---------------

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.

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, 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 El Chupacabra stands with a smile and Jesse sits playing on his phone.

Duggan: A touching tribute to start the show, Rest in Peace Aston Drake. You were one hell of a guy and we all miss ya. 

Martinez: Only wish I could have been in the EWC when he was going strong. 

Duggan: He was incredible. Folks we have a stacked lineup of matches to come, don't go anywhere.

[FN'R]

There is a crackle of thunder, and the crowd ERUPTS with a mixed reaction, 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; He throws his hood off his head and gazes out into the crowd. 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.

Wolfe steps into the ring with a smirk on his face, as he takes the mic from ringside. Walking to the middle of the ring, his smirk grows as he raises up the mic to speak.

Luke: Wow, have things really escalated quickly in the past few days. First thing’s first. Imagine my surprise when I tuned into Monday Night Brawl and I saw the Undisputed Champion come out to the ring and talk shit about my wife and I. He comes out on Monday Night, and he calls my name, but he only does it, when he is a place he knows I’m not going to be. He not only spit on the second prophecy and that Ace King will be the hero to lift the darkness that currently shadows over this company. But… because I haven’t spoken about our reigning Undisputed Champion, he came out and made sure that we all remember that he currently holds that belt. So… it appears that I committed the capitol offense of hurtin his feelings…

The crowd erupts into rounds of laughter, as Luke can’t help but laugh along with them.

Luke: See… Mr. Sanders, while you are certainly part of the problem, you are far from the only one. See, you seem to have no idea how prophecies work. I don’t choose what is going to come to pass, I only pass along the visions that I see. And I don’t remember ever mentioning that YOU will have anything to do with Ace King becoming Undisputed Champion. Or… maybe it does... and you’re just not important enough to worry about.

The crowd ERUPTS through the building, at the thought of Dominic Sanders losing the Undisputed Champion.

Luke: Then you felt you had to build yourself up, and talk about how you have been all over the EWC. Traveling across the board to every brand to show that every color under the sun, every ring is your ring. While it’s certainly impressive that you have brought the Undisputed Championship to every brand, you seem to believe that you’re the first person to do it. Mr. Sanders, you don’t know your history! Because that belt has traveled to all brands, but the first person to do it… Is not YOU…

Luke says with a smirk on his face.

Luke: See, LOOOOONG before you were even relevant in this company. I won the Undisputed Championship on the biggest stage of them all, in the main event at Stranglemania! I completed the grand slam, in my home town of Atlanta! And… the very person who you said would never show himself on any other brand… was the first person to EVER take that belt on world tour.

“WOLFE!!!”

“WOLFE!!!”

“WOLFE!!!”

“WOLFE!!!”

Luke: But see, the difference between me and you, is I did it to giver EVERYONE… on EVERY brand a chance to prove themselves! A chance to show the world what they were capable of! A chance to show that they are capable of being the best in the world! You… Travel to all the brands so you can cast a shadow over the entire EWC, and lay claim to every brand, so you can walk out to the ring, and say that every ring, on every brand belongs to you. And that shadow you cast over the EWC, is the start of the permanent darkness that will cover this company. The very thing that brought me back to the company. Now let me be the first to tell you, that you don’t own this ring, THIS… is the house that LUKE WOLFE built!

“YYYYEEEAAAHHHH!!!”

Luke: And after I spent years carrying this brand on my back, waving the Rampage flag, and brought it back to dominance… I walked away. And then a locker room full of young talent stepped up! Talent, that have made me, and each and every one of these fans who chant “FNR” proud!

“FNR!!!”

“FNR!!!”

“FNR!!!”

Luke: Now, you may have taken that belt to every brand, but it’s the people back there in that locker room that make each and every brand in this company! It is those people who are the heartbeat, and while there is no doubt that you have been on an impressive streak as of late, no one man will EVER be bigger than this sport! THAT, is something that Ace King taught ME! And it doesn’t matter how many chances Ace has had in the past, his time is coming… It’s coming, I’ve seen it. But that decision isn’t up to me, it’s a premonition, a vision of the future that will come to pass, I don’t make these decisions, I am the one who tells you all what will happen before it does.

Pausing for a moment, Luke takes a deep breath.

Luke: Now, it’s come to my attention… that not even a week after I made a challenge to Hope Diamond… not even seven days after I told her that I would leave nothing left of her… make her pay for her sins, and end her career. She managed to negotiate her release from this company, and plans on hanging up the boots for good. Now... Why do you suppose that is?

Pausing for just a moment, Luke continues.

Luke: So my schedule has opened up for Hardcore Revolution. My return to the ring, may be put off for a while longer, because like I said before, if I was going to step back into the ring and compete again, it needed to be for something important. Dominic Sanders, I don't have any interest in the Undisputed Championship, I have nothing left to prove. BUT... unlike you… I have respect for this business, I have respect for the EWC, and I have respect for that locker room! Now, as much as I would like to carve you up and serve you up to Ace King, I know there is a line full of wrestlers in the back, on every single brand that deserves a shot at at that title at Hardcore Revolution. So I’m sure you will have a full schedule for the Pay-Per-View. But... if you are looking for a fight… If you are looking to make a name for yourself against one of the best wrestlers to ever grace an EWC ring… I’m not hard to find!

The crowd ERUPTS once again!

Luke: And they looked to the sky, and behold they heard the sound of thunder… and there was a voice, that roared above the clouds, and it said… come and see!

Wolfe drops the mic, as “Seek and Destroy” hits as we head to the next segment.

Match #1
Alpha Wolf
Vs Colton Cooper
Vs Dr. Psycho
(No DQ Triple Threat)
(25 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Peirce Patterson)
---

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following triple threat match is set for one fall and has a 25 minute time limitt. Introducing first... making his way to the ring accompanied to the ring by his wife Annabelle Gatner from Albuquerque New Mexico standing six feet seven inches and weighing in at two hundred sixty-five pounds he is the American Alpha Wolf ADAM GATNER!!!

Of Wolf and Man by Metallica plays and Adam and Annabelle comes to the ramp and Adam howls like a wolf and the fans howl back. They come down the aisle and they five the fans and Adam lowers the ropes for Annabelle and she enters the ring. Adam then enters the ring and climbs the turnbuckles and howls again and the fans again howls with them.

Duggan: Alpha Wolf hasn’t had the most luck as of late, but he’s looking to turn that all around tonight with a big win over two very formidable adversaries.

Martinez: He’s in a slump, but I think you can never count out Alpha Wolf.

Loydson: Fucking kid just needs to take a hike.

Chriqui: And his opponent… From the open rode, he is Big Cab.. Colton Cooper!

“Black sunshine sounds off as Colton emerges from the back to a large pop. He wastes no time as he heads to the ring, eyeballing Alpha Wolf the whole time.

Duggan: Big Cab came up just short against Scorpio last FN’R, and no he’s looking to rebound and hit harder than a runaway eighteen wheeler.

Martinez: Coming into this match I’d definitely say Colton is the favorite, after all, he took Scorpio to his absolute limit last FN’R.

Loydson: This kid is a bushy beard and that’s it. Should go do beard butter commercials

Chriqui: And their opponent…

The Lights in the Arena Darken as the beginning Guitar riff of "I Don't Wanna Stop" by Ozzy Osborne hits the speakers and the Mac Tron Plays the stage lights at the ramp flash and strobe in an eerie green color.

Chriqui:From Baltimore Maryland Standing 5 Feet 9 Inches Tall Weighing in at 200 Lbs He is the Surgeon of the Squared Circle: DOCTOOOOR PSYYYYCHO!!!

As the song continues to play Dr.Psycho rises up from the Stage his back facing us from amid a fog and slowly turns around revealing his face from behind a plague doctor mask with top hat and cane wearing a black cape. he makes a slow march to the ring stepping over the ropes and sitting in a random corner and awaiting his opponent.

Duggan: This man, he could certainly be the sleeper of this match.

Martinez: I’d have to agree Duggan. If he can hit that Psycho Driver, it's all over.

Peirce Patterson enters the ring, before signaling the timekeeper...

DING DING DING

With the bell Dr. Psycho rushes towards Alpha Wolf with a mighty spear in the corner! Dr. Psycho gets to his feet and turns towards Big Cab but is send backwards over the top rope as Cab blasts into him with a clothesline! Colton grabs Alpha by the hair pulls him up to his feet before leveling him with a stiff right hand! The knuckles-meets-jawbone impact could be heard across the arena. Colton then slid out of the ring and spent a few minutes working over Dr. Psycho. Most of that time was working over his leg, perhaps getting him ready for a Trucker Hitch, but along came Alpha Wolf to spoil the fun as he leaped from the apron into a double ax-handle that took Cab down.

Duggan: Alpha Wolf is coming back in this one!

Big Cab was getting to his feet but a big boot from Alpha stunned him long enough for Alpha to dive under the ring, emerging with steel chair! Psycho ate the first shot and was instantly down, Alpha landed another hot shot to Psycho’s back before breaking the chair over Cab’s head! Alpha is fired up! Wolf slid Cab back into the ring, but Cab kicked out fast. Alpha mounted Cab and landed a series of haymakers before pulling Cab up into a clothesline, and then more haymakers.

Martinez: I told you to never count this man out, Alpha Wolf is on fire!

Alpha Wolf let out a howl to his fans but was blindsided by Psycho with a kendo stick! WHACKs and CRACKs rang out as Psycho rained down on Alpha Wolf! Big Cab rolled out of the ring to catch a breather while inside begins running through his move set on Alpha, there’s neck claps and a Lou Thez, quickly pulled into a flying spin kick! Dr. Psycho was coming back in this one, but wait… Cab rushes in and almost takes Dr. Psycho’s head off with The Full Monty! Big Cab is leaning in to pin Pyscho but Alpha is getting up! Big Cab rushes into Alpha with a Roadkill big boot that knocks him backwards into the ropes, Alpha stumbles forward and is flipped up and dropped down into a Colt .45 with a pin!

ONE!

.
.
.

TWO!!

.
.
.

THREE!!!

DING DING DING!!!

Chriqui: And the winner via pinfall at 12:50... Big Cab Colton Cooper!

Duggan: Both Alpha Wolf and Dr. Psycho tried to take this one but in the end Colton just wanted it too much!

Colton rolls out of the ring and raises his hand high while Dr. Psycho looks at him with a snare on his face. Medical staff check up on Alpha Wolf fade too... 

[FN'R]

MATCH #2
Adrian Blackthorne Vs
Becca "Bruiser" Rogers
(Singles Match)
(25 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
------------

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles match is set for one fall and has a 25 minute time limit. Introducing first. Making his way to the ring weighing in at two hundred and forty-six pounds, he is "The Daywalker" Adrian Blackthorne!

After the first 'Mitternacht' is uttered at the 5 second mark, the lights go completely dark. When the second is declared at the 22-23 second mark, fog spreads out from behind the curtains. Thanya emerges, flanked by four cloaked figures who slowly walk down the ramp. At each corner, the hooded people are shown holding and carrying onto one of the corners belonging to a solid black, closed casket.

All the while, Thanya ignores the audience completely, regardless of whether they react positively or negatively to her.

The coffin is set beside the apron, resting atop a preset table that was put there before the match started. By the time the coffin is laid down, the song has typically reached the 55-56 second mark of the song.

Wordlessly, she opens the coffin. "The Daywalker" Adrian Blackthorne sits up, revealing himself to the audience as well as his opponent. The camera zooms in and shows that there is a bit of dirt within the casket.

Thanya climbs up on the apron and pulls the ropes apart, allowing her Master to enter the ring. Thanya then proceeds to stand near the ring while Adrian waits in one of the corners for his opponent, also tending to ignore the crowd.

Duggan: Adrian is making his FN'R In-Ring debut tonight and he is looking pumped!

Loydson: I don't know what it is about this kid, but I'm pumped too!

Chriqui: And his opponent..

The lights dim as opening to “The Animal” by Disturbed begins to play through the PA system, a thin layer of fog begins to cover the entrance stage and ramp when a dark blue spotlight shines down on a kneeling hooded figure looking down to the floor. As the song kicks into full swing, the figure pops up, flicking the hood back from off her head to reveal Becca “Bruiser” Rogers with the bottom half of her face covered with a face mask and she makes an “M” shape with her hands to signify the Shieldmaidens.

Chriqui: Making her way to the ring, from Asheville, North Carolina! Representing The Shieldmaidens! Becca “Bruiser” Rogers!

Rogers begins to slowly and methodically make her way down the ramp, focusing on nothing but the ring in front of her. Once she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she slides into the ring and while staying on her hands and knees, she scoots over to the center before making the “M” shape with her hands again and then slowly stands to her feet while removing the face mask, revealing a snarl across her face as “The Animal” fades out.

Duggan: Becca hasn't had the most luck on FN'R when it comes to picking up wins, but in the ass kicking department she's chewed a lot of bubble gum if you catch my drift.

Martinez: Honestly Duggan, no one does!

Mike Michaelson enters the ring and checks wrestlers for contraband and in an interesting move tells Thayna she must leave ringside. They wait for Thayna to follow instructions before signaling the timekeeper and.. 

DING DING DING

This one is a battle of two evils as both competitors lock eyes within the center of the ring, it doesn’t take long until this match gets violent with Bruiser being shoved off her feet and then almost instantly kicking “The Daywalker” in his knee. Bruiser makes it clear from the jump she’s not playing around. Adrian takes the early advantage due to his sheer height and weight advantage, tossing Rogers around like an empty tin can trapped in a hurricane. Adrian grabs Becca by the hair and yanks her into a hard slap around her chest, and he wasn’t done there as he pulled her up straight and chopped her chest and neck raw. Adrian was done with his fun and shoved her back into the corner before punching Bruiser right in the throat! Next came a GTS, followed immediately by a chokeslam with a cover. Despite the punishment taken, Roger’s kicked out strong at two before spitting some blood onto Adrian. This put a smile on Adrian’s face but also left that face open to a knife-edged chop right into his throat! The big back stumbled back and Bruiser got to her feet before rushing to a spear! But no! Adrian caught the spear and flipped up into a powerbomb position… but she fought back, and was able to swing around into a DDT that dropped Psycho right on his head!

Bruiser knew now was her moment as she got to her feet, Bruiser stumbled to a corner and taunted Adrian, yelling at him to get up! Adrian got to one knee and Bruiser rushed at him and leaped into a Freedom Punch that almost shattered Blackthorne's jaw! Becca Rogers screamed in triumph as she began to pull Adrian up, perhaps looking for the Kickstarter but Adrian as he quickly raised his head up into a uppercut under Roger’s chin! Roger’s was stunned and helpless as Adrian grabbed her leg and pulled her off his feet, Adrian stomped down on Roger’s ankle and there was an audible pop but Adrian didn’t stop as he locked on a tight ankle lock! Roger’s screamed in pain and the Mike Michaelson tried to break the hold but Adrian just laughed in his face and then twisted Roger’s ankle to a sickening degree, Roger’s face went pale and she stopped screaming, her leg numb. Andrian dropped the ankle and stomped down repeatedly before turning his attention to her knee, Adrian stomped her knee and lifted her leg up into a leg DDT. Becca wasn’t even fighting the pain anymore, Adrian got to his feet and kept stomping Becca’s knee before turning his face to stomps aimed at her face. Mike Michaelson finally called for the bell, perhaps he knew of Becca’s previous knee injuries and was seeking payback for the Shieldmaidens debut assault… nevertheless, the match was over. 

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, you winner via referee stoppage at 12:50... Adrian Blackthorne!

Duggan: That one ended nasty and we all hope Becca Roger is ok. I know first hand what it feels like to be taken out like that. 

Martinez: Indeed, I don't agree with the shieldmaidens nor their strategy but I hope Mr. Roger's isnt too badly injured. 

Adrian stood tall while the medic’s checked Becca. Becca’s sisters rushed to the ring, some attempted to follow Andrian as he left through the crowd but they quickly turned to their fallen sister. The camera fades to...

[FN'R]

As Blackthorne and Thanya stare coldly out at the crowd following their victory, the crowd cheers boisterously as Ace King, looking unusually sombre, strides through the Toyota Center’s backstage area with the United States Championship nestled perfectly on his shoulder. As he rounds a corner to go down another hallway, he’s less than impressed to find himself staring at EWC interviewer Brian Spade.

Brian Spade: Ace, a quick word about tonight’s match, and its possible ramifications?

The United States Champion looks at Spade, then buries his tongue in his bottom lip for a moment before relenting.

Ace King: ...Alright, if it’s quick.

Brian Spade: Ace, it’s obviously a big match tonight as you and Cyrus Black take on ReBelle, so how do you assess your odds as an untested duo?

‘The Gambler’ exhales heavily through his bottom lip; it’s clear he’s still got something on his mind as he returns his attention to Spade.

Ace King: Before we go there, I have to get something off my chest… Every single person in EWC was rocked by the sudden passing of one Ashton Drake, and my condolences to everyone affected.

There’s respectful applause from the Houston crowd, and Ace remains silent for a minute to let them cheer, briefly looking away to regain his composure.

Ace King: Drake reinforced two key beliefs for me: Fight like hell for everything you can get your hands on, and that anything is possible if you believe in yourself. That ethos is embodied in the hearts and minds of ReBelle, because both Georgie and Scorpio are relentless between the ropes, so I’m looking straight ahead. Now, to answer your question, I wouldn’t presume to speak for my partner, but from what I’ve sen, I think he-

Ace’s voice trails off as the camera zooms out, and the crowd cheers again as none other than International Champion Cyrus Black appears, leaving Ace somewhat amused.

Cyrus Black: Howdy partner.... so this is Rampage. Prettttttyy sweet set up you got going on here.

Brian Spade: Cyrus, I was just asking Ace how do you guys assess your...

Cyrus cuts Spade off mid-sentence.

Cyrus Black: Let me stop you right there Brian. Let’s address the elephant in the room, shall we? I know that everyone is wondering whether myself and Ace can co-exist tonight given that in four days time on BRAWL we will be in opposite corners, and we’ll have to lock horns and do battle like the two handsome, chiseled, hairy, sweaty warriors that we are... and the truth is... it isn’t an ideal situation that we’ve been put in. Partners one day, opponents the next... but trust me when I tell you that if I had been allowed to hand pick my partner for tonight then I would most definitely... have picked Nevaeh from over on PRIME and THEN if she wasn’t available Ace King would be my second choice without a doubt...

Cyrus shrugs his shoulders as Ace shakes his head.

Cyrus Black: What... dude she’s really hot... anyway the point is, that this is my Rampage debut and I’m going up against perhaps the top tag team in the EWC today.... ReBelle... they are on fire right now. Scorpio and Georgie Nickles are nobody’s fools. So if I’m going to find a way to win this match tonight I need a partner I can count on... and thankfully I’ve got one. Ace is the most professional man in the EWC today, and I don’t want Dominic Sanders to pee his pants when I say this but Ace is also in my opinion the uncrowned undisputed top guy in the entire company at this moment and time. I trust him one hundred per cent to have my back when we step through those ropes tonight.

Ace is about to reply to Cyrus when something off camera catches his attention. As Cyrus turns to see what he’s looking at, the camera pans down the hallway to see Xavier Reid slowly approaching them both.

Xavier Reid: And why wouldn’t you? Ace isn’t about to risk win number 51 here tonight just to jump you and send you into Monday night’s match less than 100%...he’s not that kind of guy...howdy to you partner…

Xavier smiles as he puts his arm around Cyrus and looks over at Ace.

Xavier Reid: Fancy running into you boys here…

Brian Spade: Xavier, you knew they were teaming up tonight here on Rampage, it wasn’t some close kept secret…

Xavier Reid: Yeah I knew Brian...that’s why I’m here, to make sure Cyrus isn’t infected by the Green Brand or Ace doesn’t try to turn his allegiance here tonight because as you guys have pointed out, YOU ARE OPPONENTS IN 3 DAYS TIME and Cyrus this man right here is going to try and cost you your chance to name the stipulation for your International Championship match, he’s going to try and take that away from you just so he can add yet another win to his total...that’s the kind of ‘partner’ he is but me, well I’LL HAVE YOUR BACK...both here tonight on Rampage and come Monday Night at Brawl...because we bleed ‘RED’...

Ace appears more amused by Reid's interjection than anything else, raising an eyebrow toward his Hardcore Revolution opponent.

Ace King: Good to know you know how healthy competition works… Don't worry, though, because I'll make sure you have a partner who gets to Los Angeles in one piece, because beyond the exterior, he knows ReBelle is more than capable of making sure neither of us make it to Monday, if they wanted to, just as you also could...

The United States Champion's expression hardens a bit as his demeanour toward Reid turns more serious.

Ace King: Come to think of it, I'm sure you'd just love the chance to get a good shot in ahead of Hardcore Revolution, wouldn't you, Xavier? You'd love to get any advantage you possibly can... But I think you know me well enough by now to know that's not front and centre on my radar. I'm in the here and now, so yes, we may be opponents a few days from now, but we're partners tonight, and if there's one thing a pair of Nevada boys know how to do, it's to raise our game when the stakes get higher.

As Xavier and Ace stare each other down, Cyrus, sensing the tension between the two steps in-between them.

Cyrus Black: Soooo yeh this is fun... ohh.. uhhh is that the time? Xavier, thanks for the... support I guess? I hope you enjoy the main event partner number two!

Cyrus pats Xavier on the back before he turns to Ace.

Cyrus Black: Ok partner numero uno! I’ll see you out there.... ONE... TWO... THREE... gooooooo Nevada Knights....

Cyrus clenches his first and extends it towards Ace, hoping for a bump back but Ace seemingly doesn't even register this as his eyes are transfixed on Xavier. After an awkward silence Cyrus withdraws the fist bump as he pats Ace on the back and hurries off down the hallway leaving Xavier and Ace to it.

Xavier Reid: Good luck tonight ‘partner’...

Xavier smiles, his eyes never having left Ace.

Xavier Reid: And as for you, shockingly you once again only seeing the worst in me aren’t you Ace? Nothing has changed but once again you have it all wrong, Ace I want you at your best, I don’t want there to be any excuses after Hardcore Revolution, I don’t want there to be any asterisk when I take that championship off you and end this 500 plus day title run...I’m not about to cheapen it for myself Ace so trust me when I say this, you are as safe as it comes to me, I’m not here to soften you up and take out a knee...I’m just here to make sure YOU make it out of here on one piece buddy...good luck out there tonight...I’m pulling for you.

Xavier’s smile widens as Ace remains stoic, though a smirk briefly crosses the United States Champion’s face before he nods and heads off after Black, leaving Reid on his own as the feed cuts to… (next segment / match)

MATCH #3
Archer Barrett Vs
Silas Isaac Naberius
(Tables Match)
(30 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
------------

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following tables match has a 30 minute time limit. Introducing first.

The generic white lights coating the arena immediately transform into several variations of violet, crimson, and midnight blue tones. The darkened colored lights flicker and continue to shower the heads of the audience members. Sporadic hoots and hollers are heard as fans begin realizing who's preparing to grace them with his presence.

'Whiskey in the Jar' by Metallica begins to play. The hard guitar riff pounds through the sound system at a near deafening volume and is met with an equally deafening roar from those in attendance.

Chriqui: Making his way to the ring weighing in at two hundred thirty-three pounds and hailing from Boulder, Colorado ...

The announcer deliberately pauses for a moment to add a layer of dramatic flair and times the musical post.

Chriqui: It's the Straight Shooter. He is Archer Barrett!

Barrett aggressively pushes aside the curtains and enters the arena with a familiar look of purpose. Focused primarily on the objective, he intentionally aims his strut down the middle of the aisle to avoid high fives and handshakes from both sides of the guardrails.

A slight smile can be seen forming at the corner of his mouth as he arrives to center stage and ascends the steel steps. He maneuvers himself between the ropes and commences with his ritual of crouching beside the nearest corner. All the fans receive in return for their cheers is a mere head nod from Barrett. It's quick enough that no one blinks to ensure they witness his acknowledgement.

Barrett extends his chest and rolls his shoulders to stretch the muscles. He closes his eyes, anticipates the sound of the bell, and prepares for battle.

Chriqui: And his opponent..

The lights suddenly go out, plunging the arena into darkness. 'Sympathy For The Devil' by The Rolling Stones begins to play and, after a short wait, a spotlight floods the entrance way revealing a black-clad
man. He slowly turns around, raising his head and tilting the brim of his Panama hat up to reveal himself as Silas Isaac Naberius. He looks around the arena, twirling his cane in hand, and begins to make his way down the ramp.

Chriqui: Making his way to the ring... residing in Whitechapel, London, England, weighing 167 lbs... Silas Isaac Naberius!

He climbs the ring steps and takes a moment to look over the crowd, his gaze passing over the front rows before him, then takes off his hat and places it on the ring post and his cane on the top turnbuckle. He steps
between the ropes and walks around the ring, still inspecting the crowd, before finally settling into his corner.

Duggan: I have been looking forward to this one all night... Let's get it on!

Martinez: You and me both. Tables Matches!

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

DING DING DING

This one would get aggressive quick as Silas and Archer met in the center, locked up in an intensive tie-up, the fans cheered for Archer and jeered whenever Silas appeared to take a lead. The crowd was especially disgusted as Silas raised his knee dangerously close to Archet’s groin in order to take a back! Silas slid on a chokehold and dragged back before spinning Archer around onto the ropes. Silas began to push Archer against the top rope, choking him with malicious intent! Mike Michaelson was powerless to stop in within this no DQ tables match! Archer was fading fast but the crafty rookie mule kicked backwards shoving Silas off. Silas rushed in, arms raised towards Archer’s face but Archer ducked the hands and took-a-back before raising Silas up onto his shoulder and dropping him hard on his knee with an atomic drop! Archer took a second for a much needed breather before pulling the rising Silas close into a bearhug and flipping him around into a belly-to-belly suplex! The crowd popped big time at that and their roars got louder as Archer hit a legdrop followed by a side-headlock that he used to pull Silas up into a short-arm clothesline with another legdrop soon after. Archer stood and went to exit the ring but Silas grabbed his leg and tripped him up! Silas leaped onto Archer and bit down on the back of his head, the crowd screamed with boos, Silas raised his head and spit blood and hair, he’d broken skin! Silas begin to slam Archer’s head into the canvas, not once, not twice, not even three times but four times! Archer’s face was a crimson mask. Silas got up quickly and stopping to stomp Archer’s back before quickly exiting the ring to retrieve a table.

Silas dives under the ring but doesn’t come out with a table, instead he’s got a freaking monkey wrench! Silas rolls into the ring and cackles like an insane person before swinging the wrench with all his might and crashing it into Archer’s lower back! It’s clear Silas is here to end Archer Barrett’s career! Silas raising the wrench again but Archer rolls out of the way, rolling out of the ring. Archer tries to stand outside but his back gives out, Silas laughs and drops the wrench before mocking the crowds while they boo.

“FUCK YOU SILAS…. FUCK YOU SILAS… FUCK YOU SILAS”

Silas soaks in the jeefs for a few moments before exiting the ring and putting the boots to Archer again. There are stomps, soccer kicks and even a few punches thrown at Archer by Silas. After several minutes Silas finally backs up and grabs a table. He sets it up and then gives Archer another kick to the ribs to be safe before pulling him up about knee level… perhaps looking for For Whom The Bell Tolls but Archer uses possible all of his remaining energy to shove Silas backwards. Archer rolls up under the ring and a few moments later emerges on the other side, seeking a breather.

Silas smiles and makes his way to Archer, but as he rounds the corner he’s caught off guard as Archer lifts a fire extinguisher and blast’s Silas with a stream of foam! Silas is gasping for breath as Archer uses the barricide the stand, and then limps over to Silas shooting even more foam! Silas can’t breath, Archer leans back against the apron and sets the extinguisher on the arpon before dropping to a knee. He reaches up under the ring and gets a table, setting it up rather quickly. Silas is back up and stumbling towards Archer, hands still clenched around his throat as though he can’t breath. Archer leans in a whacks Silas with the extinguisher before quickly hitting one of the best hip-tosses the EWC had ever seen and sending Silas crashing through the table! The bell rings! Archer did it!

Medical staff are over fast to check both men and to clean off Silas’ face, but Silas shoves them away as he makes it to his feet and glares at Archer. Silas looks disgusted as he heads up the rant, both hands still around his own throat as he coughs, looking for relief. Archer accepts the medical help before cheering with the crowd.

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, you winner via table break at 25:30... Archer Barrett!

Duggan: What a match! What a match! 

Martinez: Barrett and Silas threw everything they had at each other, what a match indeed!

Loydson: Meh, this is a tables match... Fucker used a fire extinguisher. He cheated!

[FN'R]

Martinez: Lets head backstage where I’m told Brian is standing by with one half of tonight’s main event…

The scene opens to the interview section and a mild cheer goes up as Brian Spade is stood in front of the camera. He smiles as he raises his microphone and waits for the crowd to calm down before speaking.

Brian Spade: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the number-one contenders to the EWC World Tag Team Championships… ReBelle!

A larger cheer goes up as the camera pulls back revealing Georgie Nickles and Scorpio stood to Brian’s side. The S-Factor is dolled up with glitter and feathers, pulling various vogue-like poses, whilst Nickles is dressed ready for the main event and looks focused. In her hands is the briefcase pulled down at Stranglemania, the glittering anarchy logo displayed on its front.

Brian Spade: Now ReBelle, you’ve been making waves through the Rampage roster, and have come out of it with a shot at the big time. Tonight however you’re coming up against what quite frankly has to be your biggest challenge to date, in Ace King and Cyrus Black. The United States Champion and The International Champion are going to be formidable opponents… what are your thoughts?

Nickles nods her head before leaning into the microphone.

Georgie Nickles: Oh absolutely. My history with Ace King has been played out for these crowds to see time and time again… I know what he can do, I know all too well how hard he hits. Getting to take him on again, this time with The People’s Camp by my side, will be a hell of a challenge and an absolute pleasure. As for Cyrus Black, well he and Scorpio tied as MVPs of Thunder II, he’s a man taking the EWC by storm, and we’re sure as hell looking forward to taking him on.

Brian Spade: And Scorpio, so far you’re 8 and 0 undefeated across singles and tag team competition here in the EWC. Some are saying tonight’s the night that streak ends, taking on two of the best out there. How’re you feeling?

The S-Factor remains quiet for a moment, before he lowers his sparkling sunglasses and looks Spade in the eye.

Scorpio: Some out there have called my undefeated streak ‘lucky’. Others have claimed it only exist because I’ve taken on ‘easy’ opponents. Regardless of what crap comes tumbling out of people’s mouths, I’ve fought my ass off since arriving in the EWC, and no matter what happens tonight I’ll gladly carry on doing just that. I’ll hold my hands up and say I’m yet to face a challenge in the EWC quite like Ace and Cyrus, I fully concede that the streak is in the biggest danger it’s ever been… and if it ends tonight, well, c’est la vie. It’s been a beautiful run. But it doesn’t change a damn thing about what I or ReBelle have achieved during our time here on Rampage. In just four months I’ve gone from newcomer to number one contender; in our first match as a team ReBelle won the chance to compete for the World Tag Team Championships and name the stipulation. We’re here to prove ours will be a lasting legacy…

Brian Spade: Speaking of that match, have you chosen a stipulation?

Georgie Nickles: We’ve got some ideas Brian… it may be worth seeing what happens on Monday…

Scorpio: Until then though; has anyone actually seen Shock and Awe? Because we’ve been searching high and low and well…

He and Georgie feign looking around themselves, before Scorpio bends down to a bag at his feet and pulls out a shocking pink deerstalker hat and a bejewelled magnifying glass. He peers through the magnifying glass as Nickles raises an inquisitive eyebrow.

Scorpio: Even serving Sherlock Holmes realness we’re yet to find any hint of the EWC World Tag Team Champions on Rampage… or Brawl… or Prime… or FSW…

Georgie Nickles: I mean, this is the team that Shocked and Awed the world, the team that ended NSFW’s legendary reign! And yet… well…

Both members of ReBelle shrug their shoulders.

Georgie Nickles: They appear to have Scampered and Absconded more than Shocked and Awed. Don’t get us wrong, we’re very flattered that the mere chance of facing ReBelle has potentially scared Curtis and Freya off… but also… we’d really like to wrestle a solid match and win those titles?

Nickles this time crouches down and reaches into the bag, this time pulling out a pile of papers. She turns them to the camera, showing the word ‘MISSING’ across the top, with an image below…

Scorpio: Please… if you’ve got any information about the whereabouts of Shock and Awe, we’d be grateful for any information. Think you saw Curtis Mars in the canteen queue? Reckon you spotted Freya Hobs getting onto a bus outside the arena? We’re pleading for anything… Freya, Curtis, if you’re watching this… just come home. Nobody’s angry at you, nobody’s upset. We just want you safe. And your Tag Team Championships. Alright fine, it’s the latter…

Georgie Nickles: Alas though, if we don’t see you before, we’ll sure as hell see you at Hardcore Revolution… where we can promise you, you’ll become just another pair of casualties for our cause…

Scorpio: … and it will be truly fabulous!

There’s a cheer for ReBelle’s combined catchphrase as Nickles and Scorpio both give a respectful nod towards Brian, before they head off up the corridor. Nickles begins to throw some of the missing posters throughout the backstage area while Scorpio hands them to passing wrestlers, camera crew, and technicians alike.

Duggan: Well ReBelle have laid down two gauntlets tonight… in the main event they’ll be giving a game fight to the combined might of Ace King and Cyrus Black… and at Hardcore Revolution they’ll be taking on Shock and Awe for the Tag Team Championships!

Martinez: If indeed Shock and Awe show up, they’ve been missing for weeks now, and it’s delaying us finding out what the match will be! What do you think it’s gonna be? A steel cage? A ladder match, like the one they won the contendership in?

Loydson: If that pair of crackpots are anything to go by it’ll probably be bra and panties…

MATCH #4
Chris Mosh Vs
Jonathon Thomas Cross
(Singles Match)
(30 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Peirce Patterson)
------------

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles match is set for one fall and has a 30 minute time limit. Introducing first. 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

Chriqui: And his opponent.. JTC... Jonathan Cross!

"'Legendary' by Skillet hits the pa system as the lights goes out and and a white spotlight shines on the center of the ramp.

JTC comes walking out smiling into the center of the spotlight. He gives a cocky smile as the fans are cheering JTC..JTC..JTC. As he walks down the ramp and slides in the ring.

Duggan: This one is going to be very interesting. JTC is making his return and Mosh has said he's going to break JTC!

Pierce Patterson enters the ring and checks wrestlers for contraband before signaling the timekeeper and..

DING DING DING

Cross Vs Mosh, too extremely confident wrestlers in the clash to see just who is the better man. This one has all the makings of a instant classic right out of the gate as Cross goes for the Knockout Kick and Mosh follows up with an attempted Mosh Pit. They both instantly lock up but the tie-up quickly fades into a series of back and forth punches, neither man is willing to let the other man outshine him! Pierce Patterson tries to break it up but is shoved down in the crossfire! Mosh and Cross lung into each other and are both knocked down via a double clothesline! Mosh is the first to his feet and with Peirce still down he kicks JTC square the groin before jamming a thumb into his eye! JTC lets out an agonizing groan while Mosh locks on a neck crank and begins to restrict his air flow! JTC is full of fight and gets out of the hold but as soon as he gets to his knees Mosh pulls him up into a side-headlock that’s quickly lifted up and dropped into a brainbuster! Mosh has taken control of this one!

Cross wasn’t done though as he fought up to his legs and then landed a quick snap DDT! Mosh is getting to his feet but eats a superkick to the back of his head! It’s the Knockout Kick! But JTC doesn’t go for the cover yet, he drags Mosh up and pulls Mosh in for a quick snap suplex. JTC floats over for the cover but Mosh has a leg under the ropes. JTC pulls Mosh to the center of the ring and brings him up about knee level before kneeing him right between the eyes and then rolling forward behind Mosh. JTC taunts with the crowd before immediately exploding forward into another Knockout Kick delivered to the back of Mosh’s head. Without any hesitation Cross covers.

Jonathan Cross celebrates with the fans on the outside while trying to catch his breath. Mosh rolls out of the ring and wears a look of anger on his face. Mosh kicks a ref on his way up the ramp to the back.

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, you winner via pinfall in 15 minutes... JTC!

Duggan: JTC with the huge return win over Chris Mosh! 

Martinez: It's always nice to see someone return and prove they've still got it. 

[FN'R]

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen... Please welcome our general manager... Ms. AC Delaney!

Come As You Are sounds off as AC walks out onto the ramp, mic in hand. She raises the mic and begins to speak.

AC: Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you all that Phoenix Winterborn has been in a mild car accident and could not make the show tonight...

BOOOOOOO

AC: However.. His match with Kendrick Kross is being rescheduled for another week. And now I believe Mr. Kross has some things to say on this matter...

3 seconds guitar intro plays before the first line of the Chorus 'ONE MINUTE YOU'RE ON TOP!
At the word top red Pyro shoot straight up from the stage.

Chriqui: Please welcome Kendrick Kross.

Kendrick stands on the ramp for a second or two longer before walking down the metal ramp. He ignores AC Delaney and then ignores anyone who tries to reach out to touch him. When he gets to the end he walks up the steps and picks up a microphone and walks to the middle of the ring.

Kross: So here I am, supposed to have a match tonight with Phoenix and just all of a sudden he has a car crash? A freaking car crash? I call bullshit on that. I don’t believe for one second he actually got in a crash.

Kendrick rolls his eyes and shakes his head as fans boo him. A smirk crosses his face as he takes it in

Kross: You think booing me really affects me? I could not give two shits less. Phoenix cares about not facing me though. If the dude had any balls in that nice suit he galivants around in he’d be here and ready to face me. Car crash or not.

Kendrick lets out a laugh and looks out into the crowd as they have continued to boo him.

Kross: The way I see it unless he shows proof tonight he got in a crash I won’t believe a damn thing. I hereby claim myself Kendrick Kross as the winner. You want to prove me wrong Phoenix? Then be a man and show up on the next Rampage. Prove to me you can actually show up to a show. Otherwise you’ll just be known as a chickenshit to me. As of now Kendrick Kross has the victory over Phoenix Winterborn. Game. Set. Match.

Kendrick smiles as he drops the mic and heads up the ramp, walking past AC again without acknowledging her while the crowd boos. AC looks around, unsure of what to do but just shakes her head, waves and walks off the ramp. Fade too...

ReBelle (Nickles & Scorpio)

Vs Ace King & Cyrus Black

(Tornado Tag Team Match)

(60 Minute Time Limit)

(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)

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

The arena lights go down to just a spotlight on the stage, and the fans give a huge cheer as 'Vogue (Metal Cover) by Leon Moracchioli 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. The curtain parts again and the cheers grow even louder as Georgie Nickles and Scorpio step out, flanking Crème. 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.

Chriqui: Please welcome, at a combined weight of 342 lbs, accompanied by Crème de la Crème, the team of 'The Rebel Child' Georgie Nickles and 'The S-Factor' Scorpio... REBELLE!

Duggan: It's everyone's favorite team... ReBelle!

Martinez: The undefeated ReBelle takes on the makeshift team of two of the EWC's strongest

Chriqui: And their opponents...

“THE ACE OF SPADES! THE ACE OF SPADES!”

With the other three participants already in the ring, the Toyota Center gets excited at the sound of Lemmy’s growl, but instead of the opening riff to Motörhead’s ‘Ace of Spades,’ the building goes pitch black, which gets the fans murmuring. After a few seconds, a single white spotlight shines on the stage, where United States Champion Ace King is down on one knee, his head bowed under the shadow of a hoodie.

Ace slowly rises to his feet, the spotlight following him as he steps forward. The United States Champion casually scans the murmuring Houston crowd, then nods before Brent Smith’s voice suddenly rips through the Toyota Center…

“WHEN YOU GONNA WAKE UP AND FIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT?”

‘The Gambler’ suddenly launches his fist forward, smashing through a pane of glass! The subsequent shattering triggers the lights, along with the traditional ‘Ace of Spades’ opening as ‘The Gambler’ assesses the damage.

Grizzly Duggan: Wow, I didn’t expect that!

Phillip Loydson: Seriously? You didn’t think that was a possible in such a Jackass-inspired culture? There’s a reason they have that American Idiot song...

Grizzly Duggan: No, he’s clearly done it as a tribute to the late Ashton Drake, one of the greatest adversaries in Ace’s career. I saw their 60 Minute Iron Man Match at Wrestlefest in Melbourne that went to extra time a couple years ago, and it lived up to every bit of the hype, and then some.

Javier Martinez: What you just saw there was the signature opening to Drake’s entrance, complete with that clip from ‘Sound of Madness,’ and I know this has to be quite the night for Ace as he prepares for battle.

Ace casually shakes out his right hand, getting any remaining glass fragments out of his tape, which has 'AD' written on it; once satisfied, he raps his chest twice before pointing skyward and starting down the ramp, unzipping his hoodie to reveal the United States Championship underneath.

Emmanuelle Chriqui: And introducing his partner… FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds… HE IS the EWC United States Champion… HE IS ‘The Gambler’... ACE… KIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGG!!!

Ace stops at the end of the ramp to pull the hoodie off, then casually toss it into the crowd as ‘The Vengeful One’ once did before bowing his head once more.

Grizzly Duggan: There’s clearly a lot on the man’s mind tonight, as there is for all of us, but given who he’s about to step into the ring with, he’s got to get his head in the game, and fast.

Javier Martinez: No kidding; even with Cyrus Black having his back tonight, Ace has to be on top of his game if he wants to give the well-oiled machine known as ReBelle a run for its money.

After a few seconds, Ace’s gaze snaps to the ring, and as he dives in under the bottom rope, gold pyro explodes from the turnbuckle. 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 his championship to the referee, he gives Black a nod before getting his game face on, his eyes firmly fixed on Scorpio and The REAL Rebel Child.

Duggan: Ace king with a touching tribute to Drake tonight, everyone remembers the war those two had over the Undisputed Title a few years ago.

Martinez: Indeed, hard to forget one of the best matches I've ever seen.

The whole arena goes dark for a moment, a spotlight hits the entrance ramp and music plays from the PA system.

"Life is a mystery..."

The silhouette of a man moves into the spotlight, arms raised above his head as he starts to clap.

"And it feels like home..."

The lights go up around the arena, two red pyrotechnics go off at either side of the stage as the chorus hits...

"When you call my name
it's like a little prayer..."


Cyrus starts clapping as he merrily skips from one side of the entrance ramp to the other, looking out at the sea of fans, goading them to clap along with him. Cyrus makes his way down the entrance ramp with the International championship around his waist, he engages with fans along the way, dishing out high fives and hugs as he jives his way to the ring.

"I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there..."

Sliding underneath the bottom rope into the ring, Cyrus shuffles from one corner buckle to another, continuously banging the palms of his hands together as the fans are on there feet clapping with him,

"Just like a prayer you know,
I'll take you there...".

Cyrus casually leans against the ropes, with a cheesy grin on his face.

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, he is the Carson City Kid and the EWC's International Champion... Cyrus Black!

Duggan: Cyrus Black... this man is someone I regret not getting a chance to face here in the EWC. A mans man who is all about having fun and picking up a win.

Loydson: He's an arrogant douche-bag... I can see why you'd like him!
The ref, already assigned, enters the ring and checks wrestlers for contraband before signaling the timekeeper and..

DING DING DING

The emotions were high for this one as Ace King and Georgie Nickles start us out. The duo lock up in a shoulder/collar tie up, both struggling against the force of the other but neither giving in to that force. Ace pulls Nickles towards him and flips the momentum into an Irish whip as he run sprints towards the opposite ropes, both competitors flying towards the middle, Georgie leapfrogs while Ace slides under and both hit the ropes even harder and there’s a massive meeting of the minds at center-ring when Ace and Nickels double clothesline each other! And both superstars kip-up to a roar from the crowd. Ace and Nickles extend hands and shake before they both tag out.

Cyrus Black takes a different approach and instantly rushed Scorpio, landing a stiff kick to the gut before pulling Scorpio forward into a belly-to-belly, after the impact Cyrus rolls and locks on an armbar! They are near the ropes so Scorpio doesn’t take much punishment, but his arm is definitely feeling the effects. Scorpio is beginning to stand, and looks up just as Cyrus blows him a kiss and then leaps into a dropkick that connects with his face. Cyrus makes the cover!

ONE!

.
.
.

KICKOUT BY SCORPIO!

Cyrus drags Scorpio up into a side-headlock, squeezing the The S-Factor’s head like a grape but Scorpio’s able to shock everyone when he gets his own arm over Cyrus’ head and lifts Cyrus up into a snap suplex, quickly followed up by a shooting star press with a cover!

ONE!

.
.
.

KICKOUT BY CYRUS BLACK!

Cyrus rolls over to the apron and uses the ropes to begin to stand and eats a superkick square to the jaw! Cyrus crashes to the padded concrete next to Georgie Nickles who helps him up with a smile before rolling him back into the ring just in time to eat a Scorpio dropkick! Scorpio calls for the tag and Nickles is there, TAG, Nickles springs in and takes off for the opposite ropes… Cyrus is starting to stand just as Nickles leaps into the SHINING ANARCHY! Nickles Covers! But Ace is instantly there to break it up. Scorpio comes in to back up Ace but eats a shoot kick to his right hand and then a dropkick that sends him backwards out of the ring. Ace pulls Nickles in and goes for the DDT but she drops to her knees before using all of her weight to lift Ace up onto her shoulders! Nickles swings Ace around and lands a swinging neckbreaker! The crowd is going wild, everyone is down! Toyo begins to count Nickles and Cyrus but Nickles is up to her feet.

“THIS IS AWESOME… THIS IS AWESOME… THIS IS AWESOME”

Nickles drags Cyrus up and sends him into the ropes, on the rebound its a spear that about tears him in half! Cover!

ONE!

.
.
.

TW… BREAKUP BY ACE!

Ace with the save again, but Scorpio is back up and pulling Ace out of the ring! Ace turns to face Scorpio but eats a superkick that sends him off his feet. Scorpio begins slapping the apron to get Nickles fired up!

Nickles pulls Cyrus up, but Cyrus as he scoops her up and drops her right on her head with a scoop brainbuster from out of nowhere! Cyrus is looking to his corner for Ace, but Ace isn’t there! Cyrus crawls the corner and uses the turnbuckle to stand. Nickle’s is back up and coming for him, but Cyrus leaps forward and rolls up onto his feet in the middle of the ring before quickly spinning to kick Nickles with a wicked enziguri! The crowd is going insane!

“THIS IS AWESOME…. THIS IS AWESOME… THIS IS AWESOME!”

Nickles begins to crawl towards her corner where Scorpio waits with the tag, meanwhile Ace is up at his corner, and TAGs on both ends as Ace and Scorpio explode towards each other, sending blows left and right while the crowd goes bananas! Ace ducks one of Scorpio’s punches and lands a push kick into his gut before yanking Scorpio in for a snap DDT! Ace drags Scorpio up but Scorpio turns it into a corkscrew neckbreaker! Both men get up, crack a smile before nodding in approval. Ace lunges into Scorpio with a hellacious chop, Scorpio fires back with one of his own! Ace and Scorpio trade chops, back and forth, beating each other’s chest like an Irish drum and it isn’t long until both of their chests are beet red! Ace goes for another chop but its a fake as he turns it into a clothesline! Ace continues his momentum as he runs to Nickle’s corner and knocks her down. Ace rushes back towards Scorpio but Scorpio leaps into a AGR!

“HOLY SHIT… HOLY SHIT… HOLY SHIT!”

Scorpio is pulling Ace to the center for the pin but Cyrus Black rolls in and rushes at Scorpio, THE BLACKOUT! Right to the back of Scorpio’s head! Cyrus pulls Ace up and helps him to their corner before tagging himself him and going for the cover.

ONE!

.
.
.

TWO!!

.
.
.

THR… BREAKUP BY NICKLES!

“HOLY SHIT!!!!!!”

Nickles is getting back up to her feet but Ace rushes in and catches her with a High Roller! Cyrus pulls Scorpio up and hit a German suplex but releases waist control before kipping up. Cyrus rushes at the ropes, Scorpio’s head is up and its a second BLACKOUT! Ace holds back Nickles while Cyrus makes the cover.


ONE!

.
.
.

TWO!!

.
.
.

THREE!!!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, your winners via pinfall at 54 minutes... Cyrus Black and Ace King!

Duggan: My god what a match! Ace King and Cyrus Black were able to work together and secure the win but I don't think you can call ReBelle losers here! What a match!

Martinez: I'd say that's an understatement Duggan! 

Loydson: I've seen bett

Duggan: My ass! What a match! What a show! Thanks everyone for tuning in! Congrats Ace King and Cyrus Black but FN'R ran over! So long folks!
