Fog spreads throughout the arena, covering the screaming fans as "Asking For It" begins to sound off over the loudspeakers.
"MAYBE YOU TALKED TO MUCH AND YOU WERE ASKING FOR IT, ASKING FOR IT, ASKING!
YOU CAN BLAME BAD LUCK, BUT YOU WERE ASKING FOR IT, ASKING FOR IT, ASKING!!!"
The fans scream for delight as the X-Tron explodes to life. Pyro ignites on the stage.

MATCH #1
RMK
Vs ZERO
(Singles Match)
Referee: Mike Michaelson
RMK
Vs ZERO
(Singles Match)
Referee: Mike Michaelson
We return to ringside.
KD: And now our opening bout of the evening, RMK takes on ZERO in what is sure to be a bloodbath!
P-Dug: These two are going to beat the hell out of each other!
Chriqui: The following match is set for one fall. Introducing first From The Hell Dimension and weighing in at 25 pounds, he is... ROTTEN MARK KEATON!!!
Fog covers the stage as Hole by Royal Blood begins. A large ring of fire lights up on the stage floor. A black coffin rises out of the hole inside the fire with the letters -RMK- scratched roughly on the front in red lettering. The coffin continues to rise until it's floating five feet above the fire. The music stops for a second and the coffin drops hard to the ground, a huge fireball explosion erupts behind the coffin and the lid breaks to pieces as the music starts again. Red eyes glow from the darkness of the coffin then the smiling demon mask of Rotten Mark Keaton is seen as it climbs out, wearing a top hat and dress coat with blue jeans and black gloves. RMK walks to the ring, arms swinging happily, he's not acknowledging the crowd at all as he climbs in the ring. He removes his dress coat and starts pacing around, waiting for the match to begin.
Chriqui: And the opponent, from Parts Unknown and weighing in at 340 pounds... ZERO!!!
The intro for "Asteroid" by Killing Joke is accompanied by a countdown on the tron and smoke collecting on stage. As Jaz Coleman yells the title of the song, ZERO emerges from the smoke flanked by Moises Ferro. The Walking Myth stomps to the ring while his manager shows off his personal monster to the terrified audience. ZERO pulls on the ring ropes to hoist himself onto the apron and enter the ring, nearly breaking the ropes in the process. Moises poses on the apron, taking in every bit of camera his devilish heart can take.
DING DING DING
Keaton smacks ZERO with a right hand. ZERO fires back with one of his own followed quickly with a forearm to the shoulder blades. ZERO then lifts Keaton for a body slam but Keaton slips out taking ZERO to the mat with a sideslam. Both get to their feet where Keaton lifts ZERO onto his shoulders for a fireman’s carry and flips forward rolling ZERO to the mat. Keaton makes a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
ZERO lifts a shoulder from the mat breaking the count. Keaton lifts ZERO to his feet but ZERO fights him off with a knee to the gut and one to the side of the head. ZERO knocks Keaton down with a clothesline. Keaton pulls himself to his feet but a forearm to the jaw knocks him back to the corner. ZERO grabs Keaton and launches him across the ring with a biel throw. Keaton gets to his feet but drops to the mat where ZERO make a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Keaton manages to push his way free to break the count.
KD: He tossed him like a baseball there!
P-Dug: He landed with a thud and yet he kicked out
ZERO pulls Keaton to his feet and takes him over with a suplex. Keaton stumbles to his feet where ZERO pulls him into a Black Hole Slam. He hooks the leg.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Keaton rolls to his side to break the count. ZERO punches the mat in frustration. ZERO lifts Keaton to his feet but Keaton manages to grab ZERO hitting a Greco Roman Mongolian Chop. Keaton falls into a cover grabbing a leg as he drops.
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
ZERO lifts his shoulder with such force that he sits up breaking the count. But he falls back to the mat.
P-Dug: Was the the last of his energy?!
KD: No, I think it was his arm!
Keaton is on his feet and he stomps on ZERO’s back and applies a Reverse Exorcism. He wrenches on the hold. He may wrench a little too much as he falls backward. Both roll back until ZERO is on his feet with Keaton on his shoulders in a fireman’s carry. ZERO hoists him up and drives Keaton down with Divided By ZERO. He makes a cover. Instead of making a cover, ZERO applies Ground ZERO. He pulls on the hold. The referee checks on Keaton. He is out. The referee calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: And your winner, via submission... ZERO!!!!
ZERO stands proudly in the ring before stepping over the top rope. He stomps his way to the back with Moises trailing behind him.
KD: What rotten luck! One brief mistake cost Mark Keaton here. Smart on the part of ZERO, he managed to roll himself into a position to hit that backbreaker. He might have been able to pick up the win here tonight with that but he wanted to send a message with Ground ZERO!
P-Dug: As you say smart from Zero but Mark Keaton may have been a half second from the win and that will eat at him!
MATCH #2
The Mercenary & Vin Havoc
Vs Young Justice
(Tag Team Ladder Match)
Referee: Piece Patterson
The Mercenary & Vin Havoc
Vs Young Justice
(Tag Team Ladder Match)
Referee: Piece Patterson
We cut back to ringside.
KD: After that wild opening bout, we now move into a ladder match for a cash prize!
P-Dug: For that much money, even I'd get in that ring to win!
Chriqui: The following match is a Tag Team Ladder Match! Introducing first…
The barks of the intro of 'X Gon Give It To Ya' by DMX pierce the arena, as the crowd anticipates the arrival of Vin Havoc. As soon as DMX utters the chorus, Vin comes bursting out of the back, looking pissed off and reading for a fight. He storms down to the ring.
Chriqui: From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 240 pounds, "Wild Thing"... VIN HAVOC!
Havoc steps to the corner of the ring and does a silent prayer while holding the cross around his neck, hoping for forgiveness on what he's about to do.
Chriqui: And his partner….
Black Label Society's Fire It Up blasts over the PA. A flashing red strobe lights the stage as the rest of the room goes dark.
The Mercenary
![](https://i.imgur.com/6o8Q7lL.gifv)
Mercenary swaggers out onto the stage with his face hidden behind a hard tactical mask painted to look like The Punisher's iconic skull logo. His eyes inside the mask scan the crowd. He crosses both arms, gloved fists clenched, across his chest and under his chin. The pose resembles a skull and crossbones. To either side of him the stage explodes in motes of red and orange flame.
![](https://i.imgur.com/Z4uQV3q.gif)
![](https://i.imgur.com/Z4uQV3q.gif)
Removing the mask the big man salutes the crowd and stalks towards the ring at a steady pace filled with menace and a deadly purpose he climbs between the ropes and walks to the corner where he throws a few shadow punch combos at the turnbuckle before turning with his back to the corner, his arms crossed again across his chest to glower in his opponent's direction and wait for the bell to give him the sign to come out swinging.
Chriqui: And the opponents, weighing in at a combined 243 pounds, Cassie Wolf and Harper Mason... YOUNG JUSTICE!!!
The intro for Jonathon Young's cover of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes theme hits the speakers and Harper and Cassie emerge from the back ready for action, they slap hands with the fans on their way to the ring before sliding in and high fiving each other as they wait for their opponents.
Mercenary knocks Harper down with a clothesline while Cassie ducks a clothesline from Havoc and smacks him with a superkick. He falls back against the ropes where Cassie clotheslines him over the top rope to the floor. She turns into a right hand from Mercenary. He Irish whips her to the corner so hard that she rebounds back out. Mercenary knocks her to the mat with a clothesline before dropping an elbow down to her shoulder blades. Mercenary lifts Cassie to her feet and bodyslams her over the top rope. Havoc slides a ladder into the ring. Mercenary sets it up in the middle of the ring. As he starts to climb, Harper flies in dropkicking Mercenary into the ladder. As he stumbles around the ring, Harper jumps and dropkicks the ladder into Mercenary. Harper runs at Mercenary taking him over the top rope with a tornado DDT. Harper manages to hold onto the top rope and she pulls herself back into the ring. Harper starts to climb the ladder. She climbs rung after rung. As her fingers touch the bottom of the case of cash, Havoc grabs her and leaps from the ladder driving Harper to the mat with a uranage.
KD: He planted her into the ring with that!
P-Dug: Now all he has to do is climb the ladder. Seems easy!
Harper rolls from the ring but Cassie slides in the opposite side. With Havoc looking the other way, Cassie begins to climb the ladder. Havoc realises and climbs the other side. Both reach the top Havoc grabs Cassie and positions her for a suplex. Before he can apply it, Mercenary pushes the ladder over sending Cassie, Havoc and the ladder crashing to the mat. Mercenary grabs Cassie and brings her clattering down onto the ladder with a Suzuki Spike. He kicks Cassie from the ring before setting up the ladder. He starts a climb. As he gets closer to the top, a chair flies in from nowhere smacking him in the back. Harper slides into the ring. She picks up the chair and smacks Mercenary on the back with it. Twice. A third time looks like it hurt. Harper climbs up a few rungs and leaps at Mercenary cracking him with the chair. Both tumble to the mat. Mercenary is on his feet first and he grabs Harper. As he does, Cassie smacks the chair across his back and shoulders. Mercenary staggers allowing Cassie and Harper to knock him down with POW! They take a side each and climb the ladder. As they near the top, Havoc slides into the ring. Cassie cuts him off leaping from the ladder with a moonsault. Havoc catches her and throws Cassie at the ladder knocking it over and sending Harper to the mat.
P-Dug: Was that a strike or a split?
KD: I’m sure that strike will have left
Havoc lifts the ladder and brings it down across Cassie’s back. He lifts it for a second strike but Harper flies in dropkickking the ladder into Havoc’s face. She pulls Havoc to his feet driving him to the mat with a Crowd Killer. Harper sets up the ladder and starts to climb. Slowly but surely, rung by rung almost dragging herself up the ladder. Harper reaches for the case. Mercenary pulls himself into the ring and starts dragging himself up the ladder. He reaches up and shoves Harper sending her crashing down to the mat. Mercenary then climbs up and unhooks the case.
Chriqui: And your winners of the Ladder Match... VIN HAVOC AND MERCENARY !!!!
Mercenary jumps from the ladder to the mat and rolls from the ring. He holds the case in the air with one hand while the other drags Havoc to his feet. Havoc shakes away some cobwebs and he holds up the case in victory.
KD: What a match that was! At the end of it all it is Vin Havoc and Mercenary who come away with the win and the money. I think drinks are on them tonight!
P-Dug: Young Justice gave it their all here! But, had Harper Mason been able to hold on to the ladder or had they been able to keep Mercenary down a little longer, this could have gone their way! A great match either way
KD: And before our main event, I'm told we've got a word from Moxie!

KD: And before our main event, I'm told we've got a word from Moxie!
Camera cuts to ...
The locker room of the Johann Cruyff Arena is dimly lit, with the faint hum of the bustling arena outside filtering through the walls. The air is thick with anticipation and the unmistakable scent of sweat and determination. In this sanctuary away from the chaos, Moxie sits on a wooden bench, his elbows resting on his knees, his gaze intense and unyielding.
The camera zooms in, capturing every detail of Moxie's determined expression as he begins to speak, his voice a low growl that cuts through the silence.
Moxie: Cosmo, I saw your little trip to the Van Gogh Museum, your musings on legacy and suffering. You draw parallels between us, but you don't understand the first thing about true suffering.
He leans forward, his eyes narrowing.
Moxie: You think admiring paintings of a tortured genius makes you one? You think your struggles make you unique? They don't. They make you human. We all have our demons, Cosmo. It's how we face them that defines us.
Moxie stands, his movements deliberate and powerful.
Moxie: You said I disappeared for six months after WrestleFest, that I took my ball and went home. But what you don't understand is that I didn't vanish out of weakness. I took time to refine and reflect, to rebuild myself. And now, I'm back, hungrier and more determined than ever.
He begins pacing the locker room, his boots echoing on the cold floor.
Moxie: You brag about your victories, your consistency, your so-called fighting spirit. But deep down, you're scared. Scared because you know that when it comes to sheer willpower, to surviving hell and coming out stronger, you can't hold a candle to me.
Stopping in front of the camera, Moxie leans in, his eyes boring into the lens.
Moxie: You think that just because you’ve been constantly wrestling, that makes you unbeatable? Endurance isn't just about physical stamina, Cosmo. It's about mental resilience, the ability to withstand the chaos and pain, to push through when every fibre of your being screams at you to quit, you haven’t gotten to that point yet, but you will. Trust me.
He straightens, his voice growing stronger.
Moxie: You mentioned my so-called 'disappearance' and claimed it makes me weak. But let me tell you something, Cosmo: absence makes the heart grow fonder, while you've been running yourself ragged, I've been preparing. Preparing to step back into this ring and reclaim what's mine.
Moxie’s expression hardens, his eyes blazing with determination.
Moxie: You talk about beating me once, about how you've grown. But that was before I found my true self. Before I embraced this new side. And now, there's nothing you can do to stop me. Not your fancy moves, not your place as number one on the rankings, not your prayers to a God who's abandoned you.
He bangs his fist against the wall, his voice rising with intensity.
Moxie: You may have the Fighting Spirit Championship now, but it’s a title that represents resilience, endurance, and the will to fight against all odds. We’ll see if you’re still that guy. You think a two out of three falls match scares me? It plays right into my hands. Because while you've been fighting to maintain your status, I'm now fighting to redefine mine.
Moxie shoves the camera away, fizzling to static once it collides with the floor. The show then moves on to…
MAIN EVENT | MATCH #3
Moxie
Vs Cosmo Goldworthy
(2/3 Falls Match, Non-Title)
Referee: Toyo Yasahiro
Moxie
Vs Cosmo Goldworthy
(2/3 Falls Match, Non-Title)
Referee: Toyo Yasahiro
We return to ringside where the fans are more than ready for the main event.
KD: It is now main event time! Two out of three falls as Moxie and Cosmo Goldworthy will be giving it their absolute all with a potential championship match up for grabs for Moxie if he gets the win!
P-Dug: And Cosmo will be trying his absolute best to try and hold Moxie off! It’s a high stakes matchup, and this is what Rampage’s all about!
Chriqui: The following non-title match is a two out of three falls contest! Introducing first from London, England & weighing in at 205 pounds... MOXIE!!!
The Gracious Few's 'Honest Man' hits the speakers, prompting the lights to dance around the arena with an ominous red glow. Moxie emerges from behind the curtain, with Amis Shelton following closely behind. He marches to the end of the stage and glares at the capacity crowd surrounding him. Raising his fist to his jaw, Moxie lets out a roar and walks down the aisle, ignoring the paying spectators.
He slides underneath the bottom rope and rises to his feet in the middle of the ring. Moxie faces the crowd before snapping back to face the camera, emphatically raising both clenched fists high above his head before slowly descending them in stereo to both sides of his jaw.
KD: It’s been months since we’ve seen Moxie in action on Friday nights, but there’s no better opportunity than tonight!
P-Dug: Without a doubt. Moxie seems extremely determined and it’s clear that he’s completely changed his entire demeanor and preparation going into this matchup.
Chriqui: And his opponent, accompanied by Dimitri Graves, from The Golden State & weighing in at 201 pounds... HE IS THE EWC FIGHTING SPIRIT CHAMPION ... COSMO GOLDWORTHY!!!
The arena plunges into darkness as the electric beat of "Money On My Mind" reverberates throughout the building. Gold and white lines then strobe throughout the building as the EWC Fighting Spirit Champion Cosmo Goldworthy swaggers out with his manager Dimitri Graves towing behind with a sinister smirk on his face. Cosmo opens up his Louis Vuitton jacket to show off the Fighting Spirit Championship around his waist, the gold glistening under the arena lights as he struts down the ramp. Cosmo slides in, climbing the top rope and raising the Too Sweets up high for everyone - as regardless of if you're with The House or against them, noise is being made from every corner of the building. Cosmo drops off the top rope, removing his jacket and championship; handing both to Dimitri outside.
KD: With Night Of Champions on the horizon, there’s no telling how focused Cosmo Goldworthy is. Last time he competed on Rampage, he was the United States Champion...
P-Dug: ...And now he’s looking to fight back for his respect as the very best on Rampage. It’s a tall task for Cosmo, but defeating Moxie will definitely help him remain where he wants to be.
DING DING DING
Cosmo and Moxie immediately engage into an aggressive lockup. Moxie swings around and takes Cosmo’s waist, elbowing him in the back multiple times! He turns him around for an irish whip, but Cosmo swats the hand down and elbows him! He chops him, then twirls under to grab the waist. Moxie sends elbows to the back of the head before he can do anything. Free from Cosmo, Moxie hits off the ropes but he’s blasted with a dropkick! Cosmo drags Moxie up and lifts him for an exploder suplex, but Moxie floats over and tosses him with a german suplex! Cosmo clutches the back of his head, and rises in the corner. Moxie leaps into a knee to the jaw! He tosses him to the center where he follows up with a northern lariat to the back of the head! Desperate to get an immediate first fall, Moxie rolls him over for the cover.
ONE!
TW— Cosmo kicks out!
Moxie pulls Cosmo up and clinches him. He throws knees to the ribs, then winds back for one to the head but Cosmo catches the leg!
