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

Match #1
Tanja Devereaux
Vs Cassie
Vs Jason Kortare
Vs David "Octane" Gowolski
(FN'R Debut Fatal Four Way)
(25 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Peirce Patterson)
Martinez: Indeed. We’ve got The Cajun Queen Tanja Devereaux... Cassie... Jason Kortare and of course D.O.G an original Kiltbro is also in the house! All four of these individuals will be desperate for a win, because that pushes you up the ladder towards potential title shots!
Loydson: Four new lambs to the slaughter hahaha!
Chriqui: The following match is a fatal four way and it is scheduled for one fall Introducing first... Coming to the ring hailing from New Orleans, Louisina; she is the Cajun Queen, TANJA DEVEREAUX!!!
Pyros hit as Videos of bustling crowds in various locations of New Orleans appear on the tron as "Daughters of Darkness" by Halestorm blasts on the P.A. system. Tanja comes out and heads down to the ring.
Chrqui: Her opponent.... weighing in at 132 pounds... residing from Los Angeles, California... CASSIE!!!!
”Opulence" By Brooke Candy begins to blast over the P.A. system. Purple lights flicker among the stage area as Cassie walks on the stage and down towards the ring.
Chrqui: And there opponent.... weighing in at 257 pounds... residing from Los Angeles, California.... JASON KORTARE!!!
The lights on stage begins to flicker in the color white as "Remember the Name" By Fort Minor begins to blast over the P.A. System! The lights on stage begins to settle and stay lit as Jason Kortare comes from behind the curtains, slowly walking down the ramp towards the ring.
Chrqui: And there opponent....weighing in at 210 pounds.... residing from San Antonio, Texas.... DAVID “OCTANE” GOWOLSKI!!!!!!
'Blue on Black' by Five Finger Death Punch plays as D.O.G walks out to the ramp to a loud cheer. As Octane walks down towards the ring the fans start up a “KILT BROS.... KILT BROS... KILT BROS...” chant. Octane goes over to the front row where we see fellow Kiltbro and FSW Star Kyle Gautier and Prime Star Vanita Thompson are sitting. Octane gives Vanita a kiss on the cheek before he embraces Kyle with a hug. As Octane gets into the ring Kyle holds up a ‘KILTBROS’ sign as the fans go wild.
DING DING DING
As soon as the bell rang all four competitors went for it, Tanja hit Cassie with a flying crossbody and both went tumbling over the top rope. Meanwhile Octane dodged Kortares punches and instead hit a few sharp kicks and strikes to Kortares body and legs. Octane then jumped onto the middle ropes, leaping backwards and trying a moonsault but Kortare caught him with a vicious big boot in mid air. On the outside Tanja and Cassie were trading back and forth shots, before Tanja grabbed Cassie in a headlock and using the ring apron as leverage she hits Cassie with a tornado DDT on the outside. In the ring Kortare picked Octane up and launched backwards for a release German suplex but Octane amazingly landed on his feet much to the delight of the crowd!
Tanja then got into the ring, she charged at Octane who leaped frogged over her, Tanja ran right into a hard flying clothesline by Kortare. Octane then quickly caught Kortare with an armbar takedown, as Kortare struggled to break free Octane smashed him with a heel kick to the face. Then with Kortare stunned on the mat, Octane hit a lionsault on him. Octane then climbed to the top rope and was ready to hit the 450 splash on Kortare when Cassie pounced onto the ring apron and pushed Octane off of the top rope, causing him to crash onto the hard floor on the outside.
Duggan: This match is one hundred miles per hour and I love it.
Loydson: Did I mention how much I hate the Kiltbros?
Martinez: Well these fans love them! And Kyle Gautier is Octanes personal cheerleader on the outside here! The athleticism of Octane is unbelievable.
Duggan: What about the strength of Jason Kortare! And don’t write off Tanja either! Anyone could win this!
Cassie climbed to the top rope and launched herself towards Kortare but the big man was up on his feet, and he caught Cassie in mid air, walking around the ring with her in his arms with a cocky smile on his face, before he lifted Cassie up in the air and hit her with his finisher the Brainbuster! Kortare pinned Cassie but right at the two and half count Tanja jumped into the ring and leg dropped Kortare in the head causing him to break the pin. Tanja then hit Kortare with a roundhouse kick before she picked Cassie up and hit her with her signature move the French Quarter. Tanja pinned Cassie but just before she got the three count Octane pounced on the top rope and hit the 450 Splash landing on Tanja and Cassie which broke the pin up! Octane pinned Tanja this time but he couldn’t get the three count either as Kortare this time broke up the pin at the two and half count. At the this point the fans were on feet there giving it the this is awesome chant!
Kortare and Octane started to beat the crap out of each other, hitting stiff shot after shot after shot to each other’s body. Kortare threw Octane off the ropes and but as he bounced back he threw himself at Kortare and both men went over the top rope. On the outside the two men kept on fighting as Cassie slowly got to her feet she went to join but she didn’t see Tanja until it was to late. Tanja grabbed her and pulled her into her submission finisher, a variation on the Indian deathlock... the Bayou St. John. Just before Cassie tapes out Octane again leaped on the top rope and hit his frog splash finisher Doggy Style landing on Tanja and Cassie. Octane got his arm over Cassie and got the win before Kortare could break the pin up.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall in 18 minutes..... DAVID “OCTANE” GOWOLSKI!!!!!!
Duggan: What a match! I had no clue which way this one was going to go but Octane was to clever and too quick for the rest, what a frogsplash at the end there, did you see how high he leaped.
Loydson: I have to admit that was impressive from Octane tonight, what a win for him. The Kilt bros still annoy me.
Martinez: All four superstars can be proud of there performance out there tonight.
Duggan: We will be right back with you with more hard hitting action after this commercial break.
Match #2
Xavier Reid
Vs "Pyscho" Saoirse Magurie
(Singles Match)
(25 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: Good evening, everybody! Welcome back to Friday Night Rampage! We just witnessed quite the Fatal Four-Way and are about to see an interesting singles match.
Loydson: Interesting? What the hell's gonna be interesting about two kids who haven't been overly impressive as of late? I mean, hell, Reid lost to Ace King at Hardcore Revolution, and Psycho didn't exactly shine as brightly as she could have in that battle royale.
Martinez: You kinda just answered the question there, Loydson. It's two wrestlers - let alone from different brands - who are gonna face each other for the very first time. Both suffered defeat, and are no doubt looking to bounce back. I, personally, am eager to see who can secure the W tonight and how they do it!
Duggan: As am I, so let's see this play out. Xavier Reid versus one of the many Shieldmaidens. Let's find out who prevails!
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 220 pounds... XAVIER REID!
The jumbo screen flickers and the picture of a sky appears on the eve of a storm, the clouds are dark and rolling across the sky quickly and with aggression. The lights inside the arena start to dim, the rumbling of a storm can be heard over the speakers as lighting appears in the clouds
The cracking of lighting grows louder and louder until two strikes hit the stage
First from the right and then from the left as ‘Papercut’ starts to play out…
Smoke rises up from where the lightning hit stage as Xavier Reid walks out onto the stage, his arms crossed in a X over his chest as he stands at the top of the stage and looks out towards the ring.
The fans have a mix reaction as he starts to walk towards the ring, shadow boxing as he does so ignoring the fans until he reaches ringside
Xavier bounces up and down while looking at the ground and then looks up and smirks as he heads towards the steps and slams his foot down on each step as he marches up the steps and jumps into the ring and heads right to far corner and climbs to the middle rope and tosses his arms into the air and crosses them into a X as he looks out over the crowd.
Duggan: I don't think it's only from those lightning bolts, but I can definitely feel the massive amount of tension right here in the Palais 12 Stadium.
Loydson: Well, yeah. These kiddos got something to prove.
Martinez: I doubt that's all though. With Psycho's wife having just been put out of wrestling commission by Adrian Blackthorne, she very likely has frustrations that have been lingering for quite a while now.
Duggan: Unfortunately, even though Reid had nothing to do with that incident, he may very well end up facing some of Psycho's wrath.
Chrqui: His opponent, from Dublin, Ireland, weighing in at 105 pounds... 'PSYCHO' SAOIRSE MAGUIRE!
With the lights dimmed, the Shieldmaidens’ motto, “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here!” comes up on the Tron. Dublin Death Patrol’s “Pigs In The Hollow” hits and “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire comes walking through the entryway smirking cruelly. Aoife "Banshee" Maguire and Katrina "Knox" Knox follow her out and walk her to the ring. She slides into the ring looking like she can’t wait to get down to business.
DING DING DING
Xavier and Saoirse start off the match by getting chest-to-chest with one another. For nearly a minute, they simply stare one another down. Xavier makes the first move, finally, and slaps Saoirse right across the face! She smirks and nods, retaliating with a massive chop to Xavier's chest!
From there, a back-and-forth exchange of kicks from both fighters begins! They're coming in very quickly and, from the copious amounts of bruises beginning to appear on the two, very roughly. It's hard to tell who is hurting the other more so, but one thing is clear. Neither wrestler are giving the other any easy advantages.
Duggan: Whoa! I figured it'd be intense, but ... wow!
Loydson: You call that intense? That literally looks like two children having a hissy fit!
Soon, the kicks come to a halt as the two back away, realizing that they're both too on par with the other to use kicks to deal any overly heavy damage. Psycho hits Xavier with a Standing Moonsault, but he surprises by the Shieldmaiden by kipping up quicker than she expected!
He follows up with a European Uppercut!
While Psycho is still reeling from the hit, he gets up on top of the ropes and lunges forward, smacking Maguire with a Springboard Super Man Punch! Psycho stumbles backwards, but she refuses to fall!
Xavier smirks at the display and nods in what can be assumed to be approval. He throws one last kick to Psycho, taking her off-balance and finally forcing her onto the canvas. He then grabs a hold of her head and locks the X'ed Out (Hell's Gate Submission) Technique in!
Saoirse growls and screams. She fights, waving her hand in the air, desperately trying to cling to any of the ropes. But after several failed attempts, she has no choice but to tap!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via submission, in 21 minutes ... XAVIER REID!
Duggan: Impressive displays from both Reid and Maguire. Neither made it easy for the other to earn that win.
Loydson: Impressive?! Meh, I suppose it wasn't the worst match I've seen on Rampage.
Martinez: Regardless, that concludes our second match of the evening.
Duggan: Indeed we have. We'll be back shortly with more FN'R after this word from...
The scene heads backstage and we open to Brian Spade stood in front of the Rampage interview area. He has a smile on his face, and pauses briefly as the crowd give him a little cheer, before he raises his microphone.
Brian Spade: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the NEW EWC World Tag Team Champions… ReBelle!
There’s a bigger cheer from the fans as the camera pans back to show the new champions stood to the side. Scorpio is already in his wrestling gear – a pair of iridescent tights, black heeled boots, and a t-shirt bearing the glittering anarchy logo of ReBelle; to his side stands Georgie Nickles in jeans and the same t-shirt; both wrestlers have one of the EWC Tag Team Championship belts over their shoulders, and wide, proud smiles on their faces.
Brian Spade: First of all congratulations, there were some brutal moments in that Street Fight but I’m sure it was all worth it. How are you feeling 10 days on?
Georgie Nickles: Well, honestly right now we’re on top of the world. I mean sure I’m out for tonight after Freya half beat me to death with that wrench, and Scorps is fighting as fit as he can after being slammed down a flight of stairs and driven through a car windshield… but the important part is this… the tag team division is under new leadership, and we are ready for whatever gets thrown our way!
Brian Spade: That’s refreshing to hear; speaking of the tag team division, there seems to already be a challenger waiting for you… Melody Malone and Draco Lazarus, The Aristocrats, made their feelings on your win known mere minutes after the final bell rang… thoughts on that?
Scorpio: Indeed, the so-called King and Queen of the EWC barely let the sweat dry before they were out shouting the place down and making all sorts of claims. Listen darling, the past few weeks we’ve come up against a disappearing act of a team, an almost non-existent opponent – that’s not how this sport works, that’s not how honour and respect work. We swore when we pulled down that briefcase that we would be here to fight, and that’s exactly what we intend to do; but darlings, coming out at Hardcore Revolution and declaring yourselves contenders is not the done thing. Sweetie there’s a process… and when you earn your right to a shot, we’ll be glad to take you on. Until then know one thing…
Scorpio turns to face the camera, pouting slightly as he winks to it.
Scorpio: There’s only room for two Queens in this place… and you’re looking right at them, bitch.
The S-Factor mimes crowning himself and Georgie as the fans give a cheer for the fighting statement.
Georgie Nickles: Now, if you’ll excuse us Brian, we’ve got an All-Champions contest to prepare for. And after that… well who knows… maybe Brawl, FSW, and PRIME might be getting the chance to see the new tag team champions…
There’s another cheer from the fans as Nickles and Scorpio each show off their title belts to the camera, before Scorpio wraps Spade in a welcoming hug and air-kisses either side of him, to Spade’s utter bemusement. ReBelle head off as the scene fades out…
Duggan: Well some fighting talk from the champs – they’re here to defend their titles, but quite rightly if you want a shot, you’ve gotta earn it!
Martinez: And we’ll see one half of ReBelle in action later tonight as Scorpio teams up with the United States Champ Ace King to take on the Undisputed Champ Dominic Sanders and the International Champ Cyrus Black! Some uneasy alliances there, but a hell of a lot of gold!
Loydson: … one of those thing is not like the other! Spoilers, it’s the transsexual in the glittering tights. That’s the one that’s not like the others.
Martinez: Scorpio isn’t tra—
Loydson: I WANT A WORLD WHERE WRESTLING IS MEN WITH BIG MUSCLES AND WOMEN WITH BIG BOOBS, WHY DID IT HAVE TO GO SO DAMN “WOKE”?!
Match #3
"Iron" Mike Strong
Vs Dr. Psycho
(X-Division Match)
(30 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: Coming up next we’ve got an X-Division match between Dr. Psycho and the returning “Iron” Mike Strong.
Martinez: It’s good to see Mike Strong back after a few months away, Grizzly. From what it seems, the Inferno Match with Curtis Mars at StrangleMania really got into his head. He took a mental break and now he’s back at it.
Loydson: And going up against a mental CASE. Dr. Psycho is not someone to mess with, guys!
Duggan: Hang on. We are just receiving word that Emmanuelle Chriqui has an announcement.
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been handed a note. Per the orders of Friday Night Rampage General Manager AC Delaney, the following X-Division match is now FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE!
The crowd erupts.
Loydson: Hell yeah! Let’s go!
The lights in Palais 12 darken as the beginning guitar riff of "I Don't Wanna Stop" by Ozzy Osborne hits the stage lights at the ramp flash and strobe in an eerie green color.
Chriqui: Introducing first… from Baltimore, Maryland... Standing five feet and nine inches tall and weighing in at two hundred pounds... 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 Mike Strong.
Duggan: This guy is… strange, to say the least.
Loydson: Strange doesn’t even begin to describe this kid!
Martinez: Despite what he is or how he acts, he’s a tough competitor. And Mike Strong has been out for almost three months. It will be a test for “Iron” Mike tonight.
The lights dim and the crowd grows silent. The sound of rivets tightening and metal grinding echoes through the arena. Then a slow beat of a drum begins to hit. The crowd claps along with the beat as a guitar strums, "Ironman" by Black Sabbath begins to play. The very familiar guitar sound as the lights begin to flash and spin it around the building, gold and white strobes flash atop the stage, as the words "STRONG" emblazoned on the tron as Mike Strong makes his way onto the ramp.
Chriqui: And his opponent...from Cleveland, Ohio... standing six feet and four inches tall and weighing two hundred and sixty-five pounds..."IRON" MIKE STRONG!
The song continues to play as Mike Strong begins the long walk down the ramp, taking in all of the excitement of the crowd as he marches down toward the ring. As he rounds the corner he high fives a few fans in the front row and scales the steel steps. Walking along the apron he turns around to look at the crowd, letting it all to soak in once more. Wiping his feet off on the apron he kicks his foot over the middle rope and climbs into the ring. Making his way across the ring and scales the turnbuckle throwing his hand into the air to a roar from the crowd.
Duggan: Mike Strong looks as good as ever right now. We will see if there’s any rust on the Iron.
Martinez: Well-played, Grizzly.
Loydson: I do appreciate that both men come out to Ozzy in some form or fashion! But this isn’t a concert. It’s a wrestling event. And this one is about to get violent!
DING DING DING
Strong sprinted across the ring and drove a knee into Psycho’s face before he could get up from the corner. This only brought laughter from the Doctor. Strong drove another knee into Psycho’s face and knocked him through the ropes and to the floor. As Strong joined him on the outside and grabbed a chair from under the ring, Dr. Psycho nailed him with a low blow. Psycho then grabbed a second chair and, with one in each hand, delivered a con-chair-to type ear clap to Strong. He went for a cover, but only got two.
Martinez: There was a sickening thud as both of those chairs wrapped around Mike’s head.
Loydson: I don’t know how he managed to kick out!
Dr. Psycho then took Strong over to the ramp and snap-suplexed Strong onto it. A second cover yielded another two-count. Psycho attempted to Irish-whip Strong into the MacTron, but Strong reversed it into a hard short-arm clothesline onto the ramp. Strong then dragged him up to the stage and delivered a belly-to-belly high into the MacTron. Dr. Psycho collapsed to the stage and Strong covered. But he only got a two count.
Duggan: These two are going back and forth, now. And you can already see that it’s wearing both of these guys down slowly.
Strong pulled Dr. Psycho into the backstage area and dumped him onto the concrete floor. He grabbed an aluminum tray from the catering table and cracked it hard into Dr. Psycho’s head. He pulled Dr. Psycho to his feet and dropped the tray, looking to DDT Dr. Psycho onto it. But Dr. Psycho countered by running Strong back-first into a wall. He slammed Strong onto the concrete and disappeared down the hallway. When he came back, he was wielding a scalpel!
Loydson: My God! This crazy son-of-a-gun has a scalpel!
Dr. Psycho tried to slice Strong’s forehead open with the scalpel, but Strong was able to force himself to his feet and knock the scalpel out of his hand. As Strong lost focus for a second to kick the scalpel away, Dr. Psycho ran and speared him through a locker room door!
Duggan: Both men are down!
Martinez: While “Iron” Mike may have taken the brunt of that move, Dr. Psycho’s head drove through that door, as well!
Mike Strong was the first to his feet. He lifted Dr. Psycho up and positioned him near a concrete wall. He nailed the Iron Strong Arm on Dr. Psycho, smacking his head against the wall. Strong covered and got the three count for the victory.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Here is your winner in 18 minutes… “IRON” MIIIIKE STROOOONG!
Strong gets off of Dr. Psycho and raises his arms in the air.
Duggan: What a return for Mike Strong! He was able to pick up a much-needed victory!
Martinez: Welcome back, Mike Strong! Now we go to some words from a sponsor!
Match #4
Kennedy Mathews
Vs Mercury
(Singles Match)
(30 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. Our fourth match of the night is about to start up.
Loydson: More rookies. Freaking lovely.
Martinez: Indeed, we are going to see two new additions to the Rampage Roster. I, personally, can't wait to see what they'll bring forth into the ring.
Duggan: Luckily, we don't have to wait much longer. Here we go!
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, rom London, England, standing 5 feet and 3 inches tall weighing in at 105 lbs. She is the self proclaimed QUEEN of EWC, KENNEDY MATTHEWS!
"You should see me in a Crown" by Billie Eilish begins to play as Kennedy Matthews walks out of the Gorilla Position to the stage. She smiles from ear to ear before bouncing to the ring enthusiastically. She slides in the ring and blows kisses to the crowd as she awaits her opponent
Duggan: Bold nickname. I wonder if our other 'queen' Melody Malone would have something to say about that.
Loydson: Doubt we'll ever find out. She's in FSW, remember?
Martinez: True, but we've had people from other brands come on over.
Duggan: Thinking more on it, I kinda have to agree with Loydson. The odds of that happening are slim ... even though it was just a curious, rhetorical musing on my behalf.
The deafening bass of Juicy J's "Shell Shocked" pulls the camera as the man named Mercury steps onto the stage. He takes exaggerated steps then comes to a halt, bending over to say a quick prayer. As he comes up, he flips his hood off of his head, the full view of his mask now visible. He begins jumping around as he makes his way down to the ring, high-fiving fans and exuding pure excitement.
Chrqui: On his way to the ring, making his EWC debut, is her opponent! Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, weighing in at 167 pounds... MERCURY!
Mercury hops onto the apron, taking a knee immediately and looking out towards the crowd. A smile is seen from under his mask as he hops up to the top turnbuckle and backflips onto the mat. He removes his jacket and lets the referee search him as he awaits his opponent.
DING DING DING
Mercury starts the match out by extending his hand, offering to begin the fight with a handshake. Kennedy rolls her eyes, giving him a look that silently asks if he's fucking serious about that or not. When he doesn't make an attempt to pull his hand away, she snickers, shaking her head from side to side ... and answers with a slap to Mercury's face!
Duggan: Damn. That was .. unnecessary.
Loydson: Don't ya know there's a time for everything? Sportsmanship is one of them. The kid's got heart, but that would have been smarter to offer at the end, not beginning. Wake me when this gets interesting.
Martinez: No need to shut your eyes; looks like it's gonna do just that right now.
Indeed, the slap did seem to help Mercury realize she wasn't going to take his hand, nor be nice. That seemed to be all he needed to get focused and concentrate on his fight. He was making his debut, and by God, he was going to make an impact!
Kennedy tries to take advantage of him contemplating what move to make by attempting to sabotage him with a Pele Kick, but he gracefully backflips out of the way of the attack! He runs for the ropes, and Matthews tries to stop him from what originally appears to be retreating.
But after getting on top of the ropes, he shows that's the last thing he's doing as he jumps off and knocks Kennedy down with a Flying Clothesline! Not wanting to waste the momentum he has built up, he follows up with a Neckbreaker.
Kennedy is practically glaring a hole at Mercury, looking livid at being humiliated. She tries to catch him off balance with a Russian Leg Sweep, but all that does is make him stumble back towards the ropes which, apparently, he was going to do anyway.
He gets back on top ... gets in position ... and jumps off, perfectly nailing 88 Days (450 Splash)! Mercury then goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, in 8 minutes... MERCURY!
Duggan: I liked him, personally. He's got energy and he's not half bad of an aerial fighter.
Loydson: Hmph, fine. So the kid wasn't too bad. I'll admit that here. Hopefully he can keep this streak up and show that despite being a rookie, he's got more than luck on his side.
Martinez: ... Dude, really? How can you say that was only luck? He clearly had skills!
Duggan: Well, while they finish their debate, we'll be back but for now... Here's Brian Spade!
With the show going backstage, it goes to a sight of Colton Cooper and his manager Monty Dixon well underway in the process of hyping up, which for the competitor of tonight’s title match is the process of hauling what seems to be kegs of beer around, whilst Monty stands back with a bottle of Belgian ale almost completely engulfed by his hand.
After a short while, backstage interviewer Brian Spade arrives to get an understanding what was happening.
Brian Spade: Monty, Cooper. What on earth is going on right now?
A deep hearty laugh escaped from Monty’s being as he slapped the empty hand on the shoulder of the interviewer.
Monty Dixon: What do you think you’re seeing, son? We’re in the middle of preparing the biggest party Belgium has seen since ol’ Patton kicked the Germans out of Brussels! And what better way to celebrate is stocking up on some of the best beer in the world, brewed right here in the heart of Belgium!
Brian Spade: Well it seems a bit premature to start celebrating already, since Colt will have to face two formidable foes tonight, both of whom seem dead set on becoming contenders themselves.
The sound of two kegs being placed on the floor echoed through the backstage area, and before long Colt himself decided to make his way between his mentor and Brian Spade, a big confident grin on the man’s visage.
Colton Cooper: You know what Brian, they’ve talked their talk a lot and they sure as hell try to scare the pants off of everyone that they come across. But they’ve never met a no nonsense Southern boy like me, and there’s only two things in this world I’m afraid of…
Brian Spade: Which are?
Colton Cooper: Making my momma angry, and running out of beer… And it don’t look like we’ll be running out of amazing Belgian beer anytime soon!
Monty finished his beer and slapped his protégé on the back with another hearty laugh, and left to find some more beer. Leaving Spade to pose one final question.
Brian Spade: Well, I’m sure everyone will give each other a run for their money. But what if you do lose, seems to me like that’d be a huge downer on the party you’re planning?
Colton Cooper: Well if that happens, at least I’ll have plenty of ale for me to drown my sorrows in!
For a split-second Colt’s smile dropped a little bit and his posture changed.
Colton Cooper: But in all seriousness Brian, I know that both Silas and Blackthorne are two formidable enemies, and they both don’t seem to care about how they’ll get the win. But neither of those two have ever gone face to face with the Big Cab. The US Title, there’s not many other titles I’d want to get in my hands.
Slapping the interviewer on the same shoulder he had been hit by Monty earlier, Colt’s confidence returned.
Colton Cooper: Tonight every fan in Belgium is invited to be a part of Big Cab Country, because win or lose, this will be a night to remember!
Match #5
Phoenix Winterborn and Stephanie Matsuda
Phoenix Winterborn and Stephanie Matsuda
Vs Samantha "The Titaness" Hamilton and Zombie Stevens
(Tag Team Match)
(30 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Peirce Patterson)
Duggan: And now we move into our next match of the evening, a tag team match pitting Stephanie Matsada and Phoenix Winterborn against The Shieldmaidens, Zombie and Titaness.
Loydson: Piss break match.
Martinez: I happen to expect it to be pretty good!.
Duggan: It definitely has all the potential to steal the show. .
Chriqui: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall and has a 30 minute time limit... Introducing first at a combined weight of 302 pounds... Representing the Shieldmaidens, WENDY “ZOMBIE” STEVENS AND SAMANTHA “THE TITANESS” HAMILTON!
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 when…
The actual lyrics of 'You're Going Down' by Sick Puppies begins playing, the Titaness saunters down the ramp. Walking beside her is her fiance, Joseph "Orion" Hunter. 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 under the bottom rope and fist bumps her partner as they await their opposition.
Duggan: The SMs are hungry for a win here boys, and they look fired up and ready to go.
Loydson: I’m going to just go to sleep and pray this brats don’t attack me again.
Martinez: Big man Phil, big man.
Duggan: And here come their opponents.
Chriqui: and their, at a combined weight of 360 pounds... STEPHANIE MATSUDA AND PHOENIX WINTERBORN!
“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.
Pyros hit as the opening to "Robot Rock" by Daft Punk begins to play, as Phoenix steps out onto the stage, his head dipped down for the opening guitar riffs, and his hood pulled up on his head. Upon the high guitar, Phoenix stands straight up, throwing the hood back and revealing himself to the crowd to a round of cheers. Making his way down the ramp, his arms are outstretched as he walks backwards, taking in the moment before sliding face up into the ring to run of the opposite corner, and climb onto the second rope, slapping his chest to get the crowd fired up while his music slowly fades out.
DING DING DING
And WE’RE OFF, Matsuda and Zombie start the action here and they waste no time locking up in the center of the ring. Neither woman can get the advantage but a well placed boot to the stomach leans the encounter into Zombie’s favor. Zombie rips Matsuda forward into a belly-to-belly suplex before quickly pulling her back up into a spiking DDT. Zombie is going to have some fun here as she lands a knife-edged chop cleanly to Matsuda’s throat, our ref backs Zombie up but she just shoves past him to pull Matsuda up into a German suplex with a bridge! ON… No! Matsuda is out as one, and Zombie smiles as she showcases her power with an amazing deadlift German. Phoenix is begging for a tag, and watches in horror as Zombie drags Matsuda up into a series of short-arm clotheslines, followed by a round of stiff knife-edge chops and capped off by a running powerbomb, with a cover. ONE… TWO… Phoenix is in to break it up! Sam comes in to even it up and attempts a bigboot on Phoenix but he jumps her leg and lands a shotgun dropkick right into Sam’s midsection, sending her flying back into the corner! Zombie is rushing towards Phoenix, and a SPINNING BACKFIST knocks her backwards into Matsuda who rolls her up! ONE… TWO.. TH.. NO, Kickout by Zombie. Matsuda makes her way to her corner to tag in Phoenix, who left the ring during the cover. Phoenix jumps in like a bat out of hell!
Duggan: The rivalry between Phoenix and the Maiden’s has grown and grown recently, this match has that some fire.
Loydson: It’s decent, I’ll give it that..
Martinez: I’m thoroughly enjoying this, let’s go Phoenix!..
Phoenix floors Zombie with a shotgun dropkick before quickly dragging her up into a Falcon Arrow! He has the cover when he eats a big boot to the back of his head. Phoenix grabs his head head as he turns to stand, he eats a superkick from Sam before she hoists him onto her shoulders for a GTS! Sam pulls him back up and clothesline! Matsuda runs in, but Zombie stops her! Zombie flips Matsuda up for the German but Matsuda lands on her feet! Matsuda leaps into Zombie and locks on the sleeper hold before ripping Zombie backwards into a suplex, the BLASIAN Suplex! Matsuda turns around and eats a superkick from Sam but shakes it off as she leaps into Sam with a STO… EVERYONE’S DOWN! Our ref begins his count, but Zombie and Phoenix both break it as they explode into each other, trading lefts and rights… Phoenix takes the edge and spins into a backhand and looks to lands Light of the Apocalypse but Zombie kicks out her back leg and Sam makes the tag! Phoenix doesn’t notice as he slams Zombie’s head into the mat with the headlock driver! Before Phoenix can react Sam pulls him towards her with a kick to the midsection before trapping his head, underhooking the arms and leaping into Wrath Of The Titans, ONE… TWO… THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall in 23 Minutes... SAM HAMILTON & ZOMBIE STEVENS!
Duggan: Fantastic match!
Loydson: Decent enough.
Martinez: Congrats to the Shieldmadiens, who won this one fair and square.
Duggan: Congrats indeed, a hard fought victory.
Back in the ring Sam has her arm raised by Orion Hunter before they both help up Zombie, who seems out of it but wears a smile none-the-less. Matsuda checks on Phoenix who gives her the thumbs up to signal he’s ok. Scene fades too…
Match #6
Adrian Blachthrone
Vs Silas Issac Naberius
Vs Colton Cooper
(Triple Threat, United States Championship #1 Contendership Match)
(30 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Peirce Patterson)
Duggan: Lets continue the action with a triple threat treat for you all! Silas Issac Naberius... boy that’s a mouthful... is taking on the Daywalker Adrian Blackthorne and Big Cab Colton Cooper, and the winner will be the number one contender to Ace Kings United States Championship!
Martinez: Who’s weirder? Silas Issac Naberius or Adrian Blackthrone? I mean could you imagine either of those men as our United States Champion... I shudder to think about it...
Loydson: I don’t care, as long as Colton Cooper doesn’t touch me with his big dirty trucker hands then I’m all good.
Chriqui: The following match is a triple threat match and it is scheduled for one fall... 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' of E Nomine's 'Mitternacht' is uttered at the 5 second mark, the casket is carried out by the hooded men, and when the casket opens, The Daywalker" Adrian Blackthorne sits up, revealing himself to the audience. He slowly makes his way down to the ring with his blood servant Thanya by his side.
Chrqui: His opponent.... Making his way to the ring... residing in Whitechapel, London, England, weighing 167 lbs... Silas Isaac Naberius!
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. The man reveals himself as Silas Isaac Naberius. He makes his down to the ring, twirling his cane.
Chrqui: And there opponent.... weighing in at 275 pounds.... from Goose Neck, Georgia.... “BIG CAB” COLTON COOPER!!!!!
Black Sunshine' by White Zombie as Colton Cooper makes his way slowly down the ramp towards the ring.
DING DING DING
As soon as the bell rang Adrian pounced on Colton Cooper, hitting him with some devastating strikes to the jaw and then some hard kicks to the stomach. Adrian picked Colton up and splashed him onto the mat with a spine buster. Colton rolled out of the ring and after Adrian glared at Silas for a moment, he went after Colton on the outside. Silas in the meantime sat up on the top rope and rested his legs across the ring ropes as the fans jeered him. Colton tried to fight back, hitting Adrian with a few clothesline on the outside but Adrian got back to his feet every time like a machine. Adrian then hit a facebreaker on Colton before bashing his head continuously off of the steel steps much to delight of Thanya. Adrian then rolled Colton back onto the ring, before picking him up and hitting a huge chokeslam on him. Before Adrian could make a pin, Silas dropkicked him from behind causing him to fall through the middle ropes and out of the ring. Silas then quickly tried to capitalize on the Adrian’s Chokeslam as he pinned Colton. Colton kicked out at the two count much to Silas’s dismay.
Adrian got back into the ring and he was gunning for Silas. Silas thought better of it, as he slid out of the ring, with Adrian on his tail. Once out of the ring what proceeded was a cat and mouse chase between Adrian and Silas. Adrian tried his hardest to catch Silas as he ran around the ring away from him. Neither of them saw Colton slide out of the ring, and Silas nearly ran right into him but he ducked Colton’s big boot and instead Adrian who was right behind Silas took the full brunt of Colton’s boot. Silas then shoved Colton from behind right into the ring post, causing him to hit his head hard and fall to the floor. Silas was the only man on his feet, and he grabbed his cane and twirled it around as the fans jeered and booed him loud, and he was loving every minute of it.
Duggan: I hate to say it but Silas really is quite smart. He’s let the two big men fight it out and he’s picked his moments to strike, now he’s the only man left standing.
Loydson: I like this guy Silas but let’s be honest when Adrian Blackthrone gets his hands on him then he will snap Silas’s pencil neck with ease.
Martinez: Remember this is for a shot at Ace Kings U.S Championship! That’s big, I mean if one of these guys could go on to be the one to dethrone Aces vice grip on that title that puts them in legendary status in the EWC! You gotta do what you gotta do to win.
Silas approached Thanya on the outside, still twirling his cane, as he backed her into a corner with a sinister look on his face, suddenly Adrian was behind him and he was pissed. Adrian grabbed Silas by the hair and dragged him into the ring, once there Adrian lifted Silas up by the hair and slammed him onto the mat. Adrian then viscously put his boot on Silas’s throat and pressed down causing Silas to choke much to the horror of everyone in the arena except Thanya who was cheering him on. As it looks like Silas is about to pass out, Colton comes from behind Adrian hitting him with some big forearm smashes. Colton whips Adrian into the corner and then hits a few running knees before hitting a discus clothesline on Adrian and pinning him. Adrian kicked out the almost right away.
Silas was back on his feet and he charged at Colton from behind, kicking him in the back of the knee causing Colton to drop to his knees. Silas then ran off the ropes and came back at Colton, punt kicking him straight in the face. Adrian then got to his feet and he tried to grab Silas but Silas got a hold of Adrian’s fingers and bent them back looking like he was going to break them off, Silas then stomped on Adrian’s feet then he racked Adrian in the eyes. The ref tried to warn Silas but it’s ignored, Silas instead grabbed his cane from the outside. As Silas was ready to hit Adrian with the cane, Colton got up and hit him from behind with a head butt causing Silas to drop the cane and fall to the floor. Adrian then grabbed Colton and hit his finisher Wrath Of The Impaler. Adrian pinned Colton but before he could get the three count Silas pulled the referee out of the ring, then with the ref on the floor, Silas got in the ring and smacked Adrian in the head with the cane before he pinned Colton himself. With Adrian down and out, the ref slowly got back in the ring and counted the pin giving Silas the win.
Silas quickly got out of the ring and ran up the ramp as Adrian who’s head was bleeding from the cane shot got to his feet. In anger Adrian snapped Silas’s cane in half and then he chokeslammed the referee as he stared down Silas who was standing at the top of the ramp smiling.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall in 22 minutes.... SILAS ISSAC NABERIUS!!!
Duggan: Oh my god! Silas has the win and is now the number one contender to the US championship and he went to extreme lengths to get it!!!
Loydson: If I was Silas I would run and hide for the rest of the year!!! And Silas looks happy at the carnage he’s caused. Adrian Blackthrone won’t forget this in a hurry.
Martinez: I don’t think this over between them, but Silas doesn’t care. He now has a shot at Ace King.
Duggan: What a match. We will be right back with you after this break folks.
MATCH #7
Ace King and Scorpio
Vs Cyrus Black and Dominic Sanders
(All Champs Tag Team Match)
(No Time Limit)
(Ref: Toyo Yashahiro)
Duggan: Time for our semi-main event… a match filled to the brim with champions!.
Loydson: AKA, The EWC’s version of shit on a shingle!.
Martinez: You are just an amazing person.
Duggan: Indeed.
Chriqui: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall and has no time limit, Introducing first, from his own little bubble, weighing in at 230 pounds, he is the EWC International Champion... CYRUS BLACK
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 gives 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: And his partner, from Aledo Texas, weighing in at 270 pounds… he is the EWC Undisputed Champion, DOMINIC SANDERS!
The lights go out... 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. Sanders rolls underneath the bottom rope and into the ring. He jumps up to his feet and stares out into the adoring 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: What a match we have in store tonight folks!
Loydson: Yawn.
Martinez: It’s going to be a real slobber knocker.
Duggan: That’s not your line but i agree! Our International and Undisputed Champs look FIRED up.
Chriqui: and their opponent, from London, England weighing in at 205 pounds... He is one half of the EWC World Tag Team Champions, SCORPIO!
'Iconic' - Madonna feat. Chance The Rapper 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.
"THE ACE OF SPADES!!! THE ACE OF SPADES!!!"
The crowd hears Lemmy's growl, and they go nuts as the opening bass line to 'Ace of Spades' rips through the arena. As the drums kick in, pyro goes off up and down the ramp in time with the beat, while frenetic red and gold spotlights pulse through the building before fixating on the ramp.
Chriqui: And his partner, Making his way to the ring, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He is the United States Champion... THE GAMBLER... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!
There's a huge explosion as the guitar kicks in, and the crowd roars as the one and only Ace King rises from a platform through the smoke of the pyro and into the spotlights, soaking in the ovation with his championship draped over his shoulder. 'The Gambler' stays on a knee, taking the title down to look at it for a few seconds. He takes a deep breath and walks to the ring, calmly interacting with fans all the way down the ramp.
He stops for a couple seconds at the end of the ramp, then charges to the ring, with gold pyro exploding from the turnbuckles as he dives in under the bottom rope. He spins up onto one knee and stares out into the crowd before getting to his feet and hoisting his championship up for all to see. Once he hands the belt to the referee, he gets his game face and chats with Scorpio for a few.
DING DING DING
Scorpio and Cyrus start this one out as they meet in the center of the ring in a tie-up, Cyrus slips under into a waistlock but Scorpio fights out before he can land a German suplex. Scorpio gains wrist control as he twists around into a hammerlock.Scorpio releases the hammerlock to slide on a chokehold as he backs up to his corner… Ace tags in and Scorpio holds Cyrus long enough for Ace to land a stiff neck breaker with a cover, kickout at one. The audience claps and Dominic tells them to shut up. Back in the center Cyrus fights to stand but a shoot kick to the jaw dazes him long enough for Ace to jump into a clothesline. Ace drags Cyrus back to enemy waters as Scorpio tags in and leaps into Cyrus with a moonsault. Scorpio covers, but kickout at one again. Dominic is getting really pissy on the outside as he starts yelling at Cyrus to come on. Scorpio pulls Cyrus up and attempts a hurricanrana but Cyrus drops it into a powerbomb right on Scorpio’s head! Scorpio rolls over, dazed and in pain but aware enough to make the tag, but Cyrus grabs his ankle and stops him! Cyrus pulls Scorpio into a German suplex but maintains waist control before rolling over and lifting into a second German, still keeping waist control. Cyrus rolls up and pulls Scorpio up into a nasty third German that drops him right on his head! Scorpio is trying to get to his feet but Cyrus scroops him up and drops him into a brainbuster, Cyrus covers! One… T… No, Kickout by Scorpio. Dominic yells at Cyrus, who stumbles over and tags him in.
Duggan: Very even match thus far folks.
Loydson: Evenly boring.
Martinez: its amazing seeing masters of their craft work.
Duggan: I completely agree Omar. .
Dominic wastes no time putting the puts to Scorpio, stomping a mudhole into the smaller man and then dragging him up. Dominic shoves Scorpio backwards into the corner before rushing in and hitting a wicked bigboot. Scorpio stumbles out and before he can fall Dominic takes a back and hits a huge German suplex with a bridge! But they are too close the ropes and Scorpio gets a rope break. Dominic smiles at the camera before giving Ace a smile as well and pulling Scorpio up by his hair. Dominic sends Scorpio into the ropes and on the rebound Scorpio eats a massive lariat! Clothesline from hell! Dominic makes the cover, but Ace is there to break it up instantly with a kick to the back of Dominic’s head. Ace leaves the ring on Toyo’s command while Dominic cusses him out. Dominic pulls Scorpio back up by his hair but Scopio leaps up into a hurricanrana before rolling as fast as he could to his own corner, Ace tags in!
Duggan: OH BOY!
Ace rushes towards Dominic and floors him with a dropkick. Ace quickly rolls up and kicks Dominic while he’s down before pulling Dominic up into a reverse DDT! Ace attempts the cover but Cyrus is there to break it up with a diving headbutt! Toyo is checking up on Cyrus while Dominic springs to his feet and catches Ace with a thumb to the eye!

Dominic pulls Ace up and grabs his torso with Ace’s hand over his shoulder before lifting and flipping into a t-bone suplex, Funky TownI! Dominic goes for the cover but a moonsault from Scorpio breaks it up!
Duggan: These men are throwing everything they’ve got at each other!
Loydson: And not even being entertaining about it!
Dominic stands up and grunts before pulling Scorpio up to get some revenge, but Scorpio shoves him back and connects on Dominic with a roundhouse kick! Dominic stumbles backwards into his corner, and Cyrus tags in! Cyrus rushes towards Scorpio and jumps into a dropkick but Scropio jumps towards Cyrus and catches him with a double stomp to the mid section! Ace is in their corner, Scorpio rolls out onto the apron and tags in before jumping back into one. Cyrus is up! Cyrus and Scorpio begin to trade back and forth while Ace catches his breath on the outside, but Dominic runs up and hits another clothesline from hell to the back of Ace’s head! Dominic begins to stomp down on Ace, but back in the ring, Scorpio has taken control! Hammering away on Cyrus. Scorpio goes for a roundhouse kick but Cyrus catches it! Cyrus flips Scorpio backwards onto his head! Scorpio is rolling up, trying to get to his feet but Blackout! Cyrus lands his Blackout knee to the back of Scorpio’s head! Cyrus pulls Scopio up onto his knees and rushes the ropes before landing a second Blackout to the back of Scorpio’s head! Cyrus covers. One… Two… Three!
DING DING DING
Duggan: Wow, what a match! Definitely lived up to the hype.
Loydson: Seeing Dominic kick Ace around like a ragdoll certainly was a lot of fun.
Martinez: I too really enjoyed the match!.
Duggan: Congratulations to Cyrus Black and Dominic Sanders!
Ringside Dominic collects his belt and leaves, Cyrus gets his hand raised while Creme De Creme checks on Scorpio in the ring. Medical staff check on Ace, who pushes them away. Dominic laughs on the ramp and disappears into the back. Scene fades.
Annabelle
Vs Kendrick Kross
(X-Division Match, X-Division Championship)
(No Time Limit)
(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)
...
Duggan: Welcome back everybody! We're finally about to start our Main Event of the evening. Can Kendrick retain his newly acquired X-Division Title, or will Annabelle snatch it away tonight? We're going to see that answer soon.
Loydson: My money's on B, just because Annabelle's a goddamn monster in her own rights. And it's no secret she's wanted this for a very long time.
Martinez: Be that as it may, we know Kendrick isn't gonna just hand that strap over. He's gonna give her a fight.
Duggan: Well, here we go. For anyone at home, it'd be advised to not have young children watch this match. It's probably gonna get brutal.
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.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall. It does have X-Division Rules applied to it, and is for the X-Division Championship! Introducing first, from Atlanta Georgia, weighing in at 110 pounds… she is... ANNABELLE!!!
Duggan: The match hasn't officially began yet, and you can already feel the tension in the air.
Loydson: Indeed. Kendrick's got one hell of a fight tonight.
Martinez: Probably one of the toughest of his career this year.
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. Kendrick is revealed on the stage with a red spotlight put on him, his X-Division Championship around his waist. Kendrick reaches back and unsnaps the title throwing it on his right shoulder. A smirk crosses his face before he begins to walk down.
Chrqui: Her opponent, from Chelsea London, weighing at 215 Pounds....Kendrick KROSS!
Kendrick slowly walks down the ramp ignoring any fans that try to touch him. He just shakes his head at signs that read 'Kendrick Sucks' and other various signs. He reaches the bottom of the ramp and stops as he lets a small smirk out and he takes a breath. He closes his eyes before opening them and walking forward taking a left towards the steps. He hops over the top rope and onto the second turnbuckle looking out into the crowd before jumping down and walking to his corner.
DING DING DING
Despite being the slightly shorter of the two, Annabelle gets up in Kendrick's face. She smirks at him and he returns the favor. Annabelle jumps up, attempting to get height for an aerial attack, but Kendrick isn't having any of that! He catches her before she can get too much momentum, wraps his arms around her waist, and throws her over himself with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex. He smirks, looking very happy with himself, but damn well nearly does a double take as he sees Annabelle already back up on her feet.
Annabelle waves, her own smirk having spread across her face, and charges forward! She greets Kendrick with a huge Bicycle Superkick, temporarily stunning the champion!
Duggan: Ouch. She really does want this, huh?
Loydson: Well no shit, Sherlock. What gave that away?
Martinez: Now here comes the real challenge. We've seen bigger and stronger opponents go against Annabelle. Can he make this work to his advantage? Or will Annabelle outlast him?
Duggan: Time to find out!
Kendrick shoots a stern glare at Annabelle as he storms up towards the challenger. He grabs her by the shoulders and thrusts a knee repeatedly into her gut! One! Two! Three! And he keeps going, even after that!
Annabelle throws elbows and punches, trying to slip away. It takes a bit of time and effort, but a well-placed elbow to Kendrick's midsection finally gives her exactly what she needs. She slips behind the champion, grabs the sides of his head, and pulls him down with a Reverse DDT!
Suddenly the camera cuts to the rafters!
Loydson: Look! He is here after all!
Grizzly Duggan: What could he possibly be thinking up there? His wife is in the middle of a brutal X-Division Title match!
Martinez: I find it even scarier when Luke isn't speaking. After being set on fire at Hardcore Revolution by Sanders... what could possibly be on his mind??
Loydson: LOOK OUT!
Annabelle begins to lift Kendrick back up to his feet, not wanting to wait for him to recover, it seems. Kross backhands Annabelle. The hit makes her reel and stumble away, giving K2 ample space and time to recover from the DDT. But when the camera focuses back on Annabelle, we see she's already making her way towards the turnbuckles, as if taking the forced movement to one of the corners and using it in hopes of working for her as opposed to against her!
Right as Annabelle finishes turning herself so her back is facing K2, he wraps his arms around her, this time using a German Suplex to throw Annabelle violently down onto the canvas!
He mutters angrily under his breath and gets out of the ring. He grabs a nearby chair and brings it back with him into the ring. Kendrick yanks Annabelle up by the hair, forcing the chair underneath her so she's lying on top of it. The champion then proceeds to give her abdomen a few more well-placed kicks to ensure she stays down.
But he doesn't stop there! Kross gets up on top of the ropes ... and jumps down right onto Annabelle's already bruised and abused gut! Post Mortem (Coup De Grace) from the top rope!
He quickly hooks the leg, hoping to retain!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-- NOOOOOOOO!
Annabelle just barely kicks free, leaving the champion and audience shocked. But the crowd is loving the display and cheering, with half seeming to root for Kross and the other half chanting for Annabelle!
K2 glares furiously down at Annabelle and gives the side of her head a Pele Kick!
She's staying perfectly still ... is she even conscious?!
It almost doesn't look like it, but Kendrick isn't willing to take any chances. Now he takes his turn and forces Annabelle to stand up, beginning to barrage her body with numerous punches and kicks. Some to her sternum and gut, others to her arms, a few to her legs, and another small handful finding her head. Throughout the entire assault, she barely moves, and that alone makes the referee try to call for the bell.
But Kendrick insists he's not done!
He picks up where Annabelle was trying to finish, and goes up on the top ropes! Mountains Rain (Phoenix Splash)!
He hooks the leg yet again!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, in 30 Minutes... and STILL X-DIVISION CHAMPION, KENDRICK KROSS!
Both gave it their all, but his determination and wanting to prove something to everybody in EWC - especially Rampage and Brawl - helped Kendrick pull through tonight.
Loydson: That and the chair he used to make the Coup De Grace more painful.
Martinez: Even still, this was an X-Division match. Weapons and brutality were to be expected.
Duggan: That's it for tonight, everybody. Join us again in a few more weeks for another episode of Friday Night Rampage! Good night!
