Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, from Austin, Texas and weighing in at 260 pounds ... ALEX BLADE!
As Time has come begins to play the crowd cheers loudly as Alex steps out from behind the curtain with his sister Kelly, They both make there way towards the ring as Emily smiles and waves to the crowd while Alex is focused in getting into the ring. Once inside the ring, She talks him up to get him ready for the match.
Reid: And the opponent, 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.

Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, from Brooklyn, New York and 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 out at the crowd with a grin ready for her opponent.
Reid: And the opponent, coming to the ring accompanied by his manager, Astonishing Kevin Fisher, from Toronto Ontario Canada, weighing in at 229 pounds ... REMARKABLE MARK KEATON!
Mark Keaton walks out on to the stage, he's wearing a thick, black leather jacket with studs and sunglasses. Mark is smoking a cigarette and sneering. He stops his swagger at the top of the ramp to play some excellent air guitar for a moment. Astonishing Kevin Fisher walks out behind him, he gives Mark a tap on the back of the shoulder. Mark does one final riff then makes a throwing motion, tossing his air guitar into the crowds. He removes his cigarette and flicks it at the camera, he starts walking to the ring while banging his head to his entrance music. He removes his sunglasses and jacket then runs, he slides in the ring then runs to the top turnbuckle. He's yelling at the crowds now and flexing his biceps. He jumps down then runs to another turnbuckle, this time he flexes his chest and points to his abs.
DING DING DING

Hall is on her hands and knees for a moment as the emotion takes over. After a few moments she gets to her feet and climbs the turnbuckles to celebrate with the cheering crowd
Evans: I'm getting word our Indy Champion is backstage
Kushnir: Great! I love to watch Dio.
The camera cuts to ...
We open up backstage, where the Indy champion is seated in a dimly lit room, on a dias covered in black velvet. Dressed sharply in a suit, the Indy title lays in front of him at his feet, straps outstretched in its full glory.
Dio: I have to commend you Narumi. That briefcase in hand could have solidified your reign as Indy champion, had you lacked an ounce of that honor you hold so dear. I promise you, the likes of Scorpio or Eddie Dozier would not have been so kind. The moment my body hit those burning tables at Night of Champions, they would have leapt over the barricade ringside to cash in their case to take away this championship right here.
He motions to the belt before him, gold glittering under the scarce light in the room.
Dio: You could have done it on Prime #86 after I beat Xavier Reid. Both of us were spent, and you could have slipped into the ring and cashed in your case… but honor, and the determination to provide the Prime fans and your peers alike the opportunity to witness us go head to head in a genuine match kept your feet planted into the concrete backstage. How’s that honor holding up for you now, Narumi?
Dio: How’s that honor holding up, knowing you’re throwing away the entire point of that briefcase? The briefcase is almost a surefire, guaranteed title reign, to be cashed in at any point when your opposition is at their weakest. So when you saw me those nights, was I not weak enough? Or were you hoping that by coming out at the Rumble and proffering up this golden match spectacle for Youngblood 3, that you’d convince me to enter into this match with the same honorable mindset as you?
Dio’s face is stoic before he reaches down and lifts the championship belt into his lap. His face reflects in the gold plate and his eyes take on an almost faraway glaze. That thousand yard stare slowly setting in before he finally looks up from the championship and continues.
Dio: What I’ve done to win this championship, to keep this championship… to represent this championship… was not honorable. It was never about honor to win and defend this championship. Do you understand what it’s going to take to win this championship from me? You can’t cling to your sense of honor. Honor doesn’t win championships. Honor might win the broadcast championship, but the broadcast championship isn’t the same thing. I can speak from experience… holding the broadcast championship is a different beast. Challenging me for the Indy championship is going to test your honor like nothing before. I hope for your sake… you don’t take the loss too personally. It isn’t dishonorable to lose to a man like me, but when you do? Perhaps you and your fellow senshi of the blade can look past your antiquated honor ideals and find success when you begin to follow me in the Age of Enlightenment.
Dio stands from the dias, pulling the championship up over his shoulder and walking out of frame. The camera pauses for a moment before panning from the exiting Dio to the dias, which gives the illusion that the velvet is smoldering and smoking as though it’s about to burst into flames.

Reid: The following match is a tag team contest set for one fall. Joining us first, at a total combined weight of 255 pounds Narumi Tsutsumi and 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.
Reid: And the opponents, at a combined weight of 247 pounds: Carrie Samson, Nina Samson ... THE TEXAS ANGELS!
"Doing It Wrong" by Brent Rivera blasts across the speakers as pink and yellow lights bounce around the arena. Nina and Carrie Samson burst through the curtains as the crowd goes nuts. They stand on the stage, fist bump with each other before sprinting down the ramp and hyping the crowd by standing on the turnbuckles.
DING DING DING
Nina and Narumi start. Nina chops Narumi hard across the chest. Narumi returns one of her own. Another from Nina. Another from Naruimi. Nina attempts a Clothesline but Narumi ducks it and rolls up Nina for a School Girl that doesn't even give the referee time to move before Nina rolls out of it. Nina runs off the ropes attempting a low Dropkick but Narumi moves and Nina hits canvas. Narumi throws Nina into the corner and runs at her but Nina grabs her and hits an Exploder Suplex into the corner. Nina drops an Elbow on Narumi before tagging Carrie. They both grab Narumi and drive her into the mat with a Double Downward Spiral. Carrie throws Narumi off the ropes but bends to far telegraphing a Back Drop. Instead, Narumi rolls over Carrie's back and drops her to the mat with a standing Heel Kick. Carrie staggers back to her feet. Narumi whips her off the ropes and drops her with a back Elbow before Tagging Megumi.
They unload on Carrie with Roundhouse Kicks before Megumi bounces off the middle rope hitting a Disaster Kick that sends Carrie into Megumi who drops Carrie to the mat with a Flapjack. Megumi whips Carrie into the corner and runs at her for a one woman Poetry in Motion but Carrie is able to catch Megumi and brings Megumi down across her knee with a Backbreaker. Carrie follows with a Sidewalk Slam before tagging Nina who drops from the top turnbuckle onto Megumi with a Splash to her back. Nina makes a cover

Kushnir: Texas Angels came close here. They have nothing to feel bad about. But this night belongs to Narumi and Megumi.
They both bow and wave to the crowd before embracing in a victory hug
Evans: It's a great moment but we have an even greater moment. I'm told we have a special guest coming up after this break
Kushnir: I wonder who it is?
The camera cuts to ...
VIVA LA RAINBOWLUTION!!!
Evans: What!?
Kushnir: What!?
As we return from commercial, the roof of the Kenston Arena threatens to be blasted into the stratosphere by the raucous crowd response as “Party Hard” by Andrew WK hits the sound system, triggering a dizzying display of multicoloured lights that dance across every visible surface of the building. After a few moments, El Pablo steps out onto the stage, sporting a huge grin on his masked face and his newly won X-Division Championship around his waist.
Kushnir: It’s El Pablo!! The X-Division Champion is back on Prime!
Evans: We haven’t seen the Technicolour Tecnico beneath the blue banner in a year and a half - since March 2020!
Kushnir: Oh boy, remember those times?
Evans: Good times.
After taking a few moments to milk the fans’ ovation, EP finally charges down the ramp and slides into the ring. As he hops to his feet, he whips the X-Division belt from around his waist, then climbs up one of the turnbuckles and thrusts it into the air to spike the volume levels once more. EP then offers a salute in the direction of the announce table, before hopping back down to the canvas and grabbing a microphone from Damon Reid at ringside.
El Pablo: Guten abend, Duisburg!
The crowd pops again at the name-check, as EP drapes the X-Division belt over his right shoulder.
El Pablo: And hello, Prime! It’s been...it’s been a minute, huh? Things are looking a little different; a little...Pricier...but it’s good to see this place still thriving, you know? Still flourishing. Damon, good to see you! Jenna, of course - wherever you are - and Marshley! Always a pleasure!
Kushnir: A pleasure indeed!
El Pablo: Now, I’m sure some of you are wondering why I’m here...Well, as some of you may remember, nearly four years ago I defeated Stitches in Melbourne to become the EWC Indy Champion…
Evans: WrestleFest XV - what a match that was!
El Pablo: ...but, what you may not remember is that the first Prime show after that took place just a few hours up the road in Kiel, Germany. So, when I defeated Stitches in Melbourne at the Rumble Down Under on Monday night to become the EWC X-Division Champion...and when I realised that the first Prime show after that took place right here in Duisburg, Germany...well, how could I not show up!?
Kushnir: Wow, that’s crazy!
El Pablo: It’s just like I said in the build-up to the Rumble: if you wait long enough, life always comes full-circle...which leads me onto the other reason I decided to come here tonight. See, as the X-Division Champion, the responsibility now falls on me to keep the wheel turning...to take up the mantle from the likes of Ace King, Xavier Reid, Nostalgia, Eddie Crank...even - and especially - Harlow Kinsley...and etch my own name into the annals of EWC X-Division history!
Now, don’t get me wrong; I understand how steep the learning curve is when it comes to this belt - I mean, she hasn’t been successfully defended in, what, sixteen months? And has changed hands five times now since then...so, yeah, I’m well aware of the challenge that’s facing me now...but that’s the game, right? That’s why we do what we do - try to break the cycle...upset the apple cart...stage, dare I say...a Rainbowlution.
The crowd pops as EP smirks, flashing a wink down the camera lens.
El Pablo: So...I know we’ve got ourselves a little X-Division action coming up later tonight, and I thought I’d wrap this little reunion up by saying to Eddie and the Headhuntress...and indeed to anybody on any brand who’s currently disgusted at the idea of this belt being over the shoulder of a Skittle-chugging idiot...I’ll be watching. Waiting. And, when the moment comes...I’ll be ready.
BUT...a word of caution: I’ve had to wait longer than three years to feel championship gold in my hands again...over one thousand days...so if any of you think I’m just gonna roll over and hand this thing over to you on a barbed wire-wrapped silver platter...well, you’d better strap a napkin to that puffed-out chest of yours...because I’ll be sure to serve you up a most extreme Taste of the Rainbow.
Viva la Rainbowlution.
Viva the X-Division Champion.
With that, “Party Hard” bursts back onto the soundsystem as EP raises the belt high above his head once again, a look of extreme defiance directed down the camera lens. After lingering for a moment, the Technicolour Tecnico snaps back into life, smiling and saluting the crowd as he drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring.
Evans: Fighting words from our new X-Division Champion on his return to Prime here tonight!
Kushnir: Absolutely - and a message sent to the rest of the division! We’ll see which of ‘Headhuntress’ Aiya and Eddie Dozier can stake their claim to a potential championship opportunity down the road later on tonight!
The camera focuses on EP as he backs up the ramp, raising his belt aloft once more, before cutting away.
X-DIVISION RULES MATCH
'Headhuntress' Aiya
Vs Eddie Dozier
Match Writer: prime
'Headhuntress' Aiya
Vs Eddie Dozier
Match Writer: prime
We return to ringside where we see Marshall Evans.
Evans: While the X-Division Champion seems confident and ready to fight. who will be victorious in this X-Division war?
Reid: The following match is an X-Division Match set for one fall. Joining us first, 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.
Images of rain falling on cement are seen on the big screen as "Raining Blood" by Slayer begins to play. When the guitar riffs begin, the lights in the arena turn yellow. Eddie Dozier steps out from the back to a loud chorus of boos. Dozier has a look of disgust on his face as he bends down and starts rocking back and forth.
As Dozier stretches out his arms and wipes down his vest, he calmly walks down to the ring, ignoring all of the haters.
Reid: Ladies and gentlemen. It is the EWC's privilege to bring back to you the EWC's Nightmare! Weighing in at two hundred and fifty-five pounds. Louisville, Kentucky's finest. EDDIE DOZIER!
Dozier smirks at the rowdy boos when his name is announced. He climbs up onto the apron and enters the ring through the ropes. He walks around the ring and yells out into the crowd as they boo louder. With a smirk, he steps into the corner to wait for the opening bell.
DING DING DING
Dozier catches Aiya with a Knee to the gut and follows with Forearms to the back and shoulders. He whips Aiya off the ropes and raises a boot but she slides on her knees underneath Dozier. She slaps Dozier hard in the face before unloading with Forearms to the jaw. They back him onto the corner where Aiya climbs to the middle turnbuckle hitting 10 Punches. Dozier grabs Aiya and Stun Guns her on the top rope. As Aiya clutches her throat and coughs, Dozier rolls out of the ring and pulls a bag from underneath the ring. He slides the bag in the ring and rolls in himself. Dozier reaches into the bag and pulls out the FX Broadcast Championship. He looks at it for a second before tossing it aside. Reaching back in the bag, Dozier pulls out a light tube. Dozier goes to hit Aiya with it but she ducks and knees Dozier in the kidney causing him to drop the light tube. Aiya reaches into the bag and pulls out a kendo stick which she cracks over Dozier's head before making a cover

Kushnir: You might. I'm worried how far is too far.
Both get their feet and Dozier grabs Aiya before whipping her chest first in to the corner. She lays on the mat clutching her chest as Dozier rolls out of the ring. He pulls two tables from under it and slides them into the ring. He sets one up in the corner and one in the middle of the ring. Dozier grabs Aiya and whips her toward the table. Aiya manages to stop before going through it and turns to see Dozier running toward her. She ducks a Clothesline and hits Dozier with a Shoot On Sight. Dozier slumps against the table as Aiya takes a few steps back before running at Dozier and Spearing him through it.

Reid: And your winner, via pinfall ... 'HEADHUNTRESS' AIYA!!!Evans: She tried to permanently scar Eddie Dozier with that championship!
Kushnir: Both beat the tar out of each other in this contest. Eddie Dozier could easily be the one with the win here. However, my hat, if I was wearing one, goes off to Aiya for not falling apart when he kicked out of that first OTK.
Aiya very gingerly gets to her feet and visibly winces in pain as the referee holds her and up in victory. The ref spot this and helps Aiya up the ramp as she picks little bits of table from her hair.
Evans: What a match this was!
Kushnir: We have a great match after this as Lorenzo battles Aaron Kostan but right now I'm told there's someone backstage.
The camera cuts backstage where a surprise guest is hanging out. Sipping her cup of coffee and humming a tune, there is no mistaking her for anybody else. Jenna Salvatore rushes to quickly get a word from her.
Jenna: Iggy Swango! Can we get a quick word from you?
Lady Stardust looks up and smiles.
Jenna: First of all congrats on your top ten hit in Germany!
Iggy: Thanks! Who knew all it would take to get a number one hit here in Germany would be to remix one of my tracks with a techno beat and have David Hasselhoff appear on guest vocals!
Jenna nods her head at Iggy's response.
Jenna: So when will be the next time EWC fans see you in action? Its been a few weeks hasn't it?
Iggy's smile quickly fades away.
Iggy: That's up to the hire ups at rampage to decide. They aren't booking me right now and continue to disrespect me. And when I am booked, its in a Gambit match that gets cancelled. With AC Delaney in charge now, I don't think my fortunes are going to change any time soon.
Jenna nods her head.
Jenna: So what brings you to Prime anyway? Here to meet some more of your adoring fans?
Iggy: That's always a plus, but I am actually here to hang out with Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....
Iggy holds on the "i" before going silent.
Iggy: I'm here to see a good friend of mine.
Jenna: Its Dio isn't it?
Iggy looks flustered.
Iggy: Now what makes you say that?
Jenna and Iggy stare at each other. Iggy tries to break the awkward moment by handing Jenna a singed copy of her album Soul Love. Suddenly, Victor Price comes around the corner. He walks towards Iggy.
Victor Price: Well, Ill be damned. Its Lady Stardust herself. Say Iggy, come walk with me. There is something I want to discuss with you...

Aaron Kostan

Match Writer: prime
We return to ringside where we see commentary.
Evans: Up next we have Aaron Kostan versus Lorenzo. Aaron Kostan will be on cloud nine right now due to his wife's pregnancy but will he be celebrating after this or will Lorenzo be the one celebrating?
Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, from Chaarlotte, North Carolina and 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, from South LA and weighing in at 185 pounds ... LORENZO!
Livin La Vida Loca hits the PA system and Lorenzo walks out onto the stage rotating his hips a bit. On his left Jamie is rolling his eyes while on his right Maria Love is absentmindedly swiveling her own hips in time to the music. They all walk to the ring with Lorenzo rolling under the ropes and leaning against the ring ropes talking to Jamie as he waits for the bell

Evans: This match should be over at least three times! Why hasn't the bell rung?
Kushnir: Lorenzo may have been a Young Lion but both seem to have the heart of a lion to keep fighting here tonight.
Lorenzo lifts Kostan to his feet but Kostan rams a shoulder into Lorenzo's gut. Kostan throws Lorenzo off the ropes and bounces off an opposite side hitting Lorenzo with a One Handed Bulldog. Kostan lifts Lorenzo onto his shoulders looking for a Finale but Lorenzo manages to hook an arm under Kostan's and rolls him up in a Crucifix. Kostan rolls out of it before the referee can even count one. He tries for a Penalty Kick to Lorenzo's face but he ducks and pushes Kostan off the ropes for an O'Connnor Roll. Kostan holds the ropes sending Lorenzo rolling backward. Kostan turns and is caught by a DDT from Lorenzo. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and leaps for a Spanish Star.

Kushnir: Both had their moments to win this but on this night, Lorenzo was the one to take advantage of an opportunity.
Lorenzo kneels in the ring looking up at the heavens and raising his arms toward them while Jamie almost begs him to get up of the canvas.
Evans: I still don't like him but that is a big win for Lorenzo
Kushnir: That it is but who will win big in our next match as it's our Showtime Broadcast Championship Match up next!

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.
'Rule Britannia' hits the speakers as red, white, and blue lighting flashes around the arena. The crowd begin to boo loudly as the imagine of a waving Union Jack is displayed on the X-Tron. Superimposed on this is the message "Please be upstanding for your Prime Minister". After a little while the orchestral music fades down...
Reid: And the opponent, from London, England, weighing in at 205 lbs... The Showtime Broadcast Champion, he is 'The People's Camp', 'The Baddest Bitch On The Planet', 'The Prime Minister'... 'THE S-FACTOR' SCORPIO!
'Iconic' - Madonna feat. Chance The Rapper hits the speakers as the house lights go down, switching to a spotlight focused on the curtain. It parts, revealing 'The S-Factor' Scorpio stood behind, a hand on his hip cutting a beautiful silhouette. He sashays forward, a long coat dripping in jewels swaying with every step. Behind him steps Crème de la Crème, Scorpio's drag queen confidant and manager. The two look to one another and nod, before Scorpio opens his coat and drops it to the floor, revealing another stunning outfit. He steps down the ramp with a confident strut, emulating that of the catwalk models of Paris and Milan, before reaching the ring. Scorpio climbs up one set of steps as Crème climbs the other, parting the ropes to allow 'The S-Factor'' in. Stepping into the middle of the ring Scorpio raises one arm, and blows a kiss with the other, a smile forming on his beautifully made-up face.
