While 'Courtesy Call' by Thousand Foot Krutch blares over the loudspeakers at every location, a multi colored lightshow lights up the sky in a display that gets the fans screaming the EWC PRIME namesake. Brilliant blue spotlights swirl over the cheering crowds, whipping them up into a near-frenzy of excitement at the show to come.
Cameras flash all around the arena as the X-Tron cycles through Prime's roster. Lavender, Aeon Khronos, Dio, Mark Keaton, Xavier Reid, Lorenzo, Narumi Tsutsumi, Tyler Bradford, Saidie Sharpe, Aaron Kostan, Dalilah Ashe, Megumi, Aiya, Scorpio, Jamie Love, Roozilla, Abdul Alhazred, Eddie Dozier, Carrie Sampson, KU and newly signed Amber Lisa Hall are all featured.
We also get some extra footage of the current Champions on PRIME as we see Scorpio with the Showtime Broadcast Championship and then Dio holding the Indy Championship over his head.
After one final pan over the crowd, we get some shots of a few of the signs being held up by the fans ..

The camera centers on ringside at the D'Cocque fans stand up, pumping their fists and cheering. One last round of fireworks blast out now, and we turn our attention to Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir ..
Evans: Welcome to Prime! We are live from D'Cocque here in beautiful Luxembourg!
Kushnir: It is great to be here tonight and what a card we have for you.
Evans: We have the headhuntress Aiya taking on Roozilla. We have Abdul Alhazred teaming with Snoop Solano to face Senshi Of The Blade and we have what some, not me but some, are calling the battle of the babes as Dalilah Ashe takes on Carrie Sampson and Amber Liza Hall in a Triple Threat Match
Kushnir: You'd better not. In addition to those we have Saidie Sharp versus Aaron Kostan, the next round of the Sweet 16 will take the Prime entrants from two to one as Sabotage and The Young Lions duke it out. And in our main event it's champion versus Champion as Xavier Reid battles Dio!
Evans: You can't have D'Cocque without Dio.
Kushnir: What you sayin'?
Evans: Just that Prime deserves to have it's Indy Champion in our main event.
Kushnir: Speaking of things you can't take your eyes off, let's have a look at the latest from EWCTV commercial

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Dalilah Ashe
Vs Carrie Samson
Vs Amber Lisa Hall
Match Writer: Prime
Dalilah Ashe
Vs Carrie Samson
Vs Amber Lisa Hall
Match Writer: Prime
We return to ringside where we see the announce table.
Evans: We start of with a Triple Threat Match featuring returners, debutants and the always nice to see.
Reid: The following match is is a Triple Threat Match set for one fall. Joining us first, from Dallas, Texas, weighing in at 125 pounds ... CARRIE SAMSON!
Bright lights quickly start floating around the arena as "Miss You" by Blink 182 begins to play. Carrie Samson saunters out onto the stage with a smile before bouncing down the ramp. She leaps onto the ring apron then jumps over the ring ropes. She continues to bounce around.
Reid: And the opponents, first from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 135 pounds ... AMBER LISA HALL!
Run It came blasting over the speakers as Amber stood on the top of the ramp with her leather jacket on with a smirk across her face. She comes out playing to the crowd a bit before she climbs inside of the ring. She takes off her jacket with a smile looking over at the opponents with a grin ready to start
Reid: And now from out of the Darkness of your Desires, she is the most Beautiful of Tragedies, the Sweetest of the Deadly Sins and the Last Temptation that you will ever need. She is the Vicious Mistress:
DALILAH ASHE
Committed by One-Eyed Doll begins to play and a purple glow illuminates the arena and a violet mist rises from the stage bringing with it the smell dying roses.
Just Another Mental Patient
How I wish this Room Was Vacant
Can't Seem To Break Through These Padded Walls
How I wish this Room Was Vacant
Can't Seem To Break Through These Padded Walls
The curtain parts as Dalilah Ashe appears wearing a crown of black roses and thorns which prick her pale brow bringing small drops of dark red blood. She opens her arms to hold the crowd in the long cold embrace of her contempt.

Locked Up in this Nuthouse Crying
All these Drugs My Brain is Frying
Doctor Says the Lunatic Needs More
Cocking her head to one side and holding her arms stiff at her sides she begins a long zombie walk to the ring, followed closely by her handler Lacey Savage. Climbing stiffly up onto the apron she looms over the audience like some ancient goddess of lust and death. She smiles down at them, slowly wetting her painted lips with the tip of her tongue before throwing her head back with a mocking laugh. She slides between the ropes with an evil expression to stare down her opponent with a wicked grin and nothing but bad intentions.Strap Me Down they Must Sedate Me
Poke Me, Prod Me, Irritate Me
No Choice but to be the Needle's Whore
DING DING DING
Samson and Ashe start trading Right Hands before Hall grabs Samson hitting a German Suplex. Ashe grabs Hall looking to apply a Code Red but Hall Backdrops Ashe onto Samson. Hall lifts Ashe for something but Ashe punches Hall's knee. She takes a step back and fires a Buzzsaw kick but Hall ducks it and hits a Powerslam. Before Hall can get back to her feet, Samson blasts her with a Shinning Wizard. Samson hits Hall with Right Hands before sending Hall off the ropes. Hall reverses it sending Samson off the ropes instead. Hall takes her eyes off Samson a second too long and pays for it with a Floatover Neckbreaker. Samson turns in time to receive a V-Trigger to the face from Ashe who follows up with an Implant Buster. Before Ashe can follow it up, Hall runs at her hitting a Clothesline. Hall then lifts Ashe hitting three Rolling Suplexes that roll from one side of the ring to the other before finishing with a Falcon Arrow. She makes the cover.

Reid: And your winner, via pinfall ... CARRIE SAMSON!!!
Evans: Care Bear? More like Care-nage. There are bodies all over
Kushnir: That is a huge result for Carrie Samson. She'll be hoping it propels her further up the rankings here on Prime.
Samson climbs to the middle turnbuckle and takes a moment to look out at the crowd. She jumps down and screams in celebration as the emotion of the result catches up with her
Evans: Exactly. There is nothing better for a return than a win like she got here tonight
Kushnir: Speaking of returns, look what has turned up in the back
The camera cuts to ...
The show cuts to backstage at d’Coque as the crowd quieten down busy watching on the X-Tron. Suddenly the quiet breaks into a chorus of boos as we see the classic Louboutin heeled boots strut into shot and the camera pans up to show Scorpio stood with the Showtime Broadcast Championship over his shoulder. He smirks at the crowd reaction before he continues down the corridor.
Evans: The S-Factor is here!
Kushnir: The last time we saw Scorpio he was crashing through the ceilings of the Insanity Cage alongside Ace King after King’s historic win. He looked furious to have narrowly lost out on winning the Undisputed Championship…
Evans: … and I dare say that fury won’t have settled in the intervening days.
As Scorpio walks through the halls the sound of hurrying footsteps approaches from behind him. He turns around quickly with a sneer on his face and rolls his eyes as he sees the Prime doctor approaching. The physician looks concerned.
Doctor: Scorpio you’re not cleared to compete after Night of Champions, you can’t be here…
Scorpio: *in a mocking voice* “Scorpio you’re not cleared to compete”—oh fuck off you utter fucking bore. Do you really expect me to take medical advice from one of Mac’s stooges? Just because you’ve got a stethoscope round your neck doesn’t make you any less corrupt than the rest of them!
Doctor: What? No I’m the brand’s doctor my job is to—
Scorpio: I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY! Once again ONCE A-FUCKING-GAIN this company deliberately screwed me over to ensure their guy got the win. You all saw me throw that ugly biblical bastard off the top and yet CONVENIENTLY the only one the cameras caught properly was Dio going for a ride? Hmm? HMMMM?! Darling I see right through your doctor guise.
The doctor looks exasperated as Scorpio turns to leave. He reaches out and grabs the Showtime Broadcast Champion’s shoulder – causing Scorpio to lash out and shove the doctor against the wall! He moans in pain as Scorpio’s mouth twists into a smirk.
Scorpio: I’m fine. I’m more than fine, I’m better than ever. Now piss off and tend to some independent gutter-trash’s hurty boo-boos I’m not even planning on wrestling tonight… I’m here for Victor Price…
He storms off down the corridor, his heels click-clacking on the concrete floor, and the S-Factor disappears from view.
Kushnir: What were you saying about that fury?
Evans: Well quite…
SINGLES MATCH
'Headhuntress' Aiya
Vs Roozilla
Match Writer: Prime
'Headhuntress' Aiya
Vs Roozilla
Match Writer: Prime
We return to ringside where Evans looks at the camera.
Evans: Scorpio and Price? That can't end well.
Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, residing in Rule Breaker University, weighing in at 239 pounds he is The Roozy One, The Professor of Rule Breaking, don't worry, I'm nearly done. He is Roo Diddy, the CEO of The Roo Crew ... ROOZILLA!
Meet Me in the Dark by Otherwise begins to play as the lights dim to a dark hue of purples mixed with blue. Roozilla stands at the entrance ramp with his back turned to the ring. He stands quietly with his arms down to his side as he takes his heavy breaths before turning his torso backwards towards the audience and the ring.
He turns and looks out into the crowd surveying his surroundings before rearing backwards arching his shoulders as his arms raise as he howls liked a bewildered beast. With his motions loud growls as heard by Godzilla are heard over his entrance theme.
Directly after his beat roar both his manager and valet Babyface Badley and Jules Cassidy walk up to his side as they begin walking towards the ring.
The jeers of the crowd entices him to mock fans as he walks down the isle. He steps onto the steps and then the ring apron. He turns with his back to the ropes and again makes mocking jesters towards the audience. He turns placing both hands onto the top rope and springs into the ring. His manager and valet both stay on the outside of the ring as his music ends with him acting as though he's going to backhand the referee and then laughs as he backs away towards his corner.
Reid: And the opponent, from Kyoto, Japan and weighing in at 137 pounds ... 'HEADHUNTRESS' AIYA!
As “Killer” by JJ Lin plays over the PA system, a fog appears near the curtains. As it slowly fades away, we see the form of “Headhuntress” Aiya standing at the top of the ramp. She saunters down, entering the ring through the middle and top ropes. Aiya then leans against the ring, already looking as if she’s making a game plan in her head whilst waiting for her opponent to enter the ring.
DING DING DING
Roozilla runs at Aiya with a Clothesline that Aiya ducks before catching him with a Slap across the face. Aiya applies a Side Headlock. Roozilla pushes Aiya off the ropes and catches her with an Inverted Atomic Drop followed by a Neckbreaker. Roozilla lifts Aiya to her feet and throws her into the corner. Roozilla peppers Aya with Right Hands and Back Elbows before dragging her face across the top rope. Roozilla charges at Aiya but she catches him with a raised boot. Roozilla shakes it off and charges again. Aiya ducks a clothesline causing Roozilla to hit the ropes. Aiya manages to lift Roozilla hitting a Go To Sleep. she makes a cover.
ONE...

THR... NO! KICK OUT!

ONE...
TWO...
THR... NO! KICK OUT!
Evans: A big kick out from that Piledriver.
Kushnir: A big kick out is one thing, she neds to follow up quickly or the kickout is for nothing.
Roozilla lifts Aiya to her feet before grabbing her applying Rule No. 2. Aiya clutches her throat as Roozilla runs off the ropes booting Aiya in the face. She crumples to the mat as Roozilla makes a cover
ONE...
TWO...
THR... NO! KICK OUT!
Aiya gets a shoulder off the canvas in time to break the count. Roozilla lifts her too her feet applying a front Facelock. Aiya pushes him away before lashing out with a Superkick. Roozilla catches it but that may be Aiya's plan as she transitions it into a Lights Out. She covers

This time Aiya gets a shoulder up. Roozilla lifts Aiya to her feet but she kicks at his left knee dropping him to the mat. Aiya takes a couple of steps back before hitting an OTK
ONE...

THREE!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall ... 'HEADHUNTRESS' AIYA!!!
Evans: What a match and what a big win for The Headhuntress
Kushnir: You got to question if that foot on the rope is what lead to his downfall. It was all going well for him until the.
In the ring, Aiya stands on the middle turnbuckle with her arms raised to the roof yelling with joy. She climbs down and holds her arms in the air as she makes her way back up the ramp.
Evans: I do love seeing her smile.
Kushnir: You don't help your own case do you? Speaking of cases, Jenna Salvatore is on the case of a briefcase
The camera cuts to ...
Jenna Salvatore: Where’s the PRIMETime Briefcase?!!
Narumi’s smile fades at the mention of her briefcase, but she closes her eyes to mask her anxiety on the matter. She then reopens her eyes and replies with a quirp to lighten herself up.
Narumi Tsutsumi: I didn’t expect to find the “hanger of gratuitous dong” in the girl's restroom, silly. I have my briefcase with the rest of my baggage. Besides, I was freshening up, Megumi and I have some serious allegations to refute tonight. Snoop thinks he’s cuter than us!
Jenna Salvatore: Excuse me, I just wanted to be sure you had it tonight. Lately, it seems your activities have the briefcase getting more attention on Brawl and PPVs rather than its home base of Prime. Speaking of PPV, you did see Dio get thrown off the Insanity Cage into the flaming table right?
Narumi Tsutsumi: Yes, I saw it. But after everything that man has done for Prime, did people truly want me to steal the championship from him after that? And is that the type of person I want to be?
There’s uncertainty in Narumi’s voice as she avoids eye contact and thinks about the temptation that calls to her. The fact her cash in can go on to define her career plagues Narumi’s mind, the fact a dark part of her doesn’t want to care what the masses think also bothers her as a senshi.
Jenna Salvatore: Many people would have taken that shot, do you REALLY want to be Indy Champion?
Narumi Tsutsumi: Of course I do!
Narumi had blurted out in anger but now recomposes herself.
Narumi Tsutsumi: I get it. A lot of people think it’s simple and easy. Most of my critics would have no qualms about being the main cause of Victor Price chewinb out the locker room and then go onto screw over our locker room leader. The others can easily beat Dio whenever they want, unlike the current and former Undisputed Champions he beats. I apologize to everyone who always has life figured out and have the perfect approach to everything they do, but for those who don’t and struggle with finding their way…..I promise I’ll show that with time and effort, we can make it too.
Jenna Salvatore: I meant no offense, but with how you seem to have fun and drink sake lately, some ponder how much thought you put into things.
Narumi shakes her head.
Narumi Tsutsumi: Believe me, I always have everything running around in my mind. That’s why I need a few pick me ups. I know my “crux” is once again leaving himself wide open in the upcoming main event war vs Xavier Reid. I constantly think about my briefcase and how to use it. I went to Brawl to make sure I still had what it takes on my own and to improve. I even thought of going to Rampage in my birthplace of Shinjuku. I’m thinking of the EWC Rumble. Thinking of how winning it would mean I can go straight to the top, and face either of two men I have a problem with. Ace King, who I haven’t forgotten nor forgiven how he treated me as a human being towards Parabellum. Even worse, Scorpio, who does me dishonours almost every other speech of his by throwing Jamie Love and me under the bus.
Narumi looks up.
Narumi Tsutsumi: The passing of the EWC Rumble can clear a lot of things up for me. I know no one thinks I can win, but nobody thought I should have entered Legends of the Cage nor G1 as a rookie either. The last time I was in Australia I proved everyone wrong with arguably my biggest victory by becoming Showtime Broadcast Champion! Once we come back up from Down Under, the world might find me with another shot to change the landscape of the EWC.
Suddenly Narumi smiles as her partner’s voice is heard. Jenna turns around to see Megumi mid-speech in Japanese.
Megumi: Narumi-chan, what’s taking you so long? Oh, you’re being held captive. Try our newest formation!
Jenna Salvatore: Huh, what did you say?
Jenna turns around to get answers from Narumi, but she’s escaped off-screen. Jenny turns back around, to see Megumi has playfully ghosted her too.
Jenna Salvatore: HEY!
Jenna puts her hands up as the camera cuts.

Vs Abdul Alhazred & Snoop Solano
Match Writer: Prime
Senshi Of The Blade
Vs Abdul Alhazred & Snoop Solano
Match Writer: Prime
We return to ringside where Evans raises an eyebrow at the camera.
Evans: Maybe we'll have a better chance of them standing still as they're up next against Snoop Solano and Abdul Alhazred
Reid: The following match is a tag team match and it's set for one fall. Joining us first, from Cali, Columbia, weighing in at 214 pounds ... SNOOP SOLANO!
Snoop Solano marches down the ramp through a smoke screen of apparent dry ice, his white vest showing his cut chest and abdomen. He gives a shout of “Come On” stepping into the ring giving his vest to the stage hand as Thief’s Theme begins to fade in the background.
Reid: And his partner, from Singapore, weighing in at 300 pounds ... ABDUL ALHAZRED!
Before the theme starts to play in the background, "The Truth shall set you free" echoes through the arena and a second later the music of 'Black Cat Nero' starts to play as he makes his way out from the entrance tunnel and stares at the crowd. He shakes in disapproval as he starts to make his way to the ring, he doesn't acknowledge the crowd or even react to what they say to him. The moment he reach the ring, he open up the hood and stares at the hard camera for a few seconds and then stares at his opponent.
Reid: And the opponents, at a total combined weight of 255 pounds Narumi Tsutsumi & Megumi ... SENSHI OF THE BLADE!
“Some Like it Hot!!” By Raon Lee hits as Narumi Tsutsumi and Megumi enter the scene at “Hey! Hey! Samurai Heart!”, pumping each other and the crowd up for the fight to come. In the ring Megumi does a sword swipe motion as Narumi hands form a heart sign.
DING DING DING
Solano and Megumi start. Both look for a Collar and Elbow tie up but Megumi ducks and runs off the ropes. Right into a Clothesline from Solano. He then hits Megumi with a Snap Suplex. Solano lifts Megumi off the mat and whips her off the ropes. She manages to duck a standing Heel Kick before hitting a Superkick that staggers Solano. Megumi whips Solano off the ropes but Solano counters it pulling Megumi toward him and up for a Pop up Powerbomb that Megumi counters with a Hurricanrana. Megumi fires a Superkick at Solano that he catches. Solano pushes Megumi's leg away but she spins hitting Solano with a Spinning Heel Kick. Megumi climbs to the top turnbuckle but Solano rolls to his corner tagging in Alhazred. Undaunted, Megumi leaps at him but Alhazred catches her and Body Slams her to the mat. Megumi gets to her feet and runs at Alhazred but he drops her with a Clothesline and throws her to her corner where Narumi tags in.
Narumi climbs to the top turnbuckle and leaps over Alhazred, Dropkicking him in the shoulderblades as she goes. Alhazred turns to face Narumi as she runs off the ropes hitting him with a Superman Punch. Alhazred doesn't flinch instead hitting Narumi with a Right Hand that knocks her down. She gets to her feet and runs at Alhazred who hits a Sidewalk Slam. He drapes an arm across her chest.
ONE...
TWO...
THR... NO! KICK OUT!

DING DING DING
Reid: And your winners, via pinfall ... SENSHI OF THE BLADE!!!
Evans: A huge misunderstanding has lead to the downfall of this team!
Kushnir: Take nothing away from Megumi and Tsutsumi they kept on going when the big Alhazred was throwing them around the ring to pick up a huge win here tonight
Senshi of the Blade hug each other before bowing to the cheering crowd in a show of respect while Alhazred watches from the middle of the ramp
Evans: A huge show of respect here but that has to be looked at as an upset
Kushnir: That it was. Will there be another upset next as Aaron Kostan is heading to the ring to face Saidie Sharpe
The camera cuts to ...
Backstage, the camera pans around to see Aaron Kostan walking by himself with a box of Sour Patch Kids in his hand and a smile on his face. He glances from one side to the other as if looking for someone before finally walking up on what appears to be one of the production staff.
Aaron: “Hey man, where is everybody?”
Crew Member: “Oh they’re around somewhere. Everyone has their own little routines.”
Aaron: “Fair enough. I haven’t really had a chance to talk to much of the locker room yet. I figured I’d try to spark some conversations tonight before my own match...but no luck. I can’t find any of them!”
Crew Member: “Well-”
Aaron: “What’s your name, man?”
Crew Member: “Steve.”
Aaron: “Steve? Aaron...Nice to meet you.”
Aaron extends his hand and the two men shake hands before Kostan throws a couple of Sour Patch Kids in his mouth. He turns the open end towards Steve who politely declines with a shake of his head.
Aaron: “So tell me Steve, I’ve wrestled at two of these events so far...how am I looking?”
Steve: “Well I’ve been around for a while. The world of wrestling is a smorgasbord of bold personalities, psychopaths, monsters, all star athletes. You can find almost every personality type here.”
Aaron: “And where do I fit into this buffet of yours?”
Steve: “You’re one of the good guys.”
The Artist gives a questioning glance as he seems to pick up on a slight hint of concern in the man’s voice.
Aaron: “You say that like it’s a bad thing.”
Steve: “I’ve seen this world chew up and spit out the good guys more than once.”
Aaron chuckles.
Aaron: “Oh Steve, we’ve only just met, and you’re already worried about me?”
Steve: “I’m just calling it like I see it. You compliment your opponents in your promos, you want to try to spark friendly conversations with them backstage...I’m just not sure that ends well for you.”
Aaron: “You’re right...I’ve seen the wrestling world change some good people, hurt some good people, including one of the greatest men I know, my father. But to me, that’s all the more reason for me to be here fighting the good fight, respecting the sport, and respecting those who work so hard to be good at it.”
Steve: “And that sounds great, and you can probably do that for a bit, but then-”
Aaron: “People start taking advantage of that and using you as their own little stepping stone?”
Steve: “Exactly.”
Aaron: “I’ve been there. I’m not afraid to admit that in my past, some of my opponents have gotten the better of me and I ended up being a pawn in a much more elaborate scheme. Heck, Saidie is already trying to use me as a stepping stone right now to get that rematch with Scorpio.”
Steve: “Case in point.”
Aaron: “That’s just the nature of life. Sometimes you’re the stepping stone and sometimes your the boot. The ones who get spit out are the ones that focus too much on that outcome and not on the journey. If you fall you get back up. Fall again? Get back up. One day you’ll learn from your mistakes enough to stop falling...or lady luck will finally glance your way.”
Steve: “And if that doesn’t happen?”
Aaron: “Then at least you did something instead of crying at home about wasting your life.”
There’s a silence between the two men as Steve peers quizzically off to the side, clearly wondering how this conversation shifted to the philosophy of life.
Steve: “So uh, what’s the plan for your match tonight then?”
Aaron: “Oh...I have every intention of winning and taking that championship match Saidie rightfully deserves right out from under her.”
Steve: “Sounds a little outcome focused.”
Aaron smiles as it seems he’s been tripped up by his own words.
Aaron: “Hey hey hey...you’ve gotta have goals.”
He slaps Steve on the back as he begins to walk away. He reaches back and hands the box of candy to the crew member before continuing.
Aaron: “I’ve got a match to prepare for. Thanks for the chat, you have yourself a good night.”
Steve: “Wait, why did you give me this?”
Aaron: “I don’t like wasting food, but I don’t need to eat anymore. You keep them.”
The camera pans back to Steve. As the scene fades he whispers under his breath.
Steve: “I don’t even like these things...”
We cut backstage to Victor Price’s office and the crowd gives a smattering of cheers for the Prime General Manager as the camera focuses on his nameplate on the office door. The cheers become intense boos as Scorpio steps into shot shoving his way through the door. The S-Factor catches the Prime General Manager unawares and Price immediately gets to his feet with his fists clenched. Seeing the Showtime Broadcast Champion his fists relax slightly, however the two men remain staring one another down.
Price: I should really kick your ass for not knocking…
Scorpio: Ok Victor, sounds good, and then who from Prime is going to score you the Undisputed Championship? Dio from behind his burns bandages? Or maybe one of the other no-name no-championship lot could give it a bash—
Price: I presume you came into my office with some sort of point rather than just to cause an argument?
A smile develops over the Prime Minister’s face.
Scorpio: I’ve been thinking…
Price: Explains why you’ve been signed off unfit to wrestle, must have really taken it out of you.
The crowd give a loud laugh as Scorpio clenches his teeth so hard you can almost hear his jaw cracking. Price smirks and gestures for Scorpio to continue speaking.
Scorpio: I’m already the longest-reigning Showtime Broadcast Champion since its inception—
Price: You’ve also managed to never defend the title that’s designed to be defended every week…
Scorpio: Mere pointless technicalities. The important thing I’m at almost double the second longest reign and I’m the number one contender to darling Ace’s Undisputed Championship. I presume you wouldn’t be displeased if I were to take that title from him and bring it to Sunday nights?
He raises an eyebrow and Price replicates the gesture showing his interest.
Scorpio: Listen I know technically I don’t actually wrestle for the EWC because of all that nonsense where Danny Mac abused his position of power to fire me unjustly… but I think I’ve fought my way back to a position where I need to be allowed to work outside of Prime. If I’m going to get into Ace’s head and take his title from him… again… then I’m going to need access to the rest of the EWC brands. So, do you think maybe you could take a moment out of your busy diary sorting out matches for such talents as Jamie Love and whatever the name of his sidekick is and organise that for me?
Price looks steely at being ordered around by one of his employees as he steps forward, almost going nose-to-nose with Scorpio. The two are staring each other down intently as Price inhales sharply.
Price: If you ever… ever… presume to strut your sequinned self into my office and start telling me what to do ever again I will strip you of that title you never defend and tear up your free agent contract with Prime quicker than you can accuse me of being tenuously linked to President Mac’s regime.
Scorpio: I—
Price: I AM NOT FINISHED. Not only will I strip you of your title and your place here, but I will hand your Undisputed Championship shot straight to Jamie Love’s whats-his-name sidekick and I’ll make sure he wins the damn title just to prove he can do something that you couldn’t.
Scorpio: Wha—
Price: That being said the success of Prime is what I come to work for, and at the moment you’re a big part of building on that, no matter how much that might make me feel physically sick. Which is why before you even thought of coming to my office I’d already squared it away that between now and The Rumble Down Under you’re granted permission to appear on any EWC show.
There’s a brief moment of tense silence as Price grins at the fact he’s beaten Scorpio to the punch, and the S-Factor weighs up how to respond. Eventually he steps back from the staredown and gives a single curt nod.
Scorpio: Good.
Price rolls his eyes at the performance of it all before he sits down behind his desk once more and gestures for The S-Factor to leave. Scorpio mutters a series of swears under his breath before he heads to the door, only for Victor Price to break the silence again.
Price: That being said if you’re so desperate to get into Ace King’s head I don’t know why you’re trying to get access to the other shows when you can do it right here on Prime?
Scorpio: What the fuck are you talking about now...?
Price: Ace King’s here. He and El Pablo have come to scout out competition for the tag tournament… if anything every minute you’ve spent here telling me how to do my job you could have spent getting an advantage for The Rumble. Still, what do I know, I’m just the General Manager.
He laughs to himself and gets back to his computer as Scorpio storms out of the office slamming the door behind him. The sounds of frustrated screams muffled by the door ring out and Price’s laugh grows even louder. We fade out.

Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 211 pounds ... AARON KOSTAN!
The soft guitar intro to “Rust” begins to play over the speakers as cool blue spotlights scatter throughout the arena before unifying at the top of the stage. There, Aaron Kostan steps into the halo of blue light, hair pulled back in a tight bun, a smile on his face, and his arms stretched out wide. After acknowledging the crowd he kneels, closing his eyes in prayer. With a final deep breath he stands and walks down the ramp, high fiving fans along the way before climbing the steps, wiping his boots on the apron, and entering the ring.
Reid: And the opponent, residing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and weighing in at 120 pounds ... SAIDIE SHARPE!
Pyros hit and "Greatest" by Sia begins to play. Saidie makes her way out to the ring and usually passes out some merch for a couple fans. She'll give them a thumbs up or a high five and then run the ropes waiting for her opponent.

Reid: And your winner, via pinfall ... SAIDIE SHARPE!!!
Evans: Smart wrestling there. She took everything Aaron Kostan could muster and eventually used that to her advantage
Kushnir: Tonight wasn't Kostan's night but you gotta believe his time will soon come.
Saidie briefly looks down at Kostan as the referee tends to him. Saidie rolls over the top rope to the outside of the ring and high fives and hugs the fans as she heads up the ramp
Evans: She seems pleased.
Kushnir: And we have something to please everyone, Scorpio.
The camera cuts to ...
Our scene cuts to backstage at d’Coque as Ace King and El Pablo are walking towards the locker room to watch the rest of the show. The crowd give a cheer for the pair as they are deep in inaudible conversation.
Kusnir: You wouldn’t know Ace King did the unthinkable less than a week ago and retained the Undisputed Championship inside the Insanity Cage would you? The Gambler looks ready for the next challenge already!
Evans: And that challenge comes in high heels, has a vicious attitude, and calls Prime his home…
Almost on cue a scream of “HEY, ASSHOLE” sounds out and Ace’s sighs with knowing expectation. He raises his eyebrows to El Pablo who shrugs, and together they turn around to see Scorpio storming towards them. His expression is one of fury as he sneers, spit frothing at the sides of his mouth, the click-clack of his heels on the concrete getting ever louder.
King: Nice to see you again, I hope you’re recovering well from Mond—
Scorpio: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
King: EP and I are here to scout for the Super 16 and Prime has some great up and coming teams—
Scorpio: Super 16? You expect me to believe that’s a thing do you?!
King: … I mean… it’s a thing… it’s the tag tour—
Scorpio: Yeah I wasn’t born yesterday Gambler, I know that’s some made-up bollocks on the script given to you by President Mac or whichever higher power is pulling your strings this time around. You’re here to try and destroy my chances at the Rumble, aren’t you?
King goes to answer but Scorpio gets right in his face ad cuts him off.
Scorpio: What was the plan? Kidnap Crème to get my matchday plans? Find yourself some allies on my brand to jump me after the show? Hmmm?! WELL ONCE AGAIN I’VE FUCKING FOILED YOU HAVEN’T I?! Some great Undisputed Champion you’re turning out to be…
Ace turns to EP and gives him a “what the hell?!” expression to which EP just shrugs once more. Scorpio is looking mighty smug with himself as he steps back from King.
Scorpio: I presume they paid Dio a handsome sum to jump off that cage and make sure you won just as I was about to actually earn a win. Still, congratulations, you’ve got a baseless and pointless victory to add to your records. When it’s you and me at the Rumble I won’t be laying down to extend your reign… far from it bitch… I’m going to tear you limb from limb and snatch another championship from your broken hands…
He begins to laugh to himself before he lays a hand on the Undisputed Championship on Ace’s shoulder. He runs a finger over the nameplate before he blows King a sarcastic kiss and struts off. For a few moments there’s complete silence before King and Pablo turn to one another.
EP: Well, that was all very normal wasn’t it?
King shakes his head before his gaze returns to the departing Scorpio.
Evans: Some tense scenes there and it seems Scorpio is as deeply invested in the conspiracy theories against him as ever.
Kushnir: I mean have we ruled out that Dio was paid to jump off the cage and cost Scorpio a win?
Evans: … yes I think we absolutely have there’s video from approximately 20 ringside cameras showing Ace winning the match outright as cleanly and fairly as possible.
Kushnir: … good point.

"Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys begins to play. The camera shot turns to widescreen format with the bars on top and bottom. Theatrics bring Eddie Dozier and Tyler Bradford out onto the stage in slow motion. Both men have sunglasses on with tear-away suits. The crowd boos them loudly as they look at each other and bump forearms in air. They tear the suits away, revealing their typical ring gear, and throw them into the faces of the people in the front row. The theatrics end and they begin to walk cockily down to the ring, hurling insults at fans along the way.
Reid: The following match is a tag team contest, set for one all and it is part of the Super 16 Tag Team Tournament. Joining us first, weighing in at a combined weight of 478 pounds... Eddie Dozier and Tyler Bradford ... SABOTAGE!
Both men hop up onto the ring apron in unison and then climb through the middle of the ropes in unison. Both men go opposite directions from each other, climb to the middle turnbuckle, and raise their arms out to their sides as the crowd boos them. They take their sunglasses off and throw them into the crowd before descending from the turnbuckle. They meet back in the middle of the ring and double-fist bump before heading to their corner.

Reid: And your winners, via pinfall ... SABOTAGE!!!
Evans: Literally The End of Jamie Love here on Prime. To quote Glen Campbell, 'I'm not gonna miss you'! See ya, bye!
Kushnir: There were moments in this match were I thought The Lions might take this but Dozier and Bradford destroyed, damaged and obstructed any chance The Lions had at advancing in the tournament.
Dozier helps Bradford to his feet and the hold their arms up in celebration as they head up the ramp. In the ring Jamie and Lorenzo look at each other for a moment and shrug their shoulders before hugging in the ring.
Evans: So long! Farewell! Goodbye!
Kushnir: We go from rude to Reid now as the International Champion prepares for his match
The camera cuts to ...
The camera cuts backstage to find Xavier Reid stretching in the hallway as a seated ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love looks on, shaking his head. He stands up from this folding chair and is just about to say something with a Prime staffer runs up to his with a glass of water
Prime Staffer: Here you go Mr. Love, a glass of water
Tommy looks at it
Love: I asked for a BOTTLE of water, not a glass of water...what brand of water is this?
The Prime Staffer looks at him
Prime Staffer: It’s tap…
Tommy takes the glass and shrugs
Love: Tap, must be some Luxembourg brand…
He takes a drink of it but spits it out seconds later at the staffer
Love: Tap...as in tap water?
Prime Staffer: Yeah, it’s just as good…
But the staffer is unable to finish the sentence as Tommy Love slams the glass down shattering it at his feet
Love: I am a Main Roster Manager you idiot, I don’t drink tap water!!!
The Prime Staffer makes a run for it as Xavier laughs
Reid: You drink tap water all the time Tommy, what the hell is wrong with you?
Tommy shakes his head
Love: I hate slumming it like this Xavier…
Reid: You broke into the EWC right here…
Love: Yeah but I move on, I moved up...I Jeffersoned my ass up to Brawl...think of it like this, when you land a 8 and spend years with her you don’t get all excited when you are forced to fuck a 3 Xavier...I fucked a 3 for years here in Prime...I don’t like fucking 3’s!!!
Xavier shakes his head
Reid: Sometimes I can’t believe you’ve been divorced three times...it’s shocking!!!
Love: I know right but what can I say...bitched be crazy sometimes…
Reid: Yeah they get ‘real crazy’ when they catch you in the back seat with some girl trying to break into the business…
Love: Hollywood has The Casting Couch...the wrestling world has The Backseat of Tommy Love’s Rental Car…
Reid: Well suck it up, this isn’t a vacation for us, we are here on Prime for business...we have their Indy Champion in tonight’s Main Event and I’m not about to let this opportunity slip through my fingers...I want to send a message to the entire EWC Roster, that I’m going to the Rumble to win the damn thing...that they are all entering the Rumble for the chance at 2nd place...tonight I’m going to go out to that ring and beat Dio in his ‘own house’, in front of ‘his fans’...in his Brand...I’m going to light up his chest worse than those flaming tables at Night of Champions…
Xavier pauses for a moment
Reid: I’m going to kick start my season right here tonight by beating the Indy Champion right here on Prime #086 and that Tommy is going to turn your frown upside down…
Xavier laughs as he finishes up and walks off camera

The spotlights inside the arena start to flash around the crowd as 'Papercut' starts to play out
Xavier Reid walks out onto the stage in his new black trunk, kickpads and boots, his hands wrapped in black tape and from behind him ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love walks out. He walks to the front of the stage and crosses his arms into an X in front of his chest and smirks as Tommy walks out from behind him and acts as if he’s going to hit the camera with the ‘Love Stick’. Tommy points to the ring and Xavier walks towards the ring shadow boxing as he makes his way down the aisle. Xavier storms up the steps and climbs into the ring, Tommy follows suit and walks towards the referee, already complaining about something. Xavier storms across the ring to the opposite corner and jumps to the middle rope and looks over the crowd and once again crosses his arms into an X as Tommy pulls out some money and tries to bribe the official who walks away as Tommy laughs. Xavier jumps down and squats down in the corner waiting for the bell.
Reid: And the opponent, residing in Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 205 pounds, he is the EWC Indy Champion ... DIO!
The lights dim down, and a voice comes over the PA system.
”I am your Crux.”
The phrase kicks off the sounds of “Change (in the house of flies)” by the Deftones as Dio emerges from the curtain and stands atop the stage. He surveys the crowd, tugging at the collar of his leather jacket before heading down toward the ring.
Evans: There are big fight feels and then there is this. This is incredible. The atmosphere gets anymore electric and we'll power Luxembourg

Evans: Is.... is he playing guitar with Xavier's arm?
Kushnir: If he does requests, I want to know if he'll play 'One day like this'. This is very similar to his finisher. He's letting Xavier know in his own way that he can apply it at any time.
Almost proving that point Dio releases the hold but Legdrops Reid's arm. Dio quickly wraps an arm around Reid's throat applying a Bully Choke. Dio wrenches on it pulling with everything he can.

Evans: An amazing match tonight. Amazing. Both men could have won or lost this one.
Kushnir: Xavier Reid hit that Xplode and I thought it was over. It was but it was Dio who got his hand raised. He had enough left in him for a roll up and the victory.
Evans: If you enjoyed that match be sure to catch the Rumble on pay per view where Ace King will defend the Undisputed Championship against Scorpio. Following that, we'll catch you here at the start of October when we head to Germany next time on Prime!
