While 'No Sleep Tonight' by Shinedown blares over the loudspeakers at every location, a multi colored lightshow lights up the sky in a display that gets the fans screaming the EWC PRIME namesake. Brilliant blue spotlights swirl over the cheering crowds, whipping them up into a near-frenzy of excitement at the show to come.
Cameras flash all around the arena as the EXT cycles through Prime's roster. Dalilah Ashe,"Headhuntress" Aiya, Saidie Sharpe, Terry Kilgore, The House Hunters, Bruce Booth, Harper Mason, Ahiga Lopez, Sunny Skye, Jack Severn, Aeon Khronos, Marquis Hathaway, NEVAEH, Scorpio, Gabi Vee, Narumi Tsutsumi, EWC Tag-Team Champions The Heat Packers, AMC Broadcast Champion RMK And The Indy Champion Callie Clark are all featured. Lastly, we see a smiling Jordan Sharpe put his feet up on his desk.
After one final pan over the crowd, we get some shots of a few of the signs being held up by the fans ..
HUNT US A TITLE WIN, AIYA!
JACK SEVERN IS MY GOOD FRIEND
NEVAEH AIN'T CLOWNIN' AROUND!
CALLIE CLARK WILL NEVER BE MY PRIME MINISTER!
MAKE SAIDIE YOUR BITCH NARUMI
WE'LL MISS YOU SCORPIO
The camera centers on ringside at the United Center as the fans stand up, pumping their fists and cheering. One last round of fireworks blast out now, and we turn our attention to Eric Mason and John Livingston ..
Mason: Ladies and gentlemen! Can you believe it's time for our PRIME finale already?! Unbelievable! We're here LIVE from Arthur Ashe Stadium and this place is rocking! Jordan Sharpe was not kidding when he said this card is Pay-Per-View worthy! My colleague John Livingston is here by my side ready to call all the action as always, and we've brought back our third analyst here tonight, Phil Brooks! Phil, how's it going? Happy to have you on the call with us again here in NYC!
Brooks: I'm back again! This is wild! Happy to see you and all the EWC faithful here tonight for a stacked PRIME show. What's on the agenda boys?
Livingston: Wait, sorry, Eric, did you just say 'hell?' That's surprisingly bold of you. What a card we've got here tonight big guy. Holy HELL.
Mason: Well we're gonna start this one off with a singles contest between two superstars who need to get back to their winning ways. Harper Mason takes on Bruce Booth in that opening bout. We'll follow that one up with a title fight! Headhuntress Aiya challenges Mark Keaton for the AMC Broadcast Championship, it'll be the last time that title is up for grabs as the winner will go to WrestleFest to compete for the newly returned EWC Television Championship!
Livingston: Damn that's some big stakes. After that our cameras are going to go over to the empty Manhattan Center, where we used to have our finales and and old grudge is brought back to life as NEVAEH takes on Stitches. Can't wait to see how much blood is shed in that bad boy. After that we've got the Undisputed Champion Xavier Reid taking Scorpio one final time in Scorpio's FINAL Prime match. That is definitely special.
Brooks: I'll tell you when you're telling lies, John, that's a huge match no kidding. After that we've got the PRIME Minister Necklace up for grabs as Narumi Tsutsumi takes on the Indy Champion Callie Clark for the first time EVER. Both of these ladies already have opponents lurking for WrestleFest as Narumi gears up to try to win the Undisputed title back and Callie aims to defend the Indy title against Dalilah Ashe. Speaking of which, they'll be having a contract signing tonight after our main event.
Mason: Our main event is also not a match to be slept on gentlemen, as Melody Malone herself is in the building and seeks to show Jack Severn just how much of a GOOD friend he really is! All that and more, including giving out some PRIME Awards for 2023! What a season finale we've got!
Livingston: Im ready to get this show on the road baby!
Mason: Why don't we throw it to EWC TV and then do just that! What do you say, Phil?
Brooks: I'd say ... It's clobberin' time!
John gives Eric a huge pat on the back as we fade to the EWCTV commercial

We return to ringside where it's time to kick things off with our opening contest!
Mason: Alright everyone it's almost time to get this Season Finale going! But before we do, we wanted to take a moment to show respect to a former Undisputed, United States, Tag-Team, Broadcast and of course, Indy Champion. A future first ballot Hall of Famer, Scorpio is leaving us here on PRIME after tonight's match with Xavier Reid and heading off into retirement. Before we get to Harper Vs Bruce, let's take a look at this ....
The tron flashes into life with a black and white image of Scorpio displaying ‘2007-2023’, yes, he is that dramatic. It cuts to his first match on Rampage with a victory over Alpha Wolf, before flashing through his nine-match win streak and war with the Shieldmaidens. We see the formation of ReBelle alongside Georgie Nickles and their victory to become EWC Tag Team Champions at Hardcore Revolution 2019. The Insanity Cage comes into scene at one of Scorpio’s most pivotal moments where he comes within inches of the Undisputed Championship before falling through the burning tables. We then see his descent into conspiracy theories and madness as he begins his heel turn, taking on some of the best in the EWC (including his now main rival Melody Malone), before ending 777 and becoming the United States Champion at WrestleFest.
We open with the introduction of the 46th President as Scorpio begins his golden year of the EWC. We see him retain the United States Championship and win the Undisputed Championship in the same night, before going on to lose the United States Championship to an up-and-coming Samantha Hamilton later in the year. We see Scorpio’s unexpected defeat at Night of Champions losing the Undisputed Championship to Xavier Reid, before his loss to Reid at the Rumble sees him set sights on Presidency of the EWC. The tron shows us his war with President Mac including curb-stomping his wife into the arena car park to finally goad Mac into a contest. Finally we see Scorpio lose at WrestleFest where he is fired from the EWC.
And thus begins his Prime career as a limo pulls up on the first Prime of 2021 with the all classic Louboutin boot stepping out. We see his reign of terror in the “independent gutter trash” as he wins the SHO Broadcast Championship and takes on Narumi Tsutsumi multiple times throughout 2021 and 2022 coming up short in his aim to become Indy Champion. We see him form an alliance with Dalilah Ashe, the pair looking to take over Prime and rule as a dynasty. Finally with a sixth defence of the Prime Minister necklace under his belt he claims the Indy Championship at WrestleFest 2022.
We then see his 2023 journey as he begins to realise his descent into darkness and claws his way back bit by bit. The loss of the Indy Championship humbles him as he looks to his legacy in professional wrestling and realises the man he had become was not the man he wanted to be. We see him announce his retirement with a campaign across the entire EWC, before finally the video ends on the graphic of he and Melody Malone side by side, ready for the Insanity Cage at WrestleFest…
Mason: It’s been a hell of a career for Scorpio, and no matter what you think of him, you’ve gotta respect what he’s achieved.
Brooks: Well tonight he gets one last match against long term rival Xavier Reid, and in just a few short weeks he will climb into the structure that defined his time in the EWC to take on the woman he sparred with throughout his years here… will it be a fairytale ending for one of the most fabulous wrestlers out there?
Livingston: Okay, Scorpio is a damn legend. That much is true. Let's get this thing going.
Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, residing in Las Vegas, Nevada and weighing in at 125 pounds... HARPER MASON!
The intro to "New Divide" by Jonathon Young hits the speakers and when the lyrics kick in Harper emerges from the back ready for battle, she slaps hands with the fans on the way to the ring before entering.
Reid: And the opponent, residing in The Hollywood Hills and weighing in at 220 pounds... BRUCE BOOTH!
As 'Burn In My Light''s unmistakable intro sounds throughout the venue, the fans turn their head toward the entranceway, and out comes the superstar (at least in his own mind) with chiseled supermodel looks (at least in his own mind) and a superhero body (at least in his own mind), who stops a few feet out from the curtain. Without hesitating, he throws his arms up in the air and holds his chin high, posturing tall as gold pyro rains behind him, painting an image of an undeniable sensation. Letting it breathe for a few seconds, Bruce then takes to the ring, his eyes shooting to a few fans offering their thoughts of him in the form of obscene finger gestures and even worse comments-- but he does his best to pay it no mind. As Booth heads in, he ascends the second turnbuckle and raises his arms once again- this time in a slow, graceful motion, almost like a shot straight out of a movie. He closes his eyes, living in the moment, instead of having to look at the fans, and steps down from the second rope, but never quite leaves that moment of self-absorption, as his music is cut off.
DING DING DING
Harper grabs Booth’s arm and pulls herself into a hurricanrana that sends Booth rolling across the ring. He gets to his feet but Harper smacks Booth with a roundhouse kick to the gut and a heel to the side of the head dropping him to the mat. As Booth pulls himself to his feet, Harper slips to the middle turnbuckle. She leaps spinning Booth with a tornado DDT. Harper makes a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Booth lifts an arm up off the mat breaking the count. Booth pulls himself to his feet. Harper runs at him for a lariat but Booth drops her over the top rope with a stun gun. Harper staggers into a neckbreaker by Booth. He drags Harper to her feet and drives her to the mat with a brainbuster. Booth rolls over and makes a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Harper just manages to lift a shoulder off the mat to break the count.
Mason: Harper with the shoulder up!
Livingston: Booth is just toying with her here Eric, don't get too excited buddy.
Brooks: Credits ain't rolling yet, John!
Booth pulls Harper to her feet and tosses her through the ropes. He keeps hold of her and drags Harper back through the ropes dropping her to the mat with a Hangman’s DDT. Booth rolls her over and hooks the leg.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Harper gets a foot onto the bottom rope to break the count. She rolls to the apron to shake some cobwebs. Booth reaches through the ropes and tries to drag Harper back into the ring, possibly for another Hangman’s DDT. However Harper grabs Booth and drops him down onto the top rope. Booth springs backward clutching his throat. Harper rolls into the ring hitting a Masonline Special. She hooks the leg.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Booth rolls to his side breaking the count.
Mason: That bell should be ringing!
Brooks: I guess it's not time for Booth to go to sleep here yet tonight!
Livingston: He ain't done yet boys.
Harper gets to her feet she waits as Booth pulls himself to his. She runs and cracks him with a knee lift. Harper leaps to complete The Breakdown. Instead she jumps into a Director’s Cut out of almost nowhere. Booth rolls her over and hooks the leg as the referee counts.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall... BRUCE BOOTH!!!Mason: From the jaws of defeat, from… I don’t even know where from, Bruce Booth pulls out the victory! He’ll be grinning that Hollywood smile for the rest of the off season.
Livingston: I told you guys. There IS no post credit scene with this one. It's OVER.
Brooks: Lemme guess John, The House always wins.
Livingston: How'd you know I was gonna say that?
Booth ascends the second turnbuckle and raises his arms once again- this time in a slow, graceful motion, almost like a shot straight out of a movie. He closes his eyes, living in the moment, instead of having to look at the fans, and steps down from the second rope, but never quite leaves that moment of self-absorption.
Mason: Harper put up a great fight tonight, one of the best I've seen from her. She's close to breaking through.
Brooks: Hell of a fight. She'll turn it around in 2024.
Livingston: 2024 will belong to BRUCE BOOTH here on PRIME!
The camera cuts to ...
In a dark hallway, off the main corridor in the locker room area of the Arthur Ashe Stadium, a very different individual named Ashe awaits her opportunity to strike. Beside her, standing like a living shadow, Bedlam Briggs acts as a sentry watching her back. He sees the camera crew coming before Dalilah knows they're there. Becoming a human blockade he steps to stand between Dalilah and the camera. Stepping around him Dalilah puts a hand of restraint on the broad chest of the human watchtower.
Dalilah Ashe: Now Bedlam, don't be rude. These boys were expected.
Reaching out of frame she tousles the hair of the Camera Guy, who she hadn't seen since night of her party in Chicago before her match with Scorpio.
Dalilah: Poor Boy, did the big, nasty man scare you? Don't worry darling, he won't hurt you as long as Mommy Dearest is here.
She rubs his cheek, before slapping him to follow up the sweet with some sour. Stepping back Dalilah stares into the camera.
Dalilah: Here tonight, in a stadium that shares my last name, Jordan Sharpe was too afraid of what I might do to grant me a match on the card. Instead, he's got me back here with my tits in my hands, waiting to be summoned to some stupid, arbitrary contract signing that everybody knows is going to end in a good, old fashioned, EWC clusterfuck.
She licks her lips in anticipation at being face to face with Callie Clark. Gradually she begins to pout with a very disturbing level of intensity.
Dalilah: But it's not fair. Callie gets to play with Narumi and I'm just expected to stay all bored up in my room until someone comes to get me. Dalilah has to be a good girl. Dalilah has to stay quiet. Out of sight. Out of mind. Seen and not heard. I'm not supposed to speak until I'm spoken to.
Her face gets flushed as her rage grows with every bitter word that comes out of her mouth.
Dalilah: Jordan Sharpe wants to use me as just another sacrificial victim to serve up to Callie Clark to appease The House so he doesn't have to face the wrath of JoJo Rush. But I don't plan to get fed to the beast without a fight. And I don't have any intention of being a good girl until they call me down for supper.
Turning to Bedlam she asks if the coast is clear. The gargantuan indicates in the affirmative. Grinning like a kid on Christmas Dalilah demands that the camera crew follow them as they move down the hall to stand out in front of one of the private dressing rooms along the corridor. On the door is a sign that reads: CALLIE CLARK. Dalilah again grins into the camera with ill intent.
Dalilah: Behind this door Callie has left all her precious possessions unprotected. While she and Tori are hanging out with the rest of The House in their locker room, she would never imagine that anyone would be crazy enough to mess with her stuff.
She offers the crowd a fear inducing smile that leaves none of her insanity to the imagination.
Dalilah: Miss Callie is the perfect shining star. She invests so much into her persona... her appearance... her costumes. I think tonight, when Miss Callie enters the spotlight here in Arthur Ashe Stadium to take on Narumi, she'll have to go out there without her armor. I think tonight, she'll have to do the one thing that she fears more than anything. Tonight, she'll have to walk out in front of the crowd dressed only as herself.
With no further explanation, Dalilah pushes into the darkness of Callie Clark's private dressing room and slams the door behind her ....
The camera cuts backstage inside Arthur Ashe Stadium where the Prime camera finds the EWC Undisputed Champion Xavier Reid alongside his manager, ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love. The two men look around at all the people dressed in their blue Prime shirts, Xavier looks over at Tommy and smiles…
Reid: So…how does it feel to be home…
Xavier tries not to laugh as Tommy’s shoulders sink a little…
Reid: What…it’s ok to admit that your time here in the EWC started right here on Prime…you made a name for yourself here as a top manager…guiding a then Killjoy Ito to the EWC TV Championship TWICE, the Indy Championship and the first ever Prime G1 Championship, I mean damn Tommy…you were out of the business…
Tommy raises his eyebrows at Xavier…
Reid: Ok, you were hiding out in Japan trying to avoid the people in Europe you stole money from when you were handing this young kid…you two were sent here and look what you did…you turned Killjoy Ito into a EWC Superstar and made yourself a household name once again…
Xavier pauses for a moment and then smirks…
Reid: I mean, pulling out your pecker at WrestleFest helped as well…I mean you were on every TV show I turned on for the next week but still…if it wasn’t for Prime and your time here the EWC might never know ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece' Tommy Love…
From off camera we hear the voice of Prime’s Joe Danes…
Danes: It makes you wonder, if we knew then what Tommy would become would Ben Moss have signed them…
Tommy smiles as the camera pulls back to see Prime’s backstage interview personality standing by with his own crew…
Love: Do you remember what the roster looked like back at Prime #023…seriously, The Sandown Kid, Criss Cassidy, Thomas Fabiano…Diabhal…
Danes: Candy, Stitches, El Pablo…Nevaeh…
Love: Christopher Chambers, Donnie Deco, Honey Hunt…
Danes: Trixie, Carlos Ruiz…
Xavier steps in between both men…
Reid: Ok now…
Love: Ben Moss was salivating when he was given the chance to sign ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love and bring him into Prime…the eyes I brought on this brand…I have been one of the MOST SUCCESSFUL Prime alumni, right up there with Killjoy, with Candy, with Stitches and with El Pablo…we all left Prime and succeeded on the EWC Main Brands and honestly Prime should have welcomed me back with some sort of montage but NO!!! Jordan Sharpe hates Tommy Love and that’s ok, because I’m walking back into this place as the manager of the EWC Undisputed Champion Xavier Reid and we are here to close out Scorpio’s Prime career with a loss…right out there on Center Court…see I’m a fan of Tennis Joe, I remember all the fans being so sad as Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick were eliminated right out there and had to wave their final goodbye to the fans after coming up short and that’s exactly what the former President and the former Prime Minister is going to have to do tonight…like those two he’s a shell of the champion he once was and sure…some will say Scorpio started to go downhill after he lost to Mac and was fired…when he was left with only the option of coming to Prime to live out his final days but the truth is it call came crashing down when this man…
Tommy points to Xavier Reid…
Love: Took that championship that rests on his shoulder off of Scorpio at Night of Champions in 2020…he backed that up by beating him again at the Rumble to defend that championship…something your own GM couldn’t do while he was champion…
Tommy smirks…
Love: Xavier Reid ended the reign of Scorpio and he was never the same again…spare me he went on to become the Showtime Broadcast Champion and the Indy Champion…Scorpio was used to living in ‘The White House’ and then had to cram himself into a one bedroom apartment that had rats…his downfall started at the hands of Xavier Reid and tonight, we come here to Prime to once and for all finish the job we started at the Power Struggle Match…
Tommy smiles as he looks at Xavier…
Reid: I’d be lying if I didn’t say I will forever be linked with Scorpio…I am the man whose name will forever be under his in the record book while his name will live on forever as being my successful defense during that run…it’s only fitting that the two of us are booked here tonight on the Season Finale of Prime in what will be Scorpio’s final Prime match…and I understand the opportunity that’s in front of me tonight…I get to be the guy that beats Scorpio on his final match on Prime…I get to send him off the regular season with another loss to Xavier Reid…I understand what that would mean to my own legacy…yes, he will have that final match against Melody Malone at WrestleFest but here on Prime…I will be forever known as the guy that ended Scorpio’s Prime career…it’s the feather of all feathers in a cap Joe…
Xavier smiles…
Reid: I’ve been watching him from afar…I saw what that loss to Lavender did to him…the acceptance that this…
Xavier holds up the EWC Undisputed Championship…
Reid: Will never be over his shoulder again…that when the chance was there he fell short…the man that ended Ace King’s 777 days as US Champion, the man that beat Melody Malone to end her Undisputed Championship reign…didn’t have what it took to win this back, to become the man he once was…and sure, it must eat away at him to see me…me, Xavier Reid, standing here with this championship…being the guy to do what he couldn’t…I’m sure it’s going to light a fire under his ass here tonight and that’s exactly what I want Joe…I don’t want the guy that got outsmarted and outplayed by a rookie in Cosmo Goldworthy…I want the guy beat Callie Clark, the guy that beat JoJo Rush…I want the guy that he once was and not the discount version of the most dominate man the EWC ever saw…because if he’s anything but that inside that ring tonight it’s going to be a short night out there for him Joe…I came here to Prime to send Scorpio off into retirement…how that happens is up to him…I’m not here for a storybook ending…the chance for him to get that final win and wave to the fans…no, I’m here to wreck those plans…to leave him in the middle of the ring in tears of how it all ended…tonight Scopio’s Prime career comes to an end but so does out rivalry…and I’ll be damned if it ends with a Scorpio win…
Xavier holds up the championship in the camera lens as it cuts away…
AMC BROADCAST CHAMPIONSHIP
Headhuntress Aiya
Vs RMK
BACONATOR BOUNTY: RMK
Match Writer: EWC Staff Assistant: Em
We return to ringside where we're getting ready for a big time title fight!
Brooks: Well that doesn't bode very well for Callie, Dalilah's got free reign of her locker room!
Mason: Our 'Golden Goddess' certainly isn't going to like that.
Livingston: SOMEONE CALL SECURITY, NO, THE POLICE!
Mason: Goodness, well, it's time to find out if the ... ugh ... 'Moist Beefcake' .. Mark Keaton can hang onto his AMC Broadcast Championship and bunch a ticket to WrestleFest!
Reid: The following match, set for one fall, is for the AMC Broadcast Championship. Joining us first, coming to the ring from Kyoto, Japan, weighing in at 137 pounds, she is one of the Shinijoshi… ”HEADHUNTRESS” AIYA!
As “Dark Seeks Light” by Yui Ninomiya plays over the PA system, a fog appears near the curtains. As it slowly fades away, we see the form of “Headhuntress” Aiya standing at the top of the ramp. She saunters down, entering the ring through the middle and top ropes. Aiya then leans against the ring, already looking as if she’s making a game plan in her head whilst waiting for her opponent to enter the ring.
Reid: And the opponent, from Toronto Ontario Canada,; weighing in at 229 pounds, he is the AMC Broadcast Champion... REMARKABLE MARK KEATON!
After the opening guitar riff of Money for Nothing, Mark Keaton walks out on to the stage, he's wearing a thick, black leather jacket with studs and sunglasses. Mark is smoking a cigarette and sneering. He stops his swagger at the top of the ramp to play some excellent air guitar for a moment. He's yelling at the crowds now and flexing his biceps. He jumps down then runs to another turnbuckle, this time he flexes his chest and points to his abs.
DING DING DING
Keaton grabs Aiya taking her over with a suplex. He gets to his feet and spins around dropping down with an elbow drop. Aiya gets to her feet clutching her ribs. Keaton grabs her and drives her across his knee for a backbreaker. Aiya lays clutching her back but Keaton grabs her taking her over with a gutwrench suplex. He hooks the leg as he makes a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Aiya lifts a shoulder up to break the count. Keaton lifts her to her feet but she slaps him hard across the face. Keaton charges her but Aiya takes him to the mat with a spinebuster before dropping down with a headbutt to the gut. Keaton gets to his feet but Aiya brings him back to the mat with a neckbreaker. Keaton pulls himself to his feet as Aiya runs off the ropes. She collides with a spear and hooks the leg.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Keaton rolls to his side breaking the count.
Mason: Close to a new champion there.
Brooks: Easily could have been, Eric! RMK has to get himself back in this thing quick.
Livingston: Close? Keaton could have easily gotten a shoulder up on one if he wanted. Aiya just wanted an excuse to lie on top of him.
Aiya rolls to the apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle. She takes a moment to breath and tosses herself at Keaton crashing down on him with FUBAR. She rolls off him with the force of the impact and clutches her ribs. She rolls over and makes a cover on Keaton.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Keaton rolls to his front breaking the count. Aiya lifts Keaton to his feet and positions him for a suplex. She lifts him up but he slips out of her grip and drives her down, rolls, down, rolls and down with a 3DT. This time it’s Keaton that rolls as he rolls into a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Aiya manages to roll an arm off the mat as she rolls to her side.
Mason: Now that should have been it! I don’t know how she got out of that.
Livingston: Oh come on that was three!
Brooks: I'd love to see you be a referee John, just one time.
Keaton lifts Aiya to her feet and up for a suplex. He rests her on the ropes for a Hangover 1980. Aiya manages to shove him away and land, on her feet, on the apron. Keaton charges her but Aiya reaches through the ropes and drives a shoulder into Keaton’s gut dropping him to his knees. Aiya flows through the ropes and fires at Keaton with an OTK. Keaton ducks and Aiya spins. Keaton grabs her with a front face lock looking for a Full Metal Jacket. Aiya lifts Keaton up and drops him to the mat with Beat In. Aiya hooks the leg as the referee counts.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall and NEWWWWWWW AMC Broadcast Champion... ”HEADHUNTRESS” AIYA!!!Mason: She has done it!!! “Headhuntress” Aiya is the new AMC Broadcast Champion! With that she closes out her season in style!
Livingston: Ohh this is just crap. Shinijoshi collecting another championship around here, great.
Brooks: Congrats to Aiya, that was a hard fought contest for sure but she is now a two-time Broadcast Champion and she's headed to WrestleFest!
Aiya leans against the ropes and holds her newly won championship high for all to see. She heads through the ropes and saunters up the ramp slapping hands with the fans.
Mason: Mark Keaton actually did put up a hell of a fight here tonight, but the bounty and the championship belong to the Headhuntress.
Brooks: You're right on that one. Does she have everybody's attention now, John?
Livingston: I'm gettin' real tired of this crap.
The camera cuts to Mark recovering from the battle he just had with Aiya, he's sweaty and breathing heavy, he walks to the center of the ring. He starts looking around the crowd, anxious, looking for anyone that stands out. He quickly slides out of the ring, pushes an official off of a chair near the timekeepers table, then grabs a mic. He runs then slides back in the ring. Mark looks around frantically again and brings the mic to his mouth quickly.
RMK: I KNOW you're here, you son of a bitch! Show yourself!!
Mason: Mark Keaton is beside himself here, who is he talking about?
The lights dim and fog rolls out from the entrance ramp all the way to the ring, it circles the ring as if it was alive, Mark slowly drops the mic, frozen in fear…the EXT comes alive with a close up of gray gloves slowly closing into a fist…
A seven foot shadow walks through the fog, it eventually clears, revealing the terrifying creature..
Mason: What the hell? It's MORDEN CRYPT! What the hell is he doing here?! Get out of there Mark!
The masked phantom Morden Crypt reaches the ring, he pulls up to the ring apron, then puts a hand on the top rope, he takes a step over the rope then walks slowly towards Mark. RMK is terrified as he looks up at the giant creature. After a moment, Morden Crypt reaches down and picks up the mic.
MORDEN CRYPT: I am your son.
Mason: His son?! What in the world?!
Brooks: Mark Keaton is the Moist .... Daddy?!?
Fog completely covers the ring, when it finally fades, both men are gone.
Livingston: Aaaand THAT just happened, what in the actual ...
And the camera goes to ....
Mason: Well. I think RMK just topped his own OMG moment with that, but nevertheless congrats to him for winning a PRIME Award! Next up we ha--
“Do It So Good” by WARGASM hits the PA as the crowd in Arthur Ashe Stadium comes unglued.
Mason: OHHHH MY!! Could it ... Gabi Vee is here?!
Livingston: And it had been so quiet of late... I thought Callie ended her career? Well, we all had hoped. God damnit.
Mason: Speak for yourself.
Brooks: The roof just blew off this place!
The Angel of Prime walks out onto the entrance and stands there smiling out to the crowd's warm welcome. She walks side to side to work the crowd, and it is easy to see the cast on her left. Humbled by the warm welcome, she looks out over the arena before making her way down to the ring.
Livingston: Great… She’s coming to the ring.
Mason: This is the first we have seen from Gabi since she lost the Indy title to Callie Clark at Rumble XX.
Livingston: Judging by the cast on her arm, I am guessing Callie did break the idiot’s arm.
Brooks: You think that's gonna stop Gabi Vee?
Gabi rolls into the ring, careful of her left arm, and calls for a mic. She catches it and walks around the ring a second.
Visconty: Hello, New York!
The crowd cheers as Gabi looks over the sold out crowd in Arthur Ashe stadium.
Visconty: Did you think I had retired? Did you think I gave up and quit? Well… just like at Rumble XX, I didn’t quit! I didn’t give up!
Gabi raises her left arm high above her head as the crowd starts a GABI VEE chant.
Visconty: Should I have tapped out? Should I have quit? That’s not who I am. Who I am is a second generation wrestler who WILL be back next season.
The crowd roars their approval of the Prime Superstar, drawing the typical grin from her.
Visconty: Many of you might not care. Many of you might wonder if I am coming back for the Indy title. All I can say is that I am coming back. Fate will take me where it will. Titles come and go… one thing I am coming back for,
She pauses and looks around the stadium for a moment, then slowly to her injured left arm. The crowd cheers.
Visconty: I am coming back to tear Cowie Clark’s black soul out. If the House wants to stand in my way? That’s fine.
Gabi grins defiantly before dropping the mic. The crowd starts to chant GABI VEE again as she holds up the 3C hand sign before slipping out of the ring.
Mason: She just threw up the 3C! Does this mean 3C is coming back next season?
Livingston: Aw shit, I hope not. Could things get any worse?!
Mason: I can’t wait for next season now! Gabi and Callie have had a back and forth all season long, now this from Gabi. Wow.
Livingston: Calm down. Next time Callie will break her leg and we will be Gabi-free for 6 months or so.
Brooks: John, the only thing I hear from you right now is worry that Gabi is gonna come take that title back from your beloved 'Golden Goddess!'
Livingston: Who keeps inviting this guy back?
Gabi high fives a bunch of fans on the way up the entrance ramp as we go to .....
In the locker room area of Arthur Ashe Stadium a camera follows Mark Paulson and Brian Knight down the corridor that leads to the private dressing rooms. They stop outside of the room reserved for Callie Clark. Mark goes to knock on the door, but it swings open before he gets the chance to announce their presence.
The Camera cuts to a view inside the locker room. The interior has been trashed. The furniture has been shredded and the mirror is shattered above the vanity. Callie's possessions are scattered everywhere and her designer street clothes and high end, custom ring attire have been slashed to scraps and spattered with paint
In the middle of all the chaos stands its creator: The Last Temptation Dalilah Ashe. Grinning like a wild animal, she is still holding Callie's partially torn ring jacket in two tightly clenched claws. Undeterred, she continues to tear the sleeve off the jacket as Mark and Brian share a look of complete confusion.
Dalilah Ashe: Hi Boys. Nice of you to join us. Do me a big favor. I need you to give Callie a message for me.
Coming from behind Bedlam Briggs bull-rushes them, sending them both sprawling into the room. With two stiff forearm shots, from a pair of forearms the size of baseball bats, he knocks them to the floor. Caught completely off their guard Paulson and Knight are unable to regain their wits before Dalilah lurches forward and sprays paint in their eyes. Both Bedlam and Dalilah mercilessly start hitting them with anything and everything at their disposal as Dalilah stood over them screaming.
Dalilah Ashe: I've just started stealing her spotlight! I'm her own personal arsonist! And I'm going to burn that bitch's House all the way to the ground!
Glancing up and noticing the camera recording the beating, Bedlam slams the door abruptly in the audience's face, leaving only the sickening sounds of the beat down being delivered to two of Callie Clark's closest associates behind to fuel the crowd's imagination as we go to...
We now head over to the vacant Manhattan Center where it's time for a season finale tradition!
Mason: You might as well call this a last time ever match as well, this is Nevaeh's final chance to finally defeat Stitches! And it's anything goes in the Manhattan Center!
DING DING DING
Nevaeh runs at Stitches for a spinning backfist but he ducks and takes Nevaeh over with a side suplex. Nevaeh lands on her feet. She runs off the ropes but Stitches catches her with a chop to the chest that echoes through the empty arena. Nevaeh runs for a one handed bulldog but Stitches shoves her off the ropes and backdrops her as she rebounds back. Nevaeh rolls from the ring. Stitches follows. He grabs her and Irish whips her but she reverses sending Stitches into the metal ring barrier. Nevaeh runs clotheslining him over the barrier onto the first row or two of chairs. Nevaeh climbs over the barrier and grabs a chair bringing it down across Stitches’ back as he gets to his feet. She grabs him by the hair and shoves him toward the back of this section. Nevaeh runs at Stitches but he pops her into the air and brings her, and himself, down onto rows of chairs with a Samoan drop. Both lay in the pile of body and metal. Stitches manages to stretch an arm over her to make a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Nevaeh just rolls to her side to break the count. Stitches gets to his feet pulling Nevaeh to hers. He whips her into the doors at the back of the arena and they find themselves in a small corridor. Stitches grabs Nevaeh but she falls backward with a flatliner driving Stitches’ head into the wall. He drops to the ground where Nevaeh makes a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Stitches rolls to his side to break the count.
Mason: A lot of brutality, but it's not gonna be enough yet.
Brooks: But that was one hell of a long two count.
Livingston: Show that clown how it's done Nevaeh!
Stitches pulls himself to his feet but staggers through a door. Nevaeh follows and it’s a stairwell. Stitches tries to crawl up the steps as Nevaeh drags him to his feet. She takes a few steps back and runs looking for Cast Out Of Heaven. Stitches manages to avoid it and Nevaeh runs into nothing. Stitches grabs Nevaeh and lifts her. He leaps bringing her crashing down onto the stairs with a Crimson Arrow. Stitches grabs her leg as the referee counts.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Nevaeh reaches up and grabs the banister to pull her shoulder from the ground and break the count. Stitches begins to crawl up the remaining stairs. Nevaeh uses the banister to pull herself to her feet. She heads up the same steps. At the top of the steps, Stitches pulls himself to his feet and we see that he’s on the upper balcony level of the Manhattan Center. He turns to look for Nevaeh but she runs up the last of the steps and smacks Stitches in the jaw with Cast Out Of Heaven. She drops on top of him as the referee counts.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Stitches manages to roll to his side breaking the count.
Mason: I do not know how these two are even moving. My back hurts just looking at this action never mind being in it.
Livingston: I'm pretty sure NEVAEH already has back problems, Eric.
Brooks: I'm pretty sure she would slit your throat for even looking buddy.
Nevaeh gets to her feet. She stumbles and leans against the edge of the balcony. Stitches pulls himself to his feet. He staggers and runs at Nevaeh with his arm outstretched for a clothesline. Nevaeh grabs him on impact and both fall over the balcony. They plummet to the ground. Stitches goes through a table with a crash, Nevaeh lands on the floor. Immediately, she starts screaming about her leg. She clutches at her lower leg. She lays a hand over Stitches. The referee counts.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall... NEVAEH!!!Mason: NEVAEH puts her own body on the line but she accomplishes her mission and finally defeats Stitches here on PRIME!
Brooks: Brawl's Broadcast Champion wasn't enough to take out a Hellraiser here tonight, hopefully she or Stitches aren't seriously injured though.
Livingston: That was a wild match but we knew NEVAEH would take down another intruder!
Stitches and Nevaeh begin to move. Slowly they begin to rise from the debris. Nevaeh can’t take weight on her left leg and begins to fall. Both superstars are helped by EMTs as they are escorted off.
Mason: Just what these superstars will do for glory in this business never ceases to amaze me.
Brooks: They took one hell of a plunge.
Livingston: And not a Pepsi plunge either, a real one. NEVAEH ends the year on a high note and I love to see it!
The camera cuts to ...
We go to a hallway backstage where we see Callie Clark on the phone while Tori Taylor keeps an eye out to make sure Dalilah doesn’t get the jump on her.
Callie: Yes I agree, we might need to handle it.
Callie nods while pacing back and forth, listening to whatever the person on the phone has to say.
Callie: We’ll see how it goes till Wrestlefest. If we need to do something…
Suddenly, Cosmo Goldworthy comes around the corner, causing Callie to stop talking.
Callie: I’ll talk to you later I gotta go.
Callie hangs up the phone and smiles at Cosmo.
Callie: Cosmo! Good to see you! Hey, you ready to kill it at Wrestlefest and become TV Champ?
Cosmo looks suspicious, looking back and forth at Callie and Tori.
Cosmo: Uh yeah…hey what was that phone call about? Who were you talking to?
Callie: Nobody, just a friend. It’s not important.
Cosmo: You sure?
Callie nods.
Callie: Of course. Hey we’ll catch up later, I need to come up with a way to get revenge on Dalilah after what she did earlier.
Callie and Tori walk off with Cosmo looking at them with a little suspicion and a little confusion.
Back stage at Arthur Ashe stadium the camera shows Mercenary standing in the shadows, waiting to watch The Undisputed Champion Xavier Reid take the ring for his match with Scorpio. Turning to go to the stands to find a better vantage The EWC Outlaw comes face to face with an old acquaintance: His Ex-Valet and former girlfriend, now The Sweetest Sin of Prime, The Last Temptation Dalilah Ashe. She also is looking for a good place to watch her old mentor and arch nemesis Scorpio, take on Xavier Reid.
Like a deer caught in the headlights of JoJo Rush's truck, she traps stops him in place with her stare.
Dalilah Ashe: Hello Michael.
Bedlam forms a barrier between the two as Dalilah and the Mercenary stare at each other in silence with growing intensity. Refusing to be intimidated Mercenary goes nose to chin with one of the rare men who might make the big man look diminutive by comparison.
Dalilah breaks the growing tension by putting a palm on Bedlam's arm and guiding him away from the potential confrontation. Smiling with a strange familiarity back over her shoulder she never takes her eyes off of the Mercenary. He offers her a small nod of recognition.
The Outlaw keeps the potential threat in his sights until they disappear around a corner before he walks away in the opposite direction. In his life he has learned better than to ever turn his back on a rabid animal as we head to ....
Mason: Well congrats to Callie Clark and her Excelsior for becoming PRIME's best finisher of 2023!
Livingston: What the hell is Mercenary doing here?
Mason: I believe he wants to watch this match John, and who could blame him? Two first ballot hall of famers will clash for one more time before Scorpio's impending retirement, as he takes on The EWC Undisputed Champion Xavier Reid!
Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first…
'Rule Britannia' hits the speakers as red, white, and blue lighting flashes around the arena. The crowd begin to cheer with a few smattered boos as the image of a waving Union Jack is displayed on the X-Tron. Superimposed on this is the message "Please be upstanding for your Prime Minister". After a little while the orchestral music fades down...
Reid: Please welcome, from London, England, weighing in at 205 lbs... 'The People's Camp', 'The Baddest Bitch On The Planet', 'The Prime Minister'... 'THE S-FACTOR' SCORPIO!
'Iconic' - Madonna feat. Chance The Rapper hits the speakers as the house lights go down, switching to a spotlight focused on the curtain. It parts, revealing 'The S-Factor' Scorpio stood behind, a hand on his hip cutting a beautiful silhouette. He sashays forward, a long coat dripping in jewels swaying with every step. Behind him steps Crème de la Crème, Scorpio's drag queen confidant and manager. The two look to one another and nod, before Scorpio opens his coat and drops it to the floor, revealing another stunning outfit. He steps down the ramp with a confident strut, emulating that of the catwalk models of Paris and Milan, before reaching the ring. Scorpio climbs up one set of steps as Crème climbs the other, parting the ropes to allow 'The S-Factor'' in. Stepping into the middle of the ring Scorpio raises one arm, and blows a kiss with the other, a smile forming on his beautifully made-up face. The crowd absolutely roars for Scorpio in his last PRIME appearance.
Reid: And the opponent, residing in New York City and weighing in at 220 pounds... THE EWC UNDSIPUTED CHAMPION ... 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 and pulls his t-shirt off and drops it on the stage. His manager, ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love follows him out onto the stage, waving 'The Love Stick' around. Xavier 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 and Xavier marches up the steps and steps into the ring, goes to the far corner and jumps up to the second rope and looks out over the fans as Tommy Love walks towards the referee, already complaining about something trying to influence the referee or at least bully him into giving them the advantage
DING DING DING

Reid: And your winner, via pinfall... THE EWC UNDISPUTED CHAMPION ... XAVIER REID!!!Mason: The Champion picks up a huge victory on PRIME! Unbelievable encounter!
Livingston: Scorpio was close, but he's not the Scorpio of old and the Scorpio of now cannot beat the run Xavier is on, boys.
Brooks: I think Scorpio is as good as he's ever been, John! Look at the match you just saw for god sakes!
Bunny slides into the ring and she holds Reid’s arm in the air in victory as Tommy Love stands behind them clutching the Undisputed Championship.
Mason: Well Xavier Reid is rolling on to WrestleFest to meet his two challengers in Sally Talfourd tonight but he's certainly proved here that he's got the momentum on his side picking up the win over Scorpio.
Brooks: Scorpio certainly proved he's still got it here in his last PRIME match and has no reason to hang his head. I mean, look in his eyes. What do you see? A legend.
Livingston: Yeah well he's looking down the barrel of another legend himself for WrestleFest with Melody Malone and he's gonna need more than what he showed here tonight if he's gonna beat her!
Mason: Goodness you can't just admit the match was fantastic can you John?
As the dust settles on their contest Xavier Reid and Scorpio get to their feet. The crowd are also all standing with rapturous noise for the final Prime match of the S-Factor’s career, as he and Reid stare across the ring at one another. There’s no love lost between them but there is clearly some respect. The two step to the middle of the ring and continue staring one another down, almost looking like they might brawl again, before finally Reid throws a hand out. Scorpio eyes it suspiciously before finally he sighs and shakes it. Reid gives him a respectful nod before climbing from the ring.
Mason: These two have warred for years in the EWC and I for one never expected to see them shake hands!
Livingston: Well Xavier’s never got to see the Prime Minister again, that’s gotta be a relief for him.
Reid heads to the back as Scorpio is handed a microphone and Crème de la Crème joins him in the middle of the ring. Slowly Scorpio paces around the ring looking around the arena as the crowd roar with “THANK YOU SCORPIO!” and “MY PRIME MINISTER!”. The S-Factor looks completely taken aback by the response as he raises the microphone.
Scorpio: When I first came to Prime I came with resentment in my heart and disdain in my words, I thought myself better than this brand, I thought I was going to dominate it. You… you special fucking darlings proved me wrong…
He smiles as he looks down the ramp to the back, sending a message directly to the locker room.
Scorpio: I’ve had the most incredible career, I’ve loved every second of it, and you lot here on Prime you’ve—
He suddenly stops as it seems the emotion has caught his words in his throat slightly. Scorpio briefly wipes at one eye as Crème offers a supportive hand on his shoulder.
Scorpio: I… sorry… fuck I didn’t think I’d do this… choosing to walk away while I still can has been the hardest choice of my career and I know it’s the right one, but it doesn’t make it any easier… I just wanted to say—
Once again his voice catches in his throat and he turns to Crème as the camera catches a few tears rolling down his cheeks (don’t worry the mascara is waterproof). He and Crème share a few off-mic words as Scorpio shakes his head and throws the microphone aside, gesturing that he can’t talk. Crème reaches into her ever-present sequinned clutch bag and pulls out a lipstick, handing it to him. The Prime Minister smiles before he gets on his knees and uses it to write on the canvas.
IT'S BEEN A FUCKING BLAST DARLINGS. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.
YOURS, ALWAYS
S x
“Iconic” hits the speakers as Scorpio throws the lipstick to the crowd and he and Crème hug. The crowd cheer enormously and chant “THANK YOU SCORPIO!” once again as the pair gesture and wave to the fans.
Mason: And with that his Prime career is over…
Livingston: But the Prime Minister’s got one last match in him – he and Melody Malone, an Insanity Cage, WrestleFest… you better be there!
Brooks: You know damn well we'll all be there, John!!
The camera cuts to ...
We return to ringside where the PRIME Minister Necklace is on the line!
Mason: Well we go now from a Last Time Ever match to a First Time Ever match as Narumi Tsutsumi takes on the Indy Champion Callie Clark!
Reid: The following match, set for one fall, is for the Prime Minister Necklace! Joining us first, from New York, New York and weighing in at 115 pounds, she is now trending worldwide, she is the Indy Champion... CALLIE CLARK!
A red carpet is rolled out going from the stage to the bottom of the ramp, and Bad Reputation hits as the lights turn gold in the arena. Callie comes out with Tori walking out behind her, wearing a 'The House Always Wins' T-shirt and jeans as she looks visibly annoyed that her gear has been destroyed by Dalilah Ashe. Callie's paparazzi takes pictures of her as she walks down the ramp, but she shoos them away as she stomps down to ringside. As she reaches ringside, Tori goes ahead of Callie, holding open the ropes so Callie can step through, and walk to the middle of the ring, where she stands off in the corner with her arms crossed as the music cuts.
Reid: And the opponent, making her way to the ring, weighing in at 125 pounds, from Shinjuku Japan… representing Shinijoshi...she is the wielder of the Prime Minister Necklace , The Onihime... NARUMI TSUTSUMI!
Stage spotlights shine down in the dark as "The Baddest" by Raon Lee begins to play with the oni princess skipping onto the scene in a pink oni mask, wearing the Prime Minister Necklace around her neck, Narumi waves at the fans as the spotlight follows her. As she makes her to the ring apron, she turns to the camera to take off her mask and strikes the Shinijoshi's double deuce pose as the lights turn back on in the arena. She enters the ring to skip around while brandishing the Prime Minister Necklace with a smile.

Mason: He becomes deranged when Callie is around.
Callie climbs to the top turnbuckle and dives for a Spiral Tap. At the last second, Narumi rolls to the side and Callie crashes to the canvas. Narumi charges and knocks Callie down with Onigokko. She makes a cover.

DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall and NEWWWWW holder of the Prime Minister necklace... THE EWC INDY CHAMPION .... CALLIE CLARK!!!Mason: There may well be no stopping Callie Clark! First the Indy Championship and now the Prime necklace!
Brooks: Looks like the Golden Goddess really has it all here on the blue brand guys!
Livingston: HAHAHA! I TOLD EVERY ONE OF YOU! SHE IS THE GREATEST STAR THIS BRAND HAS EVER SEEN! SHE DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO WEAR WRESTLING GEAR!
Callie stands in the middle of the ring and holds up the Indy Championship with one hand and the Prime Minister necklace with the other, a cocky smirk on her face as she revels in the boos reigning down on her before wiping her feet at Narumi Tsutsumi on the mat.
Mason: I think we are in the age of Callie here on PRIME ...
Brooks: I will give Callie all the credit in the world. But I have to wonder something. I wonder if Narumi's head was really in this match. She's got both Saidie Sharpe on her mind, AND the Undisputed Championship looming for WrestleFest. I wonder to myself if the situation was different if she beats Callie here tonight.
Livingston: The answer is no, Phil.
The camera cuts to the ring, where Narumi is slowly making her way to her feet as Callie has left with her prized PRIME Minister Necklace. She motions for one of the PRIME crew members to hand her a microphone.
Mason: Well, as we heard on BRAWL, Narumi is done messing around and she wants to speak with Saidie Sharpe.
Livingston: That’s a big mistake as far as I’m concerned, boys. Saidie already beat that ass twice when they were face to face, why’s Narumi wanna poke that bear a third time?
Brooks: Face to face?! John, she ambushed her in the locker rooms.
Livingston: Stay outta this Pepsi Phil.
Narumi: Saidie I’m tired of this, we’re supposed to be friends, sisters even! I don’t know what’s your problem, come out there and talk to me!
It doesn’t take long for the lights to go down as ‘Edge of Midnight’ hits the speakers and Saidie’s pink spotlight appears on the stage. After a couple of moments she appears alongside it, a smile on her face as the PRIME faithful boo her to oblivion. She already has a mic in her hand as she heads to ringside, taking one lap around the outside as Narumi stares daggers at her in return. Saidie hops into the ring as her music fades and the two circle each other briefly.
Saidie: Well. I’m here. Was there something you wanted to talk about?
She chuckles to herself as Narumi looks less than impressed.
Narumi: What’s the matter with you? Don’t you remember how happy we were? Why are you ruining everything? Do you want to fight this badly?
Saidie: I didn't want to fight with you Narumi. But you pushed me to this. You forced my hand. You made this happen yourself and you have nobody to blame but yourself. And now the entire WORLD is going to see why I am justified by doing what I did when that bell rings at One Night Encounter. It was the worst mistake these people could have made giving you this match, Narumi.
Narumi looks to the floor, shaking her head.
Narumi: Saidie you have no idea what you’re in for, you’ve made this too personal for you to handle. Do you have any idea how many people I’ve brutalized for less?
Saidie steps forward almost to where she is in Narumi’s face.
Saidie: Some would probably say I'm an underdog challenging you, but I wouldn't. You may have all the accolades, but I have the talent. And I'm going to walk into your home in Japan and beat you in front of everyone who's ever loved you.
The Onihime explodes and shoves Saidie.
Narumi: TALENT? YOU DON’T WRESTLE! ALL YOU DO IS TALK!
Saidie is shocked and shoves back, and the women break into throwing blows at one another, lefts and rights! Security storms the ring and corrals both wrestlers to a corner each! Narumi and Saidie each struggle against them until Narumi breaks out and rushes Saidie again as they start beating each other once more! The crowd is in a frenzy as more security and now the referees rush the ring and try to control the situation. Saidie pushes down two of them and heads right for Narumi as they keep throwing punches at one another!
Mason: NARUMI AND SAIDIE HAVE SNAPPED HERE TONIGHT!
Livingston: Tsutsumi has lost her mind!!
Brooks: Narumi Tsutsumi has had a lot of setbacks on her way to that Undisputed Championship rematch, and she's lost a lot of things important to her lately. I am a Narumi fan, this isn't usually like her but I can't blame her for finally giving Saidie what she deserves.
Finally both ladies are pulled apart, being dragged away on opposite ends of the arena to the backstage area ....
We return to ringside for our main event, where GOOD FRIENDS are about to become better enemies!
Mason: Well I've got tears in my eyes thanks to Scorpio but now it's time for a main event, gentlemen, on a night where PRIME has been thrown into chaos we STILL have Jack Severn Vs Melody Malone! Let's get to it!
Reid: The following match is your Prime Season Finale MAIN EVENT, and it is scheduled for one fall!
'15 Minutes' by Shattered Skies hits as the lights dim…
One more day until I pour this emptiness out
One more way you tear at my seams again
No one sees - no one can see the scar, it darkens
Soon they'll see my 15 minutes of fame
Jack Severn, accompanied by Alastor Gray, walks down to the ring once the lyrics start, smiling with the utmost confidence in his face. He’s dressed in royal purple with gold highlights, and he turns around to show the back of his jacket featuring Jack and Queen playing card designs, albeit with the Jack wearing the Queen’s crown.
Nothing to lose
Oh, how they're fascinated
Which one to choose?
They'll know me now
Jack claps for himself, mocking the crowd, as Alastor makes his way to the commentary desk.
I can turn this world inside out
Everything you love will be mine
They will watch it all unfold with
Voyeuristic eyes
Once in the center of the ring, Jack relishes in the crowd's hatred, mocking them and their heroes. He leans up against the ropes with one foot on the middle rope, screaming maniacally at the hard camera about how he's going to win and step closer to his destiny. He throws off his jacket, fired up. That’s when the soft words of Billie Eilish begin to play over the P.A. system…
Bite my tongue bide my time
Wearing a warning sign
Wait till the world is mine
Visions I vandalize
Cold in my kingdom size
Fell for these ocean eyes
As the chorus hits, a bright flash of pyro explodes from the base of the EXT and Melody Malone stands on the stage, flanked by her personal retainer Rory Hyland. Melody stands with a crown atop her head as a spotlight follows them down to the ring.
You should see me in a crown
I'm gonna run this nothing town
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by
Rory climbs onto the apron first, holding the ropes open as Melody climbs the stairs and steps through with her chin held up to keep the crown atop her head. She gives the crowd a sarcastic smile as they boo, and she gingerly removes the crown from her head and hands it off to Rory as he exits.
You should see me in a crown
Your silence is my favorite sound
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by one
One by one by one
The lights transition to three spotlights, one on each opponent and the announcer, and Melody has her gloves tugged into place as she rakes her hair back.
Reid: First, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 220 pounds, representing The House, HE IS THE PRIME TIME CATALYST… JACK SEVERN!!!
The crowd boos as Jack shows off his wrist tape, adorned with a drawn-on watch and “Lazarus” written on it.
Reid: And his opponent, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 145 pounds, SHE IS THE QUEEN OF THE EWC… MELODY MALONE!!!
Melody simply stares Jack down, smirking slightly at his attempt at mind games.
Gray: The hierarchy of the EWC is surely about to change, gentlemen. We are witnessing history.
Mason: I would say let the games begin but I think they already have!
Brooks: I swear Jack Severn is the devil incarnate.
Livingston: And I swear Melody Malone 'bout to get that perfect ass whipped.
DING DING DING
The bell rings and Jack runs right out from the corner, attempting at The Silencer to start the match! He misses, however, and Melody counters into the Nightmare Fuel Spike DDT! She immediately covers.ONE…
TW… NO! KICK OUT!
Without skipping a beat, Melody transitions into the Queen’s Grace submission, fighting to pull Jack’s leg over her neck! Jack scrambles over to the ropes and causes a break.
Mason: Smart thinking by Severn, you don't wanna be caught in that for long.
Livingston: Pfft, every move he makes is great, right Gray Man?
Gray: Brilliant move by Jack! Just a little test to see if Queen Melody still has some fire in her. Now the real fun can start…
Brooks: This is gonna be a long night.
As the two competitors reset in their corners, they now begin to circle each other. They quickly lock up, and Jack soon overpowers Melody, flexing as he keeps her in a headlock. His cockiness gets the best of him, though, and once his grip loosens ever so slightly, Melody is able to slide out and hit Jack with a jumping snapmare as he runs at her. Thoroughly schooled, Jack opts to slide out of the ring and take a bit of a walk to gather his bearings. As Jack tries to cross to the other side of the ring, Rory Hyland blocks him off! Jack just rolls his eyes and goes to walk the other way… BEFORE TURNING BACK AROUND AND KICKING RORY IN THE DICK!
Jack cackles as an enraged Mel DIVES out into Jack! They both crash into the barricade, and Mel tosses Jack back into the ring. She checks on Rory for a brief moment before heading back in, but this gives Jack enough time to be able to poke Mel in the eyes when she comes back into the ring! He rolls her up!
ONE…
TW… NO! KICK OUT!
Melody kicks out just in time for Jack to transition into a crossface! Mel shifts her weight back onto Jack before the crossface is locked in all the way, and actually pins him down!
ONE…
TW… NO! KICK OUT!
Jack flips Melody over him, countering the counter, and as they stand up, Jack turns Melody around and hits a devastating saito suplex! Jack doesn’t waste any time, lifting Melody up and throwing her back down with a standing uranage!
Gray: See! This is what makes The House great! Jack is absolutely dictating the pace now!
Mason: I'm seeing but I'm not sure if I'm believing!
Brooks: He's gotta keep that pressure on here!
Livingston: Ignore them, they're haters.
Jack lifts Mel up again, this time for a sitout powerbomb!
ONE…
TW… NO! KICK OUT!
Melody crawls to the ropes for reprieve, and Jack comes up from behind, trying to suplex her, but she hangs onto the ropes! She manages to elbow Jack in the head a few times to get him to back off… BEFORE JUMPING AND SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE ROPES, HITTING JACK WITH A BEAUTIFUL CUTTER! Melody, regaining her momentum, goes to the other side of the ropes, slingshotting herself into a leg drop, but Jack rolls out of the way! Mel lands right on her tailbone, and Jack capitalizes with a superkick right to her skull! Both competitors lay on the mat, but Jack is the first to his feet, using the ropes to get up. Jack grabs Mel, putting her into a guillotine choke, before suplexing her right into the corner and on her neck! Back in control as if he never lost it, Jack furiously stomps down on Mel’s neck, as the referee tries to push Jack away, recognizing Mel’s rope break. Right as Mel gets up, Jack barrels towards her with a running european uppercut into the corner! Jack wastes no time, tossing Mel across the ring with an exploder suplex! Jack grins a devilish grin before going for the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Without skipping a beat, Jack rolls out of the ring, dragging Melody to the edge of the ring with him. He begins to tear off the apron, choking Melody with it, but of course the referee begins counting to disqualify Jack, and Rory tears the apron away from Jack’s hands, trying VERY hard not to interfere and get Melody disqualified. Jack just laughs at Rory before rolling back into the ring. Jack grabs Mel and Irish whips her, but as Mel rebounds, she ducks a lariat from Jack, and comes back around with a knee strike! This catches Jack right in the nose, and as he stumbles back, Mel distracts the referee slightly so Rory can hit Jack with a huge right hand!
Gray: I can’t lie, turnabout IS fair play. Jack should’ve been more careful.
Brooks: Yeah, ya know, he should probably watch where he's dick kicking.
Mason: Hopefully the referee can keep control of this contest!
Livingston: TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY ALASTOR JUST SAID THAT ERIC.
Melody rubs her head and grins, hitting Jack with a vicious superkick of her own! Jack, dazed but still not totally out, weakly lifts his head up… right into another superkick! Melody hits a third before Jack’s head even hits the mat, and then capitalizes with a cover!
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
As Jack gets back to his feet, Mel continues to use her speed advantage by rushing him with the tilt-a-whirl headscissors, BUT JACK CATCHES HER MIDAIR AND COUNTERS INTO A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER OUT OF NOWHERE! Both competitors collapse, and Jack just barely covers Melody.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
A primal, enraged look begins to take over Jack’s face as he begins unloading with suplex variations! First, he hooks Mel’s arms and hits a crisp butterfly suplex! Just as she recoils in pain, Jack grabs her from behind, wrapping his arms around her neck, before lifting her up and hitting a sleeper suplex! Mel is launched right into the corner of the ring, where Jack goes to hit another running european uppercut, but Mel has it scouted! She ducks, and tries to counter into a step-up enziguri in the corner, but Jack catches her once again into a powerbomb position, and he turns around to hit a buckle bomb! As Melody crumples in the corner, Jack slowly approaches her, holding up a “too sweet” hand sign, before chopping her! He laughs and does this a few more times, before Irish whipping her again, and THIS time getting caught with the tilt-a-whirl headscissors! Mel keeps her momentum going with an enziguri onto Jack, followed by a standing moonsault! She covers.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Digging deep, Melody goes to the top rope, and hits her old moonsault/diving foot stomp combo, aka The Queen’s Gambit! But she doesn’t go for an immediate cover, much to Rory’s chagrin at ringside. She instead wags her finger, draping Jack across the middle rope. She runs back and charges forward to hit Euphoria- BUT NO! JACK CATCHES HER AND FLIPS HER BACKWARDS OVER HIS HEAD AND DOWN ONTO THE MAT BELOW! Rory immediately rushes towards her as Jack takes the moment to catch his breath.
Gray: Amazing ring awareness from my client!
Mason: Well, I actually can't argue about that opportune moment.
Livingston: KEEP GOING JACK!
Brooks: John you're screaming in my ear, fanboy.
Jack jumps down from the apron, stomping down on Melody’s ankle! He sneers at Rory and tosses Melody back into the ring, where he hits her with a dragon screw! Looking Rory right in the eyes, Jack fakes a hobble, mocking how he’s injuring Mel’s leg. He hits her with another dragon screw, and doesn’t let go of the grip on her ankle. Jack transitions right into the JTO lock, screaming for Melody to tap out! Mel slowly crawls to the ropes, but it’s incredibly difficult with all of Jack’s weight on her. A concerned Rory jumps on the apron, and Jack yells for him to step back, which distracts the ref as Mel finally gets to the ropes! Shades of their first encounter back in 2021, it’s almost too late when Rory finally is able to get the referee to see that Mel broke the submission, and Jack hangs on until relenting at 4.999999, reminding the ref that he has until 5. But this time, instead of completely letting go, Jack drags Mel away from the ropes, the referee, and Rory, to transition the hold into a boston crab, now further away from the ropes!
Melody is just barely again able to get to the ropes, and finally Jack lets go completely, cackling as he does. He points to the watch on his wrist tape, reminding Melody that things aren’t going to go the same way they did last time. Jack pulls Melody up into another sleeper suplex attempt, but Melody is able to elbow her away out of it, only for Jack to deliver a massive knife edge chop that sends her to her knees once more. Jack continuously pulls her up, doing more mocking, lazy “too sweet” chops, before finishing it up with a spinning backfist that sends Mel crashing into the ropes- WHERE SHE REBOUNDS AND HITS JACK WITH A BEAUTIFUL DROPKICK! Both competitors crash into the mat, making it clear this was a desperation move from Melody as she clutches her ankle. Melody once again tries to lock in the Queen’s Grace, as it’s all she can really do from her position, but Jack is too aware, and he KICKS Melody into the REFEREE! The referee crashes to the mat, and so does Mel again, as Jack crawls away.
Rory, who has had more than enough with Jack’s shenanigans, takes this moment to step into the ring. He drops Melody’s crown to the mat, and sizes Jack up. He grabs Jack by the throat, ready to chokeslam him, but Jack cries and begs. Seeing Melody coming up with the crown, Rory lets go of Jack, who nearly turns around right into Melody’s crown, but he instinctively falls to the mat, allowing MELODY TO HIT RORY WITH THE CROWN!
Mason: OHH MY! WITH THE CROWN TO THE SKULL OF RORY!
Livingston: THIS JUST GOT INTERESTING!
Gray: I think Rory got what was coming to him!
Brooks: That was NOT in the plans!
As soon as Melody turns around, Jack hits her with a Death Valley Driver! He covers!
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Jack wastes no time at all, holding up a too-sweet and then slashing his own throat, signaling the end. He hooks Melody’s legs, lifting her up… AND HE HITS THE CATALYST CRUSHER! IT’S OVER! HE COVERS AGAIN!
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
AND AT 2.9999, MELODY SOMEHOW IS ABLE TO KICK OUT! Jack slams his hands on the mat in frustration. He pulls Melody up to her feet, attempting to hit another Irish whip, BUT MELODY STOPS HIM WITH THE CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT OUTTA NOWHERE! Jack is able to roll out of the ring, where he swings by commentary to get some advice from Alastor Gray, who takes his headset off to provide an air of mystery. Jack cautiously slides back in, rushing Melody with a forearm, but Melody hits him with one back! The two get into an exchange of forearms, but Melody is able to come out on top with a stiff superkick! She hobbles, that kick doing no favors to her injured ankle, but with Jack finally down on the mat, she makes sure that he stays there by stomping him down with the Queen’s Exile! She then makes her way to the top rope, on shaky legs, waiting for Jack to just as shakily get to his feet… AND OFF WITH JACK’S HEAD! It’s a little sloppy thanks to her injury, but she scrambles to the cover nonetheless! This is it!
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Mason: Neither of these superstars want to quit here tonight!
Brooks: Melody Malone is the top of this business, THE TOP, and Jack Severn is taking it to her here tonight!
Livingston: You're damn right he is!!
Gray: What else did you expect? There’s a reason Jack chose to start working that ankle!
Mel drags Jack up by the arm, but he’s able to hit her with a desperate saito suplex! He very slowly drags her into a bridging german suplex, attempting to score a pinfall on the bridge!
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
A devious smile crosses the seething Jack Severn’s face, and places Melody in a familiar position under his arm… AND HE HITS DRACO LAZARUS’ GOLD STAR! Jack doesn’t go for the cover, however, and instead aims a finger gun at Melody, ready to pull the trigger on The Silencer! As he runs forward to hit Melody with his knee, she’s able to catch him onto her shoulders AND SHE HITS ACE KING’S BLACKJACK BOMB! But due to the injuries sustained, she’s unable to roll over and make the cover. The two competitors just lay on the mat, as the referee begins to count, hoping for one to make it to their feet first.
Jack and Melody begin to get up at the same time, hitting each other with forearms and nearly butting heads as they rise to their feet. Melody is able to gain the advantage by hitting a step-up enziguri, sending Jack stumbling a bit, but this continues to damage her own ankle. She bounces off the ropes for a running dropkick, but Jack ducks! Jack rebounds back, raising his knee to hit The Silencer, but Melody ducks too! SHE CATCHES JACK INTO NIGHTMARE FUEL ONCE AGAIN!
Gray: Come on Jack! She can’t keep going like this forever! Wear her out!
Mason: I wouldn't mind if they fought forever!
Livingston: DESTROY HER!
Brooks: John normally cheers for Malone but he can't help it when The House is around, that's hilarious.
Melody makes her way to the apron, eyeing Jack up and blowing a kiss BEFORE SLINGSHOTTING HERSELF INTO HITTING THE NOBLE PURSUIT! HOLY SHIT THAT’S GOTTA BE IT! SHE MAKES THE COVER!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall... MELODY MALONE!!!Alastor Gray throws off his headset in frustration.
Mason: WHAT A MATCH!!
Livingston: FUCK THIS MATCH!!
Brooks: Jack Severn proved he belongs tonight. Melody Malone is tough to beat on any night and he threw everything he had at her and came up just short. She is THE measuring stick in this business. He actually should be very proud of himself.
Rory rolls into the ring to check on Melody, rubbing his own head after that crown shot. He helps her to her feet, and she poses with the crown and her arm raised, finally victorious after that barn burner of a match. She looks down at Jack, who’s just barely conscious. The two lock eyes, and it almost looks like there’s maybe a tiny bit of respect there… But Alastor Gray comes in between them, pulling Jack out of the ring and berating him while staring daggers into Melody. As Jack and Alastor reach the stage, Melody grabs a microphone.
Melody: Remember what I told you, Jack… I’m STILL undisputed, and I am STILL Melody FUCKING Malone! You’re good, but you’re just not royalty quite yet. And as for Scorpio… You better have been paying attention, because this was just a taste of what’s coming for you at WrestleFest!
Mason: Melody certainly hasn't forgotten the Insanity Cage waits for her with Scorpio at WrestleFest!
Livingston: I can't believe I'm saying this but I hope Scorpio beats the living shit out of her.
Brooks: John you sound like a manbaby my friend. What an incredible match that was. I'm jacked up.
Back inside the ring, the contract table has already been quickly set up as PRIME General Manager Jordan Sharpe is standing at the end of it, giving a wave to the crowd as they give him a nice little pop as usual.
JFS: Damn that was one hell of a main event ... Ladies and gentlemen, Arthur Ashe Stadium, did we have an awesome time tonight?!
A huge roar of approval as he smiles.
JFS: Or should we call it … Dalilah Ashe Stadium?
Surprisingly this gets a mixed reaction, with slightly more cheers than boos, and Jordan himself looks a bit surprised by that.
JFS: Any crowd loves to see Callie Clark get what’s coming to her right … Sorry, I need to be professional here. This is an official contract signing for the EWC Indy Championship match at WrestleFest! First I’d like to welcome the challenger, Dalilah Ashe!
Ready For Combat by Icon For Hire plays and Dalilah Ashe, followed closely by Bedlam Briggs, swaggers down the ramp. Noticeable by her absence is Lacey Savage. Stomping up the stairs Dalilah enters the ring with Bedlam at her back. Picking up one of the two extra microphones on the table, she taps it obnoxiously on the table top to make sure it's in working order. The arena is filled with the ear splitting screech of feedback. Grinning wildly, she tosses her hair and laughs as the loud whine takes its time to fade to the dismay of both the announcers and the audience. The General Manager plugs his his ears with a slight look of aggravation until the shrill sound goes silent.
JFS: Ohh boy. And with that, let’s please welcome the EWC Indy Champion, and I guess now the PRIME Minister … CALLIE CLARK!
Bad Reputation by Adelitas Way hits and Callie walks out onto the stage smugly and followed closely by Tori Taylor. The champ has a hoodie on over her clothes she was forced to wear for her match. Callie holds up the Indy Championship to a mixed reaction, but the hometown girl gets slightly more cheers than boos. Callie puts the title over her shoulder and heads to the ring. As she reaches ringside, she yells for JFS to come open the ropes for her. He refuses at first, but after she threatens to leave, he rolls his eyes and comes over and sits on the middle rope to hold it open for the champ and her bodyguard. Callie laughs and gives him a demeaning pat on the head then goes over to her side of the table and glares at Dalilah.
JFS: I’d like to remind you that there’s no physicality but honestly, who am I kidding here … but let’s try to save the carnage for WrestleFest, okay ladies?
Dalilah steps forward. Walking a circle around The Indy Champion she gives Callie's uncharacteristically mismatched outfit a good long look. Face to face with her again she raises the microphone to her lips and smirks before sarcastically exclaiming:
Dalilah Ashe: Callie, SWEETIE! How nice of see that you decided to dress for the occasion.
Callie starts to lunge at Dalilah, who dances out of reach with a giggle, as Tori moves to restrain the champion.
Dalilah Ashe: Now, now... Jordan says no fighting till Wrestlefest. We wouldn't want to go and spoil the show now would we?
Dalilah laughs and continues to taunt and mock Callie with her movements, while keeping close to Bedlam, just in case the champion lost her composure.
Dalilah Ashe: Surely you're not all mad about what happened earlier. I told Mark and Brian to tell you I was sorry when we ran into them outside your locker room. I mean I do hope that you got my message.
Dalilah laughs sadistically at the reference to the cheap, blindside assault on the members of Next Level, who had walked in on her while she was trashing Callie's locker room. Callie, however, is anything but amused.
Callie: Oh Dalilah, I hate to admit it but you did it, your little games annoyed me tonight, and taking out my friends was worse. Good job.
Callie sarcastically claps for Ashe.
Callie: But should I remind you what happened to the last person who pissed me off before facing me? The former champ? Oh yeah, she's out of action with a broken arm! Perhaps you'd like to spend the offseason in rehab with her? I know you and Gabi are just SO close.
Callie smirks and laughs, causing Dalilah to lunge at her, but Callie takes a step back behind Tori, who blocks the challenger's path while Bedlam grabs her to restrain her.
Callie: Now now Dalilah, let's act like civilized people not savages.
Callie waggles her finger at Dalilah, and looks over the contract before signing it.
Callie: At Wrestlefest, I'm going to beat you just like I did when I defended my Broadcast Title against you. You're a good competitor, but you're not better than me. When we're on the grandest stage with the brightest lights, I'm going to do what I do best, win and send another pretender to my throne packing. I've carried this show on my back for over a year now and I'll be damned if I let you ruin all my hard work to get to this point. You wanna play mind games? You wanna get crazy? I can get crazy too.
Callie grins and slides the contract over to Dalilah.
Callie: Sign the contract and seal your fate.
Dalilah wastes no time signing the contract, quickly writing her name on it as Callie whispers something in the ear of Tori, who nods. Jordan Sharpe now takes the contract.
JFS: And with that, it's now official! At Wrestlefest it'll be Dalilah Ashe vs Callie Clark for the Indy Championship! I'm going to keep my personal feelings aside and wish you both the best of luck in the match. You're two of the best Prime has to offer and I'm looking forward to watching you girls beat the hell out of each other for this brands top prize.
JFS leaves the ring...and as soon as he does, Tori runs at Bedlam and tackles him! Both of them tumble through and ropes and out of the ring, and as that happens, Callie pulls a can out of her sleeve and quickly stops a charging Dalilah by spraying her in the eyes with pepper spray!
Mason: Where on Earth did Callie get pepper spray!? And what happened to the no violence rule!?
Livingston: Callie is a genius! She wore a hoodie out here so she could hide the pepper spray! I knew my Golden Goddess would get revenge on Dalilah for all her antics tonight!
Brooks: This entire night has been chaos! Security working overtime tonight, look at this.
JFS is livid, but not surprised, and calls for security to break things up. Callie sees security are about to slide in the ring, so she grabs her title and quickly bails from the ring, leaving Dalilah rolling around in pain while Tori and Bedlam are held back by security. Callie laughs at the chaos and holds up her title as she hops the barricade and leaves through the crowd.
Mason: Ladies and gentlemen, we thank you for yet another amazing season of PRIME! Everyone on our team from our backstage crew to Joe Danes to my broadcast partners Phil Brooks and John Livingston thank you for tuning in all year to the blue brand! We look forward to seeing how it all plays out in our 'post season' at One Night Encounter and of course WrestleFest where we WILL see Callie Clark defend that Championship against Dalilah Ashe! Goodnight everyone!
We see Callie now standing high above ringside by the suites, laughing as she holds up the Indy Championship as Dalilah glares up at her seething from the ring as we fade to black ......
