Match #1
BULLET HELL Vs DAMAGE INC Vs S.T.
(20 Minute Time Limit/Falls Count Anywhere Triple Threat Tag Team Bout)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: Our in-ring action starts hot with three rising tag teams squaring up in a triple threat match, and falls count anywhere!
Loydson: Lord help us if this match spills out of the arena.
Chriqui: The following match is a triple threat tag match, and the falls count anywhere! Introducing first, at a combined weight of 350 pounds... KID KITSUNE AND LEO, BULLET HELL!
"Death By Glamour" begins playing and Kid Kitsune walks out first bouncing to the beat, he then signals for LEO, who just walks to the ring. Kid joins him dancing and smirking. Once to the ring LEO holds up a two sweet while Kid begins break dancing.
Duggan: We saw these guys make a big Brawl debut against Vida Nocturna, but now they find themselves stepping up to the likes of Damage Inc and S.T.
Loydson: These rookies are gonna get a harsh lesson in pain by my boys Malice and Mayhem!
Martinez: This is definitely gonna be hard-hitting, but perhaps the quick footwork of Bullet Hell will give them an advantage.
Chrqui: Introducing next, their opponents... at a combined weight of 725 pounds... MAYHEM AND MALICE, DAMAGE INC.!
"Seek and Destroy" by Metallica begins to roar through the arena. The lights flash as Lacey Savage steps out onto the stage. Thick smoke rolls in, and from the smoke come two huge figures dressed in matching leather jackets that reach all the way to their matching boots. The two men are wearing full face masks that look like skulls. Each skull face is partially covered by a bandanna, outlaw style. The two men flank Lacey as they begin to stalk in lock step to the ring. Lacey climbs the steps ahead of her charges and holds the middle rope open for them to step stiffly through. Once inside the ring both monsters simultaneously shed their masks and jackets. Clustering together in the corner they huddle up for a final game plan, each member sizing up their opponents and ready for a war.
Duggan: Coming in from FSW to prove their meddle is Damage Inc, looking to prove they deserve another crack at the Tag Team Championship.
Loydson: After these guys eat both teams for dinner, the higher-ups will have no choice but to give them a shot!
Chrqui: And finally, their opponents... representing the Shieldmaidens, at a combined weight of 225 pounds... PSYCHO SAOSIRE MAGUIRE AND JACKIE BANDIT LAYTON, S.T.!
"Pledge Your Allegiance" by Suicidal Tendencies starts up. 12 seconds in, the "S! T!" chants start. Aoife "Banshee" Maguire takes this as her cue to walk through the curtain with bodyguard/girlfriend, Katrina "Knox" Knox, right behind her. A second later, the team known as S.T., Jackie "Bandit Layton and "Psycho" Saoirse Maguire, walk through the curtain as well. the four women make their way to the ring where banshee steps through the ropes first, the others following her in. She takes the center of the ring with Knox behind her and points to the two corners facing the camera. Bandit takes the left corner, Psycho takes the right and all four raise a fist in the air.
Duggan: And last but not least, S.T. looking to make a statement tonight before heading to Youngblood in the hopes of earning a Tag Team Championship opportunity.
Loydson: I still can't believe Damage Inc. got snubbed from the proceedings. You've got these two, Bullet Hell, and Lunch Time, but not Damage Inc. and why?
Martinez: I'm fairly certain it's a matter of timing, after all the four teams in that match each represent the brands of EWC. I'm sure Damage Inc. will earn another shot in due time.
Loydson: But WHEN!?
DING DING DING
The match starts in chaos as Malice and Mayhem divide and conquer their opponents, each sending both pairs out of the ring with some hard punches. The ref leaves the ring, trying to stay on top of things as Malice sends Kitsune careening into the barricade. Malice charges at the fallen Kid, but LEO manages to cut him off! Meanwhile, Bandit and Psycho are doing their best to ward off Mayhem, living up to his name as he lays into S.T. with some hard kicks. Back to Malice and his fight with Bullet Hell, slamming LEO hard onto the floor before he turns to Kitsune...who surprises the big man with an enziguri!
Duggan: Enziguri out of nowhere, and Malice is down!
Loydson: I don't believe this, I may have to pick up drinking again. Get up, Malice! Don't let me down!
Martinez: Hang on a second, it looks like we've got some commotion headed this way...
Indeed, the action featuring Mayhem and S.T. has managed to find its way at the commentary area as Bandit and Psycho have turned things around on Mayhem, laying into him with some hard offense of their own! Bandit sends Mayhem into the announce table, stepping down as Psycho leaps off her back, nailing Mayhem with Air Psycho right onto the table! It's a miracle the table didn't break, but Mayhem and Psycho both look out of it as we focus our attention back to Bullet Hell, looking to get some momentum at the expense of Malice as they go for a double cutter--but Malice cuts them off, shoving LEO away and setting Kitsune up for a big sit-out powerbomb! With S.T. away they have no chance to stop Malice as he covers Kitsune!
1!
2!!
3!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall in 12 minutes... DAMAGE INC.!
Duggan: What a big win for Malice and Mayhem!
Loydson: See!? I told you these guys were good. Hopefully the GMs are paying attention to this, and will give my boys the treatment they deserve.
Martinez: And I hope that S.T. and Bullet Hell prepare themselves accordingly so this doesn't happen to them at Youngblood.
Duggan: Well folks, up next we have another big triple threat match as the returning Magdalena Lockheart faces Maeve and The Animal, Samuel McPherson. Don't go away!
Match #2
LOCKHEART Vs MAEVE Vs THE ANIMAL
(20 Minute Triple Threat Bout)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: And now our second match of the night, featuring the return of Maggie Lockheart!
Loydson: I thought this bitch was gone for good, great to see her back.
Martinez: Phil, are you going to be like this all night?
Duggan: Absolutely, you know this Omar.
Chriqui: The following triple threat match is scheduled for one fall with a 20 minute time limit... Introducing first, from Inkwood, New York, weighing in at 111 pounds... MAGDALENA LOCKHEART!
The deep heartbeat bass of Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” drops over the arena’s public announce speakers as the artist Magdalena Lockheart emerges from behind the curtain. Magdalena steps out into the center of an emerald spotlight wearing a long black dress. For a moment she stands at the top of the stage and applies a dark cherry lipstick to her lips with the aid of a pocket mirror. The ramp in front of her lights up like a model’s runway. Lockheart struts down the ramp as if she’s modeling the dress, pausing briefly at the bottom to pose while flashbulbs go off all around her.
Lockheart walks around the ring towards the camera side, moving all of the way to the southeast ringpost before pulling herself up onto the ring apron. She centers herself on the apron and stands facing the crowd.
But I got smarter, I got harder, In the knick of time.
And me I rose up from the dead I do it all the time.
I got a list of names, yours is in red underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice- Ooh!
Lockheart grabs her dress with both hands and on beat with the song, she rips the dress down the center! Another green spotlight shines straight down on her as glittering, sparkling confetti rains down from the ceiling onto the crowd. Flashes go off from all of the hungry cell phone cameras in attendance as Lockheart sheds the rest of her dress and reveals her slim waistline beneath. Lockheart pauses for a few moments to allow the crowd to snap more photographs before entering the ring.
Duggan: It has been almost a year since we last saw Maggie and she is looking as good as ever.
Loydson: It’s great to see her Griz, I think she put on a little bit of weight just for me. Yea-Buddy.
Martinez: Jesus Christ.
Duggan: I don't know about that, but I know Maggie is looking to win her first match back. .
Chriqui: Her opponent, from Quebec City, Quebec, weighing in at 110 pounds... MAEVE
Believer by Imagine Dragons plays as Maeve makes her way out to a cloud of blue smoke. She comes into full view with a big smile on her face. Wearing her normal black leather pants and pink top with her trademarked pink hair she makes her way down the ramp towards the ring. She sees a few fans and slaps their hands giving a big smile to each person.
Maeve continues her way down the ramp and she slides into it under the bottom rope and pops up. She walks over towards the corner and throws herself up onto the corner.
Duggan: Maggie may be looking to win, but she’s not the only one. Maeve would like nothing more than or leave FN’R with that winners check.
Loydson: Griz, so far in this match our eyes are the winners kid!
Martinez: We’ve got a good match ahead forsure.
Duggan: Uh, that’s not what he meant..
Chriqui: And their opponent from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 280 pounds, “THE ANIMAL” SAMUEL MCPHERSON!
Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace plays over the sound system as a large man walks out from the curtain and stands on top of the ramp, looking around with Henry standing behind him before he walks very slowly to ringside as he steps on the apron and goes over the top rope with his feet and goes to a corner to rest himself up on, looking at his opponent with intensity before the match starts.
DING DING DING
Samuel wastes no time as he rushes Maggie with a spear! Meave starts to drag him up but the much bigger man shoves her aside with ease as he hoist’s Maggie up! But Maggie fires back with a strong MMA knee strike to his groin! No DQ playa! Maeve and Maggie square off, with Maggie making the first move as she leaps into a forearm that knocks Maeve to her ass. Maggie pulls Maeve up into a knee to her midsection and makes Maeve stumble backwards. Maeve hits the ropes and without thinking leaps off of them into a #POV Double Knee Facebreaker! Maeve rolls to the outside for some air, crashing to the ground.
Duggan: Maggie took the early advantage but now this one is even!
Loydson: I wish she’d knee me in the nuts!
Martinez: That is the weirdest thing you have ever said.
Maggie slowly gets to her feet after a few moments and she is met by a big boot from Samuel! Samuel pulls her up by her hair before wrapping her catchers mitt of a hand around her throat and ripping her up in a chokeslam. Samuel goes for the cover, but Maggie kicks out. Samuel gets to his feet, pulling Sam up with him by her throat. Meave climbs up onto the apron but Samuel biels Maggie at her! Maeve crashes to the ground while Maggie hits the ropes hard before stumbling backwards. Samuel raps her arms and spins her around onto his back as he leaps and drops her headfirst into the canvas! The Animal Kill! Samuel makes the cover. One… Two… THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, in 10 minutes… SAMUEL MCPHERSON!
Duggan: Maggie angered the animal and he let out all of his rage.
Loydson: Yaaaarp
Martinez: I have a feeling we will be seeing Samuel Vs Maggie again real soon..
Duggan: Well don't go away folks, we'll be right back.
Our scene goes backstage and we open on ‘The Rebel Child’ Georgie Nickles sat in a locker room. The fans give a cheer as they see her, however she doesn’t respond, instead she’s focused and staring ahead at something in front of her. As the camera pans around we see ‘The S-Factor’ Scorpio, and immediately the fans begin to boo loudly. Scorpio appears more severe than previously, his eyes narrowed, his make-up sharper and darker than before. The two members of ReBelle appear deep in conversation as we join them…
Nickles: I’m worried about you, Scorps. This isn’t you… this hatred… this anger… attacking Cyrus with the hairdryer like that, then going after him again…
Scorpio: Darling, you know as well as I do, that prick has made it his number-one plan to ruin me from the second he saw me. He clearly knows how much of a threat I am to his dominance of the EWC, and he’s made it his mission to end me. I saw right through it though, and I acted… I don’t know what else you want me to do?!
Nickles: Let it go? Move on? There’s not some big conspiracy against you! I know you’re hurting from Night of Champions, I know you’re hurting from The Rumble, but don’t go down this path… don’t be that guy…
Scorpio: How else are we going to get the World Tag Team Championships back if we don’t fight them head-on? That bitch Melody Malone is sitting with MY title over her sordid shoulder, and Iggy’s parading around with yours. The EWC seems to be pretty hot on double-champions recently… I say we issue a challenge back, get those titles back around our waists, and then I’ll go after the United States Championship…
He smiles widely as the fans boo his plan loudly, however his botoxed forehead quickly furrows (as best it can…), and his ruby-red lips turn downwards as he clocks a sheepish and evasive expression on Georgie’s face. The Rebel Child sighs and meets his gaze.
Nickles: … about that.
Scorpio: Have you spoken to Delaney already?
Nickles: Not quite… listen… at The Rumble, when Iggy hit me with the Acrobatic Tenemants… well… you know I’ve had neck problems for a while now…
Scorpio: … please tell me this is a joke…
Nickles: I had a scan last week, I saw a doctor yesterday… they’ve said I can’t compete until further notice… I need time off to heal—
Before she can finish a wildly angry Scorpio gets to his feet, kicking his chair so hard it goes flying and dents the locker room wall. He screams out and Nickles closes her eyes, shaking her head and sighing as she waits for The S-Factor to calm down.
Scorpio: Of course… of course… OF BLOODY COURSE AMERICA’S MOST HATED HAVE TAKEN OUT MY TAG TEAM PARTNER. OF COURSE CYRUS’ ‘QUEEN’ HAS PLAYED A ROLE IN TAKING AWAY MY ONLY SUPPORT! Why not. End my winning streak, throw me off the top of the Insanity Cage, take my title, stop me getting my redemption in The Rumble, and now end any chance of me winning back the tag titles or having ANYONE in this place who’s got my back!
Nickles: Scorpio, calm down, please. This isn’t forever, it’s just while I recuperate, then ReBelle will be back in action—
Scorpio: Oh they won’t get away with this, Georgie my darling. Not this time. They think they’re so damn clever picking away my support bit by bit… first my fans, now my partner… I’ve had enough, this is disgusting. I bet Cyrus orchestrated it all, I bet he’s grinning from ear to f**king ear right now knowing I’m on my own, an easier target… how dare he… HOW DARE ANY OF THEM…
Without another word he shakes his head and storm out of the locker room, clearly on a mission of some sort. The camera pans back to Nickles who holds her neck and sighs, watching her partner disappear round a corner, knowing there’s so little she can do to help him right now…
Duggan: Well folks, it seems Georgie Nickles has been sidelined for the foreseeable future, putting paid to ReBelle’s chances of re-claiming the EWC World Tag Team Championships…
Martinez: And of course Scorpio has interpreted that as a personal attack. He’s sure as hell taken a dive off of a cliff as far as his mental state goes… first he cheats to win with that vicious hairdryer shot, then he attacks Black post-match with The Heel Turn, then he rants about how he’ll be the ‘villain’ Cyrus painted him out to be, and now he’s blaming Cyrus for his partner picking up an injury in a match The Champ played no role in!
Loydson: You know, I’ve always said Scorpio had the right idea. What a fantastic guy. You tell ‘em Scorps! You take down that no-good grinning son of a bitch Cyrus Black!
Martinez: Didn’t you call Scorpio a loud-mouthed transsexual who had no business appearing in an EWC ring?
Loydson: Are you kidding? I wave a rainbow flag as proudly as the best of ‘em! I made my own float for Pride this year! LONG LIVE THE GAYS! THEY’RE TAKING DOWN CYRUS BLACK AS A TEAM!
Martinez: I’m not sure that’s strictly true—
Loydson: The Gay Agenda is famously to defeat Cyrus Black, and I am here for it, YAAAAAS QUEEN!
Match #3
ANDERSON Vs THE MILLENNIAL ONE
(20 Minute Singles Match)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Duggan: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, coming up next we have a real barnburner planned.
Loydson: A hippy and a loser from FSW, lucky us.
Martinez: cheer up Loyd.
Duggan: Indeed.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall with a 20 minute time limit... Introducing first, from Harlem, New York, weighing in at 205 pounds... ALLEN ANDERSON!
Pyros hit and "0-100" by Drake begins to play while Allen comes out wearing a red hoodie in attempt to get himself pumped. He slowly walks to the ring and enters with a cocky grin on his face before taking off the hoodie and climbing the top turnbuckle posing for the crowd.
Duggan: Allen is ready to go, fired up.
Loydson: I’m ready for him to go… away.
Martinez: Phil, just stop.
Duggan: Phil is so bitter.
Chriqui: His opponent, from Seattle,Washington, weighing in at 210 pounds... “THE MILLENNIAL ONE” PRESTON DRAKE!
Everyone directs their attention to the stage. The beginning guitar riffs of "It's Too Late" plays. Fog forming in the center of the stage as some fans cheer for the man about to come out, some boo. The smoke gets heavier, until suddenly the pounding guitars kick. Preston Drake emerges from the smoke pointing to the crowd and mouthing things. He walks to both sides of the stage, pointing and such, until returning to the center and jogging down the ramp as the lyrics are playing. He is wearing a custom made Millennial Hoodie clapping his hands as he points from a distance at someone in the crowd holding up a sign that says “You're My Leader”. He gets into the face of another fan in his mid-thirties and out of shape who shouted obscenities towards him. He doesn't pay much attention as his Wife Rian Drake then comes into view by his side. They briefly kiss as he takes off his Hoodie for her to hold.He then slides into the ring and stays on one-knee. He stares at the canvas of the ring. In sync with the chorus kicking in, he raises both his arms up, still staring at the canvas. His mind in sort of a trance eyes widened with bewilderment searching the canvas in search of something lost. As he awaits for his opponent/match to begin.
DING DING DING
Drake and Anderson meet within the center of the ring and lock up in a shoulder/collar tie-up. Preston gets the slight edge over Anderson and backs him up into the ropes, there is a break and then as quick as a whip Preston nails Anderson with a straight palm strike! Anderson shoves Preston backwards but Preston lunges in with another straight palm strike before laying in with stiff kicks to Allen’s legs! After a few kicks Allen falls onto the ropes and Preston lunges into a stiff knee strike to Allen’s midsection. Preston drags Allen away from the ropes and kicks his leg out from under him! Preston takes off for the ropes before rebounding back for an elbow drop but Allin moves! Drake gets to his feet but Allen is up first. Allen shoves Preston’s head between his legs and flips into a canadian destroyer! The momentum sends Preston backwards into the ropes and Preston rebounds out before leaping into a stiff elbow drop with a deadweight cover. Allen Anderson kicks out!
Duggan: What a crazy back and forth!
Martinez: I agree! Holy cow!
Preston is up to his feet first, he pulls Allen up with him but Allen yanked him into a Irish Whip! Preston hits the corner sternum first before stumbling out and right into a Game Winner Super Kick from Preston that turns him inside out! Allen goes for the cover, Preston kicks out! Allen drags Preston up to his knees before gut wrenching him up for a powerbomb, Allen lets Preston go limp before hooking his legs behind his shoulders and leaping into a styles clash! Allen makes the cover but Preston shifts is weight and is able to shift Allen onto his back in his own cover! Allen reverses it back into a cover and Preston kicks out! Allen drags Preston up but Preston spins around into a Strike Out Pele Kick! Preston grabs ahold of both wrists and knees the soul from Allen with a Knight Ceremony! Preston makes the cover.. ONE… TWO… THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, in 10 minutes do this... PRESTON DRAKE!
Duggan: Big win for Preston Drake as he takes home his FN’R debut.
Loydson: Fucking hippy.
Martinez: Allen has nothing to be ashamed of though he nearly had Drake..
Duggan: Don't you change that channel.
Melody Malone: “Let’s just get one thing clear right now, shall we?”
The camera pans up to a desk where Melody Malone is sitting in a luxe desk chair, her feet propped up on the desktop. In her hand, she holds a coffee mug and off in the background Vanessa has her back to the camera. The Scorncenter™ logo now placed in the bottom right of the frame.
Melody Malone: "Blue Phoenix? You really do me a tremendous disservice. I mean, to have the audacity to not just insult my tag team partner - but also my tag team championship? C'mon. You went from zero to a hundred real quick, didn't you? On one hand you bragged about winning ReBelle's respect and then immediately threw them under the bus by saying Iggy and I didn't really accomplish much by beating them. So which is it Winterborn? Are they worth the respect? Or is this just a desperate attempt to discredit the myriad of championship gold that'll be in the ring with your naked waist?"
A smirk forms as she takes a drink of her coffee.
Melody Malone: "I will hand it to you though. Dominic and I are both rocking that 'former' name. He's a former Undisputed Champion. I'm the former Queen of FSW. But instead of resting on those achievements? Dominic is poised to face Ace King - win the United States championship - and move one step closer to becoming an EWC grand slam champion. And as for myself? The sound of 'EWC Rumble Winner' is pretty good. Queen of EWC is even better. And the title you'll never claim? Number one contender for the Undisputed Championship. So if that's what "former Queen of FSW" means? Then baby I'll wear that title like a badge of honor."
She holds out the coffee cup and Vanessa plucks it from her hand before offering up a teacup. Melody shoots the camera a knowing look before raising an eyebrow.
Melody Malone: "Since you're so keen on tea Stephanie… let's go on ahead and jump down the rabbit hole hm? You think the whispers everyone eventually started crowing through a bullhorn about me aren't being said about you? You couldn't even resist making the joke yourself about foursomes and bringing in Samantha Hamilton. You think an undefeated Queen like myself doesn't understand the gravity of every match I've been in since transitioning to Rampage and moonlighting on Brawl? You think I've been so enraptured by the Undisputed Champion that I can't tell the ring from a soap opera? If that's the case then I must be one hell of an actress because this soap opera star has killed more people's momentum than a rogue elevator shaft. So why don't you take your own advice about me at Wrestlefest, and apply it to what I'm doing in my down time. You've got no dog in that fight, and until it negatively affects my performance in the ring? You should really stay in your lane sweets."
She winks at the camera before the tea accidentally slips from her hands. The camera focuses on the spill and puddle forming on the floor before fading to black.
Match #4
BULLET Vs KROSS
(25 Minute Singles Match)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Duggan: Up next, Bullet Vs Kross… Let’s go!
Loydson: My fair bullet
Martinez: I think Phil has made the heart eyes emoji… with his face.
Duggan: Hey, Latinas do it best Omar.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall with a 25 minute time limit... Introducing first, from NOLA, weighing in at 135 pounds... ALEX “BULLET” CARBAJAL!
The lights dim and the Shieldmaidens motto “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here!” comes over the Tron as guitar stabs ring out. Concrete Blonde’s “God Is A Bullet” starts up in earnest and Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton, Jackie “Bandit” Layton, “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire, Aoife “Banshee” Maguire and Katrina "Knox" Knox walk out seemingly leading the way for their sixth sister. Alex “Bullet” Carbajal makes her way out in a full length boxing robe, ready for war. The Shieldmaidens make their way to the ring and Bullet steps in, starting to shadowbox the second she steps in. She raises her hands into the air and then nods, ready to go.
Duggan: Bullet is looking forward to this match, The Maiden’s have been on a roll lately
Loydson: Why yes, yes they have.
Martinez: Phil, you are being creepy.
Duggan: He is being a bit much.
Chriqui: Her opponent, from Chelsea, London, UK, weighing in at 215 pounds... KENDRICK KROSS!
'People Say That I Got A Bad Temper' As those beginning lyrics start Kendrick slowly walks out in a black jacket with blood streaks running down it. He keeps his head down until 'the line Did I Kill Him comes out when he raises his head up with an almost evil look on his face.
Kendrick walks down as the lyrics keep running down the lights staying a blood red while he slowly walks down, his eyes staying straight forward.
Kendrick slowly walks down the ramp ignoring any fans that try to touch him. He just shakes his head at signs that read 'Kendrick Sucks' and other various signs. He reaches the bottom of the ramp and stops as he lets a small smirk out and he takes a breath. He closes his eyes before opening them and walking forward taking a left towards the steps. He hops over the top rope and onto the second turnbuckle looking out into the crowd before jumping down and walking to his corner
DING DING DING
This one is a battle of two strikers as neither competitor holds back. Kross lays in with a european uppercut followed by a straight right that lands flush with Bullet’s jaw, knocking her back and stumbling her. Kross goes in for the kill but eats an uppercut that damn near knocked a tooth out! Bullet lays in some heavy strikes, hitting a wicked combo of left-right-right-uppercut and ending it with a spartan kick that takes Kross off his feet. The crowd pops. Kross wipes some blood from his mouth and gets to his feet. The duo exchange blows, going blow for blow with each other, laying in stiff, heavy shots that would knock a normal human out. The crowd goes wild.
Duggan: This is crazy! We haven’t had a fight like this is ages!
Loydson: Go Bullet!
Kross and Bullet hit the fabled double tap as both their lights go out and they hit the dirt. Our ref looks around, before starting his count. He is up to 8 when Kross gets up and stops the count by helping Bullet up! Kross feeds Bullet a heavy right hand that knocks her back down before dragging her up by her hair to her knees and stomping her head down into the canvas hard with a Tramp Stamp curb stomp. Kross makes the cover… One… Two… Three!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, in 15 minutes... KENDRICK KROSS!
Duggan: Big win here for Kross as he showed a darker side then we’ve ever seen. But take nothing away from Bullet.. These two traded blows for 15 minutes. Most lightweight boxers couldn’t go 15 minutes straight.
Loydson: Kendrick Kross is a prick, what type of man puts his hands on a woman?
Martinez: You crack me up Phil..
Duggan: See you real soon!

Match #5
DEVEREAUX Vs SCORPIO Vs THE TITANESS
(30 Minute US Title #1 Contendership Match)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Duggan: Time for the US Title #1 contendership bout!
Loydson: 2 undeserving pricks and Sammy!
Martinez: Sammy?
Duggan: Best not to ask questions.
Chriqui: The following triple threat match is scheduled for one fall with a 30 minute time limit... Introducing first, from NOLA, weighing in at 115 pounds... TANJA DEVEREAUX!
Pyros hit as Videos of bustling crowds in various locations of New Orleans appear on the tron as "Daughters of Darkness" by Halestorm blasts on the P.A. system. Tanja comes out onto the top of the ramp in a style compared to Gail Kim during her early time in TNA before heading down the ramp with some of her black leather coat flows at her feet while the mix of boos and jeers and cheers from the crowd fills the arena. She slaps hands with a few fans at ringside before she reaches the bottom of the ramp.
Tanja walk up towards the ring and enters via under the bottom rope and jumps onto the middle turnbuckle. She poses as she does her usual taunt with a hand and arm in the air as "Daughters of Darkness" continues to play. Tanja steps off the turnbuckle as she removes the leather coat and throws it into a random corner
Duggan: Tanja has been looking better than ever as of late
Loydson: She’s no Maiden or Melody, but she’s a looker.
Martinez: Phil, you disgust everyone here.
Duggan: No comment.
Chriqui: Her opponent, from London, England, weighing in at 215 pounds... “THE S-FACTOR” SCORPIO
'Iconic' - Madonna feat. Chance The Rapper hits the speakers as the house lights go down, switching to a spotlight focused on the curtain. It parts, revealing 'The S-Factor' Scorpio stood behind, a hand on his hip, the other raised above his head, cutting a beautiful silhouette. He sashays forward, a long coat dripping in jewels swaying with every step. Behind him steps Crème de la Crème, Scorpio's drag queen confidant and manager. The two look to one another and nod, before Scorpio opens his coat and drops it to the floor, revealing another stunning outfit. He steps down the ramp with a confident strut, emulating that of the catwalk models of Paris and Milan, before reaching the ring. Scorpio climbs up one set of steps as Crème climbs the other, parting the ropes to allow 'The People's Camp' in. Stepping into the middle of the ring Scorpio raises one arm, and blows a kiss with the other, a smile forming on his beautifully made-up face.
Duggan: Speaking of edge with Kross earlier, Scorpio has begun showing an edge in his hunt for the Undisputed Championship, a hunt that has landed him at the doors of the United States Championship if he can win this #1 contenders match.
Loydson: I told you that he was a no good son of a bitch. That Nickles is the same way!
Martinez: Phil and his conspiracy theories.
Chriqui: And their opponent 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.
DING DING DING
This one is a match not meant for fans of 1950s hugfests as all three competitors sprint into the center of the ring. Scorpio clotheslines Tanja with an enziguri while Sam pulls him into a DDT! Sam is back up as Tanja locks on a sleeper and rips her back into a dragon suplex dumping Sam right on her head. Sam gets right back to her feet but catches a big boot to the jaw from Tanja who turns around into a AGR FROM SCORPIO! Sam superkicks Scorpio to prevent the cover and using hoists up into a gut wrench before powerbombing him onto Tanja! Scorpio rolls off as Tanja rolls to her stomach on top of him for a cover! Scorpio kicks out just as Sam pulls him up to spike him on his head with another DDT. Scorpio’s head heads hard but the impact sling-shots him around onto his feet! Scorpio dropkicks Sam point blank in the back of her head! All 3 are down!!!
Duggan: This is batshit crazy! They are moving at 100 miles an hour!
Loydson: Come on Sam!
Martinez: They are putting it on all the line for a shot at the US Championship again!
Scorpio is back to his feet, but he’s on noodled legs. Sam rolls to her belly before pushing up and leaping into Scorpio. She locks her arm around his head/neck and flips over him, pulling him down into a Shiranui! Scorpio bounces on impact and rolls to his belly. Sam gets up to roll him but Tanja pulls here in and transitions into a STO backbreaker! Sam folds in 2 and screams in agony. Tanja pulls Scorpio up and twists him around, locking on a sleeper and going for a dragon suplex. As she lifts Scorpio breaks free and reverses into another AGR!! Scorpio makes the cover on Tanja but Sam breaks it up! Scorpio gets to his feet and kicks Sam as hard as he can in the stomach before beginning to kick her over and over again. Scorpio calls her a nappy bitch before dragging her up by her hair and flooring her with an AGR!!! Tanja hasn’t moved but Scorpio drags her up before grabbing her arm in a wrist lock. Scorpio puts his heel under her jaw and throws himself backwards, dragging Tanja with him into a Heel Turn as her face slams into her heel. Scorpio makes the cover. ONE… TWO… THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, in 22 minutes... SCORPIO!
Duggan: Scorpio was uncaged tonight, he had one thing on his mind and was determined to get it. Take nothing from Sam or Tanja though, who both dominated most of this bout.
Loydson: I told you this man was a monster, he called Sam a nappy bitch!
Martinez: This is definitely a new Scorpio, and a dangerous one at that.
Duggan: We'll be right back with tag team action!
Match #6
AMERICA'S MOST HATED (MALONE & SANDERS) Vs BLUE PHOENIX
(60 Minute Tag Team Bout)
(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)
Duggan: We are back! And we have a great tag team match for you guys.
Martinez: Blue Phoenix will take on America's Most Hated, in the form of former Undisputed Champion Dominic Sanders and one-half of the Tag Team Champions Melody Malone.
Duggan: Javier, I happen to know a little something about being one-half of the Tag Team Champions.
Loydson: And Carlos Ruiz carried your big oafish ass!
Duggan: You'd better watch your mouth before I shut it for you!
Loydson: While things heat up at the announce table, we are ready to heat it up in the ring. Emmanuelle! Take it away!
Chriqui: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!
Smoke starts forming on the stage as the opening chords of "Can't Stop the Bleeding" by Tom Morello begins playing as Stephanie Matsuda steps out on the stage, crouching in the smoke before Phoenix Winterborn steps in behind her, a hand rest on her shoulder with a smirk.
Chriqui: Making their way to the ring at a combined weight of three hundred and fifty eight pounds, they are the team of Chi-Town's Finest, Phoenix Winterborn and the War Queen, Stephanie Matsuda....BLUE PHOENIX!
Matsuda stands up next to Phoenix, bumping the backs of their fists together as they start to make their way towards the ring. The lights shine off of the X-Division Championship as they head down the ramp.
Duggan: This team of Blue Phoenix hasn't had a whole lot of matches in the EWC, but they sure are formidable.
Loydson: Formidable for... developmental, maybe. But this is FRIDAY NIGHT RAMPAGE! The A SHOW! And these kids are about to get their shit stomped in!
Martinez: Don't let the statistics fool you, Phillip. Just because their opponents have done some big things here in the EWC doesn't count them out. Matsuda is the X-Division Champion and Phoenix Winterborn has seen his fair share of success. I expect this to be a great match.
Taking opposite sides of the ring, they slide in in front of each other before hopping up and climbing adjacent turnbuckles, posing for the crowd as their music fades out slowly.
Chriqui: And their opponents...
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 Malone walks out from the back with her Tag Team Championship around her waist. After a few seconds, Dominic Sanders emerges from the back in his usual wrestling attire... but the other Tag Team Championship is draped over his shoulder. Emmanuelle Chriqui reads from a cue-card as they stand at the top of the ramp.
Chriqui: Representing America's Most Hated. They are two-thirds of the EWC Tag Team Champions... Melody Malone and Dominic Sanders!
Duggan: Did we hear that right?
Loydson: Bet your big ass we did!
Martinez: It looks like they weren't kidding around about the freebird rule. It appears that they are claiming to be the Tag Team Champions no matter what combination they produce!
Iggy Swango pops out from the back behind them. She has a piña colada in each fist as dark sunglasses mask her eyes. The three members of America's Most Hated make their way down the ramp as the crowd boos. Sanders smiles smugly at the crowd as Melody simply turns her nose up. The two of them jump onto the ring apron and climb through the ropes. They stand in the middle of the ring and 'toast' the Championships, clinging the gold plates together in unity. They reach through the ropes and hand Iggy the Championships, who has already downed one of the piña coladas. Sanders steps through the ropes, as does Winterborn. The bell rings and the match is underway!
DING DING DING
Melody and Matsuda started the match evenly. Melody tried to assert her dominance of being the true ‘Queen,’ but Matsuda matched her aggression early. They traded fists, suplexes, and short pin attempts within the first few minutes of the match while their partners watched from the apron. It wasn’t until Matsuda hit a sit-out powerbomb on Melody that she got a near-fall. Sanders came in to break it up, but he was too late as Melody had kicked out at two-and-a-half. As Sanders went back out to the ring apron, Matsuda tagged Phoenix in. Winterborn came in with a point to prove and stomped on Melody a few times before lifting her to her feet. He threw a punch at Melody, who ducked the attempt, but then nailed her with a Feint DDT. He went for a cover, but Sanders was in the ring stomping on his head before Toyo Yasahiro could get to a two count. Matsuda came in to help Phoenix, but Yasahiro rushed her into the corner and demanded she get back to the ring apron. Meanwhile, Sanders and Malone pulled Winterborn to their corner and Malone began stomping a hole in Winterborn’s chest. Matsuda went to the apron and Yasahiro turned around to see Malone wailing on Phoenix. He began a five-count, which Melody ended at four. She argued with Yasahiro in the center of the ring. Yasahiro’s back was to Winterborn, however, and Sanders lifted him up and wrung the tag rope around his neck.
Duggan: Turn around Toyo!
Loydson: Don’t turn around! This is great! Choke that poor kid out, Dominic!
Matsuda entered the ring and Yasahiro went to cut her off. Malone ran to their corner and began slapping Winterborn’s now-purple face with both hands. Finally, Matsuda exited the ring and Yasahiro turned around. Sanders released the tag rope and threw his hands in the air.
Martinez: Oh yeah sure. You did nothing!
Loydson: I saw nothing!
Malone tagged Sanders into the match and he entered the ring. The two of them executed a perfect double-suplex in the center of the ring. Sanders casually covered Winterborn.
ONE!

TWO!!

KICKOUT!
Sanders got off of the mat and grabbed Winterborn. He dragged Phoenix back into the corner and Melody tagged herself in. The two members of America’s Most Hated stomped on Winterborn in the corner as Yasahiro urged Sanders to get back to the apron. After another four count, Sanders finally exited the ring. Melody reached up and tagged Sanders back into the match.
Duggan: I’ve got to say… Melody Malone and Dominic Sanders are working very well together.
Loydson: No surprise to me. They’re upper-echelon competitors! And they are the Tag Team Champions!
Martinez: Melody Malone and Iggy Swango are the Tag Team Champions. Who’s to say that this ‘freebird rule’ is going to hold up for them?
Sanders entered the ring and grabbed Winterborn. He went for the Funky Town, but Winterborn was able to counter it and land on his feet behind Sanders. Sanders turned around right into a spinning heel kick. Winterborn hit Sanders with two more to complete the Reign of Fire and Sanders went down to the mat. Winterborn crawled towards his corner and leapt with a desperation tag to Stephanie Matsuda, who entered the ring on fire! She unleashed a fury of kicks to Sanders’ body and head, leaving him in a daze! She even kicked him so hard that she knocked him out of the ring and he bumped into Iggy Swango, spilling the rest of her piña colada.
Loydson: There will be hell to pay for that! No one messes with Iggy’s cocktails!
Sanders got back up to his feet. Matsuda tagged Winterborn into the ring and Winterborn ran over to the top turnbuckle and squared Sanders up. Malone stepped into the ring, thus distracting Yasahiro. As Winterborn jumped off looking for a high missile dropkick, Swango took the glass from her now-empty piña colada and threw it at Winterborn, hitting him square in the face on the way down! Sanders grabbed Winterborn, who became busted open in his forehead from the glass. He rolled Winterborn into the ring and Malone went out to the apron. He tagged Melody into the match and Melody climbed to the top turnbuckle. Sanders ran to the other side of the ring and knocked Matsuda off of the apron. He exited the ring to keep her at bay. As Winterborn got to his feet, Melody leapt off and connected with Off With Their Head! She covered Winterborn immediately.
ONE!

DING DING DING
Chriqui: Here are your winners at fifty two minutes via pinfall… the EWC Tag Team Champions, America’s Most Hated!
Duggan: Well that was a cluster!
Loydson: Cluster or not, the best in the business just won the match!
Martinez: Give it up for Blue Phoenix. They fought hard, but the numbers game caught up to them! I never thought I would see the day where Iggy Swango would do something like that.
Loydson: As I said, there would be hell to pay for spilling her piña colada!
The camera cuts backstage as we hear the voice of unidentified lady
Unidentified Lady: Are you sure it’s ok for me to be back here?
The camera pulls back a little to show a much different looking Little Miss Sunshine, older and a bit heavier than many remembered her from her days in the 90’s, who seems a little hammered as she leans against the wall to keep upright. A hand comes into the frame and the hand grabs her around the arm and pulls her off the wall. As the camera continues to pull back we see the hand belongs to none other than ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love, who also seems a little tipsy
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: It’s fine Trish…
Little Miss Sunshine: Don’t call me by my REAL name at a wrestling event...I have an image to uphold, Trish is twice divorced mother of three living in a shitty walk up in Flagstaff but Little Miss Sunshine is a sex kitten...do you know how many guys came up to me today and told me about how they use to jerk it off to me every Monday and Friday nights back in the 90’s?
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: I use to jerk it to you 5 days a week…
Little Miss Sunshine: Oh Tommy you always were so sweet...wait only 5 days a week?
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Well I use to also work with Jungle Lady on Thursday and Sunday…
Little Miss Sunshine: You know she had herpes right…
Tommy looks at her and then shakes his head
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Regardless it was always you Sunshine…
She smiles as she wraps her arms around the neck of Tommy Love
Little Miss Sunshine: It must KILLED you watching me and Bobby Rose hook up town after town…
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: I’m not going to lie, it sucked but Bobby was part of The Southern Express and I was their manager...it was my job to keep him and Jimmy Lane happy...like it is now with Killjoy Ito…
Little Miss Sunshine: Speaking of...where is Killjoy tonight?
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: He didn’t make the trip out here, he’s in New Orleans getting ready for YOUNGBLOOD…
Little Miss Sunshine: I want tickets to that Tommy…
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Well that could be tough, listen getting you into Rampage or any other EWC show is one thing when you aren’t on the list but ppv’s are different…
Little Miss Sunshine grabs Tommy by the jacket
Little Miss Sunshine: Then put me on the list honey…
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: I could...but what do I get out of this?
Little Miss Sunshine smiles and leans in close to Tommy
Little Miss Sunshine: I’ll give you the one thing you’ve always wanted Tommy…
Tommy smiles and mouths ‘oh boy’ into the camera but then turns back towards Little Miss Sunshine
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Well that’s tempting but I might need a little preview of what I’m getting…
Tommy starts to untuck his shirt as Little Miss Sunshine nods and starts to look around
Little Miss Sunshine: Ok but not out here…
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Alright how about…
Tommy smiles as he looks around and sees a door with the name plate: CYRUS BLACK
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: In here…
Little Miss Sunshine: In Cyrus Black’s locker room, is he going to be ok with this?
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Oh yeah, he’s cool with it, the guy loves me and lets me use his stuff all the time, he’s on his way to the ring to face Ace King, I’ll just leave him a note that we used his room...come on…
Tommy walks over and opens the door and Little Miss Sunshine walks into Cyrus Black’s locker room
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Get comfortable and lose that top honey and I’ll be right there…
Tommy closed the door and pulls out his phone
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Jimmy...it’s Tommy...remember back in 1995 when I said I’d nail Little Miss Sunshine...and you said no way in hell...and I said I’d bet you a grand...well get ready to pay up buddy because I’m about to seal the deal...so hit the blood bank or the sperm back because I want my money...you don’t believe me...ok sit tight...I’ll LiveStream this bitch…
Tommy hits end and then fumbles around his phone and finds the RECORD button and hits it, he looks into the camera
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: You want proof Jimmy...here is your proof...oh and Cyrus...thanks for the roomy buddy...I’M GOING TO SEED ALL OVER IT BUDDY…
Tommy laughs as he pulls off his jacket to show off his new t-shirt #SEEDED and watches as the number keeps growing with viewers…
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Look at all you sick freaks...oh well get ready to see a lot of me…
Tommy sort of hides his phone in his jacket making sure the lens is not covered as he walks into the room...the camera doesn’t follow but can hear Tommy’s last words before the door closes…
‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: WOW...no grass on the field...time to play ball, just grab Cyrus’ bag...we’ll use that to prop you up...
MAIN EVENT
BLACK Vs KING
(60 Minute Steel Cage Match)
(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)
Duggan: Now ladies and gentlemen, boy and girls, freaks and geeks... it’s main event time and boy do we have a match for you! It’s the United States Champion and Mr Rampage himself Ace King going one on one with the Undisputed and International champion Cyrus Black.
Martinez: If that’s not enough to tickle your pickle then how about we throw a steel cage into the mix?
Loydson: Hopefully these two hurt each other really badly inside that cage tonight and we don’t need to see either of them for a while. I’m sick of the sight of them both. Especially Cyrus... what does Melody see in him? She can do so much better. She needs a sugar daddy looking after her.
Duggan: I’ll just ignore that. So folks we are about to witness two of the best wrestlers on the planet go head to head in front of our very eyes, and there’s real beef between these two! Ace defeated Cyrus back in June in a number one contenders match for the Undisputed championship then fast forward to August and Cyrus won the insanity cage match at Night of Champions taking the Undisputed championship from Ace in the process. There is unfinished business here that’s for sure.
Chriqui: The following match is a steel cage match and it is scheduled for one fall, Introducing first, from Carson City Nevada, weighing in at 230 pounds... He is the EWC Undisputed and International champion... CYRUS BLACK!!!!!!
The whole arena goes dark for a moment, a spotlight hits the entrance ramp and music plays from the PA system.
"Life is a mystery..."
The silhouette of a man moves into the spotlight, arms raised above his head as he starts to clap.
"And it feels like home..."
The lights go up around the arena, two red pyrotechnics go off at either side of the stage as the chorus hits...
"When you call my name
it's like a little prayer..."
Cyrus starts clapping as he merrily skips from one side of the entrance ramp to the other, looking out at the sea of fans, goading them to clap along with him. Cyrus makes his way down the entrance ramp with the International championship around his waist and the Undisputed championship over his shoulder as he engages with fans along the way, dishing out high fives and hugs as he jives his way to the ring.
"I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there..."
Sliding underneath the bottom rope into the ring, Cyrus shuffles from one corner buckle to another, continuously banging the palms of his hands together as the fans are on there feet clapping with him,
"Just like a prayer you know,
I'll take you there...".
Cyrus casually leans against the ropes, with a cheesy grin on his face.
"THE ACE OF SPADES!!! THE ACE OF SPADES!!!"
The crowd hears Lemmy's growl, and they go nuts as the opening bass line to 'Ace of Spades' rips through The Golden 1 Center. As the drums kick in, pyro goes off up and down the ramp in time with the beat, while frenetic red and gold spotlights pulse through the building before fixating on the ramp.
Announcer: Making his way to the ring, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He is the EWC 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 Cyrus Black.
DING DING DING
The cage door is locked and the bell rings as Black and King approach each other. The crowd are electric as both men go nose to nose. King says something to Black that the camera doesn’t pick up but Black starts laughing and says something back to King which the gambler clear doesn’t like as he headbutts Black in the face causing him to stumble back towards the ring ropes.
As King charges towards Black, the undisputed champ throws his knee up which connects with King’s jaw. Black then wraps his arms around Kings waist and lift him over his head for a release belly to belly suplex which sends King over the ropes as his body smashes into the cage.
Duggan: Holy moly! Ace Kings body might be broken in half after that belly to belly right into that cold hard unforgiving steel structure!
Black grabs a hold of King by the hair and pulls him up to his feet as he does King catches Black off guard with a hard European uppercut, followed by rapid stiff kicks to Blacks legs. Black responds by hitting King in the chest with the palm of hands, causing King to fall back and bounce off of the ropes which send him forward again. As King comes back towards him, Black goes for a clothesline but King ducks the move and instead he grabs Black and pulls him in, hitting a Devils lock DDT.
Loydson: Nice Devils lock DDT there, but look at Ace’s body, red raw and full of nasty bruises! That’s what the steel can do to you.
King pushes himself up into his feet and pulls Black up with him. Keeping a hold of Black, King lifts him in the air and proceeds to hit his trademark move four of a kind suplexs. With every rolling vertical suplex that King hits the crowd count along!
King springs to his feet and takes a run, leaping off of the ropes and spring boarding backwards hitting a moonsault on Black. King makes the pin attempt...

TWO....Kickout! Black suddenly comes to life, grabbing a hold of Kings head and locking in a Guillotine chokehold.
Duggan: Ace King was in complete control there but out of nowhere Cyrus Black has caught him in a chokehold!
King tries to roll himself out of the submission but Black has the Guillotine locked in tight. King uses his two hands and with all his strength he pushes himself up off of the floor with Black still holding onto his head. King manages to stand on his two feet, and with Black still hanging onto him with the submission King runs Black back first into the hard steel. Black let’s go of the Guillotine, holding his back in pain as King hits a high dropkick on him which causes Black to bounce off of the ropes and back towards King as he tries to hit a high knee strike on the gambler. King expertly dodges the knee strike, grabbing a hold of Blacks legs, pulling him to floor and locking in a Texas cloverleaf on the Undisputed champion. Black reaches towards the ring ropes but he’s too far away to grab onto them as King applies as much pressure to the cloverleaf as he possibly can.
Martinez: Now it’s King who’s got the submission hold locked in. Black could tap out here, he looks in real pain!
Black replicates King by pushing himself up off of the mat with his two hands as King still has a grip on his legs. Black rocks to the side and then spins around causing King to fall to the side and break the hold. Black gets to his feet and rushes to the middle turnbuckle, leaping onto it and then back towards King looking for his trademark move Lucky Star but King catches Black in mid air and then in one swift move he throws Black backwards over his shoulder for a back body drop straight into the cage!
The fans are applauding the action as Black lays inbetween the steel and the ring ropes. King grabs a hold of Black, pulling him up to his feet, he shoves Blacks face into the steel. King looks like a man possessed as he rakes Blacks face along the steel. The stitches on Blacks forehead burst open and he starts to bleed heavily.
Duggan: Oh man! Black still has a wound on his head from Scorpios brutal assault on him last week on brawl and now it’s busted open again! Ace King is intent on doing some damage here to the Undisputed champion.
King pulls Black into the middle of the ring as blood continues to gush from Blacks forehead. King lifts Black up and hits a Sitout Gutwrench powerbomb on him before making the pin....

King gets to his feet, his hands covered in Blacks’s blood, as he circles his opponent. Black slowly crawls to the ring ropes, gripping onto them and pulling himself up to his feet as King stalks him from behind. Black turns around and right into King’s high roller move! Black looks like he’s old cold as King makes the pin....

THRE....Black gets a shoulder up again! Ace sits on the mat and stares at Cyrus for a moment.
Loydson: Ace King looks a little bit frustrated. I think he thought he had that one in the bag there.
Martinez: I think we all did! Cyrus does not look in good shape right now.
King is on his feet now and after looking down at Cyrus on the mat again he decides to start climbing the cage much to the crowds delight. King is half way up the cage as he looks back to see that Cyrus is still hurt and bleeding on the mat.
Duggan: Ace King is heading to the top! If he gets over and drops to the outside floor then he wins!
Loydson: Yeh thanks Grizzly, we know how a cage match works.
Martinez: Wait... Cyrus Black is back on his feet!
King is nearly at the top of the cage as Black is on his feet, although still looking dazed, he sees King climbing and suddenly gets a burst of energy as he runs to the side of the cage that King is on. King is sitting on top of the cage now as Black climbs as quickly as he can. King swings his two legs over the other side of the cage and begins to climbs down as the fans are on there feet. King decides to lets go and jump to the floor below but as he does Black reaches over the top of the cage and grabs a hold of Kings arm! King’s body is now dangling over the opposite side of the cage as Black hangs onto him for dear life.
Martinez: Oh man if Cyrus let’s go of Ace then he’ll fall to the floor and win the match! I can’t watch!
Black tries to use his strength to start to pull King back to the top of the cage which causes excruciating pain to Kings arm. King has no choice but to grab back onto the cage and climb back up to the top.
King and Black are both now sitting on top of the cage and exchanging stiff shot after shot to each other’s face and body. King’s nose is bleeding and his right eye is swollen. Blacks forehead and half of his face is totally covered in blood. Both men have a hold of each other’s heads now as trade hard shots to the face. King catches Black with an elbow across the cheekbone which stuns Black as he flops backwards. This gives King time to pull himself to his feet.
After a moment of looking out towards the crowd King grabs a hold of Black and hoists him up to his feet and as he does this Black catches him with a forearm shot to the stomach which seems to take the wind out King. Both men are now standing at the top of the cage as Black takes a quick look down back into the ring before he grapples up with King grabbing a hold of his attire, Black lifts King high in the air. The gasps can be heard around the arena as Black superplexs King off of the top of the cage. Both men’s bodies make a sickening thud as they crash back down to the mat. The fans are chanting and cheering like crazy.
HOLY S*IT....
HOLY S*IT...
HOLY S*IT...
HOLY S*IT...
HOLY S*IT...
Duggan: MY GOD... did we just witness two careers end here tonight? Someone better get some medics out here!
Black and King are both motionless in the ring as the ref checks them before calling for medics who come from the behind the curtain and down towards the ring. The referee unchains the cage door as the cameras pans to the crowd who look genuinely shocked and worried for both men.
Loydson: I think it could be all over! It’s an early trip to the hospital for Ace King and Cyrus Black folks! Goodbye and goodnig.....
Loydson is cut off by the roar of the crowd as Black rolls onto his belly and starts crawling towards the open cage door.
Martinez: Cyrus Black is on the move! It’s not over yet!!! And it looks like Ace King is still alive aswell. They two guys are warriors!
King is starting to move but Black is already at the cage door and he starts to pull himself through. Suddenly a chorus of boos and jeers erupt from the crowd.
Loydson: HA are they booing because Cyrus is about to win? I’ll boo with them... booooo... Melody deserves better than a dirty Nevadan for a boyfriend... boooooo....
Duggan: Shut up for a minute Philip!!! I know why they’re booing... NO... LOOK... it’s Scorpio!!!!
The camera pans to the front of the crowd and catches Scorpio pushing past some fans as he jumps the barricade. A referee and some medical staff try to stop him but Scorpio barges through them, as he grabs a hold of the cage door and slams it right into Black’s head, knocking him clean out.
Martinez: Come on now! That’s not right! Scorpio has no business out here and he’s just cracked that cage door against Cyrus’s head.
Scorpio laughs as he pushes Black’s body back into the ring as some referee run down the ramp to try and stop him from entering the cage but it’s too late. Scorpio climbs into the ring and grabs a hold of Black by the hair, forcefully pulling him to his feet as he begins to bleed heavily from the forehead again. Scorpio shouts something explicit into Blacks face as he holds him up, then he hits Black with the AGR. The entire crowd is chanting abuse at Scorpio and he seems to be loving every minute of it.
AS*HOLE....
AS*HOLE....
AS*HOLE....
AS*HOLE....
AS*HOLE....
Duggan: What is wrong with this man? He makes Dominic Sanders look like a saint!
King is on his feet now as Scorpio points down at Black’s lifeless body and shouts “Go on then.” King pauses for a moment, breathing heavily and bleeding from the mouth and the nose, he switches his gaze between Scorpio and Black. Scorpio starts to get irritated as he yells at King. “GO ON.. F**CKING PIN HIM”. King stares at Black for a moment before fixating his eyes back onto Scorpio and slowly shaking his head. The crowd goes wild as King engages in a stare off with Scorpio.
Scorpio shrugs his shoulders and turns to leave... but then he turns back around and rushes King, trying to catch him off guard but the Gambler is alert and the two men start to trade back and forth blows.
Duggan: Oh boy! Scorpio and Ace King are going at it now! This is a wild match!!!!
King starts to get the better of Scorpio as he hits rapid kicks to the side of Scorpios body causing the S-factor to back away into the corner. As King comes towards him Scorpio reaches forward and stabs his thumb in Kings eye, momentarily blinding him. Scorpio then drops to his knees and low blows King. Scorpio pounces back to his feet as King holds his private parts. Scorpio then plants King on the mat with the AGR.
Scorpio has a grin on his face as raises his arms in the air and stands over both King and Blacks bodies. He then wipes his boot on Kings face and then he does the same with Black before making his way out of the cage door. When he’s half way out of the door, Scorpio turns and looks back into the ring and his expression turns to anger once more as he moves quickly around to the times keepers area and grabs a steel chair. Just as he’s making his way back towards the cage door with the steel chair in hand another loud cheer erupts throughout the crowd.
Martinez: Here comes the queen of the EWC Melody Malone!!!!!!
Malone sprints down the ramp and around the cage. Scorpio swings the chair towards her but Malone ducks under it and Scorpio smacks the chair off of the cage. Malone dropkicks the chair into Scorpios face as he falls against the fan barricade. Malone throws herself at Scorpio, crashing into him as the two fall over the barricade and into the front row.
Scorpio and Malone both get to there feet and start to punch and kick the living daylights out of each other as they move throughout the crowd with security hot on there tail. Meanwhile, back in the ring King and Black are both somehow moving again as they back way to opposite corners.
Duggan: This is absolute carnage!!! Melody Malone and Scorpio are deep in the crowd somewhere trying to kill each other, and then in the ring I don’t know how but Ace King and Cyrus Black are back on there feet!
King and Black slowly approach each other, meeting in the middle of the ring. Both of them covered in blood and looking exhausted, King gives Black a nod of the head and Black nods back then the two start trading rapid forearm shots to the head as the crowd are on there feet applauding both men.
King kicks Black in the gut as he drops to his knees. King then runs off of the ropes and back towards Black, as he does this Black rolls forward and sweeps King off of his feet. Black pushes himself upright and runs off of the ropes, then as King gets to his knees Black comes from behind him, kicking him in the back of head with his finisher the Blackout!!!!! As King collapses back onto the mat Black falls backwards. Toyo Yasahiro calls for the bell, motioning to his watch. It's been an hour!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winners, via time limit draw... ACE KINGGGGGGG AND CYRUS BLACKKKKKKK!!!
Duggan: Neither man won this absolute war tonight! They nearly killed each other out there. A war that was nearly spoiled by Scorpio!
Loydson: Spoiled? Scorpio made it better in my opinion! And why the hell didn’t Ace pin Cyrus when he had the chance! Scorpio laid Cyrus on a plate for him. Is he an idiot?
Martinez: No he’s not an idiot! Ace King didn’t want to win the match in that way! That’s the difference between Ace and Scorpio. Where is he anyway? I’m hearing that security have separated him and Melody. Scorpio has been escorted from the building.
Duggan: We are out of time folks, I need a lie down after that chaos. Congratulations to both men, they busted their asses tonight! We will see you again real soon folks.
Medical staff are in the ring attending to both Ace King and Cyrus Black as the cage rises from the ring. Melody Malone comes out of the crowd and back into the ring, she kneels down next to Black as the show ends.
