Fog spreads throughout the arena, covering the thousands of screaming fans as "Come As You Are" begins to sound off over the loudspeakers.
The fans scream for delight as the MacTron explodes to life. Pyro ignites on the stage.
The camera pans around the arena as fans scream for delight and begin their chants and raise their signs high into the air.
"NO SLEEP TIL BROOKLYN"
“ACE KING IS ON FIRE! ... HOPEFULLY NOT TONIGHT, THOUGH!”
“I’M DIGGIN DUGGAN!”
“HELL IS EMPTY, AND SO IS MY STOMACH!”
“I LIKE PLAID SHIRTS!”
“BE WITH ME, GABI VEE!”
“SAUUUUUUNDERSSSSSS”
"ACE KING LOOKS LIKE A POTATO"
"I WANNA BE A SHIELDMAIDEN"
"MARRY ME MALIETOA"
FN'R!!!
FN'R!!!
FN'R!!!
FN'R!!!
The camera flashes back to the MacTron which shows the current FN'R roster, and then flashing showing notable members of the roster from Chupacabra to Cameron Hayden, Michael Saint, Shadow Man, Level One and James Chambers. Sped up footage then shows a special montage of Memphis Reigns, Blade, Ebon, Jesse Nunez, Hurricane Jeff, Moses Lake, Kid Cactus, Kid Cannabis, BDC, Jay Cee, Stray and then explodes into Sedition members Gladiator and then The Rev, before switching to recent time with Lavender and Nostalgia, Maggie Lockheart, the former Tag Champs MUCHO GRANDE, former Undisputed Champion Luke Wolfe, and then ending with the current United States Champion Ace King holding his title proudly in front of him. Ace smirks on screen as another round of pyro is shot off.
And then the camera cuts over to the commentary desk, where we see Grizzly Duggan, Javier Martinez & Phillip Loydson are all sitting ringside and ready to deliver the goods

Duggan: Ladies and Gentlemen this is a very special episode of Friday Night Rampage. Episode FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY! What an unbelievable run we've had so far and what a stacked show we have for you tonight. The road to Hardcore Revolution really heats up tonight in Brooklyn. Before we get into tonight’s action, shout out to the Brooklyn Nets for the use of their building between Games 3 and 4 of their NBA Playoff series!
Loydson: Be honest with the people, for once: They assumed the building would be available because the Nets suck.
Duggan: ...And thank you for checking in, Phil. Now, the Nets might have Jay-Z, but we’ve got Javier Martinez!
Martinez: This should be quite a show, Grizz! 12 matches, each with their own unique set of circumstances, not to mention-
As Martinez speaks, Barclays Center plunges into darkness, and there’s a murmur throughout the building.
Duggan: What in the…
Loydson: Go figure, the Brooklyn hipsters couldn’t pay the light bill!
As the crowd grows ever more restless, the darkness persists until the MacTron flashes a brilliant red, followed by…
"THE ACE OF SPADES! THE ACE OF SPADES!"
Almost instantly, the atmosphere changes to rousing cheers as Ace King steps out in street clothes, the United States Championship resting comfortably over his left shoulder on his black leather jacket as he takes a moment to soak in the ovation.
Duggan: Well, this is certainly an interesting way to kick off the evening!
Martinez: No kidding, talk about a hot start to the show! One of the participant in tonight’s Inferno Match main event, Ace King squaring off with Annabelle!
Duggan: ‘The Gambler’ is about as battle-tested as it gets in EWC, including an iconic Steel Cage Match with Luke Wolfe last year that really got people talking.
Loydson: Someone needs to cauterize your vocal cords.
The United States Champion’s demeanour is calm, though his eyes are burning as he makes his slow walk down to the ring, his arms outstretched for fans to high-five, though he isn’t paying as much attention as he typically does. Rather than walking up the ring steps, he dives into the ring under the bottom rope. The crowd continues to cheer as Ace gets back to his feet, calling for a microphone from ringside. As ‘Ace of Spades’ fades out, the chants for the United States Champion swell up throughout the building; Ace deliberately takes a seat in the middle of the ring, looking out at the audience as he raises the microphone to his mouth.
Ace King: Life really is a game of choices, isn’t it?
The Brooklyn crowd continues to chant ‘ACE! ACE! ACE!’ as Ace takes another moment to absorb his surroundings before getting focused once more.
Ace King: Every choice has its benefits and consequences, and not everybody’s going to like the choices you make, one way or the other. As for you, Annabelle…
There’s a mixed reaction for the Queen of the Damned, though it’s about 80-20 in the way of cheers for the Wolfe matriarch as Ace simply nods in the middle of the ring.
Ace King: The choice you made to try and decline tonight’s match beforehand is, quite honestly, disappointing. The fact that you feel like you’re being forced into it is nothing like the Annabelle I’ve encountered in the past. Instead of embracing this Inferno Match, it seems like you, Annabelle… Have had your competitive fire go out.
The crowd drops an ‘OOOOOOOHHH!’ at the declaration from the United States Champion, who turns his gaze toward the entrance ramp with an icy stare.
Ace King: While that’s totally your choice, it’s something you’ll have to live with as you see this new crop of Superstars pass you by. I know some choices are difficult, believe me; take the aftermath of last year’s Night of Champions, for example. After my fourth failed attempt at the Undisputed Championship in a calendar year, I had to make a choice: Go home and re-evaluate my career… Or stay in the trenches and keep fighting.
The chants for the United States Champion swell up once more as he slowly turns his head so he’s looking dead into the eyes of the camera.
Ace King: It didn’t take me long to realize that, when it comes to this, I really didn’t have a choice: I had to keep fighting to prove that I'M STILL ONE OF THE BIGGEST THREATS IN EWC!
There’s another cheer as ‘The Gambler’ rises from his seated position, emphatically pounding the main plate of his United States Championship as he leans over the top rope, staring out toward the main camera.
Ace King: The results have largely spoken for themselves in 2019, and now, the choice to keep fighting has led me to another potentially monumental choice, because I haven’t forgotten that a victory tonight would mean I get to handpick my next challenger, and while you might not want this, Annabelle, I know there are a number of people in the back who would KILL to be in your position. So, if you’re one of those people, you might wanna choose to listen up right about now.
Ace rolls his head around on the back of his neck before fixing his stare on the entrance ramp once more, the crowd buying into every word.
Ace King: Regardless of how tonight goes, I’ll be ready for any challenge that comes my way, just as I have been all along... Now, this isn’t my normal M-O, but when push comes to shove, the message to anyone who wants my United States Championship is very simple: Step Up… or Step Aside. The choice is yours.
There’s a mix of cheering and ‘OOOOOOOOOOHHH!’ as the United States Champion proudly hoists his prized gold aloft before tossing the microphone aside and climbing the nearest turnbuckle, the ‘Ace of Spades’ drum line quickly reprising.
Duggan: Some choice words from the United States Champion, and interesting that he chose the words of his would-be nemesis.
Martinez: It’s certainly a very pointed word choice from him, but he’s also been one of the few to consistently walk the walk.
Loydson: If he went that way, he’s got more of a death wish than anything else… Anyone else feel like they have fleas?
Duggan: Nope, just an itch for competition .. we'll be back with our first match of the night .. when FN'R 450 returns after this quick message from EWCTV
‘The Gambler’ casually rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope, then takes his time to greet fans at ringside before heading back up the ramp as we fade to the EWCTV Commercial

THE CLIFTON SISTERS (AIMEE & RUBY)
Vs THE NOW OR NEVER SUPERSTARS
------------
Duggan: Welcome back to the 450th episode of Friday Night Rampage .. we are ready for our first match
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following tag team match is set for finish one fall and has twenty minute time limit. Introducing first the Clifton sisters.
”Thinking out loud” by Ed Sheeran as the Clifton Sisters make there way to the ring.
Duggan: The Clifton Sisters are looking to make a point tonight and climb up the tag division.
Chriqui: And there opponents... the Now or Never Superstars....
The Now or Never Superstars make there way to the ring.
Martinez: Both Owensby and Annie rely on each other so much, it’ll be interesting to see there dynamics tonight.
Mike Michaelson already assigned, enters the ring and checks wrestlers for contraband before signaling the time keeper for the bell.
DING DING DING
Owensby started the match off against Aimee. Aimee over powered Owensby to begin with by knocking him down with a hard clothesline then picking him up and hitting him with a running powerslam. Aimee then dragged Owensby into the corner and tagged her partner Ruby. The Clifton sisters worked on Owensby in the corner for a bit, they hit him with a aided superplex, then a drop toe hold with an elbow drop. Ruby pinned but Annie broke the pin up before the ref got her out of the ring. Owensby then desperately tried to tag Annie in but Ruby pulled him back towards her corner. Ruby hit Owensby with a high dropkick to the face, then she tagged Aimee back in and went up the top rope. Ruby tried a moonsault by Owensby moves out of the way sending Ruby crashing to the mat. Aimee then grabbed Owensby leg as he tried to make the tag, so Owensby caught her with a enzuguri kick. With both Clifton sisters down Owensby was able to make the tag to Annie. Annie charged into the ring and hit a double drop kick on both Clifton Sisters, then she climbed the top rope and as the sisters got to there feet Annie jumped off the top rope and hit them both with a double cross body.
Duggan: The Clifton Sisters were in control but now Annie Cliffhanger is running riot!
Annie then tagged Owensby back in, they picked Aimee up and hit her with a double team arm drag before they locked in a double team arm bar submission. Ruby broke the submission up just in time, she hit a super kick on Annie sending her out of the ring. Owensby then hit a DDT on Ruby. Aimee was the legal person for her team though and as Owensby turned around she caught him with a big boot and then she hit a powerbomb. Annie tried to get back on the ring apron but Ruby smashed with a hard forearm sending her flying back to the outside. The Clifton sisters then hit the blood bond on Owensby. Aimee made the pin....!
ONE!

THREE!!!
DING DING DING!!!
Chriqui: And the winners via pinfall the Clifton sisters!!!!!Duggan: What a big win for the sisters! They worked well together tonight.
The Clifton Sisters celebrated as they made there way up the ramp as Annie helped Owensby up in the ring as we cut to the backstage area
The camera pans in on The Titaness sitting in her locker room, watching the ongoing night from a small television screen that had been provided. She reaches down and starts to remove a cap off a bottle of water before a knock catches her attention. Her head tilts in curiosity before she stands up and opens the door.
Behind it, we see none other than Rampage's interviewer, Brian Spade.
Brian Spade: "Ah, Titaness, good. I was hoping to catch you. Mind if I have a few words regarding your last match and tonight's?"
Sam offers a casual shrug and moves aside, allowing Brian to enter.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: "By all means, go for it."
While Sam sits back down on the bench she'd been using, Brian remains standing across from The Titaness. He begins almost immediately, having seemed to thought on what he wanted to ask.
Brian Spade: "So, how do you feel about your loss to Ace King?"
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: "It still stings a bit."
She shrugs nonchalantly.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: "Losing almost always does. But compared to other losses I've had? It was a much cleaner one. He definitely earned and deserved the win. I can safely say that he's by far one of the more ... respectable people I've met in this company."
Brian Spade: "Does that mean you're rooting for him tonight?"
Sam tilts her hand in the air.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: "I am, yes. But I'm not going to simply discard Annabelle, either. She's proved herself quite a few times, particularly since me and the Shieldmaidens have come here. She's clearly skilled. It's not gonna be an easy fight."
Brian Spade: "Any other fights tonight you're especially curious about?"
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: "Aside from my own, yeah. There are a few. Dominic versus Wendy. Dominic rather recently suffered a pretty huge defeat. That alone proves he's not impossible to defeat. Ace versus Annebelle, obviously. Then I am, admittedly, very curious to see Joseph versus Kendrick."
Brian Spade: "It sounded like you and Kross had some history. Is that right?"
Sam smirks before nodding.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: "Most definitely, yeah. Eventually, I'd love to go against him. But for now? I'm fine watching and seeing how he handles a wild card."
Brian Spade: "Anyone else you're hoping to go against one of these days?"
Sam goes quiet to think about this answer before confidently nodding.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: "There are definitely a few."
She then flashes Brian a sly smirk.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: "But ... I'm not giving that answer away. Not yet nor here. Management has seemed to take pretty good guesses thus far. I'm confident they'll be able to continue putting me against relatively decent fighters."
Brian looks a bit taken aback at the secretive reply, but doesn't argue with The Titaness nor press his luck in trying to get a definite answer.
Brian Price: "Okay. One last question then. How are you feeling about your fight tonight against Gabi Vee?"
Sam stays quiet for at least one minute, nearly two, before replying.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: "Let's put it this way, Price; she's gonna need better stamina than insults. Not many people have lasted against me for thirty minutes, nor even twenty. I was very serious on a few particular bits I said to her. One of them was there is no easy way out, especially not against me. It's going to be long and very likely one of the most brutal fights she's ever endured. That'll apply regardless of the outcome."
Brian nods, bowing his head in appreciation.
Brian Price: "Fair enough. Thank you very much, Samantha, for your time.
We then cut back to ringside
MATCH 2
BECCA "BRUSIER" ROGERS
Vs BRETT KENNEDY
------------
BECCA "BRUSIER" ROGERS
Vs BRETT KENNEDY
------------
Duggan: That was certainly an interesting exchange backstage .. Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton seems focused and on a mission .. speaking of focus .. Chriqui is already in the ring ready for our next match
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles match is set for one fall and has a twenty minute time limit. Introducing first.... Becca “Bruiser” Rodgers....
”The Animal” by Disturbed and Bruiser makes her way to the ring.
Martinez: Becca Rodgers looks ready to kick some ass tonight.
Chriqui: And her opponent.. Brett Kennedy....
’I don’t care’ by Fallout boy plays and Brett Kennedy makes his way to the ring.
Duggan: Brett Kennedy looks cocky and confident as always.
Pierce Patterson enters the ring and checks wrestlers for contraband before signaling the timekeeper and..
DING DING DING
Brett started talking smack to Bruiser from the get go and he got a smack right in the mouth for his troubles. Brett shook by the punch decide he couldn’t be bothered wrestling tonight so he tried to make his way up the ramp but Bruiser chased him down. It was a trap though as Brett caught Bruiser with a clothesline at the top of the ramp. Brett then hit a float over DDT to Bruiser on the ramp before he made his way to ring. Brett cockily sat in the ring corner with his feet on the ropes as the ref counted Bruiser out but just he reached ten Bruiser somehow scrambled and got herself back into the ring.
Duggan: Wow Bruiser just made it into the ring before she was counted out! Close call.
Brusier then smashes Brett with a hard European uppercut and multiple chops to the chest. Brett tried to poke Bruiser’s eye but she blocked his attempt and instead hit him with a release belly to belly suplex. Bruiser didn’t let up as she then hit Brett with multiple German suplexs. She pinned him but Brett got his foot on the ropes. Brett then nearly caught Bruiser with a small package pin but she kicked out at the last second. Bruiser then hit Brett with a running forearm smash and a tiger suplex. Bruiser again pinned but Brett got his hand on the rope this time, then he rolled out of the ring much to Brusiers frustration.
Loydson: Bruiser is on control, she just can’t put Brett away.
As Brett tries to regain energy on the outside leaning against the barricade at the time keeper area Bruiser caught him off guard as she charged and hit him with a spear that sent them both crashing through the barricade! The fans were loving it. Bruiser eventually got to her feet, she carried Brett to the ring and once in there she hit him with the Kickstarter and she made the pin.
ONE!

DING DING DING
Chriqui: And the winner via pinfall.... Becca “Bruiser” Rodgers.....
Duggan: Becca Rodgers showing everyone why she is one of the fiercest competitors on the rampage roster! I can’t wait to see what’s best for her.
Bruiser makes her way up the ramp as she celebrated her victory.
Cameras show Paul Clifton heading down a corridor with his sister Lynx Boyd by his side. They appear to be heading towards the ring. Brian Spade can be seen walking towards them as Paul holds his hand up.
Paul: Before you ask a stupid question, I just want to say one thing. Chris Mosh, you are an idiot. You think breaking my neck is all you can do to me. Boy, I'm going to rock your fucking world.
Lynx smirks as she looks at Brian.
Lynx: Don't even waste your breath. I am here to support my brother and watch my sisters beat the hell out of that new tag team. Now get the hell out of our way or Paul will be happy to give you a sneak preview of what's to come.
Brian steps to the side feeling dejected as Paul and Lynx continue their march toward the ring.
MATCH 3
ANTONI MALIETOA
Vs PHOENIX WINTERBORN

ANTONI MALIETOA
Vs PHOENIX WINTERBORN
------------
Duggan: Welcome back .. we just heard from Paul and Lynx backstage .. they seemed .. pleasant .. anyways .. our next match is a big one .. on loan from Monday Night Brawl .. Antoni will take on the rising star Phoenix Winterborn in what should be a very exciting match
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles match is set for one fall and has a twenty minute time limit. Introducing first.... Antoni Malietoa
Be Somebody' – Ft. Minor Ft. Lupe Fiasco and Holly Brook plays as Antoni makes his way to the ring.
Martinez: Antoni Malietoa has big match on Brawl next week as he looks to earn a shot at the U.S champion Ace Heart, but he has to keep focused here tonight.
Chriqui: And his opponent.... Phoenix Winterborn.
”Robot Rock” by Daft punk plays as Phoenix makes his way to the ring.
Duggan: Phoenix is confident that he can take down the big Samoan tonight but it won’t be easy.
Pierce Patterson enters the ring and checks wrestlers for contraband before signaling the timekeeper and..
DING DING DING
The two big men squared up to each other as soon as the bell rang. Antoni clocked Phoenix with a forearm smash and Phoenix replied back with a spinning backfirst. Antoni ran off the ropes and back at Phoenix who caught Antoni with a feint superkick. Phoenix made the pin but Antoni kicked out right away which surprised Phoenix. Phoenix tried a twisting suplex on Antoni but Antoni reversed it into mountain bomb. Antoni now made the pin but Phoenix kicked out. Antoni throws Phoenix off the ropes and two men end up hitting each other with a double clothesline.
Duggan: Both superstars marching up well so far!
Antoni tried the malosi but Phoenix reversed it into a DDT of his own. Phoenix then tried an elbow drop on Antoni but Antoni moved out of the way and Phoenix hit the mat. Antoni then rushed at Phoenix and tried a big boot but Phoenix ducked under the boot and ran off the ropes. He came back at Antoni and tried a big boot of his but Antoni caught his leg and picked him up on his shoulders! As Antoni was about to go for a powerbomb Phoenix started smashing Antoni on the top of the head with elbow strikes. Antoni stumbles and crashes into the corner which caused Phoenix to go tumbling over the top rope. Antoni then decides to risk it all and he hit a dive over the top rope right onto Phoenix!
Martinez: Wow the athleticism of Antoni Malietoa there! Incredible!
Antoni tried to pick Phoenix up on the outside but Phoenix pushed Antoni into the ring post. Phoenix then ran and tackled Antoni right into the steel steps. Both men were down as the ref was up to a seven count. Just when it looked like they were both going to get counted out they both made it to there feet and into the ring. Antoni catches Phoenix off guard and hits the Samoan Dynasty. He makes the pin.....
ONE!

DING DING DING
Chriqui: And the winner via pinfall.... Antoni Malietoa!
Duggan: Now that was a work out and a half for Antoni Malietoa! Will he be ready for Tom Frost on Brawl next week though?
Antoni celebrates in the ring by going up the turnbuckle and beating his chest with his hands as we cut to a commercial .
Brian Spade stands in the center of the ring. There is a crackle of thunder, and the crowd ERUPTS with a huge pop from the crowd, as the lights start to dim, and we hear the sound of rain, thunder, and flashes of lightning inside the arena. As the sounds and sights of the storm continues to rage a distorted voice begins to speak.
Distorted Voice:
"Behold, he comes with lightning and clouds..."
The lightning and clouds on the jumbo-tron burst into a flash of bright light as the final bolt touches the ground, "Seek and Destroy" by Metalica hits and the crowd jumps to it's feet with a massive pop!!!
The reaction turns to a roar, when after a few moments when a spotlight shines through the darkness, and Luke Wolfe is standing center stage.
An emotionless look on his face, soaking in the reaction he starts to slowly make his walk down the entrance ramp, the spotlight fallows him as he makes his way toward the ring.
Spade: Ladies and Gentlemen... Please welcome back to the EWC... back HOME! to RAMPAGE!!! "The Untouchable"... LUKE WOLFE!!!
Luke slowly makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with fans along the way, but with an emotionless look on his face. He makes his way up the steps and through the ropes slowly walking towards Spade, as he places his hands on his hips.
Spade: Luke Wolfe... Welcome back! To Rampage!
He leans the mic over to Luke old school interview style, but before he can speak the crowd blows the roof off the building with chants of "Welcome Back".
"WELCOME BACK!!!"
"WELCOME BACK!!!"
"WELCOME BACK!!!"
"WELCOME BACK!!!"
"WELCOME BACK!!!"
Luke: Thank you... It doesn't matter what happens in the EWC. Good... bad or indifferent... Rampage, will ALWAYS be my home!
The crowd ROARS!!!
Spade: Luke, since the season premier, you have teased your return to the EWC... and you made your return in a major way at Stranglemania! But you made it clear that your return wasn't about money... it wasn't about championships... it was about a Prophecy.
Wolfe: There are some things in this world more important then money. I could retire today and know that I have cemented myself as one of the greatest wrestlers in EWC history. I am a former EWC Tag Team, United States, X-Division, and Undisputed Champion. I'm a Grand Slam winner... I have nothing... absolutely nothing left to prove. But... As 2018 came to a close I was watching, and I saw my home invaded by a new crop of talent, that was going to change the world as we knew it. They were creating a world that was comfortable with zero accountability. Zero consequences... and headed down a road to a future of permanent darkness I can NOT embrace. I saw visions of what would happen to the EWC. An EWC that was filled with demons that would destroy everything that everyone like myself who came before them, worked so hard to build. I told myself that if I was going to come back it, would have to be for something important. Well I saw the future, and I said NOT HERE, NOT NOW, NOT IN MY HOUSE! I looked at Annabelle... I said lets go to war...
HUGE pop from the crowd.
Spade: Is that what this is about then? The message written in blood after you put down Hope Diamond?
Luke: Hope Diamond... is the first in a LONG line of people who have consequences coming their way. Consequences for their actions. People who WILL be held accountable, liars and crooks who will be destroyed... and NO ONE... is safe!
Spade: Have you returned then... returned as the EWC's Messiah?
Luke shakes his head no, but before he can speak he is cut off by chants of "Messiah"...
"MES-SI-AH!!!"
"MES-SI-AH!!!"
"MES-SI-AH!!!"
"MES-SI-AH!!!"
"MES-SI-AH!!!"
Luke: No... I can't be your savior. Because I'll make no bones about it... I'm no hero. I'm not a hero that can lead Rampage into the next era. Only a true hero can ultimately make the changes that need to happen.
Spade: But if it's not you... Then-- is that why you were seen on Prime last week???
Luke gives Spade an irritated look... clearly not wanting to talk about what happened on Prime.
Luke: I am here to cast judgment. I'm here to dish out punishment, and destroy the people who set us down this path of permanent darkness! But... I have found someone. I know who it is... I've seen it. A true hero that could be something that I could never be. Someone who--
I hear a lot of little secrets. Tell me yours, and I'll keep it.
You wanna know my name by now. Better think twice, 'cause being evil has a price.
I got a nasty reputation, nor I feel the hesitation
Being Evil Has A Price cuts into Luke Wolfe´s speech as Hope Diamond emerges from behind the curtain and walks down the ramp in her now signature snow white suit.
No surprise that there is no welcome back for her much less any fan support.
Hope ascends the steps to the ring and leans over the ropes rather than entering to a chorus of boos.
Hope: Good day Mister Wolfe and of course welcome back to RAMPAGE. Before you tell us everything about the new messiah of this brand and the one real hero let me say a little piece. I agree with you on one thing. You are not what this place needs.
Hope: yes, you and Annabelle make a great show so far out of being righteous and rooting out evil. I was the first to pay the consequences of my actions, right? Annie even refuses title shots and a very publicity friendly way to take a stand against the corruption in the EWC.
Hope: I agree with that corrupting theory. I´ve seen my share of it lately. A ref counts too fast last Brawl to make me lose. Management positions turn into ejection seats where staff changes so fast you don´t even bother with names or faces anymore. And then there is Luke Wolfe and Annabelle popping up at Stranglemania and mowing me down just moments before a crucial tag team match in the Brand Wars. It was a match where Team Brawl and Team RAMPAGE emerged victorious. Have you ever wondered what might have happened if Team FSW had not entered the fight weakened? Have you ever wondered if that was all a coincidence?
Diamond hops off the apron back onto the concrete surrounding the ring.
Hope: Luke, have you ever heard the phrase that sometimes it takes a thief to catch a thief? We probably can´t agree on much but we can HOPEfully agree on this: I´m one of the vilest and most manipulative schemers the wonderful world of EWC has ever seen. I think schemes 24/7 and in that capacity I can tell you one thing. You are no savior. Your are no messiah. You are a piss-poor judge, jury and executioner as well because you work for those you despite. You just haven´t figured it out. Stay a finger puppet if you like. Continue to be someone else’s blunt instrument. I won´t. Have a nice day Luke.
I hear a lot of little secrets. Tell me yours, and I'll keep it.
You wanna know my name by now. Better think twice, 'cause being evil has a price.
I got a nasty reputation, nor I feel the hesitation
Hope Diamond walks out to her theme, leaving behind a silent Luke Wolfe to continue his planned announcement another time.
You wanna know my name by now. Better think twice, 'cause being evil has a price.

Mike Michaelson enters the ring and checks wrestlers for contraband before signaling the timekeeper and..
DING DING DING
The match has a frantic start to it, all five superstars start knocking seven shades of crap out of each other in the ring. Yeshwa hit a shining wizard on Alapha wolf, then Savage connected with the arrowhead to Yeshwa. Before Savage could pin Pyscho hit a header on Savage, then she went to the top rope for a moonsault but as she jumped Archer Barrett caught her in mid air with a European uppercut! Archer tried to pin Pyscho but Savage broke it up just in time.
Savage tried a hip toss to Archer but he flipped and landed on his feet before hitting Savage with a hard forearm smash. Alpha charges at Archer but Archer leap frogged over him. Alpha ran right into a high knee strike to the face by Psycho. Yeshwa then hit the D’endrrah on Psycho out of nowhere as she rolled out of the ring.
Duggan: Yeshwa just clocked Psycho with his version of the superkick!! What a wild match.
Yeshwa goes for a spinning wheel kick to Archer but he ducked under the kick and Savage then caught Yeshwa off guard with the tomahawk! Savage tried to make the pin but Archer broke it up. Archer and Savage trade elbow strikes to the face in the ring and the fans were loving it. Alpha tried to clothesline the two but they both dodged his attempt and then they hit him with a double superkick. Archer then took advantage and hit a piledriver on Savage.
Before Archer could make the pin Psycho springboard from the ropes and hit a moonsault onto Savage. Yeshwa ran over and pushed both Archer and Psycho out of the ring. He then pinned Savage but Savage kicked out at two.
Pyscho was first to get back in the ring and she caught Yeshwa with Gealtachta.
Psycho pinned Yeshwa who was out cold but before the three count Archer pulled her out of the ring.

Archer quickly took advantage and got in the ring, he applied the Eagle eye leglock to Alpha who tapped out right away before the others could break the submission up!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And the winner via submission.... Archer Barret!

Archer celebrates as he makes his way up the ramp.
MATCH 5
CHRIS MOSH
VS PAUL CLIFTON
------------
CHRIS MOSH
VS PAUL CLIFTON
------------
Chriqui: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! First now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada The Cold Hearted CHRIS MOSH
"Black Hear" by nothing, nowhere begins to play. Chris walks out backwards from the curtian with his black hoody on then stops at the top of the ramp. He turns his head to look up the ramp then turns around. He walks down the ramp not giving a care at what the fans are doing. He climbs up the stairs and then when on the apron looks around just smirking. He then jumps over the ropes and turns his back to the hard cam, then turns his head to look at the hard cam with a little smirk
Martinez: The ever cocky and arrogant Chris Mosh ready for this one.
Loydson: It is not being cocky if you really are that good and this kid can back it up in the ring.
Announcer Name: Making his way down the aisle, weighing in at two hundred and fifty five pounds, from Cincinatti, Ohio, he is "The Serpent" Paul Clifton
The sound of a snake hissing comes over the speaker as the lights drop low. A pair of black lights shine on the stage as "Rabid" starts blaring. A man wearing long black tights steps through the curtain as the crowd immediately starts booing him. Paul Clifton is grinning from ear to ear while slowly walking down the ramp. Paul continues to smirk while sliding into the ring. He slithers toward a corner and waits.
Martinez: Well I hope that Chris Mosh is ready, because he is taking on a man who looks to be laser focused here tonight in Paul Clifton.
Duggan: This is going to be a hell of a match Paul has a small weight advantage, but I don't see it being a major factor here tonight.
DING DING DING!!!
The ref calls for that bell and this match would start off hot and heavy. The two men would dead sprint to the center of the ring and start off by trading hard shots back and forth. After a handful of those shots Paul would have the advantage. Paul would dominate for a bit hitting some hard slams before Chris would block his Serpent Plex finishing move, which would lead to Chris being able to get on a short roll. Chris would show off his great amount of power by connecting with a belly to belly suplex, followed by a belly to back suplex, and finally ending it all with a high angled german suplex into a bridge that would get a close two count for Chris Mosh.Martinez: The match is starting off just as predicted with neither man giving an inch and both hitting some hard shots out there.
Loydson: These two kids are the future of this business and they both know that to get far you need to take it to the opponent straight away.
Chris would cockily signal that he was going to end the match and go for a The Moshplex, but that would work against him as Paul would be able to block the move and then turn it into a bridging northern lights suplex for a close two count of his own. Both men would get to their feet and Paul would again lay into Chris with some hard shots, but when going for a wild haymaker Chris would duck down and when Paul turned around Chris would connect with a superkick that would stagger his opponent before bringing him down with a brainbuster that would get another close two count. Chris would attempt a Mosh Pit, but Paul would easily get out of the move before hitting a desperation inverted DDT. Paul would be slowly up to his feet first and wiff a running knee drop when Chris rolled out of the way. Chris would go for another superkick, but this one would be caught allowing for Paul to spin Chris around and connect with clothesline that would turn Chris inside out with the only thing that saved Chris from the three was him getting a foot on the ropes.
Martinez: Wow that was a close one we almost saw Paul Clifton get the win right fucking there!
Duggan: What do you expect man? I mean you just saw what that clothesline did to Chris Mosh it turned his ass inside out.
Paul with be the first man to his feet and would set up for a Serpent Plex, but again Chris would be able to fight his way out of the move. Chris would grab Paul for a back suplex, but Paul would reverse and again go for a Serpent Plex, but Chris would back Paul into a corner and connecting with a low blow while the ref was unable to see. Chris would taunt the downed Paul who was lying on the mat holding onto his family jewels. Chris would pick up Paul and set up for The Mosh Pit, but again Paul would again fight his way out before hitting The Shot of Venom out of nowhere!

DING DING DING!!!
Chriqui: Here is your winner via Pin-Fall Paul Clifton!
Martinez: Paul Clifton with a hard fought win here tonight.
Duggan: A good win as well, I mean Chris Mosh has a bit of history in EWC and a win over him is nothing to sneeze at.
Loydson: The kid is going to go places here,
Paul celebrates as we go to commercial
MATCH 6
GABRIELLE VISCONTY
VS SAMANTHA "THE TITANESS" HAMILTON
------------
GABRIELLE VISCONTY
VS SAMANTHA "THE TITANESS" HAMILTON
------------
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles match is scheduled for one fall.. Introducing first! 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 slips through the middle and top ropes.
Duggan: 47 minutes. That’s how long it took for the United States to defeat this woman.
Martinez: There was no shame in her defeat. If anything she has shown that she could hang with the best of them!
Loydson: A loss is a loss. That’s the problem with today’s talent - they always want a participation prize!
Martinez: Hamilton has earned every victory and learned from every defeat throughout her career! It’s a matter of time before she earns a belt around her waist!
Duggan: That remains to be seen. But until then, she still has a ways to go.
Chriqui: AND her opponent…from Indianapolis, Indiana... weighing in at 118 pounds... Gabrielle Visconty!!!!!
”Oh Lord” by In This Moment hits the sound system as Gabrielle Visconty slowly walks out from the back, stopping at the top of the ramp. She grins briefly out at the crowd who greet her with mixed reactions. She looks around a moment, a little humbled by her reception, before heading off towards the ring at a soft jog, slapping hands as she goes. She hops up on the ring apron and looks out over the crowd, offering a mischievous smile and wink, then springboards herself gracefully into the ring.
Martinez: Gabi Vee has impressed the San Antonio crowd earlier this week when she defeated former International Champion, Iggy Swango!
Loydson: Well who hasn’t beat Iggy these days? Ever since she lost her belt, she’s fallen off, just like that so-called big signee Stephanie Matsuda.
Duggan: Visconty has pinned Matsuda on her debut, followed by her victory over Swango. Can she turn this into a streak? We’ll find out at the end of this match!
DING DING DING
The match starts off with a collar-and-elbow tie-up between the two. Hamilton scores an armlock, but Gabi rolls through and counters with a hammerlock. Samantha takes advantage of her size and tosses Visconty across the room like a ragdoll. As Gabi gets to her feet, she finds herself on the receiving end of a big boot. Hamilton displays a feat of strength by deadlifting Gabi off the mat into a powerbomb, but Gabi slips out behind her, hits the ropes, and catches Samantha in the chin with a flying knee attack. Before Samantha can recover, Visconty follows with a standing 450 Splash! She attempts a pin, but the sheer power of Hamilton’s immediate kick out sends Visconty flying several feet away. Wasting no time, Gabi closes in as quickly as possible but finds herself on the other end of a spinebuster! The Titaness mounts Gabi Vee and rains elbows down upon her. Gabi does whatever she can to protect her face, but there’s too much power behind the force of Sam’s blows.
Duggan: Hamilton is making it rain with pain upon the face of Gabi Vee!
Loydson: This Shieldmaiden has eight inches over Visconty, along with twenty extra pounds of muscle! If she wants to see herself as the victor, she needs to try another strategy.
Martinez: Visconty is fast, but Hamilton has speed and power!
Samantha picks up Gabrielle and whips her to the corner and follows up with a corner clothesline. Visconty slumps in a seated position. Samantha stomps her chest several times and pulls her out from the corner. She picks up Visconty with ease and lands a sickening backbreaker! Vee grabs her lower back in pain as the fans cheer her on for her to make a comeback. Hamilton seems to be in control of the match as she kicks at Vee’s leg several times before applying an ankle lock. Gabrielle tries to reach for the ropes, but Samantha pulls her to the center of the ring. Visconty uses her hands to stand one on one leg and flips out of the hold. Gabrielle rolls backward, avoiding Sam’s wild swing and counters with a reverse Frankenstein! Gabi Vee uses all of her strength to crawl over Hamilton’s body for the pin!
One!
Two!
Hamilton kicks out!
Martinez: Visconty’s craftiness has turned the tide for her! It may have bought her enough time for her to gather her bearings for a chance to be on the offensive!
No longer moving as fast as she was at the beginning of the match, Gabi slips out to the apron and waits for Hamilton to get back on her feet. She leaps off the ropes and slams Samantha’s face into the mat with a beautiful springboard bulldog. Hamilton rolls onto her back and Vee lands another standing 450! She follows this up with another pin!
One!
Two!
Hamilton kicks out again!
Loydson: It’s going to take more than that to take Hamilton out!
Gabi decides to slow things down with an inverted facelock. Visconty is using Hamilton’s own body against her, forcing Sam to holler in pain. Hamilton’s resistance to pain outweighs Gabi’s strength as she’s forced to break the hold despite coming close to a tap out. She picks up a weakened Samanta and fires several forearms to the face before performing an Irish whip into the corner followed by a somersault into a roaring elbow! Visconty staggers back a bit, expending more energy than she anticipated. Gabi Vee climbs up the nearest turnbuckle and stares down at her opponent. The crowd becomes wild as she stares down at her opponent and leaps off the top. In an amazing display of acrobatics, she pulls off her signature Angel Bomb Spiral Tap.
Martinez: Gabi Vee lands the Angel Bomb perfectly!
Duggan: The little firecracker is going back to the top! It looks like she’s about to Ascend...she leaps!
Loydson: OUCH! Superkick out of nowhere!
A replay shows Samantha jumping to her feet in time to deliver a superkick as Gabi Vee was about to end the match with her corkscrew shooting star finisher, Ascension. Both women are on their backs, doing everything in their power to collect their breath. The crowd is behind them both at this point, cheering them on. Halfway through the ref’s count, both women make it to their feet, weariness coming over the both of them. They give each other hell by exchanging blows, ending with Samantha getting the upper hand. Gabi Vee falls to her knees, dizzy from the hits she was taking. Hamilton goes behind Gabi and applies the sleeper hold, Exiled to Tartarus. She lifts Gabi off her feet, who’s kicking and screaming while fighting for a way out of the hold.
Duggan: Hamilton has the Exiled to Tartarus locked! Gabi will fade if she can’t break out of it!
Martinez: She’s trying to slip out of the hold, but Hamilton’s grip is too strong!
As the two struggle with each other, Gabrielle forces Samantha to stumble with her near the corner. Gabi uses the corner to kick feet off the middle and top turnbuckles. She slips out of the hold, bounces off the ropes and hits a springboard DDT!
Duggan: The Big Come Down!
Loydson: Samantha is fading! Visconty is going back to the corner!
Samantha slowly gets to her feet as Visconty climbs to the top rope. Gabrielle leaps and hits the Jawbreaker Diving Double Knee Facebreaker! Hamilton is down as Visconty makes the double-legged pin!
One!
Two!
Three!
DING DING DING!
Chriqui: And the winner via pinfall .. GABRIELLLLLLLLE VISSSSSSSSCONTY!!!
Duggan: Visconty has pulled another hat trick!
Martinez: The streak continues on! Samantha proved to be quite a challenge, but Gabi Vee used her high flying genius to counter the sheer power of Samantha Hamilton!
Loydson: The real question is will one trick pony style earn her a chance at a title shot on next week’s Brawl?
Duggan: For now though, she can celebrate here at the Barclays Center! When we come back, Hope Diamond faces off against Brooklyn hometown hero, Stephanie Matsuda!
MATCH 7
HOPE DIAMOND
VS STEPHANIE MATSUDA
------------
HOPE DIAMOND
VS STEPHANIE MATSUDA
------------
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is set for one fall and has a 30 minute time limit. Introducing first… From Sana Ana, California…MISS FORTUNE… HOPE DIAMOND!!!
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 MacTron 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.
Duggan: Hope Diamond looking to get back into the win column tonight after a loss to Yeshwa on Brawl.
Martinez: She’s got her hands full though with New up and comer Stephanie Matsuda!
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 his/her opponent..Making her way to the ring, being accompanied by Monica Vaughan! From Brooklyn, New York! Weighing in at 132lbs,” The War Queen” Stephanie Matsuda!
“Let’s Go” by Run the Jewels plays as Stephanie Matsuda walks out dressed in her signature black fitted cap and a bandanna around her face. Trailed by manager Monica Vaughan, Matsuda walks on stage and crouches low, getting ready for her match.
Stephanie and Monica walk down the ramp, their eyes fixated on the ring. At the bottom of the ramp, Matsuda runs and slides into the ring. She takes a moment to run the ropes and throws her hat into the crowd. She then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and pulls down her bandanna as she stares into the crowd. She then jumps down and prepares for her match.
Duggan: And here is Stephanie Matsuda. She calls herself the War Queen. Originally from Tokyo, she’s looking to make her mark in EWC and is coming over from Brawl to make her name known all over this company!
Loydson: She has nothing on Miss Fortune. Hope Diamond is going to wipe the floor with this pretender!
The ref, Peirce Patterson, enters the ring and checks both wrestlers for contraband before signaling the timekeeper and..
DING DING DING
Both women square up to start the match, Hope Diamond gets the upper hand first as she transitions from collar and elbow into a side headlock using the size and weight advantage.Stephanie reverses to a hammerlock and then sends Hope to the ropes. Hope bounces off and and Matsuda hits the mat, hope jumps over her and to the other side, Stephanie jumps up and leapfrogs over Diamond, who shoots off the opposite ropes again before eating a dropkick to the face from Matsuda. Stephanie with a quick cover, but only gets a two count. Hope back to her feet, both wrestlers square off again and go back and forth again trading manuevors until Matsuda plants a foot and catches Diamond with a superkick she calls YAHTZEE! Matsuda with the cover...ONE....TWO...THR-KICKOUT! Duggan: MATSUDA ALMOST HAD HOPE DIAMOND!
Loydson You take that back! Hope is clearly playing games with Matsuda now. She can end this whenever she wants. Hope is just putting on a show for her adoring fans.
Martinez: Come on girl! Put Hope out of her misery!
Hope to her feet now and she goes right back on the attack. she throws Matsuda to the ropes and catches her with a drop toe hold on the rebound that she transitions into a Fujiwara Amrbar. Stephanie is in the middle of the ring! She has nowhere to go as she fights the hold, struggling to get free before she finally centers herself and gathers the momentum to roll out and send Hope flying toward the corner. Hope comes right back now as she jumps toward Matsuda, putting her in a head scissors and then twisting, to lay Matsuda on the mat in a figure four head scissors. Matsuda is flailing all over the place now as she tries to find a way out,but Hope just bares down even more.
Duggan: We could be seeing the end here! Hope has that locked in tight!
Loydson: I told you! She can end matsuda any time she wants!
Martinez: Shut up Loydson! Matsuda is going to be just fine, you watch!
Matsudsa looks to be fading fast here as the ref pull up her arm once and it fall. He waits a second before picking it up again, and again it falls. The crowd is cheering on Matsuda as he raises the arm a thrid time and she holds it up!! Matsuda is gaining strength now as she starts to roll out of the hold. Hope locks down again briefly before Matsuda gets out of the hold and retreats to a corner to get her breath. Hope doesn't wait and starts putting the boots to Stephanie. one, two, three, four the ref pushes Diamond back before the five count giving Matsuda a chance to her to her feet.
Matsuda goes to engage Hope again, but Hope comes running and catches her off guard with an Enzuigiri she calls the KANABO KICK! Diamond goes for the cover...
ONE!

Chriqui: And the winner via pinfall .. HOPE DIIIIIIIIAMOND!Duggan: WHAT A MATCH! Folks, we just witnessed an all out FIGHT between these two women and I don’t think that it will be the last time these two square off. and I for one cannot wait!
Loydson: I told you she could end it whenever she wanted! Miss Fortune is the greatest wrestler EWC has ever seen and she’s just building her resume until she finally goes after whatever she decides she wants!
Hope Diamond celebrates in the ring as we fade to commercial
MATCH 8
JOSEPH "ORION" HUNTER
VS KENDRICK KROSS
------------
JOSEPH "ORION" HUNTER
VS KENDRICK KROSS
------------
Chriqui: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring weighing in at two hundred and five pounds, he is one of the members of the Chrome Dragons MC. He is 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: Hunter with a bit of disrespect to the ref there.
Loydson: Nah the ref was in the way of Hunter and Hunter was just moving him.
Duggan: Well he still should not have hit him with that vest.
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.
Chriqui: 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 before walking over to his corner and hopping up onto the turnbuckle awaiting the bell.
Martinez: Former TV Champion looks good.
Loydson: Are you accusing him of ever not looking good?
Duggan: Well needless to say Kendrick Kross is a hell of a man and this is going to be a crazy affair.
DING DING DING!!!
The ref calls for the bell and this match begins. The two men start off going to the center of the ring and lock up. Off the bat Kross with a gut shot and right away attempts his Tramp Stamp finisher, but Hunter is easily able to avoid what would have been a very early end to this match. Kross would turn around into Hunter getting him up for The Gutshot, but Kross too would be easily able to fight his way out of the opponents finisher. Both men would pop up and start to trade shots in the middle of the ring with neither man being able to get a clear advantage over the other. It would take Hunter hitting a gut kick to stop the punch flurry. Hunter would set up for a DDT, but Kross would block and connect with a bridging fisherman's suplex for a two count. Martinez: Way too early for a cover in this match.
Loydson: These are two blue chip prospects and both know better than to go for a win already it is more mind games than anything here.
Both men get to their feet and Kross attempts the fisherman's suplex again, but this time Hunter would block and drop Kross with a regular suplex of his own. Kross would stagger to his feet and would get a knee tot he stomach from Hunter would would follow up with The Bow Press dropping the former two time Television Champion for a two count. Kross would get to his feet slowly and Hunter would go for a True Strike, but Kross would again fight out and roll up Hunter with a crucifix for a two count of his own. Both men up and Hunter would charge Kross who would duck under and hit a pele kick staggering Hunter. Kross would follow up with a Rack of Ribs for a very close two count. Hunter would be up, but right away get a back kick to the stomach. Kross would go for The Tramp Stamp, but Hunter would catch him out of nowhere getting Kross on his shoulders before hitting The Thrill of the Hunt for a two count!
Martinez: What a counter I thought that was the end of this one.
Duggan: It does not get much closer than that without it being a three count.
Both men would slowly get up each one using opposite corners to do so and when they rose each would sprint to the center of the ring trading heavy shots to the head. Kross would find a way to get the advantage and go for a DDT, but Hunter would get under him setting up for The Gutshot, but Kross would fight his way out of it planting Hunter with a DDT on his way down. Kross would be up slowly and mount the top rope and go for Mountain's Rain, but Hunter would roll out of the way. Kross would hit hard, but not stay down charging at Hunter who would get under him before connecting with The Gutshot, but no! Kross would reverse into a small package!

VS SCORPIO
------------
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is set for one fall and has a 45 minute time limit.Introducing first, Please welcome, from London, England, weighing in at 205 lbs... 'The S-Factor'... 'The People's Camp'... Scorpio!
'... Ready For It?' - Taylor Swift hits the speakers as the house lights go down, switching to a spotlight focused on the curtain. It parts, revealing 'The S-Factor' Scorpio stood behind, a hand on his hip, the other raised above his head, cutting a beautiful silhouette. He sashays forward, a long coat dripping in jewels swaying with every step. Behind him steps Crème de la Crème, Scorpio's drag queen confidant and manager. The two look to one another and nod, before Scorpio opens his coat and drops it to the floor, revealing another stunning outfit. He steps down the ramp with a confident strut, emulating that of the catwalk models of Paris and Milan, before reaching the ring. Scorpio climbs up one set of steps as Crème climbs the other, parting the ropes to allow 'The People's Camp' in. Stepping into the middle of the ring Scorpio raises one arm, and blows a kiss with the other, a smile forming on his beautifully made-up face.
Duggan: Here’s the self proclaimed People’s Champ. He’s been impressing since his EWC debut and tonight he’s taking on an admirable foe in Robbi Mitchell.
Loydson: Don’t you dare speak the goddess’ name Duggan, you are NOT worthy/ Scorpio is going to get the floor mopped with his make=up caked face and Valkyrie is going to walk out with the win like she always should
Martinez: Do you even believe the crap that comes out of your mouth?!
Chriqui: And his opponent… From New Orleans, Louisiana by way of Plant City, Florida and representing The Shieldmaidens … ROBI “VALKYIRE” MITCHELL!!!!!!
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.
Duggan: And the Shieldmaidens are out now, they never travel alone especially when their founder and President is about to scrap.
Loydson: This is going to be over VERY quick folks. The Shieldmaidens aren’t about to let this one get in the way of the celebration they have planned for after Rampage.
The ref, Pierce Patterson, enters the ring and checks wrestlers for contraband before signaling the timekeeper and..
DING DING DING
Scorpio and Robi tie up, collar and elbow but it doesn't last long at Mitchell stomps the foot of Scorpio to get the advantage and immediately hits the ropes and bounces off, using the momentum to land a swinging neck breaker on The People's Champ! Robi with the cover, but Scorpio kicks out at one! Mitchell back to her feet now and grabs Scorpio, shooting him to the ropes. On the bounce back Mitchell goes for a spine buster, but Scorpio is quick to use his momentum to lock the head and turn it into a Tornado DDT! Scorpio gets to his feet but instead of going for a cover, Scorpio stalks Mitchell until she is back to her feet and then lunges at his opponent landing a Superkick! Scorpio shoots the half and goes for the cover...One...Two...KICKOUT! Dugan: Both wrestlers coming out quick tonight! Scorpio seems to have the upper hand right now though, let’s see if he can close the deal!
Loydson: SHUT YOUR MOUTH! The leader of the Shieldmaidens MC is just getting started
Both wrestlers back to their feet now and lock up again, this time Robi wins and sends Scorpio to the ropes then turns, jumps and nails a massive Pele' Kick! The crowd erupts with an "OHHHHH" as Robi follows up quickly with an attempt at the double leg crab she calls MAIDEN'S SHIELD but Scorpio quickly rolls through and to his knees then back to his feet... He rushes in to engage Mitchell again but is thrown with a quick body toss. Scorpio rolls through and back to his feet quickly and then turns into Robi to nail a roundhouse kick out of nowhere! Robi stumbles but is not completely off her feet as she blocks another superkick from Scorpio and then quickly rams her opponent to the ground with a spear!
Loydson: WHAT A SPEAR! It’s over now folks, just you wait!
Martinez: Oh my God, will you shut the hell up and just watch the match!
Mitchell takes a moment to gather herself as she's still just a bit rocked. She sees Scorpio still on the mat near the ropes and a smile crosses her face. She looks to Scorpio, then to the ropes before she quickly exits the ring and onto the apron. She grabs the ropes and waits as Scorpio begins to stir inside. Just as Scorpio is about to his knees, Mitchell takes flight by jumping up and onto the top rope as she goes to deliver the forearm she calls THOR'S HAMMER. Once in the air, however, Scorpio leaps to his feet, into the air and hits the cutter he calls AGR! The crowd explodes as the People's Champ goes for the cover...

DING DING DING
Nickles slid out of the ring and went underneath the ring apron at the start of the match. She produced a black baseball bat with an anarchy symbol engraved on it. Curtis tried to hit a suicide dive out of the ring on Nickles but she hit him with the baseball bat in mid air! Nickles proceeded to hit Curtis over the back with the baseball bat. She then pulled Curtis on top of the announce table, but Curtis caught her out of nowhere with the Keep Quiet that sent them both through the announce table. Curtis pinned Nickles but she kicked out.
Curtis got to his feet, he spied the black baseball bat, picking it up he admired it for a bit before he smashed it over Nickles legs and back a few times as she screamed in agony. Curtis pinned Nickles again but again she kicked out. Curtis seemed to like the fact that she kicked out as he had a big smile on his face. Curtis tried to pick Nickles up to her feet, as he did she tackled him right into the steel steps. Nickles then bashes Curtis’s head off of the steel steps multiple times. She then went back for the baseball bat, and as Curtis leaned against the ring post she swung it at him but he ducked and she crashed the bat off the post. Curtis then hit a t-bone suplex on Nickles straight onto the steel steps. Curtis pinned again but again Nickles kicked out.
Martinez: Georgie Nickles is tough as nails!
As Nickles got into the ring Curtis pulled a table out from underneath the ring and pushed it into the ring, then he pulled a small blue bag from out and placed it in the corner. Once in the ring Curtis setthe table up but he took too long as he turned Nickles caught him with a spear! Nickles pinned but Curtis kicked out. Nickles then climbed out of the ring and collected a steel chair. As Curtis got to his feet Nickles threw chair at him, when he instinctively caught it she super kicked the chair off of his face. Nickles then went for the Ego Breaker but Curtis dodged it and instead he hit Nickles with a German suplex.
Curtis climbed the top turnbuckle and went for a 450 splash but as he hit the move Nickles got her knees up, causing Curtis to crash into them. Nickles rolled Curtis up in a small package and nearly got the three count but Curtis kicked out at the last second. Nickles noticed the blue bag in the corner, she opened it and a smile spread across her face. Nickles then poured the contents of the blue bag all over the table that was set up in the ring earlier. It was hundreds of thumb tacks!
Duggan: Oh my god not the thumb tacks please no!!!!
Nickles picked Curtis up and attempted to suplex him onto the table and the thumbtacks but he reversed the move and instead hit Nickles with a belly to belly suplex. Curtis then locked in the screamer on Nickles. Nickles managed to pull herself to the ropes, once at the ropes. Once at the ropes she pulled herself up and Curtis was faced to break the submission. Nickles then caught Curtis with a roundhouse kick.
Nickles decided it was her turn to go up top, she tried to hit the Carpe Diem but Curtis rolled out of the way and she hit the mat. Curtis then grabbed Nickles and pulled her up onto the table full of thumb tacks with him, once up there Nickles catches Curtis with a vicious headbutt, she then hits the Ego Breaker on him straight onto the thumb tacks and through the table! With both of them covered in thumb tacks, Nickles pins Curtis .....

WENDY "ZOMBIE" STEVENS
VS DOMINIC SANDERS
(NON TITLE)

WENDY "ZOMBIE" STEVENS
VS DOMINIC SANDERS
(NON TITLE)
------------
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles match is scheduled for one fall.... Introducing first... weighing in at 157 pounds... from right here in Brooklyn New York.... WENDY ZOMBIE STEVENS...
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.
Duggan: This could be the match that defines Wendy Stevens EWC career!
Martinez: Indeed, a win against the Undisputed champion would put her right in the mix for the title!
Loydson: I’m sorry but what has the Zombie done to deserve a shot at the champ? Didn’t she get pinned by Annabelle last week?
The lights go out in (arena name). Purple lights cut on around the entrance ramp as "Drop the World" by Lil' Wayne begins playing.
"I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes
Hate in my heart, love in my mind"
Dominic Sanders steps out from the back in a dark purple hoodie and black wrestling tights on, finished by white boots. The EWC Undisputed Championship hangs from his right hand. The hood of his sweatshirt drapes over his eyes as he stands at the top of the ramp. Both members of The Limit follow and flank him on either side as he stands at the top of the ramp and soaks in the boos from the crowd.
"So I pick the world up and I'ma drop it on your fucking head!"
Dominic beats his chest with his left fist and raises the Undisputed Championship in the air with a roar. The crowd boos even louder as he starts to make his way down to the ring. A cocky grin can be seen under the hood of his sweatshirt as he and The Limit walk down the ramp.
Chriqui: Introducing her opponent... from Aledo, Texas. Weighing in at two hundred and seventy pounds... He is the EWC Undisputed Champion! DOMINIIIIC SAAAAANDEEERS!
Sanders rolls underneath the bottom rope and into the ring. He jumps up to his feet and stares out into the unadoring crowd underneath the hood of his sweatshirt, all while holding the Undisputed Championship high in the air. He grins and shakes his head as he moves over to the corner and waits.
Duggan: The champ is back on rampage!
Martinez: And he’s looking to bounce back from a surprise defeat on Brawl.
Loydson: That was a mere blip in what has been an astonishing 2019 for Dominic Sanders.
Toyo Yasahiro enters the ring, checks both competitors for contraband and then signals...
DING DING DING
The fans start up a zombie chant as she is the home town girl as Zombie gets in Sanders face. Sanders laughs at in Zombies face then she suddenly grabs him by the hair and starts laying into his face with elbow shots. Sanders kicks Zombie in the guy and throws her off the ropes, as she comes back at him he picks her up and power slams her. Sanders leans against the ropes and puts his finger up to his lips as he tells the fans to sssshhh. Wendy is back on her feet, she towards Sanders and clothesline’s him over the top rope. Sanders lands on his feet on the outside. Wendy is quick to follow him to outside as she slides out of the ring. Sanders tries to clothesline her, but Zombie ducks under his arm and as he turns around to face her Zombie kicks Sanders in the gut and then hits him with a spike DDT on the outside floor much to the fans delight!
Martinez: I don’t think Zombie is use to this much fan adulation but she is the home town girl!
Zombie picks Sanders up and rolls him into the ring, she follows him. As Zombie gets in the ring Sanders rolls back out the other side, as he leans against the ring steps to recover. Zombie is frustrated at this, she slides back out the ring and runs towards Sanders ready to tackle him. Sanders moves out of the way at the last second and Zombie crashes shoulder first into the ring steps. Sanders hooks his arms around Zombies waist and gives her a belly to belly suplex on the outside. Sanders hoists Zombie up and rolls her into the ring. He follows and quickly pins her, as he does he puts his feet on the ropes for leverage.....

The ref asks Zombie is she wants to quit but she shouts NO! She stretches her leg back and just about manages to get her foot on the bottom ropes. Sanders stands up and tries to drop an elbow on Zombie but she rolls out of the way and he hits the mat. Zombie goes for a running curb stomp but this time Sanders rolls out of the way and gets to his feet. Sanders grabs Zombie from behind and lifts her for a suplex but she catches him with a back elbow to the jaw. As Sanders stumbles back Zombie turns and hits him with a sharp knife edge chop to the chest that can be heard around the around. As Sanders backs into a corner Zombie continues to chop him across the chest as the crowd count along. Zombie lifts Sanders up onto the top turnbuckle, then she climbs up with him. Zombie jumps onto Sanders shoulders for a top rope hurricanrana but Sanders uses his strength to hold her up. Sanders then stands up on the top with Zombie still on shoulders as the crowd gasp he jumps and hits a top rope sitout power bomb from the top rope. The crowd are on there feet applauding the action. Zombie is out cold but Sanders hurt himself aswell as he also lies sprawled out on the mat.
Loydson: A top rope power bomb from our Undisputed champion! That’s pure class right there.
Sanders backs away to the ring ropes as Zombie is still down. Sanders picks Zombie up as he does she catches him off guard with as she lifts him and plants him on the mat with a spine buster! Zombie lies on the mat as she is still recovering from the power bomb, she gets to her knees as she sees Sanders trying to get up.

MAIN EVENT
ANNABELLE
Vs ACE KING
(NON-TITLE INFERNO MATCH)
------------
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, our main event of the evening is a one on one INFERNOOOOO match with a 60 minute time limit, the first person to burn there opponent in the flames wins the match... Introducing first.. From Atlanta Georgia, weighing in at 110 pounds… she is... ANNABELLE!!!
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.
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. She takes a few seconds and slowly steps down from the turnbuckle.
Duggan: Lets us give you some context to this match folks, if Annabelle defeats Ace King tonight then she is the number one contender to Ace’s United States championship.... but if Ace wins then he gets to handpick his next challenger for the title. The stakes for this one are high!
Martinez: I’m sweating already and the flames haven’t even engulfed the ring yet. Annabelle says she’s going to set Ace Kings ass on fire.
Loydson: I hope she doesn’t mean that literally, that sounds painful. This looks like the type of match that Annabelle would enjoy to fair. I bet she plays with fire for fun in her spare time.
Chriqui: AND her Opponent.. Making his way to the ring, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He is the EWC United States championnnnnnn.. THE GAMBLER... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!
"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 Barclays Center . 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.
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 United States 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 Annabelle.
Duggan: There is a long and storied history between Ace King and Annabelle’s husband Luke Wolfe, and that just adds extra spice to this war that’s about to unfold in front of our very eyes!
Loydson: Ace King called Luke Wolfe a false prophet, but Ace should be focusing on is Annabelle.. not Luke.
Martinez: I disagree, Ace King is one hundred and fifty per cent focused on winning this match! There’s nothing more important to him than that United States championship and you better believe he would walk through fire to defend it.
Toyo Yasahiro checks that both competitors are in the ring and away from the ropes, he then gives the signal for the bell to the ring. Just before the bell rings Annabelle slides out of the ring, lifting up the ring apron and reaching underneath, a couple of seconds later she slides back into the ring!
DING DING DING
The bell dings as flames engulf the ring. As Annabelle gets to her feet she pulls her arm from around her back it is revealed that she has a Kendo stick in her hand. Ace King stands still, waiting for Annabelle to make the first move. Instead of charging at Ace, Annabelle turns towards the flames and holds the kendo stick under them. After a moment the top of the stick goes on fire. Annabelle raises the flaming stick in the air with a wicked and sadistic smile on her face as the gasps from the fans can be heard around the arena. Annabelle points the stick towards Ace as he stands perfectly still. After a stand off between the two which feels like it lasts a lifetime Annabelle suddenly launches forward, swinging the flaming stick towards Ace. The flames from the stick miss Aces head by a fraction as he rolls out of the way towards the other side of the ring.
Duggan: MY GOD! Annabelle nearly took Aces head clean off with that flaming Kendo stick! I dread to think of the aftermath of the carnage that we are about to witness here tonight!
Annabelle laughs maniacally as she slowly moves towards Ace with the kendo still on fire. Ace moves from side to side trying to anticipate her next move. Annabelle backs Ace further and further towards the corner of the ring to a point where the flames are almost touching Aces back. Annabelle grins and swings the stick at Aces head, but he ducks it and rolls towards her. As he rolls, Ace swipes Annabelles legs from underneath her and then grabs onto one of her legs and puts her in a single leg Boston crab all in one swift motion. Annabelle drops the kendo stick as she grits her teeth in pain.
Martinez: That’s why Ace King has been the U.S champion for so long, because when he’s backed into a corner he always manages to find way out! He has a never say die spirit!
Ace pulls Annabelle’s leg as far back as he can, applying as much pressure to her back as possible. Annabelle pulls her hair and scratches the mat as she tries desperately to break free of the hold. Ace then quickly lets go of the hold, as he spins around and grabs a hold of her waist, and then with all his strength Ace pulls Annabelle up off the floor and throws her back for a German suplex. Ace gets to his feet and wipes the sweat off of his forehead as Annabelle holds her back in pain. As Ace looks around the ring Annabelle gets to her knees, then she hears a loud cheer erupt from the fans and as she turns around she sees Ace now has the Kendo stick in his hand. Annabelle has a sick smile on her face as she screams at him to hit her. Ace screws his face up in anger as he holds the Kendo stick over her for a moment then he suddenly back off and snaps the Kendo stick over his knee before he throws both parts of it out of the ring. Ace then gestured for Annabelle to come get him with his hand. Annabelle lets out a demeaning scream as she charges at him. Ace throws an arm at her but she slides underneath his legs and comes up behind him. Annabelle grabs Aces head and hits him with a reverse DDT. Annabelle gets to her feet and throws herself for a standing moonsault as she lands on Ace. Annabelle 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚌𝚔 as a flash moves to Aces head, spins him over and locks in a crossface submission!
Martinez: For all of Annabelle’s craziness you often forget that she’s got some moves in that ring! She can go with the best of them.
Annabelle stretches Aces head back as far as she can. Ace tries to use his strength to get to his knees. Annabelle sensing that Ace is about to break free lets go of the submission and unleashes a fury of vicious elbow strikes to the top and back of Aces head. She then quickly locks the crossface back in. One of the elbow strikes seems to have cut Ace open as blood starts to trickle down from the top of Aces head onto his forehead. Annabelle is using all of her stamina and power to get the crossface in as Ace looks to be fading away. As blood runs from Aces head onto her arm, Aces body goes limp so she breaks the hold. Annabelle stands up and stares down at Aces body with a sinister grin plastered on her face. Annabelle rolls Ace over and tries to pick him up when out of nowhere Ace comes to life and catches Annabelle square in the face with a kick.
Duggan: Ace King playing possum there! Smart move but must be a pretty nasty gash on his forehead because the blood is flowing onto his face.
Annabelle stumbles back holding her face as Ace pounces to his feet and charges at her. Ace goes for a clothesline but Annabelle ducks under his arm, as she turns she tries to dropkick Ace but he dodges the move. Then as Annabelle gets up and turns Ace connects with the high roller! Annabelle crumples onto the mat as Ace takes a breather as he tries to wipe the blood away from his head and face as it drips over his eyes. Ace then grabs Annabelles arm and starts to drag her towards the edge of ring and the flames. Just as Annabelle’s arm is about to be burned to a crisp she suddenly reaches up and bites into Aces arm hard. Ace shouts an explicit word loudly as he lets go of Annabelle’s arm and steps back. Annabelle gets to her feet and as Ace comes towards her she dropkicks his legs away from him. Ace falls to his knees and Annabelle grabs him in a headlock and pulls his head dangerously close to the fire. Annabelle slowly pushes Aces face closer and closer to the flames until he’s only inches from getting burned.
Loydson: Well this the end for our U.S champion! After this he’s going have a face like the toxic avenger!
Ace struggles against Annabelle’s push as his bloody face is lit up by the brightness of the flames that are about to melt his face off. Ace tries his hardest to pull away as Annabelle feels him breaking free she jumps on his back and applies a sleeper hold. Ace struggles to shake Annabelle free as the heat and the submission hold start to take affect and he slowly gets worn down. Aces eyes start to drift and he looks like he’s going to fall straight into the fire but he suddenly finds a second wind as he uses all his energy to stand up on one knee and then onto his feet with Annabelle still on his back with the sleeper hold still locked in. Ace wobbles on his feet and at one point nearly collapses straight into the flames. Instead he stumbles back and falls backwards, crushing Annabelle underneath him as she releases the hold. Annabelle and Ace are both on the mat breathing heavy as the fans cheer for both of them.
Ace and Annabelle both get to there knees as they face each other. Annabelle slaps Ace hard in the face. Ace chops her hard across the chest. Then they both grab a hold of each other’s head and start smashing each other with various punches to each other’s face. The fans are on there feet cheering as Annabelle and Ace trade blow after blow, Annabelle smashes Ace with her forearm, Ace uppercuts Annabelle, Annabelle comes back with a headbutt to Ace. Both of them lean against each over looking exhausted. After a brief breather both Annabelle and Ace hold onto each other as they use each other to get to there feet. Annabelle backs off Ace and then tries a bicycle superkick but Ace catches her leg and then pulls her up onto his shoulders. Ace is about to plant Annabelle with a powerbomb when still on his shoulders she suddenly spits the blood mist into Aces face. Ace is blinded as he stumbles forward and plants Annabelle hard on the mat with a sit-out powerbomb.
Martinez: Ace hits the powerbomb on Annabelle but not before she spit the mist his eyes!
Ace falls to his knees as he tries to rub the mist from his eyes but it’s mixing with the blood on his face and he still can’t see properly. Annabelle starts to come around on the mat, she rolls onto her belly and pushes herself to her knees. She sees that Ace is struggling, she pulls herself to her feet and runs towards him. Ace just about manages to see her coming, as she jumps towards him he catches her and back body drops her high in air. Annabelle lands straight on the flames and her legs catch fire!
DING DING DING!!!
Duggan: OH MY GOD! Ace just body dropped Annabelle right into the flames!
Martinez: Jesus Annabelle needs medical attention now!
Loydson: Even I have to admit that was a brutal match! Ace is covered in blood, Annabelle is on fire, dear lord.
Chriqui: The winner of tonight's match winner via setting his opponent on fire (I'll do the time limit).. ACE KINGGGGGGGG!!!
Duggan: Ace King now gets to choose who the next contender to his championship is but at what cost!
Martinez: I wouldn’t be surprised if this match has taken a few years off of both there careers!
Loydson: That was a battle that the rampage fans will never forget.
The fire around the ring is gone now as the medical staff are using the fire extinguisher on Annabelle as she lies on the outside. Ace King is in the corner, breathing heavy with his face covered in red, mist and blood as the ref and other medical staff attend to him.
Loydson: I’m a fire starter, twisted fire starter.... what you don’t like that song? I think it’s appropriate to end the night what that!
Martinez: In all seriousness I Hope both of these competitors are ok, they put on a hell of a main event for us tonight.
Duggan: Congratulations to Ace King. We are out of time now folks, thanks for joining us on another edition of Friday Night Rampage. Goodnight.
The camera zooms in on Ace as he rolls out of the ring with the help of the medical staff and he is handed his U.S title. And we fade to black.
