Backstage Interviewer: Jenna Salvatore
While 'Howlin' For You' by The Black Keys 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.
We also get some extra footage of the current Champions on PRIME as we see Bosa with the Showtime Broadcast Championship and then Narumi Tsutsumi holding the Indy Championship over her head.
After one final pan over the crowd, we get some shots of a few of the signs being held up by the fans ..
I HEART HEART VIVI
DOZIERMAINIA WILL RUN WILD IN THE G1
PRIME IS SWISS BLISS
SCORPIO WAS ROBBED!!!
DALILAH WILL BOSS BOSA
NARUMI'S REIGN IS HALL OVER AT THE HANDS OF AMBER
Evans: Welcome to the Hershey of Europe that is Switzerland! Welcome to Prime!!!!
Kushnir: Here in the land of chocolate the cocoa is melting in the heat of tonight's card.
Evans: The G1 kicks off tonight! Remember, it's two groups of six competitors. Two points for a win and a big bagel, duck egg nothing for the loss and a single tiny point for a draw. The Indy Championship and The Showtime Broadcast Championship are both on the line in every match the champions are in in this G1. The winners of both groups head to the final at World Wide. Tonight we are in for a feast of action including the returning Vivi when she takes on The Defender. Eddie Dozier will look to take his pound of flesh when he faces Mitsuo Shimada and then Kyle Gautier will look to have The Galactic Vixxen, Kazia Siona seeing stars.
Kushnir: If that's not enough. Scorpio will be looking for a precision win when he goes up against Tyler Quest, Amber Lisa Hall will loo to climb to Prime's highest peak when she battles Narumi Tsutsumi for the Indy Title and, in our main event. Dalilah Ashe will go cuckoo if she can beat Bosa for the Showtime Broadcast Championship in his first defense of the Championship.
Evans: All of those matches are part of the G1 and I am so pumped! I love the G1!
Kushnir: As much as you love me?
Evans: It is close but you just sneak it.
Kushnir: Good. Remember, if you ever miss any of our great EWC action, or Paramount, remember you can see it all on EWCTV!

SINGLES GROUP B MATCH
Vivi
Vs The Defender
Match Writer: @themiracle
Vivi
Vs The Defender
Match Writer: @themiracle
We return to ringside where Marshall Evans prepares to throw it to ringside for our first match of the night!.
Evans: Ladies and gentlemen, what a start to tonight’s show and what a show it is… it’s the beginning of the G1 TOURNAMENT! And tonight we kick off the competition. The first match? We are gonna see The Defender return to in-ring action after a short disappearance, MIA through the entire StrangleMania weekend. We hear he was laying low, embarrassed over his loss against Tyler Quest at PRIME #93. I say what a better way to redeem yourself than a big win to bounce back into that positive flow of energy everyone is always looking to get into. Tonight is a perfect opportunity to do just that AND get his standing in the illustrious G1 Tournament off on the right foot as he takes on the returning Vivi who hasn't been around these parts in a while. Let’s take it to ringside where that matchup is about to begin!
Reid: The following match is a singles match in first round G1 action! Joining us first, from Parts Unknown and weighing in at 128 pounds ... VIVI!
Pyros hit and "Little Boxes" by Kinky begins to play. Vivi appears and gives a big smile to the crowd, waving and enjoying herself like always. She skips down to the ring and rolls under the bottom rope, ready to compete.
Reid: And her opponent, from Gatlinburg, Tennessee and weighing in at 270 pounds ... THE DEFENDER!
The lights in the arena dim and the smoke machines go into overdrive as Kid Rock's "Warrior" hits the arena's PA system! Out through the curtain first comes controversial right winger Ben Thomas, apparently back to try supporting his son again, met with a chorus of boos from everyone in attendance. Just when you think it can't get any louder the few left in the building NOT booing join in when out comes THE DEFENDER! Cloaked in an elegant sleeveless leather American flag duster and hosting an American flag up on his shoulder the young powerhouse and his father make their way down to the ring and step inside, The Defender ready to go to war.
DING DING DING
The match starts off slowly, The Defender posturing around and taunting the fans in attendance here in Switzerland. The two then come in for a test of strength, Defender obviously getting the best of Vivi. In complete heel mode for the night, The Defender smacks the free spirited Vivi in the mouth as fans boo and flip him off. He flips them right back off and then shoves Vivi into the corner of the ring hard, her neck snapping back as she collides into the post. He then lays in with some of the stiffest backhand chops in the business, each one creating a sickening smack that echoes throughout the Vaudoise Arena!
Evans: Echoing around this arena! A some fans behind me look like they felt it.
Kushnir: Understandable. I think I felt it.
The Defenders laughs and then spits in Vivi’s face! He grabs her by the hair from the back of her head and then shoves her down on the mat landing with a dull thud. The fans scream for Vivi to get back up, The Defender patiently waiting as he licks his chops in the corner, simply waiting on his prey so he can strike. Vivi slowly starts to move, reaching for a rope to pull herself up… Defender goes in… PEOPLE KILL- WAIT! Vivi ducks and sends The Defender going head first over the top rope down to the concrete! The crowd loves it!! Vivi goes wild eyed and… is she gonna do it?! WOWZA! FROM THE TOP ROPE DOWN ONTO THE DEFENDER AT RINGSIDE!
Evans: A big risk but a big impact!
Kushnir: That mask may be holding his jaw to his face after that kick.
She turns around to the crowd, her hands raised high in celebration after that big move, but it turns out to be a very BAD decision! The Defender, now just pissed off, grabs her ankles and forcefully yanks Vivi down to the concrete, her jaw smacking it on contact and sending blood pouring out into the fans. The Defender starts spouting off obscenities and telling EWC staff and media to get the Hell out of the way as he picks up Vivi with a handful of hair and sends her careening into the steel post, smacking that jaw again! Vivi falls down like dead weight. Defender shakes his index finger back and forth, as to say “No, no… this ain’t over yet!” He jerks Vivi back up, hoists her onto his shoulders, and tosses her from the floor over the top rope and down into the center of the ring from outside! What a show of pure strength!! He rolls into the ring, once again pulls Vivi to her feet, and starts cussing her out! He spits in her face again and then slaps her straight across the mouth! He hits the ropes… PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE! He just damn near took her head off with that heavy Lariat! He stands tall over Vivi and places his boot down on her chest, hand raised high as the ref counts…
One …
TWO! …..
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall ... THE DEFENDER!!!Evans: A dominant win for The Defender here tonight on Prime!
Kushnir: Vivi gave it her all here but those two points for The Defender will make a lot of people sit up and take notice.
Ben Thomas raises his young boy’s hand proudly, both all smiles as Kid Rock’s “Warrior” blares throughout the arena once more. They ignore hostile fans all the way up the ramp and through the curtain, taking in the magnificent smell of hard earned victory. No… pure dominance, even.
Evans: A huge win here for The Defender and he knows it.
Kushnir: But who will get the big win in our next G1 match when Eddie Dozier battles the debuting Mitsuo Shimada next! We'll be back in 30 seconds ..
The camera cuts to a commercial break
We return from commercial to ringside where the crowd are cheering loudly for the G1 tournament when “Rule Britannia” hits the speakers and the crowd descends into boos. Crème de la Crème and Dalilah Ashe emerge from the back, the former in a Union Jack dress and the latter looking menacing and focused. They walk down the ramp ignoring the jeers from the crowd towards a podium that is set up in the ring.
Evans: Scorpio’s team are coming to join us here at ringside, and it looks like we may be hearing from the former Showtime Broadcast Champion…
Kushnir: The loss of the Showtime Broadcast Championship followed by failing to capture the Indy Championship has surely knocked his goal of dominance on Prime to one side?
Crème stands behind the podium as Ashe stands to the side, the pair looking exasperated with the boos.
Crème: SHUT UP!
The crowd get even louder as Ashe sneers and she and Crème share some words of annoyance off-mic. Eventually Crème sighs loudly and leans towards the microphone on the podium.
Crème: You WILL show some fucking respect for the greatest wrestler in the EWC. Ladies, gentleman, and everyone in between, please be upstanding for your Prime Minister – SCORPIO!
“Iconic” blasts over the speakers as Scorpio steps out from the back in a black Chanel pantsuit and his iconic Louboutin heeled wrestling boots. He lowers some sunglasses and surveys the crowd as a chant of ‘WHERE’S YOUR TITLE?!’ goes up. The Prime Minister’s lips curl into a scowl before he struts down the ramp, his focus entirely on the ring as Crème and Ashe applaud him emphatically. They open the ropes for him and he climbs in, taking his place behind the podium as the music fades.
Scorpio: Let me make this perfectly clear – I DO NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK WHAT YOUR OPINIONS OF ME OR THE CRIMES COMITTED AGAINST ME IN RECENT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES ARE! Fact: the Showtime Broadcast Championship was robbed from me by the interference of that Headhuntress bitch because the establishment of the EWC are terrified of what I would do with a year-long reign. Fact: the same establishment used underhanded and cheap tricks to gift Narumi a defense, and as soon as I find proof of those tricks I will be taking them down…
Needless to say The S-Factor looks a little deranged as he tries to explain away his loss at StrangleMania. He clenches his fist and his teeth, his frustration showing as the crowd cheer Narumi’s victory.
Scorpio: But I will not be kept down. In international politics the G7 is a coalition of the most important seven countries on the planet who dominate this world; in the G1 one Prime wrestler will rise to dominate this brand. That one wrestler is me. I can see you all casting doubt on me, deciding I’m out, presuming I’m done… WELL I DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK I AM THE PRIME MINISTER, I AM A TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPION, I AM THE GREATEST WRESTLER ON PRIME AND IN THE EWC AS A WHOLE AND I WILL BE WINNING THE G1 COME WORLDWIDE!!!
He slams a fist down on the podium as “Rule Britannia” hits the speakers once more. Crème and Ashe raise his hands in victory before the Prime Government exit the ring and head up the ramp. Scorpio screams a few insults back at the jeering fans as they disappear behind the curtain…
Evans: A strong message from the Prime Minister there, but you’ve got to wonder what’s going through Dalilah Ashe’s head as another G1 competitor stood by his side?
Kushnir: She’s pretty enamored with Scorpio though; we’ll be watching this tournament with interest…
The camera cuts from the departing Scorpio to the commentary team at ringside.
Evans: Time for the first Group A match of the 2022 G1 and it's the first chance we get to see Mitsuo Shimada here on Prime as he is making his debut here in the G1. He's being accompanied by Gregory Murphy tonight, who of course announced at StrangleMania that Shimada has aligned himself with Mark Storm. I'm looking forward to see what Mitsuo Shimada is all about, but he's got some obstacle in front of him in Eddie Dozier.
Kushnir: It would be quite the debut win to get, as we all know Eddie Dozier is a dangerous man and Shimada will have to be careful.
Reid: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is the first match of the 2022 G1 tournament! Introducing first...
As the opening of Stardust by Kazsin plays through the speakers, the arena falls to silence as the lights also dim down. Strobe lights of red and gold suddenly shine towards the stage and emerging from the back is "The Man, The Myth, And The Legend" Mitsuo Shimada, who's wearing his signature mask as he swaggers his way forward. Lingering behind him is his manager, Gregory Murphy, who has a slimy grin on his face as he slowly follows Shimada.
Reid: Making his way to the ring, weighing in a two hundred and thirty pounds.. The Man, The Myth and The Legend, MITSUO SHIMADA!
Shimada swaggers his way towards the ring, nodding his head as the fans reach out for him and he acknowledges a few of them, even fist bumping one of the lucky ones wearing one of his merch. He then jumps onto the apron and latches onto the ropes, inhaling, exhaling, before entering 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 his opponent.
Evans: Sabotage were unfortunate at StrangleMania, coming up short in what was a classic of a tag team match. Eddie Dozier will be looking to bounce back by putting some early points on the board here tonight.
Kushnir: I believe Eddie Dozier has what it takes to make it to the finals of the G1. He has the aggressiveness, the build, that tenacity that you need to survive in tournaments like these.
DING DING DING
The bell rings and both competitors remain in their respective corners, locking eyes with one another as the fans applaud and cheer in excitement. Shimada is the first of the two to make a movement, slowly beginning to circle around the ring and Dozier follows suit, as the two come closer and closer. They finally lock horns in a standard collar to elbow tie up, with Dozier managing to use his size and strength to his advantage, powering the debutant into the corner of the ring. Dozier delivers a few stiff strikes to the mid section of Shimada as the referee tries to intervene with Shimada's hands on the ropes. Dozier eases up and backs away from the corner, no without delivering one final strike to the face of Shimada, who has a smile on his face as he holds onto his cheek. Dozier runs towards Shimada but he's quick to react, ducking an impending lariat attempt from Dozier as he takes off towards the ropes, bouncing off of them and landing a flying forearm smash to Dozier.
Mounting on top of him, Shimada begins laying into Dozier relentlessly, connecting with a flurry of forearm strikes as Dozier squirms towards the ropes, managing to roll to the outside. Shimada gets to his feet and looks towards the crowd, teasing an aerial move as Dozier composes himself on the outside. Shimada runs towards the ropes, bouncing off of them before forward rolling into a lying position in the centre of the ring, posing for the fans as he points towards the skies.
Evans: Shimada showing some showmanship here and the fans appreciate it.
Kushnir: I don't think Dozier appreciates it very much.
As Shimada get's to his feet, Dozier rolls into the ring and begins laying the boots on him. Shimada struggles to fight back, falling to one knee as Dozier begins delivering several strikes to the forehead of Shimada. Shimada staggers back into the turnbuckle, limp and fatigued. Dozier takes a few steps back before charging towards Shimada, connecting with a big splash in the corner. Dozier has a hold of Shimada and brings him out of the corner, Irish whips him into the ropes, and on return Shimada is met by a big boot from Dozier! Shimada falls to the canvas but much like Dozier, he's quick to get himself out of the ring, rolling to the outside.
Dozier exits the ring and is straight on the offensive, yanking Shimada to his feet by his hair before swinging him into the railings. Shimada hits the railings hard, wincing in pain as he arches his back. Dozier delivers another giant big boot to Shimada, sending him over the railing and into the fans. He laughs as the fans boo him in unison. Dozier holds both of his arms up in the air and taunts the fans, smirking before turning his attention back to Shimada. Grabbing him by his head, Dozier manages to lift him over the railing. Shimada tries to fight back, connecting with a few forearm strikes but Dozier puts him back into his place, clubbing his back several times with stiff forearm strikes, forcing Shimada to a knee. Shimada staggers into the path of Dozier, who lifts him up into a powerbomb position. Shimada manages to deliver a few strikes to the head of Dozier, trying to get himself out of the position. Dozier however manages to stay composed, turning him around and elevating him a little higher - performing a powerbomb onto the apron!
Evans: A wicked powerbomb onto the apron by Dozier on Shimada! You've gotta wonder whether that showmanship may have cost Shimada the match here, Dozier has been punishing him.
Kushnir: Eddie Dozier was not at all impressed and he's trying to bounce back after StrangleMania with a win here tonight.
Dozier rolls himself into the ring and covers Shimada...
ONE..
TWO...
TH - Shimada kicks out!
Dozier questions the referee's decision, visibly angry with his call. He gets to his feet, bringing Shimada up with him. He positions Shimada in a fireman's carry position, preparing to deliver his finishing move 'The End' (F5). Shimada manages to roll down his back and pushes Dozier forwards. Dozier turns around and has no response as Shimada quickly delivers a step up enziguri, rocking him a little. Shimada gets back up and follows this with a number of forearm strikes to Dozier, wearing him down strike by strike. Shimada turns Dozier around, looking for a German Suplex as he locks onto his waist of Dozier. Dozier manages to ease his grip, sending his elbows backwards into the head of Shimada, who loosens his grip after the fifth strike. Dozier then runs to the ropes, bouncing off of them and attempting a spear, but Shimada evades, leapfrogging over him. He's quick to turn and lock Dozier in another waist lock, looking for a German once again.
But Dozier is adamant that Shimada isn't lifting him up and over today, using his size and power again to remain grounded. Shimada gives up, letting go of Dozier and turning him around, connecting with an open palm strike to the face! Shimada then grabs Dozier and springboards off of the ropes, delivering a DDT to finally ground Dozier. Dozier rolls to the outside of the ring before Shimada can make the cover, but 'The Starblazer' has other plans as he gets to his feet and looks at the fans again, teasing once more. He runs towards the ropes, bouncing off of them and running towards the opposite set, floating through them as he performs a Tope Suicida on Dozier!
Evans: A big move from Shimada there and it may have just created an opening!
Kushnir: He hasn't been able to put down the much larger Eddie Dozier for most of this match.
The fans cheer and applaud as Shimada gets to his feet, running his fingers through his hair as he smirks, arrogantly. Shimada then grabs Dozier and rolls him back into the ring before jumping onto the apron and climbing onto the top rope. Dozier is slowly getting back to his feet as Shimada prepares himself on the rope, waiting for his moments as the fans clap in unison. Dozier groggily gets to his feet, with his back against Shimada, as Shimada launches himself off of the ropes... but Eddie Dozier catches him on his shoulders!
Evans: Oh not, Dozier has him in the position for The End!
Kushnir: Shimada did not see that one coming, and neither did I!
Shimada struggles, trying to fight his way out but it's too late, as Dozier delivers The End.
Dozier covers Shimada...
ONE..
TWO...
THREE!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner via pinfall... EDDIE DOZIER!!
Evans: What a win for Eddie Dozier, and he secures himself two points on the board in the 2022 G1!
Kushnir: It was quite the contest between these two and it could've gone either way, but Dozier just managed to edge it.
Dozier immediately rolls to the outside, smirking as he makes his way up the entrance ramp.
Evans: He looks pleased with his opening two points.
Kushnir: Rightfully so, those could well be the first of many. Another one looking to earn those valuable two G1 points tonight is Tyler Quest. I hear she's backstage right now keeping a close eye on developments.
At that moment, the camera cuts to the backstage area.
The cameras cut to the locker room area where Jackson and Tyler are standing beside monitor. They are watching some of the show.
Tyler Quest: I am so excited about being a part of the G1 this year. Hopefully, I can leave a lasting impression on Victor Price.
Jackson Pollack: Keep in mind Tyler, you have Scorpio to deal with so don't get ahead of yourself.
Tyler nods her head.
Tyler Quest: Don't worry babe, I got everything under control. I am pretty sure Scorpio won't even know what hit him.
Jackson Pollack: If that Creme de la creme guy gets involved then I will make it the biggest mistake of his pathetic life.
Tyler smiles as they continue to watch the monitor as the camera cuts to ringside.
"The Baddest" by Raon Lee hits as Narumi Tsutsumi makes her entrance with the Indy Championship hooped around her shoulders, the championship does little hops as she skips and prances down the ramp. The crowd cheers her on as she waves at them on her way.
Evans: Here comes the reigning Indy Champion! Fresh off her defence at StrangleMania, she's all smiles tonight!
Kushnir: And what a match it was. Anybody would be smiling after winning a contest like that and leaving with the flag. Considering their prior Capture The Flag match was on the Freeview show, Narumi in her debut on the main show of StrangleMania became the first to conquer the legendary test that is Scorpio when she grabbed her flag. Speaking of flags looks like she's got flags all around the ring for what's got to say tonight!
Narumi enters the ring revealed to have a flag hanging from every corner: The Sessen Doji sacrifice to an Oni flag, her family flag, a Senshi of the Blade Flag, and the Prime flag. Onihime chants break out while Narumi is given a microphone, and she stops to smile as it gets louder.
Crowd: ONIHIME! ONIHIME! ONIHIME! ONIHIME!
Narumi: Thank you EWC universe! It means a lot! Last year, things were going south with me where I'd lost on the Freeview of StrangleMania and then got headhunted on this very post StrangleMania Prime to lose my championship. I lost my monthly sponsorships, people started counting me out, and Scorpio was running around trying to throw everyone he could under the bus for our loss. But this year, everything seems different after StrangleMania. I got on the main StrangleMania PPV with a victory and instead of the G1 being over this is when it just begins this year! It's giving me a great feeling, like I'm getting a new lease on life with this new season start and G1! And I'm telling you, I plan on doing my best to make it all something Prime and you fans get to be a part of as you witness something historic!
Narumi's smile gets wider as they cheer that on.
Narumi: Scorpio once said he'd take my title and make us all show him the respect and obedience he believes he deserves. Well, I'm still champion, and I don't demand respect nor obedience. I simply earn what I can. And I appreciate that I've heard many on this brand give me the respect granted to the top reigning champion. I do have a certain respect for Scorpio, obviously for what's he's done in his illustrious wrestling career, but the problem is that he's never understood that he's not the only rebel on Prime. How can anyone not see how chaotic we are? We have bizarre basket cases, youngbloods invading other brands, people who couldn't be changed by anger management classes, people who want to do musicals, and even more people I wouldn't change a thing about. Because this is the indies, the only independent brand in the EWC! We are Prime!
A Prime chant lightly breaks out and Narumi nods before continuing to talk.
Narumi: I may go by the oni princess, but I'm proud to be Onihime of a brand where no one is weak enough to kneel to anyone! On this oni island, anyone can feel free to challenge me for my throne and championship whenever they dare. They just need to remember that while I may not be the biggest oni in size, I'm definitely up there in mischief and determination. So don't ever cross me the wrong way, because I have a long memory and when I want destruction I shall unleash it with unbridled fury. Scorpio had to learn that at StrangleMania. Amber, you've come at me correctly, so I shall honour you with a battle worthy of your station as I intend to see what you've got. Regardless of what happens tonight, keep fighting on, girl. You may be waging war with Brawl a bit earlier than the rest of us, but we'll all be joining the fray soon enough, and we'll make the rest of the EWC know we island devils haven't even begun to cause the mayhem we're capable of! First, Prime will have the greatest tournament in the EWC, and then after that splendour, all hell will break loose for Parabellum as we level all other brands and give them a thrashing they'll never forget! That's my declaration as Onihime, the flag bearer of Prime!
Narumi goes up the turnbuckle with the Prime flag and begins waving it in the air as the chants increase into a massive uncontrollable fan war cries for Prime. The show goes to quick commercials fading from the loud Prime chorus.

Kyle Gautier
Vs Kazia "Galactic Vixxen" Siona
Match Writer: EWC Staff Assistant: Em
Evans: With all eyes both in the arena and backstage all on the G1 we move to our next G1 group match. This time it's Kyle Gautier fresh of a victory at our last Prime going one on one with the debuting Kazie Siona. She truly is out of this world.
Reid: The following match, set for one fall, is a G1 Match. Joining us first, hailing from the Gemini Constellation and weighing in at 143 pounds ... KAZIA SIONA!
"ET" begins to play filling the arena with sound when the lights flash purple, green, blue and yellow, and glitter falls on the ramp. Kazia Siona walks out onto the top of the ramp as her tron plays, she turns to the audience and poses with her arms out. After a few moments she walks down the ramp towards the camera, motioning for it to follow her as she plays to the camera and the crowd. She climbs into the ring and up onto the turnbuckle. A smirk on her lips as her green eyes pan over the audience and she leans over, booping the camera as if she was booping someone's nose. She straddles the turnbuckle and leans back, waiting on her opponent, before flipping off it, landing in a pose on one knee, smirking at the crowd.
Reid: And the opponent, residing in Mobile, Alabama and weighing in at 235 pounds ... KYLE GAUTIER!
An elegant Purple spotlight shines on the ramp as ‘The Man’ by the Killers blares. Kyle Gautier is standing at the top soaking in the raucous cheers. He slaps hands with anyone as he runs down to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and goes to as many corners as he can to get ready.
DING DING DING
Both circle each other before Siona slips behind Gautier for a waistlock. Gautier spins looking for a back elbow smack but Siona ducks and rolls Gautier up for a school boy. Gautier rolls through it onto his knees but Siona catches him with a superkick. Siona lifts Gautier to his feet but he rams a knee into her ribs before hitting a snapmare. He then runs off the ropes hitting Siona in the face with a boot. Gautier lifts Siona off the mat and up onto his shoulders before driving her back to the canvas with an Alabama slam. He hooks the leg as he makes the cover.
ONE....
TWO....
THR.... NO! KICK OUT!
Siona rolls a shoulder off the canvas to break the count. Gautier lifts Siona off the mat and positions her for a DDT but she counters with an inverted atomic drop and a step up enziguri. Gautier quickly gets to his feet and he runs at Siona who arm drags him to the mat and hits a low dropkick to the side of his skull. She rolls him over and makes a cover.
ONE....
TWO....
THR.... NO! KICK OUT!
Gautier pushes Siona off him breaking the count. Gautier staggers to his feet where Siona lifts him for a buckle bomb. Gautier is able to slip over Siona's shoulders and drops her with a DDT. Both are down.
Evans: And both are down here!
Kushnir: Two G1 points will go to the winner but you can't win a match by laying on the mat.
Both slowly get to their feet where Siona blasts Gautier with an elbow smash. She then runs off the ropes and tilt a whirls around and around and around Gautier hitting a Galaxies Greatest Move. She makes a cover
ONE....
TWO....
THR.... NO! KICK OUT!
Gautier just manages to roll onto his side breaking the count. Siona takes a few steps back to the corner as Gautier rolls to his hands and knees. Siona runs leaping for a dropkick but Gautier catches her in mid air turning it into an Orphan Bedtime Story. Siona screams in pain as she stretches for the ropes. She tries to pull Gautier toward the rope but he wrenches further back on the hold. Eventually, Siona gets a finger to the ropes breaking the hold. Siona goes almost foetal on the ring apron due to the pain in her back and legs.
Evans: She looks in a lot of pain right now.
Kushnir: Probably a good reason for that but she needs to fight through it if she wants the G1 points.
Gautier drags Siona back into the ring. As he reaches to lift her she rolls him for a small package.
ONE....
TWO....
THR.... NO! KICK OUT!
Gautier just manages to kick out. Both get to their feet but Gautier kicks Siona in the gut allowing for an Oliver Twist Of Fate that drives her down to the mat. Gautier rolls her over and hooks the leg
ONE....
TWO....
THREE!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall ... KYLE GAUTIER !!!
Evans: A big win and a big two points here. Those could become very valuable as the G1 moves on.
Kushnir: Yes they will but Siona looked very good out there in her Prime debut. She may be a dark horse in the G1. She proved here she had the skills. I wouldn't be surprised if this spurns her on and she goes on to win the whole thing.
Gautier gets to his feet and holds two fingers up to the camera to indicate the two G1 points he has. He then rolls out of the ring and heads up the ramp with his arms held high in celebration.
Evans: Yes indeed Kyle, those two points do indeed go to you
Kushnir: Staff But, who will leave here tonight with two points AND the Indy Championship when Narumi Tsutsumi defends against Amber Lisa Hall in a huge Group A match and it's next!

INDY CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES GROUP A MATCH
Amber Lisa Hall
Vs Narumi Tsutsumi
Match Writer: EWC Staff Assistant: Em
We return from commerical where Evans is ready to call the next match ..
Evans: What an incredible draw this is for Amber Lisa Hall, her first taste of G1 2022, and the Indy Championship is on the line. You couldn't ask for more. Narumi looks PRIMED (haha Mac made a punny) to defend in every match as she has shown no signs of slowing down and you can bet she plans to Main Event World Wide in a few months as PRIMES top Champion.
Reid: The following match, set for one fall, is a G1 match and it is for the EWC Indy Championship. Joining us first, the challenger, from Brooklyn, New York and weighing in tonight 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 entrance way with a grin ready for her opponent's theme to start
Reid: And the opponent, making her way to the ring, weighing in at 125 pounds, from Shinjuku Japan, the EWC Indy Champion,.......she is the Onihime……. NARUMI TSUTSUMI!
Stage spotlights shine down in the dark as "The Baddest" by Raon Lee begins to play with the oni princess skipping onto the scene in a pink oni mask. Narumi waves at the fans as the spotlight follows her. As she makes her to the ring apron, she turns to the camera to take off her mask and blows a kiss as the lights turn back on in the arena. She enters the ring to skip around and wave at the crowd.
DING DING DING
Narumi charges at Amber with a Superman punch that Amber is able to catch in mid air and transition into a powerslam. Amber pulls Narumi to her feet and cracks her with a headbutt. Amber then hits a hard backhand chop to the chest before dropping Narumi to the canvas with a side slam backbreaker. Narumi struggles to her feet but Amber grabs Narumi's waist and folds her in half with a German suplex. She rolls Narumi over and makes a cover.
ONE....
TWO....
THR.... NO! KICK OUT!
Narumi gets a shoulder off the mat to break the count. Amber lifts Narumi to her feet and attempts a DDT but Narumi manages to free herself from it and shoves Amber away. Amber takes a step forward and is met with a roundhouse kick to the side of the head. Narumi runs off the ropes crashing into Amber with a rear view that sends both crashing to the mat. Narumi is on her feet first and she drops a bending over Amber back to the canvas with a fameasser. Both get to their feet where Narumi cracks Amber with a knife edge chop that echoes through the Vaudoise Aréna. Amber clutches her chest in pain but that leaves her open for Narumi to hit a snap dragon suplex. Narumi bridges it as the referee counts.
ONE....
TWO....
THR.... NO! KICK OUT!
Amber gets a shoulder up to break the count but Narumi grabs Amber in a rear naked choke. Amber writhes and wriggles as she tries to escape or reach a rope. Some how Amber has the strength to pull herself to her feet before dropping backward to the canvas driving the air out of Narumi as she breaks the hold.
Evans: That could have broken a rib or a lung!
Kushnir: Whatever injury it did cause Narumi needs to fight through it if she wants to keep her championship and get the G1 points.
Amber pulls Narumi to her feet before taking her back down with three rolling suplexes. Narumi clutches her ribs as she makes her way to her feet. From almost nowhere, Amber sends her flying across the ring with a Drive By. She makes the cover.
ONE....
TWO....
THR.... NO! KICK OUT!
Narumi just gets a shoulder off the canvas. Amber lifts Narumi for a Powerbomb but Narumi fights back with right hands and a hurricanrana. Amber staggers to her feet and walks right into a Master Sword. Amber drops to the mat. Not satisfied, Narumi climbs to the top turnbuckle and leaps hitting a Queen Me! Now she makes the cover.
ONE....
TWO....
THR.... NO! KICK OUT!
Amber rolls to her front to break the count.
Evans: What does Narumi have to do to keep Amber down?
Kushnir: Could ask the same question of Narumi Tsutsumi! Both women are still in this. Anyone could win here.
Amber lays on the mat clutching her ribs. Narumi lays in the corner clutching her own. Amber gets to her feet and runs at Narumi looking for a running hip attack. At the last second, Narumi dives out of the way and Amber crashes into the corner. She staggers out of the corner where Narumi rolls her up for a school girl.
ONE....
TWO....
THR.... NO! KICK OUT!
Amber lifts an arm high into the air to break the count. Narumi grabs it and drags Amber to her feet. Narumi arm wringers Amber's left arm before hitting Paymon. Amber drops to the mat and Narumi slumps on top. The referee counts.
ONE....
TWO....
THREE!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall and STILL the EWC Indy Champion ... NARUMI TSUTSUMI!!!
Evans: How? How do you beat this woman? I was certain that Amber was going to do it here tonight and yet somehow Narumi Tsutsumi is victorious here.
Kushnir: Amber Lisa Hall came close here. She dished out a lot of punishment but Narumi Tsutsumi proved what a champion she is here. She got one moment and took full advantage of it. Now she retains her title and has valuable G1 points.
Amber and Narumi both lay on the canvas. Narumi gets to her feet as the referee hands her the championship. Narumi takes a moment to look at her championship before dropping to her knees in tears as the emotion literally pours out of her.
Evans: The tears of joy flow as Narumi Tsutsumi retains her championship.
Kushnir: We have to take a time out but who will be the one celebrating the victory when Scorpio takes on Tyler Quest next! We'll be back in about 30 seconds ..
The camera cuts to commercial.
We return to ringside where the EWC crowd is still reeling from the Indy Championship match they just witnessed.
Evans: We heard from Scorpio earlier this evening when he said he was going to win the entire G1 and prove he's Prime's greatest. Now he has to step up and prove it. However, he has Tyler Quest to get through tonight and she's on a quest to do the very same thing here and score a massive upset.
Reid: The following match is part of the G1 and is schedule for one fall. Joining us first, from Angel Grove, California, weighing in at 122 pounds ... TYLER QUEST!
The X-Tron starts playing as "Your Turn To Roll" sung by Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey begins to play over the loudspeakers as Tyler Quest steps through the curtain with the Marine Corps flag draped over her shoulders. Right beside her is Jackson Pollack with his arms down by his side. Tyler smiles toward the crowd before walking down the ramp. Once they reach the bottom, Tyler slides into the ring, walks toward one of the turnbuckles, and climbs onto the middle turnbuckle. She holds the flag up high above her head before handing it to a stoic Jackson. Right after doing so, she will hit a flawless backflip before shouting Semper Fi. She stands in the corner and waits.
Reid: And her opponent, from London, England, weighing in at 205 pounds ... 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.
DING DING DING
As Creme retreats from the apron, Tyler wastes no time and immediately begins a fast-paced assault on the S-Factor, hitting him with a dropkick to the back that sends him stumbling headlong into the corner. Tyler immediately capitalizes on the positioning, jumping up onto the middle rope to springboard herself up and onto Scorpio’s shoulders to hit a reverse poisonrana! The S-Factor’s skull spikes the mat with a sickening thud as Tyler keeps the pressure going, bouncing off of the ropes and snapping forward with Question Mark Central as Scorpio sits up. Tyler hooks the leg, looking to put this one away early!
One!
T-
Scorpio’s shoulder snaps up with authority, almost incredulously, as Tyler gets back to her feet and motions for Scorpio to get to his. She circles him, jumping up looking for Semper Fi but the bigger man finally has his wits about him now, and as she reaches for his shoulders to bring him down, Scorpio shifts his weight and uses his size advantage to throw her forward over his shoulder. Tyler lands on her feet, turning back towards Scorpio but meets a brutal lariat for her troubles. Brexit Means Brexit! Tyler hits the mat and Jackson looks concerned ringside for the way her head snapped back. Scorpio takes a moment to gather himself, looking positively furious before he picks her up and hits a snap suplex, following it up with a standing moonsault as he looks down at Tyler with a shout of “HOW’S THAT FOR GYMNASTICS?!”
Evans: Scorpio looking very good and very confident right now.
Kushnir: Maybe so but he can't afford to get too confident. If he does that, this could easily go the way of Tyler Quest.
Scorpio lifts Tyler back to her feet, dragging her into the corner and placing his red-soled Louboutin against her throat, choking her out while looking incredibly nonchalant about it. The official begins to count and Scorpio relents to releasing before he’s disqualified. As Tyler gasps for air, Scorpio hits a superkick that almost knocks Tyler into next Sunday as she bounces back into the turnbuckle. The S-Factor pulls her out of the corner, hooking Tyler’s arm over his shoulders as the crowd rains down boos from Lausanne. Fuck You Europe! Scorpio lands flush, both of Tyler’s shoulders down to the mat.
One!
Two!
T-
Tyler kicks out with all she’s got, sending Scorpio reeling and a shocked expression marring his made-up face. The S-Factor looks like he’s going to come absolutely unhinged as he screams at the official, insisting that there’s no way Tyler could have possibly kicked out before three. By the time Scorpio finally abandons his argument, the crowd is on their feet and so is Tyler Quest! Scorpio turns around, only to be met with a vicious discus right hand. The Marine Corps Salute! Scorpio is stunned, staggering back before he comes flying back at Quest. She bridges, TyVasion style, and Scorpio stumbles and tries to keep his momentum from bringing him down to a knee as he misses wildly with the lariat attempt. Tyler is back to her feet, turning Scorpio around before hooking his head and pulling him down into a small package.
One!
Scorpio kicks out, and Tyler rolls backward and to her feet just as Scorpio is to a knee. KICK OF TY! Scorpio slumps back, and Tyler immediately makes the cover, hooking both legs.
One!
Two!
TH-NO!
Scorpio gets the shoulder up again, the crowd roaring their disproval as Creme stands ringside, fanning the S-Factor with her hands as Tyler holds her head in shock and frustration.
Evans: Very close to a huge win here!
Kushnir: Tyler's ripping her air out in frustration while on the other side of the coin, Creme at ringside may need some medical intervention after that.
Tyler gets back to her feet, determination evident on her face as the crowd starts to get behind her. She grabs Scorpio, pulling him to his feet before hooking his arms as she looks out to the crowd and nods. She attempts Angel Wings, but Scorpio has her scouted out and instead stands himself upright and sends her to the mat with a back body drop. He turns, grabbing hold of Tyler and hauling her to her feet but Tyler leaps up with his assistance and brings Scorpio back down to the mat with a headscissors. She pulls him to his feet now, looking like she wants to pull him towards the corner, but Scorpio turns the tables with a leaping enziguri that drops Tyler down to a knee. Scorpio yanks Tyler back to her feet, but Tyler attempts to send Scorpio into the ropes. Scorpio reverses, sending Tyler into the ropes but Tyler baseball slides between Scorpio’s legs on the rebound. She leaps up, looking for Semper Fi again but Scorpio leaps up as Tyler hangs in the air and capitalizes. AGR!! Tyler drops to the mat and Scorpio can be seen laughing almost maniacally. The crowd boos, Creme attempting to hush them at ringside but Scorpio refuses to make the cover. Instead, he drags Tyler back up, she’s out on her feet but the Prime Minister has a message to send to the rest of the G1 as he places his heel under her throat and drops back viciously. The HEEL TURN! Tyler snaps back and Scorpio stands both his heeled boots over her shoulders, pinning her down while giving the crowd an absolutely vile stare.
One!
Two!
THREE!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall and with 2 points in the G1... SCORPIO!!!Evans: Scorpio backs it up and claims the points just as he said he would do!
Kushnir: Not as easily as he would have liked though. The referee's hand came an inch away from a Tyler Quest win a few times here. This G1 group could be a very tightly contested one based on tonight.
Scorpio removes one foot, before casually wiping his boot across her chest as Creme clamors up the stairs to hold the ropes open for the defiant S-Factor as he exits the ring with a sneer. Jackson slides into the ring as soon as the coast is clear, cradling Tyler as she sits up and coughs violently after the assault.
Evans: The highs of victory and the lows of defeat on show here tonight on Prime.
Kushnir: Exactly, but who will taste the high and who will suffer the loss in our next match when the Showtime Broadcast Championship is added to the two G1 points in the prize pot when Scorpio's sidekick Dalilah Ashe tries to rip the Showtime Championship from the grasp of Bosa? It's our main event and it's up next! Don't go anywhere folks, PRIME will be right back!
The camera cuts as we head to commercial.
SHOWTIME BROADCAST CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES GROUP B MATCH
DALILAH ASHE
Vs BOSA
Match Writer: Chunks of Darna Dare
We return to ringside where Niklaus Forbes checks the ring over in preparation for the main event.
Evans: As promised it is main event time. Dalilah Ashe looks to succeed where Scorpio failed and defeat Bosa for the Showtime Broadcast Championship. If she can do so here tonight, she will be rewarded with two G1 points as well. However Bosa had very strong words for Ashe, and he is not ready nor is he willing to lay down and hand the Championship over. This will be a hard fought match, with the Championship and two G1 points on the line. Let's head to Damon Reid for the introductions.
Reid: The following match is for the Showtime Broadcast Championship! Joining us first, 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
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. 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
Reid: And her opponent!
The arena goes silent as Damon Reid stands at center ring. Around him, camera's flash and fans speak amongst themselves as he slowly raises a microphone to his lips.
Reid: Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring your attention to the Beast Incarnate. He is a man known the world over for his power, strength, and never surrender attitude. He is a second generation superstar with a family legacy that will be spoken about for years to come. Hailing from Marin, California! Here is the BEAST OF PRIME ... BOOOOOOOSSSSSSAAAAAAAA!!!!
"Psychosocial" – Slipknot begins to play! The crowd completely erupts as Bosa emerges from the backstage area! Stopping on the stage area, he glares at the ring a moment, adjusting his gloves and pads. Taking a deep breath, he looks around the arena as the fans cheer him on. Licking his lips, he nods his head.
The camera slowly pans around Bosa now as the fans continue to respond loudly! Bosa remains in place, allowing himself to bask in the moment. With one last nod, he begins to walk down the rampway and slide under the bottom rope. He paces the ring, stretching his arms as he does so. The arena is completely overwhelmed by the sounds of the fans stomping their feet and clapping their hands.
Bosa's theme song slowly fades out as he stands in place, anticipating the battle that is yet to come. In the distance, the fans begin to chant his name. Bosa nods and remains focused on the match that is about to begin.
Evans: With bad blood by way of Dalilah Ashe's affiliation with Scorpion, the man she says lost unfairly to the Beast of Prime, you can bet that she'll stop at nothing to put this man away and right that perceived wrong. This is going to be violent!
DING DING DING
Bosa is wasting no time, and has a fist in the air the second the bell rings, driving the crowd into an early frenzy as they recognize the signal for his Chin Check. Ashe is no less well-informed. She licks her lips, rolls her eyes, and promptly rolls from the ring. Pacing around the outside, she is momentarily distracted and turns to howl her derision at a heckling fan. Bosa takes this opportunity to vault the rope into a flying lariat!
No! Ashe spins around, seizing a single underhook and driving the Beast into the barricade! Forbes instructs the competitors to return to the ring, and begins his count. The Vicious Mistress jacks her jaw at the ref, but complies in some sense - stepping onto and over Bosa on her way back to the ring, driving her heels savagely into his sternum. Reaching the apron, she throws a leg up onto it, and arches her back, blowing a coquettish kiss to the audience before rolling in with a peal of manic laughter. She's on her feet, pushing her hair back with both hands, when Bosa staggers upright and makes his own way back, forced to redirect as Ashe throws herself back toward the ropes.
The nigh-on three hundred pounder smirks, shaking his head as she lashes out at him with her nails, and even throws a kick through the ropes. With a burst of speed, he lunges around the nearby corner post and hops up onto the apron, beckoning his opponent on. She obliges with a snarl, and he cuts her off with a smash of his shoulder, then darts through the middle of the ropes and comes up behind her smooth as butter, hauling the woman into a huge German suplex!
Ashe bounces across the ring, almost slipping right on through to the outside. Bosa plays to the crowd a moment before pursuing her. Ashe staggers upright, dazed, and is swiftly seized into a headlock. The Beast drags her into the middle of the ring, but before he can continue his assault from there, Dalilah seizes a white-knuckled handful of his crotch and squeezes. Bosa is made of stern stuff, but his expression passes through shock and pain, and the distraction is enough for Ashe to squirm free, knee him in the gut, and then leap to hit a double axe handle to the back, dropping him to the canvas. The Last Temptation grins, and circles around her fallen opponent, making a lascivious show of licking her fingers as she almost idly lays in a few sharp kicks to the head and ribs.
Evans: I have no words for that.
Kushnir: Gives a kicking and keeps on licking?
Bosa pushes himself upright, and Ashe hastily backs away, but he's not letting her make space - determined to press the attack, stay on the offensive. He pursues her with meaty forearms and punishing chops, driving her around the ring and into one of the corner posts, where he keeps her in place with another smash from his muscular shoulder. The Last Temptation gasps, and asks him for one more. Bosa shakes his head with obvious disgust, but looks about to oblige... until he scoops her up, spins around and plants her with a spinning spinebuster! He covers!
ONE

KICKOUT!
Ashe throws herself clear, then reverses this momentum to rake her nails across Bosa's face. He manages to turn away, keeping his eyes safe and getting halfway to his feet, so she settles for taking his back instead, digging sharp furrows into the flesh as she digs her fingertips in with brutal intent. The Beast screams in pain, turns to deck her, and she slips past him, scrambling up onto him. Bosa grabs at her furiously, but this is all to her plan; she flies forward off his shoulders, nailing a front flip stunner! Bosa remains standing, but his arms are flailing and his legs are jelly. A smiling Ashe hits the ropes and takes him off his feet with a flying headscissor takedown!
She's not done, lunging off her knees toward the corner post, using both arms to vault up and then fold her arms across her chest, leaping backwards into the Descending Angel! Bosa convulses in pain from this third, thunderous impact, and Ashe floats over into the cover!

KICKOUT!
Evans: She thought that was it! This crowd thought that was it! Hell, I thought that was it!
Kushnir: Maybe so but Bosa didn't agree an this match continues.
The Beast of Prime kicks out hard, finding his feet so instantaneously that he stumbles, still not recovered from the vitriolic combination assault of his challenger. Dalilah Ashe is slower to her feet, keeping her stare on Bosa as she takes a moment to massage her hands, which are shaking and streaked here and there with blood. The champion raises an eyebrow at this. Ashe - noting his attention - responds with a feral hiss, and hurries to stand, shaking out her bloody digits. Bosa steps forward, offering a test of strength that she seems to consider in spite of lingering injuries.
Neither of them lets the moment settle. Bosa drives forward, and she stumbles back to hit the ropes, coming back toward him at full steam - and abruptly captured. The Beast arches her into a high-angle belly-to-belly, but Ashe diverts herself in mid-air to land on one knee and hit the ropes a second time, this time springboarding into a crossbody! Bosa tries to catch her again, but she has too much momentum, and they go down together!
She tries to cover, and he throws her aside, rolling to his feet with his arm raised. The crowd pop, as Bosa hits the ropes himself and nails the Chin Check! He kips up, throwing his arms out with a roar, and steps over to Dalilah, pulling her up into position for a DDT. She blocks it, furiously attempting to sweep his legs. Bosa doesn't go down, but with a momentary opening she pulls out and drives both hands upward, latching on with her bloody fingers. One around the throat, the other in his mouth! Dalilah Ashe is SCREAMING, with pain and effort both, as she attempts to lift Bosa and drive him down with a choke slam!
She gets it! In spite of themselves, the crowd explodes! It's JUST impressive to watch! With Bosa grounded, she hunkers over him, desperately trying to force the submission with the Mandible Claw!
Evans: That hold is paralyzing. Dalilah Ash could get the win here
Kushnir: Bosa is too far away from the ropes to break the hold, he'll need to break it on his own if he wants to keep his championship, but if anyone could do it, it's Bosa.
In the end, Bosa powers his way out of the excruciating hold, pulling his legs up to drive both knees into Ashe's midsection, then simply wrench her arm away and pull her down into a headbutt that drops her momentarily to the canvas. She's not quite insensible, but there are stars in her eyes, as Bosa rolls to his feet, choking and gasping, and hauls her to vertical base. They're eye-to-eye, and the Beast looks angry as he brings his own hand around Ashe's throat, scooping her up to reply with a chokeslam of his own, stalling her at the apex to bring her crashing down!
Bosa takes a knee. The fans in attendance ripple with anticipation and uncertainty; the Beast has made his hits count, but a large amount of offensive energy has come from Dalilah Ashe, and the possibility for an upset looms large. With both competitors down, the crowd begins to rally behind the champion, who nods slowly and appreciatively, staggering upright at the same time as his unhinged opponent.
They trade shots, and the result is Ashe flopping backwards onto the ropes courtesy of a heavy kick by Bosa. He steps in, following up with a clinched knee strike, and then seizes an arm, whipping her toward the ropes. His fist goes up, asking for another Chin Check, but as he launches in to meet the woman halfway, she comes alive! The blow is ducked, and she attempts a spear that only succeeds in bringing the pair of them to a standstill. She's breathing hard, her teeth gritted, frustration clearly mounting, and with a banshee wail she settles for a whip of her own, driving Bosa into the corner. She hits a handspring back elbow, and then steps back, clinging onto the top rope as she shows off her bruised and battered curves with a sexy choke, her boot slicing Bosa's throat.
Niklaus Forbes is stern with his warning, but Ashe holds on until the count of four, then turns to start arguing with the official. It's a rehearsed routine, and the recovering Bosa is the victim; but there's nobody to capitalize on the distraction. Lacey Savage has abandoned her client. Irate and embarrassed, Dalilah shoves the official aside and throws herself at Bosa, choking him with her injured hands as Forbes threatens to disqualify her!
Evans: Dalilah Ashe needs to be very careful here. If she gets herself disqualified here she loses the match, the two G1 points and her hopes of winning the championship.
Kushnir: I'm not fully sure she's thinking that rationally at this point. She just sees Bosa and is hearing this crowd solidly behind him. She's just looking to damage Bosa.
The Beast falls face-first out of the corner once he's released, and Ashe and Forbes are arguing again. Bosa takes the opportunity to recover, coughing, sucking in a couple of big breaths. Ashe spots him and moves to cut him off as he comes out of the corner, but the Beast hoarsely roars and stomps his way out into a big boot that spins Ashe from her feet. She crashes down in a messy pile, and he picks her up. Dalilah fights it, almost pulls free, and Bosa is forced to change his plans, yanking her back in for a short-arm clothesline, then with a second, almighty roar scooping her up and over into a huge Death Valley Driver! He covers!

KICKOUT!
Bosa clutches at his throat as he rises, and Ashe is wavering. He shoots for a double-leg, and she all but falls forward, meeting him with a knee, then slumping over his stunned form, hooking him up instinctively for a swinging neckbreaker. Bosa hits the canvas HARD, and fully half the crowd falls silent before they begin to rally to the Beast's cause. The Last Temptation scowls out at them, wailing on Bosa's broad back with both fists before dragging him back to his feet.
With her legs spread, and his head cradled in one arm, she plants a lingering kiss on his seemingly senseless lips, before driving her hand across his throat. A Kiss Before Dying! Dalilah Ashe hurls herself into swinging DDT, gaining incredible momentum as she devastates the champion!
She rolls to one knee, laughing maniacally, and hurls herself into the cover...

Bosa kicks out?! The arena explodes in dismay and awe, their emotional outpour cut through by the horrified shriek of Ashe. She slams her palms to the mat, throws a closed fist into Bosa's face, and then covers again!

.
NO!!!
This time, the Beast goes straight to vertical base, trying to expel a spirited roar but only coughing and choking instead, staggering like a blind man, lost in the pain of Dalilah's assault. The deranged challenger is talking to herself now, stalking around the ring before she drives full-speed at the champion, who still seems to be out on his feet. She's determined to CHANGE THIS, throwing herself at his back, leaping up to nail the Brutus Blade and finally close out this contest...
Bosa has a better idea. UNLEASH THE BEAST! He barely even needs to adjust position, reaching up on pure instinct, capturing Ashe's head in mid-air and DRIVING her to the mat! The EWC fans are losing their collective minds, as the Beast flips his large frame up and over into a cover, his expression wracked with pain and deep, powerful determination.

Reid: Your winner, via pinfall, and STILL the Showtime Broadcast Champion ... BOSA!!!The accumulated damage keeps the hellion down, Ashe lying in an exhausted and battered pile as Bosa stumbles upright with the last of his adrenaline, making it the ropes which he shakes to the explosive delight of the fans. A fist slams to the big man's chest, and then he thrusts a finger heavenward in tribute and thanks. Forbes delivers the belt, throws Bosa's arm high, and then the victorious champion ascends the turnbuckle, thrusting his championship into the air.
Evans: We all thought she had it, then at the last possible instant it's the BEAST who retains! Dalilah Ashe was ambitious and cunning, as always, but Bosa's a tough man to put away, Hayley. He retains, and makes his mark on the G1 tournament in the process!
Kushnir: She certainly did try everything, including some woefully underhanded tactics, but there's no arguing with the technique and power of the U.T.B. The Beast remains one of the favorites in this tournament. Long may he reign! Incredible win by Bosa here tonight, he was a beast in the ring!
Evans: A big win here tonight for Bosa, as he not only keeps his Championship but adds two points in the G1. Big two point wins for Scorpio, Narumi Tsutsumi, Kyle Gautier, Eddie Dozier and The Defender here tonight as well. Who will be celebrating when we head to our next show in Poland in two weeks? We cannot wait to find out as the G1 is JUST heating up!! Until then on behalf of the entire PRIME roster, Victor Price, Hayley and myself we wish you goodnight from Switzerland and we'll see you next time on Prime!
The camera feed fades out as Bosa continues to celebrate in the ring.
