underneath the hood of his sweatshirt, 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 for the bell.

Aiello: Dominic Sanders suffered his first defeat of 2019 last week when he teamed with Maurice Yensman against the EWC Tag Team Champions, NSFW.

Bennett: Well, no thanks to Maurice. Dominic Sanders never had a dog in that fight! Yensman's dumb ass wouldn't tag him in. YENSMAN lost that match. Not Dominic Sanders.

Carter: Well, we will see if Sanders can bounce back against Clay Byrd here right now!

DING DING DING

The two men meet in the center of the ring. Byrd shouts some things at Sanders, who just takes it with a cocky smirk on his face. Sanders nods his head at Byrd, who gets even closer. Byrd drives a headbutt into the bridge of Sanders’ nose, causing the Champion to step back and grab at it. Seeing that there’s no blood, Sanders loses the cocky grin and throws a right haymaker at the bigger man. Clay returns the favor. The two go back and forth trying to beat the living hell out of each other until Byrd drives a knee hard into Sanders’ midsection. Sanders bends over and Byrd drives a hammering right fist down into the middle of Sanders’ back, dropping him to his knees. Byrd grabs Sanders around the waist and delivers a huge German suplex to the 270 pound Undisputed Champion. Sanders folds like an accordion and Byrd turns around, looking for a cover.

Kickout by Sanders.

Aiello: This is going to be one brutal bout, folks.

Carter: Both of these men are big and powerful, but Clay Byrd still holds a few inches of height against Sanders and twenty-five pounds!

Bennett: I will admit. He is very powerful and could give Sanders a run for his money. But I still don’t think it’ll work out for him tonight!

Byrd picks Sanders up off of the mat and dumps him over the top rope and to the floor. He follows Sanders outside of the ring and walks over to the ring steps. He picks up the top portion of the ring steps and tosses them into the ring.

Aiello: Clay Byrd better be careful. This one will be over quickly and it will be him who gets disqualified!

Byrd walks over to Sanders. He drags Sanders over to the bottom portion of the ring steps and, as the referee is preoccupied trying to get the ring steps out of the ring, Byrd lifts Sanders up onto his shoulder.

Carter: My God! He’s going to powerslam the Champion onto the steps!

Sanders wiggles free off of Byrd’s shoulder and shoves Byrd face-first into the ring post, his face smacking hard off of the steel. The referee has gotten the steps out of the ring and turns his attention back over to Sanders and Byrd and begins a count.

ONE!

Byrd, still on his feet, stumbles around the ring to the other side. Sanders follows him and drives a forearm into the back of Byrd’s head. He grabs Byrd by the hair and rolls him into the ring. Sanders steps up onto the ring apron and slingshots himself over the top rope, landing across Byrd’s throat with a leg drop. He covers Byrd.

Kickout.

Sanders gets up to his feet and drives the heel of his boot into Byrd’s temple. He stomps him again, grabbing the top rope for leverage. He reaches down and drapes Byrd’s ankle on the bottom rope. Sanders steps up onto the bottom rope, springs, and drops down hard on the inside of Byrd’s left knee.

Carter: The Champion is now moving at a methodical pace.

Sanders does this a second time, driving his rear right into the inside of Byrd’s knee. He grabs Byrd’s legs and drags him into the middle of the ring. Sanders reaches down to lock Byrd up in the Texas Bluebonnet, but Byrd reaches up, grabs Sanders, and rolls Sanders up with a small package.

2

Kickout!

Aiello: Clay Byrd ALMOST stole one right there!

Bennett: Ain’t happenin!

Sanders gets to his feet really quickly and grabs Byrd’s left leg. He drives an elbow into the inside of Byrd’s knee. Sanders gets up to his feet and looks out at the crowd briefly, the tens of thousands in attendance booing him. He runs and bounces off of the ropes. Byrd is up to his feet. Sanders returns and Byrd picks him up, delivering a hot shot to Sanders on the top rope. Sanders bounces backwards and onto his back in the middle of the ring. Both men lay on the mat as the referee begins counting both men down.

ONE!

Aiello: Clay Byrd is trying to mount a comeback.

Carter: He hung Sanders up on that top rope. Sanders is down. Now is Byrd’s opportunity!

Byrd is back up to his feet. He shakes his leg out and walks around the ring. Sanders starts to get to his feet. Byrd sizes Sanders up. Sanders is up to his feet. He turns around and Byrd sprints at him. Sanders ducks the West Texas Lariat! Byrd turns around… Funky Town! Sanders nails Byrd with Funky Town. He drops down on Byrd for the cover.

2

THR-Kickout!

Aiello: Very long two count!

Carter: Sanders nearly had Byrd there!

Sanders gets up to his feet and grabs Byrd’s legs. He drags his Byrd to the middle of the ring and goes to lock in the Texas Bluebonnet once more. Byrd brings Sanders in close with his legs and shoves Sanders back, sending him crashing into referee Josh Daniels. Daniels hits the deck and Sanders turns to look at Daniels. Byrd gets up to his feet. He looks at Sanders. Sanders turns… WEST TEXAS LARIAT!

Aiello: Byrd nails Sanders with the West Texas Lariat!

Bennett: But no referee! Bad luck, son!

Byrd covers Sanders, but to no avail. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Maurice Yensman is out from the back. He hops up onto the ring apron and climbs to the top rope. He leaps off and drives an elbow drop to the back of Byrd’s head.

Aiello: Dang it!

Carter: Another America’s Most Hated assault!

Bennett: Hardly an assault. He’s probably trying to make up for last week!

Yensmen leaves the ring and Byrd and Sanders both lay there. Daniels is slowly beginning to come around. Sanders and Byrd are getting to their feet. They square off in the middle of the ring. Byrd swings with a right, but Sanders ducks. He grabs the big man and lifts him up onto his shoulders. RIPTIDE! Sanders nails Byrd with the Riptide! He covers. Daniels slowly crawls over.

DING DING DING

Stroup: Here is your winner... the EWC Undisputed Champion... DOMINIC SANDERS!

Aiello: And the Undisputed Champion picks up the victory in a very hard-fought battle. But it was Maurice Yensman who helped him with the victory tonight.

Carter: Clay Byrd just gave Dominic Sanders all he could handle and more... you can bet this one isn't over between them. And you can bet Byrd will have something to say to Maurice Yensman.

Aiello: And it may not be over right now. Sanders has a microphone.

Sanders stands in the ring with The Limit and Maurice Yensman. He has a microphone as "Drop the World" stops playing and he raises it to his lips, the crowd booing the Undisputed Champion.

Sanders: Clay Byrd. I told you what was going to happen. And you didn't get the job done. So, that offer to join America's Most Hated? It's been revoked.

Byrd, now on the outside of the ring, flips Sanders and the rest of America's Most Hated off and yells something at Sanders about not wanting to have been in their group anyway before exiting the ringside area.

Sanders: That's fine by me, Clay. Now...

Sanders turns his attention to Maurice Yensman.

Sanders: Maurice. You just came out here and, I assume, tried to make up for what happened last week. And while many would appreciate that, you need to understand that when I won this Undisputed Championship... I made it known that there was to be no outside interference in my matches. I may be an asshole. But I'm an honest asshole.

Aiello: That's debatable!

Bennett: Shaddup!

Sanders: What you did last week was... unacceptable. Your actions in this ring did not sit well with me. It was deplorable. BUT... I did say I forgave you. And that is true. You've been forgiven by me for being a selfish shithead last week. However...

Just then the lights go out. We hear commotion inside of the ring.

Aiello: What in the hell is going on here?

Carter: I can't see anything, can either of you?

Bennett: Yeah, let me just break out my night-vision goggles, you moron!

Sanders: But they are not as forgiving as I am, Maurice...

The lights come back on inside of the Spectrum Center. Three more men stand in the ring: Jeff Noon, Rob Garcia, and a man with a gold mask on.

Aiello: It's Rob Garcia! He's here!

Carter: I thought he was going to be on the shelf for awhile! At least, that's how Dominic Sanders made it sound!

Bennett: The ReMnant is back!

Aiello: But who is this other guy?!

Jeff Noon and Rob Garcia grab Yensman by the arms and hold his limp body back. The man in the gold mask cocks his head to the side and stares at Yensman. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out some hair clippers. He clicks the button on and raises it to Yensman's head.

Bennett: Shave that bastard!

The man in the mask drives the clippers firmly into Yensman's upper lip, shaving off his mustache with a few strokes. He turns the clippers off and drops them on the outside of the ring. Noon and Garcia drop Yensman and the rest of America's Most Hated begins laughing at Yensman.

Aiello: There's the trademark! I can't believe these guys have done that to one of their own!

Bennett: I've got news for ya! I doubt he was ever truly one of their own!

Sanders, The Limit, Garcia, Noon, and the man in the mask share a high five over Yensman's body.

Sanders: Ladies and gentlemen... the NEWEST MEMBER of America's Most Hated!

We see the man in the mask reach up to begin removing his mask. He removes it and throws the gold mask in the face of the half-conscious moustacheless Maurice and then runs his hands through his hair.

Sanders: YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE! "THE GOLDEN BOY" DRACO LAZARUS!!!!

Aiello: OH MY GOD!

Carter: He's back! I cannot believe this!

Bennett: Hell yeah!

Gasps from around arena seem to take the air out from everywhere except for the excessive testosterone fueled grunts and laughs of America’s Most Hated in the ring. “The Golden Boy” spins left because, unlike Zoolander, he goes both ways. The look he delivers can only be described as the miraculous birth between the evil eye and Blue Steel. He takes a lap around the center of the ring, that infamous smug smirk on his face.

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: That’s right EWC, your worst nightmare has returned to crush the dreams of everyone not in America’s Most Hated. God, I can’t wait to see the look on all you social media addicted, sugar feening faces watching us sideline your beloved heroes and parade around here with all the gold.

The crowd begins to drown out Draco’s next words with boos and jeers. Draco begins to throw a mini tantrum, stomping his right foot down, looking over at his stablemate, the Undisputed Champion Dominic Sanders, both shaking their heads at the audacity of the fans interrupting him. Rob Garcia leans over the ring, yelling at the fans to shut their mouths, Jeff Noon does the same on the other end.

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: THE RULES ARE STILL THE SAME! You are wasting the hard earned money of the other financially and intellectually deficient morons watching on the EWC Network because…

The delusional bastard pauses for dramatic effect.

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU LOSERS THINK! Stop wasting your breath. Now where was I before I was so rudely interrupted. Oh yeah, You know damn well you all want to see me, and my other superior friends here, knock a new batch of overhyped posers off their pedestals.

Again Draco draws the disdain of the crowd, and laughs from his Most Hated counterparts, and the genius, possibly psychic, Jeff Noon.

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: Just look at these poor excuses for champions. Iggy Swango, essentially the less feminine Griffin Hawkins. I would rip that title from her limp body just like I would have taken that title from the future Wedding Singer. Maybe he can sing at mine and Ms. Lazarus future wedding.

Draco pauses, licks his tips, running them through his eyebrows.

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: She might be a little mad I left without an explanation.

Draco puts a hand to his ear, then raises his pitch as he asks…

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: What’s that? You are desperate to know what happened between my alleged younger brother, Nostalgia, and I?

The smug scumbag switches from holding his left hand over his left ear to placing his right hand hand over his right ear.

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: You are dying to know what I was doing instead of embarrassing EWC’s alleged “Champions?”

Draco pauses, chuckles as he pulls the mic down, then looks around the ring at his stablemates. He snickers, thumbs his nose, then in the most proper way he has ever spoken in an EWC ring…

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: Let’s move onto the X-Division Champion. Rob Garcia was robbed. Xavier Reid obviously paid off the ref.

Dominic Sanders and Rob Garcia chuckle for different reasons.

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: That never should have been a three tap, then Xavier manipulated Garcia’s wrist to make him tap. ROB GARCIA IS A CHAMPION! HE DOESN’T QUIT! I offered to file an appeal on his behalf. But he is a better man than you.

America’s Most Hated share some enthusiastic high-fives before Draco continues.

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: Onto the worst of the worst, and my biggest fan, NSFW and Lil’ Mikey McGuire. If it wasn’t for that white trash Maurice Yensman, America’s Most Hated would have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt they deserve those tag titles. So whether it is The Limit or any combination of our superior talent… NSFW your reign is almost over. Then you two can ride off a cliff like Bonnie and Clyde.

This again draws the disdain of the crowd. Now chants fill the arena along with the boos.

DRACO SUCKS!!
DRACO SUCKS!!
DRACO SUCKS!!

Draco throws his hands up in the air, shaking his head, then kicks the bottom ropes before walking back to the center of the ring

“The Golden Boy” Draco Lazarus: Oh GET OVER IT! America’s Most Hated is here, my main man Dominic Sanders has the Undisputed Title and we are gonna to run roughshod through this entire locker room as we horde the others. Join us, get out of our way, or have your career ended. Those are your options.

Draco hurls the mic down at the mat so hard the thump is heard throughout the first few rows of the arena. America’s Most Hated exchange “daps” staring into the crowd of haters jeering them.


We move to a commercial break.

Fuming, Jon Spartan is yelling inside of Victor Price's office. He slams the door closed and only muffles can be heard, Draco Lazarus's name is the only thing that Jon Spartan can be heard saying.

Aiello: Can you believe what we just saw? Draco Lazarus is back!

Carter: AND he shaved Maurice Yensman's mustache off!

Bennett: Who cares about Maurice Yensman? Draco Lazarus is back and America's Most Hated is stronger than ever!

Aiello: I wouldn't say "stronger than ever." They're literally the same group they were when they started, Steve.

Bennett: But Sanders wasn't the Undisputed Champion back then you idiot.

Aiello: Moving along, coming up next, we've got Emma Louise taking on Xavier Reid for the X-Division Championship. 

Carter: And the winner will meet Kendrick Kross in the finals of the EWC Undisputed Championship Number One Contender Tournament!

Stroup: The following contest is an X-Division Rules Match! It is for the EWC X-Division Championship! And the winner will advance in the Undisputed Championship Number One Contender Tournament!

"Neo Geo" begins playing throughout the Spectrum Center. Emma Louise's video package begins playing on the MacTron. However, Emma Louise does not enter the arena.

Aiello: Uh, well, I suppose maybe we are having technical difficulties with... No. Let's go to the back where Brian Spade is standing by in the gorilla position.

Spade: Guys, what we are being told is that Emma Louise is nowhere to be found. We are looking high and low for her, but it appears like we may not have a main event tonight.

Xavier Reid is nearby talking with some EWC officials about Emma Louise. Suddenly, Emma Louise jumps out of a nearby trash can and smacks Reid in the face with the lid. The bell rings and the crowd disperses, leaving only a referee behind with Emma and Reid.

DING DING DING

Emma immediately covers Reid.

1

Tw-kickout before two.

Aiello: What a sneak attack by Emma Louise! This is a lot on Xavier, especially after the attack from earlier tonight.

Carter: She thought she could get a quick jump on Reid.

Bennett: I actually have to applaud her for that. I love a good sneak attack! But clearly she is no Draco. Speaking of, let's all be happy on his great return!

Emma stays on the attack, driving the trash can lid into the side of Reid’s head. She grabs him and lifts him off of the ground. She grabs Reid by the head and drives it into the cinder block walls of the arena. Emma reaches over and grabs a mop and jams the end of the handle into Reid’s ribcage. He grabs his ribs and starts to walk down the hallway. Emma walks up behind him and lifts the mop up over his head and down around his throat, choking him with it. The referee checks on Reid, looking for a submission.

Aiello: Emma Louise is trying to choke the life out of Xavier Reid!

Carter: She’s started out hot here, tonight!

Aiello: She is on a winning streak, he first in quite awhile!

Bennett: She may keep it going tonight!

Reid puts his feet up onto the wall and manages to do a backflip out of the mop handle, over Emma Louise, and behind her. He grabs her in a full-nelson and delivers a full-nelson suplex onto the hard concrete. He holds on and bridges.

Th-kickout by Emma Louise!

Aiello: How she kicked out, who knows. The back of her head just smacked the pavement hard!

Carter: Very gutsy, that’s for sure!

Reid gets up off of the ground and looks down at Emma Louise. He kicks her swiftly in the side of the head. Reid walks over towards the gorilla position and picks up his X-Division Championship. He walks back over towards Emma Louise as she begins getting to her feet. He runs at her to strike her with the title in the side of the head. Emma ducks and Reid smacks the wall. Emma rips the title out of his hand and swings it at Reid’s head. He ducks enough for her to miss, but not miss completely. She clips his ear with it, tearing a little bit of his ear cartilage. Reid elbows her in the stomach and hooks her up for a suplex. She punches him in the ribs to break the hold and she DDTs him on the concrete! She covers.

1

2

Thr-kickout!

Aiello: These two are really taking it to each other. This one may not last very long.

Carter: Kendrick Kross can only hope that they destroy each other.

Emma Louise gets up and walks over towards the locker room area. She sees a stack of tables and grabs the first one. She sets them up one-by-one until four tables are stacked up, two on top of the other two and next to each other.

Aiello: Emma Louise is moving around some lumber!

Bennett: Xavier Reid may be in for a world of hurt!

Reid is up to his feet and comes at Emma. Emma grabs Reid by the head before he can strike and drives his head into a locker room door. Emma drags him towards a forklift and drives his face into the door. No! He blocks it. Reid grabs Emma and drives her lower back into the door of the forklift. He pulls her over to the platform of the forklift and positions her for a piledriver! He lifts her up, but she manages to squirm her way out of it. She pulls her head out from between his legs and swings at Reid. Reid ducks and swings for a haymaker of his own. Emma ducks and Reid spins around. Emma locks Reid up in a full nelson and drops him with an En-Emma on the forklift platform! Emma backrolls off of the platform and gets into the cab of the forklift.

Bennett: What’s this crazy chick doing now?!

Carter: Looks like she’s going to take Xavier Reid high into the air!

Emma lifts the platform up higher and higher until Reid is roughly twenty feet into the air. She drives the forklift forward towards the stacked tables. Emma kills the engine and gets out, looking up high at Reid who is on his hands and knees looking down at her. Emma begins scaling the side of the forklift and makes her way up to the roof. She is still about twelve feet below Reid. She starts climbing her way up the lift, using the wall near her as leverage. She finally gets up to the top and Reid grabs her wrists and yanks her up to the top.

Aiello: This all took too much time! Xavier Reid has recovered by now!

Reid pulls her to her feet and drives an elbow into her jaw. Emma swings at Reid, but he puts his arm up to block it. He drives another elbow into her jaw! Reid locks Emma up and pulls her up for a suplex! X-ODUS!

Bennett: JESUS CHRIST!

Aiello: Xavier Reid just delivered a version of the X-Odus to Emma Louise off of the lift and through the stacks of tables!

Neither one of them is moving. The referee, as well as others, are all checking on both competitors.

Aiello: I think both of these wrestlers are seriously hurt!

Xavier Reid’s eyes blink as he stares at the ceiling. Emma is motionless and out cold. Reid lifts his head up and looks over at Emma Louise.

Carter: How on earth is he even moving?!

Bennett: That sumbitch has some balls, I’ll tell you that!

Reid sees that Emma is out cold and a sick, sadistic smile spreads across his face. He leans over and uses his strength to drape an arm over her stomach.

DING DING DING

Stroup: Here is your winner... and STILL EWC X-Division Champion... Xavier Reid!

Aiello: Xavier Reid takes the match and will move on to face off with Kendrick Kross! And that maniac did it with a smile on his face! Everything Xavier went through tonight and Emma giving him a tough fight. He still managed to come out with the victory.

Bennett: And he's going to whip that poor girl Kendrick Kross' ass!

Carter: You DO realize Kendrick Kross is not a girl, right?

Bennett: Had me fooled!

Aiello: Folks, we would love to thank you for tuning in tonight. We will see you next week as we are live from Cleveland!

Bennett: CLEVELAND? WHO IN THE HELL SAID "LET'S GO TO OHIO?!"

Carter: Good night everybody!

The show fades to black.
