---------------
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.

Emmanuelle Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the EWC United States Champion…
A somewhat reserved reaction from those in attendance at Arena Monterrey.
Emmanuelle Chriqui: ...And… NEWWWWWWWWW… Undisputed EWC Champion…
That gets a much louder cheer from the Monterrey crowd, the enthusiasm ramping up to the point of a fever pitch as Chriqui announces…
Emmanuelle Chriqui: HE IS ‘THE GAMBLER’... ACE! KIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGG!!!
The crowd chants the last name with Chriqui, and then, a few seconds later…
“THE ACE OF SPADES! THE ACE OF SPADES!”
As Lemmy’s signature vocals fill Arena Monterrey, the fans ramp up the cheering as the guitars kick in, and they erupt when Ace King finally steps out onto the stage, the United States Championship wrapped around his waist and the Undisputed Championship over his shoulder.
Grizzly Duggan: This is the moment our new Undisputed Champion has coveted for so long!
Phillip Loydson: ...And one I wish never happened.
Javier Martinez: Credit where it’s due, guys: Dominic Sanders put up one hell of a fight at Scars and Stripes, but ‘The Gambler’ had just enough to finally take that last step!
Ace looks out at the crowd, clearly mouthing the word ‘Wow’ as a small smile and pronounced exhale suggests he’s overwhelmed by the reception. He unhooks the United States Championship from his waist and holds it in his right hand, with the Undisputed Championship in his left. He pauses for a moment, then triumphantly raises both championships high into the air!
Phillip Loydson: The nerve of him…
Grizzly Duggan: I don’t know what show you’re watching, but I know what he’s like in the ring, and I always felt this day could come, the only question was when.
Javier Martinez: The man has shown time and time again that ge’s got a champion’s heart, and that finally paid off in the biggest way the last time he stepped in a ring.
Phillip Loydson: So Bob Vila could be Undisputed Champion, too? Anyone can climb a fucking ladder.
Confetti slowly falls from the ceiling as Ace makes a slow walk down the entrance ramp, genuinely humbled by the reception as he casually high-fives fans on either side of the barricade. Many emotions are clearly flooding the double Champion’s mind as he tries to focus his attention on the ring; after quickly scanning the crowd, he takes a few steps back, then charges into a dive under the bottom rope, triggering a flurry of golden sparkles from all four turnbuckles. He gets up to a knee and looks at the confetti surrounding him in the ring; he moves as if he’s going to do confetti angels, but eventually gets to his feet and retrieves a microphone from a ringside attendant.
‘Ace of Spades’ eventually fades out, leaving ‘The Gambler’ alone in the ring, surrounded by a passionate Arena Monterrey audience, chanting ‘ACE! ACE! ACE!’ in unison. Ace looks out at the crowd, his eyes already watering as he puts his hand to his mouth to keep his emotions in check. Before he can raise the microphone to his mouth, the fans switch to a feverish chant of…
YOU DESERVE IT!
YOU DESERVE IT!
YOU DESERVE IT!
‘The Gambler’ puts a championship on either shoulder, a small smile crossing his face as he finally raises the microphone to his mouth.
Ace King: You guys really are too kind, thank you…
Ace heaves heavily as the chants consume him once again; his eyes scan the crowd, and ‘The Gambler’ takes in the moment before once again raising the microphone.
Ace King: As most of you know, I’m just a guy from Nevada who had a dream to make something of himself… But I took my first steps toward fulfilling my purpose in this very city, so I can say, from the bottom of my heart, that this moment wouldn’t be happening if not for my time right here in Monterrey, Mexico.
There’s a sincerity to the double Champion’s word as the crowd responds in kind with a loud cheer, which eventually disintegrates into a soccer-style chant of “OHHHHH ACE IS A CHAM-PION!,” which catches ‘The Gambler’ off-guard and gets a laugh out of him before he composes himself.
Ace King: The 21-year-old Ace who'd only been training here for three months dreamed of one day being in this building when it first opened. The younger Ace would have been over the moon just getting to compete here, but to have this be the first place I compete after becoming the Undisputed Champion of the Extreme Wrestling Corporation while still being the United States Champion? Man, this is beyond anything I ever could have imagined.
The crowd cheers boisterously for the double Champion, who briefly scratches the top of his head before nodding to acknowledge the fans before continuing on.
Ace King: I’ve been open in saying this is a day I doubted would ever come, and in many ways, this still feels surreal, because so many things happened along the way that could have easily crushed me. In fact, I specifically remember standing in this very ring about 18 months ago in Honolulu, Hawaii… This was the first show after the hardest night of my career, falling to Drake at Wrestlefest in Melbourne after I left everything I had between these ropes…
The crowd politely cheers and begins chanting for the late EWC Hall of Famer; Ace simply nods along and encourages it for a moment before brandishing the microphone once more.
Ace King: That was rough, but as I stood in this ring that night, I told the world I would continue to set a high standard, so I knew I had to push forward and believe this was still possible. It may not have been a straight trajectory, but I think that actually makes this so much more satisfying, because it makes me living proof…
Ace pauses as his voice begins to break, allowing the crowd to cheer boisterously once more; ‘The Gambler’ is clearly feeling the emotions flow through his body, unable to control himself.
Ace King: It makes me living proof that if you set your mind to it, ANYTHING TRULY IS POSSIBLE!
The double Champion thrusts both his championships high into the air, prompting another raucous ovation from the Monterrey crowd; Ace laughs briefly to mask his other emotions, though there are small tracks on his cheeks. ‘The Gambler’ takes one more deep breath, then leans on the ropes as he looks out at the crowd.
Ace King: Now, here’s the thing: To anyone who might think this means my foot’s coming off the gas pedal… Not a chance. If anything, this means I only have to work harder to set the kind of standard being the Undisputed Champion and the United States Champion demands, and after having a target on my back for so long, I’m truly ready to embrace any challenge thrown before me. It starts later tonight with one Silas Isaac Naberius…
Ace barely has S.I.N.’s name out before the boos come raining down; ‘The Gambler’ simply shrugs his shoulders and pushes forward.
Ace King: It starts with him, not to mention whatever’s coming my way for Night of Champions in a month’s time… And then, should I survive that… I know you’re coming back to try and reclaim your throne, Dom, and I look forward to that challenge, just as I do every challenge… But regardless of who steps up, you better understand you’re getting the same Ace King I’ve always been: A man who will be RELENTLESS with his desire to be the best version of myself, a man who will NEVER back down from a fight… and hopefully, a man worthy of being called a Champion of multiple stripes in EWC.
With that, ‘The Gambler’ sets the microphone down and ‘Ace of Spades’ reprises; the double Champion grabs his bottom lip and exhales before raising his championships aloft one more time before rolling out of the ring and greeting the fans at ringside.
Kenneth Williams, Mark Storm and Archer Barrett
Vs Legion, Oliver Carver and Tanja Devereaux
6 Person Tag, 25 Minute Time Limit
Ref: Peirce Patterson
Duggan: This next one should be really interesting! 6 Person tag action to open the show!
Loydson: Go ahead and put us all to sleep early.
Martinez: Never change Phil, never change.
Duggan: Boys, play nice.
Chriqui: The following 6 person tag is scheduled for one fall… Introducing first, at a combined weight of 683 pounds… MARK STORM, ARCHER BARRETT and KENNETH WILLIAMS!
The three men walk out, not looking at each other nor the crowd. They head straight to the ring.
Duggan: Here we goo! .
Loydson: Oh my go…
Loydson doesn’t get to finish that thought as Legion, Oliver and Tanja suddenly rush down the ramp and slide into the ring. It’s on!.
DING DING DING
Everyone is brawling it out, there is chaos and Pierce cannot get order! He teases a double DQ but before he can Archer and Kenneth are both dumped out by Tanja! Legion lands a FaithBreaker onto Archer on the outside while Tanja rushes the ropes and slides out and lands the Hoodoo neckbreaker onto Kenneth! But back inside the ring Oliver is calling for the Sharpened Blade! But Mark lunges forward and lifts Oliver up into a torture rack before quickly dropping him down with the INCURSIO! The stiff knee right to the back of his head! The ref is calling for the bell, Mark’s super finisher seems to have ended this one early! Oliver is trying to get back to his feet, he’s screaming it was nothing but a flash. He’s still in this one! But the refs call is final! Tanja and Legion argue with Pierce but he’s not budging. Oliver is pleading but the ref signals again…
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match via ref stoppage. Mark Storm, Archer Barrett and Kenneth Williams!
Duggan: A controversial call to say the least, and I wouldn’t be too surprised to see this match happen again in another variation down the road.
Loydson: Thank god it’s over. ..
Duggan: Folks, I'm hearing we have a word from our general manager on this matter!
The camera quickly pans to the...
AC: Really Pierce? Oh boy. Ladies and gentlemen, I can see a few of you are pretty steamed right now and hopefully I have a way to resolve that... You see, at the upcoming Night Of Champions Pay-Per-View it will be Oliver Carver Vs Tanja Devereaux Vs Legion! Meanwhile, Mark Storm will be facing El Chupacabra! I hope these will be two matches you all enjoy!
Duggan: Two massive matches made official ahead of Night Of Champions! But now we move on to our second match of the night...
Jonathan Thomas Cross

Vs Phoenix Winterborn
Singles Match, 25 Minute Time Limit
Ref: Mike Michaelson
Duggan: Our second match of the evening has Jonathan Thomas Cross going one on one with Phoenix Winterborn.
Loydson: Cross has been here for quite some time now, hasn't had the best of luck in terms of opponents he's come up against over the years but he's stuck around and hopefully things will start to pick up for JTC.
Martinez: Winterborn has been with us since the start of the season and he's had quite a mix outing, managing to pick up a few wins but also suffered a few losses too. He'll be looking to head down the straight and narrow with a win tonight, which could potentially move him up the card.
Duggan: It's going to be a good one that's for sure, with a lot at stake for both men.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 225 pounds... JTC!
'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, as Elizabeth Cross comes walking out right behind him. Just as JTC stands there in the middle of the spotlight, Elizabeth wraps her arms around JTC chest as they en-change a kissed as they walk down the ramp holding hands as JTC gave some fans a high five. They get to the bottom of the ramp as they both slides in the ring. Stands in the middle of the ring as Elizabeth wraps her arms around JTC chest again.
Duggan: JTC had quite a few things to say leading up to this match-up earlier today. He acknowledged that Winterborn has been in this profession for a long time, longer than he's been around but ultimately, when it comes down to it - JTC believes that he is a born winner and that that's the difference between the two men.
Loydson: I'm not too sure how much I agree with that statement to be honest with you. JTC has been here for quite some time and if he was a born winner, he'd have a championship belt or two in the accolades, wouldn't he?
Martinez: Nevertheless, JTC has made it very clear that he's confident going into this match with Phoenix. It's going to be interesting to see how both men approach this one.
Chrqui: And his opponent, from the Windy City of Chicago, Illinois weighing in at two hundred and twenty eight pounds, he is CHI-TOWN'S FIIIIINEST....PHOENIX WINTTTTTERBORNNNN!
Pyros hit as the opening to "Robot Rock" by Daft Punk begins to play, as Phoenix steps out onto the stage, his head dipped down for the opening guitar riffs, and his hood pulled up on his head. Upon the high guitar, Phoenix stands straight up, throwing the hood back and revealing himself to the crowd to a round of cheers. Making his way down the ramp, his arms are outstretched as he walks backwards, taking in the moment before sliding face up into the ring to run of the opposite corner, and climb onto the second rope, slapping his chest to get the crowd fired up while his music slowly fades out.
Duggan: Phoenix spoke to EWC.com earlier today and he spoke about how this match against JTC is a must win. He's known of JTC since their days on the independent scene, so he'll be quite familiar with what JTC has in his arsenal.
Once the bell rings, both men begin to circle the ring before colliding in the centre, a standard collar to elbow tie up has both men jockeying in position. Winterborn manages to gain the upperhand and pushes JTC back into the corner, with the referee having to count him down before he releases his grip. The two men circle the ring once more before engaging in another collar to elbow tie up in the centre, with JTC getting the advantage this time and locking Winterborn in a side headlock, slamming him down to the canvas shortly after and keeping the hold intact. Winterborn scurries for the ropes, managing to use his leg to connect with it to force the rope break. JTC releases him from his grasp and brings him back up to his feet, leaning him against the turnbuckle and connecting with a series of backhanded chops to the chest of Phoenix, who winces in pain. He then attempts the Irish whip into the opposite corner, Winterborn reverses, sending JTC into the turnbuckle. Winterborn then charges towards him, delivering a big splash in the corner before taking off to the ropes himself, bouncing off of them and delivering a shotgun dropkick on JTC, who rolls to the outside of the ring.
JTC recuperates on the outside whilst Winterborn basks in the cheers and applause from the fans, bowing to them with a smile etched on his face. JTC walks around the outside of the ring, with Winterborn offering to let him into the ring with no sneak attacks or evasions. JTC takes him up on that offer and enters the ring, with the fans applauding the sportsmanship shown by both men. For a third time, they engage in a collar to elbow tie up, but Phoenix is quick to transition it into a wrist lock on JTC, wringing his arm around before yanking it down. JTC holds onto his right shoulder, biting through the pain as Winter then sends him into the ropes. JTC bounces off of them and ducks under the lariat attempt, turning him round and hitting an Enziguri kick out of nowhere. Phoenix staggers in position as JTC then takes off to the ropes, bouncing off of them only for Phoenix to hit him with the feint superkick, stunning JTC and the fans in attendance with the slickness of his delivery. Phoenix then goes for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
A kickout by JTC!
Duggan: A fast start from both men out here tonight and it's evident that they're not going to be holding back on one another out here either.
Loydson: There can't be any holding back here tonight for either of these men, if they want to get to where they want to be, they're gonna have to give it their all and that's what excites me most about this match! There's so much riding on it.
Martinez: So much riding on it with a twenty five minute time limit too.
Cross is in the corner of the ring in a seated position whilst Phoenix stands opposite him, running up towards JTC and leaping up in the air as he reaches him, connecting with a devastating dropkick! Phoenix then rises to his feet and signals the end of the contest, waiting as Cross gradually gets to his feet too. He looks for the 'Light of the Apocalypse' but JTC somehow manages to evade, striking his way out of the situation. Cross connects with stiff strikes to the side of the head of Phoenix, who's startled by the aggressive approach that Cross is taking. Cross delivers a kick to the knee of Phoenix who then falls to a knee. He goes in behind him, looking for the 'Knockout Kick' but Phoenix manages to duck it! Phoenix then connects with a series of three Back Spinning Heelkicks for the 'Reign of Fire', that has Cross down and out on the canvas. This allows time for Phoenix to climb the ropes, reaching the top - he positions himself steadily, before performing his finishing maneuverer; 'Flight of the Phoenix', inverted 450 splash! He covers JTC!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Chriqui: And your winner, via PINFALL, PHOENIX WINTERBORN!
Duggan: What a win for Phoenix Winterborn!
Loydson: It seems as if things might be going in the right direction for Winterborn after this match, a great effort from JTC but you don't kick out of those ones.
Martinez: A great effort and a great match up.

Morgan Alexander
Vs Ryoichi Nishimura
Vs Solomon Cain
Triple Threat Match, 25 Minute Time Limit
Ref: Mike Michaelson
Duggan: We've got three very exciting debuts up for you next and boy, this one has the potential to steal the show here tonight.
Loydson: I've got to say, when this match was announced I wasn't so sure what to expect. But after listening to what each man has had to say leading up to this one, it's very clear that they are all adamant on finding success here in the EWC! Meaning that this one right here, is going to be hot - with first impressions at stake!
Martinez: We've done extensive research on all three men who will be facing one another tonight and I've also got to say, not only are they good at the talk - but from what we've seen from video clips and highlight reels, they can back up what they say with what they do in the ring. It's an exciting one and I can't wait for it to start!
Duggan: Let's get it moving then!
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is a triple threat match! Introducing first, from Santa Monica, California - weighing in at 218 pounds... MORGAN ALEXANDER!
'Built To Fall' by Trivium plays through the PA system, with Morgan Alexander emerging onto the stage as smoke rises around him. Alexander smirks before he swaggers his way down to the ring, rolling himself in before hoisting himself onto the top rope and posing for the fans, nodding his head as he smirks arrogantly.
With the sound of War Dance by Shen Yi blasting through the speakers, the crowd stands in interest and excitement as they see a hooded Ryoichi walk up onto the ramp, baseball bat in one hand resting on his shoulder, his head bouncing to the beat of his entrance music.
The crowd meets the presence of Ryo on top of the stage with a mixed chorus of boos and cheers as the man nods to his manager Chad Richman flanking him and with a confident strut walks down the ramp towards the ring. Taking his time, he walks up every ring step with the continued bounce of his entrance music's beat until he ultimately climbs the turnbuckle into the ring. With a quickened pace he moves and climbs onto the turnbuckle opposite to him, pointing his bat at the closest camera.
Chriqui: And his opponent, accompanied by Chad Richman, he hails from Roppongi District of Tokyo, Japan. He is TOKYO GUNSLINGER - RYOICHI NISHIMURA!
Putting his free hand in the shape of a gun, he 'fires' at the camera before turning around and taking a seat on the turnbuckle, handing his entrance clothes and baseball bat to Chad Richman who passes on some final words of encouragement, as Ryoichi awaits the entrance of his upcoming foe.
Chriqui: And their opponent... from Cleveland, Ohio - weighing in a 255 pounds... "The Lost Child" - SOLOMON CAIN!
"Bury me with my guns on" by Bobaflex plays through the sound system as Solomon Cain emerges onto the stage, slowly walking down the entrance ramp, his face vacant from any emotion. He rolls himself into the ring and walks over to his designated corner, kneeling in position as he eyes up both of his opponents.
Duggan: All three men are out now and you can cut the tension with a knife! The atmosphere is electric right now.
Loydson: This is a big match for all three men who will be looking to make a good impression on their debuts here. A lot of people come to the EWC but are unable to live up to the hype that they create for themselves. They become just another name that eventually vanishes but I've got a lot of hope for all these three out here tonight, but of course, there can only be one winner.
Martinez: I couldn't call it either, but that's the best thing about it guys!
Duggan: And our third match of the evening is about to start!
DING DING DING
Once the bell rings all three men begin to circle the ring in unison, eyeing each other up as they all look for an opening. It's Nishimura who makes the first move by delivering a kick to the thigh of Solomon Cain, who does well to remain on his feet considering the power that was behind that strike by Nishimura. Alexander then looks to catch Nishimura off-guard but the Tokyo Gunslinger is quick with his reaction, managing to strike him hard in the thigh too.
Cain and Alexander then both share a glance before turning their attention on Nishimura, and at the same time, they run towards him - with Nishimura having to duck under their double lariat attempt and head towards the ropes. He bounces off of them, this time rolling underneath their arms and getting to his feet, a quick combination of strikes connect with Alexander, who falls to a knee - with Nishimura then turning his attention on Cain. He goes another combination of strikes but this time to Cain.
The Lost Child blocks his attempt and delivers a headbutt that sends Nishimura stumbling back towards the turnbuckle. Cain then grabs Alexander and Irish whips him towards Nishimura, who manages to get an elbow up in time to attack Alexander. Alexander then stumbles back towards the centre of the ring with Cain locking him into a Muay Thai clinch and deliver a series of knees to his head. He then throws him aside with Nishimura running towards Cain, hitting him with a low drop kick to the knee. Nishimura then gets to his feet and delivers a shining wizard on Cain. Before Nishimura can attempt a pinfall, Alexander grabs him from behind and delivers a huge German suplex on Nishimura! Rising to his feet and posing to the fans who applaud him for his efforts.
Duggan: Wow! What a start to this contest with a quick exchange of moves from each of these men!
Loydson: We knew it was going to be tough, we knew it was going to be hotly contested but I don't think any of us would've imagined quite a sequence like that.
Martinez: Alexander has the upper-hand at the moment but he can't bask in his glory for too long.
'The Dark Defiler' Morgan Alexander then turns his attention to Solomon Cain, who's set up in the corner of the ring leaning against the turnbuckle, whilst Nishimura recovers on the outside. Alexander then heads towards him, connecting with repeated punches in the corner before leading him back to the centre of the ring. He looks to get him up in the air with a vertical suplex but Solomon holds his ground, using his strength and power to remain on his feet. Cain then strikes his way free from his grasp before grabbing him, belly to belly style - lifting him up and over for the belly-to-belly suplex!
Alexander arches his back and winces in pain. Nishimura is on the apron and springboards his way in the direction of Cain, connecting with a springboard elbow that knocks the big man off of his feet. Nishimura then goes for the cover but barely manages to get the one. Nishimura then repeatedly kicks Cain, targeting his neck which is only infuriating 'The Lost Child', who is slowly rising to his feet despite the kicks. Nishimura then deliver an open palm strike to Cain, who turns his head and roars back at Nishimura, blocking his second strike attempt and connecting with a headbutt. Nishimura staggers around the ring whilst Cain takes off to the ropes, bouncing off of them and looking for a big lariat - but Nishimura ducks out of it, heading to the ropes himself.
Before he can rebound, Alexander grabs his leg from the outside of the ring and trips him up, dragging him to the outside of the ring and delivering a vertical suplex to the floor! The fans nearby cringe at the sight of it and Alexander seems rather pleased with himself as he walks passed a few of the fans in the front row, eliciting jeers to echo through the arena. Whilst Alexander is distracted, Cain rolls himself to the outside and stalks him. Once Alexander turns around, Cain charges towards him and flips him inside out with a HUGE LARIAT! Solomon then rolls him back into the ring before joining him, patiently waiting in the corner as Alexander gradually rises to his feet too. Solomon then charges towards him, looking to connect with his finishing "Curtain Calls" knee strike to the head! BUT ALEXANDER MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Alexander then manages to hit him with "Dark Defiler", an Arm Trap Headlock Driver! BUT BEFORE HE CAN GO FOR THE PIN, NISHIMURA TURNS HIM ROUND! He lifts up and delivers brainbuster into a sit-out powerbomb, also known as 'Prairie Sunset', following this with a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via PINFALL, RYOICHI NISHIMURA!
Duggan: That's how you make an impression! A debut win for Ryoichi Nishimura out here tonight and this man looks as if he means serious business here in the EWC, I can't wait to see what else he has to offer in the coming weeks.
Loydson: Congratulations to Nishimura but you've got to give it to the other two competitors involved in Nishimura and Cain, what a performance from both of these men who I hope we'll be seeing a lot more of here on Rampage.
The camera opens backstage where it looks like we are in the middle of a lucha libre convention as by the looks of things the entire Volando clan has descended on Arena Monterrey for tonight’s Rampage, at the center of the swarm of masked individuals is Xavier Reid…
Reid: Listen...I have a match soon so I’m going to need you to either head to the suite or find something or someone else to annoy…
Perdido: Where is our father Xavier?
Abando: Yeah, we haven’t seen him all day?
Xavier looks over at his cousin Tlatoani who gives a slight nod and quickly looks away and avoids anyone’s eyes...
Reid: He is back at the hotel, he’s meeting with reps from the EWC about bringing the two of you into the mix to ‘spice up’ the tag team division…
Perdido: Really?
Abando: Seriously?
Tlatoani: Yeah...there was a scout at the show the other night and they were impressed with your teamwork, you might want to head out and get a good seat out there to watch ReBelle v. America’s Most Hated...you may get the winners real soon…
The two cousin’s high five and run off to get seats...
Jerry: They really are lovable moron’s aren't they?
Chiquitita: Moron’s yes...lovable not so much…
Jerry: So...do I want to know what happened to Villano and why you told me it’s best to turn off my phone…
Tlatoani: Best that you don’t know dad…
Reid: This way you have deniability uncle…
Jerry looks a little uneasy at his son and nephew but Xavier puts his hand on his shoulder...
Reid: I know deep down you didn’t want him here anyways uncle, that he would just try to act like he was in charge and be annoying so I left his name off the list and had the girl at the front desk call his room before he left and told him Delaney’s office was on the phone for him…
Tlatoani: That she would be right with him and then we hightailed it over here to the arena before he could follow us and force us to let him in…
Reid: And then gave the kid checking talent in $100 NOT to find me tonight…
Tlatoani: So chances are he’s standing outside the arena right now looking like a giant goof screaming at some poor kid…
Chiquitita: And we are all the better for it…
Jerry looks at the three of them and shakes his head...
Jerry: Yeah...better I know nothing and just go get my seat...Verana, are you and Vertigo coming with me?
Verana: We will meet you out there...we are going to go see Ace and congratulate him on his big win...hopefully he still isn’t mad at the two of us for beating the hell out of El Pablo and that whole burying him alive and kicking him out of La Mazamorra…
Vertigo gives a thumbs up as the two of them run off to find the new Undisputed Champion...
Tlatoani: And you three…
Tlatoani looks over at Sr. Espejo’s three kids Koko, Voltro and Otro...
Tlatoani: It seems your dad was unable to sneak his way back into Mexico...seriously do any of you know how the hell he got himself banned from crossing the border…
The three sons all shake their heads no as one of the vendors drops his carton full of drink and pulls off his jacket to reveal that Sr. Espejo did in fact make it across the border and infiltrated not only Mexico but Arena Monterrey...
Sr. Espejo (in a terrible Mexican accent): And you all thought it couldn’t be done but here I am...just like I said I would be…
Reid: Why the hell were you dressed up as a vendor…
But his answer would have to wait because Brian Spade comes walking up to Xavier and taps him on the shoulder...
Spade: Xavier...a quick word…
Xavier looks at Spade and nods...
Spade: Xavier tonight you step into a match that is...well interesting to say the least as you team with a man that you have had quite the rivalry with for most of 2019 in Kendrick Kross as you face off with Gabriella Visconty and someone who you seem to be having a war of words with in Samantha Hamilton…
Reid: Listen I know many are hoping to see Kendrick and I implode out there tonight and just start trading punches or what-not but we are focused on the task at hand tonight...hell we at least were on the screen together to talk about tonight’s match...something Sam and Gabi were unable to do...yet we are the dysfunctional team right?
Spade: Well yeah you are Xavier...listen…
Reid: No you listen...we can be professionals out there tonight and take care of our business between the time the bell rings to start the match and the time the bell rings to end the match and then can go back to wanting to cave each other’s skulls in
Deep Voice: Luke and Annabelle were found brutally attacked in their hotel room prior to Scars and Stripes and yet we still have no answers to why and by who but until NOW!!! For too long Luke has stood there arrogantly thinking he knew all the answers to questions that have yet to be asked, thinking he was above everyone but I have brought him back down to earth. On the night where the prophecy Luke Wolfe spent weeks and months proclaiming was coming, the night where Ace King become The True Hero Luke had predicted Mr. and Mrs Wolfe were being rushed to the hospital due to the actions of my very own Prophecy, a prophecy that will rid the EWC forever of the Wolfe’s. For far too long we have been burdened by Luke and his prophecies now they lay in the hospital in critical condition but to truly rid the EWC of the Wolfe’s I must rip the weed from the ground with all the roots. The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit: The Trinity, now I have eliminated Luke and Annabelle, we will never see them again in the EWC but that still leaves one, The Son. Xavier Reid hell and brimstone is coming for you because I am going to eliminate everything Luke Wolfe touched from the EWC and now I’m coming for you, this Monday Night at Brawl all will be revealed and you will be joining Luke and Annabelle, DEATH is coming for you Xavier and DEATH will not be denied!!!
Spade: Um...Xavier…
Brian looks over at Xavier as he looks at the screen...a little white and not sure what to make of what he just heard…
Tlatoani: Xavier...what is this…
Spade: Do you know…
But Xavier snaps back and looks at Brian and then to Tlatoani...
Reid: Take these three and find Nikki...stay with her until my match is over…
Tlatoani doesn’t question things and motions for Koko, Voltro and Otro to follow him...he then looks at his uncle Sr. Espejo…
Reid: Villano is outside the arena...go get him and bring him in...I want all hands on deck and my back being watched out there tonight...if you see that thunder on the screen you ALL hit the ring...do you understand…
Sr. Espejo (in a terrible Mexican accent): Si….
Xavier turns and looks at Brian…
Reid: Listen...if Sam and Gabi want a fight out there than I’m the right man to give them exactly that...now I have to get ready…
Xavier looks at his cousin Chiquitita who has now picked up a pipe and looks ready to fight…
Reid: Chiquitita...you’re with me…
Chiquitita: I’ve got your back Xavier...
Xavier walks away as Chiquitita looks around as she follows her cousin but Brian yells out after him…
Spade: Xavier...what the hell was that...come on you can’t just walk away...Xavier….

Duggan: Next up... as you can hear by the fans chants around the Arena Monterrey... it’s Kiltbros time, as Cyrus Black and David Octane Gowolski take on the devastatingly powerful team of Dr Psycho and Bandana Joe Porter the gulf coast bad ass... MadHouse!!!
Loydson: The Kiltbros seems to have a large Mexican following! These fans must be drunk to back these three idiots... there wearing skirts!
Martinez: Kilts actually.
Duggan: I for one can’t wait to see Dr Psycho and Joe Porter team up, look at these two guys, they are dangerous, I don’t know how anyone can stop them.
Kyle Gautier comes out to the ramp with a mic in his hand, wearing his signature sash and small kilt
Gautier: Mexiccooooo..... I am your original GULF COAST SASS ASS... and it’s my pleasure to introduce first from Carson City Nevada... the sexiest EWC International Champion in history... CYRUS BLACK and his partner now residing in Dublin Ireland, he is the ab and jab 2019 champion DAVID ‘OCTANE’ GOWOLSKI... weighing in at a combined weight of non of your goddamn business... and together we are.... THE KILTBROS.......
Kyle Gautier starts singing a version of “I’m too Sexy” by Right Said Fred... “I’m too sexy for my Kilt... too sexy for my kilt.... too sexy it hurrttttssss....”. Cyrus and DOG come out to the ramp and stand either side of Kyle Gautier, as all three share a group hug before they walk down to the ring, greeting fans as they go.
Chrqui: And there opponents, Making Their Way to the ring at a total combined weight of 497 lbs Bandana Joe Porter, Dr.Psycho Together They are MAAADHOOOUSE!!!
As the Lights in the Arena Darken and "I Don't Wanna Stop" by Ozzy Osborne begins to play, suddenly Dr Psycho and Joe Porter come from the crowd, slide in the ring, catching The Kiltbros by surprise as they attack them from behind.
Loydson: Oh damn MadHouse aren’t wasteing any time! The bell hasn’t even rung yet!
DING DING DING
Dr Psycho and Joe Porter throw Cyrus and DOG out of the ring, leaving only Kyle Gautier standing next in the middle of the two brutes. Psycho and Porter close in on Gautier as he puts his fists up and prepares for a scrap, suddenly a loud charge erupts as DOG springboards from the top rope into the ring, as he double dropkicks both Psycho and Porter to the floor.
DOG fist bumps Gautier as he leaves the ring. Psycho and Porter are up right away, and they both start attacking DOG at the same time as the ref tries to regain order. Suddenly Cyrus Black grabs Psycho from behind, launches him from behind with a German suplex causing him to roll out of the ring. DOG and Porter are now the legal men as Cyrus goes back to his corner.
Duggan: What a chaotic start to this match! MadHouse were in control but the Kiltbros have fought back.
Loydson: They’ve got the numbers game! It’s not fair. Someone eject that sash wearing FSW clown from ringside.
Martinez: Kyle Gautier isn’t causing any problems, he’s a peaceful guy. It was Psycho and Porter that were going for him.
DOG runs off of the ropes and back at Porter, leaping in the air for a cross body but Porter catches him in mid air. Porter lifts DOG high and then brings him back down onto his knee for a backbreaker, instead of letting him go Porter keeps a hold of DOG and hits him with another backbreaker... and then a third and a fourth before he tosses DOG to the floor. Porter taunts Cyrus on the ring apron before mouthing something towards Gautier on the outside.
Porter tags Psycho as Cyrus leans over the ropes and urged DOG to get up and make a tag. DOG tries to pull himself to his feet using the ring ropes but MadHouse are on him right away, Pyscho lifts DOG up high onto Porters shoulders as they hit him with a double pop up powerbomb. Psycho pins DOG as Porter charges at Cyrus and knocks him off of the ring apron with a hard forearm smash. Much to the surprise of both Psycho and Porter, DOG kicks out at two and half. This enrages MadHouse as they both start to rain down kicks on DOG.
Loydson: Porter and The Doctor are mad now... D.O.G is in trouble!
Porter picks DOG up and holds him, for Psycho, who runs off of the ropes and comes back with a running big boot but DOG scrambles out of the way at the last minute and Psycho bit boots his own partner! Porter falls over the top rope as DOG surprises Psycho with a Pele Kick.
Before DOG can make the tag to Cyrus, Porter comes in the ring, he charges at DOG shoulder tackling right into the referee. Porter drags Psycho to his corner and makes a tag before he runs and big boots Cyrus off of the ring apron. Porter heads to the outside then grabs a steel chair from the time keepers area, and heads back into the ring. As DOG gets to his feet Porter raises the chair and swings it towards it him... but before the chair strikes DOG from nowhere Kyle Gautier jumps in the way and takes the full force of the chair shot!! This gives DOG time to hit Porter with an Enzuiguri, then Cyrus rushes into the ring and knocks Porter to the floor with his finisher the Blackout! DOG then leaps to the top rope and hits his finisher Doggy Style, making the pin and getting the Kiltbros the win.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, The Kiltbros!!!!
Duggan: Wow The Kiltbros pick up a big win... but I gotta say Kyle Gautier just took one for the team there!
Loydson: Gautier got involved in the match, like I said it was three on two all night. It wasn’t fair on MadHouse.
Martinez: Are you kidding me? Joe Porter was ready to take DOGs head off with a chair! This isn’t a no DQ match. All Gautier did was save his friend!
Duggan: A chaotic end to that match. We will be right back with you after this break.
Cyrus and DOG help Kyle Gautier up the ramp as the cameras cuts to a commercial break.

Duggan: boys, play nice.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall with a 30 minute time limit… Introducing first, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 138 Lbs pounds... MELODY MALONE!
The lights dim down, eventually leaving the arena in darkness. A low rumble comes over the PA system, as white noise that sounds almost like bad vinyl slowly starts to get louder and louder.
You make me vicious
Watch as I make the pain my mistress
You can call me Miss Malicious
I'll dress you up in stitches
No, I can not resist this
Smoke billows across the stage as the lights slowly start coming back to life and Melody Malone slowly saunters her way out from backstage. She's clad in a long jacket that is just barely buttoned at the midriff but still exposes a leather harness-looking outfit.
If it don't hurt I get suspicious
I like to take the knife and twist it
Yeah my love is sacrilegious
I'm not scared to admit it
This violence is delicious
As the music hits its crescendo Melody throws her head back and outstretches her arms, prompting pyro to shoot out in a 'V' behind her.
What doesn't kill me
Makes me vicious
I'm not gonna break
I can take all that you can give
This is survival
Of the sickest
I am not afraid, bring the pain
Melody continues down the ramp toward the ring, ignoring the fans ringside with a half sneer. She climbs up onto the apron, stepping in between the bottom two ropes before she takes her place in the center of the ring. She pulls the jacket open, revealing her leather halter harness. She removes the jacket and tosses it off to the side, adjusting the fingerless gloves on her hands as she takes a step back from the center of the ring and awaits her opposition.
Duggan: Melody looking especially confident tonight!
Loydson: They don’t make em like that anymore rook.
Martinez: Put it away Loydson.
Duggan: Boys, play nice.
Chriqui: Her opponent, from Jacksonville, Florida, weighing in at 167 Lbs pounds... MERCURY!
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.
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
The match starts off on fire with Mercury taking it to the FSW Championship #1 contender. Mercury blasts her with a dropkick before pulling Melody up into a swinging neckbreaker. The crowd is fully behind Mercury at this point, and they pop loudly when he drags Melody up and lands a textbook hurricanrana with a pinning attempt for a two! But luck has a way of changing as Mercury drags Melody up and gives her the momentum to leap into an enziguri! Melody rolls out onto the apron and is quickly up the ropes before leaping into the ring with a corkscrew moonsault, it's Off With Their Head! Melody pulls Mercury up and spikes him hard with a Nightmare Fuel DDT. She smirks and pins. One… Two… Three!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, in 5 minutes... Melody Malone!
Duggan: Mercury looked so good coming out of the gate but Melody Malone with that devastating enziguri to set up two finishing moves, and that’s all she wrote for Mercury tonight.
Loydson: My god what a woman!
Martinez: Truely an impressive win as Melody moves on to Uprising to try and win back her FSW Championship!
Duggan: Best of luck to her there..
Duggan: We’ve got team action coming out of our ass tonight!!! Next up we see the team of Gabrielle Visconty and Samantha Hamilton take on Xavier Reid and Kendrick Kross.
Loydson: I want to see some hard hitting brutal fighting here! I wanna see teeth flying everywhere and blood covering the mat at the end of the match! This is rampage so I want... a rampage!
Martinez: No more coffee for you.
Duggan: All four superstars will be looking to throw down a marker here tonight, they all have there own agendas. I’m intrigued to see how this one plays out.

Xavier doesn’t acknowledge Kendrick, instead just walking straight down to the ring with a purpose. Kendrick smirks before slowly making his way towards the ring himself.
Duggan: We have a Linkin Park concert going on tonight! Let’s talk real for a moment all four competitors all lost at Scars and Stripes.. so they all want to get back to winning ways! You are watching four of the very best EWC has to offer in the ring right now, let’s do this!

After a brief discussion between Gabi and Hamilton, Hamilton starts the match for her team, Reid gets in the ring for his team but as the bell rings Kross leans over the ropes and slaps Reid across the back, tagging himself in. Reid eyeballs Kross as he makes his way over to Hamilton. Kross and Hamilton lock up, Hamilton whips Kross off of the ropes. Kross turns and leap frogs over Hamilton and runs off of the opposite ring ropes, as he turns Hamilton charges at him and hits a spear!
Hamilton quickly pins Kross, looking to end the match early when all of sudden Reid springboards into the ring and lands on top of Hamilton’s head with a leg drop. As Reid gets to his feet Gabi suddenly springboards off of the top rope and hits a double knee face breaker on Reid, then before Gabi can get to her feet Kross charges at her and hits his finisher The Tramp Stamp on her! The crowd are on there feet applauding all four superstars efforts.
Duggan: I am out of breath watching this one already! A spear, a springboard legdrop... a springboard face breaker and the cherry on top... a tramp stamp!!!
Martinez: It’s chaotic but in an awesome way! The Mexican fans are on there feet for this match, and now Kendrick Kross is the only one on his feet in the ring.
Kross leans against the ropes, still feeling the effects of the earlier spear, as he surveys the carnage in the ring. The ref checks on Gabi as Reid rolls out of the ring to the outside floor. Hamilton is on her knees now as Kross comes at her, hitting some vicious looking kicks to her side and her mid rift. Hamilton’s side is red raw as she manages to catch Kross’s leg on one of his kicks, she brings her elbow down on Kross knee as he shouts some explicit words loudly and stumbles back in pain.
Hamilton pulls herself to her feet as she goes to her corner to tag Gabi, but Gabi is on floor on the outside still trying to recover from the earlier Tramp Stamp. Kross quickly comes from behind, sweeping Hamilton to the floor and grabbing a hold of her Leg, locking her in an ankle lock!
Martinez: Oh my, this is a dangerous situation for the Titaness to be in! She’s in trouble as Kross has the submission locked in good.
Hamilton reaches for the ropes but is unable to touch them as Kross tightens his grip on the ankle lock. The ref asks Hamilton if she wants to quit but she won’t give up. Just then Gabi leaps onto the ring apron, and leans over the ropes as Hamilton stretches her arm out as far as she can as the fans urge the tag to be made, and she just about manages to touch Gabi’s hand as the tag is made! Gabi jumps into the ring as Kross tries to get to his feet, she hits a flying knee attack on him. Gabi then rushes off of the ropes at one hundred miles per hour, she leaps onto the middle ropes and moonsaults backwards, landing straight on top of Kross. Gabi makes the pin as the ref counts....

TH....Kross gets a shoulder up as the fans start a Gabi Vee chant around the arena Gabi takes the bow for the fans as she laps up the crowds attention, then suddenly she sees a fan in the front row shouting stuff at her as he holds up a ‘Cyrus Black’ sign. Gabi rolls out of the ring and gets in an quick exchange of words with the fan before she snatches the sign away from him, ripping it up in front of his face. The crowd are loving it as they chant her name louder.
Loydson: While I’m not Cyrus Black fan if I was Gabrielle I’d be focusing on her match right now and not what the fans are doing!
As Gabi gets back into the ring Kross surprises her with a roundhouse kick, knocking her to the floor. Reid is back in his corner, as he urges Kross to tag him but Kross ignores him much to Reid’s frustration. Kross picks Gabi up, hitting her with a European uppercut then as she bounces off of the ropes and back at him he hits an exploder suplex on her sending Gabi half way across the ring towards her own corner.
Kross then turns to Reid and stares at him for a second before slowly sticking his hand out towards him. Reid slaps Kross’s hand and gets in the ring, as he does he mouths something towards Kross that isn’t picked up towards the cameras.
Martinez: I think there’s a little bit of friendly rivalry going on between Reid and Kross in this match, I’m enjoying it.
Loydson: Something tells me there’s nothing friendly about it! Remember these four might be teaming with each other tonight but in the long run they are all in direct competition with each other.
Gabi is about to tag Hamilton in when Reid charges across the ring and leaps in the air, catching Hamilton with a knee to the face sending her crashing from the ring apron to the floor below. Reid then unloads a fury of sharp kicks and chops to Gabi’s legs and side, each strike hitting hard than the last. Reid then steps back and pulls his foot back as if he’s ready to kick Gabi in the head, just as he pounces forward he suddenly stops in his tracks and instead of kicking her, he slaps Gabi across the face with an open hand! The fans did not like that as they boo Reid, who shrugs his shoulders and smiles for the camera.
Martinez: Oh my this crowd is hot tonight, and they did not like that slap from Reid to Gabi Visconty... not one bit. Except the Cyrus Black fan in the crowd... he loved it.
Reid whips Gabi into the corner, he then takes a run and hits a running face wash on her! Reid then takes Gabi to the top rope and hits one his moves he calls X-Odus, a brain buster suplex onto the top turnbuckle. Reid pins Gabi...

THRE....Reid is pulled out of the ring by Hamilton, breaking up the count! Hamilton kicks Reid in the gut, then picks him up and onto her shoulders, she runs with Reid and launches him with a powerbomb into the steel ring post! The fans are going wild!
Martinez: The strength of Samantha Hamilton is unbelievable! She’s just left Xavier Reid a broken mess on the floor next to us.
Hamilton picks Reid up and rolls him into the ring, she then gets onto the ring apron as Gabi tags her in. Hamilton picks Reid up onto her shoulders again into a torture rack. Reid is in pain as Hamilton uses all her power to apply as much pressure as possible onto Reid.
It looks like Reid is fading fast as the ref keeps an eye on him. Kross can also see this, and as he tries to get into the ring the ref holds him back. With the refs back turned Reid turns to desperate mesasures, he reaches down and stabs a thumb into Hamilton’s eye. Hamilton immediately lets Reid out of the torture rack as she holds her face. Reid scrambles to his corner and tags Kross in. Hamilton at the same time backs off to her corner and tags Gabi back in.
Loydson: A classic thumb in the eye by Xavier Reid... I approve.
Kross tries for a lariat on Gabi but she ducks the move, with his back turned Gabi leaps onto Kross and hits a Reverse Frankensteiner on him. Gabi then climbs to the top rope, but before she has a chance to do anything else Reid runs along the ring apron, using the top rope to spring up and kick Gabi off of the top rope, she falls back in to the ring and onto the mat.
Kross gets to his feet and drags Gabi to the corner, climbing to the rope rope he hits his move Post Mortem on her! Before Kross can make the pin Gabi, Reid slaps Kross on the shoulder and tags himself into the ring. As the ref urges Kross out of the ring, Reid makes the pin on Gabi...

Duggan: That was a frantic but entertaining match up, and Reid and Kross coming away with a big victory. Although Reid stoke the pin from Kross in the end, that was a bit cheeky.
Loydson: All is fair in love and war! It’s all about proving who’s better.
Martinez: I have to give it up for Gabi Vee and Samantha Hamilton though, they were so impressive tonight.
Duggan: Ok we will right back with you after this break... and guess what, it’s another tag match!
Xavier Reid is standing at the top of the ramp as the camera catches him winking at Kendrick Kross who’s standing at the bottom of the ramp staring him down as the camera cuts to a commercial.
America's Most Hated
Vs ReBelle
Non-Title Tag Bout, 60 Minute Time Limit
Ref: Toyo Yasahiro
Duggan: This one should be interesting... America’s most hated against the tag team champions ReBelle!
Loydson: Dominic Sanders our champion forever is a wounded animal here tonight, that makes him dangerous. With Iggy Swango in his corner, those two are a formidable force. ReBelle are up against it tonight.
Martinez: I disagree. I believe it’s Dominic and Iggy that are up against. They’ve had one tag match together and lost. ReBelle are the best tag team in the EWC and possibly the world. I’d bet my money on they getting a victory tonight.
Duggan: I’m more interested in seeing Georgie Nickles and Dominic Sanders square off, there’s been some animosity between those two on social media! Perhaps there’s a little sexual tension going on there.... hmmmm....
Chriqui: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall, Introducing first... from Aledo, Texas. Weighing in at two hundred and seventy pounds...DOMINIIIIC SAAAAANDEEERS!! and his partner standing in at five feet seven inches tall, weighing at one hundred and forty-five pounds, from San Francisco, California... IGGGYYY SWAAAANNNNGGGGOOOOOO!! And together they are representing.... AMERICAS MOST HATED!!
”Drop the World” by Lil' Wayne plays as Dominic Sanders comes out to the ramp to a chorus of boos which he seems to relish in. He takes a step to side and points to the entrance ramp as “3's and 7's"- Queens of the Stone Age plays and Iggy Swango comes out to a mixed reaction. Iggy gives Sanders a nod of her head and they both head down to the ring.
Chrqui: And there opponents, Please welcome, at a combined weight of 342 lbs, accompanied by Crème de la Crème, they are the EWC TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.... the team of 'The Rebel Child' Georgie Nickles and 'The S-Factor' Scorpio... REBELLE!
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.
DING DING DING
Nickles starts the match for ReBelle as she gestures towards Sanders to get in the ring with her. Sanders acts like he’s going to come at her but then he backs out with a smirk on his face as he lets Swango start the match. Scorpio can be heard calling Sanders a ‘PUS*Y’ to which Sanders flips him the middle finger.
Nickles and Iggy lock up, in a test of strength they both seemed evenly matched. Swango then stomps on Nickles foot causing her to stumble back to the ropes. Swango charges at Nickles who dives out of the way as Swango hits the ropes Scorpio uses the top rope to spring from the apron, leap up and kick Iggy in the head. Swango is stunned as she falls back , Nickles grabs her and hits a swinging neckbreaker on her.
Duggan: Great team work by the tag champs there! They work so well together.
Nickles hits a standing moonsault on Swango, she then reaches over to tag Scorpio in but before they can make the tag Sanders who has sneaked around the other side of the ring pulls Scorpio off of the ring apron. Sanders grabs Scorpio and whips him straight into the steel steps.
Nickles tries to get out of the ring but the ref stops her as Sanders points and laughs at her. Suddenly Crème de la Crème is in Sanders face giving him sass as the crowd go crazy.
Martinez: Yes! Sanders has done it now. You don’t mess with Crème de la Crème!!
Sanders holds his hands up and backs away Crème waves the ReBelle flag at him. A Crème de la Crème chant starts up around the arena.
Scorpio then makes the crowd go even crazier as he pounces on Sanders who falls onto the ramp and the two trade punches on the floor.
Nickles is watching the action from inside the ring when suddenly Swango grabs her from behind, catching her unaware, she rolls her up for a pin as the ref counts....

THR.... The ref breaks the count, Nickles has her foot on the boot rope. Swango bangs the mat in frustration.
Duggan: Swango nearly got the win for her team there, smart thinking by Nickles to get the foot on the rope... and Sanders and Scorpio are still going at it in the outside!
Scorpio takes a cup of fizzy juice from a fan in the front row, he throws it over Sanders face. As Sanders stumbles on the ramp unable to see properly Scorpio hits him with his move Glitterazi! Sanders is sprawled out cold on the ramp as Scorpio struts over to his corner.
Martinez: Damn Scorpio nearly took Sanders head off with that Glitterazi!
Swango picks Nickles up, Nickles catches her with headbutt, she then hits Swango with an tornado DDT. Nickles reaches over and tags Scorpio in. With Swango laid out in the ring, Nickles and Scorpio hit there tag team move Fabulous Revolution on her! Scorpio makes the pin....

THRE....Swango gets a shoulder up! Scorpio looks a little shocked.
Scorpio picks Iggy up, he leaps onto her shoulders for a hurricanrana but Iggy finds the strength from somewhere as she holds Scorpio up on her shoulders, but she runs and drops him on the mat with a running powerbomb! Both Swango and Scorpio are laid out on the mat as Nickles shouts for Scorpio to tag her.
Martinez: Iggy Swango showing some strength there to powerbomb someone bigger than her!
Scorpio pulls himself to his corner and manages to tag Nickles in and at the same time Iggy gets to get corner just as Sanders climbs onto the ring apron. Iggy tags Sanders in. Sanders and Nickles stand off on each other for a moment before they both rush at each other. Sanders goes for the clothesline from hell but Nickles counters it into her finisher Shining Anarchy, she makes a pin.....

Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen... we have hit our 60 minute time limit!!!
Duggan: WHAAAT?!?!
Loydson: Iggy and Dominic just got robbed!!!.
Martinez: I feel we are owed a rematch for sure! No time limit!
Duggan: The first time limit draw in FN'R history, holy shit! But folks we cannot focus on this history making moment too much... It’s main event time next, don’t go anywh...
The sound of exaggerated applause pulls all attention to the MacTron.
From the screen Damage Inc glares into the arena. The crowd reacts loudly to them with a mixture of cheers and jeers.
Malice: " Well, well, Hell. Another great showing by our contemporaries in the tag division and another classic match by the Champs. ReBelle everybody! Let's hear it for them! Let's hear it for the girls!"
Mayhem: "Best dressed talent in the whole damn company. A MODEL team in and out of the ring."
The crowd has gone quiet and confused.
Malice: "And that is exactly the line that you ignorant people expect from us isn't it? You expect the numb witted meat head act. You expect narrow minded homo-phobic gender shaming. You see us and much like our past opponents you expect a single dimension. But I think that after Scars and Stripes that ReBelle should know us better than that. But then after our first contest against them WE know the two of them a bit better as well."
Mayhem: "We're not here to make excuses. We're not here to blame our failure on the blindness of a single referee. The fact of our loss was the fault of no other but ourselves. WE underestimated the champions. WE bought in to the notion that our size, strength and speed would easily carry us to the apex of this division. WE were wrong. We underestimated the one aspect of The Champions that could not be judged by the tale of the tape: Their DESIRE to remain on the top of the heap."
Malice: "Tenacity. Force of Will. The two of you brought that to the ring in spades. On that night You were the better team and proved why it is you have a hold of that gold. But you can only fool us once and for that there is no shame at all. Not on us. Not on you. Because it won't happen twice. We learn from our mistakes, and though those lessons are hard for us to take, they may prove to be even worse on those who have given us the education."
Mayhem: "And there is no substitute for a good education. ReBelle: You two took us to class and indeed we learned our lessons well. But now it is examination time. It's time to take the test. Final Exams... REMATCH. It's time for US to show YOU just how well we retain what we've learned. Class time is over. It's time for the real world to begin. Rematch."
Malice: "Rematch. Any time you choose. Anywhere you choose. ANY match you choose. The gauntlet has been thrown down. And that gauntlet is not made of fashionable silk, it is made of solid steel. It's not a request. It's a DEMAND."
Mayhem: "We await your response. But we don't plan to be patient for very long."
Malice: "And if you make us ask again. The next time we'll be asking in person."
Mayhem: "The balls are in your court. Let's see if you have enough to play the game again. See you soon... CHAMPS."
The screen goes dark with the sound of derisive laughter echoing out of the speakers.
Malice: " Well, well, Hell. Another great showing by our contemporaries in the tag division and another classic match by the Champs. ReBelle everybody! Let's hear it for them! Let's hear it for the girls!"

Silas Isaac Naberius
Vs Ace King (C)
United States Championship Bout, 60 Minute Time Limit
Ref: Toyo Yasahiro
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.
"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 Arena Monterrey. As the drums kick in, pyro goes off up and down the ramp in time with the beat, while frenetic red and gold spotlights pulse through the building before fixating on the ramp.
Chriqui: Making his way to the ring, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He is the The EWC Undisputed and United States Champion... THE GAMBLER... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!
There's a huge explosion as the guitar kicks in, and the crowd roars as the one and only Ace King rises from a platform through the smoke of the pyro and into the spotlights, soaking in the ovation with his championship draped over his shoulder. 'The Gambler' stays on a knee, taking the title down to look at it for a few seconds. He takes a deep breath and walks to the ring, calmly interacting with fans all the way down the ramp.
He stops for a couple seconds at the end of the ramp, then charges to the ring, with gold pyro exploding from the turnbuckles as he dives in under the bottom rope. He spins up onto one knee and stares out into the crowd before getting to his feet and hoisting his championship up for all to see. Once he hands the belt to the referee, he gets his game face on while staring a hole through his opponent.
Duggan: Finally Ace lived his dream in winning the EWC Undisputed Championship at Scars and Stripes but he has to turn around and defend against Silas. This isn’t going to be an easy task at all, for the Gambler. I think he can do it though.
Loydson: The kid got LUCKY. He won’t get make it as champion, I can almost promise that.
Martinez: The new champ is in the HOUSE! Ace is going to get this one and continue that historic championship reign!
Duggan: Ace definitely has the upper edge here, but let’s get this going.
DING DING DING
The new champ stares Silas down as neither one move from their position, neither one of them wanting to give the upper hand to the other early in the match. They both start to walk into the middle of the ring, Ace goes for a tie up, SIN feigns going for one but sends a boot to the gut of King, catching him off guard. Ace doubles over which is followed immediately by a sharp elbow to the back of the neck sending Ace to a knee. Silas immediately starts going for kicks to the chest but Ace isn’t going to let him get him down that early as he catches his leg and looks at the challenger. King flips the script as he twists the leg around sending Silas onto his stomach and locking in a single leg boston crab. Silas grimaces a bit as Ace locks in the submission. Silas makes sure it isn’t locked in long though as he is able to crawl over to the ropes and break the hold. Ref Yasahiro looks at King and tells him to break it up and he does as he eyes Silas. Silas takes a breath and stands up shaking off the previous move and the two circle once more, they both go in for a lock up once again, this time it is successful. A battle of strength ensues before Ace is able to get the upper hand and locks in a headlock. He hits Naberius with a hip toss, causing King to have the top advantage.
Duggan: Nice few exchanges but it’s clear Ace has the upper hand here at the moment.
Loydson: Shutup Duggan...this kid is just getting lucky.
Martinez: What an amazing takedown by Ace! He is on his way to defending again!
Duggan: Ace is definitely looking impressive, here.
Ace tightens the headlock tighter and tighter, Silas though fights back. HE slams fists and elbows up against the torso of the champ causing him to let go and grab at his midsection. SIN rubs his neck as he takes a breather while both men are down. Naberius is first to get up but Ace isn’t far behind. SIN runs towards the ropes and bounces off of them, on the return hits Ace with a clothes line. Ace gets up quickly though and runs at Isaac, SIN hits him with a deep arm drag, this happens a few more times before Ace pops up and walks back towards the turnbuckle, Silas keeps an eye on Ace, clearly in control. Ace wanting to take back control runs towards Silas but Naberius hits The Gambler with a big back body drop and follows it up with a pin.

KICKOUT!
SIN looks at Yasahiro wondering how it wasn’t three but focuses back on Ace. Ace slowly gets to a knee where Isaac this time connects with the soccer kicks to the chest. The crowd counts along as he hits each one, ending with a kick to the head on ten. Not satisfied though, Silas picks up Ace and drags him to a turnbuckle where he puts him up on top of it. Silas wraps his arm around Aces neck and hits his the Silas’ Ladder to Hell. (Flowing DDT) A smile crosses his face as he rolls Ace over and goes for the pin.

NO! Ace got his foot on the ropes just before Yasahiro came down for three. SIN looks at Yasahiro trying to argue the point but he doesn’t budge which causes him to lose focus on Ace who has slowly started to stir. Ace eventually is able to grab SIN and pull him down towards him but ends up throwing him outside of the ring. Ace, holding his head rolls out of the ring a bit stumbled. He slowly picks up Sin and throws his shoulder onto the metal post of the ring. SIN grimaces and lets out a small groan as he falls down to the floor.
Duggan: Ace has definitely taken control here once again. He is looking to end this soon you can tell.
Loydson: That kid Naberius is a damn fool. Not making sure he was pinning him away from the ropes. Idiot.
Martinez: That was amazing! Throwing his shoulder into the post like that? It was great by Ace!
Duggan: Naberius isn’t in a good way, that’s for sure. Ace needs to take advantage of this.
Ace takes a quick breather before he picks up SIN and throws him into the ring before the count of ten. Ace grabs Naberius who is flat on his back after being rolled in by Ace and gets him to his feet, wrapping his arm around Isaacs neck and grabs his waist hitting a suplex.
ONE!
He pops his hips comes back up and hits a second.
TWO!
Ace repeats it once again, hitting a third suplex.
THREE!
He finally finishes with a fourth suplex.

This completes the Four of a Kind which Ace immediately follows up with a cover, hooking the outside leg.

Naberius is able to get a shoulder up! Ace slams the mat in frustration as he was sure he won it. The Champ gets up and makes sure he doesn’t let up on the attack. As Isaac gets up he immediately gets hit by a dropkick straight to the nose. He somehow though is immediately able to pop up from it which Ace then follows up with a big sling blade as the crowd is now getting behind The Gambler. Ace gets on the top rope and waits for Isaac to get up to finally finish him. As he gets to two feet and is facing Ace, he jumps off the turnbuckle, grabs the head of SIN in his head and flips hitting a WILD CARD! (Diving Front Flip Piledriver) He immediately goes for a cover again.

Duggan: How did Ace not win there!? That was an amazing Wild Card!
Loydson: I told you, this kid isn’t as good as he is made out to be.
Martinez: What a kickout! That was definitely amazing! Though, I know Ace is coming out on top.
Duggan: This match has been a good one.
Ace looks at Ref Yasahiro in disbelief wondering how someone could kick out of that. Ace once again slaps the mat in frustration, this time harder wondering what he has to do to be able to put Naberius away. Ace picks Silas up but Silas pushes him away and spits mist in his face, using the Secular Haze. Ace falls down to a knee and not letting up he gets hit in the face with a running boot to the face. Not wasting time, Silas goes for the Silas’ Ladder once more but somehow Ace pushes him away and gets him up on his shoulders in a torture rack which he transfers to a Psycho Driver, hitting the Blackjack Bomb!

Chriqui: And your winner, and STILL EWC UNITED STATES CHAMPION!, via PINFALL... The Gambler...ACE KING!
Duggan: What a match! Silas definitely showed he’s championship material but it’s going to be hard to beat Ace King.
Loydson: That Kid is still horrible. HE got lucky that’s all.
Martinez: That was amazing! Ace deserved to win and he did!
Duggan: Tonight was a great night of matches. Thank you for joining us for this episode of Friday Night Rampage. Goodnight!
