Duggan: Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am Grizzly Duggan joined by Phillip Loydson and Omar Martinez and we are bringing you another exciting episode of Friday Night Rampage! Tonight's episode is being topped off by THE rematch of the ages, Lavender Vs Cyrus Black in a non-title match. But one has to assume that Lavender might find herself in the path for a title match should she pin the champ tonight folks.
Loydson: But before that, my goddess Melody Malone is in action against that good for nothing Ace King.
Martinez: My goddess? Anyway, before that we have a major tag match. NSFW Vs Blue Phoenix for the first time!
Duggan: That's the top of the card, but the rest of the show is just as stacked. We have a fatal four way, a triple thread, FSW showcase and singles matches to boot!
Loydson: Sounds like the only thing that will keep me awake is the thought of Melody.
Duggan: You are a weird man.
Loydson: Love is weird Duggan, love is weird!
Martinez: Is it love if she doesn't even know you exist?
Duggan: God DAMN what a burn. We'll be back after a ward from our sponsors, if Phil doesn't cry his eyes out.

(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: Lets kick this finale off in style as we go over to the target store on Herald Square New York City for our first match of the night. It will be Tanja Devereaux against Augustus Nero against Hampton Drake inside the target store, and as we know on Black Friday anything goes!!!! The winner will receive a gold plated Xbox one X!
Loydson: Is this what A.C Delaney is getting paid the big bucks for? To come up with matches like this? I may need to put in a transfer to FSW or PRIME at this rate.
Martinez: Oh boy wouldn’t that be a Christmas miracle for everyone on Rampage?
Duggan: This is going to be a wild one! All three of these superstars could use a big win here tonight.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall Introducing first, hailing from New Orleans, Louisina; she is the Cajun Queen, TANJA DEVEREAUX!!!

’Put Ya Hands Up' by Jadakiss plays as Augustus Nero walks into the store.
DING DING DING
As the Black Friday shoppers surround them, only separated by security, the three competitors come at each other. Devereaux jumps onto Nero’s back and tries to choke him but Nero reaches his big arms behind his head, grabbing onto Devereauxs hair he launches her straight over the customer service counter and onto an unsuspecting target employee. Nero then comes after Drake who has grabbed a bottle of wine from a display. He opens the bottle, takes a swig of wine and spits it in Nero’s face. Then with Nero blinded, Drake smashes the wine bottle straight over his head.
Drake then opens another bottle of wine and downs half the bottle before he goes for a pin on Nero but at the two count Devereaux comes flying from the top off the customer service counter, she lands straight on top of Drake and Nero, breaking the pin in the process. Devereaux picks Drake up and runs him head first straight into a 60 inch widescreen TV. The screen cracks as it connects with Drakes head.
Loydson: This match is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Devereaux picks whatever she can find up to hit Drake with, including a ham and cheese baguette. She then picks up an old DVD case and stares at it for a moment, it reads ‘How to come cook the perfect Sausage’ by Dominic Sanders. Devereaux shrugs her shoulders before she smashes the DVD case across the back of Drake head. Devereaux is having so much fun that she doesn’t see Nero coming from behind her and he has a golf club, which he smashes against the back of Devereaux’s leg.
Devereaux falls back in pain as Nero turns her around and grabs her by the throat, carrying her over to the end of an aisle, he choke slams Devereaux straight through the roof of a dog kennel! Suddenly Drake comes running Nero with a shopping cart, smashing it into the side of Nero. Nero falls into the shopping cart in pain. Drake begins to run with the shopping cart again with Nero inside this time. Drake let’s the shopping cart go and it speeds straight towards a makeshift fish counter that’s been set up at the end of the aisle! The shoppers rush out of the way as Nero gasps in shock right before the cart hits the fish counter and Nero is thrown out and straight onto the counter which gives way under his weight. Nero is out cold with a trout on his face.
Martinez: I always knew there was something fishy about Augustus Nero
Drake makes his way towards Nero but he is stumbling around clearly drunk as a skunk when Devereaux comes from behind him, she got a large pair of women’s red frilly underwear, she wraps it around Drakes necks and pulls him to floor. Devereaux is choking Drake with the underwear when she sees Nero is getting to his feet.
As Nero comes at Devereaux when all of sudden two Black Friday shoppers get in his way, the two women are wrestling over a toaster oven and Nero is distracted by them when Devereaux suddenly comes from the side and hits Nero with a Roundhouse kick. Nero falls the to the floor as Drake is up and he turns towards Devereaux, but thinking fast she grabs the toaster oven from the two women and swings it at Drake as he comes at her. The toaster oven connects with Drakes jaw and he collapses onto of Nero out cold. Devereaux jumps on top of both men as a referee comes from nowhere and makes the count. Devereaux gets the win.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, TANJA DEVEREAUX!!!
Duggan: That was chaotic to say the least but Tanja Devereaux is our winner!
Loydson: I hope target around expecting the EWC to pay for everything these idiots broke tonight.
Martinez: I could use a new toaster oven.
Duggan: Same! We are going to a commercial break folks but up next it’s an all FSW showcase match!
Match #2
ANDERSON Vs NEZUMI
(20 Minute FSW Showcase Bout!)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Duggan: Now lets get back to reality after that target shop match. It’s an all FSW affair coming at you, as the rat king Nezumi takes on Allen Anderson.
Loydson: And the winner walks away with a hot wheels toy and a 250 dollar cheque... that’ll probably bounce knowing Delaney.
Martinez: It’s not about the prize for these two men! It’s about the glory!
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall Introducing first, from Harlem... New York, weighing in at 205 pounds... He is THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND: ALLEN ANDERSON!
'0-100' by Drake plays as Allen Anderson makes his way down to the ring.
Chrqui: His opponent, Making his way down to the ring, hailing from Shinsekai, Osaka, Japan, weighing in at a 201 pounds...he is the "Rat King"...NEZUMI!
'Anjelier' by MUCC as Nezumi makes his way down the ring.
DING DING DING
Anderson deals the first blow as the bell ring, kicking Nezumi in the gut before spinning back around and lifting him and planting him on the mat with a Pumphandle Gutbuster. Anderson then climbs up to the top turnbuckle and after composing himself he hits a 630 Senton on Nezumi. Anderson makes a pin but at the two and half count Nezumi gets a foot onto the bottle ring rope forcing the rope break.
Anderson lifts Nezumi up and whips him off of the ropes, Nezumi comes back at Anderson and hits him with a spinning wheel kick. Anderson stumbles off of the ring ropes and bounces back towards Nezumi who this time catches him with a back heel kick.
Duggan: Anderson and Nezumi are doing FSW proud here. The MSG crowd are loving the effort both men are putting in.
Nezumi picks Anderson up and despite the size difference he manages to lift him up and hit an Olympic slam on him. Nezmui makes the pin but Anderson kicks out.
Nezumi then drags Anderson over to the rope, taking him up to the top turnbuckle. Nezumi attempts a top rope suplex but Anderson inside hits an uppercut on Nezumi that stuns him. Anderson then leaps onto Nezmuis shoulders and brings him off of the top turnbuckle with a Top Rope Huricanrana. Anderson comes off of the turnbuckle and goes for a pin but Nezmui kicks out.
Martinez: Both Nezumi and Anderson are kicking out of everything!
As Nezumi pulls himself to his feet Anderson tries to catch him with a tiger feint kick but Nezumi dodges it and instead he jumps and connects with an enziguri to Anderson’s head. Nezumi then hits his TKO finisher he calls Unknown Matter. Nezumi pins and gets the win.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall... the rat king NEZUMI!!!
Duggan: Nezumi gets a win on the rampage finale. That’s a moment that will live with him forever m.
Loydson: Anderson was unlucky, I’m sure these two will battle next year on FSW.
Duggan: Next up we’ve got Samantha Hamilton against Voshon Jackson in a Singapore candy cane match.
Match #3
JACKSON Vs THE TITANESS
(25 Minute Singapore (Candy) Cane On A Pole Bout!)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Duggan: Lets have some fun now shall we! Our next match is a Singapore candy cane on a pole match! Samantha the Titaness Hamilton and Voshon Jackson will do battle and whoever grabs the cane first can use it as a weapon!
Loydson: Oh yeh and of course don’t forget that most importantly the winner of this match gets a lifetime supply of jolly rancher candy canes! Pfftt... yeh right.. what kind of a prize is that! AC Delaney is pocketing the real prizes and handing out garbage that she found in the bargain bin of her local Walmart. She’ll be giving out some of Joe Porters underwear as a prize next!
Martinez: Hey i happen to like Jolly ranchers! But not Joe Porters underwear...no.. just...no
Duggan: Yeh anyway Samantha Hamilton will be looking for one last win before her trip to France and her date with Cyrus Black and the International Championship. Voshon Jackson on the other hand is looking to bounce back with a win tonight!
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is a Singapore Candy Cane on a pole match... Introducing first, from residing from Brooklyn, New York... weighing in at 245 pounds... VOSHON JACKSONNNN!!!!
Therapy Session' by NF plays as Voshon Jackson makes his way down to the ring.
Chrqui: His opponent, from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, weighing in at one hundred and forty-five pounds, she is SAMANTHA THE TITANESS HAMILTONNNNN!!!!
’You're Going Down' by Sick Puppies plays as Samantha Hamilton makes her way down to the ring.
DING DING DING
Both Hamilton and Jackson are in a stand off as the bell rings, both looking towards the Singapore candy cane and then back at each other. Suddenly they both make a beeline for the cane at the same time. Hamilton reaches the turnbuckle first and she grabs onto the pole and pulls herself up but Jackson is right behind her and he uses his strength to pull her off of the pole and in one swift move he drops her onto his knee with a backbreaker. Jackson looks pleased with himself as he slowly saunters towards the pole.
Jackson takes his time to climb to the top turnbuckle but he’s taking to long and all of sudden Hamilton is up and she’s climbing the turnbuckle aswell. Before Jackson can do anything, Hamilton smashes him with forearm then using the pole as leverage she jumps up and wraps her legs around Jackson’s neck. Twisting around, Hamilton pulls Jackson off of the top turnbuckle with her Defying The Gods Frankensteiner move!
Duggan: A great top rope Frankensteiner there by Samantha Hamilton!
Loydson: Voshon Jackson should’ve been quicker, he had the advantage after that backbreaker. What an idiot.
Martinez: You wouldn’t say that to his face Phil.
Hamilton gets to her feet but instead of going for the cane she pulls Jackson up and lets him wobble for a second as she runs off of the ropes and back towards him. Hamilton throws herself at Jackson for a spear but the big man comes to life and he springs forward at the same time and hits Hamilton with his version of the super kick that he calls Sweet Dreams.
Jackson turns and again slowly makes his way to towards the pole. Once at the turnbuckle he begins to climb but amazingly Hamilton is again back on his feet although she still looks dazed she stumbles towards the turnbuckle just as Jackson has a hand on the cane she yanks his leg and he falls backwards into the ring. As Jackson gets to his feet Hamilton this springs forward and it’s her turn to hit a super kick on Jackson but as he hits the mat he immediately tries to get back to his feet. Hamilton bounces off of the ropes and back at Jackson, this time catching him with a spear. Hamilton is clearly still feeling the effects of the earlier super kick as she lays on the mat next to Jackson for a moment before she starts to crawl towards the pole. Amazingly Jackson is on his knees now and he also starts to make his way to the pole. Hamilton gets to the corner and drags herself but Jackson is right behind her and grabbing her back the hair he throws her backwards but he climbs the turnbuckle to the top and reaches for the Singapore cane. Just as Jackson has his hand on it, Hamilton scales the turnbuckle and also grabs the cane. Jackson and Hamilton end up pulling the cane off of the pole at the same time which leaves them both holding an end each.
Duggan: Oh my! Samantha Hamilton and Voshon Jackson have both grabbed the Singapore candy cane at the same time! What’s going to happen here?
Jackson and Hamilton both struggle to wrestle the cane for each other on the top turnbuckle as the fans cheer like crazy at the action. Jackson looks like he’s starting to pry the cane from Hamilton’s hands when she kicks him in the mid-rift and Jackson lets go of the cane. Hamilton now has the cane but Jackson jumps off of the top turnbuckle, then he grabs Hamilton’s leg and pulls her off of the top.
Hamilton lands on the mat and drops the cane, Jackson then immediately picks it up and he hits Hamilton twice on the back as she turns around and tries to back away from. Jackson has a grin on his face as he slowly approaches Hamilton. Just as he raises the cane above his head Hamilton lashes out a foot that catches Jackson in between his legs. Jackson drops the cane and falls to floor while holding his nether region. Hamilton gets up to her feet with the cane now in her hand and she cracks it off of Jackson’s forehead much to the delight of the crowd. Hamilton then drops the cane, picks Jackson up and hits him with her pedigree finisher that she calls wrath of the titans. Hamilton makes the pin on Jackson and gets the win.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall... SAMANTHA HAMILTON!!!
Duggan: Another big win for Samantha Hamilton on the road to Wrestlefest.
Loydson: Don’t forget a lifetime of toothache and decay that she’s won.
Martinez: Voshon Jackson had a game plan tonight and it nearly one. I think he will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
Duggan: Next up we’ve got a couple off debutants squaring off against each other! Don’t go anywhere.
As Titaness continues celebrating in the ring, the feed goes outside Madison Square Garden, and the crowd cheers as United States Champion Ace King is shown walking down West 34th Street in a black peacoat with his championship on his shoulder.
Ace King: The holiday season’s officially here, and it’s an opportunity to take the time to reflect on what’s happened in the last year… And I consider being here to be one of the best gifts a wrestler can have.
The camera pans around to show Madison Square Garden’s exterior, causing the crowd to cheer loudly; the United States Champion simply nods in response.
Ace King: There really is nothing like fighting inside the world’s most famous arena to get the competitive juices flowing, and I can’t get enough of it.
‘The Gambler’ exhales heavily, then makes his way toward the Madison Square Garden entrance, the crowd cheering as he quickly gets through security and into the concourse.
Ace King: It’s been an incredible year to this point, but tonight? It’s all . Now, I know it would be easy for closed-minded people to say I see you as nothing more than a Cyrus placebo, and that I’ll let that personal side of me take precedence over my competitive mindset, all the while showing Scorpio what he’s in for at WrestleFest… However, that would be doing you and your accomplishments a disservice. You’ve proven yourself more than capable of standing on your own two feet, and with your literal dream match right around the corner, I know you’ll want to go in on a high, which makes this the perfect time for our first one-on-one encounter.
Ace casually interacts with a few passing fans as he hears the Big Apple crowd boisterously chanting his name.
Ace King: On the surface, we should be like oil and water, but in reality, we’re more similar than you could ever know. This is the kind of match I’ve wanted and needed for a long time, Melody, so I think you know you’re getting me at my best… But believe me when I say I intend to make sure tonight truly is a Black Friday. Bet On It.
With that, Ace steps into the elevator, disappearing as the doors close, the feed cutting to...
Match #4
DAGAWD™️ Vs STONE
(25 Minute FN'R Debuts Bout!)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Duggan: It may be the last Rampage of the year but it’s never too late to introduce some new faces! Up next we’ve got the American Samurai Vincent Stone going one on one with Charmaine DaGawd!!
Loydson: Look at the prize these guys get! A diamond studded Rolex. I bet Samantha Hamilton and Voshon Jackson feel short changed now!!
Martinez: It is a nice prize I must admit but for Stone and DaGawd getting win on your debut is surely more important.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall... Introducing first, Making her way to the ring, from the harsh streets of Brooklyn, New York; weighing in at one hundred and thirty pounds, CHAR-MAINE DA-GAAWWD!
”Press” by Cardi B plays as Charmaine DaGawd makes her way down to the ring.
Chrqui: And her opponent, from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at one hundred and ninety pounds! He is...THE AMERICAN SAMURAI...VINCEEEEEEEENT...STOOOOOOOONE!!!!"
Downfall' by Trust Company plays as Vincent Stone makes his way down to the ring.
DING DING DING
Stone And DaGawd lock up with Stone getting the better of the test of strength. Stone catches DaGawd with some stiff kicks the legs before he drop toeholds her to the floor and then seamlessly transitions into an STF. DaGawd senses the danger and quickly slides backwards and out of the submission before Stone has a chance to lock it in good. Springing to her feet she spins Stone around as he getting up and grabbing a hold of his head she drops him with a DDT.
DaGawd makes a pin attempt but Stone kicks out. DaGawd quickly kips up to her feet and jumping onto the top rope she then leaps backwards looking for a moonsault on Stone but he’s one step ahead as he has also got to his feet and he kicks DaGawd in the mid air catching her in the air as she jumps towards him. DaGawd looks on the mat with a nasty thud.
Duggan: Ouch did you hear the way DaGawd landed there! Stone caught her good with that kick.
Loydson: I enjoyed that.
Martinez: You enjoy human pain and misery. There’s a surprise.
Stone hits a standing moonsault on DeGawd then he makes a cover. DeGawd kicks out. Stone drags DeGawd into the corner and then he backs away, taking a run he comes back towards DeGawd, throwing himself at her with a cannonball but DeGawd dives out of way at the last minute and Stone hits the turnbuckle.
DeGawd picks Stone up and using get strength she hits a package pile driver on him. DeGawd goes for a pin but Stone kicks out. DeGawd then picks Stone up and hits a knife edge chop straight across his chest that his heard throughout the garden. This seems to wake Stone up as he suddenly leashes a fury of stiff kicks and strikes to DeGawds body. Stone then runs off of the ropes back at her, hitting his shining wizard on her. DeGawd rolls out of the ring before Stone can make a pin.
Duggan: Vincent Stone has fought back and now he’s in control but DeGawd was smart enough to get out of the ring after that shining wizard.
Stone pulls DeGawd back up to the ring apron but as he does this DeGawd pulls his head down and his throat hits the top rope. Stone stumbles back holding his throat as DeGawd leaps onto the top rope and hits a springboard hurricanrana on Stone. DaGawd makes the pin but Stone kicks out.
DeGawd tries to pick Stone up off of his feet but he hits her with a jumping knee attack then he puts his thumb over his throat and signals for his finisher before hitting Fatality on DaGawd. Stone makes the pin and gets the win.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner by pinfall is VINCENT STONE!!!
Duggan: A big debut win for the American samurai.
Loydson: Both DeGawd and Stone impressed tonight I can’t deny that.
Martinez: I would like to see a rematch between these two.
Duggan: Don’t do anywhere folks because we’ve got more action after this commercial break.
Duggan: What a special season finale this has been so far!
Loydson: We're not through, either. We still have more action to come!
Martinez: This is why Friday Night Rampage is the best brand EWC has to offer.
Suddenly, the lights go out, and the crowd makes some noise, anticipating what's about to happen.
Martinez: Strange. It's not like us to have technical difficulties.
Duggan: No, when the lights go out, it's usually for good reason.
For a few moments, nothing happens. Just darkness, and the fans getting a bit restless. That is, until a mysterious voice is heard from the PA system.
"Extreme… Wrestling… Corporation. Your Universe needs protecting."
A large portion of the crowd get amped up. The lights turn up to a deep indigo color, and "Tetris" by DJ Dahi plays.
Duggan: Woah! We weren't expecting her until the new season!
Loydson: She should wait, like everyone else. She isn't scheduled to be here yet.
Martinez: Shush it, Loydson. Just sit back and watch history happen, no thanks to you.
Loydson: Hmph.
The bass drops, and the "FemAlien" L Verez makes her way to the stage to a decent pop from fans that remember her. The rest seem confused, but curious.
Chriqui: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… the Protector of the Universe, L VEEEREEEZ!
L Verez makes her way down the ramp, making sure to greet her fans via her positive vibes salute, before making it to ringside. She hops up to the apron, and climbs and sits atop the top turnbuckle, facing the crowd, taking everything in for a moment. She flips down and sits cross legged in the middle of the ring, mic in hand. The lights dim, a spotlight pointing right down at the FemAlien as she puts the mic near her lips.
L Verez: Greetings and salutations, EWC. Aside from the UCI Reunion, it has been quite a while since I stepped into the squared circle. Many of you may know me, many may not. Those that do know what I am capable of, and know my history. Those that do not… be ready for an experience you won't ever forget.
The crowd cheers. A lot of them still look confused.
L Verez: For a long time, I wasted many opportunities dwelling in the past. UCI was my original second home. It's passing took me out of focus. I spent too long reminiscing, taking too many steps back, and not moving forward. That changes today. This is the season finale of Rampage, yes?
The crowd falls for the cheap pop.
L Verez: I see… well, with a new season imminent, that means new arrivals. A new generation. New stories to be told, new moments to be fondly remembered. I shall be part of that. EWC will become my new home, and you all shall see a new L Verez, better than ever before! Rampage needs a Protector, and I plan to do just that. So, be ready, EWC. The FemAlien has arrived.
The crowd erupts as the lights go back out for a few moments. Once they return to normal, there is no sign of L Verez.
Duggan: Wow! A big new signing for Rampage. Just in time for the new season.
Loydson: Who cares? I've seen enough weirdos coming and going. I bet it won't last a month.
Martinez: "It" is a she, Loydson, and she's a very successful wrestler. Let's see how well she does when the new season kicks off.
Duggan: Until then, we have more wrestling to come. Stay tuned, because we'll be right back!
Match #5
SCORPIO Vs THE ANIMAL
(30 Minute Rebounder Bout!)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Duggan: What a performance we just got from Charmaine Dagawd™️ and Vincent Stone, and a hell of a segment from L Verez, but now we’ve got The Animal versus the S-Factor!
Loydson: What’s with Delaney? Going from candy canes to diamond studded gear to Netflix subscriptions? A little all over the place isn’t it?
Martinez: Oh don’t worry, I’m sure if you ask AC really nicely, she’ll give you something other than just your paycheck for Christmas this year.
Duggan: Yeah, like a diamond studded pink slip..
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 280 pounds... 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 before the match starts.
Duggan: Samuel McPherson, coming off a loss last Rampage is looking to bounce back on to his winning ways here tonight.
Loydson: He’s up against a tall order tonight, Scorpio was embarrassed on Brawl and he’s looking to prove to the EWC faithful he’s not the fraud they think he is!
Martinez: I don’t think anyone actually called him a fraud...
Duggan: Regardless, McPherson isn’t going to just let Scorpio walk in here and get the W. If the S-Factor wants a win, he’s gonna have to earn it.
Chrqui: His/her opponent, from London, England, weighing in at 205 pounds... 'The S-Factor'... 'The People's Camp'...SCORPIO!
'Iconic' - Madonna feat. Chance The Rapper begins as Scorpio makes his way to the ring, accompanied by a still wheelchair bound Crème de la Crème. Scorpio struts down to the ring, almost expecting Crème to hold the ropes open for him before the official Pierce Patterson finally relents and holds them open for him.
DING DING DING
McPherson and Scorpio both rush one another, but McPherson’s size advantage stops Scorpio in his tracks as the bigger man scoops up Scorpio and slams him down onto the mat. Samuel drops down, looking to grab Scorpio but the S-Factor smartly reaches up and pulls him down into a rollup for a 2 count. McPherson kicks out and angrily pulls Scorpio to his feet before whipping him into the ropes and driving him down with a vicious clothesline. He pulls Scorpio up, wrapping his arms around his waist and sending him backward with a German suplex. Scorpio’s head bounces off the mat and he rolls to his side, holding the back of his head as Crème hollers at the referee to check on him. Patterson kneels down to check on Scorpio, but McPherson pushes him aside to grab at the S-Factor, only to get a thumb to the eye as the referee is stumbling backward.
Duggan: Scorpio seems fine to me..
Loydson: You can’t tell that, do you have a medical degree Duggan? For all you know that was purely reactionary.
Martinez: Please… he knew what he was doing, and that’s why it worked! He’s not an idiot.
Duggan: Here comes the S-Factor!
With McPherson temporarily blinded, Scorpio closes in and grabs hold of The Animal, taking his arm over his shoulders before driving down McPherson with the Paparazzi's Flash and stacks up the legs for a long 2 count. Scorpio is incensed and pulls McPherson back up to his feet, whipping him off of the ropes and looking for a superkick. McPherson ducks it, and Scorpio goes for a back elbow but it doesn’t look like it even phases the bigger man. Scorpio turns around, ducking a clothesline attempt from McPherson before he bounces off of the ropes and comes back at McPherson but it’s the Animal that catches Scorpio off guard with a hand to the throat looking for the chokeslam! Scorpio’s eyes go wide as McPherson hoists Scorpio high up but the S-Factor leaps in tandem, twisting himself from McPherson’s hold and wrapping his arm around Samuel’s neck and driving him down to the mat with the AGR! The S-Factor hooks the leg for the emphatic three count.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall... SCORPIO!
Martinez: What a reversal! Scorpio dug deep to save himself from that chokeslam and it paid massively!
Loydson: If I’m Ace King? I’m taking notes because this bad bitch is coming for him at Wrestlefest!
Duggan: Don’t go anywhere Rampage fans, we’ve got a special Brawl for All Arcade Clash coming up next! It’s Clay Byrd, it’s Kendrick Kross, it’s Xavier Reid and it’s William Manson, and it’s pinball machines for the winner.. NEXT!
The camera cuts to the giant screen inside Madison Square Garden where it loads EWC’s Instagram Live feed, the feed cuts to Xavier Reid inside a car as it navigates around the streets of NYC.
Reid: Tonight the EWC and the fans of Rampage are in for a little treat, four members of the Brawl roster inside an empty arcade and turned loose to do the absolute worst to each other...for your entertainment.
Xavier smiles into the phone
Reid: And it seems I might be a marked man here tonight, I get it that someone like William Manson looks at me and resents me, he looks back at all the championship matches that ‘have been given to me’...I’m going to stop you right there Willie because clearly you weren’t a fan of the EWC before they offered you that contract because had you been you would have known that nothing was ‘given to me’...I earned each and every championship match I got here in 2019, I won the Undisputed Championship #1 Contender Tournament to challenge Dominic Sanders, I climb a ladder and beat out 4 other worthy challengers to claim a briefcase that I cashed in on Ace King...before that I was 3-0 against the X-Divisions Champions of that time and still had to beat Rob Garcia’s lackey in order to get my shot at him and the X-Division and I took out every contender worthy of facing Stephanie Matsuda and that was AFTER I had already beat her in a non-title match...this rematch at WrestleFest, it wasn’t because I complained, sorry to call your little version of the story bullshit but...Jim Connors has two eyes and a brain and saw that my shoulder was up and did what was right...but I get it, you look around Brawl and want your shot...after what 4 matches, sounds about typical of today’s wrestler but lucky for you a win here tonight and maybe you will turn a few heads but a lose...well Willie then you will start off 2020 watching as others get championship match after championship match and being passed over and open each and every Brawl and Rampage you appear on...see nothing is given here, it’s earned and you might want to remember that…
Xavier smirks into the camera
Reid: And as for the hayseed, clearly the ranch doesn’t get cable or internet or you just weren’t paying attention, see one bad referee moment doesn’t equal my ass getting kicked but I get it, you look at me and see your biggest rival, the biggest threat to you in this match so you try and minimize my chances, I get it, it’s an insecure move by a man still trying to see where he fits in around here...look at mt Clay, do I look like a man whose confidence is shaken? See yeah, I lost to Ace just like you lost to Cyrus but the difference is mine was in the Main Event of Hardcore Revolution and yours was on just another Brawl...oh and I didn’t run home to daddy, I picked myself back up and am in position to end the year a champion...and sure, you look down on the X-Division like you are too good for it, which is cute coming from a guy that hangs out with pigs and stinks like shit but if you think you are just going to walk into that arcade and kick our asses well buddy you have another thing coming, this is going to be a war tonight, I’m looking to bring it all crashing down around us. You aren’t walking out of that arcade unscathed…
Xavier nods
Reid: Tonight we give the fans of New York one hell of a fight on the last Rampage of 2019...so let the games begin…
The car pulls to a stop outside the arcade for tonight’s match, Xavier jumps out and walks past a crowd of people who have their faces pressed up against the window, he pulls off his shirt and tosses it into the crowd as he walks inside the arcade...
Match #6
BYRD Vs KROSS Vs MANSON Vs REID
(No Time Limit, BRAWL For All Arcade Clash!)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Duggan: And now we are about to go off-site to an empty arcade where four men are waiting for the most bizzare match of their careers.
Loydson: It’s funny that these fans are fine with watching this on the MacTron.
Martinez: Always looking to stir the pot Phil.
Duggan: We got live to the arcade, NOW!.
The camera pans around the arcade where Clay Byrd, William Manson, Kendrick Kross and Xavier Reid stand. Mike Michaelson signals the bell and we are off!
DING DING DING
Clay Byrd rushed for the nearest man and punchs Manson right in the mouth before Irish-whipping him towards a pinball machine . Manson steps up onto it before leaping onto Kross with a cross body. Xavier breaks up the pin before sending Manson face first into a nearby machine. Xavier catches a bucket full of coins right into the jaw and is stumbled. Clay rushes Xavier and push kicks him backwards into a wall before feeding him a right hook and putting him on his ass. Clay turns around and eats a chair shot right into the face. Kross laughs before slamming another shot onto the top of Clay’s head, and Clay is busted open! Blood pours down from Clay’s face as he takes a knee and cracks a smile. Clay eats a third chair shot to the side of his head and he is down. Kross steps towards Reid but two hands grab his waist and rip him backwards into a German suplex! Manson maintains waist control and hits a second, and then a third, and then a fourth. Manson stands tall over Kross while Xavier gets to his own feet. Xavier and Manson square up in a shoulder/collar tie-up, but Xavier would kick Manson in a not so friendly area before taking a back and kneeing Manson in his kidneys over and over, not stopping until he was satisfied Manson would piss blood later. Xavier spins Manson around and slaps the taste of his mouth before rocking him with a European Uppercut. Manson explodes forward and dropkicks Xavier backwards! Manson quickly drags Xavier up and begins smashing his face on a clay machine before Irish-Whipping him towards an old Area-51 game, Xavier’s face crashes through the screen! Manson turns just as Clay Byrd spears him through the damn clay machine! Clay gets to his feet, his face a crimson mask as he begins to punch Manson over and over, busting Manson open as well! Manson shoves Clay off and begins to beat him with a stuffed elephant that obviously has no effect. Finally Manson tears up the stuffed animal and Clay is blinded by the innards!
Xavier gets his face out of the machine, and he too is bleeding. Clay stumbles backwards, blinded from the stuffing and gets rocked with another chairshot from Kross, this shot turns Clay inside out. Manson gets to his feet but Kross launches the chair into his face. Kross turns around and eats a cutter from Xavier, spiking his face onto the concrete! Kross is now also bleeding! But Xavier rolls him up and Mike counts.

Chriqui: And your winner,pinfall... XAVIER REID!Duggan: What a wild crash that was!
Loydson: I’ve got to say, it was damn entertaining.
Martinez: I’ve got to agree Phil.
Duggan: Don't go anywhere, tag team action coming up!
NSFW is shown making their way to the ring, just moments before their match with Blue Phoenix.
Church: Phoenix Winterborn. Wow. I’d run out of real estate if I took the time to address your inane statements.
McGuire: Everything that came out of your mouth was completely wrong. I’ll show you just how fucking wrong on at least one of your stupid points here in a minute.
Church puts an affirming hand on Mike’s shoulder.
Church: Stephanie, you’re complicit. Sitting by nodding while he prattled on about nonsense. That’s fine. You two don’t get us. You two don’t get what NSFW stands for.
McGuire: And you never will.
The camera cuts back to ringside.
Match #7
BLUE PHOENIX Vs NSFW
(45 Minute Tag Team Bout)
(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)
Duggan: Well, Mike and John have told us exactly what they think and now, well that match is here. Next up we’ve got ourselves some tag team action. As a former tag team champion myself, I always enjoy some these bouts and boy do we have a beauty for you. NSFW returns to Friday Night Rampage to face one of the top current teams in EWC, Blue Phoenix!
Loydson: Blue Phoenix are losers, just like you, Duggan.
Martinez: Calling the X-Division champion like Matsuda and an accomplished veteran like Winterborn is disingenuous
Duggan: Oh, I agree. They’ve accounted for themselves well. NSFW shouldn’t underestimate them. Also, remember this. Lifetime subscriptions to Netflix and Disney Plus are up for grabs!
Chriqui: The following contest is a tag team match. First, 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!
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. Matsuda stands up next to Phoenix, bumping the backs of their fists together as they start to make their way towards the ring. 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.
Duggan: These two look ready!
Loydson: I’m going to turn your mic off if you offer anymore inane commentary.
Chrqui: And their opponents, making their way to the ring at a combined 400 pounds, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Mike McGuire, Bishop Church, they are NSFW!!!
The lights suddenly drop. Words flash across the screen accompanying Jacoby Shaddix’s vocals and a strobe pulse from the side lights. The lights flare to life again as ‘Renegade Music’ continues, white pulses and lasers- notably devoid of the once-iconic green and orange- flash along with the words WE FIRST. ALWAYS. NSFW in succession on the Mactron. Mike McGuire and Bishop Church enter to a mixed reaction, the two of them walking in lockstep, affording those wearing their gear or holding NSFW signs along the entry ramp a smile or wave as they approach the ring, seemingly ignoring everyone else. Mike and Bishop then enter the ring, slipping through the ropes and standing in the center, each with a left fist raised.
DING DING DING
The bell has rung but the action has yet to begin. There’s a stand off between Mike and Phoenix. Mike glared coldly at Phoenix across the ring. They wore the jacket half of the tracksuit they'd won on BRAWL. Without a word, they unzipped it and tossed it aside, revealing an unusual choice of ring gear- a simple sports bra, which revealed their scar covered bare skin down to their waist.
Duggan: I guess that’s a response to Winterborn had to say about his battle wounds.
Loydson: Don’t be so obtuse. Mike is telling this team across from them that they didn’t know shit.
Martinez: Oh, come on, Blue Phoenix always comes prepared.
Despite that cold exchange, the action is what constitutes classic tag team wrestling. In the early moments in this match, the tags are quick and neither team is able to solidify an advantage. Phoenix hones in on Church as promised and cuts him down to size with a dropkick to the knee. From there, Blue Phoenix takes over. They both isolate Church away from his partner and put on a double team clinic. With their five seconds of legal double team time, they manage to get a nearfall with the System Shock. The X-Division champ didn’t get all of that moonsault and it allows Church to kick out. She tagged in Phoenix and the Chicago native tried for a superkick but Church caught the leg, and tossed him overhead with a belly to belly suplex!!
Duggan: There is the much needed momentum swing. Blue Phoenix had been in control for this match for the better part of 10 minutes. They look absolutely amazing tonight!
Loydson: Sure, if you say so. I just saw a Phoenix fly and I don’t think he liked it one bit.
Martinez: Mike has been a non factor in this match, you can see they want in, though.
Church fights off an attempt from Matsuda to drag him back to their corner with a well placed kick to the jaw. Seconds later, McGuire tags in and they levels Winterborn with a forearm to the face. They slide into Stephanie’s midsection and dropkick the X-Division champion out of the ring for good measure. Mike takes over, countering any Phoenix’s attacks and forcing him into a brawl. She manages a Rubbernecker for a two count before resorting to what they know best. The Bronx Brawler’s eyes are ablaze as stomps and kicks at Phoenix relentlessly. Official Yasahiro nearly disqualified McGuire before getting between the two. Mike pushed past the referee but the break in action allowed for Winterborn to drop toe McGuire throat first into the second rope. This allowed for Phoenix to smash McGuire with a sitout powerbomb.
Matsuda is up top but suddenly gets pushed off the turnbuckle by Bishop Church! She goes crashing to the outside. Winterborn sees this go down and hits a running dropkick that knocks the big man off the apron. Within a split second, Mike McGuire rolls up Winterborn…

Mike has a handful of tights!

DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, NSFW!
Duggan: NSFW steals a win from Blue Phoenix. I’m telling you folks, this is who NSFW has always been
Loydson: What a crock of shit!
Martinez: I gotta agree with my amigo. We should have seen this coming.
Before anything else can go on, Church is back in the ring and cinches up Phoenix from behind in a sleeper hold. McGuire sneers at Phoenix and slugs him right in the gut before turning their attention on the X-Division champion. Stephanie rolls into the ring with an equalizer, a trusty kendo stick and Church drops Phoenix before the sleeper is completely on, bailing out of the ring with his partner.
Duggan: NSFW manages to get the duke but Blue Phoenix clears them out of the ring before they can do any more damage. Next up, we’ve got a battle between two of Rampage’s biggest stars.
Match #8
MALONE Vs KING
(No Time Limit, Non-Title Singles Bout)
(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)
Duggan: Up next we have the winner of the Rumble in Texas looking to make a statement on the last stop to WrestleFest, as she takes on the United States Champion!
Loydson: I can't wait for Malone to make a damn fool out of Ace King tonight, I've got good money on her taking the big W tonight.
Martinez: Wait, you're betting on EWC matches? Isn't that, like, illegal?
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 148 pounds... MELODY MALONE!
The lights dim, but don’t go dark before the soft words of Billie Eilish’s “You should see me in a crown” begin to play over the P.A. system. Melody and her manager Vanessa come out from backstage, head held high as they come down the entrance ramp and Melody prepares for her match as Vanessa watches on ringside.
Chriqui: And her opponent...
"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 Madison Square Garden. As the drums kick in, pyro goes off up and down the ramp in time with the beat, while frenetic red and white spotlights pulse through the building before fixating on the ramp.
Chriqui: Making his way to the ring, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He is THE GAMBLER... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!
There's a huge explosion as the guitar kicks in, and the crowd roars as the one and only Ace King emerges through the smoke of the pyro and into the spotlights, soaking in the ovation. 'The Gambler' stays for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and walking 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 red 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 getting his game face on.
DING DING DING
Melody and Ace lock up right away, and Ace sends Melody to the ropes with an Irish whip, looking for a clothesline on the rebound. Melody ducks under, catching the Gambler on the rebound with a neckbreaker! The self-proclaimed Queen stays on the attack with some kicks on King, trying to keep the bigger man down...but King gets back to his feet, blocking the last kick before reversing it into a dragon screw! Ace is the one in control now, as he lays into Malone with some hard kicks that has her shouting in pain! King picks her up, sending Malone into the corner before charging at the Rumble winner, setting her up for a monkey flip that sends her nearly across the ring! Melody looks hurt as the Gambler approaches...but she does a backward roll, extending her arms for an extra push as she catches the United States Champion with a headscissors that sends him into the ropes!
Duggan: Whoa, what a maneuver!
Loydson: You're gonna get us sued, Duggan...but you're right.
Martinez: Melody not letting Ace's size advantage get the better of her in this match, and you gotta wonder if the Gambler is gonna have to fold!
With Ace down, Melody looks like she's got all the momentum behind her as she climbs the turnbuckle, taunting Ace before hitting a leg drop across the back of the Gambler, sending both competitors to the outside! Ace slowly gets to his feet, and they begin brawling as the ref begins the count: 1...2...Melody catches King by surprise, sending him into the steel steps with a thud...3...4...Melody slides into the ring, taunting the fallen King as he slowly gets to his feet again...5...6...Ace manages to get back in the ring, but Melody blocks him with a baseball slide to the face for his trouble! She waits for Ace to get up to his knees, clearly just biding her time...ROYAL TREATMENT! She just nailed the United States Champion with that forward somersault cutter! Melody goes for the cover: 1...2...3!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall... MELODY MAAALOOOOONEEEEE!
Duggan: Melody just picked up a victory over the United States Champion!
Loydson: That's my girl! Melody don't take shit from nobody. Free gas for life! Probably gonna ask her for a ride to the hotel tonight now, need to cut back on Uber costs.
Martinez: You gotta believe that's gonna give her some momentum heading into her big opportunity at WrestleFest, when she gets ready to face Cyrus Black for the Undisputed Championship.
Duggan: And speaking of Cyrus Black, he's in non-title action in our main event as he takes on Lavender in a major rematch, with the hope that tonight sees a decisive winner...and that, friends, is up next!
LAVENDER Vs BLACK
(No Time Limit Non-Title Singles Bout)
(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)
Duggan: We have the reached the end of the line! The last match of Rampage in 2019. What a year it has been! We’ve seen classic bouts like Ace King and Annabelle in an Inferno match and Ace King and Cyrus Black inside the steel cage but now it’s time for one last match of the year and boy this is one that we’ve all been waiting for. The rematch between Cyrus Black and Lavender has arrived.
Loydson: I can’t wait for Lavender to put the final nail into Cyrus Black’s coffin before he goes into Wrestlefest and loses everything and by everything I mean both of his titles and Melody Malone!
Martinez: I don’t know about that, but I’ve been looking forward to this one. Just for context folks Incase you’ve been living on another planet this year, Lavender and Cyrus Black did battle on Rampage back in September but the match was abruptly ended due to the referee getting hurt and then another referee ending the match in a Double DQ!
Duggan: No-one was happy about that outcome! So it was pretty obvious that a rematch needed to happen. Lavender may not have wrestled a lot this year but when she comes up against the top guys in the EWC she always performs! And don’t forget that the winner of this bout get a cheque for 2,500 dollars!!
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall Introducing first, weighing in at 132 pounds... LAVENDERRRRR!!!!
The lights go out as 'Imaginary' by Evanescence begins to play. The lights flash in time to the guitar riff. The song kicks into its first verse as smoke billows from behind the curtains and a spotlight shined down upon the center of the stage. When the chorus kicks in the lights come back on and out walks Lavender. She looks out across the crowd as the crowd erupts into cheer. A smile creeps across her face as she embraces their warm welcome.
Lavender begins to make her way down to the ring. As Lavender reaches ringside she walks over to the steel steps, walks up them and enters the ring before climbing the nearest turnbuckle and holding her arms up high in the air. Lavender steps down from the turnbuckle and waits for the match to commence.
Chrqui: And her opponent, from Carson City Nevada, weighing in at 230 pounds... He is the EWC Undisputed and International champion.... CYRUS BLACKKKKKKKK!!!!
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.
DING DING DING
The bell rings and Black and Lavender immediately go after each other, trading back and forth punches to the head. Black knees Lavender in the gut hard causing her to fall to her knees. Black then takes a run off of the ropes behind her and as he comes back towards Lavender he looks for his Blackout kick but Lavender dives to the side at the last minute and Black kicks thin air. Lavender still on her knees and behind Black, rolls towards him, grabbing his attire and pulling him backwards for a roll up pin....

TH...Black breaks out of the pin and rolls over to the ring ropes. Lavender gives him a sly smile as Black grins back.
Duggan: Wow Lavender nearly ended the march in record time!
Loydson: Cyrus isn’t on his game, I’m telling you he’s an easy target now. Lavender won’t need to break a sweat to beat him.
Martinez: Lavender certainly caught the undisputed champ off guard there. Cyrus Black needs to be careful.
Black and Lavender come at each other again, with Lavender landing the first blow as she kicks Black in the gut. Lavender tries to hook him up for a suplex but instead Black reverses and lifts Lavender up high, as he does this Lavender knees him in the face and he drops her on her feet behind him. Lavender dropkicks Black in the back and he falls forward onto the ring ropes. Lavender takes a run and throws herself towards Black but he rolls out of the way and Lavender hits the ring ropes in mid air and bounces back onto the mat, hitting her head hard.
Black doesn’t waste any time as he hoists Lavender off of her feet, lifting her up and dropping her on his knee with a Kneecap Brainbuster. Black then turns Lavender over, grabbing onto her legs and locking in a Lion Tamer submission hold!
Martinez: Oh Blacks got the submission locked in, this isn’t good for Lavender!
Black puts as much pressure on Lavenders back as he can while pulling on her legs. Lavender is in pain as she tries to reach the ring ropes but to no avail. She then tries to push herself off of her feet but the weight of Black pushes her back onto the mat. The referee is down at Lavender asking her if she wants to give in but she refuses. Black isn’t letting go anytime soon and time is running out for Lavender so she suddenly grabs a hold of the refs shirt and as he tries to pull away from her he ends up pulling her free from the submission.
Lavender rolls out of ring to recover as Black turns and shakes his head as he scowls at the referee. Black rolls out of the ring as Lavender leans against ring steps. Black sprints towards her and jumps at her with a flying knee attack but Lavender dives out of the way and Black hits the steel steps knee first, tumbling over them to the other side. Lavender senses an opportunity and she pushes around the steel ring steps and picks Black up off of his feet, then she uses all of her strength to lift Black up and drop him straight onto the ring steps with a crash landing! The ref is still counting them both out and he’s up to a six now as Lavender gets to her feet and slides into the ring as Black rolls around in pain on the outside.
Duggan: Lavender has just laid Cyrus Black out with that move straight onto the ring steps! I don’t know if the champ will be able to continue.
Loydson: That would be a crying shame if he was injured and missed Wrestlefest. I mean I could come out of retirement and stand in for him in the main event. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on Melo...
Martinez: Ok that’s enough Phil! No one wants to know about your seedy fantasies.
The referee is up to an eight count now as Lavender leans against the far away ropes and catches her breath. Black is still on the outside floor holding his knee and stomach as the referee gets to a nine count. Suddenly Black pushes himself to his feet and just as the referee is about to call for the ten Black dives under the bottom ropes and into the ring although he still looks hurt.
Just as Black gets to his knees Lavender rushes at him and kicks him in the head. With Black stunned she hooks his arms together and after taking a moment she lifts him and then plants him back on the mat with her tiger bomb move that she calls The Butterfly effect. Lavender quickly covers Black for the pin...

THRE....Black gets a shoulder up! Lavender looks a little shocked as she holds three fingers up to the referee, questioning the count.
Loydson: That was a three count there I think Lavenders just been screwed again out of a victory over Black!
Martinez: I’m pretty sure that Black kicked out just before the three count!
Duggan: Again Lavender was close to putting Black away there! She’s pulling out all the stops tonight for the Rampage finale.
Lavender gets to her feet and stares down at Black who is still on mat hurt. Lavender grabs a hold of his hair and picks him up to his feet, she then whips him into the corner. Lavender takes a few steps back before running at full speed, she leaps towards Black in the corner looking to hit her poetry in motion move but Black comes out of the corner and catches Lavender in mid air. Black then grips his arms around Lavenders waist and throws her over his shoulder for a release belly to belly suplex as Lavenders body crashes into the corner turnbuckle.
Black picks himself up and slowly moves towards the corner that Lavenders body is laying beneath. His knee is clearly still hurting as he climbs up to the top turnbuckle. Positioning himself on the top, he jumps off, looking to land on Lavender with a diving headbutt but Lavender rolls out of the way and Black hits the mat hard.
Martinez: This match is so back and forth I can’t keep up! These two are delivering here tonight for this famous MSG crowd.
Black gets onto his stomach and gets onto his hands and knees but Lavender is already on her feet and she kicks him in the ribs, and then gripping on Blacks arm Lavender twists around and then she goes over Black, pulling him into a magistral cradle pin. The ref makes the count....

Duggan: Bah Gawd! How many times has Lavender came to nearly picking up a victory here tonight?
Black stands on the ring apron leaning against the ropes for support, Lavender comes towards him. Black suddenly uses the top rope as leverage as he springs up and catches Lavender off guard with a high kick to the head. Black gets into the ring and runs past Lavender, he bounces off of the far away ropes and comes charging back towards her and catching her with a bicycle kick. Lavender collapses to the mat as Black continues to run off of the ropes and as she get onto her knees Black comes back at her and this time he catches her with a shining wizard.
Black isn’t done though and he picks Lavender up, and positions her so that she’s sitting on his shoulders. Black then drops her backwards for his Japanese Ocean Cyclone move he calls La Isla Bonita. Black makes the pin...

THRE...Lavender gets a shoulder up! Black suddenly grabs her arm and pulls her into his crossface submission move he calls Like a Virgin!
Martinez: They are kicking out of everything! What are these two going to have to do to put each other away?
Duggan: It might be over now because Lavender is caught in the crossface submission and she’s got nowhere to go!!
The sweat is dripping off of Black as he get a tight hold on the submission. Lavender is stretching out her free arm but she’s too far away from the ropes. After another minute of pressure in the submission Lavender seems to be losing consciousness as the ref holds onto her free arm and lifts it in the air but as he lets it go Lavender comes back to life and tries to struggle free again. Lavender stretches her legs back as far she can and she just manages to get a foot on the bottom rope ring rope behind her.
The referee calls for Black to break the submission but he listen and keeps it locked in. The referee again urges Black to break the hold but he still doesn’t listen so the referee stares to count to five and at the four count Black lets go of the submission. Black gets to his feet and backs off to the corner as the referee warns him that if he does that again he’ll be disqualified. The ref checks on Lavender who is laying out on the mat hurt.
Martinez: That was rather shady from Cyrus Black! He certainly kept a hold of that submission as long as he could.
Duggan: This is how bad he wants this victory. Lavender had a hold of the referees shirt earlier to break out of a submission good! They’ll do anything they can to get the win.
Black comes at Lavender again and just as he bends over to pick her up she lashes out a kick that catches him on his hurt knee. Black holds the knee in pain as he backs off to the corner.
Lavender suddenly kips up to her feet and runs at Black, leaping in the air this time she lands on him in the corner with her poetry in motion move. Before Black can collapse onto the floor Lavender is up on her feet again and she grabs a hold of Black, lifting him up and planting him on the mat with her sit-out spinebuster finisher she calls Amity Affliction. Lavender makes the pin...

Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall... LAVENDERRRRR!!!
Lavender rolls off of Cyrus and to the outside where she kneels down on the floor, looking elated as the MSG crowd cheer and chant her name.
Duggan: Wow! Lavender did it! That is the biggest win of this young women’s career! Hats off to her because she just defeated the double champion of the EWC!
Loydson: Give me a break, sure she got the win but right now my auntie Edith could beat Cyrus Black and she’s one hundred and two years old and blind with a wooden leg and a mild Dr.Pepper addiction. I can’t wait until we don’t have to call him a double champion anymore.
Martinez: I wouldn’t count Cyrus Black out just yet but his form going into Wrestlefest is not good. Oh wait a minute... here comes Melody Malone!
Malone quickly walks down the ramp, not even acknowledging Lavender as she walks by her. Black is sitting in the middle of the ring looking dejected as Malone makes her way over it him. The two embrace for a moment before she helps him to his feet. The ref slides the Undisputed and International titles into the ring. Malone picks both titles up, handing the International title to Black first which he throws over his shoulder. Black then sticks his hand out to take the undisputed title from Malone but she pauses with the title in her hands and stares at it for a moment before her eyes meet Blacks.
Martinez: Oh boy, what’s happening here?
Loydson: I’ll tell you what’s happening, Melody Malone and Cyrus Black have been living in a bubble for months now but the clock is about to strike midnight on this fairytale story and now reality is slowly setting in! They are going against each other in the biggest main of the year on the biggest wrestling show of the century!! Love is for losers, the undisputed championship is all that matters and Melody Malone knows it. I can see it in her face.
Martinez: I don’t agree that you can see anything in Malone’s face right now Phil but I can’t disagree with you on the fact that reality is washing over them. Wrestlefest is around the corner and Cyrus Black and Melody Malone have no choice but to step into the ring and duke it out for the richest prize in our industry!
Duggan: Well that’s all we have time for folks! Thank you for joining us on the Rampage finale! It’s been quite the year but I promise you ain’t seen nothing yet, next year on Rampage is going to be even better! So all that’s let to do is tell you to tune in to the first time ever four day wrestling extravaganza that is WretstleFest. It’s starts on Friday the 13th of December and it ends on Monday the 16th with Melody Malone and Cyrus Black going one on one with for the EWC undisputed championship! Thank you and until next time, goodnight.
Cyrus Black and Melody Malone have one hand each on the Undisputed Championship, frozen still staring into each other’s eyes when suddenly, "My Way" plays through the arena! The crowd is on their feet, their excitement undercut by the feeling of surprise shared by the champion and his WrestleFest challenger as Victor Price makes his way to the ring, a large satin bag in his hand as he is followed closely by the General Managers of all four brands of EWC. They enter the ring, and Price asks for the microphone from Chriqui with a smile on his face.
Price: Good evening, New York City!
The crowd gives the obvious pop, which makes Price's smile grow to a grin.
Price: You're probably wondering what got me out here tonight, aside from the occasion of the Friday Night Rampage season finale. Well, funny enough this actually involves you two, so I'm glad you're both here right now...even you, Cyrus.
He points at the champion, who looks none too pleased to see the acting President as Price turns his attention back to the crowd.
Price: Ladies and gentlemen, this announcement is a long time coming. As you know, we pride ourselves on tradition here in the EWC. Such is the reason we have the Drake Memorial Cup happening at WrestleFest .. we do that to honor Drake, to honor what he meant to EWC and Wrestling as a whole ... and speaking of our fallen brother Ashton, the Championship you see held by Cyrus now is synonymous with the only man in this company's history to hold it on three separate occasions. So, to honor that great man once more, we've reached a decision to retire the current version or design of the championship. It will be proudly displayed in the Hall of Fame next to Drake .. where people can look back on it fondly. Where people can not only remember Drake, but remember all those who brought greatness to that Championship and the design will forever be tied to the likes of Drake and before him Xplode who was the originator of this design. Wolfe, Young, Candy, Sanders, King and now Cyrus Black .. will be lasting memories tied to this particular design.

Price claps along as the fans chant Drake's name .. Price then motions for Cyrus to hand over the title, which the champ does after some hesitation. Price slings the title over his shoulder as he starts to reach into the satin bag.
Price: And in its place, a new championship belt design to mark a new era for the EWC. Ladies and Gentlmen, I present to you the championship that Cyrus Black and Melody Malone will compete for at ...
Before Price can finish that sentence, "Coming Undone" by Korn plays, sending the crowd in an uproar as the GMs and both champion and challenger are in shock...but perhaps none more so than Price, whose eyes widen and smile has dropped as the President makes his way down to the ring.

Duggan: He's back! President Mac has returned to the EWC for the first time in several months, and Victor Price looks like he's seen a ghost!
Loydson: I'm pretty sure Price just shit his pants, look at those eyes.
Martinez: Maybe he's using the T-rex strategy...thinks if he stands still, Mac can't see him.
Mac enters the ring, shaking hands with the GMs and the competitors of the WrestleFest main event .. he looks back at Price for a moment, before requesting the bag and the microphone from him. Price hands them over to Mac, who turns his attention to the rowdy crowd with a smile of his own.
Mac: New York .. thank you for that warm welcome .. it's been a long long time since I've stepped into any ring or been seen on EWCTV .. and I can honestly say .. damn it's good to be back ... it's good to be home ... but this moment is not about me. This moment is about my brother Drake, its about our history, his and our legacy and its about WrestleFest weekend, about the main event of the biggest show of the season ... and about the Championship that these two amazing athletes will be competing for as we head into the 2020 Season
He points to Cyrus and Melody, to a big pop from the crowd.
Mac: Without any further ado, EWC Nation, and in honor of our friend and brother Ashton Drake, I present the new .. EWC Undisputed Championship!
Mac opens the bag, pulling the new championship out for the crowd and everyone at home to behold...
Loydson: Oh my God, it's beautiful.
Martinez: Look at the detail on that thing!
Duggan: What a great championship.
The crowd shows their approval, much to the delight of the Prez.
Mac: This new Championship design features jewels with colors that represent each of the 4 brands of the EWC ... Brawl, Rampage, FSW, and Prime. This Championship truly embodies the Undisputed nature of its Champion, because the person holding this Championship represents all four brands of the company. The entire EWC. Our Extreme Wrestling Champion if you will.
Mac turns back to Cyrus and Melody.
Mac: So then, at WrestleFest in our main event ... you two .. Cyrus .. Melody .. will compete for the honor of truly representing this company as we move into the new year. Best of luck to both of you! Thank you to everyone here tonight, to all those watching at home .. thank you for making this year an incredibly successful one .. thank you for making WrestleFest .. a 4 day Wrestling Festival happen .. because without you fans .. and your support .. we couldn't do what we do. Thank you to the GM's and staff .. thank you to each member of the EWC Roster .. for helping us constantly raise the bar and set new standards .. and lastly .. one more time .. thank you Drake .. we will never forget you .. you are in our hearts and on our minds always. Thank you all and good night
We get another big pop from the crowd, various chants and cheering from all over .. Cyrus and Melody once again staring each other down as the show comes to a close and we are left with one final image of Drake.
