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 #524 in Saitama.
Images of previous EWC Champions are shown, starting with the very first Champion Black Ninja, then moving onto Big Mac and Steve Bennett. Sped up footage then shows a special montage of Memphis Reigns, Shadow Man, Hirsh Valentine, Jesse Nunez, Hurricane Jeff, Moses Lake, James Chambers, BDC, Jay Cee, Stray, Gladiator, The Rev, Ruthann Hunter, Ashton Drake and then Xplode all with the EWC Championship.
Sped up footage again then takes us through to current Monday Night BRAWL Superstars: Emma Louise, Anthony Grunge, Rob Garcia, Griffin Hawkins, Marquee, Bishop Church, Mike McGuire, Iggy Swango, Ethan Alexander, D.J. Frank, Kendrick Kross, Happy, Joe Doe, Dominic Sanders, Maddox Ayres, Kennedy Matthews, and Kenneth Williams.
We then get a shot of the Champions of BRAWL:
Happy with the X-Division Championship
NSFW with the Tag Team Championships
Griffin Hawkins with the International Championship
and finally...
Candy with the Undisputed Championship
The opening pyros blast across the stage and here we go.

The cameras cut outside of FNB Stadium to where the staff parking lot and the lot where the wrestlers are being dropped off or parking in. there is a BRAWL staff member at the door checking members of the BRAWL roster in as they arrive.
Tlatoani Volando: Well that flight sucked...never again…
Nikki Dupree: You slept the entire time…
Tlatoani Volando: I know and I missed my free dinner, soda and peanuts...and then we land and wow…
Nikki Dupree: I know...Johannesburg is incredible...
Tlatoani Volando: Yeah...I have to say I’m a bit disappointed…
Nikki Dupree: Why is that Tlatoani…
Tlatoani Volando: I came all the way to Africa and never saw a lion or even a elephant…
Nikki Dupree: We are in Johannesburg stupid, a major city and capitol...not out in the desert on a safari…
Nikki looks at Tlatoani…
Nikki Dupree: You knew that Africa wasn’t all desert right...oh my god…
Tlatoani drops his head as they approach the door...Xavier Reid trailing behind them…
Nikki Dupree: Hello...I’m Nikki Dupree checking in with Xavier Reid and this idiot Tlatoani Volando…
She turns around and motions at Xavier Reid who has dropped his bag and pulled off his sweatpants and removed his shirt...shoves them both in his bag as he pulls out a roll of tape and then hands the bag to Tlatoani…
Xavier Reid: Yeah they are with me...let them in and Tlatoani take the bag to the locker room and both of you wait for me there…
Nikki Dupree: Wait for you there...Xavier you need to come with us…
Xavier Reid: Has Happy checked in yet…
The BRAWL staff member looks down at his paperwork…
Brawl Staff Member: Nope…
Xavier Reid: And this is the only door talent checks in at…
Brawl Staff Member: That is correct…
Xavier Reid: Then I am right where I need to be...you two go in and wait for me…
Nikki Dupree: Xavier no...you can’t wait here for Happy…
Tlatoani Volando: Yeah I hate to admit it but I agree with Nikki on this one cuz…
Xavier Reid: Noted...now go inside and I will meet up with you both...after…
Nikki Dupree: After...oh no...this match is scheduled to be inside this stadium...inside the ring...not out here in the parking lot…
Xavier Reid: Things change Nikki…
Xavier starts to tape his right hand…
Nikki Dupree: You are going to play right into his hands...think about it...where do you think he wants this match to be...inside a ring or out here in this parking lot…
Tlatoani raises his hand as if he’s in class and wants to answer the question...
Tlatoani Volando: Out here in the parking lot…
Nikki looks over at him as he lowers his hand and waits to see if she says he’s right but she snaps her head around to look at Xavier who rips the tape and starts on his left hand…
Nikki Dupree: Damn it Xavier...Happy is a fighter...be smart about this...the man wants this to be a brawl...he wants it violent and dirty and you are about to give him just that out here...come inside the stadium...go to that ring and make him wrestle you...make him step inside that ring where you are the better wrestler...not out here in the streets where he is king…
Xavier Reid: But that’s just it Nikki...out here he is king and when you want to dethrone a king and send a message to those he rules you do so on his battlefield...I put the seven in the main event fighting for the right to go to WrestleFest to face Happy for the X-Division on notice...whoever wins that match will face a fallen stand in champion...I want them to see first hand that I’m willing to stand out here and wait to face Happy on his terms...and to show them that even if they manage to beat Happy that I am the king of the X-Division…
Tlatoani Volando: That sounds all good Xavier but this man is a different animal and could leave you laying in this parking lot for dead...there goes your chance for the TV Title at Uprising...the G1 in Prime...it could all be taken from you and for what...pride…
Xavier Reid: One thing you are going to learn from me Tlatoani is that sometimes...you have to risking it all to prove one simple point...that you are better...and tonight Happy is coming here for a fight...to finish what we started in London...he wants a fight and damn it I’ll give him exactly what he wants...so time for you both to go...I need to do this alone…
Tlatoani looks at his cousin and nods...he grabs the arm of Nikki Dupree and leads her towards the door leaving Xavier Reid alone in the parking lot...waiting for Happy...
2018 RIVALRY CLASSICS MATCH
TAG TEAM HELL IN A CELL MATCH (NON-TITLE)
THE LIMIT
VS NSFW
VS NSFW
Aiello: Well, it appears as if Xavier Reid wants to ambush Happy on arrival!
Bennett: He's in for a rude awakening! Happy is one tough son-of-a-bitch! He'll take Xavier Reid to the woodshed.
Carter: Speaking of taking someone to the woodshed, it's time for our opener!
Aiello: Here we go! The 2018 season finale begins begins with the tag team feud that reignited that division this summer. The Limit made their debuts on the back of NSFW and tonight they dare them to even SURVIVE them!
Bennett: I hope these boys end these pathetic punks for good.
Carter: Of course you would.
Aiello: Not only that, they dare NSFW to survive them inside one of the most dangerous matches in our industry.
Bennett: That’s right. The Limit is gonna take NSFW to hell tonight.
Carter: Look how ominous the structure looks as it is being lowered.
Jessica Stroup starts off the night as the cage is completely lowered.
Stroup: The following match is a tag team match and it will be contested inside Hell in a Cell!
"No Limit" by G-Eazy hits on the speakers and the lights begin flashing throughout the arena. Ethan Alexander and D.J. Frank come walking out onto the stage to a loud chorus of boos. They both stand at the top of the ramp and mockingly gesture to the crowd.
The two begin walking towards the ring, cockily mocking the fans. D.J. grabs a fan's sign and tears it in half, tossing it into the crowd. He laughs and runs towards the ring.
Stroup: Introducing first ... from Detroit, Michigan... weighing in at a combined 565 pounds... THE LIMIT!
Ethan and DJ stop in front of the cell, chomping at the bit for their hated rivals.
Bennett: These two sons of bitches are ready!
Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion begins to play and the house lights flash along with the beat of the song.
Mike McGuire and Bishop Church step out onto the stage. Mike points out for Bishop various fan signs for them. Side by side, they make their way down to the ring.
Stroup: And their opponents, now on their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 400 pounds, THE EWC WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, Mike McGuire and Bishop Church, N ...S ...F ...W!
The Limit and NSFW are on a collision course as both charge each other from opposite sides of the ramp.
Aiello: I doubt anyone expected these two teams to observe decorum. There have been tables, and ambushes, and just bad blood between these four individuals. The Limit claims that NSFW are hypocrites.
Bennett: They are!
Carter: Oh come on! You heard The Limit’s pathetic sob story on how no one has paid attention to them their whole lives. That’s because they’re dicks! No other reason!
Aiello: I don’t know who is on the right here but one team intends to prove their point tonight!
NSFW has the high ground in this instance. Mike hefts her title belt into the air and smashes D.J. Frank in the face with it! Church opts for a quick but brutal clothesline. Mike directs traffic and Church helps her get Frank to his feet. They both whip him into the cell wall and crashes to the mat from the impact. Ethan is back up and swings Church around by the shoulder and levels him with a right hand. Mike fires back and kicks Ethan right in the balls - and it has no effect!
McGuire: What the fuck!?
Frank clubs her over the back and Ethan pats the cup in the crotch of his pants.
Alexander: Balls of steel, bitch!
Ethan’s partner then back suplexes her onto the thin padding that covers the outside of the ring. Church surprises Ethan Alexander behind with his dangerous sleeper hold but the numbers game is starting to sink in. D.J. breaks up the sleeper hold with ax handle smash over back. The hold loosens and Ethan is able to sit out and jack the jaw of Bishop Church. He stumbles backwards into a lifting reverse DDT from Frank!
Bennett: The Limit came prepared tonight! Fooled that little ball buster right out the gate!
Carter: These two guys are plague on this division. I haven’t seen them fight fairly once yet.
Aiello: NSFW knew exactly what they were getting into with The Limit.
Alexander: Open that door. Open that door while I get this bitch up!
Frank complies as Ethan grabs a handful of red hair and pulls Mike up. He dodges a wild right hand that would have knocked him out and drives a knee into her sternum. He shoves Mike shoulder first into the cell wall right near the door. Paul Turner, chain and padlock in hand, watches in horror as this match hasn’t even begun yet. Ethan presses the weight of his body against Mike and forces her hand into the open doorway. She struggles. Church is just getting to his feet…
Alexander: Close it! Now! NOW! NOW!!
Mike’s right hand is crushed as Frank slams the cell door on it! She falls to the mat writhing in agony expelling a long chain of profanities. Church, eyes afire, drives an elbow into the back of Frank’s head. Instead of continuing the assault, he kneels down to check on Mike.
Bennett: You dumb son-of-a-bitch!
This lapse in judgment allows Ethan Alexander to boot him across the face. The Limit then nod at each other and grab Church by a strap of his singlet and shove him head first into the cell area. Frank grabs the chain and padlock from Paul Turner and shoves him away. They enter the cage. Mike is on the outside as medical officials pour out from the back to check on her. But the fact remains, The Limit has locked themselves inside the cell with Bishop Church alone.
Bennett: Oh yeah, I’m loving this. 2018 marks the end of these two shitstains. I wish I hired The Limit but I give the future champ Dominic Sanders for finding the toughest sons-of-bitches in EWC today!
Carter: This is a damn handicap match now. And Mike …
Aiello: We’re not sure what happened to Mike but it looks like it is already swelling up. Broken, possibly? Who knows but the Limit has eliminated Mike McGuire from this match.
Josh Daniels begrudgingly calls for the bell as The Limit rolls Church under bottom rope. Ethan shoves the key to the lock down his pants.
Carter: Disgusting.
Aiello: Church, as a singles competitor was a former Television champion, but this is two on one and - this is just not his environment. I have a feeling we’re about to see a massacre.
Bennett: Isn’t it wonderful?
Carter: Damn, man...
Church gets a knee and pushes away an encroaching Ethan but gets kneed in the back by D.J. Bishop stumbles forward right into a powerbomb from Alexander.
Ethan puts a foot on Bishop’s chest.

Church gets his shoulder up.
Aiello: Ethan Alexander should know better to make covers like that.
Bennett: Mind games, boy.
Carter: Meanwhile, the medical staff are physically restraining Mike McGuire from getting closer to that cage. Don’t know how she’d get in anyway.
The Limit whips Bishop into the ropes and they’re looking for a huge double back body drop but Church telegraphs it. He kicks Frank in the sternum and then ducks a clothesline from Alexander. Church, a tinge of anger forming in his visage, scruffs Ethan by the back of his shirt and tosses him head first through the third and second ropes like a lawn dart! Ethan’s face hits the cell wall and he falls to the mat on the outside like a sack of potatoes!
Aiello: Holy hell!
Bennett: That dopey son-of-a-bitch could have hurt Ethan permanently.
Carter: Have you not been paying attention!?
Mike, against her will, finally disappeared from the back.
Aiello: Getting a preliminary assessment from backstage. The Limit has possibly broken Mike McGuire’s right hand.
Bennett: Good.
Carter: Fuck you, Bennett. You may not have hired these two Detroit morons but you sure hang off their nuts enough.
Bennett: What did you just say to me, boy.
Carter: You heard me. Do your damn job and actually call this match.
Church turns his attention back to Frank who fires a right hand at him. Church blocks it and irish whips Frank into the ropes. When he comes back, Church overhead belly to belly suplexes Frank across the ring. He covers one half of the Limit!

But the other half of The Limit boots Bishop off the top of Frank. Alexander helps Frank to his feet and the double teaming effort resumes.
Aiello: It was a good effort from Church but two on one is just too much. And when you factor in the violent tendencies of The Limit - this is a formality.
Bennett: I’m glad you see it my way, Joe. The Limit is the tag team of the future. Imagine it now. Dominic as the Undisputed Champion. Rob Garcia as X-Division champion. And the Limit. They’re gonna snatch the tag straps away from NSFW. America’s Most Hated is --
Carter: Enough already!
The Limit, look to each other with knowing smiles as they trap Church in a double facelock, and then spike him with The Driver!
Aiello: That double DDT has gotta be the exclamation point in this farce of a contest.
Here’s the cover!

Church’s shoulder shoots up just milliseconds away from the three count!!
The Limit stays calm through Church’s resolve. Ethan points to the rope and then up to the sky, signaling for a definite end to this bout.
Aiello: Bishop Church may have survived The Driver but Sky’s The Limit is a different matter. He has no help. Let’s just end this and get that cell up and get these disgraces out of here.
Bennett: A win’s a win, buddy.
Carter: Don’t count him out yet!
Aiello: I get your enthusiasm, Max, but …
Another whip into the rope … Ethan pops Church into the air and before D.J. can finish the combination off, Church crashes into him with a flying forearm smash. He lands on his feet but succumbs to a clothesline from behind by Ethan Alexander. Frustrated and now clearly angry, The Limit just begins to lay boots into Church as the crowd boos heavily.
Suddenly the crowd starts to cheer. Microphones pick up an engine revving.
Bennett: What the hell is that?
Like a bat of hell, Mike McGuire emerges onto the stage riding an ATV. She holds the steering wheel with left hand as her right hand has hastily bandaged. She stops up on the top of the ramp, revving the engine loudly to get The Limit and well, everyone’s attention.
Aiello: Gotta a feeling what she is about to do …
Mike hits the gas pedal and speeds down the ramp - right at the door to cell!!
The ATV acts like a ram and breaks down the door right out of its hinges!!
Carter: Holy shit!!!
Mike shielded from the impact fortunately spins the wheels on the mangled chain, then jumps over the steering wheel and uses the front of the ATV to leap over the top rope. She hits lefts on both members of The Limit before they can react.
But the reality of the situation sets in as Ethan kicks at Mike’s wounded right hand. Frank tries to cut off Church’s last ditch effort to help Mike with a big boot but the big man side steps the boot and tosses Frank over the top rope right into the wreckage of the ATV and cell! Ethan grabs Mike by the hair and hauls back his right hand to slug her right in the face but Church bum rushes him from the side. Mike kicks him in the stomach, doubling him over. And then with some anger behind it, he knees Alexander in the skull. Church covers Ethan by dropping his knee on his face…

Stroup: The winners of this match via pinfall, NSFW!!
Immediately after the bell, Church checks on Mike who holds her beaten up hand protectively. The cell begins to raise sans door. McGuire calls for microphone. Church retrieves it from Stroup and passes it over. Through gritted teeth and obvious pain, Mike makes a statement.
McGuire: We … have not only SURVIVED The Limit. We have BROKEN The Limit.
Mike drops the microphone right on Ethan’s face as NSFW departs the wreckage of this match. Medical officials split to check on both members of The Limit.
Aiello: I don’t know about breaking a tag team like The Limit but after months and months of torture and a brutal match tonight, NSFW finally scores a definite victory over one of the most dangerous teams I’ve ever seen.
Bennett: What a load of shit.
Carter: I admire Mike’s tenacity but one has to wonder, what will her condition be going into their upcoming title defense at WrestleFest next month.
Aiello: I think she’ll be game but we never know what the future holds. What I can tell is that the season finale of BRAWL has begun and we have an amazing night in store for you. Stay tuned!
Bennett: These two sons of bitches are ready!

McGuire: We … have not only SURVIVED The Limit. We have BROKEN The Limit.
Mike drops the microphone right on Ethan’s face as NSFW departs the wreckage of this match. Medical officials split to check on both members of The Limit.
Aiello: I don’t know about breaking a tag team like The Limit but after months and months of torture and a brutal match tonight, NSFW finally scores a definite victory over one of the most dangerous teams I’ve ever seen.
Bennett: What a load of shit.
Carter: I admire Mike’s tenacity but one has to wonder, what will her condition be going into their upcoming title defense at WrestleFest next month.
Aiello: I think she’ll be game but we never know what the future holds. What I can tell is that the season finale of BRAWL has begun and we have an amazing night in store for you. Stay tuned!

TAG TEAM TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
WINNERS FACE NSFW AT WRESTLEFEST FOR THE EWC TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
LOS AMANTES
VS MELON CLUB
VS PRESENT DAY GREATS
VS MELON CLUB
VS PRESENT DAY GREATS
Aiello: Welcome back, folks! Let’s decide who has a shot at NSFW at WrestleFest. That’s right, in just moments, three of our brightest tag teams will square off for a tag team title match at the final PPV of 2018! Let’s run it them down. You’ve got Los Amantes.
Bennett: Losers.
Carter: Liam and Romeo have been away for a little bit training for this huge opportunity and they promise that they’re ready to go.
Aiello: And the Melon Club.
Bennett: Fruits.
Carter: Anyway, Arya and Walter have been tearing it up on Prime but now they make their tag team debut for a huge chance here on BRAWL.
Carter: And the Present Day Greats have elected for their tag team specialists Volsung Death Squad.
Bennett: Fat.
Carter: Tim and Bull have been chomping at the bit to get into action. Just two nights from now they’ll take on FSW veterans The Syndicate. Will they have a tag title shot in tow?
Stroup: The following match is for the triple threat number one contendership for the EWC World Tag Team Championships!
The arena goes dark until a lone red spotlight hits the stage where Liam is standing with an electric guitar. The short drum rift hits and Liam begins to play Santana's Smooth, singing out the lyrics until the first chorus hits and the red light bathes the arena as Romeo struts out onto stage, throwing his arms out as he strikes a pose a moment before quickly joined by a group of five scantily clad beautiful women. The group flock around Romeo, moving to the music as they all head down the ramp to the ring. Liam follows as he continues to play and sing.
Stroup: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 342 pounds, Liam Mason, Romeo Don Juan, Los Amantes!
Reaching the ring, Romeo heads up the steps and in through the ropes first before picking one of the lucky ladies to join him inside. Liam heads up the steps and enters the ring with the guitar. Romeo and the woman dance to the music until it reaches the crest. Romeo dips her down and Liam suddenly raises the guitar, smashing it apart on the canvas and the song instantly cuts and the lights return to normal. Romeo drops the girl who rolls out of the ring and the other women help her back up the ramp.
Aiello: You’re right, Max. These two look well rested.
Bennett: Filthy perverts.
Carter: Let’s see if it translates into victory!
‘Fruit Salad’ by the Wiggles plays and out comes the Melon God worshippers. Arya and Walter pay little attention as they saunter down to the ring.
Stroup: Next, at a combined weight of 320 pounds, Arya and Walter Melon, THE MELON CLUB!
Aiello: Walter Melon looked impressive in his debut at the Rumble and he’s already qualified for the Prime G1. Arya joins her father to capture tag team gold at WrestleFest.
”No Hope in Sight” by Paradise fills the arena. The lights go dark, a sole spotlight focused on the stage. Together, the Völsung Death Squad - Tim Lovecraft and Bull Masterson - emerge on stage with Stephen Kingston in Tow.
Stroup: And finally, making their way to the ring accompanied by Stephen Kingston and at a combined weight of 592 pounds - they are “The Executioner” Tim Lovecraft and “The Raging” Bull Masterson! Völsung Death Squad!
Neither man wastes an ounce of energy or any time for that matter, and immediately descend the ramp and climb into the ring. The lights return to normal, and both men take to their corner to deliberate who’ll start the contest on their behalf while Stephen hangs around his clients' corner at ringside.
Aiello: Stephen Kingston has been hyping these guys for weeks now. Tim Lovecraft looked impressive at StableWars but now its time to see what Bull Masterson can do, too.
Referee Paul Turner sorts at all of the madness with all six competitors in the ring. Finally it looks like Bull and Romeo will be the ones starting this bout.
Aiello: Alright, real quick. Triple threat tag rules. Two people in the ring at once. Anyone can tag in anyone. First pinfall or submission wins the prize.
DING DING DING
As soon as the bell rings, Bull charges at Romeo and levels him with a huge shoulder tackle. The Melon Club watches intently from their corner in the ring conferring strategy. Bull drags Romeo by an arm to their corner and tags in Lovecraft. Masterson russian leg sweeps Romeo just as Lovecraft obliterates him with a lariat! Quick cover!

Arya darts in and kicks Lovecraft in the face, disrupting the cover.
Aiello: All three of these tag teams have a common bond. Volsung Death Squad have been teaming for a decade. Los Amantes are great friends and the Melon Club, father and daughter bonding time.
Bennett: Did you see how quickly that son of a bitch darted in the ring? It's like she teleported!?
Carter: And now she’s back with Walter.
Romeo pushes Lovecraft off of him and gets to his feet. He knocks Tim to the mat with a basement dropkick and then rushes over to the Los Amantes corner to tag in the Rascal. Romeo then jumps at Lovecraft … who catches him! But then Liam dropkicks his own partner on top of the bearded big man! Romeo rolls off of him and Liam does a double footed stomp on his chest and lays on top for the cover.

Lovecraft literally throws the smaller man off of top of him. Liam rolls over inadvertently to the Melon Club corner when Walter tags himself in by stomping on Liam.
Carter: What a strange way to tag.
Bennett: It was legal!
Aiello: That it was. The Melon Club has never been orthodox in their ways.
Walter Melon sizes up the beast of the man that is Tim Lovecraft and knocks him back to a knee with a big boot to the jaw. And then he drops him with a shortfall DDT. Walter tags in Arya Melon, she vaults up to the top rope … and then jumps on his shoulders and off of them with a body splash on Tim!

Lovecraft kicks out with ease but looks a little winded from the assault.
Aiello: Arya and Walter are very unique in their offense so far but I’m not sure how easy it will be to put down a huge man like Tim Lovecraft.
Bennett: Look at that sorry son of a bitch Kingston barking orders at those to bearded clowns.
Carter: He wants these two to get their head in the game!
Arya almost foolishingly tries to get Tim to his feet but he shoulders her into the VSD corner and tags in the Raging Bull Masterson. The two take turns hammering blows and ax handle smashes into the small woman before she stumbles out. Bull grabs her by the hair, spins around and levels her with a devastating headbutt. Arya Melon crumples to the mat from the impact. Bull looks to his partner Tim and smiles. They point at Los Amantes with signal that they’re next. Bull forces the daughter of the Melon Club to her feet and drives her back first into the Los Amantes corner. He slugs Romeo off the apron and grabs Liam by the arm and slaps his hand against Arya. And then he brings him in the hard way over the top rope. He then clotheslines Arya over the top rope!
Aiello: Wow. Just wow. Bull and Tim are forces of destruction in this match. I’m not sure anyone is going to stop them at this rate.
Liam tries to crawl away from Bull but he gets stopped with an elbow drop to the back. He drags Liam to his corner and tags in Lovecraft. Lovecraft immediately belly to belly suplexes The Rascal, tags back in Bull who perches on the top rope and drops a leg across the throat of the Rascal! He covers …

Walter Melon plays spoiler and breaks up the cover!
Carter: The Melon Club gets in the way once again! Volsung Death Squad nearly put away Los Amantes with Damocles!
Bennett: I’m starting to like these two.
Aiello: But I don’t think either of these teams do.
Tim tags back in Bull. Masterson pulls Liam to his feet and sizes him up to tear his head off with a lariat. He runs towards the ropes and Romeo on the apron catches him with a heart punch! Liam bounces off the ropes, not seeing the blind tag from Arya Melon, and with all of might knocks the monster Masterson off his feet with the Psychout!!
Carter: Los Amantes hits Masterson with the Love Rocket!! Oh my God, it’s over!!
Arya Melon dropkicks Romeo in the face before the count can even begin. Walter in the ring …
1
He dodges under a superkick from Romeo and it hits Tim Lovecraft!!

Walter Melon uppercuts Romeo over the top rope!
3!
DING DING DING
Stroup: The winners of this match and new number one contenders for the Tag Team Championships, The Melon Club!!
Walter raises his daughter’s hand in victory. Stephen Kingston seems to be chewing out the recovering Volsung Death Squad but they’re having none of it while Los Amantes looks distraught at having their huge victory stolen from them in the last second.
Aiello: Alright. NSFW has their challengers and its the ever dangerous Melon Club! Volsung Death Squad and Los Amantes looked amazing out there tonight but that's the nature of the triple threat match. When opportunity knocks, you have to open the door!
Carter: And tonight, Walter was the one who knocks.
Bennett: I’ll pray to the Melon Gods that these fruity sons of bitches take out NSFW!
We see the Melon Club continue to celebrate as we move to a commercial break.
SINGLES MATCH (NON-TITLE)
XAVIER REID
VS HAPPY
VS HAPPY
Aiello: Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve been looking forward to the next match since it was announced. There is some real heat on this one. Xavier Reid comes up from the land of the future to take on current X-Division Champion, Happy!
Bennett: These two sons-of-bitches couldn’t wait and beat the holy hell out of each other at an airport last week. I love it!
Carter: Both of these men just don’t see eye to eye.
Aiello: Alright, let’s take it to Jessica for the ring intro-
There is some dead air as Aiello seems to be listening to someone on his headset.
Aiello: Let’s get a camera in the back lot right now!
The feed violently cuts to another camera. The heavy pounding steps of the cameraman and shaking of the camera’s view indicate a rush to get to whatever is happening. There is a lot of incoherent shouting as the cameraman reaches a private lot containing rental and production vehicles. Two men seem to be the center of it.
Happy.
Xavier Reid.
Aiello: These two men are scheduled for a match. Someone stop this!
Bennett: Let em’ fight!
Carter: These two haven’t calmed down one bit!
Happy had just entered the arena via his motorcycle, most likely rental, and Reid had been waiting for him. The exchange of words is unintelligible for the most part. Lots of chest pointing and spittle flying and it seems to be escalating as every second passes. Reid steps past Happy with a running start, he kicks over Happy’s bike! From there, it only got worse. Happy scowled, spit on the ground and charged at Reid - who met him head on. Flurries of wild punches were thrown by both men.
Finally, an official runs onto the scene…
Carter: Alright, here’s Josh Daniels … wait where are the rest of the refs? You sent one guy to break up a fight!?
Aiello: Viewers, Jessica and I are getting a message from Victor Price. He likes how events have unfolded here.
Stroup: The following match is now a PARKING LOT BRAWL!
Bennett: Hell yeah!
Referee Daniels quickly informs the two on the winning conditions but they pay no mind to him. The bell rings as a formality.
DING DING DING
Both men, in street clothes, continue to batter each other in what resembles a fight in a hockey game. Happy manages to get Reid’s shirt over his head and then lands repeated blows to the midsection but Reid breaks free and kicks Happy right in the knee. He shoves him back first into front bumper of four door sedan. He runs forward but only for Happy to back body drop him into the windshield!
It caves in from the impact. Happy scrambles up onto the hood of the car and lays in more fist wherever they go but Reid wisely covers up his face. Happy goes to break the guard with a double sledge but Reid rolls further onto the roof of the car and Happy caves in the windshield further.
Aiello: I don’t know what to think of this. Happy and Reid don’t care that this is a match at all.
Bennett: Victor Price knows what the people want and they want blood!
Carter: You’re an animal, Bennett.
Bennett: Hey, wait a second … that’s my damn rental for the night! Get away from it you sons of bitches!
Reid kicks at Happy from the roof of the car. Happy shakes off the blows and climbs up and mounts Reid to lay in more punches. Reid grabs Happy by the neck and and they tumble off the roof onto the pavement. The fall separates both men. Happy is up first. He kicks at Reid, takes off his cut, and covers his hand before breaking the locked door and opening up from the inside. Whatever plans he had were cut off as Reid uses the distraction of the glass breaking to sneak up from behind and German Suplex Happy into the concrete. With the bridge, Daniels carefully goes to a knee to slap the pavement …

Instinctively, Happy kicks out!
Aiello: Who would have thought they would see a suplex in a parking lot tonight? Monday Night Brawl - always unpredictable!
Bennett: I didn’t pay for the insurance you bastards!
Carter: Sucks to be you, Bennett.
Reid sucking in breath rolls away Happy and crawls away to the open car. Glass crunching under his knees. He reaches in and releases the trunk.
Bennett: Get out of there! Don’t look in there!
Reid goes around the car and looks into the trunk…
Reid: What the fuck?
Happy clubs Reid over the back and shoves him backwards into a the side panel of a nearby van. Happy digs through the trunk. With little attention paid to it, he tosses out a blow up doll with short red hair and retrieves a nasty looking tire iron.
Aiello: You’ll have to come to terms on that, Bennett … what that was but right now Happy has evil intentions with that tire iron.
Bennett: I plead the fifth.
Carter: Not even in the right country for that!
Happy swings at Reid’s head and just misses! The tire iron literally gets stuck in the metal panel and Happy struggles to get it free. Reid levels Happy with a big boot to the jaw and then looks to the top of the van. He smiles, climbs up top, and defies gravity with X MARKS THE SPOT … RIGHT INTO HAPPY’S RAISED KNEES!! Reid rolls off his knees, clutching his ribs, and the camera catches as he spits up blood from that unsettling impact. Happy exhibits No Control whatsoever by tackling the hurt Reid and repeatedly headbutting the former FSW champion.
Reid is only able to get away when he jams both thumbs into Happy’s eyes.
Aiello: I’m not sure how much longer this fight will last. Reid and Happy are barely aware this is a match. I’m not even sure a three count will resolve much of anything.
Carter: Awfully quiet about this knockout brawl, Mr. Predator.
Bennett: …
Any other person would be compromised but Reid from his back latches onto Happy and X’s him out with his triangle choke. Happy at first struggles but the insanity that ensued was too much. The referee sees that Happy refused to submit but the choke does its job as Happy passes out.
DING DING DING
Stroup: The winner of this match via knockout, Xavier Reid!
Aiello: Wow. What a fight. I thought we were gonna see a murder here tonight. Reid manages to catch Happy slipping but this is far from over.
Bennett: It better be!
Carter: Reid doesn’t look like much of a winner.
Reid gets his hand raised but he looks groggy on his feet and much like happy. His exposed arms are cut up from the pieces of glass littering the pavement beneath them. Happy has managed to get to a knee and both combatants share a look. Happy lunges towards Reid only to be separated by a dozen security guards and officials.
Aiello: As we work to get these two in order, let's take it into another commercial break. Coming up next: Iggy Swango takes on Kenneth Williams in a match to determine the number one contender for Griffin Hawkins' International Championship! Don't go anywhere!
Fade to commercial break.

IGGY SWANGO
VS KENNETH WILLIAMS
VS KENNETH WILLIAMS
The camera pans over the crowd as the Season Finale of Monday Night BRAWL rages on. We settle in on the announce table where Joe Aiello, Max Carter, and Steve Bennet all sit.
Aiello: What a night it has been here in Johannesburg.
Carter: And we still have more action left like our next match to determine the number one contender to Griffin Hawkins and the International Title.
Bennett: Will you two shut up? It is bad enough I have to listen to these morons you all call fans.
We cut to the ring. “3’s & 7’s” by Queens of the Stone Age hits the arena as the lights dim low before strobing between red and the pitch blackness of the arena. Just as the loud guitar riffs echo throughout the arena the lights starts pulsing red and Iggy Swango emerges from behind the curtain as smog engulfs her. She stands at the top of the stage for a few moments as she nods her head to the rhythm of the music.
Stroup: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with the winner moving on to WrestleFest to compete for the International Championship! Introducing first... standing in at five feet seven inches tall, weighing in at one hundred and forty-five pounds, from San Francisco, California... Iggy Swango!!!
Iggy starts bouncing on the stage and rocking out with an air bass playing along with the music before making her way down the ramp. She throws the devil horns with her hands and sticks out her tongue taunting her fans as Red and Black confetti streamers come raining down from above on her way down to the ring. Iggy rolls under the bottom rope and pops up on her knees in the middle of the ring. She slowly stands her to her feet before raising her hands into the air."
Aiello: This is one woman who has made a name for herself here on BRAWL.
Bennett: Stop sucking up you lame-o!

The lights in the arena begin to dim as the countdown ends and the X-treme Tron springs into life with a shot of “The Human Highlight Reel” Kenneth Williams giving the camera a few playful winks.
The fans jump straight to their feet in cheer as "Shadowboxin" by the GZA & Method Man begins to play through the PA speakers. The familiar adlibs of Method Man accompanying the vinyl scratches of the classic "Shaolin vs. Lama" Kung-Fu movie echo throughout the arena as Kenneth Williams steps out onto the ramp.
Stroup: Her opponent... from Austin Texas, weighing in at two hundred and twenty five pounds.. he is The Human Highlight Reel, Yours Truly... KENNETH WILLIAMS!
Fire and pyro begin shooting out of the stage as Kenny stands at the ramp with a playful grin as he stands at a military rest with his head cocked to the side before taking off in a full sprint to the ring, making sure to slap hands of the fans on his way. He hops onto the outside of the turnbuckle before looking out into the crowd and delivering a vicious dab with a look of disgust on his face. He hops into the ring and prepares in his corner.
Aiello: This young up and comer has been amazing in his short time here. He was part of the reason Team Face won at StableWars. He is going to be a star.
Carter: He can be the one to push Griffin Hawkins to his limit.
Bennett: Shut up and watch the match.
DING DING DING
Williams and Swango stare each other down As the bell rings they lock up as a dueling "Let's Go Williams!" "Iggy Swango!" chant breaks out. Iggy irish whips Kenneth across the ring as he hits the ropes and bounces back. Iggy hits Williams with a spinning roundhouse kick. She smirks as she stays on the offensive. She grabs his leg and taunts feeling the fans' energy. She flips over top of Kenneth causing some pain to his leg as it snaps back. He writhes in pain as she continues to taunt.Aiello: Swango coming out with a full head of steam here.
Bennett: Full head of steam? She has done two moves you unctultured swine!
Back in the ring Swango taunts a bit more as Kenneth Williams uses the ropes to make it to his feet. They meet face to face again as they lock up a second time. Williams uses his strength and size advantage to overtake Swango. He locks in a hammerlock. Swango throws a couple back elbows but Williams lifts her up. Swango hits a bulldog on Williams but he lands on his feet jumping and hitting a pele kick to the back of the head of Swango. He stays on the offensive, heading to the corner, dragging Swango with him, he hits a split legged moonsault. He taunts as the crowd cheers.
Carter: A fire has been lit under Kenneth Williams.
Bennett: A fire would be lit under me too if some broad was whipping me in the ring.
Aiello: Some broad? That is Iggy Swango not just some random woman.
Bennett: Same difference.
We cut back to the ring where Swango makes it back to her feet. She runs at Williams but he catches her with a springboard crossbody. He goes for the pin.

NO!
Swango is able to get a foot on the ropes.
Carter: That was close!
Williams lifts Swango to her feet. She hits a European Uppercut which rocks Williams to his knees. She runs at him and hits a head scissors takedown. In the corner she backs off and runs at him attempting a running hip attack but Williams moves out of the way. Visibly hurting Swango limps back.

2018 RIVALRY CLASSICS MATCH
SINGLES MATCH
KENDRICK KROSS
VS RUTHANN HUNTER
VS RUTHANN HUNTER
Aiello: Welcome back to Monday Night BRAWL. Coming up next we've got an amazing treat for all of you!
Carter: That's right. Ruthann Hunter, who has been away from the ring for the better part of this year, is making her return for one night only to bid farewell to the faithful fans of the EWC!
Bennett: Normally, you'd expect something crass or sarcastic from me, but I will be respectful. Ruthann Hunter has paved the way for so many here in the EWC and she is a future hall-of-famer for sure! We wish her the best with her endeavors.
Carter: That WAS very nice, Steve.
Bennett: Of course! Plus, she's facing off with that pansy of a man Kendrick Kross, so I'm rooting for her to walk away smiling after a beatdown!
Aiello: And there it was. That's the Steve Bennett we all know. Let's take it to the ring.
Stroup: The following is a 2018 Rivalry Classics Match! Introducing first...
The arena lights go out as “Centuries” comes blasting over the speakers. The crowd is on their feet as they are chanting and screaming Ruthless Aggression's name. Ruthann comes out wearing her old school wrestling gear. It is a black leather jacket with her hair pulled back into a ponytail with a baseball cap on her head and wearing black gloves. She stands at the top as her theme music keeps playing. She turns around noticing Jaden and her son, Jason, now coming out on the stage also wearing a black leather jackets with her name written across the back in black and red letters and in jeans.
They all stand on the stage together as Ruthless Aggression walks down the ramp along with them side-by-side. Ruthann, Jaden, and Jason all stand on the outside of the apron together as one unit looking around at the fans. As they are cheering like crazy, Ruthann holds in tears as Jaden and Jason hold the ropes for her to step inside of the ring.
Ruthann looks around at the fans taking it all in once more. She can’t believe what is happening. As she waits for them to quiet down some, she brings the microphone to her lips as she looks out towards the crowd with Jason and Jaden standing inside of the ring with her.
Ruthless Aggression: On June 12 of this year, the next night after Brawl I had a press coverage to talk about my status with EWC around that time. I needed to step away from the ring because of some things that have been going on with me lately. I now know what to call this “injury” I have going on with me. Many doctors were thinking different things but now they all came to an agreement to what it is.
Ruthann takes in a deep breath as she places her hands on her hips. Jaden pats her on her back to give her encouragement to speak about it. As Jason just squeezes his mother hand a bit, she brings the microphone to her lips.
Ruthless Aggression: If you didn’t happen to see the press coverage where I let everyone know I have Cervical Spinal Stenosis. So that is why tonight will be my last active match for EWC for awhile. It has been advised to me by the doctors that I need to step away from the ring for good if I want to be able to walk or not face death.
Ruthann looks down a bit as she holds back tears as they are coming down her face.
Ruthless Aggression: Everyone, and this include you all my fans, know how much I love this business. When I made the choice to become a wrestler I wanted to follow in the steps of some of the best of this business. Everyone knows the one person who was on top of my list was the one and only Roddy Piper!
The crowd, in respect to the wrestling legend, starts to give him a shout out as Ruthann and Jason lower their head a bit in tears for this man. Ruthann lifts her head up as she speaks.
Ruthless Aggression: Roddy Piper was a man who came from nothing. He was a runway that made a name for himself. I felt I could fill his steps but he told me something one day that stuck with me always. He told me no matter how hard I try I will never fill his shoes but I will be able to make a name for myself and become something as great as him. I will form a road for others that he couldn't do himself. It was because he saw a lot of himself inside of me but also because he knew I loved to just prove people wrong. I always hated for people to tell me I couldn’t do something. I always was teased and told I was nothing. I always was teased and told my dream won’t come true. I always was teased and told I can’t talk what kind of wrestler are you. I showed them all how wrong they were.
Ruthann nods a bit looking down at her feet and then back out towards the crowd.
Ruthless Aggression: Roddy Piper placed a love and passion for this business within my bones... within my heart... within my mind that I will NEVER forget. I am standing here as a wrestler in front of every last person because of the fact that people believe in me. I just hope I have done the same thing for you all. I do not want you to EVER let anyone tell you because you are different, because you are a girl, or just because of your background the way you were raised... that you would become nothing. Tell them Ruthann was told the same thing and look at her now!”
Ruthann nods a bit wiping her tears some as she speaks.
Ruthless Aggression: I am standing here as a wrestler because of the fact you all have pushed me to become something I never thought I could do. I am standing here as a wrestler because of the fact I knew deep down I wasn’t going to let anything or anyone take away a dream that I love with everything inside of my body. It is all because you fans helped me to build that self-confidence I needed to keep going every day when I felt I just couldn’t anymore. You all have done that for me. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It not only you... but all the friends that have been on this road with me. Ronnie, Ace King, El Pablo, Shelley, Mark Storm, Kurt Newman, Metal Black, Shadow Man, Luke Wolfe, Michael Saint, Big Nasty and the King of EWC himself Jaden “Xplode” Hunter my husband!
Ruthann lets the crowd give a hand to all of the names she just mentioned with tears in her eyes. Looking over at Jaden as he smirks a bit as they chant The King "welcome back." Ruthann smirks along with him as she looks back out towards the crowd. She nods as the crowd just cheers a bit more for her.
Ruthless Aggression: Mac, a man who wanted to make a different kind of wrestling company for you all to enjoy. He wants to stand out among all these other companies out there. He did just that because, if it wasn’t for him, I truly do not think I would have came back to EWC. When I first ran here at EWC I was on a little brand called HCW where I didn’t do that well at all, but what kept EWC in the back of my mind when I left. If I truly want to step inside of the ring with the men I know of a place I could do that at. If it wasn’t for this company I don’t think I would have had the chance to ever face some of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Especially Ace King, El Pablo and Ronnie my boys from CZW.....Ace and El Pablo even thought it was just for a few moments at the first pay per view of this year. Just to be able to stand across you two inside of the ring and have a full on match with you Ronnie. It would be a moment I will NEVER forget. You guys say it will happen...we will make it happen and we did......Thank you for that!
She holds back tears as the crowd is chanting their names for a few. She gets herself together wiping them away.
Ruthless Aggression: Another great moment I had in this ring was facing this man standing inside of the ring with me. My husband Jaden. Jaden and I weren’t on good terms around that time but just being inside of that ring with him. It was amazing. It was magical because he also made a promise to me. You and I one day will get inside of that ring and tear it down. Even though I got my ass handed to me. I have to say it was one of the biggest moments of my life. You pushed me to another level in my wrestling that night and I didn't know it would set the path I formed after our match. Thank you for that!
Jaden placed a soft kiss on Ruthann’s lips as she then nods a bit placing some hair behind her ear.
Ruthless Aggression: Everybody would think the last best moment I had inside of this ring was to become the first woman ever to become the EWC Champion but it wasn’t. I became the Television Champion not once but twice. The reason is because I didn’t feel like a champion. People just believed I was champion because of Jaden and not only that. When I became champion the person who I faced was fired the next day. Mark Storm become a bit more of the face of the place and then there was me. So I felt that moment got ruined because of all the drama. Now when I won the Television Champion not once but twice there was nothing anyone could say this time around. There was no Jaden around. No drama. I walked down that ramp and put on some great matches with Kross, Sanders, and Church just to name a few for that title. We put on a show that will NEVER be forgotten and I want to thank you for that too!
Ruthann takes in a deep sighed as she gets serious.
Ruthless Aggression: Luke Wolfe.....
The crowd has a mixed reaction about him once his name is mentioned.
Ruthless Aggression: You and I still have unfinished business and one day you and I will place an end to our story. I will be happy to be the person you face in your last match. You let me know the day and time and I will be there.
Ruthann says this with a very serious look on her face as the crowd chants for it to happen down the road. She takes in a deep breath as she looks around a bit more.
Ruthless Aggression: Polly Pocket, Rebel, Trixie, Candy, Heaven, Shelley Silver, Metal Black, Alexis, Toni Gunn, Robina/Otaki, Maggie, Dixie, Mike McGuire, the sick and twisted Harlow Kinsley, Natalie, Jessica Black, Megan Gunn, Valora, and myself are on that list of females who have made history with this company by wearing titles that only men supposed to have around their waist.
Ruthann takes in a deep sigh as she starts talking really serious at this moment.
Ruthless Aggression: Sarah, Emma, Melody, Faith, Lexi, Brenna, Gabrielle, and Cheyenne are future champions in my eyes. They will be added to that list of women who show that we are just as great as the male wrestlers here in EWC. They have a place on some of the best matches I have seen since I have started in this company and most of these women are from FSW. So Prime, Brawl, and Rampage. Be ready because you are about to be hunted by these women so get ready!
Ruthann moves her head to side as she speaks very serious.
Ruthless Aggression: Since women wrestlers have arrived here at EWC we have shown we aren’t women wrestlers. We are wrestlers. We have show. we can put on great shows and it could be us against each other or us against another male. When they say there's a "revolution" going on around here. They need to sit back and watch EWC because it has been happening for years and it's happening now with our Prime and Undisputed Champion Candy.
Ruthann smirks a bit as she is very proud of what Candy has been doing as she looks right back at the crowd.
Ruthless Aggression: Candy, you are just as strong and capable to do the things just like any other person within this company. You have proven that by not only waving that banner for your brand Prime but have also been our Undisputed Champion placing both titles sometimes on the line the same night and coming out on top. I would like to say you have placed a path for many to follow just like some of the biggest legends of this company have done in the past. As a fan. As a fellow wrestler. As a legend. I would like to say thank you for doing just that.

I would like to say thank you for doing just that.
The crowd starts to give a hand to the Undisputed Champion Candy as Ruthann looks around the crowd as she brings the microphone one last time to her lips.
Ruthless Aggression: I have one more thing to say and then the match can get started. When I feel like my body is up for it. When I feel like I want to bust someone's head and watch the blood slowly drain out of them... when I feel like I just want to feel and have that rush of the crowd in my life once again. When I want to play the one time only card. I will play it. I am not going to say goodbye. Goodbye means forever. Goodbye means you never see anyone again. I am just going to say... This.....
Ruthann looks around with a grin on her face at the crowd.
Ruthless Aggression: ARE YOU READYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!?...... I know I am... I am Ruthless Aggression... Let the Blood flow......!
"Centuries" blasts on the speakers as she looks out towards the crowd once more before she kisses Jaden one more time before him and Jason walk towards the back. She starts to test the ropes as she waits for Kross' music to play for him to come out.
Aiello: What a strong, accurate statement from Ruthann Hunter!
Carter: That was amazing!
Bennett: Are you crying, Carter?!
Carter: No, but you are!
Bennett: Am not!
As Steve Bennett wipes a small tear from his eye, 'Seven Nation Army' hits the PA System. The lights flash red and white with each bass drum hit illuminating the stage briefly. When the snare comes in the rest of the lights come in to reveal Kendrick standing in the middle of the stage with a slight smile on his face. When the cymbals hit in as the words "leave it alone" are said red and white pyro shoot from the side of the stage as Kendrick proceeds down the ramp.
Stroup: And her opponent... From Chelsea, London, weighing at 215 Pounds....Kendrick KROSS!
Kendrick continues his way down the ramp slapping a few hands and with each cymbal strike the red lights brighten. As he reaches the end of the ramp he smiles and takes a left turn and walks up the steps, climbing in through the top and second ropes. He walks to the middle of the ring and looks out into the crowd. He walks over to Ruthann Hunter and gives her a big hug and thanks her. She nods at him and he steps away. His music fades and the referee calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
And with that bell Ruthann took an explosive start and sprinted into K2 with a nasty lariat that send him stumbling into the corner. Ruthann rushes towards K2 as he attempted to stand and floored him with a stinger splash! K2 stumbled from the corner onto one knee, giving Ruthann enough time to hook on the headlock and yank Kendrick up and over with a snap Suplex! Kendrick writhes around in pain on the canvas as Ruthann goes for the cover!

KICKOUT BY KENDRICK KROSS.
Aiello: Ruthann is starting off on fire in this one boys!
Bennett: She really gives a shit!
Ruthann drags Kendrick up with a headlock, but the ever-clever Kendrick hoists her onto his shoulders in a fireman’s carry for a display of power, before he drops her down onto a stiff knee to the temple! Ruthann is getting back up, Kendrick rushes the ropes and rebounds and lands a stiff, jaw breaking, European uppercut that rocks Ruthann. Kendrick drags her onto her knees and hits a roundhouse kick that connects square with Ruth’s jaw! Ruth looks out of it as Kendrick makes the cover!

KICKOUT BY RUTHANN HUNTER!
Carter: That kick would have knocked out and concussed most men twice Ruth’s size!
Bennett: She’s a tough sumbitch, I’ll give her that.
Kendrick doesn’t waste time and drag’s Ruthann up to her feet, before hitting a second European uppercut that sends Ruthann falling backwards into a corner… but Ruth uses some spring from the bottom rope to propel her towards Kendrick with a spear but Kendrick leapfrogs over! Ruth is trying to stand but Kendrick rushes and hits a dropkick to the base of her skull! Kendrick rolls her onto her back, grips her around the waist and then lifts, he deadlifts Ruthann up and into a belly-to-belly Suplex! Kendrick covers!
ON... STRONG KICKOUT FROM RUTHANN HUNTER!
Aiello: She didn’t even give a one count there!
Kendrick starts hammering away on Ruthann, but she finds a way to get to her feet! Kendrick fires a right-handed bomb towards Ruth but she ducks it while spinning and landing a heel kick right to Kendrick’s left knee! The knee buckles and Kendrick falls down on his ass, giving Ruthann enough time to spring off the ropes and rush into him with a punt kick that had enough force to rip his head off! Kendrick’s mouth begins to pour blood from a busted lip and possible lost teeth. Ruthann shrieks a warrior’s scream before kicking Kendrick again and rolling him onto his belly!
Carter: She might be looking for her trademarked, EAT THE MAT!
Ruthann was going for just that as she wrapped Kendrick right leg behind his left knee and snatched him up by his hair. She smiled before stomping down hard with her right leg sending Kendrick’s face right into the mat hard! Ruthann releases Kendrick’s legs before rushing the ropes in front of her, stepping up onto the top rope and moonsaults off onto Kendrick’s back! She goes for the cover!

KENDRICK ROLLS RUTHANN OFF OF HIM BEFORE GRABBING HER ARM AND SLIDING ON AN ARMBAR!!!
Aiello: What a reversal!
Ruthann looks like she might tap, Kendrick starts to really torque the arm… Ruthann is crawling towards the rope, almost there, YES, rope break. Kendrick rolls and then slowly stands… Ruthann begins using the ropes to pull herself up as Kendrick rushes at her hunched over and hits the Tramp Stamp! The Tramp Stamp! Ruthann’s head bounces off the mat with a sickening thud as her lifeless body rolls out of the ring onto the padded concrete outside. Kendrick looks with a disappointed disbelief as the ref starts counting, Kendrick’s fatigue has caught up to him and he just leans on the ropes.
Bennett: HAHA, Perfect! Nice little countout win is a great way to win Kendrick my boy! BULLSHIT! You coward! I hope you could smell my sarcasm!
Carter: Surely Kendrick wouldn’t accept a countout victory!
THREE!!!
FOUR!!!
FIVE!!!!!
Inside the ring Kendrick is starting to stir but at a snail's pace. Outside Ruthann is trying to stand but can’t find her footing!
SIX!!!!!!
SEVEN!!!!!!!
EIGHT!!!!!!!!
Ruthann is to her feet, Kendrick is reaching his hand out and YES, Kendrick helps Ruthann slide into the ring.
Carter: I knew he wouldn’t let it end like that, not this rivalry!
Aiello: The match continues!
Both competitors begin to catch their breath, Ruthann approaches Kendrick looking to hit another lariat but Kendrick drops and spins around before leaping and hitting the incoming Ruthann with a Pele Kick! Ruth falls to her knees but Kendrick drags her up and rolls her up in the center of the ring! Kendrick floats over and turns the roll-up into a deep cover!

KICKOUT BY RUTHANN!
Carter: What a match!
Kendrick can’t believe it as he looks at the ref, the ref insists it was only a two and then Ruthann leaps into action with her own roll-up!

KICKOUT BY KENDRICK KROSS!
Aiello: Neither competitor is getting the upper hand here tonight!
Ruthann smirks as she slowly gets to her feet. She helps Kendrick up and then drags him in for a second snap suplex! And another cover!

KICKOUT BY KENDRICK KROSS!
Ruthann slaps the canvas on that one, before dragging Kross up again, looking for another one.
Bennett: If the son of a bitch were smart he would have left her outside!
Kendrick goes deadweight preventing Ruthann from lifting him, Ruth begins to club down on him with forearms but Kendrick answers back with a stiff headbutt to Ruthann’s heart! Ruthann backs up stumbling for air before Kendrick hits a quick European uppercut! Ruthann topples over but doesn’t fall, Kendrick sees his chance and… YES HE HITS IT! A second Tramp Stamp! Ruthann’s face collides with the mat with even more force than the first one, and now she too is beginning to bleed. Kendrick drags her into the center of the ring before collapsing down on top of her in a cover.

DING DING DING
Stroup: Here is your winner... Kendrick Kross!Aiello: What a heartbreak for Ruthann Hunter.
Carter: She wanted so badly to go out on top, but it just wasn't meant to be tonight.
Bennett: I can't believe that sumbitch with a pixie cut just beat the legend on her last match. That's just one of those where you just lay down for the legend. Classless!
Carter: Far from it, Steve.
Kendrick shows his respect for Ruthann by standing and clapping for her. As she is ready to exit the ring, Jaden and Jason come back out to help her. Kendrick pulls the ropes apart to help her, as well. As she goes to the back, a "THANK YOU RUTHANN!" chant begins. As the chant echoes throughout FNB Stadium, we fade to commercial break.
SINGLES MATCH (NON-TITLES)
ROBINA HOOD
VS GRIFFIN HAWKINS
VS GRIFFIN HAWKINS
Aiello: Alright folks, are you ready for a championship showcase? International Champion Griffin Hawkins takes on FSW Champion Robina Hood.
Bennett: I thought it was Otaki.
Carter: Megan Treamon?
Aiello: I … look, it says Robina Hood right here. That’s who she is now. Anyway, interesting story going into this match. These two were captains to their respective brands and they were both eliminated very early on. Hawkins took it in stride. Hood was distraught - lashing out at her fellow FSW teammates. Couple that with the fact that Hood has vowed to appear at every season finale this week.
Carter: Yeah, last night she was in New York. She failed to qualify for the Prime G1 versus Killjoy Ito.
Bennett: Tommy Love has whooped that boy into shape!
Aiello: More on that in a minute, here’s Jessica with the introductions!
Stroup: The following match is a EWC Championship Showcase match and is scheduled for one fall!
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.
Stroup: First, from Sherwood Forest, the FSW Champion, ROBINA HOOD!!
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.
Aiello: So get this. Tonight she faces International Champion Griffin Hawkins. Wednesday Night at Uprising, she faces Robbie Raydar, a man that since returning has scored some major victories as of late and then finally Friday Night Rampage, she takes on United States Champion Ace King in a 2 out of 3 falls match. This young woman has a tough week ahead but she is wearing it like a badge of honor!
Carter: Some are saying that she is neglecting her duties as FSW champion but that is just a load of bullshit if you ask me. She is giving FSW some MAJOR exposure tonight!
Bennett: She did that last night when Ito knocked her ass out.
The spotlight shines on a young man who seems to be playing a guitar on stage. After playing a long interrupted solo...he strokes the guitar in one fell swoop, setting off the pyro's on stage! The lights come on to reveal Griffin Hawkins!
Stroup: And her opponent, residing now in Los Angeles, California and weighing in at 227 pounds, he is the EWC International Champion, Griffin Hawkins!
He has his guitar in hand as "Made In Hell" by Rob Halford blasts in. He walks down the ramp, carrying his guitar as he slaps hands with a few fans. Signs reading "Griffin Rocks!" and "EWC gets Metal!" are seen as he comes down the ramp. He sets his guitar by the steps and gets in the ring.
Aiello: Hawkins probably witnesses that Kenneth Williams will see him at Wrestlefest on December 17th. But he can’t look past the dangerous Robina Hood tonight. She is looking to get back in the right column in her season finale tour and Hawkins looks ripe for the picking.
Bennett: You thirsting after that blonde haired punk?
Carter: The hell are you rambling about, old man?
He then proceeds to get on the ropes, taking the belt off his waist and raises it in the air as the crowd cheers him on. Soon he gets off the ropes, taking off his denim vest with various band patches on it off and sets it out of the ring. He gets out of the ring and goes to the front row, putting his aviator sunglasses on a young fan.
With all of the pomp and circumstance out of the way - all that remains are the official standing between two of the strongest champions this company has ever seen.
Hawkins. Hood. They step to each other. Their heated exchange throughout this week coming to the forefront.
Paul Turner calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
The referee separates both champions.
And out of nowhere seemingly, Hawkins springs into action with the Shot in the Dark!!
Hood ducks under! Hawkins regains his balance and stops himself at the ropes when Hood tries to take the match early with the Grande Finale! Hawkins holds onto the ropes and Hood whiffs on the double knee backbreaker.
Both competitors retreat to opposite corners. Their piercing glares tell the story.
Aiello: Hawkins and Robina had the same idea. End this match early.
Bennett: That Bon Jovi rip off tried to steal it.
Carter: Steal what? It’s a legal move?
Things settle down. They circle each other - looking for another quick opening before locking up. Hawkins asserts his weight advantage and bends Hood backwards with an overhead wristlock.
Robina kips out of it, spins around Hawkins, and wrenches down on his arm. She pulls Hawkins in and stuns him with an european uppercut. Spinning heel kick to the gut. Robina whips Hawkins into the corner and charges in with a flying hip attack to the face! Hawkins falls down in the corner. Robina hikes up her skirt…
Bennett: Oh, baby!
Aiello: Um, what?
Carter: She is ...uh, alright.
Showing that she is just Too Cool, Robina backs is up and rubs her rear in Hawkins’ face!
Griffin finally shoves her away and rolls under the bottom rope and he does not look happy.
Bennett: How can you not like that!?
Carter: Maybe she had cabbage earlier.
Aiello: No no, Robina Hood knows exactly what she is doing. She is taking Hawkins out of the the mindset of winning this match.
Hood bounces off the rope and dives through the second and third rope right into Hawkins before he can recuperate! She kips up up and stomps on Hawkins’ chest.
Hood: Hawkins, you fucking muppet, I own you!
She grabs handfuls of Hawkins’ blonde locks and with a little bit of a struggle, she pulls him to his feet. Hawkins shoves her away. Hood fires back with backhand but Hawkins ducks under, kicks her in the gut and hits her with the Number One Stunner on the outside of the ring!
Aiello: You’ll notice that Paul Turner has not started to count these competitors out. Victor Price has demanded that there be a winner between these two champions tonight. Pinfall. Or submission.
Bennett: I’ve always loved Price. Doc Holliday would have ran it into the ground if it wasn’t for Price.
Carter: Holliday presented some of the best damn Brawls in history. Price has just used it for his personal playground.
Bennett: I’m telling Price you said that.
Aiello: Anyway, it’s good that both of these champs haven’t been counted out because this match would have over then.
Hawkins whips Hood shoulder first into the steel steps and then finally rolls her into the ring. He climbs up to the top rope and sees that Hood is in the drop zone.
Holy Diver!!
Hood gets her knees up and then rolls Hawkins up!

Hawkins breaks free!
Aiello: Robina was a second away from getting the duke!
Both competitors roll to their feet - they charge - Hawkins gets their first with a lariat, Hood ducks under and hits the ropes and ducks under a second lariat from Hawkins and then springboards off the other side and catches Griffin with a flying reverse elbow. Both are back up quickly but Hawkins is wobbly at the knees. Hood seizes the advantage and slaps him multiple times before him knocking him back first into a turnbuckle with backhand fist. She charges in and Hawkins catches her with a boot.
She tries a second time and Hawkins catches her with an elbow but the FSW champ is persistent, she goes in for a third time -- and Shot in the Dark ….NO, ROBINA DUCKS UNDER, RUNS UP THE ROPES, BACKFLIPS OVER Hawkins and catches him with a reverse DDT! She covers …

Hawkins kicks out! Robina slaps the mat in frustration.
Aiello: Last night, she had a grueling battle with Killjoy Ito. Tonight she is fighting the International Champion. You can see it starting to wear her down;
Carter: She isn’t a two time FSW champion for nothing, though. This is what EWC is about. If anyone can pull through its her.
Bennett: Screw em both.
Robina looks to end this one on a positive note for herself. She sneaks up behind Hawkins as he gets to his feet and goes to Deanimate him with the rear naked choke but Hawkins elbows and drops out of it. He turns around, dodges a spinning kick from Hood and levels her with SHOT IN THE DARK!
THIRD TIMES THE CHARM!

Stroup: The winner of this match via pinfall, GRIFFIN HAWKINS!
Aiello: The rock soldier outlasts the FSW champion tonight but boy was Robina Hood on his heels.
Bennett: Think she could do that … thing to me next?
Carter: Get bent, old man! Hawkins gets a huge victory going into his title defense against Kenneth Williams.
The crowd cuts to Kenneth in one of the cheap seats surrounded by fans. He stands up, slaps some high fives with fans. Hawkins raises his International Title in the air and Kenneth gives him a knowing smile as both stare each other down from a distance.
Aiello: Wrestlefest is shaping up to be amazing and it's only going to get better. Next up, seven wrestlers fight for shot at Happy’s X-Division championship. Our main event is next!

For a wounded man will shall say to his assailant
"If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven"
Such is the rule of honor"
Grizzly Duggan walks out to a large reaction of cheers. He looks dead ahead and makes his way to the ring, once inside he raises his hands high into the air.
Stroup: Introducing first... standing at 6'8", 385 pounds... Griiizzly Duuuggaaan!
As Grizzly's music fades, Shelley Silver walks out onto the stage with Sloane Cameron by her side as "I am the Fire" beings to play.
Stroup: From Seattle, Washington… She is the leader of the Raindrops… Shelley! Silver!
Shelley grins as she looks around and makes her way to the ring, high-fiving fans and stopping to take selfies with them before hopping up onto the ring apron. She wipes her feet off before stepping between the bottom and middle ropes. As the song fades out, she begins bouncing off of the ropes, preparing herself for the match. "I am the Fire" quiets down to make way for the next competitor. The lights dim in the arena with several purple beams of light turning on. "Courtesy Call" by Thousand Foot Krutch begins to play through the speakers.
"Hey-O, here comes the danger up in this club,
When we get started and we ain't gonna stop,
We gonna turn it out till it gets too hot,
Everybody sing..."
As 'hey-o' is said in the song and the music kicks in, Maddox Ayres runs out onto the stage to a loud pop from the crowd. He stands on the stage with a huge smirk on his face.
"I am not afraid,
of the storm that comes my way."
Maddox begins to make his way to the ring, interacting with the fans along the way. He spots a kid that's a fan of his leaning over the barricade and takes the shirt off his back and hands it to him. After doing so, he continues to make his way to the ring.
Stroup: Weighing in at 225 pounds... From Orlando, Florida... MADDOXXXXX AYYRRESSSS!
As his name is being announced, Maddox slides into the ring and immediately climbs to the top turnbuckle. He makes a finger gun and points it at the crowd with a huge smile on his face before jumping back down and waiting patiently for the rest of the entrants. "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk begins playing. Anthony Grunge walks down to the ring along with his publicist Myra Bennings and manager Johnny Sinclair. He has a confident look on his face. Looking determined to be in the spotlight in the EWC.
Stroup: From Hollywood, California... weighing in at 210 pounds... ANTHONY GRUNGE!
Anthony Grunge enters the ring and then climbs to the top turnbuckle. He then enters the middle of the ring and smirks, looking at the others who have entered so far. His music fades out as "Neo Geo" begins to play and Emma Louise dances through the curtain. She doesn't wave to the crowd as she walks to the ring.
Stroup: Next... from London, England... EMMA LOUISE!
She goes slipping feet first through the ropes like an envelope before laying suggestively over the top rope. The arena goes dark except for the fans' cell phones... 🎵I wear a mean dark pair of shades.. 🎵 plays throughout the arena and the crowd erupts in "boos!" The music hits and the lights come on! Rob Garcia is standing at the top of the stage with Jeff Noon at his side. Rob looks around at the crowd with a cocky grin upon his face. Rob slowly looks around at the crowd and then shakes his head in disgust as Jeff focuses on the ring. They start to walk towards the ring taking their time. Jeff Noon pulls a microphone out of his pocket.
Noon: Excuse me. Excuse me.
The fans begin booing louder as the music fades out and Noon and Garcia continue towards the ring.
Noon: This is a travesty. The fact that Rob Garcia is not the last one entering the ring is a travesty. In fact, EWC management decided that since we are in Joe Doe's hometown th...
The crowd erupts and begins a "JOE DOE! JOE DOE!" chant.
Noon: Yes. Him. They decided that he should enter last. We aren't okay with this.
Rob slides into the ring. Noon walks up the steps and enters through the ropes.
Noon: Now, we all know that the EWC is trying to hold Rob down. We've established that. But this is completely disrespectful to my friend. So the rest of you are on notice. When Rob wins this match, he's going to dismantle Happy at WrestleFest in order to make you all respect him.
Noon drops the microphone to a chorus of boos. The song "Three Little Birds" begins playing and the crowd erupts.
Stroup: And finally... FROM JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA...
Huge pop from the home crowd.
Stroup: Weighing in at 200 pounds... JOOOOOE DOOOOOE!
Joe Doe pops through the curtain. He is being carried by four locals on a golden throne atop a wooden platform. They walk slowly down the ramp and towards the ring as Joe waves to his home crowd. Once they reach the ring, Joe stands up from the throne on the platform and front-flips over the top rope and onto his feet in the ring. The crowd goes nuts as he stands there with his arms outstretched.
Aiello: Joe Doe is certainly the hometown favorite!
Bennett: The favorite to lose? Come on, Aiello. He ain't gonna do a damn thing!
The referees around ringside and in the ring check all of the competitors. Paul Turner takes the lead and calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
At the sound of the bell, Grizzly Duggan makes a run at Rob Garcia. Rob jumps through the ropes and out to the arena floor. He starts running around the ring as Duggan follows. Rob falls to his hands and knees and crawls underneath the ring.Aiello: What a coward!
Bennett: Bite your tongue! That man is no coward!
Grizzly grabs ahold of Rob’s foot and yanks him out from under the ring. Rob has a kendo stick in his hand. He turns over onto his back and swings the stick at Grizzly’s elbow. Grizzly releases his grip on Rob to shake his arm out. Rob gets up to his feet and goes on the attack with the kendo stick. Emma Louise and Joe Doe are slugging it out in the ring. Anthony Grunge and Maddox Ayres are over at the ropes grappling with each other. Shelley Silver stands back and laughs as she watches. She walks over and calmly dumps Ayres and Grunge over the top rope.
Carter: Looks as if Shelley Silver is going to sit back and let the other six do the dirty work.
Bennett: She’s a Hollywood star! It’s smart of her!
Grunge lands on top of Ayres, so he’s able to get to his feet first. He walks over and yanks the kendo stick out of Rob’s hand. Rob spins around.
Garcia: What the hell?! I was using…
Grunge cracks Rob across the temple with the stick, sending him to his knees. Grunge walks back over to Ayres and whacks him in the lower back with the kendo stick. He reaches down with the kendo stick and locks Ayres in the Crossface Chicken Wing with the aided pressure from the stick!
Aiello: Grunge has the Crossface Chicken Wing locked in!
Carter: But there are no submissions, Joe. I don’t know what he’s going to accomplish.
Bennett: You idiot. He’s wearing Ayres out! Duh, you dummy!
On the other side of things, Emma Louise is in the corner removing the protective covering from the turnbuckle. Joe Doe runs up behind her and shoves her sternum-first into the exposed turnbuckle. He hooks her up and hits a German Suplex in the center of the ring. He gets up to his feet as one referee begins to count for Emma. Outside the ring, Grizzly Duggan has Rob Garcia up and delivers a snake eyes onto the ring steps. Shelley Silver exits the ring and walks over to Duggan. The two decide to team up on Garcia. Both wrestlers begin laying the boots on Rob until Jeff Noon walks over and tries to get in the way to help his friend. Grizzly locks eyes with Jeff. Noon takes off running, much like Rob before. Amidst the distraction, Rob grabs Shelley by the ankles and pulls her feet out from underneath her. He puts her legs under his arms and slingshots her up and over the announce table, sending Aiello, Carter, and Bennett scattering for the moment.
Emma Louise is up to her feet at the five second mark. Joe Doe goes to toss her out of the ring, but Emma reverses and hip-tosses him over the top rope and to the floor. Grizzly catches up to Noon and grabs him by the collar. Jeff pleads with him not to do anything to him or he would sue Grizzly. Rob Garcia comes up from behind Grizzly and delivers a hard low-blow to the big man, sending him to his knees.
Grunge releases the Chicken Wing and tells the referee to start counting. Shelley Silver slowly starts to make her way out from behind the announce table. Garcia grabs a steel chair and cracks it across Duggan’s back. Joe Doe and Emma Louise slowly make their way up the ramp as they fight. They reach the top of the ramp and Joe Doe grabs Emma by the head and drives it into the base of the MacTron! He turns and raises his arms to the home crowd.
Aiello: Hello? Hello? Are we on?
Carter: I got you, Joe! Steve?
Steve Bennett stands there cheering Rob Garcia on as Rob delivers another hard chair shot to Grizzly’s back.
Aiello: Oh whatever, Max. Steve will rejoin us when he realizes he has a job to do.
As the referee’s count is at five on Maddox Ayres, Maddox begins to stir. Johnny Sinclair and Myra Bennings run over. Sinclair grabs Ayres’ arms and pins them down. Bennings pins down his feet. The referee stops counting. Grunge yells at the referee.
Grunge: No DQ! You have to count!
The referee reluctantly continues counting. Ayres fights to free himself from their grip.
8!
Ayres flails his legs, kicking free from Bennings.
9!
Aiello: This isn’t right! Maddox Ayres CAN get up, but they won’t let him!
Bennett: No disqualification! They can do whatever they want!
10!
Stroup: Maddox Ayres has been eliminated!
Sinclair lets go of Ayres, who pops up to his feet quickly. The three of them laugh at Ayres and wave “bye bye” as referees separate Ayres from the group. They slowly start to usher Ayres to the back as Grunge follows laughing at the top of the ramp. He watches as the referees take Ayres behind the curtain. Suddenly, Emma Louise spins Grunge around and nails him with the Girl Crush on the ramp! She gets up to her feet and walks over to Myra Bennings and gets in her face. Joe Doe sees Johnny Sinclair heading to help Grunge up and cuts Sinclair off. Joe Doe and Emma Louise hold Sinclair and Bennings at bay as the referee starts counting Anthony Grunge out.
Bennett: That’s not fair! They can’t keep them away from Grunge!
Carter: No disqualification! They can do whatever they want!
Bennett: You mealy-mouthed...
Aiello: Turnabout is fair play!
4!
Duggan has taken control of Garcia with the help of Shelley Silver. The three have spilled into the Johannesburg crowd. Silver and Grizzly lift Garcia up and deliver a double-suplex onto the concrete in the fan area. A referee begins counting Rob out as Grizzly turns his attention to Shelley. Up on the ramp, Sinclair tried to go through Joe Doe to get to Grunge. Grunge is starting to slowly stir.
8!
Doe grabs Sinclair by the collar and looks out into the crowd. The crowd cheers Joe Doe on and Doe nods his head and delivers a hard right to Sinclair!
9!
Grunge begins to slowly stir as Bennings yells around Emma to try and get him to his feet. But it’s too late.
10!
Stroup: Anthony Grunge has been eliminated!
Joe Doe and Emma Louise go back to fighting at the top of the stage as the referee ushers Grunge and his team out of the area. In the crowd, Grizzly is slowly dragging Shelley back towards the ring area. He dumps her over the guardrail and into the ringside area. Garcia gets to his feet at the referee’s six count and Jeff Noon grabs a fan’s water bottle and offers it to Rob. Rob breaks the seal and starts drinking the water as the two begin walking up the stairs and to the concession stand area.
Aiello: Now where are those two goofs going?
Bennett: The ReMnant does whatever the hell he wants to do!
Grizzly steps over the barricade and into the ringside area. He picks Shelley up onto his shoulder and runs towards the steel ringpost. She slips off of his back and shoved him face first into the post. She steps back and leans on the apron as the referee begins counting. At the top of the ramp, Joe Doe hits Emma Louise with a hard right hand. He grabs her by the head and runs towards the edge of the stage. He tosses her off and through a table down below!
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
Aiello: Joe Doe just destroyed Emma Louise!
Carter: She’s got to be out!
The crowd begins cheering for Joe Doe as he stands at the edge of the stage looking down at her. He looks out around the crowd and points down at her. The crowd cheers loudly. He shrugs his shoulders and turns around. He leaps off the stage and hits Dream Land on Emma Louise’s already prone body! The crowd goes nuts as the referee begins counting both wrestlers out!
Aiello: That wasn’t even necessary! He may have just put himself out with that move!
Carter: That was unbelievable!
Bennett: That was stupid!
2!
Grizzly Duggan is starting to get to his feet outside the ring at the count of five. Shelley Silver sees this and sprints around the ring to gain a head of steam. As she makes a full circle, she jumps and nails him with a Silver Bullet, smacking the back of Grizzly’s head right into the ring post! Grizzly drops to the floor and the referee begins counting again.
Aiello: It’s hard to keep up, guys. The action is everywhere!
Carter: Except for Rob Garcia. Who knows where that guy went…
At the ramp, the referee’s count is up to 8! Joe Doe grabs ahold of the barricade and slowly pulls himself to his feet.
Aiello: Joe Doe is up! How? I have no clue!
9!
Emma Louise has barely moved. She reaches up and grabs her forehead wondering where she is as the referee finishes her off.
10!
Stroup: Emma Louise has been eliminated!
Aiello: And we are down to four! Shelley Silver, Joe Doe, Grizzly Duggan, and the absent Rob Garcia!
Bennett: Absent or not, he’s still in this match and he’s winning the damn thing!
Joe Doe slowly begins to stumble over to the ramp. He stands there leaning on it to catch his breath. He crawls up and rolls onto the ramp. The referee at ringside is at “6!” for Grizzly Duggan! But Duggan is stirring. Shelley Silver sighs and reaches down at her leg and feels around. She lifts up the leg of her shorts and grabs a nightstick that was conveniently strapped to her thigh. On the ramp, Joe Doe is on his feet. The crowd erupts in boos. Joe turns around and is run over by… a popcorn cart! Rob Garcia nails Joe Doe with a popcorn cart and the food goes flying everywhere!
Carter: Go figure. A popcorn cart.
Bennett: BRILLIANT!
Rob laughs at Joe as the referee begins counting. He heads down towards the ring and sees Shelley pull out her nightstick. He stands back, as it to not dare get in her way. She swings the nightstick at Grizzly. Grizzly ducks and Shelley hits the ringpost. Grizzly pulls Shelley up into the air and delivers a hard chokeslam onto the ring apron!
Aiello: That hurts the spine just to watch!
Bennett: You can bet it hurt more for Silver.
Joe Doe is slowly up to his feet at the referee’s “7!” count. Grizzly sees Joe on his feet and starts walking up the ramp towards him. Garcia remains unseen, as he and Jeff peek over the top of the ring apron from across the ring.
Carter: Watch out Joe!
Grizzly sprints at Joe and delivers a shoulder tackle to the hometown hero. He bends over and picks up a handful of popcorn and shoves it into his mouth. Then he lifts Joe up off of the ramp and drags him up towards the stage area. He looks up at the MacTron and then down at Joe Doe in his hand. Grizzly lets out a roar and grabs Joe Doe into a gorilla press. He runs at the MacTron and throws Joe Doe into the screen of the MacTron! Doe bounces off, a few of the panels going pitch black. Doe falls from eight feet high and onto the steel ramp below. The referee begins his count.
Aiello: God damn! He just killed Joe Doe!
Bennett: You’re damn right he did!
The opportunistic Rob Garcia runs over and clotheslines Shelley Silver, who had just gotten to her feet on the outside. He picks her up off of the floor and goes for a suplex on the floor. Shelley blocks it with her leg and punches him in the stomach. He doubles over. Shelley grabs her nightstick and brings it down hard across his back. Garcia yells out in pain as he drops to the floor clutching his back. Silver walks away as the referee begins to count for Rob. At the top of the ramp, the referee’s count is at six. Joe Doe miraculously starts to stir. Grizzly sees this and looks around to figure out what to do. He sees Joe Doe’s heavy golden throne sitting on the side of the stage. He walks over to it and bends down. He lifts with all of his might and deadlifts the golden throne off of the ground.
Aiello: Look at the strength of grizzly Duggan!
Carter: He’s a very impressive human specimen!
Grizzly slowly walks the throne over towards Joe Doe. As Joe is trying to get up, Grizzly sets the throne down and then begins to tip it over. He tips it over with all of its weight crashing down on top of Joe Doe’s chest. Joe writhes around trying to get out from underneath the throne as the referee is up to “9!” Joe Doe is unable to get out from underneath the throne, however, and the referee finally gets to 10!
Stroup: Joe Doe has been eliminated!
The crowd begins to boo as their hometown hero is unable to stay in the match. Referees come over to help lift the throne off of Joe Doe. Joe gets up to his feet and waves to the crowd to a great reception before disappearing to the back.
Aiello: Valiant effort by the hometown Joe Doe tonight!
Bennett: Valiant is a fancy word for loser!
Garcia is up to his feet at ringside. Shelley Silver is in the ring. She looks out at Garcia and then back at Grizzly, who is making his way back to the ring. Grizzly grabs the top rope and steps back up onto the apron. He steps over the top rope and into the ring. He locks eyes with Shelley and then looks over at Rob.
Carter: Three wily vets in the match! Who is winning this one, guys?
Aiello: My money is on Grizzly Duggan. He’s so big. So powerful. Hard to see him losing.
Carter: I’ve got Shelley. She’s the most experienced one in that ring. She finds a way to pull it off.
Bennett: Do ya even need to ask me?
Carter: No, Steve. We do not.
Garcia grabs a chair from Jeff Noon and slides into the ring. He stands there with the chair in hand as Grizzly walks towards him. Garcia goes to swing the chair at Grizzly, but Grizzly punches the chair out of Garcia’s hand. Grizzly scoops Rob up onto his shoulder, looking for a Powerslam. Garcia slips off of Grizzly’s shoulder and shoves him into Shelley Silver’s direction. Shelley delivers a standing dropkick to Grizzly’s kneecap, dropping him down to a knee. She locks Grizzly up and drops him down with a double-arm DDT right onto the chair that Grizzly had knocked out of Rob’s hand! Rob is on the outside of the ring and he’s got…
Aiello: What… what is that?!
Bennett: Sure as hell looks like a taser to me!
Sure enough, Garcia has a taser in his hand as he slides into the ring. However, as he slides into the ring, Shelley Silver refuses to let Rob steal her thunder. She grabs Rob and hits him with a T-Bone suplex! Rob drops the taser and rolls out of the ring to the floor where Jeff Noon is. The referee is up to “3!” on Grizzly Duggan. Grizzly begins to get to his hands and feet. Shelley runs at him and dropkicks him in the side of the head, starting the count over as he crashes to the mat. Grizzly slowly gets to his hands and knees. Shelley picks the steel chair up and cracks it across the back of Grizzly’s head.
Aiello: No matter what she does, Grizzly Duggan gets up nearly immediately.
Bennett: Because he’s a big stupid bastard!
Carter: I don’t know what it’s going to take for Grizzly Duggan to stay down here!
Shelley stands by as the referee’s count is at “3!” again. She looks down on the mat and sees the taser that Rob dropped.
4!
Aiello: Surely she won’t…
Bennett: You bet your ass she will!
5!
As the count is halfway there, Grizzly is slowly stirring again. Shelley aims the taser at Grizzly’s ass and fires away, sending countless volts into his body!
6!
Aiello: Oh my God! She’s frying the monster among men!
7!
Silver drops the taser and watches as Duggan’s body goes limp on the mat. The referee checks and sees that Grizzly is still breathing.
8!
Rob Garcia slides into the ring and runs at Silver, clubbing her in the back of the head with a forearm. He picks her up off of the mat and hits her with Lights Out For Harambe!
9!
Aiello: We are one second away from being down to Rob Garcia and Shelley Silver!
Grizzly’s big body starts to stir as the effects of the tasing have started to wear off.
Carter: There’s no way!
Grizzly slowly pushes himself up off of the ground, but falls back down before he can get a foot in the ground.
10!
Stroup: Grizzly Duggan has been eliminated!
The other referee is counting Shelley Silver. She is at “4!” right now. Grizzly pounds a fist into the ground and growls as he gets to his feet.
Aiello: Uh oh. The big man looks very angry!
Grizzly looks over at Garcia, who has his back turned to Grizzly. He scoops Garcia up and delivers a huge running Powerslam! The crowd goes wild!
Carter: Grizzly is unhappy and taking it out on Garcia!
Bennett: Get that big idiot out of here! He’s eliminated!
Shelley is up to her feet and leaning against the ropes as she watches Grizzly bend down to pick Rob up again. He slings Rob over his shoulder. He’s about to hit another running Powerslam as he stops himself. He looks over and sees a limp Shelley. He walks over and grabs her, picks her up, and slings her up on top of Garcia.
Aiello: Don’t tell me he’s about to Powerslam both!
Sure enough, Grizzly takes the stacked bodies and sprints across the ring. He hits a running Powerslam that has so much impact that the three bodies puncture the surface of the ring and Grizzly drives both of them straight to the arena floor through the ring!!!
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
Aiello: My God! Grizzly Duggan just slammed both Rob Garcia and Shelley Silver through the ring! All three are down! And the referee is counting!
3!
A hand is seen pulling themselves up. We see Grizzly Duggan pop up from the hole. Grizzly rolls out of the hole and into the ring. He rolls under the bottom rope and begins walking up the ramp.
4!
Carter: No sign of Shelley Silver or Rob Garcia! This one may end in a draw!
Aiello: Sure thing. Grizzly Duggan drove them straight into hell!
Bennett: You guys know the ReMnant! He ain’t gonna lose!
6!
Suddenly we see another hand pop out from under the ring.
Aiello: It’s Garcia! Rob Garcia is up!
Bennett: Of course he is!
Carter: Shelley Silver took the brunt of that. She not only hit the stadium floor, but she had Rob Garcia AND Grizzly Duggan land on top of her!
7!
Garcia’s head pops up out of the hole. His eyes are closed and he appears to be completely out of it. The referee looks into the hole and sees Garcia’s feet on the floor. Referee Paul Turner clears Garcia.
8!
Aiello: Shelley Silver has two seconds to answer the count or Rob Garcia wins!
Carter: Where did Jeff Noon go? I just noticed he’s gone, guys.
Bennett: Warming up the car. The fans will be ambushing the winner, Rob Garcia, the moment this thing is over!
9!
Still no sign of Shelley Silver. The referee looks around once more before finishing it off.
10!
DING DING DING
Stroup: Here is your winner... and new number one contender to the EWC X-Division Championship... ROB GARCIA!The crowd goes nuts with boos as Rob "stands" there victorious. Suddenly, we see Jeff Noon pop out of the hole with his arms around Rob's waist.
Aiello: The sneaky bastard! Jeff Noon must have snuck underneath the ring and was holding Garcia up while, presumably, keeping Shelley Silver from going anywhere!
Bennett: Smartest in the game!
Carter: Well regardless... Rob Garcia has done it. He will face Happy at WrestleFest!
Bennett: I damn well told you so! The ReMnant is on top again!
Carter: What a match!
Aiello: Well, folks. It's been a GREAT season! We've certainly seen many ups and downs this year, but this may very well be the best season Monday Night BRAWL...
Bennett: MONDAT NIGHT SLAM!
Aiello: .... has ever seen! I'm Joe Aiello for Steve Bennett and Max Carter! Good night, and we will see you in 2019!
The scene fades to black.
