Fog spreads throughout the arena, covering the screaming fans as "Asking For It" begins to sound off over the loudspeakers.



"MAYBE YOU TALKED TOOOO MUCH AND YOU WERE...
ASKING FOR IT!!!"

The fans scream for delight as the X-Tron explodes to life. Pyro ignites on the stage.



The camera pans around the arena as fans scream for delight and begin their chants and raise their signs high into the air.

{I DARNA DARE YOU TO BE THE VERY BEST}

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

MATCH ONE
King Flip VS Mark Storm VS Queen Melody Malone
Triple Threat - Falls Count Anywhere Match
REF: Pierce Patterson

---

We return to ringside where Chriqui stands ready to call the next match.

Martinez: It's time for the opening match, this one will get wild fast. 

Loydson: QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN SHIT!!!

Chriqui: The following match is a triple threat falls count anywhere match scheduled for on fall. Introducing first from Brooklyn, New York, & weighing in at 220 pounds... YOUR hero and MINE... MAAARK STOOORM!!!

'Short Change Hero' by The Heavy begins to play through the PA system, emerging from the back is Your Hero and Mine, who has a smile etching onto his face as he stands on the top of the entrance ramp. Storm begins to make his way to the ring, high-fiving a few of the fans in the front row before leaping onto the apron and striking a pose, nodding his head in appreciation to the reception he's getting. He enters the ring, climbing up onto the top rope and once again, poses for the fans, a grin stretching from ear to the other as his theme song slowly fades in the background.

Chriqui: And his opponent from the land of money and fame, & weighing in at 220 pounds... KIIING FLIP!!!

'Machinegun' by Portishead begins to play. Just as he makes his way through the curtain in his usual hooded vest, another hooded figure comes out with a steel chair and attacks him from behind. CRACK! Flip takes a shot to the back of the head by the chair. This sends him stumbling to the edge of the stage. He stands and turns to see the hooded figure. He stands in disbelief as the figure raises the chair to strike again. CRACK! Flip takes a chair shot right to the face and falls ten or so feet into some equipment stored below, crumpling through a table below. The hooded figure does not reveal themselves to the crowd. They simply leave back through the curtain. Chriqui and the fans are all in stunned silence for a moment before the ring announcer is forced to move on.

Chriqui: And their opponent from San Diego, California, & weighing in at 145 pounds... MELODY MAAALONE!!!

The lights dim, but don’t go dark before the soft words of Billie Eilish’s “You Should See Me In A Crown” begin to play over the P.A. system. Melody comes out from backstage with her crown upon her head and her personal retainer Rory Hyland in tow. She’s unflinching to the crowd’s expression as she comes down the entrance ramp. Rory gets onto the apron, holding the ropes open for Melody to climb through without losing her crown. As Melody climbs into the ring, she gives the crowd a sarcastic smile before she relinquishes the crown to Rory and prepares for her match.

Martinez: I don't know what the hell just happened to King Flip, but it appears Mark Storm and Melody Malone are ready to start without him! Mark looking to make his mark on his return to in-ring action after so many years away.

Loydson: ALL HAIL THE QUEEN.

DING DING DING

Both competitors circle the ring for a moment. They appear to be sizing one another up as they draw nearer to each other. They lock up in the center of the ring and Storm just shoves Malone to the canvas using his superior size. Malone looks none too pleased as she returns to a verticle position. She goes for a stiff kick to the midsection and its caught by her opponent. Enziguri! Malone connects with a swift boot to the dome that dazes her opponent. Medical personnel have poured out from backstage to check on King Flip. Meanwhile, Malone is continuing to get the drop on Storm as she hits a gorgeous standing moonsault. She lifts her opponent and whips him into the ropes. Before she can keep the momentum in her favor, however, Storm connects with a kitchen sink knee to the gut that sends Malone spinning into the canvas. She tries to shake it off as she gets back up but Mark is right there with a STIFF kick right to the chest to take her right back down. Still she relents as she rises right back to her feet. Malone rushes right into a back body drop that sends her over the ropes and right into the waiting arms of her associate, Rory. He quickly helps her to a vertical position on the ring apron, but Mark Storm leaps to the second turnbuckle and bounces off into a dropkick that sends Malone into a crossbody into Rory. Both are down on the outside as Storm takes to the turnbuckle to rally the fans behind him.

Martinez: Storm with a flurry of blows after Malone got the initial drop on him. Can he keep this up, or will the Queen find a way to fire back?

Loydson: ALL HAIL THE QUEEN.

Flip is slowly being helped around the stage to the ramp. Seeing the action, he begins to fight with the medical personnel to join in on the action. Mark Storm slides out of the ring and goes for a quick pinfall on Melody Malone.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!!

Malone kicks out just at two. Flip is just able to get away from the personnel as he stumbles right into a furious Mark Storm. The Impending Storm! A mass of quick blows and strikes see Flip's head bounce off the rampway after a massive clothesline. Mark Storm once again goes for a pinfall.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!!
.
.

Malone with the boot down on Storm to break up the pinning predicament. Malone keeps Storm down momentarily with several more boots to the back of the head and midsection, but Storm's fury eventually sees him back to his feet. Nightmare Fuel! Cover!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!!
.
.

Storm kicks out with authority. Malone gets up and sees Flip stumbling to one knee. The Royal Treatment! Cover!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.

Storm is barely able to leap forward with a forearm to the back of the head to break off the pin. The two begin brawling outside the ring, exchanging elbows, low kicks, and right hands as they slowly ascend the rampway. Rory sees the action, but he's incensed by King Flip's existence and just starts pulping him into the ground as Storm and Malone continue fighting up the rampway and through the curtain. The tron fires up to show the audience the backstage action. They grapple and stumble down the steps together before crashing into a soda machine. This breaks their hold on one another and it's Malone who strikes first with a standing dropkick. Storm gets laid out onto a food table as the kick sends him face first into the brick wall of the hallway. He's unable to move out of the way as Malone ascends the soda machine and launches herself into a flying leg drop through the table. Out of nowhere, Flip fumbles through the curtain and falls down the steps into the soda machine. A Coke vends. Flip smiles and accepts the soda as Malone goes for a pinfall on Mark Storm.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!!
.
.

Kickout by Mark Storm!

Loydson: The action picks up backstage as Malone was able to turn this bout around! And just so everyone is aware, King Flip kicked Rory in the gonads hard enough for his ancestors to feel it. It's the only way he could get away and it doesn't seem to have done him any favors.

Martinez: Well, he did get a Coke. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!

Malone and Storm slowly get to their feet as Flip continues to writhe in pain nearby. Storm connects with a chest kick that nearly takes Melody off her feet. He goes for another, but The Queen catches this one and sweeps the leg. She pulls the caught leg up as his head bounces off the concrete. The Queen's Grace! Malone lifts the body of her much heavier opponent as she locks in the submission maneuver. He has nowhere to go and nothing to grab in his immediate area for assiatance; however, it doesn't appear as if he'll be tapping out any time soon. Flip is in a seated position against the soda machine with a grin, making eye contact with Malone as she continues to apply as much pressure as possible to the knee of Mark Storm. Flip uses the machine to find a verticle base as Malone gives up and slams Storm's knee harshly on the concrete. Storm writhes in pain grabbing his knee as the King and Queen come face to face. In his stupor, Flip misreads the situation and goes in for a kiss. Melody Malone slaps the taste out of his mouth and sends him stumbling back to the soda machine against the wall. Out of nowhere, Rory comes thundering through the curtain. Flip very finely evades the onslaught and Rory crashes through the machine, getting himself stuck in the hard plastic of the probably broken machine. Malone connects with a dropkick and Flip goes rolling backward. Malone gets up and gets accosted by a now vertical Mark Storm who hobbles into a shoulder block from behind. Flip is on one knee as Storm approaches. FZZZZZZ! Flip pops the lid of the Coca-Cola and sends a mighty blast of fizzy deliciousness into the face of his opponent. Storm fumbles backward. Flip drops the can but has no time to see what's coming. Malone had gotten herself on top of a box of sound equipment and was taking to the air. Off with their head! Cover!

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

DING DING DING

Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall over King Flip ... QUEEN MELODY MALONE!!!

Melody Malone gets to her feet, hmphs at the camera and heads towards her locker room, a slight limp to her. Mark Storm slinks off towards the bathroom to get the fizz out of his eyes while medical staff check on King Flip. 

Martinez: Melody Malone picks up another win, and she is looking nigh unstoppable. One has to wonder if she's got a Undisputed Championship match waiting for her come Scars & Stripes at this rate!

Loydson: King Flip was in a state we've never seen, if the idiot doesn't get back into shape his Hardcore Revolution will end in a hardcore disaster!

Backstage interviewer Jenna Salvatore is discovered.

Salvatore: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time, Kyle Gautier and Peach Gelato!

Peach glides into frame a bit awkwardly as it’s her first time having interview time. Kyle gently helps her find her mark.

Gelato: Kia ora, Jenna! Thank you for having us! Oh, I’m so nervous…

Gautier: Evening, Jenna.

Salvatore: Let’s start by asking the big question, Kyle. Why her?

Gelato: Oi! Rude…

Gautier: Let me answer your question with a question. Why not her? Over the past year, I have taken it upon myself to get to know Peach Gelato and she is definitely more than a one-dimensional character. For instance, did you know she is an accomplished ballet dancer?

Gelato: It’s true!

Salvatore: Really?

Gelato: As far as you know!

Gautier: Honestly, she is a kind hearted person who the world has decided to look down upon and toss away. I have a soft spot for those types.

Salvatore: So are you and Peach an item?

Peach and Kyle look at each other quizzically.

Gelato: No, we’re people.

Gautier: Yeah. Weird question…

Salvatore: No, I jus…it means…ugh, moving on. Kyle, you’ve added her to your inner circle-slash-band and we all want to know: If you do not win your block of the G1, will you still have the G1 Musical? You seem to have sunk a lot of eggs into this basket.

Gautier: You have to be prepared for anything in this business. I would much rather have put in the effort and not get to than be unprepared. It’s important to me to have these things in place.

Salvatore: And what of your other bandmates? The Dra---

Gautier: Impossibly tall sisters? I will let Peach answer this. I have to go get ready for my match.

Peach gets wide-eyed as Kyle takes her hand and, leaning in to whisper something to her, reassures her she will be fine.

Gelato: uh…so, um, we, the girls and I, we, uh, are doing great! Shay has gotten over her early..um, reluctance and Brandi, well, Brandi’s Brandi!

Salvatore: Well, without Kyle, this seems pretty pointless. This is Jenna Salvatore, signing off.

Jenna exits the frame, leaving Peach by herself, confused. She starts to process her being alone again and getting sad. Suddenly a shrill cheer is heard and about 8 of the earlier ‘Gelatos’, all wearing makeshift Peach Gelato merchandise, swarm the interview area.

Gelatos: Can it be?/ She’s even better in person./She’s magnificent!/My Queen!

Gelato: Oh, um, kia ora. How can I help?

Gelato #1: We do not need to bother you, but you are just so wonderful.

Gelato #2: May we have your autograph?

Gelato: You want MY autograph?! Because I can probably get you Kyle’s. He’s pretty durn popular!

Gelato #3: Kyle is okay but you…YOU are the moment!

Peach starts to smile.

Gelato: Wow…I’ve never been a moment before….Sure, I’ll give you autographs!

The scene fades as Peach Gelato, surrounded by her biggest fans for once, beams a grin that could blind the sun.

MATCH TWO
Ace King & Lavender VS Jason Hunter & Tanja Devereaux
B.O.R.T II Hype Tag Team Match - Tornado Tag - No DQ
REF: Mike Michaelson

---

We return to ringside and cut over to the commentary team.

Martinez: We are in the Peach State and Peach Gelato has just made the show a little bit better.

Loydson: She is adorable, that cannot be denied.

Chriqui: The following contest is a tag team match. Introducing first, coming to the ring hailing from New Orleans, Louisina; she is the Cajun Queen… TANJA DEVEREAUX!!!

Pyros hit as Videos of bustling crowds in various locations of New Orleans appear on the tron as "Daughters of Darkness" by Halestorm blasts on the P.A. system. Tanja comes out onto the top of the ramp in a style compared to Gail Kim during her early time in TNA before heading down the ramp with some of her black leather coat flows at her feet while the mix of boos and jeers and cheers from the crowd fills the arena. She slaps hands with a few fans at ringside before she reaches the bottom of the ramp.

Tanja walk up towards the ring and enters via under the bottom rope and jumps onto the middle turnbuckle. She poses as she does her usual taunt with a hand and arm in the air as "Daughters of Darkness" continues to play. Tanja steps off the turnbuckle as she removes the leather coat and throws it into a random corner.

Chriqui: And her partner, residing in San Fransisco, California and weighing in at 170 pounds... JASON HUNTER!!!

Soldier- Neffex comes over the speaker as Diana and Sara came out first as they stood on the stage with Jason with his back to the crowd and hood over his head. Sara slides the hood off his head as Diana walks ahead of them. Sara and Jason play to the fans a bit dancing to the music while Diana walks down the ramp. Diana holds the rope for them to get in while Sara and Jason get in-ring and she slides his jacket off him before leaving the ring with him glaring at the person warming up in the corner looking very serious to fight.

Chriqui: And the opponents, first weighing in at 132 pounds... LAVENDER!!!

The lights go out as 'Imaginary' by Evanescence begins to play. The lights flash in time to the guitar riff. The song kicks into its first verse as smoke billows from behind the curtains and a spotlight shined down upon the center of the stage. When the chorus kicks in the lights come back on and out walks Lavender. She looks out across the crowd as the crowd erupts into cheer. A smile creeps across her face as she embraces their warm welcome.

Lavender begins to make her way down to the ring. As Lavender reaches ringside she walks over to the steel steps, walks up them and enters the ring before climbing the nearest turnbuckle and holding her arms up high in the air. Lavender steps down from the turnbuckle and waits for the match to commence.

"Ace of Spades" rips through the State Farm Arena, and the crowd cheers as pyro goes off in time with the opening drum beats. Ace King then calmly steps out onto the stage, his eyes narrowed and focused on the ring.

Chriqui: And her partner, making his way to the ring, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He is THE GAMBLER... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!

Ace rolls his head around the back of his neck for a few seconds before focusing back in on the ring, then makes his way down the ramp, interacting with a few fans along the way. He stops a few steps short of the ring, then dives in under the bottom rope as red pyro explodes from each turnbuckle. Ace pauses on his knees in the middle of the ring for a moment before getting to his feet, his attention locked in on his opponents.

DING DING DING

Tanja and Lavender start. Tanja hits Lavender with a forearm to the jaw before lifting Lavender onto her shoulders for a death valley driver but Lavender manages to counter with an arm drag. Lavender tries to stretch the arm but Tanja counters by pushing Lavender off the ropes. Lavender rebounds leapfrogging over Tanja and dropping her with a DDT. Lavender lifts Tanja and Irish whips her to the corner and quickly follows with a clothesline. Lavender tries to backdrop Tanja but she lands on her feet and catches Lavender on the side of the head with a roundhouse kick before hoisting her up and over with a butterfly suplex. Both tag their partners. Jason and Ace charge each other. Jason looks for a knee lift but Ace sidesteps and cracks Jason with an uppercutt. He Irish whips Jason who reverses it sending Ace hard into the corner. Ace comes running out and runs into a superkick. Jason attempts a backslide but Ace rolls over Jason's back, lands on his feet and drops Jason with an exploder suplex. A cover.

Ace holds an arm high in the air breaking the count. Jason pulls Ace to his feet an jabs a thumb in his eye before ramming Ace head first into his corner and tagging in Tanja. Jason shoves Ace toward Tanja who hits an STO backbreaker into an STO. Tanja runs off the ropes at Ace who catches her with a desperation slingblade. Both are down.

Martinez: Both are down. Tanja Deveraux has to be the fresher of the two

Loydson: Exactly. However both are down showing just how much Ace King was able to put behind that move.

Both get to their feet but Ace walks into a City Of The Dead. Tanja covers him.

Loydson: And the recurring problem with tag team wrestling rears it's ugly head. Having to contend with the opponent in the ring AND the one on the outside.

Martinez: This match would have been over three or four times if they could answer that one.

As Ace turns his attentions to Tanja, Lavender runs into the ring and clotheslines both Tanja and herself over the top rope to the outside. Ace turn back to face Jason. He's on his feet and runs off the ropes hitting X. Jason covers.

Chriqui: And your winners, via pinfall ... ACE KING AND LAVENDER!!!

Lavender rolls into the ring and holds Ace's arm up as they celebrate their win. In the opposite corner, Jason protests about the result to the referee.

Martinez: Jason lost his focus for a brief moment and it has cost him dear here tonight.

Loydson: Exactly, as we said earlier, both teams could have one this on several occasions. Even I thought it was over after Jason Hunter hit X but Ace King had other ideas and that's how he and Lavender walk away with the win.

We cut to the X-Tron where a vignette is being played.

Liam Roy is walking down the street in Atlanta. He's smirking to himself as he walks past a submarine sandwich shop.

Roy: Ruby Clifton. You really HAVE gone insane, haven't you? I know I alluded to it the other evening, but I didn't quite see it until now. I watched your little police interrogation bit. It was comical. Especially since you, the commoner, seem to think that all police movies are 100% accurate in their depiction of how the law operates. But the funniest part about it all was you constantly calling me a cop and referring to me as a pig and pointing out the fact that I 'left' my job to become a professional wrestler.

You aren't very observant, Ms. Clifton.

For starters, I was dismissed from the Calgary Police Service, or CPS if you will. Why? That's a great question. You uphold the law in the highest regard and the crooked officers still find a way to screw it up for you. I am sure those are the types of officers that have put this sour taste in your mouth. Not me, Ms. Clifton. I am an honorable man and I make sure people pay their dividends by any means necessary.

The fact that you had literally two things to study about me - my Internet biography and one short video package - and you couldn't even get the details right shows me that you are exactly who everyone else says you are. You're a waste. I don't mess around when it comes to trash.

Your judgment day is here.

The camera fades to black and we go back to ringside.

MATCH THREE
Liam Roy VS Ruby Clifton
B.O.R.T II Round 1 Singles Match
REF: Toyo Yasahiro

---

We return to ringside and cut back to commentary. 

Martinez: It's time for our semi-final match of the night, A B.O.R.T First Round Match!

Loydson: It is Liam Roy taking on Ruby Clifton after some pointed words earlier this week. 

Chriqui: The following match is a B.O.R.T II First Round match. Introducing first from Calgary, Alberta, Canada & weighing in at 237 pounds... LIAM ROY!!!

The Reverend Meantooth version of "God's Gonna Cut You Down" begins to play. Liam Roy steps foot out from the back and slowly stalks his way to the ring. He rolls under the bottom rope and stands up to his feet. He walks over to his corner and leans against the top turnbuckle with his arms draped over the ropes as he waits.

Chriqui: And his opponent from Philadelphia, PA & weighing in at 122 pounds... RUBY CLIFTON!!!

Dark red lights begin flicker through the arena as "Thank You For Hating Me" by Citizen Soldier begins to blare over the speakers as Ruby Clifton steps out from behind the curtain with Black Velvet right beside her. The crowd isn't thrilled to see her as Ruby is grinning from ear to ear. She and Black Velvet walk down the ramp. Ruby slides into the ring and leans in one of the corners.

Martinez: This is Liam Roy's chance to show the world what he can do, that you can jump into a different career and you can make it.

Loydson: While Ruby is looking to prove herself as well. She's got a chip on her shoulder and this could be her match to take that chip and feed it to Liam by force.

DING DING DING

Liam Roy steps towards Ruby Clifton, he is looking for a shoulder/collar tie-up. Ruby raises her hand and interlocks the fingers of her left-hand with Liam, before kicking Liam in his right knee and jumping into a hurricanrana! Liam get to his feet and grabs at his tweaked knee, Ruby jumps into a dropkick to the other knee! Liam Roy lands right on his face, he rolls onto his back and groans. Ruby gets to her feet and goes for a stomp on Liam's face but Liam sits up and avoids it. Liam spins up to his feet, but winces. Ruby grabs Liam's arm and Irish-whips him towards the ropes, Ruby suddenly grabs her eye and yells out in pain. While Toyo Yasahiro is checking Ruby's eye, Black Velvet reaches into the ring and grabs Liam's feet as he rebounds off the ropes, he falls forward on his face again. Ruby rushes Liam and jumps into a dropkick to the side of his head, sending him outside of the ring. 

Martinez: Ruby Clifton is in full control of this match right now.

Loydson: Liam Roy has the height and weight advantage, but Ruby has the experience. 

Ruby exits the ring and drags Liam up by his head before smashing it into the apron. She grabs his left arm and Irish-whips him face first into the ring post. Liam is clotheslined on impact and lands hard on his back. Ruby drags Liam up to his knees, and then lands a spike-DDT onto the padded concrete. Ruby laughs at Toyo before rolling into the ring and awaiting her count out victory. FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TE... Liam Roy just barely gets back into the ring! Ruby stomps on the back of his head and then she hits the ropes and comes in for another dropkick, but Liam Roy pulls himself up and punches Ruby in the liver before she can jump. Ruby hits the ground hard and yells out in pain. Liam drags Ruby up by her face and then hits another liver shot, causing Ruby to fall forward into a elbow strike to the top of the head. Liam drags Ruby up onto his shoulders and jumps into a death valley driver! Ruby rolls out of the ring to collect herself. 

Loydson: That DVD puts Liam Roy back into the match!

Martinez: No matter how much experience you have, a liver shot will knock you out any day of the week. 

Liam Roy exits the ring and rolls Ruby back into the ring. He turns and Black Velvet is in his face yelling. Liam shoves Velvet back and climbs onto the apron, a dropkick from Ruby sends him flying down to the padded concrete! Liam pulls himself up, Ruby hits the ropes and flies towards Liam perhaps looking for a suicide dive?! Liam catches her MIDAIR slapping her in the side of the face, catching her with a brutal slap! It's PRIDE! Ruby is swatted like a fly and hits the padded concrete right in front of the steel steps. Ruby pulls herself to her hands and knees, Liam kicks her in the back of the head and sends her face into the steel steps! Liam drags Ruby up and rolls her into the ring, quickly following behind for a pin attempt.

ON... KICKOUT BY RUBY CLIFTON!!!

Ruby kicked out at one, raising her middle fingers to the camera and telling Liam to go fuck himself. Liam drags Ruby up by her hair and pulls her into a powerbomb, and then another powerbomb, and then a sit-out powerbomb! It's GREED!

ONE!

Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall and advancing in The B.O.R.T II ... LIAM ROY!!!

Liam Roy gets to his feet, he wears a stern looking on his face and glares into the hard-cam. He grabs his head and stumbles a bit as the adrenaline wears off. Liam exits the ring while Black Velvet tends to Ruby, who watches Liam go with murderous rage. 

Martinez: Liam Roy progresses in The B.O.R.T II tourney. He had to go to another level to win against Ruby here tonight, and even then it almost wasn't enough.

Loydson: Ruby's defiant kick-out at one will be something I remember for a long time to come.

A cry of “VIVA LA RAINBOWLUTION!!!” leads to ‘Party Hard’ by Andrew WK hitting the soundsystem, as the stage and ringside area becomes bathed in flashing, flickering, brightly-coloured lighting. As the main hook hits, El Pablo bursts through the curtain, playing to the fans and chugging Skittles like a Steveweiser while the X-Division Championship belt glistens around his waist.

Martinez: Well, this is a surprise! We haven’t seen El Pablo on an EWC broadcast since successfully retaining his X-Division Championship against BRAWL’s Darius at StrangleMania.

Loydson: It certainly is a surprise, and an unwelcome one at that! This is BORT time, baby - when are our supposed security team gonna stop these kids from other brands turning up and polluting our airwaves!?

Martinez: The X-Division’s a quad-brand championship, as you know, Phil; that entitles El Pablo to appear on any show of his choosing!

Loydson: Whatever; Jamie Love should be holding that belt right now, not this joker!

Unaware of Loydson’s scorn - as if he’d care anyway - EP slides under the ropes into the ring before running up the turnbuckle and holding the title belt high above his head to another pop from the adoring crowd. After offering a final salute, he hops back down to the canvas, collecting a microphone from Emmanuelle Chriqui as his music fades.

El Pablo: What’s happening, Atlanta!?

The fans inside the State Farm Arena offer the obligatory pop as EP pauses, allowing the ovation to linger for a moment.

El Pablo: I know it’s been a while since you’ve seen me. StrangleMania was a hell of a fight; there were a couple of things I had to let heal up after all of that…I mean, I dunno how to say this without it sounding weird but, uh, having stitches inside your mouth is the actual worst.

EP smirks as a delayed groan rumbles around the room, a smattering of audience members belatedly catching on to the double entendre. The Technicolour Tecnico dips a hand into his vest pocket and pulls out a packet of Skittles.

El Pablo: I do wanna say - I dunno if he’s watching right now - but, Darius? Thankyou for a hell of a fight; thankyou for what you’ve come out and said about me since that night and, from the bottom of this packet of Skittles, I wish you a speedy recovery so we can do it all again soon!

A ripple of applause speeds throughout the crowd as EP raises the Skittles packet temporarily aloft before tipping a helping of pieces into his mouth.

El Pablo: Anyway, all that said…I'd like if I may, ladies and gentlemen, to regale you with a little story.

Loydson: Please don't.

El Pablo: On October 23rd 2017, Eddie Crank was forced to vacate the EWC X-Division Championship due to injury, bringing to an end his 211-day reign with the belt. Since that date, eleven EWC superstars have attempted to hit that double century, including Undisputed Champions like Xavier Reid, Ace King, Killjoy Ito, Stitches and Luke Wolfe. Some of them have even tried twice, and yet, ultimately, all of them have fallen short. For nearly five years, the table at the top of this division has only had space for two…until now.

EP whips the X-Division belt from around his waist and raises it above his head as the crowd pops, a defiant stare emanating from behind his multicoloured mask down the lens of the hard camera.

El Pablo: Last Friday, I officially became the third person to hold this belt for two hundred days. Not only that but, by the time Uprising rolls around this coming Wednesday, I will have overtaken Eddie Crank as the second-longest reign in this title’s history! Against all the odds…despite all the doubts…El Pablo - the kid who was never supposed to make it in this business; the guy whose career was on the brink of collapse for so long after losing the Indy Championship - has finally fulfilled his promise to stand as the third pillar in the X-Division title’s Holy Trinity!

Of course, like a ten-minute chicken crown…we’re not done yet…and our sights can now - somewhat cautiously - turn to July 11th 2022: Day 287, aka the day that the Rainbowlution matches the reign of the great Harlow Kinsley.

EP pours another fistful of Skittles into his upturned palm and tosses them into his mouth.

El Pablo: Now, of course, I know that there’s a whole lot of wrestling to be done before we can even get halfway close to that…and I’m also well aware that competition within the X-Division is hotter right now than it’s ever been. With each passing show cycle, the number of X-Division matches is just getting higher and higher, as more and more people look to be the one to finally derail this Rainbowlutionary procession - and, look, that’s fine; I get that it comes with the territory, and there’s a reason that those roads up the mountain always get increasingly treacherous the closer towards the summit you continue to get - but, I want to make it clear to everybody watching…in the back or at home…that, if you do wanna be the one to try and prise this belt from between my fingers…you’d best be well aware of what you’re getting yourself into. I dragged myself through broken glass to get this belt…I fought amid walls of flame and fire to keep it…so, if any of you think I’m gonna just roll over and hand it to you without so much as a shake of a Skittles packet, you’re gonna be left with an extremely sour Taste of the Rainbow Painted across your Face.

For the last seven months, I’ve been on a mission; a quest not just for redemption but, for belonging. With StrangleMania in the rearview mirror - and with two hundred days as champion beneath this belt - I now truly feel like I can say that I belong…and I don’t plan on going anywhere, any time soon.

Viva El Campeón…Viva La Rainbowlution.

“Party Hard” returns to the soundsystem as Pablo raises the belt above his head once again, the crowd coming alive in support of their champion as the camera lingers on the ringside area for a moment before cutting elsewhere.

MATCH FOUR | MAIN EVENT
"The Love Child" Jamie Love VS Darna Dare
B.O.R.T II Round 1 Singles Match - For United States Championship - 1st Defense Of Darna Dare
REF: Toyo Yasahiro

---

We cut to commentary as the ring crew preps for the main event.

Martinez: Some sharp words from El Pablo, and now we look towards a sharp match. It is our main event! It's Jamie Love Vs Darna Dare, the United States Championship on the line! Also B.O.R.T II advancement.

Loydson: This is Darna Dare's first title defense, and it's all on the line here.

Chriqui: The following match is a B.O.R.T II First Round match for the United States Championship. Introducing first from Takayama, Japan & weighing in at 120 pounds... JAMIE LOVE!!!

The opening instrumental plays as the lights go dim leaving only the stage lit. As the lyrics start Jamie comes out and center stage with his father on his left and Maria on his right. He looks at both of the before walking down the ramp with them behind him with his father jeering at the people in the front row and Maria giving him last minute advice. When he gets into the ring he does some last minute warm ups as he waits for his opponent.

Martinez: Jamie Love successfully won a triple threat including Samantha Hamilton a few weeks ago, and now he finds himself in a tag team with Xavier Reid. Everything is looking up for this young man, and now he's got the chance to go even higher.

Loydson: If drive alone got you places, Love would be a World Champ. It's time to prove he's got the skill too.

Chriqui: And his opponent from Sugbu, Philippines & weighing in at 113 pounds. The United States Champion... DANRA DARE!!!

The lights dim across the arena, lazy coils of thick, gray smoke beginning to ooze out across the entrance-way...

Announcer: And his/her opponent, from Sugbu, Philippines, weighing in at one hundred and thirteen pounds ... she is the EWC United States Champion ... DARNA! DAAARE!!!

As the beat drops, sparks fly and a halo of fire rages into life around the top of the ramp. A figure rises into view beyond the flames, small and hooded, back to the audience. Arms corded with whip-like muscle raise to either side, and then in a sudden, explosive blur of motion, the diminutive woman rolls into a corkscrew backflip, landing in a three-point crouch facing the ring. Flipping back her hood, Darna Dare rises and strides forward in rhythm with the music, the US title bouncing against her hips, nonchalantly raising a hand to offer a fist-bump to whomever wishes to take it.

When they do, she shoots them a crooked smile, and takes off toward the ring, diving through the ropes into a tight roll, coming up balanced upon her hands, spine curved dramatically and legs extended, toes pointed in line with her determined glare. A few scuttling hand-steps are taken in this bizarre signature pose, before she thrusts her feet forward and flips to standing, rising in a distorted gymnast's salute. The beat begins to drop again, and in perfect tandem with her own figure on the screen, the flexible exorcista rips into a series of cartwheels and flips, rolling with enviable ease from one corner to another, ending her routine perched upon the turnbuckle.

A devilish grin goes out to the gathered fans, Darna points forward with both, wiry arms, and then arches back, hands reaching the canvas and assisting her in twisting to her feet already in position for a flamboyant bow to the opposing corner. Her eyes are hungry, her breathing deep and controlled as she slowly removes her championship belt for the contest ahead, handing it off to ringside before dancing into her corner, shifting her weight from foot-to-foot.

Martinez: Darna Dare has been on a hot streak since coming to Friday Night RAMPAGE. She won that United States Championship in quick order, and now he's got her first championship defense here tonight.

Loydson: If she plays her cards right and wins The B.O.R.T, she will put her name in the history books forever.

DING DING DING

The bell rings and Jamie Love reminds the world what a speedy wrestler he is by bum-rushing Darna and slamming the bottoms of his feet into her midsection with a huge flying dropkick! Darna flies over the top rope and crashes hard to the canvas. Jamie Love climbs the turnbuckle and as Darna begins to stand he launches himself into a flying spinning elbow that collides with Darna's back! Jamie quickly rushes into the ring and then he plancha's himself over the top rope onto Darna! Love drags Darna up by her hair and sends her face first into the steel steps. Jamie drags Darna up and slams her face into the bottom step three times and Darna is already busted open! Jamie pulls Darna up and goes to send her into the ring but Darna headbutts Love right between the eyes! Darna collapses backwards onto the apron, Jamie Love falls to his ass. Darna pulls herself up the apron and rolls into the ring, but she's not there for long as she steps onto the middle rope, onto the top rope, turns around and MOONSAULT INTO JAMIE LOVE ON THE OUTSIDE!

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

Martinez: We are five minutes into this match and already Darna Dare is a bloody mess and doing insane dives. This is Friday Night Rampage!

Loydson: And don't you forget it!

Darna Dare drags Jamie up to his knees and then shoves him into the ring. She climbs the apron, grabs the top rope and springs over into a quick sudden drop crossbody on Jamie's back! Darna rolls Jamie over and makes the deadweight cover.

ONE!
.
.
.
T... TOMMY LOVE PULLS TOYO FROM THE RING!

BOO BOO.

Darna pulls herself up the ropes and yells at Toyo to get back into the ring. She turns to Jamie and EATS A SPEAR! Jamie Love with the callback to Samantha Hamilton! Darna Dare yells out as her bruised ribs take the entire force of that spear. Darna falls forward to her knees, grabbing at her ribcage and dry heaving for air. Jamie Love pulls Darna into a DDT, planting her face flush against the canvas. Love covers!

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO... KICKOUT BY DARNA DARE!

Loydson: Darna Dare won't stay down, even with all the blood loss with this match approaching 10 minutes. 

Martinez: The fighting spirit of a champion!

Jamie Love mounts Darna and begins to rain down the forearm strikes. One after one, another and another. Toyo backs Jamie up, but Jamie shrugs him off and goes to Darna. Jamie drags Darna up and jumps into an enziguri, but Darna falls to her knees and ducks it! Jamie lands hard on his stomach. He bounces off canvas and pulls himself up, Darna with the BRONZE SCORPION KICK OUT OF NOWHERE to the back of Jamie Love's head! Darna gets to her feet and smiles, her face covered in blood. Jamie pulls himself up the ropes and rushes Darna, who drops into a quick basement dropkick into Jamie's knee, sending him into a front-flip and landing on his back. Darna drags Jamie up into a rear-naked choke, she then spins Love around and bites down into his forehead!!! Love shoves Darna off into the ropes, he yells in pain as blood streams down his face. While Toyo checks Jamie, Maria grabs Darna ankles and drags her out of the ring before kicking her in the face a few times. 

Martinez: WHAT WAS THAT?!

Loydson: Maria and Tommy are going to ruin this match!

Darna pulls herself up the ring apron and faces Maria, Jamie Love comes flying out and catches Darna with a suicide dive! Jamie pulls himself up the barricade and kicks Darna in her ribs over and over, Darna lets out a gasp for air and Jamie responds by kicking her in the jaw. Jamie drags Darna up by her face before slapping her and letting her free fall into the barricade. He turns to face Maria and let her know he's got it, Maria shoves him out of the way and eats a dropkick from Darna that was meant for Jamie! Jamie is quick to grab a side-headlock and drop Darna with a DDT before checking his mom.

YOU DESERVE IT... YOU EARNED THAT... HOPE IT FELT GOOD!!!

Jamie Love yells at the crowd and then he turns back to Darna. Jamie kicks Darna in the ribcage again before dragging her up and shoving her into the apron, she hits her back and is winded. Jamie follows it up with an Irish-whip into the barricade, Darna goes stomach first. Jamie grabs Darna's heel so she cannot go into the crowd and pulls her into him where he grabs a waist-lock and uses the momentum to German suplex Darna into the apron! 

Loydson: Jamie Love is showing his technical skill and laying it all into Darna's torso. Taking out the ribs, taking out the spine. If Darna cannot breath, she cannot fight and if she cannot move because of damage to her spike, she's as good as dead with Jamie. 

Martinez: Oh no! 

Jamie Love rolls Darna into the ring. They were clearly outside for more than ten seconds, but Toyo knows this one is too important to throw out... and he might not have to worry about it much longer as Love locks on The Love Lock! Darna Dare is screaming out in pain, her face is bright red. She reaches for the ropes, but her arm drops almost instantly. Her eyes glaze over. This is it, she's out. She's ou... NO! She explodes forward and grabs the bottom rope. Jamie drops the hold and Darna pulls herself up the ropes, she turns to face Jamie. Jamie rushes Darna for a clothesline and she collapses to avoid it, sending him over the top and to the padded concrete. Tommy Love helps his son up while Darna rolls onto the apron. Darna jumps into a crossbody on both! Darna Dare drags Jamie Love up, and gets him onto the apron after a few minutes of struggle. She climbs up herself and kicks off the middle rope into Jamie Love into a Leopard Cat Leap onto the steel steps!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT... HOLY FUCKING SHIT... HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Darna climbs up the ring apron and pulls herself over to Jamie Love. Darna drags Jamie by his hair off the steps and into the ring. Darna drags Jamie up by his hair and headbutts him in the jaw, Jamie falls onto his ass in the middle of the ring. Darna hits the ropes, rushes Jamie and jumps over him, bounces off the opposite ropes and then slams her knee into the back of Jamie's head with a Kalabaw Hunting Horn!!! Darna gets to her feet and yells WHOOP WHOOP, the crowd fires back their own

WHOOP WHOOP.

Darna pulls Jamie to a seated position, hits the ropes and Kalabaw Hunting Horn to Jamie's face! Cover!!!

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

DING DING DING

Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall advancing in The B.O.R.T II, and STILL United States Champion ... DARNA DARE!!!

Darna Dare is a bloody mess, Jamie Love is a bloody mess. Tommy & Maria are down on the outside. Medical staff rushes to check on each competitor while the camera cuts back to to commentary. 

Martinez: Oh my god. That was one of the most brutal United States Championship title defenses we have ever had on Friday Night Rampage. Darna won the battle, but has she lost the war of The B.O.R.T, has she made herself an easy target?

Loydson: Jamie Love lost here tonight, and a loss is soul crushing but to lose Darna damn near had to crush his soul, crush his soul and break his spine. I'm calling it, Jamie Love will be a champion before the end of 2022. 

Martinez: Thank you all for joining us here tonight for Friday Night Rampage. We'll see you next time!
