Duggan: That's the top of the card, but the rest of the show is just as stacked. We have tag action, a handicap match and several triple threats!
Loydson: YEP! Should be a boring night until Melody shows up.

MATCH #1
DONKEY PUNCH Vs DIESEL PUNX
(2 On 3 Handicap Bout, 20 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: It is time to kick off our evening! Donkey Punch is already in the ring and ready for this opening bout!
The lights go black and "Longnecks and Rednecks" begins playing.
Chriqui: And their opponents... being accompanied by Bandana Joe Porter... at a total combined weight of six hundred and seventy pounds... Dr. Psycho, Martin O'Connor, and Jeffrey Goldberg... DIESEL PUNX M.C!
Headlights flash on and all four members of Diesel Punx MC ride out on stage on their choppers. They band up close together and bump fists as they then ride down the ramp and lap the ring revving up their choppers before coming to a stop, turning off their engines, and getting off of their bikes. They then get in the ring.
Duggan: Guys, I couldn't tell you the last time Donkey Punch was in the ring.
Martinez: Believe it or not, it wasn't that long ago. On September 11th, they went to FSW and took on the Mercenary in, coincidentally, a handicap match.
Loydson: And they got their butts kicked. They had the numbers advantage then and couldn't get the job done. Imagine what is about to happen to them tonight! They are down a man!
Duggan: That's right. This is a three-on-two handicap match. The only member of Diesel Punx MC that will not be in the ring is Bandana Joe Porter.
DING DING DING
All five men were in the ring for this match. Donkey Punch caught the Diesel Punx by surprise early on with some eye-pokes and foot stomps. They locked hands and double-clotheslined Goldberg. Then O'Connor. Then Dr. Psycho. All three members of the Diesel Punx rolled out of the ring to regroup next to Joe Porter.
Duggan: Look at Donkey Punch! They are starting out hot!
Loydson: You think these two idiots can last very long?
With the Diesel Punx on the outside, Danny Madison ran at Donnie and Donnie hip-tossed Danny over the top rope and onto the Diesel Punx, taking all four men out at once. Donnie slid into the ring and they waited for their opponents to get back to their feet. This time, Danny sprinted across the ring and bounced off of the ropes. Donnie lifted his brother high into the air into a gorilla press and tossed him outside onto the Diesel Punx. But, this time, the biker gang caught Danny and Martin O'Connor took control, driving him hard into the ring post. O'Connor tossed Danny aside and the four members of the Diesel Punx got into the ring.
Martinez: Wait a second. Get Joe Porter out of there! He isn't in this match!
The four men converged on Donnie Madison and started pummeling him. The referee struggled to get any order. Joe Porter stood back as the other three held Donnie up. Porter ran at Donnie and drove a Brogue Kick right into his face. The referee finally got Porter out of the ring after that, but he immediately went over to Danny Madison and nailed him with a big boot, sending him tumbling over the announce table and laying between it and the guardrail. Inside of the ring, the rest of the Diesel Punx MC lifted Donnie Madison up and drove him down with a triple powerbomb. Dr. Psycho knelt down on Donnie's chest for a three count and a win.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Here are your winners... the Diesel Punx MC!
Duggan: Well, Donkey Punch fought hard, but it was never going to be enough against three people.
Martinez: More like four!
Loydson: Doesn't matter if it were one, two, three, or four of them. That match was always the Diesel Punx to win!
NSFW’s new logo, bleak and disenfranchised, flashes on the screen. Then across the bottom, another message: MAKES THEIR RETURN TO FRIDAY NIGHT RAMPAGE - ONE NIGHT ONLY at the 2019 SEASON FINALE!
Voiceover: And now more horseshit claims by Cyrus Black!
The camera cuts to the backstage area. Melody Malone knocks on the “KILTBRO” locker room door before entering .
Malone: Hey.. Cy... only me! Thought I’d come and see you before our matches...
Cyrus Black’s voice bursts out from the shower area.
Black: Oh hey!!! I’m.. uh... in the shower...
Malone: Oh really, nice timing by me then. I’ve got some time before my match maybe I’ll join you.
As Malone approaches the showers Cyrus pokes his head out.
Black: No! Don’t come in here!
Malone: What the hell are you up to? You better not be in there with one of those fleshlights again!!
Black: No! I told you that was completely innocent! I’m trying on my outfit for the main event tonight. I’ve been thinking that myself and Ace need to really get on the same page so I’ve planned a special entrance for us, to smooth things over. He’s not a bad guy really. I’ve got the perfect way to put the Nevada Knights back on track!
Malone: That’s actually a good idea. Then you can both concentrate on beating the shit out of that clown Scorpio. So let me see the outfit!
Black: No! it’s a surprise! Don’t worry I’ll have the outfit on back in the hotel later tonight. We can play then my lady.
Malone smiles and rolls her eyes as she turns and walks back out of the locker room door. Cyrus continues to talk, unaware that Malone has already left.
Black: I mean I can’t show my outfit... but do you really need an outfit when you can have me like this...
A couple of second later fellow KILTBRO and the savior and champion of North America Kyle Gautier walks into the locker room. At that exact moment Cyrus steps out of the shower in the nude. The grin on Cyrus’s face turns to horror as he covers up his private’s that are not in shot of the camera.
Black: Jeeeezzzzus! Kyle.. where did yo... I thought you were Mel!!!
Kyle causally leans an elbow against a locker.
Gautier: Have you been working out? D.O.G would be proud of you... you still need to work on those thighs though chicken boy.
The camera cuts back to ringside.
Duggan: Well, we didn't get any horseshit claims from Cyrus as promised but maybe later! For now, we've gotta go to break.
MATCH #2
JACKSON Vs MANSON
(Singles Bout, 20 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: And now our second match of the evening, It’s William Manson Vs Voshon Jackson.
Loydson: That Manson fella has some good ideas, and Voshon is a complete asshole... I cannot wait for this one.
Martinez: I don’t even know what to say to that.
Duggan: Just smile and nod.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall and has a 20 minute time limit... Introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 245 pounds... VOSHON JACKSON!
'Therapy Session' – NF sounds off as Voshon comes out. He walks down to the ring.
Duggan: Voshon means business tonight.
Loydson: He always means business Griz!
Martinez: I tell you, that look could kill.
Duggan: It very well could Omar, but William is going to have something to say about that.
Chriqui: His opponent, from London, England, weighing in at 238 pounds... WILLIAM MANSON!
Pyros hit and Monster by Skillet begins to play, smoke begins to fill the stage and through the smoke a silhouette appears. Slowly Manson begins to walk through the smoke, his deadpan stare focused on the ring. He bears his teeth and claws his hands down his face. The then bursts down the entrance ramp, sliding into the ring teeth still beared and clenched this time towards the crowd. He stands as if nothing has happened and faces the curtain/his opponent.
DING DING DING
This match is a match of sheer power, a hoss fight through a through. Voshon and William meet in the middle of the ring and trade jabs back and forth. Voshon leaps into a dropkick out of nowhere that sends William backwards into the ropes, William rebounds out and smashes into Voshon with a clothesline. Voshon gets to his feet but is pulled into a belly-to-belly suplex! William drags Voshon up but Voshon pulls him into a quick scoop powerslam. William gets back up to his feet and eats a big boot that sumbles him. Voshon pulls him forward and lifts up into a suplex before spiking him headfirst with a brainbuster. William jumps back up to his feet and bitch slaps Voshon. The crowd is on their feet.
Duggan: Two big men trying their best to out big man the other. What a clinic. I would have loved to get in there with either man.
Loydson: Me too Duggan, but in my prime I would have smacked them both around.
Martinez: I’m sure you would have.
Duggan: Definitely.
Voshon shoves William backwards before catching him with a second dropkick. Voshon pulls William up onto his shoulder and leaps into a powerslam in the center of the ring. Voshon pulls William up by his hair and headbutts him. William stumbles backwards. Voshon goes for another dropkick but William ducks it before yanking him up into a German suplex! His trademark Execution! Voshon rolls over to his belly, William leaps into a Shattered Dreams curbstomp, slamming Voshon’s face into the canvas. William covers.
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, in 15 minutes... WILLIAM MANSON!
Duggan: Very good match, William Manson was just able to come out on top there.
Loydson: Voshon “lost”, but he has nothing to be ashamed of there. .
Martinez: I cannot believe I am saying this, but i agree Phil. .
Duggan: Definitely, now I've been told we have a video up on the MacTron.
The camera opens up to the outside of a Gold's Gym. Text on the bottom of the screen tells us this is in Orlando, Florida. Cutting to inside the gym, the camera pans across the room as numerous gym patrons get their workout in. But the camera hones in, focusing on one occupant in particular in grey sweat pants, a black tanktop and a black "Akuma's Dojo" skullcap. After drilling a heavy bag with a few sharp punches and kicks, he stops and notices the camera. Here, he grabs a towel and wipes his face before hanging it over one shoulder.
Stone: "Hi! I'm Vincent Stone."
He greets the camera and viewers with a cheerful yet almost sarcastic tone as the camera starts backing away with Stone walking forward.
Stone: "Today we're gonna talk about opportunity. We're gonna talk about new beginnings. Something you don't see a lot of in the world of professional wrestling...."
The camera abruptly does a rush edit and pans across the gym where somewhat of a stereotypical juice head wearing a UFC shirt points and screams into the camera---
"Pro wrestlers are a bunch of pussies---"
The man is abruptly interrupted as Stone hits him with a superkick to the face and emerges, somehow, from the gym sauna--
Stone: "Ah, shaddaaaaap!!"
Stone rolls his eyes before looking to the camera again.
Stone: "Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah. The key ingredient to success in this business is believing in yourself. Especially when punk asses like that guy--" he thumbs back to the guy he kicked, comically laid out on the gym floor in the background, "--keep doubting and saying you'll never make it. Hey, I won't lie. I had a rocky start. Who remembers this?"
We get a quick flash cut to old footage of an eighteen year old Vincent Stone in his jobber years as the retired giant, Doomsday - for those that might know him, drives him into the mat with a vicious powerbomb and pins him with a foot on his chest. The camera snaps back to Stone in the gym with a comical grimace on his face.
Stone: "Yeeeah. If I could turn back time.... But, you see, a rocky start like that might dissuade somebody from continuing on in their career. Demotivate them. Make them quit." He thumbs to himself and shakes his head. "Not this guy. I like to learn from my mistakes. And I learned that back then, let's be honest. I wasn't ready. I rushed head on into things a little early. But that was then and this...this is now." He tosses the towel on his shoulder off to the side and grows more serious.
Stone: "Opportunity is always there. You just gotta reach out and grab a hold of it!" He says this while reaching out and clenching a fist. "If you get knocked down in this business, you've got two choices. You can lick your wounds and skulk away like a whipped dog, or you can spit the blood out of your mouth, pick your ass up and make yourself better. Make yourself stronger. Harden yourself up. Be reborn. I've got a track record in this business that isn't so pretty. My track record ain't great. I remember it. I acknowledge it. I don't try to forget and ignore it like everyone else who 'repackages' themselves...." Stone makes quotation marks with his fingers.
Stone: "But the guy who made his checks getting his ass kicked by the top names in the business is gone. I dare say, he's even dead. You're looking at the evolution of Vincent Strife. Determined. Driven. Unbreakable. And when I arrive at the EWC...I'm coming in faster and more intense than you've ever seen."
With a fist coming at the camera, the screen explodes to a display of the words 'VINCENT STONE IS COMING'.
MATCH #3
THE MILLENNIAL ONE Vs THE TITANESS
(Singles Bout, 20 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Duggan: Lets crack on with more wrestling shall we? Next up we’ve got the number one contender to the International Championship the Titaness Samantha Hamilton going one on one with the impressive newcomer the millennial one Preston Drake.
Loydson: This is a big match for both of these competitors. Hamilton doesn’t want to lose any ground heading into Wrestlefest and a win for Preston would push him further up the ladder towards a potential future title shot.
Martinez: On Rampage we always bring you the best action in professional wrestling!
Duggan: Lets get this match underway.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall Introducing first, Coming to the ring he is an Anchorage, Alaska native weighing in at just a toned two hundred and ten pounds he is "The Millennial One" Preston....Dr-Ake!
’it’s too late’ by seven year bitch blasts out from the P.A. system as Preston Drake makes his way down to the ring.
Chrqui: His opponent, Introducing... 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!!!!
You're Going Down' by Sick Puppies begins playing, the Titaness saunters down the ramp and towards the ring.
DING DING DING
Drake charges at Hamilton as the bell rings, springing forward with a knee strike but Hamilton blocks the attack and instead she lifts Drake up and slams him onto the mat with a huge spinebuster. Hamilton drags Drake up off of his feet and whips him off of of the ropes, as he comes back her Hamilton catches him with a big boot. Hamilton picks Drake up off of his feet and lifts him up onto her shoulders where she performs a GTS on him. Hamilton goes for a pin looking for the early win but Drake kicks out at two.
Hamilton doesn’t waste any time as she again pulls Drake to his feet, kicks him in the gut and lifts him up into a powerbomb position but Drake elbows Hamilton on the head and she stumbles back and drops him. Drake lands on his feet and he catches Hamilton with an open palm chop to the chest and then another couple of straight palm strike to her face. Hamilton falls backwards as Drake rushes at her and hits a jumping double knee strike that sends her through the middle ropes and onto the outside.
Duggan: Hamilton started the match on fire but Drake has fought back and is now in control.
Loydson: We’ve got a match on our hands now!
Drake goes for a Suicide Plancha to Outside but Hamilton is on her feet and she sees Drake coming, as he comes over the top rope she pulls off a super kick catching Drake in mid air. The fans are on there feet, some gasping and some cheering as Drake lies hurt on the outside.
Hamilton picks Drake up, wrapping her arms around his waist she charges him into the ring post back first before rolling him into the ring. Once in the ring Hamilton lifts Drake up again, grabbing onto his throat she lifts him in the air and plants him on the mat with a chokeslam. Hamilton goes for the pin but Drake gets a foot on the rope at the two and a half count.
Martinez: That super kick on the outside has really taken it out of Drake. He’s hanging on by a thread here.
As Hamilton grabs onto Drake’s hair and pulls him off of his feet he suddenly pulls off his version of a Pele kick that he calls Strike Out catching Hamilton off guard as she falls to the mat. Drake then jumps onto the ring ropes and leaps backwards, landing on Hamilton with his springboard moonsault move that he calls Millennial Shift. Drake goes for the pin but Hamilton uses her strength to throw him off of her at the two count.
Drake gets to his feet and springboard off of the ropes again toward Hamilton as she gets to her feet but this time she catches him in mid air much to the astonishment of the crowd and Preston Drake himself. Hamilton then hits her one winged angel move that she calls Zeus's Wrath! Hamilton then drags Drake up even though he’s practically out of it, she performs her finisher Atlas Shrugged! Hamilton makes the pin and gets the three count.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall.. SAMANTHA ‘THE TITANESS’ HAMILTON....
Duggan: What a display of strength by Hamilton there at the end of the match to turn things in her favor!
Loydson: Exactly! Hamilton has been a roll as of late and Preston did his best to give her a good fight but in the end the Titaness came... saw... and conquered.
Martinez: She did that! I’m sure Preston Drake will live to fight another day though, he’s too talented not to.
Duggan: Ok folks we’re gonna go to a commercial break but coming up next we’ve got an anticipated match up between Iggy Swango and Phoenix Winterborn. Don’t go anywhere!!!
MATCH #4
WINTERBORN Vs SWANGO
(Singles Bout, 25 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Duggan: Welcome back to Friday Night Rampage! We are coming off of a good match between Samantha Hamilton and Preston Drake, one in which The Titaness took care of business.
Martinez: She sure put a clinic on moments ago. But next, we've got another great one coming at you.
Loydson: Phoenix Winterborn is about to feel the wrath of Iggy Swango! America's Most Hated always has it in the bag, kid!
Duggan: Pierce Patterson is in the ring and Emmanuelle Chriqui is ready to get it started!
Chriqui: The following match-up is scheduled for one fall!
Pyros hit as the opening to "Robot Rock" by Daft Punk begins to play, as Phoenix steps out onto the stage, his head dipped down for the opening guitar riffs, and his hood pulled up on his head. Upon the high guitar, Phoenix stands straight up, throwing the hood back and revealing himself to the crowd to a round of cheers.
Chriqui: Introducing first... From the Windy City of Chicago, Illinois and weighing in at two hundred and twenty eight pounds... he is CHI-TOWN'S FIIIIINEST....PHOENIX WINTTTTTERBORNNNN!
Making his way down the ramp, his arms are outstretched as he walks backwards, taking in the moment before sliding face up into the ring to run of the opposite corner, and climbs onto the second rope, slapping his chest to get the crowd fired up while his music slowly fades out.
Duggan: Guys, these two competitors specifically asked for this match.
Martinez: And AC Delaney quickly obliged.
Duggan: With Iggy Swango being one-half of the EWC Tag Team Champions, this might be an uphill battle for Phoenix Winterborn.
"White Sister" by Toto hits the arena as the lights dim low before strobing between red and the pitch blackness of the arena. Just as the loud guitar riffs echo throughout the arena the lights starts pulsing red and Iggy Swango is set to emerge, we notice that the ramp remains empty.
Duggan: And here comes Iggy Swango.
After a few more riffs, Iggy Swango remains unseen.
Duggan: Uh... here comes Iggy Swango.
Martinez: Hang on, Grizzly. I'm getting word in my headset that we need to cut to the back.
We cut to the back to see Iggy Swango laying on the floor of her locker room. She's laughing hysterically, though, as we see Jeff Noon pop into the shot.
Noon: Iggy. It's time for your ma... are you drunk?
Iggy remains laughing as she grabs a red solo cup next to her and attempts to tip it into her mouth. A few drops of piña colada spill out onto her chin. Noon looks around Iggy and sees another four empty cups.
Noon: Iggy! How many piña coladas have you had?!
Swango: One colada, two colada... five? six?
Iggy begins laughing once more. Suddenly, there's a bang on the door.
Voice: Ms. Swango! You're up!
Noon huffs and stands up. He runs his hand through his hair and thinks.
Noon: Okay, Iggy. You've left me no choice.
Noon rushes the cameraman out and we return to ringside.
Duggan: Well, I don't think we are about to have a match, guys.
Martinez: That is insanely unprofessional of Iggy Swango.
Loydson: I think it's hilarious, kid! Iggy Swango has every right to...
"Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazarus begins playing and the arena turns to the entrance ramp in confusion.
Loydson: What the hell is that?
Martinez: I have no earthly idea. It sounds like a bad eighties song.
Duggan: I can confirm that I have never heard this music before. And even if I have, I don't remember hearing it.
Loydson: Too many concussions.
As Loydson says this, the lyrics "GOOOODBYYYE HOOOORSES" begin blaring. A figure pops out onto the stage.
Duggan: My God. It's Jeff Noon.
Loydson: The best manager in the EWC today!
Martinez: Is he still even a manager? Rob Garcia has been gone for like nine months!
Loydson: Do you pay any attention? He manages America's Most Hated!
Martinez: If you say so.
Chriqui: And his opponent... weighing one hundred and forty-five pounds... JEFF NOOOON!
Jeff Noon makes his way slowly to the ring in his quick change of ring attire. He hadn't even gotten his t-shirt on yet when he emerged from the curtain. He tosses it aside and slowly crawls into the ring. Winterborn begins laughing as "Goodbye Horses" fades out and Pierce Patterson calls for the bell.
Duggan: O..kay. I guess we've got Phoenix Winterborn against Jeff Noon here tonight.
DING DING DING
Winterborn made a run at Noon, to which Noon ducked under the ropes to cower away from him. Patterson stepped in between the two as Winterborn gave Noon a smirk. Noon got back into the ring and circled the wagons. Winterborn then finally got ahold of Noon and layed a right hand to the side of the head. Noon grabbed his eye and backed up into the corner yelling at the referee.
Noon: His fingernail cut my eye! Disqualify him!
The referee argued back, explaining that the shot landed nowhere near his eye. He also pointed out that Noon was wearing protective eyewear. Noon gritted his teeth and walked out of the corner.
Duggan: This match won't last long.
Martinez: This whole charade is a joke, guys.
Loydson: Winterborn needs to be more careful. Those eyes of Jeff Noon are precious goods!
Noon tried to lock up with Winterborn. Winterborn allowed Noon to put him in a side-headlock. As Noon roared triumphantly, Winterborn smirked and picked Noon up, dropping him with a side suplex. Noon's head bounced off of the mat as Winterborn stood up to his feet. Winterborn dragged Noon over towards the corner and stepped on his stomach en route to the turnbuckles. He climbed up to the top and leaped off, drilling Noon with the Flight of the Phoenix. He stayed on top for the three count and a victory.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Here is your winner at one minute and forty seconds via pinfall... Phoenix Winterborn!
Duggan: Well, as we expected, Phoenix Winterborn walks away the winner.
Martinez: I hope we can see a match between a sober Iggy Swango and Phoenix Winterborn sometime soon.
Loydson: I cannot believe that Jeff Noon lost that match!
The camera flashes up to the MacTron, where we see AC Delaney, a stern look on her face.
AC Delaney: Ladies and gentlemen, FN'R management will not tolerate unprofessional behavior. I have talked with Jim Connors on the phone and he agreed with me on this stance. Iggy Swango has been suspended, without pay, for the rest of 2019. She will still be expected to show up and defend her tag title come WrestleFest, but other than that, you won't be seeing Iggy around. Hopefully she learns her lesson about drinking on the job. Thank you all, I hope you have a good night.
Duggan: That is huge news! Iggy has been suspended without pay!
Loydson: If she's looking to make a quick buck, I'm here.
Martinez: You are disgusting.
Phoenix Winterborn was livid. After the news of Iggy Swango broke, he was beside himself. Finding the nearest camera backstage, he started pacing in front of it, his hand making various gestures.
PHOENIX WINTERBORN: Iggy Swango. How could you? HOW DARE YOU! You disrespectful son of a…" He paused, stopping himself. "Unprofessional. Disrespectful.You couldn't take this seriously could you? You thought SO LITTLE of me that you decided to just get drunk off your ass instead of face me like the competitor you CLAIM to be! That kid out there didn't deserve what happened to him. That should've been you, but nooo…the great and powerful Iggy Swango decided she wanted to look at the world through the bottom of a bottle instead. Words cannot put into place how extremely LIVID I am right now at you! I hope you sober up by the time WrestleFest comes around, but then again, if THIS is how you treat your matches, maybe Lunch Time would be the better champions. Sober up, kid. You're gonna need it. Once you decide you actually wanna face me, you had better be ready to put those belts on the line against me and Matsuda. Bank on that.
He started to walk off, but came back into frame.
PHOENIX WINTERBORN: Disrespectful bitch."
MATCH #5
BULLET HELL Vs DAMAGE INC
(Tag Team Bout, 25 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: up next, tag team action!
Loydson: Damage Inc Vs Bullet Hell, should be a boring affair to be frank.
Martinez: Oh Phil, calm down.
Duggan: We head over to Emmanuella.
Chriqui: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall and has a 25 minute time limit Introducing first standing a combined weight of 725 pounds… DAMAGE INC!
Flames explode to either side of the stage. The lights come up on Sinestro Sinister who is standing with his tattooed back to the crowd, his arms outstretched in a crucifix pose. Seek and Destroy by Metallica begins to roar through the arena. The lights flash and Sinister turns to face the people. Lacey Savage walks from the back holding Sinister's suit jacket, which she slips over his arms. The light pulses like lightning and Lacey Savage pulls up a skull bandanna to cover her lower face. When the lightning pulses again a 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 and they all come to stand behind Sinestro. With a nod of the head from Sinister the group begins 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 getting ready for a war. From his place at ringside Sinestro eyes the competition with a steely, almost satanic, stare. Malice holds the ropes open for Lacey and she joins Sinister out on the floor where the pair begin to conspire against their common enemy.
Duggan: Damage Inc are looking fired up here tonight.
Loydson: Duggan, you say that often.
Martinez: Because everyone is fired up!
Duggan: Hell yea.
Chriqui: Their opponent, standing at a combined weight of 350 pounds… 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.
DING DING DING
The much larger Damage Inc take control of this one early on in the match. Malice and Mayhem keep LEO in their corner while they stomp a mudhole in it and trade off before jabs. Malice and Mayhem send LEO into the ropes before catching him with a total elimination. Malice drags LEO up and puts him on his shoulders before Mayhem leaps into a stiff clothesline. Kid comes in and sends Malice over the top rope. Kid and LEO double team Mayhem and deliver a stiff double DDT, they drag him up and hit a double flapjack! Mayhem gets up and walks into a double dropkick! Our ref gets Kid out of the ring. Malice rolls in behind LEO and yanks his legs pulling him into a wheelbarrow position. Mayhem sees the plan and quickly leaps onto LEO with a leg drop! Malice turns it into a reverse bama slam while Mayhem takes out Kid. Malice makes the cover!

Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, in five minutes... DAMAGE INC!
Duggan: Big win for Damage Inc, taking out the MNB team.
Loydson: Damage Inc had 300+ pounds on Bullet Hell, was no doubt.
Martinez: Bullet Hell got in some good offense, but Damage Inc had the gameplan..
Duggan: That they did. We will be back after this commercial break.
MATCH #6
BYRD Vs GAUTIER
(None Title Singles Bout, 30 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Martinez: Welcome back to Friday Night Rampage!
Duggan: Coming up next, we have Brawl's heavy-hitter Clay Byrd taking on the EWC North American Champion, Kyle Gautier!
Loydson: I think you mean Guile Koshay!
Martinez: Are you... are you serious?
Loydson: No, I am not, kid. Keep up. I know who Kyle Gautier is!
Chriqui: The following non-title contest is scheduled for one fall!
Guitar and harmonica begin to blare through the arena, the start of Gunning For You sends a silence across the crowd as Nick Nolan's lyrics echo through the arena. The state of Texas appears on the screen, and slowly fades into a highlight video.
My Gun is loaded it's getting time
Two shots of whiskey i'm takin' what's mine
Ain't what you're sayin it's what you do
Your time has come boy i'm Gunnin for You
When hell is rainin down you'll see my face won't heara sound
You'll feel that bullet burnin through
Take your last breath boy
I'm Gunnin for You
Clayton Byrd steps from the back, clad in his fathers leather vest and with red tights. His right arm is raised in the air, his fist clenched at it's apex. Clay begins his slow walk down the ramp. His eyes are fixed on the ring, and he trudges on. Not paying any notice to any of the fans in attendance.
There's desperation deep in your eyes
No turnin back now no compromise
Cause only one of us walks out that door
The other bleedin out on the floor
Chriqui: Introducing first... from Plainview, Texas... weighing in at two hundred and ninety-five pounds... CLAAAAAY BYYYYRD!
Clay walks up the steps, and climbs into the ring.
Duggan: Clay Byrd returned with a bang almost two weeks ago on Monday Night Brawl when he defeated Darius.
Martinez: This guy scares the crap out of me. He's big and violent. Poor Kyle Gautier may be biting off more than he can choose.
Loydson: You going to go piss your pants in the corner, now?
As Martinez ignores that, purple lights bathe the entrance ramp. As 'The Man' starts to play, a bit of fog billows out from backstage. After a few moments, Kyle Gautier has yet to come out from the back.
Duggan: Now what? Is Kyle Gautier drunk, too?
Martinez: I sure hope not. This is turning into an issue here. I mean...
Suddenly, Kyle Gautier bursts out from the back with no ring gear on and a rolling luggage bag in tow. He stares down at his watch and slides into the ring. As he sits there huffing and puffing, he looks at Emmanuelle Chriqui and says something we catch on the microphone.
Gautier: I caught the wrong train to Daly City. I'm here.
Chriqui: And his opponent, from Mobile, Alabama... weighing in at one hundred and ninety-five pounds... he is the EWC North American Champion... KYLE GAUUUTIER!
Duggan: Well, it sounds like Kyle might have forgotten he was on Rampage tonight.
Martinez: Or, at least, he remembered when it was almost too late.
DING DING DING
Before Gautier could even get settled in, Clay Byrd was on him like a fly on shit. He drove right knee into the side of Kyle's face as Kyle tried to get his peacoat off. Byrd ripped the peacoat out of Kyle's hands and wrapped it tightly around Gautier's throat. As the referee administered a five count, Byrd clamped down as long as he possibly could. Just before Mike Michaelson was set to disqualify Byrd, Clay released the peacoat. He grabbed Gautier by the right hand and yanked Kyle's driving glove off. He smacked Kyle right in the face with the leather back-side. Kyle rolled out of the ring to recover, finally, and Byrd raised his arms in the ring to a loud chorus of boos.
Duggan: Kyle Gautier definitely was not ready for this match.
Loydson: Against Clay Byrd? I don't know that he was ever going to be ready tonight!
Kyle finally removed his left driving glove and rolled back into the ring at a count of five. As he got to his feet, Byrd went for the West Texas Lariat. Gautier ducked and kicked Byrd in the gut. He then drove Byrd down with a DDT and covered.
ONE!

TWO!!

KICKOUT!
Byrd got off of the mat and Gautier ran off the ropes. He returned and went for a front dropkick to Clay Byrd. Byrd, however, caught Gautier in mid-air and drilled him into the mat with a thunderous powerbomb. Byrd pulled Gautier up to his feet, ran off of the ropes behind Gautier, sprints across the ring and bounced off of the ropes once more, and then laid Gautier out with the West Texas Lariat, somersaulting him and turning him inside out. He covered Gautier, but pulled Kyle's head up off of the mat after a two-count.
Duggan: It appears that Clay Byrd is not yet done.
Martinez: Now he's just toying with Kyle Gautier!
Byrd stood Gautier up one more time, who could barely stay on his feet. Byrd backed up and bounced off of the ropes once more and, again, laid Gautier out with a West Texas Lariat. He lazily covered Gautier and got a three count win.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Here is your winner... CLAY BYRD!
Duggan: Like I said, there wasn't much of a chance for Kyle Gautier, there. He came straight off of an airplane and into the arena.
Martinez: The man didn't even have time to change or leave his luggage behind in the locker room!
Loydson: That was a perfect match!
The feed cuts to Vivint Smart Home Arena’s Sky Level Fan Zone, and the crowd cheers as United States Champion Ace King stands there, clad in a black leather jacket as he clasps his championship tightly as it adorns his left shoulder, a microphone in his other hand.
Ace King: If there’s one thing I’ve learned being in this business as long as I have, it’s knowing how to pick your spots and maximize your opportunities… and when to be a setup man.
The United States Champion speaks in a gravelly tone as he unzips his jacket and discards it; the crowd erupts as they see he’s wearing a vintage purple John Stockton Utah Jazz jersey underneath.
Ace King: See, I’ll have my opportunity to take out Scorpio once we get to WrestleFest in France, the home of your very own Stifle Tower…
The reference to Jazz big man Rudy Gobert gets a cheap pop from the local fans, prompting a nod from ‘The Gambler’ as he clears his throat.
Ace King: I’ll have my chance then, but if anyone’s expecting any kind of one-upsmanship between myself and my partner, the Undisputed and International Champion Cyrus Black…
Again, Ace is forced to pause with cheers of ‘CY-RUS! CY-RUS! CY-RUS!’ fill the building; ‘The Gambler’ raises an eyebrow, but nods along.
Ace King: Well, at least from my side of things, they’re going to be left wanting. Tonight, he’s my Karl Malone, and I know he sees tonight as an opportunity to inflict a little punishment… But regardless of anything personal festering under the surface on either side, everybody knows ‘The Mailman’ was always at his best when he had a capable running mate by his side.
The crowd cheers again as Ace uncharacteristically pops his Stockton jersey, pausing to rub the last remnants of the bruises adorning his neck.
Ace King: It alleviates some of the pressure, because if, for whatever reason, he should falter? Whether it’s Scorpio or Stephanie Matsuda standing in the way... Just like the great John Stockton, I’m more than capable of stepping in and picking them both apart if the situation calls for it. See, Scorpio may have tried to silence me with Vidal last time around, but tonight? I'm more than ready to make myself heard, so TAKE NOTE...
The crowd cheers once more as the United States Champion's nostrils flare, his eyes narrowing as he looks out.
Ace King: ...I'm ready for a goddamn fight.
With that, the United States Champion drops his mic and takes his leave from the Sky Level Fan Zone, with fans cheering boisterously in his wake as we cut to...
MATCH #7
MALONE Vs NERO Vs THE ANIMAL
(Triple Threat Bout, 30 Minute Time Limit)
(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)
Duggan: And now we will keep on rolling as we have come to our penultimate match of the night! We’ve got some triple threat action in store for you as the Queen of the EWC, one half of the tag team champions and number one contender to the Undisputed championship Melody Malone takes on one of the newest members to the EWC roster Augustus Nero and a man who has been on a roll recently the Animal Samuel McPherson!
Loydson: I believe the last time we saw Samuel McPherson was at Youngblood when he scored a victory on Tanja Devereaux! This is a big match for him in terms of pushing up that ladder. Same goes for Augustus Nero! Now I like Melody Malone despite her taste in men, but she’s walking into the land of giants here tonight!
Martinez: I actually agree with you Philip. Both Samuel and Augustus are six foot six. Almost a foot bigger than Malone!
Duggan: That’s true but let’s be honest, If we’ve learned anything from the last few months it’s that you cannot underestimate the Queen! If you do.. you might lose your head!!
Chriqui: The following match is a triple threat and it is scheduled for one fall Introducing first, from San Diego.. California...,Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Vanessa… she is the QUEEN of EWC… and one half of the EWC TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS... MELODY MALONE!!!!!
”You should see me in a crown' (IIZI Remix) by Billie Eilish blasts out from the PA system as Melody Malone comes down to the ring.
Chrqui: Her opponent, Introducing from Montego Bay, Jamaica standing at 6'6, Weighing at a massive two hundred and sixty eight pounds this is your Last True King...AUGUSTUS NERO!!!
The beginning instruments of Put Ya Hands Up and it's 808’s blasted throughout the arena as Augustus Nero makes his way down to the ring.
Chrqui: And there opponent.... weighing in at 280 pounds... From Las Vegas, Nevada, he is The Animal, SAMUEL MCPHERSON!!!!!!
DING DING DING
As the bell rings there’s a stand off between the three when suddenly Malone comes rushing towards Nero, taking him by surprise as she leaps in the air and smashes him across the jaw with a Enziguri. As Nero falls back against the ropes Malone turns just in time to see McPherson coming at her. Just as McPherson is about to grab onto her she slides underneath his legs and comes up behind him. Malone leaps onto the ropes and jumps towards McPherson, grabbing onto his head she brings him down to the mat with a springboard bulldog.
Malone turns around just in time to see Nero’s big hand grab her across the throat, he lifts her high in the air and moves towards the ring ropes. Nero chokeslams Malone over the top rope, her body crashing to the outside floor with a sickening thud. Nero then picks McPherson up and whips him off of the ropes but McPherson rushes back towards him and hits a spear. McPherson makes the pin on Nero but he kicks out at two.
Duggan: What a fast paced start to this match! Melody Malone despite her size was seizing the moment against the bigger men and then Nero went and dumped her on the outside with a chokeslam.
Loydson: Yeh Melody is laying out here in front of us and she looks hurt.
Martinez: Lets not forget that Samuel McPherson nearly ended the match early with that spear!
McPherson picks Nero up and tries for a powerbomb but Nero instead uses his strength to back body drop McPherson. As McPherson gets to his feet Nero comes at him with his Cardiac Accident chops across McPhersons chest. Nero rushes off of the ropes and comes back at McPherson, hitting his running lariat move he calls crossover, taking McPherson off of his feet in the process. Nero covers McPherson for the pin but just when it looks like he might get the three count Malone comes from nowhere, using the ropes to perform a springboard moonsault into the ring as she lands on Nero and McPherson, breaking up the pin.
Malone is up to her feet and she sprints off of the ring ropes and back towards her opponents but Nero gets up just in the time and he again catches Malone by the throat, attempting to lift her up for another chokeslam but this time she knees him in the stomach causing him to drop her back to her feet. Malone leaps back into the air, grabbing onto Nero’s head she hits him with her double knee facebreaker move she calls Crowning Achievement! Malone covers Nero but McPherson manages to break the pin up at the two and half count.
Duggan: I’m out of breath just watching this match!!!
Loydson: Maybe you need to lay off the mince pies then Grizzly. It’s not Christmas yet.
McPherson grabs a hold of Malone by the hair and picks her up off her feet, he holds her up and takes a few steps before planting her back onto the mat with a powerslam. McPherson turns around as Nero gets to his feet and the two men start to trade back and forth stiff shots to the body and face. McPherson suddenly picks Nero up and spins him around, bringing him down onto the mat with a tombstone piledriver. McPherson makes the pin but Nero kicks out at two and half.
McPherson is irritated now as he mounts Nero and starts to lay into him with some vicious looking forearm shots to the face. Nero manages to push McPherson off of him as both men get to there feet. Malone meanwhile has rolled over to the ring ropes to catch her breath. McPherson grabs a hold of Nero and after two nasty head butts he lifts Nero up and hits his vertabreaker finisher he calls The Animal Kill. At the same time Malone leaps to the top rope and as McPherson gets to his feet she leaps towards him, grabbing a hold of his head she brings him down to the mat with her finisher Off With Their Head!! Malone makes the pin and gets the win.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, pinfall, MELODY MALONE!!!!
Duggan: Melody Malone once again showing how good she really is in that ring with yet another impressive victory against two talented opponents.
Loydson: If only she didn’t associate herself with a clown.
Martinez: That’s no way to talk about Jeff Noon.
Loydson: I wasn’t... oh never mind. Anyway I’m sure Samuel McPherson and Augustus Nero will bounce back from this. There’s not many people who can match up to those two behemoths in the EWC.
Duggan: Congratulations to Melody Malone as she charges full steam ahead into Wrestlefest! Now up next it’s Ace King... Its Cyrus Black... it’s Scorpio.. it’s Stephanie Matsuda... which means it’s main event time! Do not go anywhere!
SCORPIO AND MATSUDA Vs BLACK AND KING
(Tag Team Bout, No Time Limit)
(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)
Duggan: It’s main event time! You ready for this? The Undisputed and International champion Cyrus Black is in the house and he’s teaming up with our very own Rampage legend the United States Champion Ace King.
Loydson: I can’t believe we keep letting that idiot back onto Rampage. Anyway they’ll be going up against the baddest bitch in the EWC and number one contender to Ace King’s United States Championship.. Scorpio and the X-Division champion herself Stephanie Matsuda straight off of her controversial title defense against Xavier Reid on Brawl. I feel like there might be a riot in the building tonight.
Martinez: There always is when Scorpio is around these days. Things have escalated to boiling point between him and Ace King! Last time out on Rampage King suffered a brutal assault at the hands of Scorpio!
Duggan: Yes but then on the latest edition of Brawl Ace King got a measure of revenge when he disguised himself as Scropio’s confidant Crème de la Crème and attacked the former tag team champion! Ace King donned a wig and a dress just to get his hands on Scorpio and he also laid out Crème, so you know that King is done playing games with Scorpio. You have to wonder what’s going to happen tonight when these two meet in the ring once again!
Chriqui: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall Introducing first from London, England, weighing in at 205 lbs...and being accomplished to the ring by Crème de la Crème... 'The S-Factor'... 'The People's Camp'... SCORPIOOOOO!!!
'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 a loud cheer goes up around the arena as Crème de la Crème, Scorpio's drag queen confidant and manager comes onto the stage in a wheelchair with a neck brace on and a cast on her leg. The fans are loving every minute of this as loud chants starts up.
Thank you Ace...
Thank you Ace...
Thank you Ace...
Thank you Ace...
Thank you Ace...
Loydson: Listen to these fans! That’s an injured women right there on stage all thanks to that animal Ace King and these Salt Lake City losers are reveling in her pain and misery!
Martinez: Um... I don’t think Crème needs that wheelchair, I’m sure I saw her and Scorpio backstage earlier and she didn’t look that bad.
Loydson: You sit on a throne of lies Javier! Everyone is out to get Scorpio! Management, the entire roster and even these fans. I feel sickened just listening to them.
Scorpio looks around the crowd in disgust as Crème holds her neck looking severely pissed off 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 as Crème wheels herself down the ramp to catch up with him. Scorpio climbs up one set of steps and climbs through the ropes. 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.
Chrqui: His partner, Making her way to the ring! Being accompanied by Monica Vaughan! From Brooklyn, NY! Weighing in at 132lbs, she is the EWC X-DIVISION CHAMPION... “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.
Chrqui: And now Introducing there opponents...
"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 Vivint Smart Home Arena. As the drums kick in, pyro goes off up and down the ramp in time with the beat, while frenetic red and gold spotlights pulse through the building before fixating on the ramp.
Chrqui: Making his way to the ring first, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He is the EWC United States Championnnnnnn....... 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 Scorpio.
Chrqui: And his partner... from Carson City, Nevada... weighing in at 230 pounds... he is the EWC Undisputed and International champion.... CYRUS BLACKKKKKK!!!
The arena is filled with complete darkness for a moment then suddenly bright colorful lights burst from the entrance ramp and “You've Got a Friend in Me” by Randy Newman starts to play.
Duggan: Cyrus did tease a special entrance for tonight! This must be it!
A image appears on the big screen above the stage as the fans let out a loud cheer.
Loydson: Ohhh what sweet hell is this.
Martinez: That is some of the worst photo editing I’ve ever seen.
The arena erupts in even louder cheers as Cyrus Black comes out onto the stage dressed in a cowboy outfit complete with boots, a cowboy hat and a mic in his hand. After a moment of soaking up the atmosphere Cyrus swaggers down the ramp like John Wayne as he begins to sing along to the song but changing the words as he goes.
Black: You got a friend in me... Ace Kiiinnnggg... You've got a friend in me... come on sing along now Salt Lake Ciittyyyyyyy.... When the road looks rough ahead... And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed... Come on now Stephanie sing along along....
The entire arena is up on there feet singing along and clapping there hands as Cyrus reaches the ring and points at Stephanie Matsuda as she tries her hardest to keep her composure and not laugh. The camera zooms in on Ace King who’s at the other side of the ring looking speechless.
Black: You just remember what your old pal said... ACE KINGGGGG... you got a friend in me... come on Crème sing with me... you got a friend in me!!!
As Cyrus walks by Crème, he grabs onto her wheelchair and spins her around. You can hear Scorpio going crazy at the referee as Cyrus Black nears the side of the ring that Ace King is at.
Duggan: Is this some kind of plug by AC Delaney for the new Disney plus streaming service? I’m confused. I hope we don’t get sued. I don’t know if President Mac has the dolla dolla to fight off Bob Iger!!!
Loydson: There’s nothing to be confused about! Cyrus Black is an idiot!!! This is your Undisputed champion folks! This is who represents this company. What a absolute joke of a man!! What does Melody Malone see in him? He’s dressed like a five year old at a birthday party!!!
Martinez: I kinda like it and these fans seem to love it. Although I’m not sure that Ace and Cyrus are the Buzz and Woody of the EWC quite yet.... oh boy I think Scorpio has heard enough!!!
Cyrus is so preoccupied with singing the rest of the song to Ace King that he doesn’t see Scorpio slide out of the ring. The S-Factor smashes into the side of Black’s head with his forearm causing the Undisputed champ to fall to the floor. Scorpio grabs Cyrus by the hair and after shouting abuse in his face, he whips him hard and sends him crashing over the barricade and into the time keepers area. At this point King jumps down from the ring apron and comes after Scorpio who quickly slides back in under the bottom rope. King comes in after him and Scorpio starts to lay into him with some viscous kicks to the head. The ref calls for the bell to begin the match.
DING DING DING
Scorpio runs off of the ropes and back at King, grabbing his neck and going for a corkscrew neck-breaker but King expertly twists out of the hold, keeping on his feet as Scorpio falls onto the mat back first. King performs a standing moonsault landing straight onto Scorpios mid rift.
King then quickly gets to his feet bringing Scorpio with him, he lifts the S-Factor up off of his feet and sends him crashing back into the mat with a sitout gutwrench powerbomb. King hooks Scorpios leg for the pin...

TWO... Scorpio gets a shoulder up, then he lashes a wild kick towards King catching him in the face and stunning him. Scorpio crawls over to the ring ropes, pulling himself to his feet he reaches over and slaps Matsuda on the shoulder before ordering her into the ring. Matsuda stares a hole through Scorpio as she slowly steps through the ropes.
Duggan: Matsuda looked like she wanted to knock Scorpios head right off of his shoulders there.
Loydson: Oh yeh you’d all just love that. Matsuda should’ve been in the ring to break up that pin attempt earlier. No wonder Scorpio looks irritated, it’s like a three on one match out there.
Martinez: Oh behave Philip. You’re stirring the pot now! Anyway we are getting treated now to sort of a rematch from our last rampage main event between Ace King and Matsuda! They put on an absolute classic in Anaheim and they are about to do the same here.
King is on his feet and ready to lock up with Matsuda when from nowhere Scorpio sneaks back into the ring and springs forward, catching King on the side of the face with a super kick. Scorpio shouts in Matsuda’s face “PIN THE PRI*K”. Scorpio then turns as the ref ushers him back to his corner when all a sudden Matsuda grabs a hold of him and spins him around to face her. The crowd are on there feet and chanting Matsuda’s name as she gets in Scorpios face and they go head to head.
Loydson: This is disgusting behavior by Stephanie Matsuda! She’s trying to cost Scorpio the match!!
Martinez: Are you serious? Scorpio has been treating her like a piece of crap since the start of the match and quite rightly so Matsuda is sick of it!
The referee has to get in between Scorpio and Matsuda as they continue to argue. Matsuda finally turns around as King is getting back on his feet though still looking dazed from the super kick.
Matsuda comes at King quickly, kneeing him in the stomach and then planting him on the mat with a Saito suplex. King immediately tries to get back to his feet but Matsuda is on him again, catching him with some stiff kicks to his legs and then the side of his body. Matsuda then grabs a hold of King and hits an Arm-trapped Inverted Overdrive that she calls trigger warning. Matsuda doesn’t waste any time as she climbs to the top turnbuckle and looks to be going for a 450 splash on King but just before she jumps Cyrus leaps onto the ring apron then using the ring ropes as leverage he jumps in the air and catches Matsuda with an Enziguri to the head. Matsuda wobbles on the top for moment before falling straight back into the ring.
Loydson: Oh look who it is, Clint Eastwood’s weirdo cousin is back.
King is getting back to his feet now as Black leans over the ropes and reaches his hand out. Ace slowly makes his way over to his corner ready to make the tag when Scorpio sneaks into the ring and comes rushing across as he looks to attack King from behind. This time though King senses the danger and he steps to the side dodging Scropio who ends up running straight into the corner.
As Scorpio turns around King catches him with a hard European uppercut the jaw. King then tags Black in before he pulls Scorpio from the corner and lifts him high in the air with a suplex position. King keeps Scorpio held up vertically as Black drops to one knee. King then drops Scorpio neck first onto Black’s knee. Even the crowd gasp at that nasty landing.
Duggan: Ouch! Did you hear the sickening thud there as King dropped Scorpio right onto Cyrus Blacks knee. That was uncomfortable to watch.
As Scorpio rolls out of the ring holding his neck, Black turns around just in time to see Matsuda flying towards him with her springboard forearm smash move that she calls Final Heaven! She connects with the move perfectly as Black crumples to the floor. Matsuda makes the pin...

TH....King comes into the ring and kicks Matsuda in the head breaking up the pin. The ref ushers King back to his corner, Matsuda gets to her feet and takes a moment to compose herself before jumping onto the ropes and flipping backwards for a moonsault, trying to land on Black but he rolls out of the way and Matsuda hits the mat. Before she has anytime to get back to her feet Black wraps his arms around her neck and pulls her into a bow and arrow choke hold.
Martinez: Black has the chokehold locked in! This is where he’s dangerous, Stephanie Matsuda could be in trouble.
Matsuda looks like she’s struggling to breath as Black keeps a tight grip of the submission hold. Just as it looks like she’s staring to lose consciousness Scorpio leaps onto the ring apron. Black sees Scorpio coming and he lets go of the chokehold and scrambles to his feet, as he does this Scorpio leaps over the top rope and grabs a hold of Blacks head planting him onto the mat with the AGR!!!
Martinez: Scorpio hitting that AGR from nowhere! You forget how talented a wrestler this guy really is because of his shenanigans!
Loydson: I didn’t forget.
Scorpio reluctantly makes his way back to his corner as Black is laid out cold in the middle of the ring. Matsuda can’t capitalize on the situation though as she’s only semi-conscious after the chokehold.
King and Scorpio are both leaning against the ropes urging there partners to make the tag. Matsuda is first to move as she slowly crawls over to her corner. Black rolls onto his stomach and lifts his head up to see King stretching his arm out towards him. Matsuda is at her corner now as she reaches to make the tag. Black starts to crawl towards King, reaching his hand out as there fingertips are inches away from each other... but no! Scorpio flies across the ring and drop kicks King off of the apron. Scorpio then sprints off of the ropes just as Black pulls himself to his feet. Scorpio comes back at back and hits him with his lariat move he calls the Glitterazi taking Black off of his feet!! Scorpio scrambles on top of Black and makes the pin...

Duggan: Damn I thought it was over there!!! Ace King saving the match for his team.
Scorpio is in the referees face now screaming at him that it was a three count. The referee tries to protest but Scorpio isn’t listening as repeatedly shouts “YOU SCREWED ME” at him. Scorpio turns just in time to see Black pull himself up to his feet. Scorpio runs towards him but Black bounces off of the ropes and catches Scorpio with a shining wizard! Black still looks a bit dazed but just as Scorpio tries to get back to his feet Black dives across the ring and makes the tag to King!!! The fans are on there feet now as King springs into the ring and starts to unload rapid kicks and punches to every part of Scorpios body.
Scorpio tries to swing an arm towards King but he ducks it and comes up spinning around and clocking Scropio in the head with his Full House II move. King makes the pin...

TWO.... Matsuda is in the ring and she pulls King off of Scropio breaking up the pin. Some of the fans don’t like this and they boo but Matsuda just shrugs her shoulders as she makes her way back to her corner. King gets to his feet as Scorpio starts to come around.
King bursts into a sprint but as he bounces off of the ropes Crème suddenly springs up from her wheelchair and reaches into the ring, grabbing a hold of Kings foot and tripping him up. Crème quickly sits back down on the wheelchair as King turns and glares at Crème who pretends like she’s done nothing wrong.
Martinez: Crème better watch herself! The last time she got in Ace King’s way she paid the price!
Loydson: Excuse me! That’s not funny! Crème could be paralyzed from the waist down because of Ace King’s dirty attack on her!
Martinez: Philip... we literally just saw Crème stand up.
King is still growling at Crème as he gets to his feet when Scorpio flies towards him, grabbing him and hitting his springboard DDT Lipsync For Your Legacy! Scorpio makes the pin...

THR... King gets a shoulder up! Scorpio sees red as he clambers to his feet and grabs the referee by the scruff of the neck. This gives King enough time to leap towards his corner and tag in Black. Scorpio quickly does the same and tags in Matsuda. Matsuda and Black charge at each other in the ring, trading blow for blow stiff kicks and punches.
Duggan: I have to say what a match this had been! Yet another classic for Rampage... wait... where is Scorpio going?
As Black and Matsuda continue to beat the hell out of each other with chops and forearm smashes Scorpio makes his way around the ring to the time keepers area. As Scorpio grabs a hold of the United States Championship belt Crème seems to read his mind, she gets up from her wheelchair and tries to pull herself into the ring, shouting at the top of her lungs to catch the referees attention.
As the ref deals with Crème on the other side of the ring Scorpio slides in with the belt in hand. Scorpio swings the belt towards Blacks head but he ducks at the last second and Scorpio smacks Matsuda across the face with the belt!!! Scorpio stands stunned for a moment looking down at Matsuda who is out cold before King charges into the ring and tackles him to the floor. Scorpio and King trade blows on the mat as they roll out of the ring. The ref turns around just in time to see Black throw an arm across Matsuda for the pin...

Chriqui: And your winners, via pinfall... CYRUS BLACK and ACE KING!!!
Duggan: Cyrus Black and Ace King get the win after Scorpio inadvertently hit Matsuda with the U.S title belt... wait the action is not done folks because Scorpio and Ace King are still at it right here in front of us!!!
As Black rolls out of the ring and celebrates with the fans, Scorpio and Ace King are punching the living daylights out of each other at the announce table. Kings eye looks to be cut open and Scorpios nose is gushing of blood as they both look like there trying to kill each other. Suddenly AC Delaney appears at the top of the stage as he ushers security to come out quickly.
Multiple people from security to backstage staff to referees rush passed Delaney and down towards the ring.
Scorpio and King are pulled apart by everyone as the camera focuses on the announce team.
Martinez: This feud between Ace King and Scorpio has become so intense and dangerous. I shudder to think about what’s going to happen at Wrestlefest.
Duggan: If they even make it to Wrestlefest. We are just about out of time here folks but we will see you again for the Rampage season final... LOOK OUT! SHI-
The announce team drop there headsets and dive out of the way as King pushes passed security and tackles Scorpio straight over the announce table to the other side. The rampage logo appears on the screen as King and Scorpio continue to beat the life out of each other with EWC officials and security scrambling around the announce table to try and break them up. AC Delaney comes scrambling out. She helps break up Ace and Scorpio before yelling at both.
AC: STOP IT! What is wrong with you two? Acting like a bunch of children. You want to hurt each other? You want to get at each other? FINE. But you WILL wait until WrestleFest, and at WrestleFest you will be facing off in a two-out-falls match. But there's a twist. Each fall will be a different match! The first fall will be a normal match, the second fall will be no DQ and IF you make it to a third fall... Falls Count Anywhere. Now break it up and go home!
AC turns around and leaves. Ace and Scorpio stare at each other. Scorpio blows Ace a kiss as we fade to black.
