Images of previous EWC Champions are shown, starting with the very first Champion Black Ninja, then moving onto Big Danny Mac and Steve "The Predator" 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, Drake and Xplode all with the EWC Championship.
This is followed by highlights of showcasing current EWC Champions: Moors Murders, Stitches The Clown, Otaki, Neo James Carner, Luke Wolfe, Ace King and Morgan Darkwater
The opening pyros hit and here we go.
The energy at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is on high as the crowd is absolutely electrifying in their uproar of cheers.
Spotlights circle around the stadium as the thousands of fans in attendance are shown in a wide angle shot. The camera then pans back out showing a full-scale view of the jam-packed stadium and zooms in on some crazy fans. The crowd is rowdy, chanting the company's namesake.

Fireworks emit while a fog machine covers the lower decks of the stadium in a blue haze! Fans stand up, pumping their fists and raising signs as the camera feed pans to each one of them. One last round of fireworks blast out now, and we turn our attention to Mystery Man, FBI and Colin Hanks
EWC
Mystery Man: Welcome to the future! It might already be Tuesday here in Australia but for those watching in North America it's still Monday night! What I'm trying to say is .. there are over 100,000 people here and welcome to the Season Finale of the EWC .. welcome to WrestleFest XV
Hanks: What an unbelievable year its been folks. We have seen the rise and fall of some of our best, we've had Championships change hands .. we've had triumphant returns .. amazing rookie performances .. the new era of factions .. all of that will come to a head tonight as the final EWC show of 2017 is now here
FBI: Otaki, or whatever the fuck she is calling herself these days will be putting her incredible streak as FSW Champion on the line tonight against Reid and Lockheart
Mystery Man: Otaki and Lockheart have been going at it on twitter, I can already tell they will be at each others neck from the start
Hanks: Jeremy Warren and Hatchet Gully go at it for perhaps the final time in a FSW Showcase match which will be the final time Warren will be labeled as a member of FSW as he's now being signed to Rampage
Mystery Man: Neo James Carner will be putting his Television Championship on the line in a triple threat match against Frater of Brawl and Rayder of Rampage. Should be an interesting match that's for sure
Hanks: Those two may be new to Brawl, but you know we have some of the best scouts on the planet and those two are definitely going to be special. Neo better watch his back.
FBI: Next we have that fucking Clown and his Indy Championship .. in a ladder match featuring El something and Honey Hunt. They do some strange shit over at Prime and it works for them. Mystery Man would fit right in with them ..
Mystery Man: I really would. The build up to the match was something all shades of weird. Honey Hunt got Stitches to sign off on it by inflicting some pain and unbeknownst to her, Moss put a little twist in there... El Pablo
FBI: That's a big ol' twist Pablo loves matches like this.
Hanks: Ace King defends his United States Championship against the women he took the title from, Toni Gunn. Both wrestlers are double booked tonight .. so it will be interesting to see what approach they take on this match considering they need to keep themselves healthy and strong enough to continue later on
Mystery Man: Then we have a best 2 out of 3 pinfalls match featuring Rebel Rhodes and AJ Johnson .. both of which will also be appearing in our first match of the night .. the Battle Royal
FBI: Then we have some clusterfuck of a Tag Team Championship match .. I almost forgot those even existed to be honest. I don't understand the match, its fucking insane. Way too much shit going on. Moors Murders put their belts on the line, thats the extent of what I understand
Hanks: Keith Williams will try and bring the X-Division Championship back to Monday Night Brawl as he challenges current champion Luke Wolfe and Jeremiah Kelsey. This could be one hell of a violent, show-stealing adventure of a match here. Lots of hype and talk surrounding this one
Mystery Man: Then we have the final match of Shelley Silvers career as she will be retiring here tonight. Shelley will take on Olivia Saint in her final match. This should be an emotional affair to say the least. Shelley has thousands of fans here tonight and might gain even more before the night is over
FBI: Andrew Jackson will try and win back his International Champion against a fucking pirate. Morgan Darkwater has had a pretty dominate run this year on Brawl and will probably be up for Rookie of the Year at EWC Honors .. but a little parot told me .. ah fuck it .. I drank a shit ton of rum. Go Captain Morgan!
Hanks: We have a pretty monumental match after that .. Danny Mac returns to the ring, as our President puts the company and his job on the line against Brawl GM Victor Price in what has been one of the most talked about matches of the night.
FBI: Some people are fucking worried about losing their jobs. We already have a nut running the USA .. we don't need another tyranical fuck head running EWC. I think the world will unite for once and all be hoping Mac pulls this the fuck off. Otherwise, consider us all unemployed. Then again, I love an underdog story, so don't hate me for cheering Price on.
Mystery Man: Of course the match we have all been waiting for .. the big one .. The EWC Undisputed Championship Match
FBI: This match has changed more times then Hanks changes his underwear
Hanks: That might be the case .. but we get the original match of the Rumble Winner vs Drake. Ace King managed to pull off the win at this years Rumble and earned himself a shot at the EWC Championship. Drake of course had dealings with Price which resulted in his immediate release and vacating the EWC Championship. However Mac shocked the entire EWC Universe when he brought Drake back out at StableWars and signed him to a one year exclusive contract
Mystery Man: Which brought us full circle to .. Drake vs Ace King for the EWC Undisputed Championship. The fans have been wanting this, the locker room is eager to see this outcome and social media has been a buzz with this match for weeks now. Certainly Drake and Ace King bring a lot to this federation, and both men are equally deserving of being crowned its king .. but only one will be able to do so. Will it be the returning Drake, or will it be Ace King? Tonight .. we get our answer
Hanks: Speaking of social media, Twitter has been buzzing about tonight's WrestleFest .. here is what some are saying
Mystery Man: Well the time to tweet and talk is soon to be over .. it's WrestleFest and we ..
There is a huge uproar of boos from the fans when 'My Way' by Limp Bizkit begins to blast over the PA system signalling the entrance of Brawl General Manager Victor Price
Mystery Man: Well look at that .. it seems Victor Price will be making an early entrance here tonight
Price: I always wondered what 100,000 boos sounded like
Boos continue to reign down on Price
Price: Look, I get it .. you sum bitches are just as brainwashed as the sum bitches back in America. Tonight I make my debut in the ring and I wanted to be clear on a few things .. before I start .. I'd like to invite out our current EWC President .. Danny Mac .. calm on down to the Price is Right
Hanks: I doubt Mac will give in and come ..
The fans erupt in cheers as President Mac makes his way down the ramp
FBI: You were saying?
Mac and Price are now both in the ring .. Mac is handed a mic
Mac: I always wondered what 100,000 welcoming cheers sounded like
The fans erupt once again in cheers and chants
Mac: (in his best Lurch impression) You raaaaang?
Price: Thanks for coming out here Mac .. look .. I wanted to look you dead in the eyes and let you know that tonight's match between us will be a straight up match. I know I need to set the example as the soon to be named President of the EWC .. so I want my victory to be untainted. I am going to beat you straight up Mac. No outside interference. No Masked Men .. nothing
Mac: You know .. I almost believe you
Price: Mac .. I'm telling you right here, right now .. something inside of me has changed. I want to be a respectable man of the people. As the new EWC President, I want to be liked and loved like you are. I know the only way I can take the steps necessary to do that is to make damn sure I beat you straight up.
Mac: Is this really why you called me out here Vic? We have a show to get to here ..
Price: To show I'm a good guy, turning over a new leaf .. I wanted to give you one last opportunity to address the people as their President.
Boos begin to pour down thunderously
Price: Oh calm down .. I'm trying to conduct Danny's exit interview here .. I know your probably all fucking confused as to what anything outside of Cricket is .. but I'm trying to do business here
More boos pour down
Price: Well Mac .. any last words?
Mac smiles .. looks around the stadium then back at Price .. Mac takes a few steps closer to price, raises the mic to his mouth and says ..
Mac: Bye, Felicia
There is an uproar of cheers as Mac drops the mic and stands face to face with Victor Price
Hanks: Oh snap!
FBI: What the hell is Bye Felicia? Is Mac having a fucking stroke?
Hanks: You've never seen the movie Friday? Its like the ultimate kiss off diss
FBI: Kiss off diss? Can we please replace Colin someone? Please? Someone? Anyone? Even a fucking monkey will do
The fans cheer as Mac heads back down the ramp leaving Price alone in the ring
Mystery Man: We will be back with more WrestleFest .. right after this quick message from EWCTV
The fans continue to chant and cheer as we fade out

OVER THE TOP
BATTLE ROYAL
BATTLE ROYAL
Mystery Man: It is time to get things started! And what better way then with a battle royal!
FBI: This is one person’s chance to make a last minute impact on the EWC.
Hanks: Let’s see who it’s gonna be! Who is gonna be the one to watch next season? And who will walk away with a bonus of $250,000? That's right folks .. Mac told us tonight that $250K will be awarded to the winner of tonight's Battle Royal!
DING! DING! DING!
With everyone in the ring, they jump to life with a bang like a gun shot!
Hanks: As always we will do our best to keep track of the action wrestling fans!
Focusing in on one corner of the ring, we see Freddy Styles, Jack Nomad, and Carlos Ruiz tripling teaming candy who is backed into the corner! Candy struggles to fight back but has no where to go! Each of them grab her from a spot lifting her into the air!
FBI: Unfortunately for Candy it looks like she wont have a chance to make much of an impact…
They toss her and Candy grabs Freddy Styles by the hair as she goes over the top! She grabs the bottom rope, but Freddy Styles tumbles over with her but he goes to grab it just after she does and Freddy misses and falls to the floor!!!
FBI: I stand corrected…
Mystery Man: Styles is gone on a freak accident!
Candy eliminated Freddy Styles!
Candy rolls back into the ring, only to get stomped by Nomad and Ruiz. Moving over to the middle of the ring. Knox and spots Nomad and sprints across the ring leveling him looking to eliminate him right off the bat! Nomad goes over but skins the cat and comes back in, and now with Knox turning his attention to someone else thinking Nomad is gone, Nomad strikes and grabs Knox around the waist and nails him with a German suplex!
In another corner of the ring, Castle is on the top rope and Rayne comes from across the ring and nails him with a dropkick messing up his footing and he slips and falls off the top rope and lands on the apron! Addison gets up and tries to finish the job by landing a back elbow to Castle as he gets up but he blocks it! Ruthless Aggression sees the two battling, and takes the opportunity to clear the ring of one more wrestler maybe two, Addison ducks a clothsline but Castle gets caught and is thrown from the apron!
Ruthless Aggression eliminates Lucian Castle!
Rayne pops up seeing Castle is gone and she lifts her arms in excitement only to be leveled by Ruthless as well!
Ruthless Aggression eliminates Addison Rayne!
Mystery Man: EWC’s resident queen is cleaning house in there!
Lexi Glass takes this opportunity to grab Ruthless by the back of the head slamming her down to the ring! She gets ontop of Ruthless and brings down and round of hammer punches onto the EWC Legend. Moving away from Ruthless we are back at Knock and Nomad who are still going on at it! Knox has gained the upperhand and has Nomad locked in rear chin lock! He brings his elbow down on the head of Nomad over and over again, before pulling him to his feet and lifting him up into a vertical suplex! As those to chain wrestle in the middle of the ring, everyone seems well enough to let them have the center as Glass has Ruthless hanging on the top rope almost having her over the top!
Lavender is sent into the ropes by Connor, and she crashes into Glass and Ruthless! They both go tumbling over the top, but Ruthless Aggression manages to hold onto the bottom rope and roll back in under the bottom rope because of her positioning as Glass falls to the floor!
Lexi Glass is eliminated by Lavender!
Hanks: Sometimes, experience will do you better than aggression in this type of match… No pun intended.
FBI: Glass is not happy about this, the refs are having to hold her back so she doesn’t get back in the ring.
Hanks: I can’t say I blame her, she went from nearly eliminating an EWC Legend to taking a bump over the top rope to the floor.
FBI: Better luck next time.
Mystery Man: Lavender fell into a pile of wrestlers at that bump, and Ruthless Aggression seems to have saved herself for now.
Donnie Deco, Melinda Rhodes, and Criss Cassidy turn their attention to Ruthless Aggression and Lavender who have joined their fray! Everyone seems to be ganging up on Ruthan, looking to make a name for themselves. Cassidy shoves away Deco and Rhodes as he tries to put the boots to Hunter.
Deco doesn’t take kindly to this and grabs him by the hair! Cassidy throws an elbow to Deco who responds with a clothsline, but Cassidy ducks it! Deco spins around looking eye to eye with Cassidy to is looking for the elimination, but Deco ducks down and lifts Cassidy over his head and eliminates him!
Donnie Deco eliminates Criss Cassidy!
Mystery Man: The ring is starting to thin more and more by the minute!
Moving back to Knock and Nomad who are STILL going at it blow for blow, Candy and Ruiz are also still going at it from the beginning of the match! Ruiz throws Candy into Knox and Nomad, and they suddenly turn their attention to her. She backs up from them towards the ropes backing up into Ruiz. Ruiz holds her and tells the two men to get a free shot at her. They look at each other and they go for a double clothsline but she ducks and they level Ruiz sending him out of the ring to the floor!!!
Knox and Nomad eliminate Carlos Ruiz!
Hanks: Candy escapes again!
Lavender is now going at it with Melinda Rhodes, and Deco is now going toe to toe with Karson Owen! The fours scuffle becomes one big one! The three start to gang up on Owen and work together to topple him over the top rope, but he holds onto the apron! From the back Lexi Glass has run back to ringside and grabs him and pulls him down off the apron!
FBI: Get Lexi Glass outa here!
Hanks: It still counts…
Karson Owen is Eliminated by Lexi Glass!
A group of Officials again have to get ahold of Lexi and send her to the back, and have the unfortunate responsibility of informing Owen that he is still Eliminated. But just as quickly Jack Nomad tumbles over the top rope right next to them! From a replay on a split screen we see that Knox had Nomad in the corner delivering blows to the head, followed up by a face rub across the top rope, and he went underneath grabbing Nomad’s Legs and lifted him up and out!
Jackson Knox Eliminated Jack Nomad!
Holly Hunt jumps on Knox’s back trying to choke him out and Ruthless Aggression, comes up to try to help eliminate Knox. Sebastian Conner runs up and flips all three over the top rope and Knox, Hunt, and Ruthless all hit the floor together!!!
Sebastian Conner Eliminated Holly Hunt, Jackson Knox, and Ruthless Aggression!
Mystery Man: We have an AJ Johnson sighting!
FBI: THE DAY DREAMER!!!
AJ Johnson nails the Day Dreamer on Melinda Rhodes, just as Rust Stiletto hits the NAIL IN THE COFFIN on Candy! Just as Stiletto turns around Johnson kicks him in the teeth with a superkick, and he rolls over the top rope!
AJ Johnson eliminated Rust Stiletto!
Stiletto hops back up on the apron and grabs Johnson and the two begin throwing fists at each other! Lavender takes advantage and grabs Johnson’s legs and uses the leverage with Stiletto pulling him down to topple him over the top rope!
Lavender eliminated AJ Johnson!
Candy starts to stir and Lavender pulls her to her feet, and spins her in a circle and sends her over the top as well!!!
Lavender Eliminated Candy!
Mystery Man: We are down to the final four!
As Conner and Deco fight it out on one side of the ring, Lavender appears to be picking up the scraps as she grabs Melinda Rhodes and tries to do the same to her as she did to Candy, but Rhodes manages to hold onto the top rope!
With her feet dangling, Lavender thinks she has her beaten! Rhodes hangs with one hand from the top rope as Lavender runs and hits Conner with a drop kick to the back who was completing a ten punch to Deco. Conner falls over the top of the turnbuckle and lands on the steel steps!
Mystery Man: Let’s hope that Conner knows where he is right now!
Lavender sees that Rhodes is still hanging on, she grabs the dazed Deco and sends him right at Rhodes! Rhodes is reaching at the top rope with her other hand, with the top rope pulled down, Deco falls over to the floor and Rhodes loses her grip!
Lavender has Eliminated Donnie Deco, Melinda Rhodes!!!
Lavender looks around and she is the only one standing in the ring!!! She falls to her knees and screams thinking she has won!
Mystery Man: Conner is on the steps!
Hanks: And into the ring!
Conner climbs through the ropes grabs Lavender from behind by the hair and the belt of her trunks sends her over the top! Conner wins!!!
Sebastian Conner Eliminated Lavender for the win!!!
DING! DING! DING!
Mystery Man: Wow Sebastian Conner has done it! He's won the Battle Royal here to open up WrestleFest and earned himself a cash prize of $250,000
Hanks: This thing really could have gone either way tonight, so much talent in that ring .. lots of young upcoming stars too .. what an effort by everyone, especially Conner and Lavender for being the final two. I'm really impressed by everyone though.
FBI: Conner had just enough in him out last the other 17 fighters in this one. What a way to end his season and hopefully this kickstars something great for him in 2018 other then the cash bonus
Mystery Man: Everyone should be proud of their efforts tonight .. out of 18 people only one could stand alone as the winner. Tonight it was Conner with a gutsy effort. Now lets head backstage as something is happening there ..
BACKSTAGE
Just seeing him...the face behind the mask...it sent me into a rage...it didn’t matter that I had a shot tonight at the FSW Championship...a chance to get my hands on Maggie Lockheart for what she had done at FSW #51...my shot at Otaki and her reputation of being one of the very best the EWC has to offer...none of that matter at this moment...his locker room door was open...he was right there...stretching for his match...his chance at the Indy Championship...a voice echoed inside my head...screaming at me…
KILL HIM...BUST INTO THAT ROOM AND TAKE HIS SHOT TONIGHT AWAY FROM HIM...HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM YOU...YOUR FATHER...YOUR CHANCE...YOUR NAME...END IT RIGHT NOW...XAVIER...KILL HIM…
But it was my Uncle’s voice...over and over again...there were times I wasn’t sure who hated him more...but was what I feeling really hate...his words played over and over again inside my head...El Pablo’s explanation of the events of the last few years...that maybe my blind rage for everything Volando had cost me my chance to have a brother…
NO...those were just words...an empty gesture to try and make himself look good...the truth had wrecked Chico...and the fans turned on El Pablo for doing nothing...but what was he supposed to do...really...it wasn’t his mistake...it was Chico’s...I never reached out to EP...I never went to him with the truth...if I had would things had been different…
Would I just walk into that room and wish him luck tonight...or maybe be out there as his second...would he return the favor...we could in theory both walk out of WrestleFest tonight as champions...it would be something to celebrate...a party like no other...or someone to lean on if we fall short tonight...someone who knows how hard it is to get the match but even harder to win...we had both had our share of success in this business and failure...who better to know what this can do to you than a brother that has walked in your shoes...as much as my uncle hated my father and his family he still had him...a brother to lean on…
But me...I was alone...ok sure I had Villano...but he wasn’t here...he didn’t come to the shows...he stayed in New Mexico and ruled over the school he felt was owed to him...he was a bitter man...sure...but did he really have my best interests in mind...I was wondering that of late...he wanted to use me as a vessel...a vessel for his own revenge...the rage he had for me getting eliminated at StableWars...it was like nothing I had ever seen...add to that that El Pablo made it to the final 2...if he could have ripped my head off I think he might have…
But my focus wasn’t on the match...it wasn’t an excuse it was reality...I was too focused on beating El Pablo and not Team Prime...I had Villano’s voice in my ear...inside my head…
KILL EL PABLO…
I got to where I was in FSW because I was only concerned with the FSW...sure El Pablo was on my mind...he always was...but I was focused on my own business...being the FSW Champion...but Villano had turned that focus onto El Pablo...making it as if beating him was my only goal…
PROVE YOU ARE BETTER THAN HIM…
Damn it...let it go...I could feel myself filling with rage as I looked at him...how was this going to help me tonight...Otaki and Maggie were elite...if I was worried about El Pablo then I was doomed to fail...then I would have another reason to hate him...but it wouldn’t have been his fault…
STOP IT…
Leave it alone Xavier...just keep walking and get your head right...worry about yourself and only yourself...look at how much success you had before all this Volando Drama...you were a World Champion...well on your way to having a career of legions...you were able to put that all behind you once...do it now...at this moment...just keep walking down the hall...don’t give him another thought...let him watch as you won the FSW Championship...if he wins the Indy Championship good for him...Ace will be there to pat him on the back and tell him how great he was…
Ace...I watched as he entered the locker room from the other side...watched as the two embraced...as if they were brothers...wishing each other luck I’m sure...it was a big night for both of them...well all of us...we had once all called the same company home...and here now we do it again...all three of us could walk out as Champions tonight...but only two of us would be together celebrating…
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT...A BROTHER…
Yes...that’s what I always wanted…
NO THAT’S WHAT YOU USE TO WANT...AS A CHILD...THEY DIDN’T WANT YOU...THEY IGNORED YOU…
Yes...yes they did...I was never family to them...and I went out of my way to destroy them...to ruin them...and then again Villano’s voice rang in my head…
PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE BETTER THAN HIM…
Walk away...Xavier keep walking...move...NOW!!!! Otaki and Maggie...they are the ones you need to worry about...your blind hate for your family already cost you StableWars...it caused you to miss Maggie’s plot to take FSW by force...it cost you an ass kicking...do you want to miss out on paying her back here tonight because of him...tonight needs to be about you...about what’s best for Xavier Reid…
You have the chance in one night to chance the balance of the FSW forever...to unseat a champion many feel is unbeatable...Otaki...they talk about her around here as if she is Miss FSW...when you say those three letters people think of her and her only...as if there is nobody else worth knowing...she has had a death grip on that belt for seven months...the longest reigning singles champion among the current champions...the person many believe SHOULD be in tonight’s Main Event...and just think about what they will say when you are the one that ends that run...when you knock off the unbeatable and hold that belt up high…
And how those assholes in The Future will feel when they see you and not their fearful leader walking into 2018 as the face of the FSW...everything she promised them...the fame...riches...and glory all swept aside at her inability to live up to the lofty expectations set on her...cracking under the pressure as they realize that she can’t lead them in a straight line let alone to the top of the FSW…
Just think about walking into FSW #52 as the FSW Champion...and understand this...them...that they are not important...because no matter what El Pablo or Ace King does tonight it will have no impact on you...they can have each other...you will have the EWC…
YOU DON’T NEED THEM...any of them…
FSW CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Magdelena Lockheart
Vs Xavier Reid
Vs Otaki
Mystery Man: Wow, what an amazing Battle Royal to kick off WrestleFest this year. I'm not entirely sure what happened backstage .. But if you think that we’re going to slow down the pace, just wait until you hear about what’s next.
Hanks: That's right Mystery Man, up next we have the FSW Championship Triple Threat.
Dobrev: Our next match of the evening is scheduled for one-
Suddenly all of the lights in the Melbourne Cricket Grounds go out and it leaves the arena shrouded in darkness. The crowd surrounding the ring begins to murmur quite loudly at the speculation of a power outage.
FBI: What’s going on here?
Hanks: I don’t know. Are we still on the air? Can anyone hear us?
Mystery Man: I do believe that we’re still live-
From out of the darkness, a white spotlight shines straight down on stage. There’s a blonde-haired girl sitting behind a piano. The crowd goes into a frenzy when they realize that the girl is in fact pop-culture icon Taylor Swift!
Hanks: Oh my god, is that who I think it is?
FBI: Quiet, Hanks!
The Melbourne crowd roars with approval as Taylor Swift starts to play.
As the heartbeat bass of Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” drops over the Arena PA speakers, FSW’s Princess Magdalena Lockheart emerges from behind the curtain. Magdalena steps out into the center of the white spotlight wearing a long black dress. For a moment she stands at the top of the stage and applies deep cherry lipstick to her lips with the aide of a pocket mirror. The ramp in front of her lights up like a model’s runway as Lockheart stands at the top of it. A full orchestra accompanies Swift’s piano as Lockheart walks down the ramp as if she’s modeling the dress, pausing briefly at the bottom to pose.
Lockheart walks around the ring towards the camera side, moving all of the way to the southeast ringpost before pulling herself up onto the ring apron. She centers herself on the apron and stands facing the crowd.
But I got smarter, I got harder, In the knick of time.
And me I rose up from the dead I do it all the time.
I got a list of names, yours is in red underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice-
Ooh!
Lockheart grabs her dress with both hands and on beat with the song, she rips the dress down the center! Flashes go off from cell phone cameras in the crowd as Lockheart reveals her tight black leather brassiere hidden beneath. Lockheart pauses for a few moments to allow the crowd to snap more photos.
She steps through the ropes to enter the ring.
Dobrev: Our next match of the evening is scheduled for one fall
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Dobrev: And it is a triple threat, no disqualification, falls count anywhere match for the Future Stars Championship! Coming to the ring first .. from Inwood, New York. She stands in at 5 foot 3 and weighs in tonight at 111 pounds .. She is the Artist… the Princess of FSW… Representing the Future… Magdalenaaa Lockheartttt!!!
Lockheart takes to the far ring corner, pulling herself up on the middle rope to allow the crowd on the other side of the cricket grounds to snap their photos too. Magdalena reaches into her back pocket and produces a pair of black leather fighting gloves that she slips down over her hands. Lockheart then takes to the opposite corner and waits for her opponents to enter the ring.
Dobrev: Next...residing in New York City, weighing in at 227 pounds...XAVIER REID!!!
The lights inside the arena go out as Cochise starts up. A single strobe light flashes in the direction of the stage. As the lyrics come in Xavier walks out from behind the curtain and onto the stage. He paces back and forth across the stage before walking to the edge of the ramp and raising his arms into the air, crossing his forearms into a X over his head. He walks down to the ring, eyes glued on the ring and ignores the fans he passes. Xavier marches up the steps and jumps into the ring. He heads right to the corner and climbs up to the middle rope and once again raises his arms into the air and crossed his forearms into a X.
Dobrev And finally....from Sherwood Forest weighing in at 148 pounds....she is the reigning, defending Future Stars Champion...ROBINA HOOD!!!
They say we wanted attention
Those five words of “Ignite” by Noisestorm, None Like Joshua & Veela, along with a momentary flash of bright light, immediately caused an incredibly loud, and mostly positive, response from the tonight's audience as red petals rain down from the ceiling of the arena. A purple-haired lady comes through the black curtains, black jacket proudly draped over her shoulders and, instantly knowing that she is Robina Hood, the people in attendance begins to become even louder with their cheers. The forest-dweller throws her arms up high in the air, her forefingers pointing out towards the sky. This caused the jacket to fly off her shoulder and onto the stage floor, revealing her military-styled red dress - with a translucent portion in the front of the skirt - to the cameras, with the FSW Championship securely wrapped around her waist, and generated a lot of wolf whistles from the men and lesbians in attendance, before confidently beginning to walk down the ramp, keeping her distance from the people in attendance while doing so. She didn't waste much time in getting to ringside, up the ring steps and onto the ring apron. But instead of immediately entering the ring Miss Hood partly sat down on the middle rope and glanced towards the crowd, giving him a happy looking smile before finally entering the ring. Shortly after entering the ring Robina unfastens the FSW Championship from around her waist, spins around at 270 degrees and punches the air with the Title at the moment “watch me ignite” escaped the P.A. System, electing an even louder response from the people in attendance tonight.
DING DING DING!
At the sound of the bell, Reid takes off from his corner and runs at Robina. Without hesitation, Robina sidesteps and plants Reid’s face into the top turnbuckle with a drop toe hold. Reid’s head bounces off of the turnbuckle and Maggie is right there behind him to slam him with a german suplex. Reid’s body flips over and rolls to the other side of the ring as Maggie quickly scrambles to her feet. Robina takes advantage of her being down and kicks her in the side a couple of times. Going for a third, Maggie grabs her foot and twists her ankle, pulling Robina down to the mat with her. She then climbs on top of Robina and attacks with a series of punches. Robina tries to fend them off the best she can before finally wrapping her arms around her body and slamming her head forward, right between Maggie's eyes with a hard headbutt.
MM: She’s going to feel that in the morning!
Colin: ”Not nearly as bad as I can imagine Reid’s head must be feeling right now and for the remaining week.”
Robina pushes Maggie off of her and climbs to her feet while she lies there with her head held in pain. Robina then grabs her by the hair and pulls her to her feet. Out of nowhere, Maggie delivers a hard elbow to the gut that puts Robina in the turnbuckle, holding onto the ropes to keep from going down to the canvas. Maggie then climbs the turnbuckle over Robina and hits her with a series of punches as the fans begin to count as each one connects.

By this time, Reid has made it back to his feet and slowly walks to the corner, trying to sneak his way into the action. Maggie looks back and takes notice before jumping from the turnbuckle into the air with a backflip. When she comes down, she lands behind Reid and drops him to the mat with a neckbreaker that sends a thud throughout the arena. Maggie gets to her feet and as soon as she turns around, Robina is there to plant her into the mat with a spear followed by slamming her head into the mat over and over with rage.
FBI: OUCH!!!
MM: You can never take your eye off of one opponent in a triple threat. This is what happens!
Robina climbs off of Maggie and notices Reid slowly getting to his feet. She turns his attention towards him and grabs him by the back of the head. Robina then drags him across the ring and throws him into the turnbuckle, underneath the top rope, slamming his shoulder into the metal post. Reid then falls through the ropes onto the apron and Robina then grabs the top rope and springboards over and comes down on Reid’s head hanging off the apron with a leg drop.
FBI: DDAAMMNNN!!!
Reid’s body flips over and crashes to the floor as Robina slowly climbs to her feet, feeling the pain from that move. She then slides into the ring but is quickly met by Maggie who stomps on her back as she tries to get up. Maggie then pulls Robina to her feet and takes her right back down with a snap suplex in the center of the ring. She then runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle. Robina slowly gets to her feet as Maggie just waits to make her move. Once up, Robina turns his body towards Maggie. She leaps from the top rope of the corner with a flying crossbody. Quick to react, Robina catches her and fluidly drives her into the mat with a powerslam. She then covers for the pin as the ref drops for the count.

Colin: Maggie kicks out!!!
MM: I thought this thing might have been over before the real action happened!
Robina wastes no time and gets up, pulling Maggie with her. She then delivers a series of backhand chops to her chest that get big pops from the fans.
FBI: Getting a little close to those treasures of hers…
MM: Do you always think like that?
FBI: I’m just saying, if it was me, I might have a hand slip… on purpose.
Reid slowly gets up on the outside of the ring. Robina gives Maggie one last chop before grabbing her arm and throwing her to the ropes behind her. As Maggie approaches the ropes, she notices Reid struggling to get to his feet. She then leaps through the top and middle ropes and dives directly into Reid. The two collide with Reid breaking her fall and receiving all of the impact. Maggie then gets up and picks Reid up as well. She then slams his head into the barricade separating the fans from the ring. The fans go nuts as things begin getting really interesting and down right what they came to see. Maggie then grabs Reid’s arm and throws him into the ring steps. Reid crashes into them, knocking them over as his back collides. She then gets right back up and keeps her focus on Reid. She picks him up and kicks him in the stomach. Reid quickly lunges over in pain and Maggie takes advantage, planting his face into the hard floor with a DDT.
Colin: We saw shades of this out of Maggie at the FSW season finale, but she's really taking it to another level tonight.
MM: And Xavier has been virtually grounded by both women tonight. He can't get out of the starting gate!
On the inside, Robina watches on for a moment. She then climbs out of the opposite side of the ring and heads straight for the commentary booth.
Colin: Here comes Robina Hood!
FBI: I know exactly what she wants.
FBI stands up and grabs an empty chair at ringside. He then turns around and hands it to Robina who’s standing at the booth, waiting. The fans cheer as FBI turns around and pumps his fists. Robina then walks around the ring with the chair in hand.
MM: So now you’re getting involved?
FBI: I’m just giving the fans what they came to see! Plus, I wasn’t about to give up my chair. Do I look like I want to stand for the rest of the night?
Colin: It wouldn’t hurt.
Maggie has Reid by the hair, pulling him to his feet. Finding a burst of energy, Reid connects with a hard right. Maggie then connects with a right of her own. Reid fires back with one of his. Robina then approaches with the chair in hand. Maggie kicks Reid in the stomach and then turns him around, pushing him towards Robina. Robina then draws the chair back and steps forward, slamming it into Reid’s head, knocking him to his back, out cold.
FBI: That’s what we came to see!
Robina then looks up at Maggie who looks on herself. She then swings at her with the chair but misses as she jumps back. She swings again but misses once more. Robina then tosses the chair at Maggie and she catches. Robina then jumps in the air with a spinning kick and drives the chair into Maggie’s face. Maggie falls back a few steps and crashes into the fallen ring steps. The chair falls out of her hand and bounces at Robina’s feet. She looks down at it and nods before picking it up once more. Robina then takes a big swing at Maggie who’s on the ground. She rolls out of the way as the chair slams into the metal steps with a thud. Robina then swings again and comes down at Maggie only for her to kick the chair back up in her face. The metal backrest pops her in the face and knocks her back a few steps before she trips and falls over Reid’s fallen body. Down beside Robina, Reid quickly rolls over for the pin on Robina as the ref drops down for the count.

MM: Reid almost stole the match!
Robina rolls Reid off of her and slowly pulls herself up using the barricade for help. Meanwhile, Maggie slowly gets to her feet using the ring steps to help. The two get up at the same time while Reid continues to lay on the hard floor. They then approach each other and lock up on the outside of the ring. Maggie takes control and locks Robina in a headlock and then takes a few steps before planting her with a bulldog. She then goes for the cover.

KICKOUT!!!
FBI: Robina isn’t going down that easy!
MM: Easy? They have been beating the hell out of each other!
Maggie rolls off of Robina and uses the side of the ring to get to her feet. Robina does the same. The two get up at the same time. Robina then grabs her by the hair and slams her face into the apron. He then rolls her underneath the bottom rope into the ring. Robina then grabs Reid by the back of the head and jerks him to his feet. He then rolls him into the ring as well. Robina then grabs the steel chair at ringside and tosses it over the top rope, into the ring and crashing onto the back of Reid’s head with a thud.
MM: Things just aren’t getting any easier for Reid tonight.
Colin: He’s taken more damage than Maggie or Robina but hasn’t delivered nowhere near as much as they have.
Robina climbs onto the apron as Maggie gets to her feet. She picks the chair up off of Reid and attacks his knee with it. Robina then springboards onto the top rope and flies at Maggie. She quickly takes notices and jabs the chair into her mid section. Robina lands but bends over in pain, with the breath knocked out of her. Maggie then slams the chair on the mat behind Robina and drops her on top of it with a Russian leg sweep. She then goes for the pin but Reid is right there to pull her away by the leg. Reid then kicks her while she’s down but comes up short as Maggie turns over and kicks him in the groin. She then jumps to her feet and attacks Reid with a series of kicks and punches. She then runs to the ropes and jumps towards them. Reid looks back to keep an eye on her only to watch her bounce off the middle rope and come back with a spinning back elbow to the face. Reid flies across the ring before crashing and rolling out of the ring.
FBI: FINAL HEAVEN!!! This could be it!
MM: Not just yet!!!
As Maggie turns around, Robina is there to slam the chair in her mid section, returning the favor. She then slams down to the mat in front of her. Robina kicks her in the stomach again and then wraps her arm around her head and hooks her arm. Robina then lifts Maggie into the air in a cradle position and lifts her up and over with a powerful cradle hammerlock DDT onto the steel chair in the center of the ring.
MM: HOLY HELL!!! Now, this could be it!
FBI: Robina's Arrow! Robina hit Maggie with Robina's Arrow on top of a steel chair!”
Robina then covers Maggie’s motionless body as her head rests on the dented chair. The ref then drops for the count…

THRE-NO!!! Xavier Reid break up the pin with an elbow drop to the back of Robina!
FBI: And the bastard Volando is back in the game!
MM: Xavier Reid, on the outs for most of this match, just reinserted himself into the title match with a vicious elbow drop from the top rope.
Colin: Unbelievable...this is better than any of my movie roles...they are putting on an award winning performance!
Reid, a trickle of blood starting to drip down his face from the would where the Future opened him up at FSW 51, wipes the blood from his head, and a sick grin comes across his face. He slowly moves in, picking Robina up...
MM: X-ploder to Robina! Xavier Reid nearly broke the champ with that move!
Colin: Looks like Mr. Reid has had enough of the ladies controlling the show here, and he's had enough if it.
Reid methodically moves toward the downed Maggie Lockheart, still in a long daze from taking Robina's Arrow into that steel chair. Xavier picks Maggie up, taking shit to her the entire time, slapping her across the face, then WHACK! Reid drops her with a vicious kick to the face. Maggie is now sporting blood from the combo of the Arrow on the chair and that kick right to the top of her forehead.
Xavier pulls her into position, climbs to the top rope....
FBI: Shades of his family name here...he's gonna fly!
Xavier leaps....X Marks The Spot....and he hits ALL OF IT!
MM: That could be the championship right there!
Robina slowly moves away from Reid and the out Maggie, and both pull themselves to their feet. Once there, Reid and Robina slowly move toward each other, standing face to face. Reid jawing at Robina, Robina jawing back at Reid. FInally, they start trading knife edge chops to each other. Wooooooooooos filling the cricket Grounds as they go back and forth, battling head to head, chop for chop. Robina swing and misses, and Reid comes around for a clothesline, but Robina hits her Matrix evasion, and comes back with a rising Kamehameha to Reid's chest...stunning him just long enough for...
FBI: Robina's Arrow on Reid!
The cradle hammerlock DDT she hit on Maggie earlier, she brings back on Reid, dropping him hard. She runs over to punt Maggie in the ribs, but Maggie, out of instinct, hits a drop toe hold, tripping Robina as the champ stumbles into the corner. Maggie pulls herself to her feet, blood streaming from her forehead, moves in for the kill. Before Robina can turn around, Maggie runs with all her might, hits the middle rope and leaps toward Robina....
MM: LaCrimosa!!! Maggie hits the FSW champ with LaCrimosa right into the top turnbuckle!
Colin: WOW....where did she get that burst from to hit that stomp that high in the air?
FBI: Is the Future about to be right here, right now??
Maggie lands hard, but Robina slumps over in the corner. Maggie grabs Robina by the legs, and covers her

FSW SHOWCASE MATCH
Jeremy Warren
Vs Hatchet Gully
Jeremy Warren
Vs Hatchet Gully
Mystery Man: WOW! What a match we just witnessed for the FSW Title. That will go down in history as one of the greatest FSW matches in History! It will be tough for any match to follow that, but the two competitors of the FSW Showcase match will do just that.
Hanks: There is no love lost in this upcoming match between Jeremy Warren and Hatchet Gully.
FBI: There was some time lost though. And if it plays out how Gully proclaimed I think, it will again.
DOBREV: Introducing first...weighing in at 225 pounds….hailing from Gettysburgh, PA…..HATCHETTTT GULLLLYYYYY!
Heavy Metal Kings blares out and A$hley Quid runs out from the back and jumps around celebrating, then insulting the audience when they boo. She waves a hand behind her and Hatchet Gully walks out and bounces to the music as he goes to the ring.
Mystery Man: Hatchet Gully despises Warren. He feels Warren has been gifted opportunities that should have been given to Gully.
FBI: It’s True. It’s Damn True!
Hanks: The only thing true that has ever come from Gully’s mouth is admitting he will cheat and use any cheap tactics to get himself over on his opponents.
A firetruck siren screaming through the PA system brings everyone attention to the entrance stage. As it fades, "My Hero" by Foo Fighters kicks in, and Jeremy Warren appears on the stage with a big smile on his face, walking to the ring with a fast pace, exchanging high fives with some of the front row fans, before sliding inside the ring and climb to the turnbuckle, giving the military salute to the camera.
DOBREV: And his opponent...weighing in at 205 pounds...hailing from New York City…. JEREMYYYYY WARRREENNNNNN!
Mystery Man: Jeremy Warren is looking to settle the score once and for all with Hatchet Gully before making the jump to Friday Night Rampage.
FBI: Well he is in for a Rude Awakening. There is no way Gully lets him leave with his morale intact.
Hanks: Listen to the love from the fans, they will help cheer him on to victory if they have their way.
DING DING DING
Gully and Warren stand toe to toe. In the blink of an eye, they begin exchanging hard right hands, each knocked back a step before coming back with a Hard right of their own. Until Warren ducks one of Gully’s punches, but as Warren comes back up, Gully catches him with a KTFO. He quickly goes for the cover...the ref counts…

Tw...kickout by Warren
Mystery Man: Gully showed he has Warren scouted. They have battle many times before, so they know each other very well.
FBI: Gully beat him before, he will easily do it again.
Hanks: I think you are forgetting Warren has bested Gully more times than not.
FBI: Erroneous!
As Hanks just looks at FBI dumbfounded. Gully drags Warren to his feet. He goes to whip Warren into the corner, but Warren reverses it, sending Gully crashing into the corner. Warren climbs up the turnbuckle and begins unloading right hands upon Gully as the fans count along…

Warren gets to his feet, obviously pumped up. He takes a second to appeal to his fans, and they shower him with cheers. He turns back to grab Gully, as he pulls him up to a knee, Gully connects with a hard shot to the gut. As He gets to his feet, he connects with a Foot Stomp, followed by a European Uppercut. He turns and runs to the ropes, he bounces off the ropes, and goes a High Knee, but Warren manages to spin away to avoid the contact. Warren goes for a clothesline, but Gully ducks it, and reverses it into a Backslide pin. The ref counts…

Tw...kickout by Warren.
FBI: Look at how smooth Gully is in that ring.
Hanks: A smooth criminal if you ask me. Only a matter of time until he tries to cheat his way to victory.
Both men are quick to get to their feet. Gully charges, but Warren manages to catch him with a Hip Toss Neckbreaker. He is about to go for the pin, when Ashely Quidd jumps on the apron, distracting the ref. Warren gets up and takes a few steps toward Quidd and the ref, but as he does, Gully sneaks up and catches him with a Low Blow, causing Warren to drop to a knee. Gully takes this opportunity to lock in a Stretch Plum submission, Quidd sees this and hops off the apron. Warren is struggling as Gully tightens his grip. Warren is slapping the back of Gully, trying to grab Gully’s head to find a way out of the move. The ref checks to see if he quits, but Warren waves him off.
Mystery Man: Jeremy Warren is in trouble here. This submission move is very painful.
Hanks: Warren has that Never Die Attitude.
FBI: That means nothing. He is no Superhero as much as he wants to think he is.
Warren stops fighting the hold for a few seconds, the ref checks to see if he lost consciousness, but at that moment, Warren bends his knees, then pushes up with all might, managing to exert enough force to flip up, over, and out of the move, simultaneously dropping Gully with an Reverse DDT.
Hanks: What a Counter by Warren! That was incredible.

Gully drops to the mat then rolls outside the ring. He stomps on the downed Warren a few times. Before the ref starts his count, he yells at Gully to take it back in the ring. Gully ignores him and drags Warren to his feet. He grabs him by the head, then proceeds to bang Warren’s head into the apron a few times then follows up by whipping Warren into the barricade. Gully hears the ref’s count get to THREE, so he rolls in, then back out the ring to break the count. He heads back to Warren and delivers a few hard kicks to the gut before grabbing Warren and dragging him to his feet again. He goes to whip Warren into the Ringpost, but Warren reverses it and sends Gully headfirst into the Ringpost. Warren drops to a knee. It takes a few seconds for him to hear the ref’s count get to FIVE. Warren gets to his feet, and slides in the ring, giving him the chance to take a breather. Ashley Quidd rushes over and helps Gully to his feet. Gully smashes down on the apron out of anger before rolling into the ring at the EIGHT count.
The fans begin cheering…

FBI: BUT IT DIDN’T...AND IT WON’T.

Gully storms to his feet as Warren gets to his at the same time. They circle each other, Warren goes to lock up, but Gully has different plans as he drives his knee into the gut of Warren, grabs the head of Warren and takes him hard to the mat with a Sitout Facebuster.

Dobrev: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…..HATCHETTTT GULLLYYYYYY!
Mystery Man: Hatchet Gully gives Jeremy Warren’s FSW swan song a depressing tone with that victory.
Hanks: I have to give credit where credit is due. Gully said he was going to beat Warren, and he did just that. FBI, you are rather quiet.
FBI: I’m trying to figure out how many different languages I can use to say I TOLD YOU SO!
Mystery Man: Stay tuned folks, we are just getting started. We have seen some heart wrenching action thus far, and the excitement continues. Coming up next we have the Triple Threat Match for the EWC Television Title. Will Robbie Rayder or Frater Perdurabo be able to take the title from Neo James Carner? Or will Neo be heading into the Tag Title Match with the Television Title still in his possession? We find out...NEXT!
Ashley Quidd slides into the ring, pushes the ref out of the way, and raises the hand of Hatchet Gully in victory. Gully and Ashley Quid exit the ring, as they do there is a commotion in the crowd. Gully pays no mind to it as he is just to the jeers. But as he continues up the ramp, he fails to notice Karson Owens come out from the crowd. Karson has golden microphone in his hand, runs up behind and smashes Gully in the back of the head. Owens then proceeds to stomp on the downed Gully. He picks up Gully then him hard down on the ramp with the Killshot. A group of refs head down the ramp as Owens gets up and heads back through the crowd.
BACKSTAGE
The feed cuts backstage, and the crowd roars as Ace King walks confidently with the United States Championship affixed to his shoulder, and Shelley Silver’s newly-blinged hand in his. They chat with, and accept a few plaudits from, some of the backstage staff before they carry on, but they don’t get too much further before Ace Heart can be heard hollering down the hallway.
Ace Heart: Ace! Ace!
Ace King: You really need to stop talking to yourself.
Ace Heart: Har-dee-har-har. Anyway, do you have time for a quick chat?
Ace King: Am I allowed to say no?
Ace Heart: No-
Ace King: Goddamnit.
The crowd laughs as Heart is forced to recompose himself, motioning quickly for his camera to go live.
Ace Heart: Here, we have one-half of tonight’s Undisputed Championship main event, Ace King. Knowing the kind of threat Drake presents in the ring, how well-prepared do you believe you are for the upcoming Iron Man Match?
‘The Gambler’ can barely suppress a scowl toward the interviewer as the question is being asked.
Ace King: Once again, all anyone wants to talk about is what Drake’s gonna do; I should have expected it from Aiello, but you, the supposed beacon of unbiased information? That hurts… But you know what? I’ll dignify you with an answer. The truth is out there in black and white: I AM NOT HERE TO BE ASHTON DRAKE’S CHEW TOY, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!?!
The anger is present on King’s face, but he takes a breath and calms himself down before they resume.
Ace King: Anyway, the ink spilled on Drake is justified, but I’m not a sub-headliner here; I got here by proving my worth time and time again, and I’ll do it again by retaining the United States Championship first, because there’s NOBODY who can take away-
Voice: Is that so?
The camera quickly pans, and the crowd boos heavily as Tag Team Champion Toni Gunn appears in the shot, with her Moors Murders partner, Harvey Yorke, standing alongside.
Toni Gunn: I could have sworn you said you proved your worth over and over, on top of saying I didn’t deserve my rematch. Where do you get off? The only reason you won the Rumble and the Doomsday Cage is because I wasn’t in them, and you know it. You don’t think I deserve to face you again? That’s fine; I’m just gonna make sure you can’t make it to your dream main event. Bet On It.
The crowd is enraged at Toni for employing his catchphrase; the staredown is intense before she finally takes her leave, but Ace has a smirk on his face as the Moors Murders slowly peel away, with the feed cutting to our next match
TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Frater Perdurabo
Vs Robbie Rayder
Vs Neo James Carner
Mystery Man: Here we go, our next championship match. And this one's for the EWC Television Championship!
FBI: Don't get too excited.
Colin Hanks: Yup, this'll be Neo James Carner of the ReVenants defending against Robbie "Aire" Rayder and Frater Perdurabo. Should be an interesting combination of personalities.
The scene cuts to Nina Dobrev in the ring, beginning the match with an opening announcement.
Nina Dobrev: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will be contested under triple threat rules for the EWC Television Championship! Introducing first...
IN THIS YOUR TIME OF NEED
The lights in the arena go out, save for a sole spotlight on the stage.
YOU'RE TURNING TO THE LIGHT
A hush has fallen over the audience, as well as the commentary table.
YOU HAVE JUST BEGUN TO EXPLORE THE DARK IN THE URBAN NIGHT
Momentarily, the spotlight that once illuminated the stage ceases to be and leaves the arena in a pitch black state.
THE WORLD IS ON FIRE
"Deus in Absentia" by Ghost rips through the arena. What was once darkness is broken by the bright lights on the stage; standing center is Frater Perdurabo holding a staff topped with what could be assumed as some sort of holy symbol. Behind him were four men, each dressed in robes and sporting plague doctor's masks. They stood two abreast and in two rows, each with a hand wrapped around a pole jutting out from the sides of an altar that was centered between them. The first step was taken by Frater and his cloaked men followed.
Nina Dobrev: Hailing from The Church of the Golden Light, he is the prophet of the one true savior... FRAAAAAAAATERRRRRRRR PERRRRRRRDUUUUUURAAAAAABOOOOOOOO!!
Once at the base of the steps, the cloaked men set the altar down and two set themselves onto the apron and spread the ropes while Frater climbed the stairs and stepped between them with a hand on his hat to keep it in place. Once in the ring, "Deus in Absentia" faded from the PA and the cloaked men stood with their backs to the crowd along the barricade with the altar at their feet. Frater took to the center of the ring and beckoned for the fans in attendance to share in his sanctimonious display.
FBI: I'm so spooped I pooped my pants.
Colin Hanks: Disgusting. Did you really, FBI?
Mystery Man: I believe he's pulling your leg, Colin.
Audibly you can hear someone sniffing, and it doesn't seem like they're smelling something too sweet.
Colin Hanks: My nose says otherwise, Mystery.
"Do You Wanna Start a War?" by Fozzy plays over the PA system and the lights go out in the arena, then a fog covers the entrance. The lights slowly come up as Robbie Rayder, wearing long multicolor tights and boots, walks out through the fog and kneels down. He points his index fingers to the ceiling then lowers them to point at the ring. Rayder looks out at the crowd as he walks half way down towards the ring, then runs towards the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope. He gets to a knee and smiles then gets to his feet, leaning out through the middle and top ropes, playing to the crowd.
Nina Dobrev: In the ring at this time, from Key West, Florida... ROBBIEEEEEEEEEEEE "AIRE" RAYYYYYYYYYYDERRRRRRRRRR!
Mystery Man: Robbie Rayder is a relative newcomer to the scene of EWC and I'm interested to see what he makes of this opportunity tonight. It could very well be a make or break match for the upstart.
Colin Hanks: I'm right there with you, Mystery.
FBI: Don't choke on his dick too much, boys.
"Fightin' Words" By Casino Madrid begins to play melodically over the loud speakers as the sound of guitars ascend to the boiling point and the song engages with a fierce snare and double bass drums.
Neo begins to make a triumphant strut down to the ring, his chin held high as his hands lay at his side moving with his stride, the EWC Television Championship strapped securely around his waist. He looks down all around at the people at the side of the ramps, he keeps his bearded chin up as he glides effortlessly forward in a striding saunter.
Neo makes it to the ringside area as he circles around the ring, jumping up effortlessly onto the apron and climbs into the ring. He walks over to the ropes on the side of the stage as he grabs the top rope with his hands and then yanks down on it, flexing all of his muscles before releasing it, a giant white and red pyro exploding out the top of the nearby turnbuckle like a mortar.
FBI: Now this is the type of guy we should be talking about. All day, every day. Neo James Carner is the very reason why so many people tune into Monday Night Brawl each week. Hell, he's the reason why so many people are bothering to watch this very match! Frozen Potato? Bobby Parade? Ha! NJC is the real deal, gentlemen.
Colin Hanks: I don't think it can be debated he's a skilled wrestler, however...
FBI: Don't even start, Colin! You haven't been relevant since Orange County!
Colin Hanks: I... Uh...
Mystery Man: Let's not steer the conversation away from the match soon to begin right in front of us.
Neo roars into the air as he circles the ring, unfastening the gold around his waist and lifting the EWC Television Championship up high for everyone to see, peering out into the crowd as he gives his bare chest a hardy slap. He has a grin on his face, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stares out into the crowd.
Nina Dobrev: He is your reigning and defending EWC Television Champion, from Huntington Beach, California, weighing in tonight at a slim and trim two hundred and fifty eight pounds... "THE RESIDENCE OF MALEVOLENCE" NEOOOOOOOOOOOOO JAMESSSSSSSSSSS CARNERRRRRRRRRR!
Neo rushes the ropes one more time and he yanks them with a mighty rip and the corner mortar pyro goes off again as the song keeps blaring over the PA. Neo rotates his neck as he steps to the nearest corner and leans against it cracking his knuckles and awaiting the match to begin.
NJC reluctantly relinquishes his championship over to the hands of EWC official, John Dean, the referee for this match-up, all the while shouting out threats to his opponents as he backs himself into one of the four corners. John Dean holds the EWC Television Championship with both hands, bringing it around to each competitor to explain to them what is on the line in this contest. With this accomplished, John centers himself in the middle of the ring, raising the championship overhead to be presented properly. After some cheers, John hands the title over to a random stage hand on the outside, who then hands it over to the timekeeper. It looks like we're ready to go!
DING DING DING
Neo makes no attempts to change his position, continuing to lean against the corner he's in even after the bell rings. Frater has remained in the center of the ring, it's only Robbie that has decided to walk around, feeling out the vibes. He gestures to the crowd with a clenched fist pumped into the air, receiving a little bit of feedback. Rayder looks from Frater to Neo, sizing up his opponents as he remains the only person making any type of move so far.The Aire Nation start up a chant of, "Go, Rayder, Go!", enticing the young man to show them some high risk moves. Robbie approaches Perdurabo first, offering his hand forward in what looks to be a show of sportsmanship with a handshake. The Father of Faith stares at him with a blank look on his face, unimpressed or disinterested with this sign of respect. Frater offers no facial expression, nor an outstretched hand to meet Robbie's. Rayder awkwardly retracts his hand, turning around now to approach NJC. The Infinity Man looks at Robbie with a smirk, finding it hard to believe that this kid is going to try the same thing with him. And sure enough he does, Rayder extends his hand, looking to shake hands with the current reigning, defending, and best EWC Television Champion in history... Neo James Carner.
FBI: What is this guy doing? He's worried about shaking hands?
Colin Hanks: Some people value integrity, FBI. I doubt you know the meaning of the word.
FBI: Value? Sure I do, Colin. Value is me. Value is my insight. Now shut up and let me watch this match!
NJC tries to laugh it off, expecting that Rayder would give up eventually like he did with Frater. Instead, Robbie keeps steadfast with his decision to uphold sportsmanship, leaving his hand open and shakeable should Neo decide he wants to, you know, shake it. After the laughing dies down, Neo actually starts to extend his hand in an attempt to meet Rayder's hand. Just as he nears Rayder, The Residence of Malevolence lashes out with a kick to the groin that connects directly. The Aire Nation lets out a groan similar to Robbie as he immediately crumples to the canvas holding his damaged junk.
Mystery Man: I'm not sure about that maneuver choice, but it was effective.
Carner goes back to his previous state of leaning against the corner, resuming his laughing as he looks down at Robbie.
FBI: Look at that baby dick crying! I bet he's a little mama's boy!
Colin Hanks: There's nothing wrong with loving your mother. Rob Garcia proves that.
Frater isn't as amused, deciding it's time to take action, laying in several stomps to the back of the head of Robbie. He starts to pick up the leader of the Aire Nation, acting as if he might drop him with some spectacular move, but goes with a TESTICULAR CLAW!! The vice-like grip Perdurabo has on Rayder's bits is unimaginable, expressed only by the terrified look on Robbie's face. The Father of Faith really cranks down, making sure the testicular claw is nice and tight, keeping everything neatly pinched together and painful.
Robbie lays in several elbow smashes to the face of Frater, seemingly doing no damage as the Prophet of the One True Savior wrenches the hold in more. In his weakened state, Rayder becomes victim to a series of arm-trap headbutts by Perdurabo, noticeably rocking the high flyer. He releases Rayder long enough to start up a brutal offensive of rakes, going for the back and eyes with his hands. Frater is unrelenting, scratching any sensitive area of Robbie that he can find before irish whipping him into the corner opposite from the one Neo has been watching from this entire time.
Frater looks over at NJC with a blank expression, not intimidated by the champion it would seem. Perdurabo turns back to Robbie, rushing in after him in the corner, connecting with a brutal forearm across the bridge of the nose. To add insult to injury, Perdurabo lays in two more forearm strikes across the bridge of the nose of Robbie Rayder, producing a gentle flow of blood from both nostrils.
Mystery Man: Frater Perdurabo is out for blood and he doesn't care who he has to go through here tonight!
No one's been paying attention to NJC and that's always a dangerous decision. While under the assumption he's just been laughing at what's been going on, The Infinity Man has actually laid in wait until the ideal moment. With Frater's back turned, Carner plows into the corner like a locomotive, slamming into Perdurabo with a Stinger Splash and squashing Robbie between the corner and Frater.
FBI: That's what you get, dummies! Never take your eyes off Neo effing James effing Carner!
Colin Hanks: Tell us how you really feel, FBI.
FBI: Aren't you listening, Colin?! I just did!
NJC leads Frater out of the corner, lifting him up in a half-nelson slam and bringing him down into a backbreaker that leaves the Father of Faith clutching at his sore back on the mat. Neo lifts him up by the head, irish whipping him into the ropes and as he returns, putting him down with a tilt-a-whirl sidewalk slam. Carner is quick to get to his feet, going over to the corner that Robbie is in and shredding his chest with knife edge chop after knife edge chop. With Rayder back to being slightly sedated, Neo flips him upside down in the corner, positioning him in a way that he's in a tree of woe state.
Neo backs up a few steps, stepping on top of Frater's mid-section in the process as he does so. He lines up the distance, takes a running start and hopping over Perdurabo this time, Carner blasts Robbie Rayder from his upside down situation with a spear! With nothing to hold him up, Robbie crashes to the canvas and Neo rolls him over, going for a pin.

BROKEN UP BY FRATER!!
FBI: A travesty! That's what this referee is right now. He's a travesty in slowmo that can't even count right!
Mystery Man: The man's doing his job just fine, FBI.
The Father of Faith rocks Carner with a boot to the back of his head that breaks up the pinfall. He's not finished there, after some more boots to the back of NJC's head, Frater gets him to his feet again. Perdurabo slaps Neo in the face once, twice, three times a lady! Finished with the slapping, Frater whips him off into the ropes, following closely after Neo and connecting with the LUZ AUTEM SEMITA just as he hits the ropes! Frater wraps his arms around Neo's head, clutching him tight in a headlock as he runs back with him and leaps into the air, coming down with a bulldog that leaves NJC wiped out!
Frater gets back to his feet, looking down at Neo and then over at the fallen Robbie Rayder that is beginning to stir. Perdurabo stomps on Neo's head a few times, leaving him be for the moment to re-direct his aggression towards the leader of the Aire Nation. Frater slowly makes his way over, grabbing a chunk of Rayder's hair and pulling him to a standing position. Perdurabo lifts him up and looks to be going for the... DECEREPENDO DE INFIRMI!!
Rayder has the wherewithal this time to think fast, rotating himself up and onto the shoulders of Frater as he attempts to spinebuster him out of his boots. There's a slight hesitation to prep, but when he's ready, Rayder uses all of his leg strength to bring Perdurabo down directly on the crown of his head with a... POISON RANA!!
Mystery Man: Oh my god! Frater is out! Frater is out!
Colin Hanks: That may be all she wrote, folks!
The crowd lets all three competitors know how appreciative they are for their sacrifice, clapping and chanting and making enough noise to let you know they're there and they're happy to see some EWC action!
Frater is laid out, face down on the canvas, allowing for Rayder to effectively lock in the BLACKOUT right after that killer inverted frankensteiner. Both arms trapped, Rayder wrenches back with everything he has, trying to break Perdurabo with that double arm-trap crossface submission!
FBI: Look at him, he can't even lock in a sharpshooter right!
Mystery Man: The man isn't going for a sharpshooter, FBI!
Colin Hanks: Get your eyes fixed, man!
John Dean is in close, making sure that he's repetitively asking the Father of Faith if he wants to submit or not. Once more, the attention has drifted from Neo, and in a case like this... DANGEROUS!!! Why is that? Because with nowhere to go, Rayder is subject to a... NEO CLASSICAL SYMPHO-KNEE!! The Infinity Man comes running in from outta nowhere to plant his knee into the face of Robbie, breaking up the submission hold and leaving the young competitor flat on his back.
Carner turns his attention to Frater, scooping him up and overhead, until he decides it's time to hit a... RAZOR BOMB! The impact of the splash mountain bomb leaves Perdurabo bouncing up several inches from the mat as he hits it, the sit-out nature of the move automatically leading into a pinfall attempt.

KICKOUT!!
NJC now attempts to pin Robbie Rayder, hooking the leg deep and yelling at the referee to count quicker.
1...
2...
KICKOUT!!
Neo slaps the mat angrily, sure that he had it there. He grabs Robbie by the hair, slapping him in the face as he brings the leader of the Aire Nation back to his feet. Neo James Carner yells some not so nice things at him, talking about how he didn't earn this. He goes to slap Robbie once more, until Rayder blocks it and looks up at him with a determined look on his face. No longer looking to shake the hand of NJC, Robbie unleashes a barrage on his opponent in the form of... SHOCK & AWE!!!
FBI: No! No! No! You do not treat NJC like that! There will be a lawsuit that follows because of this!
The combination of a spin kick, super kick, and a sick kick back to back to back is too much for Neo currently. The EWC Television Champion begs off from the action for now, choosing to make an exit to the outside and letting Rayder and Frater duke it out for the time being.
Robbie is back on Frater, lighting him up with kicks to the mid-section and upper body. Rayder is absolutely relentless in his desire to win, dragging Perdurabo over to a nearby corner as he kicks him one last time in the gut. The Aire Nation leader steps out to the apron, getting to the top rope as he measures up Frater. The Father of Faith has gotten himself vertical again, stumbling a bit as he faces the corner Rayder is perched upon.
Robbie looks out at the crowd for a split second, shooting a clenched fist into the air and leaping off the turnbuckle for the... AIRE RAYDE V.2!!
Mystery Man: Can he? Will he? Go all the way?!
Colin Hanks: It looks like he might, Mystery!
Unfortunately, that split second is all it takes for the Father of Faith to counter his opponent's finisher into his own, hitting a wicked and spine rattingly... DECEREPENDO DE INFIRMI!
FBI: Hahahaha! He went all the way into the canvas!
You'd think Robbie was dead judging by the staggeringly horrendous angle that he takes the move. It's enough to leave him with his eyes closed and his mouth agape as Frater hooks his leg for a pin.

NO!!! SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, ROBBIE KICKS OUT! ROBBIE RAYDER KICKS OUT!!
FBI: This referee is going to get fired. Count like a man!
Mystery Man: I thought you were rooting for Neo.
FBI: I... I... I am! But there's no way Robbie Rayder could possibly kick out of that!
Colin Hanks: He just did!
Frater is none too pleased with this development, rising up and directing two of his masked followers to come over. Perdurabo lifts Rayder up, leaning him against the ring ropes so each follower can take an arm. Frater slaps Rayder in the face several times, trying to get him conscious enough for what he's planning next. Robbie looks up at him with glazed over eyes, trying to get his bearings as he starts to fight against his captors. Despite the struggle, the two followers are easily able to keep him restrained.
Frater tries to shush Rayder, reciting to him what sounds like passages from some ancient tome. He pats the leader of the Aire Nation on his head like a pathetic dog being put out of its misery, backing up until he's against the ropes opposite of Rayder. Frater looks at Robbie with no look of anger, no look of happiness, just quiet peace, right before he lunges forward with the... LUZ AUTEM SEMITA!!!
FBI: Goodbye, Robbie's face!
Despite the abuse he's sustained throughout this match, Robbie Rayder keeps fighting back, pulling one of Frater's followers into the running big boot, subsequently sending the person flying off of the apron and to the ground below. The remaining follower is taken out by Robbie with a well-placed spin kick that also sends them flying off of the apron.
Colin Hanks: It looks like Rayder's face is safe for now!
FBI: Where is Leatherface when you need him?
Perdurabo in a fury, runs at Rayder, swinging for the fences with a lariat that nearly hits its intended target, if not for Robbie ducking out of the way and switching behind Frater with a waistlock. He clutches at his opponent tightly, forcing him into the ropes and using the momentum to quickly pull Frater back into a rollup. Except... Robbie doesn't stop there, breaking the pinfall attempt and mustering all the strength he can, deadlifting Frater up and over with a... BLITZKRIEG!!!
Mystery Man: Holy shit!
He doesn't waste any time in reacting as he sees Neo James Carner on the outside not paying attention to his surroundings as he jaw-jacks with a fan in the front row. Robbie starts to bounce up and down, summoning the energy needed to... Bound across the ring and dive over the top rope with a... TOPE CON HILO!!!
Whether he has cat like reflexes or he was intentionally drawing Robbie into doing something stupid, Neo comes out of it completely unharmed as he moves out of the way in the nick of time just as Robbie soars up and down, pelting the floor like raw meat hitting a cutting board. Carner has something in his hands... It's... It's... A pool cue! A pool cue?! I guess in the aftermath of the situation he grabbed it from underneath the ring. Now armed, NJC wraps the stick around Robbie's windpipe in a way that forces him up. Neo keeps this pool cue assisted choke/headlock applied, smiling for a bit until he viciously throws Rayder back into the barricade with a Russian legsweep.
FBI: That's what you get, Robbie! That's what you get when you mess with the best!
Mystery Man: You wouldn't be a fan of Neo, would you, FBI?
FBI: Of course I am! How couldn't you be?! The man is our savior!
Mystery Man: Yeah, that's what I thought. Smooth, real smooth.
Colin Hanks: He's worse than Jack Black at an open bar. And I would know, I was in Orange County!
Mystery Man: We know!
FBI: We know!
The sound is as agonizing as the appearance of the move. From the looks of things it would be a miracle if Robbie gets up anytime soon after crashing and burning like he did only to get abused even more by NJC. And it doesn't look like the current EWC Television Champion is done with Robbie either. Neo gets him back up, peppering the newcomer with heavy handed haymakers. Propping him against the apron as he pulls another weapon out from underneath the ring, a steel chair! Instead of whacking Rayder with it, Carner carefully places it on the ring apron, planning something else. Neo digs at the eyes of Rayder, gouging and scratching them, getting up onto the ring apron and bringing the leader of the Aire Nation with him.
FBI: Finish him!!
NJC carefully positions himself and Robbie in a way that they're standing over the steel chair that was put on the apron. Without hesitation, Neo lifts Robbie into the air in a vertical suplex. Holding him there for a few moments until he swings him back down and straight into the unforgiving steel chair with... THE SPATIAL REND!!! THE SPATIAL REND!!! THE SPATIAL REND STRAIGHT INTO THE GOD DAMN STEEL CHAIR!!!
FBI: That's it, ladies and gentlemen! Robbie is done! That's how you retain a championship!
It's anyone's guess how neither of them dies in the process of this horrific move getting hit. Neo takes some damage, but Robbie is definitely more worse for wear of the two. There's a period of time that passes before Neo can get back up, and when he does he slowly drags Robbie back up as well. The Infinity Man pushes the lifeless body of Rayder back into the ring and follows after. Seemingly unconscious, Robbie is slowly rolled over and over until Neo is able to hook his leg for a cover.

DING DING DING
Nina Dobrev: Here is your winner and still your EWC TELEVISION CHAMPION... "THE RESIDENCE OF MALEVOLENCE" NEOOOOOOOOOOOOO JAMESSSSSSSSSSS CARNERRRRRRRRRR!
There's an uproar of cheers and boos for NJC, a shot of the crowd reveals more than a few signs for Neo specifically and the ReVenants. Tonight is his night, having defeated both Frater Perdurabo and Robbie Rayder to successfully retain his EWC Television Championship. John Dean hands him his championship and he greedily snatches it from him in the rudest fashion imaginable. Carner hugs the gold close, signaling to Frater and Robbie that they were close but not close enough by using his two barely separated fingers as a comparison.
Mystery Man: Well, it appears Neo James Carner is still the reigning and defending EWC Television Champion.
Colin Hanks: What a match though. All three men gave it their all. None of them should upset at their efforts as it was all left in that ring
FBI: Yup, and the better wrestler came out on top. Neo. Neo's the better wrestler.
Neo makes his way to the outside, working his way up the ramp, ignoring anything the fans have to say right now. Carner still hugging the EWC Television Championship looks out at the crowd with a smug grin, looking at his two opponents still in the ring with a dissatisfied expression. NJC turns around, disappearing into the backstage area happy to be a champion still.
PRIME CHAMPIONSHIP
LADDER MATCH
El Pablo
Vs Honey Hunt
Vs Stitches The Clown
Mystery Man: Congratulations are certainly in order for Neo but we are moving quickly here onto the Indy Championship where three EWC Prime Superstars are ready to put it all on the line here tonight in front of over 100,000 people .. by far the biggest crowd they have ever Wrestled in front of
Spotlights scan across the darkened arena as a lone voice hollers from the speakers, cracking under the weight of its own emotion:
“Viva Volando! Vive este momento! Viva la Rainbowlution!!”
Immediately, the intro to “Stronger” by Kanye West hits the sound system, the spotlights now pulsating to match the pounding of the kick drum.
That-that-that that don’t kill me / Can only make me stronger,
Man, I been waitin’ all night now / That’s how long I been on ya!
As the main hook hits, a single burst of rainbow-coloured pyro explodes up from the stage, popping the crowd as they dance beneath a dazzling, dizzying disco light display. As Kanye begins to spit his verse, the curtain parts, and El Pablo bursts out onto the stage, arms outstretched with a huge grin on his face, the top of his mask concealed beneath the hood of his trademark, fur-lined vest.
Debrov: “The following contest is a ladder match and it is for the INDY CHAMPIONSHIP, introducing first, from the Ikebukuro District of Tijuana, England… Weighing in at 195lbs...He is the Technicolour Tecnico, and the Leader of the Rainbowlution… ELLLLL PABLOOOOOOOOOO!!!
EP pauses at the top of the ramp, soaking in the reaction of the fans and encouraging them to offer even more. After a few moments, he drops to a knee, reaching into the pocket of his vest and pulling out a packet of Skittles. He empties them into his hand, takes a deep breath, then rolls forward, popping back to his feet and “shooting” the candy shells out from his palm towards the camera.
He then charges towards the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and popping back up in one fluid motion, before bounding over towards the corner and ascending the turnbuckle, throwing his fists into the air in triumph. As the crowd continues to come alive, EP pulls another packet of Skittles from his pocket, tossing back his head and chugging them before hopping back down to the mat. He whips his vest off and tosses it to a crew member, performing a few last-minute stretches against the ropes as his music fades.
The Rockabilly guitars of “Train Kept a Rollin” hits the PA system. As soon as the Johnny Burnett´s lyrics kick in Honey Hunt appears from behind the curtain. With a broad smile Honey spreads out her arms and starts slapping hands with the fans.
Debrov: Making her way to the ring, from Birmingham Alabama, HONEY HUNT!
Honey keeps greeting the fans as she walks down she walks down the ramp jiving to the beat of the music. She locates a fan in the front row, slips out of her pink glitter vest and hands it to the fan with instructions to take good care of it until after the match. At ringside she jumps onto the apron, turns around to lean into the ropes and backflips herself into the ring.
Back on her feet Honey walks around the ring and climbs all for turnbuckles, posing and cheering for the fans until the theme fades out.
Debrov: And their opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, he is the Indy Champion, STITCHES THE CLOWN!
As the first chime sounds, the lights go dark. Suddenly, a single spotlight shines down upon the stage. Standing on top of the stage is a small child wearing a red raincoat with a diamond-shaped hood with a pointed top and pointed sides. The child is playing a xylophone as they sing an inaudible tune. Standing behind the child is a man playing a violin. As the child plays the xylophone the lights dance in tune, as if there is a sense of synchronicity. As the two finish their haunting tune the lights once again go dark as 'One Missed Call (2008) Theme' begins to play.
As the beat drops at around the thirty seven second mark the lights come back on, shining a single spotlight down upon the stage once more. Where the small child and the violin player once stood now stands Stitches. A wide, red-painted Chelsea-esque grin is across the face of Stitches as he stares out at the crowd of people before him as smoke billows through the curtains and onto the stage behind him.
Stitches methodically makes his way down the ramp, staring down the crowd members who dare lean too far over the crowd barricade. As he reaches the bottom of the ramp he stops and once again looks out at the crowd of people before him. Stitches approaches the nearby steel stairs, climbs up onto the apron and begins walking the edge of the apron like a tight rope before reaching the nearby ring post. Stitches climbs up onto the second rope and throws his arms out wide for the crowd to embrace him. As expected, the crowd does not embrace a sinister-looking clown.
Stitches hops down from the rope and enters into the ring before approaching the nearby corner of the ring. Stitches turns around, facing the center of the ring and sits down in the corner of the ring, waiting for the bell to ring.
The referee explains the rules to the three athletes in the ring. Both El Pablo and Honey Hunt are revving to go whilst Stitches looks passive. Once he is done explaining the rules he calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!!!
Mystery Man: You put Stitches in a match he is not quite comfortable with, Honey Hunt a bonified competititor and El Pablo a high flyer in a ladder match. This is going to be special
FBI: I agree. Prime has had some special matches all season long, but I do not doubt the ability of this one match to blow the rest out of the water
Hank: You can already tell from here that those two plan on taking the champion out of the equation first.
That seemed to be the plan as both Honey and Pablo chatter away for a second before both heading towards the champion. Stitches lunches the first right hand into El Pablo’s face and then one into Honey, but before he can gain any sort of advantage, El Pablo recovers and nails a kick to the midsection which is followed by a DDT from Honey Hunt. With the champion down Pablo helps Hunt back to her feet, they shake hands, and then begin to trade blows themselves.
Mystery Man: This match is going to be all shades of weird
Hank: You are telling me
Honey gains the advantage and whips Pablo across the ring. He bounces off the ropes and once he returns he is dropped by a spinning elbow. Honey then refocuses her attention on Stitches who is now helping himself to his feet. She grabs the man by the neck ready to nail him with a suplex but instead he lunches a quick hand into her midsection and lands her with a spinning neckbreaker. Stitches leaves her and heads over to Pablo who is finding his own footing, this time he grabs the man by the head and bounces that head off his knee sending him right back down to the mat.
Mystery Man: Stitches is cleaning house
Hank: He should have taken a job as a maid rather than a wrestler with that kind of sanitary talent
Stitches heads out of the ring and to one of the two ladders mounted on opposite sides of the ring. He grabs it and places it on the mat, but just when he is about to thrust it into the ring enough to get in, he gets his brain rocked by the same ladder as El Pablo slides into it with both outstretched feet. Stitches drops to the ground with the ladder still in the ring. Pablo finds his feet but just when he reaches out to get the ladder, he feels Honey Hunts arms firmly wrapped around his waist. What comes next is a German suplex but to Honey’s utmost surprise, he lands on his feet and then catches her with a running hurricarana sending her shoulders first into the ring post just over the second rope.
Mystery Man: Ouch! That looked like it hurt
FBI: Nah, it’s just bone against steel, how could that ever hurt anyone ever
Hank: I sense sarcasm
FBI: Oh, do you now?
Hank: Now I’m sure that’s sarcasm
FBI: You don’t say
Mystery Man: Okay, enough of that, back to the fight.
Pablo has the chance to set himself up for an early win and he had every intention of taking it. He picks up the ladder and sets it up in the center of the ring. He had barely climbed three flights when he felt the hard swing of a baseball bat against his back from Stitches. He wails away and falls to the mat below. Stitches drops the bat, picks him up and nails him with the Sound of Silence which puts him out of commission.
Mystery Man: He just hit him with the sound of silence
FBI: Ironically, these fans are anything but silent right now, they are loving this competition
EWC

Stitches begins to make his way up the ladder unopposed and quite confident, but unbeknownst to him Honey has found the energy to go on and rises slowly to her feet with the help of the ladder steps. She doesn’t notice Stitches at first, she scours the arena and didn’t see him but once the fans notice her dilemma, they sell out the champ.

She steers up to find Stitches on the 3rd highest step and within touching distance of the title. Without hesitation she shoves the ladder off the ground and the champion goes flying to the outside crashing hard against the hard floor.
Mystery Man: Oh my word that was a horrible fall
Hank: That it was, the champ is motionless right now
FBI: I’ll tell you someone who isn’t, El Pablo
Pablo was slowly finding his feet and Honey seeks the help of the ladder to put him down once more. She folds the ladder and picks it up. She makes a quick run at the Rainbow Man but he immediately catches on, goes to ground and clips her heels. She falls and bangs her head against the ladder which bounces off the corner ropes and rests there. As she goes to ground El Pablo climbs on top the wobbly ladder and then launches himself in the air and lands a moonsault connecting square in the midsection.
Pablo grabs the ladder and sets it up once more in the center of the ring but then notices Stitches is starting to move on the outside. He exits the ring and goes to attend to the champ. He connects with a roundhouse kick to the champ, well, at least his hand. Stitches shoves the leg back as he rises to his feet but then he is caught with a drop kick by Pablo.
Mystery Man: Stitches is definitely not having fun out there and you can see it from his body language. Usually he is more… in control in his matches, but in this one, he is not quite comfortably
Hank: Of course, he’s not, he hates ladder matches, in fact to put it blatantly he doesn’t -bleep- with them
FBI: It’s worth noting that he did win the one against Nevaeh, Sarah Lacklan and Criss Cassidy.
Mystery Man: That he did, which proves he does have a chance, but he will first have to overcome the discomfort of competing in it
El Pablo heads back into the ring and finds Honey waking from the punishment he gave her earlier. He reaches over her shoulder to grab her but she catches his hand, twists it and catches the man behind and nails him with the Hunted Down (German Suplex), this time executing it perfectly and falling flat on the mat herself.
Mystery Man: All three athletes are down, this has been one hell of a contest
Hank: That it has, these three have given it everything whatsoever.
Stitches is the first man to react, he finds his feet and then crawls into the ring, battered and weakened as his opponents are. He begins to climb up the ladder slowly, his weakened muscles don’t allow for much haste. In this time, Pablo finds himself on the other end of the ladder and climbing as well. Stitches is the first to get to the top but just as he reaches for the title he feels a spray of skittles across his face. Pablo in desperation had tossed a bunch of skittles into his face to delay him just enough for him to get there, and it worked. Behind Pablo is Honey Hunt also making her way up the ladder behind him.
Mystery Man: All three athletes are on the ladder!
Stitches and Pablo begin to trade blows at the top as they wobble both threatening to fall. The right-hand exchanges continue but just as Pablo looks to take the advantage, he feels Honey tug on his pants. He kicks her in the head and sends her falling back to the mat and somehow keeps enough concentration to duck a punch and then smash the champs head into the ladder. The hit sends the champ falling right down to the mat. Pablo unhooks the belt and wraps it around his waist.
DING DING DING!!!
Dobrev: Here’s your winner and the NEW Indy champion EL PABLO
Mystery Man: Skittles sales are going up! What an impressive victory.
Hanks: This one will stick with Stitches until 2018. He's been a great Champion for Prime, but the new era has now started as El Pablo shocks the Indy Circuit with a massive win here tonight
