The show starts off with video footage detailing historic events over Monday Night BRAWL's history.
From episode 001 in 1997 all the way down to the last episode #540 in Madrid, Spain.
Images of previous EWC Champions are shown, starting with the very first Champion Black Ninja, then moving onto Big Mac and Steve Bennett. Sped up footage then shows a special montage of Memphis Reigns, Shadow Man, Hirsh Valentine, Jesse Nunez, Hurricane Jeff, Moses Lake, James Chambers, BDC, Jay Cee, Stray, Gladiator, The Rev, Ruthann Hunter, Ashton Drake and then Xplode all with the EWC Championship.

Winguard, Hazel Overton, Cyrus Black, Bill Bashem, and so on.
We then get a shot of the Champions of BRAWL:
Kendrick Kross with the X-Division Championship
Cyrus Black with the International Championship
and finally...
Dominic Sanders with the Undisputed Championship
The opening pyros blast across the stage and here we go.

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:
"SANDERS HAS THE KEY TO MY HEART...AND MY LEXUS"
"CYRUS BLACK = MONEY"
"CALIFORNIA KNOWS HOW TO PARTY, AND SO DOES BILL BASHEM"
"YOU'RE THE MAN NOW, D.O.G."
"WHAT'S THE STORY OLD GLORY?"
and "KENDRICK KROSS WILL MAKE YOU JUMP JUMP"
Aiello: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Monday Night Brawl! I'm Joe Aiello alongside Max Carter and Steve Bennett, and do we have a show for you tonight or what? We have some more interbrand insanity in the form of a trios match pitting the red brand's Stalker, SP Rancid, and AMADEUS against Rampage's Mark Storm, Dr. Psycho, and Samantha Hamilton!
Carter: That's right, after the default win for Psycho and Hamilton last week they team up with Mark Storm to try to prove some superiority by Rampage, and to top it off we've got one half of the Tag Team Champions in action as Scorpio faces the X-Division Champion in non-title action!
Bennett: Hell son, I'm starting to wonder if what Xavier Reid said is true...this is the second Brawl in a row the X-Division Champion is in tame territory. Not to worry though, folks, 'cause we've got the X-Division supply to feed your need! Two upstart talent Square off as Bill Bashem takes on Stephanie Matsuda with X-Division Rules in place, and the winner gets a future shot at the X-Division Championship!
Aiello: We've got all that and a triple return as Gabrielle Visconty, Kenneth Williams, and Jamaal Jackson face off in a triple threat match, and all of this leads us to our big main event! Last time on Brawl we saw Iggy Swango join America's Most Hated to close out the show, and tonight she teams with the Undisputed Champion, Dominic Sanders, to take on two-thirds of the Kilt Bros in David Gowolski and the International Champion, Cyrus Black!
We get another shot of the crowd on their feet, ready for Brawl to kick off when we cut to...
Inside the office of the Acting President of EWC, we find Victor Price speaking to someone off-camera with a smirk on his face, much to the chagrin of the crowd.
Price: I have to say, it's an absolute pleasure to introduce you to the EWC. I've seen your work in the entertainment industry, and I have to say I was very impressed. I think your know-how and positive attitude are gonna get you far. Welcome aboard, Mr. Connors.
Victor extends a hand, which is met with another as they shake on the agreement made. The camera zooms out enough to reveal an older gentleman, one whose age is seen more in his maturity than in any sign of gray hairs.
Connors: Please, call me Jim. Like I told you on the phone, I like to think that my style of management is very hands-on. That's why I moonlight as a gynecologist.
The crass joke gets a chuckle from Price, and some laughs and groans from the crowd.
Price: Well, I look forward to you steering the ship that is Monday Night Brawl.
Connors: As long as there are no icebergs we should be fine.
That gets a laugh from both men, as well as some of the crowd in the Oracle Arena.
Connors: But seriously, I'm happy to be on board here. I'm especially excited for my first major act as GM, to facilitate the big contract signing for the Undisputed Championship match at Scars and Stripes. Two conflicting personalities like those, what could possibly go wrong?
Jim chuckles at this, more nervous than one would expect. Price rests a hand on Jim's shoulder in assurance.
Price: Look, I'm sure it's gonna be fine. You're more than qualified to take on this job, and I'm sure President Mac will appreciate you taking on the role as I settle back into mine as Acting President of the entire EWC. If you have any questions, just come talk to me. Welcome to the EWC, Jim Connors, and see you in the ring.
Price walks off with a smirk on his face, but Jim still looks concerned about something as he shouts in the direction of the Acting President.
Connors: Should I be worried about a man on our roster named Stalker?
That gets a laugh and some groans from the crowd as we cut back to commentary.
Aiello: The rumors are true, fans! We have a new General Manager of Brawl, and his name is Jim Connors!
Carter: And as we just heard, his first act as GM is handling the likely tense situation as Dominic Sanders and Cyrus Black/Ace King sign their contract for the main event of Scars and Stripes.
Bennett: Holy hell, we could be in for a long night if those two come to blows!
Aiello: It's definitely a big night as we step out on the road to Scars and Stripes...and we're kicking things off in style!
Inside the ring we see two chairs set up near a table, on top of which is a contract on a clipboard. The crowd is excited for what's to come as we cut to commentary.
Aiello: You heard it here, folks! Ace King earned his shot at the Undisputed Championship with a win over Cyrus Black this past Friday on Rampage, and tonight we watch as The Gambler and his opponent for Scars and Stripes, the champion Dominic Sanders, sign the contract for what is sure to be an exciting match!
Bennett: I gotta say I agree with our new General Manager...what could possibly go wrong?
"My Way" plays over the PA, drawing a chorus of boos as Victor Price makes his way to the ring with a smile on his face.
Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time the Acting President of EWC, Victor Price!
Aiello: Our new GM is facilitating the contract signing but it seems Price is going to keep an eye on things!
Bennett: I can't say I blame him, Joe! Price might have trust in our new GM, but he's exactly that...new. This is an important moment, and Price wants to make sure it goes off without a hitch!
Price enters the ring, his smile never fading even as the crowd chants "PRICE SUCKS."
Price: It's good to see you too, Oakland! Tonight is a historic moment for Monday Night Brawl, as we not only have an important contract signing but one under the care of a brand-new General Manager! So before we have our competitors sign the contract for Scars and Stripes, I'd like to introduce you at this time to your new GM of Brawl...Jim Connors!
"Da Da Da" by Trio hits the PA, to a response of some confusion by the crowd in Oakland as the new GM makes his way to the ring. Connors looks a little nervous as he enters the ring, but the nerves go missing as he shakes hands with Price.
Aiello: And here he is, the new General Manager of Brawl...and what a way to kick off this new era!
Bennett: He's got a past in the entertainment industry, but what will Jim Connors bring to the table here?
Carter: We're about to see how someone like Connors fares when dealing with some big personalities, especially the likes of our Undisputed and United States Champions!
Price hands the microphone to Connors, motioning as though to give the new GM the floor as Connors smiles.
Connors: Hello, Oakland! I'm very happy to be a part of the team here in EWC as your new General Manager of Monday Night Brawl!
This gets a lukewarm reception from the crowd, drawing a nervous chuckle from Connors who looks over at Price.
Connors: Geez, tough crowd. I knew I'd get a chilly reception but this is something else. Still, I think I know what'll get this crowd hyped up...let's talk about Scars and Stripes in two weeks, shall we!?
Sure enough, this gets the crowd buzzing much to the delight of Connors.
Connors: We are on the road to our next Pay-Per-View, where the stars of Brawl and Rampage find themselves going head to head...and what better example than our main event, where Dominic Sanders defends the Undisputed Championship against the man who earned his title shot just this past Friday, Ace King! The Gambler has his work cut out for him at Scars and Stripes, but tonight we're here to sign the contract making this match official! So let's not stall much longer, shall we? Let's bring out the competitors for this huge main event, starting with the challenger...he is the EWC United States Champion with a title reign that just can't seem to end...he is The Gambler, Ace King!
The crowd gets even louder in anticipation as "Ace of Spades" hits the PA, drawing a big pop from the crowd as Ace King makes his way to the ring.
Aiello: Here comes the EWC United States Champion, the man whose title reign has broken just about every conceivable record there is at just over six hundred days. He has earned another shot at the Undisputed Championship, but will The Gambler have a winning bet at Scars and Stripes?
Ace enters the ring, glaring at Price but choosing to stay professional enough to shake hands with Connors before standing on one side of the table.
Connors: And his opponent, the Undisputed Champion...Oakland, give it up for Dominic Sanders!
"Drop the World" by Lil' Wayne hits the PA, drawing the ire of the Oakland crowd as the Undisputed Champion makes his way to the ring, a smirk on his face as he enters to shake hands with Price and Connors.
Bennett: Man, look at the confidence on Dominic's face! He knows that Ace King is on the long road to ruin, and he's not afraid to show it.
Sanders stands across the table from King as Connors motions for both men to have a seat.
Connors: Gentlemen, it's an honor and privilege to be going over the details of this epic main event with you. As you know, Scars and Stripes is a joint production--that's a weed joke Mr. Price, hope that's not a problem--between Brawl and Rampage, and this main event is a perfect example as Brawl's own Dominic Sanders defends his Undisputed Championship against the United States Champion, Rampage superstar Ace King!
The crowd pops for the match reminder, a seemingly bored Sanders taking a peek at the contract on the table as Connors continues.
Connors: It only seems right for a match of this magnitude to have...
The GM is interrupted by Sanders, who rises to his feet as he shoves the contract into the hands of Connors while grabbing the mic.
Sanders: Hold on a second, Connors. I can respect the fact you're just starting this job, but just what is this?
The champion points to something on the contract as King gets to his feet to see what the commotion is about. Price looks at the contract as well, giving a nod of approval to Connors as the GM takes the mic back.
Connors: That, Mr. Sanders, is a result of a conversation with the higher ups in EWC and the realization that a match of this magnitude deserves an extra little oomph...which is why this match is a LADDER MATCH!
This gets a big pop from the crowd, though Dominic looks less than pleased as he steals the mic back from the GM.
Sanders: So this is how the new General Manager wants to run things?
Connors thinks about this for just a moment, before nodding his head with a shrug.
Sanders: Fine. Ace King, you've come up short every time you've gone after this title, and Scars and Stripes will be no different. I hope you're ready to be embarrassed when I climb that ladder to keep what's rightfully mine!
Sanders grabs the contract back, signing it with a nearby pen before slamming it back onto the table. Ace looks over the contract, and a smirk grows on the face of The Gambler as he gets the mic from Connors.
King: What's wrong, Dominic? Afraid that your title reign comes to an end at Scars and Stripes? They always say the third time's the charm but hey, maybe the fifth will do the trick. All I know is, I'm coming for that title and I will take it from you....Bet On It.
Ace signs the contract, that smirk never leaving his face as he hands it and the mic back to Connors.
Connors: You see that, Mr. Price? I told you nothing could go...
Suddenly, Dominic flips the table up and out of the way! The two men go nearly nose to nose as they stare each other down, but before things can go horribly awry we see ringside security coming to break things up as we cut to commentary.
Aiello: What an announcement, folks! Not only do we see Ace King try once more for the Undisputed Championship as he faces Dominic Sanders, but the match is a Ladder Match! Any concerns of chicanery by America's Most Hated have to be subsided, don't they?
Bennett: Of course, Joe! But did you really think AMH would get involved in such an important match anyway? Don't be silly!
Aiello: This is just the start of what looks to be an amazing night of action and drama on Monday Night Brawl! Up next is our opening contest, a trios match contested under International Rules...stay tuned!

Kendrick had the X-Division Championship perfectly placed on his shoulder as he was walking down the hallway of The Oracle, the former home of the Golden State Warriors. He was hoping the get through the night undisturbed though unfortunately it wasn’t the case as Brian Spade jumped out in front of Kendrick stopping him in his tracks. The look on Kendricks face told how annoyed he was with this interruption.
Spade: Kendrick! Let me get a word with you. The X-Division Championship is there resting on your shoulder, but there is a match tonight to determine your next challenger between Bill Bashem and Stephanie Matsuda. Is there anyone specific you’re wanting to win?
Kendrick looks at Brian and rolls his eyes at him. Clearly getting more frustrated by the minute.
Kross: First off, Brian. Never interrupt me when I’m busy ever again. Secondly, no. There is no one I am wanting to win this match. For all I care it could be the Queen of England. The fact is when it comes down to it, I am the X-Division Champion for a reason, because this company needs me to be. So again, no. I don’t care who it is, Bill, Stephanie it’s all the same. Because at Scars and Stripes I’ll once again defend my title.
Spade: You seem confident about that Kendrick, you sure you aren’t overlooking either one of them? What about your opponent tonight, Scorpio? You seem to be looking past him as well.
Kendrick laughed a bit as he closed his eyes calming himself so he doesn’t go off on Brian.
Kross: Brian, I’m not overlooking anyone when it comes to this. Tonight two things happen, I find out who I face at Scars and Stripes and I also go into war with Scorpio, where I come out on top. Kendrick Kross isn’t someone that isn’t going to overlook anyone, Scorps is going to lose to me tonight. It’s plain and simple. I’m going out there, extending my win streak and going into Scars and Stripes fully prepared for whoever my opponent is. I guarantee this though, I’ll be watching that match and I’ll be taking in every weakness those two have. So no matter who it is at Scars and Stripes I will be fully prepared. See, Ace. They don’t get what it’s like to be at the top of the food chain, they’ve never ran into a bull like Kendrick Kross. One of them will though and it will be their last time going up against me.
Kendrick lets out a small grin and looks at Brian. Before he can get anything else off Kendrick pushes past him and continues his path down the hall as we cut to...
BRAWL VS RAMPAGE - TRIOS TURMOIL!
[TRIOS MATCH]
Stalker/Rancid/AMADEUS
VS
Storm/Psycho/Hamilton
VS
Storm/Psycho/Hamilton
Aiello: We're kicking off tonight's hot and fresh in-ring action with a six-person tag match, or as instructed by our new Brawl GM, a Trios Match! As revealed on our EWC News Line, this match is being contested under International Rules...meaning, the competitors have a twenty count to make it back into the ring, and in the case of this match in particular, a tag can be made when someone leaves the ring and goes to the floor.
Bennett: That means plenty of chaos to lend itself to the turmoil theme of our opening contest! The so-called Interbrand Insanity continues tonight, folks!
Stroup: The following is a trios match, scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...
"Running With The Devil" hits the PA, resulting in a surprisingly positive reaction for the first team, though that may have more to do with the fact they represent the red brand than anything. The three men make their way to the ring, eager to get a big win over the rival brand!
Stroup: Representing Brawl, the team of Stalker, SP Rancid, and The Radical Dreamer...AMADEUS!
Aiello: These three men are hoping to make a big impression tonight, but with Scars and Stripes on the horizon what role do you think they'll play?
Bennett: Whatever it is, I expect big things from them!
"You're Going Down" hits the PA, drawing a much more negative response from the Oakland crowd as the team from Rampage make their way to the ring, Samantha Hamilton flanked by Mark Storm and Dr. Psycho as they approach ringside.
Stroup: And their opponents, representing Rampage...the team of Mark Storm, Dr. Psycho, and the Titaness...Samantha Hamilton!
Aiello: Psycho and Titaness got a win on the last Brawl under dubious circumstances, and Hamilton made her feelings known on the situation...but it looks like these three might be able to get the job done against a more game set of opponents tonight!
DING DING DING
The action starts with as much chaos as you'd expect, with the Brawl team not quite on the same page at the start. This gives Hamilton the early advantage against Stalker with a flurry of kicks that sends the big man reeling, before hitting a big dropkick that sends Stalker to the corner! Using ring awareness, Stalker quickly leaves the ring which allows Rancid a chance to run in with the tag...but he's met with a drop toe hold by Hamilton! Titaness makes a tag to Psycho, who immediately goes to work on Rancid with some heavy punches before hoisting him up for a powerbomb...but Rancid gets out at the last minute! Rancid runs the ropes, looking for momentum...and meets a big powerslam by Psycho instead!
Aiello: What power by Dr. Psycho! That's gonna take a lot out of Rancid.
Pleased with his handiwork, Psycho tags in Storm, who continues the assault on Rancid with a series of kicks before hitting a beautiful Japanese arm drag! Storm continues with a double wristlock, which he then follows up with several stomps to the chest of Rancid, as well as his face and head. Storm picks Rancid up, but Rancid counters with a small package...only for Storm to kick out before even a one count! Rancid is looking to gain momentum again as he goes for some hard lefts and rights on Storm, but AMADEUS makes a blind tag! Rancid is beside himself, but the Radical Dreamer sends his own partner out of the ring before turning his attention to Storm...who's made the tag to Hamilton!
Bennett: Here we go! The history between these two means this is gonna get real interesting, real quick.
A smile appears on the face of both competitors as they lock up, going hold for hold until Hamilton catches AMADEUS with an arm drag. The Radical Dreamer is quick to his feet though, mockingly applauding the efforts of a frustrated Titaness who charges at AMADEUS...only to be caught with a spinebuster by Stalker, who's made a return to the ring to clear house! Psycho runs into the ring, and the giants have at each other with lefts and rights. The ref tries to break up the chaos as Hamilton leaves the ring, making Psycho technically the legal man...but Storm makes a blind tag of his own, looking to put away the Radical Dreamer! Stalker and Psycho take their brawl outside, where Rancid gets caught in the crossfire as Storm and AMADEUS go at it. Storm gets into a groove as he goes for his bicycle knee called Shoot to Kill...but AMADEUS catches him, going behind to lock in the rear naked choke he calls Exit Light! He quickly drops Storm down, locking in the bodyscissors for Enter Night! The ref checks on Storm, who's fading fast. Hamilton is still down as the ref raises Storm's up once...twice...and three times, revealing that Storm is out cold! Hamilton is just coming to as the ref calls for the bell!
DING DING DING
Stroup: Here are your winners...Stalker, SP Rancid, and AMADEUS!
Aiello: Holy moly, what a match! With all the chaos going on, the Radical Dreamer was able to lock in a submission hold and force Mark Storm to pass out!
Bennett: What an insane way to start this show off! Someone go check on Mark Storm, I hope he's okay.
Carter: Man, what could this mean for all six of these competitors as we head into Scars and Stripes?
Aiello: I have no doubt we'll learn more soon enough. In the meantime, we're gonna take a short break...when we come back, we get a triple threat match as three of our favorite competitors make a return to Brawl! Stay tuned!
We move to a commercial break.
The camera creeps through the slight opening on the door backstage which has “Break Room” written in bold letters on a silver plate. Inside are two familiar faces. Hush is seen lying on the couch with a notepad in one hand and a pen in the other. Nevaeh is a few feet away at a small oval table with a cup of steaming coffee and a sledgehammer at her feet as she sinks into her chair looking very relaxed.
Nevaeh: You know, hanging with you is a lot of fun; I can just sit, talk all day long and you shut up. I like that.
Hush snickers in the couch, scribbles something in his note, crumbles it up and throws it at Nevaeh’s head fondly. She catches it like she’s played baseball all her life, reads it, laughs and then tosses it in the trash can behind her which has quite a few crumbled papers already inside.
“I wish you’d take my cue and shut up once in a while.” It reads.
Nevaeh: Well Hush, you want me to shut up, you will have to make me
She says as she laughed and nudges the sledgehammer with her foot. The slight squeal against the tiles are a fond warning to Jamaal not to even try it.
“I like it when you talk dirty to me” says the next crumbled up paper that comes flying across the room. Nevaeh nearly bursts out laughing with a mouth full of coffee but stops herself.
Nevaeh: You wish, mute.
Hush snickers to himself.
Nevaeh: So, you’re facing the pothead and the princess; sounds like a Disney classic. You ready? Need my help? Heaven’s helper right here wouldn’t mind beating up a few people on her day off.
Nevaeh lifts her sledgehammer off the ground and over her shoulder. Heaven’s helper looks as dangerous as ever. Hush tosses a paper her way and she plucks it from the sky.
“Nah, I’m good. Kenneth is good but not that good, he’s rusty and definitely not ready to face a well-oiled machine like myself. Gabrielle is just coming off a shoulder injury, she isn’t a 100%. The match is for the taking, and I’m here to collect”
Nevaeh: I see. So, you still mad about what Gabrielle said about your sister?
Hush scribbles something down and then swings to his feet, his once calm demeanor replaced with fury. He hands the paper personally to Nevaeh as he walks out of the room.
“Let’s just say I wrote her exact words on a piece of paper and she is going to eat them. Literally”
The cameras fade as Hush makes his exit and Nevaeh brims with a sinister grin.
A TRIPLE RETURN!
[TRIPLE THREAT MATCH]
Gabrielle Visconty
VS Kenneth Williams
VS Jamaal "Hush" Jackson
VS Kenneth Williams
VS Jamaal "Hush" Jackson
Aiello: Now it's time for some triple threat action. We’ve got Gabrielle Visconty back in action tonight after her surprise appearance at the end of Rampage in Baku, and she’ll be going up against another two superstars returning to BRAWL after a spell out.
Bennett: Oh goody, can’t wait.
Carter: I can sense your enthusiasm from here Bennett. You’re in a foul mood tonight.
Stroup: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it’s a triple threat rules match... Joining us first from Indianapolis, Indiana.. weighing in at 118 pounds ... GABRIELLE VISCONTY!!!
"O.B." by OutKast bangs on the sound system heavily as Gabrielle Visconty darts out from the back, stopping at the top of the ramp as the crowd cheer she makes her way down the ramp towards the ring.
Stroup: And her opponent, From Austin, Texas; weighing in a two hundred and twenty-five pounds... He is the Human Highlight Reel... ladies and gentlemen, KENNETH WILLIAMS!!!
The fans jump straight to their feet in cheer as "Shadowboxin" by the GZA & Method Man begins to play through the PA speakers, Kenneth Williams comes out to the ramp to a thunderous cheer as he makes his way down to the ring.
Stroup: And their opponent, Ladies and Gentlemen, fighting out of Baltimore, Maryland, weighing in at 192 bounds.... HUSHHHHHH
From behind the speakers comes the chorus of Everything to Gain by Pappoose and the crowd scream in unison for the man without a voice. Hush comes out to a loud cheer as he makes his way to the ring.
DING DING DING
As the match starts Hush double drop kicks both Gabi and Williams to the mat. Gabi leans against the ropes holding her shoulder, as she looks to take a cautious approach but Williams bounces back to his feet and charges at Hush. Hush leaps over Williams, who then springboards off of the middle ropes and back towards Hush, wrapping his legs around him and hitting a hurricanrana much to the delight of the crowd. Gabi then makes her move, catching Williams off guard as she hits a flying knee attack on him. Then as Hush gets back to his feet Gabi hits him with a double knee face breaker. Gabi goes for the early pin but Hush kicks out. Williams then tries to hit a running shooting star on Gabi but she rolls out of the way and a Williams lands on Hush instead. Gabi then leaps towards Williams with a crossbody, Williams fries to catch her but they both tumble and roll out of the ring.
On the outside of the ring, Williams and Gabi trade body shots, each trying to get the other hand, neither of them see Hush get to his feet. Hush runs, leaps onto the top turnbuckle then hits a shooting star press onto the outside right on top of Williams and Gabi. All three competitors are down as the crowd cheers the fast paced action.
Aiello: Wow all three superstars have went for it from the first bell! You wouldn’t think Gabi Vee was just out with a recent shoulder injury, she looks good as new.
Bennett: Well they are all fighting to climb the ladder in the EWC once more. They’re taking risks here.
Carter: That shooting star press from Hush was simply beautiful.
Hush is the first up, he picks Gabi up and rolls her into the ring. Hush then springboards from the ring apron, over the top rope, and towards Gabi but she sees it coming and she leaps into the air, dropkicking Hush in mid air. Gabi then picks Hush up and hits her sleeper suplex move she calls Idjitbuster on him. Gabi thinks about going for the pin but then she points to the top rope as the crowd cheer, she climbs to the top turnbuckle looking to hit her finisher Ascension but before she can jump Williams comes from nowhere and pushes her off of the top turnbuckle, she lands nastily on the barricade on the outside.
Williams then climbs the top turnbuckle, he leaps off and hits a 450 splash on Hush. Williams makes the pin but Hush kicks out much to her frustration. As the medical staff are on the outside checking on Gabi, Williams picks Hush up but as he does Hush comes to life and pulls an enziguri out of nowhere clocking Williams in the face. Hush then hits a DDT on Williams, then quickly he leaps to the top turnbuckle then leaps off and hits a perfect Swanson bomb on Williams. Hush pins but Williams kicks out just before the three count.
Aiello: It’s going to take something special to put one of these high flying individuals down tonight.
Bennett: They are certainly pulling out all the stops.
Carter: I hope Gabrielle is ok, that was a nasty fall from the top turnbuckle.
Hush stalks Williams, waiting for him to get up. As Williams gets up, Hush goes for his move Cutter but Williams counters and pushes Hush in the back just as Gabi Vee springboards into the ring and hits her move Wrath on Hush. Williams charges at Gabi but she rolls underneath his clothesline attempt. Before Williams can turn around Gabi Vee leaps onto his shoulders and hits a Reverse Frankensteiner. She then quickly climbs the top turnbuckle and hits her corkscrew shooting star press move she calls Ascension on Williams. Before Gabi can even make the pin Hush comes from nowhere and smashes her with his superkick move he calls Silent Night!!! Gabi rolls out of the ring as Hush picks Williams up and hits his finisher Crickets on him. Hush pins Williams and gets the win!
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winner... HUSHHHHH!
The ref raises Hush's hand as the medics check on Gabi Vee on the outside.
Aiello: What a comeback win for Hush. And what a match we just witnessed.
Bennett: Yeh I got to admit this Hush kid has some talent, it’ll be interesting to see where he goes from here.
Carter: All three superstars tore the house down in that fast paced action match, that’ll be a hard act to follow!
The feed cuts to a studio set backstage at the Oracle Arena, where Brian Spade is seen tapping his papers on his thighs and fiddling nervously with an empty chair across from him. After about 30 seconds of waiting…
Voice: Sorry to keep you waiting.
The Oakland fans cheer as Ace King, United States Champion and #1 Contender to the Undisputed Championship, casually steps forward, shaking Spade’s hand as he sits down and takes his championship off his shoulder before setting it on his lap.
Brian Spade: First of all, Ace, thank you for the time, and congratulations on solidifying yourself as the #1 Contender to the Undisputed Championship.
‘The Gambler’ exhales heavily as Spade finishes, briefly allowing a smile to cross his face.
Ace King: It’s been a little while, so I appreciate hearing that.
Brian Spade: It certainly didn’t come easy, as you outlasted Cyrus Black in what’s already being bandied about as another Match of the Year candidate for you. Now, your focus shifts to Dominic Sanders and the Undisputed Championship at Scars and Stripes. With this being your fifth try at the Undisputed Championship, how is this attempt different from your previous four?
The United States Champion raises an eyebrow at the question, a small smirk crossing his face.
Ace King: Much like Cyrus did in referencing my WrestleFest bout with Drake last week, I’ll spare you the gory details. Instead, I’ll keep it simple: It’s different because I’m a different man than I was with those first four opportunities. Those experiences have hardened me and forced me to adapt and push even harder than I did before, because these chances don’t come around very often, especially for somebody in my situation.
Brian Spade: Your situation is an interesting one, indeed, with this being your fifth shot. However, if you were to come up short again, you could still be in line for a sixth opportunity in the main event for Night of Champions in Montreal. Does that factor into your…
Before Spade can finish the question, Ace puts his hand up and shakes his head, clearly agitated.
Ace King: Three questions for you: One, do you hear yourself right now? Two, with all due respect, do you know where you work? Finally, do you know who you’re talking to? You can’t look past a single opponent in EWC, because anyone can win on any given night. Now, Mr. Naberius will obviously want his say on the matter at some point, but the second I focus on him, I’m taking my eye off the ball, and with the biggest prize in professional wrestling at stake, that’s not something I can afford to do, because regardless of what you think of him, Dominic Sanders is as good as it gets in this industry right now.
Spade raises an eyebrow at the fiery answer from the United States Champion, though a small smile washes across his face.
Brian Spade: I’ve gotten a sense of this answer already, but just to verbalize it, what would it mean to finally realize your dream of becoming EWC Undisputed Champion?
‘The Gambler’ sits back in his chair, taking a breath as he collects his thoughts.
Ace King: Obviously, it would be amazing, but I haven’t thought about it for a long time, because the second you start down that road… The second you start believing your own hype… You’re dead in the water. So, as amazing as it would be, there’s no sense thinking about a hypothetical, not when the stakes are this high. All I can do is leave it all between the ropes in The Big House and let the chips fall where they may. I know Dominic’s wanted this almost as much as I have, if not more, so I’ll be more ready to fight than I’ve ever been.
With that, Ace stands up and shakes Spade’s hand, then slings the United States Championship back over his shoulder as he leaves the interview set. Spade simply stares off into the distance as the feed cuts to a commercial break...
We cut backstage, where we find Jim Connors standing by inside the office.
Connors: Greetings, Brawl fans! As you saw earlier tonight, the road to Scars and Stripes is well underway and I am excited to present to you even more information on what myself and AC Delaney have in store for you! We've decided to give a spotlight to eight of our up and coming Brawl and Rampage superstars with an eight-person tournament. Four superstars from each brand will compete for the brilliant and quite frankly shiny prize we have in store for you...the Golden Ticket!
This gets a slightly confused pop from the crowd, excited but unsure just what this entails.
Connors: I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no...I'm not going to get into a musical number like I'm Willy Wonka. With title shots being established like crazy the past few weeks, AC and I decided that this Golden Ticket is more than just a title shot...it gives its recipient the right to anything he or she desires, within reason. We will be announcing the competitors in this tournament on the EWC website, so make sure to keep an eye out and discuss all the latest happenings on social media and the discussion forums...wherever those might be. Let's see what these up and comers and do, shall we!?
The crowd is electric for the news as we cut to...
CLASH OF CHAMPIONS!
[NON-TITLE SINGLES MATCH]
Kendrick Kross (c)
VS Scorpio (c)
VS Scorpio (c)
Aiello: Welcome back, everyone! We just got word about a tournament at Scars and Stripes for a Golden Ticket, and up next we're about to see another cross-brand fight. Champion versus champion, Scorpio versus our very own Kendrick Kross!
Bennett: I admit, K2's been stepping up his game. Not only did he retain his X-Division Championship, he even secured a W against Xavier Freaking Reid. That is, admittedly, impressive. I wanna see if he can keep this momentum up.
Carter: I think we all do. Scorpio may be seen more often in tag matches with his partner, Georgie Nickles, but he's shown he can handle his own in singles when the time arrives.
3 seconds guitar intro plays before the first line of the Chorus 'ONE MINUTE YOU'RE ON TOP!
At the word top red Pyro shoot straight up from the stage. Kendrick is revealed on the stage with a red spotlight put on him, his X-Division Championship around his waist. Kendrick reaches back and unsnaps the title throwing it on his right shoulder. A smirk crosses his face before he begins to walk down.
Stroup: The following match is a singles, non-title Champion versus Champion Match! Joining us first, from Chelsea, London, weighing in at 215 pounds ... KENDRICK KROSS!
Kendrick slowly walks down the ramp ignoring any fans that try to touch him and the (championship here). He just shakes his head at signs that read 'Kendrick Sucks' and other various signs. He reaches the bottom of the ramp and stops as he lets a small smirk out and he takes a breath. He closes his eyes before opening them and walking forward taking a left towards the steps. He hops over the top rope and onto the second turnbuckle looking out into the crowd raising his X-Division Championship before jumping down and walking to his corner.
Stroup: And his opponent, from London, England, weighing in at 205 pounds ... 'The S-Factor'... 'The People's Camp'... SCORPIO!
'Iconic' by Madonna feat. Chance The Rapper hits the speakers as the house lights go down, switching to a spotlight focused on the curtain. It parts, revealing 'The S-Factor' Scorpio stood behind, a hand on his hip, the other raised above his head, cutting a beautiful silhouette. He sashays forward, a long coat dripping in jewels swaying with every step. Behind him steps Crème de la Crème, Scorpio's drag queen confidant and manager. The two look to one another and nod, before Scorpio opens his coat and drops it to the floor, revealing another stunning outfit. He steps down the ramp with a confident strut, emulating that of the catwalk models of Paris and Milan, before reaching the ring. Scorpio climbs up one set of steps as Crème climbs the other, parting the ropes to allow 'The People's Camp' in. Stepping into the middle of the ring Scorpio raises one arm, and blows a kiss with the other, a smile forming on his beautifully made-up face.
DING DING DING
Kross makes the first move after the two circle one another briefly. He runs forward and uses the difference in strength and weight between them to his advantage. His arms wrap around Scorpio's waist and ... WHAM! The People's Camp is thrown over K2 with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex.
Kendrick turns and stares briefly at a downed Scorpio, looking rather pleased with himself. He saunters forward and begins to reach for Scorpio's arm to force him back up to his feet. The S-Factor, however, refuses to be assisted up ... and shows this by giving Kendrick a brutal Roundhouse Kick to the X-Division Champion's temple!
We see Scorpio mouth something to Kendrick as he brushes himself off and gets up on his own strength and will power.
Aiello: Ouch! That kick to Kendrick's head looked especially painful.
Bennett: He's wearing fucking heeled boots! Of course it's gonna hurt like hell!
Carter: Heels or not, it's still early in this match. Way too soon to determine who'll come out as the victor.
Scorpio gets right back on the attack, unloading on the X-Division Champion with lefts and rights before sending Kross against the ropes, hitting a beautiful dropkick upon K2's return to range. It sends Kross reeling toward the turnbuckle, where Scorpio takes advantage by grabbing K2's head and launching himself off the turnbuckle, driving the head of Kross down with a tornado DDT! The S-Factor looks to bring things to an end here as he taunts Kross to get up!
Aiello: Scorpio's looking for that AGR! If he hits this, it's all over for the X-Division Champion
Bennett: Don't count the champ out yet, Joe! Kross still has a whole lotta fight left in him, I can just feel it!
Kross slowly gets to his feet, giving Scorpio a chance to leap up for the AGR...but Kendrick pushes the S-Factor off, hitting a neckbreaker out of nowhere instead! The fans in support of Brawl and the X-Division are chanting K2's name, willing him on as he gets his second wind with a flurry of offense on the Tag Team Champion! Kross finishes with a wonderful vertical suplex, three times over as the crowd counts them off. Kross looks to be in his zone now as he taunts Scorpio before climbing the turnbuckle, looking for that Post Mortem as he launches himself off the top--NO! Scorpio kips up and hits the AGR at the last second! The crowd is electric as the S-Factor goes for the cover!
1!
2!!
3!!!
DING DING DING
Stroup: Here is your winner, the S-Factor...Scorpio!
The ref raises Scorpio's arm in victory, and after a moment of soaking in the win the S-Factor looks at Kendrick who has made it back to his feet. Scorpio looks at K2 with a smirk on his face...and with a hand extended toward the X-Division Champion. Kendrick looks at Scorpio's hand, and after a little hesitation shakes hands in a show of sportsmanship!
Aiello: What an absolute thriller of a match, and a high note to end it on! Two champions showing their heart as much as their determination as competitors.
Bennett: These two went hell for leather, but at the end of the day it was Rampage's S-Factor who came out on top.
Carter: An impressive showing from both men, for sure!
Aiello: And up next we're gonna find out who faces Kendrick Kross for the X-Division Championship! Two upstart talent on the red brand go to war in an X-Division Rules match with a lot on the line, stay tuned!
Camera cuts to ...
Wait a minute, what's this? Up on the MacTron is the team of Damage Inc. from FSW, standing outside the Cow Palace! A wicked smirk appears on the face of Malice and Mayhem, mockingly applauding Scorpio after this match.
Malice: Great job, S-Factor...you really showed Kendrick, didn't you?
Mayhem: We've been giving it some thought after winning our right to those EWC Tag Team Championships...why wait, when we can strike while the iron is hot?
Damage Inc. chuckle at this, drawing heavy boos from the crowd.
Malice: We earned our title shot, and we've come to a decision...Scars and Stripes may be a Brawl and Rampage production, but we are the Future Stars of this business, and we're invading your precious little Pay-Per-View. We're gonna make good on the name of the show, and give you AND Georgie Porgie some scars when we take those titles to FSW.
The crowd boo in disapproval as we cut to commercial.
We cut to the backstage area where Dominic Sanders is walking through the hallway with the Undisputed Championship slung over his left shoulder.
Voice: DOMINIC!
Sanders stops and looks to his left. He sees Brian Spades coming towards him quickly. He shakes his head and grabs the bridge of his nose with his fingers, closes his eyes, and lowers his head.
Sanders: Yes, Brian?
Spades: I was wondering if I can get a moment with you.
Sanders raises his head and looks at Spades. He gives a fake smile.
Sanders: Absolutely, old buddy, old pal…
Spades: Okay. Two weeks from tonight you will face the longest-reigning United States Champion in EWC history. What are your thoughts going into your biggest Championship defense to date?
Sanders: My “biggest Championship defense to date.” Well, Brian. It’s only number two, unfortunately. I would love to say there have been more, but that’s not on me. And if you think that I am treating this any differently than when I faced Xavier Reid at StrangleMania on THE BIGGEST stage of them all then you’re sorely mistaken. Ace King is a future Hall of Famer, there’s no question about that. But I’ve been in the ring with him on a few occasions. And every time I have, I’ve come out successful minus the first time. And we all know a lot of things have changed since June of 2018.
Spades: Dominic, should you successfully defeat Ace King, you will Main Event Night of Champions in August and you could potentially see Ace King once more that night, along with Cyrus Black and the rest of the EWC Champions. What would it mean to you to win both of these next HUGE Undisputed Championship defenses?
Sanders: Night of Champions? You’re worried about Night of Champions? Don’t count your chickens, Brian. Should I get past Ace King at Scars and Stripes, then you can ask me about that.
Spades: Okay… Going back to Scars and Stripes, then. On that night, you will have been the Undisputed Champion for 210 days. Should you get past Ace King, you will pass Ashton Drake’s 2017 reign and have the longest Undisputed Championship reign since Jaden Hunter in 2015. That’s four years of history that you will have surpassed.
Sanders: I don’t think I understand your question, Brian. In fact, I don’t know if it IS a question. If you excuse me, Brian, I’ve got a job to do.
Sanders walks away leaving Brian Spades alone. Spades awkwardly turns to the camera.
Spades: Uh, okay. Back to you guys.
With that we cut to...
X-DIVISION X-HILARATION
[X-DIVISION RULES - WINNER BECOMES #1 CONTENDER FOR THE X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP]
Bill Bashem
VS Stephanie Matsuda
VS Stephanie Matsuda
Aiello: Now things are about to heat up here in Oakland because we are about to crown our number one contender to the X-Division championship. BRAWLs very own war queen will go one on one with big bad Bill Bashem.
Bennett: As always if I don’t see some blood and gore, if I don’t see some broken bones I won’t be happy cause I’ll feel like the wrestlers just aren’t committing to the X-Division cause.
Carter: Bennett I worry about you.
Stroup: The following is an X-Division rules match and is scheduled for one fall... Making her way to the ring! Being accompanied by Monica Vaughan! From Brooklyn, NY! Weighing in at 132lbs,” The War Queen” Stephanie Matsuda!
Let’s Go” by Run the Jewels plays as Stephanie Matsuda walks out trailed by manager Monica Vaughan. They both walked down towards the ring.
Stroup: And her opponent... hailing from the neon-soaked streets of Los Angeles. He stands at six foot even and weighs in at two hundred, twenty pounds. He smashes! He bashes! He is "Big Bad" Bill Bashem
Carpenter Brut's "Turbo Killer" booms over the PA with a synchronized barrage of strobe and neon lights. Finally, at the thirty nine second mark, Bill Bashem emerges onto the stage and walks down towards the ring.
Aiello: Last time out on Brawl Stephanie Matsuda scored a big victory in the triple threat match and Bill Bashem got his debut win against SP Rancid, so this match is evenly balanced. Matsuda is as tough as they come, she’s a real warrior but Bashem has showed he will do whatever it takes to get that win.
DING DING DING
Bashem rolls out of the ring at start of the match before Matsuda can go after him. The fans jeer and boo him as he cockily struts around the ring, with Matsuda on the inside eyeballing him with anger. Bashem sees a young child holding up a “War Queen - Stephanie Matsuda” sign. He approaches the child, grabbing the sign and ripping it up in front of them, causing the child to start crying.
Matsuda has seen enough, she leaps off of the ring apron and hits Bashem with one of her moves a flying forearm smash she calls Final Heaven. Matsuda then runs Bashem head first into the ring post as the fans cheer. Matsuda throws Bashem onto the announce table, then she climbs on the table herself. Matsuda picks Bashem up, lifting him and hitting a sitout powerbomb straight through the announce which seems to hurt Matsuda just as much as Bashem.
Aiello: Dear lord, Stephanie Matsuda just put Bill Bashem through the announce table and the crowd are loving it!
Bennett: She caught Bill off guard! I don’t think that’s fair.
Carter: Come on Bennett, Bashem was too busy trolling the fans, he should’ve been keeping his eyes on Matsuda at all times.
Bashem crawls towards the ring as Matsuda gets to her feet. Matsuda goes after Bashem she doesn’t see him reach his arm underneath the ring apron, just as she is about get her hands on him Bashem spins around and cracks Matsuda in the stomach with a kendo stick. Matsuda buckles over in pain, Bashem pulls himself to his feet and he brings the kendo stick down hard on Matsuda’s back multiple times.
With Matsuda on her hands and knees, Bashem jumps onto the ring apron, he then leaps high in the air and raising the kendo stick he cracks it over Matsuda's back one final time, snapping the stick in half on the process. Bashem looks pleased with his work as he stares at a fallen Matsuda. Bashem swipes his foot on the back of Matsuda's head for added insult, before he turns her over and plants a foot on her chest, ordering the ref to count. Just at the two and half count as Bashem has his arms raised in the air Matsuda somehow gets her shoulder up, much to the delight of the crowd and the dismay of Bashem.
Aiello: Bashem is going to have to do more than that to put Matsuda away! She is a fighter.
Bennett: Matsuda doesn’t look like a fighter right now, she should’ve just gave up there because Bill Bashem won’t hesitate to hurt her badly just for the hell of it.
Carter: This is for the right to challenge Kendrick Kross for the X-Division title, so don’t expect either of these superstars to give up easily.
Bashem rolls Matsuda into the ring, then he collects a chair steel and makes his way into the ring himself. Matsuda is on her feet, holding her back in pain as Bashem comes at her with the chair. Matsuda catches Bashem with a sharp kick to the gut before he can hit her with chair. As Bashem drops the chair on the floor, Matsuda hits Bashem with a series of hard strikes to the body and face. As Bashem drops to one knees Matsuda runs off of the ropes and back towards him, but Bashem pounces up and grabs Matsuda, suprising her as he hits his trademark DDT an Ode to Jake the Snake right into the steel chair. Bashem throws his arm over Matsuda for the cover but again she kicks out at the two and half count.
Bashem can’t believe it, as he gets to his feet and kicks Matsuda in the body and head a few times. He then places the chair on Matsuda's stomach, before he climbs the top turnbuckle. Bashem looks out around the crowd with a grin on his face before he jumps off the top turnbuckle with his diving elbow drop he calls Death from Above. Matsuda moves out of the way at the last second and Bashem lands on the steel chair. Matsuda pulls Bashem up and hits her package piledriver move she calls Special Delivery, she then makes the pin. Bashem somehow kicks out at two! The fans are on there feet applauding both superstars efforts.
After a moment of rest both Matsuda and Bashem face each other, leaning against opposite ropes. After a stare off, they both charge at each other, Matsuda goes for a superkick she calls Yahtzee! But at the same time Bashem goes for his own version of the superkick that he calls Here is Sub-Zero, now Plain Zero! Incredibly both superstars catch each other with their respective kicks, as they both fall to the mat Bashem hits the floor first and Matsuda falls on top of him. The ref makes the pin and Matsuda gets the win!
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winner, via pinfall STEPHANIE MATSUDA!!!!
The ref raises Matsudas arm as she lays out cold on the mat next to Bashem.
Aiello: Wow what a battle and what an ending! That was like throwing a coin up in the air and seeing where it landed! They both hit the super kick but Matsuda just so happened to collapse on top of Bashem and get the win!
Bennett: Matsuda got lucky! Bill Bashem was screwed! I demand a rematch.
Carter: I would hardly say Stephanie Matsuda got lucky, both these superstars kick the crap out of each other and that double super kick at the end was a highlight reel moment that we will be replaying for years to come!
Aiello: Congratulations to Stephanie Matsuda the new number one contender to the X-Division championship. Now folks after this short break it’ll be main event time.... America’s Most Hated versus the KiltBros!!! You don’t wanna miss this!!!
Camera cuts to a commercial.
Camera cuts backstage as Cyrus Black is coming out of the #Kiltbros dressing room with only his kilt on. Ace Heart is standing waiting on Cyrus.
Cyrus: Hey... we aren’t wearing any underwear underneath our kilts tonight right? Or are we suppose to... Kyle are you wearing underwear? Maybe we should..
Cyrus closes the dressing room door and notices Ace Heart.
Cyrus: Oh hey.. Ace didn’t see you there. What can I do for you?
Ace H: I wanted to get your thoughts on Rampage in Baku, you lost the number one contender match to Ace King and then Gabrielle Visconty seems to have issued a challenge to you for the International Championship, which you seemed to accept...
Cyrus laughs and puts a hand on Aces shoulder.
Cyrus: Between you and me, Gabi loves me. She’s been a Cyrus Black fan for years, she even wanted to become a member of Kiltbros but we had to decline her application unfortunately... she just didn’t make the cut, because she’s just too damn cute and we already have Kyle in the team so...
Ace H: Um... so did you accept her challenge for your title?
Cyrus: Of course I did. I accept any challenge. She’s been chasing me for months now but It’s not up to me, it’s up to egghead Price and his band of merry men. I will fight Gabi Vee anytime anywhere anyplace. If it so happens to be at Scars and Stripes then I can’t wait. It’s about time myself and Gabi got up close and personal in the ring...
Cyrus winks at Ace and turns to leave but Ace stops him.
Ace: Sorry... Cyrus... a quick word on your loss to Ace King...
Cyrus stares at Ace for a moment, his fun demeanor replaced by more serious one.
Cyrus: I lost to Ace fair and square, he deserves the shot at Dominic at Scars and Stripes... but I want to say something to both Ace and Dominic...If either of them think that after one loss I’m just going to take my seat at the back of the bus... they haven’t been paying attention.
Cyrus pauses and grins.
Cyrus: Everyone seems to be backing Ace to beat Dominic, I wouldn’t be too sure about that but in truth I don’t care who comes out as the winner, either way, I’ll be waiting.
Cyrus pats Ace Heart on the back and makes his way down the corridor as the camera cuts to...
THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN BRANDS COLLIDE!
[TAG TEAM MATCH]
Dominic Sanders/Iggy Swango (AMH)
VS Cyrus Black/David "Octane" Gowolski (KiltBros)
[TAG TEAM MATCH]
Dominic Sanders/Iggy Swango (AMH)
VS Cyrus Black/David "Octane" Gowolski (KiltBros)
Aiello: It’s main event time and what a match up we have for you! It’s America’s most Hated going one on one with the #Kiltbros! The Undisputed champion Dominic Sanders and the new recruit Iggy Swango teaming up to face the International Champion Cyrus Black and the man who pushed the Dominic Sanders to the limit on Rampage... David ‘Octane’ Gowolski.
Bennett: You know I don’t understand what people’s issues are with Iggy Swango joining America’s Most Hated, it’s a smart career move. She gets to use AMH as a stepping stone to greater things and Dominic Sanders has recruited a new valuable member to his team. It’s a win win for everyone. Cyrus and DOG are just jealous that Dominic didn’t recruit them. So now they have to keep running around with those stupid skirts on.
Carter: It’s a called a kilt Bennett. And as for Iggy joining AMH, I think people are finding it so hard to believe that such a well liked figure would choose to all of a sudden align herself with a group of the most hated people in the EWC.
The lights go out in the Oracle Arena. 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.
"So I pick the world up and I'ma drop it on your fucking head!"
Dominic beats his chest with both fists and raises the Undisputed championship high in the air with a roar. The crowd boos even louder, and with a cocky grin on his face, Dominic turns around, takes a step to the side and points towards the entrance way and suddenly“3’s & 7’s” by Queens of the Stone Age hits the arena as the lights dim......
Aiello: And here comes AMHs newest member... Iggy Swango!
The light strobe 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. As the crowd seem to torn, some are booing her and some are cheering her loudly Iggy stands at the top of the stage for a few moments as she nods her head to the rhythm of the music, before turning towards Dominic Sanders and giving him a nod of the head. Sanders claps his hands with a huge grin on his face as they both make there way down the ramp towards the ring.
Stroup: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall, Introducing first... from Aledo, Texas. Weighing in at two hundred and seventy pounds... He is the EWC Undisputed Champion! DOMINIIIIC SAAAAANDEEERS!! and his partner standing in at five feet seven inches tall, weighing at one hundred and forty-five pounds, from San Francisco, California... IGGGYYY SWAAAANNNNGGGGOOOOOO!! And together they are representing.... AMERICAS MOST HATED!!
Bennett: Carter don’t be so rude, stand up and give your Undisputed champion a round of applause! Show some respect to the best there is and best there ever will be!! He is our champion forever!
Carter: Oh give me a break. Wait till Ace get his hands on him at Scars and Stripes...
Bennett: How dare you.
The lights in the arena go out and the MacTron flickers on a familiar scene inside of a barber shop. The inhabitants are three older gentlemen, who look like aged versions of the Kilt Brothers. Very aged versions.
Not ‘old Cyrus Black’: You must be outta your God-damned mind! Dominic Sanders the greatest wrestler who ever lived. I'll be with you boys in a minute. He was badder than Maggie Lockheart, he was better than Morgan Darkwater, he was badder than - who's that old boy? Taco Man! Look like a bull dog! He is badder than him too! He'd whip Taco Man's ass, he'd whip all their asses!
Not ‘old Kyle Gautier’: What about Cyrus Black?
Not ‘old Cyrus Black’: Oh, there they go! There they go! Every time I start talking about wrasslin', this man gotta pull Cyrus Black outta his ass! That's his one! That's his one! Cyrus Black ! Cyrus Black ! Lemme tell you something once and for all! Cyrus Black is good, but compared to Dominic Sanders , Cyrus Black ain't shit!
Not ‘old DOG’: He beat Dominic Sanders ass!
Not ‘old Kyle Gautier’: That’s right, he did whip Dominic Sanders’ ass!
Not ‘old Cyrus Black’: Dominic Sanders was seventy-five years old when he fought!
Not ‘old DOG’: I don't know how old he was, but he got his ass whooped.
Not ‘old Cyrus Black’: Dominic Sanders was seventy-six years old! Dominic Sanders always lied about his age! He lied about his age all the time! One time, Gil Griffin came in here, and sat in this chair. I say, "Gil, you hang out with Dominic Sanders . Just between me and you, how old is Dominic Sanders ?" Know what Gil told me? He said "Hey, Dominic Sanders is a hundred thirty-seven years old." A hundred and thirty-seven years old!
Not ‘old Kyle Gautier’: Oh, man, you ain't never meet no Gil Griffin
Not ‘old Cyrus Black’: FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! AND FUCK YOU! Who's next?
The scene ends and a spotlight shines on the entrance ramp to illuminate Kyle Gautier in a kilt and sash combo with a microphone.
Kyle: From Dublin... to Brussels, Madrid, Berlin, Baku and back again.... America... we're here!
The crowd erupts as a version James Brown’s “Living in America” plaid, with the chorus cheekily changed to Kilted in America.
Kyle: I introduce to you the winners of the Ab and Jab competition of 2014, weighing in at none of your gotdammed business….Cyrus Black, David “Octane” Gowalski.. THEEEEEEEE KILTBROSSSSSSSSS!!!
Walking out in their kilts, with the American flag patch fashioned centrally on them, Cyrus and DOG join Kyle at the top of the ramp. They do a three way fist bump pose and stalk down the ramp, high fiving the hell out of hands.
Bennett: What... in the hell did I just watch there... my eyes are burning, my ears are bleeding, i feel violated.
Aiello: The Kiltbros took the EWC European tour by storm, gaining an army of fans.. and now there looking to continue there success back in the USA.
As the Kilt Bros and America’s Most Hated get heated in the ring, just as the timekeeper’s about to strike the bell…
“THE ACE OF SPADES! THE ACE OF SPADES!”
Bennett: Ahh, fuck. Are you kidding me... not him. This arena is crowded with enough morons as it is.
Carter: Oh, here we go!
‘Ace of Spades’ ramps up in the Oracle Arena, and it’s not long before United States Champion Ace King appears on the stage, his championship over his shoulder. He’s still walking gingerly on his right foot as he makes his way down to ringside, his arms outstretched to greet fans as both Sanders and Black appear less than amused, while Swango and DOG look relatively indifferent to it all.
Aiello: Business has just picked up. The United States Champion and number one contender to the EWC Undisputed championship is here ladies and gentlemen!!! Ace is clearly still feeling the effects of Friday night halfway across the world, and he’s clearly not 100%. However, the bottom line is that he found a way to get the job done, and as we saw earlier tonight, he’s off to the Scars and Stripes main event in two weeks time.
Bennett: This son o’ bitch makes Bob Ross seem exciting.
Carter: Don’t have a happy accident over there, Steve.
Bennett: ...Son o’ bitch.
Despite feeling their eyes upon him, Ace doesn’t pay them any mind as he goes to ringside, shaking the commentary team’s hands, though Bennett noticeably declines; he puts a headset on and taking a seat next to Carter.
Aiello: A pleasure to have you join us for this one.
Ace King: Gentlemen…
Bennett: Lucky bastard…
Ace King: WELL, aren’t you just as chipper as ever?
Bennett goes to answer, but his words are drowned out by the timekeeper’s bell.

Sanders gets in the ring first for his team, and seeing this, DOG decides to step in for his team first as he wants his hands on Sanders. As DOG makes his way towards Sanders, the undisputed champ backs off and with a cheeky grin on his face he reaches his hand back and tags Swango into the match. DOG isn’t impressed as he still tries to get at Sanders, who has his body half in the ring and half out. The ref holds DOG back as Swango gets into the ring. Sanders looks pleased with himself as he turns and gives Ace a wink at the commentary table.
Aiello: I think that wink was directed at our guest here at the announce table.
Bennett: Great mind games being played by Dominic Sanders here. The Undisputed champ is always in control, just remember that Ace.
The camera pans in on Ace, who smirks a little but doesn’t say anything, his eyes firmly locked on the action inside the ring.
Carter: DOG was desperate to get his claws into Dominic Sanders but he’ll have to make do with Iggy Swango for now.
Swango and DOG lock up. Swango throws DOG off of the ropes, as he comes back at her Swango goes for a clothesline but DOG ducks under her arm, and then he leaps backwards and hits Swango with a pele kick. Swango falls back again the ropes but she manages to bounces back towards DOG, hitting him with a spinning heel kick. Both DOG and Swango are on the mat, both dazed as Cyrus leans across ropes and shouts encouragement at DOG. Meanwhile in the outside Kyle Gautier is trying to hand out Kiltbro Sashes to the announce team.
Bennett: Get that disgusting sash out of my face.
Carter: You are in a foul mood tonight Bennett... I’ll take a sash. Thank you Kyle.
Swango gets to her feet first, she throws a hand over to Sanders and makes the tag. Before DOG can tag in Cyrus Sanders runs over and boots him hard in the back of the head. Sanders waves cockily at Cyrus who responds by giving him the middle finger much to the delight of the crowd. Sanders grabs a handful of DOG hair and shouts abuse in his face, before whipping him hard into the corner. Sanders then runs and hits DOG with a high big boot as he lays in the corner, Sanders then grabs a hold of DOG before he can fall to the floor, he lifts him high in the air and brings him back down into the mat with a spine buster. Sanders reaches over and tags in Swango.
Sanders then picks up DOG onto his shoulders, then Swango climbs the top turnbuckle and leaps off, hitting DOG with a flying European uppercut which sends him flying off of Sanders shoulder onto the mat below. Swango makes the pin...

TWO.... DOG gets a shoulder up. Swango tags Sanders in again and the two start to stomp on DOGs body as he lays on the mat. The ref has to stop Cyrus from getting into the ring. Sanders points and laughs at him as Swango goes back to her corner.
Aiello: I must admit Iggy Swango and Dominic Sanders are working well as team right now!
Bennett: Of course they are, they are two premier athletes, and there up against two goofs wearing stupid skirts!
Ace: Kilts.
Bennett: You are really annoying me Ace. I can’t wait until the champ bashed your head in at Scars and Stripes.
Sanders picks DOG up and whips him off of the ropes, as DOG comes back at him, Sanders lifts him high in the air but as he does DOG manages to hit a mid air drop kick, catching Sanders off guard. The dropkick sends Sanders off falling to the mat as he rolls out of the ring. DOG pulls himself towards Cyrus, just as he’s about to make the tag Swango rushes over and smashes him in the back of the head with a forearm smash. The ref turns around and warns Swango who laughs and backs off towards her corner.
Cyrus reaches over the ropes and extends his arm towards DOG who’s lays face down on the mat still stunned from Swangos assault. After a brief moment DOG looks up and slowly reaches to make the tag, his fingertips inches away from touching Cyrus’s hand. Just before they tag Sanders swipes Cyrus legs from underneath him, causing him to fall from the ring apron to the floor below. As the fans jeer Sanders, he raises his arms in the air and trolls them, but he doesn’t see DOG who’s back on his feet already. DOG bounces off of the middles ropes and front flips over the top rope, landing straight on top of Sanders.
Aiello: What a high risk move from DOG and it paid off!!!
DOG gets on top of Sanders and stares pummeling him with multiple elbow strikes. Swango runs around the ring towards them, but before she can get there Cyrus cuts her off, grabbing a hold of her and positioning himself next to the steel steps, he hooks Swangos leg up and throws her backwards for a T-bone as her body crashes against the steel steps.
DOG picks Sanders up and rolls him into the ring, before following suit. As Sanders tries to get to his feet DOG catches him with a cross body boxing punch, and then a jab to the jaw which stuns him. DOG then tags in Cyrus, and as Kyle Gautier bangs on the ring apron and starts a KILTBROS chant around the arena. DOG runs off one side of the ropes and Cyrus runs off of the other, as DOG comes back at Sanders, he throws a sharp kick which connects with his chest and at the same time Cyrus comes from behind Sanders and hits a hard kick to the back of the his neck. Sanders crumpled to the floor as Cyrus and DOG share a fist bump.
Carter: That’s team work right there by the Kiltbros!
Cyrus locks Sanders up in a Bow and arrow choke hold. With Sanders still dazed, and struggling to breath, he looks to be losing consciousness when Swango slides into the ring and drops a hard elbow right on top of Cyrus. The ref grabs Swango and warns her one more time and they’ll be disqualified.
As Swango gets to her corner, Sanders pulls himself to his feet, he pulls Cyrus up, grabbing him by the throat and lifting him up in the air he hits a devastating chokeslam. Sanders pins Cyrus....

THR...Cyrus kicks out! Sanders reaches over and tags Swango into the match.
Bennett: You see that chokeslam Ace. That’s what’s heading your way in a few weeks time.
As Cyrus tries to get to his knees Swango charges at him and catches him with a strong knee strike to the chest. She then hits him with rapid multiple knee strikes to the face. Swango picks Cyrus up, spins him around, throwing him backwards with a hook leg German suplex. Swango tags Sanders back in as Cyrus rolls out of the ring to the floor. Sanders follows him to the outside, as Cyrus pulls himself up at the announce table, Sanders rushes at him, hitting a hard clothesline sending him on top of the table. Sanders grabs a hold of Cyrus head and bashes it off of the table few times.
Sanders looks pleased with himself as he eyeballs Ace. Sanders walks around the announce table and mouths something to Ace who immediately stands up and gets in Sanders face. Ace and Sanders go head to head, and just when it looks like it’s going to kick off between them a Kiltbros sash is thrown into Sanders face. Sanders turns to see Kyle Gautier shrugging his shoulders at him. Sanders angrily starts to move towards Gautier when DOG comes flying from the ring apron, catching Sanders with a flying dropkick that sends him crashing into the barricade. Just as DOG gets to his feet Swango rushes at him, catching him with a running big boot. Swango helps Sanders up and gets him into the ring before the ten count, and Cyrus also just makes it into the ring. Swango and Sanders starts stomping on Cyrus with viscous kicks as he tries to fight back. DOG then bounces into the right and all hell breaks loose as all four competitors start smashing into each other with punches and kicks.
Aiello: My god it’s all out war in there! The referee needs to get a handle on this!
The referee tries to get in between the two teams, as Swango goes back to her corner, Sanders reaches forward and tags her in. Cyrus does the same with DOG, just then Sanders tackles Cyrus and they both fall through the middle ropes to the outside. Cyrus and Sanders are beating the crap out of each other as Swango charges towards DOG, he leaps over her, as she turns around DOG kicks Swango in the gut and hits his finisher he calls Broken Reality, he makes the pin. .

Stroup: And your winners, via pinfall THEEEEE KILTBROSSSSSSS!
All three Kiltbros celebrate on the outside as they make there way up the ramp. Sanders and Swango are in the ring wondering what’s just happened, just then Ace King slides into the ring, and he’s holding the Undisputed championship. Sanders is enraged, he gets in Aces face as Ace shoves the championship into his chest.
Carter: Oh boy business is about to pick up now!
Bennett: Ace King should know his place! He has no business touching something that doesn’t belong to him.
All of a sudden from the crowd Draco Lazarus and Melody Malone jump the barricade and slide into the ring, Ace is surrounded by America’s most Hated. Ace isn’t waiting to be jumped as he goes right after Sanders hitting a couple of punches as Sanders responds with a few shots of his own before the rest of America’s most Hated attack Ace. With all four kicking into him as he falls to the floor there’s a loud cheer around the arena as the KIltbros charge back into the ring.
It turns into brawl as the three kitlbros try and fight off the four members of AMH, but they are starting to be overcome by the numbers game... until Ace King gets back on his feet and he evens the odds, it’s now four on four as everyone starts beating the crap out of each other. Security and referees run down towards the ring as they try and split up the fight.
Aiello: This is absolute carnage!!! The Kiltbros, Ace King And America’s most hated have imploded here tonight and they are all beating the hell out of each other in front of our very own eyes!
Bennett: Why are the Kiltbros getting involved? This isn’t there business!
Carter: Maybe because it was four on one, America’s Most Hated against Ace King on his own.
Bennett: Maybe Ace King should’ve stayed out of the ring then! He gets what he deserves tonight and he will get what’s coming to him at Scars and Stripes mark my words!
Aiello: Folks while the security and officials try and manage the chaos that’s going on in and around the ring we will end the show there. Join us in two weeks time for Scars and Stripes, if tonight is any indication then it’s sure to be one hell of a night! Thank you and good night.
As the scene fades America’s most hated are being pushed up the ramp by security, and officials are in the ring holding back Ace King, and the Kiltbros who are standing side by side. Dominic Sanders holds up the Undisputed Championship at the top for the ramp and the camera picks him up shouting towards the ring “This is mine. You’ll never get your hands on this you son of a bitch.” Ace is leaning against the ropes, his eyes fixated on Sanders and the championship.
