COMMANDO FAN CLUB

I HOPE TYLER BRADFORD DIES

STAND UP AND WE STAND WITH YOU.

RETURN OF THE FIREBIRD!

REGINALD, I'LL JOIN THE NEW DAWN

Fireworks emit outside Wembley Stadium and then all around the ring while a fog machine covers the venue in a red, green, orange and blue haze! Fans stand up, pumping their fists and raising signs as the camera feed pans to each one of them. One last round of fireworks blast out now, and we turn our attention to Marcus Woo and Valentina Gomez.

Woo: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the nineteenth edition of the EWC RUMBLE! I'm Marcus Woo along with Valentina Gomez, here at historic Wembley Stadium where London is indeed calling us to a packed night of action culminating in our EWC Rumble main event!

Gomez: Thirty competitors will find their way into that ring tonight, Marcus .. all with one singular goal in mind .. the EWC Undisputed Championship!

Woo: That's right Valentina, we saw absolute shenanigans last year leading to THREE competitors winning the Rumble and punching their ticket to WrestleFest .. it's my understanding that all aspects of the ring have been reinforced this year, to prevent the incident leading to that outcome again this year .. especially with THE top prize in our business on the line!

Gomez: Champions, Hall of Famers, and more are all looking to take the crown from the defending champion, the Queen herself .. Melody Malone, who would love nothing more than to get a repeat of last year and win this Rumble once more! Waiting in the wings to challenge whoever comes out of the Rumble with the prize? El Pablo, our current EWC X-Division Champion, who won the right to challenge at WrestleFest by winning .. nay, SURVIVING the Insanity Cage at Night of Champions XIX!

Woo: That's right, but the Technicolor Tecnico is a busy man tonight .. defending that very EWC X-Division Championship against King Flip in a Last Man Standing Match, where the reigning EWC International Champion looks to put an end to Pablo's record-breaking title reign!

Gomez: I don't think I can stress enough just how brutal, how chaotic tonight will be, and that X-Division title match is further proof! Flip has half an eye on his own future title defense against Stitches, as well as the hunt for the EWC World Tag Team Championship alongside Dio .. but the C-H-K has to focus on E-P-F-T-W tonight or he's gonna fall short!

Woo: Rounding out the undercard on this exciting evening are a pair of matches bringing in new and returning signees to the EWC! We have on tap a triple threat as Bathsheba, Kenneth Williams, and Axel Zane face off!

Gomez: This will be an interesting clash of personalities and styles, to say the least, and I'm curious to see who comes out of this one!

Woo: And, in our opening contest, six of our newest competitors face off in what could be a thrilling ladder match .. with an opportunity to main event a show on their brand up for grabs!

Gomez: It's a curious mix here, with PARAMOUNT represented by half the field with Jack Hart, Maledetto, and Salvation .. leaving Danny Colt and Declan O' Connor to see who might take a future RAMPAGE main event, and Dean Judas looking for that rocket ship to stardom for BRAWL!

Woo: Folks, we are excited to bring you the hottest action here at EWC Rumble XIX, and we want to thank you for joining us whether it's on Pay-Per-View or on EWCTV!

As if on cue, the feed then switches to an ad for EWCTV.

As the EWCTV advert comes to an end, we find ourselves backstage where Caleb Scott is shown walking through a corridor at Wembley Stadium. He is making his way to his dressing room when Zack Tyler cuts him off and stands face-to-face with Caleb. After weeks of attacks and verbal back and forth, their hostility towards each other is reaching a breaking point.

Caleb: Well, well. If it isn't my little pal Zack Tyler. Healing up ok from the beatings I've given you? I can only hope to see you in the Rumble tonight so I can eliminate you myself. Once I win the EWC Undisputed Championship, I won’t have time for your nonsense anymore. No matter what happens at the Rumble, Brawl #591, the final episode of the season, we settle this once and for all.

Zack: That’s if you even make it to the Rumble. You might have beaten me but you'll never be able to stop me. If you want to finally settle this at the season finale then let's do it.

Caleb and Zack intensely stare each other down before they inevitably begin to exchange right hands. Fighting back and forth, Caleb eventually pushes Zack back. He grabs Zack by the head and slams his face down onto a table. Zack grabs a clipboard from the table and breaks it over Caleb's head before spearing Caleb to the floor and trying to punch him as Caleb covers up. Caleb is able to elbow Zack in the chest and push him off. Caleb hits Zack with a right hand and Zack stumbles down the corridor. Caleb sees a chair leaning against the wall and goes to grab it. Zack is stunned for a moment and when he turns around Caleb drives the chair into Zack's ribs. Zack drops to his knees and Caleb then delivers a hard chairshot to the back. Caleb takes a moment to catch his breath then gets ready to hit Zack again. He lifts the chair over his head but before he can swing it Zack hits Caleb with a desperation low blow. Zack grabs the chair and delivers his own chairshot to Caleb's back. Staff and security begin to emerge and separate the two fighting stars.

Caleb: You son of a bitch! Just wait until I see you in the ring tonight!

Zack: Who said we had to wait?!

Caleb slips away from the security holding him back and, doing anything he can to get to Zack, jumps on the group of security guards and starts throwing more punches at Zack. Security recovers and pulls Caleb off the pile and is able to restrain him while Zack and Caleb continue to mouth off to each other.

Caleb: You better watch your back before and after the Rumble, Zack! I'm coming for you! Tonight, tomorrow, on Brawl, it doesn’t matter where you go because I’ll be waiting! The Brawl Season Finale will be the last time you're able to get into a ring.

Zack: You better do the same! Brawl #591 we will finally put this to rest.

Zack struggles to break loose but is held tightly by security before just slipping from their grip. Caleb sees and also breaks himself free from security. The two begin to again throw wild punches and kicks until more security and this time local police officers are called in to break up this melee. Even the camera guy is caught in the brawl and is bumped to the ground which causes the feed to end as we go back to ringside.

OPENING MATCH
WELCOME TO THE EWC
SINISTER SIX LADDER MATCH
WRITTEN BT: Chunks of Darna Dare

Danny Colt
Dean Judas
Declan O'Connor
Jack Hart
Maledetto
Salvation

    WINNER GETS $250K & WILL MAIN EVENT A MATCH ON THEIR BRAND

We return to ringside where a briefcase sparkling with a gold dollar sign hangs far above the mat.

Woo: After a rough altercation between Zack Tyler and Caleb Scott, it's time to kick off the action here tonight by welcoming six hot young superstars to the E! W! C! Danny Colt, Dean Judas, Declan O'Connor, Jack Hart, Maledetto, and Salvation, all look to climb the literal and proverbial ladder, claiming two hundred and fifty THOUSAND dollars and the main event on their respective brands. The stakes are high, Valentina. Who's the smart money on to claim this lofty prize?

Gomez: There's no smart money in a ladder match, Woo! That's why I love them!

Dobrev: The following match is a Six Person Ladder Match! Joining us first, from Dodge City, Kansas and weighing in at 210 pounds. He is The Dodge City Dynamo ... DANNY COLT!

As Kansas kicks in, the crowd rise up to watch the stage, and from the back out steps Danny Colt! Colt is stretching his arms as he steps out of the back, but he stops after a few paces to throw both hands in the air, acknowledging the fans that are responding to him. Danny walks forward a few more steps and then jogs forward, hopping up onto the apron, before he hurries across to the turnbuckle. Climbing up on the outside, he throws both fists high in the air to applause from the crowd, before jumping off and into the ring. Stripping off his singlet, Colt dashes over and tosses it to the crowd, before he moves to his corner and continues his stretches, getting ready for the battle to follow.

Dobrev: And the opponents first from Los Angeles, California and weighing in at 245 pounds ... DEAN JUDAS!

The lights along the entrance tunnel pulsate while the arena is engulfed in darkness. Each time the bass hits the lights flash on around the tunnel.

Judas is announced as the song hammers with every pulse being felt throughout the arena, a series of bright blinding white lights strobe. The chorus bangs.

Out walks Judas grinning. Strolling down the ramp as the music continues to overpower the crowd’s attempts to boo Dean into submission. Pounding his chest like a beast, Judas cracks his trademark smile flashing his pearly whites. Hopping down off of the turnbuckle Judas appears primed.

'Diamonds' by Any Given Day play over the sound system as Declan appears on the ramp, wearing blue trucks with the Irish flag on them with diamond card design on the back of his trunks with blue knee pads with diamond playing cards on them and blue wrestling shoes as he does the slash of his throat on top of the ramp, with the crowd cheering for him as he walks down with the slap of the hands.

Dobrev: From Cork Ireland, he is Irish Diamond Technician, ... DECLAN O'CONNOR!

He slides into the ring and goes on the turnbuckle and puts his hands up with the crowd cheering for him. He gets down from the turnbuckle, slashes his hand across his throat to dedicate his pet spider, Aiden before leaning towards the ropes, ready to wrestle, waiting for the rest of his opponents to come out.

Dobrev: And from Hurricane, West Virginia and weighing in at 232 pounds, he is the Jack Of Harts... JACK HART!

The thumping of 'Old Yellow Bricks' begins to play and as the words start, through the curtain emerges 'The Jack of Hearts' Jack Hart with a black T shirt reading 'The Jack of Hearts' and a heart symbol beneath the text. With minimal fuss, he marches down the ramp and to ringside, slapping the hands of the fans as he does a circle around the ring before climbing the steel steps and entering the ring through the middle rope. Arms aloft he gees up the crowd by bouncing off the ropes closest to the camera in this stance and climb up to the middle turnbuckle to raise one arm aloft with his index finger pointing to the sky.

Dobrev: From Green Bay, Wisconsin and weighing in at 198 pounds ... MALEDETTO!

Witchy Woman comes on as the lights dim. On the Xtron, bones are dropping down then turn to dust as Maledetto walks out to the ramp. He casually walks down to the ring, giving the occasional high five to fans who reach out to him. He slides in the ring then climbs the turnbuckle, he stares at the crowd then does a fist pump before jumping back down to begin the match.

Dobrev: And finally, from Mystic River and weighing in at 285 pounds, he is ... SALVATION!

Salvador Serenity smiles wide, waving to the crowd as he makes his way out. He gives "Spock Signs" to the crowd with one hand, raising his walking stick with the other, then starts to jog down the aisle, high-fiving fans. He makes a loop around the ring, exchanging fist bumps and high-fives before sliding under the ropes and into the ring. He bounces off the ropes and few times before heading to his corner, handing over his walking stick, then starts stretching.

DING DING DING

Danny Colt explodes out of the gate, trying frantically to rally the crowd as he careens across the ring at Dean Judas, going for an immediate finish with his Kansas Kutter! With a look of utter disdain, Judas blocks it and snatches the smaller man from the air, falling backwards into a moonsault fallaway slam, then roaring with the effort as he hauls Colt up onto his shoulders and plants him with a fireman's carry slam, right in the middle of the ring!

Woo: No time wasted here for Judas; he calls that one 'The Ballad of Nino Brown'.

The remaining four competitors have each found a corner, watching the fate of poor Danny and exchanging glances before all four charge at once on a very game Judas, who invites them in with outflung arms. Maledetto closes distance first, then falls flat on his face and goes sliding between Dean's legs, in the process tripping Jack Hart, who falls right into a snug clothesline. Salvation wisely puts on the brakes, throwing his palms out and stepping backward as O'Connor ducks under Judas' other arm, and pops into a flawless Japanese arm drag, kipping up and stalling... before rattling the outspoken heel with a corkscrew roundhouse kick for good measure! The crowd goes wild for the technical underdog, who is all business--

--but not quick enough to being dragged into a headlock by Salvation, who slips in slickly and ties him up into a technical contest. They switch through a rapid display of counter-holds, each sparing the other a grin of mutual respect, before the man from Mystic River steals the upper hand with a swift ankle pick, grabbing the Irishman as he goes down to apply a crushing sideslam! He's quick to his feet, but fails to notice the incoming heel of Jack Hart-- pow! Salvation eats a superkick!

Hart throws out his arms, attempting to steal the raucous ardor of the English fans, and as they explode he smiles; but they're not erupting for him, but Maledetto! The luchador springboards in from the apron, landing atop the Virginian's shoulders and sweeping him to the mat with an explosive Frankensteiner!

Woo: The action is fast and intense here, but also dare I say comical at times thanks to Maledetto? 

Gomez: That's trip is going to go viral tonight for sure! 

Judas and Colt are back up and brawling, smashing each other from pillar to post, as O'Connor and Salvation size each other up once more. Hart wriggles away from Maledetto, who lunges at him only to facefault a second time - this time, because his boot laces are tangled together into a knot! Hart looks as confused as the luchador, and sells his accusation of shenanigans with a genuine expression of shock that gets a ripple of laughter from the crowd. They each set to untangling the hapless man's boots, as Salvation takes the opportunity to dart in on O'Connor--

--and eats a back drop suplex for his efforts, crashing bodily to the mat and sliding through to the outside, where he pauses to take stock and pluck the ladder from the ground nearby, sliding it into the ring. Declan is forced to leap the incoming obstacle, catching himself on the ropes, and Salvation springs up to slam a forearm over the ropes into the Irishman, who stumbles back into the crossfire of Danny Colt and Dean Judas! He takes a shot from each, then laughs and wipes out Colt with a swinging neckbreaker before pushing his way right into Judas' business!

Dean slams both hands into his chest, then beckons the wiry O'Connor on, daring him to take his best shot. Declan smirks, turns away, and then erupts into a one-eighty spear that about snaps his mouthy opponent in half! Judas attempts to stand despite the ferocity of this attack, and ends up grabbed and suplexed over the ropes to the outside, landing with an almighty crash!

"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"

Declan encourages the chant, but pays for his involvement with the crowd; Salvation rockets across the ring, showing Jack Hart than anything the other man can do, he can do better, as he rocks O'Connor with a superkick of his own! Hello Nurse!

Woo: The fans are saying it all here folks! What a display of athleticism Declan there! 

Gomez: He keeps this up and Declan will go far here in EWC! 

Maledetto has been extricated from his predicament, with a little help from Hart, and the two men are now on their knees staring one another down. Hart offers the first shot, and the skeletal luchador shakes his head, making a counter-offer that Jack takes after a moment's consideration, waffling the masked man with a vicious chop! Maledetto fires back with a second resounding slap, and then both men surge to their feet to continue the exchange, getting a strong response from the crowd, as Salvation watches from the sidelines, weighing up both opponents.

Danny Colt takes this opportunity to re-insert himself, going for his own superkick-- which Salvation evades by inches, wide-eyed and backing off toward the ladder, baiting the other man in before grabbing him by the head, and heaving him up and over into a lifting reverse DDT onto the metal frame on the canvas! MALPRACTICE! He's borne a lot of punishment already, and Danny Colt is undeniably hurt by that, rolling into a pained ball!

Before Salvation can act any further, he's suddenly the recipient of a flying Jack Hart, as Maledetto curtails the contest of chops by stepping into a heaving belly-to-belly suplex, hurling his savior across the ring! Salvation is sent through the ropes by the human missile, prompting frantic apology from Maledetto, who clearly didn't intend this outcome.

"WE FORGIVE YOU!" clap-clap-clapclapclap "WE FORGIVE YOU!"

The men on the outside close on one another as Maledetto bows graciously to the crowd, and then begins setting up the ladder for the first ascent of the evening, going timidly rung-by-rung as the sounds of brawling erupt from below.

Woo: Maledetto seems to be either the luckiest SOB in EWC or the most clumsy. I'm not too sure!

Gomez: Whatever gets the job done Marcus! 

Dean Judas is just slamming O'Connor's head off the barricade as Savior interjects, seizing a waistlock only to eat a scything back elbow for his efforts. He's split open as he stumbles back, and Judas seizes his arm, yanking him back in and picking up for a massive spinning slam right into the same barricade! MONEYPLEX! The barrier topples into the crowd, as Salvation's momentarily limp form collapses onto Declan O'Connor. Staring up at the ring, Judas swears and starts toward the apron, just as Maledetto reaches for the briefcase full of dollar bills...

Jack Hart comes FLYING off the corner post, scissoring his legs in mid-air to smash Maledetto off the top of the ladder with a bicycle kick! The luchador's eyes widen in the instant before impact, but there's nothing he can do-- he's sent absolutely hurtling toward the hard floor, seemingly doomed, until a flailing limb catches on the ropes, and his momentum is abruptly diverted! The crowd, already exploding for the show of athleticism, get even louder as they watch Maledetto curl up and go crashing through the middle rope back into the ring, slamming against the base of the ladder...

Which is caught and stabilized by Danny Colt, who glances at the fallen Hart before he starts to climb.

He's joined almost instantly by Dean Judas, and both men race to the top, where they start to trade enormous strikes!

On the outside, Salvation and O'Connor have found their feet, glancing at each other warily before coming to an accord. Agreeing to disagree for the moment, they slide into the ring and each take one side of the ladder. Dean Judas yells down at them to stop, and Danny Colt takes the opportunity to rattle him with a European uppercut!

The two men holding the ladder give a surge of effort, and then HURL the entire structure sideways...

Danny Colt leaps clear, as the stunned Judas is slungshot down to ringside, smashing into the barricade as the ladder bounces wildly back into the ring, narrowly avoided by the two men who brought this about!

"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"

Woo: DANNY FREAKING COLT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Wow! 

Gomez: If there is one thing that is clear from this match, it's that the Youngblood in EWC is surely on the rise! 

O'Connor is unfazed by the chaos and violence, clearing the ring to flow seamlessly into a brutal Tarantula Choke on Salvation, tying the other man up in the ropes and applying every bit of pain he can muster, screams coming from the other man within moments! He's clearly trying to remove every bit of strength from his fresher opponent, and he's doing a bang-up job - the crowd are chanting for both of them, but slowly coming over to Salvation as HE becomes the underdog!

Then they positively explode again, as Maledetto comes flying in with a dropkick, forcing O'Connor to break the hold as both the luchador's heels SLAM smartly into him, and Mal rebounds into a perfect backflip, landing on his feet with an, "Olé!"

Salvation slithers free to the apron, making agonized noises, as Maledetto hits the ropes running on the opposite side. JACK HART plays spoiler, limping into place to intercept with a big discus forearm, smashing the luchador to the canvas! He's staggering on his leg, injured by the earlier fall, when a furious O'Connor hits him with a slingshot cutter, floating over to apply a guillotine choke on the downed man, absolutely seeing red as he simply tries to dish out as much pain as possible!

Danny Colt looks to spoil the violence, but is cut off by a vicious spear from Salvation!

The crowd are fully on side as the good doctor rolls to the corner, and pops right up into a moonsault, completing his combination on Colt, who is receiving sympathy chants for just how much offense he's ended up taking here!

Salvation wastes no time, straightening up from the moonsault to drop an elbow onto O'Connor's skull, breaking up the submission, and then hauling O'Connor to his feet for a second MALPRACTICE! As he does this, Maledetto pulls up Jack Hart and nails a near-synchronous Perfect Plex, the double collision shaking the ring, the ladder bouncing frantically!

The two standing men straighten up, staring one another down, and then both dive for the ladder at once! Salvation reaches it first, successfully spinning and levelling Maledetto with a smash to the midsection, before swiftly setting the ladder in place. He starts to climb, and SNAP, an entire rung breaks off beneath his foot, his jaw driven into the frame as he falls down and forward. Maledetto reaches out to grab his ankle, this twist of misfortune buying him the opportunity to scale Salvation, bypassing the broken rung using his opponent's body, and making it almost to the top--

--before Salvation grabs at his ankle! Maledetto kicks him away, and the other man backs off, sliding to the other side of the ladder where he begins to climb, blocking the shot that's thrown at him as he reaches the top opposite the luchador!

They trade blows, and the crowd is absolutely divided!

Another rung breaks beneath Salvation's feet! Did anyone even check these ladders over? Maledetto takes the opportunity to reach for the briefcase, but Salvation grabs onto him, pulling him away as he falls from the ladder...

In mid-air, flailing for something, anything to hold onto, Maledetto's hand closes on the briefcase--

--and it all but floats free, collapsing against his chest as both men fall to the mat with a mighty crash, the ladder toppling... right across Maledetto's masked face as the crowd begins to surge in appreciation for the bad luck luchador!

DING DING DING

Dobrev: And your winner, via someway, somehow ... MALEDETTO!

It's a strange scene as several other competitors find their feet, hearing their ears assailed by chants for Maledetto as the poor man just lies there, unconscious and bleeding through the mask from that final 'fuck you' by the toppling ladder. Dean Judas looks furious, and rages out on the fallen barricade, as Colt slips to ringside to slap hands with his faithful fans, and Jack Hart just shakes his head before heading to the back, slapping hands of his own along the way. O'Connor puffs out his cheeks, staring at the carnage, and Salvation - the last to rise - eventually decides someone had better intervene, and extricates his victorious opponent from under the ladder, rousing the luchador with a couple of polite slaps to the face before pulling him to his feet and throwing his arm up in the air! The crowd pops anew for this show of sportsmanship!

Woo: Well, I for one am thrilled to say that nothing strange or outlandish happened during that match! What we saw was a highly technical contest in which Maledetto prevailed through sheer skill, over five other furiously-battling competitors. He'll be awarded not just the money in that case, but a main event match on his very first show for Paramount Wrestling!

Gomez: Nothing strange!? Are you mad, or doing that sarcasm thing again? There's something really weird about that masked man, Woo, I'm telling you. I don't know how he won but it didn't seem fair to me! Those other men were robbed!

Woo: Robbed or not, we have our winner here tonight and what a PPV debut for these men! 

Gomez: And we are JUST... GETTING... STARTED! We still have so much more to go here tonight folks! 

The celebration continues for Maledetto as we cut backstage for a word from someone of some importance ...

We cut backstage, where we find Ace Heart standing by...and he's not alone, as Jim Connors has joined him at this time, a smile on the BRAWL General Manager's face as Ace begins to speak.

Heart: Good evening fans, Ace Heart here with the scoop you crave! I'm here with the GM of Monday Night BRAWL, who's been a busy man here at the EWC Rumble. How goes, Jim?

Connors chuckles as he speaks up.

Connors: That's right Ace, ol' Jimbo's been finalizing plans for Monday Night BRAWL heading to the Philippines, and I just nailed down some AXE-cloosives for the fans watching the Rumble tonight, here in London and those watching at home!

This gets a bit of a pop from the London crowd as Connors continues.

Connors: The biggest bit of news I want to dish out now, before King Flip is set to go after the EWC X-Division Championship tonight against El Pablo, is that I've officially confirmed his EWC International Championship bout against Stitches WILL be our main event in Bocaue, and the hunger for violence will be satisfied as it will be a First Blood match!

A bigger pop from the crowd indicates a strong desire for the brutality that will ensue, tonight and in a couple weeks!

Connors: Now, let's talk about--

Suddenly, Jim is interrupted by a voice from the distance.

??: Now hold on a minute, Connors!

Jim and Ace turn their attention to the source of this cause for the pause, as Morgan Darkwater steps into view staring the GM down.

Darkwater: Ye an' I need t' discuss matters; I know yer'self an' I haven't exactly been on e'en terms, given my past indiscretions, an' I can understand yer cautious nature regardin' me true intentions, an' will do whate'er ye want t' prove me'self... but purposely leavin' th' Cap'n out o' th' Rumble - an' with th' Undisputed title on th' line, nay less - be somethin' I cannae let slide!

The GM just continues to stare the Captain down for a moment, taking those words into consideration...before cracking a smirk, nodding his head in agreement.

Connors: You know what, Cap? You make a fair point. Here's the thing, though...with only thirty spots across our vast EWC roster, there's never a real guarantee for everyone that deserves to go in to actually get in. That said, I can make this up to you as best I can.

The GM takes just a brief pause to think it over, then continues with a nod.

Connors: Yes, that's it...I know you're itchin' to prove yourself, so I'm gonna give you the chance in Bocaue. A big match, one that--should you win--will prove you deserve whatever you have coming to you.

Another smirk flashes on Jim's face, one that the Captain notices and immediately becomes concerned about as he ponders the offer. Finally, he nods in agreement before speaking again with a slight grunt.

Darkwater: Hmph... well, it be too late t' add me t' th' Rumble, so I 'spose this will have t'do... but who will I be facin', may I ask?

Jim's smirk widens to a wicked grin.

Connors: Oh, don't you worry about that Cap...you go on and get ready, it's gonna be a loooong night for ya in Bocaue.

With that, Jim walks away...leaving us with a concerned Captain looking on as we cut away!

Narumi Tsutsumi is found backstage with Pepper Montana. Pepper smiles at Narumi, but to his surprise, Narumi nods in acknowledgement and keeps her game face on.

Pepper: Hello everyone, Pepper Montana, backstage correspondent standing by with the Indy Champion who has requested time to talk tonight. Narumi, I've known you since I interviewed you for your debut, and I must say it seems like you mean business tonight.

Narumi: I do. I appreciate you coming, Pepper, but I'll get right to the point that I don't appreciate King Flip. He’s almost as wretched as his former partner Jack Severn. First of all, who is Flip to tell me to mind my own business when I'm responding to another faction who has my name in their mouths, trashing me two shows in a row in my home country? I often observe and don't always speak, so I see more than many might think. Flip is the darkest pot calling a navy blue kettle black. Anyone who pays the slightest bit of attention to Flip or Fighter Talk sees him constantly unpromptedly sticking his nose in other people's arguments. My response to others speaking of me, my relationship with my best friend Megumi, and my showing of love towards the unsung great work of my Shinijoshi sister Aiya have nothing to do with Flip, so why doesn't he take his advice about self-business minding to where it actually applies?

Pepper: It would seem Flip took exception to your line going into Parabellum, the one you had about having a better winning ratio of matches making you the number one contender. I believe he said he'd never let that argument slide and he's a bitter you know what.

Narumi shakes her head.

Narumi: Am I supposed to apologize for a fact? Back then, I was 9-0 so I was number one contender. He can be as bitter as he wants, but it's not my problem he kept getting outdone by others in that ring. Just like it's not my problem he isn't in the Rumble tonight and I am. I'll always take my shot at the Undisputed Championship, regardless of other people’s circumstances because I might never have another chance. Even now, I'd rather be 9-2 than 13-6. But I get it, Flip takes pride in the quantity of matches he wrestles and the number of wins. That's his right, no one is trying to take that away from him. Even tonight, I'll say his match with El Pablo is monumental! Not just because I'm a fan of Pablo, and Pablo showed me a lot of love this season, but because either one will be double champion or, which I also plan on doing soon, the other leaves with a year-long reign. I don't need to try diminishing others when I'm not wrestling them. For Flip, I'll mention there's an award at the end of the year at Honors for most wins in a season because that truly is a special accomplishment to have. Flip still has an underdog chance of winning that award, and props to whoever will. Quantity matters! But is the quantity of wins the end all be all? No. Losses matter, too, both Flip and I lost a Night of Champions and it's why I'm not Undisputed Champion and he doesn't have an Undisputed Championship match yet. In fact it all matters….

Narumi takes the microphone from Pepper and looks into the camera as if speaking to Flip directly as her words intensify.

Narumi: Winning streaks matter! MVPs matter! Main events wins matter! Championship defences matter! Win-loss ratios matter! Yes, Flip, consistency and quality DO matter! Some fans don't want their favourites so hurt by their martyr complex schedule that they walk around on crutches and have to resort to ruining matches with sneak attacks because they aren't capable of performing properly! You can complain about my wrestling schedule all you want, but when I do wrestle, I make it special for the people who pay to see me! You have 6 MVPs out over 20 matches when I have 7 of them out of 13 matches!

Narumi then aggressively lifts up the Indy Championship.

Narumi: And I'm not about to take disrespect from someone who calls himself a fighting champion when I'm the one who is actually put to work defending my championship the most in this company! And don't you talk to me about me wrestling in a small pond, Flip. I'm tired of relics like you who are still stuck in the past who don't see the Prime roster has the same amount of people as any other brand in 2022! I've defeated two former Undisputed Champions this season, one of whom I did in a champion vs champion match, and the other I beat twice to defend my championship! I beat a 6'8 monster who was the first person to be a Broadcast champion on two brands! I've fought gymnasts, technical wrestling savants, hardcore barbarians, and people who come from mansions to the streets alike and in between! I'm asked to wrestle in hour-long wrestling clinics, chaotic matches filled with barbwire, glass, and ladders, singles and tag division contests, and I always understand the assignment as I put on matches of the night time and time again! So don't talk to me as if my competition isn't vast and diverse! If you don't watch Prime, that's your prerogative, but at least keep your ignorant mouth shut about it!

Narumi puts her championship on her shoulder and does a nasty glare.

Narumi: What pisses me off most about you, and a vast number of people on Brawl, is how you love to pretend you're automatically better than us! I try to be respectful, but this isn't the first, second, third, fourth, or anywhere near that low of an amount of times before I've decided to address this now. You always hide behind the fact you have all that history to make you the flagship brand. You cry like entitled little babies whenever none of you gets the job done to become contenders, despite having the entire system and a built-in loyal fanbase to support you just because of how long your brand has been around! You don't understand what being on Prime is like! Whenever I beat a champion from another brand, be it on my brand or theirs, no one starts foaming at the mouth about how they can't handle Prime. They move on, just like they did when Aiya pinned the Undisputed Champion this season. But the rare times I lose to someone from another brand? The world explodes about how this is what happens when one wrestles in the big leagues! No one watches our wins, and our losses mean we're the indy darlings losers you always knew we were. That's life on the indies Flip! But the indies always keep on fighting no matter how many times were spat and shat on! And sometimes, enough is enough and we let our voices be heard, and I don't apologize for it! If you had cared for Prime, you'd have known I always said I'd represent us as a rebel that encourages our ranks to be oni raising hell! The indy spirit is no longer quiet, and I'll make it be heard whenever I want by talking and fighting! And I’ll do that for any match I’m in, including this massive upcoming Rumble tonight!

Narumi slams the microphone on the floor and leaves the room as the show continues.

MATCH TWO
WELCOME BACK TO THE EWC
TRIPLE THREAT
WRITTEN BY: Chunks of Darna Dare

Bathsheba
Vs Kenneth Williams
Vs Axel Zane

We return to ringside where a few discretely-dressed members of the cleanup crew are tidying away the last of the detritus.

Woo: Off to a slow start as always on the Rumble, but you'll have to bear with us as we work our way toward the main event. Up next; triple threat, there can be only one, as we welcome three bona fide bad-asses back to the EWC! We will also be hearing from several people about their upcoming night in the Rumble! 

Gomez: Slow start, Woo? ¡Caray! I'm already juiced up over here! That match was crazy, just like the competitors in this one. Wanna hear my joke, Woo? So a stoner, a zombie, and an elite Black Ops specialist walk into a bar...

Dobrev: The following contest is a triple threat match, and is for one fall! Joining us first, from Babylon, weighing in at one hundred and thirty pounds ... she is the Whore of Babylon ... BATHSHEBA!

As the violin starts the arena plunges into darkness and stays pitch black for the first 40 seconds until the piano starts. When it does a red spotlight shines down shines down on Father Mathias who is cackling with laughter. After another 20 seconds he slams his cane on the stage which causes fire to shoot up from the stage behind him to the left and right. Bathsheba comes crawling out from under the stage and stops when she gets to Father Mathias' feet. Together they go to the ring where Bathsheba slides under the bottom rope where she listens to Father Mathias' last minute instructions.

Dobrev: And her opponent!

[...3]







[..2]







[.1]



The lights in the arena begin to dim as the countdown ends and the X-Tron springs into life with a shot of “The Human Highlight Reel” Kenneth Williams giving the camera a few playful winks.

The fans jump straight to their feet in cheer as “Family Ties” by Baby Keen & Kendrick Lamar begins to play through the PA speakers. The familiar horn pattern accompanying the adlibs of Baby Keem echo throughout the arena as Kenneth Williams steps out onto the ramp.

Dobrev: From Austin, Texas; weighing in at two hundred and twenty-five pounds ... He is the Human Highlight Reel ... ladies and gentlemen, KENNETH WILLIAMS!

Fire and pyro began shooting out of the stage as Kenny stands at the ramp with a playful grin as he stands at a military rest with his head cocked to the side before taking off in a full sprint to the ring, making sure to slap hands of the fans on his way. He hops onto the outside of the turnbuckle before looking out into the crowd and delivering his trademarked Highlight hand gesture with a look of disgust on his face. He hops into the ring and prepares in his corner.

Dobrev: And their opponent, from New Orleans, Louisana, weighing in at two hundred and fifty five pounds ... The Apex Predator ... AXEL ZANE!

The lights dim inside the arena, as the video screen above the entrance ramp fades on as the following message slowly displays upon the screen.

"Be warned my children, for a swift darkness has arrived. London! He is here. The AGE OF AXEL IS UPON US!"

The lights inside the arena stay dim, as 'Voices' by Rev Theory hits loud over the p.a system. The fans all turn their attention towards the entrance ramp, and in that moment, Axel Zane slowly stalks out from the back with his chin almost posed to the sky. His walk is slow but with a purpose. The fans give him a mixed reaction filled with mostly boos but some cheers for those seduced by his message, but Axel pays no mind to any of the reactions from the crowd. Their opinions don't matter to him in this moment. Axel does not slap hands or even acknowledge a single fan as he heads down towards the ring. Once Axel reaches the bottom of the ramp way, he steps forward and slides into the ring, under the bottom rope, sliding slowly and with a sinister look upon his face as if he was a Viper moving about. Axel then rises to his feet, and heads for the bottom right turnbuckle, where he climbs up to the top turnbuckle. There, Axel arches his back, and raises his arms out wide, his chin tilted to the skies, as he constructs his signature and iconic pose. Axel then slowly gets down from the turnbuckle, and paces for a moment, before leaning in the top right corner with a smirk on his face as he awaits the unlucky man about to step into the ring with him.

Gomez: ¡Oh, mierda! I forgot the ending to my joke! Do you see the abs on that man, Woo? DO YOU SEE THEM?

DING DING DING

Zane and Bathsheba are each other's dark mirror, the former licking his lips lasciviously as the Babylonian surges forward and then darts backward, circling him with sinuous rotations of her hips and head. Williams looks between his two opponents, eyes wide, and then nopes out, throwing up his hands and sliding to the outside where, with a sly grin, he produces a banged-up joint from his pocket and begins to puff away at one corner of ringside. The official is about to start applying a count, when with an inhuman screech, the Whore of Babylon hurls herself at the Apex Predator, one arm scything heavenward and down as she leaps, driving him to the mat with a savage blow to the back of the skull. He tries to beg off, but is wearing a cold smirk as he does so, shuffling back as the demented creature keeps on coming, whiffing on a hard kick across the side as Zane rolls backwards and comes up standing, beckoning her on. She obliges, and he falls into a scissor-leg takedown, dropping her throat-first across the ropes. With a gurgle, Bathsheba stumbles backwards, right across Zane's shoulders! Snarling matter-of-factly at the booing crowd, he drops the stacked zombie with a ring-shuddering Olympic Slam!

Kenneth Williams slow claps from the outside as Zane climbs the turnbuckle and re-addresses his iconic pose, torso rippling as he soaks in the obliging jeers from the EWC faithful. What he fails to notice is the silently-snarling, quivering form of Bathsheba, already on her feet behind him, staring up at his popping back muscles with animal disdain. Oblivious, Zane lowers his arms and starts to turn-- only to be immediately cut off as Bathsheba clears the distance with another scream of fury, leaping clean over the top rope and arching backwards to LAUNCH the Apex Predator across the ring, hanging in place thereafter as she executes a beautiful spider suplex. Ichor pours from her maw as she stares across the ring at the tumbling, collapsing form of Zane...

And then there's a boisterous cry of, "HEY-OOO!" Kenny re-inserts himself into the match from the outside, springing clean up onto the turnbuckle and throwing the crowd a salute before he leaps and drills both heels into the base of Bathsheba's chin! She's drilled from the post to the mat, Williams rolling clear and bouncing joyously to his feet to do a victory lap of the ring, the crowd going absolutely wild as he throws his arms out like an airplane. He comes to a top by the rising Zane, grinning ear-to-ear, ready to meet the other man with a leap onto the back, nailing an inverted Frankensteiner, bundling him up for a snug cover...

ONE...




TWO...



KICKOUT!

With a chuckle, Kenny slides to his feet, curtailing his humor with an 'oop!' as he hears the stomping feet of Bathsheba behind him, turning a little too late to evade a forearm that staggers him into the corner. The Whore of Babylon roars, black liquid dripping from her bruised jawline, and throws herself into Williams, who ducks down and manages to backdrop her onto the apron! She lands, and spins right into an elbow that catches him across the temple. Catching the ropes to keep his balance, Williams is immediately met by an uppercut from the recovered Zane! The former soldier glares at Bathsheba, muttering a few words that seem to be proposing a temporary alliance - but what he gets in response is a leaping bulldog and a second attempted cover!

ONE...




KICKOUT!

Zane is incensed as he surges to his feet, stumbling away to recover as Bathsheba spins onto all fours and stares him down, her tongue protruding menacingly.

Woo: Zane and Williams are making big mistakes early on here trying to form alliances with Bathsheba. When is anyone going to learn that you cannot trust the Babylonian? 

Gomez: It's never a bad idea to test the waters, but both Zane and Williams are just being delusional here. She is more likely to rip their ears off of their head than work with them. 

There's another MASSIVE pop from the crowd as Williams, their clear favorite, uses the Whore of Babylon as a springboard, launching himself into a spinning crossbody on the furious Zane - who manages to whirl aside into a standing dropkick just as Kenny lands on his feet. The Human Highlight Reel is hurled back against the ropes, and Axel follows up with an authoritative spinebuster, looking for the cover but having to swiftly break as Bathsheba rages in, grabbing his head in both hands and gnashing her gore-soaked teeth as she attempts to remove a chunk of his skull! Zane fights back, slamming a knee into the midsection, and then hurling Bathsheba to the outside... but, no! She lands on one knee, SCREAMS, and hurls herself from a crouch back into the ring, sliding under the top rope and immediately engaging the Apex Predator in a furious hockey fight, each grabbing the back of the other's head and hurling stiff punches! Despite the size difference, the maniacal woman is giving as good as she gets, and they end up falling against one another, head-to-head, chests rising and falling, their looks of sadism a virtual mirror...

In the instant before Williams slams knee-first into Zane's shoulder blades and pitches him forward onto Bathsheba, the pair of them going down with a crash, Williams punching the air on top of them both!

ONE




TW-- KICKOUT!

Nobody's surprised that he can't keep down both opponents at once, but the crowd is pleased that he tried, and he just looks happy to be here as he rolls to his feet and slumps in the corner, comically exaggerating his own weariness as he strives to take a break. Zane and Bathsheba share a scathing glance, and then finally reach terms on an alliance - both diving toward Williams, who responds by sliding to the floor and slipping between them, rising up into a single-leg dropkick that sends Bathsheba into the corner, before addressing the turning Zane with a beautiful Pelé Kick! Zane avoids the corner by catching the rope on his way back, but succeeds only in taking a knee. Williams calls his shot with a gesture to the crowd, who cheer appropriately, and then he takes to the top rope, balancing up there, poised for a full couple of hearts, and THEN springboarding off-- into an Huracanrana, just as the other man finds his feet!

His jubilation is short-lived, his open-armed plea to the thrilled crowd to make themselves bigger and louder cut off by the incoming mass of Bathsheba, who hits him clean in the midsection with a brutal spear, lifting him from his feet to the canvas. She about lands mounted, her thighs spread about Kenny, who laughs and yells something about a first date, but can't quite fend her off in time to avoid the sudden CHOMP on his shoulder as the Whore of Babylon decides she's gone hungry for too long. Laughter turns to screaming, as Williams kicks his legs and bucks his hips, trying to get the human lamprey off of him. Bathsheba is making delighted snorting noises as she chews away, blood already soaking the mat as Williams manages to twist enough to launch her off of him. She lands spread-eagled, and with wide eyes he pops to his feet, turns, and hits a picture-perfect standing moonsault! Rather than go for the pin, he rebounds to vertical base, staggering backwards and clutching at his bleeding shoulder. He doesn't have long to breathe, because Axel Zane is ready for him, running in to pick the injured man up for ANOTHER big slam! A uranage, right on top of Bathsheba! For the second time, both contestants are covered at once...

ONE...




TWO...




KICKOUT!

Kenneth Williams is frantic as he gets the shoulder up, covered in his own blood and whatever the heel keeps pouring from Bathsheba's mouth, pulling himself away to the outside as Zane attempts to drag him back in.

Woo: Things are heating up in this one now, but it's still anyone's match to win or lose. 

Gomez: It's gong to come down to who wants it more Marcus. Who wants to put their mark on EWC in their return the most! 

With Williams safely on the outside, Bathsheba decides enough is enough, for their 'alliance', and hisses to get Axel Zane's attention, before spewing a mouthful of crimson mist right into his face! The Apex Predator claws at his eyes, manfully refusing to scream but clearly in immense pain, as the Whore of Babylon chops at his muscular leg with a few meaty kicks, and then slides behind him, snarling out at the crowd as she locks in a tight sleeper hold! The official goes to ask for the submission, but Bathsheba isn't done; she sinks her teeth into the man's ear from behind, biting hard enough that there's a visceral crunch of snapping cartilage a couple of moments later. "Oh shit, that's NASTY!" Comes the exclamation from the apron, where Williams has positioned himself to survey proceedings, sharing his dismay with the crowd before he lets his eyes wander from the top to the bottom... assessing Bathsheba's more savory assets, he nods approvingly, and has to remind himself he's in a match with a firm shake of his head! Ducking through the ropes, Williams dashes around to the front and then explodes into a dropkick to Zane's chest, blasting both him and Bathsheba to the canvas.

Father Mathias barks an instruction from the outside, and the Whore recovers with a snarl, decking the stunned Zane with a quick leg drop before turning her attentions to Williams, who is rolling is shoulders and squaring up to her in a Queensbury stance, fisticuffs at the ready. The zombie woman tilts her head, birdlike and curious as she steps toward the man, before she covers the rest of the distance in a lunge. Kenny 'eeps' and throws out a jab that glances off her shoulder, finding himself the recipient of a return haymaker a moment later. He barely manages to cover up, stumbling into the corner, where Bathsheba starts to unload with lefts and rights, screeching as she sates her violent craving!

She's so carried away she can do nothing to stop Zane re-inserting himself, stomping over in spite of his burning eyes and bleeding ear, to spin the woman around right into a ripcord high knee!

Williams sees this go down, and shakes off the cobwebs as he sees the Apex Predator fall to his side after the massive shot has landed. Pulling himself onto the corner post, he takes a second to get his composure and then pops the crowd for the umpteenth time with a beautiful split-legged moonsault, right onto the rattled form of Bathsheba!

Woo: What a moonsault by The Human Highlight Reel! wow!

Gomez: The name seems apropos, Marcus. And i'm not talking about digging in the dirt with farm implements either! 

Axel Zane is on his feet, barely sensate but threatening enough that Williams has to cease from covering Bathsheba to deal with the looming threat. Abandoning his elaborate, flighty offense for the moment, Kenny settles for surging into a double leg, bringing the other man down to the mat before he straightens up and drops a leg across the throat! Wiping off his brow, he pushes himself upright again, and looks at Bathsheba, who looks right back at him, her eerie eyes rolling around in their sockets as she slowly rises to face him. He knows what to expect by now, and as she lunges, he falls backwards, getting both hands behind her head, and bringing his knees up...

BLACKOUT! BLACKOUT! Bathsheba's already-damaged, and overworked jaw rebounds off Kenny's knees, and she's unconscious as she flops to the mat.

Williams, wide-eyed, pulse pounding, looks to the crowd - who cheer him on to make the cover! Wildly, desperately, he drags Bathsheba into the middle of the ring and ties her up!

ONE...




TWO...




NO!!

The Apex Predator comes alive, rolling over from where he lies on the mat and bodily hurling one opponent from the other at the LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! Getting onto his knees, he's shaking as he stares at Williams, egging him on to rise by slamming both hands into the mat, over and over. After his burst of offense and the delicious proximity to victory, Williams doesn't think it through, he starts to rise, already moving toward Zane--

--who surges to meet him, and catches him with his own finisher! SWIFT DARKNESS! The RKO carries Kenny to the mat, where he lies, wrapped up with a bow. Zane makes the cover.

ONE...




TWO...




KICKOUT!!!

With a spirited, defiant YELL, the Human Highlight Reel kicks out of his opponent's finisher! The roof about blows off as the crowd erupt!

Woo: Zane thought he had the match there, but Kenneth Williams still has plenty of fight in him!

Gomez: Ya hate to see it Marcus, sometimes the pride gets in the way and you can tell Axel is not thrilled about it!

Axel Zane is in disbelief, face flushed with shock and anger as he rolls onto his knees, reaching to yank Williams back in for another cover-- only to find his grasping arm assailed with a scything kick from Bathsheba, who follows it up with another across the chewed-up ear! The Apex Predator wobbles, but doesn't go down, staring at the Whore of Babylon, demanding she show him more than that! With a hiss, she obliges, recoiling dramatically only to drop her voluptuous frame powerfully toward the floor, the powerful muscles of her legs all bunching up... in preparation to unleash an absolute hellstorm of a roundhouse kick to the man's skull! DECAPITATION!! Zane goes down like he's been SHOT!

Howling to the rafters, Bathsheba is on all fours, lost in the moment, ignoring Father Mathias' insistent order to make the cover at ringside. Instead, she looks around for Williams, who has clawed his way into the corner and slowly pulled himself to his feet. She finds him already staring at her, muttering, "C'mon, bitch, c'mon," as the crowd rally behind him once more in these final moments. The cruel, decadent creature sways to her feet, slinking in a half-circle around her remnant foe. He's soaked in his own blood, she in the blood of both her opponents - and the brackish bile that pours from her mouth as she opens it for another roar, just as defiant as Williams himself.

That's all the plea he needs to make his attack, running directly at her--

--and sweeping her to the mat with a spinning headscissor takedown! She attempts to wriggle away, but he follows up with a running shooting star press, the outrageously-athletic arc of his form crashing down with all its weight upon her. With one arm pointing out to the fans, then making a circle in the air, he pulls her to her feet, and lands a snap suplex that sends her bouncing away to the corner.

Bathsheba recovers mid-bounce, surging back at him, and as he backpedals to lead her off she nails a massive shotgun dropkick that bounces his skull from the turnbuckle!

She's ready to capitalize as he comes back toward her, clearly stunned, but against all odds, William twists through the headlock she applies, staggers away...

...and then immediately eats a faceful of zombie boot as Bathsheba ERUPTS into another DECAPITATION buzzsaw kick! With Kenny already staggering, this succeeds in sending him headfirst through the ropes, and Bathsheba almost dives after him; but is intercepted by Father Mathias, who points insistently with his cane at the still-downed form of Axel Zane! His ward sneers as she dives onto the other man, tying him up for the cover.

ONE...




TWO...




TH-REE!!!

DING DING DING

Dobrev: And your winner, via pinfall, BATHSHEBA!

Mathias' misguided attempt to get a, "WELCOME BACK!" chant going is sold with jeers and boos by the crowd, who continue to rain them down as the Whore of Babylon bends over the defeated form of Zane, licking up the blood pouring from his ear, and then straddling him intimately as the official throws up her arm. A few people do cheer, but are immediately silenced by the rest of the fans, who start hurling their trash at the unhinged woman-thing as she sees spins to her feet, hissing and spitting at them. Father Mathias begins to laugh, proclaiming, "She doesn't care for the opinions of sheep!" As he makes his way into the ring, and commands Bathsheba to come to heel. She obeys him, winding around his leg lovingly as Williams - on the outside - inches his way around the ring and back up the ramp, before he's forced back into a confrontation with his deeply unsettling, but ultimately victorious opponent.

Woo: That was a brutal back-and-forth, and every competitor brought their A game! But like we said, there can be only one. She's back, and she's weirder than ever; the Whore of Babylon, Bathsheba!

Gomez: Well, the best woman did win! And she won in style! Do you think she'd teach me how to bite like that, if I asked her really nicely?

Woo: I don't think I want to know the answer to that one, but regardless we still have our FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE match for the X-Division championship to come.

Gomez: And then the 30-person EWC Rumble in the Main event! 

But before we get to all that, we have some words from a champion himself backstage ...

Backstage, we find Ace Heart standing alongside an unusually stoic-looking El Pablo, the X-Division Championship belt laid proudly, glistening, across the Technicolour Tecnico's shoulder.

Ace Heart: El Pablo, a big night for you here at Wembley Stadium; a night that marks not only three-hundred-and-sixty-five days for you as the EWC's X-Division Champion but, also, your one-hundredth EWC match! With both those things in mind, how're you feeling heading into tonight's Falls Count Anywhere confrontation against the International Champion, King Flip?

EP mulls the question over for a moment or two, fingertips tentatively tapping at the title's faceplate as he gently rocks his body from side to side.

El Pablo: Y'know, when I had my first match here back in September 2017, the EWC was a very different place. Champions Row was filled with names like Otaki, Andrew Jackson, Toni Gunn, the Moors Murders and - of course - the late, great Ashton Drake. Even when I won this, a year ago today…sure, the names like Malone, King, Reid, Dio and the Southern Express are all still current and killing it but, even so, it kinda feels like a whole other era, y'know? An era I'm well aware that King Flip wants nothing more than to bring to an end right here tonight.

He pauses, casting an eager eye over the faceplate.

El Pablo: And maybe he will; I mean, like I said in the run-up to tonight, for as much as we may have bad-mouthed and belittled each other over the past eighteen months or so, there can be no doubt that Flip has absolutely embodied that 'Benchmark' moniker this season. However…when I came to the EWC, it was with the express intention of etching my name into the annals of history - not just those of mi Familia, but of the very Corporation itself! Whatever happens here tonight, I've done just that - and while I, clearly, am never gonna get King Flip's respect, I'm gonna make damn sure that, whether he wins or I lose…

EP's brow furrows, as he and Heart exchange a look.

El Pablo: …Just, uh…you know…

Ace Heart: Yeah, I know…

El Pablo: …Flip it.

Ace Heart: Nice.

El Pablo: No, that wasn’t-

Ace Heart: …Ah.

El Pablo: Whatever happens…whether this is the Rainbowlution's next chapter or its last stand...I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure that King Flip never forgets tonight.

The Tecnico plucks the belt off of his shoulder and raises it above his head, a defiant, fiery stare shot down the camera lens as we close right in on his masked face.

El Pablo: Viva La Rainbowlution…

…Viva la División Extrema…

…Viva El Campeón.

With that final sign-off, the screen cuts to the ringside area... more specifically, the X-Tron.

The X-Tron springs to life and we cut to EWC HQ where we find a very irate looking Grizzly Duggan in his office, sitting at his desk. His eyes are bloodshot, his nostrils are flared and he's looking down at the camera.

Grizzly Duggan: Name a man dumber than Phoenix Winterborn. You can't, it's impossible. This dumb son of a bi.. You've pushed my buttons for the last time.

Grizzly Duggan punches the desk and it falls over broken. Duggan jumps up to his feet.

Grizzly Duggan: THE LAST GOD DAMN TIME. You want to challenge me to a match? You want to fight me? You think you're some big man because you torched my truck? I actually put my hands on you, you are a coward who did your deeds in some field somewhere. But you won't be able to hide at UNCENSORED. You don't be able to run.

Grizzly Duggan begins to laugh, he laughs on and on and on.

Grizzly Duggan: And you won't be able to beg for forgiveness. I accept your challenge and I revoke your suspension. At UNCENSORED it will be Phoenix Winterborn Vs Grizzly Duggan in a Grudge Match. There will be no DQs, there will be no referee. There will be no one to save you from me son. The match ends when the ringside doctor says one of us are too broken to continue, until YOU are too broken to continue. You fucked up son, you fucked up bad. I am going to break you into a billion little pieces, superglue you back together and then snap you like a TWIG. Like the insignificant little branch you are. You are nothing, you will never be anything. And at UNCENSORED, I am proving that.

Grizzly Duggan punches the wall and shatters a brick. He walks towards the open door with blood pouring from his probably broken hand, he invites the cameraman to leave his office and then he slams the door hard enough to break it off the hinges.

Grizzly Duggan: The last motherfucking time. That's a promise.

The X-Tron fades out.

MATCH THREE

EWC X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
WRITTEN BY: The Mad King

King Flip
Vs El Pablo

We return to ringside where Dobrev stands waiting to call the next match. Cameras cut to the announce table.

Woo: And before we have our battle royal with the Undisputed championship on the line, we take you to ringside for what is surely going to put the E in EWC here tonight as King Flip challenges for the X-Division championship against 'the technicolor tecnico' El Pablo. He's been champ for a year!

Gomez: I don't like Flip's chances here, Marcus. I don't like the 'King' as far as I can throw him with how disrespectful he is, but if ever there was a true contender for the X-Division championship then it's going to be this dirt bag.

Woo: Feelings aside, we go to Nina Dobrev inside the ring to get us started with El Pablo's 100th one-on-one competition. Time to get extreeeme!

Quick cut to Nina Dobrev smiling in the ring.

Dobrev: The following contest is a Last Man Standing match for the X-Division championship! To defeat your opponent, you must keep them down -- anywhere in the arena -- to the referee's count of ten!

The crowd erupts in jubilation as they get to their feet.

Dobrev: Joining us first, from the land of money and fame, weighing in at 220 pounds ... he is representing BRAWL as their 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 big red pyro and an even bigger pop from the crowd. 'Machinegun' begins to play as the man in the hooded vest, head low, emerges from the curtain with a bit of a limp in his step. He gets to the edge of the rampway when he lifts his hood to reveal that arrogant half smile.

"C-H-K! C-H-K! C-H-K!"

Chanel emerges from the curtain with the International championship on her shoulder and a scowl across her face. The lyrics chime in as he walks slowly down the ramp with his eyes locked in on the ring. He slowly rolls into the ring with Chanel taking to the steel steps. He gets to the second turnbuckle and Chanel hands over the championship for the King to slowly raise into the air as his theme plays. It takes a moment before he slowly lowers the belt back over her shoulder and turns to the stage ready for the action to start while his theme fades.

Dobrev: And his opponent, from Puebla City, Mexico, weighing in at 180 pounds ... he is the X-Division champion ... 'THE TECHNICOLOR TECNICO' ELLL PAAABLOOO!

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. He charges down the ramp and slides under the ropes into the ring, then runs up the turnbuckle and holds 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, handing his belt to the referee and performing a few final stretches as his music fades.

Woo: Looks like King Flip is still reeling from that fall at Night of Champions, but the match is about to be underway anyway!

DING DING DING

Flip is now sitting on the top turnbuckle, having watched El Pablo do his entrance while perched up there. Pablo invites him to the canvas with a bit of a show but Flip won't do anything but stare him down. The X-Division champion fakes a run toward him and Flip takes the bait by kicking out his foot at Pablo.EP jukes to the side and grabs the second turnbuckle at the edges to spin himself into a swift kick to the King's midsection. Pablo screams in pain as his kicking leg sticks to something for a second before coming back down. EP grips at his leg as Flip stands, revealing with the removal of his hooded vest that he's made himself into a weapon.

Woo: Wait a minute! He's seemingly bandaged himself up with several rolls of tape and... is that barbed wire!?

Gomez: I told you. Flip is an absolute psychopath. Have you not seen him in these matches? Wrapping barbed wire around his damn ribs seems par for the course.

The King points at his head while the crowd gives an astonished mixed reaction. He tosses his vest harshly down onto the champion, who rolls out of the ring and makes an attempt to hobble away. Chanel is there to block him and calf kick swiftly followed by a dropkick into the guardrail. El Pablo gets back to his feet with a lingering limp and turns right into the King nailing him with a suicide dive. Both men go crashing into the guardrail and flop to the ground in opposite directions. The referee decides against starting a count as both men are making their best efforts to swiftly rise back to a vertical base.

Woo: What a start to the match, Gomez. El Pablo has not been able to get a word in edgewise after that startling open to the bout. But he did give Chanel a piece of his mind... or at least his legs.

Gomez: Flip looks like he might not have considered all the possibilities here, however, as he's coming up with a slab of the padding outside the ring attached to his back. What an idiot!

El Pablo comes back with a HIGH cross body that plants Flip back down to the mats. He did, in fact, stand up with a pad stuck to his barbed-wire rib cage concoction. It seems the blow knocks it off. He pops right back up with Pablo and rams him sandwich style between the razor sharp prods sticking out of him and the unforgiving guardrail. Flip grabs Pablo by the laces of his mask and begins to walk him toward the announce tables when Pablo connects a high back elbow to the jaw. The champion follows up by whipping him into the announce table where he once again gets stuck. Woo and Gomez begin to move out of the way as the crowd goes bonkers. Pablo has taken a few steps back to ascend the steel steps just as fast as he leaps to the top turnbuckle. He soars through the sky... flying leg drop through the announce table! He bounds into one of the now empty announcer's rolling chairs and Flip goes flat on the ground amongst the shards of announce table. EP fumbles out of the chair and he slams the chair down onto the challenger's back to add insult to injury. The referee waits for Pablo to completely stand of his own volition before starting the count.

ONE! TWO!

The champion slides into the ring and takes to the second turnbuckle, counting with the referee without taking an eye off his already shuffling challenger.

THREE! FOUR!

Flip shoves the chair off of him and uses the loose monitor to brace himself up to one knee.

FIVE! SIX!

Pablo remains on the turnbuckle counting. Flip remains on one knee, shakily, slowly picking shards of announce table out of the prongs in his taped midsection.

SEVEN! EIGHT!

The champion realizes he's being played and is about to get for another high spot off the top turnbuckle when Chanel comes up from behind with a smack to the back of the head, sending him into the guardrail midsection first. A mass of jubilation and boos begin to get exponentially louder as the referee chastises the challenger's manager. The King stands up with a smile, once again pointing to his head before motioning Chanel over to him. The referee starts the count.

ONE! TWO!

Flip keeps his arms out while Chanel flops the ring apron up to fetch something underneath the ring.

THREE! FOUR!

Pablo begins to stir. Meanwhile, Chanel has pulled out some bolt cutters which she begins to use to cut the wire and tape from Flip's body.

FIVE! SIX!

Chanel makes quick work of the makeshift weapon around the challenger, chopping away at it while Pablo gets to an all-fours position.

SEVEN! EIGHT!

The champion springs up just as Chanel is finishing her cut. He's able to roll into the ring before the referee can count another number, rising shakily to his feet as the King and his manager get the wrapping off entirely. Flip nods with a smile before sliding into the ring.

Woo: My goodness, what a turn of events! A leg drop through our beautiful announce table, an attempted possum play, then that dastardly Chanel coming up from behind with the International championship to the back of Pablo's head. I think it's safe to say at this point that the only reason Flip is still in this match is because of his manager.

Gomez: I can't say I hate the guy in any other ways than I already have, but even the champion gave it to him. The man is smart and he keeps smart people around him. Any way you slice it, the match continues and these men have only just begun to tear into one another. Look at them go!

The competitors collide in the center of the ring in a flurry of blows. First it's right hands and elbows, then they trade an arm drag, a clothesline, then cap with an El Pablo headscissors for a King Flip hurancanrana. The champion is the first to truly show an upper hand here when they return to their feet. He catches Flip in a hammerlock. The King attempts to twist out of it and gets a STIFF kick to the shin for it. Pablo switches to a wrist lock behind the back only for Flip to stumble them both backward into the ropes. Once again, Flip makes a move to twist away but the champion holds onto his hand and pulls him into a dropkick that takes him right back down. The challenger rolls out of the ring and shakes his head at it all. He hasn't a moment to breath, though, as El Pablo has the crowd erupting with an asai moonsault. They slam to the thinly-padded concrete outside the ring... but King Flip rolls over the champion, surprising everyone by locking in his signature submission. KNEEL! El Pablo taps out profusely after about a minute and a half of the King wrenching on his back and neck, but it's obvious Flip doesn't care about that at all as he begins to turn their bodies toward the previously exposed concrete.

Woo: Don't do this, Flip! There are other ways to win the match!

Gomez: Maybe Pablo thought he could catch him by tapping out, or maybe he wasn't tapping at all.

The challenger is unable to keep himself secure enough as he makes an attempt to smash El Pablo's head into the concrete. Technicolor shoves off from his knees and sends CHK right into the barricade face first. Flip begins bleeding from the forehead almost immediately. Pablo is unable to stand at the moment with a hand on his lower back, but Flip isn't much better as it almost looks like the lights are on but nobody's home. He leans against the guardrail on one knee equipped with the thousand yard stare. The referee can't even believe it as he begins a double count out.

ONE! TWO!

Pablo is still writhing on the padded outside. Flip hasn't moved at all.

THREE! FOUR!

No change.

FIVE! SIX!

Pablo is slowly getting up. Flip has barely moved his arm to check on his head wound, smearing blood down the side of his own face.

SEVEN! EIGHT!

Pablo and Flip shakily rise to their feet, neither perfectly reaching that vertical base.

NINE!

Both men fly right back into one another and pick up where they'd left off. This time exchanging elbows face bash for face bash. Pablo goes in with several consecutive kicks to the shins and torso of the International champion. King Flip dropki k misses as the champion slips out of the way. He shoves the boots of the King away before they bounce off the padding only to be right back up. But Pablo springs off the guardrail and headscissors the challenger over the barricade and into the grass. Technicolor stays on him after hopping over the guardrail. Boots into the challenger as they try to crawl away. Flip gets to a knee and shoves him away after the fifth boot to the back. Pablo rolls right back to his feet. However, he stumbles into the barricade and uses it to stand momentarily while the King starts heading toward one of the exits. The champion is after him only a few paces behind and closing. The two reach the massive archway before they're back to beating the hell out of each other.

Woo: It looks like we're gonna take this match to the fans. Or at least backstage! Here we go!

Gomez: El Pablo has to stay on him and make sure the referee is keeping up or he could lose the control he's been able to take from the match!

The tron and hanging televisions fire up just as Pablo is catching up with Flip backstage. Stiff forearms to the back as both men contiue through a hallway. They brawl into a stairway and Flip gets away with a headbutt to the champion. The crowd goes wild as he emerges from the stairway into a front section of seating. The referee bursts through the stairway next to a mixed reaction, but the crowd goes ballistic once more as El Pablo breaches the well. The challenger quickly takes to the stairs down but Pablo is right on top of him. Back elbow for back elbow they go. The champion is lighting with the reply and gets a boot to Flip's midsection before planting the King's dome into the metal handrail. Flip rolls down the flight of stairs while trying to stop or protect himself from each stone step along the way. EP hops on the handrail and tightropes down it as a cap to taking flight into an elbow drop. The audience pops as he gets back to his feet, turning his back to his opponent as the referee gets in position. Flip is already back to his hands and knees somehow, but is quickly picked up into a fireman's carry that is is instantly turned into a spinning side slam!! the camera pans out to see that the person who did this is the Wicked Witch of the Bayou, Tanja Devereaux!!


Woo: OH MY GOD! What the hell is she doing putting herself into this match?!

Gomez: I don't know, but Tanja calls that move City of the Dead and King Flip very well may be dead after that impact! Dios Mio! 

Tanja sits up, turns to the downed King Flip and smiles a wicked grin just inches from Flip's lifeless body before she takes a wash cloth out of her pocket and lays it over Flip's chest... The cloth is Orange in color. 

Woo:... Did... Did Tanja Devereaux just take a page out of the Carnival Clown's book and choose to defect to Paramount Wrestling?! 

The referee is now in position and begins his count. 

ONE! TWO!

Pablo rallies up as Flip lies collapsed.

THREE! FOUR!

Flip is still hardly moving as Pablo gives adulation back to the nearest fans with high fives and handshakes.

FIVE! SIX!

Pablo gets focused and ready as Flip gets to all fours and starts using the waist-high wall to stand.

SEVEN! EIGHT!

Flip gets to a shifty vertical base at best. Pablo goes to clothesline him over the wall! Flip grabs hold of him and they both go soaring over! They land just behind the Rumble signage, crashing through tables full of electrical equipment. A few pops and zaps come from the sign before it bursts. An explosion of lights plume out, the lights remaining on the sign flicker off, and the sign falls forward to show both champion and challenger flat on the ground. It takes the referee nearly a minute to sprint as fast as he can to get to the carnage in the field. Table bits, electrical equipment, and two of the most savage professional wrestlers are all splayed out. For a second time he has to start a double count.

ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!

They both lie completely dormant for almost the entire count.

FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!

Both get to their feet, but Flip has the assistance of Chanel pulling him up and propping him up. The referee shouts for her to let go with the threat of a nine count. The King stumbles to one knee but bounces it off the grass and stands.

Woo: Somebody's gotta stop this! That was AT LEAST a seventy foot drop and these men are on their feet. They're bleeding, they're brawling, and they refuse to give up! The crowd showing their appreciation with a round of applause.

Gomez: El Pablo didn't expect Flip to grab on there, he wanted to send him on that drop by himself. And sure as hell nobody expected either man to get up from THAT. Yet here we are, both men giving everything they have to keep or take the X-Division championship.

Woo: There's something to be said about Pablo's strategy thus far however. He has forced these double count outs because he knows that even if they're both counted out, he retains the X-Division championship.

Gomez: I don't think that's strategy. I think that's survival instincts. The Technicolor Tecnico knows how to win and he knows how to keep regular people down. He just has to find that threshold against King Flip.

Both men just look at each other like the other is a psychopath. A moment passes before either begin to make their way to the guardrail surrounding the ring. They both get themselves over and head to opposite sides of the ring for something underneath. Pablo pulls out and begins to prop up a glass table. The knowing audience ooohs at the inteoduction, all the while Flip has disappeared underneath the ring. The glass table is standing upright as the King pokes his head out from just behind Pablo a pinch too early. Dropkick to the face! Pablo yanks Flip out from underneath the ring and rolls him onto the ring apron. He blasts away with a few forearms before getting himself up there with Flip pulled to his feet as well. Chanel comes in from behind, but she's a second too slow. FRANKENSTEINER FACEBUSTER! Flip's face gets sent through the glass table!

ONE! TWO! THREE!

El Pablo is on his feet with Flip out cold.

FOUR! FIVE!

A chant begins for EP as this may finally be the end.

SIX! SEVEN!

The Cold Hearted King is showing signs of life but can't even begin to align himself properly.

EIGHT!

Pablo stands waiting for anything, hardly able to stand as it is.

NINE!

Flip quickly rolls to his feet but drops to his back in pain. He can't do it.

TEN!

DING DING DING

Dobrev: And your winner, via incapacitating his opponent... AND STILLL EWC X-Division Champion... ELLLLLLLLLLL PABLOOOOOOO!!!

The Technicolor Technico is barely able to stay up right as "Party Hard" begins to play again. He very cautiously raises his hand in the air, holding his ribs with the other as the referee hands him the EWC X-Division Championship.

Woo: WOW... WHAT A MATCH! These two absolutely destroyed each other here tonight for the EWC X-Division championship and we all here in London and everyone of you watching around the globe won in the end! 

Gomez: There is so much to understand here... Flip came within mere MOMENTS Of becoming a dual champion in EWC! He put up one hell of a fight and had this match in his corner for a long time, even from the get go with that barbed wire gag, but El Pablo is on such a run right now that in the end it was not enough to usurp the Longest reigning EWC X-Division champion in history! 

Woo: Both of these men know who their next challengers for their championships are, but will either one be in the physical or mental shape to be able to compete? And what the hell is Tanja Deveraux going to do next? 

Gomez: We're going to find out soon enough! We still have the 30-Man rumble to come folks, you do not want to miss this one! 

Speaking of the Rumble, we have some words from the man who drew #1 as we cut to the backstage area ...

The camera cuts backstage inside The Love Club locker room where we find ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love walking back and forth in front of a seated Xavier Reid. Xavier watches him go back and forth a few times before sticking out his leg causing Tommy to stop right in front of him. Tommy looks down at Xavier and exhales.

Love: I’m not going to sugarcoat it…you got a bad break kid…

Xavier smirks and shakes his head.

Reid: I’m in the Rumble Tommy, that’s all that matters…

Love: Yeah but #1 and with Ace King…

Tommy uses air quotes

Love: ‘DRAWING’ #2…it’s almost like the EWC wanted to fuck you BOTH over…

Reid: It’s just the luck of the draw Tommy…

Love: Sure, the…

Tommy uses the air quotes once again.

Love: ‘THE LUCK OF THE DRAW’...I’m telling you the EWC doesn’t want Xavier Reid or Ace King as the Undisputed Champion…

But Xavier stands up, drawing level with his manager.

Reid: If they didn’t want us as the Undisputed Champion then they wouldn't have allowed us in this match Tommy…

Love: They had to let you in Xavier, you are a champion and Ace King is Ace King, the EWC faithful would have rioted had they excluded Ace from this match so they fucked you good by putting you two 1 and 2 knowing damn well the odds would be stacked against you…

Xavier smiles at Tommy.

Reid: I want the odds stacked against me Tommy…I wouldn’t have it any other way…this has been a fucking terrible season for me…sure there have been highlights here and there, winning the International Championship, the Tag Team Championships…becoming a Grand Slam Champion…beating Killjoy, beating champions like Flip and Marcu$ $t. John but I have under performed by my own standards…but what a way to right the ship…can you imagine it Tommy…me, Xavier Reid defying the odds and running the table from the 1 spot to walk out of here tonight the NEW EWC Undisputed Champion…how that would piss off so many people around here…see that’s what’s driving me…

Tommy smiles at the idea.

Reid: I get it, people are betting on people like Melody to defy the odds or for someone like Ace or Killjoy to once again win the Rumble…for Dominic Sanders to come back and win the championship after being away from the spot…or for any one of these up and comers like Marcu$ or Darna Dare to come out of nowhere to reach up and grab the brass ring…nobody is counting on Xavier Reid and that’s just how I want it…I want to be that snake in the grass that bits you and kills you because you aren’t looking down but too busy looking up at the prize…I want to do this the hard way so that NOBODY can say I got lucky…I want my 2nd championship run to be UNDISPUTED, having gone through each and every one of the other 29 people in this match…I want to make history…

Xavier’s smile widens.

Reid: To do what Eddie Crank couldn’t, what Dominic Sanders couldn’t…what Jordan Sharpe couldn’t…to come in #1 and win the damn Rumble like Jay Cee did…tonight it’s about once again making EWC History and winning the one thing that’s eluded me Tommy…I was once a threat in this match and for some reason I’ve underachieved in the Rumble the last two times I’ve been in it…well that ends tonight…tonight I will walk out to that ring 1st, #1 and I’ll fight through the other 29 people that make that walk until I’m the only one left and when they hand me that championship I’ll hold it up high and proud knowing that the odds were stacked against me and yet I overcame it all…tonight I make history Tommy…and you’ll have a front row seat…

Xavier smirks and slaps Tommy on the shoulder as he exits The Love Club locker room, before we cut back to ringside for our main event of the evening...the EWC RUMBLE!

We return to ringside where the ring has been cleared and prepared for tonight’s Main Event. The fans are at a fever pitch, chanting and cheering. The camera pans around the fans in England to show some of the signs they’ve made up to help cheer on their favorite EWC Superstars.

WE’RE ALL IN ON ACE

SONYA IS THE CUTEST!

Sanders is the GOAT

Onihime

God Save the Queen

KEEM DON'T MISS.

I WANT JACK TO JACK ME OFF!

My Money is on M$J

I'm a Bastard Too

Marcus Woo is on his feet clapping and cheering with the fans before sitting back down to take us into the Main Event.

Woo: These fans are just something else. Listen to them, they are excited for what’s to come, and what a treat this show has been already.

Gomez: We’ve had quite the performance here tonight from our EWC Superstars and our Main Event is ready to .. well I’d say blow the roof off but we’re in a stadium, so I guess you could say the roof has already been blown off.

Woo: It’s not a retractable stadium Val ..

Gomez: There are a few changes to this years EWC Rumble Main Event. This year only thirty EWC Superstars were invited to compete in the Rumble compared to forty last Rumble. Also, since this is the special twenty-fifth anniversary of the EWC, there are Hall of Famers competing in the Rumble tonight, three to be exact. Then of course is the biggest change to the format, the change that rocked the Wrestling world last year when it was announced .. The EWC Undisputed Champion will be entering the Rumble and the Championship will be on the line!

Woo: This is of course a call back to the first few EWC Rumbles, where the EWC Undisputed Championship was on the line. Of course in years past, the winner of the Rumble would go onto headline WrestleFest. As of this year, that honor now comes via winning the Insanity Cage match at Night of Champions. So El Pablo has his ticket to WrestleFest thanks to his incredible win at NOC XIX just last month.

Gomez: The only entrant numbers we know for certain are our first and second entrants, which are Xavier Reid and Ace King. 

Woo: Ace King is in some incredible company when it comes to entering second. Jay Cee, in both 2007 & 2013 entered number 2 out of 30, and went on to win the Rumble both years, 2013 being a shared win with Xplode. Also, as recently as last year, Melody Malone entered 2nd and also went on to win the EWC Rumble, again shared with Killjoy and Moxie. So the number two spot has some solid history behind it. To me knowledge, no one has ever won from the number one entry spot. So it will be a tough task for Xavier Reid if he plans to last to the end. 

Gomez: Speaking of tough tasks, what a task Queen Melody Malone has tonight. She enters this match as our EWC Undisputed Champion, but she has a giant ass target on her back, and twenty-nine other Superstars looking to toss her over at one point or another. When will the Queen enter? How long will she last? We’re about to find out. The EWC Rumble Main Event .. starts .. now!

The fans cheer wildly as Nina Dobrev stands in the middle of the ring, ready to announce the Main Event.

Dobrev: Welcome to the EWC Rumble Main Event, the Thirty-Person Rumble. After our first two entrants, there will be another entrant every 45 seconds until the 30th and final EWC Superstar comes out. To eliminate an opponent, they must go over the top-rope and with both feet touching the floor. The winner of the EWC Rumble is the last wrestler remaining after all others have been eliminated. The winner of tonight’s Rumble will also be our EWC Undisputed Champion! Joining us first .. being accompanied to the ring by 'The Memphis Mouthpiece' Tommy Love, from New York, weighing in at 220 pounds ... He is one half of the EWC World Tag Team Champions .. XAVIER REID!

The spotlights inside the arena start to flash around the crowd as 'Papercut' starts to play out. Xavier Reid walks out onto the stage in his black trunks, kickpads and boots, his hands wrapped in black tape with the EWC World Tag Team Championship around his waist and following him out is ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love. He walks to the front of the stage and crosses his arms into an X in front of his chest and smirks as Tommy follows from behind and acts as if he’s going to hit the camera with the ‘Love Stick’. Tommy points to the ring as Xavier unhooks the EWC World Tag Team Championship and hands it to Tommy who raises it into the air as Xavier walks towards the ring shadow boxing as he makes his way down the aisle. Xavier storms up the steps and climbs into the ring, Tommy follows suit. Xavier storms across the ring to the opposite corner and jumps to the middle rope and looks over the crowd and once again crosses his arms into an X.

Xavier jumps down and squats down in the corner waiting for his opponent.

"THE ACE OF SPADES! THE ACE OF SPADES!!!"

The signature Motorhead anthem rips through Wembley Stadium and the crowd starts cheering. As the drums kick in, pyro goes off up and down the ramp. Once the guitars hit, a plume of fire goes up on either side of the ramp as Ace King rises to the stage from a platform, looking out at the crowd and nodding in appreciation.

Dobrev: And his first opponent, making his way to the ring, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 235 pounds... He THE GAMBLER... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!

A thin smile crosses Ace's face as his weathered eyes look out at the crowd, pausing for a few more seconds on the platform before casually making his way down the ramp toward the ring, his arms outstretched for fans on either side of the barricade. He stops a few steps short of the ring, then dives in under the bottom rope as red pyro explodes off each turnbuckle. Ace spins up to one knee, then takes another appreciative look out at the crowd before getting back to his feet and turning his attention to Xavier Reid, his game face firmly on.

Woo: Here go folks! It’s Rumble time .. RING .. THAT .. BELL!

DING! DING! DING!

The bell sounds and Ace King taps his fists together as if to say it’s go time. Xavier Reid and Ace King close in on each other in the middle of the ring and begin to circle each other, both waiting for the other to make his first move.

Before either men even lock up a chant of Ace! Breaks out all around the stadium

ACE!

ACE!

ACE!

ACE!

Ace smirks as Reid rolls his eyes before charging towards King. Ace blocks the first punch and counters a punch followed by a headbutt which sends Xavier Reid backwards a little, just enough for Ace King to catch him with Full House!!!

Woo: That was the roundhouse kick heard round the world! Wow

YOU’VE STILL GOT IT!

YOU’VE STILL GOT IT!

YOU’VE STILL GOT IT!

Chants break out again as Ace tries not to allow the chants to get to his head. Tommy Love grabs at Aces feet and trips him up. Two of the refs see this and order Tommy to leave the area. Ace is on his knees looking to get up quickly, but he is caught with a vicious kick to the head from a running Xavier Reid.

YOU’RE A BASTARD!

YOU’RE A BASTARD!

YOU’RE A BASTARD!

Gomez: Xavier Reid gets some help from Tommy Love but now Tommy is on the refs radar and will need to be more creative to help out.

The clock hits 0 and the fans are on their feet eager to see who is coming out next .. while Xavier Reid catches Ace King with the Rainham Maker coming off the ropes.

ENTRANT #3 – JACK SEVERN

Boos begin to reign down as Jack Severn of EWC PRIME makes his way down the ramp. He smirks and gives a number of screaming fans the middle finger.

Woo: Jack Severn, always making enemies. He is out here representing EWC Prime in the number 3 spot. The last person to win from the number 3 spot is hardcore legend, Shadow Man, who won the EWC Rumble back in 2015. 

The Milwaukee native slides into the ring, pushes Reid out of the way and begins to attack Ace King with a running European Uppercut into the corner. Jack is unloading on Ace King until Reid comes from behind and pulls Jack off. Jack pushes Reid again and turns back to face Ace who kicks Jack in the mid-section and then drops him with a DDT

Gomez: Ace King and Jack Severn really don’t like each other!

Woo: Severn almost ended Ace Kings career earlier this summer, you don’t forget a concussion .. well .. I guess sometimes you.

Ace King and Jack Severn continue to trade blows while Xavier Reid is just leaning against the ropes pretending to eat popcorn while watching on.
The clock hits zero once again and all eyes are on the rampway to see who comes out next!

ENTRANT #4 – CHELSEA SKYE

Woo: Monday Night Brawl’s own Chelsea Skye is the 4th entrant here tonight. She’s only 23 years-old, lets see what the youngster can do here tonight.

Ace King with a powerbomb and sends Jack Severn hard to the mat. Reid pretends to throw his bucket of popcorn away and joins Ace King as they both grab Severn and attempt to toss him over the ropes. Chelsea climbs between the ropes and enters the ring. She debates what to do and decides to try and help Ace and Reid but Jack Severn with a headbutt to Ace King, who stumbles back enough that Jack gets an arm free and lands a right punch to Reid’s jaw who falls back into Skye.

Skye takes advantage and hits Reid with back-to-back drop kicks which sends him through the ropes and out of the ring.

Let's Go Chelsea!

Let's Go Chelsea!

Let's Go Chelsea!

Gomez: Chelsea making a name for herself early on here as Reid took a nasty fall outside of the ring.

Woo: As the replay showed, Reid went through the middle ropes and not over the top. So, he’s still in this thing and will need to get himself back into the ring.

Jack Severn and Ace King are tied up in the corner while Chelsea soaks in the cheers from fans. Xavier Reid is back to his feet and is circling the outside of the ring. The clock now his zero and fans turn their attention to the entrance to see who is going come running out next!

ENTRANT #5 – PHOENIX WINTERBORN

Woo: He is back, Phoenix Winterborn is back on Friday Night Rampage with a bone to pick with Mr Duggan himself. Seems like that’s all he talks about these days.

Gomez: Killjoy, who co-won the last Rumble, was entrant #5 last year. Phoenix hoping spot #5 will pave the same path for him.

Phoenix comes running down to the ring, slides in and immediately hits Ace King from behind. Phoenix nods at Severn and Severn reluctantly nods back and the two begin to take turns punching and kicking Ace King. Xaiver Reid rolls into the ring and breaks up the 2 on 1 fest but Phoenix with a strong clothesline that sends Reid towards Chelsea who his Reid with another drop kick!

Woo: Reid is going to have a massive migraine after this match tonight .. which brings us to one of the nights sponsors, Motrin. When a 5 foot nothing drop kicks you three times, that’s Motrin pain.

Winterborn and Severn are working away on Ace King who is doing his best to stay in the ring. Chelsea looks to join in on the fun but Reid comes from behind, and knees Chelsea in the back, then sets her up for DDT! Reid then grabs Chelsea by the hair and sends her flying up and over the ropes!

Woo: As many may remember, Moxie came out in the 9th spot last season and made it all the way to end, winning last years Rumble with Killjoy and Queen Malone. Can Ruthann pull it off this year coming in at that same number?

As Ruthann approaches the ring Jack Severn is on one knee outside the ring, wincing in pain. Ruthann offers to help Jack stand, Jack accepts but then immediately hits her with not one, not two but THREE knife edge chops, with Ruth now down, Jack pounces on her and locks her into LAST BREATH!

Jack Severn just delivered Dead, Dead, and Deader on Xavier Reid! Dominic Sanders and Ace King meanwhile have teamed up against Moxie. Sour Candy and Melody Malone are tied up. Lavender, Mercenary, Gabi-V and Darna Dare are in a tussle with M$J, Scorpio and Killjoy.

Jack Severn heads over to Reid and props him up against the ropes. Jack ties up Reid’s arms in the ropes and then steps onto the bottom rope as he begins punching Reid in the face. Narumi and Aiya see this, lock hands and send Jack Severn over the top rope with a double running clothesline.

Jack flips up and over and hits the ground hard.

JACK SEVERN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: Down goes the big bad man of the Rumble. The man who made an enemy of almost everyone here, has finally reached his end, thanks to Aiya and Narumi. That next PRIME show should be an interesting one.

Gomez: Jack Severn lasted a long time in that ring, coming in at 3rd and proving he can take and give a beating. He showed he had the endurance.

Jadyn Keem looks to add to his eliminations as he now has Gabrielle Visconty against the ropes, but Darna Dare comes in with the save and pulls Jadyn off of Gabi-V. Jadyn isn’t happy and drills Darna with a powerful clothesline but Gabi-V with an elbow to the back and then an Irish Whip into the corner followed by a handspring back elbow smash to the face.

Dominic Sanders with a spinebuster on Moxie! Melody Malone with a standing dropkick on Sour Candy!

Gabi-V has Jadyn Keem against the ropes, she hits him with a few spinning elbows and then a European uppercut. Jadyn is fully dazed now and Gabi-V grabs his feet and flips him over the top but Jadyn lands right on apron, still dazed. Gabi-V can’t believe it so she runs and hits Jadyn with a springboard superman punch to knock him off the apron and onto the floor!

JADYN KEEM HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: Wow, down goes Jadyn Keem. He showed some flashes of brilliance in the ring today and Paramount has signed themselves a superstar in the making!

Visconty, tired is resting against the ropes, when she turns around, she is met with a boot from Sour Candy. Gabi-V bounces off the ropes and is caught by Killjoy who slams her hard to the mat. Killjoy and Sour Candy both get Visconty to her feet, and both send her flying to the ropes where Narumi bends over and flips Visconty up and over the ropes!

GABRIELLE VISCONTY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: I don’t believe what I just saw. Sour Candy, Killjoy and Narumi just all worked in unison to eliminate one of the favorites in this match. Wow.

Mercenary has Aiya almost out of the ring when Narumi races across the ring for the save. Aiya is dazed on the ropes and here comes M$J who hits Aiya with a Death Valley Driver on the ropes and Aiya bounces off, over and onto the outside!

“HEADHUNTRESS” AIYA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: Wow, another huge shocker. Aiya, a big time favorite to win it all tonight is eliminated.

Gomez: What a performance out of Visconty and Aiya tonight. Both proved they have what it takes but just some bad luck for both.

Darna Dare with a spinning heel kick on M$J and he’s over the ropes and out of the ring!

Woo: WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED??

MARCU$ $T JOHN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Gomez: The instant replay just that Marcu$ was just turning around and Darna caught him perfectly square in the jaw and sent him over the ropes. Marcu$ had no idea she was there.

Marcu$ is laying on the ground and he can’t believe what just happened.

Woo: The EWC North American Champ was looking so damn good, I can’t believe it. This is a shocker.

Scropio and Killjoy are now tangled up. Reid, Ace King, Moxie, and Mercenary are battling along the ropes. Narumi, Lavender, Sour Candy and Melody Malone are all grouped together fighting it out. Narumi, Sour Candy and Lavender working hard to try and eliminate the queen.

Dominic Sanders heads to help out Melody Malone but Darna Dare kicks him from behind. As Dare tries to kick again Sanders grabs her leg, Darna tries to spin out but Sanders picks her up and slams her hard to the mat. Sanders then hits her with an inverted atomic drop. Sanders then sends Dare to the ropes and follows her with a big boot that sends Darna onto the ropes. Sanders finishes Darna by picking her up and throwing her over the ropes.

DARNA DARE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: The Hall of Famer takes out Darna Dare who was having a very strong performance.

Gomez: Darna Dare proved a lot of critics wrong here tonight and showed she can handle the big stage.

Xavier Reid and Killjoy are working together trying to get Mercenary over the top. Ace King comes in to help but Moxie pulls him off and the two exchange punches in the middle of the ring. Lavender sees Killjoy and Reid trying to get Mercenary over, she goes to help but she is tripped up by Sour Candy who sends Lavender flying into Mercenary giving the extra push Reid and Killjoy needed to get him over.

MERCENARY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Lavender is not happy with herself, and she’s caught off guard by Moxie who delivers a roundhouse kick to Lavender. He then picks Lavender up by her hair and slaps her into a snap German suplex over the ropes

LAVENDER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: NO FREAKING WAY! The EWC United States Champion has just been eliminated but the HBO Champion!

Gomez: This is a big time shocker right here. Lavender eliminated. Wow.

Woo: Only 9 remain!

Sour Candy is about to eliminate Melody Malone! She has her over the ropes and Melody is hanging on for dear life!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

Sanders and Ace King to the rescue, they pull Melody back into the ring and Sour Candy immediately attacks Ace King. Ace King catches her with a kick to the stomach and then a knee to the head. Candy spins around and Sanders is waiting and nails Sour Candy with RIPTIDE!!!
Scorpio catches Sanders with a boot to the head. Now Narumi, Reid, Killjoy and Moxie are all in a battle in that corer with Scorpio and Sanders. Melody Malone is recovering at the side of the ring, which leaves the downed Sour Candy open for Ace King. Ace grabs Sour Candy and brings her over to the ropes. He props her up on the ropes and clotheslines her over and out of the ring.

SOUR CANDY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: Oh my goodness. Sour Candy has been eliminated. She was outstanding tonight and almost had Melody Malone out of the ring. We almost had a new Undisputed Champion. This is insane!

Gomez: Wait a minute, what’s going on!!!

Killjoy is almost over the ropes. Melody Malone, Ace King and Dominic Sanders have him almost over. Killjoy is punching and clawing trying to keep from going over. Melody and Ace each have a leg and Sanders is pushing with all his might, he finally says screw it and headbutts Killjoy several times until both Killjoy and Sanders are busted open. It’s enough as the three of them are able to eliminate Killjoy!

KILLJOY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: I .. I have no words. Killjoy has been eliminated. I’m shocked right now.

Moxie tries to sneak up and eliminate Sanders but Sanders counters with a big boot to the face. Ace King and Melody Malone then go to work trying to get Moxie out of the ring.

Scorpio sees an opening and hits a low blow shot on Sanders. Followed by a roundhouse kick. Sanders is down. Scorpio then gets him up and AGR!!! Sanders is now flat on his back and he’s out! Scropio gets Sanders back to his feet and props him against the ropes. Narumi is there now also and Scorpio and Narumi both nod to each other. It’s a double round house kick to Sanders and he’s over the top!

DOMINIC SANDERS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: What in the hell is happening right now?!?

Gomez: I am floored. Not only is Sanders eliminated, but Scorpio and Narumi worked together to pull it off.

Woo: What a return for Sanders. He showed zero signs of ring rust and was spectacular tonight!

Melody Malone comes at Narumi now. The two battle it out in the corner. Moxie just dropped Xavier Reid with Moxie's Endgame!! Reid is laying on the mat, breathing heavily and not moving much else at all. Scorpio with a Hurricanrana on Ace King!

Moxie sees Scorpio dragging Ace King to the ropes, and joins in. Moxie grabs Ace’s legs and Scorpio has his upper body. They prop him onto the ropes and flip him over but Ace manages to hang on with one hand, very awkwardly. He’s trying to get himself back up but Moxie and Scorpio are kicking at Ace, stomping at him, kicking him and finally Ace lets go and lands on the outside.

ACE KING HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: What a night for Ace King. He was a bloody warrior in that ring tonight. Lasting all the way from second till now. Just unbelievable!

ACE!

ACE!

ACE!

ACE!

ACE!

ACE!

The fans continue to chant and cheer for Ace King as he makes his way back up the ramp, in disbelief that his night is over.
Moxie’s celebration is quickly ruined as Scorpio turns on the short term alliance and hits Moxie with a DDT. Reid is now back to his feet and he stumbles over to Moxie and Scorpio. Scorpio and Reid have words and together. Reid backs up a bit and then it’s a running punt Kick to Moxie’s head! Reid and Scorpio then get Moxie up, in identical fashion as how Ace King was carried, but this time Reid and Scorpio swing him one, two, three up and over the ropes and to the ground!

MOXIE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: I don’t believe it, two of last years join winners are gone. Moxie has been eliminated.

Gomez: How does Scorpio keep getting people to team with him?

Woo: Anything for the Championship. It’s a different time. Undisputed on the line.

Gomez: Moxie was downright almost unstoppable tonight. He looked as tough as they come. He put on a show.

Xavier Reid now with the boot to the mid-section of Scorpio!

Woo: Reid wasn’t going to fall for this trap, he turns on Scorpio before Scorpio could turn on him!

Narumi and Malone see that Reid is attempting to eliminate Scorpio and decide to put the fists down and work to eliminate Scorpio all together. Scorpio is not going over without a fight. Narumi is throwing punches at Scorpio. Reid decides to back up and runs at Scorpio attempting to clothesline him but Reid’s momentum takes him over the ropes but he manages to grab hold of the ropes and slides back under and back into the ring.

Reid decides to try once again with the running clothesline and this time connects while keeping his balance, Scorpio goes over but he takes Narumi over the top with him! Narumi and Scorpio both go over the top!

SCORPIO AND NARUMI TSUTSUMI HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED!

Woo: OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

At that very moment Melody Malone grabs Reid’s legs and she flips him over the ropes! Xavier Reid goes over and lands on the outside!

XAVIER REID HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Gomez: She did it! Oh my goodness she did it!

Melody Malone drops to her knees and celebrates the victory

Woo: Wait, where is the bell?

Gomez: You’re right, there hasn’t been a bell!!

Narumi never touched the ground with her feet! She held onto the bottom rope and never touched the ground. Narumi lifts herself up and slowly slides back into the ring!

Woo: MELODY TURN AROUND!!!!

Melody notices the commotion from the fans and turns around only to be hit with a roundhouse kick! Now Narumi gets Melody back to her feet and hits her with Onigokko!!!!

Woo: I don’t believe it. For a moment we thought Melody had won but Narumi is finally about to do it! She is finally going to be Indysputed!!!!

Narumi gets Melody up once again and this time hits her with Paymon!!! Narumi is now laying on the mat breathing heavily. Melody Malone is not moving at all. Narumi gets up, the fans are really on their feet now and are chanting

Oh-Nee-Hee-May!

Oh-Nee-Hee-May!

Oh-Nee-Hee-May!

Oh-Nee-Hee-May!

Narumi gets Melody to her feet, and then props Melody up onto her shoulder! The fans are screaming and chanting

Oh-Nee-Hee-May!

Oh-Nee-Hee-May!

Oh-Nee-Hee-May!

Narumi charges towards the ropes and attempts to flip Melody Malone over the top .. but .. Melody grabs hold of the top rope and pulls down with all her weight and Narumi’s momentum takes her over the top rope and to the outside. Melody Malone hangs on and never touches the ground!!! Melody Malone slides herself back into the ring!

Woo: IT’S OVER!!! SHE DID IT!!! MELODY MALONE DID IT!!!!

NARUMI TSUTSUMI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

DING! DING! DING!

Dobrev: The winner of the EWC Rumble XIX and STILL EWC Undisputed Champion .. Queen Melody Malone!

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

Melody Malone lays in the middle of the ring as the EWC Undisputed Championship is placed on-top of her. Confetti begins to shoot off from all over the stadium and it reigns down on her as she breathes heavily.

Woo: What an amazing finish. A roller coaster ending. She won, she didn’t, Narumi looked like she was going to win, she didn’t and now finally, the Queen has indeed held on to win, her THIRD EWC Rumble. What a career.

Rory is now in the ring with Melody, as they celebrate together. Rory holds a mic for Melody who is still laying down on the mat

Melody Malone: I have proven for MONTHS… that I am the Dreamslayer. I outlasted everyone, just like I said I would. Anyone who didn’t expect me to walk out tonight as your EWC Undisputed champion was blinded by their own ambition. And since ol’ Liz kicked off? I think its time for a proper coronation of YOUR QUEEN!

After she says that - Rory’s goes to christen her with her crown… but it snaps! The moment it touched her head the crown broke!

Gomez: Well, that was strange

Woo: Maybe she’s outgrown the crown or something. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

The fans have mixed emotions over the crown breaking and even Melody looks a bit concerned but the confetti continue to fall, and pyros go off. Fireworks then shoot off all around the outside of the stadium.

Woo: Everyone – this was an incredible night. Thank you for being part of this EWC Rumble XIX. From all of us here in England, we wish you all a good night and see you next time!

The scene fades with Rory and Melody still in the ring, making snow angles in the confetti as it falls and “You Should See Me In A Crown” blasts over the speakers.
