---------------
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.

"TOKOROZAAAWWWWAAAA JAAAAAPPPPAAAAANNNN!!!!"
The lights in the Arena dim green, soft white lights strobing behind the entrance stage. Pain's "Designed to Piss you Off" hit's the PA system with metal guitar riffs, drum beats, and well tuned basslines assaulting the senses.
Golden pyro columns explode! Stepping out onto the right side of the stage with arms extended and a bit of a spring in her step, is the red headed Ginger Ninja herself, Molly O'Hatherine. We find her decked out in black and green PVC wrestling pants, a matching sport's top top, wrestling boots, hooded black and green "Ginger Ninja" PVC vest, elbow pads, black, green, white, and blue arm tassles, and black hand and wrist tape.
She bolts down the aisle towards the ring in a high speed run. Arriving at ringside, she leaps over the apron and under the ropes to slide to the center. From there she hops up to her feet, throwing her fist into the air.
Molly pulls her vest off, whips it around in the air over her head, and tosses it through the ropes to be caught by a ring attendant. She then throws her arms out at her sides. In her hand is a microphone which she brings right to her freckled lips, instantly killing the music.
"SHOGA NINJA!!!! SHOGA NINJA!!!! SHOGA NINJA!!!"
"SHOGA NINJA!!!! SHOGA NINJA!!!! SHOGA NINJA!!!"
The chants brought a huge smile to her face and a warm feeling in her heart. They remembered her all these years later and it was touching. There's a bit moisture in her eyes as she let them go on for a moment.
Molly: Aye... I've missed ye' all soooo much! I remember when last I was in this baseball stadium, I was a bloody mess holding a Deathmatch Championship over my head. Twas ages ago and now ye' all get to see me on tha' first step of me latest adventure. I cannae' ask fer a better start.
The translator drones on, repeating what she said as best they can in Japanese. Molly waves out to them.
Molly: No no no! We'll do this proper! Atatakai omotenashi o arigatōgozaimasu. Watashi wa nan-nen mo mae ni anata ni ataeta mono o EWC ni ataeru koto o mezashite imasu!!!
(Thank you for the warm welcome. I aim to give EWC exactly what I gave all of you years ago!)
Her Japanese is amazingly flawless, considering her thick Scottish accent when speaking English. She grins as the fans cheer her on for the display of respect. She turns to look directly into the camera now, addressing the boys in the back and everyone watching at home.
Molly: And as fer that locker room back there, starin' at me on monitors, phones, and tha' like, seein' this apparent nobody on tha' screen, tha' name is Molly Hatchet, Tha' Ginger Ninja, and as I showed tha' world against tha' lowly Doug in a Barrel, me only trajectory is up. I'm comin' fer gold, glory, and a good time yeah. One by one, I'll make each and e'ery one of ye' fall until I stand before tha' awesome might of tha' best EWC has to offer! Ace King, James Keaton, and tha' man himself, Killjoy Ito!
The crowd pops insanely huge at the name of Ito being invoked, the Undisputed Champion being the biggest name in the sport today.
Molly: Aye, aim high or go tha' fuck home I say. Beat me black, blue, and bloody, break me bones, make me cry, I donnae' care because when tha' climb is done, I'll stand tall above all and heaven help anyone who tries to stop me!
Her head cocks a bit to the right as an impish grin spreads those freckled lips.
Molly: ....appearances are deceiving and if ye' look at this tiny body and think ye'll squash me like a bug, here's a hint... Better have tried and fallen to tha' might of tha' best Ginger. All me life, I've been fightin' and I'll likely die old and broken in a fightin' ring because I was born swingin' fists to survive and I'll go out tha' same. I've been everythin' in this business except THE top champion and until that honor has been achieved, only then will I know peace in this life of warfare I lead.
The Ginger Ninja turns back to the crowd.
Molly: O jikan o itadaki arigatōgozaimasu! Watashi wa kono gunshū ni saidai no keii o haratte imasu. Subete no watashi no ai!!!
(Thank you for your time. I have the greatest respect for this crowd. All my love!!!)
She tosses the microphone to a ring attendant outside. Her music hit's the P/A system and she drops and rolls out of the ring, heading straight to the back.

She tosses the microphone to a ring attendant outside. Her music hit's the P/A system and she drops and rolls out of the ring, heading straight to the back.
MATCH ONE
"Headhuntress" Aiya VS Ruby Clifton
X-Division Singles Match - 20 Minute Time Limit

"Headhuntress" Aiya VS Ruby Clifton
X-Division Singles Match - 20 Minute Time Limit
REF: Mike Michaelson
We return to ringside where the crowd is buzzing in anticipation of a stacked card.
Martinez: We're kicking things off with a taste of ultraviolence, as the visiting - and returning - Headhuntress throws down with Rampage's own Ruby Clifton, who's been conspicuous by her silence, Phil. What do you make of that?
Loydson: Ruby's a busy woman, you expect me to know her entire itinerary? The Gaijin Assassin is a violent and unpredictable force, but I'll tell you one thing. Aiya is gonna throw everything at her tonight. This one isn't about winning so much as surviving.
Chriqui: The following match is an X-Division match, with a time limit of twenty minutes. Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and weighing in at one hundred and twenty two 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. The crowd isn't thrilled to see her as Ruby is grinning from ear to ear. She walks down the ramp, slides into the ring and leans in one of the corners.
Chriqui: And her opponent, from Kyoto, Japan, and weighing in at one hundred and thirty seven pounds ... "HEADHUNTRESS" AIYA!!!
As “Killer” by JJ Lin plays over the PA system, a fog appears near the curtains. As it slowly fades away, we see the form of “Headhuntress” Aiya standing at the top of the ramp. She saunters down, entering the ring through the middle and top ropes. Aiya then leans against the ring, already looking as if she’s making a game plan in her head whilst waiting for her opponent to enter the ring.
Martinez: Ruby all by her lonesome, but she looks ready to go as always!
Loydson: 'Ready to go' is how you could describe the Headhuntress every day of the week, Martinez.
DING DING DING
Both competitors come out swinging, Ruby Clifton stepping from the ropes directly into a Shiny New Tools savate kick! Aiya is already darting forward for her own attack, but twists aside at the last instant, her cheek brushing the edge of the Gaijin Assassin's boot before she enters a spin and comes out with the SOS! Shoot on Sight! The kick twists Clifton around, sends her crashing down to the mat in a tangle of limbs, and Aiya pounces, grabbing an arm, contorting it savagely as she levers the other woman to her feet and then ties her up into a beautiful hammerlock suplex into the ropes! Clifton lands on the top rope, stunned...
And then eats shit to the outside as Aiya follows up with a flying big boot to the skull!
The crowd make their appreciation known, and the Headhuntress smirks, sketching a bow to each side of the ring before tidily vaulting the rope to land over the downed Clifton. Ruby is waiting for her, and grabs both arms, pulling her down into a headbutt! Aiya's made of tough stuff, and recoils rather than fall flat, righting herself on the barricade, only to eat a northern lariat from the risen Clifton. Ruby laughs and throws out her arms, baiting the hatred of the crowd. Gloating a little too long, she turns back into an elbow right to the TEETH!
Clifton lands on her knees, as Aiya inspects the damage - bloody lines appearing on her own skin, to which she tosses the front row a game shrug, garnering another pop as she scoops the stunned Clifton up and hits a GTS, bouncing her skull off a knee!
Martinez: Aiya is taking this match too far, there is winning and then there is trying to take your opponent out of commission!
Loydson: Aiya is a killer, and she's doing what she does best/
As if it didn't look bad enough for Ruby Clifton, Aiya is rummaging beneath the ring, pulling out a stack of chairs that she disdainfully shoves back under, opting instead to extract a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire. She tests the weight, then turns and brings it down overhead! Ruby rolls aside, eyes wide, scrambling to her feet, turning just in time to block a second swing with her forearms. Barbs bite, and blood pours, but Ruby Clifton manages to push herself forward, sandwiching Aiya between herself and the apron, shoving the 2x4 toward the face of the Headhuntess!
Aiya's having none of it. She twists out, relinquishing the weapon as she does so, catching the back of Ruby's knees with a whipcrack roundhouse kick that drops Ruby facefirst into the barbs AND the edge of the ring! There's a sickening thud as she's not only bust open, but comes away with the 2x4 attached to the skin of her face, screaming as she claws at it in a frenzy!
The Headhuntress lets her struggle to remove the torture implement, diving back beneath the ring and emerging with her signature staple gun. The crowd goes wild! Smirking, Aiya fires off a couple of test shots, then steps in and RIPS the 2x4 free from Ruby's face. Her cheek and lips are torn, blood beading thickly as the eyes flutter upward and she momentarily passes out. Aiya pulls her up by a handful of hair, waits for her to stir, then IMMEDIATELY slams two staples into her forehead.
Clifton is quite literally frothing at the mouth, her scream of pain uncomfortably silent; she works her jaw but no sound emerges. Aiya looks impressed at her own handiwork, and pauses to posture a little to the crowd. They oblige her with their adoration, but it gives Clifton a second to recover, tear her hair free, and find her feet in front of the Headhuntress. "Is that all you've got?!" Snarls Ruby, and Aiya shakes her head, stepping forward--
--right into the toe of Clifton's boot. She follows up with an elbow to the top of the skull, then shoves Aiya back and hits her with a fish hook neckbreaker, planting her to the outside! Getting to her knees, Ruby starts to throw down punches and elbows, trying to keep Aiya grounded!
Loydson: Ruby still has some fight left in her, but how much I have to ask?
Martinez: Ruby is a bloody mess, and this one could end very soon.
Ruby's a mess, blood liberally pouring down her face from multiple unpleasant wounds. Aiya eats a deal of punishment as she's kept pinned down by the sheer, bloody-minded fury of the Gaijin Assassin, but with a crimson flood pouring into her eyes, Ruby is forced to relent if only to wipe it away, and it's apparent that her skin is quickly turning white from blood loss. The Headhuntress seizes the opening, slamming her foot up to drive a kick between the eyes, spinning around onto all fours, then spearing Clifton to the mat! Now in mount herself, she throws out her hand, seizes the wire-wrapped 2x4, and brings it overhead in both hands. Once, twice, thrice, she brings it down and leaves it there on the third, grinding the ripping hooks into Clifton's already-ravaged face, before pulling the bundle away and moving to stand.
Astonishingly, Clifton fights back to her feet, and Aiya looks genuinely approving, briefly bringing her hands together in applause. This just makes the crowd rally all the more behind her, and Ruby's attempt to fire back is immediately stuffed, the Headhuntress moving smooth like butter as she goes beneath, hooks Clifton by an arm, and slams her bodily into the apron. She follows up with a headbutt, then rolls Ruby back into the ring before hopping up onto the apron for a breather.
Aiya can take all the time she needs. Ruby looks out of it, only the slight, defiant clawing of one hand betraying her instinct to keep fighting. The Headhuntress looks over her shouder, sighs, and stands before ducking through the ropes, pawing at Clifton with a few kicks as she paces around her, working out how best to put her away. Ruby grabs onto her opponent's ankle, then starts to climb up her body, snarling and spitting crimson-soaked phlegm as she refuses to stay the fuck down.
Aiya almost looks reluctant - almost - as she shoves Clifton onto her back, stomps on her throat, and then scoops her up over her shoulders. She takes two steps toward the middle of the ring, turns slowly, and then falls dynamically sideways; the Burning Hammer! Beat In: Japanese Style!
Aiya covers with a single boot, hands on her hips.

KICKOUT!!!
At the last possible instant Clifton throws up her shoulder, and Aiya's mouth twists in displeasure. "Really?" She repeats, shaking her head as she picks Clifton up again and tosses her against the corner post, striking her across the cheek with a scalding slap. Rolling from the ring, she retrieves the staple gun, and raises it on high - to a vibrant explosion from the crowd - before pushing Ruby's head back and going to town. KA-CHUNK! KA-CHUNK! KA-CHUNK!
Ruby is a veritable pincushion when Aiya is done, running out of staples and shaking the gun before tossing it aside with an icy smirk. Releasing Clifton's head, she watches as the other woman slumps forward and keeps slumping, landing in a ruined pile on the canvas. Gesturing in frustration to Mike Michaelson, the Headhuntress drags her devastated foe into the middle of the ring and leaves her there, retreating to the opposite corner where she nonchalantly leans, gesturing once more.
Michaelson obliges, scuttling over to check if Ruby is even alive...
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via referee stoppage at 14 minutes ... "HEADHUNTRESS" AIYA!!!
Aiya actually rolls her eyes as she steps back into center-ring, pulling her arm away from Michaelson so she can raise it her damn self, looking down with a stare of damnation at the lifeless form of her opponent. She drops to a squat, and mutters something in Japanese to the wreckage of the Gaijin Assassin, before moving to take her leave as paramedics storm the ring. Ruby Clifton is pulled onto a stretcher and escorted out, as Aiya saunters toward the back.
Martinez: She did everything but literally remove Ruby Clifton's head out there, and "Headhuntress" Aiya is back in her very scary business, Phil!
Loydson: Ruby Clifton did her best to fight this, but it seemed inevitable from the start. Aiya is making a comeback, and she means to leave bodies strewn in her wake if she has to. Tonight, she had to; the Gaijin Assassin wasn't going down without a fight. And boy did she get one.
Martinez: Don't you go anywhere folks, or Aiya will come fight you too!
Camera cuts to ...
Backstage we see Jason standing there with Diana and Sara. Jason was wearing his business suit standing there glaring down at someone as the camera pan back. You see Jamie Love is standing there glaring at him also. The two then step up to each other not saying anything at first as you could feel the tension between them both growing between each other.
Jamie Love: The fuck do you want Jason?
Jamie asked the question with a glare.
Jamie Love: I have more important things I need to be taking care of at the moment.
Jason glares back over at him not liking how he was standing up to him a bit.
Jason Hunter: I could say the same about you. You need to watch your tone before I knock the shit out of you.
Little did they know someone was watching them coming into the frame was no other than Ruthless Aggression wearing a red and black pantsuit with her hair coming around her face while she got in between them both. There were some bruises on her face from the match two weeks ago.
Ruthless Aggression: I was the one that called you both here because it looks like there are a few things that need to get straightened out here between your two. Diana and Sara feel a bit in the middle because it even causes a bit of a little trouble between them. What is going on between you two!? Jamie, I know you are upset at the fact of how Jason spoke to me a few weeks ago.
Jamie was about to say something as Ruthann placed up her finger like a mother would her child as he stood there harsh. She looked over at Jason with a bit of soft sighed.
Ruthann Hunter: You are upset at the fact you feel Jamie is distancing himself from you because of the fact you fired his father and sister as your managers. Instead of acting like damn adults your two want to be walking around here and do little things outside of the ring to pissed each other off. Like how Jason fired Jamie as your fighter for The Club.
Jason glares over at him.
Jason Hunter: I did it because of the fact since we have arrived here he has been acting like he doesn't need The Club anymore. He is the one that stops coming over to The Club.
Ruthann shook her head.
Ruthann Hunter: I am very shocked about this because didn’t you try to push the opening of your new Club over in California to build the fight club around him there to make him the star of the Club. So he doesn't get tired too much of going back and forth when there are shows here in the States.
Jamie didn’t know that as Jason looked over at him running a hand over his head.
Jason Hunter: I did.
Jamie looked over at him shaking his head.
Jamie Love: No, Mrs. Hunter out of due respect here. I don’t believe that shit! Jason only cares about himself. After how he placed his hands on Sara during our match a few weeks ago. Plus, we all know how jealous he is of me. He is jealous of the fact of how HIS father before he passed away gave me the praise he always wanted to hear from him! I am one of the best!
Jason's head turns sharply once Jamie mentions his father after he says that Jason couldn’t take it anymore. He went right after Jamie over his mother as the two started to brawl in the back. Ruthann starts to pull them both apart as they both at the same time hit her right in the face as they stop and stay back as Ruthann stood there shaking the cobwebs as she hard chopped across the chest of Jason. It was so loud that Jason held his chest hard while Jamie pointed at him laughing but she then did the same to Jamie. It was just as hard as both of them stood up to her as she placed her chest against them with a nod with a bit of a smirk.
Ruthann Hunter: It seems I have to teach you both a damn lesson in respect for each other. Jamie next week you pick whatever match you want to face me in. You and I will dance and Jason DO NOT think you out of this ass kicking either. You and I will face each other. I have to talk to Duggan as to when this can happen since you are in G1! So gentleman, you both get ready because it is time to MAKE THE BLOOD FLOW!
Jason rubs his chest as Jamie did the same thing as they both glare at each other as the camera pan away from them.
The camera cuts backstage inside the Belluna Dome as ‘The Prodigal Son’ Buddy Love and the EWC Undisputed Champion Killjoy Ito are walking backstage towards the gorilla position. They are seen by Rampage’s Brian Spade, who waves the pair down. Buddy greets him like a long lost friend.
Love: Brian my friend, how the heck are you? Family good? It’s been like a hot second since we saw you last, what’s the good word my friend?
Brian looks at Buddy a bit odd and not sure how to address the series of questions but shrugs at Buddy
Spade: The family is good, my mom had a bit of a cough but it was just allergies…wait a second, we have never…
Brian points between the two men to say, we don’t know each other in this manner but Buddy waves his hand at him, dismissing the fact that they are strangers
Love: Oh Brian, there’s that sense of humor that I love so much…
Buddy walks over and puts his arm around him like an old friend
Love: I’m glad to hear your mom’s cough was nothing serious, so what can we do for you pal?
Killjoy just shakes his head at his manager and walks over to the walk, places his hands on it and starts to stretch
Spade: Well, tonight you return to Rampage in a X-Division showcase match against the newly crowded International Champion King Flip and your fellow Love Club teammate, who just so happens to be managed by your very own father and is Killjoy’s former manager, I’m of course talking about Jamie Love…
Buddy smiles and waves this information off as if it was nothing
Love: Yes, yes…my father will be ringside tonight and in my half brother’s corner but it’s no biggie, it’s been what…
Buddy looks over at Killjoy, who stands up and holds up two fingers and after a slight pause he holds up half of a third finger
Love: Two and a half years since my father managed Killjoy and I can honestly say he’s a different man now, heck look at all the success we have had as a team…a two time X-Division Champion, a third of a Rumble win, we were in the Main Event of WrestleFest and StrangleMania…we won the Undisputed Championship and made history as the second man to defend it at least twice since 2018…I mean I dare say we are KILLING IT and sure, my father has had his success but that was with Xavier Reid and Samantha Hamilton is I’m again being honest…now I’m one of Jamie’s biggest fans and I really am rooting for him to succeed but having my father in his corner hasn’t helped him much so I am not worried about our ‘old man’ being much of a factor tonight…unless he decides to drop his pants to try and distract King Flip…yeah that’s a good idea…
Buddy pulls out a little notebook and writes down: Pull down pants to distract King Flip…or maybe even Melody Malone but Killjoy reaches out and smacks him. He shakes his head no and Buddy nods, putting the little notebook back in his pocket
Love: Fine, it was just an idea…Brian and I are just spit-balling here…
Spade: Please leave me out of any and all Love ideas…anyways King Flip had some harsh words directed towards you…
But Buddy dismisses this with a wave of his hand
Love: Oh Flippy, it seems mean old Buddy hurt his feelings a bit when I called him an ‘up and comer’, who knew the guy was so sensitive right?
Buddy shrugs his shoulders
Love: I mean sure, when we kicked off the season I didn’t see him as a contender and why would I, right? The guy was fresh off a WrestleFest loss and if I’m being totally honest here two losses to Queen Melody Malone this season doesn’t help his case but I KNOW, he has more wins that both Killjoy and Jamie Love, I mean awesome right…
Buddy gives the camera two thumbs up
Love: I get it, you’re proud of that 7-3 record you have this season, I guess we’ll just have to SETTLE for our 5 wins this season, our TWO Undisputed Championship defenses and our FOUR MVP’s…which is the same as you, so I guess that’s cool but I mean, I don’t want to brag but two of ours were PPV MVP’s…
Buddy smiles
Love: I kid, I kid…I know I shouldn’t, with your ego being so fragile and all but come on man, you are the guy that likes poop humor, you’re the guy that put kangaroo poo in my father’s jacket and then what, get butt hurt because I don’t think highly of you…me Buddy Love, I’m kind of shocked you care what I think but I guess I matter more to you than you do to us…
Buddy shugs, a bit shocked by it all but still
Love: Flippy seems grumpy and maybe that’s due to the time difference, jet lag is no fun I get that but chin up kid, you’re the new International Champion…it’s just a shame you’re running into the buzzsaw that is the Undisputed Champion…
Buddy looks at Killjoy and smiles
Love: Though I did find it pretty fun that you think WE are arrogant, if that’s not the pot calling the kettle black am I right…
Buddy holds up to his hand for Brian to give him a high five…Brian doesn’t do so right away but Buddy points to his hand and Brian gives in and high fives Buddy
Love: Tonight we kick off the Japan Tour in a X-Division Triple Threat and…
But Buddy pauses for a moment as ‘The Headhuntress’ Aiya comes walking back through the curtain, he smiles at her and gives her a polite golf clap for her win over Ruby Clifton as Killjoy pushes off the wall and watches as his manager extends his hand towards their Prime #097 opponent
Love: Congratulations Aiya, job well done…
Aiya brushes a few crimson strands away from her eyes. This allows her to see - and hear - both Buddy and Killjoy Ito, whom she happened to be walking by. She stares, looking clearly hesitant at the gesture from Buddy … but decides to be the better person and accepts the handshake, flashing a coy grin as she politely nods.
“Headhuntress” Aiya: I mean … was there really any other outcome? That fight was a no-brainer, and everyone here knew that. But … thank you all the same.
Love: Well it’s never easy coming off a break or in this case an extended break, ring rust in all but Killjoy never doubted you for a second…
Buddy looks over at Killjoy with a smile and he nods at Aiya
Love: He told me about your time at The Club, you two overlapping a couple of years and all…he said you would tear right through Ruby so congratulations on the comeback win and we are glad to see that you’re not too banged up from tonight’s match…I know you won’t be at 100% but…
Buddy looks Aiya over
Love: I’d say you look a solid 90%
Buddy gives Aiya a thumbs up.
Aiya grins at Buddy’s response and begins to take a step towards her locker room. Before Aiya walks away Killjoy steps in front of her to block her way, he nods and extends his fist toward his fellow Club member as a show of respect for her win here tonight, Aiya looks at it for a second and extends her own fist out as well. The crowd pops at the display as opposed to witnessing dishonorable act such as an ambush.
The camera fades/we return to …
MATCH TWO
Jamie Love VS King Flip VS Killjoy Ito
X-Division Triple Threat - 30 Minute Time Limit
REF: Pierce Patterson
We return to ringside where Chriqui stands in the center of the ring ready to announce the next contest.
Martinez: A heated exchange between Jamie Love & Jason Hunter, and interesting conversation with Ito & Aiya... and we have a match set for next Rampage! But now, we've got a match set for this Rampage that will be just as headed with Jamie.
Loydson: Jamie facing the Undisputed Champion, and the International Champion. Two champions, no rules. This will be an uphill battle.
Chriqui: The following match is triple threat X-Division match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by his managers 'The Memphis Mouthpiece' Tommy Love and Maria, from Takayama, Japan, & weighing in at 120 pounds... JAMIIIE LOVE!!!
The opening instrumental of 'Never Die' by All Good Things 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.
Chriqui: And his opponent from the land of money and fame, & weighing in at 220 pounds... he is your International Champion... KIIING FLIP!!!
K I N G F L I P zooms from right to left across the X-Tron and is followed swiftly by a explosion of gold pyrotechnics. 'Machinegun' begins to play as the man in the hooded vest, head low, emerges from the curtain. He gets to the edge of the rampway when he lifts his hood to reveal that arrogant half smile, then rips the vest buckles open to reveal the International Championship across his waist. The lyrics chime in as he walks slowly down the ramp with his eyes locked in on the ring. He unclasps the belt before he slides into the ring. He raises the championship in the air, taunting Tommy Love for a moment before taking to the turnbuckle for a pose. He hops off, hands the belt to a stage hand, and turns to the stage ready for the action to start as his theme fades.
Chriqui: And their opponent, accompanied to the ring by 'The Prodigal Son' Buddy Love, from Daly City, California, & weighing in at 235 pounds... he is Extreme Wrestling Corporation's UNDISPUTED champion... KIIILLJOOOY ITOOO!!!
'The Prodigal Son' Buddy Love walks out onto the stage and raises his arms into the air as the lights fade out. He jumps up and down as 'Deeper Deeper' begins to play. A strobe light circles around the stage as a single white spotlight hits the stage where Killjoy Ito is standing, his back facing the ring, his arms stretched out and his head down. He swings around to face the ring as Buddy Love runs up and stands next to him. After a quick word the pair start to walk towards the ring, Buddy runs ahead and charges up the steps and holds open the ropes for Killjoy to step through. Killjoy walks to the center of the ring, extends his arms and tilts his head back to soak everything in.
Martinez: An Undisputed Champion, an International Champion and a Rampage main stray walk into a bar.
Loydson: And only one leave alive.
DING DING DING
Before Buddy can get off the ropes, Flip rushes into a hip check that sends the young Love slamming into the thinly-padded concrete hard. Flip grabs the ropes as he descends to the canvas and rolls out of the ring before Ito and Jamie can do anything about it. Killjoy is looking for some retribution as he realized what's going on but little Jamie executes a vicious basement dropkick to the knees. Ito slams face first in the ring. The Love Bug capitalizes with a backside headlock, wrenching on the champion's dome. The King doesn't seem finished with Buddy, taking his face and slamming it into the concrete over and over again. Tommy Love comes over and gets shoved hard into the steel steps by Flip. Then Maria trounces over and Flip stops himself from shoving her as well. He says something to Maria before sliding into the ring.
Jamie, in the meantime, has been cranking this headlock even with the Undisputed champion getting to his feet. Jamie hops onto the back of the champion just as Flip slides into the ring. Ito weaponizes Jamie by way of snapmare, sending Jamie splashing into Flip as he stands. Ito stumbles for a second as the blood rushes from his head but grapples Flip regardless. He lifts the new champion up into a suplex that transitions into a neckbreaker over the knee. Flip flails about wildly, clutching his neck. Jamie has rolled to his feet and stalks Ito. He catches the champion off guard with The Love Lock! Ito is writhing around as Jamie takes him off his feet. He's trying not to get locked into the submission, flailing his arms about, but Jamie gets Ito onto his chest and locks in the submission finisher. Flip, still holding his neck after a few moments of Jamie's submission being locked in on Ito, sees his opening. He grabs Ito by the chest as he sits on his back. It's the KNEEL submission!
Martinez: This match could end right here, the Undisputed Champion might tap out.
Loydson: What a victory that would be for King Flip!
Jamie realizes what's happening and hits a wicked back elbow to the back of Flip's head. Ito's face hits the canvas as Flip stumbles off of him. Jamie drops Ito's legs and goes after the International champion. He boots Flip into the seated position in the corner. Tommy Love is yelling something as he slides a steel chair into the ring, holding the back of his head and motioning for Jamie to use the chair as medical personnel still check on Buddy Love. Killjoy Ito is just starting to get it together in the corner opposite the action as Jamie takes his father's advice. He grabs the chair and fastens it over Flip's face between the top and middle rope. He gets a running start around the ring looking for a dropkick when Ito catches him from behind with a bridging tiger suplex.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
NO!
Love kicks out in the nick of time. Ito wastes little time, seeing the condition of his manager and turning his attention to Flip after tossing the Love Bug over the top rope. Killjoy makes his way to the corner and Flip springs to life. The King grabs the chair and tosses it up to Ito before going for a spinning roundhouse kick. Ito scouts the maneuver and rolls under the boot with chair in hand. Flip spins around and catches the chair as Ito tosses it up. KUSHU! Ito nails Flip with his signature springboard forearm smash causing the King to crumple to the canvas. Ito shakes the pain from his forearm connecting with the chair before lifting both of Flip's legs up.
ONE!
.
.
Jamie Love gets himself onto the ring apron and takes to the sky.
TWO!!
.
.
NO!
Jamie Love breaks the pin count with a springboard planca.
Loydson: Jamie Love saves this match, keeps himself alive.
Martinez: That's smart thinking for the Rampage rookie.
Flip rolls out of the ring and drops to one knee on the thinly-padded concrete. Jamie Love and Killjoy Ito slowly rise to their feet inside the ring. Jamie rushes Ito, who drops to the canvas, and JL hops over Ito lying flat. Killjoy gets up and ducks down as Love hits the ropes and leapfrogs over the champion. Love hits the ropes opposite and runs right into a stiff dropkick from Killjoy. The champion picks up the discarded steel chair and stalks his opponent. Meanwhile, Flip has pulled up and set up a folding table against the guardrail before pulling out a trash can lid and a kendo stick. Tommy Love comes rushing at him and gets a monkey toss right through the table for his efforts. Maria rushes over to a knocked out Tommy, yelling at Flip as he slides into the ring.
CRACK! Ito nails Jamie in the back with the chair as Flip stands up wielding his weapons like some weird medieval fighter banging the stick against the can lid in a sort of challenge to Ito. CRACK! Ito slams the chair into Jamie's back again, sending him rolling out of the way as these two champions stand up against one another. Ito and Flip begin circling around the ring with neither giving the other an opening. Jamie grabs at Ito's ankle on the second circle around, but Killjoy just throws the chair into Flip's face as he rushes forward. Ito stomps on Jamie's hand as Flip stumbles back dropping the kendo stick. Killjoy bounds forward at the International champion. THWACK! Flip swings wildly with the trash can lid, completely bending it over the face and chest of his opponent. He drops it and goes for the kendo stick. Flip swings wildly with the stick but Ito ducks underneath. Tobidashi Naifu! Twisted signature DDT on the King, but Jamie is stumbling to one knee. KETTEI-DA! Running knee to the face of Jamie! Ito pins the Love Bug!
ONE!

DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall over Jamie Love in 23:57 ... KILLJOY ITO!!!
The Undisputed Champion gets to his feet and raises his hand to a thunderous applause from the Japanese faithful. King Flip rolls out of the ring and is handed his title. He glares at Ito, then glares at Love and shakes his head. Appears he says "If only that little shit kicked out", but that's just a guess. Jamie Love is helped up by medical staff and escorted to the back.
Martinez: Killjoy Ito comes to Rampage in Japan, and he gets the giant victory. That's the Undisputed Champion for you.
Loydson: Take nothing away from King Flip or Jamie Love. They are good, they almost had the Undisputed Champion a few times in this one. But Ito on this run, in Japan? He's just unstoppable.
Martinez: Well said Phil, and if you go anywhere during this break you won't be able to stop us from tracking you down!
Camera cuts to ...
We open up backstage where we see Karver, tonight's challenger for the HBO Broadcast Championship, sitting on the locker room floor with his back against the wall. As he tapes up his wrists, keeping his face hidden with the hood of his grey hoodie, his manager Royce Foxx is pacing around back and fourth, biting his nails in excitement.
Royce Foxx: This is it bucko, your first taste of the big time! Tonight, you've got the chance of a life time. Men and women would kill for the opportunity in front of you tonight. You thought Lavender was big time, you thought Phoenix Winterborn was big time, and you were wrong. THIS is where you're gonna etch your name in the history books of this company, by taking Ace King to the limit!
Karver simply nods, making sure his wrist tape is resiliant as he smacks it a few times. Foxx looks to his client with a pointed finger.
Royce Foxx: Remember what's at stake here for you too though. I don't wanna be embarrassed. I expect the best damn wrestling I can get outta you out there tonight. Ace talked a lot of shit about you, he talked a lot of shit about me, and now's your chance to shut him up and send him packing back to whatever hole he crawled out of. I don't care if he's a former World Champ, I don't care if he's THE champ, NO ONE compares Royce Foxx to a car salesman! You're fighting for my honor, and yours! You didn't get the shit kicked out of you for nothing, you did it to get better. If you're willing to go through weeks of hell, weeks of practically being beaten to death, then there isn't a single FUCKING thing he can do to put you down! YOU HEAR ME?
Karver looks up at Foxx with an emotionless expression as he stands up. Foxx pokes Karver in the chest twice.
Royce Foxx: BEAT, THIS, FUCKERS, ASS! YOU GOT THAT?!
Karver scoffs. He spits to the side and turns his back to Foxx, walking out of the room. Foxx readjusts his glasses and follows him.
Royce foxx: Yea, that's the spirit! Let's win us a title!
The camera fades elsewhere as Foxx sets the stakes for tonight high.
MATCH THREE
Queen Melody Malone VS Darna Dare
Special Singles Match - Non Title - 60 Minute Time Limit
REF: Mike Michaelson
We return to ringside where Mike Michaelson stands ready.
Martinez: From the chaos of the X-Division to the first ever special singles match! We're looking at a sixty minute time limit, as US Champion Darna Dare goes head-to-regal-head with Queen Melody Malone. Both women have spat fire in the lead-up to this one, Loydson, and both have BIG matches ahead of them. Dare looks to make a statement heading into her round two B.O.R.T. match against Lavender, and Malone... well, Malone's got Killjoy Ito and the Undisputed title in her sights!
Loydson: You know it. The Queen called it herself; if she loses this, she loses everything. She's not lost once this season, and this next match could be the biggest of her illustrious career. She's got Ito in her sights, but she needs to keep her focus here. Darna Dare ain't here to play.
Chriqui: The following match is a special singles match, with a sixty minute time limit. Introducing first, from San Diego, California and weighing in at one hundred and forty five pounds... she is the QUEEN of the EWC ... MELODY MALONE!!!
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.
Chriqui: And her opponent, from Sugbu, Philippines, weighing in at one hundred and thirteen pounds ... she is the EWC United States Champion ... DARNA DARE!!!
Darna emerges amidst coils of thick, gray smoke, her hood raised and gaze trained upon the ring. One hand is hooked into the corner of the US Championship, which hangs crooked across her waist. Bold steps carry her into a dive through the ropes, where she rolls and comes up balanced on 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, then a flamboyant bow to the crowd; a devilish grin gracing her lips. The title gleams as she removes it, still staring into the audience, and hands it off to a hooded, masked assistant on the outside of the ring.
Martinez: Melody Malone, confident as always, but I think you're right, Phil, she's got a lot on the line here. She's not taken her eyes off Darna Dare. This is intense!
Loydson: And Dare knows it. She's got everything to prove but nothing to lose.
DING DING DING
Melody hasn't stopped glaring during the champion's entrance, and she's out of the gate immediately as the bell rings, slamming a knee into Darna's midsection and then popping up to launch her with a jumping snapmare! Despite appearing momentarily off-guard, the United States champion is grinning breathlessly as she rolls through the momentum, and comes up running, hitting the ropes and crossing the ring in a FLASH, diminutive form launching with a fierce immediacy into the Kalabaw Hunting Horn! Her knee flares beneath the arena lights--
--and Malone blocks it, sliding back wagging a finger in admonishment and doing her best to conceal her stunned expression. That was painfully, awfully close. The crowd explode on mere principle, as the Queen steps into a superkick, driving her heel beneath Dare's chin as she lands. The US champion contorts beautifully, coiling around the striking limb, eating the brunt of the blow but clinging on like a drug-addled limpet as she brings her teeth into play, gnawing on Malone's leg!
They both go down, Melody with an expression of utter disgust that overrides the pain. Her other leg twists and delivers one, two, three savage stomps to the skull, and Darna is forced to release! She scrabbles at the mat, trying to stand, as Malone does the same. Their bodies still tangled, each almost stumbles, but then they whirl to their feet, spinning on one another, skulls colliding as the Pinoy steps right into a headbutt! Malone goes down...
But falls with intent, twisting to catch Darna with a scissor-leg takedown, seizing a leg as she topples forward, struggling to lock in the Queen's Grace! The champion is in trouble!
Martinez: Melody Malone might make one hell of a statement!
Loydson: She's a moment maker!
She was an Olympian for a reason, and Darna manages to post up and twist her torso to alleviate much of the pressure. She hops on her free leg, as Melody snarls and seeks to adjust her grip. The opening is enough; Dare's arms ripple with whipcord muscle as she puts all her weight upon them, bending her other leg around Malone and spiking her into the mat! It looks brutal for them both; the added pressure on Darna's limb sees her writhing in pain as she wriggles free, while Melody is already pushing herself upright, shaking off the momentary cobwebs.
Malone takes her sweet time, flicking her fingers derisively at the crowd as they turn against her. Wearing a cold, calculating little smirk, she measures Darna as the other woman stands, now putting most of her weight on the un-stretched leg. With a propulsive lunge, Melody drives her down again with the Royal Treatment, planting Dare face-first! Grabbing a vicious handful of hair, the Queen flips her opponent over and makes the cover.
ONE
.
.
.
TWO
.
KICKOUT!
Darna doesn't just power out, but goes straight to her feet, stumbling and shaking. Malone looks annoyed, and goes to seize her immediately in a headlock; but Dare slips out, rolls between her legs, and pops up into a single-leg dropkick that drives the Queen back into the corner! Adrenaline is practically pouring from the US Champion, as she does a half-lap of the ring and sprints into a flying forearm that drops her regal foe! Far from done, she screams as she continues her assault, wailing away with knees and smashing forearms, treating Malone like a stubborn piñata.
"DARNA'S GONNA KILL YOU!"
The crowd are into it, as Dare collapses atop Malone, panting and - in spite of everything - still grinning like she's in some kind of delirious fever dream. Unfortunately, she's not, and after a couple of restful seconds she's SHOVED back across the ring, skidding as she tries to stay upright. Melody is bright red, sweating, and absolutely furious with this turn of events as she comes on like a bullet train, grabbing the off-kilter Filipino and pulling her face-first into her knees! Crowning Achievement! Darna is bust open, but as Malone goes for the cover, she's flipped over, their positions reversed as Dare slides into mount, eyes bright as she rains down blows!
Melody tries to pull her down, but Darna accepts it and traps the Queen's arms, spreading her legs apart and DRAGGING the larger woman upright in a sheer show of force. Keeping Malone tight against her, she convulses into a series of nasty headbutts, before arching her back with a monstrous belly-to-belly suplex that causes her to emit another scream! Mindoro Crocodile Trap! Malone is launched, twisting to go beneath the bottom rope...
When she straightens up on the outside, she's groggy and bearing signs of color herself; whether it's Darna's blood or her own, they're both adorned in crimson. Dare is waiting to meet her stare, cross-legged inside the ring, deep breaths causing her chest to rise and fall as she stares down the Queen.
Loydson: This. Is. Awesome.
Martinez: I must agree with your assessment.
The Queen is not inclined to let Darna keep the ring, and comes sliding under the bottom rope before the count of two. Her opponent lets out a loose little laugh, and handsprings right out of her seated position, vaulting clean through the middle rope to land catlike on the other side. It's smooth as hell; Malone doesn't even realize she's been had until she's back on her feet, where her eyes go momentarily wide. Dare is already sprinting across the outside, baseball sliding beneath Rory Hyland's legs, evading his ready clutches as she pops up onto the barricade and launches into another Kalabaw Hunting Horn!
There's nothing Malone can do about it. Rory eats the full impact of that flying knee, his nose shattering on impact, a fountain of blood spraying as he's flung into the apron. He stays upright, but this only gives the recovering Darna the opening to follow up, seizing his head with one arm and dropping him VIOLENTLY, neckfirst, across the edge of the ring.
It's no mean feat; Hyland is a big, powerful man, and Darna is gasping as she pops to her feet, her head spinning from the effort of dropping the giant. Melody Malone isn't exactly known for her kindly temperament, but she is enraged, all grace and style flying from the proverbial window as she flings herself through the middle rope like a cruise missile, hitting Darna right in the midsection and holding on as she plows her against the barricade! She straightens up already throwing hands, closed fists smashing into the cheek, nose, eye-socket, whatever she can reach as she completely loses her mind, screaming with each searing blow to the US Champion.
Mike Michaelson looks uncomfortable as he continues his count. Darna fights back, bruised and bloody, the beginnings of a hematoma already visible as she closes her teeth on Melody's fist, biting down on her knuckles, driving a knee between the legs, slamming her to the ground beneath her own falling weight. They roll across the outside, each coming out on top for a spell of strikes as the count steadily creeps higher. Darna doesn't seem to even care, but Malone hears the count of eight and snaps out of her rage, a flare of panic as she steps out of mount and hurls herself at the apron--
--only to have her leg caught! There's actual desperation in the Queen's face as she twists, gets her other leg up, hits Darna with an enziguri and makes it under the ropes...
Just in time for the count of ten.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via count-out at 56:47 ... MELODY MALONE!!!
Malone looks anxious as her arm is raised, pulling it away hurriedly as she looks toward Rory on the outside of the ring. Dare is nowhere to be seen, and Melody staggers toward the ropes, preparing to duck through them when the US Champion slides out from under the ring, a twisted little grin on her lips as she stands over Rory with a folded chair in hand, looking back up at the Queen. There's a tense moment, before Dare turns and lunges for Malone instead, swinging the chair at her through the ropes. The Queen of EWC darts back, and whirls toward the corner, bounding onto the top rope like it were nothing, barely balancing before she launches herself in a front flip to the outside - catching Darna on the way down with the Royal Proclamation!
Dare crashes down on top of her own weapon, the DDT leaving her in a tangled, blood-soaked mess on the ground as Melody dives toward Rory, and helps the big man up, jacking her jaw furiously at the United States Champion as she moves to leave, the crowd ringing in her ears.
Martinez: Dios Mío! That broke down into chaos at the end, but Queen Melody did more or less what she said she would do; hit the Royal Proclamation and leave Darna Dare staring up at her. Message sent! Killjoy Ito definitely heard it, but did he understand, I wonder?
Loydson: Don't get me wrong, Martinez; Malone's the best, but both of them delivered a message here. Our US Champ almost embarrassed the Queen in front of the world tonight, and she did some serious damage to her boytoy. For the first time in a long time, we just saw a crack appear in Melody Malone. Dare took a risk that didn't quite pay off, and Malone wins at what cost?
Martinez: Both these women are going to be exhausted after almost an hour of wrestling, and if you don't return after this commercial break... you'll sleep forever.
Camera cuts to ...
The rapturous applause of the fans watching Friday Night Rampage echoes throughout the building, even down into the bowels of the stadium, where very few people are lingering. An occasional crack can be heard, and in looking around the corner, HBO Broadcast Champion Ace King is seen taking a few swings in a batting cage from a pitching machine, his precious gold sitting atop the control board.
Ace steps into the batter’s box and takes a swing, just fouling it off; as he goes to dig in again, he sighs as he sees Rampage interviewer Brian Spade standing on the other side.
Brian Spade: I didn’t know you were a baseball guy, Ace.
Clearly wanting no part of the small talk, Ace hits a button to shut down the pitching machine from a distance, then turns to the interviewer.
Ace King: Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be in a cage with me, Brian?
Brian Spade: W-well, sure, but I don’t think-
Ace simply shakes his head and beckons him inside; cautiously, the Rampage interviewer opens the door and steps inside, keeping a safe distance as Ace starts up the pitching machine again before stepping into the batter’s box.
Ace King: You can relax, there’s no need for you to ask the question we both know is coming in terms of my thoughts on tonight’s stipulations, which I think I made fairly clear.
Brian Spade: Right, then.
Ace King: This business has a way of throwing curveballs at the strangest times, right?
‘The Gambler’ pauses, then locks in on a curveball coming out of the pitching machine, taking a swing and making decent contact on it, but not fully catching it.
Ace King: The ones who can adapt are the ones who find success here, or in any walk of life. Some might say I overreacted to what the stakes are for me tonight, and to an extent there’s probably some truth to what they’re saying… But by the same token, it’s also true that I’m still very much in control of my own destiny.
Ace takes a breath and is slightly behind the next curveball, as it slices off his bat and to the right side of the cage.
Ace King: I’m not sure if the bit pertaining to what happens at Scars and Stripes if I happen to lose along the way is meant to put pressure on me or what, but all I know is to try and win, regardless of the situation I’m put into. I sure as hell didn’t declare my intent to enter the Best of Rampage Tournament to just be a participant, or to just throw away an opportunity. They say pressure makes diamonds, so who better than one half of the Diamond Dogs to come out on the other side despite the odds?
This time, perhaps with a bit more adrenaline, Ace is out in front of the pitch, pulling it to the left side of the cage as Spade watches on, microphone still in hand.
Ace King: Honestly? I know there are a lot of people who’d love to take a swing at me in EWC, so let ‘em. Karver’s certainly going to try in the middle of the ring tonight, but if you wanna come for this King, you’d best… Not… Miss…
The HBO Broadcast Champion locks in one more time as the ball comes at him, squaring the ball up perfectly and driving it straight to the back of the cage. As the ball drops to the ground, Ace casually flips the bat away, then picks up his HBO Broadcast Championship and makes his way out of the cage.

We return to ringside where Peirce Patterson and Emmanuelle Chriqui are standing in the ring, ready for some high octane action.
Martinez: Fans, I think it’s about time to grab a snack and stay glued to your screens, because up next is a possible barn-burner! Ace King makes his first defense of the HBO Broadcast Championship against none other than KARVER!
Loydson: It’s not just his title on the line Martinez, it’s his spot in the B.O.R.T. tournament!
Chriqui: The following match is a singles match with a sixty minute time limit, and it is for THE HBO BROADCAST CHAMPIONSHIP! Should Ace King lose, he will not only lose the title, but his spot in The Best Of Rampage Tournament!
"The Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash fills the arena's speakers, bellowing Cash's guilty-sounding vocals into the ears of the fans. The feeling in the air is a sense of pride, as Karver enters through the back with Royce Foxx following behind him. His chin is to his chest as his eyes are shut, saying a final prayer in his head before looking up to the bright lights. He points a single finger in the air, dedicating this match to the friends, family, and loved ones he's lost in his life. It's time to get to business, as he enters the ring with intent to win.
Chriqui: Introducing first, the challenger, from Hell’s Kitchen, New York, weighing in at 212 pounds… KARRRRRRRRRRRRVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
To hear his name announced to those in attendance gives him motivation, and the fan's cheers is the ammo he needs to put a bullet in the win column. He wastes no time, running the ropes and testing their durability before the match begins.
"Ace of Spades" rips through The Belluna Dome, 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 his opponent, making his way to the ring, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He is the HBO Broadcast Champion… 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 Karver.
Martinez: Tonight is possibly the biggest night in Karver’s entire career. He’s faced some of RAMPAGE’s best, but now? He’s about to face the man who defines what RAMPAGE is all about! Ace King isn’t going to go down lightly though!
Loydson: We’ll see about that. Granted, I’m still not sure if I like this Karver rookie, but the guidance of Royce Foxx may just be enough for him to pick up a huge win, the HBO Broadcast Championship, AND to reinsert himself into the B.O.R.T.!
DING DING DING
Karver and Ace stare daggers into the souls of one another as they circle around the ring and lock up. They begin to trade holds, from armlocks to headlocks, before Karver sets the pace by shoving Ace into the ropes. Ace bounces off of them and connects with a stiff shoulder block that sends Karver back into the ropes, coming off them with a clothesline attempt! Ace ducks it and is quick to strike Karver in the back with the point of his elbow. It stuns Karver for a moment, leaving him wide open to some shoot kicks to the legs, then the arms, before Ace reels back and connects with a spinning kick to the gut. He lifts Karver up high for a vertical suplex, but Karver slips behind him and slams him on the back of his neck with a high angle back suplex!
Martinez: Karver is like a completely different wrestler right now. He's fighting with everything he has to win the HBO Broadcast Championship.
Loydson: One of the most prestigious titles in wrestling today.
Ace holds his head in pain as Karver takes his foot and stomps on the back of his head. Each stomp is harder than the last. Karver has Ace up and looks for an atomic drop, but Ace decides to give him a taste of his own medicine as he flips over behind him and knocks him loopy with a roundhouse kick! Foxx is practically losing his mind on the outside as Ace lifts him up and drops him with the Eye In The Sky!
Loydson: And Ace King is showing why he aids that prestige.
Martinez: No doubt about that.
Ace gets up and calls for the finish! He walks over to a prone Karver and gets him to his feet, lifting him onto his shoulder! BLACKJACK BOMB! BUT WAIT! Karver manages to fall backwards and land on his feet, grabbing Ace’s wrist in the process! LONG ARM OF THE LAW! ACE DUCKS IT! GERMAN SUPLEX BY ACE! Karver folds like an accordion… BUT HE STANDS UP, SHOUTING WITH FIGHTING SPIRIT! It’s not enough to avoid ANOTHER roundhouse kick though! Ace lifts him up and this time connects with the BLACKJACK BOMB! He covers Karver!
ONE!

DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall in 49:57 ... AND STILLLLLL HBO BROADCAST CHAMPION, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCEEEEEEE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGG!
Ace King stands up after the bell sounds and is handed the HBO Broadcast Championship by Patterson. With a nod, Ace recognizes he’s won, looking at the broken body of Karver. Foxx on the outside puts his head down in disappointment, slamming his fist in the apron out of frustration. Ace’s hand is raised high above, as is his title.
Martinez: Talk about a match! Ace solidifies his place in The B.O.R.T. , and makes his first defense of the HBO Broadcast Championship in one hell of a match!
Loydson: We nearly saw Karver pick up the title, but the reality is that despite his training, despite what he was put through to get to this match, The Gambler came out on top! Now that Ace has tasted a win with this title, I’m sure he’ll be wanting more in the coming weeks. As for Karver, you can expect he’ll get an earful for losing such a high profile match.
Martinez: And if you change that dial, it will be a high profile murder case.
Camera cuts to ...
Backstage we see Grizzly Duggan in his office when he hears a knock at his door.
Duggan: Yea? Come in.
Pushing the door open, Phoenix Winterborn walks in, shutting it behind him..
Duggan: Phoenix Winterborn... I am a very busy man, but for you I can spare some time. How can I help you tonight?
Winterborn: (taking a seat on the other side of the desk) Probably not, but I’m gonna try anyways.
Duggan: I know that look, I've had that same look many times. You’re frustrated you lost to Ace King, I get it. To your credit, you and Ace put on one hell of a match two weeks ago. I'd call that a match of a year candidate. To your credit, I’m pretty sure you’re one of a very exclusive list to kick out of the Blackjack Bomb.
Winterborn: (rolling his eyes) To my credit? That gets me ABSOLUTELY JACK, Grizz! I’m out of the BORT, I’m now a FORMER HBO champion…are THOSE to my credit, dude? You know that the only reason I was in the Best of Rampage tournament was because of a contractual obligation as the champion. You of all people knew that putting me against Ace King of all people in the FIRST round after all I had been through the last few months was going to be a death sentence, and yet…WHAT DID YOU DO?!”
Duggan: (standing up from his desk) Phoenix…watch your tone with me…
Winterborn: No, i’m not going to “watch my tone”, Grizzly. This is crap, c’mon! The first fair shake I’ve gotten in my three years here, and it SEEMS like you just couldn’t wait to get the belt off of me, and onto your golden boy Ace! I thought we were better than that!
Duggan: Phoenix. You had better stand down. I put you into the Best of Rampage tournament because you are one of the best we have on the Rampage Roster. This year you've been right under Malone, King & Dare!
Winterborn: Excuse me? So, what you’re saying is that I’m not good enough to be your top guy. Okay, I get it. Grizzly, I’m disappointed. I really am. I have been your standard bearer since I came to EWC. Three years, I have been proudly representing Rampage. But I’m still not good enough. Gotcha.
Grizzly made his way around the desk, getting in Phoenix’s face.
Duggan: I’m giving you three seconds to stand down, and leave my office before I do something you’re going to regret a lot more than me my friend.
Winterborn: The only reason I’m not laying hands on you for stepping to me like this, is because I don’t feel like getting suspended right now.
Duggan: You touch me in any way, shape, or form? A suspension will be the least of your worries, I promise you. You can ask Gideon Gage about that one. Leave.
Winterborn: This isn’t over in the least, Grizzly. I will be back, and we will discuss this further.
Phoenix backs up, shaking his head as he turns to exit the office with Grizzly staring a hole through the back of Phoenix’s head…
MATCH FIVE
Autumn Raven VS Tanja Devereaux
Special Singles Match - B.O.R.T II First Round Match - 60 Minute Time Limit
REF: Toyo Yasahiro
We return to ringside where Martinez and Loydson both wear a look of shock on their faces.
Martinez: Uh, I am not sure what just happened with Grizzly Duggan & Phoenix Winterborn, but I hope they work that out. And speaking of working out beef.
Loydson: Autumn Raven, Tanja Deveraux. They seem to hate each other, and now they face off in B.O.R.T action!
Chriqui: The following match is a B.O.R.T II Round 1 Special Singles Match with a 60 minute time limit. Introducing first from Los Angeles, California & weighing in at 125 pounds... AUTUMN RAVEN!!!
The tron plays a scene of the hollywood walk of fame going by slowly, the shadow of a raven seen over each and every star that’s there. As you hear the lyrics ‘Your stars burned out for good, somewhere in Hollywood’, the shadow flies into the one star without a name, writing out Autumn’s name on it, the star turning to a dingy, grungy picture with graffiti written all over it.
As the first part of the song starts up, Autumn appears from backstage, slowly walking out, coming to a stop at the top of the ramp as she surveys the crowd with a cold smirk on her face. She stands there for a minute before making her way down the ramp slowly, walking once around the ring before sliding under the bottom rope and hopping to her feet, making her way to the corner to climb to the top ringpost. She flings her arms out to the side, laughing at the crowd.
Chriqui: And her opponent from NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA & weighing in at 115 pounds... 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.
Martinez: Autumn Raven a few episodes ago, she drew with Darna Dare. And now she has a chance to dub herself the Best Of Rampage.
Loydson: Tanja Deveraux has been on a wild upswing lately, winning match after match. She's on her own path to B.O.R.T.
DING DING DING
Raven and Devereaux, both two of the quickest on this Rampage roster, they explode into each other with a double clothesline, taking each other out! Autumn is up to her feet first, she goes for the Claw Of The Night Superkick, but Tanja ducks the kick and pulls Autumn up onto her shoulders, Tanja jumps into a death-valley-driver. Autumn pops up after the DVD and leaps into a dropkick that sends Tanja flying into the ropes. On the rebound Autumn goes for another Claw Of The Night, but Tanja rolls through. Tanja quickly grabs Raven into a full-nelson, and then from there goes back for the Snap-Dragon! Autumn lands on her feet and as Tanja turns to face her, Autumn jumps into a flying leg lariat that takes Tanja off her feet. Autumn jumps onto the second rope and spins mid-air into a springboard leg-drop! Tanja gasps for air!
Martinez: Autumn Raven has taken control of this one following that leg-drop!
Loydson: Leg drops, they hurt like a son of a gun. Trust me, I know!
Following the leg-drop, Tanja is grasping for breath and trying to stand. Autumn comes up on her and jumps into a double-stomp on the back of Tanja's head! Broken Future! Autumn drags Tanja up and sends her into the ropes, on the rebound she catches her with the Bad Luck Hurricanrana! Autumn Raven takes off towards the corner, and she jumps up onto the top rope to springboard off into a twisting senton bomb! Autumn gets to her feet and howls at the crowd, who boo her in return. Autumn drags Tanja up by her and grabs her in a side-headlock. Autumn kicks off the middle rope looking for her trademark bulldog, but Tanja slips the grip and grabs Autumn in a full-nelson! Tanja with the dragon suplex! Autumn bounces up to her feet, grabbing her head in pain, ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM TANJA! Autumn falls deadweight against the ropes. Tanja slaps herself to get some awareness back, and then she advances Autumn. Tanja grabs Autumn's hair, pulls her into a TIGER SUPLEX! Tanja gets to her feet, but she collapses as the adrenaline dies out. Both women are down!
Loydson: Whoever gets up next, they may be the winner in this one.
Martinez: Nothing pretty about this, just an all out fight to stay in The B.O.R.T II between two evenly matched women.
Autumn gets to her feet first, she mounts Tanja and starts to slap and punch. Slap, slap, punch, punch, slap, punch, slap, punch, punch. Autumn drags Tanja up by her hair, TANJA WITH A GIANT SLAP! Autumn stumbles backwards, TANJA ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Tanja with the STO backbreaker, followed by a reverse STO! Tanja drags Autumn up by her ear, another roundhouse! Autumn falls forward into Tanja who quickly transitions into Death's Call spinning STO! Tanja goes for the cover!

Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall in 34:30 and advancing in The B.O.R.T II in 34:30 ... TANJA DEVEREAUX!!!
Tanja pulls herself up and raises both her hands in victory. She's going to the next round! Autumn Raven rolls out of the ring and shoves down the medical staff as they offer her help. Autumn glares at Tanja while she slowly backs up the ramp.
Martinez: Tanja is going to the next round of the B.O.R.T II! This year has been a big turnaround for her, and now she's got the chance to become B.O.R.T!
Loydson: Autumn Raven had control the entire match, just one slip up got Tanja the victory. I'm sure she'll watch the tape back a thousand times tonight.
Martinez: And you better watch this next commercial a thousand times, or we will find you.

Soldier - Neffex comes over the speaker Jason is up on the ramp with his back towards the crowd. His red and gold leather jacket with his hood over his head. Diana is wearing a red outfit, while Sara will always be wearing the color gold standing on each side of him.
I spit raps like a heart attack, fast fatal hard impact
Past painful scars in fact, I blast tasteful bars in packs
Sara pulls the hood off Jason's head while Diana walks down the ramp. Jason turns around on his heels with a bit of a smirk coming across his face.
I back up my actions, fact, don't ask, grab reactions, jacked
Attack with every word then act with class, as they hear me snap
Jason just grins while he plays to the fans while Sara does a little bit of a dance.
I got nothing to lose, 'cause I fought and felt the bruise
Now I'm not the one confused, call the shots and they produce
I ain't lost I'm finally loose, pick a noose over excuse
Diana is at the bottom of the ramp with her shades on her face a bit low looking around especially at the person inside of the ring she just grins walking up the stairs holding the ropes for Jason and Sara to enter the ring. Jason enters the ring and once he and Sara are in the corner of the ring he slides off his jacket with her help. She took it standing on the top of the ring on the outside. Jason fist bumps the girls as they step down and stand outside of the ring as he leans against the ropes in the corner with a serious look ready.

Martinez: Megumi wasn't the best success PRIME has ever seen, but she was one of the most over stars on the brand and now she comes to Friday Night Rampage with her unique flair.
Loydson: She's truly a delight to watch work.
DING DING DING
Jason Hunter & Megumi Sengoku step into the center of the ring. Megumi offers Jason a handshake, Jason raises his own hands for a shoulder/collar tie-up. Megumi raises her own hands, and then she jumps into a quick Hurricanrana! Megumi pulls in Jason's leg for the cover.. Jason kicks out before one. Jason gets up to his feet, Megumi gives him an open-palm slap right across the side of his face. Jason gets to his feet, stunned. Megumi jumps into a dropkick, but Jason pushes her feet out of the way. Megumi stands up, and Jason lunges into her with a headbutt to the base of her skull!
Martinez: GOOD GOD! Megumi may be out of this one already, and it's only been a few minutes!
Loydson: That's a hard shot to take to the back of your head.
Jason rolls Megumi onto her back and pulls her up into a seated position, before PKing her in the chin! Megumi grabs her face and lays flat. Jason climbs the turnbuckle and claps to the booing crowd, then he jumps into a double stomp that connects on Megumi's chest! Jason gets to his feet and shakes his finger at the crowd, he's not done. Jason takes his time to climb the turnbuckle again, and then he jumps down into Megumi's chest, but Megumi rolls out of the way! Jason grabs his left leg as the recoil goes through it. Jason turns to Megumi and sees her jump up onto the top rope and then spin to face him with a roundhouse kick to the jaw! Mousou Express! Mousou Express! Megumi falls into the corner, grabbing her head as the migraine from Jason's headbutt lingers.

Martinez: Megumi got the finisher, but can she finish it.
Megumi pulls herself up with the aid of the corner. Jason is up on his hands and knees. Megumi leaps into a dropkick into Jason's butt, sending him forward and causing him to roll out of the ring.

Megumi begins to dry heave for air, Jason falls onto his back, exhausted.
Martinez: Megumi is now fighting through a migraine, possible double vision and being winded. Jason might have this one in the bag.
Loydson: Jason has the edge currently on paper, but cumulative damage to him is just as bad. He took the finisher, and three brainbusters. He's got to be scrambled.
Megumi pulls herself up the apron and rolls back into the ring while coughing. Jason stumbles forward and rolls into the ring himself. Megumi stomps Jason in the back of the head, then forces herself into the ropes, on the rebound she goes for... SUPERKICK FROM JASON!

Jason grabs his leg and bends over enough for Megumi to land her Brazilian kick! Jason leans against the ropes to avoid falling. Jason looks up at Megumi and eats an open hand strike, followed by a pump-kick, followed by a combo of slaps, followed by a dropkick over the top rope! Megumi jumps onto the top rope and goes for another meteora, but Jason moves! Jason climbs the apron, JASON'S SCORE! JASON'S SCORE!
Loydson: OH MY, Jason may have just won this match. I think he won this match.

Jason is helped up by Toyo, he shoves Toyo off and then exits the ring. He limps to the back to a sea of boos. Megumi is helped up by medical staff, but she leaves on her own power while the crowd chants and cheers for her. She gives them a wave, a look of sadness upon her face for the loss.
Martinez: Jason Hunter advances in The B.O.R.T, this was his first Rampage main event of the year, and he proved why he earned it.
Loydson: Megumi fought tooth and nail, and if she was facing a lesser opponent she would have won this one in a heartbeat.
