---------------
Fog spreads throughout the arena, covering the screaming fans as "Another Fight" begins to sound off over the loudspeakers.
"ALRIGHT, HOLD TIGHT
I'M NEVER GONNA LOSE ANOTHER FIGHT"
The fans scream for delight as the MacTron explodes to life. Pyro ignites on the stage.
The camera pans around the arena as fans scream for delight and begin their chants and raise their signs high into the air.
{Scorpio Can Eat My A$$}
{ACE KING SUCC!!!}
{JFS WON THE WAR!}
{I MISS IGGY}
{THE GUY BEHIND ME CANNOT SEE}
{HI MOM}
FN'R!!!

Martinez: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting episode of Friday Night Rampage. We are on the road to WrestleFest, but have some EWC Rumble fallout and YoungBlood build on the way there!
Loydson: Perhaps the biggest news being FNR is down to one championship, the US held by new champion Ryu Hazama.
Martinez: Quite the shift, but I am sure FNR will get back up to the top. In the meantime, we have a stacked show tonight. Including a StrangleMania rematch!
Loydson: Malone and Scorpio both looking for a rebound after losing at the rumble.
Martinez: We also have Ace King vs Gabi Vee tonight.
Loydson: Goooo Gabi. I just bought one of her new pillows.
Martinez: Those two matches and more Loydson SIMPING coming up after the break!

EB4 & Justin Paird Vs S.T.
(Tag Team Match)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Martinez: Now we have our opener folks
Loydson: Wake me when it's over.
Martinez: I thought you were a fan of S.T.?
Loydson: I can dream about them and not have to see that loser EB4.
Chriqui: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall, Introducing first, weighing in at 225 pounds... S.T.!
"Pledge Your Allegiance" by Suicidal Tendencies starts up. 12 seconds in, the "S! T!" chants start. Aoife "Banshee" Maguire takes this as her cue to walk through the curtain with bodyguard/girlfriend, Katrina "Knox" Knox, right behind her. A second later, the team known as S.T., Jackie "Bandit Layton and "Psycho" Saoirse Maguire, walk through the curtain as well. the four women make their way to the ring where banshee steps through the ropes first, the others following her in. She takes the center of the ring with Knox behind her and points to the two corners facing the camera. Bandit takes the left corner, Psycho takes the right and all four raise a fist in the air.
Martinez: S.T. are looking as confident as ever.
Loydson: Woo, lets go ladies.
Chriqui: Their opponents, Standing in the ring at 6'3" and weighing 230lbs., from New Orleans, Louisiana... "Blessed" ... JUSTIN PAIRD! AND Standing in the ring at 5'10" and weighing 174lbs., EB4!
Justin and EB4 enter to a mix of their respective themes. They ignore the crowd and head straight o the ring for a fight.
DING DING DING
This one started off hot with EB4 and Bandit going at each other. Bandit got the upperhand quickly after some stiff elbows and kicks, but EB4 would get back into this one with a pele kick. EB4 hit an enziguri and a piledriver and attempted a pinfall but Bandit kicked out at two. EB4 tagged out to Justin Paird as the five minute mark rolled out. Just hit Bandit with a DDT, or at least attempted. Bandit rolled out and landed on her knees before jumping into a quick dropkick. She tags out.
Martinez: S.T. are standing tall early on in this one.
Loydson: I always did like taller women.
Psycho and Justin brawled for a few minutes but his striking could not keep up with hers. Psycho quickly took the advantage and began to wail away on Justin. EB4 tried to come in for the save but on the outside Bandit pulled him down into a facebuster followed by her own barrage of strikes. Bandit rolls into the ring just as Psycho shoves Justin back, they go for Stealing Sanity but Justin jumps to the side, double clothesline! Bandit is up, Justin kicks her backwards where EB4 is waiting, he flips into the piledriver! Fixer Upper! Justin pulls Psycho up and hits her with his Round The World Alabama Slam. He covers
ONE
TWO
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall... JUSTIN PAIRD!
Martinez: A big win for this newly minted tag team.
Justin and EB4 celebrate their win while S.T. head to the back.
Loydson: S.T. were robbed, shouldn't EB4 have been DQed there. ROBBED!
Martinez: What? You cannot just tell the winners good job?
Loydson: ROBBED!
Martinez: Alright... well don't go anywhere folks. We have more after the break.
MATCH #2
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal Vs Eddie Dozier
(Singles Match)

Alex "Bullet" Carbajal Vs Eddie Dozier
(Singles Match)
(Ref: Mike Michaelson)
Martinez: Welcome back to Rampage, folks! We're moving onto our second bout of the night, going onto another fight involving yet another Shieldmaiden! Brawl's very own Eddie Dozier versus Alex "Bullet" Carbajal!
Loydson: Meh. I'd prefer watching Sam.
Martinez: The Titaness is likely taking a break from the aftermath of the Rumble.
Loydson: I hope that's all it is! We need more Tits N Ass, not this mediocre crap!
Martinez: Excuse my colleague, folks. But for real, Loydson, she likely will be back sooner than later. And who knows? Maybe this will be entertaining in some form or fashion.
Loydson: I doubt it, but fine. I'll let the rookie see if she can prove herself.
Martinez: Let's get this match going, shall we? Take us away, Chriqui!
Images of rain falling on cement are seen on the big screen as "Raining Blood" by Slayer begins to play. When the guitar riffs begin, the lights in the arena turn yellow. Eddie Dozier steps out from the back to a loud chorus of boos. Dozier has a look of disgust on his face as he bends down and starts rocking back and forth.
As Dozier stretches out his arms and wipes down his vest, he calmly walks down to the ring, ignoring all of the haters.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Ladies and gentlemen. It is the EWC's privilege to bring to you the next nightmare of this great company. Weighing in at 255 pounds. Louisville, Kentucky's finest. EDDIE DOZIER!
Dozier smirks at the rowdy boos when his name is announced. He climbs up onto the apron and enters the ring through the ropes. He walks around the ring and yells out into the crowd as they boo louder. With a smirk, he steps into the corner to wait for his opponent.
Martinez: Tonight is Dozier's Rampage debut. He hasn't had many matches in the EWC yet, but he hasn't looked half-bad from what we have witnessed.
Loydson: I'll be more impressed if he can beat someone in the upper echelon ranks.
Martinez: Either way, this'll be huge for both Eddie and Bullet tonight. One is making their first appearance here, the other has the chane to keep their momentum going.
Loydson: I doubt Bullet will be able to hit her mark, but who knows? Maybe she can prove me wrong? She damn well better. Rampage for the win, let's go!
Chriqui: His opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing in at 135 pounds... ALEX "BULLET" CARBAJAL!
The lights dim and the Shieldmaidens motto “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here!” comes over the Tron as guitar stabs ring out. Concrete Blonde’s “God Is A Bullet” starts up in earnest and Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton, Jackie “Bandit” Layton, “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire, Aoife “Banshee” Maguire and Katrina "Knox" Knox walk out seemingly leading the way for their sixth sister. Alex “Bullet” Carbajal makes her way out in a full length boxing robe, ready for war. The Shieldmaidens make their way to the ring and Bullet steps in, starting to shadowbox the second she steps in. She raises her hands into the air and then nods, ready to go.
DING DING DING
Eddie wastes no time in bringing his own 'big guns' in, so to speak. He charges forward, attempting to lunge at Bullet with a vicious Spear. But like a matador would do against a bull, she sidesteps gracefully out of the way. Eddie snarls, not bothering to hide his annoyance. He then proceeds to jump towards her again.
This time, though, he finds his mark and lands on top of Alex. He begins going to town on her face and arms with the Thesz Press, numerous punches accompanying him while he remains on top of Bullet's midsection.
One punch becomes five rapid, hard-hitting ones. Before it can reach ten, though, Bullet sees an opening. She kicks Eddie's knee hard with her boot, as he's just barely elevated enough for her to sneak her own hit in.
Eddie rolls off of Bullet, holding his knee in agony. He shoots a hole through Alex, who simply returns the gesture, refusing to back down. Slowly, they begin standing back up to their feet.
Martinez: Size wise, Eddie is the winner here. But we've seen our share of instances like this, particularly involving other Shieldmaidens. Bullet did the smart thing and kept her cool despite being repeatedly - and likely brutally - punched.
Loydson: That's only the battle she's won. Let's see if the rook can win tonight's war!
Although Dozier is the first to stand back up, it's Alex who makes hte first move. When she gets up in front of Eddie, she grabs his arms, using them to pull him so he's closer to her height.
Dozier tries to straighten himself up, but Bullet uses her agility to finish with her plan. Once his shoulders are in reach, she grabs them and pulls him down even further, driving a knee hard into his gut.
Eddie's eyes widen as he slumps onto the canvas. Bullet rolls him onto his stomach and locks Plata O Plomo (Legtrap Camel Clutch) in!
Unfortunately, the size and strength difference help Dozier in rather easily powering out of the technique, though it's clear it wasn't done without some backlash. He manages to stand up, albeit somewhat shakily. Even though the submission wasn't locked in for long, it seems to have done some damage to Eddie's leg.
As Eddie looks for Alex, he finds her. On top of the upper right turnbuckle. She flashes a coy smirk at him and leaps off, trying to hit him with an aerial version of her Cabacera (Soccer Headbutt) maneuver!
Unfortunately, Eddie's not as slow as Bullet was hoping for. He thinks quickly enough to catch her in midair and slam her down onto the mat with a massive Powerbomb! He chuckles sadistically, enjoying the sight of his work. His leg buckles, threatening to give away, but he ignores it for the time being.
He then turns his attention to the other Maidens, almost trying to dare any of them to come in and 'save' Bullet.
Loydson: Damn straight! Get in there! I bet you could handle this fool with a blindfold on!
Martinez: Even if you're right, that's not how the Shieldmaidens work. They may help one another out, sure, but intervening is only done when it's absolutely necessary.
Loydson: Wouldn't now be one of those times?! If not now, when?!
Martinez: Just hush and keep watching the match. Bullet may have been slammed down, but she's by no means out of this fight. Look!
Sure enough, Bullet finally conjures enough energy to stir and roll away. Before she can get too much distance from Eddie, though, a boot slams into her side, kicking at the downed Maiden.
Now a few, including The Titaness, do look a bit more ready to get involved.
But Bullet shakes her head, insisting they don't need to do such a thing.
Somewhat reluctantly, everyone heeds her response. Dozier's grin widens as he wraps his hands around Alex's throat and hoists her up with ease. He begins to throw her right bacl down via a Chokeslam, but Bullet interrupts him!
A slightly modified and elevated Dios Es Una Bala (Ripcord Rolling Elbow) lands on Dozier's temple!
He lets go of the Shieldmaiden, looking less than pleased at this point. Done are the games as he Irish Whips Alex into the ropes, greeting her on the return with a Big Boot! He then lifts the dazed woman up! The End (F5)!
Eddie covers!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall ... EDDIE DOZIER!
Martinez: Well, everyone, next will be ... what the??
The other Shieldmaidens have entered the ring to check up on Bullet. Eddie basks in the spotlight, enjoying the victory he won. However, that doesn't seem to be enough for him. He turns and tries to shove the other women aside in hopes of getting to Bullet and beating her even more.
Loydson seems to get what he wants as Samantha easily shields the others, being the tallest among the other Shieldmaidens. She points outside the ring, glaring angrily at Dozier. He simply chuckles, refusing to immediately leave.
Sam nods, acknowledging his response ... and replies by kicking his wounded knee! He then hoists him up, using the fact he lost balance and was brought down to her height, and is slammed back down with Zeus' Wrath (One-Winged Angel)!
The crowd roars in approval, glad and happy to see that despite a tough loss, her fire has definitely not vanished. Sam once again points outside the ring. Though the mics don't pic up what she says, we can guess it's something along the lines of 'Leave while you still can'.
Eddie scoffs but heeds The Titaness' words.
Sam stays in the ring, making sure no further ambush attempts are made while Dozier leaves. Meanwhile, the others help Alex to her feet, and begin guiding her backstage.
Loydson: Hell yeah! That's one of my girls!
Martinez: She's still married, remember? Anyway, take nothing away from Bullet. She put up a hell of a fight tonight, let alone against someone larger than herself.
Loydson: Fine, fine. She may not have gotten the W, but I suppose she wasn't half-bad to watch fight.
Martinez: As I was going to say, join us for our third match. We're gonna --
Before Martinez can finish, Sam holds her hand up, beckoning for a mic. The crowd cheers as she takes it and first flashes a more stoic look towards the audience.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: If anyone still wants to think we're not a family, unit, or any crap like that ... well ... consider that theory debunked! Alas though, that is not the main thing I intended to talk to you all about. So ...
Sam paces inside the ring, gathering her words. She swallows, actually looking a bit nervous, and proceeds to talk.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: It's no secret that nothing went well for me at The Rumble. And it's exactly because of that reason, I'm going to offer everyone a preemptive apology. I'm going to do something that many of you may not like, nor approve of. It'll honestly probably put me in a different light, and ... I won't blame anyone for not wanting to support me after this.
Everyone seems to assume the worst, as a "DON'T LEAVE!" chant starts up. Samantha offers them all a reassuring grin, moving her head from side to side.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: I can safely promise you all for free that's definitely not what I have in mind. But some could argue I have in other ways ...
Sam sighs, eliciting a deep breath, before looking back towards the audience.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: Everything will be revealed in due time. At the very next Rampage, in fact. Just know in advance ... I needed to do this. For now though, enjoy the rest of the show! I'll definitely be in the ring in two weeks!
Camera fades.
MATCH #3
Asriel Buzzard Vs Nika Kosov
(Singles Match)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Asriel Buzzard Vs Nika Kosov
(Singles Match)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Martinez: Welcome back, up next we’ve got a clash of some new blood on Rampage! Asriel and Nika Kosov will go head to head right here right now!
Loydson: Let’s see if these kids can handle it on the elite brand in the EWC.
Martinez: Well Asriel was very impressive last time out on Rampage scoring the pinfall in a fatal four way match up and he performed well in the rumble.
Loydson: Ha! Give me a break. He was eliminated by Phoenix Winterborn, it doesn’t get more embarrassing than that.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall Introducing first, from Hill City, Kansas... weighing in at 190 pounds... ASRIELLLLLLL!!!
“Is There Anybody Out There?” by Machine head plays as Asriel makes his way to the ring.
Chriqui: His opponent weighing in at 145 pounds... NIKA KOSOV!!!!
Beautiful people plays as Kosov makes her way to the ring.
DING DING DING
Its a frantic start to the match as both Asriel and Kosov come at each other trading back and forth stiff upper body shots. Kosov takes a step back and goes for a kick but Asriel expertly catches her leg mid air and in one fluid motion he spins around, picking Kosov up and dropping her back first onto his knee. With Kosov on the floor, Asriel then locks her in a Single leg boston crab. Asriel applies as much pressure to the hold as he can but Kosov manages to reach out and get a hand on the bottom ring rope. Asriel doesn’t let go of the hold until the last possible second and then he gives Kosov a nasty kick to the back of the head. The ref gives Asriel a warning as he laughs and innocently holds his hands up in the air.
Martinez: Asriel is so aggressive! He could’ve been disqualified for not letting go of that submission hold and that punt to the back of the head was sickening!
Loydson: I’m starting to warm to this guy. I like his style.
As Asriel pulls Kosov up to her feet by the hair she suddenly sweeps his legs from underneath him, then with Asriel on the mat she leaps backwards and hits a standing moonsault on her opponent. Kosov then grabs Asriels leg and attempts to lock in her figure four finisher she calls Kosov-4 but as she spins around Asriel uses his free foot to push her away. As Kosov stumbles forward Asriel leaps to his feet and charges at her but she ducks passed him and sprints off of the opposite ring ropes. Coming back at him at full speed, Kosov hits a spear on Asriel! She goes for the pin but Asriel kicks out at two and a half much to Kosovo’s astonishment.
Martinez: OH MY! I thought the Kosov Queen had snatched the win right there!
Loydson: Judging by the look on her face so did she!
Kosov stalks Asriel, waiting till he’s back on his feet she goes for her signature Black-flip Drop Kick but Asriel dodges the kick at the last minute and with Kosov now laying back first on the mat Asriel leaps high in the air bringing his two feet straight down onto the chest of Kosov! Kosov looks as if she can’t breath as Asriel suddenly grabs her and locks in his Rear Naked Choke hold! Kosov looks like she’s fading as the crowd tries to will her to fight on! Kosov throws back an elbow in desperation which catches Asriel on the head making him let go of the choke hold.
Kosov slowly gets to her feet but she’s holding her chest and still struggling to breath which gives Asriel enough time to spring forward and smash her in the face with his super kick that he calls The Redeemer. Asriel isn’t done there though as he catches Kosov before she falls, picking her up and planting her back on the mat with his finisher The Survival. Asriel makes the pin and gets the three count.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall... ASRIELLLLLLLLL!!!!!
As the ref checks on a hurt looking Kosov, Asriel suddenly gives her a sly kick to the head. The ref gets in Asriels face as he grins and exits the ring.
Martinez: Was there any need for that kick at the end there? Asriel has already won the match! He’s just adding insult to injury right there by trying to hurt Nika Kosov even more than he already has. Disgusting behavior!!!
Loydson: Oh calm down snowflake. This is Rampage! It’s survival of the fittest around these parts and Asriel has taken a huge step tonight in proving that he is the fittest in this jungle!
Martinez: What are you rambling on about? He took a cheap shot at a downed opponent. Anyway I’m sure Nika Kosov will be back better than ever after tonight. Now we will be right back at you with more rampant rampage action after this short break.
Martinez: Well folks we’re headed backstage where I’m told Brian Spade is stood by with the EWC’s President, the one and only Mac!
There’s a cheer from the crowd as the Mac-Tron comes to life and the cheer gets even louder as we see Brian Spade stood next to Danny Mac himself. The President smiles and gives a nod to the crowd as a chant of “Mac! Mac! Mac!” goes up. Eventually they quieten down.
Spade: President Mac thank you for joining me – I wanted to get your thoughts following the Rumble In South Africa…
Mac: Brian it was a hell of a night, wasn’t it? Few would have predicted Stitches’ victory in the main event and yet here we are. We’ve got a new X-Division Champion in Killjoy Ito, we saw an incredible Candy Castle Match with Candy retaining, and Nezumi Hazama has scored gold after one of the best rookie runs we’ve ever seen. The world was on tenterhooks in that ladder match and cheered the roof off the arena when Xavier Reid retained the Undisputed Championship, and I must say it was amazing to get the chance to climb back between the ropes and be in the thick of the action during the Battle of The GMs.
Spade: Speaking of Xavier Reid’s retention; we’ve heard Reid’s opponent that night have a lot to say about the role of you and the ‘powers that be’ in that match… anything you want to say back at Scorpio?
Mac: You know at Scars and Stripes I told Scorpio I’d be glad to address his problems with my company and me in any way he saw fit, but even since July he’s spiralled so far out of control I don’t even think his entourage buy his claims anymore. I think maybe the best way to handle someone like the S-Factor is to treat him like a wildfire; try and mitigate any damage it can do elsewhere and just let it burn itself out…
The fans cheer loudly as Spade nods his head.
Spade: And what about being in the thick of it as the referee for the GMs match? Has it inspired President Mac to dust off the boots and get back into it?!
An even louder cheer goes up as Mac laughs a little to himself. He pats Spade on the shoulder and grins.
Mac: You know I’ve always said I’m here as the man to run the company and let the talented men and women of Rampage, Brawl, FSW, and Prime do their thing without being their competition, and I will always stand by that statement… but I must say it’s kinda tempting after being under those spotlights. So much so on the upcoming Brawl in Nashville I’m gonna give an up-and-comer the chance of a lifetime to join the EWC roster… if he can beat me one-on-one. For one night only President Mac’s gonna lace up the boots and throws some shots in the ring!
The crowd go wild at the idea as President Mac lowers his sunglasses and nods to the camera. Brian Spade looks wide-eyed at the announcement, and at having scored the journalistic scoop, before the Mac-Tron fades out and the camera pans around the fans.
Martinez: Oh my God! For one night only President Mac is getting into the squared circle for a match!
Loydson: Typical Mac bias giving that sort of a historic moment to Monday Night Brawl… of course he is… Scorpio’s been right all along…
MATCH #4
Ace King Vs Gabrielle Visconty
(Singles Match)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
Ace King Vs Gabrielle Visconty
(Singles Match)
(Ref: Pierce Patterson)
The lights dim as a single spot light shines on the entrance. Halestorm's "I Am The Fire" begins to play as the Mac-Tron lights up to display the lyrics.
Am I brave enough?
Am I strong enough?
To follow the desire
That burns from within
Am I strong enough?
To follow the desire
That burns from within
To push away my fear
To stand where I'm afraid
I am through with this
'Cause I am more than this
To stand where I'm afraid
I am through with this
'Cause I am more than this
Gabrielle Visconty walks out of the back and stops at the top of the ramp. Her blue eyes scan over the area as the fans welcome Gabi Vee with cheers. A huge grin spreads across her face as she walks down the ramp and towards the ring. The lyrics continue to follow along on the Mac-Tron.
Cuz I am more than this
I promise to myself
Alone and no one else
My flame is rising higher
I am the fire
I am burning brighter
Roaring like a storm
And I am the one I've been waiting for
Screaming like a siren
Alive and burning brighter
I am the fire
I promise to myself
Alone and no one else
My flame is rising higher
I am the fire
I am burning brighter
Roaring like a storm
And I am the one I've been waiting for
Screaming like a siren
Alive and burning brighter
I am the fire
Chriqui: Introducing first...from Indianapolis, Indiana...weighing at 136 pounds...she is the Angel...GABRIELLE VISCONTY!
Loydson: Good ol' Gabi Vee. She got her ass kicked by an angry Scorpio, now it's time for her to fight Ace. Huh. I think management likes to use her as the scapegoat--the proverbial punching bag for recent ex-champions.
Martinez: Don't subscribe to the rumor mill, Loydson. Gabi Vee's being presented with another opportunity. If she can defeat Ace King, then she'll definitely be the minds of everyone when we get closer to WrestleFest. Maybe a X-Division title shot is in her future if she wins here.
Gabi slaps hands and interacts with the crowd before she hops up nimbly onto the edge of the ring to smile out at the crowd once more. Gabi turns and springboard herself into the ring, then venturing over to her corner.
The crowd hears Lemmy's growl, and they go nuts as the opening bass line to 'Ace of Spades' rips through the Chase Center. 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 221 pounds... He is THE GAMBLER... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!
Martinez: It's important to note that Ace King may not be 100% both mentally and physically. He lost his gold and lost an important match that tries to further the idea that he's close to done.
Loydson: It's a shame that Gabi Vee has to be the one to get her head split for other people's stupidity. He's one of the best ever here in the EWC. Why the hell would he be done?
There's a huge explosion as the guitar kicks in, and the crowd roars as a slightly frail-looking Ace King emerges through the smoke of the pyro and into the spotlights, not registering the ovation the way he did before. 'The Gambler' stays for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and walking to the ring, his eyes locked on the ring as he's oblivious to the fans applauding him.
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 while awaiting his opponent.
DING DING DING
Visconty and King make their rounds in the ring before meeting in the center. Instead of a lock-up, Visconty flew at King with a flying forearm. Taking him down, Visconty uses the earlier momentum to run towards the ropes. King gets up and catches a handspring back elbow that sends him out of the ring. Visconty’s already heading for the ropes. She comes out onto him with a Slingshot Corkscrew Plancha, catching the former X-Division Champion further off-guard. Visconty climbs onto the ring apron, waiting for King to get to his feet. When he does, she runs off, trying for a Seated Senton, but King catches her. She sends her into the apron, halting every part of her offense and sends her back into the ring. He follows in and catches her rising with a kick right to the chest. Visconty clutches her chest, having got caught in-between breaths.
King grabs her and takes her to the ground with a Vertical Suplex. As Visconty’s recovering, King hits the ropes and hits a hesitation dropkick to the side of her head, sending her onto the ring apron. Following her, King goes to grab her. Visconty throws a back elbow to try to catch him, but he ducks it. Lifting her up, King then drops his foe onto her spine on the apron! The crowd cringes, but they haven't seen anything yet. As he pulls her to a standing position, he hooks both arms and tries for a Tiger Suplex into the ring apron, but Visconty manages to wriggle out before the impact. She stumbles into the commentary table, and King’s hot on her tracks. She sends a kick to his gut, preventing any further attack. Seeing this, she leaps on top of the table and leaps off with a lightning quick Moonsault, taking King down.
Loydson: There’s no reason for her to be this quick.
Martinez: Truth be told, I think she has gotten even faster!
Re-entering the ring, Visconty looks to go for another dive to the outside, but when King reacts, she hits the ropes with a Tiger Feint. King enters the ring, seeing the sliver of an opening. Visconty comes back at him with a Springboard Elbow Smash, but King catches her. He transitions his hold on her into another Vertical Suplex but opts to rebound her off the ropes. Yet, it’s the additional move that lets Visconty find the wherewithal to counter. She slips over King and secures the beginning of a rear-naked choke. Noting this, King rushes into the turnbuckle, smashing Visconty against it. She releases the hold and eats a roundhouse kick that drops her to the ground.
King pulls her away from the ropes and begins to work her over with a grounded Abdominal Stretch. Visconty kicks her legs out, trying to reach for the ropes, but to no avail. When she begins to drag herself closer, King rolls backward, twisting Visconty’s body back with him. The referee asks if she’s going to submit, and gets an immediate “no.”
Loydson: It’s better to tap out now than to get your arms ripped out of socket. Don’t be stupid, girl!
King continues to wrench the hold until Visconty plants her feet and throws herself back, managing to plant King’s shoulders against the mat.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Martinez: A clever transition from Visconty!
King makes the decision to release the hold. Visconty rolls away, using the ropes as safety. Yet, it doesn’t last as King brings her away and lifts her up. He shoves her down and easily lifts her up for a powerbomb. Visconty drives her fist into his face. It softens King up and she uses her newfound leverage to twist around the former X-Division Champion and plant him with a Reverse Frankensteiner. King’s head spikes into the mat and he falls onto his feet. As Visconty gets up, she turns to catch a vicious lariat, an instinctive reaction from King. He then falls to the mat, disoriented from the impact. Visconty curls up, trying to divert the pain through her body.
She’s the first to make it to her feet, using the ropes for leverage. Nodding, she hops onto the top rope and comes towards King with a springboard moonsault. King rolls away, but Visconty lands her feet. She stumbles into the ropes and spots King making it to his feet. Visconty runs at him, looking to try to take him down. Spotting this at the last moment, King fully evades, rolling underneath her. When he’s to his feet again, he doesn’t spot Visconty weaving through the ropes. By the time, he turns, she’s up and down with Wrath (Springboard Spinning Heel Kick)! King falls to the mat and she dives onto him for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Loydson: I thought I saw King’s eyes roll to the back of his head.
Martinez: Even if they did, his body knew what it had to do.
Visconty slaps the mat and gets to her feet. She looks to the top rope but shakes her head. She takes King’s leg into her hand and applies a rare Muta Lock! King sparks to life, feeling the acute pain of strangulation and his neck being cranked. He reaches for the ropes that aren't there. Visconty’s flexibility allows her to get a deeper clutch on King. However, he doesn’t give up. He crawls at Visconty’s hands, realizes that isn’t going to cut it, and opts for the technical maneuver. He moves his legs around, trying to upset Visconty’s balance. Soon, he has her deciding between keeping the arms around his neck or her balance. She chooses the choke, but King’s able to move his legs and make her slip.
Loydson: Jesus, the strength!
Visconty, unable to continue her trajectory, falls directly into the High Roller (Double Knee Facebuster)! Visconty falls off King’s knees, holding her mouth. King looks ready to bring her down with the Blackjack Bomb, but instead, he climbs the second turnbuckle. Waiting, he takes aim with his hands. When Visconty gets to her feet, he dives off and connects with the Wild Card (Panama Sunrise)! Spiking Visconty’s head into the mat, King hooks the legs.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Here is your winner by pinfall…ACE KING!
Loydson: Wow! The strength right into the high-risk move! I bet he was sending a message to Visconty!
Martinez: It’s very possible but it doesn’t matter right now. Ace King’s back on his winning ways, bouncing back after the hard championship loss. Never count out the Gambler!
King decides to leave the ring after getting his arm raised. He stares back at Visconty, who was getting up. He registers the disappointment in her face, and he motions that she was that close. Visconty shakes her head in defeat and watches as the Gambler goes backstage. The camera then cuts to another area.
"Queen" Melody Malone Vs "President" Scorpio
(No Disqualification Match)

(No Disqualification Match)
(Ref: Toyo Yasahiro)
Martinez: I only have one question for everyone watching at home... are you ready to watch the new chapter of one of the hottest and most personal feuds of the last couple of years here in the EWC? I know you are cause it’s Queen versus President... it’s Melody Malone... it’s Scorpio... ohhhh yeh baby it’s main event time!!!!!
Loydson: Your enthusiasm sickens me.
Martinez: How can you not be excited about this main event? We’re getting a stranglemania rematch! Two of the biggest and nastiest competitors in the EWC today are about to once again beat the complete crap out of each other in a No Disqualification rules match.
Loydson: I can’t lie seeing these two try and kill each other never gets old. I wonder if President Mac is watching, Scorpio has had to lot to say about him after all.
Chriqui: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is a No Disqualification Match...
The lights dim, but don’t go dark before the soft words of Billie Eilish begin to play over the P.A. system.
Bite my tongue bide my time
Wearing a warning sign
Wait till the world is mine
Visions I vandalize
Cold in my kingdom size
Fell for these ocean eyes
As the chorus hits, a bright flash of pyro explodes from the base of the Mac Tron and Melody Malone stands on the stage. Melody stands with her head held high as a spotlight follows her down to the ring.
Chriqui: Making her way to the ring… she is the Siren of Scorn… MELODY MALONE!
You should see me in a crown
I'm gonna run this nothing town
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by
Malone climbs the stairs and steps through with her chin held up high. She gives the crowd a sarcastic smile as they give her a heavy dose of adulation.
You should see me in a crown
Your silence is my favorite sound
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by one
The lights come back up to full brightness, and Melody has her gloves tugged into place as she rakes her hair back and prepares for her opponent.
Chriqui: Her opponent... Please welcome, from London, England by way of Washington DC, weighing in at 205 lbs... 'The S-Factor'... 'The 46th President of The United States'... 'The Baddest Bitch On The Planet'... 'The Commander-In-Chief'... the allegedly 'true' EWC United States Champion AND the allegedly 'rightful' EWC Undisputed Champion... SCORPIO!
'Hail To The Chief' plays and the crowd begin to boo knowing who's coming out. Slowly a number of The President's Men, Scorpio's band of bodyguards, march out from the back and line the stage and ramp ahead of the 46th President's arrival. The final one waves the Star-Spangled Banner as the music fades...
'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 cutting a beautiful silhouette. He sashays forward, a long coat dripping in jewels swaying with every step. Behind him steps Crème de la Crème, Scorpio's drag queen confidant and manager. The two look to one another and nod, before Scorpio opens his coat and drops it to the floor, revealing another stunning outfit. He steps down the ramp with a confident strut, emulating that of the catwalk models of Paris and Milan, before reaching the ring. Scorpio climbs up one set of steps as Crème climbs the other, parting the ropes to allow 'The S-Factor'' in. Stepping into the middle of the ring Scorpio raises one arm, and blows a kiss with the other, a smile forming on his beautifully made-up face.
DING DING DING
Malone and Scorpio go head to head exchanging words that the camera doesn’t quite pick up. Scorpio then slaps Malone across the face hard enough to make the crowd wince. Malone stumbles back slightly and wipes a hand across her mouth which is slightly bleeding now as Scorpio continues to talk smack to her with a smug look on his face. Malone charges at Scorpio tackling him hard as they both fall through the middle ropes to the outside. The fans are going wild as both competitors roll around on the floor punching into each other.
Martinez: Here we go!! Strap in folks because this one is about to get messy.
Malone and Scorpio both get to there feet and step back at either side of the ramp, never taking there eyes off of each other and after a brief moment of eyeballing they go at each other once more, coming to blows and grabbing each other by the hair as they trade straight punches to the face. Scorpio pulls Malone’s hair back and brings an elbow down on her throat. Malone collapses to her knees, holding her throat as Scorpio grabs her head with both hands and drives his knee viciously into her face. Malone’s nose bursts open as Scorpio holds her in position with a sick smile across his face.
Martinez: I would go ahead and stop this match right here right now before someone’s career ends tonight.
Loydson: Don’t be a pussy! These two put the E in EWC!! This is entertainment!
With Malone still on her knees, Scorpio realizes he has some of her blood on his hands. With a disgusted look plastered on his mush he wipes his hands across Malone’s face when all of a sudden she comes to life and reaches one hand in between his legs and grabs a hold of his Crown Jewels.
Loydson: What the F... Melody has Scorpios by the balls!!!
Martinez: Literally!
Malone squeezes her hand that’s clamped on his balls tightly as the color from Scorpios face drains away. Scorpio wildly throws a punch at Malone but she ducks it and springs up, the top of her head connecting with Scorpios chin as he stumbles backwards. Malone then grabs a hold of Scorpios head and using the fan barricade she hits a springboard bulldog with Scorpio landing face first on the steel ramp.
Malone picks Scorpio up to his feet and you can see his forehead is cut open with blood trickling down his face as she whips him hard into the fan barricade. Scorpios back smashes off of the metal as he cry’s out in pain. Malone takes a second to wipe the blood away from her own face before she takes a run at Scorpio, however he reads her like a book and ducks down at the right moment, back body dropping her high over the fan barricade. The crowd in the first few rows scatter as Malone crashes onto the empty chairs.
Martinez: Ouch! That’s gotta hurt!! How far are these two going to go, when does enough become enough?!
Scorpio composes himself and gives his sore balls a rub before he climbs onto the barricade. He stands up straight and sizes up Malone as she tries to get to her feet. Scorpio leaps from the barricade towards her but it’s Malone’s turn to read him perfectly and in one swift movement she swings a chair around which connects hard with Scorpios body in mid air. He lands on the floor with a sickening thud. Creme can be seen standing nearby with a worried look on his face.
Martinez: These two know each other inside and out, they can almost sense what the other is about to do!
Malone picks Scorpio up to his feet and throws him back over the barricade to the outside of the ring.. Scorpio crawls to the ring apron and reaches underneath, just as Malone gets close to him he spins around and blasts her in the face with a fire extinguisher! Malone is blinded as Scorpio cracks her across the head with the extinguisher. Malone looks to be out cold as Scorpio picks her up and rolls her into the ring. Once he’s back in the ring Scorpio sweeps a hand across his forehead and stares at the blood that comes off of it, this seems to send him into a rage, his face contorted with anger as he gets on top of Malone and strikes her repeatedly across the face. Scorpio gets to his feet and shouts instructions towards Creme who disappears underneath the ring apron for a moment before reappearing with a long square object that has a white bedsheet draped across it.
Loydson: What the hell did Creme just pull from under the ring? It looks like a large painting!
Scorpio picks the object up, his wicked grin growing larger by the second as he takes the sheet off revealing a large frame. Inside the frame is picture a smartly dressed Scorpio posing with the words “All hail the one true president of the EWC.” Creme claps and whistles loudly on the outside but the fans don’t share his excitement as there jeers engulf the arena. As Scorpio raises the picture high in the air Malone pounces forward, catching him between the legs with a low blow. Scorpio drops to his knees once more holding his jewels. Malone pulls herself to her feet and grabs a hold of the picture frame, giving it a quick glance before raising it in the air and bringing it down on Scorpios head shattering the glass across his skull.
Loydson: That’s just disrespectful by Malone!
Martinez: Nothing about this match is respectful. Notice how neither one of them has went for a pin on the other yet! They just want to hurt each other. This all stems back to Stranglemania! The hatred between the two is stronger than ever.
Malone drags Scorpio to his feet and then plants him back onto the mat with the Crowning Achievement. The Siren of Scorn then climbs up to the top turnbuckle, positioning herself and waiting patiently for Scorpio to get up. Suddenly Creme is on the ring apron and he’s got a hold of one of Malone’s legs. Malone eventually pulls her leg free of Cremes grasp, she then catches him with a sharp kick to the face that sends him flying off the ring apron. This has given Scorpio enough time to come to his senses and get to his feet, as he rushes to the corner and with one big leap he’s on the top turnbuckle with Malone. Before she knows what’s happening, Scorpio grabs a hold of her head and leaps from the top towards the mat below hitting his finisher the AGR!
Martinez: A top rope AGR! It’s all over!
Malone is completely out of it but the fall has taken a lot out of Scorpio aswell as he lays on his back breathing heavy. Scorpio eventually rolls over and throws an arm across Malone’s chest as the ref makes the count...

THRE....The ref breaks the pin up! Scorpio stares up at him in anger and disbelief, until he seems that Malone has somehow managed to place her foot on the bottom rope. Scorpio bangs his fists on the mat in frustration before getting to his feet and grabbing the ref by the collar. After shouting something about that being a three count in the refs face Scorpio again looks to the outside and makes eye contact with Creme, this time he doesn’t have to give an instruction as his confidant goes behind the time keeper area and pulls out Scorpios favorite weapon.
Loydson: It’s Vidal! I was wondering when that thing would show up. Malone’s in trouble now.
Scorpio with Vidal in hand approaches Malone, but instead of hitting her with the bejeweled hairdryer he wraps the cord around her neck and starts to strangle her with it. The crowd gasps in horror and even the referee thinks this is to much as he tries to stop Scorpio but this only makes him more angry as he lets go of the cord and shoves the referee to the mat before continuing to choke the life out of Malone once more.
Loydson: Why is the referee getting involved? Does he not understand what no disqualification means!
Martinez: Oh I don’t know... here’s a thought... maybe he doesn’t want to see a murder take place in the middle of the ring!
Malone seems to realize that she’s starting to fade and in a desperate attempt to break free she lifts her legs high in the air using Scorpios
body as leverage she kicks out at the ring ropes and pushes herself and Scorpio backwards. They both fall down with Malone rolling backwards over Scorpios body and inadvertently pinning his shoulders to the mat. The ref slides across the ring and makes the count...

TH.... Scorpio kicks out! Both competitors scramble to there feet and as Scorpio spins around with Vidal in his hand Malone kicks him in the gut causing him to drop the hairdryer, she then hooks her arm around his neck and plants him head first straight down onto Vidal with her Spike DDT finisher she calls nightmare fuel!
Martinez: A Spike DDT right on top of that hairdryer! NOW it’s surely all over!
Malone covers Scorpio as the ref quickly counts...

THRE...the pin is suddenly broke up as Creme reaches under the bottom rope and grabs a hold of Scorpios legs yanking him out of the ring!
Martinez: Oh surprise surprise, Crème de la Crème saving the day for Scorpio!
Loydson: That referee was counting too fast for my liking anyway! Something fishy going on there.
Creme helps Scorpio up the ramp as it looks like they’re walking out on the match but Malone isn’t having any of it as she slides out of the ring and charges towards them but it’s all a ruse as Scorpio spins aprons and tries to hit Malone with a clothesline, she’s ducks under the arm and catches him with a jumping knee to the face as Scorpio stumbles back towards the ring.
Once they’re back inside the ring Malone and Scorpio use every last ounce of energy they have to pummel into each other’s faces with back and forth punches which gets the crowd on there feet. Scorpio whips Melody off of the ropes, as she comes back at him Scorpio goes for the Glitterazi but Melody athletically slides underneath his arm as he misses her by inches. As Scorpio turns around Melody reaches forward and stabs a thumb straight into his right eye. Scorpio falls back against the ring ropes in pain as he struggles to see proper. Malone wastes no time, pouncing to the top turnbuckle then leaping off, she tries to catch her off with their head finisher but Scorpio pulls off a super kick catching Malone on side of the face in mid air! Scorpio picks Malone from the mad up and plants her back down again with his finisher The Heel Turn!! Scorpio makes the pin...

DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall.... SCORPIOOOOOOO!!!!!
Martinez: Wow that was a hell of a match and a big win for the former Undisputed champion Scorpio!!!!
Scorpio slides out of the ring covered in blood as he rubs his eye, Creme helps him up the ramp while the ref checks on Melody Malone inside the ring.
Loydson: That referee could have cost Scorpio the match if you ask me! Wonder if he’s on President Macs payroll.
Martinez: Aren’t we all?
Loydson: Melody Malone won’t take this loss lying down.
Martinez: I don’t doubt that but tonight is Scorpio’s night as he looks to put his undisputed title loss behind him! I can tell you one thing though, this war between Scorpio and Melody Malone isn’t over... maybe it’s only just begun. We are out of time folks, thanks for joining us, goodnight!
Melody Malone stumbles her way to the back before cutting one more look at Scorpio. He blows her a kiss.
The crowd are still going wild for the main event match as Melody Malone disappears to the back leaving Scorpio in the middle of the ring. Slowly the fans move to just booing loudly as the former Undisputed Champion calls for a microphone. He stares around at the crowd with a sneer on his face as he runs a hand through his sweat-laden hair, his emerald green eyes wild and unhinged.
Scorpio: I bet you all loved the Johannesburg Screwjob, didn’t you? I bet you all cheered your pathetic imbecilic fat little heads off as Xavier Reid pulled down the title Danny Mac’s plot finally came to fruition…
More boos rain down on the 46th President of The United States as he shakes his head in anger.
Scorpio: This is what Mac and his band of cronies in charge of this fucking company have wanted from the second I almost upset the status quo in the Insanity Cage last year. Season after season they ensure the right people get their shot at the top… the likes of Ace King toeing the company line, Melody Malone as the pretty marketable ‘Queen’, Cyrus Black as the ‘edgy one’ but still a straight white man doing well in a straight white man’s world. This whole place is at the mercy of Danny Mac’s machinations, and at Night of Champions he and his general managers put together so convoluted and targeted at my failure that of course Reid was able to walk out with my title…
He sneers once more.
Scorpio: And then there’s The Rumble in South Africa where for absolutely no reason my rematch was granted as a ladder match. It was just a random match choice, right? It was designed to be exciting for the fans? IT WAS A PLOT BY DANNY MAC AND IT FUCKING WORKED! If it was a match that ended in pinfall or submission I would have wiped the damn floor with Reid but instead it’s a match that conveniently needed a title to be pulled from a clasp… a clasp which was attached to the ceiling… a clasp that was being controlled. I was hanging from that damn clasp and title for half a minute before Reid speared me off of it and it was locked tight, but the second I’m down long enough for Reid to get a hand on the belt it magically falls into his hands. PRESIDENT MAC ORCHESTRATED THE JOHANNESBURG SCREWJOB TO DUMP ME OUT OF THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION, NULLIFY ANY LEGAL CLAIM I HAVE TO A REMATCH, AND RESTORE THE STATUS QUO OF HIS POSTER-BOYS AND POSTER-GIRLS BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT!
The S-Factor looks even more deranged than before as he taps at his head, celebrating his own ability to see beyond what apparently happened at The Rumble In South Africa. The crowd are booing loudly as Scorpio shakes his head.
Martinez: Folks I’m worried about Scorpio’s mental state. We knew he wasn’t going to take losing the rematch well but this is a whole new level for him…
Loydson: I say we get the damn footage up! I bet you can see President Mac in the rafters controlling the hook to give the damn title to whoever he wants it to go to!
Scorpio paces the ring, his Louboutin heels clicking with every step as the fans begin to chant “Tin Foil Hat! Tin Foil Hat!” in recognition of his wild conspiracy theories.
Scorpio: Boo me all you like, discredit me all you like, all I’m trying to do is save you. I am a benevolent President, I am a giving President, I am an inclusive President. I am not President Mac gifting success and gold to whoever he wants and shunning anyone who doesn’t fit the status quo. I am the man who should be leading this company! People I am the future of the EWC and I will right the wrongs of this sham of a leadership we’ve been under. We’ve suffered the injustices of President Mac for so long and I will lead the rise against him!
Martinez: I’m not entirely convinced anyone else shares Scorpio’s views on Mac…
Scorpio: I will rise to this challenge because it’s the right thing to do, even if you sheep don’t see it. I will take on President Mac, I will stand up to his dictatorship, and I will reset the norm in the EWC. As the 46th President of The United States it is my place to become the Commander-In-Chief of this company and lead us into a new dawn in season twenty tw—
WOOOOOOAAAH! OOOOH WAKE UP!
WOOOOOOAAAH! OOOOH WAKE UP!
WOOOOOOAAAH! OOOOH WAKE UP!
The crowd goes WILD at Black Veil Brides’ “Wake Up” as Scorpio’s eyes widen even more than before and he stares at the ramp. Every member of the audience is on their feet as Scorpio shakes his head…
Martinez: It can’t be!
Loydson: She was injured out a year ago… what the hell is she doing here?!
Martinez: IT IS!
The arena’s roof almost blows off with the cheering as “The Rebel Child” Georgie Nickles steps out from the back! Scorpio is stunned into silence as his former ReBelle teammate and co-EWC Tag Team Champion throws a defiant fist into the air. She stares down the ramp at Scorpio before she slaps hands with a few of the fans and stops to fist-bump one kid that’s going absolutely crazy at her return. The Real Rebel Child rolls into the ring and pulls a microphone from her back pocket as she gets to her feet. Her music dies down and for a moment or two the members of ReBelle stare one another down. Scorpio’s expression is one of fixed fury as his jaw clenches and the veins on his neck stand on end. Nickles looks her former partner up and down, her face a mix of pity and disappointment, before she brings the microphone to her mouth.
Nickles: What the hell happened to you?
The crowd goes wild as Scorpio shakes his head and off-mic is screaming to Georgie to turn around and leave. Defiant as ever Nickles continues.
Nickles: This isn’t the man I stood side by side with as the 2019 Tag Team of The Year. This isn’t the man I’ve known for over a decade. This deranged, suspicious, nasty, vicious, conspiracy theorist is far from the Scorpio I once called a friend. What the fuck happened to you?!
Scorpio: He sent you didn’t he…
Nickles: Nobody sent me. I’ve spent the last year injured out after we lost the titles and I’ve slowly watched you spiral out of control. I thought in that Insanity Cage the burns were the worst thing you suffered, but something cracked in your head didn’t it?! Where’s the Scorpio who on his second ever Rampage appearance lead the charge against the Shieldmaidens?! Where’s the Scorpio who put on the performance of Thunder II and made his name in the EWC?! WHERE THE HELL IS THE SCORPIO I ONCE CALLED MY BEST FRIEND?!
She looks heartbroken as Scorpio looks away from her sapphire eyes and begins to pace the ring. The crowd have quietened down to listen to every word of this Nickles watches him walk away from her.
Nickles: Scorpio there is no conspiracy, there is no plot, there is no committee of leaders out to get you. In the Insanity Cage you fought your ass off but it wasn’t to be; that’s the fucking game we’re in. You went on to do what so many others failed to do, what I couldn’t do twice, and won the United States Championship from Ace King but you spoiled it for yourself by attacking his students and blindsiding him and rubbing the win in everyone’s face with this 46th President bullshit…
The crowd go insane for Nickles calling out Scorpio’s Presidential accolades. He snaps a glare at her and mouths for her to shut her mouth as she continues.
Nickles: You lost that title fair and square to Samantha Hamilton and you lost your rematch just as fairly; your team interfered first and you reaped what you sowed. But it doesn’t matter because you were already in the middle of a historic Undisputed Championship run! A run that was celebrated by the EWC in ways you were utterly blind to because you were so obsessed with the idea that the company was trying to kick you down. You lost that title fairly within the rules of the event, and you lost the rematch because Reid was the better man on the day. The Scorpio I knew would have held his jaw high and proud, told the world how fucking fabulous he was, and knuckled down to prove it in every match to earn his way back to the top. Yet here you are, this new Scorpio, whinging and whining and bitching about how it’s all President Mac’s fault…
Scorpio: Of course, I see it now, he’s paid you to come here hasn’t he? This is all a game of Mac’s to put me on the back foot just as I’m about to end his reign--
Nickles: WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM TO BE PAID OFF BY THE BOSS?! You deluded fucking madman I’m the Rebel Child, the Rabble Rouser, the Head of the Revolution. I’ve spent almost 15 years in the ring breaking the rules and creating chaos; I’m not here because some businessman wanted to play games with your fragile ego, I’m here because my best friend has become a damn monster…
Scorpio: A monster?! You think I am the monster here?!
Nickles: You held Ace King’s student hostage, you curb-stomped Xavier Reid’s father, you’ve come out here and delivered addresses to discredit the wins of anyone who’s beaten you, you’ve made excuse after excuse after excuse for every time you’ve lost, you’ve called any woman in your way a whore, you’ve called everyone getting their first shot at you pathetic wannabes… yes… you’re the monster…
Scorpio fixes his former partner with a deadly glare as she steps closer to him, the pair almost touching foreheads as the stare one another down.
Nickles: Remember when we used to sit in the back and watch the likes of Sanders and Malone peacocking around the place and we used to laugh at them? The world is laughing at you now Scorps…
Scorpio: Shut up…
Nickles: The world is laughing as you make the next wild claim. ‘Oh President Mac’s got a vendetta against me’…
Scorpio: I said shut up…
Nickles: ‘Oh someone let the title down when Xavier Reid held it to screw me out of a win’…
Scorpio: SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Nickles: Have you ever stopped to think that maybe, just maybe, you’re not as good as you are in the fantasy world in your head?!
Scorpio: I SAID SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
And with that he slams his microphone down and grabs at Nickles’ free arm, twisting it around and placing the heel of his Louboutin boot at her neck, setting her up for The Heel Turn! The crowd are on their feet and the noise is deafening as Nickles’ microphone clatters to the floor. The two members of ReBelle are stood in the middle of the ring with Nickles trapped in Scorpio’s grip, the boot at her throat, but he stays stood still. He stares at his former partner as she has a twisted smirk on her face. The ringside mics pick up her telling him to “do it…” as his breathing becomes more and more laboured, sweat pouring down his head. “Do it… fucking do it…” Nickles urges him again, testing her partner to see how far he’s fallen. “DO IT!” she screams and Scorpio yells out before he drops the boot and clocks Nickles with a forearm, stunning her for a second before he bails from the ring…
Martinez: I don’t believe what we’re watching here folks. Georgie Nickles has returned after a year of injury to try and talk some sense into her former partner… that stare down with Scorpio ready to execute The Heel Turn… you can feel the emotion here at ringside.
Nickles leans on the ropes as she recovers from the forearm shot as Scorpio is storming up the ramp and the crowd are booing him loudly. A cameraman tries to get a close up of him and he lashes out, shoving the cameraman back against the ringside barriers before he lifts the camera into the air and launches it down the ramp where it smashes to pieces. Scorpio drags the cameraman into the middle of the ramp before he kicks at his side and hooks his legs, lifting the cameraman’s arms and stomping his head down with the 28th Amendment, his brutal curbstomp last used on Reid’s father. The crowd boo loudly as Nickles recoils in horror at the attack on an innocent man. Scorpio runs a hand through his hair as he stares down the ramp looking more and more wild and unhinged.
Martinez: We need medical attention out here!
Loydson: I’ve got a lot of respect for Scorpio, but that cameraman was just doing his damn job…
Scorpio screams “YOU MADE ME DO THAT!” at Nickles before he looks around the arena. “YOU ALL MADE ME DO THAT! THAT’S YOUR DAMN FAULT! ALL OF YOU!”. Georgie Nickles falls to her knees in the ring staring out at the man she once called a friend….
Martinez: I’m told that’s all we have time for folks. It’s been a hell of an episode of Rampage as we begin the run-up to WrestleFest, but it’s ended with shocking scenes. Scorpio has been on a downward spiral since Night of Champions 2019 and it’s showing no signs of letting up… we’ll see you in a couple of weeks in Tampa…
The final scene is of EMTs attending the attacked cameraman as a mad and animalistic-looking Scorpio screams at the crowd that he will have his revenge on the EWC…
