---------------

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 X-Tron 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.

{GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!}

{EZRA IS CRAZY... GOOD!}

{JOSH AVIN ISN'T BALD LIKE GIDEON GAGE}

{THE BUZZARD NEVER DIES}

{YOU CAN DO IT JACKSON! END RYO!}

{NEED A HAZMAT SUIT BECAUSE RYO HAZAMA IS RADIOACTIVE}







FN'R!!!

FN'R!!!

FN'R!!!

FN'R!!!

The camera flashes back to the X-Tron which shows the current FN'R roster... "Pyscho" Saoirse Maguire, "The Animal" Samuel McPherson, Ace King, Alex "Bullet" Carbajal, Annabelle, Asriel Buzzard, Autumn Raven, Damage Incorporated, Ezra James, Gideon Gage, Iggy Swango, Jackie "Bandit" Layton, Jackson Knight Jr, Josh Gavin, Moxie, Phoenix Winterborn, Queen Melody Malone, Ryo Hazama, Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton, Shaker Jones, Sil Frigda, Texas Angels, The Xtreme Ravagers, Tommy Burton, Void. The scene cuts over to our brands champions. Asriel Buzzard holds his HBO Broadcast Championship high, then Melody Malone holds up her United States Championship in one hand and Crown Royal in another. She nods her head as feed bleeds into Ace King raising the Undisputed Championship high in both hands. There's another round of pyro.




And then the camera cuts over to the commentary desk, where Martinez stands with a smile. Phillip Loydson sits with a scowl on his face. Martinez sits down, and Loydson fakes a smile.

Martinez: Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another exciting episode of Friday Night Rampage. As alwa...

Loydson: Except it's NOT always is it Omar? Last Saturday I had to call this by myself! As always, I am Phillip Loydson and this is Friday Night Rampage. In our main eve..

Martinez: nt of the evening. Melody Malone defends her United States Championship against Ezra James. This will be Malone's 8th defense with the championship! But Ezra James has had a breakout BORT and either of them could leave tonight on top of the FNR Brand. 

Loydson: Just had to cut me off? Just like I had to cut myself off of drinking Crown Royal. It's that good kids. Our semi main event sees Josh Gavin taking on Asriel Buzzard in Buzzard's 9th defense. Gavin was Buzzard's 2nd defense and he's here to put an end to something he started a few months ago Omar.

Martinez: That's exactly how he feels, Josh wasn't in the right headspace then but he's all fire now. Going to be a good match. But of course before that, our third marquee match of the night. Jackson Knight Jr will test his leg after a war with Melody Malone against the already dangerous Ryo Hazama. That could be a scary match. 

Loydson: This kid may never be the same after this match Omar. Marquee matches aside, we also have our opening bout. It's Orion Wentworth Vs Shaker Jones. One of them will leave tonight breaking their dry spell. 

Martinez: After that we have Iggy Swango taking on Tommy Burton in a rematch of a #1 contendership match from a few months ago. Tommy is more deranged that ever and Iggy cannot hear the music anymore. That's one to keep an eye on.

Loydson: After that, it's the match many have been waiting for since the blocks were announced. For the first time ever in the EWC, Alex "Bullet" Carbajal takes on Samantha "The Titaness" Hamilton. It's a battle of former sisters and I expect it to be bloody.

Martinez: After that, we have Autumn Raven Vs Moxie. Both have struggled in The BORT but find themselves at a cozy 4 points.

Loydson: After that, Gideon Gage takes out his rage, a page from a book as old as age. UltraViolence Winterborn has all his scorn and wants to show Gideon he never should have been born. That'll be a bloody one, no question. 

Martinez: All this and more tonight on another exciting episode of Friday Night Rampage. The EWC's A Brand for the best action, stories and wrestlers.

The cameras cut to the backstage area as Orion Wentworth can be seen heading towards the ring with her wife right next to her. The two lovebirds are talking amongst themselves when Brian Spade comes up to them.

Spade: Orion, do you have a minute?

Orion looks at Isabelle before turning her eyes toward Brian.

Orion: Let me guess, you want to ask me about what that idiot Shaker Jones said.

Spade: Yes!

Orion: I thought so because Shaker really didn't say anything noteworthy. I mean, didn't he say the same shit when he faced Melody Malone. How did that go for him?

Orion shakes her head then Isabelle taps her on the shoulder. Isabelle whispers something into her ear as Orion's facial expression changed.

Orion: Shaker Jones is going to be the calling card that I leave behind. My days in the BORT may be over but I'll be damned if anyone is going to take away what I want out of this. I need this win. Shaker has no idea what awaits him in that ring. Unfortunately, I'm going to make sure he eats every single word. This is MY match and I will be the one leaving the winner.

Orion and Isabelle walk past Brian Spade as the cameras cut away.

MATCH ONE
ORION WENTWORTH (0) VS SHAKER JONES (0)
BORT A-BLOCK MATCH
REF: MIKE MICHAELSON

---

Chriqui: The following match is a BORT A-Block Match. Introducing first, currently at 0 points. From Houston, Texas & weighing in at 139 pounds... ORION WENTWORTH!!!

"Remember Everything" by Savannah Dexter suddenly starts playing as Orion Samson steps out onto the stage with her wife Isabelle right by her side. They stand at thee top, look out at the audience before descending down the ramp. When Orion reaches the bottom, she gives Isabelle a kiss before slipping into the ring. She stands on the turnbuckle while posing for the fans.

Chriqui: And her opponent, currently at 0 points. From BOSTON, MASSACHUSETS & weighing in at 230 pounds... SHAKER JONES!!!

'Rudie Can't Fail' – The Clash sounds off as Shaker makes his way to the ring coming through the crowd.

Martinez: Orion and Shaker both stand at 0 points, this match is their chance to finally get on the board.

Loydson: These kids have been busting their humps, but haven't been able to get it done Omar. Tonight, this is make or break.

DING DING DING

Orion and Shaker tie-up, Shaker pulls Orion into a headlock and squeezes on her head. Orion pushes Shaker into the ropes and then springs him off to the opposite side. Shaker comes in looking for a Whipsmash Lariat but Orion ducks and rushes the ropes herself. Off the rebound Orion jumps into Shaker with a Cosmic Smash! Her big-boot lands flush on Shaker's chest and sends him flying backwards into the ropes. Shaker hits the ropes and stumbles out, right onto Orion's shoulders before she drops him with a Samoan Drop! Orion drags Shaker up to a knee and then jumps into a dropkick to the back of his head. Shaker rolls under the bottom rope, trying to get some breathing room.

Martinez: Orion is out for blood!

Shaker pulls himself up on the ropes, Orion comes in looking for another Cosmic Smash but Shaker ducks and Orion's leg gets caught on the top rope. Shaker throws himself into Orion with a Whipsmash that puts her on her head. Orion pulls herself up, and Shaker hits her with another Whipsmash sending her backwards into the corner. Shaker grabs Orion's hand and drags her up onto his shoulders before spinning her into a cutter! Shakermaker! Shaker makes the cover but Orion grabs the bottom rope!

Loydson: Orion's ring awareness saved her there.

Shaker drags Orion up by her hair and pulls her up onto his shoulders. Orion slips out the back and grabs on a waist-lock. She drags Shaker up and goes for the Belt Of Orion but Shaker sends an elbow back into Orion's temple and stops her. Shaker rushes forward to the ropes and rebounds off looking for a third Whipsmash but Orion stops him with a Worthy Kneestrike! Orion's knee takes Shaker off his feet and he crashes to the canvas. Orion drags him up and grabs on a waist-lock... BELT OF ORION GERMAN SUPLEX! BRIGDE!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 2 points... ORION WENTWORTH!!!

Orion gets to her feet, she almost can't believe it. She falls to her knees, her wife rushes into the ring to hug her. Orion gets to her feet and lets out a yell of victory. Orion and Isabella head to the back, smiles a mile wide on both. Shaker is helped up by Mike Michaelson while he rubs the back of his head.

Martinez: Orion Wentworth gets her first two points of the tournament, and her win on Friday Night Rampage as a singles wrestler.

Loydson: Huge moment for Orion, but it took her strongest move to keep Shaker down for the three, this kid hasn't been winning but he's fighting.

As the scene moves backstage after the match, "Ultraviolence" Phoenix Winterborn is shown with Marissa Davidson in one of the lower levels of the arena. It was dimly lit, as Phoenix slowly raised his head.

Ultraviolence: Even staring down the barrel of the gun known as Gideon Gage later, I am always thinking. Thinking about the end of this tournament. Thinking about the Titaness, Samantha Hamilton. Titaness, your history and mine have been intertwined since our beginnings here, so it's only fitting that it comes to a head at the Best of Rampage block finals. That's not enough for me, though. I've heard the mumblings. Fight forever. They want us to do this for forever. I don't, though. It's time for this turbulent relationship to end, and I'm going to be the one to end it. As only I know how. You see Samantha...I don't want to see your busted up face around here anymore. I want you so, unrecognizable that they'll have to pull dental records to notify your next of kin.

Marissa stepped into full view with a steel chain, flanked by two leather straps.

Ultraviolence: Titaness, in our next and final encounter. We settle this in a Dog Collar match. I want to make you bleed. I want you to make me bleed. I want…no. I need that canvas stained red by the time we are done. I can't stand seeing you, but I respect you just enough to know that you want this too. Our first two years here will be tied to each other, but no longer. It's time I slay the Titaness. One way. Or another.

Marissa strapped the collar around Phoenix's neck, as he took the chain, slamming it against the wall with a sick smile.

Ultraviolence: The ball is in your court, Samantha. Come play with me.

One more swing of the chain towards the camera, and it cuts to static, sending the feed back to ringside.

MATCH TWO
IGGY SWANGO (5) VS TOMMY BURTON (2)
BORT B-BLOCK MATCH
REF: PIERCE PATTERSON

---

Chriqui: The following match is a B...

Chriqui is cut off as Tommy Burton emerges from gorilla with Iggy Swango in a side-headlock. Tommy Burton drags the fighting Iggy about half-way down the ramp before throwing her to his feet and kicking her in the stomach so she rolls down the ramp. Iggy rolls under the ring. A fan offers Tommy a beer and Tommy is happy to take the beverage and drink it as he walks down to the ring. Tommy crushes the can and grabs Iggy's foot and drags her out from under the ring before digging the can into Iggy's forehead and cutting her open! Iggy Swango punches Tommy in his groin and he topples over. Iggy mounts him and starts to rain down punches on his face and throat. Iggy reaches under the ring and grabs a table. The crowd pops.

Martinez: This match hasn't even began?!

Iggy sets the table up and drags Tommy to his feet into a side-headlock. Iggy quickly rips Tommy backwards through the table with a snap suplex! Iggy gets to her feet and throws up a hand to the crowd who cheers on their crimson masked Thighness. Tommy rolls under the ring, only his feet exposed. Iggy picks up the crushed beer can and drags Tommy out. To Iggy's surprise Tommy clocks her in the jaw with a Thigh Master! Iggy stumbles backwards and trips over her feet, crashing onto the stage.

Loydson: This is getting out of hand!

Tommy pulls himself up using the apron and lunges at Iggy. He starts to slam the Thigh Master down on her jaw repeatedly. A fan in the crowd jumps the barricade, wait that's the same fan who helped Iggy last Friday Night Rampage! He throws a beer into Burton's face and blinds him! The fan takes off as security rush at him, Tommy gets to his feet and tries to wipe the beer from his eyes. Iggy pulls herself up using the barricade and rushes at Tommy. Hip attack! Tommy stumbles backwards into the apron. Iggy advances on him and fires a European uppercut into his jaw, a second Euro Uppercut. Tommy fires back with a headbutt. Iggy and Tommy turn their uppercuts and headbutts into clean punches as they drill each other in the jaw. Tommy goes for a big haymaker and Iggy dives under Tommy's arm into the ring. Tommy turns to follow but Iggy comes flying out of the ring with a suicide dive into a spear into Tommy! Iggy and Tommy pull each other up, Iggy kicks him in the stomach to kneel him over into a cravat before she jumps back into a DANCE PARTY PLUS! Tommy's head collides against the steel steps! Iggy drags Tommy up and rolls him into the ring. She follows in.

Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 7 points... IGGY SWANGO!!!

Iggy gets to her feet, she calls for a towel. She wipes her bloody forehead and throws the towel down on Tommy's face before spitting in his direction. Iggy heads up the ramp, she can see the fan still running from security. The fan shoots her a thumbs up and she's not sure how to react.

Martinez: That wasn't exactly a match, but Iggy Swango got the victory.

Loydson: I'm not sure who this simp is that keeps throwing beer in the face of Iggy's opponent's but he's down bad.

Brian Spade is walking backstage to catch up with Iggy Swango.

Spade: Iggy, Iggy. Can I have a second?

Iggy turns to face Spade.

Iggy: I guess I have the time.

Spade: Your match tonight with Tommy, how do you feel about that?

Iggy seems to think for a second.

Iggy: If you want to call that a match. Anyway, he jumped me from behind and didn't really give me much of a choice to fight back with everything I had. It wasn't pretty, but I'll take it. I also want to put it on record that I have no clue who that fan is. He is not affiliated with THE BRAND in any way.

Spade: Next Rampage, you take on the beast Gideon Gage.

Iggy: In what may be the toughest match of this entire tournament man. 6 matches worth of wear and tear, and then I get to face a giant. But I am not looking to run away. I'm not going to back away from a fight I want Gideon Gage and I want there to be no escape Spade.

Iggy looks to the camera.

Iggy: And that's why I am challenging Gideon Gage to a steel cage match. I want there to be no excuses when I beat Gideon. There will be nowhere to run, so I am taking Gideon head on.. I have nothing to lose out there.

With that, Iggy heads off towards her locker-room.

MATCH THREE
ALEX "BULLET" CARBAJAL (0) VS SAMANTHA "THE TITANESS" HAMILTON (8)
BORT B-BLOCK MATCH
REF: PIERCE PATTERSON

---

Chriqui: The following match is a BORT B-Block Match. Introducing first, currently at 0 points. From New Orleans, Louisiana & weighing in at 135 pounds... ALEX "BULLET" CARBAJAL!!!

'God Is A Bullet' – Concrete Blonde sounds off. Bullet heads out from gorilla, her face tells all there is to know. THis is business, this is personal. She loves Sam, but for now they will fight until one of them can be called the better.

Chriqui: And her opponent, currently at 8 points. From Ft. Lauderdale, FL & weighing in at 145 pounds... SAMANTHA "THE TITANESS" HAMILTON!!!

'Indestructible' by Disturbed blares over the PA system. As it does, we see the forms of The Titaness, her husband, Joseph "Orion" Hunter, and 'The Memphis Mouthpiece' Tommy Love all standing at the top of the ramp. The Titaness saunters down the ramp, flanked by Joseph on one side and Tommy on the other.

When she finally gets to the ropes, the Titaness will slip through the middle and top ropes, waiting patiently for the bell to sound off.

Martinez: Bullet Vs Titaness, first time ever in the EWC.

Loydson: I expect a very emotional match.

DING DING DING

Sam turns away from Bullet to Tommy and Joseph, she asks both to leave ringside and let her have this. Tommy objects but Sam's eyes plead with Joseph who smiles and drags Tommy off to the back while Tommy yells tips and advice. Sam turns to Bullet and offers a handshake, Bullet slaps Sam hard enough to cause her to lose balance. Bullet yells to Sam they are hermanas and family is thicker than blood before punching Sam in the mouth. Sam answers back with her own punch to Bullet. Bullet punches Sam with enough force to knock Sam back into her corner. Sam stumbles out of the corner into a stiff elbow from Bullet that echoes over the venue. Sam falls to the side against the ropes, Bullet elbows her in the back of the head before grabbing on a headlock. Bullet throws Sam into the ropes and on the rebound she jumps into a big knee between Sam's eyes. Sam hits the canvas like a bag of potatoes. Bullet drags Sam up and sends her knee into Sam's stomach. Bullet whips Sam into the ropes again, but on the rebound Sam hits Bullet with a spear!

Martinez: This is already hard to watch.

Bullet gets up to her feet, grabbing at her stomach. Sam lunges into a superkick that lands flush on the base of Bullet's skull. Sam grabs at her own injured head and stumbles backwards. Bullet pulls herself up to her knees and Sam jumps into another superkick against the back of her head with a deadweight cover following.

ONE... KICKOUT BY BULLET!

Bullet kicks out with authority and makes it to the ropes to pull herself up. Bullet turns and stumbles to Sam as she stands, Bullet jumps into a knee that lands flush on Sam's jaw and they are both down again.

Loydson: They want to hurt each other, to show how much they love each other.

Sam and Bullet pull each other up, throwing punches and forearms the whole way. They are both up to their feet and throwing some heavy punches that would probably knock a non-wrestler clean out. Punch from Sam, elbow from Bullet. Quick combo of punch, European uppercut, punch and leg kick from Sam! Bullet fires back with four back to back knife edge chops that back Sam into the corner. Bullet goes for another chop, but Sam ducks it while shoving Bullet off. Bullet comes at Sam and Sam lands a clothesline! Bullet hits the deck but she pulls herself back up, body kick from Sam puts Bullet back to a knee! Bullet jumps into a spear on Sam! Bullet covers Sam!

ONE... KICKOUT BY SAM!!!

Bullet and Sam drag each other up and lean into each other with even stiffer shots. Every punch, uppercut, slap, chop, elbow, forearm.. they all do more and more damage. A full minute of strikes follows, with neither Sam nor Bullet standing down. Sam jumps into a headbutt after the minute of strikes, pulling a play from Tommy Burton. Bullet falls backward like a rock. Sam stumbles over to the corner and pulls herself up. Sam eyes Bullet and jumps into Judgement Of The Moirae! It lands flush! Cover!

ONE!

THREE!!!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 10 points... SAMANTHA "THE TITANESS" HAMILTON!!!

Sam pulls Bullet up, and they hug each other. They say something but the camera's mic cannot pick it up, probably for the best. It's private people. They hug for a solid minute before Bullet turns and exits the ring. She limps to the back while Sam calls for a microphone.

Martinez: That was an emotional match, with some of the stiffest shots I have ever seen.

Loydson: That can't be denied..

Tommy Love and Joseph come running out, stopping Bullet in her tracks. They all turn to Sam, and despite her win, despite her embrace with Bullet.. there is something visibly on her mind.

Hamilton: I'm just gonna get to the point. Phoenix ... Ultraviolence ... whatever name you wanna use. I heard your request, and I gotta say ...

Sam chuckles, shaking her head.

Hamilton: You're gonna wish you'd chosen something else for a stipulation. Because not only do I accept the Dog Collar Match, but I'm fully intending to beat you at your own game. Just remember ... you asked for this, not me.

Sam exits the ring and makes her way over to Bullet. They begin to chat, likely about what she just agreed to and their match. Tommy and Joseph remain near Sam as the four individuals head backstage together. Camera fades.

The cameras cut backstage to discover the Avaricious One, the Devil of Rampage, making his way down the hallway. He shrouds himself in a stark black coat suit, but he grasps his barbed wire-wrapped bokken in one hand. He moves with a jaunty tune chasing behind him, which he emits through a loud whisper. Yet, he comes to a stop once he gets to his intended destination. He lifts his head up and lets out a more impressed whistle at what stood before him.

Hazama: Wow, you’re bigger in person than I expected.

Clearly, he speaks with a somewhat flippant tone, destroying the idea that he was all impressed with the figure in front of him. As the camera moves, it’s revealed that Hazama has stepped in front of Rory Hyland.

Hyland: Canny say the same. You lost?

Hazama lets out a derisive chuckle.

Hazama: Am I lost? What kind of stupid question is that? Look, step out of the way if you would kindly. I have a meeting with Melody.

Rory gives a skeptical look, eyeing Hazama before turning towards the door.

Hyland: Not sure I've been told about any meeting...

Hazama claps his hands together, still chuckling--yet it took on a darker twinge as he stares at Rory.

Hazama: You’re her personal trainer, right? Maybe some muscle on a good day? Well, Rory-san, you see, this is business between her and I, not necessarily you. But knowing that you’re a good, oversized lap dog, you’ll bark and bite. So, let me lay it out for you. Trust my word and move or make this a problem. Ideally, it’d help me either way.

The Scotsman shoots a glare over his shoulder, opening the door a crack before poking his head into the America’s Most Hated locker room. The look on his face speaks loudly enough, that Malone’s voice can be heard from inside.

Malone: I see he’s early… this won’t take long, I’m sure.

The door opens wider, Melody Malone standing behind Rory before she waves a dismissive hand.

Malone: Rory… go check on Iggy and see if that cut stopped bleeding.

A gruff snort comes from behind her as he exits, closing the door behind him and Melody cracks a wry smirk.

Malone: Paying me a visit so soon?

Hazama enters, giving the Queen a bow with uncertain purpose. He lifts himself up with his trademark grin on his face.

Hazama: Of course, it’s the last night. All we have to do is get past our last opponents until the true challenge stands before us. Which brings me to us.

He strays closer to his...enemy...rival...something?

Hazama: Are you sure you want to put that up against me? The United States Championship is something you’ve made yours through blood, sweat, tears, and a bit of my own blood.

A small, grim laugh comes out of him before he continues.

Hazama: I’m here to offer you a way to keep that championship, even if you lose against me.

There’s a pause before Hazama’s serious nature crumbles.

Hazama: No, no, no! I’m joking. The only thing I’m here to talk to you about is, perhaps, a partnership.

Malone’s gaze shifts to the championship sitting perched off to the side, before returning focus back on the man she allegedly left for dead.

Malone: A partnership? And here I thought you didn’t believe in my kingdom.

A chuckle escapes her lips before she crosses her arms in front of her.

Malone: No good deed goes unpunished, what kind of partnership? I mean, after tonight you and I both know what comes next. And let’s not kid ourselves… the person who walks out between you and I? Is the person who’s going to walk out of Scars and Stripes as the best of Rampage. But…

She gives him a once over, a smirk playing at the corner of her lips.

Malone: You could be a valuable asset to the brand…

Hazama eyes Malone and takes out a card. He hands it over to her with a hand over his chest.

Hazama: Then hold onto this. I feel as if we’ll need each other...pretty soon. And in regards to our match, please don’t hold it against me if I take away what you have. But if I do take it, and if I do take that Undisputed Championship, it’ll be back in your hands in no time.

Melody takes the card, slipping it into her back pocket before she gives a slight dip of her head in acknowledgement.

Malone: I’ll keep this in mind. And I’d say it’s nothing personal next time… but I think we both know that’d be a lie. Good luck tonight. You don’t really need it, but I’d much rather face you in a good mood rather than a bad one.

Hazama tilts his head at Melody, turning on his heel with a playful air.

Hazama: Oh, my Queen, I’m always in a good mood when I’m around you. ♥ But the same goes for you. An angry queen always look to cut off heads and well--

He motions to the scar around his neck.

Hazama: I’d rather not give you the idea to finish the job.

The Avaricious One walks out of camera view, letting the camera linger on Melody and her United States Championship. We cut elsewhere backstage where Brian Spade stands with Moxie.

Spade: Moxie, you are getting ready for your match with Autumn Raven and I just have a few questions if you don't mind.

Moxie: That's why I am here.

Spade: Heading into this match with Autumn Raven, what's the game plan?

Moxie: The plan is simple, break her fingers and make her suffer, she hasn't got what it takes to out wrestle me. She can act crazy all she wants, but pain cannot be ignored.

Spade: Speaking of crazy, Any comments on the statement Raven made before this match?

Moxie: Her comments are irrelevant, this is the BORT and she's proven herself to be quite the opposite. She's nothing more than another body in my way.

Spade: After this match, you face Orion Wentworth. Anything you'd like to say to her ahead of Day 7?

Moxie: Similar to Raven, I signed to the EWC to fight the top quality fighters in the world, Orion and Raven aren't worthy, but if there's one thing that I've learned from the BORT is that I want to fight the likes of the Hazamas, the Melodys and the Ezras. And there are quite a number from B-Block I can't wait to face as well.

Spade: Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions, good luck!

Moxie heads out towards gorilla.

MATCH FOUR
AUTUMN RAVEN (4) VS MOXIE (4)
BORT A-BLOCK MATCH
REF: MIKE MICHAELSON

---

Chriqui: The following match is a BORT A-Block Match. Introducing first, currently at 4 points. From Los Angeles, California & weighing in at 125 pounds... AUTUMN RAVEN!!!

The tron plays a scene of the Hollywood walk of fame going by slowly, the shadow of a raven seen over each and every star that’s there. As you hear the lyrics ‘Your stars burned out for good, somewhere in Hollywood’, the shadow flies into the one star without a name, writing out Autumn’s name on it, the star turning to a dingy, grungy picture with graffiti written all over it.

As the first part of the song starts up, Autumn appears from backstage, slowly walking out, coming to a stop at the top of the ramp as she surveys the crowd with a cold smirk on her face. She stands there for a minute before making her way down the ramp slowly, walking once around the ring before sliding under the bottom rope and hopping to her feet, making her way to the corner to climb to the top ringpost. She flings her arms out to the side, laughing at the crowd.

Chriqui: And her opponent, currently at 4 points. From London, England & weighing in at 202 pounds... MOXIE!!!

Bring Me The Horizon's 'Can You Feel My Heart' hits the speakers, prompting the lights to dance around the arena with an ominous red glow. As soon as the guitar riff kicks in, Moxie emerges from behind the curtain. He marches to the end of the stage and glares at the capacity crowd surrounding him. Raising his fist to his jaw, Moxie lets out a roar and walks down the aisle, ignoring the paying spectators.

He slides underneath the bottom rope and rises to his feet in the middle of the ring. Moxie faces the crowd before snapping back to face the camera, emphatically raising both clenched fists high above his head before slowly descending them in stereo to both sides of his jaw.

Martinez: Raven and Moxie, both at 4 points. This match will help them break out from the middle of the pack into the upper level of A-Block.

Loydson: And I imagine that's something they'd both love to have.

DING DING DING

The bell sounds off, but both competitors hold back to size up the other. Autumn breaks the silence with a laugh, she calls for a tie-up, Moxie agrees and puts his hand up. Autumn leans in and licks Moxie instead of doing the tie-up, causing Moxie to jump back and ask the ref what the hell was that. Autumn skips around the ring a bit. Moxie advances and punches her in the mouth. Autumn smile through bloody teeth at Moxie as he leans into her with a strong European Uppercut! This one knocks Raven down, and she quickly rolls from the ring.

Martinez: I'm not sure what is going on with Raven here?

Raven rolls back into the ring and laughs as Moxie begins to stomp down on her. The Mike Michaelson backs Moxie up and lets Autumn stand. Autumn turns her back to Moxie and folds her arm across her chest as through she was pouting. Raven advances on Autumn but she quickly bends backwards while keeping her arms folded. She looks at him and smiles. Moxie stumbles backwards. Raven stands up straight and turns to face Moxie, she blows him a kiss.

Loydson: She has absolutely lost it!

Moxie advances on Autumn and hits another European uppercut that sends Raven into the ropes. On the rebound Raven lands a missile dropkick! Moxie gets up to his feet, but Raven hits a quick roll-up! Moxie is out at one. Autumn swings at Moxie, Moxie catches her hand and snaps her fingers! Autumn doesn't scream. Instead she starts to moan suggestively at her dislocated fingers. Moxie is weirded out and takes a few steps back before rushing Raven and jumping into a Dragoon's Glory knee strike! Raven hits the canvas and Moxie pins her.

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 6 points... MOXIE!!!

Raven starts laughing on the canvas, Moxie shakes his head and calls her a weird bitch before leaving the ring and heading to the back.

Martinez: That was... a weird match.

Loydson: That's an understatement, but a big win for Mox takes the kid to 6 points.

Gideon Gage, dressed in a beautiful bright orange suit, is bringing in his bags from the car as he takes off his sunglasses. He looks immediately disgusted.

Gage: What in the fuck do you want now you bearded fuckface. 

Grizzly Duggan has a big smile on his face but Gideon is having none of it.

Gage: What's the FUCKING FINE THIS WEEK DUGGAN? HUH? YOU SEE WHAT I DID TO ELLEN? What'll it be? Ten grand again? Twenty? I made a mockery of her on live television, you must think that's worth another ten grand to you HUH? JUST GIVE IT TO ME, I'M ALREADY STANDING RIGHT HERE!

Grizzly just chuckles at Gideon.

Duggan: C'mon Gideon, why would I fine you for attacking Ellen DeGeneres? She's an awful, horrible person. You practically did society a good deed there. Who knew you were such a nice guy?

He slaps Gideon on the shoulder and walks away laughing, as Gideon is literally shaking with rage now. The last thing he wants to be called is a nice guy. He grabs a nearby stack of chairs and screams, throwing them all around everywhere.

Gage: THAT WASN'T MY FUCKING INTENTION DUGGAN!!!

Gideon Gage comes out onto the stage. He barely even pays attention to the fans all booing him as he heads down the ramp. He enters the ring, and roars out at the crowd as pyro goes off from the ring posts.

Chriqui: And his opponent, currently at 4 points. From CHICAGO, ILLINOIS & weighing in at 228 pounds... "ULTRAVIOLENCE" PHOENIX WINTERBORN!!!

'Defame Me' – New Years' Day sounds off. Winterborn makes his way out from gorilla and heads to the ring. Winterborn cracks a smile at Gage who is pacing back and forth.

Martinez: Gideon Gage is in a bad mood as we saw in that clip from earlier tonight, angry Duggan didn't fine him for spearing Ellen.

Loydson: Why would he? Gideon get the lords work.

DING DING DING

Gideon rushes at Winterborn like a bullet out of a gun, but Winterborn is prepared! Winterborn spins around into a backfist that lands flush!

Piece is calling it, but Gideon keeps slamming Powerbombs!!!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Your winner via ref stoppage & currently sitting at 9 points... GIDEON GAGE!!!

Gideon lands another powerbomb, Pierce Patterson shoves Gage backwards. Gage grabs Pierce by the throat and throws him from the ring. Medical staff quickly pulls Winterborn out of the ring, he collapses outside the ring. The crowd chants for Winterborn and the fighting spirit he showed tonight. Gage tells them all to shut up and they only cheer louder and louder. The chants and cries for Winterborn are deafening until finally Winterborn stands up to a mammoth pop. Gideon grunts and heads to the back.

Martinez: Gideon Gage may have got the victory, but Winterborn won the match if you ask the crowd.

Loydson: He showed a lot of heard here tonight, and he got closer than anyone has at pinning Gage in that ring.

Coming out of commercial, there’s a buzz as the show cuts to one of Arena Monterrey’s upper-bowl sections, with the camera looking out toward the ring. As the camera moves closer, the shadow of an unknown figure comes into view.

Unknown Voice: It’s always an interesting time on Friday nights, constantly raising the bar for everyone else…

As the fans recognize the voice, the crowd becomes more excited as the camera moves around, panning to reveal Undisputed EWC Champion Ace King sitting somewhat comfortably, the fans surrounding him cheering the loudest as he pulls at the base of his t-shirt. The Undisputed Champion looks around, an amused expression on his face.

Ace King: What, did you guys really think I’d miss any opportunity to come back to the city where I learned how to do what I do?

‘The Gambler’ waves to the crowd from his seat, soaking in the applause from the Monterrey faithful for a moment before making himself a bit more comfortable.

Ace King: Anyway, as I was saying, despite what everyone else wants to believe, Friday Night Rampage has been raising the bar for everyone else, and the Best of Rampage Tournament has been no exception. I know it’s coming toward the end with a lot to be decided, but in the name of getting into some real talk for a second, it’s been amazing to hear how the participants have largely heeded my advice about stepping up and showing what they’re made of.

The Undisputed Champion simply nods as the crowd applauds, then slides his championship off his shoulder to hold in his hands.

Ace King: Now, I’m not oblivious, because I know I said all that right before I lost to Stephanie Matsuda, giving her the glimmer of hope she needed to get a shot at me at Hardcore Revolution…

The crowd boos Matsuda heavily as Ace’s expression becomes more serious.

Ace King: ...And now, it’s high time I heed my own advice. June 28th will sneak up on most people, but me? I’m going to be ready. I’m going to lead by example, and I’m going to keep my promise to the BORT winner that I’ll be the one they’re looking for as the Undisputed Champion. After all, if Friday Night Rampage is to remain the best brand in EWC, it deserves nothing less than my best.

With a confident nod, Ace gestures for the camera to focus out toward the ring once again as we cut to…

MATCH SIX
JACKSON KNIGHT JR (4) VS RYO HAZAMA (10)
BORT A-BLOCK MATCH
REF: TOYO YASAHIRO

---

Chriqui: The following match is a BORT A-Block Match. Introducing first, currently at 4 points. From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania & weighing in at 200 pounds... JACKSON KNIGHT JR!!!

As the lights go out and the arena gets plunged into darkness, the spotlights focus on the center stage. The silence eventually gets broken when 'The Show' by the Roots starts playing, and after a short wait the fans start cheering as Jackson Knight Jr. steps onto the stage. Raising a finger to the sky, he takes a short pause before getting his game face on and stepping towards the ring. Sliding into the ring, he takes a dash towards the turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring, launching himself to the top and posing for the fans for a few seconds before settling down into the corner.

Chriqui: And his opponent, currently at 10 points. From Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan & weighing in at 235 pounds. The Devil Of Rampage... Ryo Hazama!!!

"My War" by SHINSEI KAMATTE CHAN goes off like an explosion, drawing the crowd into a hateful frenzy. The camera cannot find where Ryo Hazama is. When he appears, it's because he's hanging off one of the production rafters. The Avaricious One gazes down upon the audience, a clear act from his egocentric mind. Without no warning, he spreads his arms, where bursts of colorful smoke pops from several gebs scattered among the arena--scaring the audience members. With a long cackle, Hazama finds his way down to the stage and he makes his way down the ramp. As he does, he massages his jawline, taking up the camera's attention. He then rises onto the nearest turnbuckle and poses again, soaking into the atmosphere. He furthers this pleasure by laying across the turnbuckle and slinking down to the mat like a snake. He massages the mat before rising up creepily. From there, he eyes the nearest camera, not at all focused on the audience and their baleful noise.

Martinez: This match has a big fight feel to it after the words from Jackson and Ryo.

Loydson: This is the 2nd biggest match of Jackson's career and he looks ready to stare the devil in his eyes.

DING DING DING

With the sound of the bell, Jackson takes off at Hazama and slams into him with a dropkick! Hazama flies back into his corner. The Devil stumbles out of the corner and lunges at Jackson who ducks out of the way. Jackson jumps onto the second rope and then spins into an Enziguri that lands flush on Hazama! Jackson is pumped up in this one! Jackson drags Hazama up, but Hazama quickly takes a back and rips Jackson into a snap-dragon suplex. Jackson rolls through and jumps into a shining wizard on the back of Hazama's head! Jackson drags Hazama up and lands his own snap-dragon suplex, with a bridge! Hazama is out at one with a grunt.

Martinez: Jackson is brining the heat to the devil!

Jackson pulls Hazama up, Hazama stomps him in the leg. Jackson stumbles back, Hazama spins around into a heel strike but Jackson ducks it and jumps into a knee strike against Hazama's jaw. Jackson lands on the leg Hazama stomped and the leg gives out! Jackson's face goes white with pain.

Loydson: Jackson may have hurt his leg!

Hazama stomps down on Jackson's face and knocks Jackson loopy long enough to drag him up onto his shoulders and drop him into a LET IT DIE! Hazama grabs Jackson's head and refuses to let the slumped man drop while he knees him in the jaw. Once, twice, thrice, FOUR TIMES! Hazama shoves Jackson back into the ropes. Jackson slumps down off the ropes and Hazama jumps into a Satori knee strike that lands flush on Jackson. He's out of it, but Hazama keeps Jackson standing. Hazama ducks his head under Jackson's arm while wrapping his arm around Jackson's torso and neck. Hazama spins around while lifting Jackson up and my god, the son of a bitch lands Knightmare in Philly. The Uranage spiking Jackson down hard. Hazama makes a half-hearted cover.

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
THREE!!!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 12 points... RYO HAZAMA!!!

Medical staff check on Jackson, waving a flashlight in his eyes to check for a concussion. They don't find signs of one and four of them help Jackson to the back for further testing while Ryo claps in the ring. He smiles at the camera and heads to the back.

Martinez: My god. Jackson just went through hell at the hands of the devil.

Loydson: Ryo Hazama is one cold son of a bitch.

MATCH SEVEN
JOSH GAVIN (6) VS ASRIEL BUZZARD (8)
BORT B-BLOCK MATCH FOR HBO BROADCAST CHAMPIONSHIP (9th Defense Of 1st Champion)
REF: TOYO YASAHIRO

---

Chriqui: The following match is a BORT B-Block Match and is for the EWC HBO Broadcast Championship. Introducing first, currently at 6 points. From New Brunswick, Canada & weighing in at 245 pounds. The Challenger... JOSH GAVIN!!!

Josh Gavin makes his way out at the exact moment as Fuel’s chorus hits. Gavin raises his arms side to side and looses a war cry.

Gavin pumps up the crowd as he marches down the ramp. Gavin climbs up to the apron and points out to the crowd. He spins across the ropes as he slides toward the other end of the apron, and points to that side of the crowd. Gavin climbs into the ring, and climbs the top rope, holding his arms out once more.

Chriqui: And his opponent, currently at 8 points. From Hill City, Kansas & weighing in at 196 pounds. The Champion in his 9th defense... ASRIEL BUZZARD!!!

“IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?”

As the first notes of Machine Head pound through the arena, images of the Great Plains appear on the tron, mixed with pictures of crosses and churches. Spotlights flash around the arena but focus on the stage as the drums and heavier riff starts and Asriel Buzzard appears through the curtain.

“COME ON!”

He stands at the top of the ramp, eyes closed and fists clenched in front of his chest for a few seconds. After opening his eyes, he starts to march to the ring, glaring at the fans putting their hands out over the barrier. He circles the ring twice after arriving at ringside.

“THE PARANOIA, DROPS ME TO MY KNEES”

Asriel walks up the ring steps, dashes along the apron and climbs to the top rope.

“CAUSE NO FLAG CAN MEAN BRAVERY WHEN BLOODIED BY SLAVERY, THE REBEL, A DEVIL, DISGUISED AS A SAVIOR”

On the top rope, Asriel holds his arms aloft then brings them to his chest where he holds them together briefly before leaping down into the ring and removing his jacket.

Martinez: Gavin Vs Buzzard II, a rematch many were excited to see would come with The BORT.

Loydson: With the most excited being Josh Gavin I'd say.

DING DING DING

Josh and Buzzard tie-up, the much larger Josh is able to get the advantage and throws on a headlock. Buzzard backs Josh up to the corner, Josh releases the hold as Toyo tells him to. Buzzard sends his head back colliding with Josh's before turning and laying into Josh with three quick European Uppercuts. Josh fires back with his own European uppercut and then a wild clothesline. Buzzard rolls up his feet, but Josh grabs him by his neck and throws him back into the corner with a choke-toss. Josh leans into Buzzard with several European uppercuts. Buzzard grabs at Josh's eyes to back him out of the corner. Josh turns the eye gouging into a side-headlock into a snap suplex. Buzzard keeps the hold and swivels his hips to bring both himself and Josh Gavin up. Buzzard drops the side-headlock and pulls Buzzard forward into him for a quick piledriver and cover.

ONE... KICKOUT BY JOSH GAVIN.

Martinez: These men aren't holding back here tonight.

Buzzard pulls Gavin up into a side-headlock and lands a second snap-suplex. He makes his way to the ropes and climbs to the top. Buzzard looks ready to go for his trademark Shooting Star Press but Gavin quickly vertical leaps onto the top turnbuckle while kneeing Buzzard in the stomach. Buzzard falls off the top and crashes to the padded concrete! Buzzard pulls himself up as Josh jumps from the top and catches him with a flying knee! Josh crashes to the padded concrete and grabs at his leg while the impact sends Buzzard flying backwards grabbing at his jaw. Josh pulls himself up using the barricade. He measures up Buzzard pulling himself up the stairs, and rushes into a Dragelix Kick, but Buzzard rolls out of the way last second and Josh crashing into the stairs! Josh grabs at his leg and screams out. Buzzard pulls himself up and grabs Josh's leg before spinning into a dragon-screw-leg-whip! A little something he picked up from Iggy Swango.

Loydson: Josh might be out of this one, his leg is done.

Buzzard stomps down on Josh's chest and knee. Toyo is up to eight on his count as Buzzard rolls Josh and himself back into the ring. Buzzard drags Josh up to a knee while grabbing on a headlock and ripping Josh into another snap suplex. Buzzard gets to his feet, he stumbles around a bit but finds his footing. Buzzard waits for Josh to stand, begging him to get to his feet. Buzzard advances for a Redeemer superkick but Josh scoops him up and drops him with a powerbomb! Josh lets out a scream of rage as he rushes the ropes and comes in landing a perfect Dragelix Kick flush the back of Buzzard's head! Josh pulls himself up and slaps his leg. He yells at Buzzard, then he yells at the crowd. Buzzard begins to stand, Josh hits the ropes and comes in with a Dragel... BUZZARD HITS THE DECK AND JOSH FLIES OVER HIM! Josh crashes hard to the canvas, and his leg slams into the bottom rope. Josh grabs at his back and his leg as he tries to stand to relive the pain and REDEEMER SUPERKICK! Buzzard drags Josh up to his knees and backs into the ropes. Buzzard comes in and lands The Release FLUSH on Josh's jaw! Buzzard makes a deep cover, hooking Josh's leg as far as he can.

ONE!

.
.
TWO!!

THREE!!!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 10 points... ASRIEL BUZZARD!!!

Buzzard pulls himself up, and then he crashes back down. The damage of another brutal title match on display. Buzzard. Buzzard crawls to the ropes and pulls himself up, yelling for his title. Josh Gavin sits up, he seems out of it but you can see the disappointment on his face. He got that close but no one kicks out of The Release. Buzzard exits the ring with his title while Josh sits in contemplation at the loss.

Martinez: That was an impressive showing for Josh Gavin, but in the end.. no one kicks out of The Release.

Loydson: Josh Gavin gave his all, but I am beginning to think Buzzard isn't dropping that title until he dies.

Gideon Gage is backstage throwing stuff around when Grizzly Duggan approaches him.

Gage: WHAT YOU BEARDED FUCK?

Grizzly smiles and gets right into Gage's face.

Duggan: Slapping around Ellen is one thing. But Peirce Patterson? When will you fucking learn.

Gage: FUCK YOU. THIS ISN'T SCHOOL AND YOU AREN'T MY TEACHER. SHE WAS A LOVELY LADY WHO SMELLED OF APPLE SAUCE. YOU SMELL LIKE MUSTY DICKS IN A BLENDER WITH MOLDY CHEESE AND TOBASCO SAUCE.

Duggan: I am granting Iggy Swango the steel cage match with you. And I am fining you 150K dollars.

Gage: WHAT!?

Duggan: Inside voice please.

Duggan heads off towards his office. Gideon Gage whisper yells as he leaves.

Gage: ^{You Bearded FUCK!}

EZRA JAMES (8) VS QUEEN MELODY MALONE (10)
BORT A-BLOCK MATCH FOR UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP (8th Defense for Malone)
REF: TOYO YASAHIRO

Chriqui: The following match is a BORT A-Block Match and is for the EWC United States Championship. Introducing first, currently at 8 points. From The Birthplace of Fear and Loathing & weighing in at 220 pounds. The Challenger... EZRA JAMES!!!

The arena turns dark, the screens begin to glow a dark red which bathe the entire arena in the color that’s when the opening notes of Xandria's metal opera 'Nightfall' storm out over the PA system. Just as the guitar gets going out from the back steps out Ezra James, Violent M.D wearing his normal ring attire, as he begins to walk towards the ring he takes out a pair of blue surgical gloves and begins to put them on his hands making sure they are snug and flexible. A couple of fans reach out looking for contact and Ezra side steps the unwashed rabble giving them a glare followed by a glove covered finger point and some harsh words.

Chriqui: And his opponent, currently at 10 points. From San Diego, California & weighing in at 147 pounds. The EWC United States Champion in her 8th defense... QUEEN MELODY MALONE!!!

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, flanked by her personal retainer Rory Hyland. Melody stands with a crown atop her head as a spotlight follows them down to the ring.

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

Rory climbs onto the apron first, holding the ropes open as Melody climbs the stairs and steps through with her chin held up to keep the crown atop her head. She gives the crowd a sarcastic smile as they boo, and she gingerly removes the crown from her head and hands it off to Rory as he exits.

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.

Martinez: Ezra James Vs Melody Malone, this is quite the hyped match after a breakout BORT for Ezra. He could very well end Malone's reigh here tonight.

Loydson: He absolutely could, but we know how badly Malone wants to be champion heading into Day 7 Vs Ryo Hazama. More than anything else in this world today.

DING DING DING

Melody Malone and Ezra James circle each other, both knowing how important this match really is. Ezra steps into the center of the ring, looking for a tie-up. Malone answers back by landing a standing dropkick that sends Ezra back into the ropes. Ezra comes flying out into a standing enziguri by Malone. Ezra stumbles to his left, but he doesn't fall over. Instead he stumbles into the ropes, Malone grabs on a headlock and springboards off those ropes into a bulldog to bring Ezra down. Malone goes for the cover but Ezra kicks out at once. Malone drags Ezra up into a headlock as she backs into the corner. Malone jumps out looking for a tornado DDT but Ezra stops her by pulling her into a suplex! Ezra pops his hips to roll up and land a 2nd suplex. Ezra pops his hips and is able to land a third! Ezra drags Malone up by her hair and lands a heavy forearm into her jaw, followed by a jawbreaker and then a neck twister. Ezra mounts Malone and forearms her jaw a until Toyo shoves him off.

Martinez: Seems Ezra is testing if Malone has a glass jaw for a KO victory.

Malone gets to her feet, rubbing her jaw. Ezra jumps into a dropkick into Malone's stomach that sends her into the ropes. Ezra gets to his feet and rushes at Malone but Malone drops down and grabs the top rope so Ezra tumbles to the outside! Malone rolls to the apron and jump into OFF WITH THEIR H... Ezra grabs Malone as she grabs him and quickly gets her up for a Necessary Brain Surgery brainbuster onto the padded concrete! Ezra drags Malone up by her hair and whips her into the ring-post, there is a loud thud as her jaw hits the metal and she's clotheslined where she hit. Malone pulls herself up using the apron, and Ezra rushes her to dropkick under the bottom rope into the ring, under the other bottom rope into her jaw! Malone flies backwards while Ezra rolls back out of the ring to stomp on Malone's face repeatedly. Toyo breaks them up and sends Ezra back into the ring. He asks Malone if she'll continue, and through a badly swollen jaw she tells him to fuck himself.

Loydson: That's our Queen.

Malone pulls herself up using the barricade, and then she grabs a visibly cold water bottle from the announcers desk to place against her jaw. Malone moves her jaw some while rubbing the cold bottle on it. She drops the bottle and rolls back into the ring. Ezra goes for the stomp but Malone grabs his leg and taking a move from her partner, hits a dragon-screw-leg-whip. Malone pulls herself up the ropes and grabs Ezra's leg in an ankle lock but Ezra quickly turns around to mule kick Malone in the jaw. Ezra gets to his feet and rushes into a chop-block on the back of Malone's leg while her back is turned to him. Ezra drags Malone back up by her hair and locks for another Necessary Brain Surgery, but Malone fights out of it and slips to Ezra's back. Malone grabs Ezra's head and jumps into a double knee facebreaker, but to the back of his head! Crowning Achievement! Malone rolls up to her feet, Ezra tries to stand but Malone stomps the back of his head sending him face first into the canvas! The Queen’s Exile! Ezra again gets to his hands and knees to stand and ANOTHER Queen’s Exile! Ezra again tries to stand, Malone climbs to the top turnbuckle. Ezra is up, he turns and screams at Malone for more pain as she jumps into OFF WITH HIS HEAD! The springboard cutter has enough impact to send Ezra flying into the center of the ring. Malone jumps into a cover!

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 12 points. AND STILL EWC UNITED STATES CHAMPION... MELODY MALONE!!!

Melody Malone pulls herself up, and grabs at her significantly swollen jaw. She stumbles backwards but finds her footing. She is handed her title and she raises it high into the air. Ezra James is rolled out of the ring by medical staff and helped to his feet, his jaw is also noticeably swollen at this point.

Martinez: Ezra James took Malone to her limit here tonight, but she found the strength to finish this and retain her title. I have no doubt in my mind Ryo Hazama watched this match and took note of the damage done to Malone's jaw. He will surely look to capitalize on that.

Loydson: And I hope the people in the back have been watching Ezra's entire BORT run. This kid could be Undisputed Champion after he hones his skills, but for tonight. Melody wanted the win more and she took it.

Martinez: Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you enjoyed BORT Day 6. One more day to go before Scars & Stripes 2021. It's been one hell of a ride. We'll catch you next time.
