JAKE PROMO 

Well, Hello there. My name is Jake. Many people don’t know who I am. Well I am here to explain myself to everyone on the roster here at PWA. I am a very simple young man that loves to step inside of the ring day in and out doing what I love which is to fight. Just like many of the other stars for this company loves to do.  

Jake smiled as the lights went out. They came back on and now he is wearing something else with a grin and now he is sitting at a bar with a drink in his hand taking a sip and toast towards the camera with a grin.  

That will be the only thing I have common with many people around here... or there might be few other things....

He grins once again as he snaps his fingers and the lights go out again. This time they come back on and he is standing there in a different outfit that looks a bit out there with his hands behind his back with a grin.  

They call me strange.... I am a bit... weird....unique....different...anything you can think of I was called once before. It doesn’t matter what you call me because by the end of our match. The only thing that will matter is that you will be down on the mat looking up at me as I just grin after I beat you.  

He would just grin as the camera zoomed in on him but now it zooms out and he is wearing something else.  

I will be making my debut at Proving Grounds where I feel the gentlemen I will be facing will do whatever it takes to take home the prize money that will be given to the winner. Money can be a good reason to push people to do whatever. This will show what type of person they are inside because they always say money can be the root of evil for some. The gentlemen I am facing might need the money more than I do. There could be many reasons as to why they will need it but it wouldn’t matter to me once the match is over or would it? Now you are wondering what will be the reason why I would need the money.  

He just winks.  

Sorry I can’t tell you all my secrets that would spoil the fun.  

[Ruthless Aggression]

AJ Lee was so happy as she was skipping down a long hallway with her hair just bouncing up and down while she was doing this. She stops in front of a big door that looks a bit strange with spiders web all over it and spiders on it. She opens the door slowly and gently peeking her head inside of the room. Sitting at the desk was Mommie Dearest looking down at some paperwork while she skipped right inside of the room. 

 

“Mommie Dearest!!!!! I did it!” 

Mommie Dearest sitting at a big desk that looked like a chair shaped like a spider looked up at AJ Lee with a soft nod.  

“Yes you did.. You caught those lovely in your beautiful web but then you let Ashley Morgan crawl out of your web later on in the night. When you had the chance to crush her but you didn’t. You let a small open happen and she beat you.”  

AJ Lee nods softly as she pouts very cute at her Mommie Dearest. Mommie Dearest stood up from her chair walking around her desk as she tapped AJ Lee on her head as she knew she could be mad at her, placing a soft kiss on the top of her head. She would play with her ponytail.  

“But I will do my best in the next match to get a $100,000 bonus which I really really really want!”  

Mommie Dearest just laughs softly looking over at her closely.  

“You only want that money for one reason and one reason only.”  

AJ Lee just grins as she giggles.  

“Come on Mommie Dearest just think of it. I can get all the punk rock clothes I want! You can get a new friend for Poison. Come on... you know Poison needs a friend...”  

Mommie Dearest walked over to the cage that was inside of the room as she made kisses sound at Posion. AJ Lee just giggles as she grins looking over at them.  

“So, Mommie I will do whatever it takes that night. I promise I will not let them out of my spiderweb this time around. I know I will have a target on my back that is why I am going to work ever harder in training for Proving Grounds. Proving Grounds was given that title for a reason. Everyone has something to prove to everyone on that roster. I feel I have something more to prove to EVERYONE else that is inside of that ring. So, I hope they are ready to get stuck in my web once again! This time they will not be able to escape from me!”

Everyone bow your heads!






Now normally I would start off with a prayer right here, but I haven’t spoken to you heathens in weeks. (Sister Leanne shakes her head in agreement.) Tonight, is different though, I know you haven’t been praying to your God, you’ve continued your lives without thanking me for all I have given. All I have said. You see, I was right again. The prophecy of your Lord and Savior came true. So, get on your feet and help me properly introduce your NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, Brother BTJ!!!!!






(BTJ makes his way to the ring with a big grin on his face)






Listen, I wanted to properly introduce you Brother BTJ, give you a champion’s welcome because it’s what you deserve. We have the balloons, the cake, the red carpet, and hell enough titles to warrant this celebration. I told everyone that I would bring you the World title and now look at you, standing here a proud member of The Congregation and the World Champion. Leanne’s time is coming soon as it has been written in The Book of Cross. We have proven to be one of the most dominate groups in PWA history in such a short time that it’s remarkable. We have the World Title, The Pure Title, and The Tag Team Titles. But that’s one of the reasons I went silent. Sometimes you have to sit back and admire your handy work. The Congregation is ever expanding and I noticed that we have a lot of new blood here in PWA and Cross is always watching, looking, and searching. Do one of you have what it takes to become a member of The Congregation? Only time will tell. If you have the right values and virtues to join the good guys then we will greet you with open arms.






The last thing that has had me silent is that I see the screw job coming. (Nick Cross menacingly looks at Sister Leanne then glares at Brother BTJ. A laughter follows.) I see the authority trying to screw Nick Cross. Three title matches in one night, really? I have to defend my Pure Title, the Tag Titles, and contend for Brother BTJ’s World Title. I see you trying to screw God, but what happens when God screws PWA? I am the most powerful man in this building. You want to make me irrelevant, is that what it is? You want to leave me without a title, but only mere men and women worry about Gold. Gold has never defined who Nick Cross is, while it’s nice to have, God’s don’t worry about Gold!!!!






I said I would make a name for myself: Prophecy fulfilled



I said I would win my first ever title: Prophecy fulfilled



I said I would restore prestige to the IC Title: Prophecy fulfilled



I said I would win the Money in the Bank: Prophecy fulfilled


I said I would win the A1 Climax: Prophecy fulfilled


I said I would win the World Title: Prophecy fulfilled


I said I would bring prominence to The Congregation: Prophecy fulfilled












Put the camera on my face. No matter how many obstacles you throw in my way, Nick Cross will not stop until he leaves PWA in a better place than he left it. I told you I am the hero of this story and I will stop at nothing until my last prophecy is fulfilled. I will become known as the best in PWA History and even the authority will also…….






Believe in Cross



&



Believe in The Congregation






AMEN!!!!!!!!!

[BlazeFury]

Here we are for an interview with Christian Crow. Christian... my bad. MISTER Crow, what is your strategy for the gauntlet match tonight?

You almost forgot to address me properly, Charly, and I'm really glad you remembered, because I can only remind you so many times. You know among many other great qualities, I ALSO have a great memory. I haven't forgotten Ultimo getting pinned while I was recuperating on the outside in our 3-way match with Dustin Dreamer. In MY debut match. Tonight I'm getting revenge. But he's not the only man of interest to me in this gauntlet.

Christian shifts his stare from Charly to the camera filming the interview.

Joey Spears, I hope to meet you again. And if I do, I KNOW that I will beat you again.

He looks at Charly again.

So that's what's gonna happen Charly. I'll win this match, I'll get the 100k bonus. And then I plan on getting back in the title hunt and going after the championship bonus.

Like your recently lost Pure title for example?

Taken aback, Christian pauses for a moment, irritated by the question.

I have a match to prepare for.

[Callie Clark]

Dustin Dreamer's Promo:

Dustin Dreamer and Camila are together in the back as the PWA cameras catch up to them. Camila is holding the IC Championship as Dreamer speaks to the cameras.

Tonight is a night that'll determine the future of PWA. The new stars have a chance to shine, the gold is all on the line, and the fate of Max Emory and I as a team will be determined. See I've talked to management, if Emory and I don't win back the tag titles, we're done teaming. If we win however, he proves himself worthy of a second chance from the shadow and we won't cut ties with him.

Emory looked like a good recruit, he helped us put an end to some enemies, but since then? All he's done is lose and cost us gold. 

Camila shakes her head in disgust.

So Emory, prove yourself worthy, or else.

Camila makes a cut throat motion before smirking as Dreamer speaks up again.

And then there's Frankie Romono, he held this title for almost a year straight, but this is our time to shine and bring glory to the belt, he cannot stop us. Tonight, we go to war with Frankie and only one of us is walking out with the title, was beating him a fluke? Or has a new era truly begun? Let's find out.

Frankie, let me give you some advice, if you lose tonight don't come back at us, don't do that to yourself. Cash in that briefcase of yours, go take the World Title, make yourself famous! The shadow hasn't demanded your demise, but if you come back at Dreamer and this title, it only ends one way, Dreamer as champion and you losing buckets of blood. Save yourself the pain, do the right thing.

Camila and Dreamer walk off now as the camera cuts away.

[Marcu$ $t. John]

Just when I thought the Women’s Championship had escaped me, another opportunity presented itself.

I got a chance to get back in the title picture by facing Raven in back to back weeks to see who would get this opportunity.

The point that I’m making is that one setback will lead to a greater comeback.

Ms. Cade, I’ve heard you bragging about how I haven’t beaten the “new” you.

How long do you think you can keep getting lucky before the clock strikes midnight and your Cinderella story ends?

I respect the hustle and hard work you’ve put in lately but I’ve been working just as hard to get back that title.

Every rep that I put in, every time I hit the ropes, it all builds to me becoming a 3-time Women’s Champion.

You’ve had a stellar year.

You hold the title, you hold the Money in the Bank briefcase, but at Proving Ground you’re also going to hold onto this ass whooping.

I don’t plan on leaving without that title.

So, brag on, continue to spout your accolades, go ahead and bask in the “new” you.

The time is ticking, and Misty Knight will become the Women’s Champion again.

As for Kacey Cade?

You'll just have to keep finding yourself over and over again while I continue to be the best and lead this Women's Division.

Better yet, lead the entire PWA to the greatest of heights for future generations to come.

[Callie Clark]

Kacey Cade Promo:

Well well here we are again, another PPV, another match with Misty. How many times do we need to play this game Misty? You were fun to play with, a fun rival, but at what point is enough enough? You might think it's cocky, but you can't think it's not earned. You have not proven you can beat me, and tonight will be no different. I intend to defeat you one more time and move on to my next challenger. I said I wanted to prove something with this belt but I can't do it if I'm constantly defending it vs you can I? 

Kacey shakes her head.

But you earned your shot and so be it, I will defend against you and give you the fight you deserve. Let's play one more time and see if the result is any different. This is my time to carry this division on my back and bring it to all new heights it's never reached before. You were a great champion Misty, but that's the past, and I don't like to live in the past. One more match, one more dance, let's go.

[House Hunters]

Frankie Romono: Dreamer.... Dreeeeeeamer. How is my title keeping you? More importantly, how are you keeping my title? Keeping it warm? Snuggled in tight? Thats good. That's very good. I am glad to see you enjoying yourself with my title. You need something to do while other's run the main event scene. That title in your hands has become synonymous with prestige so please don't fuck it up. And let it know it will be coming home very, very soon.

BTJ... the world title is a title I am not yet acquainted with. But that is okay, I will be meeting it very, very soon.

No one can stop the beat. Don't even try.

[House Hunters]

Sister Leanne: Dear Lord Cross is testing me with this one... A gauntlet match where I have a good pre-determined position. If I screw up and fumble this, that's yet another mistake from Dear Ol Leanne. What happened to me? How have I gotten so lost. I am in a fog and only Cross' light can shine the way but my feet don't work and the light is leaving. I have to win this match, I have to prove myself to the Cross. In The Cross I believe, In The Cross I believe. Amen.
