The show starts off with video footage detailing historic events over Monday Night BRAWL's history.
From episode 001 in 1997 all the way down to the last episode #544 in Atlanta.
Images of previous EWC Champions are shown, starting with the very first Champion Black Ninja, then moving onto Big Mac and Steve Bennett. Sped up footage then shows a special montage of Memphis Reigns, Shadow Man, Hirsh Valentine, Jesse Nunez, Hurricane Jeff, Moses Lake, James Chambers, BDC, Jay Cee, Stray, Gladiator, The Rev, Ruthann Hunter, Ashton Drake and then Xplode all with the EWC Championship.
Sped up footage again then takes us through to current Monday Night BRAWL Superstars: Xavier Reid, Iggy Swango, Dominic Sanders, Darius, Kendrick Kross, Stephanie Matsuda, Cyrus Black, Solomon Cain, Vida Nocturna, Sabrina Agbonlahor, Happy, Darius, Dylan Starr, and The Artist.
We then get a shot of the Champions of BRAWL:
Stephanie Matsuda with the X-Division Championship
Cyrus Black with the International Championship...
...and the Undisputed Championship
The opening pyros blast across the stage and here we go.
A wide aerial shot shows that the KFC Yum! Center is electric for Monday Night BRAWL!

The show is live... and the excitement is at a fever pitch!
Signs can be seen all over the arena/stadium, some reading:
"LOOK AT ALL THESE INTERGENDER MATCHES...CORNETTE IS PISSED RIGHT NOW"
"I WANNA JOIN DIESEL PUNX MC"
"SILENCE IS GOLDEN"
"IT'S NEARLY TIME TO RUMBLE IN TEXAS"
and "I AM THE LOUISVILLE SLUGGER"
Aiello: Hello folks, and welcome once again to Monday Night Brawl! I'm Joe Aiello alongside my colleagues Max Carter and Steve Bennett, and we have an amazing show in store here in Louisville!
Carter: A slew of singles encounters awaits us on the undercard here at the KFC Yum! Center. We'll see Joe Porter taking on Vida Nocturna's Leighlah Rose, Darius and Xavier Reid look to push the limits of what's acceptable in the state of Kentucky, Melody Malone joins us on the red brand after making her way to Rampage to take on Brawl's own Kendrick Kross, and Gabrielle Visconty taking on one half of the Tag Team Champions, Scorpio!
Bennett: Hell, if you think that's exciting wait till ya see what we've got on tap in our main event! Stephanie Matsuda is ready to defend her X-Division Championship against TWO tough competitors in Jamaal Jackson and Samantha Hamilton in X-Division triple threat action...if the War Queen ain't careful, she might lose her title to either Hush or the Titaness without even being pinned or forced to submit!
Aiello: Indeed, an exciting night of action awaits you tonight on the four hundredth and fifty-fifth edition of Monday Night Br--wait a minute, I'm being told something's happening backstage...
The camera cuts backstage as a 1967 Chevrolet Impala pulls up in the car park. After a few moments Cyrus Black steps out from the drivers side of the car, the Undisputed championship draped over his shoulder. Cyrus pauses for a few moments before approaching a member of security situated at the exit door.
Cyrus: Howdy my good friend, you wouldn’t by any chance happen to have seen a tiny colorful looking girl running around with a championship in her possession... much like the one I’m holding right now?
Security guard: Can’t say I have sir.
Cyrus: Are you sure? Think carefully, she resembles a hyperactive child who’s been given too much sugar. She’ll have been giggling away and maybe have even told you she’s a movie star now.. and again she has a championship that looks like this. She goes by the name of Gabrielle Visconty.
Security guard: You know what, now you mention it I do remember her. She said she was heading towards the locker room, called herself the current International title holder
Cyrus pauses for a moment, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
Cyrus: Gabi... f***kin... Vee...
Cyrus quickly makes his way across the car park and into the center. After a moment the exit door next to the security wguard opens and Gabrielle Visconty emerges, a sly smile across her face as she locks eyes on the security guard.
Gabi: Did he buy it?
Security Guard Hook, line and sinker.
Gabi hands Mike a $20 bill and giggles.
Gabi: Too easy. Thanks Mike. Let the games begin.
Gabi grins and pats the International title that’s across her waist as the camera goes back to ringside.
Aiello: Looks like Gabi's up to her tricks early tonight. Folks, up next is our opening match of the night...don't go away!

INTERBRAND INTERGENDER INSANITY: BIKES & BEVERAGES
[SINGLES MATCH]
Joe Porter
VS Leighlah Rose
VS Leighlah Rose
Aiello: Folks, we're kicking things off with hot singles match as Joe Porter looks to get some momentum back his way at the expense of Leighlah Rose! Take it away, Jessica!
We cut to ringside, where Jessica Stroup is standing by.
Stroup: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...representing Diesel Punx M.C., from Biloxi, Mississippi, weighing in at 297 pounds...BANDANA JOE PORTER!
The lights go out, and we can hear the sound of a Chopper throughout the arena as Joe Porter rides down the ramp, stopping just so he can enter through the ropes into the ring to a chorus of boos.
Carter: Porter still looks pretty pissed after the past few weeks!
Bennett: Hell, I can't say I blame him! He's ready to prove he's as tough an SOB as he says he is, and he's ready to deal with Leighlah Rose to make that statement!
Stroup: And his opponent...representing Vida Nocturna, from Saint Antoni, Ibiza...she is the Queen of the Nightlife...LEIGHLAH ROSE!
"Adagio for Strings" by Tiesto plays throughout the arena, getting the crowd pumped for Leighlah Rose as she makes her way to the ring.
Aiello: After watching Kali Diyosa score a win last Brawl, Rose looks to keep the momentum going for her team in this singles encounter!
DING DING DING
As the bell sounds, Rose uses her agility to avoid the strength of Porter...only to eventually be caught with a boot to the face that sends Rose down hard to the canvas! Porter goes right to work on his smaller opponent, stomping away at the midsection before dropping a big elbow! Porter brings Rose to her feet before whipping her toward the ropes...but as Porter goes for Brogue Kick on the rebound, Rose dodges and manages to catch Porter off-guard with a low dropkick!
Porter is down on one knee as Rose follows through with some kicks of her own, trying to wear down Porter before hitting him with a Shining Wizard that sends Bandana Joe flat on his back! This is a great opportunity that Rose seizes, covering Porter for the pin: 1...KICK OUT BY PORTER!
Aiello: What strength by Joe Porter, kicking out at a solid one count!
Bennett: Rose is gonna have to do a lot more damage to faze Porter, by the looks of it!
Porter is back on his feet now, grabbing Rose and sending her to the corner before laying into the Queen of the Nightlife with lefts and rights! He gets up close to Rose, only to jam a thumb into her eye to the delight of no one, the crowd booing Porter as he lifts Rose off her feet for a brainbuster! With that, Porter goes for a cover: 1...2...KICK OUT BY LEIGHLAH ROSE!
Aiello: I don't believe it, Leighlah Rose is still in this one!
Porter looks furious at this, yelling at the ref that his count was a three when Porter is suddenly turned around by Rose, who nails Porter hard with a Codebreaker! BLINK! Rose covers Porter as the ref counts: 1...2...3!
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winner, via pinfall... LEIGHLAH ROSE!
The ref raises Leighlah's arm in victory, Porter still livid upon waking up from that Codebreaker as we cut back to the commentators.
Aiello: Well folks, it looks like Vida Nocturna has done it again. Now that these two have shown their worth in singles competition, it's only a matter of time before we get them back in the ring together! Up next, Darius takes on Xavier Reid here on Monday Night Brawl!
Camera cuts to ...
The camera cuts to the center hallway as Cyrus Black power walks towards the locker room door, pushing it open with force.
Cyrus: Aaahaaa caught you, you pink haired gremlin, give me back my....
Cyrus stops in his tracks, realizing that Gabrielle Visconty is nowhere to be seen, infact the locker room is empty except for a single chair that’s leaning against one of the lockers. From a distance, resting on top of the chair looks to be the EWC International Championship. Cyrus grins from ear to ear as he swiftly approaches the chair. Snatching the championship up in his arms, his delight immediately turns to dismay as he sees that the International Championship in his arms is a foam replica version, and it has a sticky note plastered on it which reads “To my bestie Cyrus, lots of love from Gabi Vee.”
Cyrus: Unbelievable...
Dropping the replica championship on the floor, Cyrus’s eyes are drawn to the locker room that the chair is leaning against, which has a label on it that says “Gabrielle Viscontys locker.” Cyrus pulls the chair out of the way and places a hand on the locker handle and pulling it open. In a flash a puff of colorful confetti and glitter bursts out and covers Cyrus as the song “congratulations and celebrations” by Cliff Richard booms out from a speaker inside the locker. Cyrus blows the confetti off of his lips and starts to laugh.
Cyrus: Gabi... F***kin... Vee. Well played
Cyrus tries to brush the confetti and glitter out of his hair as he slowly walks back out of the locker room. Once the door is closed Gabrielle Visconty suddenly appears from the showers where she clearly had been watching the whole thing, looking pleased with herself as the camera zooms in on the International Championship that’s sitting around her waist.
We move to a commercial break.
We open up backstage. Upon closer inspection, we see Samantha and Joseph in The Titaness' locker room. She's watching the show on a TV that had been already placed in her room. The first match just ended, and preparations for the second fight are underway.
A soft sigh passes Sam's lips as she stands up, looking over to Joseph with a smile.
Samantha "The Titaness" Hamilton: While we're waiting, want me to see about getting some water or something from a vending machine?
Orion nods at the suggestion, giving his wife an appreciative smile.
Joseph "Orion" Hunter: Sounds great. Sure. Try to hurry back though so you don't miss the next fight.
Sam merely smirks and opens the door. Her eyes widen in shock and then anger as she finds Darius behind the door. Darius grins widely, gives a sarcastic wave to Sam, and then lunges forward at her, but Joseph pulls her out of the way!
Darius runs into Joseph, making both men stumble for a moment, but then Joseph manages to take control of the situation by for a bit by shoving Darius into a locker, but then Darius grabs Joseph by the head and slams his face into the locker! This doesn't stop Joseph however, as he then shoves Darius up into the locker and pins him against it.
The two men continue scuffling and struggling with one another. Joseph is the first to speak, although it's in between grunts and heavy breaths.
Joseph "Orion" Hunter: Go on and ... head somewhere else. I'll keep him still!
Sam looks hesitant. Normally, she doesn't heed her 'flee' instincts. However, with tonight being a huge match for herself ... she nods, albeit very begrudgingly, and listens to her husband's words. Once Sam is far enough away, Orion's focus remains on Darius. Prior to now, he'd been keeping him pinned against the locker, gripping tightly onto his shoulders.
Now that he knows Sam is safe, he finally strikes, thrusting a knee up into Darius' gut. But he doesn't stop at one attack. Joseph lands two more in before glaring furiously at the other blonde, eyes narrowed as he keeps his hold on the taller man's shoulders.
Joseph "Orion" Hunter: Now ... here's what's going to happen. You may not have been generous to my wife at Night of Champions. And because of that, I shouldn't be either; however, I'll offer you one chance. You leave ... and go right to your match. After all, you're not just against anyone. No, you're up against Xavier Reid. And while I personally haven't faced him, I've seen Sam go against him. I know he's tough. So ... you can either leave with minimal injuries or ... I can keep beating on you some more. The choice is yours, but ... I very highly recommend you select the smarter option. So, what do you wanna do, hmm? Keep being a tough guy or be more intelligent?
Darius grins and starts to chuckle, shoving Joseph away from him. He then brushes himself off and steps away from the locker, moving towards the door.
Darius: You know damn well that I have zero interest in you and that is why you're acting like a tough guy right now. I have zero reason to waste my energy on you right now because you're right, I have bigger fish to fry. You're "wifey" is safe for now, but you won't always be around to take the beating for her, and I won't always have bigger fish to fry. So with that said, I have a pipsqueak to stomp, and then I have an X-Division championship match to watch. Who knows ... Maybe she'll win and become the new champ.
Darius steps outside and slowly starts to shut the door, but looks over his shoulder first.
Darius: And if she does, I'll be the one to peel it off from her unconscious body after I destroy her and claim what is truly ... Mine.
Darius then slams the door shut as he leaves. The camera focuses on Joseph, who is visibly pissed off by the confrontation as we move to the next scene...
The camera cuts backstage to Xavier Reid’s locker room where Nikki Dupree watches as Xavier gets ready for this match against Darius
Nikki: I know you are pissed about not being in the Main Event tonight…
Xavier: I’m fine…
Nikki: That two others are fighting in a match you should be in…
Xavier: There is nothing I can do about it…
Nikki: I know it’s on your mind that it could be Hush or even Samantha Hamilton that ends Stephanie Matsuda’s X-Division Championship reign…
Xavier: If they do...so be it…
Nikki: But I need you locked in on Darius tonight…
Xavier: I am…
Nikki: In the past...in moments like this...moments where you have been slighted...you have had one eye on your match and the other elsewhere…
Xavier: I have both eyes on Darius…
Nikki: And it’s cost you...you slip up in matches just like this and Xavier if you do it tonight it will cost you...not just the match but a chance to face the winner of the Main Event…
Xavier stands up and grabs Nikki…
Xavier: Listen to me...I am focused on Darius and Darius only...I can’t change things now...the Main Event is what it is...best of luck to all three of them...all I can do tonight it once again show that I deserve the winner of this match...I have a WIN over the champion, I KO’ed the former champion...now I need to go out and beat a former championship contender...it’s that simple...
Tlatoani: Yeah it is…
Xavier and Nikki both turn around and look at Tlatoani Volando who’s standing in the doorway…
Nikki: How are you not in jail?
Xavier: Seriously...how are you not in jail?
Tlatoani waves them off as he walks into the locker room
Tlatoani: Turns out we were not at Area 51 but Area 52...it’s a little base up the road...Chiquitita’s GSP got all confused so we stormed a base they use to store all the canned food in case of an apocalypse…
Nikki: Seriously….
Tlatoani: Yeah, I mean it’s the only way to make sense of why I’m here and not in a black site…
Tlatoani turns and smiles into the camera…
Tlatoani: Just so you know La Mazmorra now has a butt load of creamed corn but enough about this weeks menu, Nikki is right, you need to stay focused out there tonight Xavier, we don’t need another set back this late in the season or another reason for Jimbo Connors to not pick up your contract at the end of the year...because I can’t go back to the indies cuz...I just can’t…
Xavier: You guys...I’m ready for tonight...I wasn’t blowing smoke up Darius’ ass when I said I wanted this match, that I had been looking forward to busting him up...this guy fucks up a X-Division Championship match because he lost out and he’s proud of it...that’s what he’s known for and I’ll be damned if I let this guy beat me...I want to declare myself the next in line for that championship and it continues tonight...I know this isn’t an X-Division match but I’m going to push the limits and force my way into consideration...I’ll clean out the division and any threat to that championship until there is only me left...and when I’m done with Darius I’ll come back here and sit back and watch...I’ll see who walks out the X-Division Champion and then I’ll set my sights on them...but for now...right now...in this moment all that matters to me is Darius and the destruction of that man...now...if you two will please stop with all this...I’m ready...now let’s go…
Xavier turns and walks out the door as we cut to...
A COUPLE OF WILD AND CRAZY GUYS
[SINGLES MATCH]
Darius
VS Xavier Reid
VS Xavier Reid
Aiello: Alright folks, this next match will truly be ... Interesting!
Bennett: Interesting?! Kentucky's stupid "one X-Division match per night" rule is robbing us!
Carter: I have to agree, up next we will see Darius face Xavier Reid one on one in a singles match. Both of these men have a taste for X-Division championship gold but unfortunately will not be facing each other with X-Division rules. Can they keep their extreme ways in check or will this be a short match?
Aiello: We're about to find out!
"Let's burn it fucking down!"
As the opening rift plays, Darius sprints out onto the stage and stops at the ramp. The crowds throws boos in his direction as he slowly raises his hands into the air, rocking the devil horns as soon as his arms are fully extended upwards.
Stroup: The following match is a singles match! Joining us first, from Albany, New York, weighing in at 245 pounds ... DARIUS!
He then runs down the ramp, slides under the bottom rope, and jumps up in the center of the ring, looking at the crowd with a wide smirk as they continue to boo. He throws his hands up into devil horns once more, then approaches his corner to wait for the match to begin.
As the opening rift plays, Darius sprints out onto the stage and stops at the ramp. The crowds throws boos in his direction as he slowly raises his hands into the air, rocking the devil horns as soon as his arms are fully extended upwards.
Stroup: And his, 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…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 reaches ringside. 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.
DING DING DING
Darius and Reid stand in their corners as they stare each other down, both with a look of hunger in their eyes. Darius is the firs to move as he slowly walks along the ropes with a slow pace, his eyes still locked with Reid's. Reid follows suit as he too begins to pace along the ropes, moving in the opposite direction. The crowd breaks out into a "FUCK'EM UP, XAVIER. FUCK'EM UP!" chant, which sets off Darius. He lunges forward ate Reid, but Reid sidesteps Darius and slaps him on the back of the head!
Darius turns to face Reid, nearly foaming at the mouth, but is greeted by multiple kicks, starting at the legs, leading up to the torso, and then finished off by a pele kick! Darius stumbles back into the corner dazed, but Reid gives him no time to recover as he rushes forward at Darius, leaping into the air, and planting a stiff dropkick into the center of Darius' chest, knocking the big man over the top rope and down to the arena floor!
Reid moves to the center of the ring, amping the crowd up as Darius pulls himself to his feet on the outside with the barricade. Reid bounces in place, then runs at the rope, flips into a cartwheel-back hand round-off, then springboards over the top rope, connecting with Darius on the outside with an X-Treme Air corkscrew dive!
Aiello: Reid has taken the early lead and taken this match to the outside!
Bennett: Screw the rules, let's get extreme!
Carter: Come on now, you know if they do that, they risk being disqualified!
Reid is back to his feet, picking Darius up with him, only to then toss Darius into the timekeeper's area! The referee has been counting for the count out in the ring as this has been happening, so Reid slides into the ring, then back out to restart the count. He then pulls the top step from the ring steps, lines it up in front of the time keeper's area, moves to the opposite end of the ring, and then springs forward, using the steps to boost himself into the air, pulling off another corkscrew towards Darius ...
But a loud crash is heard as Reid makes it over the barricade! The camera looks over the barricade and sees Reid on the ground with a steel chair broken underneath him, Darius off to the side with a wide grin on his face. Darius picks Reid up to his feet, kicks him in the gut, then sets him up for a power bomb, spinning Reid around in the air for a moment before slamming him down onto the busted chair with the tiger bomb he calls The Morrow Bomb!
Darius hears the referee's count getting closer to ten, so he rushes to the ring, enters it, then exits it, once again restarting the count. Darius makes his way back to Reid, picking him up to his feet, then tossing him towards the ring, making Reid collide with the apron. Darius rushes at Reid with a big boot, but Reid just barely moves out of the way, getting Darius' boot caught up in the bottom rope!
Aiello: Things are getting hairy out here!
Bennett: Hey, no rules have been broken yet!
Carter: These two are tearing each other apart out here but no one is going to win on the outside!
Reid leaps onto the apron, grabs onto the ropes, and starts to stomp down onto Darius' leg as it is hung up in the rope! Darius manages to shake the leg loose, but then Reid leaps from the apron and attempts to bring Darius down with the X-Steiner, but Darius manages to hold his ground, keeping Reid on his shoulders for a moment, but then throws himself and Reid back, slamming both men onto the announcer's table with an electric chair drop! The table somehow stays together, thus making the impact much worse for both men!
Reid lays motionless on the table while Darius rolls around on the floor holding the small of his back and screaming expletives towards Reid. Darius slowly gets back to his feet, his eyes fixated on Reid as he begins to sit up. Darius grabs a chair from the side and slowly starts to raise it above his head, but the referee is quick to stop him, grabbing the chair from Darius and warning him about the disqualification. Darius shrugs the referee off and leaps onto Reid, wrapping his hands around Reid's throat and starts to choke him! The referee tries pulling Darius off but is unable, so he starts the five count!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
F- Darius throws his hands in the air as the referee screams at him to cut it out, then checks on Reid. Darius rolls into the ring and then stands in the center, posing for the crowd as they boo at him loudly.
Aiello: I don't think Darius cares about rules anymore.
Bennett: Good! Let's make things interesting!
Carter: It won't be if the match ends per-maturely!
Reid is back up on the outside, a look of rage in his eyes. The referee gets back into the ring and Reid follows behind him, but with a chair in hand! The referee attempts to pull the chair away, but Reid is hesitant to drop it. Darius takes the opportunity to run at Reid, but then Reid drops the chair, spins around the referee, and connects with a spinning roundhouse kick to the side of the head!
While Darius drops to the mat and the referee removes the chair from the ring, Reid quickly exposes the top turnbuckle by loosening the padding from it, but keeps the pad hanging there so it is not entirely noticeable at first. Reid then grabs Darius, picks him up to his feet, and drags him to the turnbuckle. Reid starts to slam Darius' head into the pad, eventually knocking it off and exposing Darius' to cold steel over and over again. The referee starts the five count for disqualification as Reid ignores him while continuing the attack;
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Reid releases Darius and backs away from him as the referee checks on Darius, but then notices the exposed turnbuckle. The referee confronts Reid, but Reid denies knowing what happened and suggests it fell off during the assault, which is why he stopped!
Aiello: Reid got caught cheating but talked his way out of it!
Bennett: That is so scummy, I love it!
Carter: How much more can the referee take before disqualifying someone!?
Darius slumps to the mat in the corner, holding his head as he tries to come to, but Reid gives him little time to recover. Reid rushes forward and drives his boot into Darius' face with a facewash and continues the assault with multiple boots to the face! Reid backs away as the referee warns him once again, but then Reid charges once more and slams his boot into Darius' face, this time making the back of Darius' head hit the ring post!
Darius' eyes begin to glaze over as Reid pulls him by the arms away from the turnbuckle, then Reid covers Darius in the center of the ring!
One!
Two!
Kickout! Darius just barely gets the shoulder up as Reid looks down with disbelief. Darius slowly sits up, a bloody smile etched across his face. Reid jumps to his feet, grabs Darius by the arms, and starts to reign the Fuck You Stomp onto Darius' head over and over again, Darius at first laughing through the pain, then slowly grows quiet, then nearly lifeless as he goes limp in Reid's arms! The referee pulls Reid off then checks on Darius, who isn't responding. The referee gets back to his feet and calls for the bell due to Darius' inability to continue with the match!
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winner, via KO, XAVIER REID!
Reid tosses his arms into the air and forms an X with them as he looks down at Darius, a slight smirk across his face as Darius slowly comes to.
Aiello: For the second week in a row, Reid has knocked his opponent out with those devastating stomps!
Bennett: Darius seemed to enjoy it at first ... The guy must be a masochist or something, the crazy sumbitch!
Carter: Well either way, he couldn't continue the match, so Reid is declared the winner!
We move to a commercial break.
The image opens on the backstage area, more directly, outside of the S-Factor's dressing room. There is a slight commotion going on inside as the camera pushes inside to find the 'Angel' Gabrielle Visconty, with the International title wrapped around her waist, the 'People's Camp' Scorpio and Crème de la Crème sitting around a table sipping champagne.
Gabi: I really appreciate you taking the time to give me a few fashion pointers, Scorpio.
Scorpio: Well if I’m being totally honest darling, I’m always keen to do my bit for charity, and frankly this qualifies ten-fold. I mean… a cap and a football jersey… seriously?
Gabi smirks raises a single eyebrow, sipping at her champagne, while The S-Factor eyes her up and down. He sighs before getting to his feet and pulling over a dress rail covered in gowns, tops, skirts, and accessories, all of them apparently female. He runs a hand through a few of them before turning back to Visconty.
Scorpio: These are some of Crème’s old things, but I think they’d be a good starting point, let’s work out what works for you…
Scorpio goes to working his magic, and in a few short minutes he smiles to himself as he turns around with a few selections. Gabi looks a little apprehensive at first but gives in. We begin a montage of different looks, as Gabi Vee emerges from behind a curtain. The first time she is wearing a glittering gown and tiara, and looks a little uncertain of it all...
Scorpio: Oh darling, no. You look like Melody Malone, we can't be having that...
Gabi nods her head and disappears behind the curtain; we smash-cut again to her emerging this time dressed in a deep purple catsuit (one of Crème's best looks!) and killer heels. If we're honest Gabi looks a little unsteady on the heels, and has to hold the wall for support.
Scorpio: Hmmm... I think this could work?
Gabi: ... I'd quite like to have my ankles intact for when I take on Cyrus...
Scorpio: It's a reasonable request I suppose - NEXT!
We smash cut again as Gabi wobbles her way back behind the curtain. Finally she emerges in a black Saint Laurent skirt and a white Vanessa Bruno top. She looks to Scorpio and Crème for approval, and they both seem pleased with her transformation. The trio smile to one another as Gabi twirls around in her new look, before stopping to place a hand on her hip.
Gabi: Well, I’m planning on being dressed to impress in Texas, so thank you. I think this particular number will look… how do you say it… fabulous alongside the International Championship! Now, apparently we’ve got a match to get ready for, see you out there Scorps!
She smiles widely and Scorpio nods his head, before the two air kiss beside each of their cheeks. Gabi winks and blows a kiss to Crème, who reciprocates, before she heads off with a skip in her step and the stolen International Championship belt around her waist. The camera focuses on Scorpio as he watches her go, and Crème stands by his side. The S-Factor’s fixed grin falls, and the hand clenching the glass of champagne tightens as he lips purse.
Scorpio: … it doesn’t matter what you wear, sweetheart, I’ll still be throwing you over the top rope in Fort Worth. Nobody is getting in the way of my victory… least of all some pink-haired fucking princess.
He sneers as the scene fades, the Brawl crowd beginning to murmur their dislike of his words, and some even beginning to boo slightly…
INTERBRAND INTERGENDER INSANITY: BY SPECIAL REQUEST!
[SINGLES MATCH]
Melody Malone
VS Kendrick Kross
VS Kendrick Kross
Aiello: Monday Night Brawl keeps on moving along folks! We've already seen some crazy action and we still have an X-Division title match to come in our main event!
Bennett: That's right, but we have a special treat for you tonight! EWC royalty, the Queen of FS-
Carter: You mean Friday Night Rampage superstar and Queen of ALL of EWC, Melody Malone.
Bennett: Yea, what he said.. .Anyway, this match started as FSW versus Brawl but now has become Rampage versus Brawl as K2, Kendrick Kross is set to take on newly acquired Rampage star Melody Malone!
Aiello: This one should be a fantastic intergender bout! Let's go to the ring and ring announcer Jessica Stroup!
The camera cuts to the ring where Jessica Stroup is standing by.
Stroup: The following contest is schedule fro one fall and is a BRAWL versus RAMPAGE intergender showcase!
The crowd cheers.
Stroup: Introducing first, from San Diego, California.. representing Friday Night Rampage!.... The Siren of Scorn and QUEEN of EWC.... MELODY.... MAAAAAALLLLLOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!
The lights dim, but don’t go dark before the soft words of Billie Eilish’s “You should see me in a crown” begin to play over the P.A. system. Melody and her manager Vanessa come out from backstage, head held high as they come down the entrance ramp and Melody prepares for her match as Vanessa watches on ringside.
Aiello: Melody has been on a very hot streak recently since she came up short at the FSW UPRISING event back in July. She is more focused than ever and in four days her and fellow America's Most Hated stablemate Iggy Swango will take on the EWC Tag Team Champions at Rumble in Texas with the titles on the line!
three 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. A smirk crosses his face before he begins to walk down.
Stroup: And her opponent... From Chelsea, London, United Kingdom...Representing Monday Night Brawl! K2.... KKKKKKKKKENDRICK!.... KKKKKKKKKKRRRRRROOOOOSSSSSS!!!
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.
Bennett: Kross is looking for any momentum he can get here heading into Rumble in Texas. A win over the Siren of Scorn could really do a lot for him right now.
Carter: YAWN! I'm ready to see Queen Malone do her thing here tonight.
Aiello: Whatever the outcome, I have a feeling we are about to see a FIGHT between these two!
The referee checks both combatants before signaling for the bell.
DING DING DING
Kross stares down Melody as the Queen slowly circles her opponent. Malone waits for the right angle and then sweeps in to attack Kross, who stops Malone in her tracks with a boot the midsection. Melody doubles over, allowing K2 to take the early advantage. He rains down with forearms and punches, sending Malone the ground. Kendrick quickly rolls her over and goes for a pin but only gets a one count!
Aiello: Kendrick Kross comes out strong tonight! He got a quick one count there.
Carter: HOW DARE HE DISRESPECT THE QUEEN!
Bennett: More like staking his claim on the Monarchy!
Malone gets to a knee quickly as she whips the hair out of her face. An evil grin spreads across her lips as she gets back to her feet and Kross comes in quick with a tie up. They go back and forth jockeying for power before Malone gets sent to the ropes. Melody takes her momentum though, jumps to the middle rope and then off and back, spinning around and catching K2 off guard with a meteora! The Siren of Scorn follows up with forearms to the face of Kross!
Carter: GET HIM!
Aiello: Melody Malone showing that her time in Future Stars has made her ready for the brighter lights of the EWC main roster!
Kendrick gets enough power to throw Malone off of him so he can gather himself, but before he even gets a chance Melody comes rushing in, looking for a step up Enziguiri, but K2 blocks it and nails Malone mid air with a European uppercut! The crowd is getting behind this match now as Kendrick doesn't go for the cover, but instead looks to pick Malone up for a fisherman buster. he hooks the leg and lifts Melody up, stalling for a second before converting it into a back break over his shoulders. He jumps a few times to do damage to his opponent before turning her over into the move he calls Rack of Ribs (rack bomb)., Kendrick covers...
ONE......
TWO....
TH-KICKOUT!
Aiello: Kendrick Kross almost had this match won, but Melody Malone is not going down that easy!
Carter: The Queen will win this match when she feels its appropriate!
Malone back to her feet just as Kendrick goes for a standing dropkick, but Melody is able to sidestep. She waits for Kross to get to his feet then leaps at him, clenching him in the headscissors before pinning around and landing Kross on his neck! He instantly grabs his neck as he writhes around in pain to the corner of the ring. Melody spots this then quickly gets to the apron through the ropes before running to the ring post and climbing to the top rope. He stretches out her hands and waits for Kendrick Kross to get to his feet as the crown begins to buzz.
Aiello: Are we going to see the Queen declare "off with their head!"?!
Melody times it perfectly and lands her finishing move, Off with their head (The Eclipse)! She takes a moment to collect her self before she scurries over to a laid out Kross for the cover...
ONE....
TWO.....
THREE!!!!!
DING DING DING
Stroup: The winner of this match via pinfall.... MELODY MALLLLLLOOOOOOOOONEEEE!!!!!!
As Kendrick exits, Melody leans over the top rope calling for a microphone from ringside.
Aiello: Looks like the self-proclaimed Queen of EWC isn’t done just yet!
Bennett: Well hell she’s probably still fired up!
Melody Malone: Congratulations Kendrick. You played your role perfectly for me. Are these enough dues for you? Huh? I worked my ASS OFF on Daly City for over a YEAR, to get where I am tonight and you want to balk at me not paying my dues? People like you are the very reason I stayed on FSW as long as I did, but eventually I snapped out of it. You know why? Because NOTHING accomplished on FSW would ever mean ANYTHING to you guys. Brawl - Rampage - you all always looked down on us. We were never ‘your’ caliber. It’s why you cried foul about me finally leaving the safety of my kingdom in California because you KNEW the minute I stepped foot in your territory, you wouldn’t be able to deny my rightful place at the top of not just Future Stars… but the ENTIRETY of EWC.
The crowd begins to boo, not exactly thrilled with her sudden claims to stardom.
Carter: Yeah, she’s definitely still fired up…
Melody Malone: I have beaten everyone they’ve put in my way for the last month. I have done everything I’ve said I would… but there’s still the naysayers backstage. There’s still too many people who doubt me and question what kind of Queen was worth even having on FSW. So, allow me to oblige them… and prove exactly what kind of nobodies I’ll truly Queen be of when I walk out of Amon G Stadium with a guaranteed shot at the Und-
Before she can finish her statement ‘Iconic’ by Madonna begins and the crowd is on their feet, erupting into cheers.
Aiello: IT’S THE S-FACTOR!
Bennett: It’s about to go down Joe!
Melody throws the microphone away, gesturing at the entrance ramp as Georgie Nickles walks out on stage with her tag team title around her waist, swinging Vidal by the cord with a smirk. The ringside mics can’t pick up whatever it is Melody is yelling up to Georgie, but the crowd perks up and roars as Scorpio makes his way through the crowd and over the barricade! He slides into the ring behind Melody, as Georgie walks down the ramp and simply waves goodbye to Melody. Malone turns, now suspecting the worst and is immediately met by Scorpio’s AGR!
Carter: Scorpio hits the AGR - and here comes Georgie for a little payback!
Aiello: Turnabout is fair play!
Nickles slides into the ring, tossing the hairdryer to Scorpio. As he wraps the cord around his hand, he reaches down and begins to choke out the ‘Queen’ with Vidal! Malone claws at the cord around her neck, kicking violently as Scorpio digs his knee into her back and wrenches back harder.
Bennett: Here comes the calvary!
The crowd’s cheers turn sour as Iggy Swango comes flying down the ramp from backstage steel chair in hand. Scorpio relents and lets go of the choke, yanking the hairdryer back as both he and Georgie make their exit from the ring. Iggy takes a wild swing with the chair, but both Scorpio and Georgie are well out of range, retreating through the crowd. They hold their tag team championships high over their heads as Vanessa and Iggy tend to a visibly furious Melody Malone in the ring.
Aiello: Tensions are getting high in the tag team division! Stick around folks, we’ll be back with more of the S-Factor as Scorpio takes on Gabi Vee… NEXT!
The camera cuts to the car park area where we see Cyrus heading towards his car with his T-shirt off, still with some glitter and confetti in his hair. Bob Murray hurries to catch up with him.
Murray: Cyrus.. sorry Cyrus can we get a moment of your time? What are you thoughts heading into the rumble in Texas next week? Will you be there, are you still injured, do you plan on snatching back your International Championship from Gabrielle Visconty and what is going on between you and Mel...
Cyrus cuts Bob off before he finishes his questions.
Cyrus: Wow easy cowboy, one question at a time. I am not injured but I’m not medically cleared to compete yet, and YES I will be at the rumble next week, I’m looking forward to seeing who’s coming after my undisputed championship next. As for the International title and the pink haired gremlin who’s holding it right now, she’s gave me the run around tonight and now I’m done chasing her. I have a feeling that sooner or later Gabi Vee will come to me.
Cyrus turns to leave when Bob stops him for one more question.
Murray: Cyrus sorry but I have to ask, the whole world wants to know, given your personal relationship with Melody Malone, what happens if she wins the rumble and challenges you for the Undisputed title?
Cyrus pauses for a brief moment, thinking carefully before he answers the question.
Cyrus: If Melody wins the rumble... which she’s more than capable of doing... then we’ll have a match for the ages. She’s one of the best around, and she’s proven that time and time again. As for my personal relationship with Mel... why don’t you go ask Dominic Sanders, he seems to have all the answers.
Cyrus winks at the camera and pats Bob on the back before walking off towards his car.
INTERBRAND INTERGENDER INSANITY: THE BITCHENING
[SINGLES MATCH - NON-TITLE]
Gabrielle Visconty
VS Scorpio
VS Scorpio
Aiello: It’s been an interesting night so far, and now we get to see one half of the EWC tag team champions ReBelle in action, Scorpio goes one on one against... the self proclaimed International title holder Gabrielle Visconty.
Bennett: It’s not self proclaimed! She has the championship in her possession Joe! And Gabi Vee has had our Undisputed Champion running around like a headless chicken all night and I love it.
Carter: I bet you do. For me, I am just interested to see Scorpio in action tonight. Ever since Night of Champions he seems to have grown obsessed with the Undisputed Championship, and I think we now have a more aggressive and perhaps unstable Scorpio on our hands.
Stroup: The following match is scheduled for one fall, Joining us first from Indianapolis, Indiana, weighing in at 118 pounds ... GABRIELLE VISCONTY!!
B.O.B.” by OutKast bangs on the sound system heavily as Gabrielle Visconty darts out from the back, stopping at the top of the ramp with the International Championship around her waist, she makes her way down to the ring.
Stroup: And her opponent, from from London, England, weighing in at 205 lbs... he is one half of the EWC Tag team champions... 'The S-Factor'... 'The People's Camp'...SCORPIO!!
'Iconic' - Madonna feat. Chance The Rapper hits the speakers as the house lights go down, switching to a spotlight focused on the curtain, revealing The S-Factor' Scorpio stood behind, a hand on his hip as he makes his way out to the ring.
DING DING DING
Gabi extends a hand out to Scorpio as the bell rings but Scorpio surprises her by kicking her in the gut, throwing her off of the ropes and back body dropping her high in the air. Gabi’s body crunches onto the mat back first and Scorpio is right on top of her, hammering into her head with his fists. Gabi holds her arms up to try and protect her head but Scorpios shots just get more viscous and stiff. Scorpio pulls Gabi to her feet and hits a Snap suplex into standing moonsault.
Scorpio gets to his feet and kicks Gabi in the head a few times, and she is clearly stunned by this onslaught from the S-Factor. Scorpio takes a run towards the ropes, looking to hit his springboard moonsault move he calls Lipsync For Your Life but Gabi gets her knees up as Scorpio falls onto her. As the knees hit Scorpios gut, winding him, Gabi rolls him up for a quick pin. The ref makes the count, Scorpio just kicking out at two and half.
Aiello: Ohhh Gabi Vee nearly stole one there!
Bennett: She did that. Scorpio has been all over her from the minute the bell went, but he nearly got caught off guard there.
Carter: I have to mention this again, this is a different Scorpio we are seeing these days. The guy is ruthless.
Scorpio isn’t happy that Gabi nearly sneaked a victory, and it shows as he catches her with an elbow to the jaw and then once on his feet he unleashes a fury of kicks to her body and head. Gabi rolls to the ropes, grabbing onto them but Scorpio just keeps kicking away at her. The ref has to pull Scorpio away from Gabi, and this gives her the opening she’s been looking for as Scorpio argues with the ref she lunges forward, grabbing Scorpio and hitting a belly to back suplex.
With Scorpio on the mat, Gabi hits a No Hands Cartwheel Splash on him. Gabi makes a pin but Scorpio kicks out. Gabi hoists Scorpio to his feet and whips him into the corner then follows up with a handspring back elbow smash to his face. The crowd are firmly behind Gabi she climbs the turnbuckle, and she pauses for a moment, flashing a smile out towards the crowd before sticking her tongue out, but she stalls for to long and Scorpio pulls himself up to his feet and with Gabi’s back turned he shoves her off of the top rope, she somersaults and smashes straight into the barricade on the outside. Scorpio leans against the ropes with a sick smile on his face as Gabi seems to hurt from that fall.
Aiello: Oh ouch, that was a nasty bump Gabrielle just took.
Bennett: Scorpio seemed to enjoy it.
Carter: Well the S-Factor knows he’s in control now.
Scorpio slides out of the ring as Gabi lays in a crumpled heap on the outside, picking her up, he whips Gabi back first into the steel steps. Scorpio then rolls Gabi into the ring, and he slowly follows her, edging towards the opposite corner. Scorpio stalks Gabi as she tries to recover, stumbling to her feet while holding her head. Scorpio seizes his moment as he pounces forward and hits a superkick on Gabi and then quickly making the pin. The ref stops at the two and half count as Gabi somehow gets her foot on the bottom rope. Scorpio looks frustrated as he gets to his feet and stares down Gabi.
Scorpio picks Gabi up and as she stumbles he runs off of the ropes and back towards her, he goes for his lariat finisher Glitterazi, but Gabi suddenly does the splits as he throws his arms toward her, she drops to the floor. As Scorpio turns around Gabi kips up to her feet and jumps onto the ropes and springboards off of them towards Scorpio but he’s ready as he leaps into the air and hits the AGR on Gabi! Scorpio throws an arms over Gabi as the ref makes the pin for the win.
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winner, via pinfall SCORPIO!!
Scorpio rolls out of the ring and celebrates with Creme as Gabi leans against the ropes looking frustrated .
Aiello: Scorpio just made a huge statement here tonight! Maybe he’s a dark horse for the rumble, you never know.
Bennett: Gabrielle will be kicking herself, she knows she’s better than this.
Carter: No doubts, Scorpio and Gabi are both favorites to walk out of the rumble as the winner. I can’t wait to see what they both bring to the table.
Aiello: Tonight however is Scorpio’s night. And now after the break we’ve got a huge main event in store as in the X-Division title is on the line in a triple threat match.
We move to a commercial break.
3 THE HARD WAY - FOR THE EWC X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
[TRIPLE THREAT - X-DIVISION RULES]
Jamaal "Hush" Jackson
VS Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
VS Stephanie "Cloud" Matsuda (C)
[TRIPLE THREAT - X-DIVISION RULES]
Jamaal "Hush" Jackson
VS Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
VS Stephanie "Cloud" Matsuda (C)
Aiello: Welcome back, ladies and gentleman. This next match we have on tap for you is going to be a great one, even more so since it’s for the X-Division Championship.
Carter: Couldn’t agree more, Joe.
From behind the speakers comes the chorus of Everything to Gain by Pappoose and the crowd scream in unison for the man without a voice. Onto the stage comes Hush, his demeanor as indifferent as usual. He stares into the top corners of the arena, takes the moment to appreciate it whilst nodding his head, a gesture of approval.
He descends down the ramp in a casual stride and taps the hands of a few outstretched arms.
Stroup: The next match is scheduled for one fall and is for the X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIPPPP! Introducing first, fighting out of Baltimore, Maryland. Weighing in at 192 pounds….HUUUSSHHHHH!
The camera draws close to him as he reaches the ring area, and in one quick move, he reveals a yellow sticky note in his left hand and pastes it over the camera; it blocks the rest of the arena and reads.
Shut up and Wrestle
He slides into the ring, finds his corner and readies for battle.
Stroup: Introducing first from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, weighing in at one hundred and forty-five pounds, she is one of the members of the Shieldmaidens MC. She is Samantha "The Titaness" Hamilton!
As the actual lyrics of 'You're Going Down' by Sick Puppies begins playing, the Titaness saunters down the ramp. Walking beside her is her husband, 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 will usually slip through the middle and top ropes. From time to time, however, she will opt to simply step over the top ropes.
Stroup: Making her way to the ring! Being accompanied by Monica Vaughan! From Brooklyn, NY! Weighing in at 132lbs, The War Queen” Stephanie Matsuda!
“Rainy Days” by Boogie plays as Stephanie "Cloud" Matsuda walks out dressed in her signature black fitted cap and a bandanna around her face. She has the EWC X-Division Championship around her waist. 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, pulls down her bandanna, and holds up her title as she stares into the crowd. She then jumps down and gives her ref her belt as she prepares for her match.
Aiello: This match is going to be one for the ages, let’s get this thing going!
Carter: Shutup, Joe.
DING DING DING
The bell rings and the three of the competitors stay where they’re at, each one trying to gauge the other two. Samantha and Hush look at one another and then look at Stephanie as they both run at her and each one takes turns sending shots to the head of her. Stephanie tries to fight back but she can’t as the two of them are way too much for her at this moment. The Titaness backs off and catches Hush off guard with an elbow to the back of the head. Hush stumbles forward and Samantha brings him back towards the center of the ring and turns him around before sending a boot to the gut of Hush and hits a DDT! Samantha quickly goes for the cover.

Before Ref Paul Turner can bring his hand down for two Stephanie recovered just enough to be able to break the pin up. Stephanie picks The Titaness up and Hush slowly rolls to the edge of the apron as the two women begin to exchange shots with one another. Neither one able to get the upper hand until Samantha sends a kick to the side of the Champion causing her to grab it. Samantha sends a couple more before grabbing her and whipping her and attempting to whip her across the ring but the Champ reverses it and she sends her across the ring. Samantha bounces off the ropes and returns going for a clothesline but the Champ ducks it! By this time Hush had recovered enough to be aware and as Samantha goes towards the other ropes Hush grabs the top rope and Samantha goes over the top hitting the floor hard with a big THUD! Samantha immediately grabs her right shoulder as it took the full brunt of the fall.
Carter: Some nice exchanges, but Hush making sure Samantha is out of it for now!
Bennett: Oh she needs to suck it up, she isn’t hurt! Get up!
Hush gets up to his feet and looks at the Champion who is now standing in the middle, he steps through the ropes and they both go for a lockup but Hush instead sends a knee to the gut of Matsuda! This causes her to grab her gut, which he quickly hits a DDT after! Hush quickly rolls Stephanie over and hooks the leg for a pin!

KICKOUT!
Stephanie just is able to get her shoulder up and Hush looks at Paul Turner and shakes his head. He makes sure he stays on the attack though, Hush bends down and lifts Stephanie up to her feet and throws her into the corner, meanwhile Samantha had recovered and being ignored by the two, she had pulled out a slew of weapons looking to see which one she wanted. Samantha decided to grab a chair and slide into the ring Hush had hit Stephanie with a couple punches to the head after he sent her into the ring and went to whip her across the ring. She was immediately met with a SMACK! from the chair shot she just received after being whipped. Samantha slammed the chair on the mat a bit almost taunting Hush, he came running at her and she hit him with a chair shot! A smile crossed her face and she slams the chair twice against the back of both Hush and Stephanie. Samantha throws the chair to the side and rolls Hush over to go for a pin.

KICKOUT!
Aiello: Some vicious chair shots! How Hush got out of that I don’t know.
Bennett: It’s easy, Joe. He’s just a tough son o’ bitch. Pay attention.
Carter: These three are giving all they got!
Sam grabs her right shoulder after Hush kicked out, obviously still feeling the effects from earlier in the match but she powers through the pain. Sam slid out of the ring and grabbed a couple Kendo sticks that she had picked out earlier and threw them in the ring along with some barbed wire and a baseball bat. A grin comes across her face as she slides in, knowing this is what the X-Division is about she was ready to do anything necessary. She grabs the bat and waits for one of them to get up, Stephanie is first to her feet and Sam swings the baseball bat and connects with it to the gut of Stephanie followed by the back. Sam though not paying attention to Hush, she didn’t know he had recovered enough to pick up a Kendo stick though he was still wobbly a bit. Sam turned around and went after Hush but he swung the Kendo stick and hit her in the gut with a big WHACK! she fell to all fours after the huge hit which allowed Hush to swing the Kendo stick multiple times connecting with The Titaness’ back. Each blow caused her to let out a groan. Stephanie had gotten up by now and instead of doing anything she decided to recover a bit and just watched Hush slam the Kendo stick up against the back of The Titaness. Not only until he stopped and turned around to see where she was at did he notice her up. Stephanie hit him with an asian mist before going for and hitting her Yahtzee! Superkick!
After the kick Stephanie went for the pin though it took a few extra seconds as Hush, instinctively rolled over. She hooked the leg and Paul Turner dropped down to count.

KICKOUT!
All of Stephanies pressure wasn’t on Hush’s body so he was able to get his right shoulder up fairly easy. Stephanie slammed the mat knowing she could have had him there. Hush rolled back over to his stomach and rubbed his eyes trying to get the mist out of them. Samantha had just gotten up to a knee Stephanie not wanting to let up on either of them ran at Samantha but Sam has the ring presence to roll out of the way causing Stephanie to run chest first into the turnbuckle. Sam gets up and grabs Stephanie who had stumbled backwards to turn her around. She looks at her and goes in for a kiss but instead sends a knee to the gut of Stephanie and hits The Wrath of the Titans! (Pedigree.) Samantha rolled her towards her and away from the ropes, though she knew there was no break, and went for the cover!

Before the hand can come down for three Hush appears out of nowhere with the bat and slams it onto the Titaness’ back! Hush knew he wouldn’t be able to get the pin on either of them, and deciding he wants to add more pain he climbs out of the ring and pulls the still down Stephanie out of the ring as she hits the ground hard with a thump. Hush walked towards the opposite corner and grabbed the barbed wire roll that was brought into the ring earlier. Hush made his way back to Matsuda and picked her up. He wrapped barbed wire around her head and slammed her head into the steel steps cutting her forehead open! Stephanie immediately started bleeding from where the barbs stuck deep into her head.
Aiello: Got out first blood of the match. Was wondering if it’d happen.
Carter: She’s bleeding quite a lot already from that.
Bennett: It was barbed wire, what were you thinking it’d look like, a shot?
Stephanie now was laying on the floor, the wire still wrapped around her head. Hush didn’t let up though he got on top of her and grabbed both sides of the barbed wire and slid it across her forehead digging it deeper into her head ripping the skin! This though also had an effect on Hush as the barbs stuck into his hands and caused them to bleed as well. Hush had seemingly totally forgot about Samantha though, hurt and hunched over a bit she had crawled out of the ring and walked up behind Hush after he stood up and swung a trash can lid that she had gotten out from the bottom of him and connected with the back of his head! She swung it a couple more times to the same spot knocking him down. Samantha dropped the trash can and picked Hush up. Grabbing him by his arm and pants she walked him towards the ring post and threw him into it, his back smashing hard against it! He groaned a bit afterwards but she wasn’t done. The Titaness picked up the steel steps and waited for him to get up. As he did, she ran at him and sent the corner of the steps into his head this cut him open as well! He had started to bleed, not quite as bad as Matsuda had though. She was finally able to take the wire off but her face and hair was covered in blood at this point.
Sam walked over towards Stephanie and picked her up by her hair and pants and threw her into the ring. She would normally go for the cover but she wanted to make sure she was down for the count. Samantha waited for Stephanie to get up, as she slowly did she went for a spear onto Stephanie but Stephanie side stepped it and Samantha went straight into the post! Stephanie not missing a beat, though clearly tired at this point, slowly pulled her out of the corner and set her down. Stephanie walked back towards the other corner, though if it were earlier in the match this all would have been done much quicker. She ran at Sam and went for a cannonball senton but Sam ducked it! Stephanie, somehow though was able to roll through and she ended up on the top turnbuckle. She hopped down though and waited for Sam to get up when she did Stephanie springboarded and went for the Final Heaven as her forearm slammed into Samanthas head! This took everything Stephanie had though so although she hit it she wasn’t able to make the cover! Samantha realizing this took a breather before rolling out of the ring, hitting the ground with a thud once again though she was expecting it this time.
Aiello: What a match this has been!
Bennett: Oh hush Joe, I’ve seen better, even if they’ve showed they’re tough sons o’ bitches.
Hush had gotten up by this point and he was also slowly walking as they all have gotten tired at this point. He though saw the announcers table and smirked a bit as he ripped it all off. He took one of the monitors and waited for The Titaness to get up, she slowly did and this is when she got met with the corner of the monitor and this caused all three of them to now be bleeding! Hush’s face had become covered with blood at this point just as Stephanie's did. Hush put the hurt Samantha on the table and then looked at the turnbuckle. Hush slowly walked to the ring and got up the turnbuckle. He took a breath and jump hitting a Shooting Star Press onto Sam as they go through the table! Both Hush and Samantha are down neither of them are moving, Matsuda at this point is up to her feet but stumbling, not exactly being able to keep her bearings. Stephanie ignoring the two that aren’t moving saw a chair that was used earlier and the barbed wire which gives her an idea. Stephanie grabs both and slowly wraps the wire around the chair then slides it in. Stephanie walks over after sliding the chair into the ring and grabs Hush who had started to stir with Samantha. She brings Hush to the ring and slides him in. Stephanie slowly slides in after and picks up the chair that has the barbed wire that was used on her earlier. She waits for him to get up and as he does she swings the chair and connects hard to his forehead! This cuts Hush open deeper and sends him to the mat. Not done with him she grates the chair across his face as payback before laying it under him.
Stephanie slowly makes her way over to the turnbuckle where she gingerly climbs up it. Stephanie jumps off of the turnbuckle and hits Cloud 9 (Corkscrew 450) onto Hush and the chair! She stays on Hush and hooks the leg!
