MATCH #1
BRETT KENNEDY
VS OPHELIA "WIDOW" BLAQUE-DONNLEY
» SINGLES MATCH «
» 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT «
» REF: MIKE MICHAELSON «

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles match is set for one fall and has a twenty minute time limit. Introducing first.

'Welcome to the World... of Kennedy' starts blasting the stage, and the entire arena cuts to pitch black, as 'I Don't Care' starts playing. Nothing happens for about 4 seconds, before a spotlight opens on a man, walking backwards to the front of the stage, arms spread out. Once he turns around to face the ring, the lights brighten up to a green/gold mixture of lights.

Chriqui: 'Coming down the aisle, residing in Asheville, North Carolina... weighing 259 pounds... He is among many nicknames, most known as 'The Bridge City A**hole', BRETT.... KENNEDY!

Kennedy starts walking down the ramp in a slow manner, finding quick insults to throw at the crowd, and starts throwing hand gestures at them. He pauses at the more ugly looking people in the front row to further ridicule them. Any signs showing up in front of them is seen, and scoffed at most of the time.

Kennedy proceeds to walk to the ring steps, and takes a look around the arena, probably thinking of how ugly some of them are, or seeing who the next girl he'll flirt with will be. Kennedy then goes up the second rope outside the ring, a la Seth Rollins or CM Punk, and immediately spreads his arms wide, and screams to the high heavens. He goes back down and enters the ring, takes center stage, and spreads his arms out once more, as the lights go back to normal.

Duggan: Brett Kennedy has been struggling as of late on the green brand, but after a shining performance at StrangleMania, one has to wonder if he’s about to become the comeback kid.

Martinez: Anything is possible Grizz, but Kennedy’s attitude has certainly not changed and I think there are many in the back hoping “Widow” feeds him his teeth

Loydson: Oh would you hush Omar, Kennedy says what has to be said. Look, I literally adore the Shieldmaidens more than I should probably say but Kennedy, he’s the entire package. This kid doesn’t give a single flying shit about who he’s in the ring with, he’s aiming to destory everyone. It’s kind of refreshing.

Chriqui: And his opponent..

The arena goes completely black. Appearing on the tron is the Shieldmaiden’s motto: “Hell is Empty and the Maidens are here.” Then what sounds like an old TV turning on comes over the PA system.

“Yes, the dangerous black widow is to be approached with caution, as the black widow’s bite can cause death.
The black widow is easily recognized by her coal black body and purple hourglass marking.
She encases her victims with silk and then kills with poison from her fangs.
The male spider is not considered to be dangerous..”

The music starts at the :44 mark. And a mixture of purple and white lights begin to flash around the arena.

“Dangerous, da-da-dangerous.
Dangerous, d-d-d-d-dangerous."

At the :52 mark, the music starts up full force.

“Hey Lady Killa, Come Right In.”

At this point a spotlight shines on the platform and shows Ophelia Donnelly, known as “Widow”. She’s dressed in a pair of black knee-high boots, black denim short and a dark purple Shieldmaidens midriff baring tank top. Her black and purple hair is hanging down her back in various braids and the right half of her face is painted with spider webs.

Moving in to stand behind and the the right of her is Robi "RJ" Mitchell while Sam "Titaness" Hamilton moves to the left and Aoife "Banshee" Maguire brings up the back .

“I-i-i-it’s time for you, let the show begin.
You’re so pretty, dripping sin.
I-I you feeling it? I-I you feeling it?
Your eyes are screaming, I take the stage.”

At this mark, Widow leads the group down the ramp to the ring.

“A-a-a-a-a A fatal dance, a primal rage.
You-you-you You pray for me, unlock the cage.
I-I you feeling it? I-I you feeling it?”

At the 1:37 mark, they reach the ring and Widow slides right on in while “RJ”, "Titaness" & “Banshee” go ‘round to either side of the ring. Widow moves to one of the corners and climbs up to the second and third buckles and raises her arms to a mixture of boos and cheers.

“I think you ready, you want a show?
You wanna hear me? G-g-g-good to go!
(kill, eat them all, kill, eat them all, ki-ki-kill, eat them all, ki-ki-ki-kill, eat them all)
I think you ready, you want a show?
You wanna hear me? G-g-g-good to go.”

She then moves to the turn diagonal from her. Once again, climbing onto the second and third buckles, spreads her arms out to her sides and sweeps from left to right.

“So here we are, make your move.
We’re going mad, I’ll help our groove.
(You want control.)
You want control, I disapprove.
I-I you feeling it? I-I you feeling it?”

She moves off these buckles and moves to the hard camera side and slipped between the top and mid ropes, her arms spread wide as she swept from left to right and then up once again.

“Love me ‘till you’re dead, you will not forget.
You’ll still love me, dead or alive.
(dead or alive, dead or alive)
Love me ‘till you’re dead, this is what you get.
You’ll still love me, dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive.
(The black widow is dangerous, dangerous, d-d-ddangrous, 12 times strength of steel, the black widow is dangerous will readily attack…)
(man had much to learn)”

As the music fades, she moves to the center of the ring, still facing the hard camera as she lifts a fist in the air.

Chriqui: From New Orleans’ Louisiana, she is Widow, OPHELIA “WIDOW” BLAQUE-DONNELY

Duggan: Ophelia made it clear while hyping up this match, she is aiming to prove to the pig-headed Kennedy that she and her sisters are a legitimate threat in any way possible.

Martinez: We’ll see, if the Maidens can accomplish their goals without cheating or attacking innocent people they might go far in the EWC.

Loydson: They do what needs to be done, and now hush Omar. I’ve been waiting all night for this.

Martinez: This is the first match tho…

Loydson: SHHHHHHHHH

Mike Michaelson enters the ring and checks both wrestlers for contraband before signaling the timekeeper and..

DING DING DING

A “fuck you Kennedy” chant has begun before either opponent can even do anything, Kennedy looks at the crowd with a smile and is caught off-guard with a low-dropkick to his left knee. Widow follows up with a sit-out jawbreaker before pulling Kennedy forward and dropping onto her back while flipping him into the center of the ring with her trademarked monkey flip! Kennedy almost can’t believe it but doesn’t get long to think as Widow lands a shining wizard behind his left ear!

Duggan: Widow is off to a hot start in this one!

Loydson: You could say hot again Duggan.

Widow goes for a DDT but Kennedy shoves her back, before standing up and launching towards Widow is a right hook that catches her in the jaw. The asshole pulls her up by her hair and begins to hammer down punches into her face, twice, three powerful jabs! Kennedy yanks Widow’s hair and sends her flying face first into the turnbuckles. Michaelson begins to scold Kennedy but Brett just laughs and rushes into Widow with a clothesline to the back of her head! Kennedy pulls Widow forward and drops her into a Saito suplex with a cover, Widow kicks out but Kennedy mounts her and begins raining down punches.

Martinez: It’s like a switch was flipped inside Kennedy’s head! He’s out of blood now!

Duggan: His over-cocky attitude put him in a bad place but his height and weight advantage are coming in handy big time right now.

Kennedy squeezed Widow’s face, possible looking for a submission, his thumb got too close to her mouth though and Widow bit down on her own cheek to bite Kennedy! Kennedy released the hold and Widow spits some blood into his face! Kennedy spins around to wipe his eye and Widow kicks him in the back of the leg, dropping Kennedy to his knees! It’s as though the blood has possessed Widow as she leaps to her feet and then instantly leaps towards Kennedy, driving her knees into his back and pulling him down into Widowmaker! Widow spins Kennedy over onto his stomach before repeatedly driving her face into the canvas! She spins him around and covers!

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

DING DING DING!!!

Chriqui: And the winner via pinfall at 15:05.. OPHELIA “WIDOW” BLAQUE-DONNLEY!

Duggan: Just as Kennedy flipped a switch, Widow flipped her own!

Martinez: Widow just bit her own cheek in order to bite Kennedy and break a hold! I have never seen that!

Loydson: A huge moment for the Widow, but take nothing from Kennedy. The kid made one mistake in this one.

Widow celebrates a little in the ring before smiling at Kennedy. She rolls out of the ring and heads to the back with her sisters. Kennedy wears a look of anger on his face as he wipes the blood/spit from his eyes, and then wipes his own now busted lip. We fade to...

MATCH #2
ALEXANDER SAMSON
VS JOSEPH "ORION" HUNTER
» SINGLES MATCH «
» 20 MINUTE MATCH «
» REF: PIERCE PATTERSON «

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is set for one fall and has a twenty minute time limit! Introducing first... from Dallas, Texas, weighing in at 249 pounds... Alexander Samson!

Slate Grey lights start floating around the arena as "The Radio" by Vince Gill suddenly begins to blare through the sound system. The crowd immediately jumps to their feet as Alexander Samson steps out with his wife Paula by his side. He waves toward the live audience as they start singing along with the song. Alex descends down the ramp with his wife. They greet fans in the front row and stop to take pictures with them. As they reach the bottom, Paula turns and walks up the steps as Alex slides into the ring. They rejoin together in the center of the ring. He kisses her before raising his arm high into the air.

Martinez: Alexander Samson's in a good mood tonight, it looks like. Not that I can blame him, with that pretty lady on his arm.

Loydson: Pretty mediocre, you mean! Though like attracts like, I guess.

Duggan: Alexander's got one Hell of an experience advantage, and that's gonna be the hardest thing for his opponent to overcome.

Chriqui: And his opponent... from New Orleans, Louisiana weighing in at 205 pounds, he is one of the members of the Chrome Dragons MC... Joseph 'Orion' Hunter!

As "Sick Of It" by Skillet starts up over the PA system, a fog appears at the top of the ramp. A silhouette can be seen from behind the thick smoke. It stays still before slowly raising its right hand high up into the air.

When the 0:31-0:32 mark hits ("No one can make this better./Take control, it's now or never." part of the song), a spotlight shines down and reveals the figure is Joseph "Orion" Hunter.

He walks confidently down the ramp, high-fiving some of the fans on the way down.

Like Sam, he tends to enter through the middle ropes, though he will occasionally step over the top every now and again. Typically when he's especially infuriated or eager, if not sometimes both.

He climbs up one of the turnbuckles, staring out at the crowd and re-raises his right fist high up into the air. Orion stays put, taking in the audience and their reactions before jumping down and handing the referee his Chrome Dragon vest.

Martinez: In sharp contrast to the good vibes that Alexander is putting off, Joseph looks frustrated... really, really frustrated.

Loydson: Of course he is! The kid didn't do half as well as he thought he was gonna do at StrangleMania, writing checks with his mouth that his ass couldn't cash!

Duggan: What will tell the tale here is how well he turns that frustration into something useful. That's the mark of a true competitor, being able to use your anger to hit harder.

The ref, already assigned, enters the ring and checks wrestlers for contraband before signaling the timekeeper and..

DING DING DING

Hunter rushes across as soon as the bell rings, aiming a big boot right for Samson's face. Samson dodges easily out of the way, but is surprised at the explosive opening. Hunter comes forward and launches a series of strikes. It starts with stiff right hands, but as soon as Samson adjusts for that, he launches elbow strikes, knife-edge chops, and forearm smashes, ending the flurry with a jumping knee strike that sends Samson back into the ropes. Hunter yanks Samson off the ropes with an Irish whip, which Samson reverses. Hunter bounces off the ropes, using the momentum to go for another big running attack, but Samson catches him and lifts, twisting with the momentum to drill Hunter with a spinebuster!

Martinez: Hunter had a head of steam going there, but all it took was a single move from Samson to make it vanish!

Duggan: It's just like I said. Turning anger into motivation is a lot harder than it seems since it can cloud your judgment.

Loydson: Yeah, yeah... next you're gonna tell me that this match is actually interesting when it's just a has-been and a never-was going through the motions. Someone wake me when this is over.

Samson spends the next few minutes mat wrestling, keeping Hunter grounded with side headlocks and chinlocks and armbars, frustrating him even further as he is unable to utilize any high impact moves from the mat. After a few minutes, Hunter is able to get enough energy and footing to force himself up to his feet. Samson wrenches the headlock he transitioned to as long as he can, but Hunter nails several stiff shots to the midsection to get separation, then charges the ropes. Samson tries to counter again, but Hunter slides under his legs as he reaches for the spinebuster, and as he pops up, Samson is whirling around and stepping into a Fireman's carry that Hunter throws up into the Thrill of the Hunt! Samson kicks out at two, despite the high impact, which does nothing for his composure. Hunter mounts Samson and wails on him with more elbow and forearm strikes, but Samson is able to shove him off. When Hunter charges to keep the advantage pressed, Samson takes his turn to counter under his legs, reaching up for an arm as he goes, going for a pumphandle to lead to his big DDT. Hunter flails and breaks free, but turns right into Samson's Alex Bomb, but that also only earns a two count.

Martinez: Every time Joseph starts regaining momentum, Alex has had an answer!

Loydson: Of course he has... because Joseph's been asking easy questions beyond dropping him on his neck. He should do that again and end everyone's misery!

Duggan: Judging by the fans' reaction, you're the only one that's miserable. This match could easily go either way!

Samson shoves Hunter away and gets back to his feet, looking to end things with his Belly-to-Back Sitout Facebuster. He grabs Hunter from behind as soon as he's up, but when he lifts Hunter up, Hunter springs to life, flipping over Samson and landing behind him! He immediately tries to end the match with his Burning Hammer, but Samson feels this coming and does his best to get out, including going limp and becoming dead weight for Hunter to have to lift.

Samson's attempts to sandbag Hunter confound him for several seconds, including a few elbows to the top of the head, but he screws his face up in anger, heaves Samson with a war cry, and plants him directly on the top of his head! After Samson's skull's True Strike against the canvas, the pinfall is academic.

ONE!

.
.
.

TWO!!

.
.
.

THREE!!!

DING DING DING!!!

Chriqui: And the winner via pinfall at 13:30 ... JOSEPH "ORION" HUNTER!

Martinez: It was not without its difficulties, but Joseph Hunter has claimed victory for the first time on RAMPAGE!

Loydson: When he beats someone impressive, then I'll be impressed. As it was, the way he struggled to overcome that geezer shows just how much that rook's got left to learn!

Duggan: No need to be disrespectful. Alexander Samson had a good accounting for himself, but tonight? Youth trumped experience!

The referee raises a relieved Hunter's hand as Samson's wife checks on him. The cameras cut to...

[FN'R]

MATCH #3
REGINALD DAMPSHAW III
VS ROBI "VALKRYIE" MITCHELL
» SINGLES MATCH «
» 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT «
» REF: PIERCE PATTERSON «

Chriqui: The following is scheduled for one-fall, with a 20 minute time limit…

The lights go out and the dark, technical music begins playing. "The Cracked King" Reginald Dampshaw III comes onto the titantron as the words begin in the song.

"And did those feet in ancient time 

Walk upon England's mountains green 

And was the holy lamb of God 

On England's pleasant pastures seen" 

Dampshaw slowly comes out, his eyes transfixed in front of him. He pays no mind to the audience, only to the ring. As he walks down the ramp, he quietly mutters to himself, though sometimes, every once in a while, he slips into his old, snobbish mannerisms.

"Bring me my Bow of burning gold 

Bring me my arrows of desire 

Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold 

Bring me my Chariot of fire" 

Reginald slowly enters the ring and walks over to a turnbuckle. He turns towards it and stands there looking down at the mat. He begins muttering to himself again and turns around to face the crowd. He then again slips into his usual mannerism and smirks, then raises one hand in the air and the other behind his back.

Chriqui: Introducing first, from Ryde, Isle of Wight, England, weighing in at 225 lbs… ‘The Cracked King’ Reginald Dampshaw III!

Duggan: Now Dampshaw came second in the US Championship Tournament, narrowly missing out to AC Thunder in the final… he’ll be looking to storm out of the gate tonight and show the world that’s nothing but a blip.

Martinez: Well he’s got the President of The Shieldmaidens in his way, this could well be a tricky one…

The cameras return to the arena, as it goes completely black and all you hear over the PA system was, “Oh, yo, yo!” then a small pause. On the tron appears the words: “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here.” Then the lyrics start.

"There’s just so much Goddamn weight on my shoulders;
All I’m try’na do is live my mother fucking life.
Supposed to be happy but I’m only getting colder.
Wear a smile on my face but there’s a demon inside.”

This repeats once more. And as the drums start, the lights in the arena start flashing with the beat. At the :25 mark, the music stops for a few moments. The lights go black once more. And 5 seconds later, the music kicks up again and the lights come on.

“Oh, yo, yo. There’s a demon inside!
Oh, yo, yo. Just like Jekyll and Hyde!
Oh, yo, yo. There’s a demon inside!
Oh, yo, yo. Just like Jekyll and Hyde!”

On the stage stands RJ Mitchell, carrying a baseball bat, with Ophelia "Widow" Blaque-Donnely to her back right, Sam "Titaness" Hamilton to her back left and Aoife "Banshee" Maguire right behind them. At the :50 mark there’s a few seconds pause then the music picks up again.

“There’s just so much goddamned weight on your shoulders;
That you can’t just live your mother fucking life.
The story’s getting old and my heart is getting colder.
I just wanna be Jekyll; but I’m always fighting Hyde.”

This is when RJ, "Widow", "Titaness" and "Banshee" start down the ramp toward the ring.

“You’ve got rocks in your head, I can hear them rollin’ ‘round.
You say that you’re above it, but you’re always fallin’ down.
Is there a method to your madness, is it all about pride?
Everyone I know, they’ve got a demon inside!”

As the last word was screamed out, Robi slides into the ring while "Widow" moves to the right side of the ring while "Titaness" and "Banshee" to the left side. Each taking a spot on all sides of the ring. Like a sultry dancer, RJ rises in the middle of the ring. And as she stands there posing towards the hard camera, the music begins to slow.

“Oh, yo, yo. All I’m try’na do is live my mother fucking life.
Oh, yo, yo. Wear a smile on my face; but there’s a demon inside.
Oh, yo, yo. All I’m try’na do is live my mother fucking life.
Oh, yo, yo. Wear a smile on my face; BUT THERE’S A DEMON INSIDE!!”

And she is facing the hard camera with a fist in the air.

Chriqui: And his opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing in at 130 lbs… Robi ‘RJ’ Mitchell!

Loydson: I’m so torn, on one hand the splendour of Dampshaw, on the other the brutality and dominance of Mitchell… this is going to be a hell of a context…

Duggan: Mitchell was a member of Team Rampage who of course came through with a historic draw against Brawl; she’ll be looking to prove she’s a winner tonight…

DING DING DING

This one is a battle of Dampshaw’s technical skill versus Mitchell’s speed and prowess. It’s also a match where the fans are torn about who they hate more – the Cracked King or the President of The Shieldmaidens! As we start it’s Dampshaw’s technical ability that comes out on top as he ties Mitchell up in a series of locks and holds, managing to convert some of them into big suplexes or DDTs to put the boss of the ‘Maidens down. Dampshaw scores an early two-count off of a bridging belly to back suplex, before he goes to end it early with the Golden Buster – only for Mitchell to knee her way free! For a few minutes after it’s all Mitchell as she runs rings around Dampshaw, using her quick feet for some well-placed kicks that rock the Cracked King. She almost scores the win with a roundhouse that looks to have knocked Dampshaw out, however he falls under the bottom rope stopping all hope of a pinfall. By the time Mitchell is able to drag him back into the ring Dampshaw is back in the game, and catches an attempted Freyja’s Kiss (Pele Kick) into an ankle lock! Mitchell writhes in pain for a minute or so before she’s able to twist herself around and instead wrap Dampshaw up in a small package – scoring a two count.

As the pair get to their feet following the small package an infuriated Dampshaw fires up and looks to end it there and then with a big clothesline to Mitchell, knocking her down. He hauls her up and sends her flying into the corner, before looking to follow it up with a huge running body splash into the turnbuckles – only for Mitchell to duck free and send Dampshaw crashing into the corner. As he stumbles out Mitchell spots her chance and leaps on the ropes, using them as a springboard into a moonsault tornado DDT – Maiden’s Mercy! She hooks the leg… one… two… three!

DING DING DING!!!

Chriqui: Here is your winner, via pinfall at the six minute mark, ROBI "RJ" MITCHELL!

Duggan: Mitchell scores a big win over Reginald Dampshaw, putting the Shieldmaidens’ stamp on Rampage…

Martinez: A huge win there for RJ, she’s gotta be pleased with that one, as will the rest of the ‘Maidens backstage.

RJ Mitchell gets booed loudly as she raises her hands in victory, waving sarcastically to each corner of the arena. Dampshaw rolls from the ring and heads to the back, shaking his head with annoyance…

Kendrick hadn’t appeared on FNR in who knows how long so just this appearance, was a rare one. It’s something that he personally would like to change though, FNR he wanted to be more of a commonplace for him than it currently is and it easily could be..would it though? That’s the question that needed answered, and would be right now because standing backstage was the man himself, Kendrick Kross.



Kendrick Kross: FNR! I gladly grace you with my presence. It is something that FNR has been needing for a while now. Now most of you might be wondering exactly why is Kendrick here? He’s not in a match. Which is correct I am not currently booked but you will be seeing much more of me in matches from here on out. Just thought I’d stop by.



Kendrick flashed a grin at the camera followed by a small chuckle.



Kendrick Kross: I have hardly wrestled on what some would call the B show of EWC. That might be a little bit harsh, it may not be as popular as BRAWL but we all know that it puts out good shows and good viewings every week...right? I didn’t exactly check my stats.


Kendrick takes a breath before continuing


Kendrick Kross: You see, the main reason I am here is to announce to FNR that they need to watch their backs because I will be making a more steady appearance here on FNR and anyone and everyone is on my list to take out. Especially one person in particular, the current top man of FNR, Ace King. He has a title I would like, but we can get to that later. Wouldn’t want to upset FNR Management or anyone else talking about their champion in a bad way. Just know this...FNR is about to feel a major shakeup in the name of Kendrick Kross. The landscape has changed. The overall mood will be changing and I, just like I have on BRAWL, will make my name known. Remember these words, because they will become true. This isn’t just a statement or a prophecy, I don’t have time for that type of silliness. This is a straight guarantee. I’m taking FNR by storm and there’s nothing anyone of you can do about it.



Kendrick lets out a small smile as the camera fades.

MATCH #4
"IRON" MIKE STRONG
VS OWENSBY SMITH
» X-DIVISION MATCH «
» 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT «
» REF: MIKE MICHAELSON «

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following X-Division match is set for one-fall and has a 30-minute time limit. Introducing first, from Nashua, New Hampshire and weighing in at 174 pounds... OWENSBY SMITH!

"Tonight" by Seether starts to play and a modest pyrotechnic show begins. Owensby Smith runs out on stage with his valet, Sara Michaels, in tow. Owensby hops, jumps, and skips down the ramp with a high-five for every fan along the way. He does a complete circle around the ring and heads back up the ramp to meet Sara. Her hand in his, the two head back down toward the ring. On the ring apron, now, Owensby climbs up on the turnbuckle, facing outward at the fans, and then back-flips into the ring. Punching the air and bouncing around like a kid hyped up on sugar, Owensby riles up the fans in preparation for his upcoming match.

Loydson: Here comes the rookie that almost cost Rampage the match at Stranglemania XIV. He's lucky Brett Kennedy was there to make things right. Still, the match should've been decisively won, but it's because of this man that the match ended in a draw instead.

Duggan: Give him a break, he put on a good performance. That match was pure pandemonium! It could have ended a thousand different ways.

Martinez: The important thing is that he's got the chance to redeem himself here tonight as he makes his official debut into the X-Division against the former X-Division number one contender. A win tonight could go a long way for Smith.

Chriqui: And his opponent, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 265 pounds... "IRON" MIKE STRONG!

The lights dim and the crowd grows silent. The sound of rivets tightening and metal grinding echoes through the arena. Then a slow beat of a drum begins to hit. The crowd claps along with the beat as a guitar strums, "Ironman" by Black Sabbath begins to play. The very familiar guitar sound as the lights begin to flash and spin it around the building, gold and white strobes flash atop the stage, as the words "STRONG" emblazoned on the tron as Mike Strong makes his way onto the ramp.

The song continues to play as Mike Strong begins the long walk down the ramp, taking in all of the excitement of the crowd as he marches down toward the ring. As he round the corner he high fives a few fans in the front row and scales the steel steps. Walking along the apron he turns around to look at the crowd, letting it all to soak in once more. Wiping his feet off on the apron he kicks his foot over the middle rope and climbs into the ring. Making his way across the ring and scales the turnbuckle throwing his hand into the air to a roar from the crowd.

Duggan: Mike Strong started off impressively with his career in EWC, but a loss here tonight will mark his third straight defeat here on Rampage. If he's going to build back his momentum, he needs to win tonight.

Martinez: Smith needs the win just as much. It could go either way, both men desperate to get their careers back on path.

Loydson: These two competitors are becoming known for dropping the ball when it really matters, but at least this time one of them HAS to walk away with a victory.

The referee, Mike Michaelson, enters the ring and...

DING DING DING

All manner of weaponry has been placed inside the ring and at ring-side for these two competitors to utilize in this X-Division match. Hardcore, anything goes. Smith charges toward Strong, but gets turned away with a stiff right hand. He recovers quickly and charges again, only to be struck again. Strong capitalizes with a Scoop Slam, slamming Smith on top of a chair. Smith rolls out of the ring to regain his composure, then slides back in. Smith and Strong trade blows back and forth until Smith gains the upper-hand and weakens Strong with a series of impressive moves. Sara slides Smith's baseball bat into the ring and Owensby goes to town on Mike Strong, hitting him in the back and on the legs, repeatedly. After tossing the bat aside, Smith rolls Strong onto his back and drops on top of him for the pin.

... 2 ...
Kickout!

Smith decides to go to the top turnbuckle for a Corkscrew Elbow Drop, but Strong rolls out of the way. Belly to Belly Suplex from Mike Strong. Mike follows up with two German Suplexes, but Smith flips over him before Mike can land the third. Owensby spins Mike around and delivers repeated uppercuts and a flurry of rights and lefts. He levels Strong with a Roundhouse Kick before making another pin attempt.

1...
...2...
Kickout!

Duggan: Smith's moving like he's possessed. He's really laying into Mike Strong.

Loydson: X-Division matches seem like a good fit for Smith. It's not like he has to worry about getting his face disfigured; he's already deformed-looking!

After a few more moves from Owensby, Strong is positioned in the corner with a chair pressed against his abdomen. Smith goes for the C 2 Shining C from the adjacent turnbuckle, but Strong nails him in the head with the steel chair when Smith jumps off! Strong hooks the leg, but before the referee can even start the count, Sara pulls Mike out of the ring! She quickly hightails it out of there before Mike can lay a finger on her. Mike rolls back into the ring and goes back to work on Owensby. He manages a few moves of his own, but as he looks to finish Smith off with an Iron Vise, Owensby claps him in the ears. Strong drops Owensby and stumbles back. HEAVY HEART FROM SMITH!

Duggan: Smart move on Owensby's part. Who knows what might've happened if Mike Strong locked in that Bearhug of his.

Martinez: He probably would've squeezed the fight right out of Smith and this match would be over.

Loydson: If only we could be so lucky.

Sara climbs up on the ring apron and calls Owensby over to her. She whispers something in his ear. Smith nods his head and turns his attention back to Mike Strong. On the outside of the ring, Sara's pulling a table out from underneath. She slides it into the ring. Owensby stops stomping on Mike Strong long enough to set the table up at an angle to one of the turnbuckles. Owensby drags Strong over to the corner and positions him on the top turnbuckle. Smith takes a few steps back to give himself a running start... He runs, jumps up, wraps his legs around Mike's neck and... HURRICANRANA! HURRICANRANA FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE THROUGH THE TABLE! The fans go crazy! Smith pulls Mike away from the wreckage and hooks the leg!

ONE!

DING DING DING!!!

Chriqui: And the winner, via pinfall, at 11:15... OWENSBY SMITH!

Martinez: Owensby Smith wins! With a fantastic finish, I might add.

Loydson: He got lucky. He had Sara there to coach him through it.

Duggan: Strong put up a fight, and for a while there it looked like it could've gone either way. Owensby's off to a good start in the X-Division. Let's wait and see what he can do moving forward. Could be he's got gold coming to him later on down the road! Wait a minute, somebody's coming down to the ring. Who the hell is that?

"Tonight" by Seether plays over the PA as Owensby Smith is joined in the ring by his girlfriend, Sara Michaels. She lifts his arm up and points at the victor. The fans give Smith a respectable round of applause for the show he and Mike Strong had just put on. But suddenly their cheers turn into jeers. Our cameras turn to see what they're jeering... A masked man is running down to the ring with a steel chair in hand! The intruder slides into the ring, but neither Sara nor Owensby have caught on to him yet. The man lifts the chair high into the air... TURN AROUND, GUYS! ... The masked man slams the chair against the back of Sara Michaels' head! OMG! What kind of sick son of a bitch would hit a woman in the back of the head with a steel chair?! She's not even a wrestler! Owensby turns around abruptly to see what's going on, but the masked attacker has fled the ringside area. Smith rolls out of the ring to give chase, but he has second thoughts. He turns and slides back into the ring to check on Sara. A mix of seething rage and worry for his girlfriend floods his face. Owensby calls for the EMTs to come down and check on Sara as our scene fades to...

ALEX "BULLET" CARBAJAL
VSHOPE DIAMOND
» SINGLES MATCH «
» 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT «
» REF: MIKE MICHAELSON «

Chriqui: The following is scheduled for one-fall, with a 30 minute time limit…

The lights dim and the Shieldmaidens motto “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here!” comes over the Tron as guitar stabs ring out. Concrete Blonde’s “God Is A Bullet” starts up in earnest and Robi Jean “RJ” Mitchell, Ophelia “Widow” Blaque-Donnely, Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton, Jackie “Bandit” Layton, “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire, Becca “Bruiser” Rogers, Wendy “Zombie” Stevens, Aoife “Banshee” Maguire and Lyall “Lyric” Allen walk out seemingly leading the way for their tenth sister. Alex “Bullet” Carbajal makes her way out in a full length boxing robe, ready for war. The Shieldmaidens make their way to the ring and Bullet steps in, starting to shadowbox the second she steps in. She raises her hands into the air and then nods, ready to go.

Chriqui: Introducing first, from New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing in at 135 lbs… Alex “Bullet” Carbajal!

Duggan: Alongside her Shieldmaiden sister Bandit she narrowly missed out on the briefcase in the pre-show tag match.

Loydson: Absolutely robbed if you ask me…

Martinez: Bullet is making her Rampage debut, she’ll be looking to put Stranglemania behind her and continue the Shieldmaiden’s march to success.

The intro of “Being Evil Has a Price” blasts out of the sound system. As the word “EVIL” appears in big sparkling letters on the titantron Hope appears on the top of the ramp and raises her arms to greet the booing fans with double rock horns. She mocks the fans ´reactions by placing her raised index fingers left and right of her temples, mimicking devils horns. Bursting into laughter Hope struts down the aisle. She´s in no particular hurry and takes her time to insult individual fans as she mocks their appearance, clothing or behavior. By the time she has climbed the stairs and turned around to lean into the turnbuckle Hope has usually made out one fan who is particular vocal and obvious in his dislike of Hope. She points out that fan and challenges him to come and have a match with her. Smirking in satisfaction to have silenced the loudmouth Hope steps through the robes and makes a show out of rolling her shoulders and cranking her neck to get ready for the upcoming match.

Chriqui: And her opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 160 lbs… Hope Diamond!

Loydson: Another strong female role model for us all to learn from…

Martinez: I mean, she’s famous for cheating and for publicity stunts regardless how depraved and ridiculous they are!

Duggan: And at Stranglemania she was interrupted by Luke Wolfe and ended up a victim of some blood mist, with the name Magdalena Lockheart written on the mat. She’ll surely have one eye on the ramp and the fans fearing another attack…

DING DING DING

As the match begins the two women stare one another down and trade insults, circling the ring round and round before they finally lock-up. Diamond takes the early advantage as Bullet catches her in a headlock which she quickly converts into a back suplex, before keeping Bullet down on the mat with some ground-based holds. She keeps Carbajal in a front facelock on the mat, delivering knees to her head, before rolling her into a rear naked choke. Carbajal tries to escape it as Diamond keeps her locked tight, however after a minute or so Bullet manages to fight her way to her feet, dropping down with a stunner to break the lock. Bullet then takes the dominance as she runs off the ropes and floors Diamond with a clothesline, before beginning her own assault of locks and holds, focusing on Diamond’s neck as she looks to set up her legtrap camel clutch finisher, Plata O Plomo. She continues her assault on Diamond’s neck with a big leg drop and a sleeper hold, before she hauls Diamond up and looks to drop her with a DDT – only for Diamond to counter it with some big strikes, followed by a dropkick to send Bullet back into the ropes. Diamond goes for a quick roll-up however she scores only a two before Carbajal gets back to her feet. The two women stare one another down before they each sprint at one another…

Martinez: Here we go!

As they run Diamond looks for an early shot at her Kanabo Kick enzuigiri – but Bullet ducks the leg and runs off the ropes, looking for her own Dios Es Una Bala rolling elbow! She spins at Diamond and throws the elbow – but Diamond dodges it and slams a knee into Bullet’s gut, winding her – before she connects with the Kanabo Kick! Hope Diamond drops down, hooking the...

Chriqui: Here is your winner, via pinfall at 19:35… HOPE DIAMOND!

Loydson: The unofficial member of the Rampage roster scores a win

Martinez: And emphatically over one of the Shieldmaidens…

Hope Diamond raises both arms in celebrating as Bullet climbs from the ring, joining her Shieldmaiden sisters on the ramp. The supergroup heads to the back as Diamond continues celebrating her win, getting boos from the fans.

MATCH #6
JACKIE "BANDIT" LAYTON
VS SARAH TWILIGHT
» SINGLES MATCH «
» 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT «
» REF: PIERCE PATTERSON «

Chriqui: The following is scheduled for one-fall, with a 30 minute time limit…

With the lights dimmed, the Shieldmaidens’ motto, “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here!” comes up on the Tron. The Real McKenzies’ “Pour Decisions” starts with its pounding drumming. As the song swings into the main riff, Jackie “Bandit” Layton comes almost skipping out, the other Shieldmaidens all following out behind her. They escort her to the ring, Bandit bouncing and skipping along as if she has not a care in the world. She slips into the ring and pops up onto the second turnbuckles, raising her hands in the air, welcoming the reaction from the crowd.

Chriqui: Introducing first, from New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing in at 120lbs… Jackie “Bandit” Layton!

Martinez: At Stranglemania Bandit teamed up with Bullet, narrowly missing out on the briefcase in that thrilling ladder match.

Duggan: We’ve already seen Alex Carbajal show us what she can do… let’s see what Layton is made of!

The lights go out as a spotlight centers on stage. Piano chords begin a haunting melody, accompanied by heavy drum beats. The crowd begins to boo MASSIVELY as the video wall displays the words THE ONLY ONE.

Chriqui: Making her way to the ring, hailing from Los Angeles, California, and weighing in at one hundred forty eight pounds, she is...."The Mistress of Mischief" SARAH TWILIGHT!

Pyros shoot up from both sides of the entrance ramp as our melody finally kicks into guitar. "The Only One" by Evanescence continues to play as Sarah finally walks out onto the stage. She is greeted with deafening boos and soaks them all in, as if she enjoyed the crowd's hatred. She arrogantly swaggers towards the ring, taking her time to revel in her own glory among ENRAGED fans before she reaches the ringsteps and steps inside. Pyros now shoot off from the ring posts and Sarah takes to each turnbuckle, staring coldly and without emotion into the sea of 'sheep' as the crowd's boos become even LOUDER.

Martinez: A warm welcome for Twilight here tonight…

Loydson: Jealous, the whole damn lot of them. JEALOUS!

DING DING DING

This one is a battle between the speedy Bandit and the methodical, technically-adept Twlight. As they start out Twilight takes the lead reversing an early attempt at the One-Armed Bandit DDT by hauling Bandit into the air, dropping her down with a big stalling suplex into an early two-count. Twilight continues the offensive with some measured strikes and holds, keeping Bandit down with a fujiawara armbar for a good minute or two, before finally Bandit manages to break her way free. Twilight continues trying to break the arm down throughout the early moment of the match, landing arm drags, driving a knee drop down onto the arm, and even straight-up stamping on the shoulder. As Twilight attempts a fisherman’s suplex Bandit manages to drive a knee down, and snaps back with a hard dropkick to send Twilight into the corner, following it up with her handspring back elbow – the Bust Card! She scores a close two before springing fully into action, firing back with a running crossbody, a hurricanrana, and a diving moonsault from the top rope. Bandit looks to be on top as she lands a brutal baseball slide to Twilight’s head, scoring another two-count, before she takes a moment to stretch out her pained arm. She turns back around as Twilight slowly gets to her feet…

Duggan: Layton is getting back into this one, but that arm seems to be bothering her!


Twilight stumbles up to her feet and turns around, right into Bandit’s grip! She tries for the One-Armed Bandit once again however Twilight headbutts her way free and swings a big kick to Bandit’s groin, stunning her briefly.

Loydson: You know what they call that punt? A c—

Martinez: PHILIP!

Loydson: … a cheating move. That’s what I was saying.

Twilight smirks and gestures to the fans, getting some heat from them before she spins and looks for a discus clothesline to drop Bandit. She hooks the Shieldmaiden’s arm up and sits her into a seated position, locking her into Spellbound, her figure-four armlock! Bandit tries to fight it off, but after a few seconds of her injured arm being targeted she can’t hold out any longer, and submits.

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Here is your winner, via submission at 21:25… SARAH TWILIGHT!

Loydson: Yes! It’s The Twilight Zone baby!

Duggan: Well Bandit’s gonna be annoyed about having to give that one up…

Sarah Twilight celebrates her win as Bandit slowly climbs from the ring, re-joining her Shieldmaiden sisters who commiserate her loss and check her arm out. Twilight continues parading around the ring…

Earlier In the Evening...

The feed cuts to the parking lot of the Prudential Center, and the crowd cheers as United States Champion Ace King is shown walking with a purpose, the championship resting as comfortably on his shoulder as it ever has. As he continues his walk, Rampage interviewer Brian Spade comes out from around a corner.

Brian Spade: Ace, everybody heard you ask AC Delaney to include the Shieldmaidens at ringside tonight against Samantha Hamilton in a Lumberjill setting. Now that you’re here, do you stand by your request?

‘The Gambler’ briefly stops and looks at Spade, a wry smirk on his face.

Ace King: I know you haven’t been around these parts very long, but something you’ll learn about me very quickly is that I’m not the type to mince words. If my hubris somehow gets the better of me, that’s a chance I’m willing to take… But the one thing I’ve always said is that I’ll never back down from a challenge. The Titaness is a formidable threat, there’s no disputing that, and if this does go down as I asked, strength in numbers could certainly be to her benefit. However, rarely have I been lacking in belief since I’ve been in EWC, and it’s gotten me to the point where I've been Friday Night Rampage's stalwart, so why would I back down now? Throw anything, or anyone, you want at me, and I’ll find a way through, and I’ll stop at nothing to prove that point again tonight. Bet On It.

With that, the United States Champion continues his purposeful walk into the building, leaving Spade in his wake as we cut to…

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following triple threat match is scheduled for one fall with a 60 minute time limit, per triple threat rules there are no DQs and no count outs.. The winner of this match moves on to a TBA #1 contendership match.. Introducing first..

The crowd ERUPTS as Annabelle's new theme "Halloween Triumphant" starts to rumble its beginning chords! The lights dim down as a flickering orange-ish hew fills the arena, as if it were filled with candles. Many fans hold up lighters in the crowd with the flames lit up! The camera pans around the arena for a good fifteen twenty seconds, getting a good shot of people in the crowd.

Chirqui: From Atlanta Georgia, weighing in at 110 pounds… she is... ANNABELLE!!!

Flames flicker on the stage, smoke starts to build as Annabelle slowly walks through the smoke somewhat covered in a shadow, the lights on stage rise up, and the fans is on their feet as she pears out into the crowd.



Making her way down the ramp, she caresses the face of a fan On her way to the ring, giving him a wink. Once at ringside, she slowly ascends the steps and into the ring, she walks over to the corner and takes a step on the second rope looking out into the crowd with a somewhat blank look on her face, quickly her ever familiar evil smirk appears as she screams along with the fans at ringside. Quickly her head snaps back locking eyes in a death stare with her opponent. She takes a few seconds and slowly steps down from the turnbuckle, her eyes never leaving that of her opponents.

Duggan: Annabelle has been on an absolute ROLL as of late. Going undefeated in singles matches since her return. And now she’s so close to bringing EWC Gold back to her family!

Martinez: Annabelle has played it straight up since her return, keeping things mostly by the rules and for that I commend her.

Loydson: Bleh, rules are lame! I want her back, killing everything in sight!

Chriqui: AND Her Opponent.. From the Windy City of Chicago, Illinois weighing in at two hundred and twenty eight pounds, he is CHI-TOWN'S FIIIIINEST....PHOENIX WINTTTTTERBORNNNN!

Pyros hit as the opening to "Robot Rock" by Daft Punk begins to play, as Phoenix steps out onto the stage, his head dipped down for the opening guitar riffs, and his hood pulled up on his head. Upon the high guitar, Phoenix stands straight up, throwing the hood back and revealing himself to the crowd to a round of cheers. Making his way down the ramp, his arms are outstretched as he walks backwards, taking in the moment before sliding face up into the ring to run of the opposite corner, and climb onto the second rope, slapping his chest to get the crowd fired up while his music slowly fades out.

Duggan: Winterborn has also been on a roll as of late, winning every match so far.

Martinez: Few can deny his skills, that’s for sure.

Loydson: kids decent, but could go far if he drops his goody-two-shoes act.

Chriqui: And his opponent..

A low idling of a motorcycle engine can be heard as the opening piano can be heard. Stevens is kneeling in silhouetted shadow, a hood over her head, Lexa Pellegrini standing behind her as smoke wisps along the entrance ramp.

Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken
And the violence causes silence, who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their drones
In your head, in your head, they are crying


WHAT'S IN YOUR HEAD?!?!?!?!?!


At the instant the word 'Head' is sung, pyro goes off, Stevens kips up and pulls off the hood, a sadistic smile on her face that the camera picks up. She stops midway down the ramp, and looks around at the crowd before running down the ramp into the ring, and diving through the second and bottom ropes, rolling through the dive as she enters the ring, and lands on the opposite second and bottom ropes. She gets on the turnbuckles of each of the four corners, doing a finger formation of the letter M for her Shieldmaidens, as Lexa steps in the ring. Stevens jumps off the fourth corner, and takes her hood off and hands it to her, giving Lexa a small peck as she holds the ropes open for her to step out. Stevens then stands in the center of the ring, glaring up the ramp for her opponent.

Chriqui: From Manhattan, New York… She is the Zombie… Wendy Zombie Stevens!

Toyo Yasahiro enters the ring, checks the competitors and then signals...

DING DING DING

Zombie rushes towards Winterborn, slamming into him with a running knife edge chop that sounds like a gunshot, even against his clothed chest. He falls back into his corner, heaving for air as Zombie pulls him out and drops him with a DDT. Zombie doesn’t get a chance to hit another move though as she’s quickly pulled back into a reverse DDT by Annabelle! Annabelle attempts a cover but Phoenix breaks it up. Phoenix drags Annabelle and with a huge Irish-Whip sends her over the top rope to the outside.

Duggan: Winterborn has come alive!

Winterborn drags Zombie up before knocking her on her butt with a spinning backfist, before she can react Phoenix drags her up into a suplex that spins around into a Falcon Arrow, he’s got the cover but releases to quickly rush to a corner. Phoenix climbs the corner and leaps towards Zombie, dropping his leg right on her throat! The crowd goes wild! Phoenix’s joy isn’t long lasted though, as Annabelle rushes into the ring and breaks a kendo stick over his head! Dear God!

Loydson: Beautiful!

Annabelle rolls Winterborn out of the way before dragging the zombie up and slamming her down with an impact DDT. Annabelle attempts a cover.

ONE!

T… KICKOUT BY ZOMBIE!

Annabelle smiles before turning her attention to Winterborn. She drags him up before hitting him with an impact DDT as well! Winterborn is busted open at this point. Annabelle laughs at the sight of his blood, but soon the broken kendo stick is being plunged into her head! Zombie is dragging the broken wood into Annabelle’s flesh, trying to maim her! Toyo is powerless, he can only watch.

Duggan: Holy shit!

Annabelle is bleeding purposely now, while Zombie laughs like a maniac. Zombie drags Annabelle up before twisting her and pulling her into a short-arm clothesline! Zombie attempts the pin but Winterborn is quick to break it up, although he can’t do much after that as he just lays there bleeding. Zombie smiles and goes for him but Annabelle trips her up! Annabelle is quick, almost too fast to see as she rolls Zombie up!


ONE!

… KICKOUT BY ZOMBIE!

Annabelle can’t believe it, but she is on her feet pretty quickly. Annabelle stumbles backwards before turning towards her corner. She’s in the corner about thirty seconds while Zombie tries to find her footing again. Zombie is up and coming towards Annabelle, Annabelle spins and BLOOD MIST! Zombie stumbles backwards before tripping over Phoenix, and falling backwards into a corner, hitting the back of her head hard against the turnbuckle!

Martinez: Normally I’d say that’s cheating but with no rules here, you had to have known Annabelle was going to use it!

Annabelle quickly drags Phoenix out of the way, before leaping onto Zombie with a deadweight cover!

ONE!

.
.
.

TWO!!

Duggan: Annabelle has done it! She’s moving on to a number one contendership match!

Loydson: Big win.

Chriqui: The winner of tonight's match via pinfall at forty-one minutes.. ANNABELLE!

Doctors rush in to check on Phoenix and Zombie, both refuse help. Phoenix is able to stand by himself, although still bleeding badly. He makes it to the ropes and pulls himself out. Zombie leans in a corner, glaring with rage. Annabelle exits the ring, snags a towel from the doc and wipes her head.

Loydson: Zombie will remember this folks. She’s gunning after Annabelle!

We fade to…

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles match is scheduled for one fall.. Introducing first..

Chriqui: Making her way to the ring weighing in at one hundred and forty-five pounds, she is one of the members of the Shieldmaidens MC. She is Samantha "The Titaness" Hamilton!

As the actual lyrics begin playing, the Titaness saunters down the ramp. A sense of determination and resolve can always be found in her eyes. Despite wearing a more stern and serious expression, she's not one to ignore any fans or supporters. Every now and again, she'll give a wave or slight smirk. More often than not, however, the Titaness will stick to her more serious and stoic look.

When she finally gets in front of the ropes, the Titaness will usually slip through the middle and top ropes. From time to time, however, she will opt to simply step over the top ropes.

Duggan: The Titaness had a huge debut last week and this week she’s got the chance to show out against one of the EWC’s best!

Martinez: Win or lose, The Titaness has nothing to lose and everything to gain here. I expect to see some fire from her!

Loydson: The GM booked a rook against “one of the best” because deep down she knows Ace needs rookies!

Chriqui: AND her Opponent..

"THE ACE OF SPADES!!! THE ACE OF SPADES!!!"

The crowd hears Lemmy's growl, and they go nuts as the opening bass line to 'Ace of Spades' rips through the arena. As the drums kick in, pyro goes off up and down the ramp in time with the beat, while frenetic red and gold spotlights pulse through the building before fixating on the ramp.

Chriqui: Making his way to the ring, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He is the EWC United States Champion... THE GAMBLER... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!

There's a huge explosion as the guitar kicks in, and the crowd roars as the one and only Ace King rises from a platform through the smoke of the pyro and into the spotlights, soaking in the ovation with his championship draped over his shoulder. 'The Gambler' stays on a knee, taking the title down to look at it for a few seconds. He takes a deep breath and walks to the ring, calmly interacting with fans all the way down the ramp.

He stops for a couple seconds at the end of the ramp, then charges to the ring, with gold pyro exploding from the turnbuckles as he dives in under the bottom rope. He spins up onto one knee and stares out into the crowd before getting to his feet and hoisting his championship up for all to see. Once he hands the belt to the referee, he gets his game face on while staring a hole through his opponent.

Duggan: There he is, coming off of a huge defence against Reginald at StrangleMania

Martinez: What a match that was!

Loydson: It wasn’t that good.

Toyo Yasahiro enters the ring, checks both competitors for contraband and then signals...

DING DING DING

Ace and Hamilton meet in the center of the ring before locking up in a tie-up, Ace pulls out of it and scoops Hamilton in a headlock but she quickly pulls Ace up onto her shoulders before dropping him down into a GTS! From there Samantha hit a spike DDT, before rolling Ace over onto his back and then hitting his leg with a DDT! Samantha dragged Ace up before kneeing him in his head. Ace came back with a quick European uppercut, followed by a huge clothesline. Ace covers!

… KICKOUT BY HAMILTON!

Duggan: Quite the back and forth so far.

Ace pulls Samanta up before sending her into corner with an Irish-Whip. Ace takes off towards her but she rushes out with a massive clothesline of her own! Ace is getting to his feet and is met with a knee to the temple. Samantha goes on the offense but Ace is sends a kick into her stomach before hitting a neckbreaker. Both are up in a jiffy, Hamilton dives into Ace with a bigboot to his midsection before diving into him with a spear and a cover!

ONE!

.
.
… KICKOUT BY ACE KING!

Duggan: Back and forth, back and forth!

Ace is back up, he and Samantha are now trading shots, Samantha dives in and locks onto Ace for the spinebuster but Ace quickly rolls up after the move and leaps into a dropkick! Samantha is getting to her feet, Ace turns while lifting a leg to the top rope and leaping backwards into a moonsault press with a cover! Big kickout by Hamilton at one leaves everyone stunned. She’s up to her face and coming at Ace hard, but our crafty champion lunges for the European Uppercut and when Hamilton sidesteps it he kicks her leg to trip her up! Ace yanks Hamilton up onto his shoulders before flipping her into a torture rack and immediately dropping her on her head! Black Jack Bomb! Ace Covers!

ONE!

DING DING DING!!!

Duggan: The Titaness just went toe-for-toe with one of the EWC’s best in her second FN’R match! Let’s go to Chriqui to get the time on that!

Chriqui: The winner of tonight's match via pinfall at 46:50.. ACE KING!

Duggan: 47 minutes, Samantha went 47 minutes with Ace King! And damned near won the match!

Martinez: Both Ace and Hamilton showed out tonight for sure!

In the ring Ace shows respect towards Hamilton and she returns it. They both nod before exiting on different sides of the ring. Hamilton joins her sisters while Ace heads to the back. We fade to…

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following tag team match is scheduled for one fall.. Introducing first..

Tan lights start to float around the arena as "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran bursts through the speakers. Aimee and Ruby step through the curtains to a loud negative reaction. They have smiles on their faces while glaring at the crowd. They slowly walk down the ramp while listening to the boos. Ruby hops up onto the ring apron as Aimee slides into the ring. Ruby leaps over the ropes and smirks while fist bumping with her sister.

Chriqui: Standing at a combined weight of 258 pounds, the team of Aimee and Ruby… The Clifton Sisters!

Duggan: The Clifton sisters haven’t had the most luck as of late but they are looking to turn that all around tonight. They’ve promised a more determined outlook in this one and I cannot wait.

Martinez: Reinventing yourself can be a good thing, I don’t personally agree with some of the things said by the Sister’s but you cannot deny their talent… they just need to focus it better

Loydson: They just keep getting screwed by our GM.

Chriqui: AND Their Opponent..

The arena lights go down to just a spotlight on the stage, and the fans give a huge cheer as 'Rebel Yell' by Billy Idol hits the speakers. Initially only Crème de la Crème steps out, dressed in a sequinned and bejewelled army general's outfit, and carrying a flag with the raised fist of the revolution on one side and the rainbow of LGBTQ+ pride on the other, before the man himself, Exile steps out wearing a dress shirt with a loosened red tie and a pair of dress pants, throwing his fist in the air, the other hand carrying the briefcase that had been won at Stranglemania. The curtain parts again and the cheers grow even louder as Georgie Nickles and Scorpio step out, flanking Crème and Exile. The pair salute to one another before Scorpio struts down the ramp like a catwalk model and Nickles slaps hands with some of the fans. The pair hit the ring together and climb in, meeting in the middle as they stand back-to-back and stare down the camera. They take a corner each and wave the fans, posing for them and pointing out some supportive signs. Finally they re-group in the middle again as Scorpio throws a vogue-like pose as Nickles folds her arms staring down the camera lens. Behind them Crème de la Crème waves the ReBelle flag with vigour, and Exile raises the briefcase high in the air - it is now apparent that there is an anarchy symbol bejeweled on the briefcase.

Duggan: ReBelle is still celebrating their victory from Stranglemania, carrying the briefcase and giving it their own air of originality.

Loydson: And the cowards have brought their little minions along for the ride. Afraid to score a win on their own?

Martinez: Phil, these two wrestlers have painted a target on their backs willingly and freely. It's a numbers game nowadays, and they've decided to shore it up some.

Duggan: I just want to know what's in the briefcase!!

Toyo Yasahiro enters the ring, checks both competitors for contraband and then signals...

DING DING DING

It’s Aimee and Scorpion starting out for their respective teams, they circle each other a few times before entering the middle in a shoulder/collar tie up. Scorpio uses his experience advantage to trade off into a arm-wrench as he takes the back and turns the arm-wrench into a chickenwing before stepping foward into a side-headlock. Scorpio drags Aimee to his corner and makes the tag to Georgie…

TAG

Nickles quickly enters the ring as Scorpio sends Aimee towards the ropes, on the rebound Scorpio drops Aimee with a roundhouse kick as Nickle’s springs off the ropes for a moonsault to finish the combo. Georgie covers!... But Ruby is there to break it up instantly with a kick to the back of Nickle’s head. Toyo is telling Ruby to exit the ring but Ruby shoves past to kick Nickles in the face! Créme and Exile yell at the ref to get order, but Scorpio evens out the field as he leaps from his corner’s top-turnbuckle and plants Ruby hard with a flying crossbody! The momentum carries the two under the bottom rope, crashing to the outside!

Duggan: What a match so far!

Loydson: Scorpio is a cheater!

Back in the ring, Georgie and Aimee are both to their feet, they look at each other before lunging forward for some old fashioned fisticuffs! Georgie has the striking advantage here and beats Aimee back into a corner, but Aimee leans in with a wild headbutt before a push kick gives her some distance and breathing room. Aimee leaps into a dropkick that sends Nickles backwards into the center of the ring.

Duggan: Aimee with the big dropkick!

Martinez: This match is going a million miles an hour.

Ruby is at their corner, awaiting a tag…

TAG

Ruby enters the ring with Aimee and they both go for the downed Nickles… they begin to stomp down on Nickles, but Scorpio from out of nowhere with a AGR! AGR onto Aimee! Dear god, what a move! Ruby quickly spins and kicks Scorpio in the jaw but Georgie finds enough footing to leap into Ruby with a spear and a cover!

ONE!

TW… KICKOUT BY RUBY CLIFTON!

Scorpio rubs his jaw before rolling out of the ring. Créme checks him on the outside. Inside the ref is focusing on Aimee who is beginning to leave. Nickles takes a second of respite before dragging Ruby to her feet and tossing her into enemy territory, where Scorpio now stands awaiting a tag. Ruby sends a wild elbow to her side and catches Scorpio on the jaw, Scorpio falls and hits his head on the padded concrete! Ruby rushes forward and clotheslines Nickles!

Martinez: The Clifton’s take control again, although Aimee is laid out on the outside after that AGR.

Ruby pulls Nickles up before kicking her in the calf and hitting a spike DDT with a cover.

ONE!

TWO… KICKOUT BY GEORGIE NICKLES!

Ruby punches the ground in anger before yelling at Nickles and slapping her. Ruby rolls out of the ring to check-up on Aimee, who shakes her head as she stands. They enter the ring and begin stomping down on Nickles as she tries to stand. The Clifton’s are showing no mercy, ignoring the ref’s count until it gets to 4.9999! Aimee turns to leave but eats a mouthful of foot via a superkick from Scorpio! Ruby lunges at The S-Factor but he ducks before leaping back into a neckbreaker! Nickles is to her feet and you can see the rage in her eyes as she sends a roundhouse kick into Aimee’s head that damned near tore it off! Scorpio rolls out of the ring, Ruby is slowly getting to her feet as Nickles rushes into her with shining anarchy! Nickles makes the cover while Scorpio, Exile and Créme count on the outside.

ONE!

TWO!!

DING DING DING!!!

Duggan: What a match, and what a win for ReBelle as they go 2-0 as a team!

Martinez: And win their FN’R debut!

Loydson: Cheating bastards!

Chriqui: The winners of tonight's match via pinfall at 43:53 .. REBELLE!!

Duggan: Congrats to ReBelle again!

The Clifton Sisters help each other to the back, ReBelle, Exiled and Créme celebrate at ringside with fans. The MacTron springs to life and our GM is sitting smiling.

AC (On MacTron): Congratulations on the big win ReBelle, the Clifton’s threw everything and the kitchen sink at you, and you still managed to come out on top.

The crowd cheers for ReBelle.

AC (On MacTron): A few weeks ago at EWC StrangleMania XIV, you both won a ladder match and in doing so, you won a briefcase with unknown promises behind it. Everyone is wondering what’s in that briefcase, we’ll, allow me to fill you all in. ReBelle, in that briefcase their is a contract and that contract states you two get a EWC World Tag Team Championship match against our champs Shock and Awe at a future TBA date. Not only have you won a title match, you both have won the right to pick the stipulation for said match!

The crowd cheers louder than ever, Scorpio and Georgie look at the GM, listening very closely.

AC (On MacTron): Congratulations again, on both your wins. And to everyone else watching Rampage. We hope you enjoyed tonight's show, and we will see you next time!

The camera zooms in on ReBelle and company as they smile, and we fade to...
