"STARTAFIGHT" by Joey Valence & Brae blasts in the Arena
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 #599 in Athens, Greece.
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, and Ruthless Aggression, all with the EWC Championship.
From there we look at the dawning of the Undisputed Championship as we know it today, with a focus on the men and women who have been a part of the red brand who have held the illustrious title including Sour Candy, Dominic Sanders, Cyrus Black, and Xavier Reid, before ending on the current champion Lavender.
Sped up footage again then takes us through to current Monday Night BRAWL Superstars: Xavier Reid, King Flip, KU, Antoni Malietoa, Stitches, Melinda Rhodes, Darius, Dio, JoJo Rush, Bathsheba, S.T., Alex "Bullet" Carbajal, Chelsea Skye, Zack Tyler, Elissa Bradley, Alexander Umbra, and others making their way onto the red brand.
We then get a shot of the Champions of BRAWL:
Alexander Umbra with the FX Broadcast Championship
Darius with the EWC International Championship
The opening pyros blast across the stage and here we go.
A wide aerial shot throughout the MGM Grand Garden Arena shows us just how excited the crowd is for Monday Night BRAWL!

A chant begins of
"MNB!"
"MNB!"
"MNB!"
"MNB!"
A thick layer of fog circles the arena, and camera flashes repeatedly strobe the area!
The camera feed pans to different areas in the arena 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, some reading:
"LOOK AT US GOING DOUBLE OR NOTHING FOR BRAWL TONIGHT"
"THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS...WHICH IS WHY I'M BROKE AF"
"I PUT GOOD MONEY ON THAT BATTLE ROYAL AND I'M READY TO COLLECT"
"ALWAYS BET ON REID"
"WANNA PLAY 21?"
and "VIVA BRAWL VEGAS"
Aiello: Hello everyone and welcome to the historic six hundredth episode of Monday Night BRAWL! I'm Joe Aiello alongside EWC Hall of Famer Steve Bennett, and we want to thank you first and foremost for tuning in over the years. We are excited to continue the standing tradition of bringing the absolute best that the red brand has to offer, because boy howdy do we have a lineup ahead of us tonight!
Bennett: Damn right we do Joe, holy smokes! We have a stacked main event, nine competitors step into the ring for a battle royal but only one will come out with the prize on the line! Five hundred grand on the line for all nine of them, but one of the six BRAWL competitors are also looking to take home the FX Broadcast Championship...including, and ESPECIALLY, Alexander Umbra who just won the title at Night of Champions!
Aiello: Great point Steve, he's got a long night ahead of him as we see RAMPAGE's Vespertine and Hall of Famer Ruthless Aggression joining the fray alongside BRAWL's Caleb Scott, Chelsea Skye, King Flip, Tyler Bradford, and Zack Tyler. Caleb, Zack, and Chelsea have all had unsuccessful ventures for the title before, and Tyler and Flip are notable former champions looking to recapture the gold and the glory!
Bennett: And that ain't the only title match we got tonight, Joe! Darius had his opportunity to go after the EWC Undisputed Championship at Night of Champions but now, there is no rest for the wicked as he defends the EWC International Championship against Xavier Reid!
Aiello: A little bit of controversy popped up last month as we found out Reid was the number one contender, and the former EWC X-Division Champion is looking to bounce back from losing that title to JoJo Rush as he turns his focus to the top prize of the red brand! We also have an air of mystery about us tonight, as Stitches celebrates one hundred fifty matches in EWC...but against whom?
Bennett: Well, we know who it was supposed to be...but nobody's told me a thing as to why that didn't happen, and I don't like to dwell in rumors and speculation Joe!
Aiello: What isn't a mystery is we will see former War Mongers colliding as Samantha Hamilton makes a return to BRAWL to face Antoni Malietoa!
Bennett: The Warrior looks to keep a war face on as he takes on a Titaness, and there are no disqualifications so you know it's gonna get violent!
Aiello: Agreed! That said, we kick things off with trios tournament action as New Money get initiated into The House by joining forces with Jamie Love against the Shinijoshi squad of Sonya, Saidie Sharpe, and former EWC Undisputed Champion Narumi Tsutsumi!
Bennett: Some familiar territory here as The House and Shinijoshi square off with some unique twists. I for one am looking forward to the person representing BRAWL picking up the w--hey, wait a minute...JoJo's NOT in this one, so I ain't gotta go nowhere right?
Aiello: That's right Steve, you're safe and sound as we gear up for our opening contest...and we'll see you fine folks after this quick break for BRAWL 600!

TRIOS TOURNAMENT - SECOND ROUND
New Money & Jamie Love
VS Shinijoshi (SONYA, Saidie Sharpe, & Narumi Tsutsumi)
We return to ringside where the fans are amped up for the first match of the night to happen.
Aiello: We’ve got one hell of a way to open up a monumental Brawl #600 tonight, as New Money and Jamie Love of The House take on Shinijoshi in the semifinals of the EWC Trios Tournament!
Bennett: High stakes for both of these teams and it’s bound to be a very good one! I can’t believe I’m saying this Aiello, but I am pulling for Shinijoshi to pull this one off again– especially after I wasn’t even allowed at ringside to call their main event match last time around!
Stroup: The following is a trios contest scheduled for one fall and it is a semi-finals matchup of the EWC Trios Tournament! Joining us first, “BOX OFFICE” BRUCE BOOTH! ... JAMIE LOVE! … THE HBO BROADCAST CHAMPION, COSMO GOLDWORTHY ... THE HOUSE!
“The Mess We’ve Made” by Sin Shake Sin plays throughout the building as New Money and Jamie Love make their way out from the back with determined looks on their faces. While Bruce strikes his pose, and Jamie throws his arms up, Cosmo raises up his HBO Broadcast Championship. He slings it over his shoulder and the three make their way down to the ring.
Stroup: And their opponents, SAIDIE SHARPE! ... SONYA! ... NARUMI TSUTSUMI ... SHINIJOSHI!
Dance in the Game by ZAQ hits as the lights go out and as members of Shinijoshi make their way to the ring as shadows walking through fogs of alternating colours, the most jubilant member strikes the team hand sign as the lights turn back on..
As both teams are getting situated, it appears that Cosmo and Saidie are going to start this one off. The referee raises his arm to ring the bell - then Bruce Booth enters the ring and ambushes Saidie!
Cosmo chuckles and backs up, leaving the ring. The referee shouts at Booth, and Booth threatens him, telling him to start the match!
DING DING DING
Booth grabs Saidie by the back of the head and rains down some repeated punches to the forehead. Saidie’s head reels back and forth as she struggles to find her way back up. Booth lifts Saidie up and irish whips her off, scooping her up - but Saidie floats behind him! Saidie sends a kick to the legs of Booth, then another one. Booth reaches for Saidie, but she ducks under and leaps into an enzuigiri to the side of his head! Booth falls to a knee, holding his head in pain. Saidie reaches over, tagging in Sonya. Sonya enters and helps Saidie pick Booth up. The two grab both of his wrists and irish whip him across the ring, nailing him with dual roundhouse kicks to the chest! Booth falls to his knees again, this time yelping out in pain. They follow up, with kicks to his back! Booth falls over, groaning. Saidie steps out, while Sonya rolls him over for the cover.
ONE!
BRUCE KICKS OUT!
Sonya shakes her head, grabbing at Booth’s head. Booth leans over, starting to get frustrated, and rakes the eyes of Sonya. Sonya wobbles, holding her eyes and Booth rushes over into a knee to the ribs. Booth grabs Sonya by the wrist and irish whips her across the ring, drilling her with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Booth stares down at Sonya and starts stomping at her chest. Booth lifts Sonya up and throws her head first into the turnbuckle pad. Sonya turns, holding her forehead. Booth starts following up with some heavy corner body shots. Sonya is reeling in the corner, and Booth walks over and tags in Jamie. Jamie enters the ring and starts kicking at the body of Sonya. The two pull Sonya out and lift her up for a double vertical suplex! Jamie rises, tagging in Cosmo. Cosmo enters the ring and bounces off the ropes for momentum, leaping right into a knee drop that crushes the throat of Sonya! Booth steps out, but Jamie still has a five count before he’s forced out of the ring, and so he picks Sonya up along with Cosmo. The two grab at Sonya’s body, catapulting her up into a double gutbuster! Jamie finally steps out, and Cosmo rolls Sonya over for the cover.
ONE!
T-SONYA KICKS OUT!
Cosmo brushes his hair back, and lifts Sonya up. Cosmo tucks Sonya’s head in his thighs, looking to lift her for a powerbomb, but Sonya tosses him with a back body drop! Cosmo yells out in pain, and Sonya rolls forward and tags in Narumi! Narumi slingshots in and Cosmo rises to his feet, and they SEND COSMO FLYING WITH A DOUBLE SHOTGUN DROPKICK!
Aiello: Wow, look at that impact!
Bennett: Cosmo just got nailed hard with that dropkick, Joe!
The two kip up in sync, and Booth and Jamie enter the ring! They throw hands with Narumi and Sonya, which prompts Saidie to quickly climb the top rope and dive on everyone with a crossbody! Saidie rises to his feet, pumping her fist. Jamie rises, groggy, and Saidie clotheslines him over! Booth is back up and throws Saidie over the top rope, but she hangs onto the rope and lands on the apron. Booth tries to knock her off, but Saidie wobbles him with a shoulder barrage to the ribs! Booth wobbles backwards, and Narumi grabs him from behind and spikes him with a SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Booth rolls out, holding his head, and Sonya rolls out to follow.
Narumi is still feeling it after tossing the larger Booth with that dragon suplex, which allows Cosmo to swoop in with a neckbreaker! Narumi rubs the back of her head, groaning. Cosmo mounts Narumi and starts throwing a barrage of punches to the jaw of Narumi. Narumi tries to cover up to the best of her ability, but some fists still go through. The continuation of closed fist punches tag Narumi, which prompts the referee to warn Cosmo, and then force him off. Cosmo stops, staring the referee down. The two briefly get into it, which allows Narumi to pull Cosmo down with a schoolboy rollup!
ONE!
TWO-Cosmo immediately kicks out!
The two are up to their feet, and Narumi throws a roundhouse kick! Cosmo blocks it! He spins into a legsweep!
But Narumi cartwheels over it! Cosmo rises to his feet, swinging for Narumi! Narumi swings backwards, matrix dodging it!
But as Narumi is upside down, Cosmo leaps into a legdrop to the face of Narumi!
Aiello: And what a legdrop that was, keeping the former champion down!
Bennett: But will it be enough!?
Cosmo desperately snags the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Narumi throws the shoulder up in time! Cosmo looks around, agitated. He rises to his feet and lifts Narumi up, irish whipping her face first into the turnbuckles, as her jaw meets the top turnbuckle. Outside the ring, the chaos has dissipated and both teams have moved back to their corner. Cosmo walks over to his corner and tags in Jamie. Narumi rolls over, trying to force herself up, dazed. She falls to a knee, and Jamie charges into a big time forearm smash to the jaw! Narumi falls over and Cosmo steps out. Jamie stomps Narumi out over and over, running his hands through his hair. “Stay down!” He shouts at Narumi, who rolls over. She reaches to her team, calling for a tag.
Jamie lifts Narumi up and spikes her on her forehead with a DDT. Jamie rolls Narumi over for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
NARUMI KICKS OUT AGAIN!
Jamie rises to his feet, dragging Narumi near the ropes. Jamie grabs onto the top rope and leaps up, stomping down on the jaw of Narumi! Narumi yells out, and Jamie drags Narumi to the center. He bounces off the ropes, leaping into an elbow drop. Narumi groans, and Jamie paces around the ring, looking around as New Money encourages him. Jamie rolls Narumi over onto her stomach, he looks to lock in the Camel Clutch, targeting that jaw - but Narumi reaches behind to his neck and flips him over her! Jamie quickly rises to his feet, and Narumi leaps into a spin kick to the ribs! Jamie staggers, holding his body. Narumi bounces off the ropes, Jamie swings and she ducks under, turning back to him. Narumi swings up into the Mae Geri Front Kick!
The kick lands flush and Jamie is down! Narumi falls to her knees, reaching over to her teammates. She crawls over, and Jamie finds it back into him and grabs the foot of Narumi. He tries to drag her back, but Narumi kicks him onto his back! Narumi back rolls to her feet and tags in Saidie! Saidie slingshots in and Jamie tries to hit her! Saidie ducks under and sends Jamie into Narumi and she hits THE MASTER SWORD! Jamie holds his jaw, turning back to Saidie - who runs into the SaidTO! Jamie might be out cold as Saidie makes the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THR–NEW MONEY BREAK THE PIN!
Aiello: What a close call there!
Bennett: New Money look ready to prove themselves to The House tonight!
Both Sonya and Narumi charge in at New Money, but Bruce and Cosmo scatter out the ring like roaches! They try to get back to him, but the referee holds them back. Saidie turns back to Jamie and grabs him, trying to drag him to set up for the end - but Jamie rakes her eyes! Saidie covers his eyes, groaning. Jamie works his way up and yanks Saidie down into the Cross Armbreaker! Saidie is yelling out in pain, and while Jamie has the hold in, the referee is still trying to break up New Money and Sonya/Narumi!
Saidie winces out in pain, and she can’t get to the ropes! It could possibly be over here, but Jamie has no choice but to release the hold! Frustrated by their presence in the ring, Jamie attacks Narumi, sending her out the ring, then Sonya! Sonya turns, fighting back though with a forearm to Jamie. Jamie fires back a forearm of his own. Sonya forearms him again, and Jamie knees her in the ribs. Jamie irish whips Sonya off, but Sonya reverses it and scoops him into an argentine lift! Sonya swings into the Ruby Buster– but Bruce pulls him off! Sonya turns back to Bruce, and it’s a set up as Bruce yanks her throat first into the ropes with a hot shot! Sonya staggers backwards, turning back – and COSMO HITS THE READY TO DIE!
Cosmo rises to his feet, and turns back to Saidie who’s now up! He tries to bumrush her into the turnbuckles - but she sends him shoulder first into the ring post! Cosmo falls backwards, laid out.. Saidie grabs onto the ropes and leaps into THE SAIDIE SPIRAL! Cosmo holds her ribs, and Saidie gets disoriented for just a second and makes the cover..
But the referee reminds her that Cosmo isn’t legal!
Aiello: What a tough break!
Bennett: I'm not gonna argue against rules Joe, but you know Saidie's pissed about that!
Cosmo rolls out, holding his ribs. Narumi is back on the apron, calling for a tag. Saidie nods, tagging in Narumi. Narumi enters the ring, and Jamie is back up to her feet. The two start trading blows, with Narumi wearing out the tired Jamie. Narumi turns, hitting off the ropes as Jamie goes behind and takes the neck! He tries to lock in The Love Attachment, but Narumi drops back and pulls Jamie down with a victory roll!
ONE!
TWO!
THR–JAMIE KICKS OUT!
Jamie rises to his feet, charging Narumi - but he’s dropped with a boot from out of nowhere by Sonya! Bruce rises back on the apron to stop her, but this time both Sonya and Narumi kick him off! Saidie works her way up and rolls in, and order is starting to be lost as all three Shinijoshi members are in! They grab Jamie and raise him up and down..
THEN THEY TOSS HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE AIR - DOWN TO THE MAT, WITH THE ONIBUS RIDE! Jamie wheezes out in pain and Sonya and Saidie head to the apron.. Narumi tags in Sonya who steps in, while Saidie climbs the top rope. Narumi goes to assist with the powerbomb lift as well, but Cosmo pulls her out!
Cosmo and Narumi start brawling, and they fight around ringside, towards the ramp! Regardless, Sonya and Saidie see the win in sight, and Sonya lifts Jamie up in powerbomb position! Saidie places her hands onto Jamie’s shoulders, steadying herself and keeping him in Sonya’s grasp..
AND SAIDIE DIVES INTO THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO JAMIE’S CHEST– SONYA IS SHOVED OUT THE WAY..?!
DIRECTOR’S CUT FROM OUTTA NOWHERE!
BRUCE BOOTH CATCHES SAIDIE IN THE AIR WITH THE DIRECTOR’S CUT! Jamie’s weight drops right on the side of Sonya’s head as he crashes to the mat, and she’s near knocked out! Bruce revels in the roar of the crowd from that shocking counter, and drags Jamie over and lays him on top of Sonya!
Outside the ring, Cosmo and Narumi are still brawling, and Cosmo tackles Narumi onto the ramp and starts throwing heavy shots! Narumi is able to flip it over, and the two are rolling and punching all over the outside of the ring!
The referee slides to make the cover, though!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winners of this match and advancing to the finals of the EWC Trios Tournament, via pinfall...THE HOUSE!
Upon hearing their theme song play, Jamie rolls off of Sonya, realizing that they just won the match. It’s an expression that not even he can believe, as Bruce raises his arms up in triumph, making a victory lap around the ring. Finally, the fighting between Cosmo and Narumi comes to an end, as Narumi looks up to the ring, realizing that being engaged in that brawl may have lost them the match. Cosmo rolls in and hugs his cousin, then helps Jamie up, raising his arms up high as The House defeat Shinijoshi for the first time ever!
Aiello: WOW! I can’t believe it! It was a tremendous effort from both teams, but The House FINALLY defeat Shinijoshi, and it’s thanks to one of the most outstanding counters I’ve seen from Bruce Booth, with that Director’s Cut from quite literally, out of nowhere! The House walked into tonight as huge underdogs, and they found a way to get it done as Bruce Booth and Jamie Love’s stock may have grown tremendously with that one!
Bennett: That’s the first time Shinijoshi has been defeated in group action, and how poetic that it ends up being to The House! Booth, Goldworthy and Love all came into this match with something to prove, and they did something that not even The House’s more tenured members did! What a performance from Shinijoshi though, as their teamwork was amazing tonight, but what do you chalk that up to?! Luck?! Timing?! Precision?! I don’t know, but it got the job done!
Aiello: Good win for The House after all that, as they advance to the finals on a date yet to be announced...and this Friday on RAMPAGE we will find out who they face, as the other Shinijoshi squad consisting of Seiren, Stephanie Matsuda, and the Headhuntress Aiya take on the House Hunters! That said...up next, we have no disqualifications in play as Samantha Hamilton takes on Antoni Malietoa! Don't go aw--
Stroup: Las Vegas, it is my pleasure to introduce to you, the X-Division Champion, JOJO RUSH!!!
JoJo's music hits and the stadium lights go pitch-black. With the stage filling with smoke, JoJo approaches the stage and steps into the lone spotlight with Tori Taylor beside him to his right holding JoJo's X-Division Championship. Tori extends her arm out to raise it up to the booing crowd, meanwhile, Rush points a finger gun to the ring and "fires", pyro erupts around the EXT, then down the entrance and all the way down to the ramp. Rush and Tori finish posing and approach the ring, along with a pair of microphones. Rush's music faded to a booing Vegas crowd. After indulging the booing the crowd, JoJo raised the microphone up to speak sternly to the crowd. His eyes staring manically to the camera.
JoJo: Standin’ on top of the whole world, Ah looked out and saw nothin’ but hellfire. In that moment in Baton Rouge, when the crowd of swamp-people cheered fer Sally tossin’ Havoc off the Insanity Cage something dawned on me–
The crowd’s reaction to Sally is mixed, with the crowd eventually booing the Last Magician.
JoJo: What Sally did to Havoc? The venom she had for that man, the venom she had fer everybody in the cage with ‘us? That ain’t the same woman Ah pinned in Halifax. Or at least you might think if you weren’t payin’ any damn attention.
JoJo tips his hat up and glares at the hard cam.
JoJo: This is what all y’all wanted. You watched in delight as someone who only ever wanted to please the fans warp and twist into yet another monster on the hunt fer somethin’ even greater than the Undisputed title– Immortality!
JoJo taps his forehead and repeats “immortality” once more.
JoJo: But that’s the rub, she gave you exactly what you wanted, and you hate her fer it. Just like you hate me fer it–
Rush pauses to breathe, and exhale sharply through his nostrils.
JoJo: The problem with y’all? You don’t understand that we’re just a reflection– we’re a reflection of what you want, of what you beg fer, n’ you don’t like that, The only difference between someone like me and someone like Lavender is Ah don’t lie to you. You don’t like it none to see that behind the luster and shine of championship gold like mine!?
Tori raises the X-Division Championship up high beside JoJo while flashing an adoring smile towards JoJo.
JoJo: You don’t like being reminded that if you strip away the gold, the bright lights, n’ the pageantry, that this sport is just as brutal and just as cruel as the rest of the world. That to survive this sport? To survive this world we’ve built? We have to be cruel, we have to be vicious. We have to be somethin’ less than human. We have to be–
JoJo slowly raises an index finger and points to the camera. Tori taunts and mocks the booing crowd.
JoJo: Primal.
JoJo trails off and lifts his thumb to form a finger gun.
JoJo: Instead of lettin' this world tear you down. Instead of lettin' it destroy you- Bet on yerself– bet on becoming as every bit as monstrous as you need to be to take everything owed to you. Destroy the world that tried to destroy you, and you can bet on yerself bah bettin’ on the House, because the House always–
The lights starts to flash like a concert is going on in the arena as Centuries by Fall Out Boys came on over the speakers as smoke filled the top of the Extreme Tron coming out of the smoke standing tall wearing her black leather jacket along with her right hand a baseball bat with a bit of a smirk on her face looking down at the ramp at JoJo Rush and Tori standing inside of the ring glaring at them a bit as she wait for the crowd to stop cheering.
Ruth: Well.. Well look who we have here the X Division Champion mouthing off and just belittle the fans best way he knows how. It ok thought because it doesn’t matter what you say or how you feel about the fans it not going to change who you are…you talk about how it the fans who make us the monsters…when deep inside you just don’t want to admit that who you are inside..you see things happen in people life that make them their way they are but they don’t always need to let those things be the cause and reasons why they do things but us wrestlers…we use our pain to push us…to be the monster they love to cheer for every night and you know what I say to that…. I LOVE IT
Ruthann grins softly but in a sick twisted way a bit looking at him.
JoJo: Ruthless Aggression, the Hall of Famer herself. One of the greatest to ever do it, but this ain't yer time anymore-
Tori: It's ours.
JoJo and Tori shift and turn to face Ruth. Both of shooting a piercing glare toward Ruthann.
JoJo: But you can’t survive in the world you’ve built, Ruthann. Ah’m built different. So best cut to the chase n’ explain why yer interruptin’ me.
Ruthann stood up on the ramp shaking her head looking down at him with a smirk bringing a microphone back to her lips.
Ruthann: I can’t survive in the world you have built…you standing inside of the ring looking right at me in the eye. Do you even know what kind of beast..and monster I could be once…I have the chance to release it from its cage. You are looking at the woman who built The Cage of Doom match because of the fact she loves to play in blood! You are looking at the woman that brought the Angel of Death from Japan because she is hungry for souls which I chew up and spit out The Left Hand. You are looking at the woman who learned she was kidnapped as a child by her drug addict Aunt who let her mother die in front of her just to get a hit. She took her niece beat her down every night till the point of death who rise among those ashes like a The Dark Phoenix she is standing in front of you as The Hall of Famer Ruthless Aggression and I can’t survive..we see if you survive after I become the first ever Hall of famer as the X Divison champion. I am coming for your soul…I am coming to do what I do best...and that is…
The crowd: Let the blood flow…
Ruthann points the bat down at Tori and JoJo.
Ruthann: See you soon kid.
She smirks as she goes off to the back. Meanwhile, JoJo storms to the apron and jabs his finger toward Ruthann.
JoJo: Ah don’t give a shit about yer dead family. You can go n’ tell ‘em just that after Ah send you off to meet ‘em!
Ruthann doesn’t budge, and rather she stands and smirks at JoJo and Tori, who are waiting for Ruthann to take the bait and enter the ring. but then both JoJo and Tori are dumped in a comical amount of fake blood that poured from the rafters above. The force takes both JoJo and Tori off their feet. Both of them scream and shout while the crowd laughs and cheers on Ruthann. The show cuts to commercial while JoJo and Tori stumble and slip in the fake blood.
NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN FORMER WAR MONGERS!
SINGLES MATCH, NO DISQUALIFICATIONS
Samantha Hamilton
VS Antoni Malietoa
SINGLES MATCH, NO DISQUALIFICATIONS
Samantha Hamilton
VS Antoni Malietoa
We return from commercial heading to ringside, where commentary is standing by!
Aiello: Absolute war of words between JoJo Rush and Ruthless Aggression moments ago, but now we're about to see brutality of a more physical nature as Samantha Hamilton takes on Antoni Malietoa with no disqualifications!
Bennett: Joe, I'm proud as hell of ya for not doing the let's get physical joke. Good on ya, buddy!
Stroup: The following match is scheduled for one fall with no disqualifications! Joining us first, from Apia, Samoa by way of Auckland, New Zealand, weighing in at 254 pounds ... The Great Warrior ANTONI MALIETOA!
Fog engulfs the entrance ramp, highlighted by green lights as "Be Somebody" by Fort Minor begins to play throughout the arena. From the smoke emerges Antoni Malietoa with his eyes wide and arms out to his sides.
As the fog clears, Antoni takes a step forward as he psychs him self up with a yell. Antoni makes his way to the ring, pulls himself up from the floor by the top rope and then steps over the top rope and into the ring as he prepares to do battle.
Stroup: And his opponent, from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl, weighing in at 165 pounds ... SAMANTHA “THE TITANESS” HAMILTON!
'My Mother Told Me' – L.B.ONE, Datamotion ft Perly i Lotry blares over the PA system. As it does, we see the forms of The Titaness standing at the top of the ramp. The Titaness saunters down the ramp, proudly wearing her war paint and Norse outfit as she makes her way to the ring.
When she finally gets to the ropes, the Titaness will slip through the middle and top ropes, then proceed to lean against the nearest turnbuckle. While she looks directly over towards Antoni, she begins making a game plan in her head.
DING DING DING
Samantha and Antoni steps out of their respective corners and makes their way toward the center of the ring. Antoni holds his hand out as Sam reluctantly sticks her hand out. They shake hands before locking up in a collar elbow lock up. Antoni manages to gain the upper hand as he lifts Sam off the ground and slams her down onto the canvas. Antoni gets off of her before landing multiple elbow drops onto her sternum. Antoni pops back up to his feet, picks Sam up, drapes her over his shoulders before dropping her back down with a Samoan Drop. He mounts her and starts dropping forearms across her face multiple times.
After the ninth forearm, Sam manages to grab his arm before placing her legs around his places him in a cross arm breaker. She pulls back on his wrist as he lets out a strong grunt. She maintains the hold for a few more seconds before transitioning into a fujiwara armbar. Sam pulls back on the arm but Antoni counters it into a quick pinfall attempt.
ONE!
TWO…
Sam rolls her shoulder up as both of them get back up to a vertical base.
Aiello: Antoni with a hard offense at the outset, but the Titaness is still in it!
Bennett: Gonna have to see what both are really made of here, Joe!
Sam comes toward him but he ducks under a clothesline attempt. Sam bounces off the ropes when Antoni slams his shoulder into her which sends her flying across the wrong. Sam rolls out of the ring as Antoni leans his head back and let’s out a war cry. He steps through the ropes as Sam hooks his leg with a crowbar and yanks his leg out from under him. Antoni lands hard on the apron. Antoni rolls off the apron as Sam starts stomping down onto Antoni.
Sam picks him up before chunking him into the barricade. Antoni bounces off the rubber padding. Sam lifts up the ring and pulls out a steel folding chair. She looks over at Antoni before throwing the chair to the side. She picks him up and slams his face into the top of the barricade. Antoni blocks the second attempt before slamming his elbow into her abdomen. Sam staggers back as Antoni slams his shoulder into her ribs before throwing her over head with a belly to belly Suplex. Sam’s back lands on the steel chair as Antoni pulls her up and throws her back into the ring.
Aiello: That did NOT look good, Steve! I wonder how Hamilton's feeling after that.
Bennett: Probably feeling like she's ready for revenge if you ask me, Joe!
Sam gets up to her knees as Antoni slides back into the ring after her. Right as he stands to his feet, Samantha kicks him in the gut, shoves his head between her legs but Antoni lifts his back as Sam lands hard on her back. Sam slowly works her up up to her feet as Antoni hooks his arm around her neck and connects with Resurrection. Antoni rolls Sam over and goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winner, via pinfall ANTONI MALIETOA!
Antoni gets up to one knee and shows respect to Samantha before rolling out of the ring. Samantha slowly rises her head as Antoni walks up the ramp.
Aiello: Antoni proved that he still is an honorable warrior. Samantha did her best but it just wasn’t her night tonight.
Bennett: Finally Brawl gains a measure of revenge on those Rampage bastards. Samantha would be a great addition to the red brand if she ever gets tired of fighting for the green team.
Aiello: On that note, we are ready for quite the interesting twist in our next match as...hold on, I'm hearing there's an update from the office of Jim Connors!
Camera cuts to ...
Backstage we find ourselves inside the office of BRAWL General Manager Jim Connors...staring into the eyes of a frustrated clown, and a former EWC Undisputed Champion at that, in Stitches. Tension seems very, very high at the moment, and we soon realize why as Stitches speaks with a gruff tone of voice.
Stitches: What exactly are you trying to prove here, Connors? You gave me a whole bill of goods about taking on Cyrus, and now nobody knows where he went.
Connors starts to interject, but is cut off by Stitches who continues.
Stitches: Then, you tell everyone with an ear to hear about this mystery opponent you have lined up for me on this special occasion...only for me to find out once I arrive at the arena that--what, something's come up? The big mystery opponent just...isn't here?
Connors slowly nods in acknowledgement, the frustration turning almost into anger in the voice of the clown as he continues.
Stitches: And do you see the problem I have with that, Connors? I find that my time is precious, so being called to an arena on what you say is a special night, only to find that I have no opponent to face, is...well, disheartening.
The tone is just unsettling enough for Connors to start panicking, the sweat starting to come down his face as he finally responds.
Connors: Listen, Stitches, I am not one to waste anyone's time, it's just...well, your opponent didn't like the idea of not having a proper introduction.
Stitches just glares at the GM, uncertain what that statement means...until a flash of light engulfs the office, blinding us and both men inside the room. When the light goes away, we see a strange, peculiar sight by the door of the office...a grandfather clock. The little door on the front opens up, as we get a look at the confused reaction from the clown and the shocked appearance on the face of Connors as the sound of feet touching the floor turns our attention back to the clock...revealing not the person usually associated with that clock, but rather a fellow former EWC Undisputed Champion. A queen, even...Melody Malone.
Malone: Sorry, bud...blame it on doctors, but I got told I couldn't be cleared in time to compete tonight. I didn't want to disappoint you by not showing up at ALL though, so...whenever you're ready to tango, let's dance.
The crowd erupts in approval of the idea of this matchup taking place, and Stitches appears to be up for it as well as we see a very slight smirk on his face before we cut to commercial!
The camera cuts backstage where we find Xavier Reid alongside his manager, “The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love…
Love: I don’t know what to tell you Xavier…I’ve been confused all season and sat back here stretching my head over things…this is why I wanted you to look at other options outside of Brawl but…
Reid: Brawl is my home…
Love: So you keep saying but what’s it say about a home that doesn’t love you back…I mean let’s look at facts, other stars on other brands have been rewarded time after time this season…El Pablo on Paramount, Scorpio on Prime….Lavender on Rampage and I can’t believe either Mercenary or Vin Havoc will be getting a Undisputed Championship shot before you…YOU, who should be the #1 Contender now that Scorpio took his swing and missed…but I don’t see Jim Connors knocking on our door informing us when our shot is going to be and you want to know why…
Xavier looks up at Tommy…
Love: Because it’s not coming…once again another year is going to go by where you or any member of Brawl will get a shot at the Undisputed Championship…
Xavier shrugs…
Reid: So you think I should jump ship…maybe run off to Rampage and try my hand at the BORT or maybe get back to Paramount and hope that Chris Brock picks me over Ibuki, M$J or even El Pablo or what…head to Prime and hope that Jordan Sharpe remembers our matches against one another and what…sees a little of himself in me and gives me a shot over Shinijoshi…
Love: Well it beats sitting around here waiting for a shot that’s never going to come Xavier…
Xavier holds up his hand and his manager falls silent…
Reid: I understand where you’re coming from Tommy…I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t frustrated by the lack of faith from Brawl but look around…we were the first brand eliminated at Parabellum…Team Brawl was a shit show…we have fallen along way from the ‘flagship’ show here in the EWC and yes…a smart man would see this and ‘jump from the sinking ship’ before it goes under but…I’m not a smart man right…I’d rather roll up my sleeves and try to restore Brawl back to the brand it once was…and that starts here tonight…
Xavier smirks at his manager…
Reid: Darius isn’t worthy of carrying around that International Championship…he isn’t worthy of being the top guy here on Brawl…he’s a selfish prick and that’s rich I know coming from me but it’s the truth…he had the chance to lead this brand at Parabellum and yet he decided that his own needs out-weighed the brands need in him to LEAD…yes, he had a ‘Golden Ticket’ and could cash it in at any time but he waited until Melinda was focused on helping Brawl…
Tommy smirks…
Love: It wasn’t a bad idea…back in the day I would have suggested doing the same thing but…
Reid: We have grown…
Love: Or stopped thinking outside the box but ok…
Reid: Let’s face facts Darius knew he couldn’t beat Melinda straight up so he took a shortcut…and while some…
Xavier looks at Tommy who smiles…
Reid: Might applaud that I’m not one of those…I helped bring the prestige back to that championship and he pissed all over it with that stunt at Parabellum…so I will ‘do what’s best for Brawl’ and take back that championship…I’ll win it back for a record breaking 4th time and cement my place as the leader of Brawl…the BEST OF BRAWL…
Love: The ‘BoB’...
Reid: And I will make it that much harder for Jim Connors and the EWC to ‘pass me over’ for what I have earned…a shot at the Undisputed Championship…
Love: I wouldn’t hold your breath man…Darius is going to do whatever it takes to hold onto that championship…hell he’s even gotten into bed with a Mad King…
Xavier smiles…
Reid: Yeah and I called a truce with Ace King…I went to King’s Court and trained my ass off with a former enemy…that’s how much that championship means to me Tommy…I swallowed my pride and asked Ace King for help…for guidance…see I didn’t leave Brawl for ‘greener pastures’ because I want to be the one that restores Brawl back to its former glory and that starts here tonight by taking back Brawl’s top prize and making it matter once again…tonight I fight for Brawl…not just me…and I’m betting on myself right here in Las Vegas…on Brawl’s 600th episode…I’m taking back my brand!!!
Xavier smiles as he walks away from his manager…
THE NEW CHAMP DEFENDS HIS THRONE AGAINST A BASTARD!
SINGLES MATCH
FOR THE EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Xavier Reid
VS Darius
SINGLES MATCH
FOR THE EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Xavier Reid
VS Darius
We return to ringside where almost everyone in the building is on their feet as they await the extremely high stakes EWC International Championship matchup to take place.
Aiello: We’re just one match away from our main event, but this one is a main event in its own! The EWC International Championship is on the line as champion Darius and Xavier Reid face off in a matchup that may solidify who the current face of Brawl is!
Bennett: There is a lot at stake for both of these men! Egos clash as Xavier Reid looks to become a record breaking four time International Champion, meanwhile Darius is looking to right the wrongs of his first International Championship reign, by leaving Brawl #600 with a successful defense!
Stroup: The following match is a single contest scheduled for one fall and it is for the EWC International Championship! Joining us first, accompanied by “The Memphis Mouthpiece” Tommy Love, from New York City, weighing in at 220 pounds ... XAVIER REID!
The spotlights inside the arena start to flash around the crowd as 'Papercut' starts to play out. Xavier Reid walks out onto the stage and pulls his t-shirt off and drops it on the stage. His manager, ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love follows him out onto the stage, waving 'The Love Stick' around. Xavier walks to the front of the stage and crosses his arms into an X in front of his chest and smirks as Tommy follows from behind and acts as if he’s going to hit the camera with the ‘Love Stick’. Tommy points to the ring and Xavier marches up the steps and steps into the ring, goes to the far corner and jumps up to the second rope and looks out over the fans as Tommy Love walks towards the referee, already complaining about something trying to influence the referee or at least bully him into giving them the advantage
The sound of rapid drumbeats and guitar riffs blare through the arena as white smoke billows from the stage area ...
ON THIS DAY!
I SEE CLEARLY!
EVERYTHING! HAS COME TO LIFE!
Darius rushes through the smoke, hyping himself up at the top of the ramp as Elissa emerges behind him. He runs to each side of the ramp, firing up the crowd as he reaches them, and then makes his way back to Elissa, giving her a big kiss before standing at the end of top of the ramp for his signature pose.
I'LL NEVER LONG FOR WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN!
AND NOW REGRET WON'T WASTE MY LIFE AGAIN!
I WON'T LOOK BACK!
I FIGHT TO REMAIN!
Darius and Elissa then march down the ramp until they reach the ring, where Darius then slides into the ring and looks around the arena with a grin before jumping to his feet. He leaps onto a turnbuckle and throws up devil horns as he waits for the match to begin.
Aiello: Reid and Darius are staring each other down like hawks and the match hasn’t even begun yet! Here we go, the EWC International Championship is on the line in a HISTORIC 600th edition of Brawl!
DING DING DING
From the very moment the bell rings, Xavier Reid and Darius approach each other and grab one another in an aggressive collar and elbow tie-up. The two jockey for position and it’s Darius who has Reid tied up against the ropes. The referee calls for a clean break, and steps in to separate the two– only for Darius to rake the eyes of Reid! Reid angrily yelps in pain, as Darius pushes the referee aside and goes to town on Reid with some punches. As Reid tries his best to cover up, Darius wastes no time by snagging the wrist of Reid and irish whipping him across the ring, but Reid counters with one of his own. Reid follows up with a back elbow, prompting Darius to bounce off and nail him with a right hook to the jaw. Reid staggers, so now Darius throws a left hook. Reid raises his guard, so all Darius does is kick the knee out. Darius starts beating down on the back of Reid, and pulls his hair as insult to injury. The referee warns Darius again, but all Darius does is pull Reid up by the hair and lift him into a vertical suplex.
The champion isn’t worried at all, as he lifts Reid up and slams him into the turnbuckles. Darius follows up with repeated corner shoulder thrusts, as Reid holds at his ribs, wheezing. Darius takes the wrist and pulls him out, for a clothesline! Darius drops to the first cover of the match.
ONE!
T–REID KICKS OUT!
Not even a two count. Darius was expecting that, though, as he picks up Reid. Darius swings behind Reid and lifts him for a back suplex - but Reid elbows him. Reid elbows Darius again. He elbows Darius back to the ropes, and tosses him with an exploder suplex! Darius is still feeling the effects of Insanity Cage, as that suplex immediately takes an impact on his neck. He crawls for safety, but Reid approaches him and boots the side of his head. Reid forces Darius up, just so he can drill in some nasty elbows to the side of the head, then follow up with a nasty lariat that nearly turns Darius inside out! Reid rolls Darius over, making his first cover.
ONE!
TW–DARIUS KICKS OUT!
Reid was clearly expecting that, given the smirk on his face. It appears that he wants to make a point of Darius by continuing to punish him. Reid kicks the side of Darius’s head, and grabs at him.. Darius wraps his hands around Reid’s head, so he can gouge the eyes without the referee seeing! Reid stumbles away, holding his eye. The referee has his opinions but he doesn’t actually know what happened.. While Reid is holding at the eye, Darius gets up and charges right into a bulldog! Elissa claps it up for her husband, meanwhile Tommy Love is starting to shout orders. Darius leans over the ropes and tells Tommy to shut up, which Tommy doesn’t take lightly. Tommy points across the ring to Elissa. “Tell her to stop screeching and we’ve got a deal!” He shouts at Darius. Darius has a few more words for Tommy upon hearing his wife get insulted, but the referee holds him back.
Darius shrugs it off and turns to lift Reid up– but REID JUMPS INTO A PELE KICK! Darius crumbles down, holding at the back of his neck, and it’s already taken a heavy toll and the match has only just begun!
Aiello: This match has been absolute chaos from the jump, Steve!
Bennett: Just the way I like it Joe, and you know both men are out to go into the Rumble with that EWC International Championship!
Reid works his way up, looking at Darius who’s turtled up. Darius tries to get up, but Reid crumbles him with a SWIFT kick to the ribs. Reid kneels, and starts throwing elbows at the back of Darius’s head! Darius covers up to the best of his ability, but Reid won’t relent! Elbow after elbow is thrown, and Darius lies on his side. Reid rolls him over, perhaps giving Darius a mercy pinfall here.
ONE!
TWO!
DARIUS KICKS OUT!
As expected, and so Reid goes back to the elbows. Darius puts his arms up to absorb as much impact as possible, but his head is bouncing off the canvas. Reid finally rises, pulling Darius up. Darius is barely up on his feet, and Reid gives him a nasty PAINTBRUSH SLAP!
Darius staggers, falling to the middle rope. He stares at Reid, shellshocked at the disrespect from the challenger–even if he has been here many times before. Reid approaches Darius, but Darius rises and grabs ahold of Reid’s head, BITING HIS FOREHEAD! Reid screeches out in pain, and Tommy Love pleads with the referee, but Darius isn’t listening to any warnings as he releases from Reid, just for a swift kick to the gut! Darius grabs the head of Reid, GREY MATT–REID SPINS OUT AND PULLS DARIUS DOWN!
HE TRIES TO LOCK IN A CROSSFACE, BUT DARIUS WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST AND ROLLS INTO A PIN!
ONE!
TWO!
REID ROLLS BACK OVER, LOOKING TO LOCK IN THAT CROSSFACE!
But this time, Darius deadlifts Reid up high.. And he LAUNCHES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND REID CRASHES TO THE FLOOR!
Aiello: Oh my! Reid's down, and he looks out!
Bennett: Darius doing whatever he can to keep the title!
There’s a loud gasp of shock from the crowd as Reid’s whole body crashes to the mat, and Tommy Love yelps out. He rushes over, checking on his guy while Darius lays in the center of the ring, gasping for air. The referee has no choice but to begin the count, as Elissa aggressively bangs the mat and shouts for the ref to count faster!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
Darius nods his head, knowing that it could be done here!
EIGHT!
But after constant yelling and shaking from Tommy Love, Xavier Reid starts to show signs of life!
NINE!
He’s starting to move..
TE–XAVIER REID DIVES IN THE RING, JUST IN TIME!
Aiello: Holy mackerel, Reid just managed to save this match for himself!
Bennett: Veteran move there from a man who's held that gold before, he wants to take that and this brand back and he's ready to prove it!
Darius can’t believe it, and he immediately yanks Reid up and kicks him in the gut! He tucks his head in his thighs and double underhooks the arms, spinning and flipping him out at the same time – THE MORROW BOMB!
HE BRIDGES THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
T–REID KICKS OUT!
Darius rolls over, banging his fist on the mat! He doesn’t know what it’s going to take?! Reid rolls over, his eyes glazed. He clutches at the back of his head, meanwhile Darius is trying his hardest not to lose his cool. “FINISH IT! FINISH IT!” Elissa cries from ringside. Tommy is trying to shout Reid’s name, but with the yells of Elissa, the shouting of Darius, and the roar of the crowd – he may not be hearing him right now!
Reid starts to find his way up, and Darius is waiting on him in the corner..
HE’S LOOKING FOR THE HUNTER’S MARK, BUT REID SENDS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Darius winces, his whole body recoiling against the buckles. Reid musters some strength in him, grabbing Darius by the legs and forcing him onto the top rope! Darius is throwing punches, but Reid is finding a way to eat them and climb up top with him! Reid finally throws punches back, and grabs Darius by the head and connects with a nasty headbutt! Reid holds his head from the pain, but it’s Darius who is especially hurt by the intensity in that headbutt.
Reid is perched all the way up with Darius, and he grabs him by the head.. Despite the weight differential, Reid MUSCLES DARIUS UP.. INTO THE BRAINBUSTER ON THE TURNBUCKLE!
CTE LANDS!
AND AFTER THE WORK DONE TO THE HEAD AND NECK OF DARIUS, REID SCRAMBLES TO THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
THR–ELISSA PUTS DARIUS’S FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Aiello: Oh, come on!
Bennett: Ref can only call what he can see, Joe!
Reid looks back, seeing Darius’s foot on the bottom rope and he rolls off, feeling defeated. Reid and the referee may have not seen what Elissa did, but Tommy did and he’s LIVID! He marches around the ring, yelling obscenities at Elissa for directly getting involved! Elissa responds back, and there’s a whole shouting contest outside the ring!
The referee leans out the middle rope, trying to calm these two down! Reid on the other hand, is using the referee to get up to his feet, completely exhausted. Darius is somehow finding some fight in him, as he army crawls to the turnbuckles across the ring. As he uses them to rise, Darius realizes that the referee is distracted, and pulls off the top turnbuckle! Reid turns back to grab at Darius after realizing the referee is dead set on this argument, but Darius grabs Reid and slams him FACE FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE!
Reid’s head bounces off the exposed steel, and Darius pulls him down with a schoolboy rollup! He shouts at the referee, and the referee finally turns to slide for the count!
ONE!
TWO!
TH–REID KICKS OUT!
Whether or not that would’ve been three if the referee was attentive is a different question, but Darius is pissed! He rises up, getting in the referee’s face, asking if that was really two–or was it three?! The referee stands his ground and claims it was two, but Darius isn’t having it.. Reid holds his head, still down from his head meeting the exposed steel..
Seeing that Reid is down, Darius walks over to Reid and hunches over him, throwing the birds up in his face! “FUCK YOU!” Darius exclaims, and then he grabs Reid’s arms! Darius looks around.. AND HE DRIVES HIS FOOT INTO THE FUCK YOU STOMPS!
Reid’s own move is being used against him as Darius stomps his head into the mat over and over like a basketball! Darius releases the arms of Reid, dropping to his knees as he makes what feels like a desperation cover at this point..
ONE!
TWO!
TH–REID KICKS OUT!
And he rolls over, trying to work his way up! He slaps at the side of his head, and Darius isn’t having it.. Darius walks over and throws an ELBOW. Reid is forcing his way up, but Darius throws ANOTHER elbow. And ANOTHER one. AND ANOTHER ONE.. AND HE LOOKS TO SPIN INTO A ROLLING ELBOW TO COMPLETE THE RAINING ELBOWS, BUT REID DUCKS!
Reid leaps onto Darius’s shoulders – POISONED FRANKENSTEINER! RIGHT ON THE NECK OF DARIUS! Darius is folded, and Reid rises up, looking around! He drags Darius up and throws him to the ropes for the RAINHAM MAKER! BUT DARIUS HOLDS HIS GROUND AND REID BACKFLIPS TO HIS FEET! HUNTER’S MARK–REID KICKS HIM IN THE JAW!
Darius wobbles, still up.. Reid bounces off, and boots him! Darius bounces off the ropes into a DISCUS CLOTHESLINE! Reid falls into the middle rope, and bounces back into another headbutt! Darius is staggered and on a knee! Reid sees his chance and turns, running off the ropes, but Darius follows with him and grabs the waist, looking to drag him down for an O’Connor Roll. Reid hangs onto the ropes and Darius rolls backwards. Reid is about to turn, but then Elissa hops onto the apron, grabbing onto his wrist! She holds him against the ropes! Reid shakes his arm, trying to get free!
While Reid and Elissa are fumbling outside the ring, Darius sees his chance to elbow Reid in the back of the head, but Reid overpowers her and moves – but Tommy pulls Elissa off, as soon as Reid moves! Darius lucked out from hitting his wife, but it’s only because Tommy and Elissa are arguing yet again! It’s this time Darius is focused on the two managers arguing, as is the referee… And Reid takes advantage to LOW BLOW DARIUS! Darius holds his groin, falling backwards!
Aiello: One good turn deserves another, Darius!
Bennett: Reid just proved how much of a Bastard he can be when his mind is focused!
That low blow is absolutely lethal, as Darius is down and in pain! In the corner of her eye, Elissa realizes what just happened, and she SHOVES Tommy out of the way and slides in! Reid limps, about to go over to Darius, until she kneels in front of him!
Elissa is practically begging Reid, to not take the victory like this–nor Darius’s title in general! Reid chuckles, not taking this serious.. But now, Tommy Love has had enough and he enters the ring! He motions for Reid to get out the way, and stands above Elissa!
Elissa rises to her feet and the two start jaw jacking, and the referee is doing everything he can to stop this! But Elissa disregards the referee, and SLAPS Tommy! Tommy staggers, but Reid stares at him, and it’s as if he knows what to do.. Elissa has no idea though, as Tommy mans up and turns to Elissa.. AND CHARGES RIGHT INTO THE COOTER KICK! Elissa’s eyes widen, as she topples over, and no one in the building has an idea what the fuck just happened?!
The referee stops Tommy from doing anymore damage and forcibly removes him from the ring, because Tommy and Elissa have BOTH been ejected! Tommy protests it, saying that Elissa got in first, but it’s no use! Meanwhile, Reid turns his attentions back to his opponent–
AND DARIUS CLOCKS REID OVER THE HEAD WITH THE EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
Aiello: What!?
Bennett: Oldest trick in the book, Joe! Reid wants that title, and Darius just offered it to him the hard way!
WHILE EVERYONE’S ATTENTION WAS TURNED AWAY, DARIUS COLLECTED THE TITLE AT RINGSIDE! Darius tosses the belt out the ring and stares at his wife out the ring in sorrow, but calls the referee over! The referee turns around, and Darius quickly makes the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE–
REID JOLTS A SHOULDER UP!
Aiello: Reid's still in it!
Bennett: That fighting spirit is present here Joe, Reid wants that title bad!
The arena ERUPTS, not fully for Reid, but because this masterful championship match continues on! Darius can’t believe his eyes, and he’s protesting that to the referee! Despite being ejected, Tommy Love turns back and starts banging on the apron, cheering on his boy out of sheer joy! The referee tells Tommy to get out of here before Reid gets disqualified, and he does remember that tidbit..
Tommy is about to go, until a frustrated Darius BASEMENT DROPKICKS HIM DOWN! Darius rises to his feet and leans over the ropes, SPITTING on Tommy! He shakes his head, and turns back to Reid who’s now starting to work his way up..
Darius runs his hands through his hair, waiting on Reid to rise, which he does..
AND DARIUS RUNS RIGHT THROUGH HIM WITH THE HUNTER’S MARK!
NO! REID CATCHES HIM WITH THE BEAST SLAYER! DARIUS ISN’T MOVING! Reid rolls him over and quickly makes the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREEE!
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winner, via pinfall, and the NEW EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION ... XAVIER REID!
Reid rolls off of Darius, wheezing out in pain. Tommy is assisted outside the ring, but when he realizes Reid won, he holds his head and staggers into the ring, helping him up. Reid takes in the victory, staring around as the fans themselves can’t believe that he is the new International Champion! Reid takes the International Championship, relishing in his fourth victory, raising it up high!
Reid looks around as pyro shoots out on the stage. He climbs up and points around, basking in this big time victory. It’s a chaotic scene, as Elissa is nearly moved to tears outside the ring in both embarrassment and shame of how the night went for them, and Darius still hasn’t moved since being hit with the BEAST Slayer.. Tommy points to Reid on the top rope though, demanding the fans parade the NEW champ.
Aiello: What a PHENOMENAL matchup! This was everything you expected from guys like Darius and Xavier Reid, and what a performance from both! Darius exhausted quite literally everything he had in the tank to try and leave tonight the International Champion, but this is Reid’s fourth time here for a reason, as he breaks the record and becomes the SOLE holder of the most reigns as International Champion!
Bennett: For now! We’ve all heard about The Mad King’s intentions of challenging for that championship again, but tonight is about Xavier Reid and that is one hell of an accomplishment! He never ceases to amaze me, and while I had high hopes for the reign of Darius, unfortunately he had to run into a future hall of famer in Xavier Reid, who gave exactly that tonight – a hall of fame performance!
Aiello: And we still have our main event ahead of us! Nine competitors enter, but only one walks out of here with five hundred grand...and if someone on BRAWL wins, they become the FX Broadcast Champion in the process! Don't go away!
We move to a commercial break.

We return to ringside where the MGM Grand Garden Arena fans are starting to get rambunctious, waiting for this Main Event
Aiello: And here we are folks. Main Event time! Nine people battling it out for five hundred thousand dollars. And if that doesn’t make your heart pump, the six Brawl members in this match have their eyes on ANOTHER prize. If one of them win, they not only walk away with the money … but the FX Broadcast Championship as well.
Bennett: And something tells me that son o' bitch Alexander Umbra isn’t too keen on letting go of his title just yet. He is just coming fresh off the heels of taking out Cyrus for the title, no way he wants to let go of it already.
Stroup: The following match is the MAIN EVENT FOR BRAWL SIX-HUNDRED and is a FX Broadcast Championship Battle Royal!!! The winner of this match will receive a cash reward of five-hundred thousand dollars. And if it is a Brawl brand member, they will ALSO receive the FX BROADCAST CHAMPIONSHIP!!
A loud pop echoes through the arena, from the thousands upon thousands of cheering fans.
Stroup: Joining us first, from The Core Spire, weighing in at 241 pounds … from Paramount … ’THE DARK WARLORD’ KOLBY KREEL!
A twenty sided dice rolls across the EXT as “Wolf Totem” suddenly starts playing over the sound system. A man with a hooded cloak steps out onto the stage. The moment “How Do you Want to do this” is said in the song, the man opens his hand as a twenty sided die appears in his hand. He holds it up and let’s out a chuckle before walking down the ramp as fire pops up along the ramp. He reaches the ring, rolls inside while staying in a kneeling position. He lowers his hood before tilting his head back up. A sly smirk appears on his face as he slithers to one of the corners and waits.
Stroup: And his first opponent, from San Francisco, California, weighing in at 115 pounds ... from Rampage … ’THE PRETTY LITTLE POISON’ VESPERTINE!
The sound of a Japanese flute starts out playing quietly over the loudspeakers and the lights go down. The Tron comes up and we see two armies standing face to face on a battlefield. The flute continues playing and the camera on the Tron gets closer to the two armies. The camera cuts scene.
The camera cuts back to a scene of two armies. The Japanese flute plays louder. Both armies are huge and they are an army of shogun, ronin, and samurai. As the army walks forward a single figure comes into view and emerges from the line. The figure raises their sword and as one the entire army stops. The figure runs forward and gets atop a boulder to look out.
The camera goes over their shoulder and we see the other army standing as a wall in the distance. The apparent leader takes off their helmet and long black hair tumbles out from it and flows all around, sometimes waving and weaving in places where the wind catches it. The figure turns and looks at the army behind them and we see it is Vespertine. She raises her sword and roars in fury. Camera cuts scene and the Japanese flute stops.
The camera cuts back to scene of her army raising their own swords and shouting in fury. The camera pans back quickly and she does the motion of forward with her sword and the camera goes up and we see her entire army run forward to join in the fray below. The song “Diamond Eyes: by Shinedown starts up and then goes straight into the song.
Boom Lay
boom lay boom.
Boom lay, boom lay boom
Suddenly the spotlights in the arena come up and we see a lone figure standing at the top of the ramp. One arm is raised and we see it is Vespertine and she is standing facing the entrance curtains. She spins around rather quickly and at the end of the turn she points at the audience where upon a couple of pyros go off on each side of her. She stands at the top of the ramp looking around at the audience. Then suddenly she reaches her hands out to them as if to encompass their souls and fire pillar pyros go off behind her. She saunters on down to the ring, stepping in time to the music.
She wears black wrestling shorts, a black wrestling sports top with purple sequins which reveals her midriff and abs, black wrestling boots, her black trenchcoat duster and black sunglasses. She slides in underneath the ropes, takes off her sunglasses and looks around at various spots with a feral like look in her eyes and slightly licking her lips. We see she has heavy glitter around her eyes and a heavy dark turquoise black eyeliner.
She crawls seductively like a cat to the other side of the ring and then suddenly jumps up and spreads her arms out and lands in an V like pattern where upon at each corner of the ring, showers of sparks come flying out. She looks around, still with the feral look in her eyes, and takes off her trenchcoat duster and and gives it to a person outside the ring and goes to sit on the turnbuckle facing the ring entrance.
Stroup: Next up, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 200 pounds ... from Rampage … the ’QUEEN OF HARDCORE’… EWC Hall of Famer … RUTHLESS AGGRESSION!
Du du du du-du du du
Du du du du du-du du du
The crowd starts to chant that part of the song out loud. As the lights went in and out as Fall Out Boy Centuries came blasting on. They look up at the ramp standing there with smoke surrounding the stage coming out among it is Ruthless Aggression taking in everything wearing her Red and Black Leather Jacket walking down the ramp on the back. It was a cartoon version of herself wearing a pair of red and black tights with Rampage Shirt or (Name of PPV). Standing next to her is Rose Lee wearing her own leather jacket with a bit of a smirk playing to the crowd. She walked down the ramp alongside her towards the ring high five the fans and everything. Ruthann smirks as she stops in the middle of the ramp looking around taking in the crowd. She closed her eyes as the words came blasting over the speakers.
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take.
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey, hey, hey
Remember me for centuries
She then looks up blowing a kiss to the sky as she then runs down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope with a bit of a smirk and then jumps up onto the turnbuckle as she sings the chorus with them. Rose Lee is standing outside just watching her with a nod slapping the mat down ready for a fight in excitement.
Du du du du-du du du
Du du du du du-du du du
She then jumps down and turns around facing the person taking off the black jacket. She hands it to the person on the outside ready to fight.
Stroup: And now for our Brawl competitors.
A wave of excitement washes over the crowd, as they begin to cheer even louder than before. After all, they technically ARE here on Brawl … to see Brawl brand wrestlers.
Stroup: First from the red brand, from the alley out back, weighing in at 175 pounds ... ZACK TYLER
Sections of lights within the arena begin to randomly cut off until it is completely dark. As each light is cut off, an image flashes each time on the giant production screen of first a side view of Zack's face (no make-up), then another light goes off as another side view of Zack's face is seen (with make-up), and finally the final lights go dark as a front view of Zack's face is seen. During all this, fog machines are slowly billowing in the entrance area. As Zack's image disappears, his [3:14] music then plays. At the [:17] mark, a Red beam of light illuminates the entrance stage and again at the [:20] mark. At the [:27] mark, Zack generically walks with his eyes focused on the three competitors already in the right as the light illuminates and stays on top of Zack. At ringside, he takes a running leap and slides under the bottom rope onto his stomach to inside the ring and the lights go dark. With a slight turn, he is now sitting and slithering backwards into the final empty corner as the lights return to normal. His music by now has looped or replayed but dissipates in volume and Zack is also now without his jacket.
Stroup: Next up from the Brawl, from Miami Beach, Florida, weighing in at 223 pounds ... TYLER BRADFORD!
"Iconic" by Jaxon Gamble hits and Tyler Bradford steps out from behind the tron, he looks out at the crowd solemnly as a few of them remember him and still boo and jeer the former 2x FX Broadcast Champion. He pulls his suit jacket tight, looks down sadly, and marches his way to the ring paying the fans no attention. He gets into the ring and eyes up everyone already waiting in the ring.
Stroup: The next participant, from The Land, weighing in at 220 pounds ... the’BENCHMARK OF BRAWL’ THE MAD KING!
T H E M A D K I N G zooms from right to left across the EXT and is followed swiftly by a red pyro. 'Heimdallr' begins to play, King emerging wearing a big black Stetson hat and a small, thin cast covering his right hand and wrist. Darkwater emerges behind him, keeping an eye for rabble-rousers as Flip continues on. King gets to the edge of the rampway when that arrogant half smile emerges. The "Mad King" chant grows as he walks slowly down the ramp with his eyes locked in on the ring. His approach to the steps is slow as he slaps a few hands and hands a small child the black hat. He taps the steps with a smile, reminiscing a moment before sauntering the steel and quickly slipping through the ropes. After a sarcastic bow, King turns his back to a corner, he looks ready for the action to start as his theme fades.
Stroup: Following him to the ring, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 123 pounds ... ’THE NIGHTMARE ANGEL’ CHELSEA SKYE!
“I’ve come to face my mistakes, the fire fades, the will to carry on, subdued by fear!”
The fast guitar riff for “Reborn Through Failure” hits the speakers and once the vocals kick in Chelsea makes her way out onto the entrance ramp ready for battle. Chelsea makes her way down to the ring slapping hands with the occasional fan along the way, she enters the ring and stands against the ropes. Her eyes travel around the ring, meeting the seven other set of eyes locked on her.
Stroup: The final challenger of the night, from St. Cloud, Minnesota, weighing in at 215 pounds ... the ’GRANITE CITY SADIST’ CALEB SCOTT!
Lights go black as Ze Nigmar plays. Four hooded figures with torches come out and stand on the stage, two on each side of the entrance. Lights stay off as the song intro plays. Once the drums start, a single beam of light from above the ring shoots to the stage as Caleb Scott and Luke Mason walk out through a thick white fog and stands between the hooded drudges. Holding his chain-wrapped bat, Caleb stands there for a few seconds looking out at the crowd with Luke. They begin to slowly walk to the ring as a short row of fire ignites on either side of the entrance ramp. Caleb approaches the steel steps and places his bat on the top step as Luke stands beside him.
Caleb then places his hand on top of the bat and closes his eyes for a few seconds before going up the steps and into the ring while Luke slides in under the bottom rope, the single beam of light follows Caleb the entire time. He walks towards the corner, ignoring the others in the ring for the moment, and stands on the middle rope and Luke stands between the turnbuckles, against the ropes. Caleb stares out into the crowd for a few seconds before taking a deep breath, extending his arms out to the side, and unleashing a loud, thunderous scream before the lights come back on.
Stroup: AND FINALLY, from St. Paul, Minnesota, weighing in at 215 pounds ... he is the FX BROADCAST CHAMPION … ALEXANDER UMBRA!
The synthesized melody beginning of ‘Make Believe’ by Memphis May Fire begins to pump through the speakers as all the lights in the arena go out, with exception of the teletron. The letters ‘F’ and ‘X’ appear on the screen in blood red.
It’s not the same as it used to be
And I’m afraid it’s pointin’ back at me
I have to question what I still believe
I just hope I find the missing piece.
We see a red-led lit up purge masked Alexander Umbra walk out of the back and stop at the top of the entrance ramp. The word ‘Broadcast’ flickers on the tron, appearing underneath the ‘F’ and the ‘X’.
Feels like every day’s the same
Chemicals inside my brain
Make me think I’m in a simulation.
The word ‘Champion’ flickers on the tron now, coming up just underneath the word ‘Broadcast’. We can see what it was obviously spelling out before, ‘FX Broadcast Champion’.
Nothing ever seems to change
And it’s written on my face
Am I living in my own creation?
The chorus hits and Alexander begins to slowly walk down the entrance ramp, the lights still off as we basically just see the mask descending down the ramp towards the ring.
Am I alive or am I just breathing?
I’m so numb that sometimes I fear
It’s all make-believe
Is it … make believe?
Alexander stops just outside of the ring, the mask slowly tilting back as if he is looking into the ring.
I’ve been lost, looking for a reason
To carry on, but I’m losing hope
Is this all a dream
Tell me, is it make believe?
The chorus ends and the instrumental part of the song begins as the lights come up. Everyone is suddenly taken back when they see the nine tables surrounding the ring. On the left of the ring, three poker tables. On the right of the ring, three blackjack tables. Between the ring and the announcers, three craps tables. The only area with a line directly from the ring to the floor, is on the side of the entrance ramp.
Aiello: What the hell? When the hell did those get put out? They weren’t there when Caleb came out here.
Bennett: I blame that squirrely son o' bitch, Umbra.
Alexander takes the FX Broadcast Championship off from around his waist and hands it to a ref who is standing next to him. He climbs up onto the ropes and looks around as everyone looks hungry to start the match now.
DING DING DING
Alexander doesn’t even get the chance to climb through the ropes before Caleb Scott comes running AND JUMPS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE … SPEARING ALEXANDER UMBRA!!! Both of them crash into the ground on the outside, Caleb quickly gathering his wits and sitting up. He begins to pepper Alex’ ribs with body shots, before reaching up and grabbing at the purge mask. With the intention of ripping the mask off to give himself a chance to hit Umbra in the face, Caleb grabs the bottom of the mask and begins to lift it. But before he can move it too much, Alexander lands an elbow to the jaw of Caleb Scott, causing him to let go of the mask. With Scott stunned, Alexander quickly turns the tides and manages to roll them both over … pinning Caleb to the ground.
Meanwhile, in the ring, bedlam has begun as everyone is off throwing punches at each other … except Zack Tyler and The Mad King. Zack is watching Umbra and Scott fight on the outside, curious if he should risk it all and join in the fight. King Flip? He is leaning against the ropes, laughing at the two of them going at it on the outside. He nudges Zack Tyler and points to the two outside combatants.
The Mad King (no mic): Where’s the popcorn when you need it, am I right?
Zack looks at him with a confused look before pushing Flip away from himself, with both hands. Flip stumbles back and puts both hands up, trying to calm the situation.
The Mad King (no mic): Wait, man. My arm … it still isn’t right? Don’t do this. We don’t have to do this.
But it’s too late. Zack charges Flip and tries to slam him into the corner, but Flip drops down AND BACK BODY DROPS ZACK OVER THE ROPES!!! Zack manages to grab onto the ropes and lands on the apron. With Flip still having his back turned, Zack bends down and SLINGSHOTS himself to the top rope, using it to bounce into the air and land on King Flip’s shoulders. Zack leans forward, continuing his momentum … HURRICANRANA! FLIP GOES CRASHING INTO THE CORNER!
Behind Zack, we see Ruthless Aggression holding onto Vespertine, keeping her arms behind her back. Meanwhile Chelsea Skye is throwing jabs into Vespertine’s stomach. As for Kolby Kreel? He has his feet up under Tyler Bradford’s chin, Bradford standing in the corner and Kolby using the ropes for leverage. After a few seconds, Kolby lets Tyler out of the corner as the former two-time FX Broadcast Champion stumbles forward and drops to his knees, reaching for his throat. Kolby Kreel takes a few steps back and is eyeing up Tyler for a punt that could very weel kick him over the ropes … ZACK TYLER WITH THE SAVE AS HE THROWS A SHOULDER INTO THE BACK OF KOLBY’S KNEES! The Dark Warlord drops down as Tyler Bradford gets to his feet … SHHHHH!!! KNEE TO THE FACE OF KREEL AND HE COLLAPSES TO THE MAT! Bradford rubs his throat as he looks up from the download Kolby … 666! ZACK TYLER WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE JAW OF TYLER BRAFORD! TYLER GOES FLYING OVER THE ROPES … BUT LANDS ON A BLACKJACK TABLE!
Aiello: Oof...but what a save!
Bennett: Tyler Bradford looking for a quick round of cards for a break!
Alexander Umbra crawls into the ring finally, under the bottom rope. But before he can get up, he is instantly met with boots by Ruthless Aggression. After the third kick, she pulls him to his feet … SCOOP SLAM by the Hall of Fame and the FX Broadcast Champ seems a little caught off guard. WAIT … CALEB SCOTT IS UP ON THE APRON. He and Ruth lock eyes, with her backing away from Umbra. Caleb looks down at the champ … JUMPS … DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STO-NO! THE CHAMP MOVES OUT OF THE WAY. Caleb Scott looks up … SUPERKICK BY THE MAD KING!!! Ruthless grabs Flip and spins him around, DISCUS ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! King Flip stumbles back, tripping over Caleb who was on his hands and knees. FLIP FLIPS OVER THE ROPES!!! But the former International Champion lands feet first onto one of the craps tables. He stops and puts his arms out, making sure he is balanced. BUT HERE COMES ZACK TYLER! ZACK SLINGSHOTS UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND COMES FLYING AT FLIP … but Flip catches him, the table groaning in the process. Flip leans forward a bit, AND SNAPS BACK, THROWING ZACK OVER HIS SHOULDERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP!!! ZACK TYLER GOES FLYING INTO THE CROWD … BUT THE CROWD CATCHES HIM, PUSHING HIM UP ONTO THE BARRICADE. King Flip jumps to the second table, when suddenly the table he was on gives way and the legs give out. The Mad King turns and looks at the broken table, whipping the sweat off his forehead and giving a small chuck- SPEAR FROM ZACK TYLER AND BOTH MEN GO FLYING BACK INTO THE RING!!!
On the other side, Tyler Bradford has made it back into the ring himself and is currently involved in a three-way fight between himself, Chelsea Skye, and Vespertine. Ves lands a hit on Chelsea, who stumbles into Tyler Bradford, who pushes her away … only to get slapped in the face. Tyler pulls back and swings at Chelsea, but she ducks and he POPS Ves in the face! Vespertine stumbles back, grabbing at her jaw … before charging forward at Tyler. Chelsea moves out of the way of the woman on a mission. Tyler tries for another hook, but Ves ducks it and lands an open palm thrust to Bradford’s throat … then one to his chest … THEN A THIRD TO HIS GROIN! NO ONE SAW IT, BUT TYLER BRADFORD SURELY FELT IT! Ves grabs a bent over and howling in pain Tyler Bradford by the back of the neck, looking up at Chelsea. CHELSEA GRABS HIM TOO! They both go running towards the entrance ramp, pulling him along… AND TYLER BRADFORD GOES FLYING OVER THE ROPES TO THE OUTSIDE! TYLER BRADFORD CRASHES DOWN HARD ON THE MATS OUTSIDE THE RING!!!
TYLER BRADFORD HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Aiello: No round of cards this time, the former FX Broadcast Champion is OUT OF HERE!
Bennett: It's a damn shame and a travesty, is all I'll say!
Chelsea Skye turns to Vespertine to high five her, BUT GETS LEVELED WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Vespertine doesn’t have a short memory and remembers what Chelsea and Ruth did to her earlier in the match. Meanwhile, across the ring … Zack Tyler and Alexander Umbra are going at it. Umbra stands on the outside apron, going blow for blow with Zack. Zack’s memory isn’t short either, as thoughts of the match between the two of them from June, are surely going through his head. Zack ducks a wild elbow from Umbra and drives a shoulder into his gut through the middle ropes. Alex doubles over in pain, barely holding onto the ropes as his hind end sticks out a little farther than usual. Zack stands up, notices, and in response takes a few steps back. He charges forward … jumps OVER THE ROPES … AND GRABS UMBRA, TRYING TO POWERBOMB HIM ONTO ONE OF THE CRAPS TABLES! BUT UMBRA DOESN’T GO DOWN! Zack is trying his best, his legs dangerously close to the area between the table and the floor. Zack LIFTS HIMSELF OUT OF THE CREVICE! He puts his feet on the table and uses the table to try and push up … lifting Umbra and his own feet off the apron. Zack tries the power bomb again … but Alexander is still holding onto the ropes for dear life. Zack tries to pull him away … but he’s just … not … letting … WAIT! The Mad King comes running from across the ring … MISSILE DROP KICK THROUGH THE ROPES INTO ZACK TYLER’S BACK! THE EXTRA PUSH RIPS THE CHAMPION AWAY FROM THE ROPES AS ZACK FLIES FORWARD TOO!
CRASH!
ZACK TYLER SMASHES FACE FIRST INTO THE LIP OF THE CRAPS TABLE, BUSTING OPEN HIS TOP LIP AS THE TABLE LEGS GIVE WAY … AND ALEXANDER UMBRA GOES FLYING OVER THE FAN BARRICADE! The fans catch him and lift him up, placing him onto the barricade, putting his feet on the ledge as well.
On the other side of the ring, Tyler Bradford has crawled back up onto the apron and has a handful of Vespertine’s hair, while his free right arm is flexing up against her throat. The ref’s are yelling at him to get down, but he is not listening. AND HERE COMES THE MAD KING RUNNING ACROSS THE RING … he slides between Vespertine’s spread legs … UNDER THE ROPES AND KICKS TYLER’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM!!! Bradford lets go of Vespertine as he has to brace himself not to smack his face off the apron. Bradford stumbles back, still trying to figure out what just happened, when King Flip grabs the ropes while on the apron … slingshots himself up to the middle rope … ASAI MOONSAULT ONTO TYLER BRADFORD ON THE OUTSIDE!!!
Aiello: Seems Tyler was not pleased about being eliminated, but Flip just took him down!
Bennett: See, this is why when you get eliminated from these things you get the hell outta Dodge!
The refs quickly rush down to grab Tyler Bradford and remove him from ringside, while The Mad King gets to his feet. He looks out at the nearby crowd, smiling as he notices Darkwater emerge from the ramp with a folding chair. The chair is unfolded and placed down at the base of the ramp, The Mad King gladly taking a seat to rest his bones. Meanwhile, Darkwater reaches over the barricade and grabs a tray of nachos from someone wearing a ‘Moxie’ t-shirt, handing it down to Flip. Flip takes it and with a smile on his face, crosses one leg over the other and begins to eat the nachos.
Vespertine shakes her head in disbelief at The Mad King, turning around … AND KOLBY KREEL GRABS HER BY THE THROAT!!! He lifts her into the air … AND CHOKESLAMS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE!!!
VESPERTINE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Aiello: And out goes Vespertine!
Bennett: And with that, one less chance of the red brand coming up empty-handed!
On the other side of the ring, Zack Tyler is just beginning to get onto his hands and knees on the broken craps table. He gets up to his feet and arches his back in pain … AND THE CHAMP IS UP BEHIND HIM!!! ALEXANDER UMBRA JUMPS ONTO ZACK, WITH HIS KNEES IN HIS BACK! THERAPY SESSION!!! DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER AND THE FORCE CAUSES ZACK TO FLY OFF OF THE TABLE AND ONTO THE OUTSIDE MATS!
ZACK TYLER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Down to six, as Flip is still eating popcorn on the outside, Caleb Scott is staring Alexander Umbra down from inside the ring as is Kolby Kreel … AND OUT OF NOWHERE RUTHLESS AGGRESSION WITH A HANDFULL OF CHELSEA SKYE’S HAIR, JUST TOSSED HER OVER THE ROPES! She lands on a poker table … BUT BOUNCES OFF AND FALLS IN BETWEEN THE TABLE AND THE RING! HER FEET TOUCH THE FLOOR!!!
CHELSEA SKYE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Ruthless turns and looks at The Mad King, who is laughing at Chelsea Skye. Ruth slides out of the ring, under the ropes, and walks over to King Flip before Darkwater steps in between them. Flip stands up and peeks out from behind Darkwater … BUT HERE COMES TYLER BRADFORD AGAIN!!! HE CRASHES INTO FLIP, KNOCKING HIM DOWN! But Darkwater turns and rips Tyler off of him. Ruthless takes the opportunity to grab The Mad King by the hair, pull him to his feet … and roll him back into the ring. Ruthless slides into the ring, but Caleb Scott is already laying in kicks to King Flip. Ruthless joins in. Kolby turns and looks at the turmoil in the ring, but turns back towards Umbra … BUT UMBRA IS ON THE APRON! He slingshots himself to the top rope .. DROP KICK INTO THE CHEST OF KOLBY KREEL! Kolby stumbles back into the ropes. Alexander Umbra charges him, BUT KOLBY BACK BODY DROPS UMBRA OVER THE ROPES!!! Alexander grabs onto the ropes for dear life, landing on the apron. Kolby Kreel runs and bounces off the ropes on the opposite side of the ring … he comes flying back … lifts his boot up … AND ALEXANDER UMBRA DROPS DOWN WHILE HOLDING THE ROPE! KOLBY CAN’T STOP HIS MOMENTUM AND GOES FLYING OVER THE TOP TO THE GROUND BELOW!
KOLBY KREEL HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Aiello: They're dropping quick here Steve!
Bennett: Three in near succession by all accounts, and holy hell it looks like we're about to see another!
Umbra pulls himself up to the apron and rolls in, JUST as we see Caleb Scott clothesline Ruthless Aggression over the top rope to the outside.
RUTHLESS AGGRESSION HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
King Flip is sitting in the corner, nursing his arm … Alexander Umbra is catching his breath after just rolling into the ring … and Caleb Scott turns to look at both of them, a crazed look on his face. He turns his back to Flip and Umbra, but then bends backwards so that his hands are on the mat as well, while he looks at them both. He starts walking towards Umbra … BUT HERE COMES KING FLIP! HE TRIES TO PUNT CALEB SCOTT IN THE SIDE, BUT CALEB DROPS DOWN FLAT AND FLIP MISSES! Alexander Umbra is up. He charges forward at an off-kiltered Mad King … DAYDREAM BELIEVER WITH THOSE BRASS KNUCKLES OF HIS! King Flip stumbles a bit … looking like he is about to fall. But he stumbles towards Umbra … ANOTHER DAYDREAM BELIEVER AND THE MAD KING STUMBLES BACKWARDS AND FALLS OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE!!!
THE MAD KING HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Aiello: And out goes King Flip! Umbra just sent the former EWC International Champion flying out of the ring, taking him out of this match!
Bennett: Flip might have his sights on Umbra after that, but we're down to just two now Joe! We just saw some wild stuff here, and it all comes down to the Caleb Scott and the champion!
Umbra turns towards Caleb Scott and both men give each other death glares … suddenly the fans begin to boo as someone in a black rope hops over the fan barricade. They slide into the ring and stand up behind Umbra … removes the hood, we see it is Daphne Kreel. She spins Umbra around and grabs him … DISPEL MAGIC! DOWNWARD SPIRAL ON THE CHAMP! Daphne grabs the red mask and rips it off his head, before sliding out of the ring, cackling loudly. Umbra looks up at her, in total disbelief as she is walking backwards, waiving his mask at him.
Umbra crawls over and grabs the ropes, pulling himself up the best he can … glaring at Daphne. He climbs up to the middle rope and begins yelling at her … AND CALEB SCOTT GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND … FLIPPING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE FLOOR BELOW!!!
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winner, AND NEW FX BROADCAST CHAMPION … CALEB SCOTT!Umbra lays on the ground, his eyes open wide in disbelief … as a ref slides into the ring and hands Caleb Scott the FX Broadcast Championship that has eluded him for far too long.
Aiello: WHAT an ending! Umbra talked about losing focus and being distracted prior to this match, but in the end it was he who lost focus and worried too much about distractions.
Bennett: How could he not? That redheaded son o' bitch bitch just put her nose where it didn’t belong and that cost Umbra the title that he JUST beat Cyrus for. I’m sure this isn’t the last we hear from Umbra about Daphne, about Cyrus, or about the FX Broadcast Championship.
Luke Mason begins to jump up and down with his hands in the air after watching Caleb pick up the biggest win of his EWC career. He then suddenly drops down to his knees and begins searching under the ring. After a few seconds, he pulls out a large black duffle bag and throws the strap over his shoulder.
Aiello: Chance after chance Caleb has had and he finally is able to overcome and win the FX Broadcast Championship. We may have a new champion but the focus is turning to Luke who has pulled out a duffle bag from under the ring.
Bennett: What the hell is in this bag? Caleb already secured the real bag, the FX title.
Caleb notices Luke with the bag and gets a confused look on his face, clearly not privy to Luke's plan. Luke starts talking to the fans as he circles the ring and begins to unzip the bag. Luke reaches in and dramatically pauses before pulling out a small 6" statue of Caleb Scott. A mixture of cheers and laughs surges through the arena as Luke begins to hand out statues to all the fans and even throws some in the ring. Caleb picks one up and stares at it with a look of shock and a general sense of "wtf?" before he begins to smile, one that he clearly attempts to hide.
Aiello: Look at that, I guess Luke has forgiven Caleb for using that statue and has provided the fans with their own Caleb Scott statues.
Bennett: What in the hell is going on here, Joe? Statues? Caleb doesn't know what to think and I don't blame him.
Luke rolls into the ring with Caleb, who is still holding a statue of himself. Caleb tosses it aside and stands face to face with Luke, who has a giant grin on his face. Luke puts his hands out to the side, his body language asking Caleb what he thinks about the celebration Luke has for him. Caleb looks around at the fans, some holding his statues in the air, before looking back at Luke. Eventually, Caleb gives Luke a smile back, and the two bump fists before Caleb's music begins to fill the arena. The two men then each get on the middle rope in a corner and celebrate. Caleb raises the FX Broadcast Championship above his head as the crowd cheers on.
Aiello: It looks like these two are on much better terms now than they have been in the last few weeks.
Bennett: Winning fixes everything, Joe. I wouldn't be as weirded out if my friend made statues of me if I had just won a title too.
Aiello: What a moment for Caleb Scott, and what a way to end BRAWL 600! Thank you folks for tuning in, we will see you soon as all eyes are on the road to EWC RUMBLE XX, and next month we face the fallout of it as BRAWL heads to Sydney, Australia! For Steve Bennett, I'm Joe Aiello saying so long, goodnight, and see you at the RUMBLE!
Caleb and Luke close the night celebrating in the ring as some fans hold their statues above their head and others throw them back into the ring as this monumental edition of BRAWL fades to black.
